Arizona State opened the game on a 16-2 run, during which ASU guard Sarah Allen scored 9 points, including two three-pointers. The run ended at 16:07 of the first half.
Washington responded to the run with a 6-2 run of its own to close to 18-10 with 11:45 to go in the first half. Megan Franza scored four of the Huskies six points during that stretch.
Emily Autrey achieved her first career double-double, despite playing just 10 total minutes, all in the second half. Her 13 points and 11 rebounds were both career highs.
Leann Sheets 12 points were a season high.
The Huskies are now 9-5 in Pac-10 openers.
The Sundevils 78-76 loss marks their first loss this season when scoring more than 70 points.
This is also the first time Washington has won when trailing at the half, while the Sundevils lost for the first time when leading at the the half. ASU held a 40-33 lead at the break.
The Huskies tied a season-low for three-point field goals made with two. Megan Franza was 1 for 3 from beyond the arc, while Loree Payne was 1 for 5.
ASUs Kitch Kitchen, last weeks Pac-10 Player of the Week, was held to just 10 points on 3 of 9 shooting. Kitchen was the culprit in 10 of ASUs season-high 28 turnovers.
Nine of ASUs 15 first-half field goals were lay-ins. The Sun Devils were held to just two layins the rest of the way. ASUs shooting percentage also fell over that span, from 63 percent in the first half to 40 percent in the second half.
Today also marks ASUs first loss when outshooting its opponent. ASUs 51 percent shooting slight bested Washingtons 49 percent shooting.
Guards Megan Franza and Loree Payne combined for 15 and 19 points, respectively, keeping intact the tandems string of 15 consecutive games with each scoring in double figures. Franza and Payne have each scored in double figures in every Husky outing this year.

Several limited editions have been revealed in regards to the upcoming PS4 and Xbox One ports of the multiplatform title, "The Elder Scrolls Online." According to a report from Just Push Start on May 10, the massively multiplayer online role-playing game is getting a special steel book based on the three alliances in the story. Players can pick between the Aldmeri Dominion, Daggerfall Covenant and Ebonheart Pact editions.
The steel book cover features a character of the alliance on one side. The other side includes various signatures from several prominent members of the development team. The limited editions are exclusive to EB Games and priced at $99.95 each in Australia. Furthermore, customers who reserved the video game in advance are also getting a few pre-order bonuses with the Explorer's Pack. The DLC expansion comes with the Scuttler vanity pet, four treasure maps as well as the option to pick between the nine playable races.
EB Games currently does not have an official release date for "The Elder Scrolls Online" on the PS4 and Xbox One. ZeniMax Online Studios previously confirmed that the console ports have been pushed back due to some difficulties with implementing some of the features onto the Playstation Network and Xbox Live. Instead of the planned release for next month, the launch date got postponed for approximately half a year. Even if the game managed to come out before the end of the year, it would have to compete against a lot of big holiday releases.
"The Elder Scrolls Online" has been available for the PC and Mac platforms since last month. ZeniMax Online Studios had to deal with a lot of launch issues so far, including a few exploits and bots. The development team ended up having to release weekly updates continually in order to fix the numerous problems. A screenshot showing a character in the multiplatform title from the official Facebook page can be seen near the top of this article.

Please, Please, Help. Mtp Device Error.
Hi, Guys.
I really need your help.
I just bought a zen vision :M and can not use it. When I connect it to the computer, I get the found new hardware message. When I go to install it, after a little while I get this:
"Can not install this hardware. There was a problem installing this Hardware.
MTP Device.
An error occured during the installation of the service.
The specified servicedoes not exist as an installed service."
I have called the Creative three times. First time they told me to do a "clean boot". I did it, but nothing changed.
The second time they told me to make sure that all drivers are updated, and to no avail.
The third time they told me to contact my computer manufacturer(Dell).
I e-mailed them, since my warranty is over. They sent me an article on Microsoft Visio, which I don't even have.
So, now I'm lost and pissed off. I bought two zen vision :m (one for me and one for misses)and I can't use them. Please, please, help me. I have tried to uninstall all of the creative software and hardware and then reinstalled it again, it did not help.
I have windows Xp sp2. Dell dimension 4550. I have a windows media player 11.
Eagerly, awaiting your response.

the only advice i would have is to remove and reinstall the driver (while its connected) from the device manager but it seems you have already done that.
Do check this thread: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum...ad.php?t=10960
It sounds like a similar thing.
Cliffs: Tell us if you see any ZEN items in device manager.

SUPER to convert videos and music.
The most recent and fully patched version of WMP 11 has MTP drivers in it. Perhaps you could upgrade, if you haven't already
Zen Stone Plus 2g, Zen 4g, Zen Micro 5g, Zen VM 30g, Sandisk Sansa C240, Sandisk 1g silver
*all currently operational*
I have the wmp 11 installed. When I do go device manager, it shows a creative zen vision :m with a yellow exclamation point. I have tried to install the driver manually by right clicking it, but then I get the same message.I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the windows media player but nothing has changed. Any suggestions?
Once again, thank you for your help.
Is the device fully charged?
I would unplug the zvm, restart your pc, then try plugging it in again on another usb port, then let it charge for a while.
I had exactly the same problem.
the zen vision is fully charged. I have tried all of my usb ports, but that did not work. I have uninstalled all of the drivers and reinstalled them again. That did not work as well. Dell has refused to help me , unless I'll go through their paid service. You guys are my last hope. Also, could anybody suggest a good technical support service that is not to expensive?
Thank You.
My only other guess is that service pack 2 is on, but I can't see how you could have wmp11 without sp2.
My only suggestions:
Also check on another computer; since you have two players it sounds like your computer is at fault.

You said you have two players, and both of them are causing this same error on your computer? My first thought: something's wrong with your computer.
Try another computer, or even two. Don't need to install the Creative software, just plug in the player in the USB port and leave it alone and let the computer go through the process of recognizing it, and it should start charging. Make sure the computer is XP SP2, and having WMP11 wouldn't hurt.
Let us know what happens.
PS, sorry to hear about your Dell support. I've heard a lot of bad things about them in the past few years. I could tell you horror stories about HP/Compaq as well. If you ever have computer problems, and can't get Dell to help, you might try http://www.techguy.org/.

MTP service error for Zen Vision M
I just figured out this "service not installed" error that I was getting when I plugged in my 30Gb Vision M. Windows Media player had failed to install properly and the MTP service is somehow a part of WMP. If you are having the same issue reinstall WMP (or whatever other media player software) you may have installed and that may fix the problerm
WinXP does not reach MTP compliancy until at least WMP10 or WMP11 is installed. With Vista, MTP is natively supported.
That exclamation mark next to the entry in Device Manager means that the player is getting recognized correctly, it is just that Windows is having problems loading the driver for it. If you double click on the entry, what does it say under device status for the reason for the error? It may just be something keeping the driver from loading like another service, software, or lack of driver file. You can try to go about installing the driver manual in a few ways:
To verify that the MTP driver is being used:
1. In Device Manager, double left click on the Creative Zen listing under Portable Devices and select the Details Tab.
2. In the "Property" drop down box select "Inf Name" in. It should say "WPDMTP.INF".
To change the driver or install the driver in case of error:
1. In Device Manager, double left click on the Creative Zen listing under Portable Devices.
2. Select the Driver Tab and then select the Update Driver box.
3. Select the "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
4. Select MTP Device within the Model box and select the Next button.
5. Windows will then install the MTP driver for the Zen.
6. Select Close on the next two screens and Device Manager should show the Zen under Portable Devices as Creative Zen with no errors.
To force the Zen to use the MTP driver when connected and asked for drivers:
1. With the Zen connected, uninstall the Zen listing within Device Manager.
2. Using Windows Explorer, navigate into your windows/inf folder and "Copy" (not Cut) the wpdmtp.inf to your desktop.
3. Now connect your device and when it detects it as a new device, don't "automatically install driver. Select " click to specify the location..." and choose not to search for the driver. Click the option to specify what driver you want to use. Click next.
4. The next window should ask you what driver to use and the top of the list should say "show all devices." Click next.
5. The next window select "have disk" and point the path of the driver to the desktop where you put wpdmtp.inf and select OK.
It should then force the MTP driver to load for that device. You have now reinstalled all USB and USB host controller drivers and forced the Zen to use the correct MTP driver it is supposed to use. Again, try to see if your problem still exists.
If you can't install the driver when it is first detected or update it in device manager without an error code, try it this way:
1. With the Zen connected, right clicking on the driver when it shows in Device Manager and select Uninstall.
2. Then try and add the Zen as a MTP device using Add New Hardware Wizard in Control Manager.
3. Manually select the MTP Device and it will load the MTP driver for the Zen.
4. If you ever get prompted with anything saying that the device may not work properly or the driver isn't for that device, go through with it anyway.
If you are still having problems with getting the driver to work, then I would question whether or not MTP is installed correctly on your computer. You may want to download and reinstall WMP11 in order to get MTP working again.<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Safe Schools Coalition launches in NSW
A program that fosters and creates a safe and inclusive school environment for LGBTI young people has been launched in New South Wales.
Safe Schools Coalition NSW model builds on guidelines developed by Safe Schools Coalition Victoria in 2010; which saw 134 Victorian schools sign up to the model and 4,500 teachers, principals and school support staff take part in professional development on sexual and gender diversity.
Safe Schools Coalition NSW will be delivered by Family Planning NSW in partnership with the national youth organisation, Foundation for Young Australians (FYA). As the national convener of the program, FYA has received $8 million in funding over four years from the Australian Government Department of Education to deliver the program in participating secondary schools around Australia.
FYA CEO, Jan Owen, said a safe and supportive school environment was essential to students' wellbeing.
"It is really important that students have opportunities to build the kind of community they want to live in, and it begins with education," Owen said.
"Young people seek happiness by belonging, and do best at school when they are supported and included by the whole school community. We invite every NSW school to pledge their membership to the Safe Schools Coalition."

Family Planning NSW Chief Executive Officer, Ann Brassil, agreed, and suggested the guidelines were important in promoting an environment where all students were nurtured ans supported regardliess of sexual orientation or gender diversity.
"We are pleased to be part of such an important program dedicated to making schools safer and more inclusive for same sex attracted, intersex and gender diverse young people," said Brassil. "With the support of ACON and the NSW Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby we are part of the move to create positive change to ensure that every student and every teacher in every school has access to a safe and inclusive learning environment."
"Rolling out the Safe Schools program throughout NSW will help us build education and awareness about sexual and gender diversity in schools to help reduce the verbal and physical abuse and violence experienced by students in homophobic and transphobic environments," Brassil added.
Membership to the Safe Schools Coalition is free and must be approved by the school's principal. By signing on, schools commit to building a school that is free from homophobic and transphobic bullying and is safe and inclusive for the whole school community.

Harford County Executive David Craig promises to veto raises for council members
Harford County Executive David Craig does not support the plan to give council members and the next County Executive pretty sizable raises and has promised to veto the bill if it comes across his desk.
The proposal comes at a time when teachers in Harford County say a salary freeze has forced many of them to find work somewhere else.
The head of the union representing them says 270 teachers chose to leave the system this year. Many of the teachers, he said, left because for five of the past six years they have not gotten the raises promised to them in their contract.
"We're basically the lowest paid system in the state," said Ryan Burbey, president of the Harford County Education Association.
The Harford County Council has introduced a proposal that would increase the county executive's salary from $90,000 a year to $130,000.
The base salaries for council members would go from $31,000 to $45,000.
"I just don't even know why it's being considered. It represents an utter lack of leadership that it was even introduced," Burbey said.
On Monday, current County Executive David Craig, whose term expires later this year, told ABC2 News he will veto the legislation if it passes.
"It's not fair to give the elected officials a pay raise that's higher, or before you give the county employees, the teachers, the deputies a pay raise," he said.
As for the lack of raises for teachers, Craig says the county is still recovering from the economic collapse of 2008.
"Maybe we couldn't give them a pay raise but we didn't eliminate their positions. They need to understand that many of their neighbors who might not have been working in the government section may have lost their job or may have lost much of their salary," he said.
The school system has been hiring new teachers to replace the ones who left. A spokeswoman for the system says there are now only about 21 vacancies, mostly in areas like special education where many systems have shortages.
Burbey said finding new teachers is only the start. Keeping them long-term, he added, is the real challenge.
"It gets to a point where what you really want in a school system is consistency and if you can't provide that to your kids or to your teachers than you're failing them," Burbey said.
The Harford County Council is set to vote on the raises next month. County Executive Craig said if they pass he will veto them, but there could be enough votes on the council to override his veto.
Meanwhile, a Bel Air parent has launched a petition to force Harford County officials to search line-by-line for waste in the county's budget to find funding to pay teachers.

Sarah Hendrickson had just started ski jumping when the 2002 Winter Olympics came to Park City.
She had watched her older brother, Nick, take up the sport and decided to try it out for herself at the age of seven.
Now the 18-year-old Park City resident is the world champion and looking forward to competing in an Olympic competition of her own.
"Right now, my goal is just to make the team," she said. "It's still 11 months away, so anything can happen."
But with a World Championships gold medal now on her résumé, her confidence is at an all-time high heading into the rest of the 2012-13 season.
"It hasn't really sunk in yet; it's been kind of crazy," she said. "I'm super happy. Every day I'd wake up and dream of that day, so for it to happen was really cool."
Up at the top of the hill in Val di Fiemme, Italy, Hendrickson said she was more nervous than she usually is before a big jump.
"For ski jumping, you want to be as relaxed as possible," she said. "It's not that easy to balance your nervousness."
But that's exactly what she did, jumping 347 feet, nine inches and a score of 253.7 points, besting Japan's Sara Takanashi by 2.7 points.
After Hendrickson was declared the winner, she was mobbed by her teammates, who put her on their shoulders while she waved an American flag.
After going through knee surgery in April 2012 and being forced to compete on shorter skis after the post-surgery weight loss due to FIS rules, Hendrickson wasn't able to match her impressive 2011-12 season, during which she won nine of the 13 events and won the World Cup overall title in the sport's inaugural season. But she still won an event in Sochi, Russia, site of the 2014 Olympics, on Dec. 8.
Though Takanashi has already clinched the 2013 World Cup title, ensuring Hendrickson won't defend her title, she still has something to compete for in the last couple events of the season.
"I'm still in the running for a podium," she said.
After the season comes to an end, it will be on to the offseason workouts for Hendrickson and her teammates.
"We do a lot of training on and off the hill," she said. "It can be pretty strenuous."
But, she added, all that training will be worth it if it leads to a trip to Sochi next February.
Most importantly though, Hendrickson said she wants to make sure she keeps having fun.
"I just want to keep enjoying the sport and enjoying the travel," she said.

Janken Robot Faster, Smarter, Better Than Before
In 2012, the University of Tokyo made headlines when it unveiled the "janken" robot, a sophisticated machine that used a high-tech camera to detect human hand movements at astonishing speed. Equipped with ultra-quick motors, the device could beat any human in a match of rock-paper-scissors, or "janken" in Japanese.
Many asked why the country's leading university was spending time developing such a device. In response, the latest version of the janken machine was put on exhibition at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2014 in Yokohama, May 21-23.
JRT interviewed Prof. Masatoshi Ishikawa, who led the university team that developed the machine. Here is an excerpt.
Q: Has the janken robot undergone any upgrades?
Yes. The previous version, which was designed to recognize hand movements with a high degree of accuracy, only decided on its own hand after the opponent presented his or hers first. It looked like the machine could foretell what was coming because its movements were too fast for the human eye. But technically it was doing an "ato-dashi" (delayed response, an act of cheating).
The improvement was completed last November. The new version can detect what's coming before the opponent's hand is complete (due to improved cameras that sense tiny movements leading to a specific hand). And it can, at times, present its hand before the opponent does.
Q: Why was the machine displayed at an exposition of automobile engineering?
We are aiming to develop the technology for automated driving and other uses. Image processing technology is already being used to control cars, and will likely expand in the future. So we are still trying to make the machine's performance even faster.
Q: How much has it cost to develop the machine?
It is difficult to determine which part of our budget was solely used for the development of the janken machine, so we haven't disclosed the figure.
Q: Can we expect version 3.0 of the janken machine in the near future?
The original version could move quickly, but only after it recognized the final shape of the opponent's hand. The new version can detect what's coming and can actually put out a winning hand in advance in some cases. We'd like to improve that part so it is faster than the opponent 100% of the time. It may take us a bit of time to complete that.

The Branson community is cleaning up after the "Leap Day" tornado. Citizens and concerned neighbors are hard at work assessing damage, clearing the debris and making plans to repair and rebuild.
If you're planning a visit to Branson, most shows are open. Those affected by the tornado are making plans, repairs and, if need be, seeking new locations.
Entertainers and businesses ask that you go ahead with plans to visit. Your support is needed.
Although nearby Kimberling City suffered significant damage to boat docks and marine facilities, Table Rock Lake is open and the fishing is good. Silver Dollar City is preparing for Family Spring Break Days on March 15.
If there's a good side to natural disasters, it's the people coming together to help each other. Branson is one of many communities experiencing the outpouring of support from concerned friends and neighbors.

In honor of Valentine's Day, this is the second in a series of three love stories, featuring artists in the Snapshot exhibition—Pierre Bonnard, Henri Evenepoel, and Edouard Vuillard—and the ladies they loved. Today's story is that of Belgian artist Henri Evenepoel and his lady love Louise de Mey.
" . . . I felt a mission, a duty, a usefulness, a reason to be: together we struggle, suffer, oh yes! horribly, but I have no regrets because I have found a soul to fortify mine."
– Henri Evenepoel, 1897
Henri Evenepoel's life could be the basis of a fantastically dramatic HBO or BBC miniseries. His short life was punctuated by love, sickness, and brilliant artistic talent. His love story, almost Shakespearean in its tragedy, began—where else?— in Paris.
Evenepoel arrived in Paris in 1892 at the age of twenty. He quickly fell in love with his new city and with his cousin, Louise de Mey. Yes, his cousin. To add more drama to an already uncomfortable situation, Louise was married with two small girls, Henriette and Sophie. But that didn't stop Evenepoel and Louise from falling in love and producing a son, Charles, in 1894. Continue reading "Henri Evenepoel and Louise de Mey: Star-Crossed Cousins/Lovers" »

In the past nobody had a cell phone,nowadays most people have a cell phone,I will call for help,but your not getting in my car.Years ago my Dad had a policy that stuck,I don't pick up Hitchhikers,Something about not putting his family in danger etc.
Sounds like you did the right thing. Every situation is going to be different. One Winter back in the 90s I saw a truck on the side of the road and I could tell it was not running. I could also see the young male driver, wife & child in the front. The thing is it was -40 degrees ! I had the wife & child get in my truck and I pulled the guy & his truck about three miles to his house. Must have been a cold ride for him. Only three weeks later did I find out that the wife was my sister in laws sister who I had never met! Generally though I do not pick up hitch hikers. Too many drunks, druggies and just plain foul smelling people.
I don't know what kind of nut would even ask a stranger for help late at night like that. That's what cell phones and AAA are for.
The one girl that works for me told me a story of her and her friends hitchhiking back in the 80's. Like 6 of them - all 18-20 year old girls. Anyway - a guy in a pickup pulls over and 4 of em hop in the bed and the girl that works for me and her best friend hop in the cab. The cab is a MESS - crap everywhere - so they ended up on the outside edge of the benchseat with a pile of crap between them and the driver. About 5 minutes later the girl who works for me looks over (she was on the door side) to see the driver with his junk hanging out going to town on himself! Obviously - they all got the heck out of that truck and ran away. Stupidstupidstupid. Luckily she's a lot wiser these days and lived through it.
Years ago my bother in law was flagged down by a woman with a small child. She said she was stranded and need a ride. Once she got in the car with her child she pulled a gun and forced him to drive to a bad part of town. She then robbed him of all his valuables. He managed to distract her and fled the car. He was later able to flag down a police officer. After that incident I decided I would never pick up anybody but would call the police.
Needing a ride is fine. That's what taxis are for. Needing more-serious assistance is great. That's what police are for. But as your brother found out, sometimes nothing is so all-fired urgent to dictate that a person drop all practical defense measures in order to assist. It's often just as simple as heading into town to get help, and have it sent. Given the availability of cell phones, too, help's often only a phone call away. And such steps help to "out" the nefarious who'd otherwise do us damage. Short of someone dying of exposure, there's nothing wrong with a few minutes' delay to get proper help.
I don't know whether I would actually stop in this scenario, but if I did and the person said he needed gas, I would tell him I'll call the police to have them come out and help him. If someone is legitimately in need of help, I would think they'd appreciate me calling and not get bent out of shape.
My wife was home alone one evening and a woman rang our bell saying she needed help with her car and asked if she could she use our phone. My wife never opened the door but offered to call the police for the woman. The woman kept insisting she had to use the phone, and my wife was adamant that she would call the police for the woman. The woman walked away. Think about it - if you were in trouble and someone offered to call the police for you, wouldn't you be grateful?

Fish Fashion: Laser-Cut 'Designer' Sushi Wrappers (Nori)
This is a line of laser-cut nori (seaweed) sushi wrappers created by Japanese ad agency I&S BBDO (pronounced boobie-do, as in, "her stomach sticks out further than her boobie-do") for Umino Seaweed to help boost business after last year's devastating tsunami. I dig them. I also dig for buried treasure on the beach. "Ever find anything?" Just a hermit crab wearing a used condom for a shell :/
Hit the jump for closeups of some of the designs.
Thanks to bb, who knows all too well if I eat sushi late at night I yell in my sleep. And to the TOASTer, who burnt my bread this morning so we're not really on speaking terms. I can't believe it -- you KNEW that was my last slice and you still did it!

Freshman Kaley Dodson (Seal Beach, Calif./Los Alamitos HS) of the top-ranked Stanford women's water polo team was selected as the Stanford/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 6.
Dodson continued her strong collegiate debut in 2011 at the Stanford Invitational this past weekend, scoring a total of six goals, including the tournament-winner with 16 seconds left in the second sudden-death period of overtime against USC which gave the Cardinal its second straight tournament title.

This week's Muscle Milk honor is the first of Dodson's career and the first this season for the Cardinal women's water polo team.
Stanford (8-0) returns to action Sunday, Feb. 20, when the Cardinal travels to Stockton to take on Pacific in a 1 p.m. contest.

Junior WR Jaylan Barbour of Monroe, NC took in Saturday's USC-Georgia game with his father and a teammate. Barbour said he was stuck in traffic and got to the stadium too late to meet with the coaches. So, he just sat in the stands and took in the game. "The fans, 85,199 of them, that's a lot of fans," he said. "The offense is very explosive. They get the ball to anybody and they will make a play." Barbour said he has offers from USC, North Carolina, Duke, East Carolina, NC State and Appalachian State. He has also been to a game at North Carolina. He lists USC as his leader followed by UNC and Duke. Last season Barbour had 84 catches for 897 yards and 10 touchdowns. He's been hampered by a high ankle sprain this season and has missed some time. He has 30 catches for 200 yards and 2 scores.Tweet

This next week my beloved Aggies will enter the NCAA men's tournament. The Aggies are projected to have their best seed in years. This team is stacked with seniors who have dominated this season and have a dearth of experience.
I hope that America sees a lot of this in the next few weeks:
It's been a full decade since the Aggies advanced out of the first round of the NCAA tournament. However, I believe, sincerely, that this team is capable of a deep run in the tournament.
But I also know Utah sports history. I was speaking with my friend Derek on the phone this last week. Derek isn't from Utah, but he is familiar with Utah sports. "You know," he said, "the problem with all those teams from Utah is that they're always good, but they're never great."
That's painfully true.
Utah is a place where the teams are consistently good, but never great. Where, year after year, our teams fall just shy of Championships and being the best.
The most obvious, and tragic example are the Malone-Stockton era Utah Jazz. The Jazz made every single playoffs from 1984 to 2003 when John Stockton retired and the era ended. Every. single. year. And not a single championship to show for it. When I was growing up, my faith in the Jazz to eventually win it all was nothing short of pure. I was certain that they would one day reach the promised land. It wasn't until 1997 that they even made the NBA Finals, although, I don't think any fan base was as elated by a Finals appearance as Jazz fans were that year. It was nothing short of magical.
As fun as those NBA Finals appearances were, they ended in heartbreak:
But it's not just the Jazz either. The Aggies have won 23 games for twelve straight years! Only Gonzaga and Kansas can make that claim alongside my beloved Aggies. And yet, the Aggies have not advanced in the NCAA tournament since 2001 when they beat Ohio State. Each season builds with excitement through February and ends with what has begun to feel like inevitable defeat in March.
The Utes nearly won a National Championship in 1998. They played Kentucky, who had dispatched the Utes the two previous seasons in earlier rounds. Going into the half, the Utes were up by 10 but managed to blow the lead and lose 78-69.
I know what you Cougars are saying.
"We won a National Championship in football in 1984."
Yes, you did. And while the Cougars did win a national championship, they also provoked this incredulous, and now infamous retort from Bryant Gumble, "How can you rank BYU No. 1? Who'd they play — Bo Diddley Tech?" The sting of history has even worse to the 1984 Cougars, now considered to be one of the most overrated championship teams in the history of sports. Even when a Utah sports team wins a championship it's considered illegitimate!
And then there are those recent Ute football teams that did win BCS games. Just not the BCS Championship. Those Utah teams might have actually been great, and not just good, but they were never given the chance to show it.
And so, selection Sunday, I'll tune in to the watch the bracket announced. And, I'll have a sincere, pure faith that this year, this team will be different than all those other Utah teams from the past.
These Aggies will be great.

As in previous editions, the focus in PREALGEBRA & INTRODUCTORY ALGEBRA remains on the Aufmann Interactive Method (AIM). Students are encouraged to be active participants in the classroom and in their own studies as they work through the How To examples and the paired Examples and You Try It problems. Student engagement is crucial to success. Presenting students with worked examples, and then providing them with the opportunity to immediately solve similar problems, helps them build their confidence and eventually master the concepts. Simplicity is key in the organization of this edition, as in all other editions. All lessons, exercise sets, tests, and supplements are organized around a carefully constructed hierarchy of objectives. Each exercise mirrors a preceding objective, which helps to reinforce key concepts and promote skill building. This clear, objective-based approach allows students to organize their thoughts around the content, and supports instructors as they work to design syllabi, lesson plans, and other administrative documents. New features like Focus on Success, Apply the Concept, and Concept Check add an increased emphasis on study skills and conceptual understanding to strengthen the foundation of student success. The Third Edition also features a new design, enhancing the Aufmann Interactive Method and making the pages easier for both students and instructors to follow.

ORONO, Maine -- The University of Maine men's basketball team heads to Boston to take on the Northeastern Huskies on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. Fans can hear all the action on the Black Bear Sports Network.
The University of Maine men's basketball team (1-4) travels to take on CAA member Northeastern (4-2) for the first time since the 2007-08 season.
The Black Bears are coming off a 72-66 win over Siena, which snapped a 12-game losing skid to the Saints.
Xavier Pollard notched career-highs of 15 points and 12 assists while Alasdair Fraser added 17 points, nine rebounds and three blocks and Justin Edwards pitched in with 19 points and six boards.
Northeastern is coming off a 67-59 loss to Charlotte in the championship game of the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout.
Joel Smith had a game-high 19 points while David Walker added 13 points and four assists for the Huskies.
The Black Bears and Huskies last tangled on Nov. 24, 2007, with the Huskies taking the contest 70-57.
Northeastern owns a 64-46 edge in the series and has a three-game win streak against the Black Bears dating back to when the two sides were both in America East.
Maine's Fraser is looking for his sixth-consecutive game to open the season with at least eight rebounds and his fourth game in his last five with at least three blocks.

Learn how to downgrade your Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7
You might already know that when you have bought the license for using Windows 8 Pro, you have also been entitled with the right to downgrade this system to Windows 7. Even if some of us would wonder why would you want to take this action, there are quite a lot of people complaining about the Metro interface, lack of native DVD support and other stuff which tend to be not so welcomed by the Windows fans community.
But before going on with the Windows 8 Pro downgrade tutorial, you need to know that Microsoft has designed this procedure for the business environment, therefore common users might find it a bit difficult. But, you don't have to worry because, after reading this article, you will be completely able to perform the downgrade to Windows 7.
There are several "fortunate" situations, though. And that's when you have bought, in the past, a PC which came with Windows 7 already installed. In this situation, if you have upgraded your OS to the new Windows 8 Pro, and now you need to revert to the previous OS, a simple system restore would be enough to solve your issue. Alternatively, if you own a Windows 7 DVD, then you just have to make fresh install of your operating system. But, in both cases, before proceeding with W7 installation, please don't forget to back-up your data.
A few words about the downgrade rights
You should know that the downgrade rights are available only in the situation when you have bought a computer on which Windows 8 Pro has already been installed. We have highlighted this aspect because W8 Pro is also available as an upgrade option from standard W8 editions. But, in this second situation you will not have the downgrade rights included.
Another important aspect that you need to know is that Windows 8 Pro can be downgraded only to Windows 7 Professional or Windows Vista Business. You will not be able to choose Windows XP.
In case you want to revert to W8 after downgrading it, you should be able to do it without any problem.
Things you need to take care before W8 Pro downgrade
The following actions are required for computers which came with Windows 8 Pro pre-installed by the factory:
– make sure that your desktop/ laptop is able to run on Windows 7. We are not specifically referring to the hardware configuration because, obviously, if a machine is able to work with the latest OS from Microsoft, it will surely run W7 perfectly. However, your attention should concentrate over the drivers for your computer's hardware. That's because hardware manufacturers could already produce parts which are only supported by Windows 8 drivers.
– the back-up of your data is an important thing that should be done before this downgrade. Also, a special attention must be given to the partition which holds the W8 Pro installation kit. You might want to back-up this partition because, in the future, you might want to revert to the OS which came on your machine, by default.
Windows 8 downgrade to Windows 7 guide
1. First of all, you need to enable the "legacy boot option" from the UEFI settings screen. If you don't know how to that, please refer to the owner's manual which came with your computer, because there are different procedures for this action, depending on the brand of your desktop/ laptop;
2. Now it is time to grab an Windows 7 installation kit. Yes, we know, that's the most difficult part of this downgrading procedure. As mentioned above, the downgrade rights are intended for business environment, in which such installation kits are available all the time. Microsoft will not provide you with this installation disc and its product key. Our recommendation is use a Windows 7 legit copy and not try to download it from illegal websites. The same applies for the product key, too.
3. As soon as you have the W7 installation disc, please insert it into your computer and restart the machine. The installation of your new "old" OS will start now;
4. At some point in this process you will be required to insert the Windows 7 product key. It has been provided together with installation kit, therefore all you have to do now is to insert correctly its characters. If you need to perform the Windows 8 Pro downgrade on several other machines, it is OK to use the same W7 license key on them, too. You will want to do that in order to pass this installation checkpoint.
5. After the setup process has ended, Windows 7 Pro will try to activate this copy online but, of course, it will fail. That's because the key you have inserted has already been used. Therefore, a phone activation is needed in this situation. In the start menu of your OS, you need to type "activate" and select the "Activate Windows" option. You will be provided with one or more phone numbers form the Microsoft call centers. Use them in order to explain your situation and the fact that you need to downgrade from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7. You should know that the product key of your Windows 8 Pro will be asked from you, on the phone.
6. At the end, you will be provided with an activation code for your freshly installed OS. Note that it will work just one time. Insert it in the "Windows Activation" menu and your operating system will now be activated.
As mentioned above, you can use the same Windows 7 installation disc and product key for downgrades from Windows 8 Pro on several other computers. However, you need to know that the procedure is the same as described above, meaning you have to call to Microsoft call centers for each process in part.
As you can see, the downgrade from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 7 is not such a simple procedure and the most annoying part is considered to be the one when you have to call Microsoft and explain you need to downgrade from Windows 8 Pro and let them know that your OS is legit and it also has downgrade rights. And that's why we ten to believe that this procedure has been designed especially for the business environment, in which a W7 installation kit can be easily found.

Perhaps Abbott agrees with Cruz. Regular Republicans are 'squishies'. Perhaps that is why he decided to campaign with Ted Nugent. Nevertheless, Nugent has been described as a racist, and that most surely does not fit in with what the Republicans said they wanted to do. Other Republicans are backing away and the Democrats are watching. The Republicans were going to embrace people of color. They were going to become a 'big tent'.
Big tent? Not likely, because if Nugent has anything to do with it the tent will only have white people in it. Moreover, it is doubtful that the majority of white people would even want to be there. The tent would only hold white supremacists. Gladly, although they make headlines,they are the minority.
Abbott is now trying to distance himself from Nugent because Ted Nugent received backlash from the way he spoke about President Obama. according to Wolf Blitzer the words ""subhuman mongrel" were used by the Nazis to "justify the genocide of the Jewish community." We found ample evidence that the Nazis used those words -- in their own language -- to repeatedly describe Jewish people in the build-up to the Holocaust. We rate his statement True."
If that is the case,then Nugent may well be preparing the minds of other white supremacists to murder President Obama, and other African Americans as well. Nugent speaks with sounds of the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK really appears to be the Tea Party of today. Democrats are not the only ones who have considered this.
The Republican Party is divided for fear of what the Tea Party will do to them. It is perhaps a lot more than just being primaried for them. It is a modern day enactment of the Civil War. There is hatred for people of color, but also for northern whites who may be moderates in the Republican Party.
The KKK is "a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders."
The Republican Party/Tea Party will never be able to allow an immigration program because they are designed after the order of the KKK. The KKK activities are further defined as "burning crosses and staging rallies, parades and marches denouncing immigrants, Catholics, Jews, blacks and organized labor. The civil rights movement of the 1960s also saw a surge of Ku Klux Klan activity, including bombings of black schools and churches and violence against black and white activists in the South."
We have seen the rallies of the Tea Party and heard all the ranting. We have seen the vile posters of President Obama, and it all describes the KKK. Is the KKK running our country? If so, nobody can have the country back!
Nugent called the 44th president, the first African American President in America, a "subhuman mongrel" and went on the say that ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has "spare scrotums."
"That's what the Nazis called Jews to justify the genocide of the Jewish community," Blitzer said in a Feb. 18, 2014, interview. "They called them untermenschen, subhuman mongrels. If you read some of the literature that the Nazis put out there, there is a long history of that specific phrase he used involving the president of the United States."
Racist rants are not new to Nugent, he is a left over hippie who preyed on underage teenage girls for whom he obviously had no respect. Likewise he has no respect for even the most accomplished people of color.

to achieve calmness
Very nice and peaceful feel to the picture however there are a few things I can point out in order to help you get a better photo next time. One the framing of the picture also known as the cropping on the top is right in the middle of two trees. You never want to really cut something in half like that because it ruins the lines of the photo. I know the water was the main focus and I understand you wanted to get the main body of water more then anything. That's fine but you have to be careful that you don't get so focused on the main subject of the photo that it causes you to miss whats going on around the main subject. For this photo all you had to do was back up one or two steps and it would change a good photo to a great photo. If you have an editing program like adobe lightroom I would recommend increasing the vibrancy and clarity levels this would give more detail in the blades of grass and make the photo look cleaner. You did a good job keep up the good work and keep shooting just watch out for getting that photographers version of tunnel vision. Always check the borders of the photo before shooting.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
2 out of 2 deviants thought this was fair.

"He's been spending late nights at her condo," explains a so-called "insider" for the tabloid.
Um, if this seems to come from out of nowhere, that's because it does.
"This is untrue," a source close to Greene tells Gossip Cop.

You must have nipped in Pam whilst I was giving the secret way-it is a fly screen to replace the coloured flappy thing we have now that dosen't put the flies off one bit-this one is a bit snazzier and have just had the "we have shipped e-mail" -or as we in the UK like to call it the "we have sent it e-mail"
I am all shopped out
Anyway how are things out West?
Just picked up 3 of these for 40p each from a local shop - thought I would give them a try as some thing different
My experience many years ago of venus fly traps is not good-probably playing with the traps is not what you are supposed to do.
These 3 are the small pitcher type and seem to be growing just in moss and in 2 inch pots-I know you are supposed to use rain water and keep them moist-has anybody got any other tips like repotting at any time?
They are going to be kept indoors.
As part of my war on terror or what some people call flies-I have bought three pitcher plants that I spotted for 40p each just now and a insect screen from Amazon-this must end.
Anybody any tips on pitcher plants?
Glad you had a nice day out Flower-I love the way you say you went to Germany as in the same way we say we go to Sainsbury's
When they get to about 4/5 inches-if you don't pick they just keep getting bigger and that slows down production
I don't think it is vital- I had one of those given to me a few year ago -just attached it at a fence panel 4 foot from the ground-I seem to remember seeing them on GW with TB around the same height.
Nope-things with wings-not Wet Arrows-though am considering a machine gun.
Erisimum now-just pull a shoot away from the plant with a bit of a heel attached, trim and pop in some compost-cover with a plastic bag and they root in about 3 weeks-I found they rooted quicker that way than in the normal cutting way
They are completly hardy.
To prolong flowering remove the dying stems.
Nope-but it is for something that has been annoying me-that limits it
Ah the bin-day
We have a dry day apparently today and there is a bit of sun.
Have just bought something through Amazon-anybody want to guess what it is?
Hot threads- lots of viewings or recent answers- also a range of Chinese restaurants in Manchester

Rosenhaus points out how lockout cripples Dolphins
Drew Rosenhaus represents more NFL players than any other agent. Rven though he has an impressive clients on all 32 teams those in South Florida know where his heart resides.
This University of Miami alum holds the Miami Dolphins in a very special place, and always will, no matter what his business involvement is with the team.
That's part of the reason it was EXTREMELY troubling to listen to Rosenhaus talk to WQAM's Joe Rose about the NFL lockout. In their weekly Wednesday discussion, Rosenhaus, who represents eight players on last year's Dolphins squad, pointed out how destructive the present lockout can – and likely will be – to every NFL team, especially the 2011 Dolphins.
Hearing all his VALID points made me conclude this lockout has the potential to become more destructive to this franchise – at this time – than any other team in the NFL.
Listen to the discussion for yourself (by clicking on this link) and tell me if you agree, or disagree.
Maybe we're too close to the situation, but a prolonged lockout seems crippling based on the portrait Rosenhaus just painted.
Thing about it….
The Dolphins are usually one of the more aggressive teams in free agency, which has been frozen.
The Dolphins need to install a new offense and can't because players aren't allowed to have contact with their coaches (the Dolphins have already been fined for trying).
The Dolphins are looking for a quarterback to replace Chad Henne and can't do it through free agency or a trade. That puts General Manager Jeff Ireland in the tough spot come the draft.
The Dolphins are looking to restock it's backfield and rebuild the offensive line and can't do it through free agency, their usual route to enhance the roster. This could handcuff the team's approach in this months' draft.
"If you are a Dolphins fan right now how much does it bother you that Chad Henne can't work with Brian Daboll, the new offensive coordinator? How much does it brother you that you can't re-sign your important free agents? How much does it bother you that Mike Nolan can't work with his young studs on defense? How much does it bother you that they just committed over $10 million to Paul Soliai but you can't have him join your workout? How about the injured players (Jake Long, and Vernon Carey) that can't workout at your facility," Rosenhaus said. "This is awful for the Dolphins! You have a bunch of new coaches. You have a new running backs coach. Your top two running backs are free agents. How do you get better if you're the Miami Dolphins?
"Then you've got the draft, where you can't trade any players. You can't go out and trade for a player like you did Brandon Marshall (last year). You can't go out and sign a Karlos Dansby. You can't even sign an updrafted free agent (like how Ireland found a Davone Bess, Roberto Wallace, Marlon Moore or Jonathon Amaya) after the draft. Then, after you draft a player you can't even bring that rookie in to workout. How much of an impact are you going to get from your first-round pick this year if he can't come and workout this offseason? I'll tell you, not much."
I personally knew all these issues, but when you put them ALL together like that it becomes pretty depressing.
Rosenhaus reiterates that the players, which are represented by the now decertified NFLPA, don't want anything more than the 50-50 split they presently receive. However, he points out this lockout and labor dispute isn't about present money, it's about the future money the NFL will earn when the next TV deal is negotiated.
The NFL thrived during a recession. Imagine what happens when the economy recovers. Rosenhaus said the owners don't want to share the league's future growth with the workforce, and that's what this labor dispute is about.
"Is it more important to the NFL owners, guys like Steve Ross, to win, or to maximize his profits?" Rosenhaus asked. " When do the owners say 'Hey, we've locked our guys out, our game is taking a step back, we're not getting better. Do we really want to alienate fans? The games doing great'….When does winning take precedence over maximizing a labor deal."
Rosenhaus talks about a number of topics, including Henne and HGH testing so you'd benefit from listing to the interview for yourself.
So, do you think the hotseat Dolphins are facing more of a competitive disadvantage created by the lockout than other NFL teams?

The Wright Brother's achievement of manned, powered, heavier-than-air flight in 1903 and their later successes, described in 1908 issues of Scientific American,1,2 provided the spark to ignite enthusiasm for aeronautics in faculty members and students of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (API). Located in the small town of Auburn, Alabama, API would soon be intimately connected with flight and flying machines. Even before the Wright Brothers' great accomplishments, some independent researchers in Alabama were serious about the subject of aeronautics. In 1874, Lewis Archer Boswell, a physician from Eastaboga, near Talladega, Alabama, patented an "Improvement in the Aerial Propeller-Wheels." Boswell continued to be actively interested in aeronautics until his death in 1909.
At least one Scientific American article about the Wright Brothers' historic flight was reprinted in the API student newspaper, the Orange and Blue, and a paper on aeronautics was presented at a meeting of the Engineering Society in 1908. In an interview some eighty years later, Robert Knapp, an API alumnus and later a U. S. Air Force General, (See Fig. 1.) claimed that the Wright Brothers had visited Auburn in 1907, stayed in his home (he was very young at the time), and met with engineering professors John J. Wilmore and M. Thomas Fullan. Knapp said the professors worked with the Wrights to redesign their aircraft so that it could be disassembled and transported in a wagon.
Knapp's memories could not be verified. However, it is well documented that the Wright Brothers visited Alabama in 1910 in search of a site for a winter flying school. They found one near Montgomery, went back to get their airplane and returned to conduct instruction for three months later that year. In the fall of 1910, the Opelika Daily News (Opelika is a town adjoining Auburn) contained an announcement of instruction at API on "aeronautic construction and the principals [sic] of aviation," as part of a class in kinematics of machinery. Professor Fullan gave lectures on aviation around the state, and there were many "air minded" students and faculty on campus.
Just prior to the United States' involvement in World War I, a Reserve Officers Training Corps was formed at API. Service in World War I interrupted the studies of many API students and the lives of many alumni. According to Ref. 4, at least fifty students served in the army or navy air corps. During the war and for a while thereafter, a unit of the Student Army Training Corps provided training for around 1,700 students and funds for a shop and laboratory. After the war, the land used by the Wright Brothers for their flying school was the site for Maxwell Field. Robert Knapp, then a Lieutenant in the U. S. Army stationed at Maxwell Field in Montgomery, Alabama, helped encourage the interest of students in aeronautics. Knapp flew to and from Auburn to visit his brother and landed in a pasture owned by W. W. Webb, a veterinarian who had built two runways for his own airplane. Capt. Asa Duncan and Lt. Knapp flew sections of the first airmail route through Alabama in 1925. The student newspaper, the Auburn Plainsman, the alumni association's Auburn Alumnews and The Auburn Engineer, a School of Engineering publication, contain many articles on aeronautics during the period 1925-30. A visit by Charles Lindbergh to Birmingham in 1927 added to the considerable interest in aeronautics at API.

Paul Bley: When Will the Blues Leave
When Will the Blues Leave
Paul Bley (piano)
With Gary Peacock (ECM 843162)
Paul Bley (piano), Gary Peacock (bass), Paul Motian (drums).
Composed by Ornette Coleman.
Recorded: New York, April 13, 1963
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Paul Bley spent the mid-1960s making some of jazz's most fascinating choices. He performed with Jimmy Giuffre in a free-jazz trio, added additional layers of complexity to Sonny Rollins's "free period" and, perhaps most influentially, led this indefinable jazz trio with Peacock and Motian that is gradually receiving the acclaim it deserves. Far from traditional yet not completely free, Bley's dichotomous usage of structure and freedom form an undeniable link between the traditional mastery of Bill Evans and the modern prodigious talents of Jarrett, Mehldau, and Iverson. The piano solo on this track is fundamental Bley – complex ideas made (more) accessible through his unhurried execution. Peacock and Motian move together as a single unit propelled by Motian's playful, melodic punches.

90-year-old man killed in Lake Worth wreck
A 90-year-old man was killed and another person was hurt when a vehicle crashed Monday at Superior Automotive on Lake Worth Road.
According to a Palm Beach County sheriff's report, a 2007 Honda Accord, driven by Constance Demarco, 88, of Lake Worth, was exiting a shopping center that was located on the east side of Detroit St.
As the vehicle approached a stop sign to exit onto Detroit Street, it started to speed up, instead of braking.
The car crossed Detroit Street and entered onto the property on the west side of the road.
The vehicle drove onto the driveway of a Superior Automotive garage where there were several vehicle lifts in front of the business.
A second vehicle, a 2014 Ford Explorer, was on a lift that was elevated approximately 4 feet off the ground and there was a mechanic under the SUV.
The mechanic was able to see Accord approaching and was able to get out of the way.
The Accord continued up the drive and drove under Explorer.
The Accord continued under the lift and struck another vehicle that was parked in the garage.
The vehicle was pushed forward striking a large tool box, which was pushed through the concrete block wall. The occupants of the Accord were transported to Delray Medical Center where the passenger, Francisco Demarco, died. The case is under investigation.

|Volunteer Coach - Sprints, Hurdles
|Alma Mater:
|Long Beach State '73
|29 Years
Bob Kersee enters his 28th year as a member of the women's track and field coaching staff. For the past 15 years, Kersee has served in a volunteer capacity, working with the hurdlers and heptathletes, event areas which have seen incredible success under his guidance.
Kersee is one of the premier sprints and hurdles coaches in the world and has guided numerous athletes to Olympic, World, U.S. and NCAA titles. In 2008, Kersee coached former Bruin Dawn Harper to a gold in the 100m hurdles. He also coached Allyson Felix to a silver medal in the 200m and a gold in the 4x400m, and Shawn Crawford to a silver in the men's 200m and Kerron Clement to a silver in the men's 400m hurdles at the Beijing Games. He also helped coach the U.S. 4x400m relay team to gold.
In collegiate track, Kersee coached Nicole Leach to a runner-up finish in the intermediate hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. This season, he will work with Leach and the other Bruin hurdlers, along with NCAA long jump champion Rhonda Watkins, heralded freshman heptathlete and hurdler Ryann Krais and Hillary Werth in the heptathlon.
In 2007, Kersee helped sophomore Leach win her first NCAA title in the intermediate hurdles, and also coached former Bruin Michelle Perry to her second World 100m hurdles crown during the summer of 2007.
Perry, a former heptathlete, stepped away from the multi-event competition after the 2004 Olympics to focus on the high hurdles and has gone on to earn two World titles and three straight No. 1 world rankings with Kersee as her coach.
Former USC Trojan and NCAA champion Ginny Powell began training with Kersee after ending her career at USC and was a World Championship finalist in the hurdles in 2007 (5th).
Widely regarded as one of the world's premier track and field coaches, Kersee was honored as the 2005 USATF Nike Coach of the Year after two of his athletes won gold at the World Championships in Helsinki, Finland - Michelle Perry (100mH) and Allyson Felix (200m).
Kersee also coaches former Bruin Joanna Hayes, who won the Gold Medal in the 100m hurdles (12.37, Olympic record) at the Athens Olympics and was the No. 1 ranked high hurdler in the World in 2004.
Along with his wife, Jackie Joyner, Kersee also coached Gail Devers to several Olympic and World Championship medal performances. Devers was the top-ranked high hurdler in the world on several occasions, along with Jackie Joyner-Kersee.
Valerie Brisco, Gail Devers, Greg Foster and Andre Phillips are other top Kersee-coached athletes who won numerous gold and silver medals at the XXIIIrd Olympiad in Los Angeles and then in Seoul. Devers also had outstanding Olympic performances in Atlanta in 1996 and Barcelona in 1992. In Atlanta, Devers won the gold medal in the 100m for the second consecutive Olympics (making her the fourth straight Bruin to win that event; Florence Griffith Joyner in 1988 and Evelyn Ashford in 1984) and won another gold, running the second leg on the victorious U. S. 4x100m relay.
Kersee's niece, Darnesha Griffith became only the fifth woman in NCAA history to win the high jump at both the 2002 NCAA Indoor (6-0.75) and Outdoor (6-0) championships (in the same season) and was ranked No. 5 in the U. S.
Kersee completed his ninth season as head coach at UCLA in 1993 by winning the Pacific-10 title and placing third at the NCAA Outdoor. Five of his last seven teams won the conference crown. In addition, eight of his last nine Bruin squads recorded Top-7 NCAA finishes, including a runner-up result in three of the last six campaigns and a third-place finish in 1993.
Kersee first came to UCLA in 1980 after leading Cal State Northridge to consecutive Division I national championships in 1978 and 1979. He served as assistant coach to Scott Chisam at UCLA from 1980-83, during which time he guided sprinters Florence Griffith, LaShon Nedd, Sherri Howard, Arlise Emerson and Bolden to NCAA honors.
Prior to his experience at CSUN, Kersee coached women's AAU clubs, including the South Bay Striders, Blue Angels Track Club and the L.A. Naturite Track Club.
Kersee has also been selected for various national team coaching assignments. At the 2005 World T&F Championships, he served as a U.S. Women's Team Coach/Administrator. In 1985, he served as the sprint coach for the U.S. Olympic Festival West team and served in a similar capacity at the 1987 Pan Am Games.
A 1978 graduate of Long Beach State, he helped coach the women's team while earning a degree in physical education. Prior to attending Long Beach State, Kersee competed for Harbor Junior College. In 1976, he was a finalist in the hurdles at the state junior college meet while helping lead Harbor to the Southern California championship. Following his graduation from Long Beach, Kersee began work toward a master's degree in exercise physiology at CSUN.
Born in the Canal Zone, Panama, Kersee is a graduate of San Pedro HS, where he was a standout track athlete. Kersee married Jackie Joyner in January 1986, and is the president of the Board of Directors of the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Boys and Girls Club of East St. Louis, IL.

Mintage: 2,020,000
Obverse Dies: 4 Known
Four obverse dies and potentially five reverse dies have been identified for 1842 New Orleans coinage. The key diagnostic point for Obverse 4 is the die gouge to the left of Liberty's index finger. Tim Cook pointed out the possibility of using this die gouge as an attribution point around 1998. The date placement on Obverse 4 is very similar to Obverse 3, so the die gouge marker is very useful and recommended given the additional die states of this obverse die. Obverse 4 also exhibits a large die blob defect in the right field between Liberty's knee and Star 12. Reverse E features a Medium O mintmark that is positioned right and high. Faint die cracks are just beginning to emerge on the plate coin. I have seen another earlier die state example with no reverse cracks. Both the obverse and reverse are well struck during this die state, unfortunately this does not last long as the dies are polished and subsequently degrade.
Plate Coin: Fortin 105, Medium O, Even Silver Gray Obverse With Light Rose Reverse Toning, Second Finest Graded at PCGS, Well Struck for 1842 O Mint
Heritage 8/2010:3082 (as PCGS MS65 12841405), $25,300

Church Upskirts Site Facts
Church Upskirts Review
Freetour offers: The Church Upskirts tour really is quite bland. One of the good things about it is the updates list at the top, where you see just how often this website gets updated. Expect about 25 new pics every week. Every Sunday, actually. Sheesh, he doesn't wait long to get the new stuff online, does he? I wonder how long after the Sunday service it is until he's busy uploading his new exploits? ;)
General impression: When I first arrived at Church Upskirts, my first thought was simply No Way! Yes way! Someone actually had the balls to go ahead and get upskirt shots from within a church. It would be unbelievable if it weren't for all the pictures and videos inside the member's area. This website really pushes boundaries! Oh, and you'll be amazed to see some girls who don't think it's necessary to wear panties to church. Gotta find me a girl like that!
Bravo's opinion: Upskirt pornography is already thought to be quite obscene by a lot of people. They think it's an invasion of privacy. Some people think it should be criminal. I can't wait to see the looks on those peoples' faces when they see Church Upskirts. Depending on your point of view, Church Upskirts is a new high, or low, for upskirt pornography. In this reviewer's eyes, it's certainly a new high.
There aren't many videos, but there's a new one being added every month. What's there is good quality stuff, though. But personally, I prefer photographic upskirts. You'll find over 1500 upskirt pictures at Church Upskirts. And believe me, you'll see some interesting things. Who'd have thought that these church going girls would be wearing sexy panties and thongs to church under their skirts? Aren't these supposed to be good Christian girls? And you wouldn't believe it if you didn't get to see the pictures yourself, but yes, some even wear none! Bare asses and pussies with nothing but a short skirt hiding things. I wonder if the priest has ever caught a glimpse while these girls cross their legs. ;)
Not all the pics are taken in church. You'll find some from church events and socials also. And there's some extra church related fun thrown in there to give you some extra value for money. They've got girls getting bored of reading the bible, stripping and masturbating. They've got naughty nuns that just can't take it any more and need to get off. Hidden cameras catching brides to be as they get changed into their wedding dresses. Oddly enough, there's even some spring break photos shown in there. Hey, don't ask me. I'm as confused as you are!
Due to the nature of the pictures, upskirt content can never really achieve the same kind of quality as pictures produced inside a porn studio, but the guys at Church Upskirt do an excellent job nonetheless. I think the pictures have come out as good as they possibly could. They're certainly better than a lot of the upskirt stuff I've seen out there.
What I really like about the member's area is how easy it is to navigate. Everything is layed out quite simply and you won't have any problems finding what you're after.

On it's own, for upskirt fanatics, this is a decent website. It's an interesting twist on an already very naughty niche. However, I don't think the amount of content quite justifies the price unless you're really into upskirt porn. But there's a special deal that makes this website very worthwhile. Church Upskirts is a part of the Lightspeed Network. What this means is that if you pay an extra 10 dollars per month, you'll receive access to Church Upskirts and 9 of their other websites including Upskirt Sniper, Cum Filled Panties, Reel 18 and all of their solo amateur teens. Girls such as Jordan Capri, Tawnee Stone and Taylor Little. You can find a full list of the websites accessible under this deal at the bottom of the tour page near the signup form. There's a total of 28 websites to choose from. And the best thing is that you can change the 10 sites you receive access to each month. That means that over a 3 month period, for the price of 3 monthly memberships and an extra 10 dollars per month, you could access the entire 28 website portfolio. That's a pretty kickass deal if you ask me.
Another excellent feature about the website is that you receive access to the Lightspeed community forums. There, you can interact with Lightspeed models such as Jordan Capri and talk to the Lightspeed crew about their websites.
So there you have it. Church Upskirts is certainly a unique website with an interesting twist. Definitely one for you upskirt fans out there. It's a very interesting twist on the niche. And I'd have to say it's worth checking out by the rest of you guys out there if you're curious, especially if it were coupled with the multi-site membership.
