Hot Helmet For Football Players
TYRONE, Ga. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- It's football season and for players, that means long, exhausting practices, lots of contact, and sometimes injuries. But not all those injuries will happen because of a tackle or a hit. Since 1995, 39 football players -- mostly high schoolers -- have died from overheating. Hundreds more have suffered serious medical problems. Now, a new kind of football helmet could help players stay safe.
Beware of Flash Floods
BOULDER, Colo. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Flooding is one of the deadliest types of natural disasters humans face. Why? Most people underestimate the power of nature. Many drivers are willing to risk their lives on flooded roads, but now the government is trying to put a stop to that by getting the message across to "Turn around. Don't drown."
Which Days Will Storms Strike?
GREENBELT, Md. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Worried about planning a weekend getaway, picnic or party, only to have it get rained out? Scientists can now tell you which days of the week are the best party-planning days.
Bed Bug-Sniffing Dogs
MATTAPOISETTA, Mass. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Good night, sleep tight and don't let the bedbugs bite. It appears that is easier said than done. The latest national statistics show a 71 percent increase in activity among the blood-sucking parasites, but now man's best friend is helping to sniff out the infestations.
Stem Cells Save Animals
DAVIS, Calif. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- They're our companions, helpers and exercise partners -- but when our animals struggle to jump and even get up, it may be their way of telling you their joints are wearing out. Traditionally, joint injuries meant a low quality of life or euthanasia -- but advances in veterinary medicine are making it possible to heal arthritis, tendinitis and even broken bones
with their own cells. Human science is helping animals and may come back around to help us, too.
Giant Squid - Behind the Scenes
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- The giant squid lives deep in the ocean. Scientists want to learn more about these elusive creatures, but few have been seen or caught. Science is helping preserve the rare deep sea creature forever.
Super Mileage Cars
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Cars on the road today are getting better gas mileage than ever, but the future looks even brighter. In one super-mileage car competition, cars from all over the world are breaking fuel economy records.
Blood Test Predicts Strokes
BOSTON (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Every 40 seconds someone in the United States suffers a stroke. Every 26 seconds, someone suffers a heart attack. More than half of those people had no prior warning signs, but a new blood test is helping doctors diagnose those who may have hidden risks.
Catching Cataracts Early
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Cataracts cause blurring of the eye's lens, and if not caught early enough, can lead to blindness. Now there's a new simple, early detection device to save your sight.
Frying Foods without Oil
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Just about anything tastes good fried. French fries, deep fried Oreos, fried ice cream or deep fried cheese
they're all tasty, and all laden with grease, fat and calories. Now there's a new technology that makes tasty fried food without extra oil.
Science of Surfing
LA JOLLA, Calif. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Just a few more weeks to enjoy the warm weather
and some schools are taking advantage of their students' love for the beach -- to give them a little lesson in physics. Some students are getting more than they bargained for.
Got (Video) Game?
ATLANTA (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Do you got game? Two out of three people have picked up a controller in the past six months. In fact, more people are gaming than going to the movies. But games could turn your hobby into a moneymaker.

Administrative Publication No. (AP-041) 35 pp, December 2009
Cover image for AP041 Changes in the American public's food consumption and purchases in recent decades, together with advances in medical knowledge of dietary effects on health, have heightened awareness of the importance of understanding what people eat and where and why they eat it. Most U.S. consumers have diets that do not meet dietary guidelines' recommendations, and rates of obesity and overweight are rising for all consumers. American food markets are dynamic in offering new products and retail outlets to consumers, changing the food choices available. At the same time, food firms have been challenged by food safety recalls, adverse consumer reactions to new technologies, and increasing mandates for nutritional quality and information.

Small Farm Center Agricultural Tourism Project
Agricultural tourism, or agri-tourism, is one alternative for improving the incomes and potential economic viability of small farms and rural communities. The Small Farm Program at the University of California at Davis presents this website as an introduction to agri-tourism and as a resource that will allow those involved to develop organizations of growers, marketers, and community representatives to formulate visions, develop strategies, and begin to develop agri-tourism enterprises to add value to agriculture and rural products, and to create markets for them.
Direct Farm Marketing and Tourism Handbook
This website contains the Direct Farm Marketing and Tourism Handbook by Tronstad & Leones (1995) published by the Department of Agriculture and Resource Economics, Cooperative Extension, The University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. This manual is intended to help farm and ranch operators and other individuals who grow or process food products market their products and services directly to the consumer. It is one way of "adding value" to agriculture before products leave the farm. Some forms of direct marketing are integrally linked with tourism in the local community. This manual also explains these connections and provides information on how to enhance sales and other related tourism activities and services.
Considerations for Agritourism Development
Considerations for Agritourism Development, by Kuehn, Hilchey, Ververs, Dunn, & Lehman (1998, Ithaca, NY: Cornell Cooperative Extension, Cornell University) is a publication designed for community leaders, rural economic development and tourism professionals, and agritourism entrepreneurs. It focuses on the three main components of agritourism development: small businesses, agricultural events, and regional agritourism initiatives. Considerations for each of these components are discussed, along with case studies that expand on these considerations. Additional resources on agritourism are also identified.
Agritourism in the U.S.
The development and expansion of the agritourism industry in the U.S. offers opportunities for many farmers and ranchers. The University of Vermont led this project in collaboration with specialists from Utah State University and the University of Wisconsin, to research agritourism across the U.S. and provide up-dated, web-based information and materials to assist ag-operators in agritourism ventures. In response to needs identified by farmers and ranchers throughout the U.S., seven agritourism checklists and fact sheets were developed:
- Risk Management and Liability in Agritourism
- Successes and Challenges in Agritourism
- Zoning and Health Considerations in Agritourism
- Best Management Practices in Agritourism
- Agritourism Associations and Networks
- Agritourism Marketing
- Online Agritourism Resources
Agricultural Marketing Resource Center--Agritourism The Agricultural Marketing Resource Center is an electronic, national resource for producers interested in value-added agriculture. As value-added agriculture, Agritourism is defined as visiting a working farm, ranch, or any agricultural, horticultural or agribusiness operation to enjoy, learn about, and be involved in agricultural activities.

Tradition says dinner accompanied by flowers, candy and a card are the right and safe way to go. Every year millions of articles tell us about the new restaurants, perfect gifts and creative ideas to make this Valentine Day count. This year, I am asking you to think for one minute what you and your loved one have been dying to do for a long time. Do not buy into the social pressure of a nice meal, an expensive piece of jewelry or an exotic getaway unless that's what you really want.
I don't know about you, but I have an extensive list of activities, ideas and plans scheduled for this 2014 and Valentine's Day seems like the perfect occasion to make one of those come true.
There are concerts, classes, events and more on my list. Most of them include my partner, so why don't you sit down with him and compare notes? (He or she has ideas too you know?)There might be a fun plan hidden in there; one that might end up being very romantic.
It doesn't have to be a plan per se. It might be something you've wanted to buy forever. Maybe you both want a new car with working AC, maybe you finally decided this year you will go skydiving together, maybe you want to get your own Karaoke system to host parties at home; who knows?
This year, have an honest conversation with your beau and decide together. Don't leave him or her with all the work. Use your time and money wisely. That does not mean that you can't give them a card and a chocolate if you feel like it. Do what feels right and enjoy the day.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Albuquerque attracts its fair share of international touring bands to spice up the local music scene, but any music fan who has lived here for a while knows that sometimes you have to hit the road yourself to see some of your favorite acts. With Vegas a short direct flight away (or a long, but still manageable drive), you don't ever have to miss that band you've been dying to see live. Tours rarely miss a chance to play sin city. This week it was Matt Nathanson and Kelly Clarkson at The Pearl in Las Vegas, NV, and their performances were well worth the trip.
Fans of Matt Nathanson have a lot to be thankful for these days. A new album that finally rivals Matt's 2007 album Some Mad Hope feauring the platinum hit Come on Get Higher, the All Night Noise headlining tour that wraps up tonight in Anaheim, CA, touring in support of Kelly Clarkson and Train, and an appearance as a musical guest on a recent episode of Dancing with the Stars, are just a few of the singer-songwriter's recent accomplishments. With three singles out so far from his Modern Love album, which was released by Vanguard Records in June, 2011, Matt is giving fans what they want most: new music that brings them back to the feeling they had when they first heard Come on Get Higher and became lifelong fans.
Like Matt's on-stage persona, Modern Love is a superbly-moving yet also funny and lighthearted take on love and relationships. Those fans who haven't had the opportunity to see Matt live may be surprised to hear how funny he is between songs. Performing to an all-ages crowd, most of whom had come to see Kelly Clarkson, Matt introduced his more romantic songs as being about "the adults playing Scrabble…all night long." While this euphemism kept the adults in the crowd laughing, this was still Vegas, and Matt didn't hold back much. Whether he was making sure everyone knew that his nipple was erect, or introducing himself as Kelly Clarkson's "fluffer," Matt made sure to balance the romance with a healthy dose of humor.
Matt performed Run, Faster, and Room at the End of the World, from Modern Love, as well as some older songs including Wedding Dress and, of course, Come on Get Higher, leaving this fan sufficiently "fluffed." Hopefully as Matt continues to earn recognition for his latest album, he'll see fit to visit Albuquerque on a headlining tour in the near future. Until then, local music fans can find him in cities nearby, or on the radio.

A new line of smoothies has arrived to Smoothie King: Veggie Blends. This seems like the perfect option for those picky eaters who want to get their daily veggie intake or for the busy-bees. Do they taste any good though? And just how healthy are these smoothies? Smoothie King recently sent me a gift card to go check out their latest smoothie additions.
The Veggie Blend smoothies are Apple Kiwi Kale, Berry Carrot Dream, and Carrot Kale Dream. I decided to try both the Apple Kiwi Kale and the Carrot Kale Dream.
Carrot Kale Dream nutritional facts: the ingredients include carrots, kale, bananas, orange juice, apple juice, and vanilla protein blend. Calories are 222, Saturated fat is zero, sugar is 40g, and protein is 4g. Described by Smoothie King as "A mighty full serving of veggies plus our Slim & Trim Vanilla Protein Blend for a strong body with fearless immunity."
The Carrot Kale Dream taste mostly like bananas, it is almost the only recognizable flavor. This should take the fear away of anyone who is hesitant to trying veggies. While the vegetables are not fresh, they aren't artificial, so that's a plus. The kale (and almost all veggies and fruits) are pureed and frozen to last longer.
Apple Kiwi Kale nutritional facts: the ingredients include kale, apple juice, kiwi juice blend, bananas, and electrolyte mix. Calories is 277, saturated fat is zero, sugar is 62g (yikes!), and protein is 1g. Desbried by Smoothie King as "Deliciously defending your immune system with tangy Vitamin C and free-radical fighting antioxidants. Go Green!"
The Apple Kiwi Kale is very sweet, and again the presence of kale is undetected. Because it's so sweet, I have to say this one is my favorite!
Super nutritious? Not compared to a fresh smoothie we can make at home, but it sure beats chocolate milk and a donut, or any fast food place we often stop by for a quick bite. Check out any of these three new smoothies, even veggie haters might fall in love!

Max Roach: Garvey's Ghost
Garvey's Ghost
Max Roach (drums)
Percussion Bitter Sweet (Universal Music Special Markets, B0012607-01)
Max Roach (drums), Clifford Jordan (tenor sax), Booker Little (trumpet), Eric Dolphy (alto sax, flute), Abbey Lincoln (vocals), Julian Priester (trombone), Mal Waldron (piano), Art Davis (bass),
Carlos Valdez (congas); Carlos Eugenio (cowbell).
Max Roach (composer).
Recorded: New York, August 1, 1961
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
This is one of my favorite cuts of music of all time. It's another example of how the title really speaks to what's happening in the music. This references Marcus Garvey, the great Pan-Africanist in the States during the late '10s and '20s, 'who died in England in 1940, mistreated, and his organization decentralized by the same tactics used against the Black Panthers some years later. The piece references that history, talking about self-determination, but then it also has a haunting, ghostly quality—the melody is so powerful, as is the fact that Abbey doesn't sing any words.
Max wrote the song. The solos by Booker Little and Clifford Jordan are straight fire! Then again, we see that juxtaposition of rhythms against each other, because he has Patato playing the congas and Carlos Eugenio playing the cowbell—Max is kind of playing in 6 but also in 3, in the way he's swinging, and keeps that pattern almost all throughout the piece. But the way he comps, pushes Booker Little and Clifford Jordan through their solos---he sustains that ride cymbal pattern the whole time, along with the other percussion---is reminiscent of one of his solos. But everybody has a certain freedom within what they're doing. Even the cowbell's cascara pattern is not fixed. Max's ride cymbal pattern is, but the other shit he's playing completely is not. It's not like any traditional comping. It's like collective improvisation. Then he solos over that cascara and the congas, and, as he often does, he utilizes a lot of space. He always plays something and then leaves some space, and then plays something else and leaves some space. He calls, he answers, he answers, and then he leaves some space. He always used to say that there's always room. "Get to your shit quick, make a statement, and in making that statement, the things that you don't play are just as important as the things you do." That always seemed to be a theme for him, and he utilized it in every component of his career. Always some space for others.
That's the way it seems he led his life in aligning himself with different people, like the record with Hassan Ibn Ali, where he gave him the opportunity to present his original music and placed "the legendary Hassan" on the title. That was Hassan's only recording except for one by Odean Pope that I don't think was ever released. Or the fact that he aligned himself with Clifford Brown and said, "Let's lead the band together." I don't know if he really had to do that. Also the different duo situations. Always on the cusp, but then also, in a sense, very selfless. To be as prolific as was he had to have a strong sense of self---as I know he did, because I was around him. That strong sense of self allowed him to let other people shine as well. It was never, "No, it has to be me, and you can't do your thing." It was "come on and do your thing." This is a perfect example. It's not like he has to growl over the whole thing. He leaves some space, and then he'll talk to one of the cats, and communicate. Everybody's listening. This is a year after We Insist, and Max was still on the same path. There's tunes like "Man From South Africa," in 7/4. He's still making that commentary. He's still on the soapbox, because it's important and it's still current, still developing in America.
In 1990 or 1991, I remember doing a Sacred Drums tour with Max here in America, one of my very first gigs out of town. Tito Puente was on it, and some of these Native American drummers, some koto, things like that. Max was playing with Mario Bauzá, who had a small orchestra. He was doing multiple things as well as solo stuff, playing with the small band, and this was one of the other portions of the show. Patato was in the band, too. During one of the rehearsals the piano player came up with some arrangements for Max to read, and he called over to me—I was there as a stagehand, his P.A., setting up the cymbals and stuff like that. He was just trying to put some money in my pocket and help me out. Max said, "come here, man. Play this." So he got me down to play the show, and got me my first traveling gig—with Mario Bauzá! I had no idea then who he was. I didn't know what I was doing with clave and so on. I remember Patato looking at me like, "You don't know what the fuck you're doing." The other cats in the band were very encouraging, but Patato didn't want to give it up. Which I understood, though, because I didn't know what I was doing. Some years later, I did a recording with him and Michael Marcus and Rahn Burton, and he was cool—maybe I had gotten a few things together. He tuned my snare drum, tightened it in a certain way, and that snare drum still sounds great to this day. He showed me how to tune the bottom a little tighter than the top. He had that pitch. That snare drum was singing for years.

In any application in Unity, the main menu for the application that has focus gives the options of 'file', 'edit', 'view', 'go', bookmarks', 'help', etc. - just like windows does. While this makes sense for anyone who's used a computer for years, it is not very intuitive - especially the first two (file and edit).
I'd like to know if the options in this menu can be re-organised.
For example, 'File' should perhaps be renamed to 'Application', because the sub-menu items like 'New folder' (in Nautilus) and 'Quit' affect the entire application. 'Preferences' and 'About' should be in that menu too by this logic. The 'Edit' menu could be renamed 'File', and have all options that affect whatever item is selected (or whichever tab or document view is opened) in the application, such as 'Copy', 'Paste', and 'Print'. The 'Properties' item should be in that menu as well.

Can someone truly be a Christian as well as bisexual? Anyone else grapple with this thought? I have struggled with it for about a year now. I love God and Jesus and consider myself to be Christian. B u t, I like girls too. Your ideas on this matter would be most aprreciated. Thanks.

It's been a long time since I've been active in the Christian community. I left the church over ten years ago for reasons that had nothing to do with my sexuality but now I'm reluctant to go back because of my sexuality. Coming from a Christian background and then taking it upon myself to study and talk to others of different faiths, I feel that we at times have a narrow sense of God and fashion such an incomprehensible Mystery according to our own liking. I prayed often to have my same sex feelings taken away. I thought that once I got married and being physically intimate with my husband on a regular basis would make it all go away. In reality it only exasperated my true feels. Then one day I finally got honest with myself and with God. In a prayer I said "Lord I don't understand this and I don't know why I'm like this but I trust that You do and all I can do is accept it and try to grow in my understanding of it all. God, I'm bisexual." It's strange how at that point I just felt at peace. I realized that it's not God who condemns us, it's our own conscious and others. Through prayer and introspection I learned that I'm still a good person. Being bisexual doesn't make me "evil". It doesn't make me immoral. Actually, I'm more aware of my intentions and feelings now in regards to women and sex than I ever was in my relationships with men. And I think that's where you have to really pay attention. People only look at the surface material of a person. God sees into our hearts. In love if your intentions and feelings are true and good and your expressions of that love doesn't led to any pain or anguish within yourself or others, than the sex of the person you love shouldn't matter. It's the spirit in which we love that matters the most. That's what I've learned from God. People on the other hand may tell you differently but ultimately you will have to make the decisions that will bring you the most peace.
I hope that helped a little.

My personal opinion (as someone who identifies as queer and atheist but that has spent a lot of time considering christianity) is that christianity and any form of non hetrosexual within a marriage sexual activity is incompatible. That is to say identifying as bisexual is not problematic, but acting upon same sex sexual desires would be.

Even more difficult for me coming from Roman Catholic tradition (yet we all know the scandals that came from that as well), I have struggled to define myself as a child of God or an aberration brought by some evil I must have done...It is strange these thoughts, and the confusion is something I feel God's enemy (i.e., the devil) revels in. Through our confusion, the devil wishes us to think that our ways are either not of God's and therefore unworthy of His love; the other side may think that the devil wishes us to believe that we are free to be who we are, and that maybe falsely make us to believe God did create us this way.
Many hard core Bible enthusiasts will point out verses from Leviticus or Timothy 2, or Corinthians to show that the word of God condemns these feelings...How much more confusion when people debate who help write the Bible, as being inspired from the Holy Spirit...and then later taught that we are to fear the Holy Spirit.
Is it any wonder why there are increased suicides among us particularly who are afraid to be themselves, thinking they will be condemned eternally...and how much more not knowing the TRUTH of God to die and find out that we could have loved the way we felt in our hearts all along, and yet we were deceived by man's views of what was His true intentions.
Damned if you do; damned if you don't. With this issue I'm constantly at an impasse, and I do believe it has been the core or root to my finally breaking down and being diagnosed as bipolar. The affective disorders, mostly depression, has had its grip on me due to the fact that I feel I have always struggled to fit in...and constantly asked God to take this cross from me...The major question is WHY has He NOT done so yet?...In my heart, do I sincerely wish to change?....Do I honestly think it wrong to love someone even if they are the same sex?....Life i fascinating with the many opportunities it provides...but oh, so many questions do arise just by living out our lives!
God speed to you on your journey for resolution.

I was brought up Baptist, but gave up on Christianity years ago, then went religion shopping for many, many years, finally gave up on them all. I consider myself an ethical Atheist, as there is no proof whatsoever of any gods, nothing supernatural, and religions seem to only cause hatred, death, grief, and millions of support groups for the damage they've done. Beliefs based on words of judgemental old dead guys has caused untold damage to the world. My best advice: Follow your conscience, live your life, and, if there is a God or Gods, they'll judge you based on your heart.
This is NOT an attack on your religion, it is a simple denouncement of ALL religions.

By the way:
53 times in te Bible, by my last count, the Bible states that the laws are unimportant, only the love for God matters to God.

okay. i'm atheist.. but i really don't understand the whole christian bisexual or christian gay thing. it's not an unforgivable sin.. it's just a sin like any other.. eaten shellfish lately? or ever? same diff. if you're christian then you just accept it's a sin.. do it anyway and ask forgiveness, knowing that your god made you this way. ooooor you can just look at it as that whole thing is as outdated as stoning your children or selling them into slavery.

Well, hlks,
the idea of asking for forgivness stems from the desire not to do it again. If this is your lifestyle, then forgivness is, well, incompatable.

I am a strong Christian, I am bisexual, and I believe that those two statements are completely compatible. I am a feminist Christian. My minister is lesbian and has a partner. I do not feel guilty, but more alive! Look, the word homosexual was not even coined until the eighteen hundreds! Do a little more research about all those Bible verses that say that homosexuality is a sin and you'll see that all of those verses are really about something else-social situations going on at that time. They were talking about people who had sex for money-they were NOT talking about loving one another. "What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality" is a good book. Look up the group More Light Presbyterians on the web. There are many ways of looking at Christianity and I will only believe and obey the one that "God is Love" and that incudes ALL of us! You might want to check out my church's website to see what a feminist Christian is like. www.circleofgraceatlanta.org

DO you really think your God would foraske you for acting out in the way he made you?
|View More Posts Ignore
No offense, but all the "proof" that 'god hates homos, bis and anyone not straight' is so stupid.
I do not really believe in God, but if I did, would he really "smite you" just for loving someone??? Doesn't he teach you that love is the best thing? To love and not hate?
Personally I think that book was written mostly by people that were simply scared of sexuality and the fact that it condems it (back then) was meant to encourage people to reproduce...
Sorry for being blunt. But that's my opinion.
Love who you love, not what some book says.

Senior GiOnna DiSalvatore is UCLA's all-time leader in doubles with 63, breaking the record held by Tairia Mims (59) on April 9 against Stanford. She also has the best walk-to-strikeout ratio on the team, having walked (26) 2 1/2 times more than she's struck out (10) ... with two more starts, senior Donna Kerr will have 100 for her career. Kerr has pitched in 11 of the last 13 games and has fanned at least seven in 11 of her 31 appearances this season ... junior Samantha Camuso is day-to-day with a lower body injury. She has started her last four games at second base, the first four of her career, and has hits in four of her last seven contests ... junior Andrea Harrison has hits in nine of her last 12 games, batting .385 during that stretch. Her 18 multiple-hit games are the most on the squad and of her 50 games started, 36 have come in left field and 14 at first base ... freshman Talee Snow leads all Pac-10 players with 11 sacrifice hits. She is one of five regulars to have more walks (15) than strikeouts (10), joining DiSalvatore, Harrison (28/17), junior Dani Yudin (26/15) and freshman Kellie Fox (28/26) ... sophomore Destiny Rodino has started twice in each of the last two weekends. She has won four of her seven career starts, including May 8 against Arizona when she allowed only one run in five-plus innings ... freshman Jessica Hall earned her 16th win of the season on Friday at Oregon. She is looking to become the first Bruin freshman to lead the team in wins since Anjelica Selden in 2005 ... sophomore B.B. Bates hit cleanup for the first two times in her collegiate career on Friday and Saturday at Oregon. She hit a pair of three-run homers last weekend and has doubled her freshman total for long balls with 10 this season ... with her 11th home run on May 6 against Arizona, Fox has the second-most homers by a freshman in a single season at UCLA. She surpassed Julie Adams (1996), Claire Sua (2001) and Emily Zaplatosch (2003), who hit 10 in their first years in Westwood. The UCLA freshman record for homers is 20 by Stacey Nuveman in 1997 ... after 167 straight starts in center field, junior Katie Schroeder made her first collegiate start in right on Saturday at Oregon. She has hits in 22 of her last 29 games, batting .358 during that stretch ... freshman Alyssa Tiumalu is one homer away from joining Fox in double digits after hitting her ninth on May 8 against Arizona. She is currently fourth on the squad in home runs, slugging (.561) and sacrifice hits (4) ... sophomore Devon Lindvall has a four-game hitting streak and belted her second homer in as many weekends on Friday at Oregon. She has made 25 starts at five different positions (13 in LF, 7 at DP, 3 in CF, 1 in RF and 1 at 1B) ... junior Dani Yudin left Thursday's game at Oregon after getting hit by a pitch in the neck, suffering a concussion. She is day-to-day and has hits in 10 of her last 15 contests ... Kelly Inouye-Perez earned her 200th-career victory on March 11 against Sacramento State and is 216-66 as the head coach ... with five runs and a loss on Thursday at Oregon, the Bruins fell for the first time this year when scoring five runs or more in a game. UCLA is now 26-1 this season when posting at least five runs. On the flip side, the Bruins are 0-13 when being held to two runs or fewer ... UCLA is 27-2 when holding its opponent to three or fewer runs, with the only losses coming to Arizona State (April 16) and California (May 1) ... the Bruins are 23-2 this season when scoring in their first at-bat and 44-3 over the last two years ... UCLA has posted 11 mercy-rule wins, seven shutouts and 13 comeback victories ... the Bruins are 20-1 when leading after five innings (19-1 when leading after six), with the only loss coming to Washington on April 23 ... UCLA is 19-1 when hitting two homers or more in a game (only loss April 23 vs. Washington) ... 122 of the Bruins' 280 runs have been scored via the home run (43.6 percent of their runs) ... UCLA has three or four homers in a game 10 times this season ... the Bruins have five grand slams (Fox and Yudin 2, Harrison 1), 12 three-run homers, 19 two-run shots and 28 solo bombs ... 130 of UCLA's 280 runs have been scored with two outs (46.4%), including 10 of its 12 last weekend at Oregon ... Bates and Harrison are tied for the top spot with 23 two-out RBI, with Fox right behind them with 22.
Twelve-time national champion and 11-time NCAA titleist UCLA is making its 27th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and holds a record of 174-40 (.813 winning percentage). During the Regional round, the Bruins are 75-8 (.904) and have gone undefeated 19 of 26 times, including each of the last three seasons. Since Regional play moved to a four-team format in 2005, the Bruins are 17-3 (.850), advancing to the Super Regionals in `05, `06, `08, `09 and `10. 2011 marks the first time since 2003 (Fresno) that the Bruins have been sent packing for the Regional round. UCLA is 21-2 (.913) in Regional contests away from Westwood. Playoff time has been Samantha Camuso time over her two postseasons. The redshirt junior is batting .423 (22-for-52) in 18 games in the NCAA Tournament with 10 home runs and 24 runs batted in. Eight of those homers and 21 RBI came in last year's tournament, as Camuso hit .467 (14-for-30) in being named to the WCWS All-Tournament Team. Junior Andrea Harrison was also named to the All-WCWS squad after tying a Series record with four homers and setting a new mark with 11 RBI. The Bruins hit 31 homers in the 2010 postseason, including 14 in Oklahoma City, a WCWS record.
The Bruins have never been to the state of Florida for the postseason or played in Gainesville. UCLA has appeared in five tournaments in Florida and owns a record of 30-2. In three tournaments in Tampa, the Bruins went 8-1 in 1994, 8-0 in 1996 and 6-0 in 2000. In 2003, UCLA went 5-0 at the FAU Worth Invitational in Boca Raton. Last season, the Bruins opened their campaign in Clermont at the Dot Richardson Invitational. UCLA defeated Florida Atlantic, Tennessee and Georgia, while losing to Michigan.
Native Floridian GiOnna DiSalvatore will have plenty of fans cheering her on this weekend as the Bruins make a return trip to her home state. She is the fourth Bruin to come out of the Sunshine State, joining Chris Olivie, Dot Richardson and Claire Sua.
The Dolphins will be making their first NCAA Tournament appearance when they hook up with the Bruins on Friday in the first-ever meeting between the two teams. Jacksonville went 43-14 this season and 18-2 in the Atlantic Sun Conference, claiming the league's automatic bid after winning the conference tournament last weekend. The Dolphins have played four games against ranked opponents, defeating Texas A&M 3-1 on March 17, while losing to Florida, Texas Tech and North Carolina. Jacksonville is batting .278 as a team with 40 home runs and 44 stolen bases, averaging 4.6 runs per game. Sophomore Sarah Simon is one of five players batting over .300, hitting a team-best .371, tying for the team lead with nine homers and placing second with 40 RBI. Sophomore Olivia Kline (.333), junior Kayla Ouellet (.306), junior Amanda Schmidt (.301) and senior Katie Kelly (.301) are also batting above .300. Schmidt is first with 48 RBI and tied for first with nine homers, while Ouellet has a team-high 21 stolen bases. In the circle, Kline and junior Sarah Sigrest are the top two pitchers. Sigrest is 26-5 with a 1.01 earned run average and 200 strikeouts in 215 1/3 innings, while Kline is 15-6 with a 1.50 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 140 innings. Amanda Lehotak is in her fifth year as the head coach at Jacksonville. The only team the Bruins have played from the 11-team Atlantic Sun Conference is Mercer, who they defeated twice in 1999 and 2006 by 8-0, six-inning scores.
The Gators went 47-9 during the regular season and placed first in the SEC East with a 21-7 record. Florida entered last week's Southeastern Conference Tournament on a nine-game winning streak, but lost in the tournament quarterfinals to Auburn last Thursday. The Gators are hitting .328 as a team with 104 home runs and 69 stolen bases, averaging 7.5 runs per game. Six players are hitting .300 or better, led by junior Michelle Moultrie, who is batting .427 with two homers, 28 RBI and a team-best 21 stolen bases. Senior Kelsey Bruder (.384, 17 HR, 63 RBI), senior Aja Paculba (.351, 15, 54), senior Megan Bush (.348, 20 HR, 72 RBI), sophomore Brittany Schutte (.321, 17, 52) and freshman Cheyenne Coyle (.313, 13, 46) are all hitting .300 or better with at least 13 homers and 45 RBI. In the circle, senior Stephanie Brombacher and freshman Hannah Rogers have split the duties. Brombacher is 17-2 with a 1.08 earned run average and 108 strikeouts in 123 innings, while Rogers is 30-5 with a 1.60 ERA and 178 strikeouts in 214 1/3 innings. Tim Walton is in his sixth season as head coach.
The Bruins are 3-2 all-time against Florida, but have never played at Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. The two teams met on Feb. 25 at the Cathedral City Classic, with Florida winning 4-1. UCLA posted 11-1 and 10-2 (6 innings) victories at Easton Stadium in 2002 and 2007. At the Women's College World Series in 2008, the Gators ended the Bruins' season with a 2-0 win. Last year, UCLA knocked off Florida in the opening game of the WCWS by a score of 16-3 in six innings. A recap and box score from the last two UCLA-Florida contests is available on page 11 of this release.
Bethune-Cookman (33-24) won its second-straight, Mid Eastern Athletic Conference Tournament title with a 5-4, walk-off victory over Delaware State last Sunday to earn the league's automatic bid. The Wildcats, out of Daytona Beach, Fla., were a perfect 12-0 in the MEAC South Division. Bethune-Cookman is batting .305 as a team with 27 home runs and 65 stolen bases, averaging 5.7 runs per game. Six players are hitting .300 or better, led by senior Allison Garcia, who is first on the team with a .374 average, nine homers and 56 RBI. Sophomore Michelle Banuelos-Smith (.367), junior Cesley Tafoya (.314), senior Ashton Hinds (.306), freshman Kelsey Rodney (.302) and sophomore Aurelia Gamch (.302) are also hitting .300 or better. In the circle, Garcia has started more than half of the Wildcats' games, going 26-11 with a 3.54 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 257 innings. Chris Cochran is in her third year as head coach at Bethune-Cookman.

These live pics of the Pagani Zonda F Roadster come from our guys at Autoblog.it who were lucky enough to spot it at the Bologna motor show. Not only that, our blogging colleague also got the chance to have a chat with Horacio's nephew, who apparently revealed some information about the upcoming Pagani C9, but it was promised that the information would not go to print. In any case, we can expect a masterpiece with Pagani raising the bar yet again on its own hypercar models, and the C9 set to be a new benchmark.
The Pagani Zonda F Roadster you see in the pictures appeared in a corner of the Bologna motor show exhibition hall, guarded only by the young relative of the man himself. There was no glass to be got around - not even a red cord marking the area, which is something you see on much less prestigious and precious cars. Enjoy the pics below and if we get wind of what the information on the C9 was, in addition to Pagani's plans for the US, we'll let you know.

The Therapeutic Power of Music
It has long been acknowledged that music can transcend barriers between people - such as race, nationality and culture - and is often more powerful than language in forging social connections. The impact of music on human emotions and behavior continues to be a topic for research, with interesting and encouraging results. It has been found that certain types of music can be very therapeutic for people who have mental health problems, autism, dementia and depression, as well as patients who have suffered a stroke, brain injury or who are battling with a life-threatening or terminal illness. With this in mind, music charity Nordoff Robbins is dedicated to using music therapy to touch the lives of vulnerable individuals of all ages across the United Kingdom.Read more..

Season Review: November
by Ashley Houghton
Win at Fulham highlight of November's action.
Aston Villa continued their fine run of form at the Stadium of Light with a 1-0 victory over Sunderland at the start of November.
Gabriel Agbonlahor scored the only goal for the Villans as Paul Lambert's side made it one defeat in eight on Wearside.
Skipper Lee Cattermole, who arguably turned out his best performance of the season in the Villa defeat, bemoaned his team's luck as the Black Cats fell to back-to-back defeats for the first time in the campaign.
"I had a shot towards the end of the game which ricocheted out between two Sunderland shirts. It's not going for us," the midfielder said.
Following the defeat to Villa, both John Egan and David Meyler sealed loan moves to Bradford City and Hull City respectively.
Egan's loan spell was cut short after the Republic of Ireland youth international broke his leg whilst with the Bantams whilst Meyler's move became permanent in January.
Sunderland's second game of the month was a trip to Everton, a team the Black Cats have notoriously struggled against in the 21st century.
Adam Johnson put the Wearsiders ahead only for two goals in three minutes first from Marouane Fellaini and then Nikica Jelavic giving the Toffees a 2-1 win and all three points.
Defender Carlos Cuellar was buoyed by the performance on Merseyside, though the result frustrated the Spaniard.
"The players are down at the moment, because we played so well and lost, but we can take confidence from that performance," Cuellar added.
A week after the Everton defeat, young defender Blair Adams joined Coventry City on loan.
And, like Meyler, Adams would see his loan move made permanent in January.
The Black Cats ended a six-game winless run by recording their first away victory of the campaign at Craven Cottage.
Goals from Cuellar, Steven Fletcher and Stephane Sessegnon helped Sunderland on their way to a 3-1 victory over the Cottagers who had earlier equalised through Mladen Petric after Brede Hangeland had seen red in the first half.
Sessegnon's strike to seal the win was a goal of the season contender as the Beninese forward cut infield before launching an unstoppable shot into the top corner.
Team-mate Fletcher, who failed to score in October after scoring in every Black Cats game in September, was delighted to get back on the scoresheet.
"When I received the ball and took my first touch I knew I wanted to put it in the far corner and fortunately I managed to do that," the Scottish international added.
The penultimate game of November saw Sunderland lose out to West Bromwich Albion in a six-goal thriller at the Stadium of Light.
The Baggies won 4-2 in the game that produced the most goals at the SoL all campaign with Zoltan Gera and Shane Long giving the visitors a half-time lead.
Craig Gardner responded for the hosts from the penalty spot before Romelu Lukaku extended West Brom's lead.
Stephane Sessegnon gave the Black Cats some late hope, though Marc- Antoine Fortune scored deep into injury time as Sunderland pushed for a late equaliser.
The Black Cats finished the month with a goalless draw at home to QPR in Harry Redknapp's first game in charge of the Hoops.
Simon Mignolet was in fine form in the Sunderland goal whilst Fletcher missed two good chances to grab a winner for the hosts.
Manager Martin O'Neill rued his side's inability to convert their chances as the Black Cats searched for a first home win in five games.
"I really felt that at any given stage we could have scored in the game, but it wasn't to be," O'Neill said.
Sunderland were also dealt a blow as captain Lee Cattermole limped out of the action - the skipper would be ruled out until mid-January and play only twice more all season.

We want you to decide how you wanna play the game. You can experience the classical Achtung Die Kurve simply by removing the powerups and even the holes/jumps. If you don´t like the default feeling of the game you can change the speed, turning speed, jump frequency and more. You can also remove a few of the powerups if you don´t like them. If this is to much for you then just screw the settings and play the game!
We will continue to develop Achtung Online and would love to hear your thoughts on what features you would like us to implement and what bugs you have experienced (hopefully none). To do this just visit our community page.
If you get bored with the classical square map try out our circle map. But be aware that the wallhack powerup might be hard to master in this mind botteling mirror map.
In the future we will add more map types of different sizes and shapes. If you have any request you are most welcome to post it (or vote it up if it exist) in our community page.
Play FFA up to 12 players or team up against each other. You can play the clasical 2 vs 2 or you can play 4 vs 3 vs 2 vs 1. You decide! Don´t forget that you can change the "Target Score" in settings if the default don´t suite you and your friends.

Although we have unprecedented freedom of movement, modern life is extremely regimented, subject to rules and regulations, our every move monitored and logged. With our diaries mapped out months in advance and deadlines to meet, our daily routines allow us little spontaneity. We live in our heads, hardly noticing our surroundings as we rush from A to B.
In a spirit of spontaneity, exploration and adventure, I decided to undertake a series of journeys completely subject to the vagaries of chance, the sole purpose being to lay myself open to whatever may happen, to go wherever I am led, and ultimately to see if behind the random and haphazard, connections can be made. I will be taking to the streets of London accompanied only by my camera, a copy of the A-Z and a set of dice. Like all games of chance, however, these journeys will be subject to a set of rules......
Through my camera viewfinder I observe the daily and seasonal nuances which alter our domestic, rural and urban spaces. I usually prefer to take my inspiration from life as it unfolds, seeking to frame the mundane stuff of daily life in unexpected ways and creating fresh perspectives on the everyday. I have a particular interest in photographing the urban landscape, incorporating chance elements and exploring the nature of serendipity, coincidence and connections.The images are then combined into sequences in book form to emphasise the underlying relationships between the apparently random and haphazard, celebrating the accidental and the spontaneous. I am a recent graduate of the MA Photography course, de Montfort University, Leicester.

Reader Question:
I have a hard time peeling garlic. Would you recommend I use the minced garlic in jars?
- Susan
Marilyn's Answer:
I definitely prefer using fresh garlic. I really like to get the whole garlic heads and then use the cloves as I need them. Garlic keeps well at room temperature. I find that as you take off each clove, the best way to peel it is to smash it! On a sturdy and secure (I'll address that in a minute) cutting board you can smash the garlic clove with the side of a large chef knife or a small skillet. This makes the papery skin on the outside of the garlic break apart, making it easy to peel. To secure a cutting board, place a damp towel underneath it, which will prevent the cutting board from moving around on the counter. Also, some cutting boards have non-skid edges and do not need to be secured. I hope this helps!
Thank you,

Date Climbed: Apr 18, 2014
|I waited as lond as I could to make the 8 hour drive out east. I had been watching snow level reports for over a month and thought I'd give it a go. I got as far as 2.5 miles short of the East Eagle Creek TH due to snow. Which meant a long day ahead of me. 20 miles round trip, 5500' elevation gain. Half of it on snow shoes. From the base of Red was Picks and Pons to the top. Crater Lake was frozen and under snow. Pretty strait forward and absolutely perfect weather. I loved it! It's rare that you get to see these mountains covered in snow. Long 11 hours but made it back to the truck right at dark.

Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2013
|After Rock Creek Butte, I drove east to Baker City and later to McBride Campground (my car-camping destination). Despite great weekend weather, the campground only had 1-2 other campsites taken. My site was so big that 3-4 vehicles could probably fit in it. Highly recommended campground.
Thanks to getting some great beta both from online and from peakbagging buddies, the hiking approach was fairly straightforward. I fell down during the scree ascent and hurt an arm and leg, but nothing serious. I tried not to waste much time, as I did not like being in such a remote area alone and was eager to head home later that day. I did not stay long at the summit due to what looked like approaching thunderclouds. I did not like this peak, unlike other Wallowa gems such as Eagle Cap and Sacajawea Peak. Then came the LONG drive back home, many times in bad traffic on the freeways.
By my calculations, I just passed 1,000,000 feet of cumulative lifetime elevation gain for summit hikes & attempts, by the conclusion of this summit hike.

Date Climbed: Aug 7, 2010
|Hiked in from Eagle Creek with Troy Baker as part of our "2 Red Mountains Challenge" for the weekend (hiked red mountain in the elkhorns the following day). Hike took longer than I expected thanks to the poorly maintained - heavily overgrown trail. Ascended ridgeline further south than is the standard route and circumnavigated a gendarme between Granite and Red Mountains. Used standard route for descent, pretty hard on the old knees.

Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2006
|On a perfect September day we set out to climb my 35th Oregon county high point. Starting at 8 AM and finishing 11 hours, 40 minutes later in the waning twilight, we were surprised at how difficult this trek was. Turns out that the trail climbs and drops much more that the map shows resulting in about 5,700 vertical foot gain for the round trip. The final 1,500 vertical of the peak is 2/3 on loose steep talus so that part requires a bit of extra energy as well.
The views in this part of the Wallowas are so inspiring as to make the difficulty seem trivial, so we enjoyed ourselves immensely and look forward to our next opportunity to climb in this wonderful area.

|Haydar's summitlog pretty much sums it up! Crazy weather. Got pounded by snow and wind on Saturday (Red Mtn. summit day as we initiallyl planned it....wasn't meant to be) and "ran" up Krag Peak as a consolation prize with Haydar. Saturday evening did not look promising as we had practically no visibility and continued snow fall (were planning on just hiking out Sun. morning). Our luck however changed Sunday morning as we saw mostly clear skies and sunshine. Decided to give Red a shot afterall and as we scrambled up the snow-coated scree and reached the ridge the clouds returned and started dumping snow on us once again. We tagged the summit and quickly hiked down/back to the car. Shirley and I both enjoyed Haydar's company - made the hike out less painful and the drive home enjoyable. 1am arrival in Portland and a crappy 7am wake up for work.

|Route Climbed: South Ridge via Crater Lake (aka The Dr. Route) Date Climbed: Oct. 12, 2003
|Nature had prepared few surprises for us on my first trip to the remote landscape of Wallowas. On Saturday as we reached Crater Lake snow started coming down heavily and the Red mtn. attempt was out. To salvage the day rpc and I climbed Krag Peak west of Crater Lake in almost zero visibility. Next day happy to see the sun shining, with Shirley, Radek and Blondie, a true trooper, we headed for Red Mtn. There was nearly half a foot of snow on the ground, we quickly skirted the lake and went cross country to the base of the mountain. Decided to go along the second band of trees all the way to the ridge. Negotiating the sharp rock/scree covered in snow took us a while and once at the ridge top the sun was gone and dark clouds from the west had moved in. We dropped our packs here and raced to the summit. The final part of the ridge was exposed and very loose also covered in snow and ice. Any slip here would have had dire consequences. Carefully inched our way to the summit, unfortunately no views. Came down the same way talking and enjoying ourselves. My special thanks to Radek and Shirley for introducing me to the Wallowas. Will be back!

|Three of us, all summitpost members and county highpointers ascended this peak on a warm September day. Barely escaping an encounter with a bull in a meadow along the trail early on (I had a red scarf ready to throw on the pack of fellow summitposter rfbolton ) we made the 18 mile round trip effort in a twelve hour day. We thought the mountain, after descending it should be re-named to Mt. Cairn as it seemed to be put together in a like manner (or slag heap). Still, it has a great summit and tremendous views in all directions. For rfbolton , it was his 35th Oregon County highpoint and my 29th. It was our first effort with Dennis Poulin and since then Dennis and I have climbed a ton of stuff together.

6/20/2014—By the time you read this post, the Lexus-sponsored Food & Wine Classic in Aspen will have launched the culinary summer—a festive mingling of cooking demos, wine tastings, and celebrities that add up to one giant mountain food party.
One of the festival's more intriguing demos this year is the aptly named "You Want Me to Eat What? Nose-to-Tail Meets Uncharted Waters," and we say aptly, because the guys behind it are none other than Lexus Culinary Masters Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo—the pioneering chefs behind the massively popular L.A. restaurants Animal and Son of a Gun.
For those unfamiliar, these are the chefs who've added seismic energy to the city's perceived food culture with absurdly creative, whole-animal, meat- and seafood-centric menu items that clash with everything the L.A. scene is supposed to be, which is to say lavish and ultra health conscious. Consider Animal's crispy pig head with short-grain rice, bulldog sauce, and soy egg, shown here:
Should you decide to enjoy these creations firsthand, know this: the chefs are now giving Lexus drivers some VIP treatment. Lexus owners dining at Animal will receive "an exclusive surprise treat" when they show their Lexus key fobs to the server staff. (Also know that other Lexus Culinary Masters offer special Lexus-owner treatment at their restaurants, too.)
Shook and Dotolo, by the way, are opening two new L.A. restaurants this year. One is an extension of their ongoing partnership with French chef Ludo Lefebvre, called Petit Trois. The other will open across the street from Animal—a highly anticipated affair.
The anticipation is partly due to the pair's culinary rep, and partly due to the venue showcasing something completely different for the duo, which is say modern and pleasantly upscale, as indicated by their restaurant designer, Jeff Guga, whom Shook and Dotolo met through iconic design-book publisher Benedikt Taschen.
Guga, who worked with Frank Gehry for just under a decade, is known for modern, elegant spaces painted with light—a far cry from Shook and Dotolo's almost counterculture contribution to the L.A. food scene.
He's renovated residential modern architectural landmarks by Gregory Ain and worked on designs for Walt Disney Concert Hall, Seattle's Experience Music Project, Jerusalem's Museum of Tolerance, New York's Lincoln Center redesign, and The Standard Downtown L.A. hotel.
Together Guga and the chefs will unveil something intriguing when their collaboration finally opens to the glee of food bloggers inside and outside L.A., and they've decided with their forthcoming project to work with and respond to the Los Angeles elements that make the sprawl unusually exciting: light, nature, the arts, and nods to street and architectural style.

The last Baker head coach to earn the distinction was Hall of Fame coach Charlie Richard who won the award six times, with the last award coming in 1993.
The Wildcats also earned 24 All-Conference awards on Monday, highlighted by First Team awards for Sheldon Jacks, Clarence Clark and Darrick Smith.
Clark actually earned two First Team All-Conference awards, as he was named the HAAC First Team kicker and garnered a spot on the HAAC First Team Defense as an athlete. He was also named a HAAC Second Team wide receiver.
Joining Clark on the Second Team All-Conference Offensive team were teammates Justin McCandless, Dillon Baxter and Jake Morse.
Baker landed five players on the Second Team All-Conference defensive team, as Emmerson Clarke, Austin Hamm, Mike Stevenson, Gunnar McKenna and Adam Novak were all honored. Novak was the only freshman named to the All-HAAC Defensive Second Team.
Punter Bryan Williams and running back Camren Torneden were named to the Third Team All-Conference.
Four 'Cats earned spots on the HAAC Honorable Mention team, as TJ Holtrop, Tyler Hatcher, Michael Lisher and Scott Meyer were selected.
Rounding out the final awards for BU were Honorable Mention All-Conference defense selections Nick Becker, Myron Tipton, Tucker Pauley, Duane Sims and Camren Torneden.
The No. 4 ranked Wildcats will next take on No. 5 Morningside this Saturday, Nov. 30 at 1 p.m. at Liston Stadium in the NAIA Football Championship Series Quarterfinals.
