On the Tee: The sixth-ranked University of Arizona men's golf team returns to action this week at the Ping/Golfweek NCAA Preview in Durham, N.C. The tournament is contested at the Duke University Golf Club, site of the 2001 NCAA Men's Golf Championships.
The Rankings: UA remains ranked in the top 10 in two of three major college golf polls. The Cats are No. 6 in the MasterCard/CGF poll, No. 7 in Golf World and No. 12 in the Golfweek rankings. Individually, two Wildcat golfers are ranked nationally. Ricky Barnes, the 2000 National Freshman of the Year, is ranked sixth in the MasterCard/CGF poll and seventh in the Golf World poll, while fellow sophomore Reid Hatley check in at No. 24 on the Golfweek/Sagarin rankings.
Tourney Facts: The NCAA Preview features a stellar field that includes 14 of the top 20 teams ranked in the current MasterCard Collegiate Golf Rankings. Additionally, 12 of the 15 schools, including 2000 NCAA Champion Oklahoma State, participated in last spring's NCAA Championship. In addition to Arizona, the following teams are scheduled to compete: Arizona State, Auburn, BYU, Clemson, Duke, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Houston, Kent State, UNLV, Northwestern, North Carolina, Oklahoma State, Texas, and TCU.

Head Coach Rick LaRose . . . is in his 23rd season at the helm of the Arizona golf program, coach Rick LaRose has established the Wildcats as one of the finest in the nation. The only college coach to win both a men's (1992) and women's (1996) NCAA Championship, LaRose's teams have won seven NCAA Regionals, five Pac-10 crowns and two Rolex Match Play titles. In NCAA Championship competition, he also has four third-place finishes, a fifth-place and two sixth-place efforts to his credit. Since 1978, his men's teams have won 42 tournaments and produced 55 All-Americans. He is assisted by John Knauer.
Last Time Out: The University of Arizona men's golf team posted the lowest team total of the final round and earned a third-place finish at the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate. The sixth-ranked Wildcats fired a final-round 285 (-3) and finished third in the 23-team field. Three of Arizona's five golfers scored at par or better as the Cats shaved eight strokes off its second-round deficit. BYU won the team competition with a team total of 861 (-3), two strokes ahead of UNLV and four strokes in front of Arizona. Reid Hatley, a sophomore from Spokane, Wash., led the Wildcats as he tied for third place. Hatley posted a four-under-par total of 140 in Saturday's 36 holes, including a final-round 69, to finish in the top three. He was one of two Arizona golfers to finish in the top 20. BYU's Billy Harvey won individual medalist honors with a three-round total of 207 (-9). Freshman Chris Nallen turned in a strong performance, posting a top-20 finish in his first collegiate event. The Blairstown, N.Y., native posted a three-round total of 218 to finish in a tie for 18th place. Sophomore Ricky Barnes and junior Brandon Smith finished in a tie for 25th place at 219. Barnes' fired a final-round 72, his lowest round of the tournament. Other Arizona finishers included junior Cody Beyer, who finished tied for 43rd at 223, and freshman Andy Connell, who finished tied for 81st at 230.
In the 60s: Reid Hatley's final-round 69 at The Tucker ensured his second career top-10 finish. His 212 (-4) aggregate was the second-best total of his career, topped only by a 210 (-6) at the 2000 NCAA West Regional. The 69 was also the fourth time in his career that Hatley has carded a sub-70 round.
Nice Debut: Freshman Chris Nallen registered quite a performance for Arizona in his first collegiate tournament. He earned a top-20 finish with a three-round score of 218 and posted countable totals in all three rounds. Nallen ranks second on the team with a 72.67 stroke average.
What a Difference a Year Makes: Maybe it was freshman jitters last year, but sophomore Ricky Barnes put forth a better effort in this season's first tournament. Battling a sore back, Barnes managed to tally a 219 (+3) total to tie for 25th place. Last season, Barnes' debuted with a 225 (+9) to finish in a tie for 38th place. That three-round total at the 1999 Ridges Intercollegiate is still the highest three-round total of his career.
Chip Ins: Arizona's third-place finish at The Tucker marked the Cats' fifth straight top-five finish dating back to last season ... The Cats have also had at least one individual finish in the top five in those same five events ... Arizona's final-round total of 285 at The Tucker was the lowest team total over the last 18 holes. It also erased five strokes from the squad's second-round deficit.
1999-2000 In Review: From beginning the year not ranked in the preseason top-25 to finishing third and just two strokes behind the leaders at the NCAA Championship, the 1999-2000 Arizona men's golf season was one that will go down as one of the most rewarding in the program's history. Continuing to improve every step of the way with a top-five lineup that consisted of two seniors, a sophomore and two true freshmen, the Cats won two tournaments, including the NCAA West Regional, and placed second four times. After its unexpected third place showing at the NCAA Championships, Arizona ended the season ranked sixth in the country and was the highest ranked Pac-10 Conference team in the final poll.

Dec. 27, 2013
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The women's basketball team (6-5) will take on Princeton (7-4) in game one of the Cavalier Classic on Saturday, Dec. 28, at 11 a.m. CT at the John Paul Jones Arena on the campus of the University of Virginia. The Crimson Tide's second game of the tournament will take place on Sunday against either Coppin State (4-6) or Virginia (5-6) at either 11 a.m. CT or 1:30 p.m. CT.
THE BROADCAST Both games can be heard on the Crimson Tide Sports Network on Tide 99.1 FM with Mick Gillispie calling the action. Fans can also follow online via live scoring on RollTide.com or on Twitter @AlabamaWBB.
SERIES HISTORIES Alabama and Princeton are meeting for the first time, while the Crimson Tide has faced Coppin State once and Virginia three times. The lone meeting with the Eagles came on Dec. 3, 1993, where Alabama came out on top, 98-31, in Tuscaloosa. The Tide and Cavaliers met most recently in 2012, which resulted in a 73-70 overtime victory for Alabama. Virginia won the previous two meetings, a 69-48 win on Nov. 25, 2005, in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. and an 81-58 victory on Dec. 4, 1987, in Charlottesville.
SCOUTING ALABAMA Alabama moved to 6-5 after a thrilling 113-105 overtime win against Troy before the holiday break. Daisha Simmons, Shafontaye Myers and Ashley Williams combined for 93 points to lift the Crimson Tide to the victory. Simmons also added 11 rebounds and 11 assists, becoming the first UA player to record a triple-double since 1995 and first player in the SEC since 2010. In addition, Williams finished with 11 rebounds, notching the first double-double of her career. Myers continues to lead the Tide offense with an average of 15.0 points per game. She also leads the SEC and is 16th in the nation in three-point field goals, averaging 3.27 per game. Simmons leads the Tide in nearly every other category including rebounds (6.4 rpg), assists (5.3 apg), steals (2.6 spg) and minutes (33.8 mpg).
SCOUTING PRINCETON Princeton enters the tournament winners of four-straight games, most recently a 69-39 rout of Illinois State on Dec. 18. The Tigers have claimed the last four Ivy League Championships and are picked to win a fifth this season. As a team, Princeton averages 75.5 points per game and has scored over 80 points on four occasions this year. The Tigers are ranked 11th nationally in field goal percentage at 48.1 percent. Blake Dietrick leads Princeton in scoring with an average of 14.6 points per game, while Kristen Helmstetter pulls down a team-best 6.6 rebounds per outing.
SCOUTING COPPIN STATE The Coppin State Eagles are 4-6 on the year after losing two straight. The Eagles last faced American on Dec. 21, resulting in a 64-42 loss for Coppin State. Three players currently average 10 points or more, led by Kyra Coleman's 15.3 point-per-game contribution. She is followed by Larrisa Carter (13.1 ppg) and Ashle Craig (10.4 ppg). Carter is the team's leader in rebounds, averaging 8.1 boards per game. As a team, the Eagles score 62.8 points per game and collect 40.5 rebounds per contest.
SCOUTING VIRGINIA Virginia moved to 5-6 after beating Florida Gulf Coast, 85-56, last time out. Three-point shooting helped lift the Cavaliers over the Eagles as they hit nine consecutive attempts in the first half. Prior to that win, Virginia had gone 1-5 over its last six games after starting the season 3-1. The Cavaliers have three players averaging double-figure points, led by Ataira Franklin at 12.9 points per game. Sarah Imovbioh leads the team in rebounds with 8.0 boards per game. As a team, Virginia averages 67.0 points and 39.0 rebounds per outing.
THE COACHES Kristy Curry is in her first season as head coach on the Alabama sidelines after spending seven seasons in the same position at Texas Tech (2006-13). Prior to her stint in Lubbock, she spent seven years as head coach of the Purdue Boilermakers (1999-2006). Curry's teams have made nine NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the championship game in 2001, in addition to winning two Big Ten regular season titles and compiling nine 20-win seasons. She holds an overall coaching record of 315-154.
At the helm of the Princeton women's basketball team is seventh-year head coach Courtney Banghart, who has led the Tigers to four-consecutive Ivy League Championships. Banghart inherited a program that had never played in an NCAA tournament and has since taken Princeton to four after winning the league title. Banghart, the four-time Ivy League Coach of the Year, was an assistant at Dartmouth from 2003-07 before assuming the head role at Princeton.
Coppin State is under the direction of Derek Brown, who is in his 15th season with the Eagles. Brown, the winningest coach at Coppin State, has had five 20-win seasons and made three NCAA Tournament appearances as head coach of the Eagles. He holds an overall record of 234-192.
Virginia is led by third-year head coach Joanne Boyle, who holds a career record of 275-135 and a 46-31 mark since taking over the program in 2011. She previously spent six seasons at California (2005-11) where she reached the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2009. Prior to that, Boyle began her head coaching career at Richmond, where she served for three seasons (2002-05).
SIMMONS NAMED SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK AFTER TRIPLE-DOUBLE PERFORMANCE Senior point guard Daisha Simmons earned Southeastern Conference Player of the Week honors on Dec. 23, after having the top statistical performance for an Alabama player since 1995 with a triple-double of 37 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. It was also the first triple-double in the SEC since 2010 and the first, and only, in the nation this season. Her point, rebound and assist totals against the Trojans were all career highs, while the 37 points were the most scored by a junior in program history and the second-highest point total in a single game in the UA record books, one point shy of the record set by Amy Lannom in 1992. Simmons' 14 made free throws also tied for the second-most in a single game in the Tide records. Simmons finished the week averaging 25.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 8.5 assists in two games. She is the only SEC player to be ranked in the league in points, rebounds, assists and steals.
WILLIAMS NOTCHES FIRST DOUBLE-DOUBLE After coming close on a few occasions, freshman forward Ashley Williams finally recorded her first double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds against Troy. Both numbers were also career highs for Williams.
MYERS ONE OF ALABAMA'S BEST THREE-POINT SHOOTERS OF ALL-TIME Senior guard Shafontaye Myers leads the Southeastern Conference and is 16th in the nation in three-point field goals made per game, averaging 3.27 threes a contest. For her career, Myers is seventh in the Alabama career record books with 163.

My Dad was always very proud he was Jewish. Growing up in Leicestershire, we didn't say we were Iranian, but it was OK to be Jewish. Being Jewish will mean recognition, acceptance. It is knowledge, understanding. It is important, when I have a family, that I have that knowledge.
Owen Shayan, 28, a lawyer from Putney, is half-Iranian, half-English. He is a member of New North London Synagogue.

Reviews for Mexican Wedding Cakes
"Mexican Wedding Cakes (we also call them Russian Tea Cakes) have been a family favorite for years. They are always part of our Christmas cookie plate."
"Made these for our wedding anniversary. Husband ate the whole batch! Very addicting."
"I'm a novice when it comes to cooking, so I was a bit nervous about trying this recipe. But I did and the cookies came out awesome! I made these to gift and everyone who received them loved them. In fact, I'm making another batch to give to some people who called asking for more. The only adjustment I made was that I baked them for a few more minutes (18-20) at 350 degrees. Thank you for sharing this recipe. :-)"
"See "Russian Tea Cakes". It cuts the recipe in half.
" As a suggestion, you might want to try Pop-Up Blocker on so you don't have that problem. That's not Taste of Home's fault. Anonymous"

Note: This interview was done several weeks before the passing of Cassio's master Carlson Gracie
IN-DEPTH WITH THE SUPERB CARLSON GRACIE TEAM BLACK-BELT, CASSIO CARDOSO Denis Martins: You are a Carlson Gracie black-belt, but did you always train with Carlson? Cassio Cardoso: No, I did not. Actually I started with Rolles Gracie, when a friend of mine named Ricardo Decache took me to his gym; it was when I was around 15-16 years old. I started jiu jitsu because I was a silly guy and everybody on the street beat me, my intention was to defend myself. So stayed with Rolles in 4 mounts; and then I met Carlson, and I identified myself a lot with him. So I became his student and started on the competitions where I only lost once to Marcelo Behring(Rickson's black-belt), after it I beat him and I then was challenged by him to fight a 1 hour match where I overcame him again by 6-2 in the old rules, if it was in the present rules I would have beat him by 18-2 . I beat Carlos Machado twice, Rigan Machado, Alfredo Marques, Pasqual Duarte, Carlos Elias "Caique" twice, Laerte Barcellos (wrestling champion/bjj black-belt), Rolker Gracie and many others. Denis Martins: Did not this change from Rolles' academy to the Carlson's one generate problems? Cassio Cardoso: Rolles had jealousies of it because he knew my potential, even I was just a white-belt. However it was not a betrayal("creontagem"). Denis Martins: Since your beginning, did you always like BJJ? Cassio Cardoso: I fell in love with it since the first contact. I stayed studying just to get a diploma in Physical Education. Denis Martins: Did you know anything about BJJ or fights in general before your first contact? Cassio Cardoso: I did not have any idea of Martial Arts. When my friend Ricardo took me to the academy, I saw a skinny Rolles training and I did not believe he would be the master and how he was submitting everybody. I could not understand that, but I had a passion and I got to make a good career since then. Denis Martins: You told you had passion in first look, but what about your game? Where did you develop better your BJJ? Cassio Cardoso: In the blue belt I won several matches fighting from the bottom, where between several matches I armbared a tough fighter in that period named Nelson Graca-Couto at AABB. But after sometime I realized that I would have to reach a good game on the top too. In my opinion BJJ is a Martial Art that needs to be developed in all aspects and not just in one of them. I had friends from that period that did not think that, they just explored where they were good and nothing more. Nowadays if a MMA fighter goes to fight without know how to make a guard on the ground, he is completely dead. Denis Martins: Carlson team was known such as a team of passing the guard and the game a little more focused on the top. How did the fighters of that period accept your idea of being good on both aspects? Cassio Cardoso: I beat several tough fighters by my game, the youngest competitors and teammates such as Ricardo Dela Riva and Murilo Bustamente followed my advices and my game. I became a kind of right-arm of Carlson. Denis Martins: Were Bustamante and Dela Riva your students? Cassio Cardoso: They were youngest, so I taught them how to teach BJJ. Denis Martins: How do you see the success of these two guys? Cassio Cardoso: This is cool, I feel myself happy because I saw them starting on BJJ and to see them now is gratifying. Denis Martins: Well, they got more recognition than you did. So do you have any frustration about it? Cassio Cardoso: Each one of us had his own good period. Nowadays the BJJ is much more popular than when I started. The MMA grew and BJJ grew too. Denis Martins: In that period that you started on the trainings at Carlson Team, there were several tough fighters there (like Rosenthal, Serginho Niteroi, Fernando Pinduka, Rosado [who beat Rickson on trainings] and Otavio Augusto Peixotinho). Did you look to any of these guys like a fighter to be followed? Cassio Cardoso: My biggest idol and supporter was Peixotinho. He was a fantastic guy at the academy, great competitor and nice person. Sometimes we see guys very good on the academy, but in the competitions they are terrible; I knew several fighters like that; and Peixotinho was complete. Denis Martins: Did you focus your game in any of these top Carlson fighters? Cassio Cardoso: For sure Peixotinho, Pinduka and Redley Vigio, who I would like to thank, he is a great friend. But Peixotinho was a kind of mirror to me, I looked to him and I put my game like his one. Denis Martins: All of these guys were black-belts? Cassio Cardoso: Peixotinho was purple-belt, three times State of Rio de Janeiro champion; Pinduka, and Rosenthal were black-belt. Just to mention a fact of how these guys were tough, Rosenthal got to submit Rosado in one minute in one of those internal tournaments which were usual on that period. Denis Martins: Was your beginning with these guys an easy adaptation? Cassio Cardoso: On reality this was tougher than you can imagine. I was very light, around 65kg, and I sweated a lot to survive between these guys. But I had Carlson at my side who taught me a lot and I learned it with dedication. I watched several tournaments and I collected what existed to better to myself. I competed for 12 years, in championships that were much more interesting than nowadays, because the fighters were looking for the submissions. Denis Martins: Carlson has a usual speech where he named some guys of powerful("poderoso" in Portuguese). Well what does it mean? Cassio Cardoso: Well, it does not mean that the guy is very good. It does mean that the "poderoso" is crazy, and unbalanced mentally!(lol). So to not tell him that he is 100% crazy, Carlson created the world "poderoso"(lol) Denis Martins: So how do you compare the BJJ tournaments of the past with the ones held nowadays? Cassio Cardoso: I think that the BJJ lost the essence of the past. I see the MMA game of a BJJ fighter by weird way. I meant, I watch BJJ fighter in Pride or UFC, reaching several good positions, and then they did not go to the submission or worse, lost the good position. I think it is the result of the BJJ practiced nowadays, where points and advantages are important and can decide a tournament. I am sorry about it, because the essence of the BJJ is the submission. Denis Martins: Is there any hope of changing in the BJJ practiced nowadays? Cassio Cardoso: I believe Carlos Gracie Jr does a good-job in CBJJ, and if the rules change a little, the changes can come. I think the rules are confused. We see Roger Gracie vs. Rolando "Jacare" Santos in the absolute final of last MUNDIAL, and the polemic was established. I think the rules are not clear, and the arbitration stable. Denis Martins: Is this what made your to be so far from BJJ? Cassio Cardoso: What put me so far was the fact I did not have any challenge in my career after the 1 hour fight against Behring. I had beaten a lot of tough fighters, and my probably challenge would be Rickson. We nearly faced each other in an absolute tournament in black-belt, however I got injured on the trainings and I did not take part of it. I would gain weight coached by Carlson to face Rickson. But it happened in same period that Rickson went to America. So I got married and my pace went a little slow into my career. I had an opportunity of fight MMA in Japan, but the fight-money was not good and the rules were not good too. Ands I kept myself since then only teaching BJJ. Denis Martins: Where would this opportunity of fighting MMA be? Cassio Cardoso: I do not remember if it was in RINGS or Pancrase, they had similar rules 11 years ago. I did not have opportunities of fighting MMA like I should have. When an opportunity of fighting in Japan arose, they offered me a low pursue and the rules in 1995 were very weird in my opinion. I do not remember exactly, but I guess if the fighter touched the hopes, the fight was stopped and it would be re-started on the feet. Carlson also did not like this idea and we resolved to not fight. Denis Martins: Any frustration of never making a MMA combat? Cassio Cardoso: I stayed super frustrated. I never proved the taste of a MMA match. So I started teaching BJJ since then. Denis Martins: How did your mind stay when you resolved to make the transitions of competitor to instructor? Cassio Cardoso: I was accomplished in my career; I was on top when I stopped, so I did not miss any glory in my BJJ career. I did not have problems with this transition. I had the worrying of stopping my career when I was very-well, and I got it after my war against Behring. This fight, even nowadays, renders me some recognition, last year I was in eating a pizza in a restaurant and guy come after me to talk that he watched my fight against Behring. This was very good for me. Denis Martins: You talked about teammates' influence into your career. But what about Carlson into your life? Cassio Cardoso: I have a big gratitude to him. He taught me, supported me and guided me in all aspects of my life when I was only a 15 years old teenager. Denis Martins: What can you tell us about your others belts(blue, purple, and brown)? Cassio Cardoso: Thank God I won everything in all belts, I only lost to Behring in black-belt. In brown belt I had excellent matches such as against Caique from Gracie Humaita, who was a man to be beaten due to his victories, and I submitted him in the arm, and later in other competition I submitted him by triangle. In this same day I beat Rigan, who outweighed me by 10kgs, in the absolute, and I beat Carlos Machado too, all of these fights were in brown-belt. Like I mentioned in first answer I had a superb performance against Graca-Couto in blue-belt, due to it I got the purple-belt from Carlson' hands still ON THE MAT. Denis Martins: You had a nice brown-belt road, so how did your anxiety to become a black-belt stay? Cassio Cardoso: I got the black-belt in the age of 20 years old. This was record in Carlson Team, never before a fighter became a black-belt in 5 years of training. I was anxious of becoming a black-belt due to the competitions I wanted to fight in. Denis Martins: Before entering in-depth of your BJJ epic battles, I would like to know about your experience in Boxing. How did it go? Cassio Cardoso: I was the first fighter of Nobre Arte(renowned Boxing academy in Brazil). When I watched Pinduka versus Marco Ruas in a MMA fight in '83, I realized the importance of staying good on the feet too. I knew Edson who taught Boxing to Claudinho, Fernando and Tortinho, three of the guys who are giving the trainings in Nobre Arte actually. I did a match against a tough fighter named Pequede, who beat Fernando, and we went to a draw. Denis Martins: Did anyone tell you to not train Boxing since you were a BJJ fighter? Cassio Cardoso: They told that it was too many hits on the head, but I only trained it to have a conception of what on the feet was, and I learned it. Denis Martins: Now about the epic battles you had. How do you see them actually and what can you tell us? Cassio Cardoso: I like the situation when I beat Rigan. He weighed 10kgs more than me and I had came from a submission-victory over Caique(who was tough). In the past competitions we always had to fight against several tough-fighters. There were not easy fights, if you keep yourself winning, for sure, you would have several fighters in your heels. I had this situation in my career a lot of times. Denis Martins: Cassio x Behring's story? Cassio Cardoso: Two wars! He was a warrior, and he was the only guy who defeated me. I stayed infuriated when he beat me, and three months later I beat him. He did not accept it too and challenge me to that famous 1 hour fight in '88. When I lost first this was due to a de-ashi-barai, I did not believe in his technique on the feet, but he was good on it and took me down. Our second fight I beat him by 6-2, both fights in '85. So Behring went to Australia where he challenged everybody and won all ValeTudo fights there. So he came-back and challenged me to a 1 hour gi match and I overwhelmed him again. Denis Martins: How did you face this only defeat in a whole career? Cassio Cardoso: I stayed mad, I did not accept, I did not sleep after that fight! I wanted to face him again in same day. By other way of seeing it, this was good because I developed such as fighter and person. That 1 hour match was a real war where two tanks were ready to shoot each other; in that period we could not lose, that was a samurai's life. Denis Martins: How is your life nowadays? Cassio Cardoso: I am very happy and accomplished. I am teaching private BJJ classes and I conduct seminars when I am requested to it. Denis Martins: Did you do some seminars in last year, right? Cassio Cardoso: I conducted seminars in Chicago (at Carlson Team), in Hawaii (at Relson's academy) and in Luis Heredia(Rickson's right-arm). And with it I got some recognition over my name. Denis Martins: I see a surf-board here in your academy. Are you a surfer too? Cassio Cardoso: I stayed a little shared when I started on surfing, but I preferred to take BJJ serious(lol). Denis Martins: A friend of mine told me that he took part of your seminars in Chicago, and he was impressed with your technique. What do you think you have different from others black-belts? Cassio Cardoso: I have the honor of staying at side of Carlson during 12 years of my life. I learned the practical way of BJJ and then I got my diploma in Physical Education. So I think these aspects together made me to be a little different in my seminars. Denis Martins: What about your students? Cassio Cardoso: Well, people in Brazil know I am the instructors of the famous in Brazil. Several Brazilian soap operas' actors train with me; like Marcelo Faria and Luciano Szafir. I taught the soccer-player Romario too, the Magalhaes-Pinto family (a traditional Brazilian family), Carlos Manga Jr, and many others. But I would like to tell about my student named Ricardo Meirelles(110kg & 1,95cm) a monster who is in the purple belt now(soon he will reach the brown) and he is a muay thai champion. We have some negotiations to put him on Pride, and I hope to make it possible still in 2006. Other guys who train with me are Andre Vieira, Anselmo Montenegro, and Eduardo Santos. Denis Martins: Who is Cassio Cardoso by Cassio Cardoso? Cassio Cardoso: Hey, are you kidding to me right?(lol) Well, this is hard to say, but I am a authentic guy, sincere and friendly. Denis Martins: Any final message to the ONTHEMAT.COM readers? Cassio Cardoso: People who wants to have classes or my seminars can contact me through firstname.lastname@example.com and ++ 21 94342083. I would like to say for the fighters who are starting now to have peace on the heart, perseverance and never give-up in front of hard situations. If you have a dream, go ahead and grab it! I would like to leave a message to my 13 years old daughter(Talita) who lives in NY, she won a dance tournament in funk style and I want to say to her: "You are the love of my life". Thank you! Thanks also to Gameness and Academia da Praia

Erin H. wrote, "Hi Outblush -
My brother is getting married July 23rd in Memphis and I need some serious help finding an awesome dress to wear. The challenges I face are two-fold. First, it is going to be effing hot - the end of July in Memphis is like 100 degrees with 90% humidity. I've been living in CT for the past two years and I'm no longer used to that kind of heat. Is there a color/fabric that does not show sweat?????? Second, I am tiny. I am exactly 5' tall and weigh 95 lbs. I don't fit into most size 0 clothing, or even petite size 0 clothing. I count myself lucky if I can wear a 00P. I would really and truly appreciate your help!
So, here's the details you requested:
1) I am a 00P if lucky. My measurements are 31" / 22.5" / 32"
2) My max budget is $160.
3) This is for my brother's wedding on July 23, 2011.
4) I just don't want to die in the heat or look like the hot mess that I will be. Something breathable and that won't show sweat. And, of course, something that's not white, red (bridesmaids will be in red), or black.
5) I really don't like looking skanky. Y'all always keep it classy, so I trust you.
Phew, Erin, Tennessee in the middle of JULY? That's a time of year and a place where all you want to do is lay in a cold swimming pool, not get married! That said, we'd recommend a cotton or linen dress in a lively print: The fabric will breathe and the print will help hide sweat. We tried to pick dresses that would be inexpensive enough for you to have tailored to fit your small frame. Last but not least, you may also want to consider a handbag large enough to contain a small handheld fan!

A pedestrian was struck and killed while walking on the shoulder of I-285 Sunday morning in Atlanta – and police said the person who struck him was driving under the influence.
Tabatha Williams, 24, was charged with DUI, first degree vehicular homicide and reckless driving, according to Atlanta police. And the victim has been identified, but officials are waiting until his next of kin is notified before releasing his name, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office.
Around 4:45 a.m., officers responded to I-285 southbound, south of Langford Parkway and found the man already dead, police spokesman Sgt. Greg Lyon said.
"The preliminary investigation indicates that the vehicle was traveling south on I-285 when it entered the right emergency lane and struck the pedestrian," Lyon said.
Williams, the driver of the vehicle, was taken into custody, Lyon said. And a passenger who sustained minor injuries was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment, he said.
Police said they have not yet determined why the pedestrian was on the shoulder of the interstate.
Woman Found Dead After Backing Into Concrete Wall at Church
A 68-year-old woman was found dead Sunday morning after her vehicle crashed into a concrete wall in the parking lot of a Cobb County church. And investigators believe the crash may have happened because of a medical condition.
The incident happened shortly after 10:50 a.m. at the Milford Baptist Church at 1030 Milford Church Road near Marietta, according to Cobb County police.
Investigators said Ms. Katie O. Palmer, of Marietta, was driving a 1992 Mercury Sable when she began backing rapidly through the parking lot of the church before she struck the wall, police spokesman Officer Mike Bowman said. Witnesses at the scene reported seeing her slumped over the wheel prior to the collision, he said.
Ms. Palmer was transported by ambulance to Wellstar Cobb Hospital where she was pronounced deceased, Bowman said. The Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office has assumed jurisdiction of the body and will assist investigators in determining the cause of death.
Anyone with information pertaining to the collision is requested to call (770) 499-3987.
Victim and Suspect Identified in Deadly Shooting
Police have identified the 21-year-old man who was found shot to death behind an apartment building in Gwinnett County. They have also identified the man they believe killed him, and now they are trying to catch him.
Joel Tengue was found around noon behind a building at the Astor Place Apartments at 1435 Boggs Road near Duluth, according to Gwinnett County police.
They have issued warrants, charging Nicambreon Flowers, 24, with felony murder and armed robbery, police spokeswoman Michele Pihera said Sunday. Flowers lived at an apartment complex nearby, she said. But she could not confirm where the victim lived.
Investigators did find Tengue's beige Ford Focus at the scene, Pihera said. Still, so far they have not released any details regarding the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
Anyone with any information about this crime or the suspect is asked to call Gwinnett County police at (770) 513-5700.

According to an April 9, 2014 post on the Coming Soon website, Matt Damon is looking at starring in the film version of "The Martian," the space adventure by Andrew Weir. However the project seems to have lost its director, Drew Goddard, due to other commitments.
Damon has been in space adventures before, including the dystopian film "Elysium" and the upcoming "Interstellar." The idea is now to find a director with whom Damon would like to work with and then get the movie greenlit.
"The Martian" is the story of an astronaut named Mark Watney who is accidentally abandoned on Mars by his crew mates. The story is a harrowing tale of survival on a hostile world long enough until a rescue mission can occur. The story is a combination of "Apollo 13" and "Robinson Crusoe" informed by some of the most advanced scientific understanding about space exploration and the Martian environment. The book is in the best tradition of some of the hard science fiction works of Arthur C. Clarke and Robert Heinlein.

text: David Domke, University of Washington professor and author of the just-released book, God Willing?: Political Fundamentalism in the White House, the "War on Terror," and the Echoing Press, documents President Bush's effective linking of religious terminology with political goals. While the tally of Bush's good n' evil rhetoric isn't exactly shocking, Domke's criticism of the press hits home: Just two of 326 editorials written about Bush's speeches challenged the religiously derived notion of good vs. evil; none questioned his statements about God's will. "'In a time of crisis, the certainty conveyed by what I call "political fundamentalism" put forward by the administration silenced the Democrats and had great appeal to the press. And yet with so many around the globe expressing a different view, the press failed its readers by uncritically echoing these fundamentalist messages.'"

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
On the occasion of the exhibitions A Bigger Splash: Painting after Performance at Tate Modern (through April 1) and Explosion! The Legacy of Jackson Pollock at the Fundació Joan Miró (through Feb 24), Stephen Moonie considers the history of "painting and performance in relation to one another." He asserts that "it is evident that painting can no longer be taken for granted: instead it operates within an expanded field across and between media."
He concludes: "What is clear... is that performance and painting are closely intertwined, and that the relationship between the two works both ways: painting is not only a pathway into performance, but that many aspects of performance equally lead back into painting..."
Hunter Braithwaite writes about Zhu Jinshi's monumental triptch 权力与江山 (Power and Country) on view in the exhibition Alone Together at the Rubell Family Collection, Miami through August 2, 2013.
Braithwaite begins: "You smell the paintings in the back of your throat and try to take shallow breaths. The three 16-foot-tall oils strive upwards to the ideal of unsullied negative space. On average, the paintings weigh half a ton. The canvas at the top of the frames is stretched gale-taught. At the bottom, the weight of the paint has distended the surface to a slack edema. And while the triptych has the undeniable outline of a 山 (shan), the simplified character for mountain, the artist insists that it be displayed 3-2-1, with the peak still centered and the slopes switched. This choice, coupled with a palate of broad swathes of green littered with more muted industrial hues, evokes the cities surrounding the Yangtze that were abandoned and submerged during the earth-moving Three Gorges Dam project."
Dan Coombs reviews the exhibition A Bigger Splash: Painting After Performance at Tate Modern, on view through April 1, 2013.
Coombs writes that performance art "can be an exhausting medium with little room for the sort of contemplation possible in front of a painting. The form itself is ephemeral and disappears as soon as the performance is over and often the only evidence that such a thing ever happened is through a photograph or a film... This is ironic given that performance art is a continuation, and some might say completion, of the modernist drive towards actuality. It articulates its form through a real body, a real presence, and gives its subjects, which are often imbued with political urgency, a condition of actual being. The disadvantage with it is that, as with events in real life, it is over so very quickly, and often we encounter it most readily through the mediated form of photography or film, a translation of actuality into a fiction. Painting, in comparison, seems embarrassingly immediate."
Charlie Finch bemoans the emphasis on performance art in the 2012 Whitney Biennial.
His excoriating critique concludes: "Painting and sculpture exist for a reason, folks: to inspire contemplation of the fixed and unchangeable across the fluxing ages, to comfort us and give us the illusion of depth and meaning in life."
There is something fascinating about "live" painting. Painting, is nearly always a private act by a single artist alone in his or her studio. Austrian painter Hermann Nitsch brought the act of painting into the performance art arena in the 1960s with his Orgien Mysterien Theatre performances. This week he painted live at Mike Weiss Gallery.. (Feb 15 & 16). Lynn Maliszewski's report on the happening includes great photos of Nitsch and his assistants painting, clad in white robes.

Ok, we think this Stampler ($20) is an awesome idea, we really do. Except, that face isn't actually smiling, so why does it say 'Have a Nice Day' around it? Given the facial expression, we think the stamp should read something like "Have an Average Day" or "Have an Unimpressive Day" or maybe just "Have a Day".
How do you think they are going to make a staple in the shape of a smile???

text: Mar 9, 2013 07:48 LSU track and field sends 13 to NCAA Indoor meet LSU track and field sends 13 to NCAA Indoor meet Associated Press file photo by CHARLIE NEIBERGALLLSU sprinter Kimberly Duncan has the fastest time in the world this season in the 200 meters at 22.54 seconds. She leads a strong Lady Tigers contingent into the NCAA Indoor Championships on Friday and Saturday. BY SHELDON MICKLES| Advocate sportswriter Comments The LSU track and field teams will have a total of 13 scoring opportunities for the NCAA Indoor Championships, which will be held Friday and Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark. The top-ranked Lady Tigers have 10 scoring chances in the meet as they go for their first NCAA indoor crown since 2004. While their 10 entries ranks only fifth among the title contenders, nine Lady Tigers rank in the top seven nationally going into the meet. The list is headed by senior Kimberlyn Duncan, who has recorded the fastest time in the world in the 200 meters this season at 22.54 seconds and is second in the nation in the 60 (7.16). Duncan will be going after her third consecutive NCAA indoor title in the 200. Charlene Lipsey and Natoya Goule rank 1-2 in the 800 with times of 2 minutes, 02.48 seconds and 2:03.08, respectively, while Jasmin Stowers is ranked third in the 60 hurdles (8.06). Keri Emanuel and Lynnika Pitts rank fourth and sixth in the triple jump with marks of 44 feet, 2 inches and 43-9, respectively. Two Lady Tigers are seventh in their events with Takeia Pinckney joining Duncan in the 60 (7.28) and Denise Hinton going in the weight throw (70-91/4). The Lady Tigers' 4x400 relay team ranks ninth at 3:33.91. The 15th-ranked Tigers will have three entrants in the meet, a group that's topped by Aaron Ernest. Like Duncan, he is the world leader so far this year in the 200 with a time of 20.53 seconds. LSU's other entrants are Damar Forbes, who ranks second in the long jump (26-53/4), and the 4x400 relay team (3:07.41) that ranks ninth.

A new California law governing limited liability companies became effective as of January 1, 2014. The California Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act (RULLCA) makes significant changes in the rights and responsibilities of members and managers of LLCs. But most of the provisions of RULLCA are "default" provisions that apply only if the members have not agreed otherwise in a written LLC Operating Agreement. If an existing (or amended) Operating Agreement adopts rules for operation that are different from the "default" rules stated in RULLCA, then the terms of the Operating Agreement will override the default rules of RULLCA. Therefore, it is important that all LLCs have comprehensive written Operating Agreements, to ensure that the parties' intentions are reflected in the Operating Agreement and that the terms of the Operating Agreement override any default rules of RULLCA that do not conform to the parties' expectations.
Here are some examples of new default rules imposed by RULLCA that may not reflect the parties' expectations, and should therefore be modified in a written Operating Agreement:
Manager Authority. RULLCA provides that, if the LLC is managed by a Manager (rather than its members), then the Manager may not take any action "outside the ordinary course of business" without the consent of all of the members. We believe that most LLCs will want to allow the Manager to take such actions with the consent of a majority, or a specified supermajority, of the members, but that requiring the consent of all members may unduly hinder desirable action or thwart the will of the majority.
Dissociation Events. RULLCA introduces a new concept not included in the prior LLC law: Certain events in the life of a member constitute "dissociation events" the result of which is that the member (or its successor) retains an economic interest in the LLC, but loses certain membership rights such as voting rights and the right to information about the business of the LLC. Dissociation events include the death or incapacity of an individual member, the bankruptcy or dissolution of an entity member, and the distribution of assets by a trust to its beneficiaries. We believe that most people would expect the membership rights of an LLC member to pass to the member's legal successor upon the occurrence of these dissociation events (i.e., to the executor or administrator of a deceased member, the guardian or conservator of an incompetent member, the bankruptcy trustee or debtor in possession of a bankrupt member, and the beneficiaries of a distributed trust member), but unless the written Operating Agreement so specifies, RULLCA will strip those members of certain membership rights.
Dissociation of Manager. If a member who serves as a Manager of the LLC experiences a dissociation event, that member is automatically removed as a Manager. If the parties intend that the LLC Manager should continue to serve as Manager regardless of the Manager's status as a member, then the Operating Agreement should explicitly state that.
Members without an Economic Interest. Unlike the former law, under RULLCA, an LLC can have members who have no economic interest in the LLC. That is, they make no capital contribution, and they have no interest in the profits, losses, and distributions of the LLC, but they may have voting rights. Similarly, the Operating Agreement may provide that the consent of a certain non-member third party is required for certain actions by the LLC. If this is a feature that the members would like in their LLC, or if a third party such as a lender requires this feature, it may be included in the Operating Agreement.
Fiduciary Duties.
Indemnification. Under the prior law, an LLC may indemnify members of a member-managed LLC, or Managers of a manager-managed LLC, but is not required to indemnify them. Under RULLCA, unless the Operating Agreement provides otherwise, the LLC must indemnify members of a member-managed LLC, or Managers of a manager-managed LLC, as long as they have complied with their statutory duties. If the parties do not desire mandatory indemnification, and if the existing Operating Agreement does not address indemnification of managers or members, then the Operating Agreement should be amended to reflect the parties' preferences.
We recommend that the Operating Agreements of existing LLCs be reviewed to determine whether any revisions are desirable to avoid unintended consequences of the default provisions of RULLCA.

Please be advised that your MUST have health insurance if you want to study in Germany!
In Germany, health insurance is seen as the most important insurance and is mandatory by federal law for all students and employees in Germany. There are two types of health insurances: statutory health insurance and private health insurance. For statutory health insurance the terms of contract, monthly contributions and the scope of benefits are regulated by federal law. For private health insurances the terms and conditions vary from provider to provider, while the scope of benefits and cover approximately correlates with the monthly contribution.
Please note: Some private insurance companies will only accept students within a week of their arrival in Germany.
From the arrival in Germany until your enrolment
For this time we advise that you sign up with a private health insurance (e.g. a travel insurance) since your student health insurance begins to be valid only at the beginning of the semester. Providers for these services are for example: the ADAC or the Würzburger Versicherungs AG as well as many other private health insurers.
Students under 30 years of age may sign up with a student health insurance with various German statuory health insurances. At the moment fees amount to approximately 70 Euros/month. During your first semester in Göttingen, note that the health insurance becomes valid only with the beginning of the semester (1 April or 1 October). Important: Sign on with your health insurance directly after you have received your admission letter, since you will need a certificate of having health insurance for your enrolment. You may obtain such a document by asking your insurance to issue one.
Students older than 30 years cannot sign up with a statuory health insurance. They have to sign up with a private insurance. Again, for enrolment you need proof of insurance from the private insurance, freeing you from the statuory insurance obligation.
Short-term visitors
Foreign visiting students who are visiting Germany for a short-term period and who are therefore not enrolled at the university, or foreign visiting scientists who are not employed in Germany still need to ensure that they are covered by a valid health insurance. For short-term visitors, a travel insurance is generally the best option.

"Actually, that was a joke. Quite a few of us, including Zarev and Varik, are Jedi Knights. We're supposed to rise above such base passions. As for Corsail...It'll be a cold day in the Mustafar system before he'll even think about entering a relationship that's more than platonic with someone he disdains!"
Avriela kept her mouth shut as she thought of what she had seen in Zarev's mind came to mind.
I wonder how she would react if she knew the truth about how Zarev really feels about her.
Come to think of it...I wonder what Varik would think if he knew how I thought about him. He's a good man, at least he gave me a chance instead of shooting me on sight.
"Corsail in a relationship, thats a scary thought." She said quietly although she had a grin on her face.

All-American Update...
Byron Hanspard
With his streak-extending 257-yard effort against Southwestern Louisiana, junior Heisman Trophy candidate Byron Hanspard set several school records last week. His average of 200.0 yards per game leads the nation. His 2,000 total yards this season is the sixth-highest total in NCAA history.
Against Baylor, Hanspard had become the first back in the nation to pass the 1,000-yard mark this season. He has also gone over 1,000 yards in fewer games than any back in Tech history. Hanspard passed the 1,000-yard mark in the first five games, while Byron Morris in 1993 and James Hadnot in 1978 and 1979 achieved the mark during the eighth game of the season.
The Heisman Trophy and Doak Walker Award candidate is averaging 6.4 yards per carry and has surpassed the 200-yard barrier in five games this season. He has rushed for over 100 yards in 16 straight games. Hanspard recorded a 287-yard school-record outing against Baylor. (see Hanspard Bio)
The junior from DeSoto is the third-leading returning scorer in the nation this season, after averaging 9.82 points per game last season. A preseason All-America selection, Hanspard averaged 223 yards per game in his final three games of last season, including 260 yards against Air Force in the Copper Bowl, where he was named the game's MVP. He rushed for 1,374 yards last season, the second-best sophomore performance in the Southwest Conference's 82-year history. He also led the team with 35 catches for 474 yards.
Hanspard's Career Stats Rush Yds Avg TDs Rec Yds Avg TDs 1994 173 761 4.4 5 11 230 20.9 1 1995 248 1374 5.5 11 35 474 13.5 7 1996 311 2000 6.4 13 16 176 11.0 1 Total 732 4135 5.6 29 62 880 14.2 9
Zebbie Lethridge Junior quarterback Zebbie Lethridge has quietly been moving up the school charts in several categories. He passed Ron Reeves on the career passing yards list (3rd, 4,987), career pass completions (3rd, 373), Career pass attempts (3rd, 783), career TD passes (3rd, 35) and career total offense (3rd, 5,699). He also moved past James gray for second on the school list for TDs responsible for with 55.
Last year he set a final Southwest Conference record with 211 consecutive passes without an interception, which will stand as the all-time SWC mark. Last season Lethridge recorded the most prolific sophomore season ever for a Red Raider with 1,885 passing yards, 22 total TDs and 2,022 yards in total offense.

Anthony Armour Had eight tackles, including two for losses, against Nebraska�the team's second leading tackler (55)�missed Baylor contest due to a sprained knee, but came back with five tackles and a game-sealing interception at Kansas�had 11 solo hits and 12 overall tackles against Utah State�had a season-high 13 stops against Georgia along with two QB pressures and two pass breakups�had eight tackles in each of the first two games against Kansas State and Oklahoma State�tallied three quarterback pressures, four solos and four assists, including one sack and one tackle for loss at KSU�the weakside linebacker is now starting his third position at Tech.
Tony Daniels One of the few defensive players in the Big 12 that can alter an offensive gameplan, junior All-America candidate Tony Daniels is making a strong bid to be included as one of the top defensive performers in the nation. Daniels was recently named one of 23 semifinalists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy given to the nation's top defensive player.
In the first nine games, the Odessa native has recorded an outstanding 10 tackles for loss, three sacks, four fumbles caused and four fumble recoveries. In Tech's 13-10 win at Texas A&M, Daniels recorded two crucial sacks to end the Aggies' final two potential game-winning drives.
Against Georgia he had a key stuff of quarterback Mike Bobo on an option play that caused a key fumble at the Tech eight-yard-line that ended a potential go-ahead Bulldog score early in the game. Against Oklahoma State, Daniels had three tackles for loss. Against Texas A&M, Daniels recorded key sacks in the Aggies final two drives to key the 13-10 victory in College Station.
Daniels sat out the entire 1995 season after a freak injury diving into a pool prior to preseason drills. After undergoing reconstructive surgery on his knee, the Odessa native used the '95 season to focus on his comeback.
Ben Kaufman As a three-year starter, senior offensive lineman Ben Kaufman has probably played more snaps at Texas Tech than any player to wear a Red Raider uniform. And he has become, perhaps, the top offensive lineman in the Big 12 Conference. Offensive line coach Ted Unbehagen has stated that Kaufman is "easily one of the best offensive lineman in the Big 12. If there is an all-Big 12 team that doesn't include Ben Kaufman, they shouldn't choose one."

Laboratory science can be a risky business, as many of the chemicals used by researchers can be hazardous to their health. While some of these substances' dangers are easily mitigated by following proper safety procedures, others have risks that increase with extended exposure—a lesson unfortunately learned by many chemists in previous centuries, which we explore on today's show. Next, Distillations promotes safety first by exploring why geeky goggles seem more popular in labs than safety glasses. Finally, producer Robin Sussingham visits Auburn Thompson's 10th grade classroom, where the teacher catches his kids' attention through pyrotechnics best not tried at home. Chemical Agent: Lead.

San Luis Obispo, CA – San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson is proud to announce the annual Sheriff's Christmas Bike Giveaway will be held on Wednesday, December 19th at 11 a.m. at the Sheriff's Honor Farm.
Every year since 1989, Sheriff's Honor Farm inmates have refurbished bikes donated by the community to give to underprivileged local children. This year their efforts were complicated by a large fire that destroyed the workshop and many of the bicycles on site.
With the invaluable assistance of the Sheriff's Advisory Council and the SLO Bike Coalition, the Honor Farm staff and inmates were able to double their efforts and accomplish their goal of providing the bikes as promised and on schedule.
Sheriff's staff will be giving several bikes to children at the Honor Farm on Wednesday morning, then will load the rest onto "Santa's Sleigh" for delivery at various locations throughout the county. Sheriff Parkinson welcomes the media to attend the Wednesday event and witness many deserving children receive a bicycle for Christmas.

Kate Middleton: "Hat Person of the Year"!
Kate Middleton has been declared "Hat Person of the Year" by something called The Headwear Association.
In an online poll, the Duchess of Cambridge received an astounding 91% of the vote, beating Rachel Zoe (4%), Ne-Yo (2%), and 1% finishers Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Charlie Sheen.
Middleton joins previous "Hat Person of the Year" recipients Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt.
Founded in 1908, The Headwear Association calls itself the "oldest association in the hat trade."
When she looks back on this time in her life, the Duchess will surely remember most fondly her defeat of Charlie Sheen and Rachel Zoe in a hat contest.

Subjects: Mathematics
This NASA video segment explores the concept of gravity and how Newton's three laws help rockets overcome the force of gravity. Viewers learn that gravity is a force of attraction between objects and that this force is dependent on the objects' masses. Viewers also learn that an object's mass remains constant, that unbalanced forces are needed to lift a rocket into space, and that the rocket will move in a direction that is equal and opposite to the thrust of the engine. Onscreen calculations show the amount of thrust needed for the Saturn V rocket of the Apollo program.

The official word is in: on November 12, 2013, the Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) certified the official architectural height of One World Trade Center, presently under construction in New York City, at the symbolically significant figure of 1,776 feet. As a result, One World Trade Center replaces Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower) as the tallest building in the United States, allowing the Big Apple to snatch bragging rights away from the Second City. Willis Tower, which was the tallest building in the world when it was completed in 1974, remains the world's tallest steel-frame building, with an architectural height of 1,451 feet.
For more than a year, the official architectural height of One World Trade Center, presently under construction, had been called into question. At issue was whether the spire atop the building would be considered "ornamental" and an intrinsic part of the architectural design of the building, or as a "functional" appendage. The original design called for the spire to have a decorative cladding of fiberglass and steel, which the CTBUH accepted as ornamental.
However, the design was changed while the building was under construction, which sparked questions about whether the spire would be included in the building's official height. After the owner/design team of One World Trade Center made its case to the CTBUH, the Height Committee was satisfied that even with the modifications made to One World Trade Center, that the spire remained an architectural detail integral to the design of the building,. As a result, the spire was included in measuring the building's architectural height, which was taken from its main entrance to the tip of the spire.
Had the CTBUH disallowed the spire as an architectural feature of One World Trade Center, its architectural height would only have been 1,334 feet, 8 inches -- the height of the building from the main entrance to the roof slab. By contrast, height of Wills Tower from the ground to the tip of its antennae is 1,729 feet. However, since the antennae were added after the building's completion, and are considered to be functional rather than ornamental, the CTBUH does not include them in Willis Tower's architectural height.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Mercer men's lacrosse team aims to capture at least a share of the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season title on Saturday as the Bears do battle with Jacksonville at D.B. Milne Field. Game time is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Mercer touts a 6-4 (3-0 A-Sun) record despite being upended by Air Force last time out. The Bears enter Saturday's play as winners in four of their last five games, including a 10-9 victory at High Point in their last A-Sun contest.
The Dolphins are 2-7 (1-1 A-Sun) on the season and look to win their second in a row after topping VMI in a dominating 14-5 victory on April 5. The team is 2-3 at home this season at 2-2 at D.B. Milne Field in 2014.
Jacksonville returns 19 letterwinners from last year's team that finished 8-5 overall and 5-1 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). This year, the Dolphins were picked to win the newly formed Atlantic Sun Conference in a preseason poll of league coaches, while six players earned Preseason All-Conference recognition.
The Dolphins rank 30th nationally in LaxPower.com's Division I Strength of Schedule rankings, having opened the season at Duke and against Notre Dame, which ranked No. 3 and No. 5, respectively in the USILA Coaches Top-25 poll at the time of the games.
A balanced offensive attack has six different players with double-digit point totals this year, led by Tom Moore's 25. Moore has registered 14 goals in nine games, including a season-high three-goal effort against Robert Morris on March 22.
Goalkeeper Peter DeLuca ranks seventh among Division I players with an average of 12.11 saves per game. DeLuca has registered 10 or more saves in three-straight games.

Seattle will be going orange in April. Seattle's Great Wheel, Pacific Science Center's arches are just some of the buildings that will light up orange in visual support for Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the fight to end cancer. Orange is the theme color for the Obliteride, a bicycling fundraiser for cancer research. After successfully raising nearly $2 million in its first year for lifesaving cancer research at Fred Hutch, organizers expect with the community's help to raise even more in 2014.
The goal of this bike ride goes beyond the money raised, it builds community and personal support for the fight against cancer. Most riders who took part in last year's Obliteride had in someway been impacted by cancer. Many rode in support of friends or loved ones fighting cancer or to honor those loved ones who died from it. Researchers rode because they passionately believe in what they are doing, and many currently fighting cancer themselves even volunteered. Whatever, participants motivation, they all are committed to this community of cancer fighters.
The Obliteride riders have the opportunity to participate at different levels of fundraising as well as bicycling distances. An option for a 150 mile-ride begins in SODO on August 9 with an overnight in Tacoma at UPS, and finishing in Magnuson Park on Sunday, August 10. Rides of 25, 50, or 100 miles begin and end in Magnuson Park Saturday, August 10. Entry level fundraising is $1000, an amount that according to Obliteride's Executive Director, Amy Lavin, elevates the Obliteride above an ordinary bike ride to the dedication to end cancer. "Thanks to our generous sponsors, including University Village, 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to lifesaving cancer research that improves cancer care in our community and has far-reaching impacts around the world."
You are invited to go to the Obliteride webpage to sign up, contribute or simply learn about the ride and the research that it supports. Also, watch around town as Seattle "Goes Orange."
