Weather permitting, the main entrance nearest the Finger Lakes Community College library will reopen on Monday, Oct. 3, following extensive sidewalk replacement.
Students and visitors arriving at the front of the building from the A lot should follow signs to the new sidewalk leading to the library entrance. The doorway nearest the Campus Safety Offices will revert back to an emergency exit only.
The temporary exit at the end of the A wing will remain open until sidewalk work on the west side of the building is complete. Pedestrians walking from the G lot should watch for changes in walkways and follow construction fencing.
In the meantime, work has begun to build the sidewalk that will lead to the Student Center entrance, which will serve as the main lobby for the College when the building opens in 2012. A radiant heating system will be installed under this sidewalk to melt snow and ice.

Add-ons make surfing with Mozilla Firefox more secure
Imagine visiting a website and being told first to download and run a program from that site to "enhance your viewing experience". This should set your teeth on edge – why would you hand over complete control of your PC to an untrusted party? If your teeth are not affected, please read the computer security recommendations again at http://cern.ch/security.
The only thing preventing full-blown infection of our machines by random websites is that these languages tend to be executed in a restricted environment, the so-called "sandbox". However, implementing a truly secure sandbox is very hard – witness the constant flurry of browser updates – and frequently "usability" conflicts directly with "security". Scripts are also notorious for causing accessibility problems – a screen reader (for the blind) will usually not be able to cope with them, and user preferences (e.g. for large fonts with high-contrast colours) may be ignored.
In some cases the additional functionality is beneficial to the user. For example, large Web applications have become far more responsive since they don't need to reload a Web page on every minor change from the user, to the point where complete "Office" suites are now feasible as a Web service.
On the other hand, a lot of the scripts simply provide visual fluff, serve the more annoying type of advertising or are being employed to track user behaviour. In the worst case, scripts will actively attack, for example by trying to exploit known vulnerabilities in the browser or media viewers ("drive-by download" – no user interaction required), or by stealing or re-using the user's Web credentials. Some attacks are known as "cross-site-scripting" (or XSS), where scripts from one website exploit a programming error on a different site to attack the users there. More specialized attacks go by "cross-site request forgery" (known as XSRF), where an ongoing authenticated Web session is being (ab)used by a third party (think Google getting you to buy books via Amazons' one-click system, without you noticing).
Lastly, the JavaScript in question might not come from the original page owner: user-supplied-content sites (blogs, forums, comments) often do not properly sanitize the provided material, and a swarm of website programming errors mean that often the owners of a website have no idea about the offending code they are propagating.
Different browsers have different defence mechanisms against such attacks and this article concentrates on the Mozilla Firefox browser, which is the default browser on Scientific Linux CERN. Internet Explorer will be featured in the next CNL, in June.
Within the browser
Firefox has the ability to turn off JavaScript and Java applets (Edit–Preferences–Content), and will not understand other languages such as Flash or PDF, at least not without the help of a plugin (which can be turned off). However, this "all-or-nothing" solution is not very satisfactory as some sites might be "trusted", some sites are simply unusable without their scripts, and Firefox itself does not provide a more fine-grained mechanism.
Extensions to the rescue!
Firefox "extensions" are small add-on programs that add new functionality to Firefox. They are usually stored in the user's Firefox directory and are available for free from the Web. While "downloading and running programs from the Web" to solve the problem of "downloading and running programs from the Web" sounds weird, please remember that ultimately the whole of Firefox is distributed this way and the issue here is trust. The extensions discussed here are widely used (and reviewed), are distributed from the official Mozilla website and have well-known authors. Please do not take this article as a general invitation to install whatever extension you find on some shady website!
NoScript – selective whitelisting
This rather popular extension implements the missing functionality for allowing scripts from just some "trusted" sites and not from others. It also tries to prevent various attacks even between these trusted sites.
The extension is unobtrusive: a corner icon informs the user whether a website contains scripts, or whether all or some of them are allowed or all are blocked. The extension deals with JavaScript, as well as dangerous (since programmatic) media types. Allowing a website either temporarily or permanently takes a single mouse-click. At the same time, the extension has various powerful whitelisting options for more advanced cases.
NoScript is under active development to address new attacks, and hence is frequently being updated (something that Firefox will propose to do automatically). Some settings are required for CERN websites, these are documented under http://cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LinuxSupport/NoScriptProblems.
Adblock Plus – no more "ads" (less malware too)
However if general advertisements are considered harmful, wouldn't we all be blind by now from traditional text media ads? In fact, the security problem associated with Web advertising is not the visual offences committed to attract our attention, or the occasional inappropriate content on otherwise harmless sites, or the privacy-violating tracking of users across the Web, but rather that the Web advertising industry breaks the "trust" relationship between a user and the website.
The key problem is "syndicated advertising": websites sell off a part of their Web page to other companies, who then sell it off again etc. and all of this via automated placement tools. This means that the website owner may have no idea who provides the publicity currently displayed on their site and the user will not be able to tell either. This mechanism has been abused in the past to quickly infect thousands of visitors to otherwise reputable sites, including high-profile sites such as MySpace, NHL.com, Canada.com and The Economist. In conclusion, browsing only to "safe" websites to avoid getting exposed to malware is an illusion.
The Firefox "Adblock Plus" extension implements blacklist-based filters even for non-scripted content such as images, and as such it is the natural complement to NoScript. Known advertising content is filtered (unless the user explicitly allows it, e.g. to support a particular site), this cuts down on the exposure to malicious content. As a positive side effect, pages typically load quicker and become much more readable.
A downside is that a lot of free Web content is being financed by advertising, and such filtering eventually might harm revenues to a point that some sites will have to shut down. At least at work, CERN users should not be a major contributor to such revenue, but the decision whether to be subjected to these adverts is with the user.
Default at CERN? Why not?
The user needs to be much more aware of what they are doing on the Web, and constantly take decisions on whom to trust. As such, these extensions are a potential support nightmare – the CERN helpdesk would not be able to cope with questions for every non-working website.
Another point is that these extensions tend to get updated quickly, and in bursts – this would not fit well in the standard IT update cycle (and take a lot of manpower). A centrally maintained extension installed on a machine prevents users from installing a more recent version themselves.
Lastly, the decision on whether to trust a site depends on the impact of an infection for a particular user. Taking these decisions centrally will lead to a bad compromise: too open for the truly security-conscious, too restricted for the people who'd just like "to get their job done". As an example, for technical reasons often a complete domain has to be trusted, even if only a single website merits that trust.
Altogether, this means that we will not be able to make this the default browsing environment. However, we would like to strongly encourage knowledgeable users to take advantage of the additional protection outlined above.

Lisa popped a question about styling stripes in unusual ways into the Suggestion Box, and as a bona-fide stripe addict, I'm thrilled to tackle it!
With florals
Although I'm still a pattern-mixing newbie, the pairing I feel most comfortable wearing is definitely stripes and florals. Make sure that both patterns include a common, dominant color so the mix appears cohesive. (In this case, both contain white.) If possible add another, solid item that draws out a color from one pattern or another. (In this case, the moto jacket!)
As outer layers
The classic is a simple, boat necked, Breton top. But stripes are showing up in cardigans, coats, blazers, and other outer layers and can make fabulous toppers. If you fear the potential figure-widening properties of horizontal stripes – which are grossly exaggerated, in my opinion – picking a striped top layer can allow you to cinch or otherwise accentuate a slimmer-fitting inner layer.
With serious jewelry
If pattern mixes feel too overwhelming but you'd like to try something bolder than a striped top and solid cardigan, try a big, chunky necklace or two. You can pick up a color within the striped pattern or stick to clear stones and classic metals, or go even bolder with a contrasting color.
With tough accents
Stripes are typically considered a preppy staple, but they're sliding quickly into neutral territory which means that they can play nicely off of other style genres. Try some tough boots, a motorcycle jacket, or big bold chain necklaces with your stripes.
In accessories
If striped garments feel too bold, consider accessories. OK, I know that striped tights are still pretty durned bold, but there are plenty of other options: Scarves, hats, socks, even handbags can bring some stripy goodness into your life!
What's your favorite way to wear stripes? Do you employ any of these techniques yourself? Others to suggest?

Comments about 'Zions Bank falls short on Federal Reserve 'stress test''

Zions need more quality leaders and employees. Scott Anderson and Harris Simmons can't carry the corporation alone. Having dealt with Zions for years, Scott, Harris and a couple of others are the only ones that really positively can influence this company. Literally, there is no bench strength at Zions. I think the cast was set when the First Security/Zions merger didn't happen. That was a bad day for Utahans and continues to this day.

Having dealt with Zion's bank for over 40 years of loans, and savings,
checking, and credit cards this bank has weathered everything that has come
along so they are doing something right that every other bank in Utah has failed
miserably as financial institutions.
I was very pleased at the failed bank merger with first security which was the bank in trouble trying to be bailed out by Zions. Having been a First Security patron also I understand why they failed, and wisdom not to merge blocked many problems.
Its a well known fact that the federal reserve is the least qualified financial institution in the world to judge the credibility and stability of any financial institution. I think their make or break failed point must have been based on the amount of line of credit that Zions has with the federal reserve was too low. If they don't need a high line of credit like most mismanaged business in Utah then that is a good sign they are not an at risk organization and deserves some credit for its historical ability to weather economic stressed disasters, something the feds and college grads are unable to accomplish.

So much for the idea that Salt Lake is a boomtown.
What's up with the commercial real estate weakness? It sort of makes you wonder what's going on with Hamilton and church real estate. And why are we building another tower? Just to have a Broadway-type theater? I hope not.

"Zions " bank needs to be stripped of it's presumptuous name.
Zion is a place where the people's hearts and minds are ONE and there are no poor among them.
And, they dwell in righteousness.
Banks of course, profit from the misfortune of others and there is MANY poor because of their banking practices.

I'm pleased to see that nearly all of the comments are honest and to the point. Zions is not (directly) Church owned, but they most certainly dance to the Tabernacle Choir. I say banks should be non-profit institutions. If they fail, let them fail. The notion of an institution that does nothing else than push digital numbers around is immoral. If Zions bank wants more bailout money, then they should go to the Tithe payers, not the tax payers.

Imagine if Obama Had Done This? (I heard about this on the radio this AM)
We would never hear the end of it, of course Obama would have been reported as walking on the water instead of piloting a jet ski in the water:
Massachusetts Governor Helps Rescue Boaters
Published: July 8, 2003
WOLFEBORO, N.H., July 7— Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts and two of his sons helped rescue a New Jersey family from a sinking boat over the weekend, a New Hampshire official said today.
The 19-foot vintage wooden boat with six people and a dog on board started taking on water Saturday evening about 300 yards from the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, in central New Hampshire, Sgt. Eric Robertson of the New Hampshire State Marine Patrol said.
"It took on water very quickly and they donned their life vests and jumped out," Sergeant Robertson said. One passenger tried to dial 911, but water soaked the cellphone, he said.
The Romneys, who were at their lakeside summer home in Wolfeboro, and other people in the area quickly came to the rescue.
"The Romneys took two of the passengers and brought them back to shore," Sergeant Robertson said. "There were other people, Good Samaritans, out there, about three vessels including the Romneys', helping out."
The governor's spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, said today that Governor Romney was vacationing at the lake for a week with his family.
"He's not looking for any special attention," Mr. Fehrnstrom said. "I think he's just grateful he was in the right place at the right time to be able to offer some assistance."
Josh Romney, one of the governor's sons, told The Boston Herald that he and his brother were cleaning the beach when they heard "a whole bunch of screaming" from the lake.
Mr. Fehrnstrom, who spoke to Governor Romney on Sunday about the incident, said the governor's two sons hopped on a motorized water scooter, while the governor got on another. They went to the sinking boat, and Governor Romney brought people to shore while his sons stood by at the scene. The Romneys also saved the family's dog, he said.
The boat was operated by Robert Morrissey, 57, of Tewksbury Township, N.J. Melinda Morrissey, 56, Mr. Morrissey's wife, was also rescued, as were Ross, 29, and Rebecca, 25, their children, and two of their friends, along with McKenzie, a Scotty, the family dog.
"This happened really, really fast," Mr. Morrissey said today in a telephone interview from New Hampshire. He said that when the boat began to sink, he dialed 911 on his cellphone. "As I'm making the call, the boat is going down under my feet."
He said the family was in the water for about a half-hour.
Mr. Fehrnstrom said the passengers were wearing life vests but added that "I think the larger danger would have been from other boats going by."
A boat motoring by as the survivors paddled in the water in the dark had come "close enough to cause some concern," he said.
Mr. Robertson said the passengers were uninjured and were fine after the rescue, because of the "good response of the people nearby."
"It's the rules of the high seas," Mr. Robertson said. "You help out who you can because you're on your own when you're in the water."

And why don't we hear about it over and over again? Methinks Mitt has some humility, and that is refreshing. Of course, the press will never bring this up either.
Now, if this were Obama, a full length movie would have been made. The story would have had him walking on the water in a full blown hurricane to save this family (who would have been a gay family or a family without a father at least). There would have been no other rescuers and Obama would have made the decision to go out on his own, a risky decision, one that had gravitas, and drama, and lots of pathos.

Junior Nick Schneeberger Posted His 12th Multi-Hit Game of the Season on Friday Versus UMBC
March 23, 2012

Senior N. Schneeberger Postgame Comments (Video) | Junior B. Boudreaux Postgame Comments (Video)
Junior A. Byo Postgame Comments (Video)
NEW ORLEANS - It was an all-around good performance by the Tulane baseball team in their 8-1 victory over the University of Maryland-Baltimore County on Friday (March 23) evening inside Greer Field at Turchin Stadium. The Green Wave piled up 13 hits and starting pitcher Alex Byo held UMBC off the scoreboard for seven innings to help TU extend their winning streak to four games.
"I thought we played really well defensively," said Tulane head coach Rick Jones. "I thought that we had a lot of chances there defensively where they could have really done some damage, but we made some really good defensive plays. Alex (Byo) on the mound, Jeremy (Schaffer) at first...and Garrett (Cannizaro) made a great play on a ball where he didn't panic. I thought we did a good job of taking the extra base when we were supposed to. We had thirteen hits, but we still are not cashing in, and you've got to give credit to the pitchers, but we're not cashing in in situations where I think we could really do some damage often enough."
Tulane (15-6) grabbed a pair of runs on four hits in the first inning against Retrievers starting pitcher Shane Vlasic. Brandon Boudreaux singled to start the inning and Nick Schneeberger walked three batters later to put runners on the corners. Frank Florio followed with a single to right field to plate the first run of the game and Blake Crohan reached on a sun-aided infield single which allowed Schneeberger to score from second.
The Olive and Blue added single runs in the second and third innings, before plating three more runs in the fourth. The run in the second inning came on a broken double steal, with Troy McCartney crossing the plate before Boudreaux was tagged out at second base. A Florio sacrifice fly accounted for the run in the third inning, while Garrett Cannizaro, Jeremy Schaffer and Schneeberger all collected RBIs in the fourth.
Brennan Middleton started the sixth inning with a bunt single and moved to third on a base hit by Boudreaux. Cannizaro then grounded into a double play that scored Middleton to make it an 8-0 lead.
Byo became the first Tulane starting pitcher to hold an opponent scoreless as he fanned six batters in seven run-free frames. The junior allowed just four hits - walking three - and threw 101 pitches to improve to 2-2 overall on the season. Tyler Mapes came on in relief and allowed one run on two hits in one and two-thirds innings of work and Greg Miller closed out the game on the mound with one-third of an inning and one walk.
"(Alex) battled through" said Jones. "He was struggling with his command after having nine days off. I thought the last couple (innings) he was much better with his command. But to his credit, he settled in."
UMBC (5-11) got on the board in the eighth inning when Max Himmelstein and advanced to third on a base hit by Brian Klukowicz. Tom Gilchrist followed with a sacrifice fly to account for all of the Retrievers offense on the night.
Schneeberger led all players with three hits - including a career-high two doubles - and drove in his 19th RBI of the season. Boudreaux extended his hitting streak to eight games with a pair of hits, scoring twice and walking once. Crohan and Middleton each chipped in two hits, while Schaffer had a hit, two walks and a pair of runs scored. Florio collected a game-high two RBIs and reached base twice.
The Olive and Blue will continue their series with UMBC on Saturday, March 24 starting at 2:00 and conclude the series on Sunday, March 25 at 11:00 a.m. Also, don't forget about Tulane's St. Baldricks event that will take place on Sunday, March 25 after the Green Wave's contest with UMBC.

- Tulane leads the all-time series, 4-0.
- Brandon Boudreaux extended his hitting streak to eight games with a leadoff single in the first inning.
- Nick Schneeberger posted his team-best 12 multi-hit game and 34th of his career of the season on Friday.
- Schneeberger set a career-high with two doubles in the contest.
- Four players posted multi-hit games on Friday versus UMBC, marking the tenth time in 2012 that four or more players posted multiple hits in the same game.
- Alex Byo is the first Tulane starting pitcher not to allow a run in a start this season, tossing seven scoreless frames with six strikeouts.
- Tulane struck out only once at the plate on Friday, walking five times.

Hoeven asks EPA to withdraw proposal
April 24, 2014
BISMARCK – Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., is asking the U.S....
Under EPA guidlines the driller would be responsible for filter socks until those r in an approved landfill. If ND had stipulated that in the beginning--there would not be a problem. A perfect example of why there is an EPA. Business is too often driven by greed alone. No ethics like so much of our ND Gov't.

BD: Hope u r not referring to the audits and scrutiny of non-profits. Say u hate the Gov't., hate taxes and want to start a non-profit for political sake. U just pushed 3 audit indicators at the IRS. Why were Dems. not scrutinized as much? because they don't say they hate the Gov't. and taxes. I agree there is overreach by some in the IRS and EPA but how does that explain the endless leaks and spills in the Bakken and markedly the recent continental spill near Medora that Hamm and company say they can't clean up. Any commoner would see jail for that kind of pollution. It may take the downstream landowners 4 any kind of cost to be charged to continental because hoeven seems to have kept the epa out of the bakken.

The point I got from this article is that the EPA's power is already too far-reaching, and this will just make it worse. Now the EPA will be able to decide if the cattle feces that ends up in the slough is harmful. If you think I'm using sarcasm, you're wrong. Do some research on all the things the EPA has had regulatory authority over but not regulated, as well as all the things they haven't had authority over that they've tried to regulate. It's a bit like the IRS, overzealously overreaching.

Frank, bet you have wondered about the excess in chemicals now being used in Farming? Let me see, in the "old" days, you tilled the soil, planted the crop with some granular fertilizer. Then, you sprayed for weeds and every once in while sprayed for Hoppers. Then, take off the crop and start tilling again. Now, we see them spray roundup before they seed. Then, anhydrous fertilizer and also granular. Now, spray for weeds, and sometimes for fungus. So, we cannot wait to harvest, so they sometimes give it another shot of Roundup before harvest. Hmmm, but, if they come back with seeding winter wheat, they will give it another dose of Roundup before planting in September. So, does any of this build up in the soil and track into the water system? Sure would not want the EPA to check into that if I were a farmer.

Seems when Hoeven isn't complaining about the Fed, he is blaming them 4 too little regulation--pipe leak at tioga and casselton train fire. "Responsible land management" is what he calls bakken oil development. What would the epa say about harold hamm's continental resources spill near Medora--the one they won't clean up?

Farm state leaders are reluctant to step in and do something about the fertilizers and ag chemicals washing into streams and aquifers, making them an unsafe source of water.

What a Pud. Hoven and the rest of his gaggle in Bismarck are scared to death that some responsible person will stop their polluting of the environment.

About a month ago I performed my latest composition in an Easter service. I started the project this last winter and was trying to depict an accurate story of Jesus' life through instrumental guitar and a slideshow presentation that included images and scripture. As I worked on the piece, the meaning of Jesus' life, death, and coming back to life took on a whole new depth for me. The piece became so powerful that it was difficult to practice. The music would take my mind to such new and…Continue

YouTube is a platform for independent musicians that provides worldwide exposure. Basically you upload a song and it is playing 24/7 for whoever in the world wants to watch it.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City-based charities Feed the Children and World Neighbors have announced a merger.
In a joint press release issued Tuesday, the two nonprofits announced that World Neighbors will become a subsidiary of Feed the Children, Inc.
Both charities have worked to serve some of the world's poorest communities. World Neighbors has focused primarily on long-term solutions, rather than short-term aid, by working with local villagers to help them identify and solve their own problems.
According to the release, World Neighbors will continue to operate in the same capacity, while Feed the Children will assume responsibility for administrative support functions.
Feed the Children President and CEO Kevin Hagan says the collaboration will allow both charities to "better provide emergency relief and long-term solutions for impoverished communities."

For the past three seasons, "Revenge" has been focused on Emily getting revenge for what happened to her father. The season 3 finale was full of surprises and with Conrad presumed dead and Victoria in a psych ward, what is going to happen next? It turns out that "Revenge" season 4 will be a bit different and on May 12, E! Online revealed one interesting change.
In the past, Emily was narrating during the show. However, the next season will switch things up a bit and instead have Victoria narrating. The story will be told from Victoria's point of view. Even though Emily has seemingly won her battle against the Grayson's, Victoria will no doubt try to take down Emily.
The season finale shocked fans, especially with the revelation that David Clarke is actually alive. While this has been speculated by some fans for a while now, it was still a shock to actually see him appear on screen, alive and well. This is one twist that will be interesting to see played out in season 4 of "Revenge."
WetPaint reported that David Clarke will be seen quite a bit when the show returns. Showrunner Sunil Nayar said that revenge has become part of David's makeup and that he is no longer about forgiveness. Viewers are going to want to know where he has been and if he is the man that Emily remembers or if Victoria's description of him was more accurate.
One thing that Nayar said is that they can't wait to tell the stories revolving around David Clarke in season 4. It sounds like the season will be focused on him. However, with Victoria narrating, she has to be part of the story somehow. Fans will have to wait until next season airs to find out what she will do.
What did you think of the season finale? What do you think will happen with Emily Thorne, David Clarke and Victoria Grayson in "Revenge" season 4?

The winningest coach in Arizona women's basketball history, Joan Bonvicini has taken the Wildcat program from obscurity into the national limelight. In her 15 seasons at the helm, Bonvicini has guided the Wildcats to nine postseason appearances, including seven NCAA Tournament berths and a WNIT Championship.
One of the most respected coaches in the game, Bonvicini was chosen in 1991 to direct The University of Arizona's dormant women's basketball program into the next decade. Since her arrival, she has taken the Wildcat program and turned it upside down. The team, never before linked with the Pac-10 Conference powers, is now among the feared competitors in the league. Attendance has skyrocketed ?- Arizona ranks among the conference leaders ?- and nationally recognized recruits are visiting Arizona and signing on to play.
Under Bonvicini's tutelage, the Wildcats have finished in the upper tier of the Pac-10 in nine of the last 11 years, and in 2003-04 won a share of the conference regular-season title for the first time in school history. During this time, Arizona has been nationally ranked multiple times, including a best ever ranking of No. 7 in 1998.
Bonvicini's success is mirrored in her players' accolades. She has produced one All-American, five honorable mention All-America selections, a Pac-10 Player of the Year, three Pac-10 Freshmen of the Year, 22 All-Pac-10 honorees, 17 Pac-10 All-Freshman Team choices and 14 Academic All-Pac-10 selections.
Bonvicini herself has earned her share of laurels, having three times been a finalist for the Naismith College Coach of the Year Award and the Associated Press College Coach of the Year Award. She was also the 1998 WBCA Region 8 and Pac-10 Coach of the Year.
Bonvicini holds a 266-182 (.594) mark at Arizona and is 591-253 (.700) in 27 years as a head coach. She has a career record of 24-17 in NCAA Tournament play and has lost just two first-round games in 17 tourney appearances.
Throughout Bonvicini's tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have re-written the women's basketball record book and have chalked up many historical moments.
Last season, Bonvicini faced the biggest challenge of her coaching career as she was forced to lead the Wildcats through the season after the unexpected death of three-time honorable mention All-American Shawntinice Polk. Without a significant inside presence, Arizona posted an 8-22 record, the lowest win total in Bonvicini's tenure.
During the 2004-05 season, despite being riddled with injuries, Bonvicini led the Wildcats to their eighth 20-win season in 10 years, as the team went 20-12 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In 2003-04, the team had the program's best season in four years, garnering a 24-9 overall record and making its second-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats tied the program's best-ever conference record with a 14-4 mark in Pac-10 play, tying Stanford for the regular-season title and earning the program's first-ever conference championship.
The 2004 Cats tied or broke 36 school records, including best home record (14-0), most field goals made in a season (919) and most individual rebounds in a season (Shawntinice Polk, 339).
After an "off" season with a 14-14 mark in 2001-02, Bonvicini brought her Wildcats roaring back onto the national scene in 2002-03. The team went 22-9 and earned the most victories for any squad in three years. The Cats were 13-5 in Pac-10 play and finished in a tie for second place with Washington. The Cats were runners-up in the second annual Pac-10 Conference Tournament and earned an at-large bid to the 2003 NCAA Tournament, making the Big Dance for the first time since the 1999-2000 season.
During the 2000-01 season, Bonvicini guided a young and inexperienced group of Wildcats through a season of adversity to garner a 20-12 mark. The Cats tied the 2000 team for the best start (14-2) in the history of the program and set or tied 39 school records.
In the summer of 2001, Bonvicini took her team on a 16-day tour of Italy, their second such visit to that country. The squad earned a 5-1 mark on that trip, even though only seven Wildcats were available to play.
The 1999-2000 squad finished in the top four of the Pac-10 for the fifth consecutive year and earned the program's fourth straight NCAA bid. The Cats finished the year with a 25-7 mark, the best overall record in the history of the program. Arizona went 13-5 in Pac-10 play, tying for second place and equaling the team's highest conference finish ever.
Despite having what some considered a "rebuilding" year in 1999, Bonvicini guided the Cats to their third NCAA Tournament appearance in as many years. That young, inexperienced squad garnered an 18-11 record and finished fourth in the league standings.
During the summer of 1997, Bonvicini took the Wildcats on a first-ever trip to Australia, in order to prep them for an important upcoming 1998 season. Despite facing experienced international talent, she directed the Cats to a 7-1 mark over the 18-day tour.
That trip provided the Wildcats with a vital bonding experience that stuck with them into the 1997-98 season and aided in the program's then best-ever Pac-10 mark of 14-4. Arizona, which tied UCLA for second in the league standings, finished the regular season with a 21-6 record -- the program's fewest number of losses in 23 years.
Bonvicini's 1998 Wildcats had one All-American, one All-Pac-10 honoree, four honorable mention All-Pac-10 players and one Pac-10 All-Freshman Team member, as well as the Pac-10 Player of the Year. Nominated for both Naismith College Coach of the Year and Associated Press Coach of the Year, Bonvicini capped the regular season by earning her first-ever Pac-10 Coach of the Year honors. She then led Arizona women's basketball further into uncharted territory, as the Wildcats made the Sweet 16 while in only their second-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
After finishing the 1997 season with a school-record 22 regular-season wins, Bonvicini's Wildcats earned the school's first bid to the NCAA Tournament. A win over Western Kentucky in the first game maintained Bonvicini's undefeated record in first-round NCAA competition, and the Cats went on to strongly challenge No. 6 Georgia in the second round.
In 1996, Bonvicini's team made Wildcat history with their first-ever postseason appearance, where they brought home the WNIT Championship trophy.
In the summer of 1993, Bonvicini took her team on a 13-day, six-game tour of France and Italy. It was a first for any women's team at Arizona and the results paid off. The team formed a cohesive unit entering the 1993-94 season, opening with a four-game winning streak that was snapped only by a two-point loss to No. 1 Tennessee in McKale Memorial Center. The team finished with the most victories since 1986 and the most Pacific-10 Conference wins ever at the time.
In Bonvicini's second season, the 1992-93 campaign, the Cats produced the most victories by an Arizona squad since 1986. They split every Pac-10 road trip, upset No. 23 California and won at UCLA for the first time ever. Crowd support was at an all-time high as the Cats ranked third in the Pac-10 in attendance.
In 1991-92, her first season with the Cats, Bonvicini brought fans out in record numbers. Attendance nearly tripled, and the spirited coach led her team to upsets over her former team, No. 25 Long Beach State, and its first-ever win over Washington.
Bonvicini has implemented a recruiting effort that sweeps the nation; she and her assistants spend countless hours and thousands of miles criss-crossing the country looking for the nation's finest talent. Her first true recruiting class, in 1992, was ranked seventh in the nation by the Blue Star Report. In 1994, Bonvicini had what she called her "finest recruiting class" since arriving in Tucson. It proved to be true as Adia Barnes was named Pac-10 Conference Freshman of the Year in 1995, and in 1998 was chosen the Pac-10 Player of the Year, as well as a third team All-American. The members of that recruiting class graduated years ago, but they will forever be remembered as the foundation upon which a nationally-prominent Arizona women's basketball program was built.
Bonvicini came to Arizona after concluding a 12-year tenure at Long Beach State, where she compiled a record of 325-71 (.820). Her teams captured 10 Big West Conference titles, never winning less than 24 games in a season.
During her tenure, the 49ers made 10 straight NCAA Tournament appearances and reached the elite level twice, appearing in the Final Four during both the 1987 and 1988 seasons. Her teams were ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll each year, staying in the Top 10 every year but one. The 1985 squad finished the season at No. 3 with a 28-3 record.
Bonvicini's players earned recognition as well. Among her players at Long Beach were 1983 Wade Trophy winner and three-time first team All-American LaTaunya Pollard, two-time first team All-American and 1988 U.S. Olympic Team member Cindy Brown, 1985 first team All-American Kirsten Cummings and two-time first team All-American Penny Toler.
Many of Bonvicini's former players have gone on to play at the professional level. Five former Wildcats have been drafted by WNBA teams since 1997, including Barnes, who was a starter for the WNBA Seattle Storm during the 2003 season. Toler is the general manager for the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks.
Bonvicini began her coaching career upon graduation from Southern Connecticut State. An East Coast native, she moved west to serve as an assistant coach at Cal Poly-Pomona in Southern California. From there, she was hired as an assistant at Long Beach State and after two years, at age 25, was promoted to head coach in 1979.
In her second year as a head coach, Bonvicini went 27-7 and was named the 1981 NCAA Division I Coach of the Year. Following the 1985-86 season, she was named the Region VIII and PCAA Coach of the Year. She earned WCAA Coach of the Year honors in 1984 and was also honored as the 1989 "Citizen of the Year" in Long Beach.
In 1993, she was selected as head coach of the United States World University Games team. She guided the squad to a bronze medal in the first games to be held in the U.S. She served as a member of the selection committee for the USA Olympic Basketball Team and spent the summer of 1991 as an assistant coach for the U.S. Pan American Team.
In 1990, she guided the U.S. Select Team to a 5-1 record in international play. In 1981, Bonvicini was head coach of the West squad in the U.S. Olympic Festival and in 1982 was an assistant on the U.S. National Team.
Bonvicini has made the rounds on the international circuit as well. During the summer of 1996, Bonvicini was selected to be the head coach of the Pac-10 All-Star Team that toured Japan. The group spent 10 days touring Japan and competing against the Japanese All-Star Team.
She was an at-large representative to the USA Games Committee for Women for the 1989-92 quadrennium and has been a part of selection committees for the U.S. Olympic Festival, World Championships, Pan American Games, World University Games and the Olympics. She served as president of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association in 1988.
Bonvicini does not confine her skills to the court. She travels the speakers' circuit tirelessly and has participated in numerous basketball seminars and camps, including stints as a guest instructor in Italy. She was a member of the women's basketball NCAA Rules Committee from 1994-98, is currently on the board of directors for the Boys and Girls Club of Tucson, and is a former member of the Tucson Area Girl Scouts board.
A 1975 graduate of Southern Connecticut State, Bonvicini, a guard, led her teams to third- and fourth-place finishes in the 1974 and '75 AIAW Championships. She earned 1975 Region I-A MVP and honorable mention All-America honors and was a finalist for the 1976 U.S. Olympic Basketball Team.
Bonvicini was inducted as a player into the Southern Connecticut State University Hall of Fame in 1989 and the Connecticut Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 1994. In October of 1996, she was inducted as a coach into the Long Beach State University Hall of Fame, and in October of 2005, she was inducted into the Pima County Sports Hall of Fame. She was also honored by the National Organization for Women (NOW) with the 2004 Woman of Courage Award.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is defending its "marketing of firearms to children," and it is doing so by promoting the sale of firearms to children through one of its media mouthpieces, Glenn Beck and his website, TheBlaze.com. The NRA is a lobbying organization that claims to defend the Second Amendment and the rights of gun owners, but in reality is in the business of representing and promoting "gun manufacturers." TheBlaze.com took issue yesterday with Rep. Robin Kelly's (D-IL) introduction of a bill to force companies to stop marketing firearms to children.
Rep. Kelly responded to the years of the NRA sponsoring of the marketing and selling firearms to children. Rep. Kelly introduced H.R. 5093, The Children's Firearm Marketing Act. The proposed law prohibits the marketing of firearms to children and teens, as is the law as it relates to the marketing and sales of tobacco products. The United States Surgeon General said in the 2014 report, "5.6 million of today's children will ultimately die early from smoking if we do not do more to reduce current smoking rates."
"As a result of tobacco industry marketing and other influences, more than 3,200 children younger than the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette every day," reported the Surgeon General. Today, about half of all the children between ages 3 and 18 years in this country are exposed to cigarette smoke regularly, either at home or in places such as restaurants that still allow smoking.
Rep. Kelly sees the same damaging influence on children when it comes to firearms. In an exclusive interview with the National White House Examiner, Rep. Kelly said, "Much like manufacturers of tobacco products are prohibited from marketing their products to children, I believe there should be similar protections against the marketing of guns to children." Kelly added, "When you have gun companies making pink and zebra-striped guns or using cartoon characters to sell guns, you run the risk of children mistaking real firearms for toy guns with dangerous consequences."
Rep. Kelly addressed the issue of protecting children from gun violence. Not all gun violence is intentional, but accidental. Not surprisingly, "The 2014 Kelly Report on Gun Violence in America," (also known as the "Kelly Report"), showed that children are at a higher rate of risk when guns are in the home. The "Kelly Report," which is the first-ever Congressional analysis of the nation's gun violence epidemic that offers a blueprint for ending the violence with guns crisis in America, addressed the issue over and over again.
Results show that our unintentional firearm death rate is more than five times higher than that of the other high-income countries. Our children and young adults are comparatively at highest relative risk — they have over 10 times the risk of dying from an accidental shooting compared with children and young adults in these other countries. There is no reason to expect substitution here — e.g., that if the victims had been not accidentally shot they would instead likely have died from an accidental drowning or an accidental fall.
In an astonishing finding, the "Kelly Report" found, "American children are at significantly greater risk of being killed by a firearm than their counterparts in other nations. They are four times more likely to be killed by a gun than Canadian children, seven times more likely than Israeli children and an astonishing 65 times more likely than British children."
Groups like the NRA like to argue that the solution to the large number of gun deaths is to "educate the gun-owning population and those who live with them (e.g. their children) to act carefully in the presence of guns." The NRA has presented the false narrative that "safety training" reduces accidental gun deaths of children. The Kelly Report disputes this assertion, saying, "Such a reliance on safety training is misplaced. Understandably, children act like children, even after they have been instructed about the dangers of guns. Even those who provide gun safety education are subject to error. Recently, in Maryland a police trainer in firearm safety accidentally shot a police cadet in the head."
Po Murray, Vice Chairman, Newtown Action Alliance & The Newtown Foundation, writes in the "Kelly Report" that state legislators in "Connecticut and Governor Dannel Malloy listened to the reasonable voices of thousands of Connecticut citizens and, in April 2013, passed a sweeping gun violence prevention reform package entitled 'An Act Concerning Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety.' The reform package includes a ban on sales of assault weapons and high capacity magazines (more than 10 rounds); universal background checks on all firearm sales and transfers; permit requirements for long gun and ammunition purchases; and includes strengthening firearm storage requirements and penalties for fire- arm trafficking offenses. As a result, the Brady Campaign to Pre- vent Gun Violence and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence has ranked the state of Connecticut second in the nation for having the strongest gun laws."
Other states have followed suite. New York, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Colorado immediately mobilized to strengthen their state gun laws following the shootings at Sandy Hook.
In May of 2013, in Burkesville, Kentucky, five-year old Kristian Sparks killed his 2-year-old sister with a gun marketed for children as "My First Rifle," reported the New York Times. The firearm, a Davey Crickett single shot .22 caliber youth rifle, was manufactured by Keystone Sporting Arms. The authorities said at the time the shooting was an accident. However, Rep. Kelly argues that a federal law is needed to protect children like Kristian Spark's sister.
H.R. 5093, The Children's Firearm Marketing Act, would permit the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Consumer Product Safety Commission to regulate guns as a consumer product and determine what constitutes marketing firearms to children. The bill would also allow the FTC or CPSC to work with states attorneys general to enforce the ban.
Rep. Kelly's bill would also:
• Prohibit the use of cartoon characters to promote firearms and firearm products.
• Prohibit firearm brand name merchandise for children (e.g., hats, t-shirts, stuffed-animals)
• Prohibit advertisers from conducting marketing campaigns with the intent to appeal to children under the age of 18. Note: federal law prohibits the sale of a gun to anyone under 18, so marketing campaigns targeting age groups beneath this level should be prohibited.
• Prohibit the manufacturing of guns with colors and designs that appeal to children. (See below)
• Prohibits the manufacturing of guns intended for use by children, that do not clearly and conspicuously note the risk posed by the firearm by labeling somewhere on the firearm that it is "a real gun, not a toy" an "actual firearm which may result in death or injury" and/or "a dangerous weapon."

Final Stats
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The 32nd-ranked men's tennis team fell 6-1 to No. 7 Florida at Linder Stadium in the Ring Tennis Complex. With the loss, the Crimson Tide dips to 7-8 on the season and 1-3 against Southeastern Conference opponents, while the Gators improve to 12-2 overall and 4-0 in league play.
"Florida played a good match today, but I was also pleased with the way we competed," head coach Billy Pate said. "It was a close doubles point, and we had opportunities in the first sets of singles matches which we didn't convert. We're hitting the ball well and getting better each match, so I'm encouraged with the opportunities we have ahead."
Florida picked up the early point with wins at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles, but it wouldn't come easily. The 16th-ranked pair of senior Antoine Benneteau and junior Alexandre Lacroix earned an 8-3 win on court one over Alabama senior Saketh Myneni and sophomore Michael Davis, however the matches on the other two courts came down to the wire. The Tide sophomore duo of Ricky Doverspike and Michael Davis was on serve with Gator freshman Sekou Bangoura Jr. and sophomore Joey Burkhardt right to the end until the Florida pair was able to score the final two points for the 9-7 win. On court three, Alabama junior Trey Walston and freshman Jarryd Botha came back from being down 6-3 to grab the Tide's lone win in doubles by a 9-7 decision over Florida senior Daniel Cash and freshman Bob Van Overbeek.
First off the courts in singles was the matchup at No. 3 where 121st-ranked Benneteau picked up a 6-4, 6-2 win over Botha to give the Gators the 2-0 lead. Doverspike gave Alabama its first point of the afternoon with a dominant 6-1, 6-4 victory over Burkhardt at the No. 2 spot. Florida's next win came on court four as Van Overbeek posted a 6-2, 6-4 decision over Thompson placing the Gators within one of the overall dual match victory. Florida clinched the match nearly 20 minutes later as Bengoura Jr. won 6-3, 6-3 over senior Houssam Yassine at No. 5.
The two teams attempted to play out the two matches still on court at No. 1 and No. 6, but the contest on court one was shortened as No. 38 Myneni retired handing sixth-ranked Lacroix a 6-4, 4-6, 3-3 win. Tide freshman Ian Chadwell was also in a third-set battle with Gator sophomore Nassim Slilam where the Alabama netter fell in a first set tiebreaker 7-3 to come back and take the second frame 6-3. It would be Slilam, however, that would win the third by a score of 6-3 for the victory at No. 6.
Alabama returns to action on Sunday, March 21 when it plays at Vanderbilt. First serve is slated for 1:00 p.m. (CST).

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Are Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudice still together and engaged? The Bachelor Spoilers 2013 revealed today an update about that mystery Sean Lowe letter that fans will see in the Final Rose ceremony coming up this month. RealitySteve long ago answered uncertainty about who wins the Bachelor 2013. While Catherine Giudice's win is not a mystery, the letter coming to Sean Lowe in the Final Rose still is prompting debate.
Back in February, Steve told news his reaction to the Sean Lowe letter. Steve made three points. First, he asserted that the sender of the letter has yet to be leaked to news. Second, the date in which the letter was sent to Sean remains unclear. And third he said the letter has no impact on who wins the Bachelor 2013.
RealitySteve assured news at the time that the letter does not have "any sort of major effect" on the outcome of the show. "I can almost guarantee you that letter is not as big of deal as they're making it out to be … we already know the ending, and we know that Sean is still engaged".
On Tuesday night, fans asked Steve again if he had any news further about the letter. He assured viewers that "I do not know who wrote Sean the Letter". He said however that is is now virtually "positive that the letter isn't nearly as important as the show is making out to be". He also reassured news that Sean is still together with Catherine and still engaged.

But who sent the Sean Lowe letter? One unconfirmed news report claims that the letter might be from Tierra Ann LiCausi. Yet Steve reassures news today "So no matter who sent the letter, what it said, or when it was delivered, it doesn't change the bottom line".

'Never in its nearly 90-year history had the National Braille Press undertaken a project as large as the one it completed in 2011,' writes James Sullivan this recent Boston Globe article.
Creating a Braille edition of the 1,600-page "New American Bible,'' with its freshly approved revisions by the US Catholic Bishops Conference, was something else entirely.
Commissioned by New York's Xavier Society for the Blind, the full run, destined for private homes, consisted of 150 copies. To mark the occasion, a set was presented to Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican in 2011.
An affiliate of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New York, Xavier Society for the Blind was founded in 1900 by the Jesuit priest, Rev. Joseph Stadelman, SJ, and a group of lay women as the only Catholic publishing house to make writings on religion and spirituality available to the blind.
One of its first major undertakings was to transcribe the Bible into Braille. It also became the first to transcribe the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church into Braille.
Now, as it receives U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops approval, it adds Braille translations of Scripture, readings and prayers. By adding large print, records, audio cassette and most recently digital formats to its Braille offerings free of charge, Xavier Society for the Blind continues its pioneering mission of providing services so that those without sight may see.
Although the Xavier Society paid about $1,400 per copy to produce "The New American Bible," these books are given away to families with a certified sightless person in the household, says Margaret O'Brien, the organization's operations manager.
She adds that although mainstreaming of blind children into public schools, which began in earnest in the 1970s, served an undeniable social benefit, it significantly hurt Braille literacy. Literacy rates for blind students plunged from 50-60 percent to about 12 percent today, says National Braile Press president Brian MacDonald.
Meanwhile, with technological advances such as talking books and screen-reader software, students were being told they would no longer need to read Braille.
'We know today that was a big mistake,' said MacDonald.
Seventy-four percent of blind adults are unemployed, he said. Of those who do have jobs, the vast majority are Braille readers.
'There's such a strong correlation,' he said. 'Investing in kids understanding Braille is an investment in them becoming taxpayers, ultimately. That's a big deal.'

Is ABC's "The Bachelor" franchise getting ready to throw viewers a curveball? While the long running reality romance show typically recycles a cast member from the previous season for the coveted starring role on the next cycle of the show, reports are surfacing that "Bachelorette" alum Arie Luyendyk Jr. (from two seasons ago!) is being considered as the series next star.
On Tuesday, Radar Online reported that the popular race car driver, first seen on Emily Maynard's season of "The Bachelorette" back in 2012, is definitely in in the running to be the next "Bachelor" star. A source told Radar that footage has already been shot at Luyendyk's home in Arizona and that he has been working with a personal trainer to get into tip top shape for his possible TV stint.
The Indy series champ is one of the most vocal show alums. After his runner-up stint on Maynard's season of "The Bachelorette," he went on to compete on the "Bachelor Pad" spinoff, and he still regularly tweets about the ABC franchise.
But why the two-year wait to sign the race car driver? Following his reign on Maynard's season of the show, Luyendyk had a busy dating life. He's been linked to show alums Courtney Robertson (Ben Flajnik's final pick and former fiancé) and Selma Alameri. But he most certainly would have been open to the role in 2012 if producers hadn't cast one of his rivals instead.
At the time, Luyendyk told CupidsPulse.com, "I think I would [do it] if it didn't conflict with racing and if I wasn't dating anyone." The role eventually went to Sean Lowe, and producers got a bona fide 'Bachelor" wedding to boot. (Lowe married his finale pick, Catherine Giudici, earlier this year.)
Of course, Luyendyk has some serious competition for "The Bachelor" role once again. Chris Soules, the 32-year-old Iowa farmer who was recently rejected by Andi Dorfman on the current cycle of "The Bachelorette," is one of the front runners to become the next "Bachelor" star. And he's already gone on record as saying he'd jump at the chance to meet 25 women on the ABC dating show, even telling Yahoo TV it would be a "no-brainer" for him to sign on.
While Soules maintains that producers "certainly haven't asked me… no one official has even mentioned it," it will be a close race between these two fan favorites. And following last season's Juan Pablo Galavis fiasco, producers will definitely want to make sure they pick the right guy.
