Northern Illinois track & field student-athlete Kaylee Walters is spending her summer in Saint Louis, Senegal. While there, she is volunteering at a school for underprivileged children, and helping out a local track team. Saint Louis is in the northern region (see a map) of Senegal, which is located on the west coast of Africa.
July 21, 2009
One week from today, and I will be waiting at the airport to come home. I seriously can't believe two months has gone by so quickly. It quite literally feels like I dreamed the last two months as opposed to actually living them.
Lompoul, although a little too touristy, was fantastic. The desert was beautiful. I'm not sure how long ago, but trees were planted around the desert to keep it from spreading, so although it isn't as expansive as the Sahara, it was certainly a good desert experience. We went camel riding, running on the massive sand dunes, ate some magnificent Mauritanian/Moroccan style food....and then to my horror, the biggest spider I've ever seen in my life. I get scared of the tiny ones back home, and I don't think I'll ever complain again. When I get back home, I will post a picture of it - it's the size of my hand spread out, no joke.
This week is really busy since I'm trying to get in everything last minute. This week I'm shopping for shirts, shorts, and bananas for the 15 Talibe that Projects Abroad works with, getting henna done by my closest Senegalese friend, going to the beach a last time, going to my favorite restaurant here that is under tents and served Moroccan style, and spending all of Sunday with my host family. So, even though I'm very excited to come home, I have quite a lot to do within the week. I guess that means time will just go by even faster!
I've compiled a list of things that might be interesting to read: things that I will miss....and of course the things I won't miss.
Things I won't miss:
- walking through streets so uneven and sandy that it's essentially like walking on a beach
- hearing "Toubab" (Westerner) about every 15 seconds while walking through town
- marriage proposals and stalkers
- garbage everywhere on the ground
- Thieboudienn (the national dish)
- goat meat. ew.
- showering locker room-style and with cold water
- taking showers so fast and swatting at mosquitoes the entire time
- having to "pop a squat" every time to use the bathroom....sometimes digging a hole, depending on where you are.
- having oily food shoved down my throat.
- baguette and instant coffee for breakfast every day
- living in a never-ending supplies of sand
- expensive shopping that I originally thought was cheap
- the Senegalese song "Manna" that is played multiple times throughout the day
- cockroaches, spiders, cats, mice, and lizards visiting my room at night
- the way businesses are run here: you are responsible for being polite to the owner of the store and waiting for them to invite you in, as well as for having the exact change ready. if you don't have exact change, don't expect to get anything back.
- above all, I will not miss the smell of Senegal
Things that I WILL miss:
- fabric shopping
- watching storms
- hearing the calls to prayer on loudspeaker throughout the entire city and throughout the entire day
- living simply and producing little to no waste
- ...although it was on the list for not missing, it is also here: Thieboudienn
- fresh fruit at every corner
- delicious roasted peanuts at every corner for a ridiculously cheap price
- the patisserie on the island
- riding around in the worst taxis and cars on the planet
- bissap and baobob juice
- Senegalese music
- hearing Akon's "make love right now now now" at least twice a day
- reading all day
- experiencing the odd combination of African, Muslim, and French culture.
- my host family....
- all of my students....
- definitely will miss Gnagna, one of the best people I've ever met in my life. She represents and expresses everything good about Senegal

Are there any significant Post-Story dungeons or quest that are worth doing. I feel as though the game is over aside from some quest cleanup. Is there any specific extremely challenging dungeons or quests?
For example, in Torchlight the Dungeon went on infinitley and scaled as such. So building your skills and gear mattered to see how far down you can go. This game doesn't seem to have any sort of challenge like that.

Instagram, the widely used and well loved mobile photo sharing application, is quickly becoming a great resource to find vintage clothes, accessories, shoes, and more. Since Instagram is a visual sharing platform of pictures (and recently videos, as well), it is ideal for users in the fashion world. Many of these fashionistas use the social Instagram for "outfit of the day (ootd)" posts, and sellers of vintage goods have caught on, as well. Many of this writer's favorite local Nashville antique shops, Old Made Good (@oldmadegood), KariBeth jewelry (@karibethjewelry) and Erabellum (@erabellum), post new items often. Users can like and share the shops' pictures, and even arrange for purchasing items they see- all with a touch of their phone! Customers can search Instagram using hashtags, and most shops use tags such as, #vintage, #vintagefashion, or specific listings like, #vintagewedgeheels, so it is easy to find whatever you're looking for. That said, Instagram can also be accessed on desktop platforms, which gives a great overviews of a store's offerings. This is a fantastic way to check out shops if you are traveling or looking for something specific. You can also follow me @modestyling.

"Helping Patients with Weight Loss" (July, http://bit.ly/p8SMqK) is an excellent guide to the basics of weight loss and key behavior modifications. However, I was disappointed to find only one short paragraph on the emotional aspects of eating.
Many in our culture have developed a strong emotional attachment to food as a way to comfort themselves. This act of self-medicating brings temporary relief from anxiety and stressful situations but leads to eating too much—and, often, to eating too much high-calorie food.
I'd love to see a follow-up article that focuses on managing stress and negative emotions using techniques such as meditation and relaxation, exercise, yoga, and counseling. Combined with the useful tips in this AJN article, such information could help to combat a national health problem.

This is a side story in the Kara no Kyoukai series that follows Ryougi Shiki as she battles against the Bomberman, a terrorist who can see the future. As usual with a Kara no Kyoukai movie, the fighting is restricted to a small portion of the movie. Unfortunately, the battle in this movie is practically non-existent, so expect just a lot of talking from this. Honestly, I thought the most intense scene in the movie was when they showed the scene of the Bomberman throwing a soda can through a crowd into the trash.
In addition to the story with Shiki and the Bomberman, there are interlaced scenes with Kokutou Mikiya as he talks with Seo Shizune, a girl who can also see the future. These scenes seemed just like extra and didn't really seem to add all that much to the movie. If anything, they just demonstrated a different type of future-sight, but I saw little reason for her existence.
That being said, I was really intrigued by the discussion of future-sight in this movie. It introduces the idea of two different types of future-sight, both of which actually sound very down-to-earth and less supernatural. The first type is prediction, which is essentially seeing a future based on subconscious input from your surroundings. The second type is premonition, which is basically seeing a future and then carrying it out with your own actions. They were very interesting concepts in an otherwise slow movie. These actually play a large role in the battle against the Bomberman.
And then, of course, there's Mana, but I won't dwell too much on her. She's basically just fan service. Music of the show was great as I would expect. There's also a pretty interesting scene at the very end of the movie which I could only interpret as a flashback of the second Shiki (the one who disappeared) talking to a fortuneteller who predicts her death. Compared to other movies in the Kara no Kyoukai franchise, I'd say this movie was probably about average…maybe a bit better if you find future-sight as interesting as I do.

With the launch of Libertine in the old Cafeteria space in Uptown, Parasole has put James Beard Award winner Tim McKee front and center. He's been with the company as VP of culinary for a few years, but this marks the first concept that is a McKee project from soup to nuts. It's a sophisticated, modern revamp with lots of wood and industrial accents. The bar is front and center in what is basically an upscale gastropub where meat is the star. Alternative cuts (such as bacon chop and lamb saddle) and innovative dishes like this beef bacon BLT are priced and flavored for the neighborhood of cocktail drinkers and apartment dwellers, making this a chophouse for the selfie set.

Members of the Board of Trustees, colleagues, guests, family members, and students welcomed President Byron D. Clift Breland, Ph.D. as he received the presidential medal engraved with the San Jose City College seal on August 28, 2014 in the College Theater.
Vice President of Academic Affairs, Investiture Team at San Jose City College (SJCC) Duncan Graham said, "I am very excited the appointment of the new president is a real tipping point for doing some real great things here at SJCC". This symbolic initiation involves the Chancellor and Board of Trustees handing over the mantle of the college over to the new college or university president's care. Graham said, "The planning committee in keeping with tradition put together a stage that was symbolic to the culture in which to celebrate the first year that a new president of a college or University takes the job".
Guests and students with more than 300 RSVP's attended the 2014 Investiture of SJCC's new college president. A reception was held in the Art Gallery with a live Jazz band welcoming guests. Retired San Jose Council member Forest William said, "I met the president when he first started working at the college". William's and his wife joined the event to help celebrate the new hire of SJCC President Breland. Williams said, "Based on what he has done so far, I support him," After sitting on an advisory board for SJCC, Williams met Breland when he had just started as the interim president at the college. Williams said. "Knowing the great work he has done, makes his appointment worth while".
Sam Ho, Director of Community Relations, EEO & Diversity said, "The steps for hiring the president required several steps". Ho said, "The first step required each applicant to be screened by a committee of constituents, faculty and staff". Committee members looked at applications submitted to the college and vetted several of the applicants. Ho said, "In turn they conducted a two-tier interview session". By refining their search they were able to propose a final candidate to the Chancellor of SJCC which in turn submitted their candidate to the Board of Trustees. "Dr. Breland was recommended for hire by the Board of Trustees in May of 2014," Ho said.
Rita M. Cepeda, Chancellor of San Jose Evergreen Community College District (SJEVCD) said, "The investiture of the president is an academic tradition carried on by SJCC". "The formal ceremony has long been a time honored tradition celebrating the first year of official employment by the president. "The faculty, staff and students move ahead with the official recognition of the president's academic leadership," Cepeda said. The ceremony celebrated the new vision and academic leadership expected to be carried out by the newly appointed president of the college.
SJCC began teaching students in 1921 and now reaches more than twenty-thousand students a year. Trustee Dr. Jeffrey Lease said, "We are committed to the idea of diversity and we believe we have found the right man to lead". Evergreen Valley College President Henry Yong said, "It is my pleasure to congratulate Breland as President, and I look forward to his journey".
Others also joined the celebration to commemorate the hard work that he has shown within the last year as interim president. SJEVCD Workforce Institute Executive Director Carol Coen said, "The appointment of President Breland bridges the regional skills gap, and ensures that all students especially those that have educational and social economic challenges have the skills and capabilities of success in the next stage of life". The goals of the college are to help develop opportunities for those in lower class neighborhoods to develop a strong working class. Coen said, "The goal is to work forward and develop skills leading to 21-century capabilities in the work force".
For others the appointment of President Beland means an end to the revolving door of presidents who have joined the ranks of SJCC and then left abruptly after serving for a short period of time. The Principal of Branham High School Brian Thompson said, "Our obligation is to keep doors open for our students". "Despite progress or lack of progress, the tradition of a college is met with the challenges of new leadership," Thompson said. "This means open access, quality in education, and active participation in a global society".
SJCC is distinguished among its peers. District officials urge equal opportunities, with social equality and justice among its framework for developing higher education for students who would otherwise give up on attending college. Offering English as a Second Language (ESL) classes is one way SJCC is creating social opportunities for students to learn new trades to develop skillful employment.
Dr. Breland brings his experience from the East and West coast collegiate arena. According to Breland the focus of a secondary college should remain on helping those who are under served in their communities. Breland said, "We have an opportunity to build on a legacy that has already been firmly established by this institution to make SJCC a destination of choice for individuals who seek higher education and job training". Breland acknowledged the need to develop the tools in which to bring forward educational guidelines to help develop training skills needed to compete in Silicon Valley's technical workforce. "This is not simply a vision but a call to action," Breland said. "Now let's get to work".

Plantlab Makes the Coveted Vertical Urban Farm a Reality
BY: Andrew Michler
Start Slideshow
- PlantLab (2)Vertical urban farms have become a popular topic for farmers and architects alike as they promise a way to feed a growing population sustainability. From fanciful sky-bound superscrapers that will never be built to huge rooftop gardens that have limited room to spread out, urban food production has some hurdles to mount. A Dutch based group called PlantLab just may have hit the sweet spot by packing productive plant production into a small foot print that can be done just about anywhere. They replaced the sun with LEDs and grow plants in completely controlled environments that increase productivity by precisely tuning the light, water, and soil to each plant's needs. They claim they can feed a small city out of a space smaller than the average house in the US.1
- PlantLab (12)The heart of the high tech system is a LED array developed by Phillips that shines infrared light, which is the optimal wavelengths for plants to use.2
- PlantLab (11)Automated trays are stacked high with vegetables, fruits, and decorative plants. The lab has experimented with a wide range of variables to produce high crop yields while using a minimum amount of resources.3
- PlantLab (5)The system uses up to 90% less water for instance, and there is no need for toxic pesticides.4
- PlantLab (13)Variables such as light intensity, light color, the relationship between colors, room temperature, crop temperature, root temperature, CO2 content and air humidity are all carefully controlled and automated.5
- PlantLab (4)The system also may need less energy input overall once everything in factored in -- especially considering transportation.6
- PlantLab (10)The food can be grown right at the source of sale, so a production facility could be located above or below a food vendor in a large city.7
- PlantLab (9)The food crops are also less prone to spoilage and adverse weather conditions which are becoming alarmingly more frequent.8
- PlantLab (8)AP reports: "Meeuws says a building of 100 sq meters (1,075 sq. feet) and 14 layers of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams (7 ounces) of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people."9
- PlantLab (7)Such a dramatically small footprint means that cities could easily become self-sufficient by retrofitting existing building stock.10
- PlantLab (1)The PlantLab has already built a production facility that is commercializing the technology, and they plan to build a much larger production facility this year.11

How to Plant Bulbs in a Border
Most bulbs prefer free-draining soil, as they like to be fairly dry when dormant.
Learn to Garden ,
Step 1: Point Tips Upward
Position the bulbs in the hole with their pointed tips upward. Discard any bulbs that show signs of disease or rotting.
Step 2: Add Soil
Fill in the hole with soil, firming as you go with your fingers, taking care not to damage the bulbs' growing tips.
Step 3: Protect with a Barrier
Chicken wire over the planted area will prevent animals from digging them up. Remove it as soon as the first shoots appear.

Great news for Utah as they save a bunch of $$. I hope Boylen brings the same type of luck and success to the Lakers that he did to Utah.

Coach Boylen always defined winning in a way that most fans can never know or understand. Talk to his players and ask them how hard he worked, and how much he loved the University as well as his players. Lots of people look at the win/loss record and championships won. Jim Boylen is not a loser and never will be, unless you ask Dr. Hill.

unfortunately, chris hill never appreciated what he had in Jim Boylen.
Jim Boylen is a hard working, loyal, honest guy with an exceptional basketball acumen who treats people with respect and decency. Jim Boylen has a passion for teaching, mentoring and winning.
Jim Boylen delivered too much success too quickly at Utah. chris hill begged Jim to stay and provided him with a new contract. Eighteen months later, after a bump in the road, chris hill jumped ship and fired Jim Boylen. chris hill abandoned the basketball program, Jim Boylen, Jim's assistant coaches, the players and the fans of Utah basketball. Anyone close to the program knows this.
Jim Boylen will continue to be successful on and off the basketball court.
chris hill? it has been said that some people "have hollow souls and are devoid of success"

Everyone has the right to work, good for Boylen, tho of course I hope the Lakers
go 0-82 the whole time he's there.
I thought it was a dopey move by Hill to fire him, and I'm sure he'll fire Krystowiak if he doesn't make the Final Four in two years (and if Krysto does have success he'll be out the door as soon as a bigger school or the NBA calls), but that's water under the bridge.
The problems with U hoops have almost nothing to do with Boylen; John Wooden & Dean Smith couldn't have won with the U last season. It was always going to be a down year with as strong as Jimmer & SDSU were, and when did Larry K become the flavor of the month, tho obv good luck to him with the complete rebuild.

I'm sure jazz fans are excited about this hire. As a UTE fan, I'm excited to see Boylen get a job and stop milking the U. As a Laker fan, I just lost all respect for Mitch Kupchak and Mike Brown. They obviously don't know Utah has a basketball program.

SAN FRANCISCO — Twitter is struggling to convince Wall Street that it is still a company with plenty of potential to grow.
In its second earnings announcement as a public company, Twitter said Tuesday that it had more than doubled revenues, beating its own forecasts and the expectations of investment analysts. But the social network's stock fell more than 11 percent in after-hours trading because the number of people who joined it did not increase as fast as many had hoped.
Wall Street, it appears, is more worried about Twitter's ability to add users and keep them engaged than about its ability to increase revenues.
In the last two quarters, that has been a problem. Twitter said it had 255 million monthly users globally in March, up 5 percent from 241 million at the end of December, which ended a quarter in which monthly active users rose by less than 4 percent.
But most disconcerting for shareholders is that Twitter made $1.44 in advertising revenue for every 1,000 timeline views, down from $1.49 in its previous quarter. That may be the best marker of Twitter's ability to make money from its platform, and in the first quarter it was trending down.
Twitter's revenue in the first quarter, which ended March 31, was up 119 percent to $250 million from $114 million in the first quarter of 2013.
Twitter lost $132 million, compared with a loss of $27 million a year ago. However, adjusted earnings were $183,000, or about break-even per share, compared with a $10.5 million loss a year ago.

Winemaker vs Brewmaster Dinner - The Aftermath
The Halifax Club's Winemaker vs Brewmaster Dinner featured in my last column was
a major success. Lovers of wine or craft beer might like to know what winemaker Simon Rafuse of Blomidon Estates and brewmaster Bobby Zacharias of Propeller Brewing Company selected as their competing pairings for this five course extravaganza.
As an aperatif to start the evening off, the contestants chose light and lively to stimulate the palate. Simon Rafuse offered Blomidon's Tidal Bay 2012, the new Nova Scotia Appellation wine which is a blend of a specified selection of white wines which are juried before being allowed to bear the Tidal Bay name. Bobby matched it with Propeller's Honey Wheat Ale - always a favourite with the ladies.
For each course of the meal the winemaker and the brewmaster explained their choice for a suitable beverage for pairing. Guests were invited to vote for the better choice with either a wine cork or a beer bottle cap.
The first item on the menu was Duck Confit with fresh herbs and Melba toast. Responding to the rich dark duck meat. Rafuse poured his newly released 2012 Baco Noir a regular sell out favourite at the winery and Zacharias responded with Propeller Nocturne Dark Lager, dark and delicious. Blomidon Estate Winery took the round
The second course was vanilla bean butter poached lobster tail with an orange ginger sauce, roasted wild mushrooms and citrus scented baby greens for the fish course. Rafuse responded with his 2010 Chardonnay which had won bronze at the Canadian Wine Awards in 2012 while Zacharias chose the Propeller classic India Pale Ale. Again Blomidon won the round.
The third course was a break from food and wine with a palate cleanse of Mango Vanilla Bean Ice. Quite probably water was the beverage of choice.
Chef Nelson Francis threw down the gauntlet with a complicated fourth course of beef tenderloin stuffed with gorgonzola. Arugula and walnuts with a brandy and green peppercorn demi-glaze coupled with grilled fennel, pollen dusted scallops with white wine and truffle cream sauce. Zacharias chose to cut the richness and complimented the beef with Propeller Extra Special Bitter Ale and Rafuse 2011 Ridge Reserve a barrel aged red blend with blueberry and blackberry notes and a spicy vanilla edge. Propeller took this round.
This avalanche of flavour was finished of with a brandy snap horn of plenty filled with pumpkin mousse and garnished with fresh berries and caramel sauce. Rafuse used the NS winemaker's ace up his sleeve with Vidal Icewine but Zacharias countered with a very unique Pumpkin Ale. Propeller won this pairing too.
To break the tie all the wine cork and beer cap votes from the entire meal were added up and Blomidon Estate won by 10 corks.
Adam Bower, Marketing Director for the Halifax Club said the dinner was a huge success. This was the second Winemaker vs Brewmaster dinner the club has hosted this year. The first was in the spring matching Avondale Sky Winery with Garrison Brewing.
It too ended in a 2:2 tie with Avondale Sky winning with more corks cast overall as votes.
Who will be next twosome up for the challenge?

TC TO LADY SANDWICH ; 22 August 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590822-TC-LS-01; CL 35: 174-176
Auchtertool House, Kirkcaldy N. B. / 22 Augt 1859—
Dear Lady Sandwich,
Your little Note was very interesting; and brought us cheerful glimpses of the southern world; news of various kind,—good news of yourself, for one thing, which was especially welcome. That deliverance out into the free air, and to peaceable thoughts and affectionate remembrances and hopes, with your grand-children1 running about you, in those old scenes so full of meaning for you: what a fine change from your long winter's imprisonment! I doubt not you have had ups and down since that date, for one never goes steady very long, and perhaps you have even flitted before this time; but we hope you are still well enjoying the kind summer Earth and sky, in some kindly place, there or elsewhere, and laying up strength against the bad season that will come. It is with the scheme of picking another little packet of news from you that I write again from these Fife regions.
We had to quit our sea-side ruralities about three weeks ago; our term there being out, and a successor inexorably at the door. We took shelter here, three miles inland, in a small vacant Country Mansion that turned up; a far better Lodging, and essentially still a very pleasant region, nothing but fine green Hills all round us, green to the top, and excellent white crops on the flanks of them (whh are getting reaped just now on happy terms); an excellently cultivated Country, with strange hard warts of rock starting up every here and there thro' the sweep of greensward or wide expanses of corn: a very pretty country, with the Bass-rock Berwick Law2 and a bit of the sea still visible from our eastward windows,—and all round, such a pother of steep heights and headlong chasms as was never seen before: terribly astonishing to my Cockney Horse ("Fritz" so-called), who cannot find fifty yards of level road, let him try where he will in this Country, for a bit of cantering! This particular piece of Earth (let me add, since yr Ladyship is of historical turn) was at one time the property of the famed "Kirkcaldy of Grange";3 Grange, his chief manor, is a mile or two off:4 and one sometimes remembers the terrible end he came to, the gallows no less, tho' a man of true nobleness and worth in that wild day. "Hallyards," another famed old Castle,5 is within short distance on the other side of us; I rode thither the other night: grim old remnants of walls (mostly carted away by Gothic countrypeople and a bad steward's connivance); it was here that James V lay, the night before he got to Falkland to die;6 a noble enough young man in his way: "Her Majesty is happily brot to bed!" they told him.— "What has she got?" "A Princess" (Mary Queen of Scots that was to be).— "Hmph, it cam wi' a lass" (a Bruce's Daughter),7 "and it will gang wi' a lass!"8 said poor James, turning his face to the wall, and spoke no more in this world.— Enough of antiquarianisms; more than enough!
My Wife privately seems to me to prosper a little better here, than she did seaward; tho' that is not saying much. She is out on the Cuddy even now. As to me I have had an ugly fit of "cold,"—kind of biliary collapse, I judge it to be;—and am fallen extremely lazy since: "a far better state than yr former wild humour of rushing about by land and water, like a youth of 16 rather than a man of 60!"9 says my Wife, who is a bit of a Dr, and perhaps in the right this time. I did not see Ld Ashbn as they passed thro' Edinr, nor hear from him till his arrival in the Highlands: very kind invitation to us thither; but alas, alas—!— Let us hear of you dear Lady. Our next step is southward, say 10 days hence; thence gradually home. Yours ever T. Carlyle

Motivation: wikipedia claims, that in algebraic topology, there holds: $\pi_1(X\times Y)\cong\pi_1(X)\times\pi_1(Y)$ and $\pi_1(X\vee Y)\cong\pi_1(X)\ast\pi_1(Y)$. A similar statement holds for arbitrary products and one-point unions, making the (covariant) fundamental group functor $\pi_1:\mathrm{TOP}^0 / h-\mathrm{TOP}^0\rightarrow GRPS$ preserve products and coproducts.
I'm guessing the same holds for the functors $\pi_k$ (homotopy groups), $H_k$ (homology groups)?
Examples: In the category of sets, groups, rings, $R$-modules, vector spaces, topological spaces,etc, the product is the cartesian product. In the category of sets and topological spaces, the coproduct is the disjoint union/topological sum. In the category of groups, the coproduct is the free product $\ast$. In the abelian group / $R$-modules / vector spaces category, it is the direct sum $\oplus$. In the topological pointed spaces category, it is the one-point union $\vee$.
Question: I would very much like to prove this in a general way, so I'd like to know the following: Theorem???: Suppose $F:\underline{A}\rightarrow\underline{B}$ is a covariant / contravariant functor. What are some (reasonably general) sufficient conditions on $F,\underline{A},\underline{B}$, that make $F$ send (products to products and coproducts to coproducts) / (products to coproducts and coproducts to products ), i.e. $$F \text{ covariant }\Rightarrow F(\prod_{i\in I}A_i)=\prod_{i\in I}F(A_i)\text{ and }F(\coprod_{i\in I}A_i)=\coprod_{i\in I}F(A_i);$$ $$F \text{ contravariant }\Rightarrow F(\prod_{i\in I}A_i)=\coprod_{i\in I}F(A_i)\text{ and }F(\coprod_{i\in I}A_i)=\prod_{i\in I}F(A_i)?$$
The sufficient conditions that I'm looking for are primarily intended for important standard functors, such as $\pi_k$, $H_k$, $H^k$, tangent and cotangent bundle functor, ... so that I can prove the results in one sweep.
Counterexample: In the category of division rings / fields, we have $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2 = \mathbb{Z}_2$, thus the forgetful functor to the category of sets doesn't preserve products.

After surrendering $20 for parking and making my way into the Galen Arena at USC, the occupancy rate at the time was around 10% as BJ Flores stepped into the ring against Adam Collins. As I found my press row seat and put my fedora hat down, Collins was laid out on the canvas, victim of a vicious KO by Flores.
After scouting the location, one thing I noticed about the Galen Center is that there really is no bad seat in the arena. Doesn't matter if you are sitting ringside or on the nosebleeds, you will get a descent view of the night's action. Kind of reminds of me of the StubHub Center in Carson, CA. Hopefully the Galen Center will decide to host many more events just like the StubHub has been doing in recent years.
With an hour left for the main event fighters to enter ring, the occupancy level was now at about 15% with big spots of empty seats in many areas of the arena. As I was noticing this, I focused my attention back on the fight at hand and just as I did, Caleb Hunter Plant scored probably the prettiest knockout punch anyone will see all year. It was Hunter Plant's pro debut, and hopefully his very un-skilled opponent's Travis Davidson last one.
In the undercard televised bout, Amir Imam faced off against former Cuban amateur world champion Yordenis Ugas in what would be a very close fight. Imam, the favorite to win, found himself needing to win the eighth and final round to at least get a draw on my scorecard. He did and I could see the fight going to Ugas by at least one round, or a draw being the fair decision.
When the final scorecards where read, it was obvious that the judges had turned in their scorecards in favor of the Don King fighter even before the fight had started. They had to upcoming prospect Imam winning the fight by a very large margin.
As the two main event fighters made their way into the ring, the arena had gotten busier but still felt very empty. One upside was that the crowd there, no matter how small, was very passionate. The mix of casual fans and USC students who accidentally stumbled into the arena, along with the Mexican-American fans supporting Arreola, gave the arena great vibe and excitement.
In the opening round of the bout, Arreola was the aggressor, throwing more and by simple mathematic equation, landing more. Things would turn in the closing seconds of the round as Stiverne finally let his hands go and landed a perfect combination which hurt Arrela. Stiverne followed the combination with a step back and taking the last 5 seconds of the round to embrace what he had just done.
Throughout the next few rounds, the fight started to take a trend, Arreola was the busier fighter more willing to throw, while Stiverne was more calculated in his punches and carried a sniper like vibe about his game plan.
Stiverne clearly seemed capable of dominating the bout, but more willing and content in showcasing his ability to make Arreola miss, than him actually landing.
In the fifth round, for every punch Stiverne threw he screamed two sentences at Arreola. It was not only a physical bout by now; it was also a verbal one. The crowed loved it and the arena no longer felt empty, instead of feeling sorry for the organizers of the event, I started feeling bad for anybody who was missing this great fight.
In the sixth round, Stiverne finally let loose at full potential, landing a flush right on Arreola's temple that saw him stumble to the canvas, badly hurt. This time Stiverne knew his opponent was ripe for the picking and he went in for the kill, dropping Arreola another two times in the following seconds and forcing referee Jack Reiss to finally call an end to the bout.
In celebration, Stiverne, a guy known for not showing much emotion inside or outside of the ring, jumped around in joy eventually collapsing in the center of the ring from happiness. It was a big moment for him, he had just made boxing history in becoming the first Haitian born Heavyweight champion of the sport.
Stiverne executed his gam plan perfectly, thru all of Arreola's moments, Stiverne stayed calmed and collected, sort of with a sense of knowing what was to come. He let Arreola get confident in his approach towards him on the ropes, and once he had Arreola's full trust, he struck with that quick right hand that marked the beginning of the end for the night's fan favorite.
As legendary announcer Michael Buffer was announcing Stiverne as the winner, the Haitian heavyweight shared a special moment with the most unlikely person, Don King. Both men hugged for along period of time as Stiverne cried in King's shoulder. It was a scenario not often seen with King fighters given his reputation, but one that for at least that night, that moment, seemed genuine.
Meanwhile, moments later, as Stiverne was being interviewed, Arreola hang his head low as he leaned in the ropes and looked to the crowd for final embrace even in defeat. He would get it and you can see the frustration and dissatisfaction in his eyes all while in the back Don King loudly screamed "And the new, and the new" as he held up his fighter's hand.
For Stiverne, the future possibly holds big fights against the likes of Wladimir Klitschko and Deontey Wilder, while for Arreola who at age 33 and in my opinion has reached his limit in terms of improvements in his fight game, one has to really wonder what the future realistically holds for him in the sports, or even if he still has one.
Overall, the night was great; it was an ol'school heavyweight clash between two exciting fighters. Regardless of the attendance number which was reported at a seemingly high 3,900 people, the event was important because if the people at home tuned in to ESPN in high numbers, then it is most likely that we will be seeing a lot more fights like these on ESPN instead of HBO or Showtime. That's a good thing for the sport, a very good thing.

The 12744 dwt motor vessel Zelada Desgagnes collided with the 18150 dwt boxship MSC Patricia in the port of Antwerp, Belgium. The Zelada Desgagnes was heading out into the Western Scheldt Riverwhen it veered off to port and struck the MSC Patricia which was heading towards the Zandvliet Lock. The Zelada Desgagnes suffered significant damage with the hull holed above the waterline. The MSC Patricia suffered some damage, but was able to continue to the MSC terminal in Antwerp. Both vessels are berthed at the Antwerp Shiprepair yard for repairs. At the time of the accident (3 a.m.), there was a dense fog in the area.

It looks like Luke McCown has emerged as the frontrunner to win the backup job behind Drew Brees. He's been taking the snaps with the second-team, and with Seneca Wallace limited with a groin injury, Ryan Griffin has been taking the third team snaps in his place.
McCown and Wallace both have 10 years of experience, although Wallace is the older of the two at 33. Former Tulane star Griffin is a 23-year-old-rookie.
Would you rather see Wallace or McCown backup Brees, or would you prefer to see the team go with the younger option in Griffin? Griffin has shown flashes of brillance in camp, although he had his struggles during the scrimmage.
It's likely Griffin could be a practice squad project for the Saints if he doesn't make the final roster.

Atheist Ashu Solo threatens human rights complaint after Saskatoon councillor's dinner blessing
Betty Ann Adam, Postmedia NewsApr 21, 2012 – 5:02 PM ET | Last Updated: Apr 23, 2012 10:06 AM ET
Richard Marjan/Postmedia News
"It made me feel like a second-class citizen. It makes you feel excluded," atheist Ashu Solo complained after a Saskatoon city councillor said grace at a volunteer appreciation dinner.
SASKATOON — A Christian prayer by a city councillor at a City of Saskatoon volunteer appreciation dinner discriminated against non-Christians, says a volunteer who intends to complain to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.
Ashu Solo, a member of the city's cultural diversity and race relations committee, was among the guests at the dinner Wednesday, where Coun. Randy Donauer said a blessing over the food in which he mentioned Jesus and ended with "amen."
"It made me feel like a second-class citizen. It makes you feel excluded," said Solo, who is an atheist.
"It's ironic that I've now become a victim of religious bigotry and discrimination at this banquet that was supposed to be an appreciation banquet for the service of volunteers like me."
The inclusion of a Christian prayer at a municipal government event violates the separation of religion and government, Solo wrote in a lengthy email to Mayor Don Atchison, which he later distributed to the rest of council.
Solo also takes issue with a prayer that "clearly gives primacy to one religion over all other religions" at a municipal event paid for with Saskatoon taxpayer money.
"This is not a Christian country or a Christian city. It is a secular multicultural country and secular multicultural city with people from numerous religions as well as spiritual people, agnostics and atheists," Solo said.
Municipal officials should not use their offices to "perform religious bigotry, as this is," or "to impose their own religious beliefs on others," Solo said.
Atchison said he is sorry to hear Solo felt excluded.
He suggested in the future, the dinner could feature prayers from different religions on a rotating basis. There could even be a dinner with no prayer at all for atheists, he said.
Solo said the rotation idea will not work because there are thousands of religions.
He wants an apology from the mayor and a promise there won't be any more prayers at City of Saskatoon events. He said if he does not receive those by next Friday, he will proceed with a human rights complaint naming the City of Saskatoon, Atchison and Donauer.
"That will give us a few days to think about it and see what we need to do here," Atchison said. "I certainly couldn't give that (assurance and apology) to anyone right now."

… is this guy for real?!
If he feels like a "second-class" citizen in the presence of Christians and Christianity, I assume that he is a masochist as the view of a church or a cross must give him splitting headaches.
What is his country of origin?
He didn't say that he feels like a second-class citizen in the presence of Christians; he said that he felt like a second class citizen when an elected official, in their official capacity, at a public event, publicly endorsed Christianity. If you are still unable to see the difference, then may I suggest you consider how you would feel if one of your city councillors came to an event you were organising, and insisted on starting it off with a prayer to Krishna, or Allah,, for example.
Boo hoo hoo :o( Poor Mr. Solo. He sounds like a snivelling, manipulative child.
The thing that really makes me sad is, we've done this to ourselves.
Mr Solo
Maybe the next time you can stick your fingers in your ears and quit trying to dictate your views to other people just in case you don't know it we have rights too. I was born in this country and respect other religious beliefs as long as they don't try to interfere with my beliefs
I still cannot believe the audacity of this immigrant. Making an affirmation such as his denotes not only a crass lack of knowledge related to our Canadian history, but also a deep disrespect for everyone.
I am an atheist, but a prayer at a dinner table does not bother me as I am not forced to pray.
I am also shocked that the mayor got so scared and accepted to be humiliated, insulted and threatened.
I would have told this Solo guy to make the complaint.
If Solo is insulted by a prayer, he should also be insulted by living in a Christian country (yes, Solo, Canada IS a CHRISTIAN country, whether you like it or not!), being paid by Christians' money and being protected by the laws made by Christians.
He dares to insult an entire country and nobody dares to say anything.
So, Solo, I have a message for you: learn to be respectful and if you dislike Canada's Christian customs, you are free to move to wherever you think religion will not irritate you.
Also, a message for the mayor: Grow a spine and be a Canadian!
Mr. Solo was born and raised in Saskatoon. His degree in computer engineering is from the University of Waterloo and he served in the Canadian armed forces.
Thank you, Ms Adam.
Unfortunately, the fact of being born in Canada to immigrant parents does not atuomatically qualify someone as Canadian.
To be Canadian means more than a passport or a birthcertificate and Solo is a living proof of it.
He should probably visit his parents' country and meditate on the great country Canada is and thank Christians for building a country like this.
He should be humble as he and his parents are nothing but users of what Christians built in this country centuries ago.
If he doesnt like christians or our beliefs why does he come to canada! Canada was made by christians, the rule of law, the courts, the school system, our kind and generous healthcare system, our farmers. Has he ever taken a ride down a road out west, all one can see are christian churches. All the small towns are christian, there may be a few minorities there but the vast majority are christian. What planet is he from.
I happen to be chrisitan, canada is a christian country with a christian heritage and we are the majority still being 84 %. I hope that insults him because if someone takes away my christmas I will be insulting alot of people and so will many others!
Hes upset about a christian prayer. Well Im upset every day I go outside and see people who dress in ethnic clothes, who do not converse in my language which is english and is the language of canada, who wear headgear, who are rude, who take our jobs away, who use our welfare system, who commit crimes.
"canada is a christian country with a christian heritage"
No, Canada is a secular country, with a heritage which includes Christians, as well as members of other religions and of no religion. The fact that Christians happen to be the majority in no way justifies any branch of government being seen to favour Christianity over any other religion, or over non-religion.
See section 27 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_Twenty-seven_of_the_Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms
"If he doesnt like christians or our beliefs why does he come to canada!"
I don't think 'emerging from your mother's womb' counts as a conscious choice to come to the country she happens to be in at the time.
"Hes upset about a christian prayer. Well Im upset every day I go outside and see people who dress in ethnic clothes, who do not converse in my language which is english and is the language of canada"
The difference is that there is no constitutional guarantee that promises you the right to live in a society where nobody is different from you, whereas there is, in the charter already linked to, an explicit guarantee of respect for the multicultural heritage of Canadians.
Also, as an aside, in what sense is English the language of Canada? Are not French, Cree, Inuktitut and many other languages also the languages of Canada? English is the majority language to be sure, but if you're really suggesting that the majority should have the right to trample everyone else, you should at least have the right to say so – and to agree that if ever any other language became dominant, you in turn would be happy to be expected to speak it instead of English.
Sorry, that 4th-from-last line should have read "…you should at least have the honesty to say so…"
Come on, David, give me a break with the Charter…
Instead of creating cohesion, that piece of garbage divides us into ghettos.
If I understand well, you do not admit the existance of an official language/national language in Canada.
So, would you rather have 150 socially accepted languages in the country?
Even so, a common language would be required, in order to communicate.
As it is the case of English in India, used as a common language in the ocean of dialects and languages.
China also has numerous regional languages/dialects, but Mandarin is the official language of the country.
I doubt that you say that Mandarin is not the language of China…
Sad to see that so many Westerners have no respect for anything that defines their own identity.
It is as if self-efacement gives them pleasure.
The armed forces are christians too!
Mr solo should return to his own homeland and start complaining about religion and see what the consequences are in the meantime leave our country and our beliefs alone. I don't recall his ancestors being here with mine or others forming this great nation. Be thankful you were allowed to come to this nation and quit trying to make a name for yourself with garbage news
Interesting array of thoughts. I might suggest that regardless of one's origins of birth, referring to both cultural/religious and geographic that one's faith (including atheism which requires all kinds of beliefs in order to choose none) should at least withstand the rigors held within the test of self-doubt. If it is true and good then one should not be blown about so erratically by the winds of others. I might further suggest that Mr. Solo's public outcry aligns him others who publically display their complete insecurity in their religious choice and give voice to a cry for help in the guise of complaint – and practice which I am sure dates back to early, early humanity.
As an atheist myself, I really don't see the problem with a government official professing his / her faith. Just because a person is elected doesn't mean they stop being people. P.S. If a bus, store or holiday card says "Merry Christmas" it doesn't mean you are not welcome if you believe differently – it just means "go buy me a present"!
Mr Solo. I read with interest your interview on Crommunist Manifesto. I don't really understand why you are so upset with The Mayors Prayer Breakfast in Saskatoon. I live in Red Deer and there has been a Mayor's Prayer Breakfast for many years , with many excellent speakers. If people don't want to attend, that is their choice. It's never been an issue here.
Another comment I don't understand is your analogy about the restaurant which only serves one item. I would expect if the patrons didn't want to eat that one meal, they would go to another restaurant. My analogy being, if people didn't like the Mayor and council in Saskatoon, they would not vote for them. I expect the majority of citizens in Saskatoon prefer the Mayor in place now, or he would not have been elected.
I don't wish this as a criticism , only questioning your motives and trying to understand your thought process. I think you might be making a mountain out of a molehill. There are many worthwhile causes to become involved in , many which could help instead of polarize people…perhaps getting involved in a charity or assisting the homeless. Your time might be better spent.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.- (December 4, 2012) – Nearly 100 people attended the launch party and book signing for the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau new book: The 2013 Chapel Hill Food Lover's Guide with Carrboro and Hillsborough, NC on Monday, Dec 3 at FRANK Gallery in downtown Chapel Hill. Author Moreton Neal and illustrator Laura Frankstone were on hand to sign books. Neal gave a brief overview of the book which includes select recipes and featured restaurants. The 116 page (including cover) book lists more than 100 restaurants, bars, farmers markets, area chef and restaurant recipes, and is filled with original illustrations, photography and factoids about the area's foodie scene.
Moreton Neal, a Chapel Hill NC writer and interior designer, has been a part of the local culinary scene, in one way or another, for over three decades. She has been a chef and restaurateur, a restaurant reviewer for an international travel website, and co-host/producer of a food-oriented radio show. Her cookbook/memoir, Remembering Bill Neal: A Life in Cooking was published by UNC Press. She has been the food editor of Raleigh Metro magazine and now writes a column, "Joyous Cooking," for Chapel Hill Weekly. Her articles have appeared in Garden and Gun and many other publications. Neal holds an Art Education degree from Duke University.
Laura Murphy Frankstone, also from Chapel Hill, is a painter, award-winning art blogger, traveler, and cook. She has exhibited at the Biennale du Carnet de Voyage, Clermont-Ferrand, France; Somerhill Art Gallery; SECCA; MSU at Leland; and the Durham Arts Council, among other places. Her work appears in several publications, including Art of Urban Sketching, by Gabriel Campanario; Artist's Journal Workshop, by Cathy Johnson; and 1000 Artist Journal Pages, by Dawn DeVries Sokol. She graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in addition to studying at Boston University and the Edinburgh College of Art.
The Visitors Bureau serves as publisher, as part of an ongoing effort to promote the food, farms and sustainable culture of Orange County. This 2nd edition comes on the heels of the first Food Lover's Guide written by Neal for the Bureau released in December 2009.
"This book answers the call of the area's growing reputation as a foodie destination and helps frame the Bureau's promotion of the area as edgy and artsy," said Laurie Paolicelli, Executive Director of the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau. "What's more edgy than being a leader in the culinary arts?"
"From James Beard winners and micro-breweries, to award winning chefs to name a few, and food events that attract an international audience, the area's food scene is becoming its own brand," said Neal. "I wanted this book to showcase the fantastic food culture that is Orange County."
In addition, author Neal provides an overview of locally packaged food products including sauces, jellies, dressings, and candies. The book is dotted with original illustrations of local restaurants, food and landscapes to give readers a visual guide of Chapel Hill and the surrounding communities. The beautiful photography of Donn Young is also featured throughout the book.
In the Chapel Hill Food Lover's Guide, Neal shares only the best of her finds, unafraid to look past favorites. Every profile gives a brief history of the establishment and tells exactly what they have that you shouldn't live without.
A wonderful holiday gift, the book will be available now for a special $10 at the Visitors Center at 501 W. Franklin Street. Competitive prices will be set at other venues carrying the book in the near future at local book stores, restaurants, hotels and other locations in the Triangle.

When it comes to using food as medicine, an increasing number of patients and physicians are finding that low carb diets are effective for conditions ranging from epilepsy to cancer to depression. But many also view food addiction as a disease - and one as potentially deadly as any other. Now one woman is talking about how she lost 283 pounds with a high fat low carb ketogenic diet.
Before trying a high fat low carb diet, Amy weighed 446 pounds, she told the St. Louis Dispatch on July 10. She believes that she is a food addict, and compares it to drug addiction.
As a result, she created a weight loss plan that helped her "withdraw" from the foods to which she was addicted. "I'm a food addict. It's like a drug," she says candidly.
Now that she's recognized her food triggers, Amy's diet is strict. She eats three eggs and a cup of spinach for breakfast, with between-meal snacks of almonds or protein shakes.
And when Amy says she eliminated sugar, she includes fruit. "I haven't eaten sugar since 2011," she said. "It's out of my life."
Amy's lunch and dinner are identical. She eats vegetables plus four ounces of chicken for each meal. She views this as a plan for life.
"Nothing is going to change what I'm doing. I'm an-all-or-nothing-kind of girl," Amy says firmly.
Registered dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator Franziska Spritzler also believes in the power of protein-rich, high fat low carb ketogenic diets. "When they compare the results of people consuming a low-calorie diet vs. an ad libitum (unrestricted) very- low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet, they see better weight loss and increased satiety among the low-carb subjects," she said in an exclusive interview.
Although several reports have revealed how low carb ketogenic diets can help with epilepsy, certain forms of cancer and multiple sclerosis as well as weight loss, the potential power of such food plans may not be yet known. Recently, for example, a man who was battling double vision as a result of Graves' eye disease has used a gluten-free low carb diet to avoid a second surgery and reverse most of his symptoms, reported Medical Xpress News on July 10.
When Don Parker was advised by ophthalmologist James McDonnell, MD, of Loyola University Medical Center that his eye disease might be controlled without surgery or medication, he was enthusiastic. The results: Parker lost 35 pounds and discovered that the bulging in his eyes and double vision were almost gone.
The plan involved a gluten-free, low carb diet. "My double vision is almost gone and there is so little bulging in my eyes that they look almost completely normal," said Parker.

How to Hypnotize Yourself to Get Over Someone
Little children learn the story of Sleeping Beauty, in which the evil queen steps before a mirror each morning. She says, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest lady of all?"
Memories of that childhood story can help the person who hopes that self-hypnosis can be used as a means for getting over a lost lover.
If you want to hypnotize yourself, in order to get over someone who has left you, try standing before a mirror. Concentrate on those aspects of your visage that you could use to attract a member of the opposite sex. By concentrating on your best features, you should find it easier to picture yourself as someone is can become the locus of control. In other words, by viewing your reflection you must convince yourself that other people will not determine your future.
Self-hypnosis for enhancing self-esteem
There are numerous CDs and self-hypnosis scripts and audio that can be used to enhance your self-esteem. When you are rejected or there is a breakup in a relationship, your self-esteem plummets and it is essential to not take all the blame on yourself. It takes two hands to clap, so it cannot be just your fault. Therefore, you must learn how to keep your mind busy with what is known as self-talk. That self-talk should be of a positive nature; it should not involve the making of self-put-downs.
Psychologists, those men and women who know a great deal about hypnosis, have discovered that when a person listens to the self-talk that is playing in his or her mind he or she can enter a state similar to self-hypnosis. He or she can be persuaded to think, feel and behave in a certain manner which helps you get into a self-hypnotic trance to get over someone.
Using reinforcement techniques
Often, when someone has been forced to accept the end of a relationship, he or she feels depressed. He or she may feel like no other person could ever replace the man or woman who has been lost. The thinking and acting that is associated with such feelings can be altered through self-hypnosis.
That hypnotic procedure can be used to convince the subconscious mind that the world has not "come to an end." In fact, the person who has used self-talk properly should be able to start feeling confident about the future. He or she should begin to work towards re-shaping that future.
Often, that process needs to be reinforced. Such reinforcement can come in the form of a reward. In other words, the person who hopes to get over a lost lover should think-up ways for rewarding those behaviors that demonstrate an effort to move-away from any measure of depression and to view the future in a positive fashion.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Washington Coach Tyrone Willingham
(regarding the final play): "When the official is standing over the ball, it makes it difficult for us to move as quickly as we want. We thought (at first) they would reset (the clock). But we were preparing in case they weren't.
(continuing the topic a few questions later)
"It's a difficult situation to officiate. If the officials move too fast, are they favoring the University of Washington? If they move slower, is it for USC? They are trying to keep the same rhythm. We just needed a few more seconds."
(on the final drive)
"Our football team felt very confident that we could take the ball down the field and score. We practice the two-minute drill two or three times a week. After almost two years, we've become very good at it. We didn't blink or hesitate. The problem was we ran out of time."
(on USC's fake field goal)
"What we were trying to determine was where was the origin of the player (Steve Smith), on the field or off. And was the alignment correct? I give them credit. It was a good call and seemed to be executed very well."
(on UW's onsides kick)
"I give them credit on their call and I give us credit on ours."
(asked if this was a moral victory)
There is too much pain in the locker to feel like this is a moral victory."
Washington OLB Dan Howell
"It was a fight. We fought until the last second. We did everything we could until the last second. Unfortunately, we ran out of time.
"I'm never satisfied in losing, but the fact we fought until the last second, it gives you a little bit of a good feeling. We didn't leave anything on the field."
Washington QB Isaiah Stanback
(on how the referees handled the final play of the game) "I'm not going to speak to it. I don't want to say anything wrong."
(asked if he felt he was under center in time)
"I felt like I did."
Referee Brian O'Cain
(regarding the game's final play)
"The first thing that is going to happen is that the clock is going to stop until we get the chains reset and the officials in position to officiate. I wanted to make sure the officials had seen the clock when the play became dead and were comfortable with the time remaining on the clock, which was confirmed to be two seconds.
(After everyone is in position): "I'll point to the ball to get the umpire off of the ball and I'll start the clock when we get the chains set and the officials in position and the players ready to go. Then I wind the clock.
"The general rule of thumb is that if there is one second when I wind and they snap immediately, the play can go. We try to keep the same pace the whole game. We don't go faster or slower."
USC Coach Pete Carroll
"That was a hard-earned win, just like last week. We had plenty of opportunities to separate with plays like the blocked punt, but we had to settle for field goals. Mario Danelo kept hammering it in for us. I'm a bit disappointed in our third-down defense, they kept extending drives. They (Washington) did a good job and are going to win a lot of games in this conference. I'm impressed with the job Tyrone (Willingham) has done. They've had a quick turnaround."
(On the last play)
"The last play was a mess. I wanted them to start the 24-second clock, but for some reason the refs refused. It was almost like a timeout for them. The clock was mishandled. They should move the sticks and immediately start the clock."
(On the passing game)
"Tremendous showing today by Patrick Turner. He came up in great fashion. Booty was a little disappointed. He was a bit off today. A lot of guys had to step up today and they hung in there. I think Booty was thrown off by missing guys like Dwayne (Jarrett), Chris (McFoy) and Steve (Smith)."
(On back-to-back close games)
"We're not getting any sacks. We are not getting any turnovers. Those are major changes and we need them and we're just not doing it. We are not going to stop emphasizing it in practice, but until we make those things happen, games are going to be close."
(On the play of Chauncey Washington)
"Chauncey did a really good job today. He's officially back at full speed. He showed it all week in practice and he showed it today."
USC Quarterback John David Booty
(On the overall play of the offense)
"The first half was pretty good. We only had the ball three times and came away with two touchdowns and a field goal. There are some plays to be made out there, some times we made them and sometimes we didn't."
(On playing another close game)
"When it comes down to the last play, like it did last week, it is a little tough to take. Our "D" stepped up when we needed it."
(On the passing game)
"It gets a little harder to get it going without Dwayne (Jarrett), (Chris) McFoy and Steve (Smith), but plays have to be made. Turner had a really good game. He really stepped it up. We have got to work and keep it going."
(On the running game)
"The running game was just awesome. Really, I think our best this season, especially with those long runs today. We didn't get just one or two yards and grind it out."
USC Linebacker Keith Rivers
(On playing in a close game)
"It's tough, but I'm happy to be part of a victory and stop them there at the end. You are always proud to be part of a winning moment."
(On the impact of Isaiah Stanback)
"He was a really big factor for them. We couldn't play their receivers the way we really want because we always have to keep an eye on that he may run."
(On his thoughts of Washington)
"We knew they were going to be a good team. They could very easily be 5-0 this year. They definitely are going to beat a few teams."
(On his play overall)
"I had a bit of a slow first half, but the second half I really got zoned in. I was really disappointed I dropped that pick."

The endangered cactus wren is now moving into urban environments, or rather the urban areas are moving into the wren's habitat.
Urbanization turns large areas of wild land into cities and suburbs, and has a profound effect on native speicies, changing where they live and how they interact," says Paige Warren, an urban ecologist…
"The cactus wren is usually associated with the desert, since it builds nests in the protection of cacti and other thorny plants," Warren explains. "However, this native species was able to penetrate the urban ecosystem more successfull the phaniopepla, and has been seen nesting in satellite dishes and other man-made structures."
Nice job, little wren.

text: May 14, 2014 22:59 Higher ed post hiring considered Higher ed post hiring considered Advocate staff file photo by BILL FEIG -- Aerial view of LSU campus in Baton Rouge, La. BY Elizabeth Crisp| email@example.com May 14, 2014; 0:43 p.m. Comments The House Education Committee approved legislation Wednesday that would strip some authority over the hiring of the state commissioner of higher education from lawmakers. The higher education commissioner appointment currently is subject to Senate confirmation, and the salary is approved by the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget. Senate Bill 108, which the committee approved 11-2, would remove both of those requirements. Supporters of the legislation, including Board of Regents chairman W. Clinton "Bubba" Rasberry, say that the change will help the state attract better candidates because it will provide more certainty. The board currently is in the process of finding a successor to former higher education commissioner Jim Purcell, who quietly left the post in March. "We want a transformational person," Rasberry said. Follow Elizabeth Crisp on Twitter @elizabethcrisp. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

This body wash does not completely smells like magnolias but has a lovely floral scent.
The BEST body moisturizer!

Leaves your skin feeling fresh, clean and smooth! I love the smell and think it is a very reasonable price. Lasts us about 2 months, using twice daily between 2 people.

I enjoyed using this product as it was true to the promise. Highly moisturising and with a lovely lingering fragrance!
Fragarence was too strong for me.

I love Method Body Wash Sea Mint and was looking for a moisturizing version. I used it once and developed a headache from the smell, which lingered for several days on my loofah until I threw it away. I gave it to my friend, and she loves it. If you are sensitive to smells, I would discourage from choosing this particular one.
