Consumer prices increase 0.6 percent in January
February 22, 2001
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.6 percent in January, its largest monthly advance since a 0.6 percent rise in March 2000.
The energy index rose 3.9 percent in January, accounting for over one-half of the overall CPI-U increase. The index for energy services rose 7.7 percent, largely as a result of a record monthly increase in the index for utility natural gas—up 17.4 percent. The index for petroleum-based energy was unchanged in January.
The food index increased 0.3 percent, following a 0.5 percent rise in December. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent in January, following an increase of 0.1 percent in December.
For the 12-month period ended in January, the CPI-U increased 3.7 percent.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Price Index program. Find out more in Consumer Price Indexes, January 2001, news release USDL 01-45.

John bent down to examine a box of tea when he felt a hand on his shoulder. A long, dramatic sigh sounded above him.
"Get bored of people watching out front, Sherlock?" John asked, giving Sherlock a glance up for a second before turning back to the tea.
"Yep. Everyone is so booooring!" Sherlock said dramatically, throwing his head back.
"I'm sorry we're all so boring to you," John mused, shooting him an angry glance.
John stood and sighed, rubbing his knee. He threw the tea in his basket and started down the aisle, listening to Sherlock follow him.
"Oh, don't be like that, John. You know you're not quiet as boring as everyone else," Sherlock said, shoving his hands in his pockets.
Sherlock suddenly reached into John's basket and pulled out a box.
"What are -these-?" He asked, turning the box over. "Condoms? What do you need -condoms- for? I know you take them on your dates and all, but you never -use- them."
John's face brightened and he reached for the box, Sherlock pulling it out of his reach. "Give those back!"
"Why do you -have- them?" Sherlock asked again, reading the box. "Why are you buying them?"
"Because... I.... Need them..." John's face brightened even more.
"For -what-?!" Sherlock boomed in laughter. "You don't have a -girlfriend-!"
"Sherlock!" John almost shouted, snatching the box from his hand and shoving it on a random shelf. "Fine, you happy?! You ruined it! I won't buy them!"
He stormed away to leave Sherlock deeply confused. He looked after John, looked at the box, grabbed it and ran after John.
"What did I ruin? Why are you keeping from buying them just because of what I said?" Sherlock asked, holding the box in front of John's face. "What were you planning to do with them? I highly doubt what I said will stop you from having sex with one of your girlfriends!"
"They weren't for 'one of my girlfriends', Sherlock!" John shouted. He shoved Sherlock out of the way and made his way to the checkout.
He started scanning the items, getting angrier and angrier as the machine repeated there were unscanned items in the baggage area. After a few minutes of abuse from the machine, he threw his hands up and left the store. Sherlock paid for the items and took the bags, running after John, the condoms in a separate bag, bouncing against his leg.
Sherlock made his way into the flat and set the bags down. He searched the flat for John and couldn't find him. He took the condoms and made his way up to John's room, where he found John spread out on his bed, face buried in the pillows.
"John?" Sherlock asked, moving into the room. "What are these for?"
"Just leave me alone, Sherlock. You ruined everything and I don't really want to see you right now," John said, turning his head away from the door.
"John, you have to tell me," Sherlock said, his voice strong and demanding.
"I don't -have- to do anything," John retorted, pulling the covers higher up on his chin.
"John!" Sherlock demanded, yanking the covers from John's body. "Tell me!"
"They were for you!" John shouted, sitting up in the bed and turning at Sherlock.
"W-what?" Sherlock chuckled, raising an eyebrow.
"I was going to ask you to... Forget it..." John said, shaking his head and laying back down, looking away. "It's stupid, you'll laugh."
Sherlock sat on the bed, leaning over John's body and running his hand south to John's button on his pants. "You want me to take you?" Sherlock asked, trying to look John in the eye.
John's face brightened again. "S-something like that... except... me take you..." He muttered, clutching a pillow to his chest. "But you ruined it. It'a obvious what you'd say..."
"It's obvious I'd say yes?" Sherlock asked, smiling and undoing John's button, setting the box in his other hand down on the bedside table.
He ran his hand through John's hair and got closer.
"Why would you say yes?" John muttered, his face still burning and his body wanting to feel Sherlock all over.
"Because, I love you," Sherlock said, bending down far enough that he could brush his lips on John's cheek. "You're the only one I've ever felt like this for... I want you to take me, John..."
John sat up and looked Sherlock in the eye, surprise coating his features. "You sure?"
"Positive," Sherlock whispered.
Slowly, John lay Sherlock down and got on top of him. "If you want me to stop-"
"I won't."
John slowly started undressing him, finally pressing his lips to Sherlock's and just losing it at that.
Sherlock didn't know how long John had waited for this...

I've seen so many pictures of Rainwashed on your blog, that I recently went to my local Sherwin Williams to check it out in real life. I was surprised to see it paired with greys and blacks, and not even in the blue category?!?! How does it show up so blue/green on walls? I would love to try it, but I'm afraid it's going to be too grey/dreary. What do you think?

SilverLining, I've seen it used in so many rooms and it's never looked dreary or gray. I thought the same thing about Palladian Blue's chip, but it just doesn't look that way painted. So I say go for it! I haven't heard of one person disappointed yet!

I so hope someone responds to this. I am wondering if there are rules about painting every room Rainwashed? I am soooo in love with it and have always wanted that color in my kitchen -- but now I want it in my bedroom too! Is that tacky? or should I go for it?
- August 3, 2010 at 8:45 PM
- Erin said...
Hi Erin! Honestly I say go for it. I'm not a designer, so I don't know any official rules, but two rooms is not bad at all. Plus, the cool thing about Rainwashed is that it looks different in different rooms/different light. So you could walk into your kitchen, then go in the bedroom, and it wouldn't even look the same!

Raphael Young is taking things up a notch. With a well-built team of partners in key cities from New York to Tokyo, marketing and PR headquarters in Paris and a devoted cult following around the world, Young is positioned to leverage his fanatical following into a truly global footwear business.
Young was first inspired to design shoes at the tender age of 14 after attending his first haute couture show. Trained under his uncle Alexandre Narcy, who was the head of Yves Saint Laurent's shoe studio for 40 years, he even received some key advice from Mr. Laurent himself: "keep it simple." He went on to work at various design houses in Italy before starting his own line.
These days, Young pays close attention to balance, proportion and physics as he handcrafts his own wooden lasts, which are paired with a proprietary sole material. The resulting comfort factor makes fashionistas salivate. His fierce Barbarella-inspired designs feature aggressive Space Age architectural silhouettes paired with gleaming metallic leathers and a genius take on the almond shaped toe box. All you have to do is put a pair on to rule the world.

The tuberculosis vaccine known as BCG (for Bacillus Calmette–Guérin) has been used for years, especially in developing countries, to prevent TB. Now a new study indicates that the BCG vaccine may actually protect against TB infection and disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, TB is a serious disease, because:
- One third of the world's population is infected with TB.
- In 2012, nearly nine million people around the world became sick with TB disease. There were about 1.3 million TB-related deaths worldwide.
- TB is a leading killer of people who are HIV-infected.
The BCG vaccine has undergone many studies, with results indicating it is 60 to 80 percent effective against TB in children. It has been unclear, however, if the vaccine works against actual TB infection, according to materials provided by the British Medical Journal, which published the study.
Researchers analyzed data from 1950 to 2013 on vaccinated and unvaccinated children who were younger than 16 and who had known recent exposure to patients with pulmonary TB. The children were screened with standard TB tests to check for the disease. There were 14 studies and 3,855 participants.
Children in the analysis were part of a TB outbreak investigation of children screened for TB because they were close contacts of people diagnosed with TB,. Participants lived in the United Kingdom as well as countries such as Spain, Greece, Indonesia, and South Africa.
The BCG vaccine was 19 percent effective against TB among vaccinated children who had been exposed to TB compared to children who were not vaccinated. When they restricted their analysis to six studies of 1,745 children in whom there was information on progression to active TB at the time of screening, there was a 27 percent protection against infection and a 71 percent protection against active TB.
In children who were actually infected with TB, the protection from vaccination against the infection was 58 percent.
"Our results support a paradigm shift in the understanding of how antimycobacterial vaccines (new and old) can work, from the view that BCG protects against disease but not against infection to one that it protects against infection itself," the authors conclude.

When mounting an EBS volume on ubuntu specified as /dev/sdh1 it actually mounts it at /dev/xvdh1. The aws console still thinks it's mounted at /dev/sdh1 so it took a while to realize that it was actually mounted, just in the wrong place
I ran into this problem a long time ago using ubuntu on ec2. I just ran into it again
and it seems like I'm not alone:
I haven't found a good answer as to why this happens or how to fix it. Any ideas?

A variety of vinyl kitchen floors from the 1970s
In the seventies, modern versions of linoleum made with vinyl were the must-have floors in kitchens and family rooms — and even bathrooms. The most popular choices in the no-wax flooring department were the faux tile patterns, such as those shown below. (As you can see, they were especially popular in warm earth tones, including the popular harvest gold color).
Mannington floors (1974, 1975, 1976)
Congoleum vinyl flooring (1971, 1976, 1978)
Armstrong no-wax vinyl floors (1978)

Having a baby is not only life-changing, it's house-changing. Your once beautiful home will never (or at least not in the near future) be the same. So during the month of January I'm going room-by-room with lists of baby must haves for the whole home.
The bathroom is one room that requires a lot of gear and prep. It's amazing just how many things such a tiny person can require! Here are my top bathroom picks.
Obviously, you're going to want a place to bathe that tiny munchkin and for the first couple of months, the big tub just won't do. My favorite option with Charlie was the Puj Tub, a foldable baby bathtub that fits in most sinks. Here he is at four months old relaxing during a warm bath in his Puj tub.
Hair rinsing has always been a source of contention with Charlie. He absolutely hates it, but the Dunck makes this so much easier. This adorable set of stacking bath toys serves double-duty as convenient hair rinsers, so much easier than leaning back under the faucet!
Charlie has always loved playing in the bathtub and we practice the "bathe till pruney"philosophy in our home. One of his favorite new toys is this adorable little Tugboat by Green Toys. This colorful craft is made in the USA from 100% recycled plastic milk containers. It is recommended for babies 6 months and up and has made a real splash at our house!
Before long, your little one will be crawling all over the big bathtub and for some reason the faucet seems to be an instant source of amusement and curiosity. Protect your babies noggin, while still allowing them to explore their environment, with the adorable Moby spout cover by Skip Hop. This sweet whale is made of a soft, flexible, rubber that keeps your darlings head safe while adding a fun accent to a kid's bathroom.
You will certainly want a place to store all those fabulous bath toys so they don't sit dripping in the floor of the tub until your little one's next bath time.For this job I am crazy about the bath Toy Store by Kuster, this handy bin not only stores, but also drains toys in between baths.Perfect!
I have always been a big fan of the functional, unique products by Boon. They always seem to have something totally different from everyone else and I love to shop their bath toys for Charlie. His latest fave are their Water Bugs which includes three colorful "bugs" and a fun net. It is great for developing dexterity and Charlie simply adores it!
Some children are ready to begin potty training at as early as 18 months (which we are hoping is the case at our house). Whenever your little one is ready, the 3-in-1 Potty by Safety 1st is a must-have. It's 3-in-1 design features potty, trainer seat, and step stool. It has lots of functional features such as a cushy seat, flip up lid, and removable bowl for easy cleaning. It is great for teaching both boys and girls!

Alix Schiraldi added a goal in the 83rd minute and that would be all the Wildcats needed, as JBU's comeback effort wasn't enough.

Doug Cain says the fire broke out Thursday morning at The Williams Companies Inc. plant in the town of Geismar. The town is about 20 miles southeast of Baton Rouge. Cain says he doesn't know how many people were hurt, but sees ambulances taking a couple of people from the plant. The company's website says the plant puts out about 1.3 billion pounds of ethylene and 90 million pounds of polymer grade propylene a year.

Disappointing Weekly Results : / but Keeping it Going.....
Monday, March 18, 2013
So I finally hit another plateau and only lost 0.2 lbs this week. I knew it had to come soon because it always does but it still hurts to hit it. I lurk on the Panic forums all the time to try to get perspective when I am feeling down about my progress and it does help to see that everyone goes through it. I think it is easy to say just keep going you are making healthy choices, the scale means nothing, etc... but when you work so hard and see barely any results it is still a downer for most people including myself. I think that is normal. The takeaway message though is not to let it stop you and I am not going to let this bad week stop me. Due to my injury and being sick I did slack a bit more that usual. My burn was down, my calories were up and thus my deficit was smaller. If it was cals in/cals out then I *should* have lost 1.7 lbs (which is still really good) but the body is of course not that simplistic. I also missed a day for my vitamin, did not get the sleep I have been getting and did not drink as much water as I am supposed to. I think all of these things combined to create bad results and I hope next week I can do a lot better. Maybe hit that 2 lbs finally.
Due to my leg injury I was not able to hit the intensity I usually do so I was only able to do 1 30 Day Shred and 1 C25K. So I am behind on those as well. I got my xrays done over the weekend and my follow up appointment is on Tuesday. Hopefully I will get a solution to my issue so I can jump right into it again.
In other news my hubby and I are bringing back the weight loss challenge. It will only be for 5 weeks but I am excited to get it going. Official weigh-in was today. There will be a weekly winner for % lost that week and challenge winner for % lost overall. I kicked his butt last time with a loss of 8.53% overall vs his 6.52%.

Don't let the plateau get you down. I did that and ended up gaining back 34 of the 40 pounds that I had worked so hard to lose. So here I am again working hard to take the pounds off and hopefully keep them off this time. Good Luck on your journey.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2012 Article IV Consultation with the Russian FederationPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 12/90
August 2, 2012
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On July 27, 2012, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Russian Federation.1
Russia's economic recovery continued in 2011 with growth of 4.3 percent, the same as in 2010. Economic activity rebounded in the second half of the year on the back of a favorable harvest and high oil prices. The momentum continued in the first quarter of 2012 with strong real wage and consumption growth supporting demand. Unemployment has continued to decline to pre-crisis lows, the capacity utilization in the manufacturing sector has recovered its 2007–08 level, and the output gap is estimated to now be closed. Inflation has come down significantly in recent months, largely due to one-off factors, and staff's measure of core inflation—a good proxy of trend inflation—remains high at around 6 percent. The current account has strengthened in 2011 aided by high oil prices, but net capital outflows persist, broadly mirroring the current account surplus.
Following two years of stagnation, credit growth rebounded strongly in 2011. This partly reflected a switch by the corporate sector from external to domestic funding. Consumer credit also grew strongly. On the credit supply side, improving bank balance sheets (with declining nonperforming loan ratios and improving profitability) and funding conditions (reflecting solid deposit growth and the Central Bank of Russia's liquidity provision) allowed for the expansion of lending.
Fiscal policy tightened in 2011, but it remains procyclical. The federal nonoil deficit declined from 12.7 percent of GDP in 2010 to 9.8 percent of GDP in 2011. This improvement was due to both nonoil revenue overperformance and expenditure underexecution. Some of the windfall oil revenues from 2011 were deposited in the Reserve Fund in early 2012. However, the 2012 budget implies an increase in the federal nonoil deficit of about 1 percent of GDP.
The Central Bank of Russia (CBR) tightened monetary policy significantly during 2011, including by gradually steering the interbank market rate from the CBR deposit rate of 2¾ percent in January to the CBR repo rate of 5¼ percent by the end of the year. Since then, however, monetary policy has effectively been on hold. Meanwhile, the CBR has continued to increase exchange rate flexibility as the intervention band was widened further, and intervention amounts have been relatively modest.
The near-term outlook is for continued moderate growth and a rebound in inflation. Real growth is projected at around 4 percent in 2012 and 2013, with potential GDP growing at a slightly lower rate. Inflation is projected to rebound to 6½ percent by end-2012, reflecting output rising above potential, the base effect, and the delayed increases in administered prices in mid-2012. The external current account surplus is projected to decline, amid slightly weaker oil prices. Capital outflows will likely continue, albeit at a moderating pace.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors welcomed Russia's recovery from the 2008–09 crisis and noted that the output gap is estimated to have been closed. The challenge in the short term is to manage domestic demand in order to avoid overheating and in the medium term to fully realize Russia's significant growth potential by maintaining macroeconomic stability, further strengthening the policy framework, and making decisive progress on structural reforms.
Directors recommended an ambitious fiscal consolidation path to reduce overheating pressures and vulnerabilities and ensure intergenerational equity. Some Directors saw merit in a cautious approach at the current juncture given the uncertain global environment. Directors stressed the importance of a strengthened fiscal framework to anchor medium-term fiscal policy. They welcomed the plan to introduce a new fiscal rule to decouple the fiscal stance from short-term variations in oil prices, but saw scope for further improvements to allow for the effective rebuilding of the Reserve Fund. While the immediate priority would be to unwind crisis-related stimulus, Directors underscored that durable consolidation will need to be underpinned by structural reforms, including pension reform.
Directors welcomed the improvements in the monetary policy framework, especially greater exchange rate flexibility which is helping absorb external shocks and allows monetary policy to focus on inflation. They noted the significant decline in inflation, but generally recommended a gradual further tightening of monetary policy to contain underlying pressures and anchor expectations. Directors also encouraged continued strengthening of monetary policy tools and enhanced communication policies to prepare for the successful adoption of formal inflation targeting by 2014.
Directors welcomed the improvements in the financial system and its resilience to a variety of shocks. They called for continued vigilance with regard to asset quality in the context of rapid credit growth and volatile oil prices, and commended the authorities' ongoing efforts to improve financial stability analyses and the macroprudential oversight framework. Directors called on the authorities to expedite the implementation of FSAP recommendations that strengthen the regulatory and supervisory framework. Important priorities are the prompt passing of legislation on consolidated supervision and connected lending and the expansion of the central bank's powers to use professional judgment.
Directors underscored that structural reforms are crucial to increase investment, diversify the economy, and raise potential growth. Welcoming Russia's accession to the WTO, they encouraged the authorities to seize this opportunity to strengthen the momentum for reforms and make the business environment more predictable by strengthening the rule of law, reducing corruption, and scaling back state involvement in the economy, including through transparent privatization of state-owned companies.

Acclaimed beauty blogger Phyrra from Beauty for the Bold collaborated with FutureDerm to create this hyper-moisturizing hair masque. It restores shine and moisture to the most frazzled color- and/or chemically-treated hair.
This is a fantastic cruelty-free, gluten-free, paraben-free, and vegan hair masque. It adds moisture to my hair without weighing it down. It's perfect!
Directions: Apply masque to clean, damp hair, evenly spreading it from the tips to roots using a wide tooth comb. To optimize moisturizing effects, cover your hair with either cling wrap or a hot towel for at least 10 minutes so that the masque can be more easily absorbed. If you have extremely dry or frizzy hair, you could leave it on overnight wrapped in a towel. After you have let it sit, gently apply cool water throughout your hair before completely rinsing. Use once per week for soft, silky hair.

A new group show in Chelsea will open your eyes to each artist's unique stretch of his and her imagination. Curated by artist Jill Slaymaker, the show is titled Other Worlds. The artists in this show present paintings, photography, and other installations that revolve around the idea that there are many types of alternate universes that exist.
One particularly alluring work of art in the show is an oil painting by Patricia Wersinger known as Cythere which was inspired by Jean-Antoine Watteau's painting Pelerinage a l'ile de Cythere. Wersinger's replication is an aesthetically pleasing blend of soft, pastel colors. The subjects are a group of women who appear to be in a dreamy state of mind and are dressed in fancy 18th century attire, with a view of the ocean in the background. There are also notions of simple joy and innocence with images of animals and a young girl playing the flute in the corner.
Childlike innocence is equally evident in David Rios Ferreira's painted drawings where he combines children's cartoons and historical folklore with his interest in child psychology. He is particularly influenced by Puerto Rican culture and his work features images of young boys floating happily in the air, playing out narratives that explore the emotional, sexual, and psychological complexities of the colonial history.
Also of note are Margaret Withers' mixed media works where she explores the subject of the domestic environment. Most of her works show houses that tilt, sway, or huddle together in the midst of chaotic surroundings. Similarly, Lily Prince illustrates disarray in the natural world and making it seem beautiful in her watercolor paintings such as in San Giovanni D'Asso inspired by a trip to Italy.
Sara Jimenez's contribution is certainly one of the more unique ones. She conveys the impact that memory can have on a person in both physical and spiritual ways by presenting pieces of skin-colored fabric with outlines of dresses lightly penciled in. These works titled In Between represent the memory of Jimenez's grandmother with images of her grandmother's favorite dresses embedded on her body.
At The Skylight Gallery, 538 W. 29th St., through Apr. 4th. The gallery is open by appointment on Saturdays from 11 a.m.—6 p.m.

"Hat Form Disapointed"
Laura Cremin on 4/25/2014 12:32:17 AM
Product Review: I didn't understand that it was solely meant for needle felting and not a hat block for wet felting. I can still stretch the wet felted formed hat over it to dry after I use a resist first. would not recommend for wet felting...maybe I just don't get it.

Social networking dangers have been discussed before. About a month ago I noticed on my nephews Facebook page that he post a picture of his dog tags (he is a PFC in the 82nd). It was a close up of them. Name and SSN right there for the world to see. To make matters worse all a BG has to do is go to his friends and family list and now he has figured out parents names, dates of births (or b-days), mothers maiden name. Well, I had my wife call her brother (nephews dad)and let him know what his son did. Very nice people and I love her side of the family just like I do mine but they are not the brightest stars in TX. He said not to worry and that he should be proud of being in the army and so on and there is nothing wrong with proudly displaying his dog tags.. Well, him and his 19 yr old pregnant bride went to get a loan for their first home and guess what? Identity theft. BG (s) took out loads of credits cards and lines of credit and jacked them up. They are devasted. It can be fixed but in the mean time they will likely miss out on this house.
Some BG's make a living off of social networks to do this.
Oh, Happy Leap Day!

Taryne Mowatt/Lindsey Sisk/Sarah Akamine - p
Noting the Opponents:??DePaul: ?Having yet to play a home game, the Blue Demons (17-6) have compiled a successful record thanks to a balanced offensive attack led by freshman Sean Plese, batting .389. Sophomore Becca Heteniak (8-3) leads the pitching staff with a 1.22 ERA through 69 innings pitched.??Florida State : The Seminoles (21-9) are led by senior Brittany Osmon with a .393 batting average with 5 homeruns. On Monday, Osmon was named ACC Player of the Week. Terese Gober (7-6) has seen the most time in the circle for the Noles, and has a 1.93 ERA to show for it. FSU has 2 other pitchers with more than 6 appearances and less than 2.00 ERA. Michigan : Coming in on a 14-game winning streak, the Wolverines (21-2) have also yet to see their home turf. They are led by senior Samantha Findlay, whose .413 average and 8 homeruns are tops on the club. Freshman Jordan Taylor (12-1) and sophomore Nikki Nemitz (9-1) have split time in the circle and have ERAs of 0.49 and 0.65, respectively. Louisiana-Lafayette: The Ragin Cajuns (19-5) are led by senior Holly Tankersley who leads the club with 9 homeruns on the season. In the circle, the Cajuns boast the Sun Belt Conference Pitcher of the Week Ashley Brignac (12-3).??Cal State Fullerton: The Titans (14-13-1) are paced by senior Kiki Munoz with a .410 average, the only above .400 hitter on the club. The last time UA and CSUF met was in the 2007 Super Regional Round in Tucson where the Wildcats swept the Titans to advance to the WCWS.
Last Week: ?Arizona took a pair of games from New Mexico, 8-1, and 8-0 in five innings, knocking out four home runs and getting twin three-hitters from Taryne Mowatt and Lindsey Sisk. A third game was rained out. On Tuesday the Cats took their game on the road and met a re-energized UTEP squad that took a 9-6 victory in the first game of a doubleheader. Arizona regrouped and banged out 10 hits to take the nightcap, 8-2. The games dropped UA to 7-5 away from home ?C where theyˇ?ll be for 11 of their next 13 games. The Cats are hitting the ball fairly well (.316), have a serviceable team ERA (1.68), have above average fielding (.975) and some star power. Putting it all together is the task, notably this week.
Track the Cats: ?Free GameTracker live stats sponsored by Tucson Electric Power, are provided for all home games and many road games (depending on Internet access) via arizonaathletics.com.? Many road opponents provide the service through their web sites as well. All-Access video streaming of home games also is available through UAˇ?s web site. A number of games will be broadcast by UA partner IMG Sports and KCUB 1290 AM Radio.
Arizona Head Coach Mike Candrea: ? Mike Candrea is in his 23rd season at the helm of the Arizona softball program.? He boasts a 1,131-228-2 (.832) record in 21 seasons in the dugout.? This year, he is taking an eight-month partial leave of absence from January onward to serve as head coach for the U.S. Womenˇ?s National Team.? He poured it on his collegiate club with a 16-0 pasting at Hillenbrand Stadium Feb. 19. Candrea has earned 19 coach-of-the-year honors, including 10 Pac-10 Coach of the Year citations.? Last year, the Pac-10 tabbed Candrea as its coach of the year, and the NFCA named Candrea and his assistants its national staff of the year.? Similar to this season, Candrea took a leave of absence in 2004 to coach the USA Olympic softball team to a 9-0 record and a gold medal in Athens.? Candrea also was awarded the Olympic Shield award, the U.S. Olympic Committeeˇ?s most prestigious award, marking the first time in history the award was given to an Olympic coach.? He has led Arizona to eight national championships, 10 Pac-10 titles and is one of just five Division I coaches to have won over 1,100 career games. Despite his leave of absence he will be on hand periodically to infuse the leadership that has taken the UA softball program to the top of the game. He crossed paths at tournaments in Tempe and Palm Springs, for example, already and was in Tucson for games last week ?C of about 17 games heˇ?ll witness home and away.
Interim Head Coach Larry Ray: With head coach Mike Candrea on leave, 17-year assistant coach Larry Ray has taken the reins of the Arizona softball program and assumes the historical record in 2008.? Ray has a 242-118 (.671) career record as a head coach, and five NCAA Championships as an assistant.? Ray possesses a powerful combination of head coaching experience and familiarity with Arizona softball.? Ray spent five years as Floridaˇ?s first head coach, and in 1998 he was named the SEC Coach of the Year after leading the Gators to an SEC Eastern Division title and a trip to the NCAA Regional Championships.? He returned to Arizona in 2002, and in 2004 he led the Wildcats to a 55-6 record and a Pacific-10 Championship. Ray is assisted by Dave Feinberg and volunteer pitching coach Gale Bundrick.
Yard Balls: ?Arizona has 45 home runs in 24 games, with punch throughout the lineup ?C eight players have three or more, five have five or more four-baggers. The Cats have a 10-game home run hitting streakˇ? The 1.86 per game clip would lead the country at the end of most years. But the schedule doesnˇ?t get easier. The Catsˇ? juggernaut team in 2001 hit 126 for the NCAA-record of 1.83. UA hit 100 only one other time, also to lead the country in total round-trippers. This year 12 different players have chipped in by hitting it out. That could be one reason no one pitches around anyone in the order ?C UA has not been issued an intentional walk this seasonˇ? Callista Balko leads the way with eight, but three players have six apiece ?C Laine Roth, Jenae Leles and Stacie Chambers. Kˇ?Lee Arredondo has five. Balko and Arredondo have grand slams. Balko, Stacie Chambers, Leles and Kemp each have two in a game. Balko hit two in one inning vs. La Salle, when pinch-hitter Corinna Gonzalez also joined in to make it three in one frameˇ? UA has 20 two-out homersˇ? UA has inning leadoff homers by Brittany Lastrapes (3), Chambers and Sarah Akamineˇ?Corinna Gonzalez got her first career hit against La Salle March 7 ?C a pinch-hit three-run bombˇ? Roth had a three-run pinch-hit blast in the loss at UTEP, and then had a three-run homer in the top of the first in UAˇ?s victory in Game 2 on Tuesdayˇ?
HRBIs : The Cats have driven in 89 runs this year with home runs alone. Not too bad to pick up 3.70 runs per game with the real long ball.
No Sitting Schutzler: ?Freshman outfielder Lauren Schutzler wormed her way into the lineup, then higher into the batting order, in recent weeks. Not hard to figure out why. Sheˇ?s the teamˇ?s leading hitter at .429. She hit .500 in her last six games, 9-for-18.
Leading Off :? Freshman leadoff hitter Brittany Lastrapesˇ? game is a bit more powerful than her predecessorˇ?s (Caitlin Lowe). She touts a .638 slugging percentage, built with three home runs, a triple and a team-high eight doubles. A total of 28 runs in 24 games shows she gets on base and can score.
Streaking : Lastrapes has the best current hitting streak, five games. DP/catcher Stacie Chambers saw her team-best 12-game streak snapped two weeks agoˇ? Schutzler has a four-game streakˇ? Substitute Jessica McNamara checks in next with a 3-game hitting streak, two of those pinch-hitsˇ? Lindsey Sisk has an 8-game winning streak in her last eight decisions in the circleˇ?

I had two wedding dresses. One for the ceremony and formal pictures, and another for the reception. This was my ceremony/formal pictures dress so I only wore it for a total of 3 hours. It is such a beautiful dress and I received so many compliments but it does not make any sense for me to keep 2 dresses.
I also purchased a Watters sash to add some "bling" to the dress. The dress was purchased for $1,700 and the sash was an additional $500.
- Label Size: 6
- Street Size: 4
- Bust: 34C
- Waist: 26inches
- Hips:
- Height with Shoes: 5' 10
- Alterations: The dress is a size 6 but I usually wear a size 4/Small in my regular clothes. Bridal gowns do have an odd sizing. I did have to take in the dress a little along the sides and I added breast cups because the way the back is designed, it does not allow you to wear a bra.
- Color: Ivory
- Silhouette: Trumpet
- Material: Lace
- Neckline: V-neck
- Style: Applique, Belt/Sash, Classic, Vintage
- Condition: Used
- Original Owner: Yes

Osborne criticises Spain bailout
George Osborne has said the failure of the Spanish bank bailout is "depressing" as the banks had to be directly recapitalised into to convince the markets of its credibility. Spain's borrowing costs have hit the highest level for 13 years.
Live updates
Spanish banks 'not' a threat to euro's stability
Spanish banks are not a danger for the stability of the euro and they will receive enough funds for recapitalisation, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said.
Spain's economic misery will 'worsen'
Spain's deep economic misery will get worse this year despite the country's request for a European financial lifeline of up to 100 billion euros (£80 billion) to save its banks, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said.
Spain will stay stuck in its second recession in three years, and more Spaniards will lose their jobs in a country where one in every four are already unemployed, Rajoy said a day after the country became the fourth and largest of the 17 countries that use the common currency to request a bailout.
G7 welcomes Euro zone's bailout plan for Spain
The Group of Seven developed nations has welcomed the euro zone's plan to recapitalize Spanish banks, saying it marked an important step toward more fiscal integration in the region.
Lagarde: IMF ready to support implementation of Spain's bank bailout
Christine Lagarde, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), says her organisation stands ready to support the implementation and monitoring of the financial assistance for Spain's banks.
European Commission welcomes Spain's bailout request
The European Commission has welcomed Spain's request for aid for its banks, made to the euro zone's finance ministers on this evening, and said it was ready to proceed "swiftly" with necessary assessments and propose appropriate conditions on the sector.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn said in a statement:
Spain's banks get bailout - but the terms are unclear
Eurozone agrees to loan 100 billion Euros for Spanish banks
The Eurozone has agreed to loan Spain up to 100 billion Euros for its banks, according to a Eurogroup statement.
Financial assistance to Spain would be provided by theEuropean Financial Stability Facility for the recapitalisation of its financial institutions.
The move is designed to halt a run on the country's banks.
Spain will ask for cash to help struggling banks
Luke Baker covers eurozone news for the Reuters news agency:
Eurozone bailout: Is Spain ready to ask for help?
Spain waits to ask for euro aid
Spain will make a request for aid from its euro zone partners, but not until it has a clearer idea of the amount of capital its banks needs from private-sector audits, three EU sources told Reuters today.
Spain indicated during a conference call of the euro zone's 17 finance ministers that it wanted aid for its banks but wouldn't specify the amount until Oliver Wyman and Roland Berger, two independent consultants, deliver their assessment of the capital needs some time before June 21.
"They want the aid, but they'll only say how much in a few days' time," one of the sources said.

Even though there has been no official announcement from Redmond-based Microsoft it is starting to look that there will be a surface mini tablet. It was a third party that is selling a cases for the small tablet that listed an two ads, a portfolio an a smart case, on Amazon. Both of the ads have the case available on May 18, 2014 which leads one to believe that surface mini will also be available around midway through next month. If these ads hold true it will mean that the final holdout among the major technology companies will join the small tablet marketplace.
Even though there had been 7-inch tablets before it wasn't until Seattle-based Amazon released the Kindle Fire, in mid November of 2011, that the small tablet market became a serious contender. It wasn't long until rumors starting coming out that Apple, the company that once stated 7-inch tablet are DOA, would be making their own mini tablet. In October of 2012 those rumors proved true when Apple gave us the iPad mini. After that people wondered just how long it would be before the Redmond-based giant would join the party. Then in an April 11, 2013 Report the Wall Street Journal hinted that there was a Surface mini in the works. With it looking as though the Surface mini is coming one question still needs to be asked. is it too late for Microsoft to be competitive?
There had been a few companies making Windows-based tablets when Microsoft decided to put out their own tablet, almost two years ago, dubbed the Surface. The Surface or any of the other Windows-based tablets went on to be a major player in the still growing mobile market. Since that time though Microsoft has gone through some major restructuring including a new CEO that seems to have put some new life into the company. Windows 8/8.1 has also been gaining some ground that could help the company make a splash in the small tablet market. With all of these changes maybe it is the right time for Microsoft to hat in the ring.

NBA CBA 'A-B-Cs': A luxury 'super' tax
(When the NBA resumes play, the league will find itself dealing with a new collective-bargaining agreement, one that could impact how the Heat do business going forward. This is the second in a series of evaluations of such aspects.)
The issue: The just expired collective-bargaining agreement included a dollar-for-dollar tax for payroll that exceeds a certain preset threshold (this past season it kicked in at $70 million). So if you were operating above the threshold and re-signed a certain player, that player's salary would count double in overall cost ($5 million in salary paid to player, $5 million paid into a tax fund redistributed by the NBA to teams operating below the tax). Now there is talk of multiplying that tax depending on how far above the tax threshold a team chooses to operate. (So such a $5 million contract could wind up costing a team $15 million or even $20 million in overall payout.) There also is consideration to reduce how often over a certain period of years a team can even utilize the tax or whether Bird Rights would remain open to a "tax" team.
The Heat aspect: The Heat already have $71 million in committed payroll for 2013-14 and $76 million for 2014-15, based on the contracts of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Mike Miller, Udonis Haslem and Joel Anthony. In other words, if the Heat were to utilize cap exceptions at that stage, it likely would put Micky Arison well into what apparently will be a highly punitive tax.
We say: It's not as if Arison and Pat Riley didn't know what they were getting into when they signed the Big Three in 2010. To pull back on spending now would be to pull back on the commitment made to the Big Three (and, remember, each of the Big Three has the ability to opt out as early as the 2014 offseason). Riley long has said Arison is willing to spend into the tax when it comes to championship contention, which is where the Heat should stand in coming seasons.

My boss likes to say that Virginia State Parks is in the Memory Making business. Families are busier than ever with parents' (often both) work schedules, school and homework for the kids, and a variety of after school activities. With everyone pulled in different directions, spring break is an oasis from all that stress.
Instead of planning some elaborate spring break trip that could be more stressful than your normal day to day life, why not visit one of our 36 Virginia State Parks to relax and have fun with the family?
Dad watches as children hunt for fossils and shells at York River State Park
All of our parks are offering special activities for Spring Break and with Earth Week and Arbor Day in the mix, there are even some opportunities to give back by volunteering or to learn about how to be environmentally friendly in your daily lives. Some of the programs and events are ranger-led and others are self-guided but all will get you outside and enjoying nature.
