TUCSON, Ariz. - University of Arizona men's golfer Chris Nallen was tabbed as one of 20 semifinalists for the Ben Hogan Award in an announcement made by the Friends of Golf and Colonial Country Club in association with the Golf Coaches Association of America. The award is given to the nation's outstanding male college golfer.
Nallen, a sophomore from Blairstown, N.J., currently leads Arizona with a 71.41 stroke average through nine events in 2001-02. Fifteen of his 27 rounds this season have been at par of better, including six rounds in the 60s. Nallen has two top-five and four top-10 finishes to his credit this season, and is coming off a top-five effort at last week's Oregon Duck Invitational in which he carded a five-under 211 total, including a season-low round of 65.
All told this season, Nallen has finished in the top 20 in eight of nine events. Four of his tournament totals have been at par or better, including a career-low eight-under-par 208 at the Taylor Made Red River Classic in October. A third team All-America and Soft Spikes national all-Freshman pick last season, Nallen has a 71.64 stroke average for his collegiate career.
Founded in 1990, the Ben Hogan Award will be presented on Monday, May 13, at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas. The winner is a student-athlete who exhibits excellence in academics and college golf as selected by the GCAA. The Hogan Award takes into consideration a player's collegiate and amateur record from May 1, 2001, to May 1, 2002.
Nallen and the Wildcats will next be in action on April 5-7 at the U.S. Collegiate Championships in Tucson. The 54-hole event will be contested at Tucson National Golf Course, a par 72, 7,138-yard layout.

It's no secret that One Direction as a group is very wealthy, but as expected Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson are predicted to be the wealthiest members of the group thanks to numerous writing credits and a special writing as well as a business partnership between the two. The pair co-wrote many of the songs on their last album, "Midnight Memories," including the title track, as well as "Better Than Words," and more. And the dynamic duo are set to do the same on their upcoming fourth album.
In a new interview released on Monday (March 3), Liam reportedly told The Sun, "Louis and I have a little partnership going on. We've been pretty keen to start writing straight away. I've been in the studio already, it's been going really well. Learning how to write is the best way of ensuring your career has longevity and that you have control over it."
He added: "I really think the next album is going to be a game-changer for us…I'm excited."
Back in February, Liam also revealed that he thinks their new album will also appeal to a male audience saying, "People say we don't work hard and it's all a game and whatever. We just wanna make good music, and this album – honestly, every lad out there tonight who's thinking One Direction are this and that. Literally, next album – pick up our album and see what you feel."
One Direction's fourth album is expected to be out later this year and it will be their fourth album in four years. The group will also kick off their Where We Are Stadium Tour in South America in April before coming to America later this year. The tour does not include Sports Authority Field in Denver, but they will be playing venues in Phoenix, St. Louis, Dallas, and more stadiums across the United States.
Are you excited for One Direction's fourth album and more songs written by Liam and Louis?

This is a special memorial edition. The Doobie Brothers have suffered a loss.
…and there are so many more, I would post them all. But this blog entry would go on for pages.
Anyhow, here's the official news: (H/T The Detroit Free Press)
March 13,2012—Sonoma CA—Longtime Doobie Brothers drummer Mike Hossack passed away peacefully yesterday March 12 at his home in Dubois, Wyoming after a long battle with cancer he was 65. Doobie Brothers manager Bruce Cohn made the announcement. [PHOTOS]
"Mike was a one-of-a kind guy and a long-time member of the Doobie Brothers," remembers Cohn. "He was a fighter and fought the big battle with cancer and he was a close personal friend of mine and I speak for Mike's family and the entire band when I say he will be greatly missed."
The Doobie Brothers Tom Johnston remembered Hossack, "Mike has always been a part of my musical life and the life of the Doobie Brothers; from our earliest singles, like China Grove and Blackwater to our most recent single Brighter Day. He was an incredible musician, a studio quality drummer. The last few years, he was brave and determined to keep on playing in the face of ill health, and I will always admire him for that. He was a terrific dad and family man, and we will all miss him."
The Doobie's Pat Simmons, who was a close friend of Hossack's, said, "When my kids were little, they used to call him Big Mike, because to them he was such a big guy. But to me and those who knew him, he had an even a bigger heart. We were friends for 43 years and we shared some wonderful adventures together, times I will never forget. Thanks for all those wonderful memories Mike, and all the great music. We love you."
Michael Hossack was born in Paterson, New Jersey on October 17, 1946 (a real baby boomer). At age twelve Mike started playing drums in the Little Falls Cadets, a Boy Scout Drum and Bugle Corp. He credits his drum instructors, Joe Whelan (Little Falls Cadets), Bob Peterson (Our Lady of Lourdes Cadets), and George Tuttle (Fair Lawn Cadets) for teaching him the disciplines of playing with other drummers.
Thanks for the music Mike. Rest in peace. 🙁 😥
Prayers for the members and past members of The Doobie Brothers and The Hossack Family.
Get the Music, I am sure the guys could use the help right now:

Iwi failing to promote Whanau Ora funding
Iwi are failing to push their whanau to apply for funding assistance through Whanau Ora, because they don't see any direct financial benefit for themselves, official documents have revealed.
An evaluation of how the $7.7 million Whanau Integration, Innovation and Engagement fund is being handled by staff has highlighted several gaps in the fund's administration.
The report reveals that of the iwi working with the fund's lead agency, Te Puni Kokiri, it's a "challenge" to get them to think beyond the financial return they'll get from pushing their whanau to apply for help.
The report also found that a large number of iwi have zero involvement with the fund, losing the opportunity to access several thousands of dollars to help families in need.
An iwi leaders' symposium to discuss the Whanau Ora fund and how it might help struggling whanau within their iwi has been proposed.

Marine Layer HR Careers at Marine Layer Marine Layer 2016-06-24T19:38:07Z tag:jobscore.com,2012-06-05:/dcXMSqRZer4AmZeJe4bk1X Ecommerce Director tag:jobscore.com,2013-03-22:/bJzWwGKZyr4RBiiGakhP3Q 2013-03-22T21:40:01Z
 Job Title

 E-commerce Director

 The Company

 Marine Layer locally designs and manufactures its own line of casual apparel. We primarily sell through three branded retail stores in San Francisco and marinelayer.com. We are fast-growing company whose success has been built on a small and passionate team that works hard and has a lot of fun.

 Our stores have experienced tremendous success and our online business has grown steadily despite a lack of attention and resources dedicated to it. But that is going to change!

 Job Description

 We're looking for a smart and energetic person to oversee the day-to-day aspects of our growing web business while also implementing new strategic initiatives to foster growth of this channel. As with all start-ups, this will require—above all else—the ability to roll up your sleeves and balance a wide variety of tasks including, but not limited to:

 · Oversight and management of:

 o Front-end appearance and merchandising of our site

 o Inventory management and order fulfillment

 o Customer service

 o Execution of weekly email campaigns

 · Direct Responsibilities:

 o Manage all 3rd party development initiatives

 o Strategic management of online analytics

 § Traffic, sales and customer data

 o Implement and optimize our limited online ad spend

 § primarily retargeting as of now, but open to new ideas

 o Working with our photographer and marketing associate (this is the same person) to ensure that our digital assets are being leveraged across our site and social media channels.

 Qualifications

 · Attention to Detail. Running an e-commerce site requires a high level of attention to detail. The successful candidate for this position will be able to ensure that their small team can handle a variety of disparate tasks on a daily basis in a fast-paced environment.

 · Technical Aptitude(ish). This is not an overly "technical" web position. We don't require someone who can code or setup complex database systems. Most of our website is run through software that is pretty straightforward. But at the same time, you shouldn't be scared of a computer, and having a strong interest in how to run and optimize an e-commerce website will make this job much, much more interesting.

 · Desire to work at a start-up. A lot of people say they want to work at a start-up; not as many people really know what that means. At Marine Layer, it means we all work very hard, we believe deeply in the future of this company, and we all do a little bit of everything. Being a team player is an absolute must. You'll very likely spend some time folding shirts, packing boxes for shipment, and doing inventory late at night from time to time. If you believe in our brand this stuff is strangely more fun than it sounds.

 · Experience a plus, willingness to learn required. Every successful person at this company has had two things in common. One, they had no prior experience in apparel, manufacturing, design, websites, or running a company in general. Two, they were all driven to learn everything about those very same things. You will succeed in this job if you have a fierce desire to do your job well and a curiosity to learn something new. If you've got those down then don't worry about the experience part. You'll learn a lot fast. If not, we will fire you. Just kidding.

 Compensation

 · A boatload of Marine Layer shirts, this much is a given.

 · The cash money will be based on the candidate and their level of experience.

 · Equity stake in the company. We are all working towards a long-term goal of making Marine Layer a successful national brand. If we continue making great products then we'll reach that goal and you will share in the profits.

 · Full benefits including health care, gym membership and cell-phone re-imbursement.

 Apply

 · Shoot [[redacted]] your resume along with a thoughtful email about why you think this would be a good fit for you and how will help our company.

 Referrals

 · Almost everyone at Marine Layer is a friend of a friend (or just a friend). This has worked pretty well for us so far and we'd like to keep it going.

 · If you know of anyone please pass this along.

 · If we hire them and they stick around for a little while without blowing us up you get a $500 Marine Layer gift card.

"True Blood' recently released it's first trailer for its seventh and final season. The video may be seen at the top of this article.
This video focuses on the infected vampires and once again a government themed conspiracy and the fact that they are leaving the people to fight for themselves once again. You can hear Sookie's voice over about "being on their own", "government disappearing", and "everyone turning on each other."
The video shows Jason, Sam, Sookie, Alcide, and Andy fighting together to try and save Bon Temps. It appears that the infected vampires have attacked a church and killed many humans and that of course the vampires and the humans are not getting along at all. Heck it appears that the humans aren't getting along with other humans.
This video didn't show anything about Sarah Newlin and her family returning to Bon Temps, nor the Japanese villain who is coming to "clean up" the Tru Blood mess and put the vampires in line.
It also doesn't show the relationships between the humans/shifters and the vampires. It looks like the vampires are fighting on their own against the infected ones.
Can the vampires and humans work together and eventually live together? Well, we will see how the writers of "True Blood" decides to close the story.
Remember that "True Blood" will be returning to HBO on June 22 for a ten episode final season.

An earlier episode involving Sania's dress code and a religious leader issuing a religious edict to dress as a Muslim girl had raked up controversy and Sania refused to speak on the issue.
She had also denied that her remarks at the Summit that whether her dress was six inches in length was not made in the context of religious edict issued on the subject.
Muslim clerics had reportedly issued a religious edict taking objection to Sania's apparel during tennis matches which they said was un-Islamic.
And distancing herself from her reported support to South Indian film star Khushboo on the issue of pre-marital sex, tennis star Sania Mirza said her belief was otherwise. Maintaining that she was deeply pained at the maligning of her image and making a non-issue into a serious controversy by misquoting her on the pre-marital sex issue.....
saniaaa....plzz Concentrate in play....
why she involving these controversy's....?

Amazing Christmas Light Displays
AMAZING CHRISTMAS LIGHT DISPLAYS - It is certainly not unusual for some people to go all out and illuminate the whole street with a display of Christmas lights that cover their homes and front yards and it is rather nice to see that some people take the effort to bring in a little Christmas cheer for all of us to enjoy.
What is truly amazing is that some people go well beyond simply covering their homes and yards with light but actually go to the time, trouble and expense of creating a truly magical display.
I was answering a message on YouTube when another friend of mine posted a video. The video was accompanied by the song Amazing Grace, techno style, with a home that was professionally covered in Christmas lights by Holdman.com, which reacted in time with the music.
While Meebal.com is not about promoting any type of business, there are the odd occasions when it is right to do so due to really cool content. What meebal.com is about is providing interesting articles and widen the exposure of things of importance and truly inspiring which is why this is being featured. Below I have included just a couple of videos produced by Holdman.com which are obviously designed to show people what they are capable of producing and I must say these are just incredible.
Now that you have watched the videos I am sure you are just as inspired as I. You have to admire the lengths some people will go to, and of course the cost, in order to produce a Christmas Light Display that goes well beyond sticking up a few fairy lights and a reindeer that's nose flashes on and off.
As everyone gets into the spirit of Christmas there are those who take lighting up their home to a whole new level, as you can see from the video above. There have been numerous reports, both local and international, where people are spending vast sums of money in order to outdo their neighbours efforts in producing the most spectacular display of Christmas lights – I'm just glad I'm not the one having to pay the electricity bill.

Windows 8 2013 Download
Windows 8 2013 Reimagined
Welcome to Windows 8. Windows has been reimagined to focus on your life. The beautiful, fast, and fluid design is perfect for a range of hardware: from compact, touch-enabled tablets and lightweight laptops, to PCs and large, powerful all-in-ones with high-definition screens. It's smooth, intuitive, and gives you instant access to your people, apps, and stuff, so you spend less time searching and more time doing.
You'll love browsing through the Windows Store and downloading apps to help you work more efficiently, or installing the latest games so you can compete with friends.
Apps can work together, too, so you can share photos, maps, contacts, links, and whatever else you want. No matter what you want to do, you can get it done quickly in Windows 8. Whether you're completing a project, playing a game, or reading a book, with Windows 8, you can use touch, mouse, and keyboard together—seamlessly—to do what you want, the way you want.
No need to choose one or the other. It starts quickly and it's cloud-connected so you can access your photos, documents, and settings on any Windows 8 PC.
Windows 8 2013 for tablet The new Start screen
The new Start screen has all of the information you care about in one place, such as your contacts, the weather, and the next appointment on your calendar. Windows 8 is truly yours: websites, playlists, photo albums, contacts, and your favorite apps are front and center. Because you decide how to organize and group things on the screen, viewing and interacting with content is faster than ever.
The tiles on your Start screen are brimming with content, and they change and update in real time so you can see what's going on and stay on top of things. You can share and connect with other people in a couple of clicks, and get real-time updates about things like news, sports, and what your friends are up to. Check your schedule or get the latest weather forecast. Tiles are a quick way to see it all. Launch apps, switch between tasks, and check notifications without digging for information. It's all right here on the Start screen.
Windows 8 also incorporates the PC desktop that you're already familiar with. In the desktop, you'll see that the settings and features you used in Windows 7 are still there.
Windows 8 2013 Presentation and Installation
Windows 8 2013 Touch, keyboard, and mouse: seamless integration
Windows 8 is hands-on and designed to eliminate the need to choose. You don't have to "work" on your PC and "play" on your tablet. The most efficient way to get stuff done is immediately available. Whether you're browsing apps, reading a book, or typing on the go with touch, creating a project that requires the more productive horsepower of a traditional mouse and keyboard, or doing everything at once, Windows 8 makes it easy. You use whatever works best, whenever it works best. No tradeoffs.
On new, touch-enabled PCs, the things you can do with a mouse and keyboard are just as easy to do with touch. You can switch between apps, organize your Start screen, and pan and zoom. With the touch keyboard, you can navigate, type, and interact on the go. Because you work in different ways depending on which app you're using, Windows 8 makes it easy to use whichever method works best.
The touch keyboard has two modes designed to suit the way you work. You get a full-sized keyboard with large buttons, or a handy thumb keyboard that splits the keys on either side of the screen, making it easy and more comfortable to use on the go. Typing feels natural whether you're sitting down or walking around.
The Windows 8 keyboard speaks your language. On new, touch-enabled PCs, the keyboard layout automatically adjusts to the language you choose for Windows, so your language settings apply to the whole PC rather than just certain apps. Whether you want to type and click, swipe and tap, or do a combination of both, you can navigate and work easily and efficiently in the language of your choice with Windows 8.
Windows 8 2013 is cloud-connected
Your Windows everywhere
Sign in and your Windows 8 device becomes yours because your personalization, desktop background, and settings are all there. Whether you set it up once just the way you want it or change it often, when you sign in even a brand-new PC lights up with everything that makes Windows yours. And anyone you share your Windows 8 PC with can have their own personalized, cloud-connected access by signing in with their own Microsoft account.
Start a project on one PC, and finish it on another. When you use the cloud to store your information, the boundaries between devices dissolve. Your apps, games, music, photos, files, and settings aren't stored on one device because they're in one place: the cloud.
Sign in to any of your Windows 8 PCs and access all of your stuff from virtually anywhere.
Connected to your people
Use mail and messaging apps to communicate with all your friends, family, and co-workers. And you won't need to invite them twice. If you have contacts all over the place, you're in luck because whether you originally added a contact in Outlook.com, Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, or some other service, if you choose to connect them, that contact is available in your apps as soon as you sign in to your PC with your Microsoft account. You can have a fully connected address book with the People app. See the people you care about, their updates, and all the different ways to communicate and share with them—all in one place.
The People
Connected to your files
Your Microsoft account goes where you go. You can switch from one Windows 8 device to another and be ready to pick up where you left off just by signing in. When your files are in the cloud and you have an Internet connection, you can access photos and other files on Microsoft SkyDrive just like you access other things on your PC, and you can get to them from any web-connected device.
Family safety in the cloud
With Microsoft Family Safety, you can set up accounts for your children so you don't have to worry as much about their online activity. Family Safety will monitor your children's activities and let you know what they're doing. By connecting your account, you'll be able to get weekly email reports in your inbox. You can also set up web filtering, time limits,
and app restrictions.
Windows 8 2013 All the apps you want
Built-in apps
With Windows 8, your entire PC is cloud-connected. You'll have new Microsoft Mail, Calendar, SkyDrive, Photos, People, and Messaging apps that are connected to services like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter just by adding them to your Microsoft account.
With SkyDrive, you don't need to worry about being able to access your documents and photos on other PCs because when they're in SkyDrive, you can access them from any device with an Internet connection.
The Xbox apps and the Video and Music apps give you the best in entertainment. Videos you buy are available for playback both on Windows 8 and on your Xbox 360. Get access to over 15 million songs, and play back songs in your personal library, all with the Music app. You also get the best games on the premiere gaming service, the Xbox Live Games app. Connect and play with friends, and create your own unique gamer avatar. You can even find and purchase games for your Xbox 360.
Mail allows you to see all of your accounts in one place, whether it's Outlook.com, Gmail, or your company's Exchange mail. You can pin email accounts to the Start screen so you can see your new mail on the live Mail tile without opening the Mail app. You can even pin individual folders to stay up to date. Want to read or reply? Click the tile and go straight to your inbox. You can even send a file from your PC and have it automatically uploaded to SkyDrive for recipients to see.
Just like the Mail app, Calendar combines your information by pulling together your multiple calendars into a single day, week, or month view. You decide which of your calendars are shown, and you can adjust the colors to suit your preferences. Pinning the Calendar app to the Start screen means you see upcoming events on the tile. You can even choose to see upcoming appointments on the Windows lock screen so you won't have to unlock your PC to see what's going on.
The Photos app pulls all of your pictures together into one place. So now your albums from Facebook, Flickr, SkyDrive, and all of the pictures you store on your PC are there when you connect your Microsoft account to these services.
The People app is your most complete address book. You can include contacts from Outlook.com, Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Gmail, and others. Quickly see what's new, share an update, comment, or initiate a conversation with the Messaging app.
With the Messaging app on your Windows 8 PC, you can chat with Messenger or Facebook friends from one convenient place.
With the Reader app, you can read PDF, XPS or OXPS documents. You can interact with your PDFs by highlighting, adding text annotations, printing, and sharing.
Apps work together
In Windows 8, apps work together so you can share information between them and streamline your work. For example, the Photos and Mail apps are connected, so you can select a picture from an album in your Photos app and email it to one of your contacts with a single click. No more opening your mail separately and attaching the picture. You can enable apps to include content from SkyDrive, share with your contacts in the People app, and send mail to people you know.
Windows 8 2013 Store
After you decide, you can buy with peace of mind because before an app makes it to the Windows Store, it's screened and checked for viruses.
You can download your apps on more than one Windows 8 PC so there's no need to buy it twice. After you install an app from the Windows Store, you can sign in to the Store on up to five other PCs and see a list of all of the apps you own. You can pick and choose the apps you want to install on other PCs without having to search for and install them individually.
Designed for discovery
The Windows Store is designed to make it easy to discover apps without getting lost. You can search or browse by category or lists of top apps to find the apps you want. You'll see compelling apps featured on the front page and you'll have no trouble finding apps because they're organized in categories like New releases, Top paid, Top free, and Rising stars.
Protecting children
Using Family Safety, you can change settings to determine what your children can download
and see in the Windows Store. Setting up a rating level filters the apps and games that
children can access and provides a safer environment based on your preferred restrictions.
Windows 8 2013 on a wide range of hardware
Windows 8 has the flexibility you need. It combines the convenience and mobility of a tablet with the productivity of a laptop or PC and gives you a great experience—practically anywhere.
Longer life
Windows 8 is designed to deliver a great experience across many different devices, from ultra-fast desktops to low-power tablets. Because Windows 8 can run on low-power CPUs, you can work much longer on a single charge. That means you can stay connected so your PC is ready when you are. Battery life is longer and connections are stronger so you'll be able to find a device to suit you for work or play.
Lower power requirements are also helped by the growing number of energy-efficient devices that are designed to work with Windows 8.
Share between devices
Tap and Do works on mobile devices equipped with Near Field Communications (NFC) so you can tap two devices together and share information. Tap and Setup is another feature available with Windows 8 that lets you easily connect wireless devices, like keyboards, mice, headphones, and speakers by simply tapping them against your PC. No more PINs or complicated setup steps!
More options for devices
Windows senses compatible wireless printers, TVs, speakers, and Xbox 360s on your home network and makes them ready to use automatically. Setup can be as easy as connecting your device to your home network.
Windows 8 2013 Internet Explorer 10: a more beautiful web
Fast and fluid
It starts and loads sites almost instantly. It brings a fluid responsiveness to the web that feels totally new. Everything you want to do on the web is a swipe, tap, or click away.
Perfect for touch
Internet Explorer 10 provides a touch first and a truly full-screen browsing experience. Navigation controls appear only when you need them and quietly get out of the way when you don't. You can flip ahead or back through your websites with the flick of a finger. Tiles and tabs for frequently visited sites are oversized for easy tapping.
Easy to use
Smooth, intuitive controls work just as you'd expect. One box is both the address and search bar for speedier navigation. Pin your favorite sites to your Start screen and get to them as quickly as you access your apps.
Safer and more private
The industry-leading SmartScreen technology helps keep your PC and your information safer on the web and helps protect against socially-engineered malware. Privacy tools like Do Not Track are built-in and are easily enabled in just one click, so you have more control.
Windows 8 2013 for business
Focused on business and people
Windows 8 is reimagined to support different working styles. It's more intuitive so you can find what you need faster and easier. The new look of Windows and the new app model make it easier for businesses to create their own line-of-business apps to help improve productivity.
Windows 8 improves on Windows 7 fundamentals like speed, reliability, security, and other essentials that are important to IT administrators. And it works seamlessly with an existing Windows management infrastructure.
The better business tablet
Windows 8 tablets bring together the convenience and mobility of a tablet with the productivity of a PC. With full support for touch, mouse, and keyboard, Windows 8 tablets run the majority of apps that run on Windows 7 PCs today. Windows 8 provides new opportunities for line-of-business apps, especially on tablets. Line-of-business Windows apps can help enhance productivity, with full-screen apps that allow workers to more easily interact with the apps.
New possibilities for mobile productivity
With Windows 8, it's easier for people in your business to get connected and stay connected. IT pros can help ensure that corporate data is safer and more secure. Great new features and enhancements mean that road warriors can take their Windows 8 computers with them, confident that the built-in Wi-Fi and mobile broadband solutions can help them stay connected whether they're on-site with a customer, waiting for a flight, or working from a branch office.
Built-in mobile broadband features in Windows 8 add support for 3G and 4G telecommunication, enabling business users on the go to connect to the Internet immediately. Windows 8 mobile broadband support can help businesses keep data usage costs low with built-in mobile broadband metering. As mobile users move between locations, Windows 8 automatically uses Wi-Fi hotspots, if they're available.
Windows To Go is a cost-effective solution for alternative workplace scenarios. In Windows 8 Professional and Windows 8 Enterprise editions, IT administrators can provide employees with a corporate Windows image on a certified USB storage device that includes line-of-business apps, settings, and corporate data. Off-site users can have a consistent Windows 8 experience on any Windows 7 or Windows 8 logo-certified corporate or personal PC. With Windows To Go, employees get a rich, consistent, and personalized Windows 8 experience that's as secure as a fully managed PC. When they shut down, they can remove the USB device and no data is left on the host PC.
DirectAccess allows remote users to more securely and seamlessly access resources inside of a corporate network without having to launch a separate virtual private network (VPN) connection to the corporate network.
BranchCache downloads files and apps from a corporate headquarters, storing this data in the branch office. Client PCs in the branch office can access the content locally, rather than repeatedly downloading it from headquarters. By using BranchCache, you can reduce the time required for branch workers to access data on the network.
In Windows 8 Enterprise, BranchCache can store more data and serve more clients. Multiple hosted cache servers can be used in a single office, making deployment possible in offices of any size. The feature also includes cache encryption and removes the requirement for additional disk encryption technologies. This helps simplify deployment and helps to improve data security. Windows 8 uses Windows file server's state-of-the-art technology to divide files into small pieces and eliminate duplicates. This results in greater bandwidth savings and better network performance.
Enhanced end-to-end security
Windows 8 provides enterprise-class security capabilities that keep clients more secure against malware intrusion, better protected with easy-to-deploy data encryption, and more protected with strong access control to resources.
Trusted Boot helps protect the end-to-end boot process and virtually eliminates the possibility for malware to hijack the boot process or hide from antimalware software. On Windows devices equipped with UEFI 2.3.1, the UEFI Secure Boot feature ensures that the OS loader is the first piece of software that starts. The Windows 8 Trusted Boot feature protects the integrity of the remainder of the boot process, including the kernel, system files, boot critical drivers, and even the antimalware software itself. The system's antimalware software is the first 3rd party application or driver to start. Moving antimalware into the Trusted Boot process prevents it from being tampered with. In the event that malware is able to successfully tamper with the boot process Windows can automatically detect and repair the system.
Measured boot validates, signs, and stores boot information in the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip. This enables a remote service to validate a computer's integrity (called remote attestation).
BitLocker drive encryption helps protect corporate data on mobile PCs that include a TPM chip. On Windows 8 Professional and Windows 8 Enterprise editions, BitLocker now encrypts hard drives more quickly, helping to keep data safe without significantly interrupting worker productivity. BitLocker now supports encrypted drives, which are hard drives that come pre-encrypted from the manufacturer. BitLocker offers a variety of solutions for different business needs.
AppLocker is a simple and flexible mechanism that allows IT administrators to specify exactly the apps that are allowed to run on employees' PCs. On Windows 8 editions that support Group Policy, AppLocker uses Group Policy to allow or restrict the types of files that people can use. This helps prevent unapproved or potentially harmful apps.
SmartScreen services are a set of sophisticated technologies that help protect users from malicious sites and software that they might encounter on the Internet. If this is turned on at startup, the technologies check the reputation of any new app or website, helping to keep users safe no matter what browser they're using. This helps to prevent malware and other viruses from infiltrating your organization.
Manageability and virtualization advancements
With new device form factors and more mobile devices entering the workplace, managing devices and corporate data is more critical than ever. The trusted management and security features that millions of businesses depend on every day are a part of Windows 8, and Windows 8 works well with today's hardware options. Combined with tools that simplify compatibility testing and deployment, Windows 8 integrates seamlessly into most existing client management infrastructures.
Windows 8 is built for business
Individuals in the workplace are increasingly influencing the technology they use at work. This trend puts high expectations on IT administrators to keep their users productive and secure anytime, anywhere and across a broad range of devices.
Windows 8 is the ideal solution for businesses because it has the power and familiarity of the desktop, new ways for users to interact with line-of-business apps, and support for more mobile form factors. Along with the end-to-end security features and manageability enhancements, Windows 8 can help your employees be more productive and help keep your data more secure. Windows 8 is great for businesses because it delivers the experiences people will love and the enterprise-grade capabilities that IT departments need.
Windows 8 2013 Built on a solid foundation
Windows 8 is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7, but it's been improved on all fronts. You can install Windows 8 on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7, and you'll love how it works on new devices, too. We've designed Windows 8 with Windows 7 apps in mind because we know people often have older apps they need to use.
Speed. You'll notice improved performance and system reliability. Even on lower-power systems, Windows 8 is responsive. Your PC starts quickly, your apps run faster, and you're more secure from start to finish.
Compatibility. Getting going with Windows 8 is a breeze. Windows 8 automatically supports a wide range of devices, including printers, cameras, media players, and displays. It's designed so when you plug in your device, it works. If a device has a companion app and you've turned on device companion apps during setup, you'll receive the app automatically so you can share photos, connect with friends, and much more. And because Windows requires less memory, there's more room to run your apps.
Connected. Many apps are better when you're connected. Windows helps keep you connected by switching to the network with the best quality so you can have a great experience with your PC. Windows 8 provides a number of new features that make it
effortless to connect your PC to available networks and help keep you connected as you change locations. Windows 8 connects to one network at a time and prioritizes networks that are typically less expensive and faster. Windows also automatically switches you from a lower-prioritized network to a higher-prioritized network, if one becomes available.
Better Protected. Windows Defender provides antimalware protection so you can be more secure from start up to shut down. If you don't have another malware scanner installed, Defender monitors and helps protect your PC against viruses and other malware in real time and detects and removes malware if your PC becomes infected. Windows 8 provides new ways for antimalware software to reduce its impact on system performance. Windows 8 manages antimalware software to help keep your PC safe while keeping an eye on performance.
More for power users
If you want to push the limits of your PC experience, we've invested in the features most often used by power users. The new, flexible options help you use your PC efficiently and quickly.
File management. Windows Explorer is enhanced to make file management and navigation straightforward. The ribbon organizes Windows Explorer and reveals features that used to be hidden. We've brought back a long-lost favorite: the Up button. It's easier to view and manage all of your file operations in one place.
Task Manager. The new Task Manager is a handy dashboard that you can use to monitor and control your PC so you always know what's going on. Color-coded tiles present information in a way that's easy to understand. You can keep track of resources efficiently and in real-time with graphs and details about processes, apps, and history.
Multiple monitors. If you're one of the many people who use multiple monitors, you'll find it more flexible than ever. With many types of hardware, you can display the Start screen on one monitor and the desktop on the others. Desktop backgrounds can be different on each monitor or can stretch across your screens.
Windows 8 all the corners and edges alive on all monitors. You can bring up Start, the charms, and app switching from the corners of any monitor. And you can launch and move full-screen apps to any monitor.
Restore and reset your PC. Windows 8 comes with a number of options to restore your PC. You can refresh your PC, which keeps all your documents, accounts, personal settings, and Windows Store apps but returns Windows to its original state. If you want to completely reset your PC, you can restore your PC to the state it was in when you first got it. You can create a recovery drive on a USB key with the files needed to refresh or reset your PC even if Windows 8 can't boot. Restoring from USB drive is a good option if you have a tablet without a disc drive or you just want to save space.
Windows Update. Windows 8 keeps your PC up to date while staying out of your way. If you turn on Windows Update during setup and your PC needs an update, Windows can install it when you're not using your PC or at a time you've specified. When an update requires you to restart your PC, we've given you more time to act on it so you can pick a time that works for you. That means you'll see fewer prompts about maintenance, updates, or restarting. You won't be slowed down by interruptions, and your PC will keep performing well.

On January 18, Milford Open Mic will host a benefit concert in the Jen Murphy Studio space they use once a month for their open mic venue (the first Saturday of the month between 7PM and 10PM). The concert of 2 bands and varied solo artists from around the area will benefit the Delaware Valley School Odyssey of the Mind (OOTM) students.
A benefit was held last year to assist these students in their travels to the World event in Michigan, where they met other students from programs all around the world. Delaware Valley Middle School placed 24th in Problem 1 Division II and 14th in Problem 4 Division II. The high school team placed 18th in Problem 5 Division III. This year's concert will help defray the cost to students and parents as they once again try to make it to this coveted event to be held at Iowa State University in May.
Here are the performers for the OOTM show (in no particular order). The Hawthorne Sisters, The Ferguson Sisters, Charlie Reynolds, Walt Edwards, Lenny Miller, Mark Ferguson, Anna Minetti, Olivia Zinn, Lou Cunningham (of Giant Robots and Blind Ferguson fame), Aragon, and Blind Men Driving.
Blind Men Driving is the featured act and will be playing the last hour of the night. Everyone else will perform between 10 and 20 minutes. Aragon will perform for about 20 to 30 minutes.
According to their website, Odyssey of the Mind is "an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and World level. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program."
If you go, Jen Murphy Studios is at 113 W. Harford Street in Milford PA. The doors open about 6PM. The concert begins at 6:30PM and goes until around 11:00PM. Tickets can be purchased at the door: $7 for adults and $3 for students.

On the surface, the idea of getting clinicians to interact with patients on social media comes with much apprehension and worry. HIPAA privacy laws are at the forefront of these concerns, and additionally, doctors have to be very careful about how they construct responses on a social networking forum for patients who might not even be their own. After all, this wouldn't be the first time the healthcare industry has dealt with social media and privacy concerns.
So you can forgive me for having my doubts leading up to a conference call last week with the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in New York City. As my colleague, Senior Editor Gabe Perna, wrote about back in October, HSS has been using Facebook chats to convey health information and raise awareness of lupus, an autoimmune disease. Last year, the hospital joined forces with a community-based lupus organization, S.L.E. Lupus Foundation, to publicize the chat, and subsequently tripled the number of participants. The chat went from 2,280 users and 60 questions in May 2012 to 6,624 people and 162 questions.
The last chat in November reached more than 7,600 people and involved more than 125 participants with questions and comments, and during the week of the Lupus Chat there was an increase of 271 new Facebook likes for the HSS page. According to the Lupus Center of Excellence at Special Surgery, the Facebook chats raised awareness, helped them reach a wider audience, and perhaps most importantly, allowed for interaction between patients and providers.
Still though, even upon hearing this, I was unsure. Many doctors still cling to pen and paper, and are most comfortable using e-technology to communicate with each other—not with patients. How would these physicians adapt outside their comfort zone? Would patients take the information the wrong way, and further, would the anonymity that comes with online communication lead to more messiness?
Jane Salmon, M.D., director of the Lupus Center of Excellence and HSS rheumatologist, makes it clear that the physicians, nurses, and social workers who participate in these chats aren't delivering healthcare, but instead giving patients guidance about where they can seek care and information from. "We're not delivering care to them; we don't know them, so we can't do that," Salmon bluntly told me in the interview last week. She added that some patients will ask about unusual alternatives to normal treatments or unconventional ideas they may have read somewhere, so the chats also serve as a way to get rid of disinformation, with all sorts of bad information on the web.
Many people—including myself—don't know too much about lupus. According to lupus.org, it is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Research estimates that at least 1.5 million Americans have lupus, but there have been no large-scale studies to show the actual number of people in the U.S. living with lupus.

When we first saw this bottle of soap in the bathroom of a fancy cocktail bar, we knew it was going to smell good. But it wasn't until we raised our soapy hands for a sniff that we realized (MALIN+GOETZ) Rum Hand Wash ($20) smells like sweet and tasty rum (it was dark in that bathroom, and we didn't read the label first). We recommend picking up a bottle, but you might need a cocktail of your own first before you drop a twenty on hand soap.
Did you find this in the Sway bathroom in Austin like I did? This stuff is amazing!

This film is being promoted as a dark comedy. I don't see it that way and I don't believe I am deficit in funny bone matter. I never once even smiled, let alone laughed. I more aptly described it as absurdist. And this is based on there being no sense or motivation or logic in the main character's and his cohorts' cold-blooded deeds. That is not to say the film lacks cohesiveness, though it may be short in purpose. It's fascinating and horrifying to watch these people go about 'their business.'
Borgman (first name Camiel, which means one who sees God and is supposedly one of the angels who expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden) seems like an enhanced, anthropomorphized demon or imp, rising from the woods' undergrowth, though the opening quote of the film, "And they descended upon the earth to strengthen their ranks," would suggest he came from the opposite direction. He is the most amoral character I've ever met in cinema, acting without an inkling of emotion or even purpose (other than desiring a bath). I have never thought of evil (or evil incarnate) as being without a goal like collecting souls or even deriving pleasure in doing evil. There doesn't even seem to be a mischievous component. One has to guess or just give up on finding a reason for Borgman's actions since we never do find one in the course of the film. I see no comparison in earthly, under-earthly or heavenly beings.
Yes, I am miffed, but there is something to be said about our protagonists -- certainly there is food for thought. Also intriguing is the wife/mother of the household in which Borgman and his crew reside. Actually, she seems a much more enigmatic and empathetic character. If, indeed, it has to do with the family's children, I still don't accept that as a reason. What's so terrible about their lives, what's better about being with Borgman? And since this was not the first house Borgman stopped at to ask for a bath, it is purely accidental that he ended up in this household at all. And what's with the two greyhounds? If you can give a cohesive account of what is happening and why, please let me know. Many have tried - from the religious pre-apocalyptic to class war. I'm not satisfied with either. I may just have to put this film in the category of David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks' (1970) woman with her pet log and moosehead on the bank's conference table -- just f---ing with our heads for lack of skill in construction.

Party like it's 1999.
After raging on for eight parties, some more eventful than others (everyone left when the microphone came out), Mario settled down for a rather lengthy five year break. Anyone would forgive him for retiring from the role of party host, but there's life in the old dog yet, as he returns for the ninth party that Bowser is looking to totally ruin.
Almost a reboot - I don't want to label Mario Party 9 as a reboot, but it's not just another cash-in (looking at you, Mario Party 7). It changes up the very tried and tested formula that otherwise hasn't really evolved since it destroyed all of your Nintendo 64 controllers in 1999.
The gameplay is still much the same. You move around a game board based on the randomness of a dice roll and play mini-games for stars. It's how you get there that's changed. First and foremost, each player isn't on their own anymore. You can't leave one poor sucker stranded at the start. You move around the board together in a car, taking turns to determine the number of spaces you'll move. You're still rivals in the star-earning stakes, but you'll have to work together to get to the end of the board.
Boss Battles - The biggest introduction is boss battles. It's hard to believe this hasn't happened in Mario Party before, and that there are still firsts for the series, even with that massive Nine on the vibrant cover. It also means you're temporarily on the same team as your car-mates, as you need to work together to defeat the boss. However, to the player who dishes out the most damage go the spoils. So while there's a cooperative element, you'll want to outshine your counterparts.
Tame mini-games - Mario Party 8 was ruined by its own ridiculously mini-games. It was released in 2007, a time in which every game was essentially a tech demo for waggling your arm like an imbecile, which almost everyone turned out to hate. We don't want to do that anymore, and neither does Mario Party 9.
Most mini-games are controlled using the pointer or with the Wii Remote held on its side like a NES pad. There's very little annoying motion control for what is essentially a compilation of mini-games. It's fantastic. Even rolling the dice is handled by the A Button, as it should be considering how often it is required. A few years ago it would have been an awkward fist pump directly above your head.
Most of the mini-games are quite enjoyable thanks to the rather tame control scheme. I hate most mini-games on Wii because they all have painfully terrible controls just because they can, but these are rather pleasant. The games are creative and the NES orientation make the controls more intuitive to a regular gamer. A small, but very notable, fix is the option to completely turn off A.I. if you have two or three players. In the past, four-player games filled the teams with computers if you didn't have enough human players, but now the games adapt to the number of people.
Forever alone - It takes at least two to Mario Party. There's a dreadfully boring solo option (that tells you you're about to waste 60 minutes of your life first) but you'll have more fun cleaning up the excrement from your many cats. Mario Party 9 isn't meant to be a single-player game, so don't rush out to buy it unless you know you'll be playing with up to three others.
Doesn't make you want to Party - Mario Party 9 changes things up, but if anything It focuses on the mini-games more than ever. That's okay, but it hasn't really departed from what made it so fun a decade ago. The problem is, gaming has. There is purposely no online mode as Mario Party is made to be played with a room full of players ready to abuse each other after a few too many beers. Mario Party 9 just doesn't make me want to do that. I'd still much prefer to pull out Mario Party 3, or maybe 5 since working Nintendo 64 controllers are hard to come by.
Mario Party never really got with the times. Number 9 is fun, don't get me wrong, but Nintendo could do so much more with the series. I want it to be more than a mini-game complication with some glimpses of board game. There could more strategy and more time spent moving around the board without relying on luck.
Most of all, I want Nintendo to give me a Mario Party that makes me throw a party. Inviting people over to game is rare these days, but Mario Party is the series that should make that happen, yet Mario Party 9 doesn't. It's more of a game that will be played when friends are already together and looking for something to do. It needed to be more than that. It needed to be the instigator of the social gathering.
Mario Party 9 follows the same gameplay structure as the long-running franchise, but changes things up with a new way to move around the game board and with the introduction of boss fights. The mini-games use the Wii Remote wisely and don't force pathetic motion controls on the player, as was the case with Mario Party 8. It leads to much improved mini-games, which now adapt to the number of human players. Unfortunately the overall experience is much the same as past games. Gaming has changed with the rise of online, but Mario Party hasn't kept up. It shouldn't be an online game; the players should be next to each other in the same room, but it needs to do something to make us want to throw a Mario Party specifically to play it and Mario Party 9 just doesn't do that.

GENERIC NAME: prochlorperazine
BRAND NAME: Compazine, Compro
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Prochlorperazine is an antiemetic (to control nausea and vomiting) and first generation antipsychotic agent. Prochlorperazine is one of the older first-generation piperazine phenothiazine antipsychotic medications. Examples of other phenothiazines include:
Although, the exact mechanism of phenothiazine antipsychotics is unknown, scientists believe that they may work by blocking the action of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (chemical) that nerves use to communicate with one another. Phenothiazine antipsychotics are used when patients do not respond to other antipsychotics.
The antiemetic benefits of prochlorperazine are due to dopamine blockade in the chemoreceptor trigger zone of the brain. Additionally, prochlorperazine has moderate effects on other neurotransmitters and receptors. Blockade of certain receptors called alpha-adrenergic receptors causes drowsiness, muscle relaxation, and adverse cardiovascular effects such as low blood pressure, reflex tachycardia, and changes in heart rhythm.
Prochlorperazine was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1956.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Prochlorperazine is used for the management of nausea and vomiting. It is also used for the management of schizophrenia, anxiety, and non-psychotic anxiety.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects associated with prochlorperazine treatment include:
The following also have been reported are movement disorders (extrapyramidal symptoms) including:
Additionally, cardiac (heart) and liver abnormalities have occurred in some patients.
Children are prone to develop extrapyramidal reactions more than adults.

MEDINA — Medina City Schools officials want to know why voters earlier this month rejected the district's proposed 3.9-mill levy before returning to the ballot with a new tax.
Superintendent Randy Stepp said that over the next couple of months, school officials will hold a series of community meetings to get feedback from the public.
"After that, the board will make a decision about what they will do about placing another levy on the ballot," he said.
The 3.9-mill, 10-year issue failed Nov. 6 by 953 votes, with 11,519 voting against it and 10,566 people voting for the tax issue, according to final unofficial results from the Medina County Board of Elections.
The levy had been expected to bring in $4.6 million each year and would have cost the owner of a $100,000 home about an additional $123 a year.
School board President Bill Grenfell said meetings would be held beginning in January.
"We've got to start considering what cuts we have to make," he said. "We're going to have some community meetings, get some feedback."
So far, Grenfell said the board has not identified what might be cut from the budget. The levy had been designed to replace funding cuts from the state.
Most of the money from levy that failed this month would have been used to maintain services, but about a quarter would have been used to bring back reading and math intervention specialists.
Grenfell said officials had been hopeful the levy would pass but not surprised it didn't, pointing out that the district has failed to pass levies for the past four years.
"There's a lot of anti-tax sentiment out there," Grenfell said.
Voters look to the state government to solve the problem of school funding, he added.
"Unfortunately the state doesn't have the financial ability to do that," he said. "The problem is ours to solve on the local level."

The Georgia High School Association baseball region schedule got underway last week and action across Gwinnett heated up. Mountain View and Parkview established themselves as front runners in their respective regions after both extended winning streaks to eight games.
While Mountain View (10-1, 1-0) has been more productive at the plate than Parkview (9-1, 5-0), 83 runs for the Bears compared with 57 for the Panthers, both have had outstanding pitching. The 23 runs each team has allowed not only lead their region, but are far better than the next closest team.

In Region 7, North (7-3, 2-0) has allowed 40 runs (4.0 per game) and is second to Mountain View (2.1) while Dacula (3-5, 0-1) trails Parkview in Region 8 having allowed 48 runs- but that is in eight games.
While Mountain View and Parkview appear to be the best all-around teams in their region, there are contenders to watch.
North Gwinnett, Norcross (7-3, 2-0) and Peachtree Ridge (8-4, 1-1) will be on the heels of Mountain View for the season title and this Region 7 promises to be a battle to the final out of the regular season.
In Region 8, Shiloh (7-5, 2-1), Archer (6-7, 2-2) and Grayson (5-6, 2-0) are threats if they get hot-and the Rams have put together a three game winning streak- but Parkview, having already gone 5-0 in region play, is going to be tough to catch. The Panthers have arguably the best stable of hurlers in the state and balance that with an offensive attack that is averaging 5.7 runs per game.

Bud Powell: Parisian Thoroughfare (solo piano version)
Parisian Thoroughfare
Bud Powell (piano)
The Best of Bud Powell on Verve (Verve 314 523 392-2)
Bud Powell (piano).
Composed by Bud Powell.
Recorded: New York, February 1951
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Bud Powell's solo piano session from early 1951 ranks among his finest dates. At a time when few modern jazz pianists dared to play without bass and drums, Powell proved that he could forge a distinctive style in an unaccompanied format. "Parisian Thoroughfare" is one of his gentlest compositions – "a Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch,'' in the words of a famous Ellington lyric – and his playing takes on an impressionist shimmer, before settling into unadulterated bop for the solo. Later in 1951, Powell would be back in a mental institution, and after his release in 1953 the pianist would only rarely match the sweep and majesty of earlier work. In 1959, Powell would settle in Paris, but ironically none of his work in the City of Lights would capture the Parisian spirit quite as adeptly as this gem he recorded at age 26.

Great news for fans that was lucky enough to be at Disney World in Orlando over the weekend and perhaps saw a glimpse of the famous family strolling through the theme park. Dr. Jen Arnold posted an adorable photo of her son Will meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time on Sunday. The meeting of the famous cartoon character was enough to make mamma Arnold moved to tears. It seems America's favorite "Little Couple" took the youngsters to Disney World to have a well-deserved family entertainment weekend. Dr. Jennifer Arnold also posted the sentiments to her official Facebook page on Sunday.
"The Little Couple" family has become America's favorite family after Will and Zoey were adopted and every week viewers tune into to watch the interactions of this family. This week however, fans had a real treat to see the photos of Will meeting Mickey Mouse. Jennifer Arnold did not announce the trip, but for Arnold's avid Twitter following there were hints of the special weekend activities with her posting just one day earlier. If the reality star made people wonder if the family was in Orlando, the picture of Will and Mickey Mouse meeting gave all the reassurances that this family was on a fun Memorial weekend holiday . Over 1500 fans hit the favorite button on the photo and the comment response was positive for the shared family moment.
"Will met his favorite mouse! #MoMouse @WaltDisneyWorld Made me cry! #littlecouple," tweeted Jennifer Arnold from her official Twitter account on Sunday.
In the photo, Mickey Mouse appears to be enjoying the visit as much as Will's parents. Holding the youngster and making a special moment for the family to remember forever, it seems this moment will be a hard one to top. When Jen Arnold posted that it made her cry; moms all over the world could empathize with the emotions tugging at her heartstrings. Hopefully, we will be able to see a segment soon of the trip to Orlando, but there are no social media announcements regarding a family holiday show.
Even though "The Little Couple" is currently not filming, the fans are going to get a special episode of the family on TLC. According to their official Facebook post on Tuesday, tonight's episode "All You Wanted to Know" will have viewer questions answered by Jen and Bill, who discuss every aspect of their lives with their fans.
"The Little Couple" airs Tuesday on TLC at 10 p.m. ET.

Flute World

Coppelia-Prelude et MazurkaBy Leo DelibesArranged by Shaul Ben-Meir
Coppelia is amog the first comedic ballets from the ormantic period, first performed over 100 years ago in Paris. Based upon two stories by E.T.A. Hoffman, "The Sandman" and "The Doll", Coppelia's premiere in 1870 was an immediate success as it was a great relief from the heavy and sad ballets of that time. Although Coppelia was triumphant as its premiere, there were initially only 18 performances as the invasion of France by the Prussian army prevented further performances. Eventually it would be presented over 500 times, and become the most performed ballet at the Paris Opera.

|Idaho Looks to Clinch WAC
MOSCOW, Idaho—The University of Idaho women's basketball team can clinch its first regular season conference championship in nearly 20 years on Saturday when they take on Seattle U at Memorial Gym.
Idaho (19-8, 12-1 WAC), with a win on Saturday, will have a three-game lead in the Western Athletic Conference standings with two games to play. The Vandals took the old Mountain West Conference (now Big Sky) title back in the 1984-85 season. Pat Dobratz's Idaho team finished 28-2 on the season and 13-1 in conference play on its way to the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance.
"It is going to be a very physical game," head coach Jon Newlee predicted. "It always is with Seattle. The rivalry is there and I think both teams obviously want to win and are going to bring it on Saturday. It should be a great game."
Seattle U (13-13, 8-5 WAC) built a significant lead at half against Grand Canyon, but could not contain the 'Lopes as they fell, 72-66, in Phoenix. The Redhawks were led by Wilma Afunugo with a career high 18 points, followed by Ashley Ward with a season high 17. Kacie Sowell also added double scoring figures and her 10th double-double of the season (13 pts, 10 reb).
Game time is set for 2 p.m. PT. The first 500 fans into Memorial Gym will recieve a free white t-shirt.
