The Hindustan Times reported an unusually gruesome murder in west Delhi involving an Indian woman and her two friends. Kulvinder Kaur, 23, is accused of having her father killed in retaliation for him allegedly raping her. Not only did her two accomplices beat him to death, Kaur used a piece of broken glass to pull out her father's pacemaker to ensure he was dead. The pacemaker was attached to the victim's heart.
Kauer admitted to arranging the plot to murder her father, Daljeet Singh, while he slept. She said that her father began sexually abusing her after her mother had died three years ago. She enlisted the help of two male friends. On April 30, Kauer left her door unlocked so the two friends could sneak into her father's house.
Once inside, the two friends brutally assaulted and beat Singh to death with a cricket stump. After killing Sing, the trio removed the victim's pacemaker and wrapped the body inside a sheet. They dumped the body in a wooded area.
However, authorities found the badly beaten body and eventually identified Singh through photographs. When police confronted Kauer about the crime, she confessed. Read more about this grisly story in the Hindustan Times.

AUSTIN - A conservative University of Texas at Austin Law School journal is honoring Kenneth Starr as jurist of the year, a move organizers say has nothing to do with presidential politics.
Starr, the former independent counsel who led the investigation into President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky, has no ulterior motive for visiting the home state of Republican presidential hopeful Gov. George W. Bush, said Adam Ross, chairman of the Texas Review of Law & Politics.
"That's absolutely not true. Judge Starr is coming in town to be honored by an academic law journal," Ross said. "This has nothing to do with politics."
Starr, born in 1946 in Vernon, is being honored for his long and prestigious legal career, Ross said.
"In particular, for his courageous commitment to upholding the rule of the law in 1999. In the face of vicious and unfair politically motivated attacks, Judge Starr stood firm for the bedrock principles that undergird the American system of justice," Ross said.
"We are pleased to recognize him for this," he said.

Developers love to add little cookies into trailers and teasers, so we assumed that would be the case with Ubisoft's latest trailer for Watch Dogs.
Ubisoft didn't let us down on this one.
In order to help you all out with finding out what is what, we have an amazing list of 10 things you didn't catch when this bad boy went live.
Watch Dogs has some things in here that indicate we could be seeing a fair amount of satire from the game, or at least a fair amount of weird, random stuff.
Ubisoft is going to release Watch Dogs on May 27th, but you can slake your desire to have it with this for now. Make sure you stick with Examiner.com and Game On for all your news on Watch Dogs.
How do you spell...?
If you can see what we see, then you'll notice that the word "weekend" in the sign above those guys has a space in between "week" and "end."
Last time we checked, weekend is suppose to be spelling as one word, but Watch Dogs is set in a futuristic setting, so you never know.
The sign says it and they still did it
Looks like those signs really scared the crap out of those guys.
Yeah so apparently those police barriers that are up and say, "Police Line Do Not Cross," didn't do the job. We assume that's how ineffective the cops will actually be in Watch Dogs.
Then again, we could be wrong.
Who wouldn't have guessed it was that guy?
Ah yes and of course there's that cosplay enthusiast, but who would've thought he'd be the gardener watering the plants?
Honestly, who would've thought that? Honestly.
This is gonna hurt
Firetruck vs. taxi, who is going to win?
Especially given the fact that the firetruck is coming down on a slant. Ouch.
Firetruck wins that battle, firetruck wins that battle nine times out of ten.
Real cute Ubisoft
By now you've noticed this yourself or by someone else pointing it out, but look at you Ubisoft. Nice little cookie there for fans of the highly popular Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
Wonderful what other games that arcade has inside of it. Guess we'll have to wait until Watch Dogs launches on May 27th.
A familiar Loop
So turns out Watch Dogs is be set during the year 2055.
How do we know, well The Loop in the photo here is alluding to the Chicago Loop.
It wasn't until 1930 that the Chicago Loop was actually built. So in the game, it's experiencing its 125th Anniversary, ergo the year Watch Dogs takes place is 2055.
You're welcome.
We don't need no stinkin' dragons
What is this? Dragon Age?
You couldn't have missed this from the Chicago Watch Dogs trailer, right?
It's a freakin' mech dragon. Real interesting here, but we wonder if we can hack it and spew fire at our enemies with it.
Huh, wishful thinking.
Civil War reenactment? Sign us up
Who doesn't love a good Civil War reenactment?
Well if you're interested in attending, they take place every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday from 6pm-8pm.
Everyone is welcome? Well now that's not very realistic.
Everyone was not welcome in the actual Civil War, little Tommy couldn't pickup a bayonet and start charging, could he?
Come on Ubi, you're better than that. Get your head right.
Dam that's cool
We had to, if we didn't, it would've been a crime, really.
It looks like we'll be able to take a trip over to the dam nearby Chicago. Now that would be fun to hack and see what would happen. It would do just swimmingly if so.
What is this 'Transformers'?
Okay, so, what the h*ll is that? Did Michael Bay get a hold of this trailer?
Sneaky, sneaky, talk about something that would be fun to hack.
Watch Dogs is shaping up nicely and we'll all be able to experience it when it launches on May 27th.
For all of our latest exclusives, previews, reviews and features, follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. Game On.

Future Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey failed to make the New Orleans Saints 53-man roster after the team released him Saturday. The veteran dealt with injuries throughout training camp. But appeared to play well in the Saints' final preseason game.
The team instead kept cornerback Brian Dixon and safety Marcus Ball. Ball dealt with injuries late in training camp as well but impressed coaches and observers when healthy.
Do you think the Saints should have cut Bailey? Tell us what you think.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
Sweet Corn Essentials
by National Gardening Association Editors
- Plant corn directly outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature is about 60° F.
- Seeds can be started indoors, two seeds per peat pot, 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost date.
- Plan the garden to prevent cross-pollination between incompatible types of corn and to prevent tall varieties from shading nearby crops.
- Work plenty of manure into the soil the previous fall.
- Just before planting, sprinkle 3 to 4 pounds of 5-10-10 or equivalent fertilizer per 100 feet of row along the side of each row and work it into the soil.
- Plant corn seeds in blocks of at least four rows with 2 to 4 feet between rows (the closer spacing is for short varieties). Sow the seeds 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep, 6 to 8 inches apart.
- Thin the corn to stand 12 to 16 inches apart when the plants are 4 to 5 inches tall.
- Provide at least 1 inch of water a week.
- Control weeds with frequent shallow cultivation until the plants are knee high. Then apply a 3- to 5-inch layer of mulch.
- Side-dress with a high-nitrogen fertilizer, such as 2 pounds of ammonium nitrate per 100 feet of row, when the plants are 8 to 10 inches tail and again when the silks appear.
- Watch for signs of nitrogen deficiency (yellowing leaves) and respond with quick side-dressings of fish emulsion, manure, commercial fertilizer, or a combination of the three.
- See our article Summer's Bad Guys by Charlie Nardozzi for controls of common corn pests such as corn earworms and European corn borers.
- Sweet corn should be harvested when its ears are completely filled out and a pierced kernel shows a milky white liquid.
- Sweet corn varieties (except for supersweet varieties) lose their sweetness soon after harvest. Immediately after picking prepare the ears for eating or preserving.
- Harvest corn for meal or popping as late as possible and dry on the cob, then store.

Technically speaking, Dohn Joe's polarising "ought" to be the right word here - and you might just get away with it in OP's first example, but it seems a somewhat quirky usage to me.
But in practice people would probably use divisive in the first case, and some more roundabout expression for the second. If it weren't for the preceding sentence, I personally would go for...
Marmitey. As referring to marmite of which has the slogan "you either love it or hate it. Its a colloquialism but it fits well.

UCLA 80, Utah 66
February 15, 2014
UCLA head coach Steve Alford
"I'm extremely pleased with our guys. We took it to another level today. I really liked our intensity for about 32 minutes, defensively. We showed enormous progress there. We made it really difficult for Utah. We came out strong at halftime again. We are really starting to develop something there. Neither team came out strong out of the gates to start the game, but we did a good job defensively to start the second half and went on a 10-0 scoring run. That is what really gave us the separation."
on guard Jordan Adams
"Jordan Adams was terrific. He really moved well. He did a good job moving without the basketball. Sometimes he gets in a hurry, but he got in good rhythm tonight. He took really good shots, and he was strong defensively for us."
on UCLA's multi-faceted scoring attack
"Kyle Anderson was great with another double-double. Dave and Travis Wear have really been doing what they need to do. The bench was great, and Tony Parker gave us good minutes in the second half. This team loves it, they compete and they want to win. We have really good trust. They trust each other. We haven't been hurried and haven't rushed into bad shots and bad passes. Utah is a really great shooting team, and we held them to around 40 percent shooting."
on improving in the coming weeks
"If we can continue to improve defensively as the season goes on, we have a legitimate shot at winning some big ball games. We have a very difficult road trip, and we have a lot of work ahead of us. As we draw closer and closer to March, we're just trying to become a better basketball team."
UCLA guard Jordan Adams
"Coach told me to stay aggressive. They had a match-up zone, so I knew where to get my spots. If I have a bad shooting night, I put it behind me. I was focused for this game because we have played them before and they beat us. I knew what I needed to do."
on his mindset heading into today's game
"You really have to be focused. Every team in the Pac-12 can beat each other. Today was about me figuring out what to do – I just wanted to cut to open areas on the court."
UCLA guard Kyle Anderson
"Coach told us that the famous teams of the Lakers and the Bulls always made a statement in the third quarter. We came out in the second half and the first four minutes we made some stops and made some plays."
on UCLA's offense when Jordan Adams scores
"When Jordan is making shots, it's so easy because he cuts so well. It makes it easier for other guys to get open looks since the defense is focusing on him."
UCLA guard Norman Powell
"Our defense is about effort. We always want to be in help defense mode. This is what we've picked up over the last several games. guys have bought into it. This is what Coach Alford preaches to us."
Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak
"They [UCLA] put some heat on us in the second half, and it kind of demoralized us. It was one of those kind of spurts where they were playing hard, and they brought some of the offensive energy down to the defensive side as well. They had a burst and we didn't. We were playing from behind, and I am proud of our guys for not giving up.
"Our first half was actually pretty good. We gave up nine points off turnovers early and played them tough for the rest of the first half. When you are playing a team like UCLA, the margin of error is pretty slim. Their number five guys can come out and hit the three, and that is very difficult to defend."
Utah guard Delon Wright
"We didn't come out and play as aggressively as we needed to play. I kind of let the game come to me, and that's a bad thing. We were only down by two but at the beginning of the second half, we couldn't get a stop and we couldn't score. When both of those things happen at the same time, that's bad for us. We just had a bad game and now we have to bounce back. We would like to get two home wins against Arizona and Arizona State."
Utah forward Jordan Loveridge
"In the second half, their players just scored and made plays. When you have guys like Adams and Anderson getting hot, it's tough to beat that team. We're not satisfied going one and one on this road trip. We thought we could beat this team. It sucks leaving like this."

Local Foods Initiative
As part of its mission of promoting economic development in rural, tobacco dependent, and economically distressed areas of North Carolina, the Golden LEAF Foundation has funded projects designed to help farmers access new and expanding markets, including the market for local foods.
Recently, public interest in local foods has grown, creating new economic opportunities for North Carolina farmers and businesses. In response, the Golden LEAF Foundation Board of Directors has developed a strategic initiative to expand local food opportunities for North Carolina farmers and businesses.
Primary Goal of Initiative
The initiative's primary goal is to improve and expand farmers' access to commercial, institutional, and retail markets that are increasing their use of local foods, especially those markets willing to pay a premium for local products.
Issues/ Priorities
The Foundation hopes to accomplish this goal by identifying projects that address some or all of the following issues: 1) the need for farmers to meet the food safety and certification standards and related expectations of the marketplace; 2) the coordination of production and distribution necessary to satisfy business and consumer demand; 3) the availability of infrastructure for aggregation, rough preparation, and intermediate processing; and 4) the marketing required to create and sustain demand for local foods.
Characteristics of Competitive Proposals
The most competitive applications will demonstrate a likelihood of providing a significant economic benefit to North Carolina farmers and businesses engaged in local foods efforts. Competitive proposals are also expected to have some or all of the following characteristics:
Projects may request support for feasibility analysis or business planning necessary to refine project strategies. Projects should be sufficiently developed at the time of application that significant information about the opportunity being pursued is known, with planning funds used to define the project approach more precisely. Applications should include a request for all funds necessary for the project, including planning and implementation.
It is expected that the Foundation will award a total of approximately $2.5 million for this initiative to several projects.
Low Priority Proposals
Golden LEAF does not expect to fund the following types of projects in this initiative:
Eligible Entities & Application Deadlines
Only 501(c)(3) nonprofits and governmental entities are eligible to apply. The deadline for applications for the local foods initiative was November 2, 2009.

DRI Leaders Join Governor Sandoval for First of Its kind Trade Mission to China, South Korea
Seek further collaboration and investment from Asia's leading scientists and research institutions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 17, 2012
(RENO) - The Desert Research Institute signed an innovative Memorandum of Understanding with China's Institute of Earth Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2002.
That initial collaboration has since led to more than 10 years of successful scientific endeavors between Nevada's top scientists and China's leading academic institutions, including the preservation of one of China's national treasures - the Terra-Cotta Warriors.
This week Dr. Stephen Wells, DRI President, and Dr. Judith Chow, an internationally renowned air quality expert in DRI's Division of Atmospheric Sciences, will return to Asia to build on that collaboration with prestigious Chinese representatives such as Dr. Junji Cao, current President of the Institute of Earth Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Wells and Chow will be traveling as part of a delegation led by Governor Brian Sandoval on a trade mission to identify business opportunities for Nevada companies and to encourage Chinese and South Korean investment in Nevada.
"I'm very excited to be a part of Governor Sandoval's trade mission," Dr. Wells said, noting the great potential such an undertaking has for both the state of Nevada and the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea. "Beyond the relationships DRI has fostered with Chinese scientists and research institutions, this trip encourages new opportunities for the Nevada System of Higher Education that will have a lasting impact on every aspect of our state's economy."
Dr. Chow, who has been instrumental in leading DRI's ground-breaking collaborative work with Chinese scientists, most recently focusing on preservation techniques used to maintain remnants of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's Terra-Cotta Army, notes the Governor's trade mission has the ability to tout more than business for Nevada.
A critical component to the success of such scientific undertakings as the Terra-Cotta preservation, said Dr. Chow, is the international exchange of researchers and ideas. When students and scientists travel abroad, she explains, their presence can have both positive cultural and economic impacts in the communities they call home while learning and training with their international counterparts.

Okay, so maybe Fox News didn't completely steal the BioShock Infinite logo, but it's safe to say they borrowed heavily from the original design. Earlier this week Fox News aired a piece called "Defending the Homeland". That itself isn't newsworthy, but if you look at the design of their logo, you can see how closely it resembles the BioShock Infinite one. It's close enough that on Tuesday BioShock creator Ken Levine took to Twitter to mock the use of Fox New's "new design".
As for why this is so funny? It has everything to do with the game itself. In BioShock Infinite, the flag is used by the city of Columbia. It's home to the main villain the self-appointed "Prophet of Columbia" Zachary Hale Comstock, a man who takes right-wing based religious zealotry to ridiculous levels. Because you are trying to rescue his daughter, (he's tortured her and kept her locked up for years) his devoted, (and quite honestly simple-minded and really racist) followers will do everything they can to stop you.
I want you to think about that for a second: an organization that has a reputation as right-wing, somewhat xenophobic and possibly even racist decides to have a logo that is being used by a group that is blatantly right-wing, definitely xenophobic and really open about their racism. This is so perfect I think this was slipped in by an intern as he finished his final shift before going back to college (to play more BioShock Infinite, probably.)
Do you remember a few years ago when the Daily Show did their Team Stupid vs. Team Evil bit relating to the choice of Fox News regarding their bashing of Al-Waleed bin Talal? This is because bin Talal actually owns a large portion of Fox News which means that Fox News was basically calling one of their principal owners a terrorist (or something similar). I'm not saying that one of these instances is more hilarious than the other, but for a company that promises "Fair & Balanced" media covering, it's funny either way.
So what do you think? Was this the worst possible coincidence because someone working for Fox News thought it was patriotic looking? I've previously reviewed the game itself, and loved it. But I really liked was that Levine had no problem saying the material, while controversial in some sections, is part of America's history and while we may want to erase it from our collective memories, it did happen. So the next time Fox News wants to get even more "Ra Ra 'Merica!" they may want to double-check their work. Just a thought.

You could see it coming a mile off, South's thinking it would be a "Cake walk" and the Cowboys having other ideas. It's an 80 min game Guys ! Where was that attacking defence in the first half when the Cowboys had all the ball.?
Couldn't happen to a nicer team--------Souths I mean
A game where the ref's didn't play to much of a part in who won or lost what gone wrong
I can't believe how overrated and selfish Dylan walker is as a player. Wouldn't make the 20's for most teams. When Softs aren't allowed to wrestle as much as usual they look like a very ordinary team.
Too much mind off the job shenanigans before the game. The Bunnies got distracted. Football is football not family picnic night.
well RTP that is the problem you see - It should be a family picnic night/day
sadly lost to history now I guess
Inglis out of his depth as Captain. Reynolds hamstring. Pommie inflicted coach and forward pack. Not even the refs can help them enough. Souffs are no hope. Roosters back to back with the smallest number of junior league players in the NRL.

1. Holistic-minded Dr. Andrew Weil has a simple Thanksgiving recipe that makes healthy use of root vegetables. It includes garlic, olive oil, and yes, a variety of root vegetables including "potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabagas, beets, sweet potatoes."
2. Delish, a great recipe website, has a low-fat and easy dish based on a combination of green beans, yellow wax beans, and wild mushrooms.
3. Don't forget about Reader's Digest! Here's a great recipe for a salad and salad dressing that balances blue cheese with pear, and a zesty vinaigrette with lemon juice and brown sugar.
4. Vegan's know about vegetables! Try Chloe Coscarelli's fabulous sounding recipe for maple roasted brussel sprouts with toasted hazelnuts.
5. Martha Stewart continues to provide great recipes like this one with roasted carrots, parsnips and shallots. Parsnips? They're not that common anymore, but when cooked right, they're a tasty and interesting addition.

We'd bet more than a nickel that this Ivory Beaded Mini Skirt ($44) comes with a long list of rules and warnings for when it comes to getting the darned thing clean. But some garments are worth a little hassle, and we figure this shimmering mini merits the work, even if the dry-cleaning bill ends up costing us more than the skirt did.

Origin of Species A Variorum TextAuthor:
Darwin, Charles, Peckham, Morse
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
Summary: The phenomenal importance of his brilliant studies is universally recognized, but for the first time in this volume has a scholar attempted the gargantuan task of compiling a complete variorum edition covering all of the extensive variants in the six texts published between 1859 and 1872, the collation of which has made possible an accurate application and discussion of The Origin of Species. Darwin's changes were ex...tensive. His book grew by a third as he rewrote many passages four or five times, and in this edition Morse Peckham has recorded every one of those changes. [read more]

Imagine hundreds of kids singing and dancing to their favorite pop music all in one place while holding signs for their favorite KidzBop performers. As the popular children's music group KidzBop takes to a tour schedule you will experience all that and more!
Kidz Bop is considered by some to be the #1 music brand for kids as popular dance and music is featured and "sung by kids for kids." Since its launch in 2001 it has sold over 14 million albums and connects kids and families through music. KidzBop Radio can be found on SiriusXM.
The KidzBop Tour is taking this popular music out on the road and can be found in these 25 cities. Be sure to check back frequently as venues are added.
Among the many songs preformed at the Houston House of Blues event were:
- What Does the Fox Say?
- Gangnam Style
- The Hampster Dance
- Cha Cha Slide
- Who Let the Dogs Out
- KidzBop Shuffle and more!
This National Teen Celebrity Examiner recently had the opportunity to see KidzBop live when they were at the Houston House of Blues. There will be plenty of singing and dancing and not just among the tween and teen sets either. KidzBop doesn't let parents hide their light, but at one point in the concert let some parents join in the fun up on stage. But the highlight of the evening may have been when five lucky audience members were able to take to the stage to live out their big dream and sing loud right alongside their favorite performers. Plan on picking up Kidz Bop 25 while you are at the concert, because it's so popular it debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart.
Get your tickets to their next concert online at Ticketmaster and find out what other fan favorites will be played.

May 16, 2000
LOS ANGELES - The No. 2 ranked and second-seeded UCLA men's tennis team (23-3 overall) travels to Athens, Georgia this week to compete in the NCAA Championships hosted by the University of Georgia. The team portion of the competition takes place Saturday, May 20- Tuesday, May 23. Individual singles and doubles championships will run Wednesday, May 24- Sunday, May 28.
The UCLA Bruins face No. 15 seed Texas (20-6) at 11 am in the round of 16 with the winner of that match scheduled to meet the winner of the Texas A&M/Tennessee match at 11 am Sunday. If they continue to advance, the Bruins will play in the first semifinal match of the day on Monday at 12 pm. The Championship Final will be held on Tuesday at 4 pm. All of the UCLA matches will be held on UGA's Henry Feild courts.
Following team play, Bruins Jong-Min Lee and Jean-Noel Grinda will be competing in the individual singles portion of the NCAA Championships, held May 24-28. UCLA had three at-large selections in singles as Grinda, Lee and Brandon Kramer all received bids. In doubles, Kramer and Lee received an automatic doubles bid. However, Kramer was forced to withdraw from competition due to injury, making Lee and Grinda the only Bruins to compete in the Individual Championships.
Kramer to Miss NCAA Tournament
Bruin senior Brandon Kramer fractured his right wrist during practice last Wednesday and as a result will not participate in the NCAA Tournament. The injury came just three days before UCLA was scheduled to host the NCAA Regionals at the Los Angeles Tennis Center on May 13 and 14. Kramer, a right-handed senior from Reno, Nev., closes out his career at UCLA with an 88-43 overall singles record and an 84-42 overall doubles mark. This season, the 6-0 co-captain earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors and was named to the Pac-10 Doubles Team of the Year with his partner, Jong-Min Lee. UCLA's No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles player, Kramer was selected to participate in both singles and doubles at the NCAA Individual Championships in Georgia, May 24-28, but will have to forgo the tournament due to his injury. He is currently ranked No. 38 in singles and No. 2 in doubles with Lee in the latest ITA Rankings. He ends the 1999-2000 season with a 23-10 overall singles record and an 18-6 mark in dual match action. In doubles, he and partner Lee won the Pac-10 Doubles Championships on Apr. 30 and went 19-6 overall and 15-6 in duals.
NCAA Championship Structure
The NCAA Division I men's tennis championships consist of single-elimination team and individual championships. In NCAA men's tennis dual matches, the three doubles matches count for one point total and are played first followed by the six singles matches. Each singles match counts for one point, with the best of three sets winning the match and a 12-point tie breaker at six games all. The team winner is determined by the first team to reach four points.
This year marks the second straight year that the NCAA Tennis Championships bracket consists of 64 teams, meaning that all participants competed in the first round. Regionals consist of four teams each at 16 sites throughout the country. The winners of those 16 Regionals advance to the NCAA Team Championships at the University of Georgia in Athens, May 20-28.
The individual championship tournament is comprised of 64-singles and 32-doubles teams which begin play directly following the conclusion of the team championship. The first round of singles and a round of doubles will be played on Wednesday, May 24. Two more rounds of singles and a round of doubles will be played on Thursday, May 25. Quarterfinal action is slated for Friday, May 26, semifinals for the 27th and the individual singles and doubles finals will be on Sunday, May 28.
UCLA's NCAA Tournament History
UCLA is the only team to compete in every NCAA Championship since 1977 when the team dual-match format began. Since then, the Bruins have reached the championship final nine times, winning three titles and finishing as runner-up five times. Altogether, the Bruins own 15 NCAA men's tennis titles dating back to 1950 and most recently in 1984 and have also finished as runner-up 12 times. In addition, UCLA players have won nine singles and 11 doubles championships. Head coach Billy Martin was the last UCLA player to claim a singles title when he won it in 1975. The team of Justin Gimelstob and Srdjan Muskatirovic claimed the Bruins' most recent title by winning the doubles championship in 1996.
Latest Rankings
Bruins Retain No. 2 Ranking
UCLA continues to hold the No. 2 slot in the latest edition of the ITA national team rankings released on May 10. In the individual rankings released on May 3, the Bruins have four singles players and two doubles teams listed. Leading the way with a No. 27 singles ranking is senior Jong-Min Lee. Senior Brandon Kramer and junior All-American Jean-Noel Grinda are listed in the Top 50 at No. 38 and No. 47, respectively. Rounding out the list of nationally ranked Bruins is freshman Jean-Julien Rojer, who comes in at No. 64. In doubles, the team of Kramer and Lee vaulted to No. 2 in the latest poll after winning the doubles final at the Pac-10 Championships in Ojai on April 30. Also ranked among the nation's top in doubles is the tandem of Grinda and Rojer, which is listed at No. 41.
Last Year
Bruins are NCAA Team Runner-Ups
Armed with a No. 1 final regular-season national ranking and a top-seed entering the 1999 NCAA Team Championships, the UCLA men's tennis team was a heavy favorite to capture the program's 16th NCAA Title. At the NCAA Regionals, the host Bruins opened with a 4-0 win over Western Michigan and then went on to defeat San Diego State 4-1.
After advancing to the NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga., UCLA had no trouble making it to the finals, posting convincing wins over Virginia Tech (4-1), Florida (4-1) and LSU (4-1). But in the championship game, the underdog Georgia, inspired by a home crowd of over 5, 000, shocked the top-ranked Bruins 4-3 in one of the closest and most entertaining NCAA finals ever played.
Bruins' Individual Results
Four Bruins qualified to compete in the individual portion of the championships in 1999. Jean-Noel Grinda competed in both the singles and doubles draws along with his partner, Jong-Min Lee. Also competing in the doubles draw was Jason Cook and Brandon Kramer.
In singles, Grinda fell 7-6(4), 1-6, 4-6 in the first round to Florida's Nathan Overholser. In doubles, Grinda and Lee opened with a 6-3, 6-3 win over UNLV's Skorin and Zivcovic before being eliminated by eventual champions Hippensteel and Wolters. Cook and Kramer ousted Virginia's team of Montgomery and Vahaly 6-4, 6-4 before losing to USC's Gottesleben and Kukal 7-6(6), 6-3 in the second round.

UCLA's Home Court Advantage
UCLA finished the home portion of the 1999-2000 season with only one loss to powerhouse Pepperdine. The loss snapped the LATC's 22-match home win streak. Last year, the Bruins went undefeated at home. Prior to its loss to Pepperdine, UCLA's last loss at home came on April 18, 1998 to then-No. 1 ranked Stanford (1-6) and was its only home setback of the 1998 season.
NCAA Regionals
Bruins Win Two at Home
Playing host to the NCAA Regionals on their home courts at the Los Angeles Tennis Center proved to be just what the Bruins needed as they notched victories over UMKC (4-0) and No. 32 Notre Dame (4-2). Despite playing without their No. 1 doubles and No. 2 singles player, Brandon Kramer, the Bruins emerged victorious. In both matches, UCLA claimed the doubles point with wins on courts Nos. 1 and 3. All-American Jean-Noel Grinda was the only UCLA player to win both of his singles matches, playing both at the No. 2 position. Jean-Julien Rojer split his two matches in the No. 3 position, winning his match against UMKC, but losing to Notre Dame's Casey Smith 6-4, 6-4. On Saturday against UMKC, Erfan Djahangiri clinched the match for UCLA with a 6-0, 6-2 win over Yasuhito Minoda. The following day against Notre Dame, UCLA dropped singles points in the No. 3 and 6 positions. However, UCLA's Lassi Ketola beat Javier Taborga 6-1, 7-6(2), while Jong-Min Lee clinched the win for the Bruins with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory over No. 9 Ryan Sachire in the top position. As in all NCAA Tournament tennis events, the remainder of the matches were suspended once the team victor was determined.
Bruins are Pac-10 Runner-Ups
Last year's Pac-10 co-Champions, UCLA closed out conference play with a 6-1 record to fall just one game shy of the title. Stanford finished Pac-10 play with a perfect 7-0 mark to capture the title for the third straight year, while USC came in at third with a 5-2 record.
Showing Their Depth
Bruins Shine In Ojai
UCLA claimed three titles in Ojai at the Pac-10 Individual Championships as the No. 2 ranked team in the nation demonstrated its depth. For the second straight year, the Bruins claimed both doubles titles and the Invitational division singles crown. The Pac-10 Championships provided a good preview of the upcoming NCAA Championships, as the two top teams in the nation, No. 1 Stanford and No. 2 UCLA dominated the tournament and continually went head-to-head. When it was all said and done, UCLA and Stanford earned a share of the Thatcher Cup after both teams recorded 12 match wins each in Ojai.
The lower half of the UCLA lineup dominated the field of the Pac-10 Invitational tournament as all four Bruin players battled in the quarterfinals. Although three Stanford players defeated three UCLA players to reach the semifinals, Bruin freshman Erfan Djahangiri came out the winner, defeating Stanford's David Martin 7-5, 7-6(5) in the semis and Stanford's Ali Ansari 6-1, 6-2 in the finals. UCLA continued to dominate the Cardinal as the freshmen duo of Lassi Ketola and Travis Rettenmaier claimed the Invitational doubles title, posting a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Stanford's Ali Ansari and Scotty Scott in the finals.
In the Pac-10 Championship portion, the Bruins showed their strength in doubles as the team of Brandon Kramer and Jong-Min Lee claimed a 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory over Oregon's Carter and Eisinga in the title match. The win marked Lee's second consecutive Pac-10 doubles title. Last year, he and Jean-Noel Grinda earned the title after defeating UCLA's Jason Cook and Kramer in the finals. In singles play, freshman Jean-Julien Rojer reached the semifinals before dropping a 6-4, 6-1 match to Stanford's Alex Kim.
Four Bruins Receive Pac-10 Conference Honors
In a vote by the Conference coaches, Brandon Kramer and Jong Min Lee were named Pac-10 Men's Doubles Team of the Year, the Pac-10 announced Tues., May 9. In addition, Jean-Julien Rojer was named Men's Freshman of the Year. The senior tandem of Kramer and Lee won the Pac-10 men's doubles championship at Ojai, and are the No. 2-ranked doubles team in the nation. Rojer, from Curacao, The Netherlands, is the No. 64-ranked singles player in the nation, helping the Bruin men rise to No. 2 in the national team rankings. He reached the semifinals of the Pac-10 men's singles championship and currently owns a 26-3 overall record. In addition to their Doubles Team of the Year honors, Kramer and Lee, along with junior All-American Jean-Noel Grinda, were named to the Pac-10 first team. Rojer picked up second-team honors.

U.S. Supreme Court
LOMENZO v. WMCA, INC., 384 U.S. 887 (1966)384 U.S. 887
LOMENZO, SECRETARY OF STATE OF NEW YORK, ET AL. v. WMCA, INC., ET AL.
NEW YORK. No. 81.
Decided June 20, 1966.
238 F. Supp. 916, vacated as moot.
Louis J. Lefkowitz, Attorney General of New York, Thomas E. Dewey, Leonard Joseph and Malcolm H. Bell for appellants.
Leo A. Larkin, Jack B. Weinstein, Leonard B. Sand and Max Gross for appellees.
In WMCA, Inc. v. Lomenzo, 382 U.S. 4, we affirmed a judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York insofar as there appealed by WMCA, Inc., et al., the appellees in the present case. Appellants in this case, Lomenzo et al., challenge other aspects of the same judgment, and all parties now agree that, as to those aspects, the judgment of the District Court has been rendered moot by the actions of the Court of Appeals of New York in In the Matter of Orans, 17 N. Y. 2d 107, 216 N. E. 2d 311 (1966), and In the Matter of Orans, 15 N. Y. 2d 339, 206 N. E. 2d 854, appeal dismissed 382 U.S. 10 (1965). Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court is vacated as moot insofar as it concerns the issues here appealed, namely, whether N. Y. Laws 1964, cc. 977-978, 979, 981, are violative of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and whether the District Court was entitled to rely on provisions of the New York Constitution possibly affected by the action of this Court in WMCA, Inc. v. Lomenzo, 377 U.S. 633.

Aluminum-Can CarsThe world drops out from below and my head lifts into the cloudsTo float like it has for all my life,Only this time it is for real.The window opens to views of below, and tiny aluminum-can carsWith ant-people drivers and potato-bug pets.Patchwork-quilt fields with streams of roads running past them,Then fluffs of vanilla cotton candy drop in,Slowly meandering by and saying a soft and sweet, "Hello."As the soaring bird gets higher the view pulls back, like my camera lens doesWhen I get too close to my best friend's face and the flash won't go.The ant-people and potato-bug pets disappear, and all that remainsAre the glints of sunlight off aluminum-can cars.

He smelled of tobacco and dirt and wood and the outdoors, like all good fathers should. She wrapped her gangly arms around his neck and hugged him tight, as if she were to float away if she didn't. "Look, look up there." The girl looked, but not at where her father pointed. Instead, she turned her face up towards the wrinkled moon that was her father's face. She could see the lights from above reflected in his warm eyes, bright with love and delight. He was old, but he never ceased to act like a boy when the universe showed him something new, as it was doing tonight. His being was alive and enthralled at what lay just outside the open window, waiting to be discovered. Now the girl followed the worn and thick finger upwards until her gaze was met by a winking of starligh

- Category: gTLDs
- Topic: Proposed sTLD Agreement for .TRAVEL
- Board meeting date: 8 April 2005
- Resolution number: 05.23, 05.24
- URL for Board minutes/resolution: http://www.icann.org/en/minutes/minutes-08apr05.htm
- Status: Completed
Board approves .TRAVEL sTLD, subject to amendment of Appendix 6 of proposed sponsored TLD registry agreement, and authorizes President to implement the agreement.
Njeri Rionge introduced a resolution:
Whereas, on 18 October 2004, the board authorized the President and General Counsel to enter into negotiations relating to proposed commercial and technical terms for the .TRAVEL sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) with the applicant, Tralliance Corporation.
Whereas, on 24 March 2004, ICANN announced that negotiations with the applicant for the .TRAVEL sponsored top-level domain had been successfully completed, and posted the proposed .TRAVEL sponsored TLD registry agreement on the ICANN website.
Whereas, the Board has determined that approval of the agreement, and delegation of a .TRAVEL sponsored top-level domain to Tralliance would be beneficial for ICANN and the Internet community.
Whereas, ICANN's Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) has concluded that "the issue of geographical and geopolitical names is very complex, and the subject of ongoing international discussion," and the Board has determined that it is appropriate to take temporary steps to prevent the registration of such names in new TLDs in order to allow it and the community the time to consider carefully this issue and determine what if any policy should be adopted with respect to it.
Resolved (05.23), the President and the General Counsel are directed to take appropriate steps to preserve the Board's ability to take action with respect to the registration in this generic top-level domain of names of countries and distinct economies.
Resolved (05.24), and that subject to the amendment of Appendix 6 of the proposed sponsored TLD registry agreement to include the names of countries and distinct economies, the proposed agreement with Tralliance concerning the .TRAVEL sTLD is approved, and the President is authorized to take such actions as appropriate to implement the agreement.
The resolution was moved by Njeri Rionge, seconded by Hagen Hultzsch, and approved (as amended above) unanimously by the Board, 14-0.

A few steps away from the white sandy beach and the magical turquoise colored waters of the Mexican Caribbean.
If you prefer to stay in and relax, Magia Playa features two swimming pools, a fully equipped fitness center overlooking the lounge areas and underground parking. The construction grows from a height superior to the street level, so that from any point of the condominium the reflected gilded relections of the water can be admired and invites the breeze to admire the beauty of the Mayan Riviera.
The architectonic language is originated by the relation that it has with the typical vegetation of the place, the sea and the beach. The use of a wood on movable panels in the facades displays a game of light and shade in all the departments and terraces. The orientation is defined by the impressive views towards the sea. The common areas, ponds, spa and terraces invite to a full open space of privacy.
Magia Playa is a magical experience, a unique form of life and an intense emotion. With it's location, beauty and style, Magia Playa becomes an extension of Playa del Carmen charm.

I think the Mariposa is my favorite. It seems to have so many different creative aspects to it. The Go Wild is stunning to look at as is the Ciao Bella but they are a created fewer unique pieces. I have to admit it makes me want to look at these papers more than anything else I have seen displayed online. Awesome marketing!ReplyDelete

Ball bearing rating life for radial contact bearings is calculated per ANSI standard and AFBMA standard 9-1978. It is known as the L10 rating and is the life rating of apparently identical bearings in millions of revolutions. For a single bearing, it is the life associated with 90 percent reliability. The calculations that follow are outlined in Machinery's Handbook 25.
The encoder under study uses a R6 series bearing (52100 chrome steel) of standard construction. The bore is 0.375 inches, .0005 inch maximum radial play, .0007 inch maximum axial play, and having 13 degrees maximum contact angle.
For a unit consisting of two similar, single row, radial contact ball bearings, in a duplex mounting, the pair is considered as one, double row, radial contact ball bearing. i equals 2 in such a case and fc is from the duplex bearing column in table 25.
Encoder Unit Under Study (UUS):
Given axial load of 40 pounds and a radial load of 35 pounds, we can calculate the L10 life rating.
Benchmark encoder (BMK):
BEI H25, axial load 40 pounds, radial load 35 pounds, published L10 rating 2 x 108 revolutions.
Assuming the load factors are the same, we can calculate the basic bearing load rating (C) for the benchmark encoder.
Using the benchmark value for L10 and the unit under study value for C, we can calculate the improvement in load for the conditions in P.
Therefore, given the same bearing life and axial load as the benchmark, the unit under study having a greater value for C has a greater radial load specification.
Since the maximum load condition specification is a combination of the axial and radial loads, a graph more appropiately describes the bearing load specification.
Next we consider the unit shaft loading in certain applications. These applications fall into two basic classifications. In the first, the unit shaft is attached to a coupling which is then attached to a drive shaft. In the second case, the unit shaft is driven though an attached wheel, pulley or gear. When the unit shaft is coupled to another shaft, the loads can be minimized by careful alignment of the two shafts. Maximum loads are not likely to be present and in most of these applications, a light duty bearing will serve. However, in applications that join the encoder to the mechanical system through wheels, pulleys, gears, etc., the radial bearing load in likely to be significant. The axial shaft load is not much more than the bearing preload plus some axial vector due to misalignment or wear.
Shaft encoders generally use two like bearings to position the encoder shaft. The design can be modeled as a lever to determine true radial bearing loads. A force applied to the end of the encoder shaft is distributed by the two shaft bearings porportional to the distances between the forces. Because shaft lengths can and do vary, we will use a standard distance of 0.5 inches from the face of the bearing to the applied radial load.
Another variable is the distance between the bearings. Larger distances between bearings result in better distribution of the shaft load.
As the graph above illustrates, the bearing load is much less in the UUS encoder due to the greater distance between bearings.
Further, if we hold the near bearing radial load to a specified 35 pounds and move the shaft load out to a greater distance along the shaft, we see that the allowable shaft load increases while maintaining the same bearing life.
Let us now compare the two designs in a given application to see just how dramatic the increase in bearing life can be.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
"The two-disc Vitoria Suite is a joint homage to jazz, blues, southern Spanish flamenco and northern Spanish, Basque folk music. And the first thing to say is that it isn't a revisitation of trumpeter Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain (Columbia, 1960). While Davis' album was built around compositions by the Spanish composers Joaquin Rodrigo and Manuel de Falla (and others by arranger Gil Evans), Vitoria Suite is entirely composed by Marsalis; and while flamenco palmas (hand claps), jaleos (vocal exhortations) and cajon (wooden frame drum) are recurring motifs in Vitoria Suite, the north American/Spanish blend is neither as deep nor as brooding as it was on Sketches of Spain. Instead, in the main, Marsalis uses the Spanish tinge to color the music... Vitoria Suite is inventive, vitalising, superbly performed and totally engaging throughout its 90+ minutes playing time." -All About Jazz
"'Vitoria Suite" is Wynton Marsalis's "Sketches of Spain." Miles Davis enlisted the help of arranger Gil Evans to create his look at music of that Iberian nation. Marsalis does it with his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, which is filled with great sidemen-soloists such as Pittsburgh trumpeter Sean Jones, saxophonist Walter Blanding and guest Paco De Lucia, the guitarist. The result is a 12-piece suite that blends the flamenco rhythms of the Basque region of Spain with the harmonies and phrasing of American jazz. "Smooth in the Night," for instance, sounds like a Spanish ballad as seen by Duke Ellington. On the other hand, "Buleria el Portaton" is dominated by the rhythms offered in its opening handclaps. The two CDs of music are accompanied by a DVD of Marsalis talking about each piece with samples of the performances. This is a remarkable, energetic and seemingly award-winning effort." -Pittsburgh Tribune
"The arrangements and the playing are immaculate — as ever, the trumpeter and his big band negotiate the most intricate passages with the minimum of exertion." -The Sunday Times
Album Reviews:
JazzTimes (p.58) - "[A] richly rewarding two-CD set that cleverly combines the language of flamenco with the trumpeter's native tongue of jazz."

Serious CDC warning announced today
- From: "KW" <keith_warrennospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Fri, 2 Apr 2010 08:42:33 -0400
Very important information has just been made public that I think is
something you should all be aware of: Gonorrhea Lectim. The Center for
Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old
The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect
The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior involving
putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008
...... but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2
years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.
It's sad because it is so easily cured with a new procedure just coming on
the market called Vo-tem-out! You take the first dose/step in 2010 and the
second dosage in 2012, and simply don't engage in such behavior again,
otherwise it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we
know it. Several states are already on top of this like Virginia and New
Jersey, and now Massachusetts, with many more seeing the writing on the
wall. Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you
really care about.

Labeling the mass murder "workplace violence" rather than violence involving a foreign terrorist element deprives the survivors of benefits.
Veterans' benefits, including health care for veterans with service-related injuries, are EARNED. It's part of their compensation for their service. To renege on the commitment to take proper care of veterans is disgusting. The mass murder at Fort Hood involved foreign Islamic infiltration on US soil. In this case, the infiltration targeted a US military installation. Our troops have taken on the duty to defend against such infiltration, and it is our duty to support our troops.
On YouTube:
Published on Feb 13, 2013 by SDAMatt2a
In the wake of an ABC News story detailing claims by victims of the Fort Hood shooting that they have been neglected by the military and 'betrayed' by President Obama, the chair of the House Homeland Security Committee has sent a letter to his fellow members of Congress demanding that the Obama administration classify the attack as a terrorist act and provide full benefits to the victims and their families.
"It is time for the administration to recognize the Fort Hood shooting for what it is—an act of terrorism," wrote Rep. Michael McCaul, R.-Texas, in a letter cosigned by Rep. Frank Wolf, R.-Virginia. "To date, the Department of Defense and the Army classify this attack [as] 'workplace violence,' despite mountains of evidence [that] clearly proves the Ft. Hood shooting was an act of terror."
The letter recommends that members of Congress view the ABC News report, "which highlights the broken promises made to the victims of that attack by the Obama Administration. The video contains never-seen-before footage of the terrorist attack and moving interviews with several of the survivors."
"As this news piece makes clear," wrote McCaul and Wolf, "the result of this inexcusable [workplace violence] classification … is that victims and their families have not received the same recognition or medical and financial benefits as those wounded or killed in war."
In a report that aired on "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline," former police sergeant Kimberly Munley, who helped stop the Ft. Hood shooting, said that President Obama broke the promise he made to her that the victims would be well taken care of.
"Betrayed is a good word," said Munley, who sat next to First Lady Michelle Obama at the 2010 State of the Union address. "Not to the least little bit have the victims been taken care of … In fact, they've been neglected."
There was no comment from the White House about Munley's allegations.
Thirteen people were killed, including a pregnant soldier, and 32 others shot in the Nov. 5, 2009 rampage by the accused shooter, Major Nidal Hasan, at the Army base in Killeen, Texas. Hasan now awaits a military trial on charges of premeditated murder and attempted murder.
Despite extensive evidence that Hasan was in communication with al Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki prior to the attack, the military has denied the victims a Purple Heart and is treating the incident as "workplace violence" instead of "combat related" or terrorism.
Al-Awlaki has since been killed in a U.S. drone attack in Yemen, in what was termed a major victory in the U.S. efforts against al Qaeda.
Munley and dozens of other victims have now filed a lawsuit against the military alleging the "workplace violence" designation means the Fort Hood victims are receiving lower priority access to medical care as veterans, and a loss of financial benefits available to those who injuries are classified as "combat related."

Texas outlasts Michigan to reach championship
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Texas coach Jerritt Elliott held up a blank piece of paper, asking everyone to imagine it as a court. He said he was offering up a little "Volleyball 101" lesson.
Suffice to say, his subsequent X's and O's explanation likely would qualify as a bit more advanced than most spectators' version of just "101." But the point he made was crystal clear: the No. 3 seed Longhorns constantly had to adjust throughout their match to escape unseeded Michigan.
Which Texas did, in thrilling fashion by winning 3-2 in the teams' national semifinal matchup Thursday at the KFC Yum! Center.
"I don't know what the difference was," Texas outside hitter Bailey Webster said. "But I know in the second and third sets, we weren't in our comfort zone."
Elliott then explained that, through some changes in serving strategy, the Longhorns were able to neutralize the Michigan middle blockers in the first, fourth and fifth sets, which Texas won. But it took some time for the Longhorns to figure out the most effective placement of the serves.
"They cover a lot of balls and make you earn it," Elliott said of the Wolverines, who were playing in their program's first final four. "We were able to serve them short or pin their middle sometimes and get them a little bit more predictable."
For most of this tournament, Michigan defied predictions. The Wolverines became just the second unseeded team to make the women's volleyball final four.
And Thursday, Michigan was also trying to reverse a statistical trend that it previously did in its regional-final victory against No. 2 seed Stanford last weekend. Coming into the final four, teams that won the first set in this NCAA tournament ended up winning their matches 77 percent of the time.
That wasn't the case, though, when the Wolverines lost their first set against Stanford, as Michigan came back for a 3-1 victory. Thursday, the Wolverines got down 1-0 again after getting blitzed 25-11. But it looked for a while as if they were going to once again rally for an upset.
Michigan won the second set, 25-21, taking advantage of some crucial errors from the Longhorns. Then the Wolverines maintained their momentum with a 25-23 victory in the third set.
Fans of the Longhorns started to sweat. The Big 12 champions had lost just one match in league play: a five-setter at Iowa State in the regular-season finale. And Texas had surrendered just one set in its four NCAA tournament wins. Now, though, the Longhorns were a set away from elimination.
But just like that, the switch flipped back in Texas' favor again. An athletic team with multiple scoring threats, the Longhorns didn't have the nervous look of playing for their season's survival in the fourth set. Rather, they brought out their bulldozer persona again, winning 25-12 to push the match to the limit.
And here's the mental-background aspect of all this for Texas. The last time the Longhorns were in the final four, in 2010, they were dismissed so quickly their fans barely had time to settle in their seats. That national semifinal loss to eventual champ Penn State had a couple of caveats, though: Setter Hannah Allison had been dealing with an ankle injury during her freshman season, and Webster was sitting out the year with a knee injury.
You could legitimately say Texas overachieved that year just to make the final four; still, it stung the Longhorns to be beaten so soundly in the semis.
"That's a huge obstacle we had to overcome," Allison acknowledged. "That mentally beat us up. It was hard to regroup from that because of the way that that match went down.
"I think a lot of it is confidence, but that confidence comes from two or three years of building trust and believing we can get back to that spot."
That's the attitude that Texas -- which lost to eventual champ UCLA in the regional finals last year -- took into the deciding set Thursday. It helped that when it comes to weapons, the Longhorns have quite a spectacular variety of them. And they all came into play in the final set, which Texas won 15-11.
Everything from the airy athleticism of Webster, who at one point hung almost suspended as she sharply angled a kill over two would-be blockers, to the gritty defense of libero Sarah Palmer, who finished with a career-high 31 digs.
Webster led the Longhorns with 18 kills, and three teammates were also in double figures: Haley Eckerman with 16, Sha'Dare McNeal 13, and Khat Bell 11.
"I think it makes it difficult for teams to scout certain players and try to stop one," Allison said. "For me, I can be a little bit creative with who I set, what play-calls I make, because I have so many players who can put the ball away."
Now, Texas will get another chance at winning the program's second national championship. The Longhorns won the first before these current players were born in 1988. Texas has been in the NCAA final twice since: in 1995, when the Longhorns lost to Nebraska, and in 2009, when they lost to Penn State.
"When you're a coach at Texas, there's a lot of pressure and a lot of eyes are on you," Elliott said. "We've done such a good job as a program and a staff to get back here. If we're going to win, the players are going to have to do it. We've coached them enough.
"They're going to have to make plays and be mentally tough, like they were tonight."
