A March 14, 2014 story in Breitbart's Big Government notes that some strange posters of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas are appearing in Beverly Hills that reads "Beverly Hilton. TED CRUZ'S SO - CAL BLACKLISTED & LOVING IT TOUR, March 15." The poster depicts Cruz bare chested, covered with tattoos, and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
"Although the location of the poster says the Hilton, Senator Cruz is expected to be the keynote speaker at the Claremont Institute's annual Winton Churchill dinner on Saturday night at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
"The black-and-white images have appeared in front of popular L.A. clubs: the Viper Room, the Seventh Veil, Whiskey-a-Go-Go, as well as on car windshields and utility poles among other places."
The appearance of the posters caused Cruz to make a wry comment on twitter.
"Saw this, but noticed an error. So I wanted to make one thing clear: I don't smoke cigarettes."
No denial, it should be noted, of having body ink.

Those who know me well, know how much I love to read, attend courses and learn as well as teach. For over 6 years I have had the enjoyment of helping new sales representatives in our office in my capacity as office trainer. This continues to be a source of fullfillment and creativity as well as a way of paying back all of the guidance and help that I have received over the past 28+ years from many mentors.

Now that they are grown, I enjoy more time gardening, golfing and visiting with family and friends (many of whom are past clients).
As a member of Blue Mountain Golf and Country Club there are lots of opportunities to relax (sometimes) on the course while enjoying the scenery of the area.
Since 2007 I have been an active volunteer with the Georgian Triangle Association of Realtors in a variety of committees and task force positions.
I enjoy organizing office charitable events such as "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes" to benefit the local women and children centre as well as CENTURY 21 Millennium's Caring for Kids Program. We sponsor needy families in the area and supply the children with a spectacular Christmas! It's an incredibly inspiring and emotional event every year!

PCC Softball Headed Back to St. George, UT
Bulldogs Top Spartanburg Methodist to Win Region X/District J Tourney
SPARTANBURG, S.C.—Pitt Community College is heading back to St. George, Utah, later this week for the NJCAA Division I Softball Championship Tournament after beating Spartanburg Methodist College Sunday, 4-3, in extra innings.
Christie Brown's two-out single to center field in the bottom of the ninth inning scored Casey Mitchell from second base to give the Bulldogs their second straight Region X Conference Tournament title and their second straight trip to Utah for the national tourney.
Freshman pitcher Kelli Patrick picked up the win for Pitt, which is now 48-8 this season.
After a first-round bye Friday, top-seeded PCC began tournament play with a 2-0 victory over USC-Sumter on Saturday. Coach Junior Bailey's Bulldogs then put away arch-rival Louisburg College, 2-0, to advance to Sunday's championship.
Spartanburg Methodist outdueled Louisburg Sunday morning to advance to the championship with one loss. The Pioneers then topped Pitt, 4-0, to set up a deciding game in the double-elimination event.
Patrick earned all-tournament honors for her play over the weekend along with Mitchell and teammates Charity Watson and Amanda Daw.
This year's national championship will take place at the Canyons Softball Complex in St. George May 19-21. PCC will be the 16th-seed while Arizona's Yavapai College comes in as the top seed at 62-4 overall.

We continue our brief return to Stephen King's Entertainment Weekly column with an article that delves into books. Rather than do a top list or a general list, King formats this column with categories that are modeled after awards.
There's Best Science Fiction, Best Western, Book of the Summer, Best Horror Novelist among others.
He covers a wide range of categories so you'd be hard pressed to find at least one book that would suit your tastes.
King's assertion that Citizen Kane is a good movie is somewhat baffling given the fact that it, you know, stunk to high heaven, but he could just be using that since it is perceived as a masterpiece.
I'm also not sure what King meant by "geek factor", nor do I see why that would be a bad thing. I guess the implication is that it would appeal to mainstream readers, but those two things aren't mutually exclusive in my book. It's certainly possible to go too far with it, but I still maintain that having a "geek factor" isn't necessarily a strike against the work in question.
While King has sung the praises of "The Ruins" before, it was nice to see that get an enthusiastic plug. It stands as the only book on the list that I am familiar with, so it's really the only one I can comment on. The book really is a good read. Smith's other book, "A Simple Plan" is also a great read too for that matter. Hopefully he can get another book out in the near future as his record so far is pretty impressive.
The article may have been written in 2006, but book recommendations have no expiration date. So, if you're looking for some new reading material, this article may give you some new titles to consider.

According to TSN on Monday, the Calgary Flames will be without their goaltender, Karri Ramo until after the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi.
Ramo was injured in Calgary's 4-3 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The nature of the injury was a sprained medial collateral ligament.
Ramo made six saves on six Wild shot attempts before Reto Berra came into the game.
It was very interesting that the Flames called up Finnish prospect Jani Ortio instead of the more experienced netminder in Joey MacDonald to backup Berra this week. The Flames play the Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers before the NHL stops play for two weeks.
After the Olympic break, the Flames' first game will be against the Los Angeles Kings on February 27.
The Flames are red hot at the moment because they have won their last five games.

I was in one of my fed up moods—sick of my job, my boss, my industry. For the past twenty years I worked in the garment center, so it wasn't surprising. Committed to making an escape into something more enjoyable and not knowing quite how to do this, I decided to start by taking a small step. I enrolled in a twelve week course in Copyediting at NYU that promised to teach me a practical skill in a field that at least included writing. I hoped to master this technique and be able to score an entry level position in publishing that would provide my ticket out of my current hell.
The class met on Tuesday evenings. I found the classroom, already filled with eager students, and swiveled into one of the plastic chairs with the writing table attached, in the back of the small room. I hadn't been in a classroom like this since college, about twenty five years ago, and noticed differences from those I remembered. A dry mark board replaced the blackboard, the chairs were small, cheap and uncomfortable, but I wondered if this was only because I no longer occupied the body of a twenty year old but was instead trapped in one that was forty-eight, complete with an arthritic hip and a knee problem.
The class was comprised primarily of men and women in their twenties. There was one overweight, gray-haired man who appeared to be my age, stuffed into the seat ahead of me. Ah, a peer at last.
Ms. Cahn was a woman who looked to be in her seventies. She alternated between two sets of eyeglasses, depending upon what she was attempting to read. I studied her, sizing her up, trying to figure out her story. It's something I do, creating possible stories for people; it keeps me entertained. She was dressed conservatively in a pastel blue twin sweater set with sensible slacks and wore shoes designed for comfort. There was no wedding ring on her finger. I wondered if her husband had passed away and she lived alone now content with the old cat that had replaced him, taking freelance copy editing work and teaching as an adjunct professor to make ends meet.
We went around the room, each person stating their name and where they were employed. One by one, my classmates called out the names of various publishing houses: "I'm Amanda and I work at Knopf as a publishing assistant." "My name is Jessica and I'm an editorial assistant at Scholastic," "I'm Karen and I'm a research assistant at…" There were some reactions as people learned they worked for the same company, thereby helping to form a connection, binding them, so to speak, as some of the books they helped to produce.
When it was the older guy's turn he said, "Well, my name is Robert and I'm a retired lawyer. I'm taking this class because my girlfriend said it would be a good thing for me to do." It got a bit of a chuckle from the room, but I was wondering if by enrolling in this class, he was making some last ditch effort to salvage a relationship. Or was his girlfriend just encouraging him to get him out of the apartment so she could continue her rendezvous with the younger, hotter guy she met recently in Yoga. This is where my mind went.
Then it was my turn. "I'm Fran and I work for a children's dress manufacturer." This got a reaction from Ms. Cahn, mixing surprise and delight, a typical response from someone outside the industry. I decided that I would maximize on this interest in my vocation, even if it was misguided. I needed an edge if I was going to try and compete with these younger, energetic, upstarts.

Gerrard thumps home late penalty winner for Liverpool
Rodgers' men survive disastrous own-goal start to finally put dogged Fulham away
Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge (right) scores against Fulham despite the efforts of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg during their Premier League match at Craven Cottage. Photograph: Eddie Keogh/Reuters
This was winning ugly after their exhilarating success at the weekend, but Liverpool will hardly care. Just as they had started to make out the rumbling presence of Tottenham Hotspur in fifth place at their back, Brendan Rodgers' team plucked victory here from a mishmash of a display.
Steven Gerrard's penalty was thumped home emphatically and the momentum is with those on Merseyside in pursuit of the Premier League leaders.
This was brutal for Fulham, whose display had merited real reward only for panic to grip with 17 seconds remaining on the clock.
Offence clear
Sascha Riether felled Daniel Sturridge in the area with the offence clear, and Gerrard's conversion dispatched with glee.
This time there was to be no stoppage-time salvation to bolster their struggle against the drop. Their toils are maintained.
A trip to the side currently propping up the division had felt like an opportunity for Liverpool, fresh from that swashbuckling dismissal of Arsenal and with their credentials as title challengers increasingly persuasive. Yet that 5-1 thrashing had been administered at Anfield, a near impenetrable fortress for Rodgers' charges this term.
Away from home this team have veered from the sublime to the ridiculous: arriving here their record on the road was the worst of the top eight, even if the two wins achieved in their previous nine matches on enemy territory had seen them rattle up five-goal tallies. That shows what can be achieved when they click. When they labour, however, they are distinctly vulnerable.
The Fulham owner Shahid Khan, fresh from three days of meetings with the chief executive Alistair Mackintosh back at Motspur Park, must have been hugely encouraged, and he soon had a lead to celebrate.
Kolo Toure had done well to hook away one early Kieran Richardson centre when, eight minutes in, the winger delivered again and the Ivorian's composure drained as the ball bobbled along the six-yard box. The veteran swung his right boot at the cross only to slice it beyond a startled Mignolet.
This was Fulham doing to Liverpool what Rodgers' side have tended to impose on all-comers in recent weeks. The hosts swarmed all over dithering opponents, the feverish pressing instigated from Holtby down the entire spine.
Starved of time, the visitors were flustered with passes overhit or allowed to dribble out of play, and chances conceded. One shot spat at the near-post by Luis Suarez aside, an effort turned away by Maarten Stekelenburg, Liverpool had been limp in reply.
Yet their quality would rear just before the break. With Tunnicliffe grounded and possession lost, Gerrard conjured a first-time pass with the outside of his right foot from inside the centre-circle, which zipped between Burn and Johnny Heitinga for Sturridge to collect at pace. His finish was crisp and accurate, flying in off the far post, and Liverpool, almost inconceivably, had hauled themselves level.
It was the eighth game in succession in which Sturridge had registered, equalling a club record, a haul to warm the watching England number two, Ray Lewington, despite his Fulham connections.
The visitors needed it to spark a more authoritative display thereafter, with urgency injected into their approach from the restart and Gerrard an increasingly powerful presence at the base of their midfield.
Suarez, too, was finding his range as he glided with menace from flank to flank. The Uruguayan had been enduring a relatively barren spell of late and was exasperated to see one battered attempt thump against the far post.
Rare foray forward
Sascha Riether's cross from the right represented a rare foray forward but still should have been dealt with, only for Martin Skrtel to stretch out a leg and succeed only in laying the ball off perfectly for an unmarked Richardson inside the six-yard box. With Mignolet wrong-footed, the winger thumped in from close-range.
That proved a false dawn, Philippe Coutinho permitted to drift across the penalty area with his shot flicking from William Kwist to sear beyond Stekelenburg and into the corner.
The goalkeeper was retired soon afterwards having been caught inadvertently by Suarez, a bruise already swelling up under his right eye, though the replacement could do nothing to prevent Gerrard's penalty at the death. This was cruel for Fulham. Liverpool, in contrast, could not believe their luck.

Olympic Update, Day #4: Stone Advances, Matheson Reaches Knockout Stage
DAY 1: Hendershot, Loch, Matheson, Prendes, Stone
DAY 2: Lind, Morin, Prendes, J Reinprecht, K Reinprecht, Wilkinson
DAY 3: Lawrence, Loch, Ochal, Scanlan
DAY 4: Matheson, Prendes, J Reinprecht, K Reinprecht, Stone
Three Tigers looked to move on, while two eyed a major rematch, during Day 4 of the 2012 London Games.
The first Tiger to move forward was Gevvie Stone '07, who reached the single sculls semifinal by taking second in her quarterfinal this morning (7:39.67). Stone will now race in Lane 2 of the second semifinal (Sweden, U.S.A., China, Denmark, New Zealand, Azerbaijan) on Aug 2 at 4:30 am EDT; a top-three finish in that race will send Stone to the gold medal final on Aug. 4 at 4:30 am EDT.
Former lightweight national champion Robin Prendes was also looking for the gold medal final, but his U.S. lightweight men's four placed fifth in the morning semifinal in a time of 6:05.06. Great Britain, Switzerland and the Netherlands advanced in the semi, which sends the U.S. to the 'B' final Aug. 2 at 5 am EDT.
Diana Matheson '08 led Team Canada to a huge rally for a 2-2 tie against Sweden. Sweden led 2-0 early, but Canada scored one before halftime and another in the 84th minute to earn a spot in the knockout round. Canada will play its quarterfinal on Friday, Aug. 3 against Great Britain in Coventry, England at 2:30 p.m. ET.
Both Julia Reinprecht '14 and Katie Reinprecht '13 again contributed significant minutes in their second Olympic competition, as the duo was integral in Team U.S.A. earning a 1-0 victory over Argentina. The Americans went up in the first half and a gritty defensive effort preserved the U.S.'s first win in pool play. The victory marks Team U.S.A.'s first win over Argentina in the Olympics. The U.S. - Argentina rivalry over the past year has been substantial, as the Americans defeated the Argentinians, 4-2, in the 2011 Pan American Games to qualify for the London Games. The U.S. returns to action on Thursday, Aug. 2 at 5:45 a.m. EDT versus Australia. The game will be broadcasted on NBC Sports.
Three Tigers will be in competition Aug. 1, and each will be seeking gold.
At 6:50 a.m. EDT, Sara Hendershot '10 and teammate Sarah Zelenka will race in the gold medal final in the women's pairs. The former Tiger stroke will row in the second lane of the final (Romania, U.S.A., Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Germany).
Twenty minutes later, the men's eights finals will be held. Sam Loch '06, a member of the 2006 Eastern Sprints and Henley champions, will lead the Australian boat, led by longtime Princeton head coach Curtis Jordan, into the gold medal final. The Aussies took the last spot in the repechage, but they'll have the same shot as anybody at winning gold; Australia will take off in lane 6 (Netherlands, Great Britain, U.S.A., Germany, Canada, Australia).
Soren Thompson '05, a Roper Trophy winner, will make his Olympic debut in the men's epee competition (5 a.m. EDT). Thompson will take on Germany's Joerg Fiedler in the first round.

Starting early september, the 'water – curse or blessing' exhibition will be held at the aedes am pfefferberg. The theme of this exhibition is to present a series of urban, infrastructural, architectural and planning proposals for east, south and southeast asia.
Over 50% of the world's population lives in cities and 90% of those individuals live near substantial bodies of water. the region's growing population living within close vicinity to oceans and rivers will become increasingly affected by a range of issues including water shortages, droughts, floods and a rise in sea levels.
the presented proposals were generated by a sampling of architects and urban planners to assist the affected countries in coping with their water related issues. topics addressed by these proposals include rainwater harvesting, desalination, flood protection and other infrastructural improvements to contribute to improved water management.

We all have our fantasies. These days mine lean a bit more towards getting more sleep than chance encounters with Salma Hayek. But one thing I've never given up on, no matter how unlikely, is the daydream of one day living in Italy.
Any wine lover who's been to the small towns in any one of Italy's wine regions knows what I'm talking about. There's just something about Italy that's truly magical if you're someone who loves food and wine.
But I never knew quite how magical it could be, until this week, when the faucets of Marino, Italy started pouring out wine instead of water.
Even today, in some small Italian villages you can go buy wine from the guy down the street who makes it. Show up with your jug and open the tap, and pay for what you take. Which was why some folks in Marino wasted no time grabbing jugs and bottles and filling up when the taps started running with something a little tastier than usual.
What to wine lovers was as close to a miracle as we might ever experience was actually the work of bungling civic engineers, who accidentally routed a pipeline of wine (which was destined, as it is every year at this time, for the city's public fountain in celebration of the harvest) into the domestic water pipeline instead.
I'm sure we'd all prefer our wine not to taste of ancient (probably lead) city pipes, but the concept is hard to beat. Just another reason to daydream.

July 09, 2010
The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry's international relationships continued to grow this summer, as five school representatives traveled to China during the third week of June. The group met with Chinese dental education leaders at two schools to discuss trends and share best practices in dental education.
Participating in the weeklong trip were Dr. Patrick J. Ferrillo, Jr., interim provost for University of the Pacific; Dr. Nader Nadershahi, acting dean of the Dugoni School of Dentistry; Dr. Anders Nattestad, professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the school's director of global initiatives; Gary Mitchell, president of the Pacific Dugoni Foundation; and Dr. Colin Wong, a graduate, member of the Foundation board and former president of the school's Alumni Association.
The visit included a meeting with students, faculty and administrators at the Guanghua School of Stomatology at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou. School leaders gave a tour of clinic and school facilities and hosted a discussion and reception for the Dugoni School representatives. The school offered a warm welcome to Ferrillo, who was appointed as a visiting professor at the college earlier this year. Ferrillo and Nattestad gave a guest lecture attended by school faculty.
During the latter part of their trip, the group spent time at the School & Hospital of Stomatology at Wenzhou Medical College in Wenzhou. The team toured dental clinic facilities and participated in discussions about current trends in Chinese dental education. The schools also signed a collaborative agreement to work together to create a student/faculty exchange initiative between the two institutions.
This is the second trip to Wenzhou that Dugoni School representatives have made since 2009. Over the past two years, the Dugoni School of Dentistry has also hosted visitors from the Wenzhou Medical College in San Francisco a handful of times.
"Any time we can exchange information about current trends in dental education with international counterparts, we enhance our own ability to educate students and improve oral health for patients," said Ferrillo. "I look forward to seeing our school's international relationships continue to develop in China and elsewhere around the globe."
The trip is part of the broader Global Initiative in Dental Education (GIDE) recently announced by the school as part of its Strategic Plan. The school is developing links and exchange programs with schools in the Middle East, Asia and other regions of the world. The dental school also is engaged in several international activities such as its strong International Dental Students program for those seeking to practice in the United States.
The school is also actively involved in supporting the improvement of global dental education through the International Federation of Dental Educators and Association (IFDEA). Ferrillo serves as president of IFDEA, Nattestad is IFDEA's executive director and Nadershahi is on the IFDEA board of directors. While in China, the team presented a certificate to Dr. Ling Jun-qi, professor and dean of Guanghua School of Stomatology, to recognize her selection as a member of the IFDEA board. The group also conducted an IFDEA board meeting with colleagues in other parts of the globe.

This week, I'm summoning my awesome power as an online columnist and declaring Chin Chin your new favorite band. You kids pouting over the loss of Jamiroquai's squirrelly baselines, buck up. And those who wish they could understand the cheeky lyrics that pepper the slinky disco of Los Amigos Invisibles, calm down. Chin Chin is here with a boatload of soul as their Tuesday night album release at Union Pool demonstrated. All warbling Rhodes disco featuring support from bubbling soul singer, Jesse Boykins. And the lead singer made it work in a satiny kimono. Genius.
Wednesday evening, Pharoahe Monch touched down at SOBs for some fun and games. He launched right into tracks like "Welcome To The Terrordome" "Let Go" "Got You" and "The Light." About half-way into the set he stepped back and BK MC Talib Kweli bust out with a couple verses of his rally song "Hostile Gospel." Of course Monch wrapped it up with the crowd favorites: the velvety "Desire" and the menacing, super hit "Simon Says." The highlight of the show however, was Pharaohe's backup singer who turned the stage into a pulpit, lighting up the stage with electric, churchified wails.
And bless jaded co-workers who think Erykah Badu tickets are soooo whatevs. On Friday one such co-worker ambled by, waving a ticket and noted, "you like The Roots, right?" Well, no duh. The concert was stunning for a couple reasons. One, I ain't ne'er been to no Radio City Music Hall so I got a kick out of the vaudevillian drapery that even made the ginormous flat-screens all pretty-like. Two, I ain't ne'er been to no Erykah Badu concert. She had a little on stage work station complete with a laptop, synth and thermos where she worked her wizardry. Most Erykah fans are madly in love with her and if "On & On" is like the first kiss then "Otherside of the Game" is like the first time you made love. On stage, the former was sprightly, the latter sensual. She also did extended versions of album cuts like "Orange Moon" and "Green Eyes." And ooh chile, the performance art on "Green Eyes" is worth the ticket alone. Best $100 my co-worker has ever spent.

Afterwards, I checked out the URB Magazine after party featuring DJ Spinna and ?uestlove on the decks at Sutra. I'm really beginning to think there are multiple ?uestloves because in the 30 minutes it took me to get downtown, homeboy was well into a dizzying set of top shelf mid-90s hip hop (Biggie, Guru et al). ?uest took the top floor, Spinna took the basement and between the two everything from Jade (Don't Walk Awaaay boy) to Janet pumped through the speakers. And it wouldn't be Spinna party without the never-ending Prince vs Michael debate on the dance floor. Even Mos Def made an appearance. But I think the week belonged to Louie Vega. People were lined up around 5:45 before the 6pm kick-off at the Hudson and Louie wasn't afraid of no disco heat. He served up sizzling hits like Jackie Moore's "This Time Baby" and Cher's "Take Me Home." Overness. People just couldn't keep their feets still. Like this guy:

Greg Palast, investigative reporter for the BBC, Guardian newspapers and Harper's, and author of Armed Madhouse, discusses GOP efforts to prevent soldiers from voting and the international oil politics surrounding America's relationships with Venezuela, Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
MP3 here. (46:56)
Greg Palast is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Armed Madhouse (Penguin 2006). His first reports appeared on BBC television and in the Guardian newspapers. Author of another New York Times bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, Palast is best known in his native USA as the journalist who, for the Observer (UK), broke the story of how Jeb Bush purged thousands of Black Florida citizens from voter rolls before the 2000 election, thereby handing the White House to his brother George. His reports on the theft of election 2004, the spike of the FBI investigations of the bin Ladens before September 11, the secret State Department documents planning the seizure of Iraq's oil fields have won him a record six "Project Censored" for reporting the news American media doesn't want you to hear. He returned to America to report for Harper's magazine.[audio:http://dissentradio.com/radio/07_05_03_palast.mp3]

Burrough Hill Country Park
Located between Burrough on the Hill and Somerby, south of Melton Mowbray, Burrough Hill Country Park is one of the most striking and historic features in the landscape of eastern Leicestershire. The well-preserved Iron Age hill fort dramatically crowns a steep-sided promontory of land reaching 210m (690 ft), with superb views.

The Fresno State women's basketball team opens up Mountain West play on New Year's Day, facing UNLV at noon PT in the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, Nev.
The Bulldogs (6-5) are entering their second season in the Mountain West and last year swept both games from the Rebels when they shot 46.5 percent in the two games.
Fresno State went 13-3 and finished second in its first season of Mountain West play before going on to win the 2013 Reese's Mountain West Tournament that was played in Las Vegas last year. The conference tournament returns to Las Vegas once again this season.
The Bulldogs enter conference play having lost their past two games, the last defeat coming at the hands of No. 4 Stanford on Saturday.
UNLV, who is 3-9 overall on the season, has won just one of its last eight games. However, all three of the Lady Rebels' victories this season have come at home.
Fresno State is 1-2 away from home this year and this game will be its first on the road since Nov. 30 at Seton Hall. The Bulldogs recently completed a five-game home stand with a 3-2 record.
In the previous four years, the 'Dogs have owned a 29-3 record in the month of January. The three losses have come at Wyoming in 2013, at UNLV in 2012 and at LA Tech in 2011.
The Bulldogs enter Wednesday's game ranked second in the MW in scoring defense, allowing just 63.5 points per game and are second in steals with 9.5 per game
Bulldog Headlines
► This is the second-straight season the Bulldogs have opened up Mountain West play on the road. Last year, Fresno State defeated preseason favorite San Diego State 80-72 on the road in its first-ever Mountain West league game.
► Senior guard Taylor Thompson, with 269 steals in her career, is seven steals away from breaking the school record that was set last season by guard Rosie Moult (275). Thompson is third in the conference this season, averaging 2.5 steals per game.
► Junior forward Alex Sheedy recorded her second double-double of the season in Saturday's loss to No. 4 Stanford. There have been five double-doubles registered by Bulldogs this season. In addition to Sheedy's two, Moriah Faulk has two and Jacinta Vandenberg has one.
► This is just the third time in the last 30 years that Fresno State is playing on New Year's Day. The 'Dogs won 79-63 at San Jose State on Jan. 1, 2005 and defeated Wyoming on Jan. 1, 1994 in the Oklahoma State tournament.
Scouting UNLV (3-9, 0-0 MW)
Like the Bulldogs, UNLV enters the game riding a two-game losing streak. The Lady Rebels are 3-6 at home this year with wins over Santa Clara, Cal State Bakersfield and Clemson. Fresno State has also played Santa Clara this year, winning 69-49 while UNLV defeated the Broncos 77-70 in its season opener. The Lady Rebels are shooting 39.1 percent from the field and have three players scoring in double figures with Alana Cesarz leading the team at 13.8 points per game.

Bulldogs Win Big On Senior Day
The Fresno State women's basketball team closed out its regular season with an emphatic 90-64 victory over UNLV Saturday on Senior Day at the Save Mart Center.
UNLV leads the all-time series with Fresno State 15-9, but the Bulldogs have won seven of the last eight meetings in the series. The 'Dogs have just a 3-9 record when playing at UNLV, but last season in the first year under head coach Raegan Pebley, the Bulldogs pulled off a 72-66 victory against the Lady Rebels in Las Vegas. Fresno State also won the second meeting against UNLV last season at home by the margin of 90-64. Pebley's Bulldogs forced UNLV to turn the ball over 42 times in the two games.
Beginning Mountain West Play
Fresno State enters its second season of Mountain West play on Wednesday at UNLV. In year one in the league, the 'Dogs went 13-3 in the regular season to finish second in the league. They then went on to win the Mountain West tournament to gain the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament, which marked the Bulldogs' sixth-straight season in the big dance.

One of the new features of Windows 8 is the UEFI "Secure Boot", "which uses a public-key infrastructure to verify the integrity of the operating system and prevent unauthorized programs such as bootkits from infecting the device".
According to this Wikipedia reference:
The UEFI 2.2 specification adds a protocol known as Secure boot, which can secure the boot process by preventing the loading of drivers or OS loaders that are not signed with an acceptable digital signature. When secure boot is enabled, it is initially placed in "Setup" mode, which allows a public key known as the "Platform key" (PK) to be written to the firmware. Once the key is written, secure boot enters "User" mode, where only drivers and loaders signed with the platform key can be loaded by the firmware. Additional "Key Exchange Keys" (KEK) can be added to a database stored in memory to allow other certificates to be used, but they must still have a connection to the private portion of the Platform key. Secure boot can also be placed in "Custom" mode, where additional public keys can be added to the system that do not match the private key.
Probably 99% of known viruses (if not 100%) take advantage of some boot driver or boot process to transfer itself to system memory.
Assuming that I'm running a Windows 8 with Secure Boot on my UEFI system, could I feel safe to use my system without an anti-virus or even with a antivirus that open itself on Windows bootloader?
PS: Please explain if I completelly misunderstood the meaning of "Secure Boot" or UEFI features.

Whether traveling through an airport or cheering the kids at the soccer field, staying hydrated is important. Disposable water bottles can be expensive and aren't eco-friendly. Re-fillable water bottles are a eco-friendly solution, but what about the water from a fountain. The solution to filtered water on the go is the Thermos Filtration Bottle.
The new Thermos brand Filtration Bottle is for the consumer who wants clean, delicious tasting water on the go. This bottle features an innovative gravity-fed filtration method that is certified to meet strict standards for reducing contaminants such as aesthetic chlorine, chloramine, atrazine and particulate class V, as well as bad tastes and odor from water. This unique filtration design allows water to pass through the filter naturally and not by force, giving it increased contact time with the filter, resulting in contaminant-reduced water that is ready to drink. The Genuine Thermos Brand Filtration Bottle is the latest NSF/ANSI 53 certified portable filtration bottle on the market today.
"Thermos is dedicated to creating quality products for our customers and we've undertaken an extensive process to create a filtration bottle that meets the highest industry standards. We're extremely proud to present our new Genuine Thermos Brand Filtration Bottle to the world, bringing a new level of quality assurance for people who want to enjoy freshly filtered water wherever they go," said Rick Dias, President, Chief Operating Officer, Thermos L.L.C.
As families approach the summer vacation season, the Thermos Filtration Bottle is a must have travel item. The Thermos Filtration Bottle is convenient and a cost saver. If your family has flown recently, the cost of bottle water at the airport is expensive. Plus, water from a fountain can have a funny taste. With the Thermos Filtration Bottle, families can keep one in their travel bags and have good tasting, filtered water anywhere. From travel to vacation destination, filtered water is at your finger tips.
The Genuine Thermos Brand Filtration Bottle is available as a 20-ounce/590 ml capacity bottle with the filter in place or a 22-ounce/650 ml capacity without. It is available in four colors including clear, blue, pink or smoke and is sold at Target stores nationwide for $24.99. Two-pack replacement filters are also available at Target for $12.99. Each filter lasts for approximately 20 gallons or 128 full bottles of water.

Following a desperate search to fill a critical spot the rotation, the Diamondbacks may have settled on an acceptable starting pitcher.
The search for a fifth starter has been as elusive as finding shade in the searing desert sun.
After Trevor Cahill was banished to the bullpen and Mike Bolsinger pitcher himself back to Triple-A Reno, Chase Anderson has stepped in and put a finger in the dyke.
In three starts with Arizona since his recall from Reno on May 6, Anderson, a 26-year-old from Wichita Falls, Tex., has won all three of his starts and is the first pitcher in franchise history to win his first three major league starts.
In the last two victories over the Dodgers and Padres, Anderson was supported with double-digit run production and an eight run, first inning on Wednesday night high-lighted his latest triumph.
More important, Anderson is getting people out with a measure of proficiency.
"You really can't do what you're not capable," he said in the clubhouse before Thursday's game with Cincinnati. "You need to be aware of what you can do and then execute. The key is location. To be successful, you have to have location."
For his part, Anderson seems to be out-smarting his opposition, Rarely does his fastball rise above 90-92 miles per hour but his assortment can be stifling. Anderson's change was rated one of the best of prospects by Baseball America, and he continues to challenge hitters with an array of pitches.
"(Anderson) throws all of his pitches and his location is strong," manager Kirk Gibson said. "Plus, he uses both sides of the plate effectively."
Then, Gibson paid a strong complement.
"(Anderson) is a survivor," he added. "Take what happened in his last start."
That would be a 12-6 win over San Diego Wednesday night. During the fifth inning, Anderson was struck on the left shin with a smash off the bat of Jedd Gyorko with two outs. Anderson shook off the injury and stayed in to complete the required five innings for the decision.
"We've pushed him a little in his starts here," Gibson added. "As we go forward, I would like to see him go deeper in games."
Among his three starts so far at the major league level, the longest Anderson pitched was 5 1/3 innings against each the White Sox and Dodgers and five innings in his latest win against San Diego.
Against Cincinnati lefty Tony Cingrani Thursday night, catcher Miguel Montero was given a rare day off.
Currently, the Diamondbacks are in the middle of a stretch in which they play 33 games in 34 days and Montero has appeared in 50 of the 55 games prior to Thursday night. At that point, Montero leads all catchers in games with 48 and innings caught (426 1/3).
"Miggy is healthy and feeling fine," said manager Kirk Gibson. "We do need to rest him from time-to-time and we're in that stretch of games where players will rest."
Against Cingrani, back-up Tuffy Gosewisch (.241, one home run, four RBIs) was in the starting line-up and hitting eighth.

Part Ten
Journey's End
"Where did your lady go," Raytch asked, staring his one-eyed stare.
"She went home," said Enoch. "Home to Goodhope."
Raytch just nodded, as though he understood completely. "And what will we find in the west?"
"I don't know," Enoch admitted, "but I am anxious to discover it."
"Even if it be death?"
That stopped Enoch, and sent a chill through him. Might it be death? Then, he shook his head, and said, "no, it will not be death, for I am in love, and protected by it."
Raytch sighed, clearly not believing it. "I hope you are right, Sar Enoch. I would hate to lose a good friend, especially one who claims to have found love."
"Which way, Raytch?" Enoch asked. Raytch flew from his shoulder to follow the sun, and Enoch followed his friend.
Enoch and Raytch walked for two days, ever westward. By morning guided by the bird's unerring sense of direction, and by afternoon by following the path of the sun.
On the morning of the third day, Raytch flew his accustomed reconnaissance, and returned to say he had seen a tall tower, a single structure, half a day's walk away.
"That is it, friend Raytch," he told his avian companion.
But Raytch doubted it. "We are not yet at the horizon, Sar Enoch."
"Nor will we ever go so far as that. I do not believe I was ever meant to reach the horizon, for as our experience has shown us, it recedes ever before us. We could walk until our feet were stubs, or your wings broken from the effort of keeping up with me, and never would we get there. I believe that I was set such a destination to teach a life lesson."
"Really?" Said Raytch, and what lesson is that?
"I'm not sure I can put it to proper words, my friend, but I think it has to do with setting realistic goals in life. I could never walk to the moon, any more could you fly there, despite your great strong wings. But keeping your eye on a good and distant goal can do much, I think, to keep your mind off of the little problems that get in the way day after day."
"Is that it, then, do you think? Does that mean we can stop? For, while I will follow you until, as you say, my great strong wings falter, I would not mind finding a place to call home, perhaps even with you in Goodhope, should you return there one day."
"Return I will, my friend, for she is there, my sweet Elsyn."
"Ah," said Raytch. "She told you her true name, then?"
Enoch nodded, but found himself wondering. "You knew her name?"
The bird nodded in his odd way.
"And you never told me?"
Raytch stared, one-eyed, at his friend. "It is clear that I never told you. Sometimes you ask very odd questions."
Enoch sighed. "I meant to say, why did you not tell me?"
Raytch shrugged. "You never asked. It was not my business to interfere with you in this matter."
Enoch sighed again. "Is there anything else about this journey you've been keeping from me?"
Raytch nodded.
"Well, Sar Enoch?"
"Well and be damned! What is it?"
Raytch pointed his wing at the distant tower. "That is your final task."
"What is?" Enoch was getting frustrated, and felt a little betrayed.
"You must go to that tower to meet a man."
"What man!" He yelled into the day.
Raytch stepped back, as though afraid for his safety. "The man in the tower, Sar Enoch. Please do not be angry with me. I am not like you, nor do I think like you. I meant you no harm by withholding information. My curiosity is different from yours, and it never occurred to me to tell you more."
"I am sorry, dear friend. I am just sad, and tired, and unsure of how this will all end. I had not thought of death being the end of things, and yet I know it is the end of all things."
"I trust you will prevail this time, as you have every step of the way so far."
"I hope you are right, Raytch. For I have a reason to return to Goodhope that I did not have yesterday."
"Elsyn?" Raytch asked, and Enoch nodded.
Steeling himself for confrontation, Enoch started walking to the tower.
By mid-day they stood there, looking up. The tower was tall, but strangely familiar to him. It was as though he had spent time there before.
"I know this place," said Enoch. "Or at least I believe I do. There should be an entrance on the western side.
"I cannot go with you, Sar Enoch."
"What? Why not?"
"I do not know, but I know as well as I know my name and that I can fly, that I cannot ascend that tower with you. This last part of your quest you must accomplish yourself."
"But, alone?" Enoch was shaken by his friend's unexpected words.
"Yes, alone. I would have given my life for you any time along this long road, and would now, if it would help, but I cannot enter that tower, and I do not think I will see you again when you come out, if you do. For something calls to me, and I cannot withstand the pull of it."
"It breaks my heart to hear this, my friend. Can you be sure I will never see you again?"
"I do not know, Sar Enoch. I can only hope we can meet some day. But for now, you must go, and I must stay. Get thee up that tower while your courage lasts, and hold your sword at the ready as you go."
Enoch wished his friend had arms and hands so he could embrace him, and shake his hand, but that was not possible. Instead, he drew his sword and saluted his friend, then sword held high, he walked around the tower, found the open door, and the stairs within, and began to climb them.

New Haven & New England
New Haven is conveniently situated almost directly between New York and Boston.
Whether for a day trip, weekend getaway, or week-long vacation, New Haven is perfectly situated for exploring the state and New England at large. Transportation is one of the city's strengths. New Haven has two train stations, through which Amtrak, Metro-North, and local commuter rails run frequently. The convenience of these stations makes it easy for people to live in New Haven yet commute to other cities for work, or alternatively, to live in a sleepy shoreline town and commute to New Haven. Additionally, Amtrak's Boston to D.C. route, which is the busiest passenger line in the U.S., passes through New Haven several times a day. Students, then, have easy and affordable access to Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and D.C.
Yale has its own shuttle service, which means that students do not need to own cars to get to and from campus. For those who want a quick and cheap way to rent a car, New Haven has partnered with Zipcar to provide by-the-hour access to fuel efficient cars at affordable rates. For driving, New Haven is situated at the juncture of Interstates 95 and 91, and it's therefore extraordinarily easy to head out of town to explore NY and New England
Surrounding the city and suburbs are historic homes, colonial villages, farmlands, wooded nature trails, and beautiful river valleys. Along the shoreline are numerous CT and Rhode Island beaches and wildlife preserves as well as the nationally acclaimed Mystic Seaport and Marinelife Aquarium. CT's Foxwoods Resort and Casino, the largest casino in the world, is within comfortable driving distance, as is the newer Mohegan Sun Casino. Historic Newport is a ninety-minute drive away; and the popular winter resort areas of CT, Massachusetts, New York, and Vermont are all within easy reach. Still within a relatively short driving distance are Boston, Cape Cod, and southern Maine.
In all, the attractions within and around New Haven are both numerous and diverse. Because graduate school can be a long and taxing experience at times, having many outlets at one's doorstep - and being able to afford them! - will prove indispensable.

On April 2, 2014, decorated combat veteran, SPC Ivan Antonio Lopez, went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas resulting in the death of three and wounding of 16. This was the second shooting rampage at Ft. Hood in just over the last four years. The last carnage on Ft. Hood was made by Major Nidal Hasan who killed 14 and wounded 38 soldiers and civilians on November 5, 2009. Shortly thereafter, the gun control addicts in the media (e.g., Chris Cuomo) came out in force.
Needless to say, Republican lawmakers expressed their opinion which generally opposes increased gun control laws. Reminding everyone that those who work and live on military bases are basically "soft targets", Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said, "In the state of Texas, you can get a concealed-handgun license and walk into the state Capitol. And yet on our military bases, we're not allowing our trained combat active-duty officers to carry weapons on base. I guarantee if they had had that ability, they could have stopped this guy almost immediately."
In an attempt to remedy any future shooting spree, Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) introduced H.R. 3199, "The Safe Military Bases Act," a bill which would repeal the existing ban on weapons allowed on military bases. This ban was implemented in 1993 by the U.S. Army with AR 190-14, which limited weapons on base to only law enforcement and security personnel. Contrary to the popular urban legend, President Clinton did not issue the Executive Order that implemented this weapons ban.
Veterans have stepped forward with their comments on the latest shooting incident at Ft. Hood which, at this base alone, now has a combined total between Lopez and Hasan of 18 deaths and 54 wounded military personnel and civilians.
Sgt. Howard Ray (U.S. Army, ret.), who was one of the wounded in the Hasan shooting at Ft. Hood in 2009, stated, "The government hasn't learned anything in five years. They refuse to allow our soldiers to be armed, and so we are seeing this happening again. Our soldiers need to be prepared to defend themselves.'' Ray received the Army Commendation Medal for assisting nine people out of harms way.
On the other hand, Ralph Peters (U.S. Army, ret.), a Fox News consultant, said on the April 3, 2014 edition of Bill O'Reilly's, The O'Reilly Factor, commented, "It's actually nuts" and went on to identify four main points on why allowing weapons on a military base is a bad idea. He concluded with, "You want trained responders who know what they're doing. You don't want any finance clerk at Ft. Hood firing his M-16 in any direction."
David Hunt (U.S. Army, Col. Ret.), also a Fox News contributor, said on the same program, "It's a mental health issue, not a weapons issue. We need more mental health professionals". Then he reminded viewers that 22 veterans and active duty military personnel are killing themselves every day.
With the mention of mental health in conjunction with veterans, there is a natural desire by people to fault all veterans being afflicted with some sort of "disorder" and perhaps considering all combat veterans to be "ticking time bombs". Former Navy Master Chief Petty Officer Joe Campa correctly said, "We run the risk of stigmatizing them to a degree that it creates a backlash against the veteran community. We saw that before (with Vietnam veterans) and we can't let that happen again."
Mike Baker, who served as a marine in Iraq, concurred when he commented, "When you start talking about combat experience they just think you are going to bring that to the office."
Dakota Meyer a former Austin marine veteran and recipient of the Medal of Honor, returned home from Afghanistan and battled post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After the Lopez shooting, he told Fox News, "Going out and shooting your own friends, your own people, that's not PTSD. I don't know what the word is for it. It's close to psychotic."
It's putting a label on all veterans that veterans are psychotic or mentally unstable and they're going to shoot up places. And they're not.
He added, "PTSD does not put you in the mind set to go out and kill innocent people. The media label this shooting PTSD, but if what that man did is PTSD, then I don't have it."
We veterans also caution the public and especially the media about arbitrarily signifying us as "ticking time bombs". Many of us have already dealt with PTSD and absolutely none of us have gone off the deep end and committed an atrocity similar to that done by jihadist terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan or Ivan Lopez.
