The dog did his part, and the couple sounds to be prepared and ready to defend themselves. Plus no one was injured and the dog survived.
Dog Takes Bullet to Save Family - WJW
Dog Takes Bullet to Save Family
Jack Shea Fox 8 Reporter
11:33 PM EST, February 18, 2010
CONNEAUT, Ohio -- A german shepherd named Sirus is credited with saving his family after a terrifying home invasion.
Sirus' owner said he always lets her know when someone shows up at her home outside Conneaut in Ashtabula County.
Michelle Pryor said early Monday morning Sirus began barking so she let him out and was stunned when she heard gunfire outside the home.
Sirus got shot in the chest and on the muzzle between his eyes.
As the dog lain wounded, Michelle hid her baby daughter in a laundry basket and alerted her fiance, who grabbed his gun.
The gunman kicked in the front door of the home, and was confronted by Pryor's fiance.
She said, "He grabbed his gun and just started shooting and they ran."
The veterinarian who treated Sirus was amazed that he survived.
Michelle Pryor believes her dog took bullets that could have been fired at her family.
She told Fox 8 News, "I couldn't believe it, he saved our lives, he's our guardian angel, he saved my baby."
As for a motive for shooting Sirus and breaking into the house, Pryor said she had just cashed a tax refund check and believes she was followed home.
"The economy is bad, people are getting desperate, they know that the sheriff's (deputies) are laid off," Pryor commented.
The intruder fled in a white, four door Buick. Anyone who can help identify the gunman is asked to call the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Department.

Wave your arms in the air if you can't wait for this powerhouse to slay our lives this year? Ariana Grande took to her Twitter on Tuesday (April 15) to make a big announcement: her brand new single is called "Problem."
"That's all I can say for now," the singer teased.
Of course, she can't even give us a bone by doing a countdown or something. Lame. "Very soon," she said, replying to a fan requesting a countdown to new music. "I don't want to announce it until we're 10 days away."
This tidbit follows yesterday's teaser of her collaboration with the often-troubled singer Chris Brown, called "Don't Be Gone Too Long." In the three-minute clip, Brown is alone on stage, dancing his face off. The stage is dark and a single spotlight catches his moves. As a dance anthem, it has us intrigued, for sure.
So, what's Ariana's "Problem"? Any guesses?

Today's Supreme Curt decision Sykes v. U.S. is the fourth recent decision attempting to interpret the clause of the Armed Career Criminal Act that mandates higher sentences for people convicted of 3 or more "violent felonies." The interpretive problem is what constitutes a "violent felony." Today, the court determined that vehicular flight from the police counts as a violent felony even if the conviction didn't involve dangerous or reckless driving. The matchup is unusual — Kennedy joined by the inevitably statist George W. Bush appointees, as well as Breyer, Thomas, and Sotomayor. In dissent, Kagan (joined by Ginsburg) argued that simple vehicular flight shouldn't be considered a violent felony. Scalia, on the other hand, argues that the "violent felony" clause should be struck down as unconstitutionally vague, with sentence enchantments applied only to crimes specifically identified by Congress.
One thing that makes Scalia better than your generic Alito-style contemporary reactionary is that he takes the principle that ambiguities in the criminal law should be interpreted against the state seriously, and his dissent makes several points I agree with in general:
What does violate the Constitution is approving the enforcement of a sentencing statute that does not "give a person of ordinarily intelligence fair notice" of its reach…
We face a Congress that puts forth an ever-increasing volume of laws in general, and of criminal laws in particular. It should be no surprise that as the volume increases, so do the number of imprecise laws. And no surprise that our indulgence of imprecisions that violate the Consti-tution encourages imprecisions that violate the Constitution. Fuzzy, leave-the-details-to-be-sorted-out-by-the-courts legislation is attractive to the Congressman who wants credit for addressing a national problem but does not have the time (or perhaps the votes) to grapple with the nitty-gritty. In the field of criminal law, at least, it is time to call a halt. I do not think it would be a radical step—indeed, I think it would be highly responsible—to limit ACCA to the named violent crimes. Congress can quickly add what it wishes.
The problem Scalia describes is real, but in this particular case I'm not sure that the primary fault lies with Congress. "Violent felonies" isn't a terribly ambiguous term, and creating a laundry list could create problems based on states classifying similar crimes differently. The real problem, I think, arises from the Supreme Court (as it did in this case) straining to classify non-violent felonies as violent felonies. If the Court simply did what it should and hold against the state where the status of a conviction as a violent felony is unclear, I think the statute would be perfectly workable. Since the Court seems unwilling to do so, however, Scalia may be right that the only thing left to do is to send the issue make to Congress and force them to be clearer about what constitutes a violent felony.
So, to recap: The Bush tax cuts were followed by low GDP growth, negative median wage growth, and little job growth. Even before the Great Recession, growth in the Bush business cycle was the weakest since World War II. And the cuts cost about $2.6 trillion between 2001 and 2010, according to the Economic Policy Institute—adding to a debt future generations of taxpayers will pay for, plus interest.
By Bush's own metrics, then, the tax cuts were a failure. But perhaps that is because Bush chose such absurd metrics and made such silly promises about tax cuts' economic omnipotence in the first place.
But don't kid yourself — even more of the same will be great!
(Update by Erik): I really wonder whether, when all is said and done, the Bush Tax Cuts won't be what the Bush Administration is most known for instead of 9/11 and Iraq. They may prove among the most disastrous policies in American history, along with Jefferson's Embargo, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff.
Just for the record, Pawlenty's economic plan is absolutely nuts, and I still say he's the most likely nominee. And what's even scarier is that the plans of subsequent nominees are going to have to accomplish the difficult feat of being even more crazy.
And now we get to the South. Between reelecting their legislators until they die and defending segregation, southern states have played a powerful role in American politics from the beginning of the republic to the present. Georgia is possibly above average compared to the region and certainly two Georgians have played key roles in the last 40 years.
1. Newt Gingrich. One of the 5 most important politicians of the past 20 years and Georgia's most important. The Gingrich-led Republican Revolution revolutionized American politics. Sure, it was for the worse. Many of the terrible problems we face today come from Gingrich and his allies. But that only reinforces his importance.
2. Jimmy Carter. A remarkable figure in so many ways. Carter survived the segregationist era to become the Democratic candidate for president in 1976. His administration wasn't particularly successful (though this had much to do with white backlash and the rise of the New Right, conditions completely out of his control). Along with John Quincy Adams, the most successful and eventful ex-president in American history. Richly deserved his Nobel Peace Prize.
3. Alexander Stephens. Vice-President of the Confederacy. It's hard to imagine Gingrich wouldn't be the most loathsome of the top 3, but in Georgia's case, the competition for most disgusting is very strong.
It's pretty easy to string out a top 10 for Georgia, with some strong candidates left over. Briefly:
4. Tom Watson–the Populist leader started his career as a champion for economic rights and ended it as a race-baiting supporter of the KKK in the U.S. Senate
5. Richard Russell–U.S. Senator from 1933-71, leader of the Senate's segregationist wing.
6. John Lewis–Possibly I'm overstating his role, but given his powerful presence in Congress for many years and his pioneering role as a post-civil rights movement African-American legislator, plus his amazing career in the movement, and it's clear Lewis deserves this spot.
7. Carl Vinson–the first person to serve more than 50 years in the House of Representatives, Vinson was very important in creating American naval policy in the mid-20th century. Of course, he was also a staunch segregationist.
8. Andrew Young–another pioneering African-American politician. Young was a congressman, mayor of Atlanta, and the first African-American U.N. Representative.
9. Herman Talmadge–Another long-serving segregationist leader of the mid-20th century. I swear, it seems like Georgia had 5 senators during these years.
10. Sam Nunn–One of the most powerful Democratic leaders of the late 20th century. Played a major role in defense policy and is still influential today in retirement.
It's too bad Kristol is wrong about everything, because we could really use the lulz. There's something special about a candidate whose popularity has an almost perfectly inverse relationship with the amount of time he spends campaigning in a given state.
My recent comments notwithstanding, it should go without saying that my endorsement is most definitely for sale. I, and indeed most of the other contributors to LGM, will happily shill for whatever you happen to be selling, provided you meet our very reasonable prices. Of course, pricing depends on profile of contributor (Lemieux and I require top dollar, the rest of the band rather less), subject matter (Campos demands extra for weight loss product endorsements, and Noon's coveted recommendation of anti-vax literature costs a pretty penny), nature of endorsement (if you want djw to actually use your hair product, or Loomis to use your hair loss product, you've got to be willing to open the wallet). Kaufman and Brockington are also available in the unlikely event that you can think of something that you'd want to have either of them endorse.
Stephanie Mencimer reminds us that there are issues that are even more important — even scandalous! — than Anthony Weiner's highly consequential penis. It's the 10th Anniversary of the Bush tax cuts:
Big debt: Between 2001 and 2010, the Bush tax cuts added $2.6 trillion to the public debt, 50 percent of the total debt accrued during that time. Over the past 10 years, the country has spent more than $400 billion just servicing the debt created by the cuts.
Supply-side failure: Far from paying for themselves with increased economic activity as promised, the tax cuts have depleted the public treasury. Tax collections have plunged to their lowest share of the economy in 60 years.
No jobs: Between 2002 and 2007, employment increased by less than 1 percent when the economy was supposed to be expanding. Employment growth barely kept pace with population growth. Between the end of 2001, when the country was in a recession, and the peak of the real estate bubble, er, economic expansion in 2007, the US economy performed worse than at any time since the end of World War II.
Rich people benefit: The best-known result of the Bush tax cuts is that virtually all the benefits were conferred upon people who didn't need them at all and who didn't use the money to, say, create more jobs or pay their workers better. Median weekly earnings fell more than 2 percent between 2001 and 2007. Meanwhile, people making over $3 million a year, who account for just 0.1 percent of taxpayers, got an average tax cut of $520,000, more than 450 times what the average middle-income family received.
Make sure to read all of the grim details.
But the 2000 campaign, Gush v. Bore, Gap v. Banana Republic, amirite? I demand more investigation into Al Gore's highly troubling three-button suits!
Greenwald is definitive:
Yes, Anthony Weiner lied — about something that is absolutely nobody's business but his and his wife's. If you're not his wife, you have absolutely no legitimate reason to want to know about — let alone pass judgment on — what he does in his private sexual life with other consenting adults. Particularly repellent is the pretense of speaking out on behalf of his wife, as though anyone knows what her perspectives on such matters are or what their relationship entails. The only reason to want to wallow in the details of Anthony Weiner's sex life is because of the voyeuristic titillation it provides: a deeply repressed culture celebrates when it finds cause to be able to talk about penises and naked pictures and oral sex while hiding behind some noble pretext. On some level, I find the behavior of the obviously loathsome Andrew Breitbart preferable; at least he's honest about his motive: he hates Democrats and liberals and wants sadistically to destroy them however he can. It's the empty, barren, purse-lipped busybodies who cannot stay out of other adults' private and sexual lives — while pretending to be elevated — that are the truly odious villains here.
He also points us to McArdle, who in the latest example of the death of conservertarianism believes that it's the job of the mass media to act as the marriage police. It's also one of the best examples of paternalism-under-the-cloak-of-feminism since Muller v. Oregon, and as for her apparent assumption that the prurience-is-its-own-justification standard will only be applied to powerful men, ask Christine O'Donnell.
Apparently, the team that signs Joba Chamberlain's paychecks is upset that a player of actual accomplishment is too demonstrative.
A couple of weeks ago, Mackenzie Eaglen and Bryan McGrath published "A Day Without Seapower," a nightmare scenario in which Barack Obama breaks the coffee machine at the Heritage Foundation, among other depredations. I take some issue with elements of their case:
The most recent entry into this genre also comes courtesy of the Heritage Foundation, with an assist from the Weekly Standard. Mackenzie Eaglen and Bryan McGrath have penned an essay arguing that the United States needs to strengthen its commitment to seapower in order to maintain not only its global influence, but also the modern global economic system. Detailed at length in a Heritage Foundation report and in a briefer version at the Weekly Standard, Eaglen and McGrath's nightmare scenario depicts the United States circa 2025 as a broken country, friendless and at the mercy of a nefarious coalition made up of China, Russia, India, Korea, Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine and Syria. Not pretty and altogether alarming. But before we beg the authors to save us, we might want to consider whether the wool is being pulled over our eyes. How does this dreadful state of affairs come about?
Two additional thoughts:
New Jersey has had a somewhat weak group of national politicians throughout its history with an obvious choice for the top. I suspect a lot of this is getting overshadowed by New York and Pennsylvania. That the Frelinghuysen family has dominated New Jersey politics from its early days, a family that has long aspired to mediocrity in office, has certainly not helped.
This list is so weak, I feel like I must have missed some people. But I don't think so. If I have, I'm sure you all will let me know in comments.
1. Woodrow Wilson. A native of Virginia, but his political career was in New Jersey. Certainly one of the most important presidents in U.S. history, though one I also find pretty unlikable.
2. William Paterson. Key player in the Constitutional Convention, 2nd governor of New Jersey, early Supreme Court justice. Put the hammer down on the leaders of the Whiskey Rebellion while a Justice.
3. George McClellan. We usually think of McClellan as a failed general, and indeed he was. But he was also the Democratic candidate for president in 1864 and later governor of New Jersey from 1878-81. His big post-war political ambition was to be Grover Cleveland's Secretary of State, but he failed to get the position.
Paterson and McClellan are fairly lame 2 and 3 choices for the 3rd oldest state, but the other possibilities are also pretty underwhelming.
Frederick Frelinghuysen–Chester Arthur's Secretary of State, senator, general Republican hack who helped decide the disputed 1876 election.
William Pennington–Governor of New Jersey in the 1830s and 40s, later elected to the House of Representatives where he served as Speaker of the House in 1860 and early 1861. He also once turned down the chance to be governor of Minnesota Territory. Pretty hot stuff.
John Griggs–Governor. William McKinley tapped him to be Attorney General in 1898, where he served until 1901.
Thomas Kean–Like many other long-time New Jersey politicians, solid and remarkably unspectacular. Governor of the state from 1982-90, most known for his service on the 9/11 Commission. That alone separates him from the pack of mediocrity known as New Jersey.
Bill Bradley–Senator from 1979-97. Launched a particularly lame campaign for the Democratic nomination for the presidency in 2000. Mostly I found him to be an annoying blowhard. He seems like the kind of Democrat who would be on Fox News, but he seems to avoid the spotlight these days. Which I find in his favor.

Here's Barney with a circa 1986 shot up near his zone in Santa Cruz. Barney's a legend. One of the funniest people I've ever met.
I used to shoot HB a lot. I don't know what happened. This day was super fun with little wedges popping up everywhere on the shorebreak. Brogie Panesi with a rad punt for a little guy.
Here's Chase Wilson up in LA. This day was so fun. Or at least for me. I guess you'd call it work for everyone else pulling into closeouts.
This wave of Conor Beatty in LA was so sick. The thing just grew and grew. He traveled for quite a while. Definitely the wave of the day.
Here's Dillon again up near his house kind of. This session was so fun. It was a good start to our road trip.
Dillon Perillo with a little fin blast up in NorCal. This day was so fun. It felt like a warm summer day. Not a drop of wind, no one else out and cold beers. Sign me up.
Here's Mitch Coleborn in Newport. We had just stepped off a plane from scoring in Brazil. You'd think we'd be over shooting Newps. Maybe the jetlag had something to do with it.

We don't know what all the label says on these nifty Komenuka Bijin Cleansing Powder Packets ($38 for 30 packets) since we don't speak Japanese (or is it Chinese?), but the results speak for themselves. Each little packet contains rice bran, aloe, seaweed, and coconut oil to gently exfoliate and cleanse the skin and leave a fresh, dewy finish. Toss one in your gym bag to refresh yourself after Pilates, or a few in your carryon before your next trip.
It's Japanese. Japanese also uses Chinese characters, called Kanji.
Like Kristy said, it's Japanese. Instead of "covering your bases" by asking "or is it Chinese?" just do a little research next time before publishing your post.

American's Sara Rishell
Nov. 30, 2011
By Dan Kauffman
Two-time Herald-Mail Washington County Volleyball Player of the Year Sara Rishell wasted little time making an impact at American University.
Thrust into a starting spot as a freshman on the Eagles' extremely young squad, Rishell made the most of her opportunity. She led American in kills per game (3.15), blocks per game (1.03) and hitting percentage (.317) to be named the Patriot League Rookie and Player of the Year.
"It was a great season," Rishell said. "I couldn't hope for anything more."
Anything except a successful run in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. American (23-10), which won the Patriot League tournament for the 10th time in 11 years, will face Delaware (20-12) in the first round on Friday at 7 p.m. at Penn State. The winner will likely face the Nittany Lions in the second round Saturday.

Sky's Charlie Thomas on how an India defeat in the test series against England could hurt the popularity of the five-day game.
20:43, UK, Wednesday 12 December 2012
If England go on to win the Test series in India over the next few days, it will be as great an achievement as winning the Ashes in Australia two winters ago.
Alastair Cook and co will be able to enjoy their Christmas knowing they are back on track as a force in the longer form of the game.
Next year they can look forward to trying to get back their number one Test status from South Africa.
Victory, however, may have another unintended and disturbing consequence.
Two summers ago India came to England as World Cup winners ready to challenge for the world number one Test spot as well.
India's position as the dominant nation of the sport, both on and off the field, seemed assured.
How things have changed; they're currently fifth, three places below England, and in a state of turmoil.
Crowds during this series have been poor; if their team continues its downward spiral, they may desert the five-day game completely.
And if that happens, Test cricket really will be in a critical condition.
Too apocalyptic a vision? Well, consider this.
I covered two England tours of the West Indies for Sky in the 1990s, and every Test match was packed to the rafters (they were both five Test series, ICC take note).
The atmosphere was electric, imbued with that uniquely Caribbean flavour of exuberance and deep knowledge of the game.
Fast forward to today and you could be forgiven for mistaking a test in the West Indies for a county game.
You can almost see the tumbleweed drifting across the grounds.
This has coincided precisely with the decline of the West Indies as a force in the five-day game. The transformation has taken little more than a decade.
The same couldn't possibly happen in India, could it?
The evidence suggests that it already is, with that former hotbed of support Eden Gardens in Kolkata no more than half full last week.
India has a population of 1.1 billion, and huge numbers of young boys still turn out every day to play on the maidans and street corners of the big cities.
But for many of them now it is Twenty20 cricket they are dreaming of playing. The IPL holds sway.
Unless their test team gets its act together soon, this trend could become ingrained.
And if India falls out of love with Test cricket, only England and Australia will remain as countries still able to attract spectators to Tests on a regular basis.
So, the powers that be in India, and by extension, the ICC need to ask themselves one simple question: how much do they value the premier form of the game?
We need the answer soon - before it is too late.

NBC is reviving its late '70's classic 'Ironside' with actor Blair Underwood, and AOL is giving you an exclusive peak at the first episode right here!
The series follows Det. Ironside, a brash cop who loses the ability to walk after being shot in the back during a perp chase. After months of rigorous training, the officer is back on the streets, chasing baddies like any able-bodied policeman.
Ironside's first case back in the field takes him through the grim, seedy underworld of hedge fund "flower parties," investigating the murder of a young investment banker.
Actor Pablo Schreiber stars as Virgil, the detective's off-the-hinges partner. Many of you may recognize him as Pornstache' from Netflix's mega hit 'Orange Is the New Black.' Brent Sexton, Spencer Grammer, Neal Bledsoe and Kenneth Choi make up the rest of Ironside's dynamite team.
Check out the exclusive shots below from the upcoming premiere of 'Ironside,' airing Oct. 2 on NBC.

Sandy River Reservoir
Sandy River Reservoir is a 740-acre water supply impoundment located slightly east of the town of Farmville in Prince Edward County. Sandy River Reservoir is one of the newest lakes in Virginia with construction completed in 1994 and fishing opened in 1996. The reservoir was built and is owned by the county of Prince Edward with fisheries management responsibilities belonging to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries.
Sandy River Reservoir is a beautiful resource located in the rolling hills of the piedmont in south-central Virginia. Two large areas of standing timber were left in the lake at construction to provide fish habitat structure. To supplement existing fish habitat in the reservoir, department personnel and the county have placed used Christmas trees and hinge shoreline trees to provide additional spots for anglers to concentrate their fishing effort.
This reservoir boasts one of the best sportfish assemblages in the piedmont. The lake supports excellent fisheries for largemouth bass, black crappie, redear sunfish, and an ever-improving channel catfish fishery. Other species to note include bluegill and chain pickerel.
You can try your luck at Sandy River Reservoir by traveling east on 460 from Farmville and turning south on Route 640. Take the first left after turning on Route 640 and follow this road straight to the boat ramp.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Mitt Romney is hitting back at Russia's president and saying that President Barack Obama is trying to "ingratiate himself with the Kremlin."
Those comments come after Russian President Dmitri Medvedev suggested that the Republican presidential front-runner is living in a bygone era. He was responding to Romney calling Russia America's "No. 1 geopolitical foe."
In an opinion piece on the website of the magazine Foreign Policy, Romney says that the Russians clearly prefer to do business with, in his words, "the current incumbent of the White House."
The article represents an escalation of Romney's attacks on Obama after a private remark to Medvedev was caught on tape. Obama told Medvedev that he needed "space" to deal with missile defense issues because he would have more "flexibility" after the fall elections.

Recapping Last Week
Bruins Win Both Matches In First Home Weekend - The Bruins used the friendly confines of Pauley Pavilion to post a pair of Pac- 10 Conference victories in their first home action of the season.
9/25 - Won 3-1 (15-9, 15-8, 8-15, 15-7) over Oregon The home debut of UCLA's stellar rookie class, saw four freshman starters help lead the Bruins to an important Pac-10 victory over the Ducks. Kristee Porter drilled 22 kills to register her third consecutive 20-plus outing, while classmate Ashley Bowles notched her fourth straight double-figure outing with 13 kills. Blocking was also a key element in the victory as UCLA totaled 16.5 team blocks as sophomore Elisabeth Bachman notched a career-high nine blocks and also improved her career-best with nine digs and added nine kills. Freshman Lauren Hogan earned her first collegiate start and registered a career-best six block assists, while setter Erika Selsor tallied 53 assists. Oregon's Madeline Ernst led all hitters with 26 kills and added four blocks to lead the Ducks.
9/27 - Won 3-1 (15-11, 1 5-9, 13-15, 15-9) over Oregon State The Bruins made it a great opening weekend by posting their second consecutive four-game win, this time over Oregon State. Kristee Porter again led the attack as she drilled a match-high 27 kills to notch her fourth straight 20-plus outing and hit .327 in the match. Fellow rookie Ashley Bowles led the Bruin hitters with a .381 attack percentage as she drilled 19 kills and notched her third double-double with a match-high 13 digs. Elisabeth Bachman recorded her fourth double-figure outing as she put away 12 kills and also registered a match-high seven blocks. Rookie setter Erika Selsor set the Bruins to a .287 team attack percentage while providing 55 assists. Three Oregon State players also reached double digits as freshman Gina Schmidt notched a career-best 19 kills and team- best 11 digs.

USC "Women of Troy"
Current Ranking: No. 8 AVCA/USA Today, No. 13 Volleyball mag 1998 Record: 7-3 Overall; 3-1 Pac-10
Series History: UCLA leads the series 47-33 (date back to 1970). Most Recent: The Bruins dropped both matches in 1997, losing 2-3 at Pauley Pavilion and 0-3 at USC. The Women of Troy have won four of the last six meetings, with UCLA's last win coming at USC in 1996. However, since 1988, UCLA has won 16 of the last 20 meetings.
Notable: UCLA owns a 16-10 advantage when playing across town on USC's home court.
UCLA-USC History: In the all-time series meetings between UCLA and USC, the match has gone five-games 20 times and 4-games 15 times. Only 19 of the matches have resulted in 3-game sweeps, and UCLA owns a 16-3 advantage in those matches.
Rookie Report - One half of the 18-player UCLA roster is made up of freshman, including the second-ranked recruiting class in the nation. Seven rookies have already seen action and five have earned starts, including three mainstays (Erika Selsor, Ashley Bowles and Kristee Porter) who have played every game. As the starting setter, Selsor has not missed a rotation and is averaging 12.51 assists per game. Porter leads the team with 159 kills and ranks fifth in the conference with a 4.30 per game average. Bowles is right behind Porter with 145 total kills and a 3.92 per game average (10th in the Pac-10) and leads the team with 90 digs and a 2.43 per game average.
Angela Eckmier has seen considerable action (23 of 37 games) and earned the starting nod in Chicago. Lauren Hogan started both home matches. Taylor Rodger and Danielle Ryba have also seen action.
Double Dips - The hottest player on the court, freshman Kristee Porter has notched 20-plus kills in the last four matches and has reached double-figures in six consecutive. Porter also notched her third double-double at Stanford falling just shy of the prestigious 20-20 club with 29 kills and 18 digs. Fellow rookie Ashley Bowles was the first Bruin to register double figures in kills this season when she notched 21 against Ohio State. Bowles has also posted double figure kills in the last six matches, including her second 20-plus outing against Stanford, and has a total of seven double-dips thus far. Adding her third double-double (kills and digs) in the most recent match, Bowles also came close to the 20-20 club with 20 kills and 18 digs against Stanford. Sophomore Elisabeth Bachman has reached double figures in kills in four of the last five matches, bringing her career total in this category to 15. She fell just shy of a triple-double vs. Oregon when she registered nines in kills, digs and blocks.
Senior defensive specialist Mandi Lawson has reached double-figures in digs for the first two times in her Bruin career this season. Fellow specialist, sophomore Michelle Quon has tied her career-high with 10 digs on five occasions this season. Setter Erika Selsor also notched a double-figure dig match with 11 at Stanford. Rookie Angela Eckmier notched her career-high 12 digs at Santa Clara.
Building Blocks - Sophomore Elisabeth Bachman has had a hand on at least seven kills in each of the last five matches, including a new career-high nine (two solo, seven assisted) vs. Oregon. Bachman is currently ranked fourth in the Pac-10 Conference with an overall blocking average of 1.49. She is averaging 2.00 blocks per game in Pac-10 matches. Seven of her team-high 11 solo blocks have come during conference matches.
Power Surge For Pac-10 - Rookie Kristee Porter owns a .308 hitting percentage during Pac-10 matches (the last four matches played). Porter has drilled 102 of her total 159 kills during conference play. Her average is also higher in digs during league action as she boasts a 2.88 Pac-10 digs per game average, compared to a 2.11 overall digs average. In addition, Porter has registered nearly half of her blocks during conference play with 12 of a total 25 coming against Pac-10 foes.
Elite Performance - Rookie setter Erika Selsor became only the seventh player and third freshman in UCLA history to notch 70-plus assists in a single match when she tallied 70 at Stanford on Sunday, Sept. 20. The fact that this was a four-game match makes it even more rare as that has only happened six times in the total of 22 matches with 70-plus assists by a Bruin setter.
Coach Banachowski - A great teacher of the game, UCLA head coach Andy Banachowski achieved one of the highest honors possible when he became the first women's volleyball coach to be inducted into the national Volleyball Hall of Fame as a coach last year. Now in his 32nd season guiding the Bruins, Banachowski is not only the owner of more victories than any other NCAA Division I women's coach, but also mentor to numerous individual success stories during and after college. He has led the Bruins to six national championships, top-four national finishes in 20 of the last 27 years and compiled 30 or more victories in seven of the last 10 seasons.
Bruin Honors: Bowles Named All-Tournament in Hawaii - Earning All-Tournament honors in her first collegiate tournament, freshman Ashley Bowles (Manhattan Beach, Mira Costa High) is already establishing herself as a force in the UCLA lineup and in the nation. Bowles was impressive in each outing during the weekend, and posted her best numbers (21 kills, .395, 9 digs) in UCLA's 2-3 loss to Ohio State. She hit .299 and totaled 39 kills for a team- high 3.55 kills per game and added 19 digs over the weekend en route to the honor.
Brief Bruin Overview - This year's theme of "Winning Hand In Hand" builds on the foundation of excellence which is second to none. The UCLA women's volleyball program is joining hands in a quest to bring home its seventh national title. The 1998 Bruins combine nine newcomers, including the second ranked recruiting class in the nation, with nine returners, including a pair of redshirts from last year. This year's squad is extremely young with six sophomores, one junior and only two seniors. Three freshman received the starting nod in the season opener at Hawaii and six have already made significant contributions. Captains for the season are senior Chaska Potter and sophomore Elisabeth Bachman.

Lindsay Lohan Arrested In New York
Lindsay Lohan was arrested in New York this morning for allegedly clipping a pedestrian with her car. According to TMZ.com, Lindsay - who is currently on probation for stealing jewellery from a store in January 2011 - was taken into police custody in New York early this morning.
The site claims that the 26-year-old was driving her Porsche Cayenne near her hotel when she allegedly hit the knee of a man in his 30s. One of Lindsay's passengers got out and checked her car for damage, then the group went into the hotel, where the police were called. She was booked for the misdemeanour offence of leaving the scene of an accident and released with a ticket, which meant she didn't have to pay bail before being released. The man had no visible injuries, but was still taken to hospital.
Lindsay is currently filming scenes for the TV biopic 'Liz and Dick', in which she plays screen legend Elizabeth Taylor. We'll bring you more news and and when we have it… RM

BARBERTON — The Buckeye Classic, a 2011 Softball Players Association national qualifier, will feature big-time competition in a small-town atmosphere.
The senior tournament is expected to draw 80 teams, up from 24 two years ago and 54 in 2010. The event will be held at the Barberton Sports Complex, with the SPA tournament slated for June 11-12 and the 50-and-over and 55-and-over divisions playing from June 14-18.
"SPA is known for having great senior tournaments and being a player-friendly organization," co-tournament director Ho Hoffman said. "We also do a lot of promotion with e-mails, phone calls, Christmas cards and such to keep the Buckeye Classic fresh in teams' minds. That really helps."
Hoffman and co-director Red Bole agree the Barberton Sports Complex has played a huge role in the event's success.
"These aren't family reunion softball players," Bole said. "They travel across the country to California, Arizona, Florida, Carolina, Texas and a lot of other states.
"I have played at hundreds of softball complexes, and the majority of (players) rate the Barberton Sports Complex and the grounds crew as among the top 10 in the country."
This year the tournament has added Rittman's Martin Fritz Memorial Park, Wadsworth's Memorial Field and Akron's Cascade Park to the schedule.
Teams are coming from 15 states and Canada. There are divisions ranging from 50-and-over to 75-and-over, with more than 2,000 players expected to participate.
"If we were not limited by our playing field availability, I expect we could probably hit 100 teams," Bole said. "We have had to turn teams away in the 75s, 70s, 65s and 60s."
SPA is one of the largest senior softball organizations in the United States, with more than 500 registered teams and nearly 18,000 players.
The organization, located in Mustang, Okla., sponsors more than 50 tournaments each year, with only the SPA Nationals in Dalton, Ga., outdrawing the Buckeye Classic.

This is a compilation of my freehand pencil drawings. The drawings are based on sci-fi and fantasy
Robert Beltran was born on October 31st 1965 in Castro Valley Ca. I have been illustrating ever since I could hold a pencil, I would watch cartoons, sci-fi movies and read comics. Then I would draw them in my own unique way.Growing up in the bay area in my teen years I learned how to do murals and being a Mexican-American, I would do a lot of Chicano art. My heart though longed for sci and comics, loved that genre so much that I just started doing sci-fi fantasy. Years later I went to school and took my art to the next level. I have been drawing for over 30 years now, you would think that I would've grown up, but I still have the little kid in that loves all those great genres, Lord of the Rings, Batman and even Saturday morning cartoons. I love the fact that I can share my artwork with the world now!! Today I am a freelance graphic artist and work in different fields, I love what I do and have a passion for art.

It's hot outside here in Austin, and the pollen count is making me sneeze. I received a check from one of my many business ventures, but I really don't want to have to go outside and brave the elements and walk all the way over to my bank branch to deposit it.
And luckily for me, I don't have to. Not since USAA's Deposit@Home Program came along.
Just take your iPhone and log into your USAA app. Then take a picture of your check on your phone, and press submit. And right after you press submit, the funds from that check are instantly in your checking account.
Just like that. No muss, no fuss. No more long lines at the bank. No more getting to the bank only to see it's closed. Where has this program been all my life?
If you don't have a smartphone, the Deposit@Home program can also be downloaded onto your computer and used with a document scanner.
As long as you or a family member is in some way connected to the military, you too can be one of the lucky ones to get a USAA account. Take advantage of this amazing program.
There is a slight catch to the program, though. In order to get access to it, you have to either sign up for a USAA credit card or apply for their auto insurance. But once you get it, your life will change forever.
Now it's not only the HEB grocery store that immediately gets funds when checks are run through their systems. You too get your funds immediately with any checks that come your way!
This is the future of banking, and maybe one day all the banks will offer a program like this. But for now, enjoy the power on your iPhone to get instant funds with USAA's Deposit@Home program!

Just in time for the highly-anticipated release of her latest book in the Vampire Chronicles, author Anne Rice will be making an appearance at next month's Toronto Book Fair.
The Inspire! Toronto International Book Fair will be hosting a number of high-profile authors, with Anne appearing on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 12:00 p.m. on the INSPIRE! Main Stage.
Rice will be there to promote Prince Lestat, the latest book in her highly-popular and award-winning Vampire Chronicles series. Picking up where The Vampire Lestat left off more than a quarter of a century ago, Prince Lestat details the rousing of Old vampires who fall under the spell of a Voice commanding that they indiscriminately burn vampire-mavericks in cities from Paris and Mumbai to Hong Kong, Kyoto, and San Francisco.
The publisher has decided not to offer advanced reviewer copies, and Anne herself feels that's a good idea.
"Though I do love giving early copies to people, I think the publisher is wise," the author posted to fans on her Facebook page. "Do we really want a very few people weighing in on the story before others can read it and make up their own minds?"
In an extensive interview with Collider.Com at ComicCon, Anne revealed that old favorites like Louis and Armand make appearances in the book, which includes locales such as New York, France, Turkey, Tokyo and Egypt.
The book will be released just in time for Halloween on October 28, so book lovers will surely be buzzing when the author joins them at Inspire!
General Admission tickets to the event are available starting at $10 and will allow entrants in for all events from Friday, November 14 to Sunday, November 16.
For more information on the fair and to purchase your tickets, head to http://www.torontobookfair.ca/

Abandoned places, ruins, urban decay.. All around us and yet almost invisible. Usually scary in sight and in thought. They are places that used to be full of life.
Hotels, military camps, factories, deserted homes, hospitals, offices and many other buildings that lie abandoned, waiting to be explored..
Waiting and keeping their secrets.
Inside such places one can taste the dust of time and feel old habitants passing by..

A man in Ohio has been sent to jail for thirteen years because he tried to force his girlfriend, at gunpoint, to continue with a scheduled abortion after she changed her mind. The charges against him are not only because of the gun and the abduction, but significantly, for the attempted murder of the child.
Under Ohio's 1996 fetal homicide law, a person can be found guilty of murder for killing an unborn child.
In this case the child's father led the mother at gunpoint to the abortion clinic, but once there, she passed a note to the clinic personnel about the fact that she was being forced, and they called the police.
She has since given birth to a healthy child.

I love this image. I also like the wallpapered frames on either side of the fireplace. So much so that I'm trying to convince my mum to do something similar at her place.
I've mentioned this photograph and your blog on mine: http://ishandchi.blogspot.com/2009/02/wallpaper-as-art.html
Keep posting. I enjoy reading your blog.

While speaking at the far-left wing Netroots Nation conference, Rev. William Barber II, a board member of the NAACP and president of the North Carolina state NAACP, said he was sick of conservatives using "freedom" as the basis for their policy positions, Red Alert Politics reported Sunday.
"We need to recover the first moral principle of our constitution. It's not freedom," he said in a speech lasting more than an hour. "The first moral principle of the constitution is the establishment of justice."
"I get so bothered every time politicians run for office" citing "freedom," he added. Barber offered a laundry list of issues he claims politicians, presumably Republican, oppose because of "freedom."
"Just 'freedom, freedom, freedom,'" he added, failing to name names. "They haven't even read their own Constitution."
Ironically, Barber's own organization, the NAACP, has blocked blacked conservatives from speaking at its conventions. As we reported earlier Monday, black representatives of FreedomWorks were met with open hostility at this year's convention.
Barber is no stranger to controversy. In April 2013, he was led away in handcuffs after blocking the doors to the North Carolina state Senate, sparking what has been called "Moral Monday" protests. According to Mother Jones, over 900 have been arrested in the last year and the progressive protest movement has spread to other states like Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
Barber also opposes laws designed to prevent voter fraud. In 2013, he accused Republicans of crucifying voter rights by requiring ID at polling places and reducing the number of early voting days. In April, we reported that evidence of massive voter fraud was uncovered in the state.
Netroots Nation said Barber's speech "set the tone" for the rest of the conference, Ashley Dobson said.
"If that's the case," she added, "I'm not sure I could have stomached what followed." Video of Barber's comments can be seen above.

Moving Pianos Upstairs
The following pages are intended as notes and check lists for moving pianos upstairs, and should not be construed as a recommendation that the inexperienced or DIY mover attempt these piano moving manoeuvres. There are obvious dangers to property and even life, and certain equipment will be needed. Pianos vary greatly in weight, and the less working room there is, the more the weight increases in significance.
If you have very wide, straight stairs, or outside steps, and room to work, then a man on each corner of the piano will be the easiest configuration. If the piano is light enough 2 men may suffice.... but more usually a strong man at the top and two at the bottom may be required.
Before a project to move an upright piano upstairs is begun, an evaluation needs to be carried out to determine if the piano will in fact fit around any turns on or at the top or bottom of the stairs. The conclusion that it will should not be lightly arrived at.
Professional movers often use cranes and remove windows, or reject unfeasible projects. A stair manoeuvre may require the building of a platform to extend working room or the use of a block and chain together with its supports.
Minimum Equipment required to run a piano up difficult stairs manually: Heavy plastic sheet, blankets or pads, strapping including a ratchet strap certified to two tonnes, screw drivers, two wooden blocks around twelve inches long by three inches square.
Basics: The piano can and will be turned onto it's side to negotiate tight turns.
If the piano is to be turned on its side, that side will need protecting from bumps and scratches.
It is the back of the piano that leads the turn: If the stairs turn left, the piano's back should face left. Counter intuitively perhaps, the key board side does not usually lead the turn, unless there is a tighter turn going the other way further up.
See also: Preparing for moving pianos upstairs
Moving Pianos Upstairs:- The Manoeuvre.
Two big men may suffice, but really three men is often advised for safety and extra input. Beware of stairs using wedge shaped steps which are especially hazardous. These instructions assume at least a small landing area on the turn.
With the piano prepared, Move the piano to the base of the stairs. If the stairs turn to the left, the back of the piano should be on the left. The keyboard side never leads the turn. The piano may need to be on its side with the base pointing upwards the stairs.
1) With a strong man standing a few steps up, turn the piano over right ways up so he can catch it in his lap, in preparation for walking up the stairs backwards. his 2 other assistants can then pick up the other end and start the lift. The man at the top cannot pull the piano up... his job is to keep the piano in the air.
2) As soon as all the piano is on the stairs one man at the bottom needs to get underneath, positioned like a runner at the start of a race. With shoulders and hands contacting the piano, he uses his legs to push up, one step at a time. Each step will be a potential resting place for repositioning yourselves.
3) Communicate with each other calling..."ready... one more step...ready...one more step."
4) When the top man gets to the landing, two things can happen.
a) He can if there is room simply ignore it, turn and take one more step up the next flight.
b) However it is more likely the piano will have to be upended to make the turn, so the top man, moves the piano from his lap to above his shoulders, like a weight lifter. He is assisted in this by the bottom man pushing up... and then in to push the bottom side of the piano onto the landing. It is time for a rest. The third man has added extra leverage, but has had a valuable safety function, looking out for any danger of the piano tipping over back down the stairs.
5) The process is now repeated for the next leg and so on noting that the use of a wooden block under the side of the upturned piano could assist you to get fingers under it to raise it onto the first step.
It cannot be stressed enough how dangerous moving pianos upstairs can be, and how the inexperienced should not attempt this... By the time you have assembled the necessary equipment you will have been better off employing a professional mover.

The Mississippi River flooding of 2011 caused $2.8 billion in damage and tested the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' system of levees, reservoirs and floodways like never before, exposing vulnerabilities that need attention, a report released Monday said. The report from the corps said the flood hit 119 counties in the lower Mississippi River states of Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee. More than 21,000 homes and businesses and 1.2 million acres of agricultural land were affected, and more than 43,000 people felt some effects. The Mississippi River and Tributaries system operated as it was designed and was mostly successful in fighting the flood along most of the nation's most important inland waterway, the corps said. However, the spring floods exposed vulnerabilities in many parts of the system and the plans used to operate them. The report said there is room for improvement in nearly all areas. "The magnitude of the event tested the system and its individual components like no flood before it," the report said. Nearly all of the levee or floodwall systems experienced some damage. The floodways at Birds Point-New Madrid in Illinois, and the Morganza Floodway and Bonnet Carre Spillway in Louisiana were opened to relieve the stress on the system, marking the first time that three floodways had been operated during a single flood, the report said.

College Hockey:Guelph Bounces Back to Down Canisius, 5-4, in Exhibition
Ice Griffs' Bisson Scores Two Goals
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Mike Depitrillo scored the game-winner at with 4:46 left in the third period Saturday as Guelph defeated Canisius 5-4 in a see-saw exhibition game at the Buffalo State Sports Arena.
Guelph jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first 10 minutes of the first period on goals by Chad Schwartzentrubber and Jon Abbott. The Ice Griffs were able to pull even by the end of the second period as Canisius scored three goals to tie the game at 3-3. Canisius received two goals from senior forward Todd Bisson and another by junior forward Jarrett Zielinski.
"We played hard and were able to get a good amount of ice time for some of our players who will see significant action throughout the season," Canisius coach Brian Cavanaugh said. "These exhibition contests give us an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and try to stay healthy for the regular season. I was impressed with the ability of our players to bounce back after the first 10 minutes of the game."
Canisius took the 4-3 lead on a power-play goal by junior forward Jeff Street that slipped past Guelph goalie Frank Doyle to give Canisius its first lead of the game at the 11:44 mark of the third period. The Gryphons bounced right back as Geoff Faulkner scored from the left slot two minutes later to tie the score at 4-4.
"Guelph was a solid opponent for us to open against," Cavanaugh said. "They are comparable to a Quinnipiac and Mercyhurst type of opponent from the MAAC. It gives us a good visual of the upcoming season."
Sophomore forwards Marc Bouffard and Paul DiPasquale and freshman defenseman Daryl Pierce each tallied two assists for the Ice Griffs.
Canisius heads on the road to Waterloo, Ontario, to compete in the 2000 Oktoberfest Invitational this weekend. The Ice Griffs face off against Western Ontario on Friday afternoon at 4:30 p.m. at the Columbia Icefield on the campus of the University of Waterloo.

After three consecutive cruises with 10 to 20 percent of passengers falling ill, Celebrity Mercury may have finally kicked its Noro habit. Only six out of 1,066 passengers onboard have reported symptoms of gastrointestinal illness on this week's sailing, according to a spokeswoman for the line.
The ship ended its previous cruise one day early and departed on its current sailing two days late in order to give the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control (CDC) nearly four full days to oversee a thorough cleansing of the ship. Passengers were even given the option to cancel and rebook their cruise if they were worried about getting sick.
Though tummy troubles are never minor for those experiencing them, it's important to note that six is a small number in the grand scheme of things. For perspective, cruise lines are required to alert the CDC when 2 percent or more of passengers or crew have reported symptoms; Mercury's current cases account for only half a percent and do not have to be reported, as this number is too low to indicate a shipwide outbreak. Furthermore, we generally don't report outbreaks in Cruise Critic News until they reach the 10 percent mark, otherwise we'd be writing about Norovirus all the time -- after all, it is the second most common illness next to the common cold.
To find out more about what Celebrity Mercury crewmembers are doing to prevent future outbreaks, as well as the enhanced cleaning procedures the ship underwent, read our Q&A with Celebrity president Dan Hanrahan. For more information about Norovirus, the typical culprit behind gastrointestinal illnesses not just on cruise ships but anywhere people share close quarters (dorms, hospitals, schools), see our article on Norovirus - What You Need to Know.

Windermere Cup Regatta
Saturday, May 7, 2005
Montlake Cut; Seattle, Wash.
Stephen Hertzfeld
Coxswain, Washington men's varsity eight
"We were ahead from stroke one. We had just a small advantage at the start. We rowed pretty well at the start. We settled down into our rhythm and just consistently walked away in the first 1,000. We took one seat at a time. We never really had a big move where we just took a whole lot. Everybody definitely got really exciting coming into The Cut. We have six seniors in the boat, so the last trip through the cut was really special. It's the last home race for all of us.
"This is the first time I have been in the varsity in four years. It's exciting to be here. The guys put together a good race. We did what we needed to, keeping our heads focusing on us and not worrying about the other teams. We rowed our race."
Giuseppe Lanzone
No. 3 Seat, Washington men's varsity eight
"It felt good. We executed the race plan exactly how we wanted. It felt great. It's was pretty even for the first 500 or 700, around that. Then we made a few moves like we planned to. We did what we've been working on."
Sarah Hubbard
No. 6 Seat, Washington women's varsity eight
"The Czech Republic crew was made up of the best girls that they have in the country. We went out there and tried to stay settled. We had a good start. The start was very aggressive, which is what we needed to do. We got off the water and didn't win, but we are focusing on what we did improve on and what we need to work on."
Olivia Morrow
No. 2 Seat, Washington women's varsity eight
On the outcome of the race:
"We are happy with the race. We did what we needed to do, we raced our own race. We got a length up at the start. We had a really fast start, that's more than what we could have asked for. We are making steps every single week, we're getting faster. We executed what we have been working on in practice. We have a couple more steps to do before Pac-10s and nationals. If we maintain the momentum, we will have a really good season."
On the excitement of Windermere and racing the Czech Republic's National Team:
"It defiantly lights the fire. It got us really excited. It can be a little intimidating, but if we just focus on ourselves and what we can do, that's all we should really ask for."
Bryan Volpenhein
U.S. National Team
Stroke of winning pair in Windermere Olympic Challenge Cup
On the atmosphere of the Windermere Cup:
"It is a lot like Henley in England. But its more compact, the boats are bigger, and the water is a little bit tougher. It's a lot of fun, people are really excited and it gets really loud."
On winning the gold medal in Athens in the 2004 Olympics:
"My life hasn't changed that much. I think the opportunities are there, you just have to let people know. If you want to use it you can, but my life is pretty much the same. I feel a little bit different, I feel satisfied."
On the growth of the sport:
People are definitely more interested. I think little kids are more interested now as well, kids that just started to row.
Matt Deakin
U.S. National Team
Bow of winning pair in Windermere Olympic Challenge Cup
On the atmosphere of the Windermere Cup:
"It's a fun race. We had fun and that's what matters. It's always fun to come back. This is the first opportunity I have had to come back since I graduated from college and started racing for the United States. You have people cheering for Cornell and people cheering for UW. It's nice when you come down and it's the U.S. and everyone cheers for you. It's so loud down there."
Dan Roock
Cornell Men's Head Coach
"We come out here because it's such a unique race, it's a festival, it's crazy. We never have a chance to do this sort of thing anywhere else. But what I am more excited about is how our guys raced. We have been on the water a little late this year, so every race is a little better for us. To be able to go out here and test our speed against Washington, we'll see in a month at the IRA's, so I am psyched at how well we were able to race and our intensity. We have a few things to work on that this race shows, so we are psyched to see that."
On the impact of the atmosphere:
"It got us a little over excited, but we knew it was going to happen."
On the Windermere Cup Regatta:
"It's pretty special. It really adds to it in a big way. Again it almost got us too excited. But that's fine, you can't experience it in any other race so we love it."
Andrew Meyer
No. 3 Seat, Cornell Men's Varsity Eight
On the Windermere Cup Regatta:
"It's amazing, it's the best rowing experience I've had. It's up there with Head of the Charles and any other event that I have ever raced in."
On how the atmosphere influenced them during the race:
"Oh yeah. We went out real hard and tried to lead and hold our own, get our bow in front. Did that for about 1100 meters and then kind of slipped away."
On the whole experience of the regatta and being in Seattle:
"This is my first time in Seattle and it's a great place, great city. I look forward to going around and seeing it this afternoon. What can I say about the regatta other than it's amazing."
Chris Wilson
Cornell Women's Head Coach
On the Windermere Cup Regatta:
"Obviously this is a rare sporting experience and I've sort of been to most regattas around the world and there is really nothing like this event. For the undergraduates from Washington to experience this every year they are really lucky. The Windermere hosts are amazing and we just feel so lucky to be here. The race was actually a solid performance for us. We are in the last week of classes and getting ready for our championships next week and we sort of have to figure out how to build this racing opportunity into our training so we didn't blow ourselves out for next week. Our varsity has come along way this year. We are kind of pleased we had a respectable performance against Washington. We know they are one of the top crew's in the country, so we are pleased with what we did today."
On how the atmosphere contributes to the race:
"I think it definitely helps. All along we have been trying to get off the line in a really aggressive way. There is no doubt that lining up the sides spurred these women on. They actually had a seat up on the Czech's at the start, which is pretty cool. There is no way these women have experienced so much support, so there was no way to have any leg in the race. They were pushing themselves like always, but there was just so much external energy to draw upon. It was pretty special for them."
Alexa Olson
No. 4 Seat, Cornell Women's Varsity Eight
On the Windermere Cup Regatta:
"It was a lot of fun. Having all the fans made a big difference because you could hear everyone while you were racing. It brought another level of intensity to the atmosphere, it was awesome."
On the atmosphere impacting the race:
"I think it did. It helped us, especially when we got to the bridge it helped drive us to the line even harder because we could hear everyone yelling. Even though we weren't sure they were yelling for us we had to go hard."
On this experience:
"This is a great race and there really isn't anything else that we have been participating in that is at this level, so we are really happy to be here."

Metro Boston, North Shore and Metro West: Early in the week we spoke about the changeable weather conditions that would confront us this week and Mother Nature did not let us down. It was a roller coaster week of weather. We had a touch of snow early Monday then the next day it reached 60 degrees in Boston, rain to snow to windy conditions mid week and then the near record to record cold temperatures last night and early this morning. Here we are in the middle of March and temperatures this morning are mostly in the single digits and low teens across the area. The record low temperature for Boston on this date is 12 degrees set in 1896. That is not in jeopardy. After the frigid start to the day temperatures are going to rebound quickly as Friday promises to be a big improvement from the bitter cold and gusty winds of Thursday and Thursday night. The highs on Saturday likely more than double up on Thursday readings.
A ridge of high pressure across the East Coast will slide offshore by tonight and into Saturday. Meanwhile, low pressure in the Great Lakes pushes into the St. Lawrence River Valley Saturday morning. A brisk southwesterly flow will develop during Friday into Saturday and this means milder temperatures into Saturday as well. A cold front swings through later on Saturday as the low moves northeastward. Expect periods of mostly cloudy skies Friday night and Saturday with a chance of a shower, although there will be periods of sunshine as well on Saturday with the mercury approaching 50 degrees in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, on Sunday we return to cold, blustery conditions on the backside of the departing cold front. It will not be as bitterly cold as Thursday was but still some 15 degrees or so below normal as the mercury does not recover much from the morning lows.
As the cold front sags southward on Sunday a low pressure system will emerge out of the northern Gulf of Mexico and track to a position off the North Carolina coast by Monday morning. A strong high pressure system will be pushing southeast out of Canada as well and the issue becomes if the high can force the low harmlessly out to sea Monday. Or, does the high ripple a bit further north and in turn allow the low to push closer to southern New England and perhaps impact the area Monday. The thinking now is the high wins this battle and we stay dry and cold to start the new work week.
72 Hour Outlook:
Friday: Bitter cold start but a milder afternoon. Partly cloudy skies to mostly cloudy at times in the afternoon with high temperatures in the 30s. Winds become southwest at 10 to 20 mph.
Friday night: Mostly cloudy. Chance of a rain shower, possibly a snow shower well inland. Much milder as temperatures remain fairly steady. Lows generally in the low to mid 30s. Gusty southwest winds.
Saturday: Variable cloudiness and mild. Chance of a passing shower. Mild, highs near 50 degrees. Southwest winds up to 20 mph.
Saturday night: Becoming partly cloudy, breezy and colder. Lows in the 20s.
Sunday: Colder and blustery. Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 30s.
Sunday night: Increasing clouds. Even colder with lows in the teens inland to near 20 along the coast.

I'm having a VPS which is currently using 10GB storage. Apart from this I have a 50GB dropbox account. I want to use dropbox as a backup for my VPS and there should be automated weekly backups. Is that practically possible? And if it is possible would it be able to take MySQL databases as well in that backup?
Assuming your VPS is Linux/Unix based, you either need to grab an existing Dropbox client for Linux, alternatively compile the client from source. Once installed grab the Command line tools script and link a new directory on the device to your account. Once linked the easiest option would be to hard link the directories you want to backup, under your dropbox directory and possibly schedule a few periodic mySQL dumps into another sub-directory.

Amarillo firefighters were called to the Timbers Apartments Wednesday after a heating unit overheated and some residences filled with smoke, Amarillo Fire Marshal Terry McKinney said.
No fire erupted, he said. The complex is making repairs to more than 200 heating units at the apartment after electrical heaters sparked two separate fires at the apartments at 4615 S. Virginia St. in early November, he said.
McKinney served a notice to apartment management after the fires that ordered a qualified inspector to make repairs and maintenance to potentially hazardous heating units and report back to his office within 30 days.
McKinney said he expects to hear back from management next week, but repairs are ongoing.
After the fires, McKinney said he and a city mechanical inspector found several problems with the heating units, including heat damage to conductors and incorrectly installed service panel covers that provide the first line of defense to contain the heat.
The first fire was Nov. 3 in a building on the north side of the complex. It was contained to the one building and caused an estimated $150,000 in damages, authorities said.
A heater sparked another fire at Buildings 18 and 19 at the same complex the next day. The fire began in Building 19 and quickly spread to the neighboring building because of escalated wind conditions, fire officials said.
The second fire caused about $500,000 in damage and destroyed or heavily damaged up to 20 apartments, authorities said.
The Texas Panhandle Chapter of the American Red Cross helped about 15 people on both days, agency officials said.
No one sustained any injuries from the blazes, fire officials said.
The Potter-Randall Appraisal District lists each building's value at $173,172.
Representatives with TVO North America, the apartment's parent company, could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

American skier Ted Ligety not only became the first American man to win two Olympic gold medals in Alpine skiing, he dominated the event on Wednesday (Feb. 19) in Sochi. As the Associated Press reports on Feb. 19, the American skier delivered a memorable performance as he took home the gold in the giant slalom event.
In perfect conditions, Ligety led after his first run by 1.5 seconds over Steve Missillier of France before he finished strong, speeding down the Rosa Khutor course in a two-leg combined time of 2 minutes, 45.29 seconds. The time beat Missillier by 0.48 seconds and bronze medalist Alexis Pinturault of France by 0.64.
With the victory, Ligety became just the second American to win two Olympic golds in Alpine skiing. He also became the first American male skier to win the Olympic giant slalom.
Ligety celebrated a day of firsts by twirling around in the finish area while still on his skis. As one of the best giant slalom skiers over the last few years, winning the gold medal seemed inevitable for the 29-year-old Utah native. He will now add an Olympic gold medal to his 14 World Cup giant slalom victories. Fellow skier Bode Miller called him the best.
"I think he's one of the best GS skiers in history. He's so much better at it than everybody else….He just is so consistent. He makes no errors. And anybody who's trying to cut off line just ends up making mistakes and it makes a huge gap."
Ligety proved Miller right as both of his runs showcased his smooth technique and ability to fluently capture sharp turns and find the best angles to capture the course.

Ekman's research and practical training were prominently featured in Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller Blink, and the insights in Emotions Revealed provide us with the skills to recognize feelings in our spouses, children, business colleagues, even strangers on the street.
