The man-on-car murder by Sherry Lynn Wilkins, the drunken substance-abuse counselor who struck a pedestrian in Los Angeles and then tried to get rid of the dying man on her car by driving for miles, was supposed to be sentenced for the murder on Wednesday. However, according to an Associated Press report on March 27, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said that the sentencing of Sherry Lynn Wilkins was put off until June.
Last month, a jury convicted the 52-year-old woman of second-degree murder, drunken driving, and hit-and-run. She is facing a possible prison term of 45 years to life for the death of 31-year-old Phillip Moreno.
The murder of Moreno occurred in November of 2012 when Wilkins was driving on Torrance Boulevard with a blood-alcohol level that was nearly twice the legal limit. After striking the 31-year-old pedestrian, the intoxicated woman, who worked as a drug and alcohol rehab counselor at Twin Town Treatment Center in Torrance, kept on driving for 2.3 miles in an attempt "to dislodge" the dying man who was caught on her windshield.
It was not until witnesses were able to surround her car and bring it to a stop at Crenshaw Boulevard and 182nd Street that Moreno could be taken off the windshield and transported to a hospital where he died.
Before the November man-on-car murder, Wilkins already had a prior hit-and-run arrest, but authorities were unable to pursue charges against her because tests could not prove that she was under the influence of any substance. No reason for the postponement of Wednesday's sentencing was provided.

NEW YORK (AP) — Boston Red Sox pitcher Mathew Price has been suspended for 50 games for a second violation for a drug of abuse under the minor league drug program.
A 22-year-old right-hander from Virginia Tech taken in the eighth round of the 2010 amateur draft, Price had made one appearance this season for Class A Greenville of the South Atlantic League. He had been on the disabled list since April 5.
The suspension announced Friday was the 40th this year under the minor league program, including 15 for drugs of abuse.

These days, it seems everyone wants to save money. Using coupons is a great way to do that! However, some people are intimidated by the idea of using coupons when grocery shopping. It's actually quite easy! Here are some tips for coupon shopping and what to expect in the store.
1. Just because a coupon is published for a product, it doesn't mean it's the best deal. Don't just cut the coupons and use them right away….Save them for when the item goes on a good sale.
2. Coupons are changing these days. You can find more coupons for organic items, "light" items, bagged salads, etc. Plus, within a brand, there is usually healthier option; such as Ragu Heart Smart. So if the coupon says "any Ragu" you can opt for the healthier one.
3. Walmart is the only store who price matches groceries. But it is limited; they won't match gimmicks such as buy one, get one free. They also don't double coupons. Price matching fruits and vegetables can be much more beneficial than every day groceries. You can use the ads from such stores as Food City, Sunflower Market, and Sprouts (who typically have the best produce prices), and let the cashier know how much the items you are purchasing should be adjusted to.
4. A good rule of thumb for knowing if you are getting a good deal is: if the sale for the product is at least 50% off the regular price, and THEN you are adding a coupon to it, it is a good (or even great) deal.
5 There are a number of websites that help shoppers plan their meals and save money. For downloadable coupons, go to www.smartsource.com, www.pillsbury.com, www.cellfire.com, among others. Also, savings blogs such as the one www.azgrocyerguru.com/blog help shoppers know what's going on by listening to others' experiences.
6. A big mistake consumers make is not waiting for the good sale. Instead, people feel rushed to use the coupon soon after it's been published. Be patient, and wait for the good sale so you save the most.
7. Buy in multiples when possible. When Ragu is .30 a jar, you'll want to get 3 or 4 to last you until the next great sale like that. So, getting multiple papers on Sunday or getting extra coupons from your relatives or neighbors really helps. You can also try trading coupons with groups of friends or within your mom's club.
8. If you like certain brands, go directly to their website and request coupons (or sign up for their coupons/newsletters they already offer). Sites such as www.huggies.com and www.bettycrocker.com have coupon areas right on the webpage.
9. Watch your receipts. If you are overcharged for a product at Safeway, Fry's, Albertson's, or Bashas, they will give you the item for free when you go to customer service and point out the error.
Using these tips above can help you save money in the grocery stores, and those coupons will really add up to a lot of savings. Imagine cutting your grocery bills in half by changing a few habits….what would you do with that extra money?

Roberta's Owners Reportedly Planning Rockaway Beach Restaurant
Rockaway kale pies, anyone?
DNAinfo hears that the enterprising crew at the Bushwick-based Roberta's is building out a new project on a Beach 96th Street lot in Rockaway Beach. There's no indication of when the restaurant might actually open, or if it'll be an official Roberta's outpost, even, but now that the restaurant's got frozen pizzas in Whole Foods and a solid cookbook under its belt, it makes sense that Roberta's would take its summer surfside concession-stand efforts to the next level by opening a permanent restaurant near the beach. There's even lots of room for a vegetable garden. [DNAInfo, Related]

Diana DeGette, Colorado Democratic congresswoman and deputy Democrtic Whip responded for her First Congressional District constituents with a letter to President Obama, Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader and John Boehner, Speaker of the House admonishing them to put aside political posturing and get down to the nation's business. In what has become a political circus where Republicans are attempting to leverage the crisis of the moment to push through a deficit reduction plan rife with uncompromised conservative dogma and Democrats claim the moral high ground of reasonable debt reduction, DeGette's letter urges both sides to end the political gridlock that has paralyzed negotiations. The debt ceiling deal must be reached by next Tuesday, August 2nd in order to avert a technical default by the federal government in meeting interest payments on bonds it issues and other financial obligations such as social security checks to retirees.
The Republican leadership under Congressman Boehner has had to hew a tricky path between a practical conservative plan to raise the ceiling while finding ways to reduce the nation's alarmingly growing budget deficit while its even more conservative Tea Party wing calls for drastic cuts to federal government programs and targeting Medicare and Social Security specifically, and in some instances even for Boehner's resignation. In light of this pressure, Boehner and the Republicans have refused to negotiate to include raising revenues by doing away with some corporate welfare, loopholes and taxes benefiting wealthier Americans.
Democrats have called for a shared sacrifice by all and have accepted cuts to social programs as long as revenue increases are included in any long term budget deficit solution. But, the problem they all face at the moment is to agree to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion by next Tuesday in order to avoid defaulting on the federal government's existing financial obligations.
While Congresswoman DeGette's letter to the leaders of the negotiations raised no new points, her call reflected Americans' increasing frustration with Washington partisan politics that have made the word "compromise" as dirty a word to conservatives as they made the word "liberal" to a generation twenty years earlier.

Beginning in May 2014, Korean Air will offer nonstop flights from Houston to Seoul, South Korea. Four days a week, travelers - business and otherwise- will be able to shave four or five hours off of flight time by traveling direct to Seoul's Incheon International Airport.
The announcement marks a significant move for Houston as it promotes the city as an international gateway. As industries expand into the Houston market, airlines have taken notice of the enhanced need to offer more convenient travel options to and from the gulf coast city.
Korean Air made the decision based on its wanting to own a share of the Houston to Asia travel market. Not only will this move enhance Korean Air's visibility in the U.S., but it will also allow Houston businesses to more conveniently connect with Asia.
Korean Air previously opened a non-stop route between Dallas and Seoul. Nonstop flights from Houston will be offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday beginning in May.

Sith Marauder, Endurance over Strength? Can it be done?
Started a Sith Marauder, DPS mainly but still low enough (17) to spec off-tank if needed. Currently Carnage tree(?) (Middle tree), pumping points in off-hand damage and Ward/Cloak/Area damage mitigation). Pumping high loads of Endurance/Strength (mostly endurance for off-tanking) since her offensive moves are pretty much Tank-Hater aggro steal :xp:
Using the item mods that grant END over STR (Guardian/Patron) rather than Might mods. SO far it's working great while still dealing loads of damage (of course Vette is brutal helpful when soloing.. hehe).
Endurance is a waste for Marauders. They can't spec into any sort of tank (only Juggs have the appropriate tree), so you'd be better off replacing all your gear with proper Strength-dominant stuff. Otherwise you'll just be gimping yourself. I can make you a set of replacement mods for all your slotted gear.
Should probably clarify that I'm only using minor end-over-str items. The Guardian/Patron mods tend to switch the values respectively only by a point or two.. Once I land an orange slot armor, I will switch my weapon mods over to high strength.. but I gotta say, so far Shelkylya is absolutely brutal.
I'll see how her build goes at least till the end of the 2nd planet to see If I start noticing a degradation towards the tougher enemies (usually save heroics for last). Should give me enough time to respec if I start feeling some hurt. Hoarding my commendations so I should be able to pimp out gear before leaving planet :D
Yeah I wouldn't be judging too much based on what you are seeing on Dromund Kaas. Long term that strategy isn't going to stay effective.
As far as respecing goes, what are you planning on respecing to? All three Marauder trees are DPS, just slightly different flavours. The main choice is really a PVE vs PVP build.
I'll wind up spending them on misc mods for my gear. Already spent some gearing up Vette since I won't deviate her Cunning/Endurance. But I've luckily had some sweet luck with Shel as I pulled an orange saber from the Black Talon flashpoint, and another orange loot drop for one of the miscellaneous Kaas quest. Both of which are comparable (after mods) than the orange slot "special goods" seller. Same with my armor.. though I did fork over the credits for the gloves from the seller.
Next tick will be the second rank in Defensive Forms as it builds my Fury quickly and adds my Forms bonuses as opposed to Erupting Fury (which I'll add the next 2 levels after that.. hehe). Once I hit Berserk, game's over for anything in front of me (or in force jump range). Juyo form is a beast.
But I'm always open for suggestions if anyone has tried this path and finds out it sucks :lol: NOT interested in PVP at all.
Lynk's Marauder is nigh on 50 and has finished both the class quest and all the planet side-quests up to Corellia and Astor has a Marauder in the 30s. Both should be able to offer some advice, although I am unsure as to which trees each has spec'd into.
Moved all of the posts above from a different thread...
With Silvana... it's more along the lines of "kill everything before it kills you"... Basically she's 100% offence, 0% defence...
Tree: http://www.torhead.com/skill-calc#100bcZhGbbddrorsZG.1
This build is obviously based on Ataru form and as you've probably noticed it's all about how quickly you can dish out the damage to the enemy and how many of them land criticals. Strength over endurance is key, even if you find a piece of armour or a mod that gives you +1 strength and -5 endurance, I take it.
The key secondary stats are critical rate, surge rate, accuracy and then power in that order. These are key because you're going to be doing a lot of moves one after the other and you need them to critical, accuracy also helps to deal with enemies that are higher level than you are.
The companion to use for this build, I've found, is Vette. You're a suped up Melee DPS, she's a suped up Ranged DPS... so yes, kill or be killed is the key. Select a mob, figure out which one of them is the strongest and get Vette to attack that unit. Then you force charge in and take out all of the weaker ones which takes a matter of seconds. Then you turn your attention to the big one and you do everything you can to stall it so that Vette can get as much DPS in as possible because she's probably going to die.
Of course if she does, no problem, you've already taken down the mob and all you have to do is retreat back a little so no patrols come by, dismiss Vette and then recall her and she'll come back with full health in an instant. Then you channel hatred back to full health, rinse and repeat on another mob.
I know how it sounds, it's brutal, it's dangerous, it's a huge risk because you have no one to heal you and it literally is kill or be killed. But I will tell you now that this method has proven super effective for me. I've taken down mobs that have been 3-4 levels above me throughout most of the game.
In fact, this build has been so successful that I started to get overconfident with it and by the latter part of the game I was way TOO underleveled for the missions I was taking on. Everything was red which meant that no matter how much you'd attack that enemy, they'd dodge or resist the attack... it was terrible because all of my missions were either red or grey because I had skipped a couple of bonus series early in the game.
I had to continue the game with DP just so I could progress in the game, otherwise it would've taken me way too much grinding to level up to where I should have been.
So yeah. This build is extremely effective, but it's so effective that you can end up biting off more than you can chew since you become overconfident when you start killing mobs which are levels above you.
Basically it's the Darth Maul build. 100% aggression... kill everything.
EDIT: With that build, just make sure you don't do what I did and get overconfident and was enjoying the class story so much that I wanted to see more as much as I could. Pace yourself and I'm sure people would be able to take it all the way to level 50 without a shred of help. Hell, I was able to finish a few heroic 2's with this build.
And this all comes from a guy who plays 100% defensive Trooper Vanguard on the Republic side.
With your build, I suggest you use Quinn as your companion when you get him since he's a healer. If my crazy build can work, perhaps yours can too.
Thanks Lynk.. some nice stuff to look over!
Yeah.. I'm really digging Shel's build right now.. and gimpy as she might become, I'm still tempted to see how far I can get with it. This was my prospective build, sticking to Juyo as opposed to switching to Ataru (though may need to switch entirely over to Annihilation tree for Juyo to maximize).
Main factor would be if bleeding effects stack. If they do.. might have to respec to Annihilation to take full advantage. Otherwise, my mungled tree takes advantage of the moves I use most and makes for smooth clicking succession (since melee combat is much more hectic than ranged imo).
The extra endurance helps me stand ground while they bleed, I maintain aggro and keep Vette safe and DPS'ing at a distance. The capper is having to balance between bleed and attaining fury quicker to unleash Berserk.
Again, could be a total botch build and gimped beyond words though :lol:
Having to take that one tier of Ataru kinda wastes some points.. but I needed to for top tier.
I want to test the build with a healer to see if she really can off-tank (not expecting to replace a tank, but my DPS steals aggro like no ones business).
May have to test with the "faux" healer ship droid once I get it before I can make a final decision as to respec or not.
I like experimental builds, usually to my guild's moans (in DDO).. but they all ate crow when my mix mage/cleric "gimp" build wound up topping their Min/Max builds. Of course they where totally right about my Ranger/Mage build.. definitely had to admit gimp on that one :xp:
*- the more I'm reading on the Annihilate tree.. the more I'm thinking of switching over. Looks like it might suit the build better. Hmmmm :raise:
The problem with companion healers, especially early on, is they are not really proper healers. Generally speaking, they won't heal you fast enough that you can just stand around forever waiting for mobs to keel over from DOTs. IMO, that sort of strategy is really only useful for mid- to end-game group play in Flashpoints/Operations where you are taking on boss mobs. In that scenario, you are in for a long fight so DOTs start to come into their own, plus you have proper healers and tanks to (hopefully) free you up to focus on your job. In solo levelling PVE, you should be focused first and foremost on maximising base damage and enhancing criticals, much as Lynk has done. In that scenario, a healer companion should be fine, as long as you don't go crazy and take on content 5 levels above you. 90% of what you will be fighting is Weak and Normal trash mobs with some Strongs thrown in. You want to burn through them as fast as possible, not giving them time to stack up the damage on you. Especially as a melee DPS, lacking any real AOE abilities to deal with groups simultaneously (the major benefit of Trooper/BHs).
I think the biggest problem healer companions have earlier on in the game is that they generate too much threat with their healing abilities. It was fine for me and my run through with my Vanguard and Elara since I could easily generate enough threat with ion cell and then in later levels, taunt anyone who came near her or looked at her funny...
In your case, chainz, I think you'll find that Quinn (when you get him) will probably end up coming under fire quite a few times and when that happens, he goes from healing you to healing himself... which can be troublesome for you if there's still enough attention on you.
I'm pretty sure Astor was having that problem since he's been using Quinn through his run-through... except that one big fight at the end of chapter 1 where I got him to switch to Vette :p
Of course, that said... I think the dot could help you generate more threat, but the real clincher is the fact that you don't have any taunts. I mean, the Marauder wasn't made to taunt at all, it was made to stay out of trouble which is why it has Force Camouflage which takes down your threat level for a little while.
Even as a Jugg I had constant problems holding aggro, especially early on with no taunts. Even when you finally get them (1 single target, 1 AOE), the cooldowns are so long as to make them effectively a 1 shot use in most fights. I just gave up using Vette once I had a melee DPS companion as she was constantly pulling mobs away from me. The only real experience I had using Malavai (healer) was when Lynk's Marauder and I grouped to tackle the last two planets (which gave us tank, healer, 2 x DPS). While he drew some aggro occasionally, I think it was primarily due to Vette once again dragging mobs off me, and then some of them aggroing on to Malavai (who would usually be right next to Vette). I really don't think a ranged DPS companion is a good combo with a melee class, but that's just my personal preference.
As a BH Merc DPS, I hardly ever found that Mako (healer companion) drew too much aggro. Generally it was only the occasional boss fight where it became an issue. I was usually outputting more than enough damage to offset any threat she may have generated. Plus the use of AOEs as an opener ensured I would aggro the entire group against me straight off the bat.
That's crazy talk, Vette is perfect for the Marauder... but I can understand her not being very good with the Juggernaut.
From my time spent learning everything there is to know about tanking as a Vanguard, I've learned quite a lot about how to manage agro. That experience actually came in handy with my Silvana + Vette team up. Basically Vette and I shared the agro somewhat equally, though I purposefully got her to take a little more of the agro and at times die for me since it's over if I die... of course I used moves such as Force Choke to ensure that she was able to get some good DPS in as well. I'd also use moves such as Smash, Force Scream, Ravage, Crippling Slash, Deadly Throw, Obfuscate, Force Camouflage and Intimidating Roar... all of them to keep the enemy off balance in every single way possible to make sure that they weren't able to retaliate effectively enough against our combined onslaught. Disable Droid also helps quite a bit too :p
Like I keep saying, it ended up working amazingly well.
As for Quinn taking heat when we were playing, it was because he started healing Vette when she started taking heavy amounts of damage that got him to generate enough threat to be targeted... something which could happen equally as much if either one of us were taking large amounts of damage and he was healing us constantly.
It happens when with a full party group as well, it's up to the tank to manage it.
Good stuff guys, enjoying the info :D
Only raised one level last night (still on Kaas, I'm slow.. hehe) so no real 'experimenting' but after reading your posts and doing some digging through the ToR forums, looks as if you stray too far off a tree.. you're going to fail miserably. Kinda sucks for way-left-field-builds, but oh well, it's still a relatively new MMO. Plenty of time for them to expand ;)
Soooo. with that in mind, I'm thinking of switching over to the Annihilate tree tier. I already took the dive and switched over my mods to STR/END (landed some nice orange armor). Thanks kindly for the advice. :)
While the Ataru form looks sweet as hell, I want to try something a bit different. The Juyo form looks to benefit mostly from Annihilate, so I think I'm going to bleed my enemies to death :devsmoke:
Potential build:
I've heard plenty of folks say that they like the Annihilation tree better than the Carnage tree, though and felt the Carnage tree was broken... personally, I've never had any problems with the Carnage tree and Ataru form but take into account that a lot of these people were factoring in PvP.
You should do well with the Juyo form and it might be an idea to take some of my tactics into consideration when using it as well by stalling the mobs as much as possible so they can't land too many attacks in on you and your companion so that they can bleed out enough hp at the same time.
I use FC quite a bit, one of my favorite moves and it helps immobilize.. even better :D
With the combo of Force Charge's stun, Crippling Slash and Force Choke.. I think I may be able to slow down an enemy's charge towards Vette (or other) until I can finish them off or regain aggro.
One thing I do wonder though is if lightsabers do bleed damage (don't see how that works). Might need to start looking for some blades if that's the case.. hmmmm :raise:
Weapons don't have any inherent damage effects. That is determined by the skill used.
As far as Force Charge goes, that should pretty much always be your opener. Any ability that lowers its cooldown and increases the amount of Rage it generates should be a priority. Minimum range reduction is also very worthwhile. I can't tell you the number of times my Jugg, laden down with movement inhibiting debuffs, has been forced to painfully amble over to a guy mere inches inside the minimum range of 10m, all the while being shot in the face.
FC -> Battering Assault -> Rupture -> Ravage
FC -> Smash -> Battering Assault -> Ravage
After that, it's cleanup for whomever didn't just get disintegrated because I only need 1-2 more attacks before Berserk kicks in :xp:
Depending on how you want to go, it's possible to get to the top of one tree and still take several first tier abilities from the other two trees. My Jugg for instance is 35/2/4 (this, if you are interested in specifics). And if you want to sacrifice the top of tree talent, you can go even more extreme, becoming something of a hybrid like you described earlier. That's what I am planning with my Sorcerer (although I am extremely annoyed in that case that I want to be Lightning spec'd, but half the lightning abilities are in the Madness tree).
This post makes me laugh looking back on it.

Thom F., Los Angeles, CA.There aren't many things in this world that I love as much as a big, juicy sausage (no pun intended) and this place serves some of the best I've had. This place is the definition of what a man's restaurant should be. They have a ton of sausages, including exotic selections such as Elk, Venison, and Kangaroo and their beer selection is great. Their portions are much bigger than some of the trendy sausage places that have popped up in the last couple years and they are even slightly cheaper. The atmosphere is like a Bavarian Drinking Hall, so I can't complain there.
The first time I went for lunch was so delicious that I came back for dinner the same night. And since they have moved into their new location, their hours are extended a lot longer than they used to be, making late night sausage and beer runs more likely.
I used to think Wurstkuche was the best around, but this place beats it hands down. It's larger portions, cheaper, tastier, and isn't full hipster douche bags talking about unsigned bands and fixies. It's just an old fashion Hofbrau with good beer, good food, and good people.

One of the easiest root crops to grow is potatoes. Plus, they're
fun to grow and a small area can provide a nice yield of this tasty
vegetable. Early spring is the best time to plant them.
Tires: There are two different methods of
growing potatoes in tires. One way is to stack three or four tires, fill
them with soil and plant two to three seed pieces about 1 or 2 inches deep
in the top tire. The black of the tire absorbs and radiates heat, and
there usually is a heavy yield.
Another method is to put a tire on the ground,
fill it with soil and plant the potatoes within the tire. Plant two seed
potatoes, whole or halved, about 2 inches deep. Once the potatoes have
developed 3 or 4 inches of foliage growth, a second tire can be put on top
of the first, Fill in with more soil, always leaving at least 2 inches of
leaf growth above the soil level. Continue to fill as the plants grow.
Once you've filled in the center of the second tire, continue the stack to
a height of three or four tires. Keep in mind you must always leave about
2 inches of foliage showing.
VARIETIES - choose the varieties that fit your cooking needs and taste
preferences. Keep in mind some varieties have special attributes such as
being particularly suited for baking; French fries; boiling or for making
hash browns. Here are just a few of the most popular ones:
WHITE ROSE - probably the best known variety.
This early white potato is nice for boiling; potato salad but is only fair
for baking. It is only considered fair for storing purposes.
NETTED GEM - another popular variety.
Considered one of the best for baking. This late russet Burbank variety
stores well.
KENNEBEC - another late maturing white potato
variety. An excellent one for fries; chips; baking or hashbrowns.
NORGOLD RUSSET - excellent early variety for
baking or boiling. Does not store too well.
YELLOW FINNISH - this is one of the favorites at our home. It is a smaller
sized potato with a yellow interior of excellent flavor. My wife likes to
bake it in the microwave oven. It is a versatile potato and stores
moderately well.
RED PONTIAC - is a popular red skinned variety
of average quality. It stores quite well.
RED NORLAND - this is a well-rounded red
variety that has good qualities for baking or boiling.
Needless to say, there are many other varieties
that merit use in the home garden.
Last year, we grew potatoes in eight stacks of
tires, using eight: different potato varieties. Each tire stack averaged
11 pounds of potatoes: Some readers have reported yields of up to 38
pounds per stack. Others have reported poor results, averaging as few as
one or two potatoes per stack. Over-watering or the use of too much high
nitrogen fertilizer could be the reason for poor yields.
The reason you can grow potatoes successfully
in this manner is that potatoes develop on stems above the roots. Of
course, it's for this reason that mounding or mulching potatoes is
recommended so highly.
Some of the potatoes that we grew in tire
stacks were: not harvested until January of this year. So the tire stacks
also provided an ideal place to store them throughout fall and winter.

Works ok, But,
By A Customer
This review is from: Backup MyPC 5 Deluxe (CD-ROM)
I was never able to fully restore. The only thing that really worked was to re-install XP and then do the recovery from there.
The results then work ok as long as I never use any of the driver options, including the "recommended".
All in all, better than Ghost, but not by very much.

Kevin Harvick came away the winner at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday, in a race that by all rights Kyle Busch should have won, in the ninth of the 10 Chase races that will determine this season's NASCAR Sprint Cup champion. But that wasn't the big story of the race. The pit crews of Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon became enraged then engaged in full-scale fisticuffs before the race was even completed because of the intentional carnage caused to Bowyer's car by Gordon's limping No. 24 car on the next to last lap of the scheduled 312-lap race.
This was a hugely important race for Bowyer, from Emporia, Kan. With only two races to go coming into the AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix, Bowyer and his Michael Waltrip Racing team were hoping for a strong run on Sunday that would make up some much needed ground and keep them in the hunt for the 2012 Sprint Cup championship.
With less than 10 laps to go in Sunday's race, Bowyer's No. 15 Toyota was running in the top five. The Chase points leader, Brad Keselowski was up among the leaders, but five-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who was in second place just one spot ahead of Bowyer in the Chase standings, was finished for the day, having blown a tire and hit the wall on lap 234. Running side-by-side, Bowyer collided with and forced Gordon's car against the wall on lap 305, apparently puncturing a tire in the 24 car in the process.
That was the beginning, or what Gordon later termed the last straw in what he alleged to be a long series of run-ins with Bowyer this season, of what, seven laps later, turned into an out-of-control and totally unnecessary act of revenge on Gordon's part. Limping around the final laps on the one-mile Phoenix International racetrack, Gordon purposely lay in wait for a clear shot at Bowyer's car, which he got between Turns 3 and 4 on lap 312, intentionally turning into the No. 15 car, crashing both vehicles and several other trailing cars and setting off a 15-minute pit-road melee more typical of a National Hockey League game than a stock car race.
The race was red-flagged after the incident, and both cars were too damaged to finish the race. Gordon was able to get his car off the track and drove it to the garage area. About that time, members of Bowyer's pit crew raced on foot into Gordon's garage area looking for the veteran NASCAR driver when considerable pushing and punching ensued between the two race teams. Gordon was quickly ushered by members of his Hendrick Motorsports team into the team's nearby hauler. As Bowyer parked his severely damaged car on pit road, he caught a glimpse on a giant video board behind his pit stall area of the fight going on down pit road, much to the crowd's delight.
The next thing everyone trackside and viewing on national TV across the country was the sight of Bowyer sprinting down to Gordon's garage area, where he was physically restrained.
Not only does this unfortunate incident completely end any chance Bowyer had of capturing his first Sprint Cup championship, but it also cost him valuable points and a potentially higher finish in the Chase for the Cup standings that would earn him more mone. And the worst of it is, it didn't have to happen, and shouldn't have, in the first place. Not to mention the image implications and embarrassment the public and highly physical altercation created for NASCAR.
Gordon is a four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion and a highly respected and revered veteran of the sport, but he does have a mean side, due to his highly competitive nature, and this side of him came out in full force and in full public view on Sunday. The 23-year NASCAR veteran contends that this was another of numerous on-track run-ins he has had this year with Bowyer and the No. 15 5-Hour Energy car, and it had finally reached the point that the 41-year-old Gordon was fed up and felt he had to do something about it.
I don't think this is what NASCAR had in mind when it came out a year ago with its more relaxed "boys have at it" approach, allowing the drivers more latitude to race hard.
"It's just things have gotten escalated over the year, and I've just had it," Gordon said after meeting with NASCAR officials following Sunday's race. "Clint's run into me numerous times, wrecked me, and he got into me on the back straightaway and pretty much ruined our day. I've had it and was fed up with it and got him back."
Said Bowyer about the on-track incident and the fight that broke out between the two race teams: "It make us look like a bunch of (idiots).
"It's pretty embarrassing for a four-time champion to act like that," Bowyer continued. "I barely touched him, and then I feel him get into Turn 3 and try to turn me. He missed, and then the next thing I know, Brett (Griffin, Bowyer's spotter) is telling me on the radio that he's waiting on me."
Both Bowyer and Gordon were among the 12 qualifiers in this season's Chase field, except that Gordon was in sixth and 72 points off the lead and Bowyer was in third place, 36 points off the pace, coming into the penultimate Chase race at Phoenix.
Both drivers are generally mild mannered and not considered hotheads, despite their highly competitive mental and physical makeup. It's easy to understand, in the heat of battle, how passion and emotion can get aroused and temperament can get pushed to the edge, but what Gordon did, lying in wait to intentionally take someone out of a race who is fighting for a championship, is inexcusable, egregious behavior on the part of any driver, let alone one of the most accomplished and longtime drivers in the sport. Someone of Gordon's standing should certainly know better and be expected to exercise more professional judgment.
NASCAR has fined Gordon $100,000, taken away 25 driver points and placed the veteran NASCAR driver and team co-owner on probation through the rest of the calendar year for his actions during Sunday's race at Phoenix. NASCAR officials cited Section 12-1 of the stock car racing association's rules ("actions detrimental to stock car racing"). Bowyer's crew chief, Brian Pattie, was fined $25,000 and place on probation through Dec. 31 for his part in the garage-area mayhem.
If you ask me, the sanctions against Gordon were not severe enough given the dangerous and dishonorable nature of his actions.
Let hope lessons were learned on both sides and that we won't see a retaliatory response from either driver when the Sprint Cup season and the 2012 Chase conclude next Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
In case you missed it, Kyle Busch dominated most of the Chase race on Sunday, leading 237 of the 319 total laps, but ended up finishing third behind Harvick and second-place Denny Hamlin. Boiwyer dropped from fifth to 28th after being wrecked by Gordon. The No, 24 car wound up in 30th position.

I ordered the magenta in medium, and the color is nice. I wear midi skirts, and the coat length and shape fits with that silhouette. It's warm (a little scratchy but lined on the inside), and I appreciate the waist and pockets. It fits well!
I ordered the pink variation of this coat, and am quite pleased with the cute color. It fits well (I ordered the large) though the shoulders are a bit tight. It is very warm and even keeps me comfortable on very cold winter days. The furry collar gives added warmth and is quite soft, but only a few days after receiving it, the elastic loop to attach the collar broke off. It is fixable, but unfortunate. The coat also has two nice, deep pockets. Very nice item, though it took over a month to arrive!
When the picture of the garment is better than the real product, there is a problem. This coat is such a case. The fabric looks like plastic. The shape of the design is good, but whoever picked the material to make it made a big mistake.
For the on-the-go career woman, time is of the essence. The China-based label, MOOIEE, understands this and in response created a line that fits seamlessly into the urban lifestyle.

THE DOZENS: ESSENTIAL BIX BEIDERBECKE by Brendan Wolfe
Bix Beiderbecke, artwork by Suzanne Cerny
Bix Beiderbecke (1903-1931) is, in the words of one critic, "jazz's Number One Saint." He died a gin-soaked and pathetic death in a stuffy Queens apartment house, screaming that Mexicans under his bed were trying to kill him. Yet he will always be remembered as the "Young Man with a Horn" – purity itself – that corny white kid from Iowa whose baby-faced picture has come to define the Roaring Twenties.
Bix was more than a legend, though. He was the brilliant stylistic counterpart to his friend Louis Armstrong. Against Satchmo's flamboyant virtuosity, Bix offered introverted lyricism. He kept his instrument close, bell pointed down, even while soloing. He rarely strayed beyond the middle range – Bix was no Icarus – and loved to experiment with new, modernist chord changes. Bix listened to Debussy, and Ravel is said to have listened to Bix.
Racial politics have intruded on too many discussions of Bix over the years, obscuring his music and his wide influence. Hoagy Carmichael, for instance, turned Bixian improvisations into "Stardust." Bing Crosby copied Bix's phrasing, and Lester Young and Miles Davis both adopted his "cool" style. This is all in spite of the fact that Bix left behind only a couple hundred recordings. Here are a dozen of the most essential.

This is Bix's first recording under his own name and includes musicians from the Jean Goldkette Orchestra, an organization that had just given Bix the boot for his poor sight-reading skills. On this date, though, sight-reading wasn't even an option. Bix was composing the piece as he went along and his friends did their best just to keep up. Although Bix's long, laid-back solo boasts nothing of the martial precision that would mark his best years, his grasp of melody is perfect. Even while improvising, he lends the tune wonderful shape and clarity. Don Murray provides effective counterpoint and, unfortunately, Tommy Dorsey doesn't have much to do. Still, the dreamy swing of Bix's playing undoubtedly helped to shape the Sentimental Gentleman's future.

Jean Goldkette had fired Bix for his poor reading skills, but later rehired him, forming the hottest white dance band of its day. After a nationwide tour, the "Famous Fourteen" squared off against Fletcher Henderson's post-Satchmo outfit in a legendary battle of the bands at New York's Roseland Ballroom. Henderson's cornetist Rex Stewart called the experience "humiliating," and it was partly due to audience favorites like "My Pretty Girl," which the band recorded a few months later. Bix retreats to the background as Polo on clarinet and Trumbauer on saxophone take a scorching lead, bowing out only briefly for Venuti's two fiddle breaks. The action, meanwhile, is driven by Brown's incomparable slap bass. "You know, Steve was even better known to more people at that time than Bix was," saxophonist Doc Ryker remembered.

Bix needed Louis (at least in retrospect) to define his style; he needed Trumbauer just to get through the day. The straight-and-narrow saxman, known to his friends as Tram, was the source of personal and professional stability for Bix, and when the two finally hooked up in the studio, they produced a masterpiece. It's easy to forget that Trumbauer's solo, which opens the number with unprecedented lyricism, was as important in its time as Bix's. "Trumbauer always told a little story," Lester Young explained. It was not about dancing, in other words, or virtuosity; it was about feeling. When Bix chimes in, jazz changed forever. Here was jazz's first balladeer. His solo, though improvised, feels like a finished composition – restrained, precise, and governed by melody instead of chord changes and tempo.

Set to wax earlier on the same day as "Singin' the Blues," "Clarinet Marmalade" is notable for a few reasons: Bix, for all of his legendary "cool," could run with the best of them. Here he blows at breakneck speed while remaining "surefooted as a mountain goat" (to quote Mezz Mezzrow), always sounding original, his tone nothing short of flawless. Note also a short interlude, just prior to Tram's solo, that borrows from Bix's composition "In a Mist." Bix wouldn't record the piano solo for seven more months, but it was clear that it was long in the works and that his ideas, at least in "Clarinet Marmalade," were an important part of Bill Challis' arrangements.

In this, his longest solo, Bix is at the height of his powers. He eschews the gutbucket growls and half-valves that were just becoming popular with Duke Ellington and instead digs deep into the melody. In true Impressionist style, with all the manly restraint of Henry James, he suggests rather than declaims the tune's dark melancholy, taking Trumbauer's solo – the handoff is just perfect – and gently refining it. His "correlated" phrases (Bix's term) build, one on top of the other, until Bix finally leaps up to a (relatively) high register and delivers what Richard Sudhalter rather dramatically described as "Caravaggio-like shafts of light."

Rating: 96/100 (learn more)
Compared to "I'm Coming, Virginia," "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans" is all light and Caravaggio. It's cheerful, down-tempo, even a bit wandering, taking its time to transition from Tram's more languid sax to Bix's brighter cornet. A bit more than halfway through his solo, Bix scoots up to a C-sharp, the highest note he ever recorded. This is the exception that proves the rule: Bix, whose mangled fingerings were of his own devising, liked to augment his chords but not the range of his instrument. Think of him as the playwright who creates tension by confining all the action inside a single, cramped apartment.

Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
The timing of "In a Mist" is off. Bix played the first take and it was too short; the second take ran long. It was not until Take 4 – when Tram, ever the housemother, helpfully tapped him on the shoulder – that he wrapped up in the allotted time. Unlike Goldilocks, however, he never got it just right. It still seems rushed. Bix had been working on these chords forever, combining the herky-jerky syncopations of jazz with flourishes reminiscent of Monet's Giverny. Still, as progressive as "In a Mist" was, it comes off nowadays as a bit clunky. Bix's true aspirations may not have been Satchmo-hood but a post at the New York Philharmonic; if so, he had a ways to go.

When the Goldkette outfit disbanded, Adrian Rollini rounded up a few Old Reliables for a gig at the Club New Yorker, which promptly went out of business. Bix, meanwhile, decided to ditch Tram and record under his own name again. On "Royal Garden Blues," a standard popularized by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band (and recorded by Bix's first band, the Wolverines), he leads the Gang with great confidence. Bix's close friend, the equally short-lived Don Murray, goes first, then the surprisingly nimble Rollini, who moans like a moose. Bill Rank swings and then wisely steps out of the way – here comes Bix. There's nothing fancy about his 12 bars, nothing French; they just arrive out of nowhere, effortless and astonishing.

Bix Beiderbecke: Sorry
Bix Beiderbecke And His Gang
Bix Restored, Vol. 2 (Origin Jazz Library BXCD 04-06 )
Bix Beiderbecke (cornet), Bill Rank (trombone), Don Murray (clarinet), Adrian Rollini (bass saxophone), Frank Signorelli (piano), Chauncey Morehouse (drums).
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
French biographer Jean Pierre Lion twice uses the word "astonishing" to describe "Sorry." Bix himself boasted, "I have never felt better on any recording date." And who's to argue? Although the tune may not have been Bix's fastest, it still manages to leave one breathless with its propulsive, toe-tapping hummability. An opening, grenade-burst staccato ignites Don Murray's 32-bar clarinet solo, and from there things only get better. When Bix finally enters, he pushes against the beat, rides above it, and then hangs back with a brilliant five-note off-the-beat run that defies notation.

Bix Beiderbecke: From Monday On
From Monday On
Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra (featuring Bix Beiderbecke)
Bix Restored, Volume 2 (Origin Jazz Library BXCD 04-06)
Bix Beiderbecke (cornet),
and a band featuring Charles Margulis (trumpet), Bill Rank (trombone), Harry Barris (piano), Steve Brown (bass), Bing Crosby, Charles Gaylord, Austin Young, Jack Fulton, Al Rinker (vocals).
Arranged by Matt Malneck. Composed by Harry Barris and Bing Crosby.
Recorded: Liederkranz Hall, New York, February 28, 1928
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Paul Whiteman was like a giant, mostly benign mothership that swallowed up available musicians like Bix and his buddies. However, his relentless touring and recording schedule quickly took a toll on Bix's health. The commercial pressure to record so many icky "sweet" tunes took its own toll, but that was mostly on later generations of critics. Bix just kept on improvising great solos, such as the one on "From Monday On." (Granted, "From Monday On," written by Bing Crosby and Harry Barris, isn't nearly as icky as much of the Whiteman material.) Bix recorded three extant takes over two sessions, and each of his performances is distinctive and memorable. Here, on Take 6, he cuts through Crosby and company's vocals like a swinging scythe.

Frank Trumbauer & Bix Beiderbecke: Borneo
Frank Trumbauer & His Orchestra (With Bix Beiderbecke)
Bix Restored, Volume 3 (Origin Jazz Library BXCD 07-09)
Frankie Trumbauer (C-melody saxophone), Bix Beiderbecke (cornet), Bill Rank (trombone), Eddie Lang (guitar),
Charlie Margulis (trumpet), Harold "Scrappy" Lambert (vocals).
Composed by Walter Donaldson.
Recorded: New York, April 10, 1928
Rating: 88/100 (learn more)
Bix and Tram were jazz's odd couple. Tram was all business; Bix, increasingly, was all drink. Tram insisted on playing from the charts; Bix, infuriatingly, was content to make it up as he went along. (Even after Bix's death, Trumbauer complained about how this caused him fits in the studio.) But team them up, even on silly novelty tunes like "Borneo," and the tension of their friendship yielded great results. Here they record, for the first time, one of their renowned "chase" choruses, with Bix improvising a statement and Tram fashioning a response. At the end, their instruments converge in a single moment of dissonance that feels both humorous and wryly appropriate.

Hoagy Carmichael & Bix Beiderbecke: Barnacle Bill the Sailor
Barnacle Bill the Sailor
Hoagy Carmichael And His Orchestra (With Bix Beiderbecke)
Bix Restored, Volume 4 (Origin Jazz Library BXCD 10-12 )
Hoagy Carmichael (pipe organ, vocals), Bix Beiderbecke (cornet), Bubber Miley (trumpet), Tommy Dorsey (trombone), Benny Goodman (clarinet), Joe Venuti (violin), Eddie Lang (guitar), Gene Krupa (drums).
Recorded: Liederkranz Hall, New York, May 21, 1930
Rating: 80/100 (learn more)
Records hardly get stranger than this. An integrated, all-star cast convenes to record a tune most of them thought was beyond stupid. In fact, Bix later told a friend he had had no idea the side would even be released. But release it RCA-Victor did – a Depression was on, after all – despite the fact that the musicians, led by trickster Joe Venuti, happily inserted profanity into the chorus. Bix, already a veteran of rehab, had been a stranger to the studio since fainting during a session the previous Fall. His 20-bar solo begins triumphantly and then ends, like his life soon would, a total mess. That Gene Krupa and Benny Goodman would take over for a turn that is tight and remarkably accomplished – well, that just makes sense.

In the summer of 1817 when explorer John Oxley and his botanist companion Cunningham, headed south from following the Lachlan River,they climbed Mt. Brogden in the Binya Hills to survey the land to the south.Oxley wrote in his journal:I believe I am the first white man to ever view this desolate landscape and believe I will likely be the last, there is little probability that these desolate plains will ever again be visited by civilized man.Twelve years later in 1829, when Charles Sturt was exploring the Murrumbidgee River he stopped near where Darlington Point now stands and following a short expedition to the north describes the Binya hills in the distance and notes in his journal:The area to the north of the river is a dry treeless plain unsuitable for habitation.
These two observant explorers were looking at what is today one of the richest and most productive food bowls in the world.It is the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, made possible by the vision of Politicians who over one hundred years ago, recognised that providing man invested in water conservation we could develop otherwise wastelands into fertile productive farmland supporting vibrant communities.This once desolate landscape, today produces on average every day of the year, 160 semitrailer loads of quality, fresh food ready for the Supermarkets of Australia.Every day of the year there is also on average a further two and a half trains of containerized food leaves the towns of Griffith and Leeton for markets around the world.
The Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area produces around three and a half billion dollars worth of quality, reliable fresh food every year and supports the thriving towns of Leeton and Griffith.This has been achieved during the last 90 years by a constant improvement in the management, irrigation techniques, fertility and productive capacity on these once barren plains and rather than destroying aquatic habitat, the irrigation industries have enhanced the prospects for all species native to this area.Leaders who had witnessed the devastation and totally dry rivers that accompanied the droughts of the 1860's and the late 1890's, were determined to conserve water at times of excess, for use in sustaining inland communities supported by the production of irrigated crops.
What they probably gave no thought to at the time, was the fact that as they did this they were also increasing the habitat and improving life for all aquatic species.Modern day commentators seem unaware that although there are over 30,000 so-called wetlands in the Murray-Darling Basin, that prior to modern mans intervention all of these "wetlands" were bone dry for extended periods between floods.While the wetlands exploded in a smorgasbord of life accompanied by a cacophony of sounds, following floods; this abundance quickly disappeared as the floods receded and several years, often over a decade or more of no floods followed.The vast majority of this food chain simply died.
The truth is that rather than mans intervention in the management of the rivers of the MDB being the cause of problems with the wetlands; the fact is that most of the near permanent wetlands of the lower MDB are maintained by man.City environmentalists and academics seem unable to accept or understand that our best and most permanent wetlands and ideal habitat for all native aquatic flora and fauna are the dams, weirs, irrigation storage lagoons and channels built and controlled by man.The research work done by the University of Canberra relating to the breeding of frogs in rice paddies in the Riverina supports this argument; a fact that has been recognized by everyone that has worked or lived in the irrigated agricultural environment for decades.
This man-made water storage (wetland) is part of the Mirrool Creek that has its source near Cootamundra in the foothills of the Great Divide and ultimately flows into the Lachlan River.
Along its course through the MIA there are numerous managed wetlands that are home to thousands of water birds all feeding off the aquatic food chain that has become part of this unimaginable picture to the first white men to gaze across this once uninhabitable landscape.

text: Opposition to ride-sharing companies goes global Opposition to ride-sharing companies goes global Associated Press photo by PAUL WHITE -- A demonstrator kicks a car, suspected to be a private taxi during a 24-hour taxi strike and protest Wednesday in Madrid, Spain. The taxi drivers were protesting unregulated competition from private ride-sharing companies, in particular Uber. Kim Lyons| Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Comments To earn his license to drive one of London's famed black car taxis, Ian Beetlestone had to memorize 20,000 streets in a 6-mile radius and undergo a rigorous training process — learning the famed Knowledge of London in a process that spanned several years, as anyone who seeks to drive a taxi in London does. So when American ride-sharing company Uber tried to move into the U.K. city with a smartphone application that connects riders with drivers using their own cars, taxi drivers and train workers across Europe united in protest Wednesday, refusing to pick up fares and driving slowly to create widespread gridlock. "It's not just about Uber, but that was the straw that broke the camel's back," Beetlestone said. Taxis are the only ride-for-hire entities allowed to use a meter in London, and the primary argument against Uber is that its smartphone app behaves like a meter, calculating the fare that riders pay based on distance of a trip. Uber and other ride-sharing companies popping up around the globe have yet to move into an area where they did not face significant resistance from regulators and established taxi companies. Exactly what form that resistance has taken has varied. American cities and states have handled the disruptive technology in different fashion. Virginia earlier this month issued a cease-and-desist order against Uber and Lyft, and last week Pennsylvania slapped daily fines of $1,000 on each company for operating in Pittsburgh. Even though Colorado's governor recently signed legislation to allow ride-sharing companies to operate, taxi and insurance officials resisted Lyft and Uber when they first arrived. Dave Sutton is a spokesman for Who's Driving You, a public safety initiative of the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association, a Maryland-based trade group representing 1,100 taxi companies. The group's primary position is that ride-sharing companies avoid regulation to the public's detriment, skirting rules requiring commercial insurance, and painting taxi companies as outdated monopolies. "The biggest myth, or stereotype, is this idea that taxi companies are an entrenched industry," Sutton said. "Uber likes to promote this idea of a big conglomerate when the reality is the opposite: Most taxi companies are small mom-and-pop companies that follow the rules." The European protests this week may have proved a boon for Uber; the company reported downloads of its smartphone app were up 850 percent over the previous Wednesday. "Europeans overwhelmingly voted with their fingertips by riding Uber, downloading Uber and standing up for more consumer choice," the San Francisco company said in a statement. The main point of contention in London is the distinction between the black car taxis, which anyone can hail on a street and which use meters to determine fares, and minicabs, with which passengers call a central dispatcher to obtain a ride. Uber's app circumvents both processes, Beetlestone said. Transport for London, the regulatory body, is seeking a ruling from the high court to determine Uber's status. Lyft is not yet operating in Europe. Whatever the outcome, Beetlestone was heartened by Wednesday's action. "It was good for the trade itself to see that it still cared about this, that we were all able to come together." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

It's kinda a C# dim stuck on top of an F# dim. Arranged around a bit, I guess an Edim7 (E,G,Bb, Db) with an added m6 and 9th (C and F#) - Edim7m6/9, I guess, if you had to call it something.
The F# dim at the bottom is a good substitution for a B7 chord (it inverts to a Cdim7, which is essentially a B7 with the root moved up a half step, suggesting a B7b9 if you arpeggiate it over a B in the bass), so it could be used as that, with some rather tense upper extensions. Is this what you do with it? The C#dim at the top is a good substitution for an A7 (it inverts to a Bbdim7, which is essentially an A7b9), but with the F#dim in the bass you've got some VERY tense half-step intervals present - C and C# (major and minor 3rds), Bb and A (b9 and implied root)... Youd be looking at something like an A7b9#9 (as the m3 would have to be described as a 9th, not a 3rd), which is just a harmonic mess. It might work, but I'd want to hear it.
You use this over the B, then, in an E blues, right?

Someone once said, "There are only two kinds of people in the world, The Irish and those who wish they were." On St. Patrick's Day we all feel a kindred spirit to our Irish friends; we wear green, drink green Guinness, Smithwicks, Kilkenny or Harp, and celebrate with stories and songs. The pubs are decked out with shamrocks, serve Irish fare and play Irish tunes. (more…)

As a little Irish Colleen growing up in Ireland, here's some of the things I remember and was told about St Patrick's Day; wearing green, pining some shamrock "the real stuff" to our jackets, painting our cheeks, heading out as a family to watch the "St Patrick's Day parade," having fun making noise (but not me, I'm a good girl NOT). After the parade we couldn't wait to get home for that yummy Irish Stew. You could smell it as soon as you walked in the house and of course those green cupcakes for dessert. Mum made the best. Oh and watching the Darby O'Gill and the little people movie. (got to say that banshee was always scary) (more…)

Lalanne Leads UMass Past Elon, 84-74
Jan. 18, 2014
Box Score
ELON, N.C. - Cady Lalanne scored 16 points in the first hald and Chaz Williams scored 20 points in the second half to lead No. 16/15 Massachusetts past Elon, 84-74, at Alumni Gym on Saturday night.
UMass (16-1) won its sixth-consecutive game and defeated the Phoenix for the third-straight season.
Lalanne finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and a pair of blocks for his eighth double-double of the year. Maxie Esho was very efficient off the bench as he finished with 17 points - one shy of his career-high - making 7-of-10 from the floor while adding seven rebounds.
Williams also had four assists and passed Edgar Padilla for third all-time in school history. He now has 598 assists in 87 games as a Minuteman.
UMass shot 47 percent from the floor and was 26-of-35 from the free throw line.
The Minutemen outscored the Phoenix 38-18 in the paint and converted 14 offensive rebounds into a 15-10 edge in second chance points. UMass had a 45-32 edge on the glass.
UMass scored the first seven points of the game and never looked back, leading by as many as 14 midway through the first half. They led 41-30 at the break.
Elon got to within nine five times in the first 10 minutes of the second half and seven four times later on, but UMass had an answer for every challenge. The Phoenix opened the period making just 3-of-15.
Elon (10-9) lost for just the second time in nine home games and was hosting a ranked opponent for the first time in school history. Lucas Troutman had 19 points to lead the Phoenix. They were 9-of-24 from outside.
UMass will return to Atlantic 10 play on Wednesday when it travels to Richmond. Tipoff at Robins Center is set for 7 p.m.

WVU Mascot Pays Hunting Citation
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on December 27, 2012 @ 6:44PM
Created on December 27, 2012 @ 12:58PM
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia University mascot Jonathan Kimble says he has paid a $20 hunting citation and he hopes the issue is in the past.
The Division of Natural Resources cited Kimble for failure to wear blaze orange when he killed a black bear in Pendleton County on Dec. 3 with the musket that's part of his costume.
Kimble told The Dominion Post that he paid the fine last week.
The kill was legal but it triggered an outcry after Kimble posted a video online. The musket can fire ammunition but it fires only gunpowder at WVU events.
Kimble has since agreed to stop hunting with the musket.

Today's recipe is a special drink that has cranberry juice, alcohol and more. Try this concoction called ' Cranberry Orange Gin Fizz with Thyme' If you are under age then just remove the alcohol contents and your good to go. You can add any kind of juice you want such as Pineapple or Apple juice. Make sure all the ingredients are shook well. If you have frequent heart burn then you probably shouldn't have it due to the acidity from the orange juice. Here is the recipe link http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/drinks/cranberry-orange-gin-fizz-with-thyme/
Most Boston bars in Boston, Massachusetts don't have a name for this particular drink. If you write down all the ingredients I'm sure they can make it for you!
