This is the 15th meeting between the Bruins and the Fighting Irish. UCLA won the last meeting in South Bend, Ind., in epic fashion, posting an 86-83 win in double overtime at Notre Dame on Nov. 18, 2010. UCLA senior guard Darxia Morris scored five points in the second overtime and came up with a big steal in the final seconds to help No. 15 UCLA beat No. 12 Notre Dame. Forward Jasmine Dixon had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Bruins. Morris added 17 and Markel Walker 16 for UCLA. Skylar Diggins led Notre Dame with 22 points and Natalie Novosel added 19 in a contest which saw 12 ties and 18 lead changes in all. Markel Walker led all scorers with 21 points and added nine rebounds, four steals and three assists in last year's 76-64 home loss to No. 5 Notre Dame on Nov. 23. Freshman Jewell Loyd led the Irish with 19 points and seven rebounds. The Bruins outrebounded the Irish 39-38 and had fewer turnovers (20-18), but were outshot from all areas of the floor. The Bruins were without the services of starting guard, Thea Lemberger, who missed the game due to a knee sprain.
This year UCLA will have the distinction of having the first televised conference game when they host USC on Dec. 30, 2013 (7:00 p.m.) and the last televised conference game on March 2, 2014 when they visit Utah (1:00 p.m.). The Bruins will be making a total of 18 television appearances, the most in school history, during the 2013-14 regular season.
UCLA was selected to finish fifth in both the Pac-12 conference's preseason coaches and media polls. Stanford was picked to finish first, followed by California, Colorado and Washington. After the Bruins, USC was selected to finish sixth, followed by Utah and Oregon State.
The Bruins can boast of having one of the toughest schedules in the country as four of the first eight games have been against teams ranked in the top 12 (at #12/17 Nebraska, vs. #12/14 North Carolina, vs. #10/13 Oklahoma and at #4/5 Notre Dame).
In the Bruins' 78-68 setback to No. 12 North Carolina, UCLA had three players record double-doubles (Atonye Nyingifa - 18 pts., 11 rebs.; Nirra Fields - 12 pts., 10 rebs.; Lauren Holiday - 10 pts., 11 rebs.). They became the first trio of Bruins to record a double-double in the same game in over 23 years. In a 79-65 home win over Oregon on Feb. 23, 1990, Sandra VanEmbricqs (22 pts., 14 rebs.), Michele Wooton (17 pts., 10 rebs.) and Rehema Stephens (12 pts., 10 rebs.) were the last to pull off that feat.
UCLA forward Atonye Nyingifa (Torrance, Calif.) established or tied six career-highs in leading the Bruins to an 82-76 upset win over No. 10/13 Oklahoma at Pauley Pavilion on Nov. 24 and was named Pac-12 Player of the Week. Nyingifa tied her career-best with a game-high 28 points with career-bests in free throws made (12) and free throws attempted (15). She completed her second straight double-double against a ranked team with a career-high 16 rebounds, including six on the offensive glass. The sixth-year senior also handed out a career-high six assists, added three steals and one block against the Sooners. The win over Oklahoma was UCLA's 700th victory in program history.
In UCLA's 82-78 home win over Pepperdine (Nov. 11), the Bruins had three players score 20 or more points in the same game (Thea Lemberger 25 pts., Atonye Nyingifa 24 pts., Nirra Fields 20 pts.). It marked the first time since a 91-58 home win over Oregon State on Jan. 31, 2004 (Noelle Quinn 24 pts., Nikki Blue 23 pts., Lisa Willis 21 pts.) that that feat has been matched.
The Bruins have already lost two key players for the season as they will be without sophomore guard Kari Korver (4.7 ppg, 1.5 rpg) and junior forward Kacy Swain (3.1 ppg, 3.0 rpg). Both suffered torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) within a week of each other. Korver also had a tear in her lateral meniscus.
UCLA only ranks in the Top 100 in the country as a team in one statistical category, coming in at No. 55 in turnovers per game (14.4). Only two players are ranked in the Top 100 in the country. Senior guard Thea Lemberger ranks No. 86 in free throw percentage (.860, 37-for-43) and senior forward Atonye Nyingifa ranks No. 94 in scoring 18.1 points per game.
Head Coach Cori Close enters her third year with the Bruins after guiding UCLA to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last year and a Pac-12 Tournament runner-up finish. She sports an overall record of 43-28 (.606).

|Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Kroyer) are a major pathogen of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). To obtain a better understanding of the host-parasite relationship, we compared protease secretions of L. salmonis into mucus collected from susceptible hosts (Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss), a resistant salmonid (coho salmon, O. kisutch) and a non-salmonid (winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus). Protease zymography of mucus from these fish following incubation with live lice revealed the presence of L. salmonis-derived low molecular weight proteases more frequently in Atlantic salmon and rainbow trout, compared to coho salmon or flounder (P<0.05). The differences in L. salmonis protease secretion in response to mucus from different host species may partially explain why coho salmon are more resistant to infection..

OCEANPORT, N.J. (AP) — Wild Bout Tiffany scored a two-length victory over Belarus in the $50,000 first-level allowance feature Friday at Monmouth Park.
Ridden by Elvis Trujillo, Wild Bout Tiffany covered the 512 furlongs on the turf in 55 1-5. The 3-year-old filly by Wildcat Heir returned $14.60, $7 and $5 in capturing her first start on the grass.
Belarus rallied for second and returned $4.60 and $3. Cecilia's Song was three lengths farther back in third and paid $8.60.
The win was the fourth in nine lifetime starts for Wild Bout Tiffany, who has now earned $102,766.

If anyne could give me some help with this, it will be deeply appreciated:
Let $X$ be a set equipped with the action of some group $G$. Denote by $Aut_G(X)$ the set of $G-equivariant$ bijections $f: X \to X$ and take for granted that this is a group under composition.
If we let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$ and let $X = G/H$ equipped with the usual G-action (i.e. left multiplication), is it possible to find an isomorphism between $Aut_G(X)$ and $N_G(H)/H$, with $N_G(H)$ being the normalizer of $H$?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.

Every woman wants to look perfect on their special day, and LaTonya made sure I did not leave her salon without a strand of hair out of place.
LaTonya is kind, extremely flexible, reasonably priced, and cares about the health of your scalp and hair. After working with her I don't think I could have another set of hands in my hair.

IRS Commissioner: AMT Would Hit 60 Million Taxpayers Without Patch
WASHINGTON – Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today released the following statement in response to a letter from the Internal Revenue Service. In the letter, Acting Commissioner Miller stated that, if Congress fails to extend the traditional Alternative Minimum Tax patch, approximately 60 million Americans could be affected and about 33 million taxpayers could pay the AMT for tax year 2012.
"Congress must act now to address our unfinished business and give middle-class families certainty by extending this expiring relief," said Ways and Means Ranking Member Sander Levin. "Just as there is no reason not to extend the middle class tax cuts immediately, there is no reason Congress does not act on a bipartisan basis as it has in the past to fix the AMT. The consequences of inaction would be enormous for millions of middle class taxpayers. Extending AMT relief will prevent a substantial and unexpected tax increase on millions of Americans."
Excerpts from Acting Commissioner Steven Miller's letter:
"At these [current] levels, approximately 33 million taxpayers would pay AMT for tax year 2012 (with returns filed in the spring of 2013). This is about 28 million more taxpayers who would pay the AMT than if the exemption amounts were increased as in the past."
"Taken together, the changes to the AMT exemption amount and the special tax credit ordering rules could affect more than 60 million taxpayers - nearly half of all individual income tax filers."
"Because of the magnitude and complexity of the changes, it is entirely possible that these taxpayers would not be able to file until late March 2013, if not even later. Tens of millions of these taxpayers would unexpectedly have to pay additional income tax for 2012, leaving them with a balance due return or a much smaller refund than expected. For millions of other taxpayers, refunds would be delayed."

I had the thrilling opportunity recently to sit down for a conversation with Kaya Henderson, the Chancellor of D.C. Public Schools. She was in an exceedingly positive mood on this morning perhaps because later that day she and Mayor Vincent Gray were to announce that the 2013 Trial Urban Assessment would show that her school system boasted the highest amount of growth of any urban district in the country. From the December 18, 2013 press release:
"Overall, DCPS students grew by five points in 4th-grade reading, eight points in 8th-grade reading, seven points in 4th-grade math and five points in 8th-grade math. This growth represents the highest scores DCPS students have ever seen on this test."
With these results as a backdrop I asked the Chancellor how she would gauge traditional public schools in the nation's capital. "We are growing extremely strong," Ms. Henderson commented without even a millisecond of hesitation. The Chancellor continued, "Our children have significantly improved access to better educational opportunities. We still, however, have a long way to go. I am proud of where we are today. As the Trial Urban Assessment data illustrates we are the only large urban district to demonstrate academic gains on the NAEP examination across all grade levels in English and math. We are making really excellent progress."
I then inquired as to what she believes has led to the advancement she describes. Ms. Henderson listed three initiatives.
First, she explained that DCPS has a relentless focus on recruiting and retaining quality teachers. The DCPS Chancellor stated emphatically that great teachers and great principals are the key to raising academic achievement. She credited the IMPACT evaluation system for allowing DCPS to identify those instructors that are performing at a high level.
Ms. Henderson also attributed the success of her schools to the implementation of the Common Core Curriculum. She revealed that her schools' curriculum is now aligned with the new standards. The Chancellor commented that as a system we cannot really set the high expectations we have established without knowing exactly where we are trying to go.
The last critical ingredient for academic improvement the Chancellor identified as professional development. Ms. Henderson detailed that DCPS recognized early that supporting teachers was key to success. DCPS is now working on expanding their enlightened pedagogical support. "To complete the quality picture," she commented, "we need to allow individuals to grow as teachers. Professional development is as important of a component of DCPS' human capital strategies as recruitment and evaluation are." The foundation of their program is the IMPACT evaluation. The tool allows her team to see where teachers need additional assistance.
Ms. Henderson explained that help can come in many forms. An instructional coach can work one-on-one with a teacher. In addition, a coach may provide a teacher with six week individual learning cycles which are focused, evidence based, and aligned to the Common Core Curriculum. Additionally, there are workshops offered on various topics. Moreover, Ms. Henderson stated, there may be a book that can provide value in enhancing a particular skill that we have already reserved at a local library for the instructor to check out. Ms. Henderson said that IMPACT can also shine a light on system-wide areas that are in need of improvement and these subjects are then covered on professional development days.
Ms. Henderson had some additional points she wanted to make on this topic. "I don't know if people realize what a big shift it is going to the Common Core. It is radically different from the way we have done things in the past. It is imperative that we provide support to our teachers regarding this change. In the past, a Kindergarten through 12th grade education involved imparting a series of facts. But facts are not constant. Our students need to be able to take in information and employ it in different ways. They will need to be able to use knowledge beyond demonstrating basic skills. The task for teachers is urgent and we have to be careful in preparing them for their new roles. "
I brought up Amanda Ripley's book The Smartest Kids in the World and How They Got That Way [Simon & Schuster, 2013] that Ms. Henderson referenced in her recent State of the D.C. Public Schools address. In this work Ms. Ripley discusses the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examination which attempts to measures students' cognitive ability. I asked Ms. Henderson if the education paradigm she was discussing was similar to the ones that some countries have adopted that have resulted in pupils scoring high on this assessment. The Chancellor enthusiastically nodded her head in agreement. "Philosophically, this is exactly how we are approaching the education of our kids. We now measure academic achievement using the DC CAS or NAEP standardized tests. We need to move beyond the DC CAS. I'm confident that the PARCC that is replacing the DC CAS is a good measure of student progress but I would love to additionally develop our own PISA-like examination."
I asked Ms. Henderson if she was impatient at all about the pace of raising the academic achievement of her students. "I'm wildly impatient," the Chancellor answered. "But this type of improvement doesn't happen overnight. Look at Poland, whose kids now rank near the top of all countries taking the PISA examination. Thirteen years ago they were close to the bottom. It simply takes time to change expectations of all of our stakeholders."
I then inquired of Ms. Henderson how she would know when her efforts had been successful. She pointed me to DCPS' strategic plan entitled "A Capital Commitment" which contains five goals to be reached by the 2016 to 2017 term.
1. Improve achievement rates: at least 70 percent of students will be proficient in math and reading,
2. Invest in struggling schools: the 40 lowest performing schools will increase proficiency rates by 40 percentage points,
3. Improve satisfaction: 90 percent of students will say they like their school,
4. The number of advanced students will double to more than 3,800 in reading and more than 4,700 in math, and
5. At least 75 percent of entering 9th graders will graduate high school in four years.
The Chancellor has obviously set the bar high. In order to reach these objectives, one step Ms. Henderson related she took was to close 13 under-enrolled schools last year. She indicated that the move allowed her to greatly enhance her system's investment in elementary schools by adding classes in foreign language, art, and music.
Ms. Henderson is keeping a close eye on meeting the strategic plan. The Chancellor stated that along with creating these expectations for her public schools each department has five year goals consistent with the overall mission "to ensure that every DCPS school provides a world-class education that prepares ALL of our students, regardless of background or circumstance, for success in college, career, and life." Progress in assessed throughout the year with seven managers overseeing various aspects of the plan. Annual reports provide a measuring stick of advancement.
I concluded my time with Ms. Henderson by asking her about her proposal to charter her own schools. I questioned whether she would be emulating the model established by the D.C. Public Charter School Board. Here is where I felt the discussion became particularly intriguing.
Ms. Henderson explained that charter schools were established so that those involved in public education could learn from their successes. The Chancellor stated that she wants to be able to take advantage of the lessons they have amassed. But instead of having one structure for the way charters would be granted within DCPS she said that she is open to many different formulations. For example, she said that if Achievement Prep wanted to open a school and they are successful having a school leader reporting to a board of directors then she is not going to interfere with what is already working. Alternatively, other charter operators may have performed strongly by taking over a traditional facility operating according to established procedures. Ms. Henderson offered that she is trying to think outside the box and to have as her only criteria for her method of chartering that which results in strong academic performance for her students.
After listening to the words of Ms. Henderson and witnessing in person her intense passion for her work I am absolutely convinced that the Chancellor will reach her goals.

Social Justice Activist Dies at 58
Thursday, July 29, 2010
Category: News > Obituaries
Ronald Stevenson III, a UC Berkeley alumnus and social justice activist best known for founding the Break the Cycle Program and working with disadvantaged youth in Berkeley, died on July 19 from a brain aneurysm. He was 58.
The political climate in Berkeley during the 1960s and Martin Luther King Jr.'s message fueled Stevenson's social justice activism, according to his daughter Sonia Waters.
"Ronnie was a force of nature," said Pedro Noguera, professor of education at New York University and former president of the Graduate Assembly and ASUC. "People who disagreed with him came to respect him because they knew he was motivated by a genuine drive to do good in the world."
Stevenson was an early member of the Black Panther Party, working in the free breakfast program in Oakland at age 16. As president of the Black Student Union at Berkeley High School, he worked to secure one of the first high school African American studies departments in the nation.
Stevenson continued his activism at UC Berkeley in 1983 where, as a re-entry student at age 31 with three children, he founded many campus organizations, including the Break the Cycle program.
The program, which ran for over 20 years in Berkeley, Oakland and Richmond with funding from the university and city, hired undergraduates to tutor at-risk elementary and middle school students with a focus on mathematics.
"He developed a curriculum that was proven to work, and it was really one of the best programs I've seen," said state Senator Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, who was mayor of the city at the time. "Everyone benefited - the students at every level, not just the ones being tutored."
She said she shared elements of the program with the U.S. Department of Education when she worked there during the Clinton Administration.
In 1985, Stevenson worked with the Martin Luther King Convocation - another student group he founded - to name the ASUC Student Union and Plaza after King. He also led efforts to change the name of Grove Street to Martin Luther King Jr. Way.
Stevenson founded the United People of Color organization the same year to support the anti-apartheid movement, which asked the UC to divest money from companies doing business in South Africa.
After graduating with a degree in African American studies in 1990, Stevenson became a lecturer in the department.
He also continued community work by creating the Racial and Ethnic Sharing Providing Empowerment to Our Community Today program, or R.E.S.P.E.C.T., in 1996, which allowed youth from South Berkeley to meet with police officers on a weekly basis to discuss racial profiling.
"They did workshops where they would get to know each other, so there wasn't so much of a divide," said Ronald Stevenson IV, Ronald Stevenson III's son. "It helped build relationships that were positive with the police."
Stevenson also founded the Berkeley Guides program, which pays students and members of the community to provide additional security in downtown Berkeley by reporting crimes and giving free walks home from the BART station.
Stevenson is survived by his wife Linda and their three children Sonia Waters, Tania Jean Stevenson and Ronald Stevenson IV. A service will be held in his honor August 13 in the Alumni House at UC Berkeley from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Bacon Pancake Dippers
Martha Christian @marthalc
My family usually eats their bacon first and then wants more when they get to the main breakfast food. This way, they can have both at the same time. You can always freeze some to warm up later for a quick snack or breakfast.
- pancake mix
- center cut bacon
- syrup
Directions Step-By-Step
2Mix pancake batter according to package directions, making desired amount of pancakes. Will need enough batter to match the amount of bacon slices.
3Pour batter into a squeeze bottle with a big enough hole for the batter to pour from. I use an inexpensive plastic red picnic ketchup bottle.
5Squirt batter in a long oval shape a little longer and wider than the bacon and place a slice of cooked bacon in the center. Lightly press bacon into the batter.
6Squeeze more batter over the bacon. I just make a wiggle line over the bacon. This is to protect the bacon from the griddle when you turn the pancake dipper over.

Microsoft's Fuse Labs has released their collection of "Social Gadgets", a few interactive widgets that analyze Twitter Streams. Above, see their "Tag Cloud" visualization of a search for "VizWorld".
FUSE Labs' SocialGadgets are a set of embeddable widgets that visualize Twitter real-time data. Each gadget focuses on a given keyword and displays its volume of usage over time. Mentioned entities such as people, locations, companies and noun phrases are identified and visually represented. The gadgets are interactive, letting users explore the relationships between topics publically shared on Twitter. By focusing on patterns and trends, the gadgets can extrapolate what people find important, and provide a succinct yet effective way to look at events as they are unfolding.
Now, I'll cut them some slack because 1) it's new, and 2) it's still kinda beta.. But I easily see several issues:
My only guess is that they are unable to really keep up with all the data coming out of Twitter, so they must be missing large chunks. That or their algorithms are completely hosed.
Either way, go check out their gadgets and see what your results are, and share in the comments! Is "vizworld" an isolated case?

Phantom Pleasures
Julie Leto
April 2008, Ghost Romance
Signet Eclipse, $6.99, 316 pages, Amazon ASIN 0451223659
I like ghost stories. And, even if this one is a bit plot-y, its still a fun read.
Gazillionaire hotel owner Alexa learns she has in her family portfolio a German castle rebuilt during the 1940s on an isolated island off the coast of Florida. Always mysteriously drawn to castles not to even mention her recurring fantasies of a ghostly lover Alexa overcomes the obstacles and finds a way to get herself deposited on the island for a few hours to explore her new holding. While there, she discovers the castles secret: Damon Forsyth, an 18th century English lord, has been held prisoner there for more than 350 years by the magic of an e-e-e-v-i-l sorcerer.
Somehow Alexa brings him to life or at least makes him corporeal by touching the portrait and lickety-split the two have hot sex. Theres a powerful and possibly mystical connection between the two, see, so the instant sex kinda makes sense.
But Damon is still somehow in the thrall of that e-e-e-v-i-l sorcerer and it turns out Alexa just might be, too. Its all got something to do with a necklace that Alexas e-e-e-v-i-l brother (and you can tell hes e-e-e-v-i-l by page 18 because he says something with a sneer) gave her that was supposed to protect her, but does it really? And then theres some other e-e-e-v-i-l types out there who also want the necklace and the power and all that stuff, too.
Remember, I said it was plot-y. And it is. Too, too, too much, quite honestly. Because and I know youll never believe it but this one is the first in a new series and its going to take a few books for all this e-e-e-v-i-l sorcerer and his minions stuff to get sorted out.
On the positive side, the connection between Alexa and Damon is fun and sort of believable. On the negative, there is w-a-a-a-y too much going on with the charms and this bad group and that other bad group and a secondary romance featuring Alexas best friend and an Indiana Jones type guy. I had a hard time keeping track of it all, to tell you the truth.
The prose style here is also not subtle. Those times in life when somebody actually sneers are really pretty rare, but theres enough sneering in this one that I actually got distracted by trying to come up with TV's Number One All Time Sheer-er and, after some deliberation, I settled on Major Frank Burns.
All in all, though, I enjoyed Phanton Pleasures on a sort of B-movie level. I cant say Ill stick around for more, but this one was a lively enough read.

|Offensive Lineman
|San Francisco, Calif.
|High School:
|Lowell/City College of San Francisco
|1 Letter
AT COLORADO: 2006 (Sr.)�Had not seen action in the first three games of the season, but when three-year starter Mark Fenton went down with a broken leg early in the Georgia game, he was pressed into action and responded well. He would play the last 50 snaps of that game and then start the next seven, seeing action for 453 offensive plays for the season. Though the backup long snapper, he was never called upon in that role. In the postseason, he was invited to play in the Hula Bowl All-Star game. He practiced at both center and guard in the spring, and actually had entered the fall listed second at left guard on the depth chart.
2005 (Jr.)�He saw action in nine games (no starts, all regular season), appearing in eight games as a backup center and one other on the FG/PAT unit on special teams (four snaps). In 62 snaps from scrimmage, he graded out with a 2.42 average on a 0-4 point per play system and had two knockdown blocks. He enrolled at CU in time for the spring semester and thus participated in spring drills.
JUNIOR COLLEGE (Fr./Soph., 2003-04)�He lettered twice at center at the City College of San Francisco. A first-team all-NorCal Conference performer during those years under coach George Rush, he started all 24 games and helped lead the Rams to a combined two-year record of 23-1. He only allowed one quarterback sack as a sophomore as CCSF went on to claim its fifth-straight conference championship with an 11-1 record. In 2003, CCSF was crowned conference and
HIGH SCHOOL�He lettered three years in football playing on the offensive line and at defensive tackle. Very impressively, he never gave up a sack during his entire three-year varsity career, as he was a team captain in 2001 and 2002, while also being named the team's outstanding lineman both seasons. As a senior, he garnered first-team all-metro and all-city accolades to help pave the way for

We know you Northern girls are not going to feel sorry for us, but those of us living in Southern California don't have much opportunity to wear winter coats. "Oh, boo hoo," you say. Hear us out here; we sometimes miss them (especially those of us who went to college in the deep, deep snows of Michigan). So, for those of you who are lucky enough to get to slip into a lovely winter coat take a look at this Mackage Wood-Blend Coat ($598). How great would you look?
This is a gorgeous coat. But if 600 isn't in your budget, check out bluefly.com for a good selection of Mackage coats at more budget friendly prices. There are a couple that are similar. I do not work for b-fly.

Let's forget about Ghostbusters 3 for a minute, and while we're at it let's pretend Ghostbusters II never happened. The original Ghosbutsers is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and to celebrate one of the most iconic comedies in movie history the film is being re-released into theaters this Friday, August 29th, fully restored and remastered. I can scarcely think of a better way to spend a couple of hours this weekend. The film is also going to play at the Toronto International Film Festival as part of a Bill Murray tribute, and basically this a good time to be a Ghostbusters fan.
So that means it's time for the Screen Junkies to crap all over it with one of their patented Honest Trailers. Yep, it's time for Ghostbusters to get a hard and honest tearing down, but really this one is pretty tame compared to the harsh treatment terrible movies receive. Unless you're Ernie Hudson, then this might sting a little.
Check out the Honest Trailer for Ghostbusters below. For a list of theaters showing Ghostbusters this weekend, go here.

Mr. Gray's early life is not well documented. Different sources give the year of his birth as 1940, 1942 or 1943, though all agree on the date of Sept. 26. His given name has been reported as Leonard Victor Ainsworth and Lawrence Darrow Brown. By all accounts he was born into a sharecropper family outside Houston, in Brookshire or Simonton, Tex.
Mr. Reneau said that as far as he knew Mr. Gray, who never married, was 71, and that his survivors included a sister and a brother. No immediate family member could be reached. In interviews, Mr. Gray credited his Baptist minister grandfather with sparking his interest in singing.
Mr. Gray left Texas in the early 1960s for Los Angeles, where he worked with Sonny Bono, then an executive with Specialty Records. He made several records under the names Leonard Ainsworth, Larry Curtis and Larry Dennis. He adopted the name Dobie Gray sometime before he recorded his first hit, "Look at Me," in 1963.
After his career was revived by "Drift Away," Mr. Gray used his fame to help support political causes. He campaigned for Jimmy Carter in his 1976 presidential race, and although he toured in Europe and Australia, he agreed to perform in South Africa only after winning a government dispensation allowing him to play before integrated audiences, according to his Web site.
Mr. Gray left Los Angeles for Nashville in 1978 and began writing and performing country music there. His singing career never took off in Nashville, but he became a prolific writer of songs for other artists, including John Conlee ("Got My Heart Set on You"), Ray Charles ("Over and Over, Again"), Julio Iglesias ("If I Ever Needed You") and George Jones ("Come Home to Me").

Wait a Second... Part4"Zim...." A quiet voice broke the dark silence.Wait a Second... Part4 by Zkiss018
The green alien turned around to see Gaz standing a few feet away from him. She had a depressing expression on her face. "Yes, Gaz-human?" Zim tried his hardest to be content.
Gaz looked down before speaking again. "Is it okay for me to stay here? ...I never really asked."
'She's just a child, Zim.' The alien thought to himself. After all, Gaz was only 14 years old.
"Of course."
The sun began to peek through the windows. Morning had officially arrived.
"Dib won't be looking for you, will he?"
"I don't care," Gaz's normal, harsh tone came back.
Zim didn't know much about Gaz, except that she's Dib's little sister, she's about two years younger than him, and she loved video games. He didn't know anything specific, like her favourite colour, favourite movie, if she even liked music, or even her birthday.

The local authorities are often criticized, sometimes perhaps playfully but other times with ill feelings, for their style of law enforcement.
"Why would Park City police officers or Summit County deputies spend their hours patrolling for speeders on busy roads?" is one of the common refrains.
But people this week should be grateful for the diligent work of the Park City Police Department and the Summit County Sheriff's Office in a narcotics case that may have shocked those few who, wrongly, still see area crime as being of little consequence.
The two agencies joined law enforcement in the Salt Lake Valley in an operation that was centered in Prospector targeting a suspected methamphetamine ring. Three people were arrested as the operation was sprung. Seventeen pounds of methamphetamine, a stunning amount for a Park City bust, was seized. The authorities discovered nearly $17,000 in cash.
The amount of the methamphetamine that was seized is disturbing, far more so than the amount of cash. The drug was presumed to be destined for the streets of the region, including the Park City area, and the damage it could have left behind is tremendous.
Even more disturbing, though, according to the law enforcement officials, is that the case is linked to a violent Mexican cartel. If that is found to be the case, the authorities face a challenge greater than some may have realized, even in Park City.
The manner of the investigation and the arrests offer encouragement that law enforcement understands the severity of a case like the one that has been outlined against the suspects.
The cooperation needs to continue beyond the case in Prospector, and the officials have said as much. Future investigations will hopefully be modeled after the one announced this week even as the circumstances of the cases change.
The methamphetamine case in Park City, regardless, shows that police officers and sheriff's deputies are conducting the investigations they need to even as a regular person might only see them pulling over drivers.

Aug. 25, 2000
LOS ANGELES -- UCLA senior-to-be Shakedia Jones has been added to the U. S. Olympic women's track and field team as a member of the 4 X 100m relay pool. With her selection, there are now 10 UCLA track and field athletes who will be competing for the U. S. team at the 2000 Summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia from Sept. 22-30.
It is from the relay pools that final relay lineups will be selected. For each round of the Olympics, Team USA Coaches must name six athletes from the relay pool as possible participants for that particular round. No more than two of the six names may be changed after the first round. Selection to the relay pool and final relay lineups are at the discretion of Team USA coaches. It is important to note that inclusion in the U. S. Olympic Team relay pool does not guarantee participation in the Olympic Games.
Jones is the second Bruin woman named to the relay pool, joining Andrea Anderson who is in the U. S. 4 X 400m relay pool (Anderson at the U. S. Trials, held in Sacramento July 14-23, placed sixth in the women's 400m, 51.32).
At the Trials, Jones advanced to the semifinals in both the women's 100m and 200m. In the 100m, her semi-final time was 11.32 and in the 200m, her mark was 22.57w.
During her UCLA career, Jones is an eight-time collegiate outdoor and indoor sprint and relay All-American.
Along with Anderson, Jones joins eight other Bruins on the U. S. Olympic T & F team. They are -- women, Gail Devers (100m hurdles), Amy Acuff (high jump), Dawn Dumble (shot put, still needs to make Olympic A standard), Seilala Sua and Suzy Powell (discus) and Sheila Burrell (heptathlon), men - Mebrahtom Keflezighi (10,000m) and John Godina (discus).

The NBA has a problem……………and its name is Donald Sterling. The owner of the Los Angeles Clippers was recently reported to have made racist remarks asking his girlfriend to stop bringing African-American guests to Clipper games. What? The NBA is made up of mostly African-American players not to mention many of the professional game's most ardent fans.
Don Sterling was born Donald Tokowitz in Chicago in 1934. He purchased the Los Angeles Clippers in 1981 for the very attractive price of $12.5 million. Forbes Magazine values the team at $575 million ranking it 18th (in value) out of 30 NBA teams. Sterling and his immigrant parents moved to Los Angeles when he was two years old. He attended Cal State University in Los Angeles and holds a Law Degree from Southwestern University School of Law.
Sterling started his law practice and established his reputation as a divorce and personal injury attorney. While he claims to have tried over 10,000 cases, he also branched into real estate and he quickly became a large owner of real estate and was sometimes referred to as a "slum lord."
In 2006 Sterling was sued by the U. S. Department of Justice for housing discrimination. He refused to rent to Koreans, Hispanics and African-Americans. He eventually paid a fine of almost $3.0 million. He also paid attorney's fees of almost $5.0 million. In 2009 Sterling was sued by Elgin Baylor, a former NBA superstar for employment discrimination.
So it comes as no surprise that Sterling has been taped having an argument with his girlfriend. Apparently he argued with her over the fact that he reprimanded her for bringing Magic Johnson, a high profile and former NBA superstar, to Clipper's games. He was quoted as telling her, "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people." This was in response to her posting a photo of herself with Magic Johnson at a game. Ironically, Sterling had received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NAACP. He was scheduled to receive another one in May 2014. The NAACP has cancelled that event.
Now the NBA has a problem and the question is what to do now that the media, fans and many NBA and formed NBA players have vociferously denounced the racist comments of Mr. Sterling. Adam Sliver, the new Commissioner of the NBA is being pressured to take swift and decisive action to bring this ugly matter to a quick resolution. Recommendations for actions against Sterling include: banning his appearance at any future NBA games, provide a full accounting of all his racist activities over the years, hefty fines and more.
In the end, his actions have reflected racism in the United States at the highest levels. Even President Barack Obama has weighed in on Sterling's remarks. After only three months on the job Commissioner Silver faces a defining moment in his young tenure. Whatever he does will be scrutinized and criticized by pundits, media outlets, players and fans. Clearly this is a major distraction for the professional league which is in the midst of the NBA Playoffs.
While many people are offering their comments on what to do, Commissioner Silver must act now and he must do so under considerable pressure. Guess this is truly "trial by fire" for the new Commissioner. We'll soon find out what he is made of.

Our more general analysis assumes differentiated rather than homogeneous products and distinguishes strategic substitutes as well as complements to test this forbearance hypothesis. Rather than only a partners design we also explore a random strangers design to disentangle effects of forbearance and repeated interaction. Surprisingly, conglomerate firms do not limit competition, they rather foster it. More in line with our expectations we find more cooperation in complement markets than in substitute markets and also more cooperation in a partners than in a strangers matching. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2010-07-01T13:10:47.919Z 2010-12-17T11:54:22.336Z

Today, at the Camp Nou, Barcelona FC were not crowned Spanish Football's domestic champions. This time it was Atletico Madrid who with a 1-1 draw won the title in the last La Liga match day of the season.
The Catalans stumbled backwards into the championship thanks to the amazing accumulation of poor domestic results among the top three La Liga teams over the past month. Just a few weeks ago it seemed Atletico was so far ahead no one would catch them. Then, as they stumbled, it was Real who seemed destined to sneak in and take the trophy. Then they tripped and it became a two team crawl to the finish where goal differentials and head-to-head tie breakers were the talk.
Finally it boiled down Atletico needing to win three games to garner two trophies and so far they lost the first piece of silverware. Ahead is the Champions League Final against Real, a Spanish Football sweep of European honors what with Sevilla's Europa League win, and a chance for redemption.
The game began ominously for Atletico as within 20 minutes both Diego Costa, via a recurring injury that has yet to fully heal, and Arda Turan, via a knock from Cesc Faregas, had to leave the game. Not the way Los Colchoneros coach, Diego Simeone, had envisioned starting the "final."
Things went from bad to worse as at the 34th minute Alexis Sanchez took a howler of a shot from an impossible angle and the ball went in at the right upper ninety of the goal defended by Thibaut Courtois. A golazo!
The half ended on a sour note as yellow cards had to be given to players who were arguing and pestering each other all game long.
At the 49th minute Diego Godin, Atleti's Uruguayan defender headed in the leveling score off a Gabi cross. With the game tied the visitors were in their comfort zone. This is Madrid's formula, score and then defend to the death.
Unfortunately for Simeone his third substitution had to be made for another injury, this time Adrian's.
But as the clock ticked down at the Catalans' home it was the Madrid side that seemed aware their improbable odyssey was at a close. At game's end the yellow shirted visitors' relief seemed in equal measure to their thrill.

Since we started our 24-day healthy eating challenge, we've eaten a lot of grilled chicken and salad. As I was racking my brain trying to come up with an idea for dinner that didn't involve chicken, vegetable soup came to mind. It's one of my all time favorite meals, and it reminds me of my precious daddy. He always called it "Red Soup," one of his favorite meals to cook when my mom had to work late. Of course he'd cook a steaming pan of delicious cornbread, I always loved crumbling a big piece of moist cornbread right in my vegetable soup. But……cornbread isn't part of the plan during our 24-day healthy eating challenge. So, I asked our Time 2 $ave Facebook community their secret to homemade vegetable soup. I incorporated several suggestions to make the best Vegetable soup ever!!

How can I protect my brand and what are the benefits of trademarks?
by Tricia Meyer on January 15, 2014
As an entrepreneur, you know branding is important. Your company name, logo and slogan were undoubtedly decided after hours of brainstorming and should be protected. Your name and your brand set you apart and help establish your identity in the marketplace. Here are tips to help you establish and protect your brand:
1. Search all available federal, state, local and county databases
This should be done before you've gone to market. Check to ensure that no other companies are using the name you've chosen. Keep in mind that trademark laws are accommodating and you can be liable for infringement on someone else's trademark even if they haven't formally registered. Choosing a name that is already in use, even if unregistered, exposes you to the risk of being subject to a lawsuit. It will always be easier to choose a different name than to litigate.
2. Use your trademark
You can establish your company's rights to a trademark by using and displaying it in the normal course of business. You want to put the public on notice that you are using the trademark in association with the products or services you are providing. The more you use your trademarks (name, logo or slogan), the stronger and more distinctive they become. You may use the "TM" (trademark) or "SM" (service mark) designation to let everyone know that you're claiming rights to the mark. If you decide to register your trademark, you should always use the "®" designation and take care so that the trademark is not inadvertently abandoned, cancelled or expired.
3. Register your trademark.
There are many benefits to registering your trademark, as unregistered trademarks aren't afforded the same protections. Registering your trademark will allow you the exclusive right to use it, thereby enabling you to further protect your brand. You will also have the ability to pursue infringement claims against both imitations and forgeries of your company's name and brand images. This is the strongest protection you can obtain to ensure that your trademark remains yours.
4. Monitor potential cases of infringement
Many trademark owners fail to realize that the USPTO does not monitor your trademark for you. It is up to you to determine whether there has been any type of infringement and to enforce your rights. The longer someone infringes on your trademark, the harder it will be to stop it. Turning a blind eye to infringement suggests that the trademark has been abandoned, and thus jeopardizes your rights.
In previous columns I have emphasized the importance of protecting your company's intellectual property. Your business' name is chief among your intellectual property, because it is the foundation of your company's brand.

'The Office': Angela Kinsey Previews the New Season
NBC's comedy "The Office" returns tonight at 9 p.m. for its seventh season, which means that "Modern Family" isn't the only shaky-camera mockumentary worth watching.
"The Office" is a show in transition–star Steve Carrell has announced that he's leaving the cast next year. Actress Angela Kinsey's character Angela Martin may also have some surprises in store this season. The controlling accountant entered into a baby-making contract with Dwight that will figure into the plot this season (Warning: some semi-spoilers ahead.)
Kinsey, fresh off a guest-starring turn on "Yo Gabba Gabba," talked to Speakeasy about what viewers can expect this season on "The Office."
The Wall Street Journal: What's going to happen to your character on "The Office" this season?
Angela Kinsey: She's really trying to hold Dwight to this procreation contract. And they have this whole system with this contract, I've got a punch card he's got to punch for how many times I get to procreate with him. It's really awkward and ridiculous and awesome. Rainn [Wilson] and I are having a lot of fun with it. I think that she's really determined to win him back and is excited about having a child with Dwight, so we'll see how that plays out.
With Steve Carell leaving, can't your character become the new boss on the office?
That would be hilarious. There would be such a bloodbath at work. Kevin would be gone. Phyllis. Kelly. She'd probably fire Pam too. They'd probably be a whole new office if my character took over, for sure.
How are people handling the fact that Carell is leaving?
For me Steve leaving is bittersweet because he's my friend and I'm going to miss him. But there's great energy on the set. It's our seventh season and him leaving has given us the spark of the unknown again. So I think we're all pretty excited to see how things play out.

SALT LAKE CITY ?- The University of Arizona women's soccer team kicked off the Utah Fall Soccer Classic with a dominant 3-0 victory over Utah State on Friday evening at Ute Field on the campus of the University of Utah.
"It was a good way for us to start the tournament," head coach Dan Tobias said after the game. "We played better tonight. It was nice to get some chances early in the game."
Forwards London King and Jasmine Namdar led the
King, a sophomore, put the Wildcats on the board early with her first goal of the season at the 1:47 mark of the first half. The goal was built up by a nicely played ball from Kaity Heath behind the Aggie defense, before King finished the ball in the right side of the net.
The Wildcat attack would strike again at the 16:04 mark.
Minutes later, King would put away her second goal of the match and the Wildcats' third of the half at the 24:45 mark. After getting the ball from freshman Macke Mutz, King blasted the ball from 10 yards out, striking the underside of the cross bar and deflecting into the goal.
The Wildcat offense was relentless throughout, out-shooting the Aggies 16-2 in the match, and earned an 8-2 advantage on corner kicks.
While pleased with the performance, Tobias said that his tam still has room for improvement, particularly in maintaining possession.
"We need to do a better job of surveying the field at times," Tobias said. "We also need to make better and quicker decisions."

PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley shot 60.6 percent in the second half and used an 11-3 run midway through the period to pull away from defending Missouri Valley Conference regular-season champion Northern Iowa and top the Panthers 75-61 Friday at Renaissance Coliseum. The contest was Bradley's ninth annual Pink Zone game, with the Braves helping raise $3,200 for the Memorial Chapter of Komen for the Cure.
Four Bradley players scored in double figures, paced by sophomore Kelsey Budd's (Prairie du Sauk, Wis./Sauk Prairie) game-high 22 points on 10-of-15 shooting. The win was BU's fourth consecutive home victory and snapped a six-game losing streak for the Braves in the series with UNI.
Playing without active career scoring leader Katie Yohn (Elgin, Ill./St. Edward), who missed the game due to injury, Bradley (14-12 overall, 5-9 MVC) struggled to find rhythm on the offensive end in the first half, but still held a four-point lead at the break.
Bradley took a 15-9 advantage on a Budd runner in with 11:38 left in the first half, but the Braves were scoreless for a seven-minute stretch and UNI used a 9-0 run to go in front 18-15. Sophomore Catie O'Leary (Janesville, Wis./Parker/Wisconsin) helped highlight an 11-2 BU run with a layup and three-pointer to help Bradley go back in front 28-22 and the Braves held a 28-24 lead at the half.
Northern Iowa (15-10 overall, 8-6 MVC) pulled within one at 34-33 with 15:35 to go and trailed 45-41 nearing the midway point of the second half, when the Braves made their decisive run.
Freshman Shronda Butts (Des Moines, Iowa/East) helped key the 11-3 spurt which put BU in front 56-44 with nine minutes to go, converting a three-point play and dishing out three of her team-high five assists during the stretch. Senior Leah Kassing (Mt. Sterling, Ill./Brown County) scored four of her 14 second-half points to help Bradley take control.
The Panthers answered with a hoop on the next possession to pull within 10 (56-46), before Butts made a pair of free throws and assisted a pair of Bradley hoops to help the Braves extend the lead to 14 points (62-48) nearing the six-minute mark. UNI got no closer than 10 points the remainder of the contest.
Northern Iowa entered the game averaging 12.4 turnovers in Missouri Valley Conference play, but Bradley forced 19 UNI turnovers to go along with a 44-30 advantage in points in the paint.
Budd scored a game-high 22 points on 10-for-15 from the floor and also had six rebounds, four assists, blocks and three steals in 38 minutes. Kassing was 7-of-12 from the field in the second half and finished with 18 points, five boards and three steals.
Butts was the only Bradley player to go to the free throw line, making 10-of-11 attempts and collected 12 points, five assists and two steals in the second half. She finished with her highest point total since scoring a season-high 18 points in the win against Iowa on Dec. 17. O'Leary joined the trio in double figures, adding 11 points and four assists.
Katelyn Oney led UNI in scoring with 14 points, while Brooke Brown added 12 points and Rachel Madrigal tallied 11 points to go with a team-best six rebounds for the Panthers.
Bradley continues a three-game home stand next Friday, hosting Drake in a 6 p.m. game at Renaissance Coliseum.

EUGENE, Oregon
-- Sometimes it's worth it to travel for eight hours out of 24 to
see 20 minutes of brilliant dancing, and so it was on Thursday when
I took the train from Portland to Eugene and the Hult Center for
the Performing Arts to see a tribute to the art of flamenco put
together by Miguel Harth-Bedoya, conductor and music director of
the Eugene Symphony and Hector Zaraspe, ballet master at the Juilliard
School, with six dancers who have been associated with the National
Ballet of Spain.
Those twenty
minutes of brilliant, dramatic, virtuosic dancing were performed
primarily by Lola Greco and Francisco Velasco. (Greco left the NBS
in 1998.) The first half of the program opened with a zarzuela overture,
played with authentic panache by the orchestra, and closed with
Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, a staple (is it ever!)
of the guitar repertoire beautifully performed by 23-year-old guitarist
Jorge Caballero. In between were four traditional zarzuelas, danced
in a highly restricted stage space (full-sized orchestra ranged
behind) which Greco managed to fill entirely and, in fact, transform.
In the La Maja
solo from Granados's "Goyescas," arms twining above her head, heels
subtly but firmly tapping the floor, Greco managed to look like
the naked Maja, even though she was covered from head to toe in
white lace ruffles. The orchestra was completely subsumed by her
dancing: in fact, it looked like a backdrop! Velasco, interpreting
that extraordinary zapateado, a set piece intended to demonstrate
virtuosic footwork (music is by Sarasate), reduced the 2000 people
in the audience to complete silence (you could have heard a tissue
drop!) with the precision and subtlety and rapidity of his heel
work in the a capella section.
A bullfighting
zarzuela "El Gato Montes," really a burlesque of the arrogance of
the matador, was loudly applauded although lost on this audience,
which did not laugh at all as Jose Porcel staggered around the stage,
swishing a cape around and mugging at the bull.
The best of
the evening, really, came in the second half when Zaraspe's version
of Manuel de Falla's ballet, "El Amor Brujo" (Love the Magician)
was performed by all six dancers and a dozen students from the Eugene
Ballet School who acquitted themselves magnificently as a corps
of gypsy girls. The restricted space was forgotten entirely as Greco
in the role of Candelas, a gypsy girl so haunted by the ghost of
a dead lover she cannot accept the courting of a new one, danced
with unrestrained obsession, grief, and passion, her body curving
in ways that are reminiscent not of the straight arrow arabesque
of classical ballet, but the arabesques that are such a moving feature
of Arab architecture and design. At one point, she poured onto the
stage barefoot, in a nightgown, and still managed to create the
illusion of heel-stamping passion.
The show, a
joint production of the Eugene Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic,
will have nine performances in the Los Angeles area in February.
While a bit ragged in places in the first half, it's worth traveling
to see, if only for Greco and Velasco, whose performances, to coin
a Spanish superlative, are estupendo!

Ok, so I have a PC running Windows 8 that I recently decided to try the new reset option on. Mid way through the reset, the computer shut itself down and now when it opens, it shows an error message saying that the file: windows\system32\winload.exe could not be found. I searched online and found that you can launch the files from the computer from a disk with the Ubuntu system on it. I downloaded the software on the disk and booted the computer from the disk which got me to the software on the disk. The problem is, I looked through all the files and I can't find where the files that are saved on the windows system as documents and pictures are. (I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on the disk - NOT downloaded to the system) Please help me out with this and thank you in advanced.
Boot from Ubuntu, Mount the Windows partition and then find where the file is located. (Ubuntu should do this automatically or at least show an icon or an option in the file-manager to mount the partition).
As noted in a comment:
Then you can put the new file in place.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prenatal evolution/natural history and postnatal outcome of fetuses diagnosed with a neural tube defect (NTD) lacking the Arnold-Chiari-II malformation (ACM II). MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective study reviewed 16 fetuses evaluated with ultrasound (US) and MRI at a single referral center from 1/2000 to 8/2007. Follow-up studies and available postnatal outcomes were reviewed. RESULTS: Postpartum diagnosis was terminal myelocystoceles 7/16 (44%); myelomeningoceles (MMCs) 3/16 (19%); lipomyelomeningoceles 2/16(13%); and thoracic myelocystocele 1/16 (6%). Three patients (19%) were lost to follow-up or termination of pregnancy. Two prenatally diagnosed 'closed' NTD were postnatally found to be MMCs. Three of the myelocystoceles had additional omphalocele, bladder extrophy, imperforate anus and spinal defect (OEIS complex). For the total cohort, impaired lower extremity function was seen in 38%, impaired bladder function in 64%, and ventriculoperitoneal shunting in 8%. Four fetuses with a myelocystocele developed hindbrain herniation in the third trimester of pregnancy. The preterm delivery rate was 38%. Five of eight (63%) neonates with postnatally diagnosed myelocystoceles had mothers with a body mass index over 30. CONCLUSION: Prenatal differentiation between closed and open NTD is not always possible. Postnatal outcome of isolated myelocystocele and MMC seems to be more favorable than for an NTD with ACM II (shunt requirement). Incontinence is the major childhood morbidity. Maternal obesity may be a risk factor for closed NTDs.
