College Hockey:Harvard Inches Past St. Lawrence
Tight decision tips in Crimson's favor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Harvard goaltender Matt Hoyle's pads are 37 inches long from top to toe. St. Lawrence goalie Alex Petizian's, 33 inches.
The five inches were the difference.
The Crimson (4-2-0, 4-2-0 ECAC Hockey) won the intense, fast-paced contest 1-0 in front of 2,503 at the Bright Hockey Center Saturday night. Matt McCollem scored the game's only goal, the freshman Hoyle earned his first collegiate shutout, and the locals kept SLU off the board despite seven Saints' power plays.
"We're excited; I thought our guys battled to the end," said relieved Harvard head coach Ted Donato. "Though we'd like to stay out of the box a little more, and not make it so hard on ourselves."
Petizian stopped 35 of 36 for the Saints (4-4-1, 1-2-1) in the hard-luck loss, including 16 in the second period alone.
"It was a tough game, a 1-0 loss; they did a great job on defense," said SLU veteran coach Joe Marsh. "We fell into some old habits, lazy penalties, a lot of hooking-type calls."
The opening 20 minutes didn't produce any goals, but it wasn't short on action. Both goalies were sincerely tested, having to make point-blank stops in sub-optimal positions. Hoyle lost track of the disc in a scrum midway through the period, and trusted the odds by making a blind split-stop through traffic.
A few minutes later, Petizian blocked Alex Killorn's initial stop with his chest, but the rebound landed to the goalie's left on the stick of charging Pier-Olivier Michaud. The junior backstop made the only play he could, denying Michaud's shot with his toe.
Harvard led on the shot board at the first horn, forcing Petizian to make 13 stops to Hoyle's nine.
St. Lawrence opened the period by taking a protocol infraction incurred before the teams went to the locker rooms. A point of emphasis for the officials this year, Augie DiMarzo was penalized for skating onto the ice after the first-period horn to congratulate Petizian. SLU killed the penalty, but Marsh was beside himself.
"I have a real problem with it," he fumed after the game of refs Chip McDonald and Bryan Hicks' discretion. "I'll probably get in trouble for it, but it was one guy, after a hell of a first period. There's something to be said for feel."
Harvard rearguard Brian McCafferty put a scare in the Saints with an iron-ringing salvo just following the power-play, but the rebound took a Scarlet bounce out of danger.
Petizian was the first to feel the red light on his back just before the game's halfway mark. Killorn spun a snapshot on net, which rebounded softly across to McCollem, who planted the chance to cap a frenetic Crimson rush.
"On the power play, we stressed getting the puck to the net," said the sophomore from nearby Somerville, Mass. "We were getting a lot of shots on, and I figured I'd just stand there. Alex Killorn got a shot on, and it bounced out to me."
The Cambridge club applied consistent pressure on the Saints, drowning Petizian in a 17-shot torrent to match the blustery conditions outside. The red-clad road team earned a 1:30 five-on-three that straddled the intermission; the Saints tested the home whites to end the second, but couldn't break Hoyle's zero before the buzzer.
"I don't know what to tell you," Marsh sighed. "We just couldn't seem to make it click."
Harvard held its nil through the remainder of the kill, and DiMarzo took a minor immediately thereafter to exacerbate St. Lawrence's misery. The Crimson failed to convert, but built significant momentum from the advantage.
"That was a huge kill," said Donato. "We dug down deep. I'm really proud of the way we battled."
Of the penalties, of which Harvard has incurred myriad early this season, Donato said, "We have to recognize that just because we have a penalty doesn't mean that the ref isn't going to call another one. At least half of them [tonight] we could've avoided."
The Cantonites held tough despite the diminishing amount of sand in their hourglass. Consecutive power plays in the ninth and 11th minutes of the third brought the significant Saints section to its feet, and the North Country crew pressed the Crimson for long stretches of play.
"That old adage that 'the goaltender has to be your best penalty killer' was certainly the case," exhaled Donato.
However, Mike McKenzie's hooking minor with 3:33 to play short-circuited SLU's momentum, and Harvard was able to grind the clock to triple-zeds for the four-point weekend.
"Things worked out, the team was great in front of me," said Hoyle of his first clean sheet. "It's always tough to get the first shutout, so it should come easier from here."
The Saints dropped both of games on the weekend with Friday's loss at Dartmouth, and return home to face defending league champ Princeton next Friday. The Crimson go for three straight wins, all of the league variety, at Brown on Tuesday night.

Give this one a shot!
(Posted by: TrevR on 01-30-2008 @ 11:10 AM)
Inviting grounds, a newly re-done, yet still under construction tasting room, relaxed and informative staff and a variety of strong wines made this winetasting experience one we'd absolutely recommend to anyone. An added bonus–if you're a Napa County resident (or can find one to drag along with you), the winery participates in the Napa Neighbor Program, meaning you taste for free and get 15% off any wine purchase.

While visiting Napa last year I had a chance to visit this humble winery. Although the tasting room was under construction, the experience was great thanks to a very friendly and inviting staff. The cab was especially pleasing and would rate it up there with wines costing almost twice as much.

As my last days on the island approach, I view it as the ebb and flow of the gentle tide. The waves bring in beauty and splendor, and just as the water recedes, we too will depart, leaving behind only footsteps in the sand and new friendships to be coveted.
Arriving two years ago on a bright, sun-kissed day, I would never have imagined all the beautiful sights I would encounter. I am continuously amazed by the view outside our door, the sparkling turquoise waters that are home to the sea creatures I have come to know such as "Ray Ray," our resident sting ray who glides through the marina and shallow waters with silent grace. A family of silver snapper swim close to the dock among the black-and-yellow stripe sergeant majors waiting patiently for food to be tossed for them to nibble on as it slowly sank. "Sharky," the nurse shark, brownish grey hugging the sea floor as he grazed like cattle in a field. The dark and brooding grouper emerging from the rocks only to slowly sink back in. I had my very own salt water aquarium to gaze upon and enjoy.
Looking around, I see our stately coconut palms with their green swaying fronds generously dropping the succulent fruit down to be enjoyed right out of the husk or mixed into a frothy cool beverage. Lush glorious foliage allowing us to have fresh flowers all year round with bright colors to pluck for a vase or simply enjoy outside my windows.
Flying over and around our great blue heron lands on the boulders or in the lagoon lifting her legs high as she would stroll around and then effortlessly lift off and sail over the sand and sea. Tiny yellow birds with their sweet songs nest in the jade leaves of the sea grape trees. The seagulls whose sound reminds me of laughter as they soar overhead, and their white bodies bright and black markings punctuate like an exclamation mark against the canopy of powder blue sky.
Days of sun scorching the ground with heat permeating from every spot of sand and ocean and then times of damp grey rain where only the small hermit crabs are seen, out and about with shells keeping them dry. Even these days the beach has its beauty to behold for when the showers are over the leaves glisten and perk up as if they were quenched by the water that fell onto and around them. Puddles provided pools of fresh water for our feathered friends to sip from or even bathe. Sometimes a rainbow would stretch over the horizon reminding us of a promise made long ago.
Sunsets. Each evening becomes a greeting card of bright orange, melon, peach for a moment in time and then tranisitions to indigo nights where stars shine like diamonds scattered across a velvet cloth at Tiffany's. Phases of the moon from a sliver that resembles a smile to a large, full orb so bright the sea and sand reflect its image. These images are embroidered into my memory like a quilt, each square a reminder of the beauty that surrounded my life on the Island.


text: 14 February 2010 archive See all show photos "THIS was the most challenging collection I've ever done," Juan Carlos Obando told us after his show at Milk Studios Sunday afternoon, tears of relief in his eyes. Why? "Because I had to be restrained. It's hard to be restrained." Well, if it was difficult, the effort was not betrayed by Obando's finished collection, dubbed La Ponderosa Redux, which had a sense of strength and ease, and referenced (in no particular order and never overtly), the designer's attraction to futurism, dynamism, technology, youth and hedonism and how they play into his own life and into the world of fashion. As well as with his desire to evolve his exploration of craftsmanship, sewing techniques and the intricacies of pattern-making. Yes, it was clear from the precision tailoring of slim, high-collared suits with curvilinear seams, a black waxed cotton coat (part trench, part sheath), and a mustard wool shell with matching leather trimmed shorts that Obando was in a minimalist mood. But that's not to say he abandoned the intricate, labour-intensive pleating that first brought him to the attention of the fashion community and garnered him a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund nomination. But this time around he restrained himself by relegating his swirling embellishment to either the top or bottom half of a garment, which was especially effective as showcased on the bodice of a trio of gowns, the pale pleats reigned in by a black lattice cage. Tellingly, the most striking look here was the black razor tux evening look that closed the show. A study in perfection and discretion, it epitomised everything the designer had worked so hard to say.SEE THE JUAN CARLOS OBANDO SHOW ARCHIVE Lauren David Peden Continue reading Back to top

A Step In the Right Direction
Saturday, July 27, 2013
The weather was absolutely weird yesterday! It rained on and off in the most episodic fashion I've ever seen, leaving the temperature and humidity wobbling miserably and the barometric shifts making my knees ache. I'm hoping a long, hot shower will cure my aches as much as crawling into bed with the sweet realization that I have tomorrow off and do not have to be up by a certain time.
Food today was really, really hard to calculate. A friend wanted to meet up and hang out, which usually means shopping around and snacking a lot. We had Japanese for lunch, which translated to 502 calories of mostly raw, healthy sushi for me. I had two sugar-free, homemade peanut butter cups from a sweet shop that I estimate were about a hundred calories each, a pint of pilsner-style beer, and a twenty ounce jasmine milk tea without the tapioca bubbles. Those indulgences kept me full until about 11 pm, upon which I had a 250 calorie frozen steamer meal of macaroni and cheese with broccoli. As long as my estimates are correct (and I fear they aren't), I kept the day at 1494 calories. In the scheme of things, that should amount to a significant step in the right direction for me. Not only was I able to keep my calories in range, but I was able to have what I felt were multiple splurges and still stay in range, more or less. At the very least, most of my choices (like the sushi and the broccoli macaroni) were healthy ones.
Gotta stay positive, right?
I also took a trip to the grocery store and went over my budget by twenty-five dollars. :X And I did so without making a meal plan first, so I just have to hope that all of my food choices will amount to some healthy recipes of some sort without needing extra ingredients. But the good news is I made 100% healthy food choices! I have yams to bake, spinach salad, apples and bananas for sweet snacks, 92% lean beef and chicken thighs, Greek yogurt, whole wheat bread, zucchini to do something with, and fixings for a giant pot of tortilla soup that should come out to between 220 and 280 calories a serving, depending on if I can get 4 or 5 servings out of the pot. As far as I'm concerned, that should amount up to a week's worth of healthy eating and meeting my calorie ranges.
The main problem I'm going to have to deal with is my lunch buddy. I have a co-worker that I get along well with and we tend to take our lunch breaks at the same time. But he is a financially well-off guy who LOVES to eat out every single day. Like buffalo wings kind of eating out. And I've tried letting him down gently by saying that I don't have the money to go out to eat so much... and he insists on paying for my meal when I do that! So really my main challenge is to pick eating venues where I can be healthy. Right now I've got three places in the rotation that I can work with: Chipotle @ 675 calories (I need to tweak that one), Genghis Grill at 388 calories, and Rockfish at 476 calories. As long as I know that we're going to a place where I can count calories, it is relatively easy to adjust what I eat for my pre-work meal, like a 340 calorie salad all the way up to 500 calories of broccoli beef and steamed rice, but I'm afraid I'll have to find more venues than those three to keep the rotation fresh so he doesn't suggest fast food or - God forbid - buffalo wings.
Honestly though, this guy, even though I consider him a work friend, is up for a promotion this coming week, and I really hope he gets it. Not just because he totally deserves it, but because he will have to be on a different shift than me and then I won't feel pressured to go out and eat every single day. Hopefully that happens so I can start bringing my lunch to work again and keep the calories and the budget in check. I know that sounds terrible, though! :(
Tomorrow I'm scheduled to have sushi for dinner with a friend. It's going to be really, really difficult to stay away from the deliciously fried rolls (a shrimp tempura roll is nearly 600 calories by itself!!!), but I think I can manage it. Otherwise I plan to make high protein and high fiber choices in an attempt to keep the rest of the day low on calories and high on appetite satisfaction. Haha Greek yogurt, spinach, and broccoli have been my saving graces in the past, so hopefully they will come to my rescue again. Thankfully I have a lot of To-Dos for tomorrow, otherwise I would be idle around the house, and that's when I'm most susceptible to temptation!
Well. Here's hoping I'm definitely on track to getting back on the wagon and making real progress again! Even though it's probably too early in this process for me to be committing to long-term goals, I would love to lose eight pounds and be at 180 or in the 170s by the end of August. I know that will be a stretch, but I think I can do it - especially if I start seeing real progress again, because that's a serious motivator! I'm so ready to start feeling good and proud of myself again.
Well I've definitely prattled on long enough in this blog! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far and making great progress in all your goals and dreams! Have a great day!

It's always so hard to eat well when you are going out with other people who aren't watching what they eat (or their wallets) the way you are! But it sounds like you're doing remarkably well with the self control and making the best choices with what's available. Also, even though you went over your grocery budget, it sounds like you made the healthiest of choices, and I'm sure you will be able to cook up lots of tasty and satisfying meals with what you brought home.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your co-worker gets his promotion too, as it's a win-win situation that will allow you to avoid too much temptation!

The Metamorphoses
by Ovid
The Metamorphoses Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Why do you think Ovid decided to present this collection of myths as a linear narrative from the beginning of the world up to what was for him the present day?
- If Ovid wanted to present his collection of myths as a linear narrative history of the world, why did he stick in so many confusing flashbacks and flashbacks-within-flashbacks?
- In explaining the world as he saw it, Ovid combines mythological explanations with other explanations that draw on the scientific theories of his day (see our section on the Theme of "Science" for more details on how Ovid does this). Based solely on what you have read in his poem, which of these two worldviews do you think he found more convincing? Did he even see them as two separate worldviews?
- Ovid's poem depicts the thoughts and actions of a wide range of female characters. Some of these characters are essentially victims, while others are more like what we would today consider "strong women." Do you think Ovid's view of women is positive, negative, or somewhere in between?
- Why do you think Ovid's Metamorphoses has had such a powerful impact on subsequent literature and art?

Texas Tech Takes On No. 1 Baylor
Chynna Brown is averaging 15.6 points per game in Big 12 play.
Feb. 11, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas Tech has a lot of similarities this season with the year 2004.
Tech (18-6, 8-4 Big 12) is off to its best start since the 2004-05 season and has won its most road games (five overall, four in Big 12) since 2004-05.
It probably wouldn't mind winning in Waco for the first time since 2004 when the Lady Raiders take on No. 1 Baylor at 6 p.m. CT on Tuesday at the Ferrell Center.
The Last Meeting
January 30, 2013
Lubbock, Texas
The game will be broadcast on FOX Sports Southwest, marking Texas Tech's 11th appearance on TV - on pace to have its most TV appearances since, yes, 2004.
The Lady Raiders won its last two games and completed season sweeps of West Virginia (76-63) and TCU (64-46) last week to end a two-game losing skid. Senior Casey Morris led the team in points each game with 20 and 18 while Christine Hyde had a breakout game on the boards Saturday.
The senior forward collected a career-high 16 rebounds to go with 10 points to record her first career double-double. Tech had four scorers in double figures for the second consecutive game, including Kelsi Baker (15) and Chynna Brown (13).
Brown posted double digit numbers for the 11th time in 12 games and is averaging 15.6 points per game in Big 12 play.
Baylor (22-1, 12-0) is looking to extend its Big 12 Conference game winning streak to 35 on Tuesday. Tech remains as the last team to win a Big 12 Conference game against Baylor (Feb. 19, 2011). Baylor has not lost a Big 12 game at home since March 7, 2010 (70-54 vs Texas).
PLAYER TO WATCH: Casey Morris, SR., GUARD
Morris scored 20 and 18 in her last two games to help Tech beat West Virginia & TCU while going a perfect 11-for-11 from the free-throw line. She ha scored in double figures in 16 games this season and is shooting 82.5 percent from the charity stripe overall & 88.5 percent in Big 12 play.

"Dressed to Kill," is a 1980 thriller that was directed by Brian De Palma. The movie starred Nancy Allen, Keith Gordon, Angie Dickinson, Michael Caine, and Dennis Franz. Basically without giving away much detail, a housewife (Angie Dickinson) is murdered in an elevator, a prostitute (Nancy Allen) sees the murder, and it's up to her to find the killer, before the killer finds her. The victim's son (Keith Gordon) helps our heroine.
You can definitely see that De Palma was influenced by Alfred Hitchcock, which as always that's a good thing. The movie is quite suspenseful and nail biting. Even the ending of the movie is harrowing, Palma never let his audience in this movie uncoil from their fear. It goes straight in with an freakishly odd shower scene to the end with well just watch it.
The film does at times go heavy on the eroticism, which goes with the subject matter. Basically it's a erotic thriller before there was a movie made called "Basic Instinct." If you want to put it that way that is. While it has a few graphic scenes, it's not a total porn film, it does remind the viewer that they are watching a thriller. The subway scene is a fine example of how Palma is good at building tension.
I personally liked the chemistry between Allen and Gordon that Palma made. Now their characters weren't romantically link, it was more of a big sister and little brother relationship. There is almost a touching bond between them that I found charming.
This is a movie that everyone brings up once in awhile that you tell yourself you just have to see. Now the camera styling is really great, like his way he did some of scenes especially the split scenes. The soundtrack by Pino Donaggio. That music with those scenes gets your blood run cold.
Now would I watch it more than once and get the same effect, probably not, now if it was my first time watching it yes, that's why it holds up nicely. Though I think some scenes would still be harrowing to see more than once. I think watching it every ten years or something, just so you forget about what's going to happen works.
Overall "Dressed to Kill," works for what it is. It holds your attention, makes you on the edge of your seat, and even can disgust you. It kept my attention and even jumped a little in one scene. The acting was good, each character was unique.With a four out of 5 star rating, I think this could be called what Hitchcock would have made in the 80s.

Incessant talking is a hallmark of the Obama administration and it is systemic among his appointees including the Secretary of Defense. Espousing truisms that are apparent to all isn't helpful. Describing the ISIS propaganda machine, for instance, bolsters the image of our enemy. It doesn't degrade it. Only precise countermeasures will "degrade and destroy" the enemy. So, stop talking and get to work.
If ISIS is so sophisticated with its use of social media and modern technology, then that raises a number of questions.
- Who are funding ISIS?
- Who are the brains behind them?
- Is not the recruitment audience well equipped with computer technology to receive the messages?
- Has anyone thought about jamming them?
It isn't necessary to convince Americans that a club of Sunni psychopathic tyrants need to be degraded and destroyed. It isn't sufficient to accomplish that by military means alone. In the Middle East, we are talking about wholesale cultural change and development. We're not talking about nation-building, we're talking about hemispheric reorganization.
The messaging that should be coming from the White House and not from dribs and drabs from the Secretary of Defense is a comprehensive approach to be sold to all of our free world allies as a part of the free world collective. It is that the planet has reached the brink of disaster and that requires unprecedented attention to the world order. President George Herbert Walker Bush had that one correct when he spoke of a "new world order."
For now, someone remind Secretary Hagel that loose lips sink ships.
"The term "new world order" has been used to refer to any new period of history evidencing a dramatic change in world political thought and the balance of power. Despite various interpretations of this term, it is primarily associated with the ideological notion of global governance only in the sense of new collective efforts to identify, understand, or address worldwide problems that go beyond the capacity of individual nation-states to solve.
One of the first and most well-known Western uses of the term was in Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, and in a call for a League of Nations following the devastation of World War I. The phrase was used sparingly at the end of World War II when describing the plans for the United Nations and the Bretton Woods system, and partly because of its negative associations with the failed League of Nations. However, many commentators have applied the term retroactively to the order put in place by the World War II victors as a "new world order."
The most widely discussed application of the phrase of recent times came at the end of the Cold War. Presidents Mikhail Gorbachev and George H. W. Bush used the term to try to define the nature of the post Cold War era, and the spirit of great power cooperation that they hoped might materialize.
Gorbachev's initial formulation was wide ranging and idealistic, but his ability to press for it was severely limited by the internal crisis of the Soviet system. Bush's vision was, in comparison, much more circumscribed and realistic, perhaps even instrumental at times, and closely linked to the Gulf War."
"US officials warn that ISIS has created 'propaganda machine'
By Kristina Wong - 09/04/14 06:00 AM EDT
The terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is harnessing the power of social media in its violent quest to establish a Muslim caliphate.
Experts in counterterrorism say the group's gruesome videos of beheadings — the most recent of which was posted Tuesday — are having their intended effect by propelling the group into headlines.
"[ISIS] operates the most significant propaganda machine of any extremist group," Matt Olsen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said Wednesday in a rare public appearance at the Brookings Institution.
As a result of media attention, ISIS threatens to "outpace al Qaeda as the dominant voice of influence in the global extremist movement," Olsen said.
It's unlikely that ISIS's media campaign is over, given the group's threat to kill a British hostage and the looming anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks next week.
President Obama and leaders around the world have condemned ISIS and vowed that the group will be destroyed. Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday said the United States would follow the group "to the gates of hell," and some members of Congress are pushing for expanded airstrikes against the group in Iraq and Syria.
Some intelligence experts have speculated that ISIS timed the release of the two beheading videos for maximum impact. The first video had shown the journalist Steven Sotloff alive, with a masked executioner threatening to kill him unless the U.S. halted airstrikes in Iraq."

Sometimes we fear love more than we fear hate.
Years ago, Dove Shifter Caley lost his entire family to Wolf shifters. When he had to take refuge with the Wayne County Wolves, he was less than happy. But he has adjusted—more or less. Then a war breaks out with another pack, and the Alpha is forced to hire a group of assassins to help them out, one of which is a Wolf named Grey—the biggest, scariest Wolf Caley has ever seen. Terrified, Caley vows to avoid him, even as he finds himself strangely attracted to Grey at the same time.
The moment Grey sees the small, yet sexy, Dove, he knows he wants him. The problem is the Dove avoids talking to him, let alone get up close and personal. Then the pack is attacked, and Caley is in danger. Will Caley learn to trust Grey in time? Or will his fear cause him to pay the ultimate price?

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS - Takia Starks scored 25 points, while Morenike Atunrase added 21 to lead Texas A&M over Washington, 79-65, at Reed Arena in College Station, Texas, Sunday afternoon.
The loss was the second-straight for Washington (5-2), which suffered its first setback of the year at No. 5 Baylor on Friday. Sophomore forward Andrea Plouffe and senior guard Kayla Burt paced the Huskies with 13 points apiece, but it wasn't enough to stop the Aggies (3-2) who shot 51.7 percent from the field.
Washington jumped out early, dominating the first 10 minutes of the game and shooting 52.0 percent from the field in the first half. UW opened with a 9-0 run thanks to three straight three-pointers, two by Plouffe and one by senior guard Kristen O'Neill. The Huskies led by as many as 13 points twice, including a 26-13 lead with 8:49 left after back-to-back buckets from junior forward Jill Bell.
But then the Aggies caught fire, taking advantage of early foul trouble for UW starting guards Emily Florence and Dominique Banks and finishing the first half with an 11-3 run over the last three and a half minutes. Texas A&M tied the score 34-34 at 2:32 after Patrice Reado put back an offensive rebound and was fouled on the way to the basket by UW junior Breanne Watson. Reado nailed the free-throw to complete the three-point play.
With the Aggies up by two, 36-34, Burt put the Huskies back in the lead with a three-pointer at 1:28, only to have Texas A&M answer with another bucket from Reado and a made free-throw. The Aggies took a two-point lead into halftime (39-37) and never looked back.
Starks and Atunrase sparked Texas A&M after the intermission, with the duo at one point combining for 13 straight points in a 13-3 run that put the Huskies down by 15, 61-46, with 11:23 remaining. The Aggies led by 16 with just 6:13 remaining and held on for the 14-point victory.
The Huskies will look to get well at home as they return to Seattle to host their longest homestand of the season, a four-game stint beginning with Michigan, Friday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. UW closes out its non-conference slate with Eastern Washington, Monday, Dec. 12, at 7 p.m. and opens Pac-10 play the following week hosting Cal (Dec. 20) and Stanford (Dec. 22). Washington is 3-0 at home this season.

Pandora To Issue Earnings Report
Internet radio service Pandora is being closely watched by investors. The company is set to announce its latest quarterly earnings Tuesday. Last week, the head of Pandora was in Washington to push for lower music royalties.
Another business model that is being watched closely is that of the Internet radio service, Pandora. The company reports its third-quarter earnings this afternoon. The big question in the minds of investors is whether Pandora can push music royalties down and become more profitable. Last week, Pandora's CEO was on Capitol Hill, arguing in favor of the Internet Radio Fairness Act, which would lower royalties. Several musicians protested against Pandora's push for smaller song payments.

But during the summer sessions I usually can take on a few non majors, contact me here: firstname.lastname@example.com
Audition Materials: If you wish to audition for guitar lessons you should be prepared to sight read a single line of music in treble clef of an elementary level. You will also be asked to play a piece of music of your own choosing - not the hardest piece you know, but rather something with which you are comfortable. Guitar students will choose to focus on either classical guitar or jazz guitar style of playing in their studies. Those who focus on classical guitar will also be expected to perform a piece of music by Carcassi, Sor, Bach or Tarrega in their audition. Those focusing on jazz guitar will be asked to play various modes and scales in a variety of positions on the fingerboard. They will also be expected to know how to play Major 7th, minor 7th, and dominant 7th seventh chords in 3 or 4 forms around the fingerboard. They will also be expected to know the location of various notes across the fingerboard. They will also be asked to improvise over a blues or other basic jazz progression.

Washington State held primary elections on August 5, and although the results have yet to be officially certified by Washington's Secretary of State, here is how the 2014 midterm elections would line up barring any change.
The first Congressional district, which occupies most of Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish County, as well as the northern part of King County, is represented by Democrat Suzan DelBene. She won election in 2012 to succeed Democratic Rep. Jay Inslee, who successfully ran for governor that year. Usually, the first time a politician comes up for re-election as an incumbent, they are considered more vulnerable, but just based on the primary results so far, DelBene has little to worry about. The Washington State Secretary of State's website shows that she is presently leading the pack of candidates with a plurality, above 51%. There were a number of Republicans splitting the ballot, but Pedro Celis and Robert J. Sutherland each have 15% of the vote, with Sutherland maintaining a few hundred votes' lead. John Orlinski, another Republican, sits back with 10%. Altogether, the Republicans split about 47% of the vote to DelBene's 51%, so this could become a very close race. It will depend chiefly on whether Republicans can rally behind the nominee, and how voter turnout goes. This is definitely the race to watch in Washington State, and is likely to be an expensive one.
The second Congressional district, which includes the western parts of Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish County, as well as all of Island and San Juan counties, has been represented by Democratic Rep. Rick Larsen since 2001. Now running for his eighth term, Larsen has accumulated 56% of the primary vote so far. His apparent challenger will be Republican B.J. Guillot, who has 32% of the vote.
In the third Congressional district, Republican Jaime Herrera Beutler was first elected in 2010, in the Republican takeover of the House. 2012 was an important electoral victory for her, and she looks pretty safe thus far. The primary results show her leading with 48% of the vote. Her nearest competitor, Bob Dingethal, has 38% of the vote, and is poised to move on to face Beutler in November. Although she has a 10% lead over him so far, good news for Beutler is the fact that she was splitting the vote with another Republican, Michael Delavar, who got 12%. So assuming the Republicans rally behind Beutler, she should lead the southwestern Washington district by a comfortable margin. Still, Beutler is perhaps the most vulnerable Republican running for re-election, so Democrats may invest heavily to try to steal the district, and their candidate is close enough to make this a competitive race.
The fourth Congressional district, encompassing the central part of the state, is a bit interesting. The incumbent, Republican Doc Hastings, who has served in Congress since 1995 as Washington State's most conservative representative, is not running for re-election. Although normally this would mean Democrats would seek to win an open seat election, it appears they will not get the chance. The primary results show that two Republicans have the most votes so far, Clint Didier with 30%, and Dan Newhouse with 26%. Since Washington State's top-two primary system means the top two candidates move on to the general election, regardless of party (so that no party is guaranteed a spot on the November ballot), it appears the fourth Congressional district will have two Republicans battling it out for the open seat election. This could be interesting, too, as disenfranchised Democrats may throw their support behind one of the candidates in an attempt to elect the lesser of two evils.
The fifth Congressional district, occupying the entire eastern edge of the state, is owned by Republican Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a rising star in the GOP nationally, and, along with Beutler, one of the two women serving Washington State in the U.S. House of Representatives. If the primary is any indication, Rodgers has a safe 51% vote, with Democrat Joseph Pakootas coming in second with 28% of the vote. The rest of the vote was split between an Independent and another Republican. Barring anything unexpected, this looks like a safe Republican hold.
The sixth Congressional district, occupying the peninsula in the western part of the state, is served by Democratic Rep. Derek Kilmer. Decisively winning an open seat election in 2012, Kilmer has a commanding 58-34% lead over Republican Marty McClendon.
The seventh Congressional district, along the western side of King County, is held tightly by Democrat Jim McDermott, with a 76-9% lead over nearest challenger, Republican Craig Keller.
Moving on to an equally one-sided match-up, the eighth Congressional district is led by Republican Dave Reichert, who has a 62-28% lead over Democrat Jason Ritchie. Those numbers should tighten up a bit, as Ritchie split the vote with another Democrat, so the Republican-Democrat split is really about 62-38%. While that is far from competitive, Democrats will work to change it from being a guaranteed Republican hold to only a safe Republican district, and eventually to a leans Republican status, and finally to a toss-up.
Democrat Adam Smith holds the ninth Congressional district, in southwest King County and part of Pierce County. Elected in 1996, Smith leads the primary vote 63-28% over Republican Doug Basler. Those numbers should actually shift a little more towards Smith, as another Democrat stole 5% of the vote from him.
Last is Washington's tenth Congressional district, occupying most of Thurston County. This one is fairly close, with Democratic incumbent Denny Heck leading Republican challenger Joyce McDonald 51-41%. This is Heck's first time up for election as the incumbent, so McDonald will hope that strong Republican turnout in November leads her to switch the district to Republican control. While this new district appears to lean Democratic, if things fall the right way, Republicans might pull off an upset here.
So all in all, if Democrats hope to gain any seats in Washington, it will probably be Beutler's third district. Republicans will eye the first and tenth district as the most vulnerable, both being freshmen incumbents (DelBene and Heck, respectively). However, presently both of the Democratic incumbents lead with over 50% of the primary vote, so strong turnout from Republicans would be a must to pick up any seats in this state. This could happen, as midterm elections historically go against the incumbent President, in this case President Obama. Republican incumbents look pretty safe in the fifth and eighth districts (Rodgers and Reichert), and Democratic incumbents look in a good spot in the second (Larsen), sixth (Kilmer) and ninth (Smith) district. The seventh district (McDermott) is a virtual lock for the Democrats, such that even qualifying it by saying it is a "virtual" lock is to greatly understate it. The open seat fourth looks to be a guaranteed Republican hold, as it appears two Republicans will advance to compete against each other in November. Still, it would be an interesting race to see play out, and how contentious the race becomes.

As investigators continued their search for 19-year-old Erin Corwin in the Joshua Tree National Park in California Monday, others were attempting to quell suspicions regarding the possible involvement of the missing woman's husband, Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jonathan Corwin, in her disappearance.
ABC News reported July 7 that the attention being placed on Jonathan Corwin was particulatrly troubling to his mother, Sheila Braden. She was quick to assure the media outlet that her son was incapable of harming his pregnant wife.
"I know that it's everyone's first thought that it's the spouse," Erin Corwin's mother-in-law told ABC News, "but if they knew John and Erin, and the relationship they had, they would know he's not capable of this."
DeeAnna Heavilin, Erin's sister-in-law, was also reluctant to point the finger at the young Marine. "If you knew him you'd know how much he loves her and what kind of an exemplary man he truly is," she said in a phone interview, according to the San Bernardino Sun. "God forbid, if harm did come to her it wasn't from his hands."
According to family members, the Marine Corps has forbidden Corwin to talk about his wife's disappearance.
Due to there being "suspicious circumstances," according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, surrounding the young mother-to-be's disappearance after leaving her Twentynine Palms home on June 28, homicide detectives -- "Specialized Investigations Division-Homicide Detail" -- have been given the lead in the investigation.
"The specialized division was asked to assume the investigation because they felt that there were definite suspicious circumstances," Cindy Bachman, spokeswoman for the sheriff's department, said, according to The Press Enterprise. She described the division as having advanced investigative skills, including interviewing techniques, and noted that it was well-suited "when it comes to investigations that involve the possibility of foul play."
Jonathan Corwin reported his wife missing the day after he last saw her. She was headed to Joshua Tree National Park in search of locations to take photographs. Her mother was coming to visit and to celebrate her upcoming twentieth birthday.
Her car, a 2013 Toyota Corolla, was found June 30 in Twentynine Palms. However, the exact location was not disclosed.
But if homicide investigators have a suspect or leads in the case, they have yet to divulge the information.
Police helicopters were in the air while ground forces scoured the park the last week searching for any sign of the missing woman, who is three months pregnant. They have met no success.
This past weekend, some 50 volunteers helped search for Corwin, something the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department had been avoiding when the investigation began. "They really don't know where she is or what happened to her, and there is the potential for foul play," Bachman said, explaining that volunteers and amateurs could potentially contaminate a possible crime scene.

Every parent has at one point or another found themselves in a debate with their kid(s). They know what they want and will ask over and over again until you finally cave in. On March 11, 2014, the Daily Mail shared the story of one mom's debate over cupcakes with her three-year-old son, Matthew (Mateo).
Linda Beltran said she was picking up Mateo and his little brother Kevin (PaPas) from their Gramma's house and was told Mateo didn't want to eat dinner. After telling him he would not be having a fun night if he didn't eat dinner, Mateo found cupcakes and "was on a mission to have them." After Linda told the boys no cupcakes, they went to ask Gramma.
This was when the negotiating began and Linda grabbed her phone, pretending to be on it and filmed Mateo's adorable but powerful argument.
"Linda, listen to me, listen to me, listen," says Mateo.
"But I have to yell at you guys," says Linda.
"Ok Linda, listen, listen, listen." says Mateo.
"You're not listening to me," Linda says.
"You're not listening to me," Mateo argues back.
While a lot of what Mateo says is not understandable, he feels he has a valid argument and makes sure his mom (Linda) it. When Linda tells Mateo she needs to spank him and his brother for trying to get Gramma to give them cupcakes, he tells her no because he (Kevin) "is his little Papaps."
Linda explained to UberConference that Mateo calls her and his dad, Kenneth by their first names when he wants to make sure they are paying attention.
At one point in the over two minute video, Mateo goes from calling her Linda to calling her honey.
Mateo definitely has a strong personality and looks like the Beltran has a future politician or lawyer in the family.

Dear Ones, matters have rally taken off with the coming of 11.11. which has opened a portal through which much Light has passed through you and into the Earth. Those of you who set the time aside to work with the Light have not only raised your own vibrations, but those of the planet. It is likely that as a result you felt uplifted and light headed, but it will settle down. Perhaps the most noticeable change within you, will be your recognition of a deeper sense of calmness and peace. As you partake in further upliftments, so you will become even more at One, and others will "feel" the powerful energies that you are sending out. You are now in the time you have been waiting for, and as you look around you will see changes taking place everywhere. It will bring joy and happiness into being, and that again will lift the vibrations.
Thank you SaLuSa.

Looking for Scriptures and sentiments for special people celebrating birthdays?
Everyone loves birthdays, especially his or her own. Birthdays offer wonderful opportunities for recognizing the folks we love and bestowing special greetings and gifts on them.
How can we make birthday cards and greetings more personal and thoughtful? What can we do to make birthday salutations more special and memorable? Why not include an appropriate Bible verse or two to encourage and affirm the birthday celebrant?
10 super Scriptures for birthday cards and greetings
Choosing personalized passages (Bible verses) from the Word of God is a super way to make a birthday or gift unique and meaningful. Here are our top ten favorite Bible verses for birthday cards and greetings.
This content is copyrighted. Please feel free to share the http/link, but no cut-and-paste copying or republishing without permission of the author.
These 10 birthday-appropriate Bible verses are listed here in biblical order.
1. A biblical birthday blessing
"God bless you and keep you, God smile on you and gift you, God look you full in the face and make you prosper." (Numbers 6:24-26, MSG)
This passage, taken from the Old Testament book of Numbers, offers a classic Biblical benediction, or blessing. An often-quoted section of the Torah, or Pentateuch, this Scripture cites the Lord's instructions to the high priest Aaron for blessing His people.
What higher blessing might you offer to a special friend or family member than to inscribe these words on a birthday card or greeting? A birthday celebrant's heart might be greatly warmed to hear such an encouragement of faith. Praying this Scripture and asking for the Lord's full blessing on someone you love is a wonderful gift indeed.
2. A biblical birthday exclamation
"You have filled my heart with great joy. It is greater than the joy of people who have lots of grain and fresh wine." (Psalm 4:7, NIrV)
Penned by King David of Israel, this verse proclaims sincere gratitude for the continuing provision of the Lord. This Scripture is particularly appropriate for a birthday card or greeting, because birthdays are excellent occasions for reflecting on the past and looking forward to the future. Affirming the birthday celebrant's trust in God's love and provision is a precious present.
3. A biblical birthday petition
"The one thing I ask of the Lord – the thing I seek most – is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord's perfections and meditating in His Temple." (Psalm 27:4, NLT)
Traditionally, many folks have enjoyed compiling birthday wish-lists. New toys, togs and trinkets usually top such lists. However, this psalm, also written by King David, offers a restored perspective. What really matters, as one faces another year of life?
This Scripture reminds both the birthday celebrant and the well-wisher of the highest value of all, delighting in the presence of the Lord. How lovely it might be to add this Bible quotation to a birthday card or greeting.
4. A biblical birthday expression
"This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24, NASB)
This brief verse, taken from the very center of the entire Bible, is probably the most commonly cited birthday-appropriate Scripture of all time. Who doesn't love rejoicing on a happy birthday?
Of course, this Bible verse also points out an important truth, lest we forget to give God the credit and the praise for another year of blessing. Surely, anyone who lives to celebrate another birthday has reason to be thankful to the Lord. Perhaps this is the reason this verse appears on so many birthday cards and greetings.
5. A biblical birthday truth
"All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." (Psalm 139:16b, NIV)
Our omniscient God knows the end from the beginning, and vice versa. Throughout the Bible, God's all-knowing wisdom is demonstrated and celebrated.
In this popular psalm, filled with super self-image affirmation, King David recognizes the Lord's daily and active involvement in his own life. He understands that God holds each of his days within His power and grace.
What an appropriate reminder for anyone celebrating a birthday. After all, no one knows how many days or years he may live to see, except God. Those who trust Him are able to rest in His loving hands, no matter what happens. A birthday card or greeting is an ideal spot for adding this Scriptural statement.
6. A biblical birthday promise
"I love those who love Me, and those who seek Me early and diligently shall find Me." (Proverbs 8:17, AMP)
This Bible promise, excerpted from the Old Testament book of Proverbs, or Wisdom, quotes the Lord God with a clear promise. The Lord vows that those who truly seek Him will surely find Him. What a wonderful truth for birthday celebrants or anyone!
As a birthday celebrant anticipates another year of life, why not add this Bible verse to his or her birthday card or greeting? Can there be a more suitable occasion for reminding a loved one that God wants to walk through each day with him or her?
7. A biblical birthday affirmation
"I always thank God for you because of His grace given you in Christ Jesus." (1 Corinthians 1:4, NIV)
Usually, when we present someone with a birthday card or greeting, we do so out of love and appreciation for the birthday celebrant.
This brief Bible verse, taken from the Apostle Paul's letter to the early Corinthian church, eloquently offers an affirmation of friendship. Paul expresses how he thanks the Lord for those he loves. Including this verse in a birthday salutation extends the same sentiment to the birthday celebrant.
Are you grateful for someone special? Why not say so on his or her birthday?
8. A biblical birthday assurance
"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." (Ephesians 2:10, NLT)
What birthday celebrant would not be encouraged by hearing that he or she is "God's masterpiece"? This Scripture, quoted from the Apostle Paul's letter to the early church at Ephesus, reminds readers of their God-given potential. What a wonderful assurance to include in a birthday card or greeting.
9. A biblical birthday encouragement
"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you." (Philippians 1:3, AMP)
This often-quoted Bible verse offers both a Scriptural encouragement and a personal affirmation. Originally, the Apostle Paul penned these words to express his gratitude for the joyful and faithful believers in the early Philippian church.
By citing this Scripture in a birthday card or greeting, you can let the birthday celebrant know just how much he or she means to you – and to God.
10. A biblical birthday intercession
"Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well." (3 John 1:2, NIV)
The Apostle John wrote these words to an esteemed elder of the early Christian church. However, these lines are also most appropriate for a birthday card or greeting today.
By including this Bible verse in a birthday salutation, you can encourage the birthday celebrant with your commitment to pray for him or her. Interceding for someone you love and asking the Lord to bless that person's soul is a wonderful gift indeed.

It may not have been pretty, but it sure was effective.
Spurred by a frenzied defensive effort, the Miami Heat forced the Dallas Mavericks into a physical low-scoring slugfest, a type of game Dallas is not too familiar with.
It is often said that styles make fights.
With two teams that couldn't be more dissimilar, it became clear that the side that could control the tempo and style of play was going to be in an advantageous position.
Dallas got a taste of what it is like to play an Eastern Conference playoff game.
The defense was tighter, the fouls were harder and open looks rarer.
Miami was again able to outrebound a taller opponent, winning the battle of the boards by 10, 46-36.
For casual fans, the game was hardly ideal with defense being the theme of the night and neither team shooting better than 40 percent.
Yesterday I mentioned that while Dallas would be the best offensive team Miami had faced, the Mavericks hadn't experienced a defense as suffocating as the Heat's.
That was evident last night.
In past rounds, whenever opponents double-teamed Dirk Nowitzki, it resulted in wide-open looks for other Mavericks players.
Not against the Heat.
Miami was able to smother Nowitzki whenever he caught the ball in a dangerous position, and then, thanks to sheer athleticism the wing players were able to close out on Dallas' shooters so ridiculously quickly that the open looks became contested jump shots in just a matter of milliseconds.
As was the case in '06, Udonis Haslem played a vital role defensively, never leaving Nowitzki's side.
Along with Joel Anthony, Haslem played Nowitzki about as well as you could hope to.
Yes, he still scored 28 points, but on 7-of-19 shooting.
It was his third-lowest shooting percentage (39 percent) of these playoffs.
Similarly, thanks in large part to Anthony's lateral quickness, Miami did what no other team has been able to do: keep JJ Barea out of the paint.
Barea was a nonfactor in Game One, scoring just two points in 18 minutes on 1-for-8 shooting.
You also have to give Erik Spoelstra credit for another defensive wrinkle: putting 6-foot-8 LeBron James on 6-foot-1 Jason Terry.
Terry is often the Mavericks' second best player, but by putting James on him, Miami effectively took him out of the game in the second half.
"Whatever it takes for our team, if I need to be on Terry, if I need to be on anyone on their team, I just try to take the challenge," James said in the postgame press conference.
On the other end, James put in the type of performance that we've come to expect from him: An efficient 24 points (9-for-16 shooting), along with nine rebounds and five assists.
Somehow James is still able to play 45 minutes and not look any worse for wear. He's a different class of athlete.
His jump shot has also been more accurate than ever before. James is shooting a career-best 40 percent from three-point range in these playoffs.
Going into the game, there were concerns about Dwyane Wade. What Wade would show up?
Game One has to be a positive sign for Heat fans.
Early on in the first half, we saw the same hesitance from Wade that has characterized his play recently.
Again he was passing up opportunities he usually doesn't think twice about taking.
There still seems to be less than complete confidence in his jump shot.
But in the second half he came alive.
Wade was all over the court: attacking the rim, blocking shots and grabbing rebounds.
He again came through in the fourth quarter, leading the Heat with seven points and three assists.
"Obviously I made some shots tonight," Wade told the media in the postgame press conference. "But we all made plays down the stretch to win the ball game."
Should he continue to play at this level, it's hard to see the Heat losing this series.
Looking ahead to the rest of the series, it's hard to imagine both teams shooting below 40 percent in too many more games.
Obviously, both teams will make adjustments, the Mavericks more so.
What it may come down to is the Mavericks going smaller and playing more shooters, in the hope of making Miami pay for double-teaming Nowtizki.
Or it could be as simple as creating better opportunities for Nowitzki by having him come off screens to give him more space and time before help arrives.
Then again, there are only so many adjustments you can make to combat a defense as dominant as Miami's.
On the Heat's end, you have to wonder how much longer Spoelstra will persevere with Mike Bibby in the starting lineup.
Bibby missed four wide-open three-point shots and considering he's only shooting an abysmal 22 percent from that distance in the playoffs, time could be wearing thin.
Beyond that, it's hard to see Miami tinkering too much with what has been an almost flawless game plan to this point.
The onus will be on maintaining the effort.
And with Miami now only being three wins away from the Larry O'Brien trophy, effort should hardly be an issue.
As always, feel free to leave any thoughts or feelings below.
