Richmond, VA - Over the past two days, former governor and U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine was joined on the campaign trail by U.S. Senator Mark Warner for economic and grassroots events across the state. During business visits and town halls in Norfolk, Richmond, Fredericksburg, Manassas, and Ashburn, Warner spoke of the need for more leaders in Washington like Tim Kaine who are willing to work across party lines to get results. Kaine shared his strategies for creating jobs, strengthening the economy, responsibly reducing the deficit, and avoiding the looming sequestration cuts which would hurt Virginia's economy and cost the Commonwealth jobs.
Kaine and Warner were also joined by Congressman Gerry Connolly for a tour of one of the new Tysons Corner metro stops currently under construction as part of the rail to Dulles project that Kaine helped get under way after decades of delay and inaction.
During grassroots events in Prince William County and Alexandria, Kaine and Warner were joined by Congressmen Gerry Connolly and Jim Moran to thank volunteers for their time and support and share with them the importance of grassroots energy in this race.
Below is some of the coverage of Kaine and Warner's two day tour through the Commonwealth.
Virginian-Pilot: Seven weeks out from the Nov. 6 election and still in a very close race with Republican George Allen, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine dropped in on a Norfolk business Monday to tout his proposals for creating jobs and improving the economy. It was the first stop on a daylong barnstorming tour across Virginia with Sen. Mark Warner, a fellow Democrat who portrayed Kaine as a centrist like him who would help break Congress's partisan gridlock. "Washington is a pretty screwy place at this point," Warner told employees at Grow Interactive, a digital marketing firm on Granby Street. "We need more people who are going to get stuff done." …Congress needs more lawmakers like Warner who are willing to work across party lines to solve the nation's budget woes, Kaine said in Norfolk…At Grow Interactive, Kaine and Warner toured the company's urban-chic workplace, where a pingpong table occupies center stage and employees' bikes hang on brick walls. The 7-year-old company has 23 employees and boasts clients such as Google and HBO. Kaine called the company "Exhibit A for how a talent strategy drives the economy." He said he has a "missionary zeal" about boosting the nation's talent pool with investments in early childhood education, career and technical training, and expanded college access.
Loudoun Times-Mirror: For the second consecutive day, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) joined former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine on the campaign trail, as Kaine tries to secure votes for his Senate bid against Republican George Allen, another former Governor of Virginia…Kaine served as lieutenant governor while Warner was governor from 2002 to 2006. During that term, Kaine said he learned from Warner a great deal about balancing a budget and making strategic cuts. The former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Kaine, touted his experience in the governor's mansion, during which he was forced to plug a multi-billion dollar shortfall in the state's budget during the Great Recession…Warner praised Kaine as a guy who knows how to compromise and reach across the aisle, a trait severely needed in the Senate.
Leesburg Today: Former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine and U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) embarked on an unusual tour Tuesday morning. With noise-reduction earmuffs and see-through protective glasses on hand, they strolled through the paintball-stained walls of MVM, Inc.—a security and logistics contractor for various branches of the military and government agencies—where they were met with two mock war situations…Following the tour, U.S. Senate hopeful Kaine and Warner entered a room with a starkly different ambiance...to lead an employee town hall meeting. Throughout Monday and Tuesday, the men attended numerous economic events, including that at MVM, which is located along Guilford Drive in Ashburn, an area with which Kaine is familiar…Beginning the meeting with about 50 of the company's employees, Warner focused his remarks on the importance of Congressional members "checking" their Republican and Democratic hats at the door to put the interests of the country first—something he said he believes Kaine, whom he has known for more than 40 years, is able to do…Pointing at Kaine, Warner said he hoped those in the audience would vote for him for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA), who is not seeking another term for office, because he always produces results and never plays the blame game. Throughout his campaign trail, Kaine has talked about smoothing out the differences in Congress, noting that its members—regardless of their political affiliation—should focus on two skills: listening and compromising. Kaine thanked Warner and said when he was Virginia lieutenant governor in the early 2000s, he took notes as he watched Warner fulfill his duties as Virginia governor. He then shifted his discussion to his goal, if elected to the Senate, of bringing more talent into the workforce—a concept he said MVM has already grasped, as it prepares people "to handle the most challenging situations humans have to deal with." Noting that the unemployment rate for military veterans is down, Kaine said there should to be more traction to allow those coming out of the military to properly adjust to civilian life. Finishing his speech, Kaine continued to stress the country's need to grow and attract talented people, which in turn draws institutions that want also to bring in talent. During past campaign speeches, Kaine has also heavily emphasized that he wants to bolster the economy by utilizing infrastructure projects and leveling the playing field for small businesses, as well as alleviate the country's debt by making cuts, while simultaneously making investments to help the United States prosper.
WCVE: At a campaign stop at Health Diagnostics Labs in Richmond yesterday, Senator Mark Warner said Tim Kaine would work to build compromise in a sharply divided Washington. Craig Carper reports.
Politico: For the third time this cycle, Kaine hit the campaign trail with popular moderate Democratic Sen. Mark Warner on Monday in an explicit bid for the 6 percent to 8 percent of the electorate who have yet to make up their minds. "Letter after the candidate's name doesn't matter to them," Kaine said, describing the voters still on the fence. "They're looking to see who can best help people work together in Washington."… But in the battle for undecideds, Kaine believes he has an unrivaled surrogate in Warner…Enlisting the senator was a pointed effort to reaffirm Kaine's nonpartisan bona fides and rekindle some of the magic from their days as popular governors…It wasn't by coincidence that Warner made his pitch for Kaine at a private laboratory inside a biotechnology park that was developed when Kaine served as Richmond's mayor and Allen was governor…"There is a sense that's what missing is a teamwork attitude. We've worked as a team already, and we worked as a team with two Republican Houses. We know how to reach across the aisle. Mark exemplifies that. But we'll be good teammates for the country," Kaine told reporters.Richmond Times-Dispatch: On Monday, Kaine kicked off a two-day campaign tour with Sen. Mark R. Warner, D-Va., the state's popular junior senator with a reputation for reaching across the aisle. At Richmond's Health Diagnostic Laboratory Inc., one of six stops Monday, Kaine said he routinely campaigns with Warner because he's a friend, but he added that Warner "exemplifies" the "teamwork attitude" he sees as being critical to voters, and to producing results in Washington. "We know how to reach across the aisle; we know how to be true to our own values and principles but also be good listeners and find common ground," Kaine said, commenting that undecided voters are looking for "who can best help people work together in Washington so that we can grow the economy and fix the budget."
NBC 4: Tim Kaine and George Allen do agree on this: those automatic defense cuts, the fallout from the budget stand-off on Capitol Hill, need to be stopped before they kick in next year. Because what's on the line is up to 200,000 Virginia jobs, many of them in Northern Virginia…Tim Kaine toured a Loudoun County business called MVM that does arms training and got a close up view of a live fire exercise... Democrat Kaine's solution involves raising revenue while also making some cuts. Like President Obama, he supports ending the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy. But he proposes letting them expire on those who earn more than half a million dollars. Kaine: "That brings $500 billion in revenue onto the table for the next ten years. Now the trillion dollar sequester becomes a $500 billion issue. Repeal the part of Medicare that says we can't negotiate for prices of prescription drugs. If you do that you save $250 billion over ten years." Kaine would also end subsidies to the biggest oil companies.
WAVY: Tim Kaine, who is running for U.S. Senate and U.S. Senator Mark Warner met in Norfolk Monday to formally seek a compromise to sequestration and the looming cuts to the defense budget. Kaine and Warner, both Democrats, appeared together at Grow Innovative, a downtown Norfolk marketing firm. Kaine said he is hopeful his Republican opponent, former senator George Allen's ideas about the budget impasse, are more a part of the problem than a solution. "There were two strategies a year ago around the debt ceiling situation," Kaine said. "One that suggested the nation should default on its credit for the first time ever. My opponent and a few others, they were loud but they were small in number promoted that point of view. That would have created a fiscal collapse like the 2008 fiscal collapse."
Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star: The threat of sequestration and a limited pool of qualified potential employees are both standing in the way of HDT Robotics hiring, the company's chief operating officer told a pair of former Virginia governors Monday. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both Democrats, visited HDT Robotics' high-tech Wolfe Street office in downtown Fredericksburg as part of a whirlwind day that included numerous campaign stops between Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia…Warner and Kaine said Congress needs to come to a compromise to avoid the "blunt-instrument" cuts associated with sequestration.
DC Examiner: Tim Kaine and George Allen sparred over threatened military cuts during trips through Northern Virginia Monday, with both candidates for the state's open U.S. Senate seat agreeing that Congress must avoid those cuts but disagreeing on how to accomplish that. During a visit to Aurora Flight Sciences in Manassas, Kaine called on Congress to nix the looming defense cuts, which promise to hit Virginia especially hard, and replace them by letting the Bush-era tax cuts expire for those earning more than $500,000 and eliminating tax breaks for oil companies. "We can get there in a way that won't hurt the economy and it won't jeopardize defense," Kaine said. The Democratic Senate hopeful enlisted the help of Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., to provide a firsthand account of how Congress enacted a plan to put $500 billion in military spending on the chopping block as a last resort for a deficit reduction plan. The two embarked on a six-stop tour of the Old Dominion on Monday that started in Hampton Roads and ended in Northern Virginia, two regions with strong ties to the Pentagon… Kaine has hoped to link Allen to a dysfunctional Congress that triggered the defense cuts. The Democrat hopes that by appearing with Warner -- whose penchant for working across the aisle appeals to Virginia voters -- he will appear to rise above Washington's bickering. "We just need more teamwork in the Senate and he and I would be a good team," Kaine said of his friend.
Huntington-Belle Haven Patch: U.S. Senate candidate Tim Kaine stumped in Huntington on Monday night, painting opponent George Allen as a man who would fail to invest in America and reverse economic gains. Kaine spent the day touring the state with U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Virginia) and stopped at the Huntington phone bank on North Kings Highway at the end of the day. The Democrat and former Virginia governor highlighted his differences with Allen, the Republican candidate and also a former Virginia governor, on growing the economy, shrinking the budget deficit and making Washington work again. Kaine painted Allen as a candidate who would narrow the deficit by cutting Medicare and Medicaid, education, Pell grants and spending on veterans and defense. He spoke in favor of letting the Bush tax cuts expire. "If you get some revenue, and then you save some money with some smart savings, you can fix our budgetary problems a right way, a balanced way that involves revenues and cuts," he said. "I know how to make cuts – I'm the only governor in modern times who left office with a budget smaller than when I started, because of the times I inherited. But there is no way you can cut your way to prosperity." No family has ever done that, Kaine said. No business has ever done that. "As I often like to say, I always, when I look in the mirror, wish I was thinner," he said. "I never wish I was weaker. I never wish I was weaker. And an all-cuts approach is like looking in the mirror and wishing you were weaker. We've got to be stronger. We've got to be tougher. We've got to make the investments to do that." He also spoke of the need to find common ground in politics. He painted Allen as a "name-caller." "I know one thing to a rock-solid certainty," he said. "We don't need more of that in Washington to fix what's wrong with Washington. We're not going to fix Washington by fighting with each other. We're going to fix Washington by listening and working together." Kaine thanked volunteers, whom he contrasted to large donors to super-PACs. "You are what is standing between maintaining a tradition of person-to-person politics in this country and a brave new world of super-PACs and negative ads and undisclosed secret money," he said. "We do not make to make the wrong choice when it comes to that choice. And we want to hold on to what is so fantastic about this great American political system we have, and what's fantastic about it is exactly what you're doing by being here tonight."

2008 Research Summary
Broadband LNA Design Employing Noise and Distortion Cancellation (COGUR)
View Current Project Information
Ali Niknejad and Wei-Hung Chen
The emerging 4G telecom system envisages ubiquitous wireless connectivity that supports multiple radio standards across multiple frequency bands and features reconfigurability for agile service switching and adaptive power consumption in response to the radio dynamics [1]. One key challenge in bringing out a multi-standard multi-mode front-end resides in fulfilling the high linearity and low noise over a wide frequency range [2]. Even in a "digital" receiver application, employing discrete-time signal processing, a linear front-end amplifier is required to reject the noise and relax the performance of the subsequent samplers [3]. The straight solution for multi-standard multi-mode front-ends employs reactive tuning and multiple receiving paths at cost of die and board area, high pin count, and lack of reconfigurability. Recent demonstration of ultra-wideband (UWB) LNAs ranging from several hundreds of MHz up to 10 GHz suggests an alternative that uses a single LNA for contiguous broadband signal receiving and has achieved comparable performances to its narrow-band counterparts by exploiting high fT /fmax transistors available from nano-scale CMOS.
In this project, we investigate the third-order linearity enhancement by canceling the second- and third-order distortions of the LNA circuit through multiple techniques. We present a broadband inductorless LNA circuit topology suitable for simultaneous noise and distortion cancellation and capable of low noise figure and high IIP3 at the same time. The proposed LNA topology also features great reconfigurability of trading LNA power consumption off other designated performance metrics such as noise figure, linearity, and gain. Manufactured in 0.13 µm CMOS technology, the prototype noise and distortion-canceling LNA achieved a peak IIP3 of +16 dBm and a noise figure below 2.6 dB over a wide bandwidth from 800-2100 MHz [4]. It uses nominal supply voltage of 1.5 V and regular Vt transistors. A maximum current of 11.6 mA is consumed in the above high performance mode and can be reduced if the required LNA dynamic range also reduces.

With a UV Index of 9 which is ranked "Very High," you might think a boat out on the water would be the last place for good skin care, beauty and anti-aging tips. However, on Sat., April 27 that is exactly what occurred when several Bellevue and West Nashville residents were invited on a yacht cruise on the Cumberland to learn more about Rodan + Fields Dermatologists skin care. The cruise was co-hosted by the Bellevue Area Examiner.
Of course, everyone had been instructed to wear their sunscreen and sunglasses to protect themselves from the sun's rays before coming on the cruise, and the upper deck had a protective canopy to shield the guests from the sun's photo-aging rays.
The group met at West Nashville's Commodore Yacht Club at 1 p.m. and enjoyed a scenic cruise down the Cumberland River, passing the home of country music artist Kenny Chesney before stopping at an eagles' news where one of the majestic birds was perched, watching out for its young. Guests brought snacks, the hosts brought beverages and snacks and most of the outing was fellowship and fun in the sun.
The boat turned around to make its way back to the marina but stopped a little ways out for a short presentation on the Rodan + Fields products and business. Many of the guests won prizes from Essentials Lip Shield SPF 25 to Reverse Sunscreen, vitamin D tablets to microdermabrasion paste.
You can find out more about Rodan + Fields here and on this Facebook page. If you have any questions about skin issues, Rodan + Fields skin care, this article or about writing for Examiner, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

What am I doing?
After a few years of only uploading once or twice a month I am trying to push myself to draw better quality art faster and update more often. I know I might not reach that goal, but hell! Why not try eh?
Anything to add?
Please check out 2 of my good friends
As they have got a table at the next mcm expo at London!

Hindu religion talks of the feelings of 'I-ness' and 'Mine-ness' as maya. It is this ignorance that obstructs one's path to God-realization and happiness in life. One should recognise it as it manifests in various forms in our lives in this age of self- centeredness.

Junior midfielder Leo Stolz has been selected as one of three finalists for the prestigious MAC Hermann Trophy, as announced by the NSCAA today. Stolz joins Maryland's Patrick Mullins and Notre Dame's Harrison Shipp as the finalists for the award.
The MAC Hermann Trophy is the highest individual intercollegiate soccer award presented annually during a banquet at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis. This year's banquet will take place on Friday, Jan. 10, 2014.
Stolz is UCLA's first MAC Hermann Trophy finalist since Sasha Victorine won the MAC trophy in 1999. Stolz became the sixth UCLA player all-time to be named Pac-12 Player of the Year in 2013 after leading the conference in points (30) and goals (11). The Munich, Germany native also finished tied for the team lead in assists with eight and ranks 13th nationally in points, 20th in goals scored and 25th in assists. He finished tied for the conference lead with four game-winning goals as well and posted three multi-goal games on the year. Additionally, Stolz recorded at least one point in 10 of his final 14 matches and was named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week four times this season. In the NCAA Second Round against Elon on Nov. 24, Stolz recorded three assists, which were the most by a UCLA player in a postseason game since Cliff McKinley had three vs. Penn State in the 2002 NCAA Quarterfinals.
On the women's side, UCLA defender Abby Dahlkemper was named a finalist for the women's MAC Hermann Trophy, making UCLA the only school with a finalist on both the men's and the women's sides. UCLA's men's soccer program has had two MAC Hermann Trophy winners - Brad Friedel, who won the Hermann Trophy in 1992, and Victorine, who won the MAC Trophy in 1999. The two awards were unified into the MAC Hermann Trophy in 2002.

LAST TIME OUT: On Arizona's Senior Day, Kyle Fogg saved his best for last as the Wildcats rallied for the 65-63 win over UCLA last Saturday. Fogg scored 16 of his game-high 20 points in the second half, including 13 in the final six minutes, igniting a 17-7 UA run in 5:08 of that span that allowed the Cats to take the lead - capped by a Fogg trey with 53 ticks remaining. Arizona used its quickness to get to the line, outscoring UCLA 23-11 at the stripe, to offset the Bruins' +12 advantage in points in the paint. Jesse Perry and Solomon Hill added 16 and 13 points, respectively.
SCOUTING ARIZONA STATE: The Sun Devils enter today's game with a 9-20 record (5-12 Pac-12) following Saturday's 56-52 win over USC. On the year, ASU averages 60.0 points, shoots 45.3 percent from the floor (605-of-1,337), 35.8 percent (167-of-466) from three-point range and 66.9 percent (362-of-541) from the line. Opponents average 65.2 points, are outrebounded by 1.9 boards per game and shoot 42.8 percent from the floor (650-of-1,519). Individually, two ASU players average in double figures, led by Trent Lockett's 13.0 ppg figure. He also leads the Sun Devils with a 5.8 rebounds per game average.
THE SERIES: Today's game is the 222nd meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 142-79 series advantage. Arizona has won 28 of the last 35 meetings in the series, which dates back to 1914, including the last, a 68-51 decision on Dec. 31 in Tucson. All-time, Arizona is 79-28 in series games played in Tucson, 62-50 in Tempe, and 1-1 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 46 in the UA media guide.
LAST MEETING: Arizona 68, Arizona State 51, Dec. 31, 2011: Arizona used an 11-0 run late in the first half and a quick 12-2 burst to open the second half and build as much as a 24-point lead in UA's first-ever Pac-12 game. UA outshot, outrebounded and held sizeable advantages in points off turnovers and second chance points. Jesse Perry led all scorers with 16 points and was joined in double figures by Solomon Hill (11) and Nick Johnson (14). Josiah Turner added five steals.
A NICE WEEK: Kyle Fogg was named Pac-12 Player of the Week for the second time this season after leading Arizona to a sweep in two games this last week by averaging 18.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists as the Wildcats won for the eighth time in the last 10 games. The senior guard also connected on 43.5 percent of his field goals (10-of-23), 40.0 percent (4-of-10) of his three-point attempts and 75.0 percent (12-of-16) of his free throws. Included in the effort was his second double-double of the season in the win Thursday and his fifth 20-point game of 2011-12 on Saturday. He opened the week with 16 points, a career-high 12 boards and two assists Thursday vs. USC and added game-high totals of 20 points and nine rebounds Saturday vs. UCLA. Fogg scored 16 of those 20 points in the final 9:57, including 13 in the last 6:03 as Arizona rallied for the win. His trey with 53 seconds to go capped a 17-7 UA run that gave the Wildcats a six-point lead. Fogg was equally as good defensively this week, as his primary defensive assignments were a combined 5-of-26 (.192) from the field and totaled 12 points. On the year, Fogg averages 13.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.
A WIN TODAY: A victory today would give Arizona a 6-3 road record in Pac-12 play. It would mark the first time the program has won six or more conference road games since 2006-07. Since joining the league in 1978-79, Arizona has won six or more conference road games 14 times previously (1987, `88. `89, `90, `93, `94, `95, `96, `98, 2000, `01, `03, `05, `07). In the Sean Miller era, UA is a league-best 14-12 in road tilts.
CALENDAR WATCHING: The Wildcats enjoyed a strong month of February, posting a 7-1 record, including a 3-1 mark on the road. That is a reversal of fortune for Arizona under Sean Miller, as the Cats were 7-7 in the first two seasons of his tenure, easily the worst record of any month of the season. Looking ahead to March, Arizona is 9-3 in the Sean Miller era in the third month of the year.
TIGHT QUARTERS: Bolstered by 49 combined points from Arizona's most veteran players (Kyle Fogg/Solomon Hill/Jesse Perry) last Saturday, the Cats picked up a 65-63 win over UCLA. Not only was the two-point margin of victory UA's smallest of the year, it was also the program's third straight win in games decided by five points or less. Now 3-4 in that category, Arizona started the year 0-4 in games decided by five points or less. UA's five Pac-12 losses have been by a total of 21 points (4.2 ppg).
PLAYING FROM BEHIND: The UCLA game also marked just the third time this season that Arizona has won a game in which it has trailed with five minutes remaining in the second half, but two of those wins (Utah, Feb. 11) have come in conference play. In the three games in which Arizona has come from behind late to win, the Wildcats limited those opponents to an average of 54.3 points.
STRENGTH IN THE NUMBERS: During Arizona's last 10 games, the Cats have done more than a few things well. First, the team is averaging just 11.5 turnovers per game and has a positive turnover margin (+.0.6). Secondly, the Cats are shooting it very well from three-point range, connecting on 40 percent (74-of-185) of its attempts from behind the arc. Finally, UA is getting to the free throw line, as the club is averaging 25.7 free throw attempts per game in that span and outscoring opponents by an average of 5.5 points per game from the stripe. Each of those figures is an improvement over the Cats' 30-game figures: 12.4 turnovers per game, -0.5 turnover margin, .378 three-point FG percentage, 22.9 free throw attempts per game and +4.0 ppg from, the free throw line.
PLAYING BIG: Senior forward Jesse Perry more than held his own against the imposing UCLA frontline Saturday, as he tallied 16 points and eight rebounds in 33 minutes. Despite giving up three inches in height to the Wear twins and Joshua Smith, the 6-foot-7 Perry posted his best scoring and rebounding totals in five games and used his quickness to get to the line nine times (made eight). He also passed out two assists and added a block. On the season, Perry averages 11.9 points and 7.2 rebounds while shooting .489 from the field (128-of-262).
AN ADDITIVE EFFECT: Junior Solomon Hill has turned himself into one of Arizona's most consistent performers, totaling 13 points and four boards against UCLA. The 6-foot-6 native of Los Angeles, Calif., leads the Wildcats with 22 games of 10 or more points and 26 games with five or more rebounds. In fact, half of Perry's 44 career games scoring in double figures have come this season. Through 30 games, Hill is averaging 12.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game to go with a .492 (124-of-252) field goal percentage. Over his last 10 games, Hill has cranked it up from three-point range as well, connecting on 44.4 percent of his attempts (12-of-27).
NEARING THE TOP: Aside from his in-game statistical efforts, Kyle Fogg also reached another career milestone Saturday just by checking in as he passed the greatest Wildcat of them all, Sean Elliott, in career appearances. Fogg now has played in 134 games in his collegiate career, a figure that ranks second in UA annals. He trails only Jason Gardner, who played in 136 career games from 1999-2003, and could surpass him if things work out positively in the postseason.
LEADING INDICATORS: Through 30 games this season, Arizona is 17-3 when leading at the half (10-2 Pac-12). Overall, Arizona has outscored foes by an average of 2.2 points per game in the first half. That figure rises to 2.9 points in Pac-12 play and 3.2 points in UA's last 10 games. Perhaps even more positively for the Cats is the fact that the team outscores its foes by even more points in the second half of each of those breakdowns: 5.1 ppg overall, 4.1 ppg Pac-12 and 4.3 ppg in the last 10 games.
CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS: One could suppose that it's nice to win even when not at your best. The Feb. 25 win over UCLA marked the first time this season that Arizona had won a game in which it had been outshot (.410-.383) and outrebounded (37-32). UA has only been outrebounded nine times in 30 games to date. When needed, the Cats turned to the charity stripe, as the team made five more free throws (23) than UCLA attempted and held a +12 advantage in free throw points, including a +9 figure in the second half. Interestingly, all 32 of Arizona's free throw attempts came from only four players: Kyle Fogg (10-of-13), Jesse Perry (8-of-9), Solomon Hill (3-of-6) and Josiah Turner (2-of-4).
FILLING IN: Since Jordin Mayes went down with a left foot injury on Feb. 2, a trio of Wildcats have stepped things up in the seven games since. Kyle Fogg (+2.4 ppg), Brendon Lavender (+2.4) and Angelo Chol (+1.3) have combined to score on average 6.1 more points per game in that span. Collectively, the Wildcats have also improved its accuracy from the free throw line, connecting on 70.4 percent of its attempts (126-of-179) and outscoring foes by 7.4 points from the stripe over the last seven games.
RECRUITING CLASS: The Arizona coaching staff signed four student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent as part of the November early signing period. Brandon Ashley (F, 6-8, 215) from Oakland, Calif., who preps at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev.; Grant Jerrett (F, 6-10, 220) from LaVerne, Calif., who preps at LaVerne Lutheran H.S.; Kaleb Tarczewski (C, 7-0, 220) from Southborough, Mass., who preps at St. Mark's School; and Gabe York (G, 6-1, 170) from Orange, Calif., who preps at Orange Lutheran H.S.; make up a class that was ranked No. 1 nationally by espn.com and rivals.com.
UP NEXT: The Wildcats head to Los Angeles, Calif., to take part in the 2012 Pacific Life Pac-12 Tournament at the Staples Center, March 7-10. Seedings are still to be announced, but game times are scheduled for noon PST, 2:30, 6 and 8:30 p.m. for the first two days of the event.

Editor's Note: Love it or hate it, Date Night is a reality for all but the most unattached of couples. We'll check in [bi]monthly with dispatches on this most divisive of nights on the town.
There's something mildly electrifying about a date night. A predetermined amount of time away from responsibilities, the temporary reprieve from budgetary constraints caused by an affected or not special occasion, and the all-to-brief chance to stare wi

After a long day walking the hotels, eating the buffets and contributing to the Las Vegas economy at the slots or tables, a pool is a great place to relax and get recharged for evening fun. Living here in no excuse for not taking advantage of the fabulous pools at the resorts in Vegas. Pools are natural attractions to seek when the digits hit triple in Las Vegas and some resort pools allow access for non guests for a cover charge. Some resorts even offer free pool access to locals on special days. Las Vegas has so many resort pools to choose from, choosing one, may be a daunting task. Most resort pools turn into a night club after dark, so choosing when to go needs to be added to the decision process. While most are for hotel guests only, resort pool areas are open to the public with a cover charge during special events such as concerts and nightclubs.
If it's daytime pool fun you seek, decide what amenities you need and narrow down your options. If you would like to go to a resort pool as a non-guest of the hotel, there are a few excellent choices. All-age pools that will be sure hits are The Luxor pool and Garden of the Gods at Caesars on the Strip, and The Tank at the Golden Nugget downtown. The Luxor pool has a $10 cover charge and has rafts and tubes available for a fee. The Garden of the Gods has an entrance fee of $20 and has one family friendly pool. The Tank has a cover charge of $20 for adults and $15 for children 2 years of age to 12 years of age. The Tank has a three-story water slide that goes through an aquarium with real sharks. The Tank is Las Vegas' most family friendly resort pool open to the public. It is absolutely a blast and a must see if you are going to spend time downtown. For more information visit http://www.luxor.com, http://caesarspalace.com, and http://www.goldennugget.com.
Several Las Vegas pools have opened up areas that allow European bathing, meaning tops for ladies are optional and you have to be 21 or older to enter. The classiest ones that are open to the public are TAO Beach at the Venetian, Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay and Venus Pool Club at Caesars. All offer cabanas and luxury service as well as poolside drinks and light snacks. Entry prices vary, but worth every penny for the atmosphere. Caesar Venus Pool Club has been free for ladies but changes based on events happening in the area. To check on cover charges and for more information visit www.venetian.com, http://www.mandalaybay.com, and http://caesarspalace.com.
If you are looking for a resort to stay at with a great pool, the best is Mandalay Bay. Arguably the best pool in Las Vegas period, Mandalay Bay Beach has several aquatic attractions. There is a lazy river, tide pool and sandy beach. Rafts and inner tubes are allowed to be brought in for use on the lazy river, or you can rent tubes there. These all-age areas are separate from the topless area of Moorea Beach Club and are only open to hotel guests. For locals, it is worth the price of a hotel room if you have a desire to experience a "Wet and Wild" like afternoon. Wet and Wild was Las Vegas' only water park until it closed, much to the dismay of locals and tourists, in 2004. For tourists this is a great place to stay because of its proximity to other resorts, amenities and other attractions around the hotel. You also have the choice of staying at the Four Seasons, located within Mandalay Bay, whose guests also get to use the pool area. Visit http://www.mandalaybay.com to see all the great things to do while staying here.

Edit Article
How to Add a Twist to a Story
Find your story to be boring? The outline dull and dry? Adding a twist in your story will increase its value dramatically. However, these twists must be believable, else they will just look silly.
1Make the twist believable. A twist is when something surprising happens in the middle of the story that changes it entire course. For example, a policeman may die, there may be a shootout, a man may go looking for his long-lost daughter, etc. You can't have a fairy popping down from heaven in a book about the underworld. And you can't have an outrageous twist which will end up spoiling the story. Make the twist believable, making it something that could actually happen if the story were real.
2Don't make the twist too outrageous. Something too surprising, and the reader will put the book down, saying it's useless. No purple dinosaurs in the middle of a mystery, please! You want something that will help make the book better, not worse. If the twist is too unimaginable, it's useless.
3Don't be too boring. The point of a twist is that it must be surprising in exactly the right amount. If another murder happens in a mystery with five murders, the sense of surprise is gone, and predictability sets in. If the chief detective's daughter is kidnapped, though, that is a good twist, and will work well for the story.
4Don't spring something on your readers by absolute surprise. Leave small clues, and slight descriptions that would eventually lead the reader up to the point if they paid attention. A good murder mystery can be solved by the reader before the detective, and this is exactly what made The Hound of the Baskervilles such a brilliant book. If a gun is fired in Act III it must be seen on the wall in Act I, and if a gun is seen on the wall in Act I, it must be fired in Act III.
5Sketch out the plot. Write the most predictable story imaginable. Namely, write what the reader would expect, and change its details. Change the main character from a boy, to a man with terminal illness. Instead of New York, take the story to Nepal, or Argentina. Don't be stingy with your creativity, spend it!
6Stay focused from the start. Short stories are generally 2500 words in length, and so therefore, one must stay focused. Don't put in drawn out build ups and intense dialogues. Keep it simple, straight forward, and short, and you'll end up with a winner.
Community Q&A
Add New Question
How do kill a character in the story?wikiHow ContributorIf your person is a villain, but not the main antagonist, you could say that they disappointed their boss, and the boss killed them. If the character is a good guy, it's probably best to have them die a heroic death, like in battle.
Ask a Question
- Get an evaluation from other people. Ask your friends, colleagues, teachers, etc how the book is. If they like it, then you're golden!
- Don't put in more than two twists in any story unless you know you can tie all the loose ends up neatly. Else, you'll end up with a nonsensical story with no head or tail at all!

Hospital Discharge Trends
Three types of health problems (respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, and injury) accounted for 44 percent of hospital discharges among children aged 1–14 years in 2005. Since 1985, overall hospital discharge rates for children in this age group declined by 37 percent, which is reflected in decreases in discharge rates for each of those three categories.
Between 1990 and 2005, hospital discharge rates for diseases of the respiratory system declined 23.1 percent for children aged 1–14 years; from 91 hospital discharges per 10,000 children in 1990 to a new low of 70 per 10,000 children in 2005. During this period, the rate of discharges due to injury also declined, from 38 to 26 per 10,000 children, or 31.6 percent. Similarly, the hospital discharge rate among children for diseases of the digestive system dropped 16.2 percent.

I'm extremely new to TeX. I'm currently using TeXShop 3.26 on OSX Mavericks. I've located the font change menu under preferences, however, after choosing my desired font, the changes only show up on the editor and not the actual document after typesetting. Thanks.
You can try for example the following commands in the preamble :
If you want to use XeTeX, you can use something like this:
You can set the engine within the menu system with
Indeed, the preferences font change menu is there only to change the font used to type your source-code in the editor, which has nothing to do with the actual font in the final document. To use a (text) font in the final document, you have two ways for proceeding : if you compile with latex or pdflatex, you need to load a package that explains (pdf)latex how to use this font – or to create one yourself, and load it. Currently, there is a comparatively small number of fonts you can use this way, among which, URW Garamond no 8, BitStream Charter, Adobe Utopia, Minion Pro, Times, Palatino, kpfonts. The corresponding packages have support for maths.
The other way is to compile with xelatex or lualatex: you then have to load the fontspec package and set any chosen font, say Adobe Caslon Pro, in this way:
You can use any font known to the system: you just have to give its name. Of course, you may have to settle some details such as using oldstyle or lining numbers, which ligatures you'll use, &c. Details are in fontspec documentation. Actually, fontspec works quite well with opentype fonts.
Notice however that it works only for text fonts. Also notice that you don't have to load the fontenc package, since it uses system fonts, nor inputenc, since it supposes your source code is utf8-encoded. By the way, I believe that TeXshop default encoding is still AppleRoman; if it's the case, you should change it to utf8.

The words "cheek stain" sound so 1960s to us, but there's nothing 1960s about Hourglass Aura Sheer Cheek Stain ($45). It's the "sheer" factor that brings it into the 21st century, giving us a hint of color, a splash of healthy glow. Oh, and this water-based formula stays in place all day so we don't have to resort to pinching our cheeks for color.
We like that there are so many products dedicated to giving us a Rosy Glow.

- Company: Emporio Armani
- Price: $62.50 for 2.5 oz. bottle
- Official Site: EmporioArmaniDiamonds.com
- Release Date: Summer 2008
Marketed as a luxurious cologne for your inner impetuous playboy, Emporio Armani's Diamonds for Men has all the markings of an affluent, much-to-enjoy fragrance. The aromas used to craft the individual scent are a study in contrasts: you have woody bouquets offset and complemented by unlikely additions of pepper and cocoa. Basically, it's a traditional men's fragrance dressed into something a bit more mysterious and sexy. And given that it's Armani, all this comes as no surprise. Diamonds for Men offers guys a sleek nighttime alternative that has the potential of becoming their new best friend.
Perhaps the first thing to catch your attention is the name. Sure, diamonds are a luxury gemstone and the ultimate symbol of pure beauty, but seldom are they associated with masculinity. There's no reason why they shouldn't be, however, so kudos to Armani for making the connection. And even more accolades to the style icon for doing so with a distinctive fragrance that men can appreciate. While all the expected ingredients are there, like the woody essences of bergamot and cedar, there are two cleverly placed aromas that bring a new appeal to the overall bouquet: Szechuan pepper and cocoa beans. On the whole, the traditional scents are nicely counterbalanced with these atypical tones. All total, with the intricate mix parlayed in the square, diamond-shaped bottle designed by the man himself, Armani has concocted an engagingly urban cologne that, oddly enough, makes men proud to be wearing "diamonds."
The idea of taking a well-received women's perfume and reinterpreting it for men isn't new, so you have to wait for the market response -- and Diamonds for Men has pros and cons that could tip the scale in either direction. For the positives, you have a unique fragrance that's perfect for a night out; it's billed as hard-to-resist and many will find it so. That's why it has the prospect of being an after-hours mainstay for the thirtysomething crowd. Unfortunately, Armani's Diamonds isn't without its flaws. There's a nice subtly that gives it a lightness on the skin, but almost to a fault: the fragrance fades away quickly. By the end of the night (when it may matter most), Diamonds may leave you flat. That said, we'll have to see if this Diamond truly is forever.

Federal Judge Reed O'Connor in Wichita Falls sentenced two drug traffickers to prison sentences, according to an article in the Wichita Falls Times Record News newspaper today, Friday, Feb. 21. A massive drug network stretching from the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex area to Wichita Falls near the Oklahoma border saw two of its merchants taken out of action when Steve Ysasaga, 41, of Arlington, Tex., and Roberto Macias, 34, of El Paso had their addresses changed to a federal penitentiary.
Judge O'Connor sentenced Ysasaga Wednesday to 240 months in a federal prison in the Wichita Falls federal courtroom in the Graham B. Purcell Building. The judge recently ordered Macias to spend a sabbatical for 180 months in a federal penitentiary. The federal building is named after former U.S. Congressman and 89th District Judge Graham Purcell who served the citizens of North Texas well for several decades.
Although his address was listed in Arlington, Ysasaga was arrested as he was leaving his home in Wichita Falls in August of 2012 by a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper while he was transporting methamphetamines. , according to a release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
DPS seized the massive amount of 530 grams of meth from the vehicle in which Ysasage was driving.
Macias pled guilty to his involvement in the illegal activity also. On numberous instances between Aug. 24, 2011 and Feb. 29, 2012, he also received hefty amounts of methampetamines from his connections in the DFW area and trekked to Wichita Falls where he made distributions to customers.
The size of the drug operation can be gauged by the fact 39 traffickers have thus far pleaded guilty in the case. The fact that people are still buying this physically destructive, teeth-rotting drug is astonishing.
The Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task Force investigated this large drug organization in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, DPS and the Wichita Falls Police Department. Manuel Borrego, chief of the police department, is supervisor of the police officers indvolved in the war on drug ring prosecuted in this case.
Only two of the defendants have yet to be sentenced.

2010 Research Week was great success, attracting thousands of researchers, students, staff and community members with a number of free public lectures, seminars and workshops held throughout the week.
Highlights included a public lecture on Neurodegenerative Diseases, held at the State Library of WA, where industry professionals and community members gathered to hear about research developments and disease management, while performance showcases held by the WAAPA LINK Dance Academy provided an insightful look at music research.
Master brewer Hugh Dunn hosted Science at the Pub at Degrees Brewery, allowing visitors the chance to see firsthand how beer is made, while the Faculty of Business and Law presented informative showcases on the current business environment.
Higher Degree by Research students battled it out throughout the week in the Three Minute Thesis Competition, which saw WAAPA PhD student Jeremy Rice announced as the winner of the ECU competition. Mr Rice will travel to Brisbane later this year to compete in the national competition.
There were also seminars on education, engineering presentations, health and wellness lectures and presentations on research and training.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Advancement), Professor John Finlay-Jones, congratulated all staff and students for their contributions and participation throughout the week.
"I would like to thank everyone for their involvement in 2010 Research Week, which helped make the series of events such a wonderful success."
"We look forward to building on this year's momentum again in 2011, with the aim to continue to develop ECU's research profile both locally, nationally and internationally," said Professor Finlay-Jones.
Research Week was coordinated by staff from ECU's Graduate Research School and Office of Research and Innovation, with contributions from all faculties.

Here is a little mystery....what delightful place is this? I've never seen a place where cheerful bumblebees cover the walls and daisies bloom in the window boxes.
Actually, this is a glimpse of the project I am working on for Ava Grace's auction. I'm really excited about this project. It's been very time consuming, but I think the results will be really special and will hopefully raise a lot of money for the little darling. There are tiny little EFA's who will live here too!
Well, I guess I better get back to work! I have a lot to finish! Hugs to all.

Hello, I found your blog through princess nimble-thimble's blog.
Your EFA dolls are so wonderful. I became so enamored with them, that I purchased EFA's book DTMFFAP. It arrived today and I'm so pleased with it. I can hardly wait to make one...as soon as I decide what size!!
Do you, personally, use muslin for the bodies?

Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 â November 19, 1828) was an Austrian composer. He wrote some 600 lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. He is particularly noted for his original melodic and harmonic writing.
While Schubert had a close circle of friends and associates who admired his work (including his teacher Antonio Salieri, and the prominent singer Johann Michael Vogl), wider appreciation of his music during his lifetime was limited at best. He was never able to secure adequate permanent employment, and for most of his career he relied on the support of friends and family. Interest in Schubert's work increased dramatically in the decades following his death and he is now widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition.
While he was clearly influenced by the Classical sonata forms of Beethoven and Mozart (his early works, among them notably the 5th Symphony, are particularly Mozartean), his formal structures and his developments tend to give the impression more of melodic development than of harmonic drama. This combination of Classical form and long-breathed Romantic melody sometimes lends them a discursive style: his 9th Symphony was described by Robert Schumann as running to "heavenly lengths". His harmonic innovations include movements in which the first section ends in the key of the subdominant rather than the dominant (as in the last movement of the Trout Quintet). Schubert's practice here was a forerunner of the common Romantic technique of relaxing, rather than raising, tension in the middle of a movement, with final resolution postponed to the very end.

When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi (1999)
by David Maraniss
No current Talk conversations about this book.
For the longest time I wanted to know and understand the legend of Vince Lombardi. Now I'm just kicking myself for waiting so long to do so. Fascinating and extraordinary are just a couple of the adjectives that I could be listing for an endless amount of time.

I loved this book and I'm not even a football fan. It gave a great, short history of the game while providing terrific insights about a man that became a legend in his time. Maraniss is a great biographer.
Even if you are not a football fan, this is biography at its best. The all-consuming drive of the man makes for a fascinating character study that never leaves you wanting.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0684870185, Paperback)As coach of the Green Bay Packers from 1959 to 1967, Vince Lombardi turned perennial losers into a juggernaut, winning back-to-back NFL titles in 1961 and 1962, and Superbowls I and II in 1966 and 1967. Stern, severe, sentimental, and paternal, he stood revered, reviled, respected, and mocked--a touchstone for the '60s all in one person. Which adds up to the myth we've been left with. But who was the man? That's the question Pulitzer Prize-winner David Maraniss tackles. It begins with Lombardi's looming father, a man as colorful as his son would be conservative. Still, from his father Vince Lombardi learned a sense of presence and authority that could impress itself with just a look. If a moment can sum up and embrace a man's life--and capture the breadth of Maraniss's thoroughness--it is one that takes place off the field when the Packers organization decides to redecorate their offices in advance of the new head coach's arrival: "During an earlier visit," Maraniss reports, "he had examined the quarters--peeling walls, creaky floor, old leather chairs with holes in them, discarded newspapers and magazines piled on chairs and in the corners--and pronounced the setting unworthy of a National Football League club. 'This is a disgrace!' he had remarked." In one moment, one comment, Lombardi announced his intentions, made his vision and professionalism clear, and began to shake up a stale organization. It reveals far more about the man than wins and losses, and is the kind of moment Maraniss uses again and again in this superb resurrection of a figure who so symbolized a sporting era and sensibility. --Jeff Silverman

Maraniss captures the myth and the man, football, God, and country in a thrilling biography that has become an American classic.
