Currently, my husband and I are down to 1 income after I was laid off 3 years ago. We live in Southern california…where cost of living is high. Our annual salary is approx $45K.
Due to my lack of work, and some bad spending choices over the years, we have accrued 50K in unsecured credit card debt.
We at this point, can only afford minimum payments, which add up to about $1100 a month, and over $400 of it is going to interest.
Until I land another job…we can't afford to chip away at our debt. Should we file bankruptcy?
The reason we are considering Bankruptcy is because we soon won't have enough funds to pay our mortgage or car. We need both of those items just to live.
Also, I want to know if we stop paying our credit card bills…do we have a chance of being sued? I don't want to continue to make payments if I don't need to …if we do decide to do the bankruptcy route.
Thanks in advance for all your advice.
Dear Rosi,
The reality is that bankruptcy does seem like a logical solution based on what you shared. But bankruptcy is not all bad news. If you are able to file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy your debt will be discharged in a few months and you can behind rebuilding your credit.
Bankruptcy is not a financial death sentence.
Let's start with the basics.
I'd suggest you first read How to Get Out of Debt. The Honest and Unvarnished Truth and The Truth About The Success Rates, Failure Rates and Completion Rates of Credit Counseling, Debt Settlement, and Bankruptcy. They will give you a great overview of what we need to deal with to get you moving in the right direction.
Then use the free How to Get Out of Debt Calculator to review your options.
You may also want to click here to find a local bankruptcy attorney and talk to them as well.
After that, come back here and comment about what seems to make the most sense and let's discuss that.
Big Hug!

I like my sponge raw
A post at Pinguicula regarding the utility of saving digital images as RAW files prompted me to do some tests. I take pictures of snail shells and other small objects very frequently under fluorescent lamps. Although, digital cameras, including my Olympus E-500, have preset white balance (WB) adjustments for various types of fluorescent lamps, I have never had satisfactory results using those. So, what's one to do?
Here are some test results. First, on the left is the test subject, good ol' Spongebob, photographed using E-500's built-in flash with WB set at Auto as recommended in the camera's manual. Spongebob was on a white card which was on a gray card visible along the right side. The resulting picture looks fine as far as the colors are concerned: white is white and gray is gray. However, I normally don't like to use flash when I am photographing shells because flash creates harsh shadows and I usually have difficulty getting the exposure right.
Below is Bob photographed under one my fluorescent desk lamps with WB set at Auto. The result is ugly: white is yellow, gray is yellowish-brown. Next to it is the same picture after I readjusted the color balance in Photoshop. There is some improvement, but it is still not satisfactory.
Next is a couple of pictures taken with the color temperature set at 4000 K and 3200 K. (This was done using the custom white balance function of Olympus.) You can see that as the color temperature goes down, the yellow cast is replaced with a greenish cast. (If the color temperature is increased, the redness of the picture increases.) So, setting the color temperature manually doesn't correct the colors either, although the picture taken at 3200K is preferable to that taken at Auto WB.
Finally, below is a picture taken with WB set at Auto, but saved as a RAW file. Using Olympus Master, the software that came with E-500, I readjusted the gray point by picking up the eyedropper tool and clicking on the part of the picture showing the "gray" card that was actually yellowish-brown as above. When the program finished its adjustment, the correct colors were miraculously restored to the picture.
The ability to correct the WB to such an extent is, therefore, one of the advantages of saving images as RAW files. Now I have to always remember to include a portion of a gray card in all pictures I take under fluorescent lights.

Best stay ever! This was our third stay here, this time with four rooms for four nights. Luciano and Laura, helped by their son Marco, make all possible effort that you can enjoy your stay to the fullest. Gorgeous views, nice pool, wifi (also at the pool!). Airconditioned, spacious and superclean rooms. Delicious breakfast. Luciano and Laura mostly decide in the morning whether or not they will prepare dinner (cena), which they do one evening out of three/four. When they do, make sure to seize the occasion. Local food at reasonable prices on a very romantic terrace. Shaded parking spaces. Excellent starting point for exploring the region between Chianti and Montepulciano!

Bellissimo 5 su 5 stelle Posto stupendo a 10 minuti di macchina da Siena. Struttura, panorama e paesaggio fantastici. Sembra proprio di stare in una famiglia, il personale é gentile e disponibile. Posto perfetto per rilassarsi ma anche per visitare le zone limitrofe. Torneremo sicuramente. Ha soggiornato in Agosto 2013

Absolutely recommended! 位置在Siena下方開車約10-20mins,雖然離Siena有段距離,但是四周風光非常美;房間 不算大但很溫馨,有很大的庭園、游泳池、與令人屏息的托斯卡那美景,主人還養了馬兒、狗狗、和一些可愛的小動物。因為入住時是六月中旬,夜晚時看到超多螢火蟲與滿天星斗星星,非常推薦的好地方! Località a Siena in auto sotto 10-20min, anche se una certa distanza da Siena, ma quattro settimane paesaggio è molto bello, camera non è grande ma molto caldo, hanno un grande giardino, piscina, con vista mozzafiato della Toscana, Maestro ha anche sollevato i cavalli, i cani, e alcuni piccoli simpatici animali. Poiché il controllo è a metà giugno, quando visto nel corso di molti lucciole di notte con le stelle stellate, altamente consigliato un buon posto!

Absolutely Wonderful Experience! We can't say enough great things about Il Canto del Sole. Laura and Luciano were perfect hosts - we felt like old friends by the time we left. They just couldn't have been nicer, friendlier or more accommodating. They also gave us great tips - thanks to them, we not only experienced a great festival in Siena on our first night, but also found an easy place to park (quite a feat on that night!). Luciano also told us about Monteriggioni, a wonderful place to visit on our way to Voltera. The B&B was just beautiful and meticulously clean, with comfortable, spacious and well-laid out rooms. Breakfasts were fantastic, and the dinner they made for us on our last night was easily a highlight of our trip! Laura's incredible cooking paired with Luciano's fabulous grilled zucchini and warm service made for a memory we will always cherish. We spent one day there taking a "vacation from our vacation" and enjoyed the salt water pool and the well behaved "zoo" of 2 dogs and 3 cats - Luciano even showed us his baby turkeys. I really appreciated Laura's gracious use of her washing machine! We used the B&B as a base for sightseeing and it was very convenient to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Voltera. The only issue was that we kept getting hopelessly lost - Luciano tried valiantly to help us figure out directions, but the roads aren't well marked, signs are small and hard to read, and if you mess up it's not easy getting back on/off the highways. Even the B&B's Italian guests told us they got lost! It's all just part of the adventure so if you rent a car, just plan to build in a little extra time to see parts of Italy you may not have planned on! We haven't tried our wine yet, Luciano - saving it for a really special occasion when we can savor our meal and the wonderful memories you and Laura helped create for Mike and I and our boys. Grazie!!

A Magical Stay Ditto to Jessica L.'s review (see below). Our stay overlapped theirs, so we participated in the same big dinner on our last night. Everything about our stay in Il Canto del Sole was magical. Never before have we been invited by the owner to sip wine and limoncillo while chatting under the stars. Luciano, Laura, and Marco are wonderful hosts and amazing people. My family and I agree that staying there was the highlight of our visit to Siena.

Kevin, Amanda, Sue, and the entire Le Peep® organization are a pleasure to work with.
Bill Eckrich is the President of Le Peep® Restaurants of Indiana.
Having opened my first Le Peep® Restaurant in early 1988, I have a significant amount of experience with the concept. Le Peep® first & foremost is synonymous with great flavor & quality. The concept first established over 25 years ago remains fresh and viable today.

College Hockey:St. Anselm Picked By Coaches To Repeat
MANCHESTER, N.H. — The St. Anselm men's hockey team is the favorite to win the Northeast-10 Conference Men's Ice Hockey Championship according to the preseason coaches' poll.
The Hawks received 35 points, including five first-place votes, edging second pick Southern New Hampshire. The Penmen took 28 points and the remaining first-place bid.
St. Michael's took third in the poll with 26 points, while Stonehill (18) was fourth, Assumption (12) was picked fifth, and Franklin Pierce (7) was picked sixth.
In the 2006 Northeast-10 Ice Hockey Championship, St. Anselm defeated Southern New Hampshire, 5-3, in the title game to repeat as the Northeast-10 Tournament Champion.
The six Division II teams from the ECAC East and ECAC Northeast compete for the Northeast-10 championship. The NCAA does not offer a championship in D-II hockey and the teams are excluded from their league playoffs because those conferences use the postseason to select their automatic qualifiers to the D-III tournament.

Sen. Wyden Plugs Free Trade as Chance 'to Create Good-Paying Jobs'
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden said he's working to set up a new bipartisan coalition that soon can move a free-trade agenda in the Senate by refocusing the debate to emphasize middle-class job creation.
"This is a prime opportunity for us to create more good-paying jobs," the Oregon Democrat said at The Wall Street Journal CFO Network conference in Washington, D.C. "My hope is that in the next few months we'll have a new bipartisan coalition for expanded trade."

The free-trade agenda has fallen on hard times in Congress in recent years, as concerns have risen – especially among Democrats – about the impact of globalization and liberalized trade on U.S. jobs. Mr. Wyden joked that Oregon activists sometimes ask him what's next after Nafta and Cafta — "Shafta"?
Mr. Wyden hopes to broaden the political appeal of free trade agreements by putting more emphasis on labor and environmental protections and enforcement of existing agreements. He also hopes to refocus the debate on the economic benefits of more open trade.
Mr. Wyden is calling his effort "smart-track," to distinguish it from the now-expired "fast-track" legislation that gave the White House broad power to negotiate free-trade agreements and limited lawmakers' ability to hold up the measures. He said he's hoping to attract "a significant bloc of Democrats in the Senate" to support his effort.
On other fronts, Mr. Wyden said he hopes to announce in coming days new ideas for short-term moves to shore up the ailing federal highway fund. Longer term, he's aiming to find new ways to attract private-sector investment to the nation's transportation system, he said.

In December 1982, Lopes lead tiny NAIA Chaminade in what is arguably considered the greatest college basketball upset in history. The Silverswords defeated #1 ranked Virginia with 3-time NCAA Player of the Year, 7' 4" Ralph Sampson, 77-72. His teams would also defeat perennial national ranked powers Louisville twice, and SMU in the early '80's and pick up the nickname "Giant Killers".
Excerpts from interview on This Week with Dave Kawada radio show, airing Wednesdays, 9:00a HST,on ESPN 1420 AM Honolulu, & www.espn1420am.com
DK: How's things on the Big Island (Hawaii)?
ML: It's raining. We always seem to get it after you guys (in Honolulu on Oahu).
DK: The men's and women's basketball teams for the University of Hawaii are going through a tough stretch right now. Did you ever go through a period like that when you were at Chaminade and wonder, "What is going on here?"
ML: Well those are life struggles (laughs). At first I would go to the library thinking that I could find the answers in a book or something. But over the years I've come to the conclusion, like the Hawaiians say, "bumbai, pau…" So everything is not going to last forever. They are doing a good job. They just need to go in there and not worry so much about the results and focus on what they are doing. The results will take of itself.
DK: I saw a video once where you had your players lying on their back on the gym floor, their eyes were closed and you were talking to them. Like a visualization exercise. Did you do that often?
ML: I did it for 10 years. I wanted them to focus on the moment and being in the moment and not worry about the past. You only worry about NOW. It took me 15 years to develop this idea and that was a big part of our success. Struggling comes from fear. You fear about this and you fear about that, rather than what you are doing right now. You can say, "Have a good day,". But a day has several moments in it. The critical thing is to have the players buy in to what the coach is doing. When that happens, good things will follow.
DK: How would you handle a situation in which players are losing their confidence? Such as a shooter who's not hitting the shots.
ML: My thought is that the player is looking at the result, that the ball needs to go in. But they are not paying attention to what they need to do, technique wise, to make that ball go into the basket. They get too far ahead of themselves and not stay in the moment.
Where are you? I'm standing on this line looking at the basket. I'm going to make it but how are you going to do it. That's what I tell them. Go back to what you are doing. Line up like this. Get your body balanced. Once you get all that then let it go and not worry about the result. Pay attention to the process.
DK: Which is easier to come out of – shooting poorly, or not defending well?
ML: There is a little philosophy here. To win you need to attack the basket and score. To not be defeated, you must defend. Defense is a good example because you have to be in the moment, are you where you are supposed to be. Lapses come when you think to far ahead. This is not easy because the mind can go everywhere. At the Big Man's Camp we would just focus in on our breathing. When you inhale, could you feel that? Now exhale and just concentrate on that. Last year Bill Amis (Hawaii senior) came a little late (to the camp). After the first day he came to me and said, "Hey coach, why don't we do those things we did last year?"
"You mean the breathing?"
"Yeah, I liked that. I thought it was good."
So we did it at every practice for about 20 minutes.
DK: Do you sometimes pinch yourself when you think about what happened back then and how even now it still carries such a strong memory?
ML: Because I am a firm believer in what is going on now, when people bring it up I just say, "Ah, just shut up." (Laughs) But really it was good for basketball, good for Chaminade, good for everybody. But it was the players that did it. I was just a part of it. I had players with no fear, and fear takes all the struggles away.

In lieu of flowers, donations are encouraged to Hospice of Knox County, www.hospiceofknox.org
Molnar attributed everything he accomplished in life to his wife, Jean and to a horsemans quote that guided his philosophy, "If you want to accomplish something, you will find a way. If you dont want to accomplish something, you will find an excuse." He taught us well!

So here's the deal. I am not religious, I have an open mind for any who wish to share their views. I think that Christianity is a fair, loving and peaceful religion. However, this website features articles, by Tyson Bowers III in particular, which are cruel, extremely offensive, and riddled with lies. I myself am a gamer, and very knowledgeable of that world. I am also very good friends with, and related to, homosexual people. I am ALSO not easily offended. However, this man has written 'articles' which sickeningly attack people and their ways of life. For example, in an article posted which covers the soon to be released video game; Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Mr Bowers expresses that the plot makes you the player go around killing political and religious figures. This is true, however the point is to eradicate an evil syndicate of people who strive to do people and the world much harm. Mr Bowers also claims, making reference to a screenshot of the game, that the key character is homosexual, and engages in homosexual activities, such as romantically holding and kissing a man, where infact that was the man who he had just killed because he was a ruthless slaughterer of innocents. In another article, Mr Bowers singles out one individual, Miss Justine (I will not disclose last name), AKA: iJustine, and brutally attacks her. He claims that she is "obsessed with the homogay company Apple". First of all, homogay isn't even a word. Secondly, iJustine is not 'obsessed' at all, but instead is a fan of Apple. And thirdly, what is wrong with liking something?
iJustine, Apple, the French video game developer Ubisoft (NOT the Japanese company Capcom), and many others have fallen victim to this cruel abuse. The victims do not diserve to be attacked in this way, I don't want them to be, and God DEFINITELY doesn't want them to be, which makes these articles sinful, spiteful, cruel and entirely unnecessary, and I ask that for these reasons you ignore and do not believe these words.

DeKALB - The Northern Illinois women's basketball team (6-6, 0-0 MAC) hosts downstate rival Illinois State (9-3, 2-0 MVC) to tip-off the new year, Monday, Jan. 3 at the Convocation Center. The contest renews a rivalry that dates back to 1957-58.
The Northern Illinois women's basketball team (6-6, 0-0 MAC) hosts downstate rival Illinois State (9-3, 2-0 MVC) to tip-off the new year, Monday, Jan. 3 at the Convocation Center. The contest renews a rivalry that dates back to 1957-58.
The Huskies returned home for the first time in over a month to find friendly rims in a 70-59 win over Loyola. NIU knocked down 4-of-5 three-pointers to start, including three by Marke Freeman, against the Ramblers, jumping out to a 13-1 lead. NIU finished the night with a season-high nine made triples.
NIU is 2-1 against he Missouri Valley this season, with all three contests coming on the road. The Huskies defeated Northern Iowa, 71-64, and beat Southern Illinois 46-45 on a 40-foot buzzer-beating three-pointer by Courtney Shelton. NIU's only loss to the MVC was a 57-48 setback at Bradley
In addition to being 26 points short of joining the NIU 1,000-Point Club, Marke Freeman is one assist short of becoming only the 16th Huskie to dish out 250 assists in a career.
Marke Freeman leads the MAC in three-point field goal percentage at 47.1 percent.
NIU's nine three-pointers against Loyola were the most in a game this season.
The Huskies are 5-0 when leading at halftime, but 1-6 when trailing at the break.
NIU is 16-22 in the first game of a calendar year. They won 2010's opener over Chicago State 66-61.
Marke Freeman is just 26 points shy of becoming the 26th member of Northern Illinois' 1,000-Point Club. The redshirt senior is in only her third season on the court with the Huskies after transferring from Florida A&M. If Freeman gets to 1,000, she will become the first player to reach the scoring milestone in just three seasons since Stephanie Raymond scored her 1,000th point in 2005-06. Raymond was the 20th pick in the WNBA draft one year later.
Senior Ebony Ellis became only the 12th Huskie to grab over 700 career rebounds in NIU's game against Loyola. Ellis had five boards in that game, including her 700th board late in the second half. Ellis also ranks fifth on NIU's charts for career offensive rebounds with 309, and is 209 points shy of 1,000.
The Series
Illinois State holds a 24-7 advantage in the series after winning 16 of the first 19 meetings. The series has been more even of late, with Northern Illinois winning three of the last seven contests.
Three's Company
NIU stands as the most accurate three-point shooting team in the MAC, and the sixth-best three-point shooting team in the nation. The Huskies have hit 40.2 percent of their attempts from distance, including knocking in 4-of-5 (80.0 percent) and 5-of-7 (71.4 percent) against UNI and SIU, respectively. Individually, Marke Freeman leads NIU, hitting 47.1 percent (24-51) of her threes. That ranks second in the MAC, and 18th in the country.
Defense Locking On
The Huskies are beginning to get the hang of Kathi Bennett's signature "pack" defense. NIU has held opponents to 40 percent shooting six times this year. The Huskies are 4-2 in those games.
`Big' Win
Tuesday's win over Loyola was a big win because it snapped a three-game slide for the Huskies. But the 70-59 victory was also the biggest win by margin: 11 points. NIU's five other wins have all come by single digits.

Whether it's finding a lucky penny, knocking on wood or sticking a rusty nail through a lime to avoid the evil eye, superstitions are a part of our society whether we realize it or not and are a uniting force across cultures.
Yet artist Jason Metcalf claims, "The interesting thing about superstition, I have found, is that a belief can vary from person to person even if two individuals are close in cultural, religious and geographical proximity."
Metcalf's collection called ABRACADABRA is The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art's new exhibition in the Locals Only Gallery. His exhibit is the result of extensive research into obsessions, legends and lore from various cultures as far away as Haiti and as near as Sanpete Valley. The artwork on display are verbal descriptions that have been passed down from generations and collected by Metcalf to be transformed into physical manifestations.
While Metcalf's work reflects those existing verbal beliefs and will reinforce legends for the visitors who look at it, he still feels his work is a forgery, not created from original purposes or ideas, but merely acting as visual replacements. This unique collection of visual superstition brings up interesting questions about the result of documenting superstition that no other project before it has quite articulated. As senior curator Aaron Moulton puts it, "Metcalf gives us objects that stand between the mind's eye and lore, which playfully prod the tales of old wives or the Doubting Thomas."
The opening reception for ABRACADABRA will be held during UMOCA's First Friday on Sept. 7 from 8-10 p.m. and will feature music from DJ Fland & Flare as well as food and a cash bar.
The event is free and open to the public, so make sure you stop by, but don't forget your lucky rabbit's foot!

Daniel Boulud Plans New One for Lincoln Center
It'll be a Mediterranean grilling concept.
Steve Cuozzo reveals that Daniel Boulud will open his sixth restaurant, described as a "grilling concept with a little bit of a healthy accent, a partly open kitchen and Mediterranean and other influences," at 64th and Broadway (right next to Bar Boulud) this winter: "Among other things, the 4,000-square-foot eatery will boast a 'nice, big bamag.cr meant for drinking'— unlike Bar Boulud, which for all its wine-and-charcuterie pleasures, has no bar." The dining room will seat 110, a lounge will add 24 seats, and there'll be a 16-seat bar.

Issues relating to preservation and restoration are on my mind because I've just written an article for the July Rail about Imi Knoebel's 1977 installation "24 Colors--For Blinky," which has recently been restored and installed at Dia:Beacon. Check out NPR's Science Friday to hear a story about painting preservation. "Light, temperature and air pollution can wreck works of art. How do museums protect and preserve artistic and historic artifacts for the ages? It's a complicated field, including everything from studying the chemical makeup of paints to optimizing the temperature, humidity and lighting conditions in museum galleries. Timothy P. Whalen, director of the Getty Conservation Institute, and James Druzik, senior scientist at the Getty Conservation Institute, talk about the fine art of art preservation." Listen here.

STANFORD, Calif. -Were it not for his older sister Karissa, outside hitter Brian Cook might never have discovered volleyball or followed her to Stanford.
"The reason I got into volleyball was because she and I played in the house and at the beach," said the Cardinal senior, who grew up in Santa Cruz, Calif. "She taught me the fundamentals. She's an amazing player."
Karissa was a setter and helped Stanford capture three Pac-12 titles, earning conference all-academic honors three times. After finishing her degree, she moved to Hawai'i and is now playing sand volleyball for the Sandbows.
A straight-A student at Harbor High School, Karissa inspired Brian to buckle down in academics at Soquel High and to his surprise, he drew interest from The Farm.
"It wasn't really an option until she started getting recruited," he said. "In my sophomore year of high school, I turned my grades around and made that my goal."
The 6-foot-5 Cook also attended a volleyball camp at Stanford and played for San Jose-based Bay to Bay Volleyball Club in 2010, which became the first undefeated team in NorCal Association play. His coach was Ken Shibuya, current associate head coach to John Kosty at Stanford.
"He was very, very raw and basically didn't know what he was doing indoors," said Shibuya. "It was pretty amazing how fast he grew into a player because nobody was recruiting him until the end."
Shibuya knew he had talent and liked his versatility and positive personality.
"He always has a smile on his face," he said.
Shibuya also considered making him a setter.
"I could have really messed up his career," he laughed.
Once Cook got accepted to Stanford, he flourished. He started 22 matches as a true freshman in 2011 and his 179 kills were third most on the team. In 2012, he was second in kills with 367 and third in points with 414, and was named to the All-MPSF second team. Cook led the Cardinal to an upset win against top-ranked BYU with 20 kills, a .390 hitting percentage, seven digs and three blocks.
Last year, he firmly established himself as one of the best players in the country and was selected a first-team All-American by the AVCA and Volleyball Magazine. Cook ranked fourth in the NCAA and MPSF in kills per set at 4.01, and fifth in the MPSF and sixth in the NCAA in points per set at 4.57. His 417 kills were the ninth-most at Stanford in the rally-scoring era. Twice, he collected 24 kills in five-set victories against Pacific and Pepperdine.
"He was a diamond in the rough," said Kosty. "We got lucky with him. That doesn't happen much in the Bay Area, where there aren't many volleyball hubs. He's a game-changer."
Cook does it all on the court. He leads the team in most statistical categories and has collected 375 kills this season.
"He's a great passer, defender, blocker and offensive threat from anywhere," Kosty said. "He can pass with anybody in the country. He's just an all-around great player."
Cook has heredity on his side. His father, David, played basketball at the University of San Diego and professionally in Australia, while his mother, Suzy, played collegiate volleyball for the United States International University. His uncle, John, is the head coach for the women's volleyball team at Nebraska.
Kosty credits Cook for sparking Stanford's current 11-game winning streak. This after a rough early start that saw the Cardinal drop four of five matches to seemingly doom its postseason chances. Since a March 1 win against Cal State Northridge, Stanford has been on a roll, losing only seven sets.
"A lot of our turnaround has to do with him and his personality," said Kosty. "He was tired of losing. In the fifth game against Hawai'i, he took over and won it for us. When it gets tight, he wants the ball and is not going to let us lose."
Cook admitted things looked bleak earlier in the season. It was not the way he wanted to end his Stanford career.
"We found ourselves in a bad situation," he said. "After that bad start, it was now or never. At that point, we were just looking to make the playoffs."
Cook cited a more balanced attack, lineup adjustments, and the play of senior Eric Mochalski for getting the Cardinal back on track.
"We've been killing teams and winning close games," said Cook. "When we're on our game, I don't know if we can be stopped."
Cook said being around so many great student-athletes at Stanford has inspired him in the classroom and on the court. He attends many on-campus sporting events.
"Everyone is pushing each other and coming up with ideas," Cook said. "Everyone is proud to be part of the athletic program. We've got so many athletes that are at the highest level of their sport, people like Maggie Steffens (women's water polo) and Kristen Ipsen (men's diving). Just being in the athletic community, it's amazing how humble they are."
Stanford will look to extend its winning streak on Saturday in an MPSF quarterfinal match against sixth-ranked UC Irvine at 7 p.m. in Maples Pavilion. It will likely be the final home match for Cook and his four senior teammates.
"One of our great players of all-time," said Kosty.

Comments about NYDJ Sarah Classic Bootcut - Plus:
I never spend much on jeans because they're never worth it. I saw these and almost choked at the price, but thought that if they live up to their promises, it'll be worth it.I've been searching for black bootcut jeans to wear to work. I hate slacks and they always fit funny, but I can get away with black jeans. I ordered a 16W and held my breath until they arrived.I fell in love as soon as I tried these on! The rise is nice and high, making you feel "sucked in", but still able to breathe and be comfy. They make my booty look great and they hold their shape all day! I am up and down from my desk all day and after two days of wear, they have not stretched out in the knees from sitting and I'm not yanking them up every time I stand. I love the bootcut and they look great for work. I'm 5'6" and I feel that they're a little long, though I was glad to see they shrunk a bit after being washed (I put them in the dryer, even though it said to hang dry.). I usually wear flats, so these will pass. Even if I have to get them hemmed, its worth it. I will definitey be buying more! I highly recommend these. They are well worth the price and live up to their promises!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

On Tuesdays and Thursdays the homeless, needy and who ever else may be hungry can count on being able to get something to eat in Zephyrhills.
Brad Gibbs, who says he is 'just a helper' said "Everybody is welcome to eat, kids who are out there on bikes and skateboards come on in and eat." Gibbs is a friendly man who makes the rounds among the crowd and does his best to talk to everyone who comes in under the pavilion at Zephyr Park, located just steps behind the Waterpark area.
One of the members of the crowd was asked to say the blessing, as he had done previously, said Gibbs, as he invited the man to pray over the meal once again. Today there was a feast of sliced turkey, with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, sweet potato casserole, cauliflower and carrots, cucumber, onion, and tomato salad and a small side of parsnips for those who liked them. Brownies with frosting was for desert and there was plenty of iced tea and lemonade to drink.
A lot of the hungry people were there quite early waiting for the vehicles carrying the volunteers and the food to arrive. It was quite like any family environment with couples, singles,children, young adults and the elderly in attendance. And just like many family gatherings, there were arguments and hugs alike, making it feel just like holiday time at home.
Some of the people came from the nearby woods where they live, they are in and out of jobs and shelters, on and off of drugs, but the object is to feed the people who need to eat to provide them with a proper meal, to treat them with dignity and respect, as a part of a family here in Zephyrhills. That feeling is priceless to many of those who come here to eat.
Mr. Gibbs stated that this event was started over 20 years ago by a woman named Pat Sawyer and her daughter continued the ministry after her mother passed away. This is a wonderful thing for those in Zephyrhills who are hungry, who need the help, and for those who like the company of good people.

Extended mass layoffs, third quarter 2005
November 18, 2005
In the third quarter of 2005, employers took 742 mass layoff actions that resulted in the separation of 136,280 workers from their jobs for at least 31 days.
Both the total number of layoff events and the number of separations were sharply lower than during the July-September 2004 time period and were at their lowest levels for any third quarter since data collection began in 1995.
Data now available reflect early results of contact with employers who had potential layoffs in September that could have been directly or indirectly related to Hurricane Katrina. In Louisiana, there were 684 such actions reported in September; in Mississippi, there were 96.
In the limited amount of time available to contact those employers, 27 employers in Louisiana confirmed that they had layoffs due to Hurricane Katrina that lasted more than 30 days and resulted in 5,893 workers losing their jobs. The reported number of extended mass layoff events attributed to the hurricanes in the Gulf states is likely to rise as more employers are contacted.
These data are from the Mass Layoff Statistics program. "Extended mass layoffs" last more than 30 days and involve 50 or more individuals from a single establishment filing initial claims for unemployment insurance during a consecutive 5-week period. Data for the third quarter of 2005 are preliminary and subject to revision. Additional information is available in "Extended Mass Layoffs in the Third Quarter of 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-2194.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Extended mass layoffs, third quarter 2005 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2005/nov/wk2/art05.htm (visited June 25, 2016).

Cori Murray Selected To Play In IWLCA North/South All-Star Game
May 23, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - After enjoying a career-best year in 2013, UMass women's lacrosse senior attack Cori Murray has been selected to the annual IWLCA North/South All-Star Game as announced this week. The game will take place on Sunday, May 26 at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa. Murray finished the year as UMass' third leading scorer with 71 points (40 goals, 31 assists).
The Atlantic 10 is represented by Murray and Jess Hicks of George Washington on the North Team, while Sam Stevenson (Richmond), Stephany Parcell (Temple), Melanie Sarcinello (La Salle), Charlotte Swavola (Temple) and Tara Coyle (Richmond) will play for the South squad.
The native of Oceanport, N.J., was an integral part of one of the nation's top offensive units. Her 71 points marked a career high for a season as were her 40 goals and 31 assists. She finished her UMass career with 133 points on 85 goals and 48 assists in 74 contests.
Murray scored a goal in all 20-of-21 games this year with 12 multi-goal games. In the Atlantic 10 Tournament, she notched two goals and three assists in the semifinal vs. George Washington before adding four goals and two assists in the championship game vs. Duquesne.
In the NCAA Tournament, Murray helped UMass to its first NCAA Tournament win since 1984 with a goal and two assists against UConn. Despite her three goals in the NCAA Tournament Second Round, the Minutewomen's season ended witha 12-9 loss to seventh-seed Penn State.
In her career, Murray was twice named to the Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team earning Tournament MVP honors in 2012.
During her time at UMass, she led the Minutewomen to a 64-18 overall record and a 26-2 mark in the Atlantic 10. Murray and the 2013 Senior Class of Sarah Mullen, Kelsey Palmer and Lauren Terracciano guided the program to four consecutive Atlantic 10 Titles (part of a league-record five straight) and three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.

Yesterday, April 6, 2014, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush was in College Station, Texas speaking about various issues affecting Republican candidates and how they are at odds with today's America. Most notably his stance on immigration which sounds as if he lifted his remarks directly from the Libertarian Party's immigration page.
The Libertarian Party's immigration page cites an article written by Daniel Griswold where it says, "Crossing an international border to support your family and pursue dreams of a better life is not an inherently criminal act like rape or robbery. If it were, then most of us descend from criminals. As the people of Texas know well, the large majority of illegal immigrants are not bad people. They are people who value family, faith and hard work trying to live within a bad system."
Jeb Bush said yesterday in his remarks on immigration, "Yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. It's an act of love, it's an act of commitment to your family."
As we wrote last week in how Americans are coming around to a libertarian point of view, apparently Bush and his Republican operatives have been perusing libertarian websites to garner talking points.
Some libertarians continue to like Jeb Bush, though feel his brother George should likely be in jail for war crimes. One of Jeb's first acts as Governor of Florida was to eliminate the motorcycle helmet law, which many libertarians saw as an act of freedom.
That is not to say libertarians are in agreement with him on all the issues. Common Core is one issue he will not get a free pass from them or hard core Republicans. The Libertarian Party of Florida (LPF) has officially come out against Common Core and with a constituent base which is rising dramatically, libertarians are expected to become a serious force in the 2016 presidential election. Voter registration of Florida Libertarian Party voters increased 26% over the last two years, largely above the national average. The LPF candidate for governor, Adrian Wyllie, has also come out against Common Core.
Yesterday's event was somewhat of a testing the waters for Bush to see how Republicans and America as a whole views him and his stance on the issues. Bush is contemplating whether to run for President of the United States in 2016 against the Libertarian Party and Democratic candidates for the office.

Try this southern take on a classic
Published: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 3:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 23, 2013 at 3:12 p.m.
It's fun to experiment in the kitchen, just so you don't do too much rushing around and sticking to the rules, as Maya Angelou warns. Here's one to try that I fixed for a couple of my hungry boys the other night. They loved my eggs O'Hara, a Southern salute to the famous eggs Benedict. The tomato dish is based on my one of grandmother's favorite summer dishes, floating salad.
Eggs O'Hara
2 thick slices corn bread
cheese sauce
4 eggs
2 slices country ham, cut into 4 pieces
Make or buy your corn bread and cheese sauce ahead of time. (Recipes below, if you want to make your own, which will be much better.) Slice corn bread into four slices and butter. Boil water to poach eggs. Cook ham in a little butter. (I blanch mine quickly in water to get a little salt out.) Heat cheese sauce. Toast corn bread; poach eggs (You want the yellow runny.) Assemble with corn bread, first, then ham, egg, and cheese sauce. Sprinkle with paprika. Serves 2.
Corn Bread
1 cup self-rising white corn meal
1 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
Oil an 8-9-inch cast iron skillet. Set oven at 400-degrees and place skillet inside. Mix ingredients to moisten. Pour into hot skillet. Bake 25 minutes or until done.
Cheese Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup sweet milk
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
Seasonings to taste: salt and pepper; optional: pinch or two powdered mustard, dash Tabasco and/or Worcestershire
Melt butter, add flour, cook 2-3 minutes stirring. Add milk and heat through, stirring, until thick. Add cheese and seasonings, cook until melted.
Floating Salad Mama Sink
1 tomato, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, thinly sliced (peeled)
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
1⁄2 red onion, sliced into rings
Six leaves fresh basil, snipped
1⁄2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1⁄2 cup each cider vinegar and water
1 teaspoon each salt and pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
Place vegetables in bowl. Sprinkle with basil and cheese. Shake vinegar, water and seasonings in a jar and shake to dissolve. Pour over vegetables. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Waste Not Want Knots
In this mission, Niko walks in on Packie joking with his sister and his two associates, whereupon Packie tells Niko that he got a tip about a lot of money being stored in a warehouse close to the docks, and that they are going to attempt to rob the warehouse. Niko joins them and drives them down to the warehouse. During the drive, Packie reveals to Niko the full plan: they are going to run in the front of the warehouse, wipe out anyone in their way, take the money, then run out back where a boat will be waiting for them near the docks. The plan gets carried out well up to the point where Niko steals the money, when Italian mobsters, who were also planning on stealing the money, come into the warehouse and start firing at Packie and his group. Packie, Niko and the rest make it out the back of the warehouse, where they swim for the boat and make a clean getaway.
Hints and Tips
-If Packie or any of his associates die, the mission is a failure.
-Packie tends to rush into battle too quickly and therefore gets killed fairly quickly. You should keep an eye on him and try to take out your enemies quickly to prevent this from happening.
-After Niko steals the money and the Italian mobsters come in, it is better to run away from them and out the back rather than trying to fight them all, as there is almost no cover and there is a lot of them
-As long as Packie is in the boat with you when you escape, the mission will be a success; the other two associates do not need to be in the boat. The mission will still fail if you are inside the warehouse and they die, but once you run outside the warehouse to the boat, it does not matter if they live or die.

By Lauren Brown, Between the Columns
Published November 10, 2009
A few minutes before 9:15 a.m. on Mondays, Nelise Jeffrey makes a cup of tea, changes out of her pajamas, steps around the mess in her little brother's bedroom and starts a conversation with eight other students around the world.
Using video conferencing technology and the resources of the international nonprofit Soliya, the junior majoring in communication talks with peers about issues that often divide the West from the Muslim world. One week it was words that incite emotion, like "gay," "crusade" "American-" anything and the n-word. Another week it might be Americans' role in the war in Iraq or what is Ramadan like in the Arab world.
"I like the opportunity to meet funny, intellectual students who are down to earth and engage in lively conversations," Jeffrey says.
She's one of nine Maryland students participating in Soliya's Connect Program this fall, the second time it's been offered through communication Assistant Professor Sahar Khamis' Arab media class.
Soliya—its name comes from sol, the Latin word for sun, with iyaa', Arabic for "beam of light"—was founded in 2003. It aims to bridge cultural divides by helping young people increase their communication skills and international knowledge and connections. Its Connect Program currently links 300 students from about 30 universities, including Jordan University, the American University of Cairo and Georgetown University, for live weekly Web chats. Soliya trains facilitators, who are recruited from student participants, to moderate the discussions, says outreach manager Reem Marto.
This year, Soliya merged with the United Nations-established Alliance of Civilizations Media Fund, and Marto says, "We're excited about our mission being made possible to grow bigger and grow to scale in the future."
Khamis, who co-wrote the June 2009 book "Islam Dot Com: Contemporary Islamic Discourses in Cyberspace," coordinated Soliya's Connect Program at Qatar University for three years while head of the mass communication and information science department.
The students there wanted so badly to participate, she says, even amid frequent technical difficulties. "If the microphone was not working, they would type. If they could not type, they would text."
Making "Out There" Real
At Maryland, Khamis' seminar class focuses on the influence of new media in the Arab world, particularly on young people, as well as its obstacles and misconceptions. Soliya, she thought, would be a perfect fit. She accepted applications from a portion of her 35-member class. The organization strives to balance the number of students coming from different cultures. Because the time differences require most chats to start in the morning in Eastern Standard Time, she allows participants to log on from home.
"We learned a lot about each others' cultures and that we needed to have more empathy," she says of last year's group of 12. "People are not governments. We need to be sensitive to that."
Leysan Khakimova, a doctoral student in public relations focusing on public diplomacy in the context of the Arab world, was part of that group and helped oversee the undergraduate participants.
"For me, the most interesting part was that the Arab world always seems to be far away," she says. "But when you get online and you see those faces and they talk to you, it suddenly becomes your life and a personal experience. The Arab world becomes real, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict isn't just 'out there.'"
This semester, participants are assigned reading to prepare for each week's discussion, and all have to produce 10-minute videos on any area of interest discussed in the Web video chats. Khamis also requires the students to integrate their work into group in-class presentations, to ensure that the non-participants get a taste of the program.
Rebecca Niazi, a junior majoring in communication, says she got involved because her father is from Pakistan and she wanted to learn more about the culture there. Since the chats started in mid-October, she's been most surprised to learn how the government in the Arab world controls so much of the media, including TV and access to the Internet.
Jeffrey says she's liked how the facilitators push participants to think critically: Why do particular words evoke emotional responses? How do our personal experiences shape those responses? Why do students from the Mideast think differently?
The discussions stay civil, she says, partly because it's difficult to argue with someone face to face. "Video adds familiarity and closeness," she says.
Khamis says long-lasting overseas friendships often start in Soliya, and Khakimova's experience bears that out. While studying in Jordan over the summer, she met up with a friend she'd met through Soliya.
"It's not just a classroom experience," Khakimova says. "It allows you to meet real people and make real friendships. It's a great way to promote unity among people."

A delightful coffee table composition of exciting and quirky land art sculptures by artist Julia Brooklyn.
The sculptures are quirky and fun, something that little bit different that you will want to browse through again and again. Taking you on a journey of land art inspiration and a longing to get out there and try it for yourself.
Richard Shilling is a sculptor, photographer and film maker working in the field of Land Art. Land Art involves making sculptures using only natural materials gathered near to where the sculpture is made. Many of them are ephemeral and will last only a few short minutes before the wind or the tide takes it away. Soon after nothing remains and Richard attempts to capture the most vital and vibrant moment of each sculpture in a photograph. He makes his sculptures in beautiful and wild natural places across the North of England. Particularly in Lancashire, Cumbria and Yorkshire but he has also created sculptures in Scotland and the Himalaya. He uses snow, leaves, wood and stone and anything else that mother nature can provide. You can see more of his work on his website: http://www.richardshilling.co.uk and read all about what he gets up to on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/escher1 and on his blog: http://jrlandart.blogspot.com

Double Your Smartphone Battery Life
One of the problems for the great mobile revolution and ubiquitous computing has been battery life. A smartphone struggles to make it through just one day and the introduction of even more powerful processors may make life worse.
So a clever invention by a graduate student that could double the batter life of a smartphone sounds like a winner. Scientific American reports on the invention by a Duke University researcher, Justin Manweiler, a computer science graduate student at Duke's Pratt School of Engineering.
Mobile devices today waste a lot of energy searching for a WiFi signal and then staying connected while overtaxed wireless networks ferry data to and from them. SleepWell allows a mobile device to slip into power-saving mode while it is waiting its turn to connect. This is no small matter, particularly when scores of caffeine-craving technophiles gather at the local Starbucks to take advantage of the free wireless access. Manweiler likens the competition for WiFi to big-city traffic. When workers leave their offices en masse at the end of the day, they clog up the roads and rail lines. If these workers staggered the times they left, the transit systems would be less crowded, and it would take less time to get home. Similarly, if mobile devices took their turn accessing WiFi access points, data would move faster and these devices would use less energy.
SleepWell is installed on the devices that create a WiFi network infrastructure, including WiFi routers and access points. As such, it is designed so that any mobile device—whether it uses Apple OS X, Google Android, Windows or some other platform—can take advantage of it.
The sleep periods differ from sleep mode on most laptops that kick in after a few minutes. SleepWell enables is more like power-napping, short sleep periods many times a second.
In trials, reports the magazine, battery life was in some cases doubled.

Urban Annex Screening Room
Join the Philosophy Club for a FREE screening of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure!
Come and recline in the comfy Urban Annex Screening Room on July 6th from 6:30pm - 9:30pm.
What, precisely, is our relationship with history and the past? Why is it that history is often thought of as centering around a number of people so small so as to be stuffed into one phone booth? Do we see such people as more an idea with a face, rather than as actual people? Why are we so interested in how figures from history might interact with the present or other periods of history? Combine all of this with George Carlin and we have the makings of a most excellent movie night. Also, how can we not show a movie that introduced "So-Crates" to the world?
All are welcome! Bring a friend!

My first attempt at 360° panorama with Eliza, in the rombergpark, in Dortmund, Germany, shot May 2012.
Image Created by Brian Dwyer www.briandwyerphoto.com
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.

California Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro offers a performance analysis of Governor Jerry Brown's first year on his website, Political Vanguard, which he has maintained throughout his rising political career since 2002.
In his article titled "Brown's 1st Year — A Year of No Reform and Lost Credibility", Chairman Del Beccaro opens"
"The first year of a new executive's term, often with political winds and a honeymoon at his back, is the time when he has the greatest opportunity to make significant changes. Brown wasted that opportunity by not pushing for any meaningful reforms. Instead, he sent voters the bill for bailing out Sacramento in the form of tax increases.
In doing so, Brown threatened Californians with a fiscal nightmare of heavy-handed cuts to education and services unless we adopted his poorly conceived – and economically bad - tax increase. Californians didn't fall for his tax increase and the fiscal nightmare never came to pass - as most fair-minded analysts understood it wouldn't. Brown's unfounded threats cost him his credibility. His bad policies left him without any significant first year achievements."
The rest of the analysis can be found here.
As the rest of the country begins to reassess the failed policies of the President, as evidenced by recurring poll numbers showing him losing to both specific Republican candidates, including former Speaker Newt Gingrich & former Massachussetts Governor Mitt Romney, and the "generic Republican nominee", the similar headwind from the 2008 election that ushered in the Democratic sweep in 2010 here in California may shift against state Democrats in 2014 if they suffer a significant defeat in 2012 unless Governor Brown can meet his campaign commitments to pass significant reforms demanded by independents who supported his election and those of his party.

at $20 for 10 I will never use you, *to begin with*
Really? Wood Pencils average $1.29 for a package of 12 - who in their right mind would spend $20 for 10??? (Someone with money to blow frivolously apparently.)

The name Banana Café comes from one of our special drinks Banana Coffee, which is made from fresh blended banana put into hot coffee, so the banana works like a creamer with natural sugar. The owner decided to give her shop a new name which can represent the whole menu better. Besides the traditional Vietnamese Sandwich (Banh mi), Banana Café also serves freshly made-to-order salad rolls, Vietnamese sticky rice plate, steamed buns and a variety of drinks including bubble teas and fruit smoothies.
At Banana Café, everything is made to order to guarantee the best taste. Wouldn't it be amazing to watch the owner squeeze fresh ginger and real honey into a brewed green tea cup to make the signature honey ginger tea?
The owner decorates Banana Café according to her spiritual belief. The green atmosphere with a banana tree represents her zodiac element "Tree". A little aquarium with running water and beautiful goldfish is believed to bring luck and customers to Banana café. Since the owner is a Buddhist, there is a sacred place for the Buddha and the God of Land to bless for her business.
Come to Banana Café, you will experience a new fresh view of an Asian Café. Let us satisfy you with our most traditional Vietnamese food and delicious cold treats.

Food marketing is often singled out as the leading cause of the obesity epidemic. The present review examines current food marketing practices to determine how exactly they may be influencing food intake, and how food marketers could meet their business objectives while helping people eat healthier. Particular attention is paid to the insights provided by recently published studies in the areas of marketing and consumer research, and those insights are integrated with findings from studies in nutrition and related disciplines. The review begins with an examination of the multiple ways in which 1) food pricing strategies and 2) marketing communication (including branding and food claims) bias food consumption. It then describes the effects of newer and less conspicuous marketing actions, focusing on 3) packaging (including the effects of package design and package-based claims) and 4) the eating environment (including the availability, salience, and convenience of food). Throughout, this review underscores the promising opportunities that food manufacturers and retailers have to make profitable "win-win" adjustments to help consumers eat better.
