text: 1850 - 1918 Reform of the post office in England were introduced in the 1840th. in postal stamps as a means of paying for postal services. On invitation of Austrian Ministry of Commerce, Croatia has determined that the brand (pillar markers), put into operation on 1st June 1850th. Then in Kingdom (on Croatian territory, Slavonia, Dalmatia and Istria) were introduced the Austrian stamps. After Austria-Hungary signed a settlement (1867.) and after the Croatian-Hungarian Compromise (1868), from 1871. from the places in Croatia and Slavonia the stamps were broadcast to shipment with Hungarian stamps. After Croatian-Hungary settlement was put into force, Croatia became an independent state,and it wasn't able to print their own stamps until 1918. Above mentioned is the period of Croatian philately. Croatian pre-philatelic material means that all mailed items (those franked Austrian and Hungarian stamps) were sent out some mail on the Croatian territory. In the late 19th century, in Croatia occurs that some individuals were interested in collecting stamps, and they soon established the Philatelic Society ( in 1896. ). The Croatian Philatelic Society organized in 1907. the First National Philatelic Exhibition, and in 1919 it began publishing the first Croatian philatelic philatelic magazine.1918.On the 29th October 1918. Croatian Parliament in Zagreb declared the secession of the Triune Kingdom of Austria-Hungary and declared special State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. Much of the government jobs were performed in a decentralized manner. Mail- management as a public service was also decentralized. Then they were opened to traffic the first Croatian brands by Croatian government issued orders based on postal office in Zagreb, and that the provisionals (auxiliary, temporary release) made #8203;#8203;reprinting two Hungarian stamps with overprint "SHS / Croatia." The first Croatian brand as definitive edition came out on the 29th November 1918. Second edition, a series of regular stamps, in circulation since the second half of January 1919. , had the text "State posted Croatia." In this period, a significant item of Philatelic Museum is a collection of HPT Album was given to Caesar Akacic, the first Croatian Commissioner for mail and telegram to the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs.1941From 1941. to 1945. independent State of Croatia issued its own postage stamps. Two days after the proclamation of Croatian independence, on the 12th April 1941., Croatian state published the first stamps, the first official frankoprovizorij (support regular edition) of Croatian Independent States. From stamps with overprint , provisionals published seven editions, and one edition frankomaraka portomaraka (official postal subsequent postage charges). Other editions were printed as "definitive" editions. Pushed and commemorative issues such as the famous Croats - Zrinski and Frankopan, and several official stamp franking parcels were intended for postal traffic among state institutions. By the end of May 1945. ISC a postal administration issued 46 stamps of various issues. - 1945. 1991.Three months after the parliamentary decision on proclamation of Croatian independence, a month before its entry into force on 9th September 1991. was put into circulation the first of Croatian postage stamp.

SEATTLE - Right fielder Matt Stevens went 2-for-4 with four runs batted in and a three-run homer as the Washington baseball team exploded for 14 runs in the late innings and beat Gonzaga, 16-6, in the Huskies' final non-conference game of the season Tuesday night at Husky Ballpark.
Stevens, who began the season with three hits in his first 40 at bats, has collected 17 hits in his last 41 times up over, raising his average from .075 to .247 over the last 10 games.
The Huskies improved to 27-23 on the season while the Bulldogs, in their final regular season game before the West Coast Conference championship series this weekend at San Diego, fell to 32-23.
UW reliever Brandon McKerney (3-1) picked up the win with two-thirds innings of work. Closer Nick Hagadone, who entered the game in the seventh with the Huskies up by a 7-6 score, worked the final two and one-third for his 11 save.
The Huskies got started in the first. After Michael Burgher led off with a walk, shortstop Danny Cox lifted his fourth home run of the year to straightaway center field, giving the UW an early 2-0 lead.
Gonzaga scored a pair in the third to tie it at 2-2. With two on and one out, first baseman Ryan Wiegand singled to send hom Evan Wells. After a second out, shortstop Aaron McGuinness' single to center drove home Wiegand to tie it.
The Bulldogs took a 3-2 with a run in the fourth as Mike Terry led off with a walk and eventually came in on a two-out single from Bryan Winston. The Zags added a fourth in the sixth when Wiegand walked with the bases loaded.
Washington stormed back to take the lead in the sixth, scoring a five runs off of reliever Jeremy Stumetz, who threw a complete-game shutout to beat the Huskies in March. After a walk and a single put two aboard, Ty Rasmussen singled home one. After a sacrifice bunt, an RBI single from Stevens tied it. Stevens moved to second on a wild pitch and catcher Brett Wilcox singled to center to break the tie as both runners came around.
After a strikeout, Burgher reached on a bunt single, and with an errant throw to first on the play, Wilcox scored to make it a 7-4 Husky lead.
Gonzaga got back to within a run in the seventh, scoring two without the benefit of a base hit. With one out and the bases loaded on two hit batters and a walk, Bryan Winston was hit by a pitch to force in a run. Holcomb followed with a groundout to send in another, cutting the lead to 7-6.
However, in the bottom of the inning, with one run already in on a Rasmussen sacrifice fly, Stevens went the other way with a three-run homer down the right-field line, increasing the lead to 11-6.
In the eighth, the Huskies added five more as Cox, who went 2-for-5 with three RBI, singled home one before Hague followed with a towering two-run homer to left-center. Hague went 3-for-3 with three runs, two RBI and two walks. Later in the eighth, Bryce Anderson's pinch-hit single drove in two more.
Burgher and Curt Rindal also had three hits for the UW. Wiegand and McGuinness each added two hits for the Zags. Stumetz (4-2) suffered the loss for Gonzaga.
The Huskies travel to Tucson this weekend for a three-game series with No. 14 Arizona. Friday's game begins at 7:00 p.m. First pitch Saturday is at 6:00 p.m. and the series concludes Sunday at noon. Fans can catch live audio broadcasts of all three games on the "Dawg Channel" at gohuskies.com.

Our efforts can make the Institute and Proceedings ever more relevant and contemporary, and our younger professionals will gain a new understanding of current national and maritime issues and significant historic events.
I challenge each junior officer, Chief Petty Officer—Navy and Coast Guard alike—and Marine staff NCO to submit at least one article for publication during the next year. Take a stand on an important issue, write a compelling argument, and submit the work for consideration. Your voices and your ideas for improving our services are needed and desired. Among those thousands of submissions are undoubtedly dozens of worthy Proceedings articles, and likely dozens more Naval History articles, just waiting to be published. Start a debate, or join an ongoing discussion, and make an impact.
Membership in any organization should not be compulsory for military professionals, and these recommendations do not call for obligatory membership. Reading Proceedings and Naval History is no less important than the services' professional reading lists and should be encouraged. All leaders should promote participation in healthy debates. Doing so requires one to research alternative points of view and consider counterarguments while exercising the mind on important and often complex issues.
Individuals unsure of their own writing abilities should just take a shot; you might surprise yourself, and the skilled Proceedings editors can polish an otherwise worthy essay. If you wonder what you might write about, try my method. I read or hear about things in the Navy that make me angry, and I write about them. My inspiration comes from the things I see wrong that I feel strongly about. I hope to include here articles about things I see going right, but I'll probably concentrate on areas where I think changes or improvements need to be made. Potential contributors are free to write about whatever inspires them.
From the deckplates, I will introduce matters I feel need to be discussed, and I may revisit some old issues with a new twist. But it's not enough that my ideas appear alone. I want Proceedings readers to think about and analyze my arguments, as well as those of all authors, and dissect them in well-written supportive or counter-arguments submitted for Comment and Discussion. If you agree, say so. If you disagree, say so louder. If you have other ideas related to the topics chosen, let Proceedings readers hear them. It is through healthy debate, a constructive point, counter-point dialogue, that issues will be fleshed out for our senior leaders.
Each of us has the opportunity to inform our leaders' decisions and let them know what we think is important. The Naval Institute and Proceedings are significant catalysts for that communication. I encourage senior enlisted and junior officer leaders to join the debate!

Some car buyers are still skeptical of purchasing a hybrid vehicle, observing other drivers as the guinea pigs for the new models. The 2006 film "Who Killed the Electric Car?" made people more confused by why the auto industry and government were so opposed to electric cars. But it also made the more skeptical buyers wonder whether the cars were worth all the trouble.
The government excuse won't work anymore, especially considering the speech President Obama held today, Tues., Feb. 18, to speak about how helping the environment helps cut costs. A few highlights from the speech at a Safeway distribution center in Upper Marlboro, Md.:
"For the first time in nearly 20 years, America produces more oil at home than we buy from other countries. Our levels of dangerous carbon pollution that contributes to climate change has actually gone down as our production has gone up. And one of the reasons why is because we dedicated ourselves to manufacturing new cars and new trucks that go farther on a gallon of gas. That saves families money. It cuts down on harmful pollution. And it creates new advances in American technology."
"For decades the fuel efficiency standards of our cars and trucks was stuck in neutral...carbon pollution was going unchecked, which was having severe impacts on our weather. That's why after taking office my administration worked with automakers, auto workers, environmental advocates and states across the country, and we set in motion the first ever national policy aimed at both increasing gas mileage and decreasing greenhouse gas pollution for all new cars and trucks sold in the United States."
"And as our automakers retooled and prepared to start making the world's best cars again we aim to raise fuel economy standards to 35.5 miles per gallon for a new vehicle by 2016."
Toyota is one of the leading industries to sell hybrid cards in large numbers. According to AP, Toyota sold 5.125 million hybrid cars by March of last year.
Total sales evenly split between electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids increased by 84 percent in 2013 to over 96,000 units, according to AutoTrader. The site also confirmed that Toyota was responsible for approximately 60 percent of all hybrid sales in 2013 due to popular hybrid models, such as the Prius, Camry Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid.
Not all hybrid cars are made from the Japanese automaker. Out of the current 16 total hybrid cars, consumers can still buy American. Six of the greenest cars made in America, according to CNN Money, are the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Model S, Toyota Avalon, Ford C-Max Energi, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Focus EV.
"I think hybrids are a step towards the future in making this world better -- saving people money, getting better gas mileage," said Will Gordon, GM Specialist and Cadillac Sales representative for Grossinger, during a previous AC interview.
For SUV lovers, the winner for the 2014 Best Hybrid SUV for the Money is the Lexus RX, which burns 32 city mpg and 28 highway mpg.
As usual, cars trump SUVs for getting the most regular gas and E85 oil for a buck. With the U.S. car Nissan LEAF, for example, the 2013 version burns 129 city mpg and 102 highway mpg.
So with hybrid cars helping consumers spend less to travel and help the environment, what's stopping them from purchasing the vehicles now that the government isn't in the way? Usually long lines and required down payments before hybrid cars or trucks are in the dealerships. Some have heard too many horror stories about recalls. Others aren't impressed by the looks of hybrid cars. But HybridCars.com reports that the alternative vehicle count will increase by about one-third in the next year.

Connaught Square Squirrel Hunt
The CSSH drag-hunt squirrels across Hyde Park, meaning that one member runs through the park with an old sock on a string, and the dog chases after this pretend 'squirrel.' Close on the paws of the dog are the hundred or so sweating followers, trying to keep up. After no more than thirty seconds the dog catches the sock, has a good chew, and after a short break for everyone to catch their breath, it all starts again.
Here's Dillon and master, on 'horseback.' On the way to Hyde Park we all stop outside 29 Connaught Square, the retirement home for Tony Blair, for a photo opp for the horde of media. The hunt say they named themselves after this square to remind TB about what they call his worst piece of legislation.
The 'squirrel' is just an old sock, but Dillon still seems to enjoy the chase.
Your fearless reporter gets trampled by the mob. And Dillon gets his breath back for a repeat performance.
The purpose of the hunt is explained on their website as follows.
It is absurd that the Hunting Act prohibits you from encouraging a dog to chase a squirrel. More than that, it is frightening that your dog could be put down and you could be fined £5,000 for saying "Go on Rover, get after it!".
What is really sinister though, is that if a policeman thought you might want your dog to chase a squirrel in the future, he could raid your home and confiscate evidence.. All this without a warrant from a Magistrate: even a suspected burglar has more rights than a suspected Squirrel-Hunter!
When we realised that the innocent habits of most dog-owners were illegal, it was clear that this should be publicised as much as possible. People should be made aware of the law and how to act within it. And the more people that think the Hunting Act is an ass, the more people will support its repeal.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Powerball winning numbers for October 9, 2013 results tonight have just been released to news. The Powerball winning numbers have been running for recent weeks. Last Saturday, no one had the winning results. But did that change tonight? Your Powerball winning numbers for 10-9-13 were just announced by officials moments ago. They are 3, 9, 19, 33, 38, Powerball: 18.
Powerball winning numbers for October 9, 2013 are being announced just weeks before a competitor makes changes to their change. Mega Millions' new format will roll in later this month to provide bigger draws like Powerball. The game hopes to attract more players that have been spending money on Powerball instead.
Powerball, however, has been dominating news for years. Two years ago this month, Kathy Scruggs was enjoying her win of Powerball. She correctly selected the September 14, 2011 draw, and picked up twenty-five million dollars. But she didn't plan to play Powerball that week. "I asked for a Mega Millions ticket, and the lady gave me a Powerball ticket," she told news at the time. "I just took it anyway. So I bought Powerball and Mega Millions."
When she won, she was shocked. "We were screaming and hollering, and everybody came running," she said. "I could not believe it. I'm going to build my mom and grandmother a home. That's my first focus. I'm happy and grateful. I really am." For other Powerball and Mega Millions results click HERE.

The Beastie Boys have served up numerous pre-order packages for their latest LP, Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2, with varying price points and goodies. Head on over to BeastieBoys.Com and take a look.
This album is something I have been waiting to hear for years! The last few Beastie releases were a bit disappointing to me but this right here is them back to form and really on point like it was 93 all over again! Hope they go on tour soon cause I can't wait to hear these tracks live!
This set looks awesome, especially the silver records
Yea definitely gonna be buying this awesome set! I still need to buy all their albums on vinyl… Been slacking on getting those…
The last one I got was "Intergalactic" and that was allright… they had another one with a track called "5 boroughs" (I think) after that which I had on cd… but most of the other tracks on there weren't very good.
I ordered the $50 pack a few weeks ago….can't wait. I've been avoiding the leaks, and I feel like I'm 17 again, only waiting to get my download code at midnight instead of being in line at a record store.

Good, entertaining show. Talented performers. Very poor viewing with 95% of audience standing around stage, and stage was not elevated high enough. Only had seating for maybe 20 people. Need more seating, or higher stage, or elevated viewing stands. Also sound system / microphone problems were a detraction.

New Bike Lanes in Centennial
Submitted by David on
Bike Lanes in Centennial
The City of Centennial recently completed construction of 18 miles of new on-street bike lanes with striping and signage throughout the City. This project is part of a city-wide biking network connecting parks, schools, and existing trails. The use and restrictions of bike lanes is currently governed by the official signage and markings placed along the roadway. The City has placed and will continue to maintain traffic control devices such as directional signage on its streets and highways to regulate, warn, or guide traffic conforming to the Model of Traffic Code (MTC) and the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
There are many safety rules to follow when driving or riding in Centennial. A few safety measures to keep in mind are:
• Bicycles do ride in the right-hand most lane of traffic, or in designated bicycle lanes; when being overtaken by another vehicle they should ride as close to the ride-hand side of the road as practical.
• Parking was generally not changed as a result of the bike lane program this year. If a parking lane is striped between the curb and bike lane, do park in it. If there is no parking lane between the curb and bike lane, do not park in the bike lane. Do not park in any area that is signed for No Parking or is in a travel lane along a street.
• Do share the lane with bicyclists. "Sharrows", painted bike symbols on the pavement indicate to drivers to share the lane with bicyclists.
• When making a right-hand turn along a marked bike lane do move into the bike lane before the intersection, first signaling the lane merge, then yielding to any bicycles in the lane, then merging right to the curb lane, then finally making the actual turn when safe.
• Do not drive in designated bike lanes unless turning in or out of access points – and even then, bicyclists always have the right-of-way when traveling in a bicycle lane.

At 165 lbs., I wasn't just overweight, but in pain due to poor nutrition and stress. I put everyone before me, because I wasn't important. What I wanted or felt didn't matter. I knew something had to be done, for the sake of my children, but what? I didn't know where to start, I was too shy to join a gym, didn't know what diet changes I should make, etc…
Long story short, I started making little changes in my diet, controlling my portions, and went out for an hour walk every day. That walk turned into workout DVDs, then to a gym membership, which then turned into personal training sessions. I made a huge improvement, but was still very far from reaching my goal weight or physique.
One year later, we made a move from California to Arizona. It was the hardest thing being away from my parents and my sister, but I knew God had a plan for me. Every day I would go the gym to clear my mind, exercise was my therapy. After about 6 months of living here, I hired a personal trainer who not only helped me make healthier choices but helped me find myself again. I knew what I wanted and it mattered now, and most importantly, I started to love and respect myself again. Exercise and clean eating became my lifestyle.
As if all these changes weren't hard enough, I got injured, hurt my lower back; doctors told me it was a herniated disk, and was told to stay away from the gym until my back and core are stronger. (How do you strengthen any area of your body without exercise? I don't know…interesting doctors out there today. I was told not to run, jump, lift weights or be in a sitting position for more than 20 minutes at a time. At first I followed the doctor's advice, but came to understand that that didn't heal anything and it sure didn't make me happy, the fear of going back to where I was frightened me. No matter what anyone said, my gut feeling was different. I wanted to get out there and run, I wanted to lift weights, go hiking and do all the things I love doing with my boys. It just felt the right thing to do, because my faith was stronger than my fears. So, I went back to the gym, exercised 4-6 days a week and continued eating clean. The pain comes and goes but I have more better days than bad days, so I make the best of it.
At 120 lbs now, I finally feel comfortable in my body and am the happiest I've been in the longest time. I've ran two half marathons, (because someone once said I can't run), had a blast at a couple of mud runs and surprised myself with how strong of a woman I am. My next goal was to join CrossFit!
On 6-1-2012 I joined CrossFit Scottsdale and did my baseline workout with finish time of 6:38 –which at the time was great! I've since started doing personal training with Coach Erin, who is amazing! I love the fact that she has a list of my goals and every time we meet we work on those goals. CrossFit makes you better at everything! I love my CrossFit Scottsdale community, we're all family here, and one person's success is everyone's success. Two weeks ago, I re-did my baseline WOD with a finish time of 5:10! Special thanks to Najla Kayyem and Coach Erin for celebrating my success like no other and for steering me in the right direction. I'm forever grateful! Having never given up, which is very easy to do when you're in constant pain, this is how I got to my 'Now' picture, and the reason why I'm not saying that's my after photo is because it's not! I train like there's no finish line; I don't think I'll ever have an 'after' photo, because my goals are endless and I am not a quitter! I can surely say I'm now a good example to my boys as they deserve a healthy role model. – Mary Arabyan

At 165 lbs., I wasn't just overweight, but in pain due to poor nutrition and stress. I put everyone before me, because I wasn't important. What I wanted or felt didn't matter. I knew something had to be done, for the sake of my children, but what? I didn't know where to start, I was too shy to join a gym, didn't know what diet changes I should make, etc…

Yesterday afternoon a new political website was launched. The title for the website is the seemingly anti-LD http://www.WhatTheHellHaveTheLibDemsDone.com.
An initially tempting concept designed to attract ardent Labourites and staunch Tories to gloat in their public flogging of the Liberals over the tuition fees u-turn and other seemingly irreversibly damaging decisions since entering the Coalition Government last year.
Once in, the rather bland yet suitable website all becomes clear. Since forming the Government with the Conservatives they have, according to the site, achieved a great deal that they had promised in their pre-Coalition manifesto. Obviously the creator, failed LD Northwest Norfolk PPC William Summers, seems to have noticed that his party has been receiving a hard time of late.
Whether or not it will pay dividends electorally and start to genuinely reconstruct the credibility of their party remains to be seen; but with them currently trailing at 10% (YouGov) it may seem like a long way off before any campaigning, digital or otherwise, can restore the power they had after the initial TV debates.
It is worth highlighting that this bears no formal endorsement from the Liberal Democrat office, and why would it? The current toxicity of their brand would only serve to pollute the simple and elegant attempt at viral marketing that is so popular with the Twitter generation. It takes an ingenious loner activist to come up with a concept as philosophically witty as this, and as the creator was a PPC there is little doubt the LDHQ would have at least been aware of his antics.
One logical route that this site ignores is the role that Conservative politicians have agreed, aided and supported these campaigns for policy reform. This website makes the unconscious association that as these developments were in the LD manifesto that they must only have been pushed through due process solely by the Liberal Democrats. It will be interesting to see how CCHQ respond (if at all!) to this guerilla style of public relations activity, especially as they appear to need to up their game at present.
Establishing credible institutional reputation following crises (e.g. BP) will take a while. But items such as this will be the welcome first salvos for Lib Dem activists everywhere. The 3,000 hits the site has received in the measly few hours since its launch is testament to this. The fight to regain their momentum seems to be starting here, and the Conservatives need to prepare for it.

No Need to Freak Out After Selloff
Everybody relax.
Yesterday's big selloff following President Obama's reelection caused quite the stir on Wall Street. One strategist cut his year-end S&P 500 price target, while others warned potentially more volatility ahead could prompt safe havens such as Treasurys and the dollar to benefit as the fiscal cliff looms.
But Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Banyan Partners in New York, is taking a different approach. He suggests investors take a deep breath and stop freaking out about things that aren't exactly fresh concerns.
"What investors need to focus in on is that none of these concerns are new," Pavlik says. While worries over Europe and the brewing fiscal fight in Washington have been hanging over the market for quite some time, the S&P 500 has still been able to muster an 11% year-to-date advance.

So, does that mean the rally will continue unabated through the end of 2012? Not necessarily: Pavlik says he has taken precautions by booking some profits and raising cash levels as year-end approaches.
But he also isn't forecasting a disastrous scenario ahead: "We tend to believe that some type of behind the scenes compromise will be worked on with the details slowly being leaked to the public," he says. "As the behind the scene dealings grow we could foresee the market setting up for a year-end rally."
Stocks inched higher Thursday morning following yesterday's drubbing. The Dow recently rose 24 points, or 0.2%, to 12955, led higher by Bank of America and JPMorgan, which were yesterday's biggest decliners.
The S&P 500 rose 3 points, or 0.3%, to 1398, as utilities and financial stocks paced Thursday's gains. The index is down about 5% since peaking in mid-September at about 1465.
Pavlik foresees a scenario in which the S&P 500 suffers a correction in the range of 7% to 10%, meaning there could be more room to the downside, before stocks bounce higher through the end of the year.
A 7% pullback would take the index down to about 1363, while a 10% correction would put the index at 1319.
"One near-term hold up is the psychologically important level of 1400," he says. "There is a real possibility of the market attempting to hold around the 1400 level for a few days. However we eventually see this level being given up."
Once the pullback runs its course, he expects stocks to finish the year on a positive note.
"For the past year and a half, investors have repeatedly stepped into the market after it has pulled back by seven percent," he says. "These moves have been designed as bargain hunting maneuvers and we believe there is an increased possibility of this occurring again."

Sophomore Corey Thompson
April 24, 2010
HOUSTON, Texas - Jimmy Comerota and Rick Hague each collected four hits including home runs and Taylor Wall struck out nine as Rice took game one of the three-game Conference USA series from No. 21 East Carolina in easy fashion Friday night, 20-3. With the win the Owls improve to 24-16 overall and 9-4 in league play, while the Pirates drop their third straight game to fall to 24-15 and 6-4.
Rice, who entered the contest as the top hitting team in league action, torched the Pirates pitching staff for 20 hits, seven for extra bases, with five Owls recording at least two hits. Joining Comerota and Hague in the hit fest were Abe Gonzales (2 hits), Chad Mozingo (3) and Anthony Rendon (3). Comerota and Mozingo led the Owls with four RBI a piece, while Hague and Gonzales added three each.
Wall (3-4) was sharp in his 11th outing of the year allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits in seven innings of work. Mark Haynes tossed two innings of perfect relief retiring the side in the eighth and ninth frames.
Zach Woods (5-2) suffered his first loss in C-USA action after surrendering 10 runs (all earned) on 12 hits in five innings with five punch outs. D.J. Jauss made his fifth appearance out of the bull pen giving up five runs (all earned) on four hits and Mike Anderson closed the game working the bottom of the eighth where he allowed five runs (one earned) on four hits with a strikeout.
Rice wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard taking a 3-0 lead in the first. Rendon plated the first run on an opposite field double off of the first pitch he saw from Woods that scored Hague. Two batters later, Comerota singled up the middle scoring Jeremy Rathjen and Rendon.
Hague led off the third with a solo shot to left center and Diego Seastrunk doubled home Rendon to push the Owls lead to 5-0 in the third stanza.
Three consecutive hits to right field by Corey Thompson, Kyle Roller and John Wooten helped the Pirates score a run in the fourth. With the bases loaded, Devin Harris lifted a Wall pitch to center field scoring Thompson to pull ECU with in four, 5-1.
Mozingo scored the Owls sixth run of the contest in the bottom of the fourth on Hague's third hit of the game, a single to right center, pushing the lead to 6-1.
Philip Clark scored the Pirates second run of the game keeping ECU within four runs, 6-2. Clark reached on an infield single and took third on Jared Avchen's single to right before crossing home on Trent Whitehead's fielder's choice.
Rice responded by scoring four runs in the fifth, breaking the game wide open at 10-2. Comerota singled home Rendon, Gonzales doubled home Comerota and Gonzales and Fuda touched home on Mozingo's single and a throwing error by Woods.
Clark scored the final run of the night for ECU in the seventh when Whitehead grounded into a double play making the score 10-3. But a five-run seventh and eighth extended Rice's lead to 20-3 handing the Pirates their worse loss in C-USA history.
Offensively the Pirates had eight base knocks with Avchen and Thompson recording two hits. Roller extended his current streak to 38 consecutive games reaching base safely on his lone hit and Wooten extended his hit streak to nine games in the fourth frame.
Both teams will be back on the diamond Saturday afternoon for game two of the series, which will be televised on CBS College Sports at 3 p.m. (EDT).

Original Message
I thought I would repost this as a new thread to share with you for the Fall Equinox.
It is possible using only a standard moon almanac, the planetary correspondences of the days of the week, a supply of basic color candles, and the time to do a focused intentional mediation to do beneficial white magick.
Internally, the basic practice is essentially the same as guided mediation. When you have something that you want to accomplish in life, or you wish to defeat a bad habit or draw a new energy towards you, find a quite place and sit either cross-legged or in a chair.
First, do a basic breathing and relaxation exercise. Close your eyes, breath deeply into the bottom of your lungs, expanding your stomach, through your nose and out through your mouth by allowing your lungs to empty from the gentle fall of your stomach. Picture a golden ball of energy moving from the base of your body up to the top of your body, everywhere it goes, your body is completely relaxed and cleansed of dis-ease (an expanded version of this is an excellent healing mediation). When it reaches your head, allow yourself a few moments to feel the relaxation in your body and to get in tune with what it's telling you everywhere.
Now, clear your mind as best you can for a few moments. If you wish, you can try to hold a single-point mediation at this point, but that's only for extra centering if you are capable and you feel it necessary. At this point, you want to start to picture the things that you need to do in life to get the desired result you want. Imagine in as vivid detail as you can all the aspects of the things you need to do to get what you Will and you see yourself accomplishing them with the necessary effort and poise, nothing is holding you back at the point of action and you are fully prepared in each moment to take course that will accomplish your objective. Notice the reaction of the people around you taking note of your poise and ability, and their willingness to of their own free will without coercion or force of any kind on your part provide you what you Will to see the end you desire.
Now, of course, what does this have to do with the moon and candles? Well, I started with the hard part, which is also the only really important part, because if you are still reading this, here is where you can get a bit of help from what magicians have known for thousands of years.
Using your own judgement, pick the best phase and house of the moon to do your mediation and also to take your first practical actions on your course to achieve that which you Will. You can also pick a time when the right phase and house of the moon fall on a day of the week which is beneficial to accomplish your aim, when these fall together in synchronization, especially on a Full or New Moon, these are the power days to do spell work. You can choose the color of your candles based on the color correspondence to the planet that rules the day of the week, or to the planet that rules the astrological sign, or both. You can also include white, gray, or blue candles for the moon, I like to do this especially with New Moon magick to give my friend some extra shine.
Pick your time or times, find a spot where you are not going to be bothered, setup your candles safely, light them, and then sit relax and start with the golden ball at your feet and work your way up to what you Will to occur in life.
When you start combining this stuff with Tarot cards, herbs, incense blends, stones, potions, and ceremonial magick, that's when stuff gets really interesting, but anything beyond what I have given REALLY needs a divination beforehand to be done safely. The small ritual I have provided here is really white magick, since you are enacting beneficial change upon yourself, there isn't too much chance of anything going wrong, provided you remember not to poison your mind with the desire to control others.
Happy spellwork.

According to a Feb. 3 report from MMA Junkie, Canadian standout Sarah Kaufman (16-2, 1 NC) had some harsh words for Jessica Eye (10-1, 1 NC) after the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Commission revealed that the Ohio native failed her UFC 166 post-fight drug test.
Kaufman, 28, blasted Eye for not being able to control what substances she puts in her body.
She also said athletes who fail drug tests mar the sport by acting in a disrespectful nature towards their opponents and the promotions they work for.
Kaufman's criticism was surprisingly harsh, especially after it was revealed that Eye's failed drug test was not due to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Apparently, Eye used a blood-thinning medication prior to the fight against Kaufman because she was treating a long-standing issue stemming from an accident from when she was hit by a drunk driver during her teenage years.
Despite the updated report, Kaufman was still critical of the substances Eye took before the fight.
"It's not a loss but also not a win," Kaufman said. "I hate to see our sport marred by athletes who can't seem to control what substances they put in their bodies. It's disrespectful to their opponents and employers."
Eye's suspension is considered probationary in nature and she is still allowed to fight Alexis Davis at UFC 170 as long as she complies with the terms of the administrative decision by the TDLRC.
Eye was suspended for one year, effective Jan. 22, 2014, and fined $1,875 for failing a drug test for a banned substance following her UFC 166 win over Kaufman.
Eye will still be fighting Davis at UFC 170, and it's not yet clear if she'll still face suspension after the fight.

College Hockey:Niagara's Welch Continues Comeback in Win Over Findlay
Freshman Scores His First Collegiate Hat Trick
LEWISTON, N.Y. — What a season it's been for Niagara freshman Chris Welch.
The Tonawanda, N.Y., native seemed to be coming into his own as an offensive forward in November, ending the month by securing MVP honors at the Syracuse Invitational Tournament. Yet, his momentum came to a halt after tearing the MCL in his left knee two games into December.
Welch finally returned to game action last weekend, but emphatically announced he's back before 1,251 fans at Dwyer Arena on Saturday as he notched his first collegiate hat trick in the Purple Eagles' 5-0 win over CHA guest Findlay.
Welch's last goal came in the same game he injured his knee, a 2-0 win over Alabama-Huntsville on Dec. 2.
Welch assisted on Nick Kormanyos' game-winning overtime goal last weekend at Findlay, but had not found the back of the net himself until 5:15 of the second period last night. Welch added a shorthanded goal and a power-play goal in the third period to help Niagara post its fourth straight win.
"I worked my butt off trying to get into shape. I was riding the bike with that big knee brace that went from my hip to my ankle two weeks before I started to skate just to get into shape. Now that I got that back and had a game like this … I feel like I'm part of the team which feels great," said Welch, who is tied for second on the team in goals scored with nine.
"We're getting so much more out of him than I thought we would," NU coach Blaise MacDonald said. "I really compare him to a poor man's Chris Drury [Colorado Avalanche forward]. He plays with a great tenacity. He hunts down loose pucks. He absolutely possesses true grit. We really missed him when he was out. Our team kind of struggled a bit. Now that he's back, we're starting to establish a pretty good identity."
Freshman Hannu Karru and sophomore Chris Sebastian also scored for the Eagles, who dominated the final two games of an unusual four-game series against the Oilers. A scheduling quirk had the two teams playing back-to-back, two-game weekend series against each other. Niagara improved to 12-0 lifetime against Findlay.
The Purple Eagles (13-12-3, 10-3-1 CHA) climbed over the .500 mark for the first time this season. They also earned a chance to defend their CHA tournament championship, clinching a playoff berth late Friday night after Alabama-Huntsville beat last-place Bemidji State 3-2. Niagara leads the CHA with 21 points.
NU used an aggressive offense to shackle the Oilers' attack the whole weekend, outshooting Findlay 99-30. Niagara peppered freshman netminder Kevin Fines with 52 shots Saturday, while its freshman goalie, Scott Lindsay, turned aside 11 shots in recording his first collegiate shutout.
"There were some timely saves that Scott made that kept us in the game and he knows that," MacDonald said. "He knows that we're outshooting a team dramatically and now if they come down and score, the momentum of the game is going to shift dramatically. He did a great job with his focus."
"I've really been focusing on getting mentally prepared for the games, so hopefully [I] can follow this one up with not getting pulled in the next one," said Lindsay, who has been pulled twice in his seven starts.
Findlay (6-10-2, 4-8-2) lost its sixth straight game and has not won in eight games since beating Ferris State two weeks before New Year's.
"We're pretty disappointed with our effort," Oilers coach Craig Barnett said. "It's probably the two poorest games we played this year."
The Eagles opened the scoring at the 18:32 mark of the first period as Karru deflected J.R. Holmes' shot from the left point just over the goal line. That was the Nokia, Finland, native's 10th goal of the season.
Welch gave NU a 2-0 lead in the second period. Kormanyos earned the assist and gave Niagara a chance to score when he intercepted a clearing attempt 30 seconds before the goal, preventing Findlay's tired skaters from getting a much-needed line change. Sebastian fired a shot from the right blue line through traffic that slipped by Fines at 10:37 to give the Eagles a three-goal cushion heading into the third period. Niagara held a 39-7 advantage in shots through 40 minutes.
Welch scored shorthanded at 4:57 of the third period unassisted and recorded the hat trick at 16:32 on the power play. Kormanyos and Scott Crawford drew assists.
The Purple Eagles open a four-game road trip Friday night at Bemidji.

Trusts are flexible instruments that can be designed to meet your personal, family, and/or business needs. We can structure and administer a wide range of trusts to suit your individual needs and circumstances.
Here are just a few examples of the types of trusts we offer:
- Discretionary Trusts
- Fixed Interest Trusts
- Accumulation and Maintenance Trusts
- Reserved Powers Trusts
- Private Trust Companies
- Sharia-Compliant Trusts
The information below is intended as an overview only. Arrangements are tailored to suit each client's individual needs and requirements.
Discretionary Trusts
A discretionary trust could be suitable if you are unable to predict the needs of your chosen beneficiaries or you cannot name individual beneficiaries (such as unborn grandchildren).
With a discretionary trust, your trustee has a large degree of discretion to exercise their own judgment as to the investment of the trust fund as well as the timing, manner and amount by which your beneficiaries might benefit.
Fixed Interest Trusts
A fixed interest trust allows you to specify exactly who should benefit from the trust and the manner in which they should benefit. The trustee, therefore, has very few, if any, discretionary powers reserved to it under the terms of the trust.
A fixed interest trust may be most suitable if you wish to distribute the income generated from trust assets to a particular person during his or her lifetime (for example, your spouse), but you would like the eventual beneficiaries of those assets to be other persons (such as your children).
Accumulation and Maintenance Trusts
An accumulation and maintenance trust is typically used to benefit a particular group of beneficiaries, such as grandchildren. This arrangement is often partly discretionary and partly fixed, with the trustee (depending on the terms set out in the trust deed) being given relative freedom to make decisions in the best interests of your beneficiaries prior to them reaching a certain age.
Reserved Powers Trusts
A reserved powers trust may be suitable if you wish to retain a degree of control over how your assets are managed, such as decisions affecting investments and addition and removal of beneficiaries.
This type of trust may also be ideal if your primary objective is not mitigating tax liabilities.
Private Trust Companies
A private trust company (PTC) is a company which acts as a trustee and the PTC can be owned by you or more usually be owned by a "purpose" trust that we administer. A PTC may prove most useful if your family wants to create one or more trusts for various purposes, such as:
- Owning real estate, aircraft or yachts
- Consolidating the administration of various family trusts
- Owning commercial shipping or airline assets
- Structuring interests in private family mutual funds or private equity investments
- Owning separate closely held interests in a family business
- Coordinating your family's philanthropic plans and objectives
A PTC can also offer you greater control as you, close advisors and family members may serve on the board of directors of the trust company or have trusted advisors on the board to operate it.
Sharia-Compliant Trusts
If you wish to include relevant aspects of Sharia law in your succession plan, a Sharia-compliant trust can allow you to adhere to your Islamic faith while effectively preserving and transferring assets to your heirs.

Entrust your assets to a leading trustee with an international reputation for excellence.

Heavy Weather Sailing - Learn What it Takes to Rig Your Boat Right!
Does your sailing crew or partner know how to hank-on, hoist, rig, and sail with the storm sails you carry aboard your boat? Heavy weather sailing tends to strike an apprehensive note in many sailors. But you can lower your stress with knowledge and practice. Get ready for blustery weather today with these three easy sailing tips.
1. Practice Rigging Heavy Weather Sails Now
Try out your storm jib or working jib or trysail in moderate winds. Learn how to rig these sails the right way. Realize that they have different tack settings, sheet leads, and idiosyncrasies. Work these out before you get into those conditions that demand them. For example:
Storm jib tacks need to be raised off the deck with a wire or fiber pendant. This might be 9" to 18". Raise the tack on these headsails to allow boarding waves to slide beneath the sail and give the helm better visibility. Mark the track sheet lead blocks for the storm jib sheets now so you will be able to do this in an instant in the future.
Trysails replace a reefed mainsail in extreme weather. If you carry a trysail aboard, work out a luff attachment point on the mast. Many boats install an external track on the aft side of the mast for the trysail. Unlike your mainsail, trysails have a loose foot and leech, and are sheeted onto one side of the boat, much like a headsail. Work out the block leads and rigging now so that you will be able to do this in minutes when the tough stuff comes your way.
2. Sail in Stiff Breezes to Prepare for Heavy Breezes
Go out in weather with stronger and stronger winds. Sunday sailing in light air will not prepare you. Watch the forecast. When you see winds at 15-25 knots, get underway and go sailing with your sailing crew or partner. Get comfortable in these wind speeds. Learn to change out sails and reef smooth and easy when sailing short-handed (or single-handed!).
Mark your halyards and reefing lines at the belay point on cleats or exit points on rope clutches. This will reduce reefing time. Label your reefing grommets along the luff of your mainsail (#1; #2; #3). That way, when you haul down the sail, even with the luff bunched up, you can tell in an instant which grommet you see. Make things "drop-dead" simple so that you can do them in trying conditions.
3. Keep Sails Bagged the Right Way
Keep your heavy weather sails ready and easy to get to. Fold your storm jib and trysail the correct way (see Related Articles below). Make your sails ready to hook on the moment they come out of the bag.
Keep the tack of the storm jib at the top of the bag. That way, when you open the bag, the first corner to be attached--the tack--will be on top, ready to grab first. Trysails are often fed into an external track head first, so keep the trysail head on top in their bag.
Take the time to practice heavy weather sailing in moderate conditions to become familiar with hoisting and rigging aboard your boat. Gain the confidence today to meet tougher conditions tomorrow--wherever in the world you choose to cruise!

You expect more from the NCAA? They waited until after the bowl to suspend the Ohio State guys. How long did Chiz lose Cam Newton for in the season Auburn "won" the national title? How about Reggie Bush? Johnny Football is just dumb enough to sign some autographs for enough money for new rims for his car, but NCAA gets their cash from universities like his that get money from TV. You think TV guys want a diminished product to sell? They can punish A&M and little Johnny after the advertisers pay them for each game he starts.

I'm pretty sure he did it, but it doesn't matter as NCAA won't punish the biggest star they have before the season. It's a slap on the wrist. How much will A&M pour it on after he returns just to build his stat line?
The irony, I can taste it. A&M website selling a picture of Johnny Manziel in the article in which they announce the suspension of Johnny Manziel for signing autographed pictures that would later be sold.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.

It's technically for some NCAA bylaw which kindly requests that players try to stop people from selling their signatures. It's pretty stupid. They should've given him no suspension.

In any of these NCAA violation cases where there is no clear evidence or individuals willing to come forward, all the parties involved have to do is to deny any wrong-doing and keep their stories straight between them, and nothing will happen. The NCAA has no power to subpoena documents that could contradict the answers given to the NCAA investigators, and they don't have to power to compel outside individuals to give any statements.
If you look back at things like the SMU death penalty, the Reggie Bush/USC incident, tOSU/Tressel incident, the only reason the NCAA was able to do anything in those cases was because some of the individuals involved talked to the NCAA and gave evidence.
The inability of the NCAA to seriously investigate these things is is never going to change unless something radical happens, like, for example, a federal law being passed that makes the payments to players prohibited by the NCAA rules actually illegal. Perhaps the law would give investigative authority to the NCAA, who could then subpoena witnesses and documents. Another thing that would have to happen would be for the professional sports leagues to institute meaningful bans on players found to have broken the NCAA rules (i.e. a current pro player found to have violated the NCAA rules is immediately banned for a given amount of time, and a college player found to have violated the rules cannot join the professional leagues for a given amount of time).
Neither of these things is likely to ever happen, so the NCAA will continue to run around with potency similar to that of a steer sent out to service the herd...
Which furthers the question: what exactly is the point of the NCAA?
Originally Posted by Clonefan32

That is a very good question. At this point, the purpose seems to be to punish those institutions that self-report violations.
If an individual, group of individuals, or an entity has no integrity and is willing to lie to cover up their violations, they can pretty much go on breaking NCAA rules without repercussions. The only hope for those with integrity is that eventually somebody involved with the cheaters won't be able to keep quiet, or that somebody will grow a conscience and leak something.
On the other hand, the NCAA is member-based organization, and only has the authority that the members desire it to have. The NCAA is a "steer" because the majority of its members want it to be a "steer"...
