Andrew Welsh-Huggins, Associated Press
LEBANON, Ohio — As he sat in the doctor's office, ex-boxer and weightlifter Gerald Dixon explained that years of sports had left him in pain, especially his hands, and he was looking for relief.
After a cursory examination at the clinic in West Palm Beach, Fla., Dixon left with a prescription for 180 doses of OxyContin — and a plan to return to his Ohio home and sell them on the street.
The trips made by Dixon and others like him — authorities dub them "prescription" or "drug" tourists — have complicated the challenges investigators face trying to stem the flow of painkillers, whose prevalence have made drug overdoses the leading cause of accidental death in dozens of states including Ohio, Florida, Kentucky and Utah, surpassing car crashes.
Dixon, 52, a drug dealer for most of his adult life, had recently discovered a new angle on an old profession. By driving to Florida just once a month and acquiring a bagful of pain pills — legally and illegally — he could earn tens of thousands of dollars.
The only thing the medical clinics that Dixon visited in Florida cared about was the money, he said. A diagnosis for severe pain was easy to obtain.
"It's all about cash, cash, cash," Dixon said during a prison interview in April with The Associated Press. "You go, you pay the money, and they're going to come back and say, 'Yeah, you're right, you was hurt.'"
Prescription tourists thwart local efforts to combat the illegal sale of painkillers and to treat addicts by bringing huge volumes of drugs in from outside. Cracking down on the trade also requires complicated prosecutions crossing multiple state lines.
These tourists are based in a variety of states, but investigators in Kentucky, Ohio and West Virginia — where authorities have already cracked down on local pill mills — are among the busiest trying to track trips to Florida, Georgia and elsewhere.
The lucrative business involves drug dealers dispatching underlings like Dixon to states with numerous pill mills where they load up on painkillers, then return to sell the drugs to addicts willing to pay as much as $100 a pill, or as much as 10 times the drugstore price.
Florida for years was a popular destination because of its virtually unregulated pain clinic industry, which provided easy access to thousands of painkillers marketed under names like OxyContin, Vicodin and Percocet.
As Florida cracks down on its pill mills, the clinics have migrated to states like Georgia, which had practically none three years ago and now has as many as 150, said Richard Allen, director of the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency.
Runners — another term for people like Dixon or addicts sent to buy pills and take them home — are coming from as close as Kentucky and Tennessee and as far away as Arizona and Nebraska, Allen said.
"They're like a swarm of locusts," he said. "Once they have a scrip, they'll hit every pharmacy in the state trying to get them filled."
In eastern Kentucky, several residents arrested in 2009 in a massive drug sweep had visited the Lauderhill Medical Clinic in Oakland Park, Fla. U.S. Attorney Kerry Harvey estimates that nine of every 10 patients at the clinic are from Kentucky. He prosecutes about five dozen cases a year involving prescription drugs.
At West Virginia's Huntington Tri-State Airport, authorities have dubbed low-cost flights to Florida aboard Allegiant Air the OxyExpress. The airline isn't accused of wrongdoing, and spokeswoman Jessica Wheeler says it hasn't been approached by authorities.
In Tennessee, strict laws governing pain clinics force drug dealers out of state for supplies, using Interstate 75 to bring pills back from Florida or move them farther north, said Kristin Helm, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

After recently traveling to Northern Kentucky University for a regional Student Technology Leadership Program competition, Owen County School's students once again proved that hard work pays off.
Nine out of 10 STLP projects —including an Owen County Primary School project — will advance to state competition in May in hopes of continuing on to the International Society for Technology in Education conference next summer in Philadelphia.
STLP is a project-based learning program that teaches students how to use technology to learn and achieve.
I went to Margie England's funeral last week.
If a funeral could be said to be nice, her funeral was. Maybe appropriate would be a better word. Two gentlemen spoke. One was her pastor at Dallasburg Baptist Church and the other a contemporary of Gilbert's.
Both their talks were about Margie. Her obit gave all the details of how she had spent her life as a teacher, supporter of her church, and member of organizations in the county and state. She was a very busy lady.
World Peace Day is a global event celebrated at noon Greenwich Mean Time or 7 a.m. EST on the last day of each year.
At this time, people the world over gather together for an hour of prayer and meditation for world peace.
Stop for a moment and think how profound this really is. People the world over set aside personal issues and step into the moment, coming together to be of one mind, of one place, of one time, aware that as they combine their thoughts and energies, they create opportunities for positive changes to manifest in the world.
The old saying goes defense wins championships.
For the Owen County Rebels, defense has been the difference since dropping the opening game of the season to Western Hills.
The Wolverines scored 57 points in their 1-point overtime win over the Rebels on night one.
In their next three games, no opponent has managed to score more than 44 points, resulting in three victories for the Rebels.
Trimble County and Carroll County were the latest opponents to struggle offensively and fall to Owen County.
It may be hard to think past Christmas, but before we know it prom season will be here.
Some students think about it the whole school year, planning what they will wear, who might ask them to go, and looking forward to that rite of passage.
Others dread thinking about prom because they know that a fancy dress or tux is a luxury that their family cannot afford.

In college, I was asked to write an essay about what I would do if I won the lottery and the paper turned out to be more of a business idea that is still my dream today.
My long-term vision is for Owen County to have a daycare center adjoining an assisted living facility where the children and the elderly of our community will have access to the best-possible care.
My short-term goal is to partner with caregivers who currently provide childcare services in their homes to establish a state of the art daycare cooperative.
It was not the sort of opening night the Rebels were hoping for. But they did bounce back.
Owen County opened the season Nov. 30 against Western Hills. The contest was tight throughout with neither team able to take command of the game. The Wolverines eventually won in overtime, 57-56.
The Rebels were playing somewhat shorthanded as Zach Ripy was battling an illness. The team, however, got a boost from an unexpected source. Junior Cooper Taylor played well, scoring 10 points. Ripy did play and scored seven points but it was obvious that he was not his usual self.

On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
On the Road Criminality Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
The guy just yelled above the roar, and all I had to do was yell back, and we relaxed. And he balled that thing clear to Iowa City and yelled me the funniest stories about how he got around the law in every town that had an unfair speed limit, saying over and over again, "Them goddam cops can't put no flies on my ass!" (I.3.5)
Sal and Dean's sentiments about the police are shared by many others they meet on the road.
Quote #5
In this town, under a big elm tree near a gas station, I made the acquaintance of another hitchhiker, a typical New Yorker, an Irishman who'd been driving a truck for the post office most of his work years and was now headed for a girl in Denver and a new life. I think he was running away from something in New York, the law most likely. He was a real red- nose young drunk of thirty and would have bored me ordinarily, except that my senses were sharp for any kind of human friendship. He wore a beat sweater and baggy pants and had nothing with him in the way of a bag - just a toothbrush and handkerchiefs. He said we ought to hitch together. I should have said no, because he looked pretty awful on the road. But we stuck together and got a ride with a taciturn man to Stuart, Iowa, a town in which we were really stranded. (I.3.8)
Sal simply assumes a criminal past of the impoverished men he meets on the road.
Quote #6
A tall, lanky fellow in a gallon hat stopped his car on the wrong side of the road and came over to us; he looked like a sheriff. We prepared our stories secretly. He took his time coming over. "You boys going to get somewhere, or just going?" We didn't understand his question, and it was a damned good question. (I.3.18)
Sal has an unreasonable fear of law enforcement, suspecting that any man approaching him is a policeman.

Ever the smart man, Mutula Kilonzo has hatched a new plan to undermine Kalonzo. It is widely known that Mutula has nothing but disdain for Musyoka. He is fabulously rich and has the brains that Kalonzo cannot match.
Now, after ensuring that kalonzo is out of parliament, Mutula is currently rolling out a plan of bringing all Kamba MPs to support Jubilee. Mutula knew that Jubilee would win but he, and Muthama, bludgeoned Kalonzo into cord to drive him into political death.
With the former VP now out of picture, he now want to lead the Kamba people back to Jubilee. Uhuru and Ruto announced the 18 people cabinet instead of the maximum 22 in order to leave space for expected entrance of the Kamba.

Part 2 – Lewis Wilkes Hine and the "Idaho Boys"
Between October 20 and November 27, 1933 Lewis W. Hine created 190 negatives for the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). 16 Black and white negatives would be of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) . The complete collection found in the National Archives titled "Lewis Hine TVA Collection" is his record of a time, place and people who would be displaced or changed, for better or worse, by the rising flood waters from the first of the TVA projects – the Norris Dam.
On Nov 6, 1933 at 2 o'clock the Oscar Cloud family "sat" before Lewis Hines' 4×5 box camera. Hine noted that the oldest son was in the CCC. In what capacity is not clear because Oscar and Cecil Cloud had 8 children and their eldest son Ollie (not pictured) was born in 1901, too old to be a CCC boy.
But son Bruce age 19, standing left, would be of CCC age and Charles, at 17, seated to Cecils' right was too young. The child who seems to be slipping from Oscars grasp has been identified as their son Ray. But this is questioned. Ray may have been 15 when this photo was taken and not likely to be sitting in Oscars lap. This is still being researched.
Like other families displaced by the flood waters, work was found with the CCC camps or the TVA. Oscar became a quarrymen on the Norris Dam Project.
Hine would return for one day, November 17, 1933 to photograph four of the 29 new CCC camps. Because of his notes and orderly numbering system we know the first camp he stopped at was TVA-22, where he describes the "Idaho boys" setting up tents for the new arrivals. He also mentions this camp being located on a hill above Fall Creek.
This location would become significant when reading the "Memories Along Clinch River"written by Vergie Brewer Perry. Vergie was a child living with her TVA displaced family in Union County when the CCC arrived. Her father and uncle rushed to apply for a job at the new CCC camp on the hill overlooking Fall Creek and were promptly hired. She recalls the difference this employment made in her family. Her father and uncle would walk upright and take longer strides, her mother bought a new dress. They thrived on the hustle and bustle brought to the area. She also recalls : "Once a car stopped, a man with a camera aimed it right at us, took a picture and went on his way."
They marveled at the tool laden trucks driving in areas no truck had ever gone before, and at seeing the tents the boys were sleeping in.
She also remembers stories her father would tell of the abundance of food that was served at the camp.
The Army transported CCC boys from all over of the United States to this area of eastern Tennessee . Each camp had a quota of 200. The landscape and lives in the Clinch River Valley were forever changed with the displacement of 3,500 natives in addition to the thousands of TVA workers and CCC boys who descended upon Union County in the Fall of 1933.
Hine stayed at camp TVA-22 long enough to photograph the new boys having lunch. These rookies had just arrived from New York in day coaches. They were tired, hungry and eager for their new life.
Lining up before their first meal, in camp, they listened to Captain Welsh explain the rules.
For many this was their first time away from home.
At the next stop, TVA-23, he photographed the new arrivals being issued blankets and cots.
For the last two camps he submitted just one photo each. A general view of the camps, TVA-24 and TVA-19.
Was he running out of daylight? Or maybe the boys were out on work details.
Hine was pleased with the work he produced for the TVA. It also seems he might have liked to see it continue.
But he left at the end of November due to a misunderstanding regarding the usage and ownership of the negatives.
Although the Lewis Wilkes Hine CCC collection is thin, it does have a unique aspect.
Hine left a part of himself behind with the CCC that day.
Did he see it when he took it? Did he notice it during the processing and printing? Hine had to approve the image and captions so, at some point, he must have seen his shadow, one would assume.
There it is, a silhouette of Lewis Wilkes Hine with the CCC boys from "Idaho" and New York, dining together at their new camp, TVA-22, which was situated north of Norris Dam on a hill above Fall Creek.
I would like to acknowledge sources and thank those who helped make sense of the stories behind Lewis W. Hine's CCC images.
Bob Pasquill, Alabama Forest Archeologist and Historian, author of "Civilian Conservation Corps in Alabama, A Great and Lasting Good" available through Alabama University Press. Each and every time I speak with you I gain a better understanding of the CCC. Can't thank you enough.
Great grandson of Oscar Cloud (later changed to McCloud). Whom I encourage to continue finding your family connections in the Clinch River area and possibly in the Lewis W. Hine photographs.

Portland, Oregon is a city defined by the rivers that run through it. Therefore, it is not surprising how heavily the city's bridges influence the lives of all those living there. Those bridges connect the diverse social as well as geographical factions of the city, offering routes for buses, trains, cars, bicycles and pedestrians. Giving tourists destinations to remember and artists places to be inspired. The bridges even offer home and shelter to the homeless. This book is an appreciation of all that, and then a bit more.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The Alabama football team continued preparations for the season opener against Michigan with a two-hour practice session in full pads on Monday afternoon at the Thomas-Drew Practice Facility.
The eighth-ranked Wolverines, under second-year head coach Brady Hoke, are coming off an 11-2 record and a Sugar Bowl victory over Virginia Tech last season.
Saturday's matchup between the Crimson Tide and Michigan will mark the first regular-season meeting between the two storied programs. UM holds a 2-1 edge in the series with the three previous games coming in bowl games.
"I guess everybody gets really excited when it's game week," said Alabama head coach Nick Saban. "Obviously, the most important game in preparing yourself for the season is the opening game. Our team has a done a really good job, and had a good attitude about all the things we've asked them to do in terms of the work ethic. They've had a good attitude of coming back."
Kickoff for Saturday's game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is slated for 7 p.m. (CDT). The game will be televised nationally by ABC with Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit calling the action and Heather Cox reporting from the sidelines.
The game has also been chosen as ESPN's College GameDay's Game of the Week. The popular college football preview show will broadcast live from Cowboys Stadium, getting started at 8 a.m. (CDT) Saturday.

Christie Calls Romney 'the Only Republican Who Can Win'
Although the New Jersey governor fielded more questions about himself than the candidate he was endorsing.
In a stump speech in West Des Moines, Iowa, for floundering Republican presidential nominee hopeful Mitt Romney, New Jersey governor Chris Christie called Romney "the most qualified person to be president" and "the only Republican who can win." The jovial governor's comments come at a time when poll respondents, including Iowans, believe quite the opposite: A new CNN/ORC poll has Gingrich leading Romney in the state, 33 percent to 20 percent.
Asked about that on his way out the door, Christie told a reporter he was not concerned by polls that showed Newt Gingrich surging in Iowa, CNN reports.
"Lots of people have surged in the polls out here. I wasn't concerned about Michele Bachmann or Herman Cain or Rick Perry, either," Christie said. "Mitt Romney is the steady, mature leader we need for our party and for our country."
Yet there's reason to believe that Gingrich is not simply the latest GOP flavor, and not only because he's hopelessly clueless like the candidates referenced.
It says a lot that at the Wednesday event for Romney, Christie was asked fewer questions about Romney than he was about Chris Christie. And although Christie has unequivocally denied that he will join the 2012 field, don't put it past donors to come calling again. In the meantime, expect more Christie stories about how nice Mitt is to his kids.

I decided to take my first shot at creating a JK2 skin. I am working off of the reborn pack since I wanted to have a hood. Well, ive replaced the reborn skins with my own creations, but I can not seem to remove the option of a FLAP. I even deleted the line partaining to the mentioning of flaps and then my model just ends up with a WHITE spot where the flap should go. Has anyone been able to use the HOOD but not have to use the flaps between the legs? If so, please tell me howyou did it?

There are seven articles so far for this month's carnival, "What's your favorite niche gold strategy?" Any blogs with a post which covers their author's favorite niche gold strategy just have to send me a link and it will get featured on the carnival with a short summary written by me. If you do not have a blog you can also recommend posts to me for the carnival. It's an amazing way to get traffic as the carnivals have proven to be a big favorite among readers here. If you get me a link within the next 23 hours I will try to have it posted on my site for tomorrow.
4.0 Gold Tip
Here's a tip in case 4.0 is released next week:
"Hey Markco,
I noticed this change in the beta patchnotes a few days ago and figured you would write something about it, since it's a pretty big change for jewelcrafters. I actually didn't see it mentioned on your blog or facebook, so I wanted to send you a tip about it.
* Transmute: Ametrine, Transmute: Cardinal Ruby, Transmute: Dreadstone, Transmute: Eye of Zul, Transmute: King's Amber, Transmute: Majestic Zircon had their cooldown removed, you might want to assume that this will be the case when 4.0.1 goes live.
Especially the last part is interesting for us, since it means this change will go live once patch 4.0.1 hits the live servers. I think it will be a good idea to stack up some cheap eternal fires and Scarlet Rubies so you can easily get a few stacks of Cardinal Rubies. The Delicate and Bold Cardinal Rubies will see a huge demand in price once patch 4.0.1 hits live, since everyone will replace their arp gems (of course you already noticed this on your blog). I',m not sure but if my memory doesn't fool me I think the haste or spellpower gems for casters will get changed as well, so you can make a decent profit out of people who are replacing these as well. Also you could use this method to get a few easy JC skillpoints when Cataclysm goes live.
Thanks for your time and keep up the great posts! Almost at the 200k mark and will probably hit my cata goal before it goes live, which is goldcapped.
Drogga - Azjol Nerub EU"
Basically, save the mats for your gems instead of transmuting and waiting for 4.0 to be released on live servers. I have a gut feeling that 4.0 will go live this coming Tuesday or the next so make sure you're prepared and take a look at these four ways to make gold with 4.0.
Reader Appreciation Week
Starting October 3rd I will be posting reader submitted content each day as a way of saying thank you to all the people who are constantly emailing me gold tips. Since a large majority of submitted content gets buried into a list of drafted and half finished posts I think this is a great opportunity to share what you've sent me with the rest of the community. Every post for October 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 8th will contain reader submitted posts, stories and tips. October 5th will be an answer to the numerous questions I get about a particularly useful addon within auctioneer. I will of course do what I can to add to the content of the emails with my own thoughts on the subjects at hand. If you are one of the many writers who did not get published fear not, I try my best to spread your ideas with twitter, facebook or the forums as well as the blog.

It can't go live Tuesday, as Blizzard announced that the current arena season could end Oct 12 (or later). The patch won't hit before arena ends, though it might come after.
I know MMO-Champion has been foolishly talking about it possibly coming this week, so if you read it there you have some excuse... but as an arena guy, I'd have thought you'd be better informed.

Is spellpower being removed in the patch or once cata hits? I know Int is changing to sp? Some gems are changing colours, I believe Int was changing to red. Do you know if this will be happening with the patch or in cata?
Markco said... October 1, 2010 at 10:33 AM
Indy I said if not when.
I agree they shouldn't release before an arena season ends. It's completely unfair to change the specs and talents of the players just before the arena season comes to a close.
That being said, the sooner you stockpile eternals the better you will be off, so I thought I'd tell you now rather than later.
Matt said... October 1, 2010 at 5:09 PM

NIU Radio Show: Recruiting Show
Signing Day Press Conference Quotes
Complete Signing Day Information and Release in PDF Format
With a relatively small number of scholarships to award for 2008, Kill filled his first Huskie class with athletes at every position. With an eye toward filling holes on the 2008 roster while improving NIU's overall team speed, Kill and his coaching staff scoured Chicagoland, the Midwest and beyond to sign the 13 players that make up the 2008 Northern Illinois recruiting class.
Kill was pleased with the group of players he introduced as the newest Huskies on Wednesday.
"As a staff, we feel that we were able to fill some specific needs with this class," Kill said. "We like the speed in this class and the kids we recruited are a good fit for our program. We have some playmakers, and student-athletes that really want to be here at Northern Illinois."
Northern Illinois signees include eight players who earned all-state honors during their prep careers, and speed and athleticism throughout the roster, according to Kill.
"We did put an emphasis on recruiting speed," Kill said. "We have that in this class, and even the big guys that we signed can run and are very athletic. This is an athletic class with players that will help our football program in some key areas."
Though small in number, Kill's first Huskie signing class is rich in diversity, with players at nine different positions from nine different states as well as Washington, D.C. The Huskies signed seven defensive players, including three defensive linemen, five offensive players and one "athlete" with several of the new recruits also slated to compete for punt and kickoff return duties. Despite getting a late start in filling out the class following Kill's hiring on Dec. 13, Northern Illinois inked three players from Illinois, two from Florida and one each from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Washington, D.C.
"Our emphasis on recruiting Chicagoland will not change," Kill said. "We will continue to focus our recruiting there, as well as in Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa. We've got five coaches assigned to Chicagoland, and we have spent most of our time in our short tenure here recruiting juniors as well as this year's seniors. In the meantime, we used 24 years of coaching experience and contacts in five or six other states to help us put this class together."
Two players in the 13-man class - linebacker Darnell Bolding and defensive back Kiaree (KY-Ree) Daniels - were signed after participating for one year in junior colleges in Kansas and will be sophomores for the Huskies in 2008. Bolding and freshman wide receiver Chase Mejia, an early graduate out of Rock Bridge High School in Columbia, Mo., began classes at NIU in January and will take part in spring drills beginning in March.
The Huskies lost only eight seniors off the 2007 squad, including only four who saw significant playing time for NIU last season. Kill and
his Northern Illinois team will start spring practices March 24 with the Annual Spring Game slated for April 26, 2008 at Huskie Stadium.

Following the disappointing performance of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's K. 527 Don Giovanni at the beginning of this month by the Merola Opera Program 2014 Summer Festival, there was a bit of chatter about this being the summer during which the participating trainees would learn about how to prevail over adverse conditions, particularly those brought about by poor communication with stage directors and conductors. In that context last night's Merola Grand Finale, performed on the stage of the War Memorial Opera House, was a continuation of that particular aspect of the training experience. It thus seems to be appropriate to identify a few of the participants who distinguished themselves through ways to rise above the prevailing adversity.
Most notable was Eliza Bonet, singing the title role in Jacques Offenbach's La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein in the aria "Ah! Que j'aime la militaire!" (how I love the military). Offenbach had a real knack for making fun of authority in his comic operas, and armed forces made for a favorite target. Backed up by the "army" of all the male Merolini, Bonet belted out this aria's witty lyrics with the sort of gusto that triggered memories of Ethel Merman. The music may have been little more than a ditty, but it was a ditty that totally sparkled under Bonet's uninhibited delivery.
Yujin Kim came close to capturing that same spirit in her performance of Marie, the title character of Gaetano Donizetti's La fille du régiment (the daughter of the regiment). She performed "Au bruit de la guerre" (to the noise of battle), Marie's duet with Sergeant Sulpice (Scott Russell), the most senior of the regimental "fathers," who discovered Marie as an infant and raised her collectively into young adulthood. Like Bonet, Kim bubbled like a fountain of pure energy; but that energy was dampened by Omer Ben Seadia's unimaginative staging that had her repeating the same moves too many times. Fortunately, Kim could rise above such problems with her powerful coloratura voice and her convincing chemistry with Russell.
On the more serious side the most effective scene was "Decidi il mio destin" (decide my fate), the love duet between Nedda (Maria Fasciano) and Silvio (Alexander Elliott) in the first act of Ruggero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci (clowns). Those who saw the Schwabacher Summer Concert may recall the sparks set off by Fasciano and Elliott in their flesh-and-blood account of the scene from Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly in which Cio-Cio San scorns the suit of Prince Yamadori. Last night they converted that scene of rejection into one of the uninhibited raw passion of a forbidden encounter, once again bringing lightning bolts to their performance.
Sadly, these three instances were exceptions to an otherwise disappointing evening. This was most evident in the lack of imagination behind the settings and executions of the remaining scenes on the program. However, conductor Ari Pelto offered little to improve the musical side of the situation. He began the evening with a particularly clunky account of Giuseppe Verdi's overture to his Nabucco opera. That music anticipates the opera's high point, the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves;" but buries it in a pastiche of rather weak tunes, made even weaker by Pelto's failure to endow any of them with much shape. Needless to say, this lack of musical sensitivity so evident during the overture did little to compensate for the subsequent uninspired activities taking place on stage.

Featured Works
Above the Madison is an abstract acrylic by local artist Richard Pence. Pence's use of color creates a lively atmosphere and exciting composition that is dynamic and engaging.
An exquisite pastel by Bruce Park of the Crazy Mountains in Southwestern Montana. Park manages to capture the sense of space created by the landscape while also depicting the ruggedness of the mountains. The lazy Yellowstone river winds through the fields in the foreground and quintessential puffy white clouds evoke summer sunshine and fresh mountain air.
This original watercolor by Richard Pence is full of vibrant autumn colors. The well-balanced composition creates a sense of tranquility and quiet, one that exists in many fall afternoons. The Gallatin River winds its way slowly through fields and trees and while a patch of bright blue sky keeps the landscape sunny and cheerful.
This magnificent pendant by Dave Stevenson highlights his love of the west and its natural inhabitants. The sleek sterling silver horse, inspired by a friend's Arabian horses in Colorado, is sleek, swift, and beautiful.
Juxtapose explodes with movement and energy but remains graceful and fluid at the same time. The piece by Dave Stevenson demands attention despite its conservative size. Stevenson is inspired by his outdoor pursuits and transfers this energy to his work.
Oil paint comes to life in this detailed, textured painting by Jerolyn Dirks. A lone bison dominates the soft Montana landscape in the background as well as the colorful plants and flora in the foreground. Dirks' experience in watercolor gives her oil paintings a unique feel and softness while still maintaining vibrancy.
These alluring earrings made by Sally Horner O'Neill feature exquisite diamonds, garnets, and Tahitian pearls. O'Neill's designer work is one-of-a-kind and made from high quality precious metals and stones.
Travis Andersen captures Ross Pass in the final moments of the golden late afternoon sunshine. Ross Pass lies on the east side of the Bridger Range, just outside Bozeman, and is a landmark for many who live in the Gallatin valley.
Old Juniper bursts with movement and color. Artist Jerolyn Dirks depicts a simple juniper plant with a sense of heroicness and intense emotion, transforming a humble bush into an integral part of the Montana landscape.
This exquisite vintage diamond and ruby ring from Sally Horner O'Neill is a rare reproduction of an Edwardian style ring. The 18kt yellow and white gold ring features three rose cut diamonds in the center with small rubies on the side.
This delightful pastel by Bruce Park portrays the Missouri river bathed in the pink glow of a late summer sunset. The last rays of sunshine still light the white cliffs in the background while the foreground has already succumbed to the shadows. Park captures the fleeting moments between early evening light and darkness with delicacy and elegance.

Fourth-ranked Stanford men's water polo faces a critical matchup Saturday afternoon as it visits No. 2 USC for a 2 p.m. matchup in Los Angeles.
The Cardinal (17-4, 5-1 MPSF) brings a seven-game winning streak into the weekend, and with two games remaining in the regular season can solidify a top-three seed at Nov. 29-Dec. 1's MPSF Tournament with a win Saturday. Stanford and USC have met once already this season, with the Trojans capturing an 8-7 overtime win over the Cardinal at the NorCal Invitational semifinals back on Sept. 22 in Berkeley.
Stanford is led by the scoring of sophomore driver Bret Bonanni, who paces the team with 71 goals and leads the MPSF with 3.38 goals per game. Junior utility Alex Bowen is also over the half-century mark with 53 goals while BJ Churnside (30 goals), Jackson Kimbell (24) and Forrest Watkins (24) are each over the 20-goal mark.
Freshman Drew Holland has been big in the cage for the Cardinal, allowing just 31 goals in his five games during the team's winning streak. For the year Holland ranks third in the MPSF with a 7.06 goals-against average.
Waiting for the Cardinal in Los Angeles is No. 2 USC (22-2, 4-1 MPSF), which suffered its first conference loss two weeks ago at Pacific. The Trojans bounced back from the loss with wins at California and against Pepperdine last weekend. USC is led by Kosta Genidounias (65 goals, 2.71 goals per game) and Nikola Vavic (61 goals, 2.54 goals per game) on offense while goalie James Clark is second in the MPSF with a 5.80 goals-against average. Overall, USC leads the conference in total offense (16.38 goals per game) and is second in total defense (5.58 goals allowed per game).
Saturday's contest is also Stanford's penultimate game of the regular season. The Cardinal return to Avery Aquatic Center for the finale next Saturday, Nov. 23, hosting The Big Splash against California at a time still to be determined.

Dividers & CompassesProportional Dividers
Unlike regular dividers, proportional dividers have points at both ends. A screw and nut slide along a slot within the legs to allow the instrument to be opened into an "X" shape. The user then tightens the screw at a particular proportion in order to make scale drawings, such as for engineering or architecture. Proportional dividers are especially helpful when the drafter must change between several different scales. However, for one of these objects, there was only one desirable proportion, the so-called "universal ratio" of 5.333:1. Maurice Kidjel, a Hawaiian artist and inventor, sought out and received publicity for his device in the 1960s.
"Dividers & Compasses - Proportional Dividers" showing 2 items.
Kidjel Ratio Cali-Pro Proportional Dividers
- Description
- This metal instrument has two long arms and two short arms, all colored gold and arranged as in a pantograph. Needle points are bolted to both ends of the long arms. The arms are fixed at a desired distance with a thumbscrew on a central rod. Unlike a pantograph or standard proportional dividers, the instrument is not marked so that it may be set for a variety of proportional relationships and thus be used to create scale drawings at a variety of sizes. Instead, the inventor, Honolulu portrait artist Maurice Kidjel (1888–1976), designed the instrument so that it always preserved a ratio of 5.333 : 1. To create drawings in this "universal ratio," the user set the long needles at the width of the large part of the drawing and then turned the dividers over to use the short needles to make a small part of the drawing in proportion to the large part of the drawing.
- A large white cardboard box is marked in maroon on the top and both ends: THE KIDJEL RATIO (/) CALI-PRO. According to a mark on the bottom, the box was manufactured by Christian & Co., Inc., of North Hollywood, Calif. Cardboard and yellow foam inside the box provided support and cushioning to the dividers and related documentation.
- Kidjel and his business partner, Kenneth W. K. Young, began selling this device for $25.00 around 1960. According to the advertising flyer received with the object (MA*304213.04), the dividers were used only to lay out designs in the "universal ratio." However, Kidjel also believed that this ratio was the key to solving the three classic construction problems of Greek antiquity. His solutions, constructed with a compass and straight edge, appeared in the textbook distributed with the Cali-Pro (MA*304213.03). His work depended on a false definition of pi and thus is not mathematically valid. Nonetheless, Daniel Inouye read a tribute to Kidjel's ratio system into the U.S. Congressional Record on June 3, 1960. Although Kidjel's foray into mathematical proof was not successful, the dividers were relatively popular with draftsmen in the 1960s and 1970s. Kidjel was also widely respected as an artist, and his artwork was exhibited at the Smithsonian in June 1947.

The Kidjel Ratio System Instruction Manual
- Description
- The citation information for this spiral-bound book is: Maurice Kidjel, The Kidjel Ratio System 5.333/1 (Honolulu, 1962). It was received with an example of Kidjel's Cali-Pro proportional dividers (MA*333876), and a warranty card for the Cali-Pro is inside the front cover of the book. After a biographical note, Kidjel provided supposed solutions to the three classic construction problems of Greek antiquity (trisecting the angle, squaring the circle, and doubling the cube).
- Although the Cali-Pro was not needed for these attempted solutions, in part two of the book Kidjel explained how to make these and other, more standard, solutions with the device. Next, he discussed how his ratio applied to the human body. Finally, he explained how to use the Cali-Pro in various fields of industrial design, such as architecture and publishing. A brief biography of Kidjel's business partner, Kenneth W. K. Young, is found inside the back cover. The back cover reproduces a portion of then-U.S. Representative Daniel Inouye's remarks about the Kidjel ratio system, read into the Congressional Record of the 86th Congress.

He served as musical director for Montauk Theatre Productions' Always, Patsy Cline and The Show of the Century, in which he also performed, and his original compositions have been heard in the Wynner's Circle Theatre Company productions of Genesis; Seascape with Sharks and Dancer; The Quiet Room, or What Happens When a Schizoid Ballerina Is Locked in a Room with a Duck and An Evening with Tamer & Kirsten; a musical mix of theater and cabaret, based upon his work as heard in The Quiet Room... in which Tamer was the featured artist.
2002 found him performing at the VIP Club and Casino in Moscow, Russia. In June 2001 Tamer was honored with the formation of the Official Tamer Tewfik International Fan Club, with chapters currently in the US and Canada.
Currently, Tamer travels throughout New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey, as educator or entertainer, with his trio or as a solo artist, sharing his great love of jazz at every performance.
His spouse is Kirsten Tewfik (b. 1972), a singer/actress.

It started with a simple poll question that I answered on Facebook. Unfortunately I don't recall the specific wording, but it was something along the lines of would I support the government spending at least $38,000.00 and possibly as much as $68,000.00 to erect a statue in honor of Ted Kennedy. My response, of course, was "no" (putting it mildly). I moved on, reading other news and such, but for whatever reason, that poll has become lodged in my mind. It did serve a purpose however. My mind was set in motion and I began to consider the prospects of that amount of money.
Out of curiosity, I did Google searches asking what each of those figures would buy. I learned that it can be used to enhance banking operations. Rwanda spends that amount of money on aids patients annually. I also found a yahoo poll asking if $38,000.00 million dollars would make me happy. Of course that much money sounds like a dream come true. Be that as it may, no amount of money brings happiness. I digress however.
The latter amount, according to my Google search, was a bit more obscure. You see, according to Google, the only mention of something one could buy with $68,000.00 is in relation to, you guessed it, a shrine to Ted Kennedy.
Maybe the government should explain this to the people living with aids in Rwanda.

Third party photographic lens maker Sigma has just announced its latest pair of lenses: an all-new 50mm f1.4 DG HSM Art for film/digital and an updated 18-200 f3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM superzoom for sub-frame cameras.
So, what of the new lenses?
First up: the new 50. In sharp contrast to the existing 50 f1.4, the new 50 is a completely different beast, boasting a completely different, very complex optical design, consisting of 13 elements in 8 groups. The lens can be stopped down to f16 and features a 9-bladed diaphragm with rounded blades, designed to produce smooth bokeh (out of focus blur). The lens also features low dispersion and aspherical elements.
As for more things to like, there's the HSM focus, which means fast, silent AF that can be overridden at any time without having to flip any switches. The 50 f1.4 Art is also compatible with Sigma's new USB dock (which allows one to download new firmware and tweak AF parameters, among other things) and is compatible with Sigma's new mount conversion service, too.
Next up: the 18-200 Macro. Unlike the 50 f1.4 Art, the new 18-200 is an evolutionary step from its predecessor, which was launched in 2011. The new lens utilizes an updated optical formula and is also smaller, lighter, and closer focusing than its predecessor. Additionally, the lens utilizes Sigma's thermally stable composite material for its construction, is compatible with Sigma's USM dock, and can have its mount changed, too.
Want one yet? Both new lenses will be available in Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Sigma mounts, with the 18-200 being available in all of the above and Pentax, too. Unfortunately, prices and ship dates are still TBA.

Fort Worden in Port Townsend, Washington, has had many incarnations over the years- an active military installation during two world wars, a treatment center for troubled youth, and now a vibrant Washington State Parks facility housing creative endeavors of all kinds as well exquisite guest vacation rentals.
This work is a compilation of images taken in October 2009 under the auspices of a Centrum Foundation Residency. The intent was to combine, to some extent, archival images of Fort Worden with images that spoke to this photographer of the essence of the fort and its activities today - the serene beauty, architectural grandeur and just plain whimsy that is today's Fort Worden.
I am a Northwest photographer specializing in fine art photograpy and exhibit my line of notecards and fine art prints on Vashon, in Seattle and in Port Townsend WA. As a potter, I worked as a production potter in the 70's and 80's and recently returned to ceramics. I have shown in galleries and museums in Washington and currently am represented by The Little House. As a criminal defense and civil litigation legal investigator for the past 22 years, I was the founding and former chair of the Associates Committee of the Washington Criminal Defense Lawyers and a founder of the Washington Association of Legal Investigator. I have spoken before WACDL, King County Public Defenders,Seattle University law students, the Washington Association of Legal Investigators, and the Washington State Trial Lawyers Association on investigation, death penalty mitigation/ investigation and testified as an expert on investigative procedure and taught for the University of Washington.

Liverpool Football Club have confirmed a minute's applause will be held prior to Sunday's game with Chelsea in memory of Anne Williams and those affected by the Boston Marathon attacks.
In a show of support to the people of Boston and in memory of Anne, her family have requested a minute of applause be observed before kick off.
Also, as a mark of respect, the players will wear black armbands while the Boston Strong logo will feature around the ground on the LED boards.
Anne, mother to 15-year-old Kevin - one of 96 Liverpool supporters who lost their lives at the Hillsborough disaster on April 15, 1989 - sadly passed away on Thursday morning following a six-month battle with cancer.
For more than two decades, Anne fought tirelessly to have Kevin's accidental death verdict overturned.
In December last year, despite being diagnosed with terminal cancer, Anne was present at the high court to see those accidental death verdicts quashed - and on Monday, she defied medical advice to take her place on the Kop at the Hillsborough Memorial Service.
Anne was an inspiration to many and will be a sad loss to the Liverpool family.
Also this week, the Boston Marathon was subject to attacks that resulted in innocent people losing their lives and suffering terrible injuries.
The city of Boston and its people showed our club and supporters great warmth, friendship and hospitality during our visit last July as part of our pre-season tour - and given our strong links with the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports Group, Reds' fans are asked to join in a showing of support during this difficult time.

Discussion Questions for Chapter One of Cortada
What are the salient points the author is trying to communicate here?
When European settlers arrived on the North American continent that continent was already populated by nations with their own cultures, their own knowledge set, their own narratives. On page 2 Cortada describes the coming of the Europeans as:
"What really happened was that a group of determined, literate people introduced into the wilderness of North America their Old World culture which included the use of written and published information."
In talking about the U.S. postal system on page 5 Cortada describes it as "the first American information infrastructure."
Keeping in mind the discussion by Castells of the bias toward textual communication (as opposed to oral, for example), is there a subtext here? If so, how would you describe it?
On pages 6-7 the author gives a definition of "information." How do you feel about that definition? What would you add (or delete)?
On page 14 the author points to an expansion of questions asked during the census as part of America's "exuberance regarding information." What reasons would you give for a government wanting to know more about the populace? Has that information ever been abused in American history?
On page 16 the author states that by the 1960s over 95% of the U.S. populace had telephones. Who would be likely to be in that remaining 5%? Stop and think about the consequences of not having a telephone. What would those consequences be?
On page 19 the author cites Dr. Richard Brown as saying that "uninformed citizens are dangerous and expensive" and thus compulsory education laws are justified. Would you agree? How are uninformed citizens dangerous and expensive? Do the recent events regarding the state budget here in Hawai`i reflect that view? State your reasons one way or the other.

Striker hails battling display
Campbell looks back on hard-earned point.
Fraizer Campbell says Sunderland were forced to curb their attacking instincts in order to get their season off to an unbeaten start against Arsenal.
Although the Black Cats created chances in an open first half at the Emirates Stadium, Martin O'Neill's side had to keep their discipline and concentration in order to keep the Gunners at bay as the game wore on.
In the midst of searing temperatures in North London the visitors naturally tired during the second 45 minutes, but Campbell believes the difficult conditions made their performance and result even more remarkable.
Campbell said: "You always look to the first game of the season to not lose. We got a point on the board against a tough Arsenal side and it's never easy going down to the Emirates Stadium.
"It's always warm on the first day of the season but that's the hottest I've played in. The hot conditions were crazy, so it was good to get the point.
"When you play the bigger teams sometimes you don't get the chance to show what you can do going forward.
"So you have to make sure as a team you're all solid and compact and I think we did that brilliantly on Saturday, we stuck to our guns and everyone worked really hard.
"But as I said, you want to start off well. We didn't finish too strongly at the end of last season, but it's a new season, the first full season the manager will have here.
"He's already brought in some new faces already, and hopefully we can keep up our consistency through this campaign and do really well."

Beats By Dre headphones have literally revolutionized the way we look at a pair of headphones. Headphones now are more of an accessory than a piece of technology. From the different colors, different sizes and advancements in the quality of sound, headphones especially Beats by Dre are more apart of the culture then ever in history.
Beats by Dre's newest campaign "Hear What You Want" picks athletes who are overcoming adversity in some way, and they cope is by silencing their critics by listening to their favorite song using the new Beats Studio noise cancellation headphones. Following the riveting Beats Studio commercial featuring Colin Kaepernick, Beats by Dr. Dre debuts the third installment of the HEAR WHAT YOU WANT campaign featuring Seattle Seahawks' Richard Sherman. The spot will also air during today's Seahawks vs. 49ers NFC championship game.

Chad Vaccarino of the hit duo called A Great Big World kept the secret of his Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis for years, but now he's speaking out because he changed his diet and it has helped him with his symptoms.
The singer tried out the Paleo diet to treat his MS, and he did it like a noted doctor with MS, and celebrity Jack Osbourne is doing with his low carb Paleo diet. All have said to have minimalized symptoms of their illness.
NOTE: Some doctors, as the experts in the attached video clip, say there is no evidence that changing one's diet can effectively stop Multiple Sclerosis, despite the claims from these anecdotes.
One of the biggest benefits experienced by both Osbourne and Vaccarino is the weight loss and lower cholesterol from the diet. Such a diet is also supposed to control diabetes and hormone surges and is common for some celebrities to try out lately.
Osbourne lost 70 pounds on the diet and explained his progression to Dr. Oz on the TV show. He said, "I try to look at MS as inflammation, so I try and eliminate foods that cause inflammation, like dairy, gluten and grains."
With the Paleo diet both MS celebs say they have lost weight without hunger pangs and without the blood sugar spikes that cause inflammation. Both stars heard about the Paleo diet from Dr. Terry Wahls, a professor at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, who was diagnosed with MS in 2000 and created her own Paleo diet. She says that she has controlled her MS without other traditional MS drugs.
Singer Vaccarino says he's seeing similar results and adds, "I'm sharing my story in the hopes that it might inspire you the way Dr. Wahls' story inspired me. I don't know if it will work for everyone, but it did for me and I'm grateful."
Megan Fox and Jessica Alba are on the diet. Sharon Osbourne, Jack's mother, is credited with losing 30 pounds on the diet and Tim McGraw lost 40 pounds on the diet. The diet involves healthy fats, non-starchy vegetables, animal proteins and ignores sugar, dairy, alcohol, processed foods and gluten.
See the video and slideshow of the Great Big World team.

Full-time hot tubs are a pain in the rear. For the three or four times a year you actually use the darned thing, you've got to spend ages - and plenty of cash - filling it with chemicals. Never mind the cost of the electricity to keep it hot. That's why we'll skip the permanent units and get this Spa2Go Inflatable Hot Tub ($735) instead. Pump it up, fill it with your garden hose, and it will heat the water to your preferred temperature. And yes, there are jets. As long as the squirrels in the garage don't chew a hole in it when we're not looking, we're set.

If you've got some magical trick that allows you to rise out of bed at the first chirping of alarm, please share it with us. We've had way too many frantic mornings after hitting snooze half a dozen times. We're seriously considering trying out the Tocky Touch Alarm Clock ($69) to help get our rear in gear. It's another iteration of runaway alarm clocks (like its sister product Clocky), but beyond scampering around your bedroom floor, this round little guy will play a personally recorded message or a selection of your favorite MP3s.

Thought I'd take a second and let you guys know how Slick Autoposter and Article Stalker is working. The thought of autoposting or autoblogging can seem daunting to many, but in reality all you need is a few good wordpress plugins and you'll quickly see some results.
First, Slick Autoposter is is a wordpress plugin that will autopost to your wordpress blog a variety of different ways. The reasons people use autoblogging are legion, yet the purist will call it evil while in truth it will save anyone's butt that has more than one wordpress blog. One of the biggest problems for the blog owner is keeping up with your blog posts. You really need to post at least once a day, otherwise Google will think your blog is irrelevant. When looking at autoposters you want to make sure you can randomize the posting, there are some autoposters that will post plr articles, some do datafeeds, some post rss feeds and some will post entire books. Slickautoposter does this and a whole lot more, I'd like to see you buy it for your own benefit, so go over to the salespage and take a look at all the fuctions. I can see an argument getting started here, sure, if you click on one of my affiliate links then I'll make a few bucks and that's a good thing. But, that's not why I do this, I like to help people who are looking for direction or stumbling along and one way I can do that is to expose them to what works for me and my friends. Whether you do anything with it is totally up to you. I you buy it and need help, send me an email. Contact me through this blog, I'd be glad to help!
In the graph below you can see how Slick Autoposter and Article Stalker doubled my traffic in a few short weeks. The best thing is, once I set up a autopost, I'm done and can get to work on something else. The big benefit of Article Stalker is that AS pulls articles with full text of the article and then posts the entire article. Almost all autoposters will only post a portion of the article, which becomes irritating to the reader of the blog post. I was shocked to see how Slick Autoposter using articles from Article Stalker more than doubled the traffic to my blog.
To be fair I must mention that I am also using a wordpress plugin called Auto Social Poster which I have to contribute much of the success to. I've been using Auto Social Poster for almost 2 years and although skeptical at first, I've been surprised by it's effectiveness. Often times the guru's will tell you to buy this and do that while showing you the great results they get. When truthfully, they leave out some of the details. Auto Social Poster is a powerful plugin because it will randomly submit a social bookmark to a social networking site on each post. If I go through the trouble of looking for the proper long tail keywords for a blog post, write the post and then submit it……I'll find my post on somewhere between page 1 to 5 of Google within an hour. Now if you combine the work of Auto Social Poster with Slick Autoposter and Article Stalker you'll find the results stunning. You'll pay anywhere from $300 to $400 dollars for the two plugins and one script, but you can use them on unlimited domains. These are powerful tools and I guarantee they will get you results if you use them properly. In fact, I had to pay for a seminar to find out the Auto Social Poster (ASP) was one guru's secret weapon.
The reason (ASP) is fairly secret is that people just don't want to pay for their tools and think they can get results with free tools. You can do a lot with free tools, but real money producing internet marketing tools will get you there before you get frustrated and quit. Let me give you an example. As a carpenter I can build a house with a box of nails, a hammer and hand saw…..it will take a long time! If you give me an air nailer, electric saw that same house can be framed in a couple of weeks. The same goes for making money online. Invest in some real tools and see if you don't get some real results!
My Traffic Doubled By Using Slick Autoposter and Article Stalker
As with any tool, don't abuse these tools or you'll risk getting your blog delisted. I can't say that for sure, but only assume. In other words, you wouldn't want to set Slick to start posting 5 articles a day, every day for the next 6 months. That would surely get Google alarmed. I always experiment with anything that is automated to see how its going to work and then I install the scipt or plugin on my primary blogs.
Here's a Testimonial I posted for Slick Autoposter!
I thought I'd stop by and hype you up a little
I wanted to give you a quick review of Slick Autoposter and Auto Stalker for the benefit of your customers.
Seriously, Ed's products are always top notch worth the investment. Slick Autoposter is one of my favorite tools. I have some health problems which interrupt my posting schedule on my blogs, Slick has saved my butt so many times I can't remember!
Just recently I started using another one of Ed's products, Article Stalker, and when Article Stalker is combined with Slick Autoposter you have a pretty powerful weapon. At first I wasn't sure about the articles that Article Stalker pulled and I was a little skeptical I'd get any traffic from the articles. Quite frankly, I thought that Slick would be posting articles from Article Stalker and that would keep Google happy.
Much to my surprise, I started getting daily traffic from the articles posted by Slick Autoposter. The quality of the articles is excellent and I even get people commenting on them.
Anyway, Slick is a potent weapon. Combine it with Article Stalker and you go nuclear!
I was surprised when I checked out some stats, but it looks like Slick & Article Stalker doubled my traffic….Thanks Ed
You'll see a small downturn in traffic…..that was my fault because I had the blog offline for a period of time. Otherwise as you can see, Google started sending me traffic after autoposting for a couple of weeks.
If you're interested autoblogging or autoposting watch this
video and see eactly how easy Slick Autoposter is to use!

Arizona women's basketball (4-9, 0-2) fell in a 61-59 heartbreaker to Washington State (8-6, 2-0) on Sunday afternoon in Pullman, Wash.
Senior Carissa Crutchfield led the Wildcats with 13 points, 11 in the second half. It is her fifth game this season scoring in double digits.
Freshman Breanna Workman scored 10 points for her fourth game scoring in double-digits this season.
Junior Candice Warthen and freshman LaBrittney Jones scored nine points each and the Wildcats shot 46 percent to the Cougars' 39 percent.
WSU came out strong in the first half, scoring the first four points and leading by 12 at halftime. It was all Arizona in the second half as the Wildcats outscored the Cougars, 37-27 and held them to 29 percent shooting.
"We started to get some stops," Arizona head coach Niya Butts said. "We felt better defensively because we were making shots offensively. But we didn't do enough to win the game."
UA tied the game six times in the final 11 minutes, but could never take the lead. Washington State had a two-point lead with 43 seconds remaining, but Arizona could not get a shot off and fell, 61-59.
"Down the stretch, we allowed them to get several opportunities at the basket," Butts said. "When we did that, they capitalized and that hurt us."
Sophomore Lia Galdeira led the Cougars with 16 points and senior Sage Romberg finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.
"We have to go back and get ready to play our games at home," Butts said. "These were two tough road games and our team did some really good things, but we also have some things we need to work on."
The Wildcats will open conference play on Friday, Jan. 10 versus UCLA at 8 p.m. MT. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.

The American Heart Association held one of Phildelphia's largest charity balls at the Convention Center Marriott on Saturday, March 9th. More than one thousand people attended, and along with generous corporate sponsors, managed to raise more than $500,000 for the AHA. Enchantment Under the Sea was the theme, as evidenced by the sighting of mermaids weaving in and out of the crowd. The live auction featured hot-and-heavy bidding and the auctioneer's spotters had a hard time keeping their eyes on all bidders. One item, a luxury cruise aboard a Silverseas ship contributed a sizable amount to the AHA's fund.
Over one thousand young Philadelphia area professionals stormed the annual Red Cross Red Ball, one of the year's best Young Friends parties, on March 2nd at the Union League. This fete is done on a grand scale – from the 30 or so restaurants that provide the food, to the band, CTO, an eleven member sound system. There was the usual dancing and cavorting, but with an especially keyed up level of interesting tension since about three-quarters of the guests were attractive, single and had been enjoying the open bars and Lucy's Hatshop shots.
The barefoot guy running up the stairs of the Chamounix Mansion to his bunk didn't seem to notice or care that there was a party going on to celebrate the building's 200th anniversary. The birthday took place on February 23rd. He was a guest at the Mansion – a historic hostel. It wasn't always a place for backpackers and adventurous travelers though. The Plumstead family used it as a seasonal retreat at the turn of the century (1802, that is) and from there it was used variously as another family's home, a restaurant, boarding house, clubhouse and picnic site until 1964 when a group searching for a youth hostel rescued and refurbished it.
The Delaware Riverkeeper Network's first Annual Dinner was held at the Warwick Hotel on February 21st. The small but select crowd was peppered with local and semi-local politicos, like Ed Rendell, former Congressman and area director for the Environmental Protection Agency, Pete Kostmeyer, and current New Jersey Congressman Rob Andrews. The Delaware Riverkeeper Network works closely with the American Littoral Society, a coastal conservation organization, to empower people to take active roles in protecting our waterways.
The Young Friends of the Philadelphia Museum of Art held their Annual Black-tie Gala on Saturday, February 2nd, in the grand hall at the Museum – always one of the most beautiful venues in the city. One of our favorites, The Elastic Wasteband, rocked the twenty and thirty-something crowd from start to finish. Mother Grey Goose provided miniature martinis and itsy-bitsy, pink, Cosmopolitans - both a big hit with the throngs. Museum officials swooped down on the party around eleven o'clock, cutting off the liquid supply (them's the rules) so those in the know and all who weren't quite done that early headed for the Rotunda at The Ritz on Broad Street. Cigar smoke swirled blue above our heads and champagne and cognac were passed around as the night aged gracefully.

* Sarah Specht made her official Arizona debut last week at Michigan State. She earned a 9.800 on vault.
Hey Gymcat Fans!
The season has officially started. We set off for our first meet at
Friday was meet day, but the competition didn't start until 8 pm. So as one of our rituals, we went shopping before the meet to get in some extra exercise and team bonding. Later on we prepared for the meet, which can be quite the process. For those of you who don't know, we have a tradition of having elaborate make-up and hair which is matching as a team. Finally, we were off to the competition.
Warm-ups went extremely well, and the coaches were very encouraged. We started off competing on bars. Brittney started the bar line-up with a very solid performance, doing very well under her first time at the college scene. Miranda, Karin, Beamer, and Alexis also contributed routines on bars. Finishing up the line-up with a beautiful bar routine was Aubrey. We had two exhibitions on bars: both myself and Suzanne. Overall, the bar-lineup looked decent, but we definitely have room for improvement. Many small errors were made that are definitely fixable.
Next the GymCats moved to vault. Rachelle opened on vault. One of most consistent vaulters in practice, Rachelle did a great job of starting us off. Myself, Brittney, and Aubrey also competed on vault, but Bree and Jamie Holton were definitely the most dynamic vaulters of the meet, earning a tie for first place, both earning 9.9. The vault team this year is very strong, and it's impressive that we already scored over a 49.0 in our first meet.
Then we went to floor. Another new face, Miranda opened up on floor with a very clean routine. Karin, Danielle, Aubrey, and Alexis also contributed very nice sets on the apparatus. However, once again Jamie Holton posted another high score in the meet on floor with a 9.875. To finish up floor, I was an exhibition. Overall our floor team is very consistent, and we are throwing really big gymnastics. Similar to vault, we scored over a 49.0, which speaks for itself for the talent we have on the team this year.
Finally, we finished up on beam. Brittney, Aubrey and Holton contributed solid routines to the beam total. Beamer and Miranda struggled a little, but not to worry; they are both strong beam workers and will have strong sets to contribute in the future. Danielle was the last one to finish the beam line-up with a boom. Her routine was gorgeous, and personally I think she deserved higher than a 9.825, but the score was definitely well deserved. Danielle continues to hold her streak of hitting every single beam routine of her college career! We also had two exhibitions on beam. Alexis had a very nice beam routine, and Bree had a clean routine except for one fall. Our beam team had its ups and downs in the first meet, but I have no doubt that they will pull it together for our next meet at UCLA.
I'm proud to say that we captured our first win of the season at our first competition. Right now we are ranked 8th in the nation. This team has so much potential, and I am excited to see how the rest of the season unfolds!! J
