cofounder Joel Rieken.
Iowa Powder Atomization Technologies, a start-up company based on technology developed at the Ames Laboratory, won the 2012 John Pappajohn Iowa Business Plan Competition. The competition honors top business plans of companies in business for four years or less, with an aim of stimulating business development. The prize includes $25,000 in seed money.
Iowa Powder Atomization Technologies plans to use several Ames Lab-developed technologies to make fine spherical titanium powder for use in military, biomedical and aerospace applications. Their technique will increase the efficiency of the titanium powder making process and, thus, lower the cost of the powder to manufacturers.
|Clem receives IEEE
Superconductivity Award
John R. Clem, senior physicist emeritus, Ames Laboratory and Distinguished Professor of Physics Emeritus, Iowa State University, was selected to receive the 2012 IEEE Council On Superconductivity Award for Significant and Sustained Contributions to Applied Superconductivity. The award, consisting of a plaque, a medallion made of niobium, and an honorarium, were presented at the 2012 Applied Superconductivity Conference in Portland, Ore.
Ames Laboratory physicist Ruslan Prozorov was selected as an American Physical Society Fellow. He was chosen for "high-resolution measurements of the London penetration depth of superconductors." Prozorov was nominated by the APS Division of Condensed Matter Physics.
Prozorov, who is also an associate professor of physics at Iowa State University, specializes in understanding the electromagnetic response of superconducting, magnetic, hybrid and nanosized materials at low temperatures.
Ames Laboratory recently partnered with the Iowa Waste Reduction Center at the University of Northern Iowa to improve spray paint training using a virtual engineering software toolkit. The software enhancements won a regional Federal Laboratory Consortium award for applying federally developed technology to industry needs.
VirtualPaint software, developed by the Iowa Waste Reduction Center, is a painting simulator designed to teach military personnel, commercial painters and other paint spray technicians the correct techniques for spray paint operations. Practicing paint skills in a virtual environment rather than a spray booth reduces hazardous air emissions, saves paint and reduces travel time for paint trainees.
IWRC staff sought to expand the capabilities of VirtualPaint and knew they needed a software solution that could handle the program's large data models and maintain realistic real-time virtual painting simulations. Ames Laboratory's VE-Suite, an open source virtual engineering software toolkit, fit the job.
Deb Covey (center), Ames Laboratory associate director for sponsored research administration, accepts the Federal Laboratory Consortium Midcontinent Excellence in Technology Transfer award for improvement to VirtualPaint. Susan Sprake (left), FLC Midcontinent coordinator, presents the award, joined by Karina Edmonds (right), the Department of Energy's technology transfer coordinator.
MacDonald ASME
Erin MacDonald, an affiliated researcher at the Ames Laboratory and an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Iowa State, recently received the ASME Design Automation Young Investigator Award. The award recognizes an outstanding young investigator who is making noteworthy contributions in the area of design automation, including research in design representation, design optimization, design evaluation, and/or design integration.
Thomas Barton, retired director of the Ames Laboratory and distinguished professor emeritus of chemistry at Iowa State University, has been elected president of the American Chemical Society. During his three-year succession, Barton will serve as ACS president-elect for 2013, president of the society in 2014 and immediate past-president in 2015 and will also serve on the board of directors.
Barton said his priorities will be improving elementary and secondary science education in America, boosting the public's appreciation of chemistry and addressing employment and globalization issues.

Your First OB/Gyn Appointment
Scott Partridge, MD, is an obstetrician/gynecologist on the medical staff at Banner Gateway Medical Center in Gilbert, Ariz..
Question: What typically goes on at your first ob/gyn appointment?
I am 18 years old and have just scheduled my first ob/gyn appointment. What should I expect?
Answer: During your first visit in our office, you will be interviewed by a medical assistant, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, or physician to gather as much of your medical history as possible. The medical history helps the provider understand what has been going on with your health in the past, and identify any symptoms or concerns you may have now.
You will be left in the room for a few moments to give you privacy to change into an examination gown.
Prior to beginning the exam, your health care provider will explain the process to you. Most first appointments include:
- a general physical exam, including heart, lungs and abdomen
- a breast exam
- a pelvic exam.
The pelvic exam includes a physical examination and a pap smear test. The pap smear is a way to examine cells from the cervix for the presence of infection, inflammation or other abnormalities. Both the physical exam and the pap smear are used to determine your gynecological health.
Feel free to share with your provider any questions, comments, or concerns you have. An open dialogue will help your physician determine how to most effectively care for you. Physician offices may conduct first appointments slightly differently. Be sure to check with your personal physician for more information.

Family-Friendly Benefits At Risk During Tough Times
It's tough for any worker when an employer slashes health insurance or paid time off. But for jugglers supporting families, benefits cutbacks also undermine your ability to take care of loved ones.
Although the trend has been eclipsed by other bad economic news, benefits cutbacks are trashing some parents' best-laid plans. I talked recently with one new mom who had given up her longtime plan to work part-time after maternity leave; because layoffs at her employer had wiped out flexible scheduling, she went back full-time instead. Other new mothers have been driven back to work early by employers' cuts in post-childbirth disability pay. Still others are taking second jobs to pay for health insurance.
Worries that employers will cut retirement benefits or raise health-insurance costs are haunting a lot of people in my industry and others. A Watson Wyatt survey last month found 46% of employers had either reduced their contributions to employees' health-care premiums or intend to do so soon. Nearly one in four has cut contributions to 401K plans or are planning to do so. And 41% have other program cuts in the works. As the Wall Street Journal recently reported, all this bodes continuing pain for workers.
Only a few employers are bucking the trend, by adding work-life supports to ease workers' stress, as reported in today's "Work & Family" column. For that, they're reaping vast increases in employee loyalty.
Readers, are you worried about benefits cutbacks at your company–or have you already experienced some? Or has your employer bucked the trend, by providing more benefits to help support workers during these tough times?

So you can now
waste money on purchase another mount from the blizzard store. It looks like a lion with it's head on fire… kinda.
Update: It also has a beard so I guess it's not all bad.
Looks like one of the ugliest mounts yet to me, so I bet we'll be seeing them all over Orgrimmar and Stormwind soon enough.
click "read more" for more pictures.
2 Responses to "New Winged Guardian Mount for $25"
I'm sure the only reason this mount has got this reaction is because you have to pay for it with real money which instantly makes it a "newb flag" as you have so tagged it. I'm sure if you didn't have to pay for it many players would be after it. And no, I don't have this mount.
It's so ugly Forsaken get it for free because no one else will go near them. Maybe it's just the color scheme. Maybe it's just hideous. Who's to say? It is also without context within the game so it's this *thing* just plopped in to generate cash, and it bears the scars of said birth.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

A high school teen from Norfolk, Va. pleaded guilty on May 28 to stabbing his mother and father to death back in December 2013 because he was fed up with their routine parental punishments. Vincent T. Parker, 16, was charged as an adult in those two second-degree counts of murder.
ABC News reported that after the Dec. 19, 2013 murders, the teenager told police ""I just remember getting mad. It's all from my dad. All this stuff like my dad talking away my iPod and stuff." The young man's parents were 55-year-old Wayne Parker and 57-year-old Carol Parker.
Back in December, Parker confessed to police that on the day of the murders he left school at Norview High early, while his dad was still working. The young man went to his Bland Street home in Norfolk, waited for his mother to exit the bathroom and then pepper-sprayed her. Parker told police he didn't argue with his mother before or during the attack. He stabbed his mom in the eye and then proceeded to beat her with a crowbar and then a baseball bat.
Parker told police that he continued to beat his mother "until she stopped breathing," according to WTKR. The coroner later reported that "25 separate smashes and stabs to Carol Parker's neck, face and head" were easily identifiable.
Then the 16-year-old son waited for his father to come home. After his dad got in the house, Parker went after him with a crowbar and "then stabbed him multiple times." The father survived his son's initial assault and managed to dial 911. When emergency personnel arrived on the scene, the elder Parker directed the crew upstairs to his wife – who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Five bloody knives, a baseball bat and a crowbar were recovered at the scene. Vincent's DNA was also found on the items and his father's DNA was found on the bloody shirt Vincent was wearing.
The father was transported to the hospital where he later died. The teen honor-roll student with no previous criminal history who killed his parents for what the court considered routine disciplinary actions will be back in court on September 18 for sentencing.

I have a problem that has continued for approximately three months now. I have a metallic taste in my mouth which affects the flavor of most everything I eat. Sometimes when I eat certain foods, my whole mouth burns and is sore. I do take Nexium and metoclopramide for bile and digestive problems. I have tried eliminating these but it does not seem to help at all. I also have osteoporosis and use Forteo as a daily injection. I take a calcium complex and extra vitamin D daily as well.
I am at a loss as to what could be causing this and my gastroenterologist now wants me to see an ear-nose-and-throat specialist. Do you have any suggestions?
A metallic taste in the mouth can be an early sign of vitamin D overdose. Since you don't say what dosage you take, I cannot be sure if this may be the cause of your problem. Nexium, Forteo and metoclopramide do not list this as a side effect.
Since you have osteoporosis, taking a calcium plus D supplement is recommended. You should be taking 1200-1500 mg of calcium and 400-600 IU of vitamin D daily. Vitamin D can be harmful but only when taken in extremely high amounts, usually over an extended period of time (months or even years), before symptoms are seen.
I believe your gastroenterologist's referral to an ear-nose-and-throat physician is appropriate. He or she can order testing to determine if there is some correctable abnormality causing the taste perversion.
I would also like to add that metoclopramide is listed for short-term use only in patients who do not respond to conventional GERD treatment (such as Nexium). I could not find a time-frame but this may be something to discuss with your primary care physician or gastroenterologist.
Forteo also has a restricted time-frame for usage. Because of the potential for increased risk of developing a malignant form of bone cancer, the drug has received a black box warning. It should only be used as a last resort for resistant osteoporosis or for individuals who cannot tolerate other medications such as Fosamax and Boniva. Even in this instance, it is not to be taken for more than two years because the risk of side effects increases.
If you are taking the Forteo because of adverse effects from more traditional osteoporosis medication (namely, gastrointestinal upset), I suggest your return to your primary care physician or endocrinologist and ask about the possibility of using the newest form of Boniva which is available as an IV drip. Another option may be the once yearly Reclast injection. Injectable forms of these medications reduce or eliminate the risk of stomach upset and other gastrointestinal side effects.
To give you related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports "Osteoporosis" and "Hiatal Hernia, Acid Reflux and Indigestion". Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed, stamped number 10 envelope and $2 per report to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title(s).

Anglers are reeling in some big fish at Hugh M. Gillis Public Fishing Area, including a monster 10-pound, 25-inch largemouth caught by a Warner Robins angler in April. In fact, anglers are regularly reporting big bass catches at this Laurens County PFA, so the recent implementation of a protective 16"-24" slot limit comes at a great time as it will continue to make this area a prime location for producing quality trophy largemouth bass.
"Fisheries staff completed a study indicating that a 16-24 inch protective slot limit would produce a 262 percent increase in the number of trophy bass available, with only a slight decline in the number of bass available to harvest," said Bryant Bowen, fisheries biologist with the Wildlife Resources Division. "But, this protective slot limit will only work if anglers continue to harvest fish."
Anglers at Hugh M. Gillis PFA may still harvest five bass per person (the same as before). However, only bass smaller than 16 inches or larger than 24 inches may be harvested. Bass between 16 and 24 inches must be released (anglers may not be in possession of any bass within the protective slot limit).

In addition to the now well-publicized concerns that BYOD has generated for CIO's, they will also be focusing on better security for offshoots like BYOI (Bring Your Own Identity) and BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud). IT budgets continue to be disproportionately not up to the task at hand, when it comes to the demands for greater mobile security. Getting everyone on board with proper security protocol for BYOD and cloud-based access, will be Job One for CIOs. (Source: http://www.itbusinessedge.com/slideshows/top-security-priorities-for-cios-in-2014.html)
Changes in BYOD assessment
Beyond support, interoperability, CIOs will need to address software licensing issues, in order to mitigate potential software licensing liability. Also, managing employee access to business services via their own third-party identities can incur new licensing issues. Does this add to or decrease workload, overhead, and liability/risk profile? are questions that CIOs will be addressing more.
CIOs will eliminate consumer-based file sync and share solutions in the workplace.
Consumer-grade sync and share solutions, highly popular with employees due to their familiarity, present unnecessary vulnerabilities into environments that IT departments have painstakingly worked to secure. As a result, CIOs will begin fazing them out (particularly in the case of external collaborations) and replacing them with enterprise-grade solutions that give them the control and security they need without slowing employees down.
The new balancing act: government compliance versus civil liberties
CIOs are not exempt from the ethical debate waging regarding corporate sharing of employee and customer data with government organizations. Countries are issuing laws that insist that customer data must be kept within that customer's country of residence.
On-premise email solutions
"The Cloud" was so-over hyped it couldn't help but burst and what has hit the ground in the fallout is that what goes up in the cloud, may come down in a location its originators didn't intend. For organizations with strict compliance requirements dependence on it for email has been muy malo. Study after study show that malware-invested email has been one of the most effective ways for hackers to breach a company's firewall. For this reason CIOs are moving to a safer option and opting for on-premise email solutions (Source: http://www.winmagic.com/products/full-disk-encryption-for-windows).

Bonnie nd the Bang Bang are a little obsessed with honing their darkness. Notice I didn't say 'too' obsessed.
The Oakland act cracks the skull open with a brooding, heavy-sway of a track, that signifies a sea change for BBB. Their essence remains the same, spilling forth, daring listeners to sink on in.
The track itself smacks of 90s, rainy-day, Brit-pop - drawing on the gloom of Oasis, swirling with the atmosphere of a Catherine Wheel or a Ride. Regardless, things are unmistably BBB.
Lead singer, Patrick James Stiles comment's on the band's sonic evolution. "I think 'Every New Love" is a big step up for us. We are much more comfortably in our own skin than we were last time around."
Hear the new Bonnie ad the Bang Bang track, via bandcamp.

Within the next four weeks, well before the end of the year, the "fiscal cliff" deal is going to be reached to great fanfare and celebration. Boehner has already stated that Republican opposition to tax increases on the wealthy is dead. Once this deal is announced, the Dow, S & P, and Nasdaq are going to push up hundreds of points in the days following and into the end of the year. This deal is coming down the pipeline, choose to ignore it if you wish......the American people have spoken that they want this accomplished and it will be.
Strong companies like Starbucks will be up 10% from where they are now by the end of the year. That return in one month + is pretty darn compelling to me, and I am all in the market with strong companies like Starbucks. Now, come January, reality will settle in and we may retreat somewhat, but if you want 10% return almost guaranteed (there are no 100% guarantees) then you should be buying this market ASAP.
Refer back to this post at the end of the year. Being short ANYTHING other than junk like Groupon right now is not smart.
tell me something I don't know.
Wow, you are impressively fussy. I'm guessing your an old guy who hasn't had your cup of coffee yet today?

Product Type: Lesson Plan/Activity
Audience: Educators, Informal Education
Grade Levels: 2-4
Publication Year: 2002
Product Number: EG-2002-06-105-HQ
Subjects: History, Physical Science
Airplanes with conventional wings use ailerons to control roll (left and right motion), a rudder to control yaw (left or right movement of the nose), and elevators to control pitch (up and down movement of the nose). Airplanes with delta- or triangular-shaped wings have a rudder, but only one control surface, an elevon to control pitch and roll. An elevon serves the same function as an elevator and an aileron. This activity challenges students to control the flight path of a delta wing glider and to explore the effects of changing the positions of the elevons on a model glider. Students use science process skills to construct and fly a glider made from a foam food tray.

Update from Oracle OpenWorld 2008
By Harold Green on Sep 24, 2008
Ever year I marvel at the sheer number of people that attend Oracle OpenWorld and their level of enthusiasm for Oracle and its products (Oracle does put on a great show).
We have a great setup for certification – forty-six testing stations in our testing center. Our OCP lounge has twenty-two workstations, access to free Self Test Software practice exams, and plenty of snacks and beverages.
Additionally, we are doing something really fun this year. We are doing some on-camera interviews with folks regarding their careers and experience with Oracle certification. It's been very insightful already and we've only just started. After the conference we plan to post some of the highlights on our website and/or in this blog.
The highlight for me at OOW every year is talking to people and hearing their questions and comments. I always come away with new ideas and a greater appreciation for the hard work that people put into getting certified and building their careers.
We look forward to meeting you personally if you're here – please stop by and see us at Moscone South 250/252.

Gay marriage: What's next for Utah?
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake residents Derek Kitchen and Moudi Sbiety want to get married, but not in California or Iowa or one of the other 10 states that allow gay marriage.
"We don't plan to get married in any other state but Utah," Sbiety said. "We don't want to live in any other state. Our friends are here. Our families are here. Utah is home and we can't see ourselves living anywhere else."
Sbiety, 25, and Kitchen, 24, own a successful business making Lebanese hummus sold in stores and at farmers markets across the valley. Together for four years, the couple want to buy a house.
"We just want to settle down and grow and build our own lives," Sbiety said. "That is very hard to do in Utah — legally, not socially."
Two momentous U.S. Supreme Court decisions last week on the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8 bring the gay marriage issue to the forefront in states that only recognize marriage as the legal union of a man and a woman.
In Utah, it will play out in federal court where Sbiety and Kitchen are plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit challenging a Utah voter-approved constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. But state lawmakers might have some decisions ahead of them, while advocates and opponents of same-sex marriage promise to make their voices heard.
While the courts seem to hold the trump card, University of Utah political science professor Matthew Burbank said there's no "slam dunk path" to changing a state's same-sex marriage ban.
"I think it's very unclear as to what those outcomes are going to be at this point," he said. "I just don't see that there's a direct path that says, 'Oh, yes, the next decision is going to be that same-sex marriages are constitutionally protected and they have to apply in all states.'"
Burbank said he anticipates a range of lower court decisions — some upholding state bans, others challenging them — and that the issue will end up at the U.S. Supreme Court again in a few years.
Poll results
In a poll released Friday of local political insiders, the online newsletter Utah Policy asked whether Utah would ever reverse the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Only 13 percent of Republicans see a reversal in the next decade or longer, compared to 39 percent of Democrats, most of whom see it taking less than 10 years. Both Republican and Democratic insiders largely agree it would take a lawsuit, though 35 percent of Republicans and 8 percent of Democrats say Utah will never change the law.
The Most Rev. John C. Wester, bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City, said the judicial system or government really can't adjudicate or legislate what marriage is.
"Marriage is something, in our belief system, that is divinely given to us by God. It's found in sacred scripture. It's found in natural law," he said, days after the Supreme Court issued its decisions.
Bishop Wester said he doesn't know what recourse there is to preserve traditional marriage other than to continue to engage public conversation and debate to "make our case."
"I think it's going to be a very difficult road ahead for those who would see marriage as between one man and one woman," he said, noting momentum is with those who favor same-sex marriage.
"If states continue to go the way they've been going, Utah would be one of the last — if not the last state — that would go that way. I think if it were up to the electorate in Utah, it would not go that way," Bishop Wester said.

I really wish (sounds weird, I know...) that I was teaching during the Summer Olympics as there are so many great teaching opportunities that can cover so many subject areas and grade levels.
Here are a few fun suggestions for those of you teaching this summer (or even for those of you who are back to school in August)
- Follow an athlete from your hometown, state or province. See what kind of background information you can find on them and then track their progress at the Games.
- Create a new Olympic sport and test out the activity with your classmates / students.
- Keep track of the medal count and work out the percentage of gold, silver and bronze that your country wins. Create a poster to track the medal count.
- Have students "adopt" an athlete from another country - find out their story and a little bit about their country and then share with the class.
- "Adopt" another country to cheer for and find out as much as you can about their athletes.
- Make a medal count prediction and award the person who came closest.
- Research London, England and find out what they did to prepare for the Games.
- Research the history of the Olympics and have students present some of the main ideas to the class.
- Have your own Olympic games - but keep it light and fun and combine athletic events with math and literacy events.
- I'm sure that there are 100s more engaging activities that you can do to highlight the Olympics. Share your favorite below!
Hope you're all having a fantastic summer! Let the Games begin!

Plant type
Hardy perennial
Flower colour
Skill level
Monkshood are tall, stately plants with densely filled spires of large hooded flowers, azure-blue in the variety 'Arendsii'. From a distance they are easily mistaken for delphiniums, except that they flower several months later and are perfectly timed to fill the seasonal slump after the main bulk of summer perennials are over. Monkshood teams well with Japanese anemones to give the border a new lease of life well into autumn. Plants thrive in most garden soils and enjoy the light shade at the back of well filled borders. All parts of the plant are highly poisonous.
Family: Ranunculaceae
Genus: Aconitum
Species: carmichaelii
Cultivar: Arendsii
Plant type: Hardy perennial
Flower colour: Blue
Foliage colour: Mid-green
Feature: Flowers
Sun exposure: Full sun, Partial shade
Soil: Well-drained/light, Clay/heavy, Moist
Hardiness: Hardy
Skill level: Beginner
Height: 180cm
Spread: 40cm
Time to plant seeds: March to April
Time to divide plants: October to February
I have one of these plants for the first time, so it was nice to know the conditions that it will like, I hope it is hardy as I love the colour . don't mind if it's poisonous I haven't any small children to worry about, if I had I would remove it and pass it on to some one else.

AP: Alabama's employment continues to decline.
Today the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its report on the unemployment rates in each state. Alabama's unemployment rate in January was 11.1 percent, up from 10.5 percent in December and up from 8.1 percent from a year ago. In comparison, the U.S. unemployment rate was 9.7 percent, down from 10 percent in December.
Employment increased in 31 states and the District of Columbia, while employment decreased in 18 states. Alabama was one of the hardest-hit states.
Alabama lost the fourth highest number of jobs in January, at a 3 percent loss. Only Kentucky, Missouri, and Nevada lost more jobs than Alabama, with 5 percent job losses. These states continue to lose jobs in real estate, manufacturing, and banking.
North Dakota has consistently enjoyed the lowest unemployment rate, and the latest figures are no different. North Dakota's January unemployment rate was 4.2 percent. Nebraska and South Dakota also experienced low unemployment rates, at 4.6 and 4.8 percent, respectively.
On the other hand, Michigan has consistenly experienced the highest unemployment rate, and the latest figures are no different. Michigan's January unemployment rate was at 14.3 percent, which, although still quite high, is a vast improvement over the 15.5 rate the state had experienced over the previous two months. Nevada had the second highest unemployment, at 13 percent.
Although the unemployment rate remains high, there is some hope on the horizon. The most recent report from the Bureau of Economic Analysis indicates that GDP is growing at a healthy 5.9 percent. A growing economy will eventually require more workers to support the higher level of output, which is good news for job seekers.

UCLA-Florida Box Score
UCLA-Oklahoma Box Score
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. - Behind a gutty performance by senior Donna Kerr, who struck out seven in five shutout innings, the second-ranked Bruins knocked off #6 Oklahoma 3-0 in their second game on Friday at the Cathedral City Classic. UCLA dropped its first contest of the day to #4 Florida 4-1.
In the nightcap, freshmen Alyssa Tiumalu and Kellie Fox each had two hits and scored a run. Kerr (5-0) struck out a pair in the first, second and fourth, allowing only two hits and two walks in her first game back since suffering a leg injury last weekend. Freshman Jessica Hall earned her first career save, fanning three and giving up two hits.
Kerr got out of a big jam in the top of the first. With Jessica Shults at third, Brittany Williams at second and Haley Nix at first, Kerr fanned Keilani Ricketts looking to keep the Sooners (11-5) off the board.
The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fourth, when the Bruins scored three times. Junior Andrea Harrison led off with a walk and moved to second on a single to right by Fox. With Sydney Leroux, a member of the UCLA women's soccer team, running for Harrison at second after making her debut versus Florida, both her and Fox moved up a base when Tiumalu reached on a bunt single that deadened perfectly up the first-base line. Hall then tapped a ball to second, which allowed Leroux to score to make it 1-0.
The Bruins loaded the bases again after a walk to sophomore Devon Lindvall and freshman Talee Snow got an RBI the hard way, getting hit to force in Fox to make it 2-0. Junior Katie Schroeder followed with a single through the right side to plate Tiumalu for the Bruins' third run.
Kerr and Hall took care of the rest, allowing only two runners to get to second after the first inning, as the Bruins improved to 11-2 on the season.
In game one, Hall was masterful in the circle, but the Gators (13-0) rallied for four runs in the sixth to remain undefeated.
The Bruins (10-2) got on the board in the bottom of the second when Tiumalu hit a 1-2 pitch out to left for her first collegiate home run to make it 1-0.
Hall retired 10 in a row at one point, giving up just a single and a walk through the first five innings. But in the sixth, Florida started the inning with a single to left by Cheyenne Coyle, who moved to second when Kasey Fagan reached on a sacrifice attempt that Hall couldn't handle. Michelle Moultrie followed with a double to left-center to plate both runners to make it 2-1. Another double by Aja Paculba made it 3-1, and after a wild pitch moved her to third, a single up the middle by Kelsey Bruder gave the Gators their fourth run.
The Bruins were able to get only one runner to second during the game. Tiumalu had two of UCLA's five hits. Hall (6-2) struck out a career-best eight and gave up three earned runs, six hits and one walk in a complete-game effort.
UCLA continues play at the Cathedral City Classic against #8/#10 Tennessee on Saturday at 3 p.m. Gametracker and free live audio will be available at UCLABruins.com.

ADT stands behind their home alarm monitoring in DE with a belief that comes from over a century of protecting households nationwide. For this reason, your ADT Monitored Home Security System is backed by a Theft Protection Guarantee. But if your Delaware house is burglarized while your alarm is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of the insurance deductible.
If you've ever returned from your relaxing vacation to find that your Delaware house has been burglarized, then you know how all of that comfort and relaxation can quickly disintegrate into confusion, anxiety, and feelings of vulnerability. Be it a family heirloom handed down from generation to generation, or a cutting edge home entertainment system, it's never a good feeling to find that your valuables have now ended up in the hands of robbers. An ADT Monitored Home Security System in DE can give you the peace of mind in knowing that you'll return from your trips with your possessions intact.
You may think that you simply can't afford a professional-level home alarm system in Delaware, but the reality is that you simply can't afford NOT to have one. With an ADT Monitored Home Security System, you are getting both a price that will allow you to afford the things you want, and an advanced level of security that will help protect those belongings.
ADT's security experts can act immediately to send the closest DE law enforcement officers to your home. At the same time, an ADT security professional will attempt to contact you through various means, such as a direct voice intercom link, to help assess the situation and take the most appropriate measures in making sure that your family in Delaware remain safe. Also, since ADT Monitored Home Security Systems in Delaware can connect with ADT's monitoring services via a dedicated cellular connection, you don't have to worry about crafty home invaders cutting your phone lines. No other home security company in Delaware can offer the level of protection that is possible by having an ADT Monitored Home Security System.

Between a viewing public furious with its network and the need to avoid angering defiant corporate management, it was a tough day to be part of the Morning Joe crew.

The University of West Georgia (UWG) is one of 10 metro Atlanta institutions which will be able to help give a deserving student a leg up on tuition this fall thanks to the SunTrust Scholars Program.
SunTrust Foundation officials announced a second round of funding in the amount of $47,500 to the University System of Georgia Foundation to benefit the year-old SunTrust Scholars program at 10 metro Atlanta University System of Georgia (USG) institutions.
"The SunTrust Foundation is pleased to again provide this grant award to benefit Georgia's students and the institutions they will be attending," said E. Jenner Wood III, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunTrust Banks Atlanta. "We know that public higher education is the cornerstone to creating an educated workforce and encourage other corporate foundations to join the SunTrust Foundation in supporting this important work."
Managed by the University System of Georgia Foundation, the funding will enable 10 deserving students to attend one of the following USG institutions in the metro Atlanta area: Atlanta Metropolitan College, Clayton State University, Gainesville State College, Georgia Gwinnett College, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Perimeter College, Georgia State University, Kennesaw State University, Southern Polytechnic State University or University of West Georgia.
"I am grateful to SunTrust for taking a leadership role by establishing and supporting the SunTrust Scholars program," Chancellor Hank Huckaby said. "With corporate partners like SunTrust, some excellent and deserving students will receive needed financial assistance to complete their college education."
In 2004, the USG Foundation developed a strategic plan to provide support for the University System goals and mission. It set a high priority on securing funding for and providing scholarships to deserving students, based on merit and/or financial need. Since that time, more than $2 million has been awarded to students at all 35 colleges and universities in the University System.
In 2011, the SunTrust Scholars grant was the first awarded directly to the USG Foundation to provide scholarships for students attending multiple USG institutions. "The USG Foundation is truly grateful to the SunTrust Foundation for taking the lead in providing scholarships to multiple campuses," said Chairman Ken Bernard. "We encourage other corporate funders to join the SunTrust Foundation in this significant endeavor."
The SunTrust Scholars are selected by the institution, with the scholarship funds available to begin in the fall semester 2012. The selected students receive full tuition plus a stipend to cover a portion of additional expenses such as books and fees. UWG is selecting its Fall 2012 SunTrust Scholar.
"We are very grateful to the SunTrust Foundation and the SunTrust Scholars Program for this scholarship," said Dr. Beheruz N. Sethna, President of UWG. "We commend the leadership at SunTrust for their vision and commitment to the future of the State."

Review: Press Open or to One Side? (133)
Welcome back to Vals Quilting, today I want to talk about pressing seams open or to one side.
I was taught to press seams to one side generally to the dark and to nest the seams when connecting blocks together, this seems to be the proper way or the way most quilters sew.
A year or so ago I was reading about quilters starting to press seams open, then I was struggling with a complicated block and my friend Beth said to press my seams open and boy did that ever make a difference. Less bulk, it lays so much flatter especially when you have multiple pieces.
I also had the privilege recently to take a lecture or two and a workshop by Fun Quilts, Bill Kerr and they press their seams open and always have. They do this to relieve bulk. If they have no concerns about pressing their seams open and commissioning their quilts in upwards of $5000K they must be onto something....
There was some debate recently at a quilt guild meeting regarding this. One lady mentioned that pressing the seams open may make the seam vulnerable, another person agreed but if you think about it, Seamstresses and Sewers press their seams open all of the time to relieve bulk. Some sewers will finish their seams in "french" style or zigzag over the seam allowances to ensure they are secure or even use a serger so the seam allowance doesn't become frayed. You likely wouldn't use a serger when quilting because this will definitely add bulk to the seam and plus you will be quilting through all 3 layers to finish the quilt and secure the blocks in place at the end.
I was taught to sew pressing the seams open, thanks Susan.
I was taught to press my seams to one side when quilting, thanks to all of you quilting experts and teachers out there :)
I've decided to press seams open and or to press in the direction that will make my block sit flat and to reduce bulk, if that means to press to one side, I will do that, if that means to press the seam open, I will do that.
Since I've started teaching with Chinook Learning Services, I've decided to teach my students to press their seams open, so far :)
What do you do? Press Open or to one side and Why?
Until next time, have a happy and creative day!

Available Entry Level Oil Field Jobs In Texas
Even with proper training, people with no direct experience in oil field operations may not easily get hired. It is important to get a foot in the door, so they say. In this regard, trying out as a helper or apprentice is a good idea. This will give you the required on site experience for higher positions. This will also build your employment network as you will be dealing with people who are already in the industry.
An entry level position in the oil industry, that requires no relevant experience, can pay as much as $100 a day. That's about $2,100 in a month. This is a lucrative endeavor considering that you are acquiring important experience in the process.
It can be safely concluded then, that people claiming to have a job shortage in the country, is either not willing or not able to take available jobs or the person just have no idea where to look for work. The oil field industry is for people who are prepared to endure extended work hours and hard labor.
Skill Requirement Of Oil Field Jobs In Texas
Skills required vary but the standard is basic knowledge of math and science. This is because most tasks involve some computation and practical application of scientific principles. Helpers are actually technicians in waiting. After having enough experience, they can be promoted from within the company they are working for or look for better employment opportunities from other firms. For vacuum drivers, having a Commercial Driver's License is necessary. Furthermore, Hazmat License is required if the work involves handling and transportation of dangerous chemicals and waste by-products.
The primary benefit of working in the oil field is good compensation and job stability. Since oil firms are aware of the physical and mental demands of working on site, they make sure to compensate their workers accordingly. Another reason for giving attractive compensation packages is to manage employee turnover. It is only reasonable to want to keep am employee after providing training. Business analysis has proven that keeping an employee is more cost-effective than training new ones.
The primary challenge of working in the oil industry is the long hours. This usually gets in the way of family life. A person may also be forced to work away from their family if the oil field is situated far from the employee's residence.
All jobs offer challenges, it is up to the employee to manage available resources to work his way around the issues. Once thing is certain, oil field jobs in Texas will continue to provide opportunities for those who are willing to take it.

Lightweight contender Rolando "EL POCHITO" Reyes made his first Houston visit a memorable one as he spent part of Thursday night assuring former world champion Juan "THE BABY BULL" Diaz that he is "more than ready" to return for a summer showdown.
Reyes was taking in the TKO BOXING Promotions event this past Thursday night at the Arena Theatre when Juan and he were called into the squared circle by ring announcer Thomas Treiber.
Said Reyes, "I told him that I heard he's looking for someone to fight and I'm that guy. I respect what he's accomplished but I feel that I'm ready for him. If he wants we can fight here in Houston where he lives."
Reyes is coming of an outstanding fifth round stoppage of former world champion Julio Diaz on April 4th in Austin, Texas, a bout broadcast on HBO Pay-Per-View. The knockout of Julio Diaz advanced Reyes' winning streak to five, including a stoppage of former world champion Stevie Johnston on October 10, 2007.
With a record of 31-4-2 with 20 KO's, the 30 year old Oxnard, California resident is currently world ranked #7 by the IBF, #12 by the WBC and #9 by ESPN.
Said Chet Koerner, President of TKO BOXING Promotions, "Rolando's stoppage of Julio Diaz showed that he is ready and willing to become a major player in the deep lightweight division. Juan is a terrific boxer with great accomplishments but we feel the time is right for Rolando."
Formed in early 2008, Chet Koerner's Las Vegas based TKO BOXING Promotions, originator of the "HOMETOWN HEROES TO WORLD CHAMPIONS" national boxing series, stable includes; heavyweight Lenroy Thomas, super middleweight Joey Gilbert, middleweights Elvin Ayala, Albert Onolunose and James Countryman, junior middleweights Bastie Samir and Anthony Thompson, welterweights Juan Buendia and Raul Tovar, junior welterweights Jonathan Gover, Francisco Contreras and Hastings Bwayla, lightweights Rolando Reyes and Terence Crawford, featherweights Matt Remillard, Carney Bowman, Delvin Plascencia, Rafael Lora and Maxwell Awaku, super bantamweights Rafael Valenzuela and Carlos Reyes.
