DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU Mustangs jumped out to a 2-0 lead over No. 19 Columbia, but the Lions were able to answer with four singles victories to defeat the Mustangs, 4-3, at the Bent Tree Country Club on Tuesday afternoon.
SMU (9-8) won the doubles point with wins at No. 2 and No. 3. Arturs Kazijevs and Tony Russell teamed up for an 8-0 win at No. 3 doubles over Dragos Ignat and Richard Pham. Nate Lammons and Alex Sanders continued their strong doubles efforts with a solid 8-5 win at No. 2 to seal the first point of the match for the Mustangs. Arkidjas Slobodkins and Mischa Nowicki were able keep the 12th-ranked doubles pair of Ashok Narayana and Max Schnur off the scoreboard in No. 1 doubles.
Mischa Nowicki took the first singles point for SMU, winning at No. 2 over Ignat; 6-3, 6-2. No. 14 Winston Lin won for Columbia (12-1) at No. 1 singles, and the Lions took the next three singles matches at positions 4-6 to clinch the match victory.
Sanders was able to get a three-set victory at No. 3 singles over Narayana; 4-6, 7-6, 10-6; to collect his team-leading 10th win during the dual match season. Sanders and Lammons are now 7-4 this spring and 17-7 overall in doubles.
Mustangs head coach Carl Neufeld was proud of the effort his team gave, especially with how they won convincingly in doubles and with the squad's two seniors winning at two of the top three singles spots.
"I'm excited that we played our best doubles of the year," SMU head coach Carl Neufeld said. "We played exceptionally well in doubles. Our seniors are leading the way for us; we just need the rest of the guys to step it up a bit. Columbia is the 19th-ranked team in the nation for a reason, they are very good. It's tough to have not been able to pull it out, but this shows where we can be. We're on the right path and I'm excited about that."
SMU has another tough test coming up, as the Mustangs travel to Waco, Texas, to face fifth-ranked Baylor on Saturday.
"We play top teams so our guys can measure themselves and learn what it takes to compete at that level," Neufeld said. "We look forward to the challenge against Baylor."

El apartamento es perfecto, el mejor en el que he estado. Excelente ubicación, pegado a la Royal Mile. Muy espacioso, incluso más de lo que parece en las fotos. Está perfectamente equipado, con todo lo que se pueda necesitar.
Karin es una excelente anfitriona, muy atenta y detallista: botella de vino, dulces, flores frescas...
Lo recomendaría sin dudarlo y será mi primera opción cuando vuelva a Edimburgo.
Thank you Martin for your kindness and for the apartment which is really comfortable, very well located and well equipped! Thank you again and hope to use your services again in the future
Stayed here for the second time and felt like home! Great location, absolutely recommend staying here!
For several days in May, my friend and I had a very comfortable stay here in Edinburgh's Old City. This well-maintained apartment had all of my favorite amenities and was ideally located for excursions to Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat, and whisky tastings. Even before we arrived, the nice man who owns this snug little place (which was surprisingly quiet), kindly made sure that we had milk for our tea. Two other advantages are these: if you are not dragging excessive luggage, you can walk here easily from the train station, and the bus to the airport (cheap!) stops about a block from Bull's Close.
Good appartment, clean and close to center.
No problem check in and out.
Owner mailed us the keys and when leaving we dropped them trough the letterbox.
Hi Martin
The flaw is lovely and we have had a great time in it. The location is perfect to spend some days in Edinburgh.
Thanks a lot for everything
all went fine, got the keys in time, apartment was nice and clean. the address is very much in center of edinburgh. a lot of nice places are in walking distance!
Very cosy, clean and well equipped apartment in the heart of Edinburgh. Nice kitchen, good shower and great location. The apartment is exactly as you can see on the photos! We stayed in King Stables as a family with 3 generations and everybody had a great time! Very friendly and good service of Vacation Rentals Schotland.
Absolutely loved it here! Beautiful view, clean and spacious apartment. We just booked our second stay for March. Why change a winning team? And this accomodation is a winner for sure!
Very nice appartment very well located in the center of Edinburgh. Ideal to visit Old Town and, of course, the castle.
To be noted: 4th floor with no lift - a bit noisy (noise from traffic in the street + from the pub especially on Saturday nights!)

Yuma Desert Rats Are Proud to Announce Their Manager and Coach
MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Dec. 13, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Embark Holdings, Inc. (OTC Markets:GFMD), the parent company to American West Baseball League (a Professional Minor Baseball League), is pleased to announce the Yuma Desert Rats new Manager and Coach.
The Yuma Desert Rats have named Hal Lanier to be their team manager. Hal is no stranger to professional baseball. He first made it to the Major Leagues in 1964 with the San Francisco Giants where he was an infielder until 1971. He played for the New York Yankees in 1971 and 1972. From 1976-1980 he was a minor league manager with the St. Louis Cardinals. While managing in the minor leagues, Hal was named the Sporting News Manager of the Year in 1977, 1978 and 1980. His teams also were the Western Carolina League Champions in 1977, Florida State League Champions in 1978 and American Association League Champions in 1980. After 1980, he was promoted to the St. Louis Cardinals big league club where he was the third base coach from 1981-1985 and won the World Series in 1982. From 1986-1988 Hal was the Major League manager of the Houston Astros and in 1986 was named the Major League Manager of the Year as well as being named Manager of the Year by the Associated Press, UPI, Sporting News and the Baseball Writers Association of America. From 1990-1991 Hal served as the Bench Coach for the Philadelphia Phillies big league club.
After a stint away from the field, Hal returned to professional baseball and began his independent managing career. From 1996-2005 he managed the Winnipeg Goldeyes of the Northern League where he took his team to the Northern League Championship series five times. In 2006 and 2007 he was the manager of the Joliet Jackhammers of the Northern League. In 2008 and 2009 Hal was the manager of the Sussex Skyhawks in the CAN/AM League winning the league championship in 2008 and was also named Manager of the Year. In 2010 and 2011 Hal moved to the Frontier League where he was the first ever manager of the Normal Cornbelters.
The Yuma Desert Rats are extremely proud and excited to have named Hal Lanier as their first ever manager. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with our organization. He is a great person with tremendous integrity who is looking forward to the opportunity to become involved and become a part of the Yuma community.
The Desert Rats also agreed to terms with Hitting/Infield coach Jake Thrower. Jake, who is Yuma born and bred, attended the University of Arizona and then signed a professional baseball contract with the San Diego Padres. He played professional baseball for nine seasons, seven at the A-AA level with the Padres, Montreal Expos, Anaheim Angels and Cleveland Indians. Over his career he played in 759 games, had 2,679 at-bats, had 741 hits, 174 doubles, 35 home runs, 318 RBI's and batting .277 while playing 2B, SS and 3rd base. Jake brings a lot to the table. Not only does he have a lot of professional experience to share with the Desert Rats but he is a local Yuma product and we are proud to have him on board.
On December 12, 2012, the Yuma Desert Rats agreed to terms with LHP James Kuzniak who is from Yuma. Kuzniak is currently a middle school physical education teacher and an assistant baseball coach at Gila Ridge High School in Yuma. On December 2, 2012, the Yuma Desert Rats signed their first three players to contracts: RHP James Bierlein, LHP Zack Williams and OF/LHP Aaron Gates at the first ever American West Baseball League Tryouts in Tucson, Arizona.
Yuma Desert Rats logo has been designed, approved and will be unveiled soon. Along with the release of the logo, the team's website is currently under development and will be launched shortly.
About American West Baseball League (AWBL)
American West Baseball League was formed in 2012 and will play its inaugural season in 2013. The league was founded by Michael Cummings, after acquiring 2 teams which played in another league that ceased operations 30 days after the acquisitions.
Cummings, a Southern California native, decided to create a new league that would support the team members and their organizations, provide an opportunity that ball players would be looked at by scouts and other leagues, all the while providing Fun Friendly, Family Entertainment. AWBL will operate in cities not served by Major or Minor League Baseball teams and is an Independent Minor Baseball League. Though not part of the official minor league system, its level of play is considered to be comparable to A-AA level.

The objective of this symposium at the First International Congress of Respiratory Biology (ICRB) was to
enhance communication between comparative biologists and cancer researchers working on O2 sensing via the HIF
pathway. Representatives from both camps came together on August 13–16, 2006, in Bonn, Germany, to discuss
molecular adaptations that occur after cells have been challenged by a reduced (hypoxia) or completely absent (anoxia)
supply of oxygen. This brief ''critters-to-cancer'' survey discusses current projects and new directions aimed at improving
understanding of hypoxic signaling and developing therapeutic interventions.

Russian President Vladmir Putin signed into law a bill forbidding gay propaganda this past June, causing global uproar and uneasy feelings toward the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, as reported by The Huffington Post.
This law disallows any Russian citizen or foreigner to equate heterosexual and homosexual relationships and also disallows promotion of any pro-gay material. Russian lawmakers have also proposed stripping custody rights of gay parents, according to The Huffington Post.
In this day and age, it is very surprising to see Russia, a powerful political and international force, make backward strides in such a current and relevant global issue. Many have even compared this bigotry to that of the Nazi regime during World War II and the 1936 Summer Olympics, according to The New York Times.
However, a major part of the uproar was not of those questioning the morality of such a law, but the apprehension connected to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi. According to the International Olympic Committee codes, it is strictly illegal to discriminate against certain types of people, such as those with different ethnicities, religious affiliations and even sexual orientations.
The Olympic Games are an influential and global event during which people of all corners of the globe come together in peaceful competition. However, this abhorrent prejudice is sure to cause unwanted hysteria.Nonetheless, The Huffington Post reported that Russia has made it apparent that the law will not influence the games and has pleaded to stop the unnecessary speculations. But it is not so easy to merely overlook this issue, especially since President Obama has been advocating for LGBT rights.
With Obama in the heart of Russia at St. Petersburg for the G20 summit, Obama made a point to meet with Russian civil society leaders, including LGBT activists, before boarding the plane back to Washington, D.C.
Obama's opinion of Putin's decision was voiced during "The Tonight Show."
"I have no patience for countries that try to treat gays or lesbians or transgendered persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them … Nobody is more offended than me by some of the anti-gay and lesbian legislation that you've been seeing in Russia."
Looking into the future, if the No Gay Propaganda law toes the line during the Games, there will be a public outcry difficult to ignore. With Obama, other political forces and global citizens expressing their strong opinions against the law, it would be wise for Putin to reconsider this decision before being pushed into a corner and forced to take action.

Visa Signature Perks
Sonoma County Vintners offers Visa Signature cardholders year-round exclusive benefits at over 60 wineries. More...
October 11, 2011 – Santa Rosa, CA: Sonoma County Vintners, the premier marketing organization for Sonoma County's wine and wineries, will be issuing a series of monthly updates on the 2011 harvest season from the perspectives of wineries in each of Sonoma County's largest regions.
After last week's rains, we wanted to check with winemakers and their vineyard teams to get a sense of how and if their grapes were impacted.
In the Sonoma Valley, Chateau St. Jean winemaker Margo Van Staaveren felt confident that the Bordeaux red varietal grapes would easily weather the moderately heavy rains, she had concerns for the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
To minimize losses and maintain quality, Van Staaveren's team "worked all weekend long to bring in those vineyards particularly susceptible."
In the Russian River Valley, Rodney Strong Vineyards Director of Winegrowing Douglas McIlroy shared the following report:
"Fortunately the majority of our vineyards that are significantly susceptible to rain were picked prior to the storms, and the portions that were not will be picked will be very shortly, i.e. Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandel. We were able to achieve this with the cooperation of our growers and our experienced winemaking and winegrowing team, who stayed ahead of the game scheduling our picks. We feel that this preparation and timing will result in little or no impact on quality from the rain for us with varieties this harvest."
"While we still have most of our Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon to go as the weather clears, these rain tolerant varieties will be our next focus. We want to ensure that these varietals fully express themselves, which what wine lovers expect from Sonoma County. By continuing to carefully harvest our Cabernet, Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties at their optimum ripeness, the rest of harvest should turn out well. Of course we will continue to keep a watchful on the weather ahead and enjoy any warm days we get."
In the Dry Creek Valley, Quivira Vineyards & Winery Winemaker Hugh Chappelle had the following comments relating to last week's rains:
"While weather conditions throughout the growing season have defined the character of the vintage, the recent and current rains remain a challenge for all wineries both large and small. At Quivira, we do not currently have any concerns about the dilution of aromas and flavors resulting from the late-season rainfall, but we're working extremely diligently in both the vineyards and the winery to sort out even smallest amounts of botrytis and late season rot that already existed in the vineyards due to this year's unseasonably cool weather conditions, but have accelerated with the wet conditions."
"At Quivira, we have the ability to slow down and do the rigorous sorting in both the vineyard and the winery necessary to remove any clusters affected by botrytis and rot. We've also been sorting out any raisined clusters that resulted from the pre-rain, late-season heat spike, which particularly affected the Zinfandel."
In Alexander Valley, Jordan Vineyard & Winery Winemaker Rob Davis commented:
"Our chardonnay and most of our Merlot slid into our presses and tanks just before the initial drops of rain began -- and I mean just before! It was a real race to beat the weather, and we actually had to cover our Merlot with tarps in the event of an early sprinkle which we got. It was a huge relief as our next opportunity for us to pick chardonnay would have been after the rain and would require at least a few good days of sunshine to dry out the vineyard. The growers we work with already had sprayed a preventative botrytis agent in case the fragile Chardonnay did not get harvested before the rain. The good thing is that the total precipitation is not extensive so that re-entry into the vineyards was quick.
Regarding Cabernet, I think our wines are better when we get one quick sprinkling of rain before we pick it. The variety wears well with a rain or two as long as it is not prolonged. The Cabernet skins are thick-- likened to a natural "rain coat". And the clusters themselves are loose and open to air circulation which inhibits the potential for bunch rot. Next week the forecast is for temperature in the mid 80s to 90s. One week of that and we are back in business."
Nick Frey, President of the Sonoma County Winegrape Commission, shared the following general update on the 2011 Sonoma County grape harvest:
"Growers have passed the half-way mark in harvest. Pinot Noir was 90+% harvested before the rain. Just a few vineyards in the coolest regions remain. Chardonnay in warmer areas, e.g. Alexander Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley, are mostly harvested. Harvest continues in cooler regions of the county. Most of the Zinfandel is harvested and all the Sauvignon Blanc is in. Bordeaux varieties have just begun with Merlot leading the way.
Overall yields are down due to spring weather. The cool summer has resulted in good acid retention and low pH and slow maturation for flavor development. Expect wines with good structure that pair well with food and with lower alcohols."
Sonoma County Vintners will be posting all regional harvest-related news on their website, www.sonomawine.com, and will issue monthly updates throughout the harvest season.

The small hamlet of Sockbridge lies about three miles southwest of my home town in the UK. It doesn't have a shop, or a church. Or a pub. But it does have a trout farm, and it is also home to a small publishing house that specializes in recording changes in English-language usage in modern times. It does so via the medium of its little-known English-language dictionary, the latest edition of which I've been assured will be published soon.
"We've set as a tentative date for publication the 29th of February in the next year that ends with a double zero," said managing editor Pete Bogge.
Meanwhile, I've been given exclusive access (i.e., a press release) to new definitions of old words that will appear in the new dictionary. Here are some examples:
abandon live entertainment.
accompany affirm.
address female adder.
adultery what grown-ups get up to when they think nobody's watching.
baccarat support a rodent.
becalm do not panic.
behalf accept a partner.
capsize cranial capacity.
conscience creationism.
contemplate blueprint for successful fraud.
deliberate imprison.
excrement opposite of increment.
express retired journalist.
furbelow pubic hair.
hospice equine urine.
hundred morbid fear of horsemen from the east.
impale beer drunk by pixies.
incite visible.
inquest search for overnight accommodation.
noble short and to the point.
pecan type of crude urinal.
penitent cheap item of camping equipment.
plaintiff routine argument.
prelate early.
propagate entrance that is fit for purpose.
seedy obsolescent format for recorded music.
shampoo fake shit.
stairwell look closely.
suppress initiate litigation against a newspaper.
worships scrap metal.
The editors can also confirm the following:
An island is land; and
The Holy Land is wholly land.
"We're accepting advance orders now," said sales director Bill Borde.

If I could have a Raven Phantom in less than a month I would probably buy it regardless that the price is higher than the others. I just cannot wait around since there are other companies that look to make similar holsters for a few $ less and a lot less waiting time.
So who does make the best alternative in terms of quality, fit and finish, warranty, comfort, price, lead time.
There just so many out there its hard to get a true favorite.

"I chose to work with Bates Cosgrave when I first moved to Sydney in 2002 and needed assistance with the structure of a marketing agreement between my Australian company and an off shore company.
Bates Cosgrave provided tax advice on getting my Australian company paid for services offered to an off shore company. As the business grew, shareholders in the off shore company decided to move the whole company into Australia.
The tax implications of the re-structure were complex and Bates Cosgrave certainly saved us money in the long-term by delivering good advice on how best to proceed with registering a new company. As a small business operator, we have found the services of Bates Cosgrave to be invaluable, particularly in terms of the international tax expertise that they have been able to offer us."

7 Ideas for the Perfect White Bedroom
From Dean Dowd on April 26, 2010 in General Remodel
Not all pallid bedrooms are created equal. Color has a subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) way of completely altering a bedroom. Check out these bright white beauties, all designed by homeowners with similar tastes for shopping from Craigslist, eBay, yard sales, antique malls, and my personal favorite: garbage piles on the night before trash pick-up.
#1 - Freshly Painted
Renovating their old-yet-new-to-them bedroom, Layla and Kevin Palmer are thrilled when friends now use the word pretty to describe their choice of neutral tones and restoration work. The couple combined cottage and country with a nautical touch.
#2 - Simple and Sunny
Katin and Brandons best home advice is, Prioritize making your bedroom just how you like it peaceful, clean and beautiful. They wanted the warm sunlight that floods into their bedroom and across the original 1850 wide-planked pine floors as the focus, so theyve chosen simplicity for the walls and furniture, right down to basic bed linens.
#3 - Chameleon Colors
Nataniëls bedroom is unadorned and stripped down to the designer essentials. When entertaining, the singer, author and entrepreneur decorates with colorful rugs, cushions, bed linens and other accessories that he keeps neatly packed away in white cabinets. But when its time to focus, everything goes back into the storerooms so my brain can work again.
#4 - White: A Distance Away
The first time Arthur set foot inside his Chicago bedroom was after he had already purchased it online. He also chose from a distance the gorgeous Benjamin Moore white flat paint. It makes for a great urban-chic look. For a bit of color, the eastern wall is painted in a chocolate-y flat night horizon. Custom wool drapes add intrigue as well.
#5 - Blue Pops in
Haldane Martin's white nest was a challenge. Decorating your own space as a furniture designer can be a real curse; the search for perfection is endless, he told Apartment Therapy. Having purchased the home in a dilapidated state, he painted the whole interior white, including damaged floors, to create a clean canvas with which to work. He then chose walls to add primary color.
#6 - Canvas for Life
Yoko and Matthew wanted to turn their home into a blank canvas for their lives. They chose a ramshackle house with no walls, no floors and no electricity, but hey, they liked its feel. The bedrooms white fireplace, white bedding and white drapes from Pottery Barn Teen (who knew there was such a shopping experience?) have made the space livable and them some, really more of a sweet sanctuary.
#7 - Beyond White
Becke and Lee moved from the city to an acre in the country for relaxation, gardening and creativity, and they havent stopped renovating since. But it looks like theyve made progress artistically in this white space-gone-bold.

Important examples of prehistoric rock art
The paintings are some 14,000 years old and have the World Heritage designation.
The cave has an irregular shape and is some 270 metres in length. It has an entrance hall, main gallery and side hall, and contains some of the world's finest examples of prehistoric rock art. The drawings are some 14,000 years old and show bison, deer, boar, horses… They are painted using natural, red-coloured ochre and outlined in black. To ensure their conservation, the cave structure and paintings have been painstakingly reproduced, using the same painting techniques, in the Altamira Museum's Neo-cave. Visitors can marvel at the details of the great ceiling with its polychrome bison, and visit the painters' workshop, where they can hear an explanation of the techniques used to create this masterpiece of rock art.

I don't quite get what the big negative hoopla is about Lana Del Rey. She's manufactured? Yes, but few major label artists aren't. You felt hoodwinked into believing she was a raw talent sculpted on the lonely indie road when she actually had Interscope and a millionaire Dad in her corner? That's your bad for not doing your homework. Don't like her years-delayed hipster references or that box-o-melancholy strings she lugs from song to song? I guess you're entitled, but is it that serious?Listening to Born to Die won't harm the cockles in your ears or turn you into a pillar of salt. Given, there are some issues with this album, mainly the formulaic construction that withers on the vine as the album progresses. There's is also a chasm between the emotion produced by the song construction and the lyrics sitting on top of that track that stirs you, but since when has reading pop lyrics rivaled a Bronte novel? There's lots of booze and sad-hot-floozey-resigned-to-bad-relationships-with-junkies bemoaning here, but at least her man doesn't smoke crack, because crack is wack, but I digress.
Del Rays' melancholia is most easily espoused through her fragile, bottomed-out purr. There are trips to the other side of the note spectrum as well as some rappity-rap going on here, but Lana seems more comfortable wallowing in her low end theory. It gives a bit of smoky weight to her sound, at least at the beginning.
The first five songs on this album are beautifully worked; overflowing with elements sure to make this a dark room special. But you know that already. You have already heard the slow, gloomy march of "Video Game" and the dusty, thumped out spaghetti western feel of "Blue Jeans." "Off to the Races," easily Born To Die's best song, manages a wonderful meeting of Del Ray's optimistic strings and melancholy guitar. Regardless of how much you detest this girl's image, you can't deny the last minute or so of this song. It's sonic breadth is absolutely gorgeous.
The previously heard songs lead the LP and create great expectation for the unheard half and unfortunately, Born to Die doesn't deliver on that promise. That doesn't make Del Ray a fraud though; it just makes her the owner of a mediocre album.
"Carmen" is a stomach-churning story about a young woman who walks the mean streets of New York handing out free blow jobs for no real reason except, I guess, she wants to. She's an alcoholic, but that's no excuse for being a bucket. The same dramatic elements are present, but this song suffers from lack of focus and serious construction issues. By the time you get to the lazy drag of "Summertime Sadness," you realize the producers spent the second half of the album borrowing from the first half with way worse results. Making copies of copies never produces anything remotely as clear as the original. You also wish this girl would perk the hell up.
"Without You" turns the tide a bit with an enjoyable, skeletal, fuzzed-out synthesized clap punctuated by those ever present strings. Rey sings about money, fame and the right man by her side, but somehow still manages to make this sound depressing. "Lolita" starts Hitchcokian (or maybe Kubrickian) in its string fueled drama, but overlays the albums most puerile lyrics over top.
Kiss me in the d.a.r.k dark tonight
D.a.r.k do it my way
Kiss me in the p.a.r.k. park tonight
P.a.r.k. do it my way
Hey Lolita hey
The closer, "Lucky Ones," features crashing waves of percussion mixed with low register strings. It would be a great close if this isnt the sound we had been listening to for the entirety of the album. Instead, it's a snooze of a song appended at the end of more succesful attempts.
Born to Die is not horrible, it's just weighted heavily at the front. Lana Del Ray has an interesting, throaty delivery that works well with her disgraced debutante brand of relationship gloom and doom. Maybe if she stopped dating drug addicts and guys that just want to bang her, she might see some light at the end of that tunnel of hers.
The production is ambitious and when it works it really works. When it doesn't though, it really doesn't. So get this girl a Zoloft and and drop that one trick production pony. Even considering the lackluster second half, Born To Die proves with a bit of tweeking and creativity, Lana Del Rey can stand firmly in the flood of pop queens that currently inhabit music. Even if she is contrived. Most of popular music these days is no different.

No. 15 Lady Raiders Earn Highest Ranking In Program History
Todd Petty had guided Texas Tech to its highest ranking in school history.
April 2, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - When head coach Todd Petty took over the Texas Tech women's tennis program during the 2008-09 season, the Lady Raiders entered the season ranked No. 74 nationally.
On Tuesday, Texas Tech (14-4, 4-0 Big 12) reached new heights, as the Lady Raiders jumped to No. 15 in this week's Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Top 75 poll.
During Petty's tenure as head coach, the Lady Raiders have played in 116 matches, earning a national ranking in 94 of those matches, including being ranked inside the Top 25 for 33 consecutive matches heading into Saturday's Big 12 Conference showdown in Austin with Texas. The winner will be in the driver's seat for the league title.
Petty is currently in his fifth season at the helm of the program and has compiled a 72-44 record, including a 33-10 mark over the past two seasons. Over the last two seasons, Texas Tech has gone 7-7 against ITA Top 30 teams.

The Boston Globe published a little excerpt of New York Daily News columnist Gary Myers' new book "Coaching Confidential: Inside the Fraternity of NFL Coaches".
The excerpt deals with the writer's conversation with Patriots owner Bob Kraft about Bill Belichick and the infamous 'Spygate' saga.
Apparently, Kraft confronted Belichick about the scandal, asking him "How much did this help us on a scale of 1 to 100?"
"One," was Belichick's answer.
"Then you're a real schmuck," Kraft said, according to Myers. As much as we respect and admire coach Belichick here at 60 Max, he surely walked into that one.
Also in the book, Kraft explains what we already knew, that taping signals was widely used and known around the league, and relays the story about how Herm Edwards and assistant Donnie Henderson waved to their cameras when Herm was head coach of the New York Jets..
Regarding the whistle blower that blew the scandal wide open? Kraft asked, "How much of a surprise was it to Eric Mangini and GM Mike Tannenbaum?"
"You know how many teams steal signals? That's bupkis . . . We kicked [the Jets] off our roof (in 2006)."

One of the stranger arguments known to man has resulted in two men being hospitalized after one grabbed a sword to battle his girlfriend's estranged husband. As Click2Houston reported on March 2, 2014, the fight in Katy, Texas, actually had the man grab his Master Sword replica from the classic Nintendo game, "The Legend of Zelda."
Yes, this really happened.
"Swords and flower pots, it sounds nuts, he is psycho," said Eugene Thompson, the homeowner's boyfriend.
Reports state that Thompson lives in a home with his girlfriend, and they ended up getting into a verbal argument on Saturday evening. She called her estranged husband during the fuss and he arrived at their home around 10:00 p.m.
SEE: Man wakes up in body bag: Walter Williams wakes up at funeral home
Thompson's girlfriend, who was not identified, let her husband into the home so Thompson advised him to leave. The estranged husband charged at him, and that caused Thompson to grab his replica Master Sword to protect himself.
"I heard him heading to the bedroom where I was, so I jumped in the closet and I grabbed one of my replica swords, and I pulled it out and stood at the doorway, and he was coming down the hallway at me while I was yelling, 'Go away, you don't live here' and he just walked right into the point of the sword, I don't know if he thought it was a toy," said Thompson.
That's when the fight really got strange.
Thompson was able to get the husband out of the house and lock the door, but the man charged back through it and they fought. During the fight over the Master Sword, the estranged husband was stabbed once in the leg and once in the chest.
SEE: McDonald's napkin lawsuit: Man suing McDonald's for only giving one napkin
It was then that the man grabbed a flower pot and smashed it over the head of Thompson. For those not aware, the main character Link in "The Legend of Zelda" smashes flower pots in the game to find hidden items.
As Harris County Deputies arrived on the scene, the estranged husband was taken to the hospital in serious condition. Thompson was taken to another hospital to get a wound on his head stitched up. The girlfriend/wife was not injured in the fight.
Thompson, needless to say, is confused.
"I am just trying to figure out what to do from here, I have to find a new place to live," said Thompson.

Carnival of souls
* Caprica, the Battlestar Galactica prequel series, has been greenlit. Meanwhile, the Cylon prequel TV movie Edward James Olmos is directing will be called Battlestar Galactica: The Plan and will air after the main series is over. I suppose it's about time to start getting excited about Lost and BSG coming back, huh? (Via AICN.)
* My pal Kiel Phegley presents a lengthy and impassioned list of reasons he loved Batman #681. Sample:
3. Morrison's Batman is the killer B Side to All-Star Superman.* Tom Spurgeon reviews Lilli Carré's The Lagoon, which sounds just up my alley.
Simply put, if Morrison and Frank Quitely's All-Star Superman is "Hey Jude" – the soft, wholesome crowd pleaser that plays through the expected notes of the genre to perfection – then Morrison's Batman run is "Revolution" – the wild, jagged face melter that mixes the genre's raw essentials up to remind you that the artists started on the fringe of things and will always live there to some extent. Beyond the obvious "reinforce the core of the character by making them repeatedly fight twisted versions of themselves" motif that runs through both, Morrison delivers in each series an epic story that conforms to the core of what is appealing and essential in each property that still entertains after 70 years by embracing the style of each character within his scripts. All-Star spun the science fiction slice of altruistic Americana take on Superman to perfection by bolstering the insanity of the Silver Age with scripting style that focused on the big, boy scoutish, heart-wrenching images. "R.I.P." and its predecessors similarly shined up the improbably unkillable gothic detective myth that is Batman through a careful balance of horrific villainy, baffling detective story plotting and oddly endearing childhood trauma. As fucked up as these issues of Batman have been, when all the trades are in hand, I'm positive you'll be able to hand them to a person and say, "THIS is what Batman's all about" in the same way people have been doing with All-Star.
* Meanwhile, part one of Spurge's year in review interview with the Daily Cross Hatch's Brian Heater makes for grim reading. (Via Heidi MacDonald.)
* My pal TJ Dietsch reviews several horror movies, including Midnight Meat Train--the most positive take from someone of my acquaintance I've come across so far.
* Maybe it's just that between my recent re-read of World War Z, that real-world plagues piece I did for Marvel's The Stand, and my Twilight-derived hankering to re-read 'Salem's Lot, I'm in the mood for a good viral-infection flick, but this Scottish not-zombie horror flick The Dead Outside seems promising to me. (Via Dread Central.)
* This shot from Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is breathtaking for several reasons, ranging from the most earthy and obvious to the eventually revealed real reason we got this shot in the first place. It's an establishing shot, you see. (Via Stacie Ponder.)
* Alvin Buenaventura went to see Liquid Liquid play a week or two ago, and here's some footage of the band doing "Cavern" at the concert. Someone needs to explain to me what karma lottery Richard McGuire had to win in a past life to be the guy responsible for both "Here" and the bassline from "White Lines" in this one.
* And now, the story of John Belushi's phone conversation with Ian MacKaye regarding the possibility of him dancing onstage during Fear's Saturday Night Live appearance. Man, was that a fun sentence to write. (Via Ryan Catbird of the new group blog MBV.)
* Finally, feels good man. (Via Jog.)


text: Given a set of n independent logical variables X1,X2,...,Xn, each of which may be either TRUE or FALSE, let xj = P{Xj} denote the probability that Xj is TRUE. Consequently 1 - xj is the probability that Xj is FALSE. Now consider some arbitrary Boolean function F(X1,X2,..,Xn) of these n logical vairables. Thus for any specified truth values of the n variables the function f is assigned a particular value, either TRUE or FALSE. In his "Investigation of the Laws of Thought" George Boole described (Chapter V, Prop II) how the probability f of the function F can be expanded into its mutually exclusive components. This expansion is just an application of the conditional probability formula for an arbitrary event E and logical variable X P{E} = P{E|X} P{X} + P{E|X'} P{X'} where X' denotes "not X", and the vertical line "|" signifies "given". Applying this repeatedly to the event F and the logical variables Xj gives the expansion formula f(X1,X2,..,Xn) 1 1 1 / n \ = SUM SUM ... SUM ( f(i1,i2,..,in) PROD[(1-ij)xj + ij(1-xj)] ) i1=0 i2=0 in=0 \ j=1 / where the indices ij, j=1,2,..,n signify truth values (0=FALSE,1=TRUE). Also, recall that f is the probability of F being TRUE. For example, we can expand the function F in terms of two independent logical variables X and Y, whose probabilities of being TRUE are x and y respectively, as follows f(X,Y) = f(0,0) [1-x][1-y] + f(0,1) [1-x][y] + f(1,0) [x][1-y] + f(1,1) [x][y] It's interesting that the general formula for Boolean decomposition of probabilities in terms of n independent variables is identical to the formula for n-dimensional orthogonal linear interpolation. Suppose we have an orthogonal n-dimensional table that specifies the value of a scalar field f(x1,x2,..,xn) at discrete points. To interpolate the value of f at some specific point in this n-dimensional space using linear interpolation, we need to first find the particular "cell" of the table where the point falls. Once we have done this, we can normalize the spatial coordinates along each axis such that the next lower table ordinate is 0 and the next higher table ordinate is 1. Then the values of f(i1,i2,..,in) in the above general formula for the Boolean expansion represent the discrete table values at the 2^n vertices of the relevant "cell" of the table, and the values of xj for j=1 to n are the spatial coordinates of the particular point inside the cell that is to be interpolated. The correspondence between interpolation in a Euclidean space and the expansion of the probabilities of logical functions suggests some interesting approaches to dealing with more challenging situations in which the logical variables are NOT independent. We can express these in terms of the non-independence of a putative set of "basis vectors" for the space. However, it's important to keep in mind that the general locus given by n-dimensional linear interpolation actually possesses intrinsic curvature, and isn't linear with respect to arbitrary independent basis vectors. For a discussion of this intrinsic curvature, see Curvature of Linear Interpolation.

Forget all of the mainstream conspiracy theories.
It's completely irrelevant whether The Rockefellers, Rothschilds, illuminati, Masons, Knights Templar or Zionists are secretly manipulating all evil in the world.
Whether real or imagined they can do nothing without the eager complicity of governments.
So concentrate on the real, completely known and openly admitted conspiracy: Government.
Government is a conspiracy by a small cadre of ruling class psychopaths to manipulate as many people as possible for the benefit of their own lust for power, wealth and ego gratification.
The creators of governments, like the creators of all criminal organizations, claim a monopoly of power over a geographical area and the people who live within it and plunder them.
The days of simply enslaving their own populations or conquering their neighbors is mostly over. The ruling class finds it much more expedient to toss as many people as possible a few crumbs of "benefits" as they rob them blind. When people think they're benefitting more by accepting the goodies stolen from others than what is stolen from them they essentially enslave themselves.
The biggest enablers of the ruling class are the masses of second tier wannabe rulers eager to ingratiate themselves with their masters by manufacturing endless rationalizations, evasions and justifications for everyone else. They concoct mind-controlling fictions like "social justice" and "the public good" and "rule by the people" and "protect the public from the depredations of the free market" to get the slaves to convince themselves that they "need" governments.
Thus everyone who receives the crumbs of plunder from the ruling class becomes obedient to that class; cops, military, civil servants, public school teachers, politicians, corporate workers – virtually everyone.
For the sake of a paycheck cops will mindlessly enforce unjust and unconstitutional laws; soldiers will ruthlessly shoot anyone, including their fellow citizens; civil servants will blindly shuffle paper for no useful real-world purpose; public school teachers will ignorantly channel the propaganda they learned in their teachers schools – all because they're told to.
They will all do it for absolutely the worst possible reasons of all, because "I'm just doing my job" and "I'm just following orders," the very defenses Nazi war criminals offered at the Nuremberg Trials following World War II.
The worst of them were told their excuses were unacceptable and then executed.
What will your excuse be for rejecting libertarianism and living your life as a ruling class tool?

Former Morgan Stanley Exec Pleads Guilty To Evading FCPA Controls
A former Morgan Stanley executive pleaded guilty Wednesday to evading controls required by U.S. foreign bribery law.
Garth Peterson, a former managing director in Morgan Stanley's real estate investment and advisory business who lives in Singapore, pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court to a one-count criminal information charging him with conspiring to evade internal accounting controls Morgan Stanley is required to maintain under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
"As a managing director for Morgan Stanley, he had an obligation to adhere to the company's internal controls; instead, he lied and cheated his way to personal profit," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, in a statement. " Because of his corrupt conduct, he now faces the prospect of prison time."
Peterson allegedly acquired millions in real estate investments for himself and a Chinese official from 2004 to 2007 in exchange for business the official, a former chairman of a Chinese state-owned entity, provided to Morgan Stanley's funds. He knowingly represented falsely to others in Morgan Stanley who was purchasing the real estate, Peterson admitted in his plea.
Court records say Morgan Stanley trained Peterson on the FCPA seven times, and reminded him to comply with the law at least 35 times. Morgan Stanley fired him in 2008 because of his FCPA misconduct.
Given Morgan Stanley's internal controls system and the facts of the case, the Justice Department said it declined to bring a case against it, saying the company voluntarily disclosed and cooperated throughout.
Peterson faces a maximum of five years in prison; sentencing is scheduled for July 17. He also settled Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, agreeing to a permanent ban from the securities industry and to pay more than $250,000 in disgorgement.
Under the SEC settlement, Peterson agreed to relinquish Shanghai real estate, valued currently at about $3.4 million, that he secretly acquired in the scheme.
A Morgan Stanley spokesman, speaking to Dow Jones Newswires, noted that neither the Justice Department nor the SEC charged Morgan Stanley, which has not been accused of wrongdoing in the matter.
"We cooperated fully with the government, and we are very satisfied with this outcome," the spokesman said.
Abigail Rosen, a lawyer for Peterson, did not return a request for comment.

Schooling, Interrupted.
Abstract: The article reports on English language learners who have had their schooling experience interrupted or never had formal education to begin with. U.S. schools are challenged with a large number of student enrollments with limited English proficiency. Sometimes teenage student immigrants without formal education arrive and are difficult to place academically. Bicultural transience is a phenomena where students move back and forth between the U.S. and their homeland. Suggestions and methods are made to assist these students with interrupted formal education for success in U.S. schools and in U.S. communities.
