According to TMZ on Thursday, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie finally got married secretly last weekend. After being together for many years and six kids later, they said, "I do" in a small private ceremony at Chateau Miraval, which they own in France. The A-list stars got engaged in April 2012, and now two years later, they are officially husband and wife.
A spokesman for the couple said the private, nondenominational civil ceremony was attended by family and friends. All six kids took part in the wedding. Jolie was walked down the aisle by her oldest sons Pax and Maddox, while Zahara and Vivienne were flower girls, and Shiloh and Knox served as ring bearers. Pitt and Jolie exchanged rings designed by her jewelry design partner Robert Procop and obtained a marriage license from a California judge. That was the same judge they flew to France to conduct their wedding in France. Pitt was seen on Thursday promoting his next movie and wearing a wedding band.
People magazine reminds us that the two have being talking about getting married since 2006. They said they wouldn't get married until "everyone else in the country" had the right to get married. They had also said the children were talking them into getting married so they could have a big party.
The power couple met in 2005 while on set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" where they got married in the film. This is the third marriage for Jolie, 39, who was previously married to actor Jonny Lee Miller and actor Billy Bob Thornton. This is the second marriage for Pitt, 50, who was married to actress Jennifer Aniston when he met Jolie.

Herbie Hancock (with Corinne Bailey Rae): River
Herbie Hancock (piano) and Corinne Bailey Rae (vocals)
River: The Joni Letters (Verve 10063)
Herbie Hancock (piano), Corinne Bailey Rae (vocals), Dave Holland (bass), Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Wayne Shorter (soprano sax).
Composed by Joni Mitchell.
Recorded: New York and Hollywood, except for Corinne Bailey Rae's vocal, which was recorded in Yorkshire, England, no dates given (CD released in 2007)
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
I love jazz and I love Joni . . . but I get nervous when they are mixed together. Joni Mitchell's idiosyncratic delivery is already so jazzy, that it is hard enough just singing it straight. Trying to jazz up these songs further is like adding more cayenne pepper to grandma's prizewinning chili. As I have always said, nobody sings Joni better than the diva herself. But Corinne Bailey Rae makes me reconsider. This is the best version of "River" I've heard since that rude classmate drew a mustache on the cover of my Blue LP back in the Nixon era. Rae sings with sweet, almost girlish forthrightness, and just the right touch of melancholy. Hancock, Shorter, Holland and Colaiuta provide thoughtful accompaniment (albeit in a different studio on another continent) for a richly layered performance in which every phrase and micro-rhythm is perfectly placed.

Wildcats at the Trojan Invite ?-This weekend will be the first time in five years that the diving team has competed at the Trojan Invitational. The last appearance in 2000 was a successful one, as former U of A diving standouts placed in the top-three in every event. Omar Ojeda placed first on both the 1 and 3-meter events and Lindsay Berryman placed third in the 1-meter. In the Platform competition, both the men and women's teams took the top-two places.
Arizona in the Rankings - According to the latest College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) poll, the Wildcats are currently ranked in the top-six for the second consecutive year. Though both teams finished third at the 2005 NCAA championships, and upset several top-ranked teams, the men post a No. 5 ranking behind Michigan while the women's team is ranked sixth behind No. 5 California.
Arizona's last time in the water ?- The Arizona men's and women's swimming and diving teams began their 2005-06 dual-meet season with a pair of victories over Wisconsin and Penn State.

On the men's side, senior John Collier won both the 1-meter and 3-meter events. He scored 334.40 points on the 1-meter and 257.22 points in the 3-meter. Junior Patrick Sullivan finished second in the 1-meter (253.00), while sophomore Jeff Hagedon was third (223.45).
Swimming - Starting things out for the women was the 400 medley relay team of seniors Jenna Gresdal, Erin Sieper, Lisa Pursley and sophomore Lacey Nymeyer who won the race in a time of 3:44.56.
Nymeyer won three individual events, including the 50 freestyle (23.39), 500 freestyle (4:54.63) and the 200 freestyle (1:49.79) while junior Whitney Myers finished second in the 200 freestyle (1:50.42). In the 100 backstroke, Gresdal took first place (55.40).
Sieper also took an individual victory as she won the 100 breaststroke in a time of 1:03.46, while sophomore Jacquelyn Craft finished third (1:04.05). Gresdal finished first in the 100 freestyle (50.89) and freshman Lindsey Kelly made her debut as a Wildcat finishing third in the race (52.52).
Pursley finished first in the 100 butterfly (55.68), while Myers finished third in the 400 IM (4:23.15). For the final event of the evening, the 200 free relay team of Gresdal, Kelly, Pursley and Hackett took first place with a time of 1:33.11.
For the men's team, the 400 medley relay team composed of sophomores Albert Subirats and Ivan Barnes, junior Adam Ritter and freshman Matt Barnard posted the first win for the Wildcats with a time of 3:25.07. Sophomore Matt Biel finished first in the 1000 freestyle with a time of 9:28.98, while freshman David Pursley finished second (9:35.35).
Jonas Persson came in second in the 200 freestyle (1:42.27) and in the 100 backstroke, three Arizona swimmers dominated the top-three positions. Senior Simon Burnett finished first in the race (49.16), while Ritter finished second (52.03) and junior Nate Rothman was third.
Three Wildcats took the top-three places again in the 100 breaststroke, as Barnes was first (55.89), senior Dave Rollins was second (57.70) and freshman Josh Arreguin finished third (58.40).
Senior Lyndon Ferns finished first in the 50 freestyle (21.01), while freshman Matt Barnard was third. Senior Tyler DeBerry finished second in the 200 butterfly, while Ritter, Subirats and Persson finished in the top-three of the 100 freestyle.

For the final race, the 200 free relay team of Burnett, Barnard, Barnes and Ferns won with a time of 1:22.90.
Arizona's Next Action ?- The swimming and diving teams will join up again on Nov. 18 and 19, at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center for their first Pac-10 competition of the season. Both teams will take on the USC Trojans at 2 p.m. on Friday. For Saturday's competition, the women will compete against UCLA, while the men match up against UC Santa Barbara at 12 p.m.

Individual parachutes could be provided for the crew, weight 6 kg each. This would evidently be considered as the back-up on L1 and LOK flights where the capsule had a side hatch and no reserve parachute.

Like other topical corticosteroids, halobetasol propionate has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions. The mechanism of the anti- inflammatory activity of the topical corticosteroids, in general, is unclear However, corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocorins It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor arachidonic acid Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2.
The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle and the integrity of the epidermal barrier Occlusive dressings with hydrocortisone for up to 24 hours have not bean demonstrated to increase penetration; however, occlusion of hydrocortisone for 96 hours markedly enhances penetration. Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin may increase percutaneous absorption.
Human and animal studies indicate that less than 6% of the applied dose of halobetasol propionate enters the circulation within 96 hours following topical administration of the ointment.
Studies performed with Halobetasol Propionate Ointment indicate that it is in the super-high range of potency as compared with other topical corticosteroids.

Luke Kuechly is one of the most instinctive linebackers I've ever seen. Everytime you turned on Boston College the last three years it seemed like he was making every tackle. A safety in high school, Kuechly immediately bulked up and moved to MLB for Boston College. Kuechly is a perfect fit as a MLB in any 4-3 scheme but he also has the frame to bulk up and play either spot inside in a 3-4. His instincts also allow him to succeed in coverage which makes him a fit on the weakside in a 4-3 as well. He has athletic limitations and there are questions whether he would be able to keep his marginal speed if he did add weight so I feel his best fit would be inside in a 4-3. A team like the Eagles would be the perfect fit for him as they had very poor linebacker play last year and he's a great fit for their defense. The Giants and Lions are two other teams with linebacker needs that would be great fits.

The softball season, and the latest stint for head coach John Higgins ended for Medical Lake last Saturday in Suncrest.
After a thrilling 14-13 win in 12 innings over Chewelah last Tuesday that got them into the postseason, a pair of losses in the Northeast A League's district tournament ousted the Cardinals.
Medical Lake lost its opener 11-5 to regular season champion Lakeside and then 13-9 to Riverside in the loser-out contest, finishing 9-14 on the season. Saturday's game was the final one in Higgins' second stint at ML's softball coach as he's retiring.

text: Feb 9, 2013 17:12 LSU official testifies former student had grudge against slain student from India LSU official testifies former student had grudge against slain student from India BY JOE GYAN JR.| Advocate staff writer Comments The chairman of LSU's chemistry department testified Friday he went to campus police the morning after two LSU graduate students from India were found murdered in December 2007 and told police that a former LSU graduate student might be a potential suspect. Andrew Maverick, who also is a chemistry professor at LSU, said he told police that Anatol Litoshka may have held a "grudge" against Kiran Kumar Allam — one of the slain students, and also faculty members who voted in mid-2006 to remove Litoshka from the graduate program in which Allam was a member. "I suspected Mr. Litoshka might have done something," Maverick testified during a hearing on several motions filed by the attorney for Casey Jermaine Gathers, the alleged triggerman in the Dec. 13, 2007, killing of Allam, 33, and Chandrasekhar Reddy Komma, 31. The two were shot to death at Allam's Edward Gay apartment on the edge of LSU's campus. Gathers, 24, and Michael Jermaine Lewis, 23, both of Baton Rouge, each are charged with two counts of second-degree murder in the slayings. There is no trial date currently set. Devin Jamell Parker, 23, also of Baton Rouge, pleaded guilty in 2011 to armed robbery and accessory charges in the case and agreed to testify in any future legal proceedings. He has not been sentenced. State District Judge Chip Moore on Friday denied a defense motion to suppress — or bar the jury from hearing — Parker's statements to police. East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III, who attended Friday's hearing, said afterward his office is "confident in the case that we have." "It's completely bogus," he said of the defense contention that Litoshka may have killed Allam and Komma or hired someone to kill Allam. "It's disingenuous. He's got a right to present a defense, but it has to be relevant." Beau Brock, a former East Baton Rouge Parish prosecutor who represents Gathers, said he is "searching for the truth." "I wish other people were searching for the truth," he said. Chip Moore said he will rule Feb. 20 on a defense request that the judge instruct the jury when the case comes to trial that someone else, namely the disgruntled Litoshka, could have had a motive to kill. "Somebody else had a motive and a plan to do this," Brock argued to the judge. Prosecutor Steve Danielson countered that Litoshka, of Belarus, left the United States on Feb. 17, 2007, and never returned, meaning he was not a "viable suspect." "It's an undue waste of time for the jury to even consider," Danielson argued. Graca Vicente, a professor in LSU's chemistry department, testified she supervised Allam and Litoshka in their graduate program. She said both Allam and Litoshka had come to LSU from the University of Arizona. "Mr. Litoshka didn't get along very well with the people in my group," she said. "He had a problem getting along with people at the University of Arizona as well." Vicente said she once accompanied Allam to the LSU Police Department so he could file a report about Litoshka allegedly pushing and threatening him. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

How much energy do those video games use?
From Engineering on January 02, 2009 in General
Ive never understood video and computer games. Ive always been much more interested in living and experiencing life than staring at a screen pretending to live in a fantasy. My favorite example of the absurdity of these games is a commercial that can be seen on many networks this holiday season. The commercial begins with a gorgeous landscape complete with rolling green fields and gushing water. The camera spans to a beautiful, window-encased house sitting atop a hill overlooking a picturesque scene. The camera then enters the house to find two girls sitting in a luxurious room, apparently on vacation. They begin discussing what the other would like to do that day, shopping, hiking, etc. You then see that they are actually playing a video game with a surreal world, completely ignoring the resort-like setting they are in. The point of the commercial is to demonstrate how captivating the game is to where you dont even notice your surroundings. Pretty sad in my book. Just imagine how many hours so many American children spend living in a fantasy world. This is just my opinion, but here is one actual fact regarding video games that no-one can dispute.
According to a recent study conducted by The Natural Resources Defense Council and Eco Consulting, video game consoles consume a collective 16 billion kilowatt-hours per year nationwide. That is close to the total amount of electricity used for the whole city of San Diego in one year. Video games are a growing phenomenon in this country. So much so that some will actually sleep outside of Wal-Mart for days in advance of the release of the most recent model of the Sony Playstation.
So how do we combat this secret contributor to global warming? The study suggested the manufacturers of the consoles install some power-saving modes, but maybe we can all reduce our time spent in oblivion and spend just a little more in reality.

Tulane 24, Louisiana-Monroe 10
Tulane Game 3
Louisiana Superdome
New Orleans, La.
HEAD COACH Bob Toledo
Opening statement
"First of all, I'm really happy for our football team. They've worked hard and we finally won a game. And you need to win after you work that hard because eventually you wonder why you're working hard. This was something that proved to them that if you continue to do the things that are asked of you, you can win games. I'm really proud of their effort.
On what went right for the Green Wave
"I thought tonight, all 3 phases were good. Our special teams played with a lot of passion and that's one of the things that I asked of them when we went out those doors. Play with passion and play as hard as you can play. I thought our defense did a super job with an exception of that last drive, fourth-down play. And then offensively, we said we were going to pound the rock. We're going to pound on the rock until it cracks. And that's what we did. We practiced very physical and we played physical. At the end, they couldn't stop us. That's one of the things during the fourth quarter. A good running back gets stronger and then your offensive team gets stronger. So I thought from an overall standpoint, all three phases were playing well. I was disappointed that after the turnover we didn't get a touchdown. I was disappointed that when we got down there, we threw an interception. But I think a lot of guys played extremely well and I'm just pleased to win the game."
On having to turn around and play SMU on Thursday
"The tough thing now is we have to turn around and we have a game next Thursday night. We're going from a spread-option offense to a run and shoot offense. And it's considerably different. This one is run first, pass second. The run-and-shoot is pass first and run a little bit. We need to pressure their quarterback and get ready to play against the run-and-shoot."
On the physical state of his football team
"We're nicked up a little bit. We're a little beat up. And we beat them up a little bit in practice this week, knowing that if we could win this game it would pay dividends down the road. So, we have to back off just a little bit this week because we only really have pads on on Monday and Tuesday. We'll actually start practice tomorrow."
On how each phase is playing right now
"I think the defense is playing a little better than the offense is right now, to be perfectly honest with you. I'm pleased with how they're performing. We have to put people away. We can't let them off the hook. But I think we're playing hard, we're playing smart, we're being very aggressive and we're improving on the things we need improvement on. I like the tackling. We had a lot of tackling drills this week and we got better as a tackling team. Offensively, we need to continue to make big plays. We need to make some big plays. We're not doing that right now. We make a few and we had a couple drops tonight that should've been caught that would've helped us. Then, special teams wise, we need to continue to grow there."
On how they were able to "finish" the game
"One of the things is when I talked to the team at halftime, I said we've got to go out and we've got to pound on the rock offensively and defensively. We've got to make them break. And then I said to be smart. I said, `We have one penalty, they have five. Let them make the stupid mistakes.' We had a couple freshmen have some penalties that hurt us. We had some dropped balls that hurt us. But I think, for the most part, we finished the game. Because they scored, we ran the ball back and then we kept it away from them. That's finishing the game - not letting them have the ball back."
On Tulane's ability to stop teams on third down
"First of all, (defensive coordinator) O'Neil Gilbert was moved from defensive line to linebacker coach, and Greg Jackson was moved from safeties to linebackers. I have those two working together. And our underneath coverage is so much better than it was a year ago at this time. We couldn't stop anybody on third down and now we're playing more zonal. We're doing some zone blitzes. We're not playing as much man as we did a year ago. We're playing more zone and trying to keep people in front of us, inside of us, rallying to the ball, and then pressure with the people that are rushing."
On if he felt it was a matter of time before everything fell into place for the Tulane team
"I think because of the way we played those first two games, I did know it was a matter of time. We had to stop beating ourselves. I've always told our guys that you've got to keep from losing before you can win. More games are lost than won. I really believe that in those two games, we had a big deal to do with losing the game. We lost some of those games with the punt return, punt block, field goal block. We were losing. And not that people weren't beating us, but you've got to keep from losing first is all I'm saying. We did that tonight."
On the 37-yard pass to Cody Sparks during the opening drive
"We knew they were a two-deep scheme and we wanted to get three guys going vertical, hold the back with the run fake, then pick off the safety and throw a nice ball down the middle. We threw a nice ball down the middle to Sparks. That set the stage and got in the mode and scored real quick. Then we came back and scored again. I think our players felt good about that and then stopping them like we did we felt like we were in control of the game."
On if they thought ULM was going to open the game with that coverage
"Yes, we felt like that was the coverage we were going to get. In their first three games, they opened the game with that front end coverage. We were hoping that they would do the same thing so we called a play that would beat that front coverage and we executed it well. Plays aren't worth a darn if you don't execute them. Kevin did a great job of executing it. The line blocked. We run faked, held the linebacker and, of course, Sparks made a nice play."
On some of the trick plays Tulane ran
"We did some things to keep them off balance. That's one of the things I do, too. As I've said in the past, with those fakes, people don't practice that stuff now. They can't just rush the field goal. They've got to be prepared for a fake. They've got to practice some of the trick plays. Little things that we do - there are reasons why we do them."
On if he felt Tulane was playing not to lose last week and playing to win this week
"I think we play to win all the time. I don't play not to lose. I play according to what our game plan is and what we think we can do against the opponent. I don't play to lose. I do play to win."
On Dominique Dade's punt return for 18 yards
"One of the things we saw, because of their punt formation and their punter, we felt we could return. We did a great job of holding up and then Dominique's got the ability to make a play and that was a big return for us."
On if he asked for the refs to review the ULM interception, which was eventually overturned
"I was going to ask for it, but I let (Dan Dodd) do it. In other words Dan Dodd said, `He fumbled that football, he didn't have possession.' So I grabbed the official and we were waiting because we don't want to use a timeout. They will buzz down before I call a timeout. But if it started to get to the next play, I would've called a timeout because Dan Dodd did tell me that he didn't have the ball."
JUNIOR RUNNING BACK André Anderson
On how he feels after the win
"I'm definitely beat up, but it feels better going home knowing you have a win under your belt and you don't have to worry about too much for a while or until next week. So it feels good."
On his first-quarter touchdown
"It was a game plan play. It was one of the regular plays but we tweaked it a bit. I just lined up offset, Kevin (Moore) gave me a good handoff, Andrew (Neirman) made a great block on the linebacker and we just spread them out and run through the middle. That's what I did and got in the end zone."
On if he was getting tired on the last drive where he kept getting the ball
" No, I definitely wanted to be in. It reminded me of high school when I'm grinding the clock out. I told the guys, `Let's not let their offense back on the field. We have five minutes to grind the clock out. Let's run the ball and keep getting first downs,' and that's what we did. They made some great blocks for me. I saw the holes, I was hitting them as hard as I could and was just trying to drive my feet and keep the game going, keep the clock moving so we could win the game."
On his average yards per carry
"We tried to get at least four yards per carry every play, you know, running efficiency. Two point five isn't where we need to be. So we definitely wanted to come out and make a statement with the ball, run the ball and make explosive plays with the running game. We did that today. We had a lot of long runs. I had some good runs up the middle. We went to work on our blocking, just made sure we executed everything well and just pounded it in there. We just kept `pounding the rock.'"
On "Pounding the Rock"
"We've been talking about it all week - just pound the rock, pound the rock. I told the guys, `Just keep fighting, keep blocking hard and eventually we're going to make a big play here and there.' That's what happened today. We had good runs all over the field. We just kept pounding the rock and kept going at it. We wore them down, kept churning our legs and just kept driving. That's what we wanted to do today."
On if he felt a sense of urgency about this game
"We felt a sense of urgency the last two weeks, but it just didn't come out for us. We knew this was one of the games we were picked to win and they had us on upset alert this week so we kind of took that to heart. We wanted to make sure we went out and show that we deserve to be on the field and be victorious, protect the home field and just make a statement. We wanted to show everybody that Tulane is for real. Those two games weren't just emotional highs because we played two big teams. We wanted to just come out here and just play physical and play hard. We played a good team. We just came out on top."
On where Tulane goes from here
"We just keep going back to work. We go back to work tomorrow when we have practice. We've got to get ready for SMU. They're a good team and a conference team, so that's important for us for winning the conference and trying to get to where our goal is - a bowl game and conference champs. We just have to go back to work, keep practicing hard, keep doing what we're doing and try to use this momentum to get us on a roll."
On if this game felt different than the others
"Only because this was the first game we won this year. Being the starter now, everyone is looking at me to make the big play and make the runs we need to in the fourth quarter. It felt good to be the guy that everybody looked at and everybody counted on. They knew I was getting the ball and I just wanted to make sure I did what I did. I feel good that I did my part today to help the team win. The defense played great and the offensive line played well. Kevin Moore threw the ball real well and our receivers made plays. We had a great full team effort. I think it was a very, very good team effort. It wasn't really a one-man show. Everybody was just doing their part in getting us this win."
On how his legs feel after carrying the ball 38 times
"My legs are fine. They are just a little bruised here and there. I was cramping up a little bit, but I'm good to go. I'm sore, but having 38 carries I would expect it. They were hitting hard and its college football. I'll be ready for next week."
On the amount of carries he has every game increasing week to week
"If I keep going every week, next thing you know I might get 40 or 45 carries. Hopefully I'll make enough big plays so it won't be that many carries. But I do what coach asks of me. If it takes 20 to win, I'll do 20. If it takes 35, 39, 40? Matt (Forté) did it last year and I've got my body ready to do it this year. That's what I'm trying to do."
On if he can sense during the game he's going to have a big day
"Definitely. After the first touchdown, I knew it was going to be a good day. We had great blocking and we set it up real well. I scored early and I usually say if I start off running well then it's going to be a long day. So that's what we did and I just knew if we kept pounding it we would have a good day. They came out and played hard, but we hit them right back in the mouth and kept pounding it. We had a great game plan and I was just looking to break on every play."
JUNIOR LINEBACKER Logan Kelley
On if ULM's bad snaps were due to them anticipating Tulane was coming after them
"I think it definitely played a part in it because, in a lot of protections, they dropped their center to pick up outside blockers. We have a lot of speed on the edge so we had to get back there pretty fast. I'm sure it had something to do with it."
On if he surprised at the success Tulane's defense is having
"I don't think it surprises us. Coach Gilbert has told us all along that we're good. We just have to work hard and execute the scheme. I think it took some people a few games to kind of trust what he was saying and believe that we were going to be good. But I think everyone pretty much now has confidence in this defense and we have a swagger about us going into games knowing that we want to go in and dominate."
On why their defense is so difficult to read
"There's at least one blitz for everyone on the team. There are blitzes for the free safety, the corners, everyone is coming. That, and I think the times that the coaches call them and the way we go in with our game plan - what blitzes we put in their for their protection schemes and recognizing those protection schemes."
SOPHOMORE QUARTERBACK Kevin Moore
On how the win feels
"It feels awesome, especially the way we finished. I told the offensive line at the break-through moment, I think there was four or five minutes left on the clock and they had the full allotment of their timeouts. We went out there and we ended the game with the ball. We picked up a big third down, Brian (King) made a great catch on the left side and then, other than that, we were pounding them on that last possession. It was so great to win like that."
On the defense playing "at a higher level" than the offense
"The defense has been absolutely spectacular the whole season. They've created turnovers. I think they're leading the country in sacks. Coach Gilbert does a great job with them and they play incredibly hard. Offensively, sometimes you feel like you have to equal them almost at some point. You just have to go out there and execute and do what you do and things will work out. Coach Toledo has a great game plan for us every week. Having a defense like that and with how well they've played has been absolutely fantastic. The first couple weeks, they've kept us in games. Offensively, if we cashed in on a few of the opportunities they gave us, there'd be different outcomes. We scored more points than the other team today and we have some stuff that we need to correct. I threw a bad interception and almost had another one picked off. But I felt like we battled well."
On what it's like to be a quarterback during the last drive
"When its working like that, it's awesome. It's kind of an easy job. I felt like we picked up a big third down...Brian (King) made a great catch out there. Brian ran a great route and picked up a first down and from there it was just determination. We wanted it. It was right there and that's what we've been talking about for two weeks - finishing and just taking that last step. Tonight, I felt like we did a good job of that."
SENIOR CORNERBACK Josh Lumar
On how it feels to get the first win of the season
"It feels great. We practiced hard, and we did everything we were coached to do. I mean, Coach was on it from the last game that we let go. Our motto was `finish' and we finally got a finish. It feels great."
On the defense dominating in games
"Well, that's our motto. That's what is broken down to us every day. We go out on that field, even in practice, to dominate. We want to dominate every opponent, everybody we play."
On his improvement with tackling from last week to this week
"Last week, I had a bad game tackling. Coach Toledo got on me. He told me to correct the mistakes. I went out this week, practiced hard with tackling, being tackled - just a lot of tackling drills. That's what I wanted to accomplish today: good tackling."
Opening Statement
"It felt like we came out in the first half offensively sleep-walking. I'm not sure if we executed anything in the first half offensively. I thought our defense played pretty well in that first half, they did some good things. I think they gave up one big play there in the first half. Tulane's got a good football team. We knew that coming in, that they were going to be a physical football team and we were going to have to play well to have a chance to win the football game. We just didn't play, I believe, like we were capable of playing. I thought Tulane was very hungry for a win, and they went out and took the game. We didn't play well enough to win, so we basically gave them the opportunity to win that football game."
On the offense's strategy in the first half
"I think we got a little one dimensional in that first half. We weren't running the ball a whole lot and got to throwing the ball a lot. When you do that, they can tee off on you when it gets to be third and long. You have to be able to get yourself in a third and short and I think we had maybe one third and short in the first half. They did a good job up front. They have a physical team, we knew that coming in."
On Tulane making a couple of big plays in the first half
"They did. I was real proud of our field goal block team for stopping the fake field goal. I thought we did a great job there. That (interception) in the end zone was a catch. I don't think the ground can cause a fumble, but they say he was bobbling it on the replay. I thought there were several opportunities there in that first half were for us to get closer in the ball game. It was a 17-point game at half-time. We knew we would have to come out in the second half and play well to win the game. But we ended up not playing like we're capable."
On what ULM takes from this ballgame
"Well, I think there is a bunch we can take from this game. I think we've got to come up and be a physical football team. We have to be able to run the football, offensively. And I think defensively, we've got to be able to get off the field, not let them drive the ball and sustain drives. I thought we did a fairly good job all night on special teams. I think we had a 47 or 48 yard field goal there with Radi Jabour. It was a great hold by Chance (Payne), a little high on the snap. Great protection, great kick. I think Scott Love punted the ball there pretty well, except for maybe one punt all night. I thought we covered well on kickoffs except for maybe the first one of the night. I thought we played pretty good on special teams this week. I think we can continue to improve in all areas. If we want to be a championship football team, which this team tells me that's what they want to do, we are going to have to continue to improve.
On being 1-Of-10 on third downs
"That's pretty bad. That's pretty bad."
On the difference between the first and second half
"We pretty much changed the offense coming out in the second half. They had great, a little success in the beginning of the game and it came along. We just sort of went with what we knew."
On the slow start in the first half
"Tulane has a very great team. Pretty much they just beat us in all phases of the game. We just came out trying to find a way out of the hole."
On the interception that was overruled on replay
"It was a catch. I know it was a catch. I know I caught the ball. If I would have felt like I didn't catch it, I wouldn't have got up, throw the ball off, and walked off the field like I did. We are in the Superdome, their home. Things aren't to go our way; we just have to run with it."
On getting his first interception of the year
"It feels good. It hurts too though, knowing that I could have had two. They messed that one up, but I got that one, though. It feels good to know that I am back on the field."
On Tulane scoring two touchdowns in the first half
"We were ready to come out and play. We had a couple of missed assignments. Basically, all the touchdowns they scored were off missed assignments. It wasn't because of us not being ready. It was just missed assignments and missed calls. Some guys weren't on the same page, and that's what happens."
On moving to corner after playing safety most of his college career
"I was kind of a little rusty. I haven't been practicing there very much. I just found out I was moving back to corner this week and had to be ready in three or four days. It's kind of hard. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be."
On looking ahead to the Sun Belt portion of the schedule
"Non-conference games are games that get us ready for our conference. We had a good non-conference. We played hard, we played hard against Arkansas, Alabama A&M, and played a pretty good game tonight. We got an off week, all we can do is get ready, take advantage of the off week and get ready for ULL."

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Winter/Spring 2009 issue.
Should you suddenly find yourself in the midst of a highbrow conversation about Mexican art, here are five names that may come up and the reasons why they might.
Along with Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siquerios, Rivera created the Mexican Muralist Movement in the early part of the 20th century, a significant achievement worldwide in public art development. Among his wealthy patrons, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller convinced husband John D. to commission a mural for the Rockefeller Center in New York City, which was near completion in 1932. But the mural offended many, due to the inclusion of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin, and was demolished prior to completion.
A freak bus accident during her teens left this internationally acclaimed artist bedridden for most of her adult life. But this tragic incident would define the course of her destiny. As she recovered from fractures of her back, ribs, collarbone and pelvis, damage to her reproductive organs, and shoulder and foot injuries, she began painting to occupy her time. Many of her works symbolically depict her psychological and physical wounds. She didn't reach international recognition until many decades after her death, during the 1980s artistic movement known as NeoMexicanism.
Along with Diego Rivera, Orozco was heavily influenced by Jose Guadalupe Posada's satirical engravings, often stopping to watch him work at his shop on the way to the famed San Carlos Academy in Mexico City, where Mexico's most influential 20th-century artists received their education. A tireless traveler, he spent several years living and working in the United States, where one of his most famous murals, The Epic of American Civilization, was painted at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, between 1932 and 1934, spanning almost 3200 square feet (300 m2).
Tamayo pioneered a printing technique called "mixografia," in which artwork is printed on paper, but with added depth and texture. Often tagged as a traitor to the prevailing socialist views shared by other artists of his time, such as Orozco and Rivera, he spent many years living abroad, spending extended periods of time in New York City and Paris. One of his paintings, "Tres Personajes," painted in the 1970s and stolen over 20 years ago, was miraculously found on a New York street by New Yorker Elizabeth Gibson while she was out for a coffee run. It was subsequently auctioned by Sotheby's during their fall 2007 sale of Latin American Art, fetching a whopping $1,049,000 USD.
An artist who was occupied by both artistic and militant pursuits throughout most of his adult life, Siqueiros actually believed that both should be intertwined. As early as age 15, he was involved in student strikes at the San Carlos Academy. Subsequent political subversion even led to incarceration and a period of self-exile from Mexico. One of his most renowned murals was produced at Mexico City's National University, one of the few educational institutions worldwide to be deemed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Satanic Cats Make Pornagraphs Video!
I told you all! Hell demon cats! Cats are hellbound savages and I today wish I was animal control, because I would build a giant gasoline fire and cheer "Die cats!" and throw each and every of these vermin into it!
Today as I calmly perused YouTube, in search for more videos to warn everyone about today, I spat out my Oat Bran in disgust! On Youtube cats have made a secret video where they do the nasty!
They are gay's cats. Gays want everyone to think it is normal to share videos of cats doing the sin tango, so that when they talk about plunging their sin augers into each other's sewage ports, we will all laught and say it is normal like watching our pets fetch or take a nap.
This is perversion. Children on Youtube will see this. If I knew where these cats lived, I'd gather them up and throw them off a mountain and laugh as they meowed in sin all the way down until they crashed straight into hell where all cats belong! Warning: This video contains a flesh shot video created by two cats of probable gay owners. Demand any wife/children leave the room before reviewing for your local parenting/pro-America family group.

REVIEW: The Creative Fire by Brenda Cooper
Creative Fire (Ruby's Song #1)
by Brenda Cooper
Pyr, November 2012
Paperback, 400 pages
Science Fiction, Young Adult
Nothing can match the power of a single voice… Ruby Martin expects to spend her days repairing robots and avoiding the dangerous peacekeeping forces that roam the corridors of the generation ship The Creative Fire. Her best friend has been raped and killed, the ship is falling apart around her, and no one she knows has any real information about what's happening to them. The social structure on board Creative Fire is rigidly divided, with Ruby and her friends on the bottom, but she dreams of freedom and equality.
Everything changes when a ship-wide accident reveals secrets she and her friends had only imagined. Now, she has to fight for her freedom and the freedom of everyone she loves. Her enemies are numerous, well armed, and much more knowledgeable than Ruby. Her weapons are a fabulous voice, a quick mind, a deep stubbornness, and a passion for freedom. And complicating it all—an unreliable A.I. and an enigmatic man she met – and kissed – exactly once—and one of them may hold the key to her success. If Ruby can't transform from a rebellious teen to the leader of a revolution, she and all her friends will lose all say in their future, and nothing will ever change.
REVIEWER: Melanie
This story is set on the ship, Creative Fire, that has been on a 400 year journey through space and on its way back to Adiamo, the home planet. Life on certain parts of the ship is very harsh and austere. There is a very rigid politic and social structure with 'greys' doing the manual jobs, 'reds' are the police and 'blues'….. well I wasn't really sure what they were exactly other than those ultimately in power. Everyone is segregated and its extremely difficult to move from your social class regardless of your talents. The greys are effectively the lower class and are exposed to brutality by the reds who are the police force on the ship. An accident on board the aging ship brings the story's teenage heroine, Ruby to the rescue of a blue named Fox. Despite their relatively short time together Ruby is drawn to Fox and yearns to find a better life where everyone is treated equally. Her drive to make a difference is heightened when she finds her best friend Nona who has been brutally raped and murdered by two reds. Despite this being a pivotal point for Ruby she reflects more on her meeting with Fox then the death of her best friend which I thought was very odd.
Ruby is a talented singer and starts to sew the seeds of revolution through song and by handing out beaded necklaces which become a symbol for the resistance. Its not long before she becomes noticed by both the reds and the blues for her efforts to spur on change. She is eventually rescued by Fox and moves with him onto his part of the ship. Fox is the space ship version of Simon Cowell and grooms Ruby to for a career as a recording artist on board the ship. I was not clear whether Cooper intended that Ruby was going to create unity through music or it was used to inspire the greys to rebel. Ruby and Fox quickly start a sexual relationship and I was never completely sure who was using who or whether Ruby was using sex so that Fox would keep her in his part of the ship.
The book is split between Ruby and her friend Oner's story. Oner is separated from Ruby and the rest of his friends and sent to work in the worst job possible on the ship – sanitation. He meets even more brutality than before as the greys themselves ensure that no one gets out of line. It is there that Oner meets Joel who will later lead the resistance from the outer decks of the ship. Eventually, a battle ensues and grey try to take over the ship, people die and its time for Ruby, Oner and Joel to make some big decisions.
I was really looking forward to reading this book. Look at the front cover! Its gorgeous and combined with the summary on the back cover I was so sure this book was going to be a winner. I don't think I could have been more disappointed and I had to force myself it to finish it. Ruby was in no way a credible heroine. As I write this I am struggling to think of one thing that Ruby did that would have made her a realistic leader of the resistance. Her friend Oner, was much more of the hero yet the story revolved around Ruby instead. I found Ruby to be gullible, naive and uninspiring. I also had a slight problem with the fact that Ruby jumped into bed with two guys out of what seemed more out of gratitude than anything else and she was only supposed to be sixteen or seventeen. While The Creative Fire wasn't really purported to be YA the fact that the main character was a teenager and having sex made me a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps I read this book too closely to Wool which had a similar overall premise of fighting for freedom and equality and that is why I didn't enjoy it. This story could have really held its own had it not been for a the portrayal of Ruby who I thought was too weak to be convincing as a leader of the resistance.
The Creative Fire breaks the saying 'don't judge the book by the cover' as the cover is so much more interesting than the characters inside. I had high hopes but I found it a disappointment as I didn't find the main character Ruby, as a believable heroine or leader of the resistance. While Ruby is still in her teens this book is not suitable for young readers.

A1A Marathon cited for best finishers medal in North America
The Ft. Lauderdale A1A Marathon (A1A) 2010 finisher medal is ranked No. 1 among North American marathon medals, according to the May/June 2011 issue of Marathon & Beyond magazine. In Paul Gentry's article, "Forming a Pearl", the A1A medal was cited for its unique design and efforts to enhance the runner's experience.
Marathon & Beyond, a 15-year-old, international bimonthly magazine tailored for marathoners and ultramarathoners, conducted the competition with a panel of 22 judges. Marathon & Beyond publisher Jan Seeley said, "11 men and 11 women painstakingly went through an abundance of medal submissions. In the end, it was clear that originality was a key factor in the final results from the panel. Interestingly, ocean and highway themes were the cream of the crop this time around."
According to Gentry, "A1A was at or close to the top of nearly every ballot. Amusingly, the only difference between their finisher medal compared to other marathons in 2010 was a small hinge." The design of the medal features a two-part clamshell that opens and is secured by a hinge. The inside of the shells reveal a beach scene and features the race's title sponsor, Publix Supermarkets. The "hinged" medal concept has become the calling card of the race organizers behind the A1A.
"We have raised the bar for ourselves, and the hinge resonated with the runners, so we have incorporated the design into all of our running races," said Matt Lorraine, CEO of Exclusive Sports Marketing.
This recognition marks the first entry of the Ft. Lauderdale A1A Marathon into the Top 25 competition.
"We are thrilled about this honor," said Chris Colgan, race director. "We feel this recognition puts us on the map within the landscape of the marathon scene. Additionally, winning this competition validates the effort and investment that was put into the design and production of our medal."

EUGENE, Ore. - The University of Oregon's 2003-04 freshman class of student-athletes posted a 74 percent federal graduation rate, according to the latest data released Wednesday by the NCAA. As a whole, the general student population of the University posted a 70 percent federal rate for the 2003-04 freshman class as both percentages advanced over the previous year.
By comparison, the class of 2002-03 had a federal rate of 65 percent for student-athletes and 66 percent for the entire student body, meaning that the University posted federal graduation rate improvements of nine percent among student-athletes and four percent overall.
The four-year class average graduation rate, which refers to those students who enrolled as freshmen between 2000 and 2003, improved to 66 percent for all students and 65 percent for student-athletes. The four-year average during the previous window, those who enrolled from 1999-2002, was 59 percent for student-athletes and 65 percent for the overall student population.
The federal rate tracks only those who enrolled as freshmen and graduated within a six-year window. Those students who leave school or transfer to another college count against the federal rate, regardless of whether or not they graduate from another University. Conversely, transfers into the University are not counted in the federal data.
The NCAA also released another statistic on Wednesday - the student-athlete Graduation Success Rate, or GSR, in which two- and four-year transfer student graduation rates are taken into account. Additionally, a student-athlete who leaves an institution in good academic standing does not count against a school's GSR.
Oregon had a 76 percent GSR for the 2003-04 freshman class, up slightly from 74 percent for 2002-03.
The University showed improvement among each of the four core Pac-10 sports of men's and women's basketball, football and volleyball. Oregon's four-year average GSR for volleyball went from 80 percent to 90 percent, men's basketball went from 78 to 83 percent, women's basketball went from, 92 to 93 percent and football went from 49 to 54 percent
Softball, men's tennis, women's tennis and women's golf all posted 100 percent four-year average GSRs.
Other notable GSR's went to women's track & field (95 percent), soccer (85 percent) and men's golf (82 percent).
Among federal graduation rates, the football team improved from 45 percent to 53 percent, men's basketball went from 78 to 79 percent, women's basketball went from 69 to 71 percent and volleyball went from 50 to 62 percent.
Additional strong federal graduation rates were posted by softball (87 percent), women's track & field (85 percent), men's golf (82 percent), women's tennis (80 percent) women's golf (78 percent) and women's soccer (70 percent).

Will hormone treatments affect bone density?
Tamoxifen may have a positive effect on bone mineral density. This can help to prevent such conditions as osteoporosis. However, it has also been found that the treatments are only effective if continued and that short-term treatments may not produce long-term bone density improvement. Hormonal treatment for breast cancer that lowers estrogen levels can also make bones weaker. Research is ongoing as to which treatments increase the chances of bone loss and this is something which should be discussed with your doctor.

Oh, "Magic Mike" — we just can't seem to get enough info about this surprisingly complex comedy about male strippers.
The R-rated film is loosely based on star Channing Tatum's real-life stripper past, was directed by Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh and features a very attractive ensemble cast including "True Blood" werewolf Joe Manganiello, "White Collar" star Matt Bomer, Alex Pettyfer and leading lady Cody Horn.
When MTV News caught up with the cast recently, we asked them to address the subject of male objectification and whether the guys felt any discomfort in playing sex objects or from all the screams and cat calls from the female extras in the audience for their stripping scenes.
"There's no such thing as male objectification, and I think that's what we're exposing with this movie," Manganiello said. "It doesn't exist. We really don't care. I think for the most part, it's just about having fun. It's like, 'Leave all that outside.' "
"It's an interesting story to be a part of with an amazing director and a great cast that I've wanted to work with for a long time," Bomer added. "However that's going to be marketed and perceived is sort of out of our hands. We just had a great time telling the story."
"I want to be objectified, but I don't feel it," Pettyfer said.
Somehow, in the midst of all that unabashed admiration for their stripping, the guys just can't come to terms with any of that enthusiasm being negative, and we are almost inclined to agree. Relative newcomer Cody Horn, who plays Tatum's love interest and Pettyfer's sister in the film, offered an insightful perspective on the subject.
"They are objectified as a whole, as a group, but it was fun. It was fun as a girl to be a part of something that objectifies men," Horn said. "Because whether they know it or not, maybe that's just a testament to that they have no idea what it feels like. … I think they had such fun doing it that it doesn't feel the same as when a woman is objectified."
"I don't think anyone gets tired of screaming girls," Pettyfer pointed out.
"It's high time that those tables be turned!" Bomer said.
Check out everything we've got on "Magic Mike."

Dream Start
The dream was that I was going to go swimming. Indoors swimming, that is.. a one that I know. But I actually never got to go into the water, as I was doing other things instead. I kept seeing the pool of water, though. Actually, there was an area with low water, up to your ankles, and I got to sit in there. I wore a light pink tank top over my swimsuit (which was a one piece). I spent most of the time in the changing rooms, where there were other girls. Who were mean to me. And I guess I was upset..
Dream End
Yeah.. whenever I go swimming (which isn't much) I would wear a two piece with a t-shirt and shorts. So, I guess, you wouldn't notice the two piece.. haha ha..
like a diary but not really
I like to think I tried my best

What Rocco Mediate lost in 2008, a 30-something Iowa golfer won 53 years earlier: a playoff against a legend for the U.S. Open championship.
The University of Nebraska Press today posted on its blog a short excerpt from a book soon to be published that discusses Jack Fleck, the Iowan who beat Ben Hogan in a playoff at the 1955 U.S. Open.
The paperback, expected to be available June 1, is "Arnie, Seve, and a Fleck of Golf History: Heroes, Underdogs, Courses, and Championships," by Bill Fields, with a foreword by Ben Crenshaw.
The blog posting also includes a link to the New York Times obituary about Fleck, which has fascinating details about his U.S. Open win.
Fleck died Friday at age 92. He was born in Bettendorf, Iowa, according to the Times obituary, and was a golf pro in nearby Davenport.
The exerpt at the UN Press blog is from Chapter 22, "A Fleck of History."

Despite decades of student learning failure, Nebraska has had a variety of school choice bills drafted and then die. The good news is that Nebraska may have just been waiting for the right combination of school choice options to prove successful. Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) is a student-learning-and-achievement dream come true.
With an ESA, parents/guardians receive a debit card with 90% of the same funds districts use to educate a child in public school and thus have complete control over their child's education. Arizona's ESA offers a wide variety of options for students and their parents including:
- Tuition, fees and/or required textbooks at a qualified school
- Tutoring services
- Curriculum
- Tuition and/or fees for a private online learning program
- Fees for nationally standardized norm-referenced achievement tests
Eligible children under the Arizona law include:
- A Child with a Disability
- Currently attending an underperforming school
- An active duty parent
- In Foster Care
(Empowerment Scholarship Account Handbook, Arizona Department of Education 4/21/14)
Parents/guardians have control over, and are legally responsible for, their child's education. Students and their parents/guardians are the consumers of education. As such, they should make decisions for those services in their student's best interest. As it stands in Nebraska, students and their parents must conform to the system, despite student learning failure.
This is where the rubber meets the road. What is the education goal for Nebraska children? Is it student learning outcomes or jobs, dues and pensions? At present, only about a third of Nebraska students are proficient readers.
Ask your Nebraska Legislator to sponsor or draft a Nebraska version of the Empowerment Scholarship Account for our children. Today!

July 11 (Friday) 5:15-6:15 Colorado Irish Festival- Beth Gadbaw and Margo Krimmel head up The Granias (featuring Annie Sirotniak on guitar and guest Esther Terpenning on flute, sitting in for fiddler Jessie Burns who'll be visiting family in England) as they play the opening set on the Whiskey Pub Stage at the 2014 Colorado Irish Festival. Gate is FREE before 6:00 pm – stay and eat, visit the booths and Heritage tent, hang out in the general frivolity- check the website for other scheduled bands.
Gadbaw & Krimmel are: Beth Gadbaw: vocals, bodhrán and Margot Krimmel: harp, vocals
The Granias are an all-female Celtic folk quartet that hails from Lyons and Boulder, Colorado. Named for the magnificent sixteenth century Irish heroine Grania, the Pirate Queen, this emerging band is known for its graceful, swashbuckling traditional sound. The Granias' fiddler Jessie Burns spent six years touring the world with Celtic super-group Gaelic Storm, her last album with that group reaching number one on the World Charts. Singer/drummer Beth Gadbaw and harpist Margot Krimmel perform often as a duo, their music recently described by Colorado Public Radio as "stunning" and by British folk magazine What's Afoot as "an absolute joy to listen to." Guitarist Annie Sirotniak, known for her rich, session-style playing, is also producer of an active, nationally renowned concert series.
The Granias delight audiences with a variety of Celtic and American repertoire that showcases the talents of these four established musicians: Irish, Scottish and bluegrass fiddle tunes by Burns, whose playing is "powered by pure energy" (Boston Music Spotlight); American and English folk ballads, Scottish sea chanties, and Irish traditional songs by Gadbaw, her voice "often acting as an instrument in its own right" (Sing Out!); sparkling harp solos by Krimmel that "hint at ancient Irish roots" (Westword); chopsy accompaniment by Sirotniak, whose unparalleled community spirit earned her a place as one of Boulder County's "top 100"(Longmont Times-Call). Together, The Granias hold true to the spirit of their namesake, Grania, the Pirate Queen, the epitome of feminine strength and love; delivering graceful, swashbuckling Celtic and American folk music with passion, artistry, and expert musicianship.

Children, Childhood and Cultural Heritagefocuses on the hitherto little explored historical and heritage representations of children and childhood. Children and teenagers may constitute up to or even more than 50% of any given society, and the range of their experiences are as determined by the spectrum of social, economic and environmental factors as those of adults. Yet children are rarely accorded the same powers, privileges and responsibilities as 'grown-ups', and their lives are always influenced by the expectations of the adult world about how 'children' and the period of 'childhood' may be defined and understood. As recent scholarship into the history of childhood has demonstrated, the cultures of childhood are rich and varied and worthy of study in their own right (as distinct from the histories of families or communities). There has been, however, little scholarly interrogation of the cultural heritage of children, and the representations of childhood, in discussions of museology, cultural heritage sites and material culture. This volume address that gap in the existing heritage literature, drawing upon international scholarship that is at the cutting edge of an expanding field on children, childhood and cultural heritage. Aimed at a wide audience of students, academics, and museum and heritage professionals,Children, Childhood and Cultural Heritageis the first such collection on this topic.

Borneo, the third largest island located in the middle of Southeast Asia, underwent a turbulent decade in the 1940s that to a large extent brought changes and transformations but at the same time retained continuities. The ugly face of war and all the vicissitudes and uncertainties that it entailed dominated the first half of the decade. When war ended there emerged civil troubles and revolutionary struggles. The war experience had impacts on post-war developments, some leading to tragedy while others triumphed over formidable odds.
