Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum Greenville, N.C. Attendance: 4954
GREENVILLE, N.C. --- Senior Corvonn Gaines drained a 3-pointer just before the overtime buzzer, capping a comeback from a 17-point second-half deficit and giving East Carolina a wild 88-85 victory over UCF Saturday night inside Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum. It was Gaines' only shot of the game.
"I knew Miguel was going to try to make a good play and he found me in the corner," Gaines said. "I just let it go."
After UCF senior Keith Clanton, who poured in a career-high 36 points, tied the game by powering to the basket for a layup with 14 seconds to play, Miguel Paul took the inbound pass from the baseline and dribbled into the frontcourt. Paul drove and kicked it out to Gaines for the win.
UCF's hail mary toward the basket fell short and Gaines was mobbed by his teammates.
When asked if he'd ever done that before, Gaines' answer was simple.
"No. That's my first one."
Gaines, who was just 4-of-16 behind the arc this season and only a career 28.8 percent 3-point shooter, hadn't made a 3 since the Massachusetts game and had only three attempts the previous four games.
"C was in the left corner and Miguel made a great pass," ECU Head Coach Jeff Lebo said. "C isn't shooting a high percentage, but sometimes in practice he can make them better than anybody. He stepped in there with some confidence and nailed it. "
Ty Armstrong, Maurice Kemp, Shamarr Bowden and Paul each scored 16 points for ECU (10-5, 1-1 C-USA) with Robert Sampson positing a double-double, netting 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Paul also handed out 11 assists for his first double-double of the season.
Tristan Spulock produced a double-double for UCF (11-5, 1-1 C-USA) with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
The Pirates were able to force overtime after trailing by 17 points, 59-42, with 11:49 to play.
"We've been in this position a gazillion other times this year," Lebo said. "We know it can happen; we know it can happen quickly. There is a lot of stuff that can happen in 11 and a half minutes in a basketball game. We just chipped away, made some key plays and got a couple of stops coming down the stretch."
Kemp started a 12-3 run that brought the Pirates within eight, 62-54, with 7:09 to play. Paris Roberts-Campbell and Bowden both buried 3s during the run. UCF twice pushed its lead back to 10 before Paul converted a 3-point play to cut the Pirates' deficit to seven.
Bowden then sank back-to-back 3s to make it a three-point game, 72-69, with 3:47 to play. After Sampson cut the lead to one with a thunderous dunk, Paul completed a three-point play to tie the game at 72 before Kemp gave ECU its first lead since the 6:25 mark of the first half with a pair of free throws with 59 seconds to play in regulation.
Clanton then tied the game with another power move to basket with 17 seconds left in the second half.
Paul had a chance to win the game, but was striped by Kasey Wilson and the game moved into the extra period.
The two teams traded baskets three times in the extra session before Bowden made a 3-pointer to put the Pirates ahead, 85-83, with 1:20 left.
The Pirates jumped out to an 18-10 lead in the first eight minutes, going 7-of-15 from the field which included 4-of-9 behind the arc. ECU scored nine straight points as Paul buried consecutive 3-pointers with a Roberts-Campbell 3 sandwiched between.
The Knights proceeded to go on a 10-2 run over the next 2:53 to tie the game at 20-all. UCF took the lead for good with 2:49 on basket in the lane by Dylan Karell.
UCF ended the first half on a 12-3 run to take a 36-27 lead into halftime. The Pirates made just two field goals in the final seven minutes as the Knights turned a two-point deficit into a nine-point advantage.
Spurlock gave the Knights' their first double-digit lead on the opening possession of the second half as they pushed their lead to 17 before Kemp's fastbreak layup ignited the crowd rally.

With its proximity to major urban centres, North Delta (population: 49,500+) is a popular choice for residents who enjoy country living, but still want the convenience of access to major urban centres via ferries, airport and major highways.
Subdivisions offer panoramic views of fertile delta farmland and the Fraser River.
Surrey (pop.: 395,000+) is the second largest city in BC and one of the fastest-growing cities in North America. With 88 parks throughout the community, Surrey has earned a reputation as the City of Parks.
At approximately three times the size of Vancouver, Surrey is shedding its "bedroom community" image and is attracting jobs, development and corporate head offices. The new City Centre in Surrey's northwest sector features high-density residential around a retail and business centre connected to Vancouver by rapid transit.
In Surrey's eastern region, Cloverdale, home of the annual Cloverdale Rodeo and harness-racing track, has an "Old West" flavour.
The Langleys (pop.: 117,000+) - including the City of Langley and Township of Langley (Fort Langley and Aldergrove) - are the "happy medium" for light industry that needs access both to Greater Vancouver and to the rest of the province.
Its gently rolling and fertile land has made Langley the Horse Capital of BC.
Langley Municipal Airport is a centre for recreational flying and the heritage village of Fort Langley is a beautifully preserved piece of British Columbia history.
Historic, yet cosmopolitan, White Rock (pop.: 18,755) is the choice of many who enjoy city amenities, yet want proximity to countryside, beaches and ocean.
Overlooking Semiahmoo Bay and the lights of Blaine, Washington, White Rock has the ambiance and rich character of a resort community.

Two views of Federation: inside out, and outside in
By Darin_Pendergraft_Oracle on Oct 17, 2013
IDM customers that I speak to have spent a lot of time thinking about enterprise SSO - asking your employees to log in to multiple systems, each with distinct hard to guess (translation: hard to remember) passwords that fit the corporate security policy for length and complexity is a strategy that is just begging for a lot of help-desk password reset calls. So forward thinking organizations have implemented SSO for as many systems as possible.
With the mix of Enterprise Apps moving to the cloud, it makes sense to continue this SSO strategy by Federating with those cloud apps and services. Organizations maintain control, since employee access to the externally hosted apps is provided via the enterprise account. If the employee leaves, their access to the cloud app is terminated when their enterprise account is disabled. The employees don't have to remember another username and password - so life is good.
From the outside in - I am excited about the increasing use of Social Sign-on - or BYOI (Bring your own Identity). The convenience of single-sign on is extended to customers/users/prospects when organizations enable access to business services using a social ID. The last thing I want when visiting a website or blog is to create another account. So using my Google or Twitter ID is a very nice quick way to get access without having to go through a registration process that creates another username/password that I have to try to remember.
The convenience of not having to maintain multiple passwords is obvious, whether you are an employee or customer - and the security benefit of not having lots of passwords to lose or forget is there as well.
Are enterprises allowing employees to use their personal (social) IDs for enterprise apps? Not yet, but we are moving in the right direction, and we will get there some day.

|Head Coach Cross Country/Asst. Coach Track & Field
BORN: May 11, 1971
HOMETOWN: Ashland, Oregon
COLLEGE: University of Portland (B.S., 1993)
WIFE: Colleen Glyde Julian
CHILDREN: son, Wade (6 years)
COACHING EXPERIENCE: Metropolitan State College (Denver), 2005-09, men's and women's cross country head coach, 2007-09, men's and women's track and field head coach; Regis University (Denver), 2004, volunteer assistant cross country coach; recruiting coordinator; Santa Clara University, 2003, volunteer assistant cross country coach; recruiting coordinator
WSU APPOINTMENT: 2010 - Head Coach Cross Country; 2009 - Assistant cross country/track and field coach
Pete Julian was promoted to the head coach for Washington State cross country in the fall of 2010, one year after joining the Cougar track and cross country coaching staff following a highly successful career as a collegiate coach and professional athlete and coach. Julian coaches the men and women cross country teams in the fall and the middle distance and distance runners during the track and field seasons.
The Cougar men's cross country team had a break-through season with a fifth-place finish at the prestigious Notre Dame Invitational and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA West Regional meet with Andrew Kimpel and Jono Lafler earning USTFCCCA All-Region honors. This was the first WSU team to advance to the NCAA Championships since 2006, and the first Julian-coached WSU team. The Cougar men's team of Kimpel, Lafler, Justin Englund, Andrew Gonzales, Todd Wakefield, Drew Jordan and Lee George finished 21st.
The 2010 cross country season found Julian leading a very young Cougars program with two-thirds of the runners either freshmen or sophomores. Ruby Roberts excelled in her collegiate debut, being the top WSU woman finisher in every race during the fall and broke the school freshman steeplechase record during the spring. Englund earned USTFCCCA All-Region honors with his 25th-place finish at the NCAA West Regional Championships.
During the 2011 track season a pair of freshmen women ran into the record books. Roberts ran the frosh school record in the indoor mile (4:48.97) and Sarah Bobbe tallied freshman record times in the 3000m (9:48.91) and 5000m (17:11.72) only to lower the 5k time outdoors to 16:51.31, 10th-best all-time at WSU. Roberts also ran a 3000m steeplechase time of 10:31.14, fifth-best in school records, while Caroline Austin ran the sixth-best steeple time of 10:32.58. At the 2011 Pac-10 Championships, Austin took eighth in the steeplechase and Matt Cronrath placed sixth in the 1500m.
In Julian's initial season of 2009, the WSU men's team placed seventh at the prestigious Pre-Nationals meet in Terre Haute and received a national ranking for the first time since 2003. The team finished a disappointing sixth at the Pac-10 Championships but the new training routine shows great promise for outstanding results during the 2010 winter and spring track and cross country seasons. Cougar senior Lisa Egami finished 11th at the 2009 NCAA West Regional Cross Country Championships and advanced to the NCAA Championships, the first time in four years a Cougar woman had competed at the national meet.
Julian came to WSU from Metropolitan State College of Denver where he served four seasons as the men's and women's cross country head coach and three seasons as the men's and women's track and field head coach. In 2008-09, he directed the Metro State men's teams to high finishes in the NCAA Div. II Championships: 10th in the Indoor, 16th in the Outdoor and 14th in Cross Country. The Roadrunners' women's cross country team placed 19th nationally in 2008. Under Julian's tutelage, Metro State produced the national 2009 DII indoor and outdoor champion in the men's 800m, Anthony Luna, who ran a school record time of 1:47.90. During Julian's tenure Metro State garnered 11 NCAA All-America distance honors and 37 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference honors for sprints, jumps, distance and relays. The Metro State men's track team also received national academic honors from the United States Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA), finishing in the DII top 20 this year for team grade point average.
From 2005-08, Julian was the director of Tempo Sports, the official distance center of USA Track & Field, in Boulder, Colo., managing and coordinating the elite distance training group. In the summer of 2008, Julian was an assistant coach for the Nike Oregon Project where he assisted world-class athletes leading up to the 2008 Olympic Trials. In 2007 he served as the director of the USA Cross Country Championships and World Team Trials, also in Boulder.
An Oregon native, Julian graduated from Ashland High where he ran for his father, Bob Julian, on the Oregon state high school championship team. He earned four All-America certificates at the University of Portland: three in track and became the first Pilot in school history to earn one in cross country. After graduating with a degree in communications management, Julian spent over 10 years racing professionally in track and road races as a member of Team adidas. He was a member of the United States World Cross Country team in 1997 and 1998, running personal-best times of 3:42 in the 1500m, 13:33 in the 5000m, and 28:05 in the 10,000m. Julian captured the bronze medalist in the 10,000m at the 1999 Pan American Games, and competed in the 10k at the IAAF World Championships in Seville, Spain, that same year.
Prior to Metro State, Julian was a volunteer assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the cross country programs and Santa Clara University and Regis University (Denver).
Julian is married to Colleen Glyde Julian, a former All-American distance runner at the University of Colorado who has a PhD in medical anthropology and is currently serving a fellowship with the Colorado Altitude Research Center in Denver, Colo. The Julians have a son named Wade, in addition to faithful dog named Miles.

The next time you visit Sea World in Orlando or Busch Gardens in Tampa, get ready to shell out more for a single-day admission.
According to Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV, Sea World Parks and Entertainment, the company that owns Sea World and Busch Gardens, announce on May 20th that it was going to raise the price of a single-day, general admission prices at its Florida theme parks.
Admissions to both Sea World Orlando and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will go up to $95 at the gate for adults, which is a $3 raise from the current single-day admission price of $92. Children's admission prices will also go up to $90 at the gate.
The company has said that it will continue to sell discounted tickets online.
Although single-day admission prices are going up, Sea World and Busch Gardens gate prices will still be lower than Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, which both charge nearly $100 for a single-day admission into the parks.
Sea World Parks and Entertainment is keeping in line with other theme parks in Central Florida by encouraging more guest to invest in multi-day passes to visit the parks. The company also announced that the Fun Cards, Sea World's multi-day passes, will also increase by $3.
The increase went into effect as Busch Gardens Tampa Bay prepares to open Falcon's Fury, the world's tallest drop tower ride at 334-foot.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Proofpoint Inc (NASDAQ:PFPT) jumped more than 13% Thursday after the company announced encouraging first-quarter results.
So what: Quarterly revenue rose 39% year over year to $42.7 million, which translated an adjusted loss of $0.12 per share. Analysts, on average, were expecting a wider loss of $0.18 per share on sales of just $40.7 million. Billings for the first quarter also rose to $46.6 million, or an increase of 33% over the same year-ago period.
In addition, Proofpoint expects second-quarter revenue in the range of $43 million to $44 million, and an adjusted loss per share of $0.11 to $0.13. The midpoints of both ranges are ahead of analysts' expectations, which called for a Q2 loss of $0.13 per share on sales of $41.95 million.
Finally, for the full year 2014, Proofpoint sees total revenue in the range of $178 million to $180 million, which should result in an adjusted loss per share of $0.41 to $0.46. By comparison, analysts were modeling 2014 sales and losses per share of $175.85 million and $0.49, respectively.
Now what: CEO Gary Steele added, "Our ability to exceed expectations across all key operating metrics was driven by our continued high win rates across our entire product line, strong renewals, and expansion with our existing customers."
These are solid results by any measure, so I can't blame the market for bidding up shares today. If Proofpoint can continue steadily marching toward sustained profitability, I still see no reason the stock won't continue rewarding investors going forward.
The biggest thing to come out of Silicon Valley in years
But Proofpoint also isn't the only promising tech name out there. To be sure, if you thought the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad were amazing, just wait until you see this. One hundred of Apple's top engineers are busy building one in a secret lab. And an ABI Research report predicts 485 million of them could be sold over the next decade. But you can invest in it right now... for just a fraction of the price of AAPL stock. Click here to get the full story in this eye-opening new report.

Conjugated oligomers and polymers of cis- and ...
|Conjugated oligomers and polymers of cis- and trans-platinum(II)-para- and ortho-bis(ethynylbenzene)quinone diimine.

|Three conjugated polymers of the type (-spacer-CtC-PtL2-CtC-)n, with spacer ) para- and orthobis( diphenyl(tetramethoxy)quinone diimine) and L ) PEt3, were synthesized as the cis- and trans-isomers about the Pt. The three combinations (spacer/PtL2Cl2), ortho/trans, para/trans, and para/cis led to polydispersed polymers, which upon fractionation provided more monodispersed materials with Mn ranging from 3600 to 32400 (GPC). The spacer ortho-bis(diphenylethynyl)tetramethoxyquinone diimine reacts with cis-PtL2Cl2 to form small oligomers and a chelate cyclic complex (7), which was used as a model compound. All materials along with the aryl-CtC-PtL2- CtC-aryl models (L ) PEt3; aryl ) C6H5, 2,4,6-C6H2Me3; 2,4,5-C6H2Me3) were studied by 1H and 31P NMR, IR, UV–vis, TGA, DSC, luminescence spectroscopy, photophysics, and cyclic voltammetry. The UV–vis spectra exhibit an intramolecular low-energy and low-intensity charge transfer band (CT) assigned to π(Ph-CtC) (for organics) and π/dxy((Ph-CtC)2Pt) (for organometallics) to the π*(quinone diimine), as demonstrated by comparison with a corresponding amine derivative (i.e., no CT band) and corroborated by DFT and TDDFT. The polymers and 7 are not luminescent at room temperature (solid and solution). However in 2MeTHF at 77 K, the polymers bearing the combination ortho/trans and para/cis as well as the model compound 7 exhibit higher energy phosphorescence (Tn f S0) originating from the ππ*/dxy((Ph-CtC)2Pt) excited states. A correlation between the structural parameters (angle made by the PtP2(CtC)2 vs the aryl planes, angle made by the aryl and the quinone diimine planes, molecular weight) with the calculated oscillator strength, absorptivities, and the observed position of the lowest energy absorption bands is demonstrated. Finally, upper energy delayed fluorescence (Sn f S0) was detected for the polymers and 7 at 77 K and was assigned to T1-T1 interactions via aggregation as its intensity varies with the concentration.

The time for the EU and the eurozone to confront the sovereign debt crisis has finally arrived!
European leaders have made substantial progress during last week's talks. However, the final decisions on the future of the eurozone and the Greek debt crisis will be taken during on Wednesday during a new EU leaders' meeting. For this reason, our webinar scheduled to take place tomorrow (Tuesday) has been postponed till Thursday, 27th October, at 15:00 CET.
Is the European banks' recapitalisation, the updated Greek package and a reinforced European Financial Stability Facility really an answer to the economic and financial challenges the EU is facing?
Our host Richard Werly, the renowned Brussels correspondent for Le Temps, will provide a just-in-time briefing, summarising the gist of the talks and the decisions taken by the EU leaders. Richard is following the talks live from Brussels, and will be able to answer questions and concerns about the future of the euro.
Registrations are now closed.
26 October 2011
Maybe this visualisation of the Euro Crisis from the New York Times could be a useful background reading for those preparing to attend the webinar: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/10/23/sunday-review/an-overview-of-the-euro-crisis.html

Norman Allen Fischer, 84, of Hooker, Oklahoma passed away February 13, 2013 at the home after a long-term illness.
Norman was born Aug. 20, 1928, at home five miles west of Hooker, the son of Louis Friedrick and Ruth Fern Finfrock Fischer. Norman rode a pony to attend Prairie Rose country school near the family farm west of Hooker. In the mid-to-late 1930s, the family lived in Liberal and Manhattan, Kan. They returned to Hooker in 1942, where Norman graduated in 1946 from Hooker High School. After a year at Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell, Norman attended Amarillo Business College for a semester before returning home to help his dad farm.
Norman married his sweetheart Joyce Marie Williams on July 31, 1949; they celebrated 53 years together in 2002. They farmed and reared five children: Linda, Dick, Tom, Harry and Carla. In 1982, the couple built a new home in town, where they lived until Joyce's death in 2002.
After a few years on his own, Norman was blessed with another special partner, the widow of a lifelong friend, John Fox of Hardesty and Guymon. Norman and Ruth Costner Fox were married Feb. 13, 2005.
The Fischer Brothers farming partnership was created in 1956 by Norman, Don and Allan. When Fischer Brothers dissolved the partnership, Norman went to work with sons Dick, Tom and Harry in their Okie Acres partnership until Norman's retirement in 2005.
Throughout his life, Norman loved working the land. He loved watching the weather, waiting on God for the rain to fall, and enjoying the beauty of sunrises and sunsets on the high plains. He served a number of years on the Texas County Irrigation Board. One avocation he enjoyed for several years was flying small airplanes, where he could see even more of creation.
Norman was a devout Christian. As a young person, he accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He enjoyed church music, was a long-time church choir singer and occasionally led congregational singing at First Baptist Church. He was a long-time deacon and was named deacon emeritus in 2004, honoring his many years of service to the church. The Baptist Student Union of Oklahoma Panhandle State University recognized him in 2001 for 22 years of faithful service as a member of the Panhandle Baptist Association committee for the BSU. He was generous with his encouragement and support of young Christians and ministers.
Norman was also a steadfast singer in barbershop quartets. He joined in 1957, and it became a family affair. Two of his son, Dick and Harry, have been active in the association. Norman was honored by the Barbershop Harmony Society in 2007 for 50 years membership. His barbershop connection gave him an opportunity to travel to conventions and events all over the country. He enjoyed travelling with Joyce and later Ruth to see friends and relatives. He was a regular at annual Fischer Family Reunions around Hudson, Kansas, gatherings of the extended family of his grandpa Fred Fischer.
Preceding Norman in death were his parents Louis and Ruth, stepmother Mary Fischer, brother Allan, wife Joyce, sister-in-law Marjorie Fischer, niece Lu Ann Fischer Miller, and brother-in-law Leland and Leanore Williams.
Norman's surviving family is extensive. They are wife Ruth of the home. Five children Linda Fischer and Jim Armstrong of Denver, Colo.; Dick and Billye Fischer and Harry and Emilie Fischer of Hooker; Tom and Patsy Fischer of Liberal, Kan.; and Carla and Danny Thomas of Mooreland. Stepchildren Johnita and Bobby Gloden, Hough, Okla. and Mike and Lanae Fox of Weatherford, Texas. Grandchildren: Andrew Beard of New Hope, Minn., Matthew Beard of Chicago, Ill., Kevin and Rachel Armstrong and Clare Armstrong of Denver; Angela and Courtney Flanagan of Hooker, Leigh Ann and Casey King of Cheyenne, Okla; Nathan and Heather Fischer of Hiram, Ga., Aaron and Lyndsy Fischer of Warner Robins, Ga.; Julie and Shane Lehr and Anthony Jackson of Alva, Okla.; Trista, TaLisa and Tyler Fischer of Hooker; Derrick and Chesnei Thomas of Alva, Brett and LaurenThomas of Alva, Matthew Thomas of Mooreland, and Katelyn Thomas of Alva. Step-grandchildren Misty and Kyle Bartels, Hough, Okla. and Sarah, Jonathan and Haley Fox of Weatherford, Texas. Great-grandchildren: Mia Lawrence Armstrong of Denver, Gabe, Maddie and Jared Flanagan of Hooker; Caleigh and Caleb King of Cheyenne; Hunter, Chase and Chloe Fischer of Hiram, Ga.; Ryleigh, Luke and Kyle Fischer of Warner Robbins, Ga.; Endy Barraza and Chloe and London Ann Lehr of Alva, Okla.; Trace Thomas of Alva, and Baby Thomas soon to be born to Derrick and Chesnei of Alva . Step great-grandchild Seth Bartels of Hough.
Other survivors include brother Donald and Wanda and his sister-in-law Carolyn Fischer all of Hooker, brothers-in-law Allen and Elsie Williams of Elgin, Ore. and Gerald and Nancy Williams of LaCygne, Kan. Nephews and nieces and their families: Kent Fischer and Bryan Fischer of Oklahoma City, Roger and Marilyn Fischer and Fred and Anastasia Fischer of Hooker, and Willie Williams, Aladine Williams, Debra Sturdevant and Amy Debell of Elgin, Ore. and Tony Williams and Todd Williams of LaCygne, Kan. and Denise Aunko of Oklahoma City. He is also survived by many cousins and caregivers Anna Hackett, Stephanie Harness, and Carolyn Montoya.
Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m., Monday, February 18, 2013 at the First Baptist Church of Hooker with Brother Don Taylor and Pastor Jim Roebuck officiating. Interment will be in the Hooker Cemetery directed by Robert Brothers Funeral Home in Hooker, OK.
Memorials may be made to the Lu Ann Fischer Memorial Swimming Pool or the Baptist Children's Home and may be left at the Roberts Brothers Funeral Home, Box 745, Hooker, Oklahoma 73945.

Instead make a statement with bold colors and layers of sparkles that is created at-home using KISS Salon Secrets with the help of celebrity manicurist, Gina Edwards, who performs nail magic on the runways and on starlets. Find your nail inspiration with these expert tips from Gina who designed the blue crisscross gem encrusted nail art.
- Dab the dotting tool with the topcoat to pick up rhinestones or jewels. This helps them 'stick' to the tool so you can easily place them onto the nail.
- Don't worry about length when using foil tape; use cuticle scissors to cut excess after your pattern is in place.
- You can never use enough glitter!
- If applying glitter to an imPRESS shade, paint the clear base/top coat onto the area you plan to apply the glitter to make it stick
Masako Sasaki is an award-winning, international nail expert whose innovative work has been featured on the runways of NYFW and in top fashion magazines. Follow her tips below on how to perfect the sparkly garden color nails as seen in the slideshow.
- When applying glitter to concentrated areas of the nail, use the flat brush dampened in a bit of polish remover to pick up the glitter; pat designated area with the tip of the brush.

While a Grammy Award remains out of Justin Bieber's sight for another year, the boy wonder seems to be putting all that behind him. He just confirmed that he's working on his next project: an acoustic album.
Bieber is currently in New York City, where he will play Z100's Jingle Ball on Friday (December 7) night, and is hard at work on his next batch of songs. "been writing alot…new stuff…and yeah. the acoustic album, new arrangements, is happening… #withdankanter," he tweeted on Thursday. Hours later, he added, "blessed to do what we do everyday. i love music. thanks."
The tweet seems to also imply that Bieber is working on a number of new tunes, both acoustic and otherwise. Bieber's tease also hints that the acoustic album may focus on tracks he's already released (perhaps off June's Believe ?), but he's putting a brand-new spin on them. However, fans will have to wait until he drops something to find out just what it is he is up to.
been writing alot…new stuff…and yeah. the acoustic album, new arrangements, is happening… #withdankanter
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December6, 2012
And whatever it is he is recording is already getting rave reviews. He got two thumbs up from his pal, The Wanted's Nathan Sykes. He tweeted, "yeah man. People ain't gonna know what to think when they hear the new tunes #nextlevel see ya later bro."
This is not Bieber's first foray into unplugged music. In 2010 he released My Worlds Acoustic . That album featured re-visited versions of some of his most memorable tunes, including "Baby" and "One Less Lonely Girl." It also included a new track, "Pray."
At the time, he explained to MTV News that he wanted to use the acoustic album to show all his critics that he's a talented singer who doesn't rely on studio magic. "I really think that I did an acoustic album because there's a lot of haters out there that say, 'Justin Bieber can't sing. His voice is all Auto-Tuned,' " he shared at the time. "And there's a lot with production, it kind of drowns out your voice, and it takes away from the singer, over the synths and everything."
He further explained in that vintage interview, "I think kind of stripping it down and having it kind of really mellow and being able to hear my voice is why I wanted to do it."
Which songs would you like to hear on Justin Bieber's acoustic album and why? Drop the titles and your comments below!

Tim Hendricks, Treasurer
Nichole Wrin, Voting Member
Notices …
The Board Met on 11/12/2010 to further discuss issues brought to us by Homeowner's from the 10/27/2010 meeting. The following are notes from that meeting.
We are pursuing a change to Covenant #11.4 regarding Parking and Prohibited Vehicles;
The Board has Okayed the purchase of a permanent trash receptacle at the Large Common Area (Basketball Goal);
Street Light & Mailbox on Treving Drive needs repaired.;
Association Dues – we currently have only 3 residents that are 2-years behind and 4 that are 1-year behind. The board is moving forward to place a lien on the homes of said residents. Our budget is very tight and for us to move forward with needed improvements requires the cooperation of everyone. o20
The agenda for our recent Homeowner meeting was as follows:
1) Nominations/Election for the Secretary and 5th Voting Member of the board.
2) General up keep
a. Tree Line with Edgewater
b. Parking
i. Discussion about commercial vehicles and present covenants
3) Mail Box Fund
a. Start to accumulate a fund for Mail Box replacement
4) Other Business
a. Coach lights
b. Curb Damage
c. Review of drainage issue
We would like to thank Sumer Byrum our Secretary for the 2009-2010 Board Terms for her service to the GVHOA Board. Pam Walters (Secretary) and Nichole Wrin (Voting Member) were elected to fill the open spots, and will both serve a 1-year term.
Steve Peachey has met with the new owners of Edgewater, our neighbor to the north, in regards to our shared Tree Line. We will be working together to clean-up the area and see that it is maintained as we move forward.
The parking discussion is in 2 forms. The 1st is both a parking and safety issue. We as a community need to be sure that we are keeping our Bus Stop areas free from vehicles and sidewalks clear and accessible. The 2nd involves covenant 11.4 Parking and Prohibited Vehicles.
We had an open discussion involving a special fund for the replacement of damaged mail boxes. The item was tabled at this time and maybe reviewed at a later date.
To meet the guidelines imposed by the Town of Cicero regarding the lighting in Greystone Village. Street lights are installed at prominent points within our sub-division. To supplement the safety within our community, each home has 2 coach lights installed on their garage that operate by photo-cell. As per covenant 11.18, said lights are to be maintained by the homeowner and burn at dusk everyday. We currently have 18 homes without either light and 6 homes with only 1 light burning. It is a fact that break-ins occur where criminals have the least amount of risk – please do not set yourself or your family up to be an easy target.

How to Browse the Windows Store from Win8.1
To order an app, tap or click the app's tile.
The Store takes you directly to the ordering screen for the app. For example, if you tap or click the tile for the Kindle app, you see the ordering page.
On the left, you see an overview of the app and you can get a more detailed feature list by clicking or tapping on the Show More link. Slide to the right, and you see the Ratings and Reviews. Even farther to the right, and you should see a release history (except for Microsoft's own Metro apps, of course), list of permissions required, languages, and links to the manufacturer's site.
The star rating shouldn't impress you — it's the accumulated wisdom of all the people who've bothered to rate the app. But the supported languages section, if there is one, may be of interest — and the permissions list is detailed and thorough. At the very least, you can vent your spleen on the Reviews page if the app doesn't live up to your expectations.

Photographic truth and documentary photography
Does a photograph represent "truth?" What makes it truthful? When is it untruthful? If it does convey truth, whose truth is it? These questions have been with photography since its origins. They have become more pressing with the advent of digital photography and the ease with which a digital image can be manipulated. They are… Read more »

The New York International Auto Show is a major stop on the world's auto show circuit. Like so much else in New York, it's big, it's loud, and it's one of the industry's highest-profile stages.
The Motley Fool's Rex Moore and John Rosevear were in New York last week for the two days devoted to events for the world's automotive and financial media -- and they've captured the highlights to share with you through the magic of video.
One of the highlights of the second day of the New York show was a Fiat Chrysler (NASDAQOTH:FIATY) event showing off the all-new 2015 Jeep Renegade. It wasn't an "unveiling", exactly -- the Jeep was first shown in Geneva back in March -- but it was the U.S. debut of the latest product from a very American brand.
This Jeep, though, was created with a global market in mind. Small SUVs and crossovers, particularly premium ones, have been a white-hot product segment in markets all over the world for a while now. With newly merged Fiat Chrysler looking to build out a global presence for Jeep, perhaps the greatest SUV brand of them all, a new small Jeep made a great deal of business sense.
As John and Rex explain in this video, the new Jeep may look a little cutesy -- but it will be offered in "Trail Rated" versions that should give it more off-road capability than most of its rivals. Join John and Rex for a closer look at this new Jeep, and then scroll down to leave a comment with your thoughts.

Reach : Bunker Canyon
Greetings and salutations fellow Toggers, I call a recruitment for Testers, For those who play Reach, I would like some assistance for placing Spawns, Weapons, and general play testing feedback.
So if we could, I would like to get a full 16 Players together to test and bring in some of that good feedback.
We will use this topic to set up a time, and a date to get together. I plan on releasing this map for the entire Bungie Community, but would like some rather mature people to test with first. As some of the Halo Community is less then respectable.
Ill post some screenshots of the map I got so far in and around 30 minutes from now. So stay tuned to this topic!!!

Reserved For Pictures
The 3 pictures that are similar are representing Red Base, Blue Base, and Blue Base top down view. The other picture is a structure near the middle of the map that will constitute middle base, or just something to fight in, around, and such.
Also if it was Neutral Assault, the bomb would spawn there.
Obviously this map isn't quite done yet, and more work will progress, and hopefully we will have a new great map to play on.
(Edited added Pictures cause Upload Failed)

Alright, I don't have pictures just yet, and I might not take them, as uploading and deleting from file share on Reach seems to take FOREVER..... *mumbles* Anyway...
I added a extra cliff side to blue base on both sides of the canyon, well, the one cliff side was there already, but I just kinda made it so you can walk all the way around it, and instead of going through the caverns like on Hemorrhage they have been Blocked off. There is a teleport in between were the normal cave entrances would be if they weren't blocked off, that leads into a tunnel that leads you to the middle structure bottom floor. The place where the teleport drops you off is a very loose thread of a idea, meaning it might not make it into the final map, but for now, the amusing idea of how it works currently is the reason I made it. But for balancing issues, it might be thrown out. I also added two "sniper bunker towers" near both main bases that provide a decent shelter to snipers who prefer to defend a set zone. Once again, this is like the teleport, they might not remain, due to balancing and $$$ count on the map, Just in case we need the extra budget those are the first to go.
I still need weapon, player, and Objective spawns to be placed, but I wanna do that "last" as it is the hardest, and Want the over all feel of the map finished first.
I just realized I am Squad Leader, so don't make me pull rank here and issue a order to assist!! *laughs* Volunteers please step up and Ill.....pretend to pin a medal on your shirt.

Well, due to the overwhelming support.....yes, that is sarcasm, this project is canceled.
Though this isnt the only reason, Apparently I am banned from Halo Reach for 10 minutes, because I quit, while, yes, 10 minutes is not even worth to bitch about, its the reason behind it, I am constantly teamed with team killers, and when I cant boot them for betraying me, I leave. I am simply not enjoying the game because of this stupid quit rule, where I am forced to do something or stay in a situation where i cant seem to have fun. if I quit, I am banned, if I stay in the match, i get frustrated, and want to smash the game because its not fun, if I walk away from the game during that match, I am also being punished due to the fact that team killers apparently won the "fight".
So yea, for all of you halo fans, keep enjoying it, while this game is officially done. I don't need any more headaches over this shit.

Vintage razors.

Vintage razors.
Reloading supplies, tools, and musical instruments.
Some might say I collect dogs (with 5 here), I'd say I collect "land mines" from the back yard!
My thoughts. If I can ever get the time:blink:
I make and collect fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and rollerball pens. I also collect baseball cards with an emphasis on Texas Rangers.
Ammo, knives, some coins, nascar diecast, tools.
I have 2 Antique Volkswagen Bugs (1962 Hippymobile and a 1963 Herbie the Love Bug). I have sold my 1964 Karman Ghia and my 1979 Corvette.
My Dad bought Herbie in April of 1966 and was our family car when I was growing up. My parents brought me home from the hospital when I was born in that car. Literally the first car I ever rode in. It took me 3 years to restore it.
The Hippy Bug is my retro nostalgia project that I'm painting free hand and doing all of the stuff myself. It rolls together my love of old cars, VWs, 60s music, 60s art, and painting.
I then decided it was much easier to collect Hotwheels and Matchbox VW Bugs than the life size. I have about 200 different ones dating from the late 60s to today. The pics attached are just a very small sample of my display (in my man room, with all of my car trophies and other tacky stuff).
I'd love to see some. I really love the exotic materials used. I bought my husband a buffalo horn one, and he uses it for work.Quote:

Here's some of my camera collection. These are just some of the Kodaks; I took this picture when the company folded. :frown:

Here's one of my favorites, a Mercury II. It's 1/2 35mm with a rotary shutter.

YOUNGSTOWN — The decomposed body of a man reported missing on June 12 was found today inside the basement of a vacant three-plex apartment building at 309 W. Glenaven Ave. on the South Side.
Lawrence Anderson, 22, of East Pasadena Avenue was identified by a tattoo on his arm, said Rick Jamrozik, a coroner's investigator. The body was sent to Cleveland for autopsy, Jamrozik said. A ruling on the death is pending autopsy results.
Police were sent to the vacant building to check out a foul smell, reports show.
When Anderson's mother reported him missing earlier this month she told police that she'd heard from several juveniles that he was dead and had been burned up in a car.
I feel bad for his family. I watched the news last week and his mom and sister was crying saying it wasn't like him to not call them or show up. His mom suspected that he was probably dead but my heart goes out to his family and friends. Now they have closure but noone deserves to lose their life like this and no family deserves to go through this pain.

Parents Ian and Nicola Richardson, of Kirkhill Bank, Cubley, have hosted Alexander's Charity Ball for the past four years since their young son died from sudden infant death syndrome in February 2007.
This year's event, in Leeds on Saturday, raised more than £27,000 for The Lullaby Trust, which aims to prevent unexpected deaths in infancy, taking the family's fund-raising total to in excess of £81,000.

Monday night's matchup between the Saints and Philadelphia Eagles in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome will bring together two teams a lot of people thought would be much better than they are when the season started.
As October turns to November, however, both the Saints (2-5) and Eagles (3-4) find themselves with their backs to the wall, facing a must-win situation to keep their seasons afloat.
Both teams will be looking for bounce-back performances this week after the Saints dropped a 34-14 decision to the Denver Broncos, while the Eagles fell to the Atlanta Falcons, 30-17.
The Saints struggled on both sides of the ball against the Broncos.
Their offense dropped five spots in the NFL rankings to eighth after picking up a season-low 252 yards. The defense didn't drop because they couldn't and remain last in the league in allowing 474.7 yards a game after the Broncos piled up 530 yards.
Here are the pertinent numbers for Monday night's matchup (NFL rank in parentheses):
Offense: Total yards, 388.6 (8); rushing, 72.6 (32); passing, 316.0 (1); scoring, 27.1 (6).
Defense: Total yards, 474.7 (32); rushing, 170.1 (31); passing, 304.6 (30); scoring, 30.9 (30).
Offense: Total yards, 363.4 (17); rushing, 117.7 (10); passing, 245.7 (15); scoring, 17.1 (t28).
Defense: Total yards, 339.6 (12); rushing, 110.4 (17); passing, 229.1 (14); scoring, 22.1 (16).

Amanda Palmer had a wardrobe malfunction at a concert on Friday night and flashed her boob at the cheering crowd.
Amanda was performing live at the Glastonbury festival in Britain with her band The Grand Theft Orchestra, and when she was singing with gusto, her breast escaped from her black bra and the crowds went crazy with delight.
Amanda was in no mood to sulk, and went on to rip her shirt open to display her stomach, which had "yes" written on it.
The crowds were in for a special treat by the former Dresden Dolls star, and got a lot more than what they had anticipated!

Sussex County Habitat for Humanity received a few extra helping hands at its build projects in Georgetown and Seaford April 8. Close to 400 hands to be more specific.
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, based in Milton, contributed its nearly 200 employees to three Habitat sites in Sussex County. As the sun shined bright over their heads, employees from both the brewery in Milton and the restaurant in Rehoboth grabbed hammers, nails, wood and sheaths and worked all day to raise the walls on the three structures that area families will soon call home.
The effort was all part of the brewery's day of service, an annual event that gets the workers out of their everyday routines and into the community to give back. The brewery and the restaurant were shut down for the day so that the employees could take part.
Mariah Calagione, who shares ownership of Dogfish Head with her husband Sam, is no stranger to Habitat for Humanity. For years, her mother has been offering up the volunteer opportunity as a Christmas present to her and her siblings. When it came time to find a community organization to support, she and Sam knew Habitat was the perfect fit.
This is the fourth year Dogfish has teamed with Habitat for Humanity, she said. While Maria was working on the sites in Georgetown Monday, Sam could be found at the Habitat site on King Road in Seaford.
"We wanted to do something where we could get all our people together to do something real, where we could get our hands dirty and see the end result," Mariah said. "As the company's grown, we needed something that would keep enough of us busy. This is great because of all the different tasks that need to be done."
The project is a staple of the company's Beer & Benevolence program, which aims to find creative ways to collaborate with nonprofits in the community.
Sussex County Habitat for Humanity currently has two active build sites in Georgetown Point, one of which being part of the organization's Veteran's Build project.
Mari Ellyn Hellard, a former member of the U.S. Air Force, is the recipient of that home. The house is anticipated to be complete by September, at which time Hellard will move in with her two children.
"I feel so blessed to be a part of this," Hellard said.
This one day of work that Dogfish contributed will save SCHFH 1,200 hours of volunteer time, totaling approximately a month and a half of work on a normal schedule, in the end accelerating the build process that much faster, said Tom Protack, community engagement director for Sussex County Habitat for Humanity.
"We usually have 15 people on a job site on a given day," he said. "Very rarely do we have 200 volunteers on hand all at one time."
Page 2 of 2 - From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Dogfish Head employees worked at six stations, working on the walls to plating the floor to getting a jump start on the porch.
"We have a great relationship with Dogfish," Protack said. "Sam and Mariah have been wonderful."
The company plans to continue partnering with Habitat, Mariah said, and looks forward to its day of service each year.
"It's a lot of fun for us," she said. "It gives our employees a chance to work with people they may not work with on a daily basis. They really seem to enjoy it."

In order to affect a leave of absence, a student must submit to the Dean a formal letter, or the appropriate college form, and should then have an interview with the Dean. The request for a leave of absence may be countersigned by the student's parents or legal guardian. The parents or guardians may, if they wish and if authorized by the student, submit the official request for a leave of absence. In consultation with the student, the parents, and other campus offices as applicable, the Dean will determine what issues should be addressed during the period of the leave.
Leave of absence should normally be for no more than a year. When the student feels that he or she is ready to return to the University, the student should request an interview (which may be by telephone) with the college Dean.

Ever wonder why you bother trying so hard? Maybe it's time to let a few things go.
New research out of the University of Notre Dame finds being ambitious doesn't always lead to happiness, according to a press release from the school.
"If ambition has its positive effects, and in terms of career success it certainly seems that it does, our study also suggests that it carries with it some cost," management professor Timothy Judge, lead author of the study, says in the release. "Despite their many accomplishments, ambitious people are only slightly happier than their less- ambitious counterparts, and they actually live somewhat shorter lives."
Judge's research found ambitious kids went to more esteemed schools, worked in more prestigious careers and made more money.
"So, it would seem that they are poised to 'have it all,' " Judge says in the release. "However, we determined that ambition has a much weaker effect on life satisfaction and actually a slightly negative impact on longevity. So, yes, ambitious people do achieve more successful careers, but that doesn't seem to translate into leading happier or healthier lives."
See, it really is OK to relax a little. We're feeling happier already.

Stay hungry
50 Cent and the true potential of the game
By David Cotner 06/03/2010
It's one thing for a rapper to take shots from critics and other artists, but when a rapper takes multiple gunshots in a drive-by sneak attack, he enters a whole other universe of acclaim. Rapper, gunshot victim and impresario 50 Cent — born in 1978 in Queens, New York, as Curtis James Jackson III — has, for the past decade, taken on so many new enterprises that it seems at every turn is a rebirth. Approaching a level of cross-promotion rivaled possibly only by KISS, Jackson has turned his sights on film and the publishing world, most notably with his recent collaboration, The 50th Law, with popular determinist writer Robert Greene on the tailor-made update to Greene's brutal self-help book The 48 Laws of Power. 50 Cent has also rather cannily branded his identity on everything from condoms to body spray to vitamin water, making an estimated $100 million for the sale of his stake in Vitaminwater parent company Glacéau, which sold to Coca-Cola in 2007 for slightly north of $4 billion. He recently surprised interested bystanders when photographs emerged online of his drastic weight loss in preparation for his role as a cancer-stricken athlete in the upcoming film Things Fall Apart. This recalls the weight loss suffered in the aftermath of his attempted assassination in 2000; he was able to consume only liquids during recovery. His fourth album, the gold-selling Before I Self-Destruct came out in November, marking the launch of his national "The Invitation" tour, which he discussed with VCReporter the day before he hit the road.
VCReporter: I saw the photos of you having lost all that weight. How are you doing?
50 Cent: (Laughs) I'm fine. The (Things Fall Apart) film is an exciting project for me. I was motivated to write this screenplay based on a relationship — me and my best friend, growing up. He died of cancer a few years ago, and that's what made me create the football character that's hit with the illness. It's been an amazing project — myself, Mario Van Peebles, the director; Ray Liotta. The first half of the film I shot when I weighed about 214. I went on my international tour and trained the entire time I was out there. I came back and I made it to, like, 160 pounds.
VCR: You went on an all-water diet?
I was just on liquids. It wasn't just straight water until I got back. It was really hard, but when it got to the third week of being on just liquids I started looking at Christian Bale's weight loss in The Machinist, and a film called Hunger [about '80s IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands], where the actual actor did the physical transformation. Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, too.
VCR: When you were on the liquid diet, did you drink Vitaminwater?
I didn't have any! I was overseas, and a lot of the time I was drinking regular water. Some brand of water I don't even know where it comes from.
VCR: You don't get a lifetime supply as part of the sale of the Vitaminwater Company?
They're supposed to send it to me, but it's not like they just mail it to me all the time.
VCR: When you were on the diet, what food did you miss most?
Everything that came on television! (Laughs.) There was a point at which a commercial would come on and I'd be hungry based on seeing the commercial — just seeing the food alone would spark something. The physical part of the training, for instance — running on the treadmill a lot helped, because it was suppressing my appetite. After coming back from that, I'd feel the exhaustion of the physical activity as opposed to feeling hungry.
VCR: But was there one thing that you really missed that, when you went off the diet, you went and got it and let no one stand in your way?
The first thing I had to eat when I got off the diet was a 12-ounce filet mignon, and I ate about three bites of it. I was content with that because it's what I wanted to eat. Then I had macaroni, potatoes, stuff like that. And I remember — it was the day that Floyd Mayweather was fighting Shane Mosley — I tried to go to a sports bar so I could watch the fight and I was falling asleep in there because the hunger just made me tired.
VCR: When you went off the diet and you had just regular food, did you find that your senses — your sense of taste and your sense of smell — changed at all?
I don't think they changed, but for me, coming off the diet was just about the excitement — I was eating everything!
Pop-Tart heaven!
VCR: What flavor?
Cinnamon! (Laughs) I was eating a bunch of stuff — all kinds of junk food. Everything, trying to put the weight back on. I know I have to be back out in public.
VCR: Speaking of senses changing — when you listen to music, having worked with it for such a long time, has your perception of it changed, overall?
Absolutely. It's becoming a case of more of the older sounds coming back, too — like Kanye West's new single ["Power," featuring Dwele] reminds me of [Toni Basil's] "Mickey," — with the handclaps, and the way the record feels. It feels like something from the past. It recycles, like fashion recycles. Like Erykah Badu, when she first came out, the rap from her was so old that it sounded new, it felt new.
VCR: What did you think of the nude Erykah Badu video for her recent song "Window Seat"?
I was extremely entertained by it. I didn't understand why, conceptually, she chose that for that song. I spent more time looking at it online than on television. I spent more time thinking what she was thinking.
VCR: So you're in support of more Erykah Badu-related nudity?
I can't say that I'm opposed to it! It wouldn't be a negative thing — I mean, it didn't make me throw up! (Laughs).
VCR: Tell me about the new book with Robert Greene.
The 50th Law — it's doing great! It's a different territory that I went in. On tour I was having book releases at the same time, doing some book signings.
VCR: It's based on Greene's book The 48 Laws of Power?
VCR: Well, what happened to the 49th Law?
(Pause.) We skipped it! (Laughs.)
VCR: So what was it?
The 49th Law is "Read the 50th." (Laughs.)
VCR: Now that you're on tour and you've toured all over the world, is there a place that you've never toured that you want to?
I haven't been to Alaska. I've pretty much been everywhere else. Why not? We've got this myth of Alaska, with the Eskimos and everything, but it might be a lot different.
50 Cent appears Saturday, June 5, at the Ventura Theater, 26 S. Chestnut St., Ventura. 653-0721, www.venturatheater.net.

Arguably Gordon Lish's masterpiece, Peru begins with its narrator announcing, There is nothing which I will not tell you if I can think of it. Gradually, the story of a dark childhood secret-real or imagined-unfolds: in 1940, six-year-old Gordon murdered his harelipped rival, Steven Adinoff, in a Long Island sandbox . . . (unless he didn't). Peru's narrator weaves together strands of disconnected, mesmerizing trivia, resurrecting memories of the mundane suburban childhood that spawned a killing: the sense of tedium on an endless summer day; the squishy sounds of a hoe digging into flesh. Ambiguous, complex, inventive, and subversively comic, Peru is a compendium of unnerving observations about memory, violence, obsession, and the potential horror behind the facade of an ordinary life.

The Bruins had a strong start on uneven bars, scoring 49.375 to take an early .250 lead. Danusia Francis led off with a strong routine punctuated by a stuck dismount and scored 9.825. Hallie Mossett also stuck her dismount and scored 9.875, a score that was matched by Sydney Sawa. After Courtney's 9.825, Sophina DeJesus and Samantha Peszek closed it out with back-to-back 9.9s.
The Bruins continued their success on vault in the second rotation. Jennifer Pinches led off with a 9.8, followed by a career-high 9.85 by Mossett. Sawa scored 9.8, and Sadiqua Bynum recorded a 9.725. Again, the final two Bruins hit back-to-back 9.9s, with Peszek and Courtney helping to lift UCLA's vault score to 49.25. Arizona kept pace by scoring 49.275 on bars, and the Bruins entered the third rotation up 98.625-98.400.
UCLA extended its lead in a big way by scoring a season-high 49.5 on floor exercise. Beginning with Pinches' leadoff 9.8, each subsequent routine scored progressively higher, with Mossett earning 9.85 and DeJesus 9.875. Bynum tied her career-high with a 9.9, Courtney earned a 9.925, and Sawa finished with a 9.95 to win floor for the fifth-straight meet.
With UCLA up 148.125-146.975 heading into the last rotation, the Bruins looked to finish strong on beam. Mossett led off with a 9.85 that brought her all-around total to a career-high 39.425. DeJesus had a fall on her flight series but finished the rest of her routine strong, scoring 9.35. Courtney had a questionable connection on her acro series, so she added a backhandspring/layout into her routine that she hit with ease to ensure a 10.0 start value. She finished with a final score of 9.85 to give her an all-around season-best of 39.5. Peszek hit another near flawless beam routine, scoring 9.9. Francis showed no deductions in her routine, nailing her sideways side aerial to full-twisting dismount and scoring a career-high-tying 9.95. Sawa closed with a 9.825 to give the Bruins a 49.375 beam total and a season-best 197.5 team score. The Bruins' team total bested their previous season high by over half a point.
Bruins took the top three spots in the all-around, with Courtney winning for the second-straight meet with a 39.5.
