I have tried this bath oil a few times and I really liked it. The genius wasn't me but it was Suparna Trikha's Book of Natural Skin Care. As I've stated before, she has some great tips and natural recipes.
- 4 tsp peppermint oil
- the juice of 2 lemons. I used to either squeeze fresh lemons or the bottles with pre-squeezed lemon juice.
- 4 tsp almond oil
- 4 tsp geranium oil
- 2 tsp camphor
Just mix the ingredients together and add 1 tsp to your bath.

The man behind the Innocence of Muslims, the movie that triggered violence in the Middle East, has been sentenced to death in absentia in an Egyptian court. Mark Basseley Youssef - also known by several other names - was among seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor sentenced on charges linked to the low-budget anti-Islam film, Associated Press reported. Most of the defendants live in the United States and all are outside Egypt, so are unlikely to ever serve the sentences. The charges were brought in September during a wave of public outrage in Egypt over the film. The movie trailer, which was posted online, portrays the prophet Muhammad as a fraud and womaniser. Egypt's official news agency said the court found the defendants guilty of harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information - charges that carry the death sentence. Mr Youssef, 55, was sentenced in a California court this month to a year in federal prison for probation violations on a bank-fraud case.

Re: Using CryptoAPI to do a DH key exchange with OpenSSL
- From: lelteto <lelteto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2006 08:20:01 -0800
PUBLICKEYBLOB is defined in the Platform SDK. However, I am not familiar with
the DH public key format in CAPI. (I can help with RSA public key format)
And right now it seems Microsoft screwed up its MSND Web pages - nothing can
be found :( hope they will fix it. soon...
The PUBLICKEYSTRUC is here:
typedef struct _PUBLICKEYSTRUC {
BYTE bType;
BYTE bVersion;
WORD reserved;
ALG_ID aiKeyAlg;
typedef struct _PUBKEY {
DWORD magic;
DWORD bitlen;
This must always be set to DH1 (0x31484400) when used for public-key BLOBs
typedef struct _PUBKEYVER3 {
DWORD magic;
DWORD bitlenP;
DWORD bitlenQ;
DWORD bitlenJ;
DSSSEED DSSSeed;
This must always be set to 0x33484400, the ASCII encoding of "DH3".
Maybe this helps...

returned from the other side. Calling CryptImportKey likely won't work
because it is expecting a blob in MS CryptoAPI format (whatever that
is). I saw some docs regarding PUBLICKEYBLOB, but not sure what to
enter for the headers. Then I started wondering how WinInet is able to
do a DH key exchange when doing an SSL connection to an OpenSSL server,
for example.

The public key (blob) format in MS CAPI is completely different than in other

byte order, other libs (Cryptoki, OpenSSL, etc) are using the big endian =
network byte order. You would need to convert between the two formats.

Hi there,
I'm trying to perform a DH key exchange between 2 parties. I can do it
if both ends are using the same crypto lib. But if one end is MS
CryptoAPI and the other is say OpenSSL, then I have problems. OpenSSL
<-> RSA BSAFE is ok, as is any other combination of OpenSSL, RSA,
Certicom. It's only CryptoAPI that I am having problems. The problem
seems to lie in that when I export the public key using
CryptExportKey(), i am getting a PUBLICKEYBLOB of 16 bytes more than
the other end's public key. I figured this 16 bytes might be some blob
header, so I strip that out. But when I get the 128 byte public key
from the end and try to import that, I think the CryptImportKey is
expecting a blob with a header? Is that correct? So I tried setting
the same header from my public key blob to see what would happen. Of
course that didn't work.
Can anybody give me some info or point me to some docs about how to get
CryptoAPI to play nice with other libs for DH? Since the 3 other libs
I've tried seem to be inter-operable, I assume there is something
non-standard that CryptoAPI is doing? Or there is an additional step I
am missing?

FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Mad Scientists concocted a musical mixture at Hodi's Half Note, on June 1. They were the opening act, along with: Hench, Qbala, Syntax and Kind Dub. Psalm One was the direct support and Louis Logic was the headliner.
AWE is the emcee and Furbie Cakes is the disc jockey of Mad Scientists.
Before AWE accompanied Furbie Cakes on stage, Furbie Cakes grabbed the microphone phone stand spoke into the microphone. He introduced himself, stated he made beats and later brought out AWE. He stood behind his turntable and mixer and he began Mad Scientists' recital with "Praise Hip-Hop". After sampling Soul II Soul's "Back To Life"—AWE hyped up the crowd and praised Furbie Cakes for still scratching with vinyl, as he continued to mix.
After Furbie Cakes spun his last beat, "Sound Science", AWE made his way to the stage and mentioned Furbie Cakes would be performing at the "X-Games" in Texas. He mentioned they were both from Denver and thanked Qbala for inviting up to Fort Collins, Colo. to perform.
Prior to "1984 Remix", AWE acknowledged Qbala for setting up the event and thanked the venue for providing a place to perform. Shortly after, Furbie Cakes removed his hat and began to play the next track. Awe went onto encourage Furbie Cakes to "chop it up". Furbie Cakes took his advice, manipulated the sound on his mixer and proceeded to scratch the record on his turntable.
Furbie Cakes sampled Aesop Rock's "The Blob: Beats, Loops, Bleeps, Bloops, and Crap That Didn't Make It", as movie quotes from "Goodfellas" was heard. After the song came to a conclusion, AWE asked if there were any fans of the movie in attendance. An audience member yelled out another movie quote from the film and AWE praised him for his exact impersonation.
As "Absolutely Brilliant" was about to get underway, AWE mentioned he was a radio DJ in Denver. He encouraged everyone to tune in on Fridays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. He mentioned his radio show was called "Underground Experience". After the song came to an end, he stated he was giving away free mixtapes and finished off by providing his lyrics to two more Aesop Rock's Aesop Rock's "The Blob: Beats, Loops, Bleeps, Bloops, and Crap That Didn't Make It" beats.
"Mad Scientists Theme Song" and "Trailer Park Boys" were also part of Mad Scientists' set.

Import prices up again in June
July 14, 2008
Import prices rose 2.6 percent in June 2008. The increase followed a 2.6-percent advance in May and was led by a continuing rise in petroleum prices. Import prices advanced 20.5 percent over the past year, which was the largest year-over-year rise since the index was first published in September 1982.
Higher petroleum prices continued to be the major contributor to the advance in overall import prices, increasing 7.4 percent in June after rising 8.9 percent, 7.9 percent, and 10.1 percent respectively, in the prior three months.
Petroleum prices rose 78.6 percent for the year ended in June, the largest 12-month advance since the index increased 82.5 percent between February 2002 and February 2003.
These data are from the BLS International Price program. Import price data are subject to revision. Learn more in "U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes -- June 2008," (PDF) (HTML) news release USDL 08-0943.

Moscow — Vladimir (М-7, 185 kilometers)
Vladimir — Bogolyubovo (М-7, 15 kilometers)
Vladimir — Suzdal (А-113, 35 kilometers)
Vladimir was conceived as a fortress to protect the borders of the Rostov-Suzdal principality, and today remains one of the most beautiful Russian cities, with a rich history and many ancient sites listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Program. Vladimir is widely known for its souvenirs — products made fr om birch bark and jewelry made fr om stones, enamel and crystal. Its temples and churches are no less beautiful or significant than Moscow's.
To get to Vladimir, move away fr om the Moscow Ring Road on Gorkovskoye Shosse (M-7). Don't forget your sunglasses: As you go directly east, the morning sun will shine right in your eyes. When planning a trip, keep in mind that at weekends there is heavy traffic on the 50 kilometers of the route closest to the capital.

Vladimir's history began in 1108, when Prince Vladimir Monomakh built a strong fortress and named it after himself. Fr om the south, the town was protected by the River Klyazma, fr om the north the River Lybed, and from the east and west by deep ravines.
Monomakh's heir, Prince Yury Dolgoruky, initially paid little attention to the northern fief, but when he realized the futility of the struggle for the Kiev throne, he decided to build a new fortress in the region of Suzdal. This is how Moscow, Pereslavl-Zalesski, Dmitrov, Yuryev-Polsky and Zvenigorod appeared. His son, Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky moved the capital from Kiev to Vladimir.
The main attractions of the capital of ancient Rus are located along the length of Bolshaya Moskovskaya Ulitsa — you find yourself on it after entering the town and following the main road. The center is Sobornaya Ploshchad with the Dmitrievsky and Assumption Cathedrals and the Zolotiye Vorota (Golden Gates) just to the west. Further east, Bolshaya Moskovskaya Ulitsa leads to the Nativity Monastery, and to the north are preserved neighborhoods of wooden houses.
When entering the city, at 46 Prospekt Lenina is one of eight ATMs of Trust Bank, wh ere you can top up your mobile phone balance, as well as withdraw cash — you'll need it for souvenirs.
First look round the Assumption Cathedral. It was founded in 1158 at the same time as the start of construction of a defensive ring around the city. The church was supposed to become the main seat of the church of all Rus. The cathedral holds the largest collection of frescoes by the brilliant medieval artist Andrei Rublyov.

Nearby is the white stone Cathedral of Saint Dmitry (1194), dedicated to the holy warrior Demetrios of Thessaloniki. The church seems to be made of openwork tracery — the first time in Russian architecture that such abundant decoration was applied. At the center of the composition on each facade stands King Solomon, and around him are grouped images of plants, animals, birds and griffins. Inside part of the mural from the 12th century is preserved.
Have a look at the Princess' Assumption Convent, founded in 1200 by Prince Vsevolod III at the request of his wife Mary Shvarnovna, and in the southeastern part of the Kremlin you can see the Nativity Monastery (1191), which today is the residence of the bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal.
Today in the building of the Zolotiye Vorota there is one of the exhibits of Vladimir-Suzdal History and Architecture Museum and Reserve — a diorama of "The Storm of Vladimir by Baty's troops," as well as weapons and uniforms.
In the building of the Assumption Cathedral you can see frescoes, and in the building of the former Archive Commission (46 Bolshaya Moskovskaya Ulitsa) there is a historical exhibition. In the building of the water tower you can learn many interesting things about the daily life of the provincial capital of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At the cultural and educational center "Chambers" (58 Bolshaya Moskovskaya Ulitsa) you can learn about the culture of a nobleman's estate.
You just can't visit Vladimir and not see one of the most famous and respected Russian churches, on a par with the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and St. Basil's Cathedral. Come out onto Gorkovskoye Shosse (M-7) and head in the direction of Nizhny Novgorod, to Bogolyubovo — the ancient princely residence of Andrei Bogolyubsky.
The Church of the Intercession on the Nerl (1165) was built in memory of the lost son of Grand Duke Izyaslav Andreevich. According to legend, a white stone for the temple was taken from the Bulgar kingdom conquered by Andrei Bogolyubsky. The church is situated in an extremely beautiful place, on a hill at the confluence of the Klyazma and Nerl rivers in the middle of water meadows. You can reach it only by foot, covering a kilometer of picturesque countryside. Travel by car is prohibited, and the nearest parking is at the railway station.
After the Mongol conquest of the city, Bogolyubovo lost its significance and some time later became a village. There are partially preserved earthworks, ditches and the lower parts of walls and pillars of white stone fortifications, the remains of the castle, as well as the base of the Nativity of the Virgin church (1158), on which was built a tiered baroque church (1751). The barbican Church of the Assumption, belltower and the cells were built in the 19th century. At the site of the former princely palace is the St. Bogolyubsky Convent. Most of the buildings are from the 18th and 19th centuries.
Return to Vladimir, spend the night and set off early the next morning.
From the center of Vladimir leave to the east along Ulitsa Dobroselskaya up to the intersection with Suzdalsky Prospekt. Follow signs to Ivanovo, at the regulated intersection turn left and head along the highway (A-113). Do not break the speed lim it because the traffic police will get you here for sure!
Suzdal is a real town-museum, wh ere quiet cozy lanes, wooden houses and an incredible number of monasteries and churches await you, and medovukha and delicious pickles are on sale on every corner. This is a city which is impossible to visit only once: Suzdal is always waiting to be rediscovered.
Make a stop at Poklonnaya Hill. From here there is an excellent view of Suzdal: The city is only two by four kilometers in size, but it manages to fit in more than 300 monuments that are assets not only to Russian, but also to world culture. You can see that the long sweep of Ulitsa Lenina runs through the whole of Suzdal, and that the small winding river Kamenka divides the city into two parts. Most of the sights are concentrated in the eastern part. In Suzdal it is forbidden to build houses higher than three floors, and there are no plants or factories.
The history of the city began in the 12th century in the place that is now the museum of the Suzdal Kremlin, with the first earth fortifications and the city council. It is worth starting Suzdal from here. There are bishops' chambers, St. Nicholas Church, the cathedral bell tower and Nativity Cathedral, the oldest building in the city (the exact date of its erection is unknown but it is from somewhere between the 12th and 14th centuries). The six-pillared giant of thin brick, painted by the best Byzantine masters, stood for only 50 years — the foundation began to crumble, and it was decided to disassemble the cathedral. But soon a new one was erected in the same place. In the 15th century Nativity Cathedral burned down, and only 100 years later the church was dismantled, leaving only the arch and column frame, and was built anew. Inside the Nativity Cathedral is no less majestic than the outside: The crowning glory — Zlatiye Vrata — are a shining example of the original decorative and applied art of the Suzdal masters.

At the end of the 17th century a clock appeared on the bell tower that strikes the hour and every quarter of an hour.
Nearby are the Bishops' Chambers — a complex of stone buildings allegedly from the 15th to 18th centuries.
Between the Bishops' chambers and the earthen ramparts stands St. Nicholas Church, built in 1766 and relocated to the Suzdal Kremlin from the village of Glotovo. This is a unique example of the "kletsky" church style, reminiscent of a village hut. Before you continue sightseeing, you can fortify yourself at the lower refectory of the Bishops' Chambers. There is a restaurant called Refectory — one of the most prestigious and expensive in the town.
Cross over the trading area and set off for Rizpolozhensky Monastery. It's founding (1207) is associated with a beautiful but sad story: Prince Michael of Chernigov betrothed his daughter Yevfrosinia to Prince Fedor Yaroslavovich, brother of Alexander Nevsky. But the betrothed died on his wedding day, and the girl decided to take the veil, and after death was accepted into the canon of saints. The monastery is a three-domed building with three apses, which is quite unusual for the architectural style of that era.
The Holy Virgin diocesan monastery, built in 1364, was known in the remote 14th century as a place of banishment for disgraced Russian tsaritsas and representatives of noble families.
You could now cross the river Kamenka and visit the Monastery of Saint Yevfymy, founded in 1352. Originally made of wood, it was almost completely destroyed by fire. Later new walls with defensive towers were erected. The central building of the monastery is the five-domed Transfiguration Cathedral. The walls of the church are separated by pilasters with zakomari that were adorned with painting as far back as the 17th century.
Posadsky house, situated nearby, is notable for being the only surviving example of residential stone architecture in Suzdal. In the 17th century it belonged to a tailor called Koska Dobrynka, the father of the famous Old Believer Nikita Pustosvyata. In 1970, Vladimir-Suzdal Museum purchased Posadsky house from its previous owner and restored the 17th-18th century interior.
In the evening you could have a stroll along the quiet streets, admire the domes of the churches against the sunset and gather strength for the return journey.

Yeah, yeah, dot print tights are nothing new. But dot print tights in white? There's something just a little nostalgic about these Oasis Contrast Pin Dot Tights ($17) and we see them getting a lot of mileage this fall, winter, and hell, even next spring. We're wearing them under every piece of clothing we have that doesn't have legs, and sometimes maybe under pants too for an extra boost of warmth. We even have the urge to pair them with a red velvet mini dress and Mary Janes to relive the glory of our Christmas dress from 1989, but that might come off as more creepy than cute.

Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
PARIS -- When was the
last time you found yourself at a dance concert that moved your
gut, your feet, and your mind? After noting that -- here in Paris,
anyway -- flamenco is about the only form of dance (and music) I
always look forward to seeing; after further noting what a joyous
surprise it was to retrieve the sizzling young flamenco double-threat
(she sings and dances) Sabrina Romero (you read about her here
first), seamlessly added to Tuesday night's Chispa Negra ("Black
Spark") act at the Cirque d'Hiver on three weeks notice and after
just two rehearsals, electrifying when she suddenly left her singing
chair to take the dancing stage; after adding that Diego Cortes
surely stands shoulder to shoulder with his hermano Santana as one
of the greatest guitarists of all time; after asking why on Earth
artists like this continue to be largely ghettoized into one or
two-night stands at flamenco festivals, while, meanwhile, broader
events like this summer's just-announced and Anglo-weighted Lincoln
Center festival ignore
them; after these impressive thoughts, I'd like to start
where my sister critic Joan Acocella leaves off in this week's New
Yorker, to report that Cortes, Romero, fellow dancer Manuel Gutierrez
and Chispa Negra leader Jose-Luis Gomez leave the notion of flamenco
'fusion' en migas, or crumbs.
Discussing 'modern'
trends in flamenco, specifically in reference to a recent festival
in New York, Acocella writes
of flamencos in Spain: "After Franco, they were dumped out of what
was basically a nineteenth-century aesthetic into the world of late-twentieth-century
commercial trash. So, alongside the remnants of flamenco puro,
or at least flamenco interesante, that's what we're getting:
a marriage of flamenco with MTV. What will come of this? Last year,
Robert Browning said, of the flamenco innovators, 'There is always
the danger of ending up in a Las Vegas show. On the other hand,
you have to be open to new ideas.' Nice sentiment, but how come
the resulting product so often tips toward Vegas?"
Dear Joan -- dear, dear
Joan -- I have good news for you: It doesn't! Acocella is referring
in part to over-choreographed extravaganzas -- sometimes by legendary
flamenco artists like Christina Hoyos who should know better. (And
viewing flamenco in New York, she's likely also referring to a diet
supplied largely by the tireless flamenco promoter Miguel Marin,
whose impressive authority is sometimes undermined by misguided
if well-meaning crowd-pleasing tendencies.)
Until Tuesday night,
I might have agreed with her. But the fact is, Hoyos and others
are less responding to the panoply of autre-flamenco 20th century
influences than to what they think (or perhaps what the tour producer
is telling them) American audiences want to see on a popular concert
stage. And indeed, as Chispa Negra demonstrated Tuesday night in
opening the Paris International Flamenco Festival -- and on the
group's new CD to which I'm listening as I write -- it's actually
possible to open up to the greater musical world and still
remain true, in the heart and in the spirit of the spectacle offered
to the audience, to the flamenco form's roots.
The company's PR, from
its ambitious manager and the festival producer Flamenco Production,
describes Chispa Negra as "avant-gardiste, modern, fresh" and Cortes
as "one of the precursors of flamenco fusion in the 1980s." The
inference of employing that word 'fresh' is that good ol' "flamenco
puro" somehow isn't. But in fact, it is the base, particularly in
Cortes's playing and in Chispa Negra's presentation.
For Cortes, that base
includes percussion -- as when the musician clamps down on the strings
and mutes the reverberation, in the tapao or covered manner,
and the full scale of the strings, often sounded with the hands
and fingers moving so fast they blur. If Cortes stretches that scale
-- as, for instance, when he reaches to the higher register, plucking
in a fashion that evokes the surf guitar of Dick Dale -- well then,
isn't it only natural that living in the world, exposed to
other influences, he would go there? But when he does explore like
this, he certainly doesn't sacrifice tradition; nothing is lost
I feel even more confident
in calling Chispa Negra traditional because, unlike the flamenco
shows we see more and more these days -- a first half that is choreographed
in a more narrative sense, followed by the more traditional 'tablao'
after intermission -- this show is all tablao. No cheesy 'story.'
Is it Las Vegas or do we need to even call it fusion simply because
instead of a frilly dress, Romero dances in white slacks and a sleeveless
black top? I think not! Carmen Amaya, the greatest of them all,
wore pants too, back in the '40s and '50s -- albeit in her case
the wardrobe change fit with her introducing more emphasis to footwork.
I choose to look not at what the dancer's wearing, but at the way
her hands and fingers wend while the rest of her body is still,
as she watches, absorbed, the footwork of the Impossible Dream Manuel
Gutierrez. If anything, the tight clothing makes more pronounced
the curl of her spine. And seeing Romero in what might be described
as civies -- as opposed to the more presentational gown -- almost
does a better job of communicating (cliche alert!) that this is
in her blood; that she has probably been dancing since she was three
years old, and so it's second nature to her -- and natural to dance
in her street clothes.
And sing! Indeed, more
than the company's regular singer Maria-Jose Lopez, who's on the
CD -- did I mention that Romero had just two rehearsals with the
company before Tuesday's performance? -- if Romero's look is young
and chic, her voice is ancient. It comes to us from long ago, memories
in its tremors and the occasional lisp, and from deep within. If
the singer is current, the song is eternal.
As for Gutierrez, I
resisted him at first -- largely for superficial reasons like his
heft and the Saturday Night Fever suit in which he first appeared
(another modern flamenco trend, I'm told). But by the end of the
evening, he'd won me over and had us all roaring after a tour de
force marked not just by thunderous stomping but by quieter sliding
as well. Like the best dancers in any form, Gutierrez embraces his
body's distinct form, using it to advantage; his precarious leaning
back and off-center to the point we think he might fall as he careens
across the stage -- often on just one precipitous foot, or so it
seems -- are all the more thrilling because of his relative bulk.
Romero and Gutierrez
have both made giant strides in confidence since I first caught
them two years ago, in Vicente Pradal's "Romancero
Gitano." He has a confidence that really wasn't there
before -- and is developing a unique, charmingly quirky style. Romero's
singing has more assurance and maturity, while her dancing is more
brazen. And this duality -- rare in flamenco -- adds an extra edge,
whether she is dancing and you can still here her singing inside,
or whether she is sitting down singing and can't stop her leg from
pivoting in complete revolutions while she watches another dance.
She's more arrived, more poised as a singer; I can't wait to see
what type of dancing personality this 25-year-old forges in the
years to come. And I can't wait for the return of the day -- wasn't
always like this, dance insider! -- when dancing stars in her form
are as famous as those in ballet.

I like this shot, it's unusual in that you can't really make out much - no buildings or landmarks, yet it's discernable as The City. Looking South and with the sun setting on the New Jersey side of the river....quite nice. Thanks for posting this. - Montana CowboyReplyDelete

Meet the Mormon 'Moonlight' Graham
Thanks to the 1989 film "Field of Dreams," many know the story of Archibald "Moonlight" Graham. The outfielder appeared in one Major League Baseball game with the New York Giants in 1905.
Ron Wright is the Mormon version of "Moonlight" Graham, with a slight twist.
Wright made his major league debut with the Seattle Mariners in a 2002 game against the Texas Rangers. While Graham never came to the plate, Wright batted three times and accounted for six outs.
"It's cool and not cool," Wright said of his membership in baseball's one-and-done club. "I could have fared better, but I did make my one game memorable. I'm just glad I made it. It was an unforgettable experience."
Wright's long climb to his single appearance in the big leagues is a compelling story. Along the way he found his wife and started a family, overcame a debilitating injury, avoided steroids and emerged with increased faith and a stronger testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
"The gospel," he said, "kept my head on straight through it all."
Dale Murphy
Wright was born in Delta, Utah, the son of a mason/beekeeper. His family, faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, moved to Tri-Cities, Wash., when Wright was about 8 years old. He developed a love of baseball at a young age and idolized the most prominent Mormon in the majors — Dale Murphy. He got a copy of Murphy's biography and soaked up everything he could learn about the 1982 and 1983 National League MVP.
"I've loved 'Murph' since he was with the (Atlanta) Braves," Wright said. "I knew he was LDS, which set him up as a good role model."
Wright recalls traveling with some relatives to San Francisco to see a Giants-Braves three-game series in 1987. The group was able to meet Murphy and even attended church services with the Atlanta baseball star.
"I'll never forget that. It was really a neat experience," Wright said. "The whole three days were surreal. It was crazy being in his presence. He was the idol of a lot of LDS kids back then. Right then I knew I wanted to play baseball as long as I could."
Game-changing choices
The Atlanta Braves drafted Wright in the seventh round of the 1994 draft. As he adjusted to life in the minors in West Palm Beach, Fla., he found himself surrounded by 18-year-olds away from their parents for the first time. They had money to spend and no morals, Wright said.
"There was everything going on down there," he said. "It was like a college fraternity on steroids."
It just so happened that the league Wright played in didn't schedule games on Sunday, the only league in pro baseball with that policy, he said. But on his first Sunday morning, nobody was there to make him go to church, so he skipped out. A few days later, however, the 18-year-old had a game-changing epiphany.
"My parents made sure I knew the biggest priority in their life, besides us, was the church. But you have to decide whether you will go or not. My family is 3,000 miles away. They are done checking up on me. I can't rely on their testimony anymore," Wright said. "I realized right then I needed the church in my life and made a conscious decision to stay true."

I've not gone on one run since June 14 that I haven't thought about Sarah Roberts Hart.
On June 14, she was on her morning jog in Russell County when she was attacked and killed. Her tragic story has struck a nerve with people all over the country, especially with fellow runners like myself.

The first time I saw one of those strange little QR codes in an advertisement, I thought it was a mistake. It looked like a graphic artist had mangled a photo or barcode.
Quick Response codes have been around since the mid-1990s but their popularity has increased since the introduction of "smartphones."
They've even been showing up in ads in the newspaper.
In the Athletes of the Year section published last month, some additional information has been provided about one of the entries. Jeremy Mattingly, the football player of the year, is the son of Mickey and Beth Cooley and Kerry and Gloria Mattingly.
A solution to an old problem in our community is Jesus Christ. Let me begin by saying as someone who has attended church practically my entire life, it is hard to let others know you are a follower of Jesus.
In this country we have forgotten the freedom to attend church. Easter and Christmas as national holidays. Leaders in our country must believe in God or this would not be so.
To believe in Jesus is one thing, but to say he is the answer seems to feel uncomfortable to let people know.
My dog and cat are truly my best friends. They ask for so little and give so much!
I only hope that these animals are provided fresh water, food, shelter, and shade all through the year.
We have a great shelter in Marion County. Unwanted and abused dogs and cats can be taken there.
Have a heart and care people!

Not since Father Knows Best has any TV dad made such an impression on American families as John Walton, Sr.
Hearing the news of the death of Ralph Waite, alias John Walton, Sr., saddens several generations of avid viewers.
Waite played John Walton, Sr. on the TV show known as "The Walton's." The story line was based on the writer Earl Hammer's childhood memories.
The names of the characters on this program became household words – everyone knew who John Boy, Mary Ellen, Erin, Ben, Jim Bob, and Elizabeth were. The scene is a place called Walton's Mountain where for generations the Walton family lived, loved and died there.
There was a touching scene in one of the shows where Grandpa, Zubulon Walton, dies and was buried upon his beloved mountain. The actor, Will Geer, had actually passed away.
Today, the whole family will be grieving once again as they say good-by to the sensible, good-hearted, loyal father of the clan.
Ralph Waite (John Walton, Sr.), passed away yesterday at the age of 85. He was born June 28, 1928 and died February 13, 2014. No cause of death was reported.

A Publication of THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN
A Class Act: Learning doesn't stop at 30--Informal Classes marks three decades of unique offerings aimed at enhancing personal growth, quality of life
By Nancy Neff
Some of the most unusual and lively classes in Austin in fact it's entertaining just to read the catalog are celebrating 30 years of teaching everything from kickboxing to finding your own guardian angel.
Established in 1971, The University of Texas at Austin Informal Classes provides a variety of short non-credit courses and workshops for the entire Austin community.
The classes, which are run by the Texas Union, are designed to give the most information in the least amount of time.
Want to learn how to write a modern mystery, buy a house, create your own funeral, start your own record label, do the South African Can and Gumboot dance, play the didgeridoo (ancient Aboriginal wind instrument), fight fair, hang glide, belly dance, make tamales, or perhaps learn how to be a shaman, a horse whisperer or a weatherman Informal Classes will come to the rescue every time.
"It's important for our personal growth and our quality of life to continue learning, and we've got something for everyone," said Emily Speight, who has been program coordinator of Informal Classes since last January. "People enroll just because they're interested in a subject, and with a room full of students who feel this way, it turns out to be a wonderful experience for everyone."
Although Informal Classes was organized in the fall of 1971, the first catalog was printed in the spring of 1972, with 19 classes listed. Today, there are 2,400 different courses offered a year and five catalogs two in the fall, two in the spring and one in the summer. About 25,000 people a year sign up for classes, which average $45 for a six-class course. In addition to Speight, Informal Classes has a staff of five full-time and 25 part-time employees. With an annual revenue of $500,000 to $750,000, the program breaks even financially without any subsidy from the university.
The Texas Union has periodically sponsored classes mainly duplicate bridge in the summer months since the 1930s. There was no structured program until 1971, said Susan Clagett, associate vice president for university public affairs. Clagett worked for Texas Union Program Director Shirley Bird Perry during the 1970s, and later became program director herself.
Informal Classes began as a summer program with a wine-tasting course as the anchor. The wine-tasting class was held in the Alumni Center because the university couldn't serve alcohol anywhere else on campus. "It was so different and so new who knew that so many people were interested in wines," Clagett said. "It was an instant hit."
In fact, the success of the program in the last 30 years has been phenomenal, Clagett said. "It is marvelous that Informal Classes has grown and flourished like it has. The university was truly at the front end around the country when it came to creating this kind of program."
The program reflected the times because people were interested in self-development and being more self-reliant. Among the first classes were astrology, bicycle repair, foreign car repair, organic gardening and the wine tasting course. "The program will never grow old if the people who are running it stay on top of current interests and they obviously do," Clagett said.
Perry, who now is a vice chancellor for development and external relations for the UT System, said the Informal Classes program developed as a remarkable community outreach effort both within the university and beyond. "The program grew because it was a superb model and responsive to new and innovative possibilities," she said. "The model was strengthened as individuals became increasingly focused on self development and lifelong learning. It was wonderful to hear an electrical engineer express enthusiasm and appreciation for a bread-baking class!
"The message was clear: I'm a serious student, but I'm multi-dimensional, and I want to bake a great loaf of bread. That philosophy is at the core of an extraordinary program that has grown and prospered for 30 years."
Speight said several courses that showed up in the beginning are still going strong, including photography, yoga and guitar. "Because Informal Classes has many repeat customers, about 30 new classes are included in each catalog," she said. "We want to keep things interesting."
Although the program originally had a university audience, now just 35 percent of Informal Class students are affiliated with the campus.
Although most classes are held at the Texas Union or other campus locations, several such as horseback riding, rowing, foal handling, cave exploring, skydiving, hang gliding, golf, scuba diving, Rollerblade skating and others are held off campus. All of the Informal Classes instructors are experts in their fields, Speight said. A women's triathlon clinic, for example, is taught by Lisa Lynam, a four-time Ironman finisher, and six-degree black belt master John Blankenship has taught self-defense workshops for nearly 20 years.
In the fall of 2000, Informal Classes began online classes in addition to the regular course format. Among the 100 online classes offered this fall are Creating Web Pages, Write Your Life Story, Speed Spanish, A to Z Grant Writing and Financial Management for Small Business. "Last month, we had 90 enrollees, so it's growing," Speight said.

I'm having difficulties with this exercise (from Elon LIMA's Curso de Análise, Vol. 2):
$f:U\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is function, differentiable on the open set $U\subset\mathbb{R}^n$. Let $\{v_1,...,v_n\}$ be an arbitrary basis of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $g^{ij}:=\left<v_i,v_j\right>$. Show that grad$f(x)$ in this basis is $$\textrm{grad} f(x) = \sum_i(\sum_j g^{ij}\frac{\partial f}{\partial v_j})v_i$$ where $\frac{\partial f}{\partial v_j}$ is the directional derivative of $f$ along the vector $v_j$.
I tried starting with the RHS with $\frac{\partial f}{\partial v_j}=\left<\textrm{grad}f(x),v_j\right>$ and arriving at $\sum_i \left<\textrm{grad}f(x),e_i\right>e_i $ which is the "canonical" (see Note below) expression for the grad; writing each $v_i$ as $v_i=\sum_j \left<v_i,e_j\right>$ I come down to a sum of the form $\sum_{i,j}\left<v_j,e_k\right>g^{ji}\left<v_i,e_l\right>$ which I don't recognize and doesn't seem to simplify.
Am I approaching it incorrectly? How must this problem be tackled? I'm obviously missing something, or misinterpreting things.
NOTE: In the textbook, grad$f(x)$ is defined as $\sum_i \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}(x)e_i$ where $\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}(x)$ is the usual i-th partial derivative at the point $x$.

Karla Villagra-Garzon hasn't been seen since February 24, when she left her home in the 800 block of E. Jersey St. to get medicine for her sick toddler. The Walgreens location she was going to is a very short distance from her house, yet she never returned, and store surveillance video does not show that she ever arrived.
This seems extremely suspicious, especially considering that it's unlikely a mother would willingly disappear while her child is ill. What could have happened to Karla?
Her husband, Abayuba Garzon, reported her missing when she still hadn't returned the following morning. He is said to be cooperating with the police.
There is very little information for police to go on. Lt. Daniel Saulnier from the Elizabeth Police Department said "We've been receiving phone calls as far as New York City, but I can report that there is no new evidence regarding her whereabouts." That doesn't sound very promising, but where do you look for a person with no clues of where to start? In densely populated areas, like Elizabeth, NJ, and the surrounding area, she could be literally anywhere.
Any number of situations could have befallen this young mother, or there is that slim possibility that she really did just walk away. Hopefully she is located soon, as she has been missing for nearly two weeks already.

A joint investigation conducted by the Horizon Police Horizon PD Department & the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Strike Team culminated in the arrest of three people for narcotics related offenses.
Information was received by Horizon PD on "street level" narcotic activity stemming from a residence in the 14300 block of Thayer Pease in Horizon City, TX. During an investigation by HPD Officers & Sheriff's Deputies, contact was made with a male subject who agreed to deliver narcotics to undercover officers posing as narcotics buyers.
Deputies later met with a male subject who delivered a total of 1.5 grams of cocaine at a location minutes away from the residence at 14300 Thayer Pease.
Deputies who remained on surveillance at the residence in question observed two males approach the residence and remove a package from the side of the home. Both male subjects left the residence in a vehicle where Deputies followed the to a residence in the 700 block of Palmer.
Deputies along with HPD Officers made contact with the male where an additional 4 grams of cocaine was found inside the vehicle.
Jimmy Codina (20), Gabriel Roman (19) and Daniel Rodriguez (19) were arrested in the scene.

Despite a petition asking for it, Justin Bieber can't be deported for any of the crimes he is currently charged with, U.S. law says. However, TMZ's legal team found there's another way for Bieber to be ousted from the country, and reported on it on Tuesday.
Bieber -- a Canadian citizen -- is allowed to stay in the U.S. because he has what's called an O-1 visa. There are several types of O visas, and even two types of O-1 visas, but Wikipedia says:
An O visa is a classification of non-immigrant temporary worker visa granted by the United States to an alien "who possesses extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics, or who has a demonstrated record of extraordinary achievement in the motion picture or television industry and has been recognized nationally or internationally for those achievements," and to certain assistants and immediate family members of such aliens.
In other words, he's a celebrity, so he gets O-1 status.
Bieber's visa must be renewed in two years. Here's the key: According to TMZ (and Wikipedia), immigration law state that if someone is convicted of a crime of "moral turpitude," the department can deem that person "inadmissible" for work status in the United States.
According to the site, if a crime involves moral turpitude, it doesn't matter if it is a misdemeanor or a felony. Notably, a controlled substance violation qualifies.
Moral turpitude is still a vague term, though. TMZ says it includes crimes involving "malicious destruction of property." Wikipedia doesn't define it that way, though.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. has recommended that the District Attorney file felony vandalism charges against Bieber in his egging case, because the estimated damages are $20,000. The Sheriff's Dept., as well, believes that Bieber was malicious in his intent.
While all conjecture, this could qualify as a "moral turpitude" violation. However, one can only imagine the amount of lobbying from the music industry to avoid that, even if it were the case. It would appear that would be a doubtful denouement.
Additionally, the D.A. has not decided whether or not to file. It is expected that decision will be made later this week.

College Hockey:Team USA to Face Canada in World Junior Semis
HALIFAX, N.S. — The United States jumped out to a three-goal lead, and held on to defeat the Czech Republic, 4-3, in the first medal round game at the World Junior Championships on Thursday.
With the victory, Team USA will face Canada (7:10 p.m. ET) in the semifinals on Friday with the right to advance to the gold medal game. The game will be televised on tape delay on the YES Network (Ch. 622 on DirecTV) at midnight, and again at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The game is also webcast live on USAHockey.com, and available live on The Sports Network in Canada, and as part of DirecTV's NHL Center Ice package.
With a win in one of its next two games, the U.S. will win its first medal at the World Junior Championships since earning the silver at the 1997 tournament in Switzerland.
Team USA scored quick-strike goals in each of the first two periods, to go on top 4-1. Michigan's Dwight Helminen and North Dakota's Zach Parise scored just 33 seconds apart midway through the first period, and Ohio State's Ryan Kesler and defenseman Ryan Suter scored just 44 seconds apart in the second period.
In between, the Czechs scored early in the second period, then added a goal later in the period for a 4-2 game. The Czech Republic added a goal late in the third period, but Providence's Bob Goepfert held on for his fourth straight win, recording 22 saves.
"Our goalkeeper was outstanding, just outstanding," said U.S. head coach Lou Vairo, who also coached the 1984 U.S. Olympic Team. "We're just happy we were able to hang on and win."
The United States finished 3-1 in round-robin play in Group A, opening with a loss to Russia before reeling off wins against Switzerland, Slovakia and Belarus.
Maine's Jim Howard made his only start in goal against Russia, and lost 5-1, as 17-year old superstar Alexander Ovechkin — considered the consensus No. 1 pick in the NHL draft were he not two days too young to be eligible — had a hat trick in the game. In the game, Team USA also lost star defenseman Tim Gleason, a first-round pick of Ottawa in 2001, to a broken foot.
Against Switzerland, Yale's Chris Higgins had two shorthanded goals to lead Team USA to a 3-1 win. That was followed by an 8-2 win over Belarus, as Minnesota's Barry Tallackson and Parise each scored twice. Group play concluded with a 3-1 decision over Slovakia.
Team USA advanced to the medal round as the No. 2 seed in its group, while the Czech Republic was the No. 3 seed in Group B.
In a change from recent years, the No. 1 seeds in each group, Russia and Canada, each received a bye in the first medal round game. That makes Canada fully rested for Friday's match.
In the other crossover game, Finland defeated Slovakia, 6-0, and will face Russia in the semifinals.
NOTES: The U.S. guarantees itself at least a fourth-place finish in the tournament, matching its best placement since finishing fourth at the 2000 tournament. Team USA finished in fifth place in both the 2001 and 2002 tournaments, despite finishing with the best winning percentage of last year's teams. …
The win now gives the U.S. three straight wins over the Czechs in World Junior Championship play. The U.S. swept a pair of games from the host Czechs at the 2002 tournament, including the game that earned fifth place. …
While the U.S. is 4-20-3 against Canada in World Junior Championship play, it has held its own against the Canadians in recent years. The U.S. is 2-2-1 against the Canada since the 1998 tournament, winning at the 1998 and 1999 tournaments. The last meeting between the two neighbors was in the 2001 tournament, with Canada taking a narrow 2-1 victory.

Liberty: A Weekly for Everybody was founded in 1924 by Joseph Patterson, publisher of the New York Daily News and Robert McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune and often regarded as the world's greatest publisher. From its inception, they set out to make the magazine more topical, daring and exciting than any competitors. Information was presented in a style heavily influenced by the emerging motion picture industry and focused on the most sensational and popular issues.
The magazine flourished when illustrated magazines were the most important form of mass entertainment. This was an era of unique creativity and growing involvement in world affairs. During the following 26 years the magazine charted the moods, attitudes, lifestyles, fads, and fortunes of middle America through its three most significant decades.
The magazine's ongoing circulation of more than 3 million weekly was founded on the high quality and originality of its art, stories, and other features. Its prominence and willingness to pay for the best attracted original contributions from the greatest artists, writers, celebrities and statesmen of the age.
Summary: Liberty Magazine Historical Archive, 1924-1950 provides users engaged in research of the 20th century a delightful range of art, stories, articles and advertisements offering valuable insight into Depression Era and World War II America. It offers a rich perspective of the everyday lives of working-class and middle-class America that no other resource can match.
Coming soon to Gale NewsVault, this collection combined with Gale's other 20th century newspaper resources (Picture Post, Illustrated London News, The Listener, The Times, The Times Literary Supplement, The Sunday Times, and more) will provide students with a wealth of materials and perspectives that cannot be found anywhere else.
Significance: Liberty played host to some of the most famous artists, authors, writers, celebrities, and political figures of its time period. Chief among them were:
Artists: James Montgomery Flagg, McClelland Barclay, Neysa McMein, Peter Arno, Arthur William Brown, Wallace Morgan, Robert Edgren, Ralph Barton, W.T. Benda, Cesare, John T. McCutcheon, Willy Pogany, Herb Roth, Robin Kirby, Addison Burbank, John Held, Jr., Harold Anderson, Leslie Thrasher, Walt Disney.
Writers: Robert Benchley, Paul Gallico, Irvin S. Cobb, John Galsworthy, Mackinlay Kantor, F. Hugh Herbert, Louis Bromfield, Dashiell Hammett, P.G. Wodehouse, George Bernard Shaw, Agatha Christie, Dr. Seuss, H.L. Mencken, F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Celebrities/Statesmen: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mahatma Ghandi, Winston Churchill, W.C. Fields, H.G. Wells, Albert Einstein, Mary Pickford, Jean Harlow, Mae West, Greta Garbo, Leon Trotsky, Benito Mussolini, Al Capone, Babe Ruth.
Over the years as many as 120 of the literary properties were adapted for popular media. These include such major films as: Double Indemnity, Sergeant York, My Man Godfrey and the television series: Mr. Ed the Talking Horse. The long running story written and illustrated by Leslie Thrasher, For the Love o' Lil, featured weekly on the cover for 6 years, was subsequently made into a radio series and a Columbia Pictures movie and is recognized as America's first soap opera.

A look at the faces and action of youth sports from Little League to high school.
Since 1975 when I was a sophomore in high school I have had a camera with me. Since then I have taken thousands of photos with youth sports being one of my favorites. In September of 1978 I became a paid/call firefighter for Machias (Maine) Fire Department. today I am still a member of the Machias Fire Department plus the Marshfield Volunteer Fire Department and the Washington County Strike Team (HazMat). Being a firefighter has allowed me to take photos that others do not have access to. My other interests include amateur radio and I hold an extra class license. Please enjoy my books, they show some of my favorite shots over the years.

Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto has disclosed brand new details concerning the upcoming entry to the Legend of Zelda franchise for Nintendo Wii U. According to a report by TechRadar from July 5, Miyamoto spoke about Zelda Wii U and the game's world, size, and other details in a recent shareholders meeting. Having made its debut at E3 2014, details on the new title have been scarce, but we now have new information for this highly anticipated Wii U exclusive.
Despite having just officially announced and showing the first in-game footage of Zelda Wii U at E3 2014 in June - find the first footage of Zelda Wii U here, Miyamoto was asked during a shareholders meeting when additional details would be given for Zelda Wii U and if such information would be shared prior to E3 2015. In response to this question, Miyamoto discussed the size and scope of the title. Furthermore, he went into detail in Nintendo's vision for the game and what they aim to provide players with in terms of overall experience.
Though many compared Zelda Wii U's new open-world direction to that of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Miyamoto is not a fan of the term open-world. He explained that the company described the game as open-world at E3 so that consumers would have an easier time understanding the new vision for the franchise. Find his full comment below:
In addition, we have already announced that we are now developing the next title for the orthodox "The Legend of Zelda" series for Wii U, and that it will be an "open world," as announced at E3. I prefer not to use the generally used term "open world" when developing software, but we used this term in order to make it easier for consumers to understand. This term means that there is a large world in which players can do numerous things daily.
Given this new vision, Miyamoto went on to discuss how Nintendo and the Zelda Wii U development team plans to break down old fashion Zelda game mechanics to developer a new game style in which the player can enjoy and explore the vast world in their leisure. In previous titles, players would reach a certain dungeon and figure they are a certain percentage done with the title. This is a concept that Miyamoto hopes break away from. Find his full explanation below:
In the traditional "The Legend of Zelda" series, the player would play one dungeon at a time. For example, if there are eight dungeons, at the fourth dungeon, some players may think, "I'm already halfway through the game," while other players may think, "I still have half of the game to play." We are trying to gradually break down such mechanism and develop a game style in which you can enjoy "The Legend of Zelda" freely in a vast world, whenever you find the time to do so.
Zelda Wii U is slated for a 2015 release for Nintendo Wii U.

Quick Results from May 8, 2010 - Race to a Cure
Written by Barry Angstadt
Sunday, 09 May 2010 00:59
Newmanstown, Pa. - May 8 - Because he won the first feature run on Saturday, May 8, Jason Swavely became the first driver to score his second victory of 2010 at Lanco's Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway. By the end of the evening, though, Swavely was joined by three other wheel-twisters who also registered their second triumph of the young season.
Swavely, from Birdsboro Pa., notched his second win in the past three weeks when he captured the checkered flag in the Race to a Cure main event for the 270cc Micro-Sprints. A short while later, Jamie Fetterolf recorded his second victory in the Sportsman class, and Dave Grube made it win number two in the 125cc headliner. The nightcap, a 25-lapper for the 250cc Four-Stroke Micros, went to Chip Geib, who visited the winner's circle for the second week in a row. Mark Yoder, Reinholds, won the first 600cc feature race of his career in the 25-lap main event for that division.
The entire evening was dedicated to raising awareness (and funds) to finding a cure for breast cancer. The track's first Breast Cancer Awareness Night was organized and coordinated by 270cc driver Sheena Schaefer and her team, and it was a resounding success.

16 dead in Ohio
A small scraper or putty knife was an indispensable tool to loosen and remove squashed specimens from the highway surface.
Seibert & Conover, 1991
Untold numbers of animals perish while crossing highways. We notice mostly the larger vertebrates, but the majority of the casualties are probably invertebrates. During my childhood in Turkey many, many years ago, after every night drive thru the country side, the grille in front of our car would be filled with all sorts of dead insects. Alas, I never thought of removing those casualties to start a collection. Many of those species have probably become rare since then.
A study reported in the Ohio Journal of Science1 in 1991 claimed to be the first to tally invertebrate casualties attributable to collisions with vehicles. The authors, Seibert & Conover, collected all the dead invertebrates they found along a 1-mile stretch of a highway in Ohio during an approximately 14-month period.
They ended up with 1162 invertebrate specimens, of which 1069 were insects. Hymenopterans (bees, etc.), lepidopterans (butterflies and moths) and dipterans (flies) constituted the majority of the victims. Some of the collected specimens had been absent in the Ohio University insect collections. The authors, therefore, suggested that collections of roadkills should be included in faunal surveys.
Among the relatively small number of non-insect casualties were 16 polygyrid snails (family Polygyridae). I am sure many more snails as well as insects had been killed but not accounted for, because they either remained on the tires or windshields of the vehicles or were squashed beyond recognition.
In the half a billion-year old history of life, death by motorized vehicles came into play less than 200 years ago with the introduction of steam locomotives. Have any animal groups evolved defensive mechanisms to lessen their chances of getting hit by motorized vehicles since then? Collisions with vehicles may be a strong enough selective force to have affected the behaviors and agilities of animals, for example, squirrels, that live alongside busy roads.

UCLA's Game Notes | Stanford's Game Notes
Watch Saturday's Game Online (via ESPN.com)
STANFORD, Calif. - The UCLA men's basketball team (18-7, 8-4) will play at Stanford (15-10, 6-6) on Saturday afternoon (1 p.m., PT). The Bruins' contest in Stanford, Calif., will be nationally televised on ESPN2. The Bruins won the previous meeting between the two school this season, earning a 68-60 win over Stanford in Pauley Pavilion on Saturday, Jan. 5.
Venue: Maples Pavilion (7,329)
Tip-Off Time: 1:05 p.m. PT
Television: ESPN2
TV Talent: Dave Pasch (play-by-play), Bill Walton (analyst)
Radio (UCLA Sports Network from IMG College): AM 570 (KLAC)
Radio Talent: Chris Roberts (play-by-play), Don MacLean (analyst)
UCLA plays at Stanford on Saturday afternoon after having dropped a 76-63 decision at California on Thursday night. The Bruins defeated the Cardinal in Pauley Pavilion, 68-60, on Saturday, Jan. 5, in both teams' second Pac-12 game of the season. UCLA has gone 2-2 in its last four contests against Stanford in Maples Pavilion. UCLA freshman Shabazz Muhammad enters the game ranked second in the conference in scoring (18.2 ppg). Stanford's leading scorer is Dwight Powell, who ranks eighth in the conference having averaged 15.2 ppg as a junior.
California defeated UCLA, 76-63, after having secured a 47-22 margin by halftime. Freshman Jordan Adams scored a team-leading 15 points for the Bruins at Berkeley, Calif., and classmate Shabazz Muhammad registered his third double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 rebounds. UCLA used a 14-4 run to open the second half and reduce California's lead to 15 points before the Golden Bears used a 9-0 scoring run to reclaim a commanding 23-point cushion. UCLA won the earlier meeting against California this season (79-65, at Pauley Pavilion on Jan. 3).
Larry Drew II made a game-winning jump shot at the buzzer against Washington on Feb 7, lifting the Bruins to a 59-57 win over Washington. Drew II's winning shot marked UCLA's first "buzzer beater" since Jan. 20, 2011, when Reeves Nelson scored on a tip-in at the buzzer in Pauley Pavilion to help UCLA beat California, 86-84.

A body camera petition has pulled in over 100,000 votes – placing the formal request into the hands of the White House for a mandatory review. The cop camera petition – proposed in the online lobby as the "Mike Brown Law" – comes in the racially supercharged swath of unrest and violent protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
Questions, contentions, conjectures and accusations run amok, and until a grand jury has been presented with all evidence, the details as to what went down between Ferguson's Officer Darren Wilson and 18-year-old Michael Brown remain sealed.
A mandate for officers to wear a personal body camera, proponents say, would eliminate uncertainty and provide a measure of protection for both the cop and the accused.
The petition, carried on WhiteHouse.gov, is addressed to the Obama administration and requests the following:
Create a bill, sign into law, and set aside funds to require all state, county and local police to wear a camera. Due to the latest accounts of deadly encounters with police, We the People petition for the Mike Brown Law. Create a bill, sign into law, and set aside funds to require all state, county and local police, to wear a camera. The law shall be made in an effort to not only detour police misconduct (i.e. brutality, profiling, abuse of power), but to ensure that all police are following procedure, and to remove all question from normally questionable police encounters. As well, help to hold all parties within a police investigation accountable for their actions.
As of the writing of this article, the petition, created by someone with the initials of "J.C." from Hephzibah, Ga., had attracted over 140,000 unique signatures, which means it's passing into the White House review pipeline.
Witnesses claim that Brown had his hands in the air when he was shot down by Wilson, who fired six rounds into the unarmed teen. Other reports say that Brown harassed, taunted and beat Wilson, all after video caught him stealing a box of cheap cigars and shoving the diminutive store clerk who tried to stop him. Witnesses said that Brown charged Wilson, forcing the officer to defend himself.
