Things went wrong in Ferguson way before Michael Brown was shot by Officer Darren Wilson. The situation may have been out of control before the infamous Swisher Sweets were stolen from the QuikTrip convenience store. The Ferguson Riots very well may be the perfect example of what happens when equal parts of apathy, the entitlement mentality and arrogance meet.
Pigeon-holed by the Washington Post to their Monkey Cage category (their words, not mine), the good folks at the WaPo don't exactly pull their punches with an article entitled "How Ferguson exposes the racial bias in local elections." Little is left to the imagination as to why the town's mayor as well as five out of six city council members are all white in a city that's almost 70 percent black - it's all a plot by white folks designed to keep the black folks down. At least that's how I take the WaPo's manipulation of dubious charts and alleged facts.
Now just to make sure I understand things correctly, more than a few are asking why the Ferguson Police Department, as well as the aforementioned elected officials, are overwhelmingly of the Caucasian persuasion. Especially in a city where blacks have been in the majority of the population for over two decades, why isn't there a greater representation on the FPD than a measly 6 percent? In all honesty, that's a fair question.
Yet according to the Washington Post the problem lies in local elections being held during odd years, as well as the elections are defined as non-partisan (where party affiliation doesn't appear on the ballot). Or as the wisened writers for the Post tell us, when the equation involves odd numbered years and candidates not telling us if they're Democrats or Republicans, the inevitable result is that the losers are "people with less education and less income." Ummm... isn't it just a wee bit prejudiced to automatically insinuate that the blacks are the ones who are stupid and poor? That's just how I read the Post's strong suggestion thereof.
Again, I just to make sure I understand things correctly - There's no poll tax in effect in Ferguson nor are there any Jim Crow laws or any literacy requirements on the books. If the oppressed blacks of Ferguson, Missouri want change in the complexion of their police department (instead of making sure the best cops available are hired), then why don't they demand such of their local officials?
As the Post pointed out, black residents of Ferguson essentially stayed home during the April 2013 municipal elections. Despite whites being roughly a third of citizenry, whites showed up to the polls greater than blacks by a 3-1 average. Now if it's due to odd years and no party affiliation being the reason, then why does Memphis, Philadelphia and Jacksonville all have black mayors? Why does Los Angeles and El Paso have Latino mayors? All those cities also happen to have their elections on odd numbered years.
What's happening in Ferguson now is exactly what happens when We The People just don't care anymore. But now that someone's been killed, the tear gas is flying, and agitators of all colors take take to the streets, are we suppose to throw out a slew of legitimate and transparent elections because of the threat of mob violence? That's not the way we do things in America.
If those so interested in burning down their own neighborhood because they don't like the way things are, now want immediate gratification in the wake of Michael Brown's killing, then maybe if they were more interested in voting instead of throwing Molotov Cocktails, maybe ... just maybe Michael Brown would still be alive right now. Just a thought.
By the way, just this weekend alone, there's been one killed and 26 wounded in Chicago shootings. No word if Barack Obama, Eric Holder or Al Sharpton will be mentioning or investigating or visiting the Windy City anytime soon.

(BlackDoctor.org) — The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently announced Tuesday that healthy women between the ages of 21 to 65 should only receive a Pap smear every three years. The federal panel, which is made up of experts in prevention and primary care, also did not support regular HPV screening for most women.
The experts warned that women are currently receiving too many Pap tests, saying the excessive screenings could cause more harm than good.
Instead of continuing to overtest, the task force said it would be better to reach out to those who have never been screened.
"There are a number of women who have never been screened, and that remains a challenge," said Wanda Nicholson, one of the task force leaders and associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Medical Center. "We need to keep those women at the top of our priority list and brainstorm for interventions for better access."
Since the Pap smear became a regular part of women's health, deaths from cervical cancer, which was once the No. 1 cancer killer among women, have dropped dramatically.
Cervical cancer screening is a success story, but the more testing you do, the more you run the risk of false positives, and potential harm over treatment," said Nicholson . "Cervical biopsies are associated with pain and bleeding, they can cause short-term anxiety and worry about these subsequent procedures, and those treatments can [up the] risk of poor pregnancy outcomes, including preterm or low-birth weight babies."
The new recommendations coincide with most of the task force's 2003 recommendations. One difference: The older guidelines recommended screening begin within three years of becoming sexually active, or at the age of 21, whichever comes first. Now, doctors say there is no need to begin regular screening before the age of 21, whether a woman is sexually active or not.
Most experts agree with the new guidelines.
"Cervical cancer can be slow growing and there really is no need for annual testing," said Dr. Ranit Mishori, assistant professor of family medicine at Georgetown University School of Medicine. "The hard part will be convincing patients, and particularly other doctors, that annual screens are not needed."

How bad is Saudi Arabia's airport staff? time to find out
The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has worked out programs to properly evaluate the performance of airport staff and give them orientation courses, GACA President Prince Fahd Bin Abdullah said in an interview with Okaz/Saudi Gazette.
"Those who prove their efficiency would survive and those who fail to do so will be removed from their posts," he said.
Prince Fahd said that several Saudi university and scholarship graduates have been employed temporarily at new airport construction sites so as to enable them to acquire experience.
According to GACA chief, most of the international and local airports in the Kingdom are not keeping pace with the Kingdom's overall growth and development boom.
Prince Fahd said that some 65 million domestic and foreign passengers use the Kingdom's air traffic sector in a year. The number of passengers at the Kingdom's local airports has shot up to 1.1 million. "We are striving to make available the best possible services for passengers. We are keen to increase our revenues to SR100 billion," he said.
The GACA chief also unveiled plans to hand over Riyadh's King Khaled International Airport to an independent company.
"Our another major ambition is the development of King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah.
"It will have the capacity to receive 30 million passengers with the completion of the ongoing first phase.
"The number of passengers will be increased to 45 million and 80 million with the completion of the second and third phases respectively," he added.

For instance, the way we're doing it now is like thus: (in the web.config)
<location path="somePath">
<allow roles="approvedRoles"/>
<deny users="*"/>
And what I would like to do instead is to store this information in SQL somewhere so that we can manipulate the information more easily. But we want to keep the same functionality that having the information in web.config provides, just like we can use a SqlRoleProvider instead of hardcoding roles in the app. So in other words, if a user currently tries to goto "somePath" and they're not a member of "approvedRoles" then they get redirected back to default.aspx, and if they are a member of "approvedRoles" then they get the page. I want to do the same thing, but without using web.config as the authorization mechanism.
So what I'm NOT asking is how do I go about defining roles, or how do I handle logging in to the database, but specifically how do I store the above information in SQL instead of web.config. Actually, I'll take "anywhere but web.config" for now.
Any ideas? Is this possible using a "Provider" class? I'm just looking for pointers on what to inherit and maybe some technet documentation. In this regard my googlefoo is lacking since I don't really know where to point. Am I really only looking for AzMan? Is this location-authorization-via-SQL already defined in the default aspnetdb somewhere and I'm missing it?
For that matter, has this question already been asked on SO and I've missed it? What would you google?

Parcells speaks about success, failure, tragedy, Mays
Yes, Bill Parcells has done an interview fairly recently.
He spoke with Christian Klemash, the author of "How to Succeed in the Game of Life: 34 Interviews with the World's Greatest Coaches."
The book also includes quotes from Bobby Bowden, Scotty Bowman, Joe Torre, John Wooden and the late Bill Walsh.
Here are some excerpts of the conversation with Parcells:
How would you define success?
"That's pretty easy for me. I would say that success is never final, but failure can be. In my business, success is never going to satisfy anybody. It's only a temporary gratification. They're gonna want more. So I've learned to deal with that. You have to forward. No matter what you achieve, you've gotta move forward. It's gotta be onward and upward because it's not final. You can go from being pretty successful to pretty downtrodden and you can do it very quickly, particularly in this business."
Who was your childhood hero and why?
"When I was young, baseball was the preeminent sport at the time, along with horse racing and boxing. Football and basketball were not primary sports when I was a 10-year-old. So I would have to say, being in the New York area, that Willie Mays was the guy that I thought about the most, that I saw and witnessed. He was a young player coming up right there in the early fifties. You know, I was about 10 years old. He was my guy. He was the best player I ever saw."
What was the best advice you were ever given?
"Probably the best advice I was ever given was from my dad. He said, 'One of the more difficult things to do is decide what you want. But decide what you want to do and then be willing to persist until you give yourself the best chance to achieve that.' In other words, he was talking about something I use with my teams all the time — staying power — to have instant gratification; that's not what you should be expecting."
Can you give me an example of how you overcame adversity?
"The thing that happened to me happened pretty much all at once. I was named the head coach of the Giants in 1983, and that first year things went very, very poorly, including some tragic things in my personal life. Both of my parents died within a six-month period during that year. My mom died during the season; my father right after the season. A guy that I had driven to work with every day for almost six years, a coach that I had coached with in college named Rich Doughery, was killed in a plane crash. Then one of my assistant coaches with the Giants, a fellow named Bob Ledbetter, had a stroke and died. And this was all during a season that was going very poorly. Then after the season, I found out that the organization was looking around at another coach. And from one year — which, quite frankly, retrospectively now, after what they'd seen — I really don't blame then. But I did blame them at the time. But I did get another chance, fortunately, to continue. And then I just altered the way I did things from that point on. I became much more focused, much more determined, much more aggressive, with much more of me trying to impose my will on the situation. And it worked for me. It worked. Things started going a lot better then. That was probably the low point for me."
What is the most important quality for success?
"Integrity. You can't (B.S.) yourself, excuse the language. You need to have integrity. You know I read something about Warren Buffett one time where he said that having intelligence and ambition without integrity will kill you. I think you have to be honest and forthright. I just think that's important."
How would you relate money to success?
"Money's a very relative thing. It's a tool for me; it's a vehicle for comfort. It's not anything that I deem to be on par with achievements. I don't think that it's relative to achievement. Now, I know that a lot of people feel like it is, but I don't. I don't think it's a real reflection of anything to do with success. I talk to my teams a lot about it. I say, 'This game can give you a lot of comforts. It can make you famous, it can make you wealthy. But it can't give you championships. It can't give you the pinnacle. You have to earn that.' It's much different on that front because there's a certain commitment that's involved to do those things. And I know a lot of people that are wealthy, only by good fortune. Some of them get lucky, some of them inherited it, you know. Some of them hit the lottery. Does that make the guy successful?"

Easy Basket Weaving
Basket weaving hasn't been so easy with this method: weave around a cardboard frame. Originally, I saw this method in a Japanese craft magazine, I searched around for the template but can't find it any where locally or online. So, I built it based on my dimension.
I would say that this is a wonderful idea to make basket, with this method and concept, basically you can build a lot of shapes and sizes that you want. Here, I demo it with 3 shapes: triangle, round and square, but you can come out with rectangle, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon & even octagon with just a little tweak in the design. The height can be modified to suit your preference. One thing you have to take note is that the sum of the "fingers" on the frame must be in odd number. Take a closer look at my template, especially the square basket, you will notice that one of the sides has 1 extra "finger" than the other 3 sides. I guessed the original design is made from plywood, I can't find thin plywood so I used thick cardboard instead which is also cheaper and manageable.
You can use any material to weave the frame of the basket, as long as they are "weave-able", not too bulky and in long soft strips, eg: twine, yarn, fabric strip, ribbon, rope, glossy paper strip, plastic, raffia etc…. I used jute twine to make the triangle and round faux wicker baskets, and fabric strips for the square basket. I love the way they were formed, very sturdy and rigid!!!!

Hello. Your blog is outstanding. I love how simple and beautiful your creations are.
Would you mind a followup post to this and show us how to make lids for these boxes? I'm thinking something along the lines of a linen or table napkin-covered top with button lid in the center.
I am just really impressed with you. **Really** impressed. Nice job.10
Thanks for the ideas! I've been looking for easy baskets for kids to weave during VBS and I think a simplified version of yours will work! Thanks!11

Hi, I was looking for a craft for girl guides to do this easter, and I thought that this would be a great idea. I made one at home following your template and instructions and it looks very good, but I am having a problem with the rim of the basket. I can't find pegs like you use, and I was wondering if you knew of another way to secure the string aorund the top? Thanks for your help, and a great craft none the less.20
Pingback:Yün ipliklerden sepetler | Gider Mi?
Wonderful DIY! I wanted to thank you for it!
And have a question: am I right that when you are doing a rim it is the same pattern as weaving the main part of a basket?
hello.thank you. it was very easy for kids,and old peaple,i injoy your way for handi cfart.i like anather new ways.22
That's really cute and looks like a lot of fun! 🙂23
I teach middle school and we are learning about some basketweaving cultures from the Southwest USA. I think this would be a great object lesson.24

I have to do a Native American project so this helped a lot26
Super cute idea! Im havimg trouble downloading tem plate, could I , make that myself? Was it difficult?27
Great idea for weaving. You could recycle plastic sheets, though they would need to be thick enough. I have seen some that would work though can't remember what they were originally for.
Well done!28

After a very successful day one of the Oceania Grand Prix Series and Melanesian Championships day 2 is set to produce some very good results.
Today's finals of the 400 and 800 metres will see some of the best in the Pacific go head to head.
Aunese Curreen and Isireli Naikelekelevesi look set to fight out the men's 800 metres while the PNG trio will be difficult to split in the women's 800 metres. A fast finishing Salome Dell took out the women's heat on Tuesday night, but will come up with strong opposition in Ann Mooney and Cecilia Kumalalamene.
Curreen ran close to his best on Tuesday night in a time of 1:49.75 while Naikelekelevesi was second in a time of 1:51.89. This will no doubt be one of the top races of the Championships.
Beatrice Faumuina will throw in tonight's discus competition as part of her final preparation for Osaka
A full set of results will be available at the end of competition.

The woodwind student in the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College benefits from a faculty of extraordinary artists and abundant facilities in an atmosphere of high musical standards. The wind faculty, as well as the whole faculty in the conservatory, is made up of actively performing artists who are very sought after in their field. The curriculum of both the undergraduate and graduate programs includes exposure and performance opportunities in chamber music, new music, early music, and orchestral repertoire, in addition to the students' intense focus on solo repertoire.
The woodwind program in the Conservatory of Music encompasses flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon. The undergraduate instrumental performance major with a concentration in woodwinds leads to the Bachelor of Music degree, and a three programs are offered for graduate students: a Master of Music, Artist Diploma, and Performers Certificate. In addition to private lessons, all woodwind students participate in the Purchase Symphony Orchestra, which presents orchestral concerts, a ballet production, and an opera each year. In addition to the orchestral experience, students perform in chamber music ensembles each semester, which are coached once a week by a member of our esteemed faculty. Students give recitals and perform in ensembles and master classes given by visiting artists throughout the year. There is also extensive, in-depth work in ear training, music theory, and music history and, at the undergraduate level, a required component of liberal arts general education. The Conservatory of Music prides itself on its supportive, collegial atmosphere and its detailed attention to the progress and development of each student.
The Purchase College campus is situated in the peaceful atmosphere of Westchester County, 35 minutes from New York City, with all of its musical and cultural attractions. One doesn't even need to travel that distance, since literally steps outside the doors of the Music Building is the college's Performing Arts Center, which has an extensive concert season featuring the world's most renowned artists. Many of these artists give master classes and open rehearsals for our students.
Unlike many conservatories, we are very fortunate in the Conservatory of Music to have outstanding facilities in which to practice, rehearse, and record. The conservatory also has state-of-the-art digital recording studios.
The members of our woodwind faculty perform with the New York Woodwind Quintet, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the New York City Ballet Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic.

You thought that the last time you'd ever have colored glasses frames (and not just chrome or basic black) was the second grade, but that was before you saw the Marva Cobalt Leaf frames ($145), a collaboration between popular glasses brand Warby Parker and fashion editor Leith Clark. Perhaps because the frames actually fit your head now (and don't make you look like a bug), you can stand to add some pattern and color (a beautiful shade of blue) to your glasses rotation.

Oh Rouge, you have a lot to learn about cars it seems. I have had four cars of my own in my life so far and only one of them has been new (the one I own now). The first one had 180,000 miles on it when I sold it for $1500 (Bought it for $1200), the second I bought for $4000 at 40,000 miles, sold it at 210,000 miles for $1200 (did I get my moneys worth? it never broke down except for one flat tire) and my third I got for free from my dad at 100,000 miles and sold for $500 at 280,000 miles and it never broke down except for one flat tire and one bad water pump but it made it home that time anyway. I still have my fourth car and it only has 30,000 miles and I paid way to much for it. Drive it till it dies or it is almost there buddy.
Good luck, I feel your pain. Just wait until you have kids and a wife, they are worse than cars and you trade them in for a new model. Just kidding.

modelling personal conversations
By DaveLevy on Jan 23, 2007
The workshop was opened by Bertolt Meyer of Humbolt University, Berlin, who has recently published research into the fact that Knowledge Repositories don't work. Once he said it, it becomes obvious, have you ever found one that did.
He and his collaborators insight goes beyond the view that the central data model consists of documents, activities, topics and most importantly people. It is necessary to transform the knowledge management system into a knowledge network consisting of people and their connections and reasons for connection. They have built an application proving these insights at ioe-skillmap.hu-berlin.de.
The network visualisation functionality is delivered using prefuse, and the key data model insight is that the relationship between nodes possesses multiple attribute, particularly those of parent/child, similie/loose and vector.

Just curious, and board
Mine, galloping bareback along the river banks, during the full moon, it was amazing, just the sound of the river and my mares hoof beats, and no-one around to spoil it. It was the best feeling in the world, and no-one to spoil it.

The best memory i have is of flying over the ocean and watching the stars and eating a shoe lace. Landed on an island like the one on Lost and had a right jolly time making a stable out of bamboo and leaves. Then we went for a swim with a dolphin and caught a fish which we ate around a camp fire.

It has to easily be the first time my loaned ex-riding school pony softened and worked in relaxed outline for the first time. It was just me and him an a huge outdoor school, the sun was out and he relaxed his back, engaged his back end, dropped his nose and away we went. It doesn't sound like much, but he'd not worked in a proper outline for years having been used for novices at the end of his career. He made me feel like we were flying around the school in perfect unity! Miss you Duffy!

I just got back from a trip to my favorite place to not be a New Yorker — Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My brother and his kids moved there 16 years ago. During that time Paul has not only blended, he's become a native and hard-core river-rafting rat. And his place is assured on any raft provided he brings along his Elk Vindaloo. This recipe's origins came from Madhur Jaffrey's terrific book Quick & Easy Indian Cooking (Chronicle Books, 1996), but like any good cook, my brother has adapted it to his tastes and availability of ingredients, including whether he got an elk over the winter's season. I'm sure venison would work as well as elk, but if neither is your bag, lamb, pork (or a combination) works well too. Give it a try. The river raft and rapids are optional, (except to Paul…)
Paul's Elk (or Lamb or Pork) Vindaloo Makes 3-4 servings
From Madhur Jaffrey's Quick & Easy Indian Cooking:
"The essential ingredients for this Portuguese-inspired Indian dish are wine vinegar and garlic. Additions of mustard seeds, cumin, turmeric, and chilies make it specifically colonial Goan. Most recipes for vindaloo involve grinding seeds in vinegar. To save this step, I have used grainy French mustard, which already contains vinegar. It works beautifully. This dish may be made in the pressure cooker (20 minutes of simmering time), or in a frying pan (1 hour or so of simmering.) Either way, once the simmering starts, the cook can read a book, sleep, or have a drink!" (This is Madhur's suggestion, written in the recipe…I always liked her!)

Other than spending a day skiing fresh powder at Alta, there's not a much better way to celebrate the iconic Utah resort's 75th birthday than with a beer... And a commemorative brew, developed by the Wasatch Brewery and Alta ski enthusiasts, seems just about right.
Wasatch and Alta teamed up last week to kick off the ski season and the resort's milestone anniversary by rolling out the Alta 75th Anniversary Ale. Deep copper in color with a malty introduction and hoppy finish, the pale ale is dressed up with the Alta logo, a sweet downhill ski shot and a white cap (you know, "snowcapped.")
"Alta has always been this historic icon for the Utah ski experience, and we feel really privileged to be helping them celebrate this milestone," says Greg Schirf, operating partner of Utah Brewers Cooperative. "Our brewing staff, under the leadership of Dan Burick, has met the challenge to brew a beer that commiserates with the quality and integrity that the Alta Resort is all about."
Alta, after all, is a bit of a beer and beverage town. By 1878, long before skiing became the main attraction on the mountain, 26 saloons were at home in the rugged mining community, and the other 19 business at the time included restaurants, billiards halls and general stores carrying liquor alongside dynamite and provisions.
The Anniversary Ale—brewed, bottled and packed up at the Salt Lake City brewery—is bottled for the 2012-13 ski seaon and will be available in Sqatters and Wasatch pubs, the Beer Store (1763 S. 300 West, SLC), restaurants, resorts and grocery and convenience stores near Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons.

"The Alta 75th Anniversary Ale will be embraced like teo feet of fresh powder," Schirf predicts.

Jigsaw Renaissance had a big week last week. Our fearless leader, Willow Brugh, spoke at two Seattle Tech events related to Geek Week; Gnomedex and the OpenUP Speakers Forum at SeedSpace.
Gnomedex is yearly tech event that brings together Innovators and Influential Techies to showoff how Technology is changing the world. The Venue for Gnomedex is great, it is usually held on the water at Pier 66's Bell Harbor Conference Center. The conference is run by Chris Pirillo the founder of Lockergnome, a network of blogs, web forums, mailing lists and online communities. It is well worth checking out.
The OpenUP Speakers Forum is of great interest to me. It is a place for people "to share their projects and learn how using open source principles and Creative Commons licences can help them to more effectively collaborate with other like-minded people to build better businesses, lives and communities." It is great to see open source and Creative Commons getting some traction here in Seattle. The ability to easily remix and reuse content is essential to hackers and makers. The Venue for the OpenUP Speakers Forum is Seedspace a community driven coworking space aimed at developers, freelances and independent business owners. My favorite part about speakers form is the core principles: Openness, Transparency, Community, and 'Early and Often.' The first three are all over the open source community but the last one is less common but just as important:
Early and Often
Open Source is about Prototyping and developing as a community. By harnessing the power of a community Open Source has more then just a small limited number of developers. By Releasing a Project and developing it as an larger community allows much more input and skill to be added to the mix.
Also allowing others to witness the unfolding and development of the project allows a deeper sharing and can help others in the creation of similar projects.
If anyone has video of either of these talks please ping me so that we can get them up online. I know Gnomedex will have official copies up in a month or two, but even a flip version would be great until then.

The two day event was threatened with rain both days, but Mother Nature cooperated, and the weather was great; if you like it hot.
No trees to hide under or cast a cooling breeze, the Auto City Speedway was packed for the two day festival. Growers , caregivers, suppliers, and entrepreneurs were everywhere, and any product you could want or think of, was available; and of course some you never heard of.
Freebies and giveaways were everywhere, and the VIP tickets scored you a goodie bag and special treatment! At any given time, vendors/growers were seen tossing out various goodies; even BUDS!
Except for a lot charging $20.00, the parking was fair, at $5.00, in several businesses near the speedway. It did seem a bit much for the speedway to charge 10.00 for on site parking, but greed is rampant these days, and generosity rare!
Edible treats were everywhere, with one of the most popular being the Raspberry and Cherry ice creams. It was a bit hot for medicinal chocolates, but if you wanted one, they had them!
A couple ambulances were dispatched, heat stroke was a possibility with high temperatures and high humidity looming over the crowded speedway. No doubt, the novelty of such an event in this area would have facilitated many eager and greedy participants into over-indulging!
Rumors of the return of the "Cannabis Cup" are circulating, but there's sure to be some sort of festival like this again. There was too much money circulating in a venture of capitalism and freedom, for there not to be another one again soon.
Why Michigan? Well, Michiganders have been growing Marijuana since the 70's, and probably before that. Vietnam Veterans returned with exotic strains including the Cambodian, a very Skunky strain. With each overseas conflict, new seeds made it home to the USA; and industrious and experienced growers seized the opportunity to domesticate them. Michigan grows great Catnip, robust Tomatoes, and it grows excellent Cannabis. With the increase of indoor growing, the clone became popular; and now there's no looking back.
Educate yourself, learn the laws of the area, and proceed with caution.

Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton took a special trip to Normandy this week in order to honor the veterans of D-Day and their sacrifice. Christian Post reports this Friday, June 6, 2014, that today marks the 70th anniversary of the historic event, D-Day, and the British royal family was joined by such political figures as President Obama and Vladimir Putin while paying tribute to the fallen soldiers. Although a Bild photo scandal and rumors surrounding Kate Middleton pregnant again have reigned in recent weeks, the drama was forgotten today in recognition of the solemn occasion.
Americans from across the U.S. nation honor our D-Day veterans on this 70th anniversary of the momentous storming of the French beaches, and the U.K.'s own William and Kate were among them. President Obama was heard by thousands as he spoke of the spirit and sacrifice made by our World War II soldiers — both veterans and those who lost their lives — noting that they are all in "good hands."
The British queen Elizabeth stood harmoniously alongside Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande, Angela Merkel of Germany, Canada's very own Stephen Harper, and finally current Russian leader Vladimir Putin. With Prince William and Duchess Kate in presence, President Obama reminded everyone in attendance of the great "peril" of this day, 70 years ago.
"Here, we don't just commemorate victory, as proud of that victory as we are; we don't just honor sacrifice, as grateful as the world is; we come to remember why America and our allies gave so much for the survival of liberty at this moment of maximum peril," Obama said during a moving speech for the honored veterans."
Kate Middleton has surfaced in celebrity news frequently after her major wardrobe malfunction — already being cited as the Bild photo scandal — involving her bare bum hit the Web last month. Yet the focus today was rightfully on the classiness of the British royal figure alongside her husband as they paid their respects to the vets. News of having Duchess Kate pregnant again has also been forgotten and fallen to the wayside, adds the press release.
Beauty World News also notes that Prince William took a moment to offer a public address in memory of all those people who gave their lives on both sides of the major world war. Getting a little emotional, William said in his own speech:
"They gave up everything for our freedom," he said. "They lie now together in the beautifully kept cemeteries that lie on the coast… However, today is also about the young. It is vital that this sacrifice, and the reasons for this sacrifice, are never forgotten."
This point of focusing on the importance of D-Day being remembered among the youth of our countries is equally important to the past, it seems. And in this rare display of unity among our world leaders, perhaps it is the reminder of these brave men and women — as well as the veterans' service and sacrifice — that we need to reflect on most today.

What do you get when you combine two fearless females with a savvy business sense, a thirst for adventure, and a creative ease with pen and ink (or rather keyboard)?–The Voyage Vixens–a duo made up of freelance writers and adventure junkies, Lanee Neil and Lindsay Taub.
They do everything from cupcake crawls in NYC, visiting orphanages in Nairobi, and rappelling into 160 foot deep caverns. What we love about the Voyage Vixens is that they not only tell stories about their own adventures (which are very entertaining in their own right), but they also provide a slew of useful travel articles that range from healthy traveling, gear reviews, spreading awareness about different non-profits, and spotlighting art and film festivals from around the world.
With a gold mine of information on their blog and a penchant for adventure, it's no wonder why the Voyage Vixens are one of our favorite travel bloggers. We sat down with Lanee and Lindsay to pick their brains about their past, how travel has changed them, and what the Voyage Vixens blog is all about.
1. What made you transition from freelance writers to becoming full-fledged travel bloggers?
We noticed there were plenty of hardcore adventure bloggers as well as luxury travel bloggers, but not a whole lot of female voices that wanted both! That's when we decided to launch Voyage Vixens – an online magazine and YouTube web series championing adventure AND the finer things in life, as well as humanitarian works around the globe that we're passionate about.
2. How did you both meet each other to found the Voyage Vixens?
Lanee: We met on a press trip. The friendship was sealed that first night, teaching Lindsay how to smoke her first hookah pipe in Calgary, Canada of all places!
Lindsay: I'd like to add that it was actually a mutual fascination with a GQ cowboy who sang on horseback up to the summit at Lake Louise that really sealed the fate. HA!
3. You mention that, among other things, you travel to experience "scream-your-lungs-out daredevil stunts." What would you say are some things that you've done that fall under this category? How about things you want to do?
Lanee: My favorite stunt so far was skydiving on my 30th birthday and Toronto's Edgewalk, hanging off a building 1,100 feet in the air, has to be a close second. If there was a way to jimmy rig physics, I'd like to do a tandem base jump off the Himalayas or maybe through the streets of Paris.
Lindsay: I'm definitely in agreement with Lanee about Edgewalk – insane! That "impulse to jump" is real. Skydiving is on my favorites list too, but for me it was in Interlaken, Switzerland surrounded by the Alps. Another highlight for me was getting to fly in an experimental aircraft with the sport air racing league in Texas – we did barrel rolls and all – I felt like Maverick in Top Gun. Most recently, we went ice climbing for the first time in Ouray, Colorado, which was a true test of our physical and mental capacities. You can watch a video of it here. As far as the ultimate bucket list, I want to go to space. It's probably never going to happen, but boy do I want to! If we could somehow be the female pioneers for space tourism, you can sign me up now.
4. Do you feel like you reached a turning point after doing so much traveling? For example, have certain trips represented new chapters in your lives?
Lanee: Each trip, including the people I met, represents a new chapter in my life. And I am always raring to write another one. I suffer from incurable wanderlust, so the book is going to be very long.
Lindsay: Mark Twain said "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness…" and I've certainly found that to be true. Africa was the biggest life-changer for me. The safari was a luxury, indeed, but it was the people we met along the way who had the greatest impact. The contrast between the primitive ways of life in the Maasai villages versus the slums in Nairobi was mind-blowing. And yet the generous spirit, commune with nature, and joy for life was palpable. Then, we get on a plane to New York, and on the way home a kid was throwing a tantrum about Justin Bieber not being available on the in-flight entertainment. I was sick to my stomach! I've had a hard time ever since that trip finding any acceptance with the waste and extravagant indulgences that all-too-many people place so much value on.
5. Lanee, it's mentioned that the first thing you do to experience a new culture is to dive into their food and have a toast of the local brew. What has been your favorite epicurean experience while traveling?
Hmm, so many! I loved a wine pairing dinner at Wrath Wines in Monterey County, CA recently where we talked chickens and romance (yes, they do go together) with winemaker Sabrine Rodems. For the unorthodox epicurean experience, I was on a camel trek to a remote village in Rajasthan. Our guide was like a magician, making a delicious three-course meal with what appeared to be measly supplies: flour, oil, spices, potatoes, and dried chilies!
6. Lindsay, what would you say is the first thing you do to take in a new culture, and what has been your most memorable experience?
I tend to be a bit reserved and quiet at first. I like to observe before engaging because if you don't let your gut steer you, you can miss the simple nuances of a culture. I think the most important thing to do is be fully present and let Western mentality fade. And that applies anywhere in the world, even at home! Discovering what motivates people and makes them unique is probably one of my greatest passions or curiosities. Aside from Africa, the most memorable for me was traveling solo in Estonia. I was on a mission to discover my roots and retrace the steps of my grandfather before he left the country in the mid-1940s. It was a deeply personal trip that connected me to my family and where we came from.
7. If you could take any Mountain Travel Sobek trip, which one would you take and why?
Lanee: New Zealand: The Best of the North Island. It looks amazing, and of course I'd want to add some of New Zealand's wacky adventures, like zorbing and canyon swinging!
Lindsay: The Antarctica Expedition to the South Pole! You had me at "the last wild, unspoiled place on earth."
8. Why do you think you have such a thirst for adventure, and how do you hope to inspire others to explore a life of adventure?
Lanee: We always say, "There's something wrong if we don't have a helmet and a harness on." I was born curious with an extremely short attention span. What could be better? Challenging myself physically and seeing the world.
Lindsay: For me, adventure brings out my best. I've never been good with limits and boundaries. I have a rebel within that aches to come out and while I get scared and nervous beforehand, the personal fulfillment of being able to say, "oh yeah! I did that!" runs deep. You get to see what you're really made of.
Lanee: I think we're regular gals with problems and faults just like everyone else. By being real and sharing our 'how-not-to' mistakes in traveling, hopefully it encourages our readers that they too can do it. And travel is really the best peacemaker in the world.
Lindsay: Exactly. We've found in our own lives that the best way to get "un-stuck" – whether it's from a job you hate, a relationship that isn't working, or whatever it is – is to have an adventure that pushes you to get out of your comfort zone. It's about getting comfortable being uncomfortable and we hope that by showing people our experiences in a raw and honest manner, putting it all out there, we'll inspire. We certainly don't gloss it up! What you see is what you get.

You go to work. You're on time; ready; and always available to meet the needs of your customers and coworkers. You are flexible; friendly; and forthright when it comes to generating new ideas and taking your company to a new level. You are, for lack of better words, a stellar employee. So why would you ever 'hate' where you work?
Courtesy of istockphoto.com
We work for other people and live by their rules and regulations. They dictate when we can get up; go to sleep; take breaks; smoke; whatever the case may be. We are not in complete control of our lives and for the most part – we are okay with that because at the end of the week, somewhere in the middle of the month, or once a month we get compensated for giving up our freedoms. We eagerly cash our pay checks like a thirty year old family man waiting for the test results. We hand over our booty to the man; Uncle Sam; the light man; the phone man; the cable man. And just when you think you've finished chucking your final buck you find yourself – yep you guessed it – enslaved to the job once again; at least for the next week, two weeks, thirty days whatever the case may be.
Sounds bleak but you've got to work right? Got to eat. But, because there is always a but, you're becoming frustrated. You feel unappreciated. The stellar work you used to put your last breath into is just enough for the boss not to complain. You're energy level has waned and before you know it the love affair is on the fritz and you're firing up the sites in search for replacements.
You are not alone. No matter how much money you make or how much respect and responsibility you have – you will one day hate your job. We all do and we all will. And like any love affair these bumps in the road are par for the course. The honeymoon can't last forever and you can't go jumping in and out of everybody's bed because you're having a 'not so stellar day'. So what do you do? It's not as difficult as you think.

Remove. Release. Relax.
Sounds to simple but the most complex issues usually are. We are sometimes too intelligent for our own good. We think and over think and the answers are as effortless as a spring fling. When it gets too hard, remove yourself from the situation. Find somewhere, some way or somehow to release. And once you've released condition your mind and body to relax. When our minds are clear and the angst has settled we make better decisions and oftentimes it isn't as terrible as we think. Many a relationship could be saved if we just took the time to 'clear our minds' and 'relax our spirits'. Who knows, maybe the love affair can start a new.

Uniting a divided highwayProject: Highway 213 Jughandle Improvement Project
Managing agency: City of Oregon City, Ore.
Primary transportation engineering consultant: Kittelson & Associates Inc.
Primary engineering consultant: OBEC Consulting Engineers
Primary contractor: Mowat Construction Co.
An average daily traffic (ADT) count of 65,000 didn't by itself make the intersection of Highway 213 with I-205 in Oregon City one of Oregon's most congested corridors. A barrier was preventing left turns and straight movements across the highway at the northbound interstate ramps and the Clackamas River Drive-Washington Street intersection.
In 2011, Oregon City and the state DOT partnered on a series of traffic and safety improvements that were wrapped up in the summer of 2013:
Traffic to and from Washington Street and Clackamas River Drive off of the highway now travels a "jughandle" configuration that eliminates the need for left turns.
The plan required a highway bridge to be replaced. Staging construction traditionally would have closed at least two travel lanes for 12 to 16 months. Instead, the project team's plan kept all lanes open during construction via accelerated bridge construction. A new, 130-foot bridge superstructure was built next to the existing highway; the old bridge demolished; and the new bridge moved into its place.
In addition to shaving six months off construction time, the approach allowed the contractor to maintain unrestricted daytime traffic during all but four days and five nights of the two-year construction timeline.

Next year's award deadline: March 4, 2014
The project had a fill area in the floodplain of 39,000 cubic yards, and to meet city code requirements to balance cut and fill, an additional 27,000 cubic yards was necessary. The site of a previous lumber mill, it was converted to wetlands populated with native species to address the city's floodplain and natural resource protection requirements. Tree stumps from the excavation were used to create habitat, and sawdust was over-excavated from the site to improve growing conditions and reused by local landscape companies.
Extensive public involvement and outreach, including a newsletter and webpage featuring a live construction camera, was implemented before and during the closure to ensure drivers were aware of the closure.
Result: The entire process, including excavating 433 cubic yards of asphalt and 8,000 to 10,000 cubic yards of material under existing roadway, was completed on time by March 27, 2012.

Renewable-energy sources are expected to contribute up to 80% of the global energy supply by 2050, according to a report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
A key message from the report is that renewable-energy sources will be paramount in the global battle against climate change, and their role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions will be considerably more important than that of natural gas, carbon capture and storage, or nuclear power. The report considers the potential contribution from biomass, geothermal, hydro, ocean, solar and wind energy. Read more

This Easter weekend many of us will be gathering with friends and family, laying out huge feasts, eating until we're stuffed and then packing away all the leftovers, already dreaming of how delicious they'll all be tomorrow.
But for other less-fortunate persons - people with no family, no home and little means for survival - come Sunday, there won't be a delicious meal to look forward to and no place to go. There will be no feast. No table. And certainly, no leftovers. Too many of these people won't even remember when their last meal was. That is, unless they live in South Florida and have run across the compassionate souls who run the Peanut Butter & Jelly Project, a small group of Fort Lauderdale residents who could no longer ignore the plight of hunger in their own back yard and set out to make a difference.
Laura Florio, owner of Quillen's Bottle Gas Service, had seen a Vine featuring "Ten for $10" wherein ten people had been fed for ten dollars that resonated with her weeks earlier. When she found herself shopping in BJ's and looked down into her cart filled with several hundred dollars of items for her own family, she suddenly started grabbing things she thought would make a decent meal to see how many people she could feed for an extra $50 - a relatively small sum compared to what she was already spending.
Around 3:30 in the afternoon that same day, Florio and fiancée Micah Harris, Guru, Life Coach and Bartender Extraordinaire, packed a bunch of sandwiches and bottled water into their car and started circling the streets around Stranahan Park in Downtown Fort Lauderdale to spot people who looked like they could use a meal. To her surprise, they found a few, but not many. Unwilling to give up, and with fifty or so bologna sandwiches in the car, they kept at it and around 5 pm, it was as if hungry people suddenly "came out of hiding," Florio says. And that day, February 3, 2014, fifty people were fed. "We could do this once a week," she said.
Florio started to mention what her and Harris and done to a few friends who offered to chip in. This time, with a budget of $100, she hit the streets again armed with bags of food, this time feeding close to a hundred hungry people. She started to reach out to people she knew, requesting donations of clothes and money for the cause, but it came in trickles. Then she started a Facebook page and got some likes, a few more people offered to help out, some with money, and some with time.
Florio researched prices where she shopped, crunched some numbers and calculated that she could make bags containing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a bag of pretzels, a banana and a bottle of water for around a buck. One dollar would feed one person. One. Single. U.S. American. Dollar. Then a friend made a logo that was added to the PB&J Facebook page and they got a thousand likes in a month. They started a PayPal account and donations started piling in and thus, the Peanut Butter & Jelly Project was born.
Hearing what Florio had been doing, a kind Fort Lauderdale resident who wishes to remain nameless, approached her about starting a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization and handed her a check to cover the pricey filing fee, ensuring that the donation money would continue to feed people and her mission could continue without having to designate funds to that expense.
Florio started asking for clothing donations and used some funds to purchase basic toiletries - underwear, razors, Tylenol, baby wipes - things that end up becoming prized possessions for people living on the street. A few hair stylist friends offered their time and set up chairs to give hair cuts to those who wanted them. What started as a once a week gig has turned into a Monday through Friday operation and now has a much more comprehensive and solutions-based approach.
"Simple things we take for granted..Cold medicine. Tylenol. AdviI. I bought 500 of each for $9 bucks and handed them out. These people, some of them are up there in years, their bodies hurt from sleeping on concrete and they don't have access to these things that you or I could just grab at CVS. People just don't even think about things like that. These people don't get to shower. I buy boxes of baby wipes and bag them up for people. Being able to wash themselves even a little, these things mean so much to them. Being able to shave. It helps them feel better. Feel human. It's important."
Florio is dismayed about the huge misconception that most people hold about homelessness and hunger, thinking that people on the streets are all just dirty bums, drug addicts or alcoholics. Florio says that's not been her experience at all, and she's been out there with them, even visiting their "spot" where many of them congregate.
"These people came from somewhere. They had lives before this, homes, families. I have a guy out there who is an engineer. He took time to care for his ailing father and after his father died, lost his job. He ran through his 401K, eventually got booted out of his home. He has no drug problems, no drinking problems. He's 48 years old, educated, and he's a kind and decent human being. He's just down on his luck and has been homeless for 4 months now. I helped him get job placement...he has this impeccable resume, and now he's off the streets. What these people want and need...it's a lot different than what people think. They need an advocate. Someone willing to listen."
It started simply, with just the desire to help fill an empty belly, but has grown into so much more. Since starting in February, Florio has helped three veterans she's met get signed up for their military benefits after verifying that their service is legitimate. She's also helping reunite people with their families to places as far away as Nebraska, Arizona and South Carolina. Not willing to trade homelessness here for homelessness there, Florio verifies that there is a safe place for the person to go and that someone will be receiving them once they arrive. She asks for a notarized letter and a call upon arrival, and so far, she's helped six people get off the street and get home. "Sometimes, all that's standing in the way of someone being off the street is a phone call, $200 bucks and a few days on a bus." says Florio.
Florio's aim with her Peanut Butter & Jelly Project is to eventually set up a full-service shelter that operates with more transparency and no corruption like many of the shelters that are out there currently. But for now she plans to just keep feeding as many people as possible and fight for people's right to exist and hopefully turn the tide on homelessness and hunger in her neighborhood.
As you sit down to your Easter feast this weekend, think about what you can do to help. And please, don't do nothing because you can only do a little, $1 = 1 person fed. The best way I've found so far to Stay Foodie, Fort Lauderdale, is to make sure everybody has some.

We know you sneak your pup a taste of beer (or gin, or wine, or whatever your drink of choice for the evening!). We know because we do it too. But beer isn't particularly good for dogs, and we should put the kabosh on the habit to keep our dogs in good health. Sub Bowser Dog Beer & Pretzel Snacks ($12) in place of real beer. It keeps your pup in the party spirit, and is delish (well, to dogs!) to boot. The "beer" is made from USDA approved chicken and beef, and the pretzel snacks are peanut butter flavored. And what dog doesn't go crazy over peanut butter?!

WHAT: Sun Devil Women's Basketball at Texas Tech
WHEN: Sunday at 2 p.m. CT/1 p.m. MT
WHERE: United Spirit Arena, Lubbock, Texas
The Arizona State women's basketball team (1-1), plays the second of two consecutive road contests on Sunday (2 p.m. CT/1 p.m. MT) when it travels to Lubbock, Texas, to take on Texas Tech (2-0).
The Sun Devils are currently in a stretch in which they are playing five of six games away from home. ASU will return home to host Providence on Saturday before heading to Cancun, Mexico, where it will plays contests against Illinois, North Carolina and Arkansas State.
• ASU dropped its first lost for the first time this season, falling at San Diego, 61-53 on Wednesday night.
• Seniors Deja Mann and Adrianne Thomas and freshman Sophie Brunner scored 12 points each to lead ASU's offensive effort.
• After shooting 40% from the floor in the first half ASU was only able to hit 27 percent of its shots in the second half and only made one three-pointer during the game.
• The game's pivotal sequence came right after Mann hit a three-pointer to tie the game at 45-45 with 7:56 remaining. Mann's triple capped a 15-3 run by the Sun Devils, who found themselves down by 12 (42-30) five minutes into the second half. ASU's shooting would go cold at that point, as it would not score over the next 5:55. The Toreros would score nine points over that stretch before Thomas' layup with 2:01 left cut the lead to 54-47. The Sun Devils would get no closer than six the rest of the way.
• Brunner, who made six of her nine field goal attempts, and fellow freshman Kelsey Moos tied for the team lead with seven rebounds each. The duo combined for nine of ASU's 11 offensive boards.
• Texas Tech returns six players from last year's team that went 21-11 and nearly advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament as it lost by one point in the first round.
• The Lady Raiders return only one starter from last year's team, which advanced to the NCAA Tournament.
• Texas Tech leads the all-time series 4-3 and has won the last two meetings vs. ASU. Last season the Sun Devils were defeated by Texas Tech 61-49 in the 2012-13 season opener in Tempe. In 2007, the Lady Raiders upset ASU (then ranked No. 18) 73-69 in Lubbock.
• In 2006, ASU was victorious 61-45 in a game that was played outdoors at Chase Field in Phoenix.
• Two Sun Devils – seniors Deja Mann (13.0 ppg) and Adrianne Thomas (11.0 ppg) – are currently averaging double figures in scoring.
• Thomas (9-12) and Mann (7-7) have combined to shoot 84 percent (16-19) from the line in the season's first two games.
• Mann has five assists and only one turnover, while Thomas leads the team with five steals.
• Senior Joy Burke (7) and freshmen Sophie Brunner (7) and Kelsey Moos (6) have combined for 20 of ASU's 24 offensive boards.
• ASU's bench has outscored the opposition's bench 62-34 in the firs two games. Brunner (6-9 FGs) and sophomore Arnecia Hawkins (5-9 FGs) are both averaging 6.0 ppg off the bench in the first two games. The duo has combined to shoot 61 percent (11-18 FGs).
• Five different Sun Devils – Mann (2x), Thomas (2x), junior Promise Amukamara (1x), redshirt sophomore Katie Hempen (1x) and freshman Sophie Brunner (1x) – have scored in double figures this season.
The Sun Devil women's basketball program has consistently been among the Pac-12/Pac-10's best for the last several years both on the court and in the classroom...
• Since the 2000-01 season ASU is one of only two schools in the Pac-12 to have won both a regular season conference title and the conference tournament title.
• ASU has finished third or higher in the Pac-12 nine times since 2001.
• Since 2005-06, ASU has led the Pac-12 in the number of conference first-team all-academic awards and the combined number of first- and second-team all-academic awards.
This season the Sun Devil women's basketball team will look to return to the upper echelon of the Pac-12 Conference, which sent four teams to the NCAA Tournament last season – Cal, Colorado, Stanford and UCLA. The Pac-12 has also had two different schools represent the conference in the Final Four the last two seasons – Cal in 2013 and Stanford in 2012.
To prepare for play in the conference, which figures to be as competitive as ever in 2013-14, the Sun Devils will play a challenging, 12-game non-conference schedule that includes nine games against teams that advanced to the postseason in 2013.
"This is traditionally what we do," explained Sun Devil head coach Charli Turner Thorne. "Playing a challenging non-conference schedule helps our team grow and prepare for the tough competition it will face in the Pac-12."
Included in the non-conference portion of ASU's 2013-14 schedule will be games against 2013 NCAA Tournament participants Texas Tech (Nov. 17 in Lubbock, Texas), North Carolina (Thanksgiving weekend tournament in Cancun, Mexico), Miami (Dec. 21 in Tempe) and Syracuse (Dec. 30 in Tempe).
ASU will open its 2013-14 campaign on Nov. 9 against Hawaii (2013 WNIT participant) before going on the road to take on a San Diego team that returns four starters from last year's team that advanced to the second round of the WNIT.
ASU will face Illinois for the second time in three seasons, one of three games the Sun Devils will play in Cancun (Arkansas State, UNC). Illinois proved its program is on the rise after advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2013 WNIT.
After playing North Carolina once prior to 2005, the Sun Devils will be playing the Tar Heels for the fourth time in eight years. This will be the second time the two teams have played each other in Cancun. The Tar Heels won 29 games last season, which earned them a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The field for the annual ASU Classic (Dec. 7-8), includes three 2013 WNIT participants – Harvard, Long Beach State and Sacred Heart.
On Dec. 21 the Sun Devils will face Miami for only the second time in school history (ASU won the only other meeting, 78-74 in 1988). The Hurricanes are coming off their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.
ASU closes out its non-conference schedule on Dec. 30 when it hosts Syracuse, which won 24 games last season on its way to a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
"As we started to evaluate the stars of our distinguished past, it quickly became apparent that no player was more celebrated or had more of an impact – both in her community and within our own Sun Devil community – than Ryneldi Becenti," said Turner Thorne. "While already in our Hall of Fame for her achievements as a student-athlete, we felt a program-specific tribute like this was fitting for a special individual whose influence went beyond the basketball court.
"The incredible work ethic and desire that led her to our program galvanized the Native American community. Her outstanding contributions as a Sun Devil enhanced her legendary status and remain an inspiration for many. I am so proud to be announcing that we will be hanging Ryneldi Becenti's No. 21 jersey from the rafters of Wells Fargo Arena on Dec. 21. We hope all our fans and basketball enthusiasts alike will mark the date in their calendars to come out and help us pay tribute to this Sun Devil icon."
Becenti was a two-time honorable mention All-America honoree while also becoming one of only three Sun Devils (at the time) to earn All-Pac-10 first-team honors twice in a career.
Following two successful seasons at Scottsdale Community College, Becenti joined ASU where her outstanding all-around play was pivotal in helping the Sun Devils earn a NCAA Tournament berth in 1992, the program's first tournament invite since 1983.
By the conclusion of her two-year Sun Devil career, Becenti would accumulate 396 career assists, which at the time represented the second-highest career total in program history. Her career average of 7.1 assists per game remains a Pac-12 record to this day, while her 17-assist outing vs. Marquette in 1992 still sits atop the team's list for most assists in a single game. With 15 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in a Jan. 25, 1992, game against Oregon State, Becenti became the first player in school history to record a triple-double and was the lone player in the NCAA – men or women – to record the feat that season.
Becenti's enormous popularity in the community and the Navajo Nation received national acclaim in March 1993, when she was featured in a Sports Illustrated article written by award-winning journalist Gary Smith.
As a member the 1993 USA team at the World University Games, Becenti became the first Native American female to earn a medal at the event. She would also go on to earn the distinction of becoming the first Native American to play in the WNBA as a member of the hometown Phoenix Mercury.
In 1996, she became the first woman inducted into the American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame adding to her list of enshrinements, which includes the Scottsdale Community College Hall of Fame, Arizona State University Hall of Fame and the Arizona High School Sports Hall of Fame.
A native of Fort Defiance, Ariz., Becenti earned high school All-America honors playing for Window Rock High School. Her stellar play continued at Scottsdale Community College where she earned junior college All-American recognition.
