Blood:Water is an equipping agency that partners with African grassroots organizations to address the HIV/AIDS and water crises. They do this by identifying Africa's hardworking heroes and coming alongside their vision for change. Through technical, financial and organizational support, Blood:Water expands the reach and effectiveness of African civil society organizations and the communities they serve.
Since their launch in 2004, Blood:Water has raised over $22 million through the creative efforts of tens of thousands of individuals seeking to make a difference. Due to their efforts, 819,000 people now have clean water. More than 49,000 patients have been served in HIV-prevalent areas. While access to clean water has increased dramatically in the last decade and some places are seeing a reduction in new HIV infections, millions still need safe water and health and support services for HIV.
Blood:Water coordinators know that the solution to providing clean water and ending the AIDS epidemic cannot be conquered in quick, easy, one-time projects. They offer communities multiple approaches to saving lives. Sometimes the best water source is simply beneath a community's feet. Wells pump safe, clean water for all to use. Biosand filters can also be used as a simple device made of cement and sand that filters out 98% of all water-borne diseases and can be kept in the home. Community groups such as HIV support groups, school health clubs, water committees and counseling groups can also be advocates for change.
So what are individuals dared to do to help Blood:Water? Make your move. Individual contributions are the fuel that allows them to equip African organizations and their communities in fighting the HIV/AIDS and water crises. The organization asks: "Can you grow a killer mustache? Are you the artistic, creative type? Or, do you just love pranking people? Whatever your talents, skills and moves, we want to showcase what you've got and make lasting change in the lives of our friends in Africa."
Your challenge is issued. Come up with a fundraising idea and a set goal. Get the word out, then start making a difference for Blood:Water. You won't be alone. Christian singer Brandon Heath and new wife, Siebe, decided to help the cause as they celebrated their Nashville wedding. As a gift to their friends and family, the new couple donated a well in the names of their wedding guests via Blood:Water Mission.

Developer working on plan for old Ormond hospital site
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 8:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 9:02 p.m.
ORMOND BEACH — It may be some time before construction takes place at the old Ormond Memorial hospital site, but people will be happy with the finished product, a local developer said.
"We want to do something the city would be proud of," said Buddy LaCour, who led a group of investors to purchase 27.6 acres of land in the heart of Ormond Beach.
LaCour ended a six-year search by Florida Hospital to find a buyer for more than 25 acres of land off of Sterthaus Drive. Crews imploded the 1960s-era complex to generate interest in the property.
LaCour, who purchased the land for $2 million, said he is in negotiations with several "users" on how to cooperatively develop the property. The land would likely be suitable for a mixed-use project and the hope would be to draw businesses back to the surrounding properties, he added.
"It's a great site," he said. "But there's a lot of synergy that left there."
Before any ground is broken, LaCour and his group will have to submit plans to rezone the property, a process that could take at least 120 days.

Rachel Roberts Movies and Career Information
Sep 20, 1927
Rachel Roberts (20 September 1927 – 26 November 1980) was a Welsh actress noted for her fervour and passion; Roberts is best remembered for her forthright screen performances in two key films of the 1960s, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and This Sporting Life, in both of which she played the older mistress of the central male character. After a Baptist upbringing (against which she rebelled), followed by the University of Wales and RADA, she began working with a repertory company in Swansea in 1950. She made her film debut in the Welsh-set comedy Valley of Song (1953; directed by Gilbert Gunn). Her portrayal of Brenda in Karel Reisz's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960) won her a BAFTA. Lindsay Anderson cast her as the suffering Mrs Hammond in This Sporting Life (1963, another BAFTA and an Oscar nomination). Both films were significant examples of the British New Wave of film making. In theatre, she performed at the Royal Court and was the life-enhancing tart Maggie May in Lionel Bart's musical (1964). In films she continued to play women with lusty appetites as in Lindsay Anderson's O Lucky Man! (1973), although the haunting Australian-made Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975,

Alexis Morgan continues her red-hot paranormal series with a mysterious warrior and his forbidden love for a woman who's allegiance lies with his sworn enemy. . . .
Once a warrior for the Others, Barak q'Young is caught between two worlds -- exiled from his homeland, and a pariah among his enemies, the Paladins. While hunting a betrayer who's selling the precious blue gems that light the Others' world, Barak must aid geologist Lacey Sebastian in her research for the Paladins. Barak is instantly drawn to the fiery, beautiful woman, but Lacey initially despises the enemy intruder. Soon she sees beyond his violent past, though, finding the dark warrior intriguing -- and extremely sexy.
Though neither can resist the passion that blazes between them, Barak is torn between loyalties, hiding a secret gift that could prove useful to Lacey's research, at the sacrifice of his own people. But when Lacey is kidnapped and held hostage, Barak realizes he will do anything to save her . . . even risk his own life.

So, If you open a new, blank document and look at the Resource Browser, there will be nothing there. Import a Spotlight Lighting Device, and look in the Resource Browser and no there are a number of items.
The symbol for the body helps keep the document smaller, instead of repeating geometry, you're referencing geometry already in the document. The things which make a Source 4 575w 19° different from a Source 4 750w 36° are the Record Formats which are associated with the Spotlight Lighting Devices.
These are the things that make anything a Spotlight Lighting Device. If you insert an instance of a Spotlight Lighting Device Symbol, select it and go to the OIP>Data Tab you'll see that Vectorworks has assigned a unique number identifying the unit and that the data records are associated with the symbol instance.
But you can't do anything with the record data. In fact, you can see it.
If you right-click on the symbol in the Resource Browser and select 'Edit 3D' you'll see there is associated Light Info data, but mostly blank. Go Back to Edit the 2D component of the symbol...
Here you can see specific information, AND CHANGE that information about that light. So, if you have a symbol for a 575w unit and you're going to change the lamps to 750's, you can modify your symbol, or dupe the symbol and create a symbol specifically for the 750w units.

The Cheney City Council mourned longtime council member Mike McKeehan at its Tuesday meeting.
McKeehan, a 14-year council member, died suddenly July 19. Mayor Tom Trulove spoke about McKeehan's impact on Cheney, and spoke to his wife Judy, who was in the audience.
"Your family together has made this community much better than it was before you were a family together," he said. "It's a loss that's hard to accept but there's nobody who lived a better life or could claim to accomplish more in it than Mike McKeehan."
City administrator Arlene Fisher thanke...

This is the last of a five-part blog series, Aligning Profit and Environmental Sustainability. Each installment has explored key ingredients to help businesses overcome barriers that prevent them from integrating environmental sustainability into their everyday operations. Read the entire series.
This post also appears on Greenbiz.com.
Over the past month, we've discussed some of the key barriers that prevent companies from truly integrating sustainability considerations into their long-term strategies. Countless companies across the world struggle with these obstacles, such as: capital budgeting processes that fail to account for sustainability initiatives' benefits; financial teams whose goals don't align with those of the sustainability teams; and uncertainty about how to implement metrics that properly account for external environmental costs.
A handful of companies, however, are starting to identify effective ways to break these barriers down. Johnson & Johnson now allocates $40 million a year to a special fund that directs capital to greenhouse gas reduction projects, helping to lighten its environmental footprint while proving these projects generate good returns. AkzoNobel and Alcoa have elevated the role of the Chief Sustainability Officer in capital budgeting decisions to ensure the company is spending money to achieve financial and environmental results. And Natura is accounting for the environmental impacts of its suppliers and including those costs in its supplier selection process.

So I was reading Moser and Tardos' paper on their algorithmic proof for the Lovász Local Lemma and came across the following:
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a finite collection of mutually independent random variables in a fixed probability space $\Omega$. We will consider events $A$ that are determined by the values of some subset $S \subseteq \mathcal{P}$ of these variables.
(This excerpt was taken from the second paragraph on page 2 of the above mentioned paper.)
What does it mean to say that an event is determined by (the values of) certain random variables? I think it would make sense, for instance, to say that the event $A$ = [$X \neq Y$] is determined by the r.v.s $X$ and $Y$, but I don't know how one would formally write the definition in general.

The Loch Ness Monster has succumbed to global warming, according to long-time Nessie hunter, Robert Rines. The 85-year old American will abandon his search for the monster after four decades of fruitless hunting. He plans one last trip to Loch Ness in search of Nessie's remains.
Despite having hundreds of sonar contacts over the years, the trail has since gone cold and Rines believes that Nessie may be dead, a victim of global warming. – the Daily Record
Rines is not just some crazy old dinosaur-hunter and he's no slouch either. His list of achievements started as a child when he played a violin duet with Albert Einstein at summer camp. He went on to invent technology that lead to the kind of high-resolution image-scanning radar equipment that was used in the Gulf War, as well as ultrasound scanning devices used to search for the Titanic and the Bismarck. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1994 and received the 2004 Boston Patent Law Association's "Lifetime Achievement Award" for his contributions in the field of Intellectual Property. Rines has been at the forefront of Nessie hunting, a sport that began in the 1930s. He was hooked in the early 1970s, after seeing a hump, 25 feet long, glide through the waters. Since then he has made many trips to the Scottish loch, buying his own lakeside cabin and setting up a Nessie shrine room in his Boston home, dedicated to his favorite prehistoric beast. His high-tech scanning equipment captured a number of images in Loch Ness, including the famous "flipper" photograph, which some people suggest is a hoax. He plans a final visit to check out around 100 contacts on the loch's floor, to see if any of them are Nessie's remains. For this Nessie hunter, the monster may be gone, but not forgotten.
As he prepared for his last hunt, Robert said: "What am I to do - forget what I saw? There are a lot of eyewitness accounts. Are they all liars? All drunks?" – the Daily Record

The Executive Pay All-Stars, Esqs.
In a page-one story today, the WSJ profiles the five unlikely folks that have transformed executive-pay activism into a powerful mainstream force. The efforts, say the Journal, have helped push corporate boards to intensify scrutiny of multimillion-dollar packages for top brass. Two of the five have legal cred:
The Networker: Jesse Brill (pictured, far left), a Berkeley, Calif., lawyer who has been publishing corporate-law newsletters since the 1970s, popularized the idea of keeping "tally sheets" on executives' compensation. Some corporate boards have embraced the idea, and he's reportedly influenced the drafting of the SEC's new rules on executive-pay disclosure. Allen Beller, formerly of the SEC and now at Cleary Gottlieb, says Brill was "one of the people who was influential in our thinking" about compensation.
Says the 64-year-old Brill: "I don't view myself as being one of the reformers. I want to fix the system from within."
The Professor: "Harvard Law School Professor Lucian Bebchuk (pictured, near left) is one of the intellectual engines of the pay-restraint movement, producing studies arguing that weak boards are paying executives without regard to company performance," writes the WSJ. Bebchuk, 51, actively promotes the revision of corporate bylaws to curb executive pay, submitting amendment proposals to public companies. Earlier this year, Home Depot adopted one of his proposals.
He's not without his critics. Theodore Mirvis, a corporate defense lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz calls Bebchuk "the Elvis Presley of executive compensation." And bylaw amendments, Mirvis says, "create legal gobbledygook without understanding the underlying issue."

Try out these 4 effective exercises for love handles and belly fat the next time you're training. Don't become like other gym-goers who I see wasting their time doing weighted side bends. They think it's slimming their sides and melting their muffin top. You know what it's really doing? Adding thickness to their waistlines and putting stress on their spine. Effective? I think NOT.
With these 4 killer exercises alone, there are many different variations, combination and modifications so anyone can do them and never get bored.Keep in mind, speed is not the game here. I believe in "quality not quantity".That's why I gave you a recommended time frame rather than just a number of set repetitions.
I'd rather you focus on your form and not on a number of reps to speed through. Everyone will be different, depending how strong their core (abs, lower back, and glutes) is. Go at your own pace and gradually work your way up to performing more as you get stronger.
Plank Knee-to-Elbow Twist
- Begin in a plank position with feet hip-width apart and hands directly beneath your shoulders.
- Make sure you're in a straight line and your butt is not up in the air nor sagging your back. Keep the core tight!
- Lift your right foot about 6 inches off the ground, then bend your right knee and bring it toward your left elbow. Exhale as you pull in.
- Inhale as you step back out to a plank. That's 1 rep. Repeat by bringing the left knee to your right elbow. Each knee is 1 rep.
- There will be a slight twisting as you bring your knee to your opposite arm. Keep your butt down and maintain proper form.
- Keep alternating each side for either 30 seconds to 1 minute or anywhere from 8-20 reps each side, depending on activity level.
Russian Twist (V-sit Twist)
- Sit on the floor with your knees bent and lean back slightly, forming a "v-shape" from your torso to bent knees, keeping the abs tight.
- It is really important to keep your back straight, don't let it round.
- Place your arms straight out in front of you with your hands one on top of the other.
- With abs engaged, twist slowly to the left as you exhale. Inhale through the center and rotate by twisting to the right. This completes 1 rep.
- Focus on rotating the entire upper body, not just the arms swinging side to side.
- Perform for either 30 seconds to 1 minute or do 8-20 reps, depending on activity level.
- Variations: To advance, hold a dumbbell, medicine ball or kettle bell in your hands to add more resistance. You can also lift your feet 3-4 inches off the floor and balance as you perform. If you have a low back injury or issue, this exercise is not recommended for you.
Side Plank With Twist
- Start by laying on your right side. Place your elbow directly below your shoulder.
- Stack your feet one on top of the other and your weight on your right elbow with your fingers reaching away from your body. For more stability, you can put your top leg slightly in front of the other. From shoulders to hips to feet you should now be in a straight line.
- Engaged your abs and inhale to start.
- Exhale as you lift your pelvis from the floor and lift the left arm straight up toward ceiling.
- Rotate your left ribcage toward the floor as you reach the left arm between the mat and your body. Return to side plank and repeat.
- Depending on activity level, try to perform 6-12 reps, then switch sides and repeat.
- Variations: To advance, rather than on the elbow try it on your hand. To modify, do not perform the twist, just hold the side plank on elbows; you'll still work your obliques.
Bicycle Crunch
- Lie on the floor and lift your knees to about a 45-degree angle with lower back pressed to the ground. Place your hands lightly behind your head, elbows pointed outward.
- Lift your shoulder blades off the ground but do not pull on the neck.
- Inhale as you extend the left leg straight out at a 45-degree angle while turning your upper body to the right, bringing the left elbow towards the right knee.
- Exhale and switch legs, now doing the same motion on the other side to complete 1 rep.
- Continue alternating opposite elbow to knee as you twist back and forth.
- Perform anywhere from 15 seconds to 1 minute or do 8-20 reps, depending on activity level.
- Tip: Your motions should be smooth, slow and controlled. Focus on really extending the leg out straight and that you're moving your rib cage and not just your elbows.
The honest truth about getting rid of your love handles…
There isn't a special exercise alone that will get rid of your love handles. The truth is:
- There is no such thing as a "love handle" exercise because you can't tone and firm your FAT.
- Instead, the name of this article should have been called "Exercises for obliques ".
- Start to incorporate a proper diet. Cut out things such as fried foods, sugar, and alcohol which are all belly bulging foods.
- Remember, you can't spot reduce fat. You'll need to lose weight from the total body (including belly and love handle fat).
By doing the love handle exercises I've given you, it will help your waistline appear slimmer as you firm up your obliques. However, if you're constantly slipping in the diet category, you won't lose the weight needed to truly get the slim waistline you want. Bottom line is you need to incorporate a healthy diet, along with strength training and interval cardio workouts and you'll be fast on your way to being rid of your love handles.

It is easy to laugh at Joe Kinnear, the king of the malapropism, the master of mispronunciation.
It was hard not to smile when he talked about "Yohan Kebab" and "Hatem Ben Afri" in his talkSPORT interview on Monday evening.
Then there was the way he turned the surname of Newcastle's managing director, Derek Llambias, into something that sounded like a tributary of the River Nile.
But the interview was always more awkward than funny.
Most of all, Kinnear's radio performance made me feel profoundly uneasy.
A couple of weeks ago, I went to the Oxford Union to watch a debate about the media.
It featured particularly good speeches from the BBC's home editor Mark Easton and the Sunday Times' political editor Isabel Oakeshott.
One of those ranged against them was the comedian and game show host Michael Barrymore.
Barrymore's behaviour was faintly erratic.
He mumbled and murmured while others were speaking. Now and then, he gurned theatrically. He seemed unwell.
And that is not meant as a euphemism.
It felt uncomfortable watching him.
It felt voyeuristic.
I thought of that night when I listened to Kinnear's tour de force of confused, aggressive, resentful braggadocio.
It made me feel uneasy, not just because of what his appointment as director of football means for Newcastle United and their supporters.
Uneasy because the laughter carried echoes of the way some used to make fun of the great Sir Bobby Robson's difficulty with names.
Uneasy because Kinnear is not a cardboard cut-out. He is a 66-year-old man whose only son died of cancer two years ago.
Uneasy because it has seemed for a while now that, as he heads towards old age, he is desperately trying to recapture a respect he once had.
In the process, sadly, he has merely succeeded in making himself a figure of fun.
And uneasy, finally, because beneath all the bluster – actually, because of all the bluster – Kinnear is a transparently vulnerable man.
Why else would he need to boast about phoning Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger?
Why else would he reopen old wounds with reporters who cover Newcastle fairly and honestly and who he roundly abused the last time he held a position of influence at St James' Park?
Why else would he trample over the sensibilities of Newcastle manager Alan Pardew by revealing he was now the man who called the shots?
But the thing that is hardest of all to fathom about his appointment is how it can be reconciled with his health.
There is already an overwhelming sense that he should not be being subjected to these kinds of pressures.
This is a man who had a heart attack before a match against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough 14 years ago when he was Wimbledon manager.
He was effectively forced to step down as Newcastle manager in February 2009 because of fresh heart issues.
Now Kinnear says he is fighting fit, but it was perfectly clear even in the 15 minutes he was on air that he still seethes with stress and anger.
He sounded as if he was only ever a beat away from losing his temper, as he has famously done before.
His words hummed and twanged with the quiver of barely suppressed rage.
So the real question here is why put Kinnear back in a situation where he is going to be exposed to the spotlight?
Newcastle's owner Mike Ashley is not a stupid man. Far from it.
He has made some mistakes but he has also done much to improve things at the club.
He is clearly deeply unhappy with the way Pardew managed the club last season when Newcastle flirted with relegation.
And the appointment of Kinnear, coupled with Tuesday's unambiguous statement that Pardew now reports to him, is a humiliating blow to the manager's status.
But why use Kinnear to fulfil that purpose? Because Ashley trusts him, perhaps. Because he likes him. Because he rates him and admires him.
And maybe because he wants to give a friend an even break.
Maybe because he wants to give a guy who is down on his luck a last shot at the big time.
If that is the case, good luck to him.
But it's a hell of a risk.
A risk for the club, the owner, the manager and for a man who wants to roll back the years so much that it hurts just watching him.

Hillary Clinton has not decided whether she will run for President in 2016, but that has not kept the negative campaign against her from beginning already. Today former Bush Administration campaign strategist Karl Rove took to the airwaves on Fox News to question whether Clinton was too old to run for president. Rove also questioned Clinton's overall health, referencing a "traumatic brain injury" that Clinton suffered when she served as the Secretary of State in the Obama administration. A video of Rove's remarks can be seen above.
Rove began the interview on Fox News by backtracking a bit and saying he never said the Clinton had "brain damage." However, Rove then went on to directly question whether Clinton was too old for the presidency:
"And my point was that everybody says she's going to run and she probably is, but I would bet it's a more complicated calculation than we might think because, look, she'll be 69 by the time of the 2016 election. She will be 77 if she serves two terms and this ends up being an issue. I would remind you, here's the headline from US News & World Report: 'McCain's Age And Past Health Problems Could Be An Issue In The Presidential Race.' This happens every presidential race."
A spokesperson for Clinton responded sarcastically, "Please assure Dr. Rove she's 100 percent."
Rove is correct when he states that the health and age of presidential candidates has been an issue in past elections. The McCain campaign refused to release full medical records during much of the 2008 campaign. However, Rove neglects to mention another candidate's whose age and health came into question. President Reagan was 69 years old when he took office, and was 77 when he finished his last term. These are the exact ages Rove refers to when he questions Clinton, but there is no evidence of Rove expressing the same concern over Reagan. Rove himself is 63 years old, and Mitt Romney, who Rove prominently supported, would have been 66 years old when he assumed office.

Take Care
Factsheet - Heating up
Working in hot temperatures
Working in the hot summer months can be uncomfortable. Hot temperatures can contribute to reduced efficiency in job performance, more mistakes being made, the accelerated onset of fatigue, and a higher potential for serious harm.
Working in hot temperatures will affect different people in different ways – problems may include:
- increased irritation
- anger
- aggression
- mood changes
- increased heart activity
Improving comfort during hot weather
In many work environments it may not be possible to control uncomfortable temperatures, especially for outdoor work. But there are some useful tips for managing the negative effects of hot temperatures during your working day.
- If you can pick the time of day to carry out physically exerting tasks, do them either early in the morning before it gets too hot, or in the evening.
- If working outdoors, wear a sunhat and sun-block.
- Drink plenty of water; avoid tea, coffee and soft drinks with high sugar content.
- Take shorter, more frequent rest breaks.
Employers have to provide and maintain a safe working environment and should make sure employees have adequate protection while working in hot temperatures.
- Ensure employees are suitably clothed for hot conditions. If they wear a uniform, make sure it is appropriate.
- In factories and offices, increase air speed and movement using ventilation systems, windows or individual fans.
- Place indoor machinery that produces heat in a well ventilated or isolated area.
- If work is indoors, provide blinds, curtains or reflective coatings on windows to reduce direct sunlight.
- People need time to acclimatise. For the first 5 to 7 days of intense heat, lighter duties with longer rest periods should be assigned.
- Healthy eating should be promoted and fatty foods should be avoided.

Providing for Quail Broods
How To Insure That Your Property Provides The Cover Quail Need For Raising Their Young.
Try to picture Virginia in 1925, the "roaring twenties." Most urban areas were modernizing but rural areas remained primitive by 1999 standards.
Subsistence farming, or farming for survival, was common. Subsistence farms were very different from the "clean" farms we see today. In those days fields were smaller, many brushy fencerows existed and most fields were "idled" or "fallowed" for several years between plantings. Ragweed, pokeberry and other annual weeds grew in these fields, making them ideal areas for the rearing of bobwhite quail chicks. Some fields were planted to annual lespedeza to cut for hay. The lespedeza fields provided excellent places for quail to forage in winter. Bobwhite quail were by-products of primitive farming.
The farming modernization necessary to feed a burgeoning human population also eliminated most of the idle land and lespedeza hayfields so beneficial to quail. In Virginia, fallow land acreage declined 64% from 1925 to 1987. Virginia's bobwhite population declined 71% during the past thirty years. Additionally, lespedeza hay, which covered nearly 600,000 acres in 1945, is nearly non-existent today. Though the bobwhite is still a by-product of agriculture in many respects, current agricultural systems produce far fewer quail than those systems common 70 years ago. Active management is now required to produce quail populations on most farms.
Like all wildlife species, bobwhite quail have habitat requirements. They need habitat for brood-rearing, nesting, loafing, roosting, and protection from predators and inclement weather. A healthy quail population depends on having these habitat types in close proximity. Of these types, perhaps the most important and least available is brood-rearing habitat.
Many farms have adequate winter cover, particularly those properties with recently cutover timberland. These cutovers also provide nesting and escape cover. However, quail are particularly fussy about their brood-rearing habitat. Regardless of the availability of winter habitat, great brood-rearing habitat is required to produce high fall quail populations.
Quail chicks are tiny, weighing less than 1/4 ounce at hatching. In spite of their small size, they can move and feed themselves only hours after leaving the shell. Given the proper habitat, they are very effective insect predators. Insects comprise 95% of a quail chick's diet during its first few weeks and are critical to their growth and survival.
In order to obtain the insects they need for growth and survival, quail chicks must have good foraging cover. They need some overhead cover to shield them from summer's heat and predators, but, at chick level, the ground must be fairly open.
Remember those jungle adventure movies? The ones showing the daring bands of guerilla soldiers hacking their way through seemingly impenetrable jungle. Or, picture yourself like the children in the movie Jurassic Park, constantly running for cover, trying to grab a minute's sleep, or a bite to eat on the run. If you can put yourself in these positions, you'll get a good feel for a day in the life of a quail chick. A crop field in its second year idle-full of ragweed, partridge pea, annual weeds and bare ground-would be heaven for a quail chick, compared to the "jungle" they face in many coverts, with thick, matted ground cover and little overhead cover to shield them from a hawk! Bare ground, insects and overhead cover-produce it and they will come!
How Do I Produce Brood-Rearing Cover?
There are many techniques for producing brood-rearing cover, but the easiest is to simply fallow, or idle a piece of cropland. You probably have several unproductive field edges, or a few small fields where cropping is not profitable. These areas should be left idle. To maintain their value as brood-rearing cover, they should be fall-disced every other year. Discing in late winter or early spring is also effective, but it is often too wet to disc during this period. Establish a rotation so that all your brood-rearing areas are not disced during the same year. If erosion is a concern, sow the areas to winter wheat at 1/2 to 3/4 the normal rate. Weedy winter wheat stands make excellent quail chick cover.
If you are not comfortable simply letting weeds grow, disc the areas, then sow them with 5 lbs of kobe lespedeza, 5 lbs of Korean lespedeza and 2-4 lbs of partridge pea per acre in February, March or early April. This seeding rate may seem low to you; but remember, the best quail chick habitat should not be too thick. By planting at the rates described above, the result will be a good mix of planted vegetation and annual weeds-perfect chick habitat. These areas will provide good winter forage, too.
What If I Don't Have Any Cropland?
All is not lost in the absence of cropland. Though more work may be required, portions of pastures, hay fields and cutover areas can be converted to brood-rearing habitat.
On pastures and hay fields the first step is usually the eradication of fescue. Fescue's thick, matted growth form makes it unsuitable for quail broods. It also has little nutritional value and makes poor nesting and escape cover. For information on means of fescue eradication, contact one of the offices listed in this brochure, or call your county agricultural extension office.
Once the fescue is killed, begin a rotational discing or burning program. Both these techniques create bare ground and promote the annual weed growth vital to quail. Rotation is the key. One-third to one-half the available acreage should be disced or burned each year. To conserve soil, use contour discing. Use controlled burning on steep land.
Discing is best accomplished in fall, but discing in late winter or early spring will suffice if the weather allows. Conduct burning in late winter or early spring. Again, if you do not want to simply let weeds grow, plant the areas to the lespedeza and partridge pea mixture described earlier.
In cutovers, lime and fertilize logging decks, road edges and openings; then seed them with the lespedeza and partridge pea mixture. Maintain these areas by discing them every two to three years.
Thinning a pine stand and following the thinning with an understory burn can produce some fine brood-rearing and nesting cover. Have the stand thinned heavier than normal, down to 150 trees per acre on a first thinning. A year or two after the thinning, conduct an understory burn. The resulting herbaceous plant growth provides insect-rich foraging areas for turkey poults, quail chicks and songbirds in summer and produces seeds for winter food. The burning may also help control hardwood competition.

Mariah Carey got us feeling emotions starting in 1988, and it sure looks like her diva reign is far from finished. The lusciously locked singer—who turned 43 in March—just won the title of "Best Pop Star Who's Still Got It" in our latest tournament, taking down the likes of Alanis Morissette, J Lo, Madonna, and Eminem.

Dawkins and the wishy-washy god
Snippets from Richard Dawkins' recent interview with the Guardian's Alok Jha:
When you talk to people like bishops...they look to me as though they don't really believe in a supernatural being... The sort of god that they believe in seems to be so wishy-washy, so sort of undefinable, so hard to get your hands on, sort of slips out of your face like a slippery bar of soap.
You do your science separately, but when it comes to faith, you suddenly switch off all your questioning faculties.
I think they [the bishops] are wrong...but I don't think they are insane.
If you disagree with something, then what you do is you come back and argue. You don't say "Oh, I feel insulted"; you argue...Religion has carved out for itself a special protected niche where instead of arguing it says "I am insulted or I am offended". I think that offense is what people take when they can't take an argument. It's a kind of last resort.
My interest in religion is actually a scientific interest...The fundamental question of religion, which is does god exist?, is a scientific question.
In America science is under attack from the right, which pretty much means the religious right.

Car enthusiasts throughout the state of Washington are always looking to make tweaks, upgrades, and improvements to their cars. One of the most popular ways that Washingtonians love to boost their cars' performance and give it some additional aesthetic appeal is by having a custom exhaust system installed.
When it comes to base or standard model cars and trucks, most manufacturers build their vehicles with the least expensive components available. This is especially true when it comes to exhaust systems. That is not to say that these cars or the components in question are of poor quality. It simply means that the manufacturer leaves lots of room for the consumer to upgrade certain elements of their car if they choose to do so, and an upgraded exhaust system is one of the most common ways to accomplish this.
Increased Efficiency
People who are just beginning to learn about aftermarket upgrades may wonder what benefits come with a performance or custom exhaust system. One of the most basic advantages of a custom exhaust is that the exhaust gases are given a more efficient escape path and are able to flow faster. In other words, the engine is allowed to "breathe easier" as fuel and air that have been used by the engine are sent out of the combustion chambers much more quickly. This increase in speed and efficiency allows greater quantities of fuel and air to be burned which in turns generates increased engine power.
Better Look, Better Sound
One of the benefits of a custom exhaust is that it will put out a much more aggressive and noticeable sound. Most performance exhaust systems generate a very distinctive "growl" that is much different from that of the stock systems, and while they may be only slightly louder and more aggressive sounding when the vehicle is idle, the difference is very noticeable when they start to accelerate. In terms of the materials used, most stock systems are constructed with low-grade steel, which is fine, but this particular material tends to experience significant deterioration over the course of the life of the vehicle. Most custom exhaust systems, on the other hand, are made from either stainless or aluminized steel, which provides longer life and better overall quality than the factory systems. There are also manufacturers that offer performance systems which provide the look of a stock or factory system but which offer all of the performance benefits of a custom one. "A custom exhaust can certainly make a substantial difference to a car's performance, but it can also give it a look that is equally as exciting," says Mike Carson of Carson Cars Auto Repair. "Custom exhaust will help to increase airflow resulting in additional horsepower." Carson Cars Auto Service provides custom exhaust installation services in Everett, WA.
Pipe Size Matters
One final thing to keep in mind when researching systems is the diameter of the exhaust pipes. Pipes that are a little larger can be a benefit to most vehicles and also enhance their looks, particularly if they are highly polished or have a chrome finish. However, if the pipes are too large it can actually have a detrimental effect on performance. But for drivers who may be looking to implement a supercharger or a turbocharger, larger pipes are not only advantageous but also necessary. Regardless of what you may be looking for in a custom exhaust in Everett, adding one to your vehicle is sure to provide better performance and enhance its overall appearance.

The NCAA News caught up with Massachusetts head women's swimming coach Bob Newcomb last week, just before he and fellow UMass staffer Eric Heller embarked on a 4,000-mile, 9-week journey to ride their bicycles from coast-to-coast in support of cancer research. Here's an excerpt from the piece that can be found on the NCAA web site or by clicking the link below.
Making waves is part of Bob Newcomb's job. But the head women's swimming coach at the University of Massachusetts is making one of his biggest splashes outside of the pool. Beginning June 8, Newcomb will bike almost 4,000 miles across the United States from coast to coast along with his friend Eric Heller to raise funds for cancer research.
UMass swim coach Bob Newcomb is logging 4,000 miles on two wheels this summer for a good cause. "Cancer affects almost everyone in some way, whether it's themselves, family, or someone else they know," Newcomb said.
The pair's intended route begins in Seaside, Ore. and ends August 4 in Provincetown, Mass. The last leg will see them join the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), an annual 200-mile bike ride that raises money for research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. With the first ride occurring in 1984, the event has raised more than $375 million, with $37 million raised in 2012 alone.

-Tony Blauer, President and CEO of B.T.C.M.S.
When my firm does an evaluation of a client's needs, we'll start off first by discussing the Economics of Violence. It's imperative that our clients understand and appreciate our philosophy prior to beginning the training.
Most guess, that I'm referring to the millions of dollars that random physical violence costs our nation every year or the millions lost to workplace violence. But actually my question is more base, more selfish, if you will.
When I mention the 'Economics of Violence", I'm talking specifically about YOU.
Simply put: no matter how much money you have, you cannot afford to be attacked. And no matter how profitable your firm is, it cannot afford for you to be attacked. No one can afford for 'you' to be attacked. Not you. Not your family. Not your colleagues. No one. Period.
So what exactly does self-defense have to do with business, shareholders and the bottom-line?
Capital. Intellectual capital. That's the 'bottom-line, isn't it? No company can thrive or survive without the commitment, energy, passion and creativity of it's key personnel. Well 'fear' can erode all that and violence can cut it short - in a flash. Whether you're an expatriate, an executive who travels extensively or you just work in a big city, applying the strategies of corporate 'risk management' to you and your team is just plain smart.
In fact, it's a pretty wise investment.

Has the series, "Ruth Harrison, Reference Librarian," been discontinued? I have not heard it in quite awhile, nor could I locate any scripts for it in the archives for 2008.
Linda S.
We haven't done Ruth in a long time, that's for sure, but "discontinued"? That suggests that there was a meeting around a table and a discussion of Ruth, the pros and cons, and a consensus reached, and a memo issued: "TO: All PHC personnel, in re: Ruth Harrison. This will inform you that as of Tuesday she has been discontinued." And we don't hold those meetings. So it may be that Ruth is on leave, or just snoozing. Or disappeared while shopping. Or went to Tucson to visit her friend Kathy. But not discontinued.

Ruth Harrison is probably in the stacks preparing a small celebration now that Obama has been elected. After all he has promised to reform education and that includes Libraries. Ruth is probably tickled pink and can't contain herself in all the excitement of her job being thought of as important again.
Amen on this thing about Ruth Harrison Reference Librarian. I am also a reference librarian and think she is a hoot- even if her thinking is a little backwards. She represents the thinking of yesterday AND we love her. Please bring back Ruth.
I would play Ruth if need be or write for her part or whatever.
Oh I am a librarian in Alpharetta, GA- near Atlanta.
Oh and please don't let the rude behavior of our not so civilized citizens scare you away from Atlanta. MOST of us are civilized and know how to behave in public.
Check show of October 11 ... was not that long ago ...
I would love to see Ruth Harrison meet some handsome stranger, perhaps an author she has arranged to lecture at the library in a "meet the author evening." Let her have a wild trip to exotic places with this man... THEN when she returns to the library again, she will no longer just dream about the men and women on the covers of the steamier books she shelves in the back of the library...
Ruth is one of my favorite characters on PHC.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't miss these skits. I think they hit on the obvious, overdone librarian stereotypes. Dusty and Lefty are much more fun.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Spokane Public Schools has named a new superintendent to lead its district of nearly 30,000 students.
The school board decided at a meeting Saturday that Shelley Redinger was the best person to lead Washington state's second-largest school district. She'll start in July 1, after Nancy Stowell retires.
Redinger and finalist Alex Apostle, a superintendent in Missoula, Mont., were in eastern Washington earlier this week to meet with Spokane community members and staff and to interview with the board.
Redinger is currently the superintendent of Spotsylvania School District in Fredericksburg, Va., which has 24,000 students.

Members of the Tennessee Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church on Monday elected James R. Allen and Rev. Harriet J. Bryan as their top lay and clergy delegates to the top denominational legislative assembly. Allen is the treasurer and statistician for the Tennessee Conference, a regional UMC body that is composed of the congregations of Middle Tennessee. Bryan is pastor of Salem UMC in Clarksville.
This year, regional bodies of the UMC such as the Tennessee Conference are electing their delegates to the denomination's top legislative body known as General Conference. There will be nearly 1,000 delegates to next year's General Conference to be held in Tampa, Florida.
Allen is a member of Blakemore UMC in Nashville and was formerly general counsel with the United Methodist General Council on Finance and Administration, the top legal and financial agency for the entire denomination. According to his official bio, Allen currently chairs the council on finance and administration for the denomination's entire Southeastern Jurisdiction. Bryan previously served as pastor in Erin, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C.
The Tennessee Conference will have eight delegates to General Conference, half will be clergy and half will be laity. The clergy members of the Tennessee Conference will elect the clergy delegates, while the lay members of the conference will elect the lay delegates. A majority of votes in their respective categories is needed for election. Allen was elected on the first lay ballot, while Bryan was elected on the third clergy ballot. Additional ballots will be taken until the entire delegation is full.
In other business, the Tennessee Conference presented the Denman Evangelism Award to Todd Cox (youth), Adam Jones (laity), and Rev. Randall Brown (clergy). The Social Holiness Award was presented to Beverly Dycus (laity) and Rev. Paul Gardner (clergy). The journal for this year will be dedicated to Pat Sailors, Pulaski District administrative assistant, and Rev. Fred Harper of Slater's Chapel UMC, Goodlettsville.
The conference granted permission to withdraw funds from the Camp Endowment and set a new lower limit of $1 million below which funds could not be withdrawn. Additional resolutions were approved with little debate.

I purchased this gown in December of 2012 for my March 2013 wedding. My mom and sister came to David's Bridal with me and while looking for gowns, we all came back with the same one- this beauty. When I tried it on, I knew. It was beautiful, flattering, and made me feel like a princess. I wore this dress to my March 10th wedding in Florida and again to a back-home reception in Michigan in late April. I included photos from my wedding, but if you'd like to see stock photos, here is the DB link: http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Halter-Tulle-Ball-Gown-with-Beaded-Lace-Detail-9OP2295. In the first photo, you can see how flattering the bodice is and how full the skirt is. I also have the hoop that I wore which I will send with the dress (why I am asking 400). The second photo I included to show the detail of the bead work on the bodice and the last photo is to show the back. It closes by zipper but looks like Victorian style buttons. The stain trim is gorgeous bustled, too. It looks like a waterfall, the DB pictures are better able to show this.
- Alterations: The dress is in wonderful condition- the only alterations I needed to have done was a bustle, which is super simple, it has 3 points. There is no damage to the dress.
- Preservation Method: The dress will need to be cleaned. I have had it stored in its bag since the wedding.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt:
- Location: Bloomfield Hills, MI
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Escrow.com
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

This is one of the finest pieces that Gonzalo has ever written. His passion regarding right and wrong, moral and immoral, and punishment fitting the crimes is dead on. Our country is warped and in rapid decline. There is only one way to save it. Prosecute the criminals. Make bankers accept the consequences of their actions. Let failures fail. Let the debt go bad. Enforce the rule of law equally. Throw Dick Cheney into Guantanomo before he reaches his final destination in hell.
Mr. Cheney's Victory Lap
Dick Cheney is taking a lap around all the talk shows, peddling his memoir while giving his reputation one final spit-shine before he dies and goes straight to hell.
Dick Cheney
Oh—so you actually doubt he'll go to hell? With the shit he's pulled? Cabrón, please . . .
It is remarkable that relatively few people seem outraged by Mr. Cheney. Here is the man who, as Vice-President of the United States, violated some of the most important rights, freedoms and liberties that America has defended for over two-hundred years. Not only did he commit what in other times would have been considered war crimes and crimes against humanity—he is proud of having done so!
He boasts about the torture he ordered, he defends the wars of aggression that he fomented, and he is silent about the sweetheart deals he gave his former employer, Halliburton, in the "reconstruction" of countries that he helped destroy.
In short, he violated every rule in the book—yet no one is throwing the book at him. There are no Congressional hearings into his violation of the Constitution. There are no prosecutors sharpening their chops, getting ready to indict him on charges of corruption.
Most of all, there is no public outrage at him.
Sure, some loony Lefties and some old-style hard-ass Conservatives such as myself bitch and moan about him—but no one is seriously arguing for his arrest, indictment and prosecution for the despicable things he did while in office. Or if they are advocating his arrest and prosecution—like me, and perhaps you—then they are on the extreme fringes of the political discourse—like me, and perhaps you: Marginal, and inconsequential.

C. D. Bonney - Old-Timer
When this investigator on Writers' Project District 2, asked C. D. Bonney, old timer of Roswell, for a story of some early-day experience, he at first looked amused and then a little reluctant.
I had always heard Mr. Bonney never like to talk of his achievements or adventures and it was very apparent he did not like to appear a hero, as many stories told by others prove him to be.
Mr. Bonney was one of the first settlers in the Pecos, Valley, coming to Roswell from Mississippi in 1881.
At the time of his coming to Roswell he was a young man, courteous, chivalrous, brave. He made many friends in the valley because of his bravery. He was not afraid to enter into any adventure or any business enterprise planned, during the progress and growth of the town.
In 1881, the year of his coming to Roswell, he purchased an interest in the store owned by Captain J. C. Lea, organizing the firm of Lea, Bonney and Company. This store was across the street from where the court house now stands. The goods for the store came over from Las Vegas by ox wagons. In 1884 Mr. Bonney sold his holdings in the store to Lea, Poe and Cosgrove, and bought a ranche thirty miles west of Roswell on the Hondo River. At one time he owed fifteen head of horses on this ranche.
This bunch of horses and all his ranching interests he sold to R. F. Barnett and engaged in the real estate business. He laid out a tract of 250 town lots, into "Riverside Heights." Establishing a power plant on Spring River, he furnished this tract with electric light and water. He then purchased 120 acres west of Roswell which he sold off in five and ten acre tracts.
During the time of the Indian uprisings and raids (in connection with all of his business enterprises) he served as Indian scout, under Captain Scott. He can tell of many thrilling experiences with the Indians, and interesting stories of the first stockmen - their feuds and fights over grazing lands and the waters of the springs and rivers.
"Well I guess I am an old timer all right," said Mr.Bonney, when told that we wanted a story - preferably of Indians,
"I located a mining claim the other day," he continued, "a gold mine in Cox canon, about four miles east and a little south of Cloudcroft in the Sacramento mountains. I named this mine "The Fifty-five," for that day (June 4th) was the anniversary of my arrival in Roswell fifty-five years ago.
Mr. Bonney rose and closed the door against the hot wind of the first real warm day of this summer of 1936. When he turned to resume his seat there was a little twinkle in his eye.
"So you want a story about Indians do you? Well I could tell quite a few. One of them is of the time we chased a band of Indians on just such a hot day as this - some hotter - it
"One night, about nine o'clock," he finally resumed, "we were sitting out in front of the hotel, it was the first hotel built in Roswell, and it was in front of where the court house is today. It was just a four room adobe house, owned by Captain J. C. Lea. Paying guests slept in the attic upstairs. We were enjoying the cool evening breeze, when an orderly came with a message from Captain Scott, to come down to their camp. Captain Scott had just arrived with a troop of cavalry. I had known Captain Scott before that time, in Fort Stanton," said Mr. Bonney. "I went down to his encampment and the first thing he said to me was - "Bonney have you seen any Indians around here lately?" I told him I had seen some, early that very morning, at Bitter Creek, which is ten miles northeast of Roswell and Captain Scott said - 'Bonney, you must go with me, we just have to get those Indians! If I don't catch them I will be courtmartialed.' He then told me that a runner had overtaken him at Picacho that day with orders for him to go back to Colfax County and turn his command over to Lieut.Penn.
Lieutenant Penn had just arrived from West Point. There had been and Indian uprising over in the northern part of the state. 'If I catch those Indians, Bonney, it will be O. K. even if I did disobey orders, by coming on here, but if I don't catch them - well, I will be courtmartialed.' That's the way of the world, one is rarely ever given the credit for trying, for doing their level best, but achievements bring glory and one is overwhelmed with honors and praise.
"Well," continued Mr. Bonney, "I told Captain Scott I would go with him, but he would have to leave his buglers behind, for you could never catch Indians with a noise like they made. I told him to select five of his best tried men and to leave the rest in Roswell, and at 2 o'clock the next morning to send me one of his best horses, I had my own saddle, bridle and gun. He was to send the horse where the corner of Vain and Third Streets now is. Captain Scott's encampment was in an old corral a block north, about what is now Main and Second Street. Captain Scott did send a good horse. We left Roswell at 2 A. M. and crossed Comanche Draw at sunup, where we struck the Indians' trail. We pressed on and caught up with them, just outside of the sands, between Comanche Draw and Mescalero Springs. The Indians made a stand in the sand hills. It looked for a while like we would have to shoot it out with them. They were part Comanches and part Apaches - forty-seven in all. One old Indian, the leader, threw up his gun to fire on Captain Scott. I saw him just in time to throw my gun on the Indian who then was afraid to shoot. I got down walked around, and made a
"Well," continued Mr. Bonney, "we then disarmed all the Indians, who soon gave up, after we had caught their leader, and they had pretty good guns too. We went on over to Mescalero Springs and camped all night. We divided the Comanches from the Mescaleros and sent the Comanches to Fort Sill and took the Apaches back to Mescalero Reservation.
"Yes, we got them, and every thing was O. K. for Scott, I guess. He wasn't courtmartialed even though he didn't turn his command over to Lieutenant Penn as ordered." Lieutenant Penn was afterwards made General and was here as inspector of the New Mexico Military Institute. Captain Scott was afterwards made Major General.
"We didn't have such good luck every time we went out after Indians," said Mr. Bonney, "One time a band of Comanches stoke fifty horses from a corral in Capitan mountains and came out to Mescalero Springs. We got so hot on their trail, the Indians stabbed twenty-seven of the horses when they tired out.
Fourteen of them died. The Indians watered at Mescalero Springs and completely disappeared. We had brought no water or provisions and had to turn back. A party headed by Pat Garrett found some of the band, and horses, and brought back moccasins and things as evidence, we asked no questions those days - we knew better - but we surmised a great deal. Anyway no more horses were stolen.
"Just after those times of up-risings," continued Mr.Bonney, "I met a young lady, Sara Lund, who was teaching the first school ever taught in Roswell, and I can tell you I pursued her, more than I did any Indians, and the money I made as Indian scout went to buy our engagement ring. We were married in 1887. Things have been peaceful and happy all the years since that time.

It isn't often that a politician gets an airport named in their honor. That's what happened to Bill and me. The Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission decided to rename their airport to the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport.
Why? Because Bill and I mean so much to Arkansas. Really? That's what the Commission said.
It's really strange to have an airport named after you. Even more so because I couldn't wait to get out of Arkansas back in the early 1990s. Not many people know this, but the reason Bill ran for president in the first place was because I refused to live in Little Rock any longer.
After we left the White House we moved New York because that was a few thousand miles from Arkansas. I took the job as Secretary of State because that got me on the road all the time, and, you guessed it, away from Arkansas.
So, now we get an Arkansas airport named after us?
Why not a whole city? After all, the name of Little Rock doesn't evoke much confidence, does it. What's wrong with Clintonville? Or, just plain Clinton? Or, Hillarytown?
An airport is one thing, but a whole city would be a nice touch. I'll mention that the next time I'm in Arkansas. Hmmm. My schedule says that I'll arrive at Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport just two days after the 6th Thursday of never.

Arizona soccer head coach Tony Amato knows that every legacy has a starting point. His tenure began in January 2013 when he arrived at the University of Arizona.
At one of the first team meetings, he sat his team down and asked them what values they wanted to embody.
It was here that the seven core values of Arizona soccer were born: consistency, heart, unity, resiliency, discipline, winning mentality and work ethic.
"My favorite core value is unity because I think that without unity it is hard to achieve our common goals together," rising senior Brie DeFelice said. "If our goal is to make it to the tournament, then it will take every single one of us working hard as a single unit to achieve it."
The players are fully aware of the group effort it takes to win, including an active coaching staff.
"They have set out a detailed plan of exactly what they want to do and have structured it so everyone knows their individual roles in order to make our goals happen," DeFelice said. "Every game we have a game plan. How they set us up to play is going to be successful, it's just whether we execute it or not."
Living the core values is easy for rising senior Julia Glanz because she knows Amato is going to hold her accountable.
"He is very straight forward," Glanz said. "He lets you know exactly what you need to do to bring success to the team."
But there is one core value that Glanz has no trouble remembering.
"Worth ethic is one of my core values, I keep it in mind everyday at training," Glanz said. "With hard work comes improvement. With improvement come success, which is ultimately the goal we are striving for."
With a year of building the program behind them, rising senior Gabby Kaufman has faith the team is destined for success.
"Starting this season is the changing point for our program and making it as successful as it should be," said Kaufman. "I think this is a big year for the program. Last year was our transition year and we improved so much. We can only get better."
Last fall, the Wildcats won four Pac-12 games, including a thrilling overtime win against USC and a season-ending win against rival Arizona State. The 2014 senior class is not satisfied and is ready to make a bigger impact in the conference.
"Our goal for this season is to be the most successful, win more Pac-12 games," DeFelice said. "We have won a little more every year and this year is about really making a statement."
But for Glanz, she has her sights set higher.
"We want to make it to the NCAA tournament, " Glanz said. "We were close this past year and that is the ultimate goal."
A successful season would be their way of leaving their mark on Arizona soccer.
"I want to leave this program and make an impact," Kaufman said. "I want to be that team that started the process of building this legacy."
