Oil paintings, Acrylic paintings, Mixed Media paintings, Watercolor Paintings and Pen & Ink Renderings, by Artist Bonnie E. Rodgers' for an art Purchase
Since I graduated with my BFA in 1998 and MFA 2005 I have produced many pieces of art by "Painting the Fabric of My Life". Since becoming a North Port Florida artist I paint en Plein Air capturing sandhill and lesser cranes, egret, kingfisher, blue heron plus much more. Punta Gorda, Florida Farmer's Market, off Olympus street, is where I also paint oil, acrylic, watercolor, or mixed media paintings on Saturdays from 8:00 to 1:00 p.m.. Come and meet me and see my new work in progress.
My career has also led me into creating aesthetically pleasing murals for homes, offices, hospitals, daycares and restaurants. I love interacting with other enthusiastic artists through Oil Painters of America, American Watercolor Society, Landscape Painters of America and many other organizations. I am still amazed when my work earns an award. The Artist Magazine, Nebraska Mother's Association, the National Mother's Association, Omaha Artist, Inc., Bellevue Artists Association, Charlotte County Chamber and Charlotte County Art Fair have awarded me ribbons from Best of Show to Honorable Mention.
"Art is the vehicle through which my inner experiences, insights, and intuition are manifested on canvas paintings or as paintings on paper Ideas flicker past me like migrating birds, some must be fully explored and others escape into their own journey." Teaching art workshops and adult art classes encourages me to take risks and pass them on to my students so they can to find their own artistic voice. I currently teach all media at North Ports Hobby Lobby and Lakeside Plantation so come and join me with whatever media you are working in.

BYU is like the car salesman who is terrific at selling used lemons, knows just
the right way to get really desperate people into a junk of a car, yet just
can't find a way to sale a newer model, which obviously brings in more money for
the dealership.
Then they go to the boss and makes demands about salary, hours, benefits, etc. Demands that even the top salesmen in the company can't get away with, even with a clearly superiour resume.
And they can't understand why their previous employer, and 2 potential new employers, have told them to take a hike.
Then they come back home and tell their wife that being unemployed because you can't get along with anyone is actually a better situation.

This is a PR nightmare for BYU
I am tired of watching BYU play lousy WAC teams.
I am tired of the whole realignment game.
Oh goodie...next year we get to play Weber State
End the madness!

Hmmm... 141 comments on this thread right now, and only 10 comments on the article about the Utes' bowl prospects. I'm really wondering which team is really irrelevant, and which one needs to start playing more exciting opponents.

I still don't understand the Big 12 deal and why BYU bothced it! As a BYU alum and season ticket holder, why would I want to send my kid to the Y with their Independence thing when he could head up to the U and play in the PAC 12 and a chance to go to the Rose Bowl every year? Most recruits can and will get some of the "BYU experiance" up at the U as most of the coaches are LDS and share the same values as alot of the recruits BYU is after. Recruiting will be the first thing that will hit the BYU program(already has). I think all the Utah games were on TV this year as well. Kind of a sad situation in Provo right now.

I haven't read all the comments, but what many fail to see is that automatic
qualification and making money are not the top priorities for BYU. EXPOSURE is
the top priority.
The football team exists at BYU to get exposure for the school and the Church. BYU's values are not the same as other teams which only care about making money and getting into a BCS bowl game. If BYU gets 1.6 million viewers per game, that's by far more important than the money or the BCS bowls. If BYU can get their current TV rights and viewership, go ahead and join a conference. BUT, if BYU has to give up it's current TV deal, then forget it. We're doing just fine as we are.

I am so glad that the Big East deal fell through; it looks as if the Big East is just going to be the new WAC or Mountain West Conference and we don't need that again. We need to remain independent; it has been great being able to see all of the games this year here in Florida.

I wonder what BYU's recruiting pitches will be like now.
"Well we have a very stong tradition of class and excellence in our football program and if you choose our school, your family will be able to see all of our games as we take on quality opponents like Idaho,Idaho State, New Mexico State, Central Florida, and North Texas. All of this you will see every week on ESPN at an 8:30 pm kickoff time. You will have to understand that our football team has no conference, no rivalry, no real chance at getting a bowl bid greater than the Armed Forces or New Mexico bowls. But we at BYU believe football is number 5 on our priority list. Livning the gospel is what we should all be trying to do and you can only do it at BYU. No need to try and be a missionary at another school now."

There is a ton of criticism and a lot support about and for BYU and conference
alignment. But it's all in the perspective of where you are when looking.
Many of you posters are seeing it from the "what's in it for me" perspective, ok, that's reasonable, others see it from a perspective of enmity or hate and it's very obvious while others see it from a perspective of Ha Ha, gotta love it sarcasm and others see it from the perspective of the aims and goals of BYU and the Church and that's fine too.
Which of the perspectives is the right one? who really knows, every one thinks theirs is. At the end of the day, it is what it is and the perspective we see it from may be the farthest from reality.
My perspective is, for what it's worth, that in this ridiculously chaotic scramble to be on top and get the best position for the fight, some unforeseen element of surprise will undoubtedly appear and topple the whole thing.

Duckhunter observed "I love all of the utah "fans" pretending to

So you're saying there are no disgruntled BYU fans?
Interesting position. "If you complain, you are not a fan."
Technically correct, too, according to Merriam-Webster's...

What a mess, it's obvious to me that the BYU administration is not interested in
joining a BCS conference (probably never was). As a BYU fan, I couldn't
disagree more, the shot at the Big 12 was BYU's best and maybe only chance at
joining a big conference. Could you imagine the football nirvana in Utah with
the Utes in the Pac 12 and BYU in the Big 12? The Big East would have been an
ok option, but I'm still stinging from the Big 12 failure. I just can't get
excited anymore about playing these WAC teams, this November has been dreadful.
BYU administrators, you've made the bed and now it's time to sleep in it. You've just placed enormous pressure on Bronco and the players to win and win and win more, otherwise, it could get ugly with nothing to play for each year.

Wow! Amazing!
I thought the idea was to get "exposure"? How is trying to fill your football schedule 'dance card' with an occasional top 25 team and practice squads from the WAC going to give you exposure??
Good luck getting invited to another AQ conference.

All the serious BYU fans need to stop buying tickets and make a push to replace
the current AD and staff. BYU basically just turtled and declined to play on a
bigger stage.
I always hate seeing tune-up games. I don't see much entertainment value in beating a team by 40 points and having the game out of reach by middle of the second quarter, but it appears the free men(independent lovers) can't get enough of this. That is strange, sad too, but mainly strange.
Their handling of this issue just ensured that three whole conferences won't schedule them. Independence works for Notre Dame because they basically play a Big Ten schedule. What will BYU do when the WAC dissolves? I guess you will have to beg the Sun Belt or MAC for an arrangement.
I feel sorry for all the serious BYU fans, for the rest of the lemmings willingly to follow the football program off the cliff--enjoy the ride. Here's some music for you:
You'll do swell, you'll do great going to have the whole world on a plate. Starting here, starting now, everything's coming up roses.
Enjoy the magical mystery tour!

Up front, I'm a Ute fan, but I enjoy watching the Y on occassion, and am
certainly not a hater.
In all honesty, I'm glad the Big East didn't cave into the Y's demands. This was just sounding like what Texas did to the Big 12 all over again--wanting special rules and special amounts of money. A conference really should be about equitability, so schools can support each other whether their peers are struggling or being successful.
I don't think the Y is ready to accept a conference affiliation right now. So I'm glad the options are gone so we can re-dedicate our time talking about independence status.

For the same reason traffic always slows to a hault around an accident, even when it's not in the line of traffic.

I'm sorry but playing everyone currently in the Big East is no better than the MWC or WAC teams on the schedule this year. It would have been foolish and short sighted for BYU to do this. The Big East is a sinking ship whose only asset is their AQ bid to a BCS bowl which will most likely go away in a couple years. Smart move by BYU.

I love this news.
But I don't understand why Boise State is insisting on a western travel partner if they're just joining for football only. Football teams only play one game a week - it's not like Rutgers would go play a football game in Boise, hang out in Idaho all week, and then go to Provo/San Diego to play the following Saturday before heading back to New Jersey. Travel partners are for sports where games are played a day or two apart.
Also, why do people seem to think that superconferences, if they happen, will require 10 or 11 conference games? Actually, I think it's more likely that they'll revert back to 8 instead of the currently trending 9. Everyone wants good nonconference games.

@hoosiercoug - As an apparent BYU fan living outside of Utah, you obviously miss the point. They were on TV more this year than ever before so people can actually see the games. (Yes, some of us have wandered outside the bubble.) In addition, the AQ paradigm is likely going away in the future which is why they AREN'T scrambling to get into an "AQ" conference.

For all of you saying that the Big East is just another version of the MWC, guess what? I'd love to see us competing in the MWC again! I'd love to see us competing for anything at this point. We have nothing to play for in independence! What if we lose to Georgia Tech the first game of the year next season? Oops! nothing to play for AGAIN. But sure lets pretend being independent is great! We are just like Bronco, when we are in discussions with a BCS conference, we want BCS access, when we say no... Independence is the greatest thing ever! I'll get my season tickets next year, but if we lose the first game of the season I'm selling them on StubHub..

Hajj pilgrims spent today, the third day of the Eid Al-Adha, in Mina. Many performed the stoning of the devil ritual at Jamarat again before leaving for Makkah, where they circled the Holy Ka'abah. Other pilgrims will stone the devil tomorrow before heading to Makkah.
In a press conference today, Ministry of Interior Spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki noted that the pilgrims were able to perform the rituals without incident. He praised their adherence to the regulations, which he attributed to greater awareness of behavior and items that can cause problems.
Saudi authorities have gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of pilgrims during the stoning ritual at Jamarat, which has traditionally been one of the most crowded parts of the Hajj. An expansion of the Jamarat Bridge allowed a large number of pilgrims to progress easily, and Saudi authorities prevented pilgrims from camping out on or near the bridge, which has in the past been a cause of congestion. In addition, a plan was implemented setting out certain times for groups of pilgrims to perform the stoning ritual.

Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

Christian Villanueva and Rafael Lopez each blasted grand slams and the offense scored a new season-high in runs as the Iowa Cubs (33-28) pounded the Fresno Grizzlies, 17-2 on Monday night at Chukchansi Park. Iowa bats were as hot as the 108 degree temperature in Fresno.
In addition to his grand slam in the ninth, Lopez also had a two-run single in the sixth and an RBI groundout in the fifth. Lopez went 2-for-5 with a career-high 7 RBI. The 7 RBI is also the most RBI by an Iowa batter this season.
Iowa scored single runs in each of the first three innings. In the first, Javier Baez smacked his ninth home run of the season, coming off Grizzlies starter Jason Berken (7-5). A Matt Szczur RBI double in the second and an RBI single by Ryan Kalish in the third gave Iowa a 3-1 lead after three innings.
Iowa posted two more runs in the fifth. Javier Baez narrowly missed his second home run of the night, tripling off the center field wall. Lopez would drive him in with a ground ball to second. Later in the inning, Villanueva added an RBI single.
A six-run sixth put the game away for Iowa, highlighted by Villanueva's grand slam. The last time the Iowa Cubs hit two grand slams in a game was on 8/12/2006 when Micah Hoffpauir and Lou Montanez accomplished the feat.
On a night when the offense provided an avalanche of runs, the pitching didn't need them. Tsuyoshi Wada (6-3) provided another quality start for the team, tossing six innings and allowing only one run on eight hits, walking one and striking out two.
Villanueva had two hits and 5 RBI. Baez went 3-for-5 with 2 RBI, missing the cycle by a double, and Arismendy Alcantara added three hits. Iowa tied a season-high in hits with 17.
Game two of the series is Tuesday night.

Cecil Taylor: Lazy Afternoon
Lazy Afternoon
Cecil Taylor (piano)
The World Of Cecil Taylor (Candid-CCD79006)
Cecil Taylor (piano), Archie Shepp (tenor sax), Buell Neidlinger (bass), Dennis Charles (drums).
Composed by Jerome Moross and John Latouche.
Recorded: New York, NY; January 12 or 13, 1960
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
Philadelphia-born tenor saxophonist Shepp was a newcomer to the band at the time of this recording, Taylor's first for Nat Hentoff's Candid label. In fact, the recent Goddard College graduate hadn't yet decided whether to remain a musician or become a playwright. Nevertheless, he performs "Lazy Afternoon" with a steady certainty, his bare lines a foil for the leader's ornate accompaniment. Taylor plays with total authority, referencing the theme in myriad figurations, and the veteran rhythm section of Neidlinger and Charles—who had appeared on the pianist's debut recording four years earlier—pace the long performance well. The drums enter so steadily as to sound almost martial, a beguiling effect when combined with the delicate melody.

Got writer's block? Don't put off writing your wedding-related thank-you notes any longer. After all, you should try to send a thank-you card within three months of receipt (and no, you don't have a year to send your thank you's — that's a total wedding myth!). To help, we've put together some sample thank-you notes for every gift-giving scenario.
Scenario #1: Someone gives you money
Expert Advice: Don't mention the amount but do explain how you'll use the cash
Dear Aunt Melissa and Uncle Marc,
Chris and I were thrilled with your generous and thoughtful gift. You've brought us one step closer to our dream house. Looking forward to seeing you again when we're back home for the holidays!
Scenario #2: You don't know the person who gave you the gift
Expert Advice: Mention that you're looking forward to meeting them at the wedding
Dear Mrs. Bergen,
Thank you for the gorgeous crystal bowl. It will look absolutely perfect on the coffee table in our apartment. My mother has always spoken so fondly of you — Chris and I look forward to finally meeting you at the wedding. (I'll be the woman in white!)
Scenario #3: You don't know what the gift is
Expert Advice: Focus on the giver's kindness rather than the mystery
Dear Jane and Tom,
Chris and I want to thank you for the wonderful wedding gift. You are such a creative, caring couple, and we feel lucky to count you as friends.
Scenario #4: It's a group gift
Expert Advice: Send individual thank-you's but give a shout-out to the group
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for the gas grill. It's so cool and high-tech — just what we'd been wanting. We're lucky to have friends who know us so well. You'll have to come by for some of Chris's famous ribs soon!

Scenario #5: You already have one (or already exchanged it)
Expert Advice: Don't acknowledge the situation or say how you'll use it; talk about the gift instead
Dear Derek,
Chris and I want to thank you for the vintage cocktail shaker. The Art Deco design is so sleek and handsome — you are clearly a man with good taste! We're so happy you were able to make it to the wedding.
Scenario #6: You hate it and can't return it
Expert Advice: Don't be a phony and rave about the gift, but do say something positive
Dear Grandma,
Thank you so much for the fish platter. The color reminds me of the china we used for family dinners at your house, and I'm delighted to see it again! We're thrilled that you'll be at our wedding, and at having the entire Goodman family together.
Scenario #7: The person gave a gift off your registry
Expert Advice: Mention how much you love the gift and plan to use it regularly
Dear Margaret,
Thank you so much for the juicer. Chris and I have been wanting one for a while and we're already coming up with new recipes. We'll have to have you over for brunch soon so you can see it in action! We're so happy you were able to make it to the wedding.

Jackson's performance of the mock children's book, Go the F**k to Sleep Monday 6/9/14 through Father's Day, 6/15/14 at www.audible.com/sleep.
Go the F**ck to Sleep was written by Adam Mansbach. The recording is a hysterically funny adult storybook that captures an exhausted parent's attempt to put their kid to bed.

Right after that the recording became a viral phenomenon. In fact, his performance is the most downloaded Audible Studios title of all time. It was an Audie finalist for Audiobook of the Year in 2012.
"I remember all those times when I did read to my daughter when she was that age and everybody tells you reading stories will put kids to sleep, but it never works. It didn't in my house," said Samuel L. Jackson. "I did say "Go the F**k to sleep" to her a lot and I think at some point she would look at me when I would come into her room and she would say "go the f**k to sleep daddy?" and I would say "yeah, go the f**k to sleep."
Audible's mission is to establish literate listening as a core tool for anyone seeking to be more productive, better informed, or more thoughtfully entertained. They have secured other acclaimed actors to perform works of literature for Audible.

I'm pretty sure you meant $170 *thousand* (not million) for solar panels.
Endowment commission closes in on consensus
Tuesday night, the Endowment Commission met to decide the fate of the $3.4 million Student Activities Fee Endowment. Coming off a closed executive session on Sunday, the commission weighed in on the main ideas left on the table.
All the commissioners present selected Georgetown Energy's $170
million thousand proposal to install solar panels on 43 townhouses as a primary recommendation. The money saved from solar energy use would feed into the GUSA fund.
As for Healy Pub, the commission attempted to balance its desire to give the proposal a vote of confidence, while still funding other requests.
"There's a general feeling among the commissioners that the pub should be pursued," said Colton Malkerson (COL '12), chairman of the GUSA Finance and Appropriations Committee. "Its such an interesting idea that can check off all of the different boxes we have for student space."
The main dilemma surrounding the Healy space was how much money to grant to the proposal. Also, Todd Olson, University vice president for student affairs, opposes seeking outside fundraising for this or any proposal on the grounds that it detracts from the University's own efforts.
Then, the commission heard a proposal from the library for $400,000 to dismantle 22 shelving units on the second floor and fill the space with modular furniture. The money would also add non-fluorescent lights, clear dry-erase boards, flat screen TVs, projectors, and 150 new seats to the area outside Midnight Mug.
"We really want to expand some of our spaces and resources to students," University Librarian Artemis Kirk, the main advocate of the proposal, said. "I have often joked that you use the library from 9-5, and I mean 9pm to 5am."
The space could be operational Fall 2012. Proponents of the project cited the immediate and desired need for space, while others asserted that the university should be paying for capital improvement such as these. The commission did not vote in or table this idea, but it did appear on most commissioners' primary recommendations.
Meanwhile, commissioners did not include the Georgetown University Social Innovation and Public Service fund in its primary recommendations over concerns that the money would only be available to the select group of students that applied for and received funding. What's more, SIPS's managers planned to spend down the endowment to fund projects until outside donations could make the fund sustainable. Malkerson objected that it would not be appropriate to use a failed endowment to fund a similar proposal.
New South Student Center was also absent from most commissioners' primary recommendations. Considering that the student center is present in the University's 2010 Campus Plan, many commissioners thought it was unnecessary to give it funding. But the commission retained the student center as a fallback proposal in case the Healy pub couldn't go forward.
In contrast, funding for murals was flatly rejected because it failed to attain the desired scope of the endowment.

UMass Tops UNH 24-17, Advances To NCAA Semifinals
Dec. 2, 2006
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
AMHERST, Mass. - No. 3 UMass (12-1) advanced to the NCAA Semifinals for the first time since the National Championship season of 1998, with a 24-17 victory over No. 9 New Hampshire (9-4) before a sell-out crowd of 17,000. The Minutemen travel to No. 2 Montana next weekend. The day and time will be announced on Sunday.
Tailback Steve Baylark romped for 198 yards - his second-highest rushing total - to pace the UMass offensive attack. His 60-yard burst in the first quarter set up his only touchdown of the day.
In a virtual repeat of the waning seconds in the regular season meeting between the rivals, Jason Hatchell batted down a fourth-and-one pass by UNH's Ricky Santos, intended for Keith LaVan, to ensure the 12th victory of the for the Minutemen.
Brad Anderson intercepted Ricky Santos with 13:30 left in the fourth quarter and returned the ball 31 yards to the UNH 14-yard line which set up Chris Koepplin's 33-yard field goal with 11:08 left in regulation.
UMass took a 21-17 lead as Brandon London snagged a 31-yard TD pass from Liam Coen with 6:21 left in the third quarter. He broke away and dove across the endzone line with tacklers drapped on him. It was London's 15th career receiving TD, tying for fourth-most at UMass.
The Wildcats grabbed a 17-14 halftime lead as Tom Manning kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired in the first half. UNH tied the game at 14-14 with 1:34 left in the first half as Keith Levan hauled in an 11-yard pass from Ricky Santos.
UMass took a 14-7 lead as sophomore Ian Jorgensen caught a 6-yard pass from Liam Coen with 8:56 left in the second quarter.
The teams traded big drives in the first three minutes of the game. After a fumbled opening kickoff by Courtney Robinson, UMass regrouped and drove down the field 98 yards in six plays capped by a Baylark 1-yard run, just 2:29 into the game. Baylark's career-long 60-yard run keyed the drive.
New Hampshire answered on their first play from scrimmage as Chad Kackert took a handoff 87 yards and dashed down the left sideline for a score with 3:09 left in the first quarter. It was the longest run by a UNH players this season.
The last sellout at a UMass game was on Sept. 8, 1973, when 18,100 jammed into McGuirk Stadium, prior to fire code guidelines. The crowd is the ninth-largest in UMass history.

I'm running MW 2012 on Windows 8 x64. MW worked fine for the first couple of weeks after I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 8.
Then if MW loaded when Windows restarted, Windows Task Manager would show MW running but there would be no icon in the notification area, so no way to access MW. Running MailWasherPro.exe manually would result in the MW splash screen appearing and freezing at the message 'Starting MailWasher'. Closing the running process and starting MW again would sometimes work, other times it would hang on the splash screen again.
So I turned off MW auto-start, restarted Windows and started MW manually. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. Today whatever I try, MW is freezing on the splash screen at 'Starting MailWasher.'
I've tried a repair reinstallation, no joy. So is the installation corrupted in some way, is there a conflict with Windows 8 or with some other app I'm running, or what? Is there a way to find out what's causing the freeze and remedy it, short of wiping and recreating the whole installation plus accounts?

English author Leigh Russell, whose books are increasing in popularity daily, is now under contract with HarperCollins' e-books division. As of November of this year, Russell's Detective Inspector (DI) Geraldine Steel's series will be released in the e-book format. The first will be Cut Short, which introduces Steel, one of the most interesting detectives of all time. In the beginning, Steel finds herself in the tranquil town of Woolmarsh, or so she thought. Instead, young women are being murdered in the park, by a predator with more than a few screws loose. In the tradition of top tier authors, Russell created Steel out of her vivid imagination, but Steel is also is reminiscent of a special blend, extracted from the most admired detectives in the mystery genre. Readers will be motivated to become diehard fans, once they read their first Geraldine Steel novel.
Following Cut Short will be Road Closed, which will be released on December 31st, ISBN: 9780062325617, Dead End on January 28th, 2014, ISBN: 9780062325631, and Death Bed on February 24th, 2014, ISBN: 9780062325655.
Leigh Russell is the mastermind behind the Geraldine Steel mystery series. Russell's characters, plots and sub-plots merge into the perfect mystery books for mystery lovers. I wrote upon explaining why I selected Leigh Russell's Dead End as one of the top 16 fiction books for 2012.
Leigh Russell expresses her feelings about America, "Rosa, I love America. I came to Florida for my honeymoon, which was wonderful, and visited New York in October 2001 after the attack on the World Trade Centre. A small group of us travelled to New York to demonstrate our solidarity with the people of America after the twin towers tragedy.
The author, Leigh Russell, "I am very excited that Harper Collins are publishing my books in the US, one a month, starting with Cut Short in November 2013. Harper Collins is a fantastic publisher and I am looking forward to visiting America before long to meet fans of mystery novels, and to promote the Geraldine Steel series."

For the second time in the three-round tournament, Arizona posted its best team score of the spring season. Sunday's 4-over-par performance is the squad's best mark since Oct. 20 when it shot 292 in the final round of the Stanford-Pepsi Intercollegiate. The team's three-round score of 886 (+22) is its second-best tournament score of the season, eclipsed only by an 18-over-par showing at the Auburn Tiger-Derby Invitational in November. California claimed the team title with a three-day score of 12-over-par 876. UCLA's Charlotte Mayorkas took individual medalist honors, finishing at 7-under-par 209. She was one of only three golfers in the field to complete the tournament under par. Texas finished in second place, one shot behind California. UCLA and Southern California took third and fourth places, respectively. The final round saw Arizona sophomore Miriam Kraschinski scorch the Karsten Golf Course with a 4-under-par 68. The score is Kraschinski's first career round in the 60s and matches the best single-round score of any Arizona individual this season. The sophomore from Whitianga, New Zealand, made five birdies and 10 pars on the first 15 holes of the day before bogeying the 153-yard, par-3 16th hole.

She closed the event with a final-round 73 (+1). Joining Kraschinski in a tie for 21st place was senior Anne Lee, who completed the tournament with a final-round 75 (+3).

Senior Laura Myerscough completed the Arizona lineup and tied for 44th place at 13-over-par 229. Sophomore Mar Garcia and freshman Whitney Welch competed as individuals, tying for 60th and 63rd places, respectively.
Coach Allen's Thoughts on Team: "We certainly have not played to our potential this spring. But we feel like the Spring season gets going in April. We've won five of the last seven Pac-10 championships. We seem to be a team that peaks in April."

Dear Dr. Don,
I've read all the articles about laddering,
but I still don't understand why laddering is more beneficial than putting all
the money in a five-year CD (certificate of deposit). I have about $6,000 dollars
that I want to save wisely. I would appreciate it if you could explain why laddering
CDs makes sense just one more time. Thank you.
-- Ayako Accumulate
Dear Ayako,
A CD ladder forces you to reinvest periodically.
That forced reinvestment stops you from trying to time the market. Building a
CD ladder requires you to invest in several maturities out to the longest maturity
on your investment horizon. The individual CDs are rungs on the ladder. When one
matures, you reinvest the money out to your investment horizon.
you build a five-year ladder with one-year rungs, when the one-year CD matures
you would use the money to buy a new five-year CD. That means that every year
you would buy a five-year CD when an existing CD matures. When interest rates
are low, you get a lower yield; when they're high you get a higher yield, but
your average yield is expected to outpace what you could do by trying to time
the market.
It's a little bit like dollar cost averaging
in stocks, only with dollar cost averaging you invest a set amount, say $200,
on a regular interval and the number of shares that you can buy with that $200
varies with the price of the stock.
The big difference between
dollar cost averaging and a CD ladder is that with a CD ladder, you invest the
money initially and then reinvest periodically. With dollar cost averaging, you
invest periodically, building the principal balance in the account.
one likes to be "long and wrong" with interest rates. You want to avoid
buying a five-year CD for $6,000 today at 4.31 percent only to see CD rates rise
over the term of the CD.
The temptation to time interest
rates is strong, especially in the current low interest rate environment. If you're
convinced that rates are heading higher, you may want to invest in a stepladder
CD portfolio, where you keep your investment horizon and maximum maturity shorter
initially, and then extend the rungs of the ladder as your CDs mature.

" page, and select one of these topics: "financing a home," "saving & investing" or "

Stab and slice interpretations of the United States Constitution are threatening American citizens daily, and the most recent is brought to you by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which decided earlier this week that cops no longer need to secure a warrant before searching a vehicle.
The incident surrounding this verdict involves a 2010 traffic stop in which the Philadelphia police pulled over a vehicle for having a dark window tint, and later discovered two pounds of marijuana stashed under the hood.
The Fourth Amendment is supposed to prohibit law enforcement officers from conducting "unreasonable search and seizures." This right is forfeited, however, if police see evidence of illegal substances in plaint sight or if the driver consents to a search. However, based on the opinion of the PA justices, an officer only needs to establish reasonable probable cause to conduct a search without a warrant.
However, Supreme Court Justice Debra McCloskey Todd does not support the opinion of the justice majority, stating that decision "heedlessly contravenes over 225 years of unyielding protection against unreasonable search and seizure, which our people have enjoyed as their birthright." It is "diametrically contrary to the deep historical and legal traditions" of the state of Pennsylvania, she added.
Legal experts are worried that the court's ruling has opened the door for a governmental stranglehold that could reduce the rights of the American citizen. "It's an expanding encroachment of government power," said Pennsylvania attorney Jeffrey Conrad. "It's a protection we had two days ago, that we don't have today. It's disappointing from a citizens' rights perspective."
Attorney Christopher Patterson, added, "that we are on a slippery slope that will eliminate personal privacy and freedom in the name of expediency for law enforcement."

Tattoos in Myrtle Beach has gained well deserved attention of late. Myrtle Beach forwards a rarely aesthetic sea face to its many tourists but the entire paraphernalia it has set for the travelers is equally worth noting. Of late, many tattoo parlors have sprung up in the Myrtle Beach area and most of them offer state of art service within their premises. Prior to hiring the services of a Myrtle Beach tattoo shop, you should consider a few points. Once these criterions are fulfilled, you can go about getting yourself tattooed in peace.
You should look for an autoclave. These are tools required to sterilize the needles and equipments. As an addition, you can also ask for the sample of spore test results. You must also look around for facilities for washing your hands with hot water and alkaline soap in a tattoo Myrtle Beach shop. Myrtle Beach tattoo shops are infused with a rare pleasantness because of its very affable artists too. They are polite to every customer and always ready to answer any technical or design-related questions posed by tattoo Myrtle Beach seekers.
Myrtle Beach tattoo shops use fresh ink for each client and keep them poured in small disposable packets or containers for separate customers. They provide smart service but also take due care of aftercare by providing sterilized washing facilities. Myrtle Beach tattoo shops are very clear about negating tattooing to the minors, drug affected people and those who have sensitive skin prone to rashes. If you try the services of reputed Myrtle Beach tattoo shops like BullDawg Ink, you can be rest assured of a large repertoire of designs and instructions about their origins. Most of the artists are trained at least informally in blood borne pathogens and cross contamination that may result from tattooing in rare cases.
Tattoos are permanent decorative marks which are posted on the skin surface with a rare knowledge of art. Top companies can create an original piece or may also utilize one of the stock images that they have for tracing onto the skin surface. Tattoos fulfill a lot of human quests. It can be a signal of departure towards a spiritual journey and it can also be a sign of love or may be used as a sign of punishment chosen by oneself. You can get a tattoo Myrtle Beach done on yourself if you want to affiliate yourself to a particular group or endorse a specific religious outfit or even for purely cosmetic reasons.
Myrtle Beach Tattoo shops work in an avant garde way and deep down you will clearly realize that the patterns you seek on yourself are a result of carefully applied techniques. The technical draw of tattooing is well manifest by a tattoo Myrtle Beach shop. They usually use an electric machine and a 5 needle set-up to insert ink inside the surface of the skin. The needle is bar-soldered in the Myrtle Beach tattoo shops and is good to press ink almost 100 to 2000 times a minute.

Fat City Recordings is set to release the much-anticipated album In The Red, by the Mancunian wunderkind Trus'Me featuring collaborations with Dam-Funk, Amp Fiddler, and Paul Randolph. His debut album Working Nights is regularly held up as "one of the finest deep house and disco albums to come out of the U.K in years", but this was just the beginning of the Trus'me sound. Since then he has become increasingly adept and inventive at taking on the sound system roots of reggae, soul, and disco, blending them with house and techno, to create a hypnotically radical sound.
Dam-Funk, Stones Throw recording artist and LA's rising star of the nu-boogie scene collaborates on a low slung interpretation of the WasNotWas disco epic "Wheel Me Out". Also on board is the jazzy Detroit innovator Amp Fiddler who features on two tracks including a bass & rhodes heavy cover of Bill Withers' bittersweet classic "Can We Pretend". Paul Randolph, Jazzanova's current front-man, provides vocals for a house'd up version of West Phillips' boogie favorite "Sucker for a Pretty Face" and Mahogani Music's longtime collaborator Pirahnahead lends his vocal skills to the title track "In the Red".
Also look for a limited edition one-sided red vinyl 7″ pressing of "Bail Me Out," coming soon from Fat City Recordings.

Many of you may know that being a proper New York resident means flitting off to warmer locales and scaring the natives with your frenetic pace, ever-present dark sunglasses and debilitating ache for anything caffeinated. It's even more fun when you infest said locales in groups. Such was the case this March, when all the cool kids left NYC to the office monkeys for the SXSW festival in Austin and the Winter Music Conference in Miami. Sadly, my day gig as a dedicated office monkey doesn't allow for such indulgences so I tapped some cool kids to regale us with tales of some of the biggest events in independent music. Turns out both events were optimal for networking and raising awareness about rising and established artists. Or, for as you'll read below, boozing it up and not stopping 'til you've got enough. Personal goal for March 2009: Quit office monkey position.
Winter Music Conference – Miami, FL

Even with the silicone and overpriced society of South Beach, it's hard not to have a good time. Some highlights: dinner at Puerto Sagua with Monk One and Gas Lamp Killer rocking doubles of hip hop instrumentals at Mad Decent vs Turntable Lab, Sinbad destroying Raw Fusion at Jazid with broken beat to B'more soul remixes, myself dropping crackly sevens at the James Brown tribute party, the paparazzi set checking DJ Spinna with Ms. Baduizm at Giant Step, Dam Funk and Stones Throw Illuminati at the Raleigh Sat. afternoon, Subatomic Sound System dropping chilled vibes at Miambient, and ending with sneaking a J with a mud bath at The Standard. It's not so bad after all, even with the spring break bs and $7 bottled waters.

Me and mine snuck into an unofficial iheartcomix/JellyNYC party by haggling security and claiming we were a DJ collective. The party ended up being completely WACK – they were denying droves of people entry and the space was super empty. Their one bar had retarded lines, and while the acts were alright, I wasn't feeling the music possibly based on the difficult circumstances of getting there. So no booze, can't get all my friends in, nothin' to do, no where to go. Well, turns out there was a party on the North Lamar pedestrian bridge so we sauntered over there. Perhaps it was the juxtaposition of the previous 2 hours of my life, but No Age played and it was fucking great. Apparently, NME claimed there was a riot which caused police to come, but I must have missed it; I was talking to random stragglers like a drunken fool 'til the wee hours of the morning.
The weather was nice all week, at every hour of the day people found it personally offensive if you didn't have a beer in your hand and would place one in your grubby hands. I ran into Brooklyn kids left and right… I was filming for Jay Buim's Todd P documentary from the time I woke up in the late morning/early afternoon to the time I went to bed, starting by hopping in a van on my birthday and driving pretty much straight through to Austin with assorted hijinks along the way. Didn't sleep much at all, pleasantly lost my damn mind, saw Jah-Jah [from NYC's Ninjasonik] more times in 4 days than I've seen him in the last 6 months. Ate lots of meat 'cause that's what they do in Texas. Oh, but check this, I got a fucking original Salt 'n' Pepa concert t-shirt for 8 dollars. Don't tell me that isn't straight flamboastin' cause I will say "Emphatically No" to that.

I would definitely say the most eventful moment for me at the WMC was captured in this photo I took. DJ Spinna was killing it on the 1s & 2s. Mixing classic hip hop joints at Jazzy Jeff's "Nothing But An Old School Party," which featured performances by Common, Talib Kweli, Biz Markie, King Sun, Skills and DJ Jazzy Jeff. All of a sudden pandemonium broke out…the Retro Kids came out of nowhere and started taking it back with all the old school dances as Spinna did his thing. The young lady in the photo, obviously a true head, suddenly paused from her torrid dancing, turned and looked up at Spinna and Jeff and shouted "that's my jaaammm!" The intensity in her face says it all.

According to the American Diabetes Association, 18.2 million people in the United States have diabetes.
Marissa Vincent works for the Barren River District Health Department. She says: "Basically there's two types of diabetes. Type 1 and Type 2. And Type 1 is generally a disease in young children."
Type 1 diabetes is an auto immune disorder where the body attacks the pancreas- keeping the pancreas from creating insulin.
Type 2 diabetes, or what used to be called adult onset diabetes is generally caused by physical inactivity and obesity. "The problem with it is that we are beginning to see it in our children. So it's no longer a disease of adult onset, but we're seeing it in children due to physical inactivity and the types of diet that children are eating today."
In 2000 diabetes was the sixth leading cause for death in the United States and has been linked directly to heart disease. Losing as little as five percent of a person's body weight has been shown to lessen the chances of getting diabetes.
Vincent says: "We want to promote physical activity leading a more active lifestyle and then just being more aware of what we're eating. Not necessarily tell people foods that they can't have, just watching portion sizes and eating more fruits and vegetables."
Diabetics have to monitor their blood sugar levels and some have to take insulin shots to maintain healthy levels.
Vincent says: "With children it's very difficult for parents to get them to understand that treatment is not a punishment. Many kids feel like they're being punished because they do have to take the shots."
If not treated properly diabetes can lead to vision loss or even amputation. But today's diabetics have many new options for treatment. However Vincent feels prevention is the most important way to battle the disease.
Vincent says: "You can't take a vacation from diabetes once you have it, you have it for life."

There have been a lot of talk about the rumored A10 BlackBerry 10 device which is rumored to come out this holiday season. This device is rumored to be the first "phablet' type BlackBerry device supporting a 5 inch display. The A10 will also have plenty of storage space and processing power.
CrackBerry forum member craiggger claimed to get look at the device and stated that the A10's screen is similar to the Galaxy S4 and the same battery back that the Q10 has.
DYLANHABKIRK put out a bunch of renders of what the device could look like based on what he has heard. Take a look at the pictures below! Are you excited for this type of device? Do you like the idea of a "phablet" type of device? Let us know in the comments!

The Guardian and the NYT are both streaming Laura Marling's 3rd LP, A Creature I Don't Know ahead of its release on the 12th (UK) / 13th (US).
I have to admit that although I really, really liked Alas I cannot Swim, I just for the life of me could not get into I Speak Because I Can, despite the fact that everyone else thought it was the dog's bollocks. Maybe it was in spite of everyone else loving it and I'm just a contrary bastard, but I just felt like it was a whole bunch too precious. Still, I'm not one to force my opinion on anyone, especially when I'm clearly right.
Anyway, A Creature I Don't Know seems quite the return to form (of things Skye likes), at least on first listen. Quoth me: "hurrah!"

The proper warm-up for Team Blur was 1994's Parklife: All snot-nosed, neo-mod, track-jacket guitar-pop proudly in the tradition of the Kinks, the Jam and anything ever described as "cheeky." Conceived by Damon Albarn as a concept album a bit like Martin Amis' novel London Fields (its working title was "London"), Parklife was a zippy reminder that middle class didn't necessarily mean middle-brow. In spite of four hit-in-England singles (and one minor U.S. hit with "Girls & Boys"), Pulp went on to do all of this about a billion times better the following year on Different Class.

Lowering a BMW car on top of a high mountain
September 21, 2012 1 Comment
It's not an easy task lowering a real car on top of a 600-meter high mountain. This vid shows how difficult and dangerous that really is. Artist Jeff Koons created this beautiful BMW art car, which is a real BMW car that's going to race in the Le Mans next year.
He wanted his car to get the most exposure, so he chose the Pulpit Rock mountain in Norway, the home country of the famous Scream painting. By putting his car on a 2,000-feet high mountain, he made sure the car earned great publicity and exposure, basically guaranteeing him huge fan foot traffic and news.

Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray - A tied array for primes
Version 0.39
use Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray; # Create: tie my @primes, 'Math::Prime::Util::PrimeArray'; # Use in a loop by index: for my $n (1..10) { print "prime $n = $primes[$n]\n"; } # Use in a loop over array: for my $p (@primes) { print "$p\n"; last if $p > $limit; # stop sometime } # Use via array slice: print join(",", @primes[0..50]), "\n"; # Use via each: use 5.012; while( my($index,$value) = each @primes ) { print "The ${index}th prime is $value\n"; last if $p > $limit; # stop sometime } # Use with shift: while ((my $p = shift @primes) < $limit) { print "$p\n"; }
An array that acts like the infinite set of primes. This may be more convenient than using Math::Prime::Util directly, and in some cases it can be faster than calling
next_prime and
If the access pattern is ascending or descending, then a window is sieved and results returned from the window as needed. If the access pattern is random, then
nth_prime is used.
Shifting acts like the array is losing elements at the front, so after two shifts,
$primes[0] == 5. Unshift will move the internal shift index back one, unless given an argument which is the number to move back (it silently truncates so it does not shift past the beginning). Example:
say shift @primes; # 2 say shift @primes; # 3 say shift @primes; # 5 say $primes[0]; # 7 unshift @primes; # back up one say $primes[0]; # 5 unshift @primes, 2; # back up two say $primes[0]; # 2
If you want sequential primes with low memory, I recommend using "forprimes" in Math::Prime::Util. It is much faster, as the tied array functionality in Perl is not high performance. It isn't as flexible as the prime array, but it is a very common pattern.
If you prefer an iterator pattern, I would recommend using "prime_iterator" in Math::Prime::Util. It will be a bit faster than using this tied array, but of course you don't get random access. If you find yourself using the
shift operation, consider the iterator.
The size of the array will always be shown as 2147483647 (IV32 max), even in a 64-bit environment where primes through
2^64 are available.
There are some people that find the idea of shifting a prime array abhorrent, as after two shifts, "the second prime is 7?!". If this bothers you, do not use
shift on the tied array.
MPU forprimes: forprimes { $sum += $_ } nth_prime(100_000); MPU iterator: my $it = prime_iterator; $sum += $it->() for 1..100000; MPU array: $sum += $_ for @{primes(nth_prime(100_000))}; MPUPA: tie my @primes, ...; $sum += $primes[$_] for 0..99999; MNSP: my $seq = Math::NumSeq::Primes->new; $sum += ($seq->next)[1] for 1..100000; MPTA: tie my @primes, ...; $sum += $primes[$_] for 0..99999;
Memory use is comparing the delta between just loading the module and running the test. Perl 5.19.2, Math::NumSeq v61, Math::Prime::TiedArray v0.04.

Math::Prime::Util offers three obvious solutions: a big array, an iterator, and the
forprimes construct. The big array is fast but uses a lot of memory, forcing the user to start programming segments. Using the iterator avoids all the memory use, but isn't as fast (this may improve in a later release, as this is a new feature). The
forprimes construct is by far the fastest, but it isn't quite as flexible as the iterator (most notably there is no way to exit early, and it doesn't lend itself to wrapping inside a filter).
Math::NumSeq::Primes offers an iterator alternative, and works quite well for reasonably small numbers. It does not support random access. It is very fast for small values, but is very slow with large counts.
Math::Primes::TiedArray is remarkably impractical for anything other than very small numbers.
This module uses Math::Prime::Util to do all the work. If you're doing anything but retrieving primes, you should examine that module to see if it has functionality you can use directly, as it may be a lot faster or easier.
Similar functionality can be had from Math::NumSeq and Math::Prime::TiedArray.

Planned Parenthood in Overland Park, Kansas, is facing a criminal case that consists of one hundred and seven criminal violations, including twenty-three felonies. The case has been a long story of political intrigue and efforts of Planned Parenthood and its political friends to conceal evidence and evade the law, but recently the Kansas Supreme Court sent the case to the district court for prosecution.
For decades, we in the pro-life movement have known that the more we look, the more we see corruption in the abortion industry. Many people may think a woman should have the legal choice to get an abortion. But they also believe that medical clinics should observe the law and medical standards.
And that's what the abortion industry does not do. After all, you can't practice vice virtuously.
