First Round Tee Times
DEKALB, Ill. -- For the third consecutive year, the Northern Illinois men's golf team will open season at home as it hosts the Northern Intercollegiate at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill. The 54-hole event will begin on Friday, Sept. 6, and continue through Sunday, Sept. 8. A highly competitive field will join the Huskies this weekend at Rich Harvest Farms, led by a trio of schools, Ball State, UCF and St. Mary's, who played in last season's NCAA Championship. Eight additional schools in the Northern Intercollegiate field, Houston, Indiana, Kentucky, Liberty, North Texas, San Diego, UT Arlington and Virginia, competed in the NCAA Regionals last spring. Also joining the Huskies this weekend in Sugar Grove are Louisville, Miami (Ohio) and Ohio State to round out the 15-team field."We are excited to once again open the season at home in the Northern Intercollegiate," said NIU head coach Tom Porten. "We have a great field this season, on our home course, one of the top golf courses in the country, and we are looking forward to seeing how our young team will play. We are extremely thankful to the Rich Family for their continued support in growing this event into one of the top events in the country." Setup at 7,236 yards and playing as a par 72 this weekend, Rich Harvest Farms will once again provide a stern challenge on the opening weekend of the season. The home of the 2009 Solheim Cup, the 2015 Palmer Cup and the LPGA International Crown in 2016, Rich Harvest Farms was rated No. 58 on Golf Digest's list of America's 100 Greatest Golf Courses for 2011-12. Rich Harvest Farms will host a NCAA Men's Golf Regional this coming spring, May 15-17, 2014. A new look NIU squad will tee it up this weekend in the opening event of the season as three of NIU's five players will be seeing their first Division I action. Familiar faces on the course for the Huskies will be junior Nick Huggins (Marietta, Ohio/Marietta) and senior Shawn Foley (Pewaukee, Wis./Waukesha North). Huggins boasts a returners-best 76.3 scoring average over his seven career starts. Huggins competed in five events last season, including a fifth-place finish at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational. Foley meanwhile has accumulated five top 20s and three top 10s over 23 collegiate starts.Liam White (Waukegan, Ill./Carmel Catholic/Indian Hills CC), Pierrick Fillon (Voreppe, France/Lycee Pierre Beghin) and Jake Curwin (Faribault, Minn./Shattuck St. Mary's) are making their first appearances in the NIU lineup this weekend. White comes to NIU as a transfer from Indian Hills Community College in Iowa where he had an 11th-place finish at the NJCAA Division I National Championship last season. Fillon, a native of Voreppe, France, is Porten's first international signee during his tenure at NIU. He finished ninth in the French Under-18 Championship last year and competed in the British Boys Amateur Championship. Curwin has competed on the Future Collegians World Tour (FWCT) while at Shattuck St. Mary's, where he won a FCWT event at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club. The young Huskie lineup will also include freshman Caulen Coe (Gulf Stream, Fla./Nebraska Independent School), playing as an individual. Coe finished 49th at the prestigious Western Junior at the Country club of Florida last year.Play will begin at 8 a.m., each day with tee times going off both No. 1 and No. 10 tees. The Huskies will play Friday's opening round alongside Houston and St. Mary's. Live scoring will be available via GolfStat.com

Actor Lorenzo Lamas is having money troubles that are severe enough to cause him to file for bankruptcy for the second time. The 57-year-old actor from the reality TV show, "Leave It to Lamas" no longer works and he has amassed a mountain of bills totaling over $322,000. According to the bankruptcy documents found by Radar Online, Lorenzo claims that he has only $9,100 in assets.
According to Radar Online, Lorenzo was discharged from bankruptcy five months later. They removed, or forgave, some bills which lightened his total debt. However, it did not wipe out the $285,000 he owes in state and federal taxes from 2003. Nor does it abolish the unpaid support to his four ex-wives and three children, which amounts to roughly $19,000.
Lorenzo is married to Shawna Craig who works as a nightclub secretary. She is the only one collecting a paycheck, which amounts to $2,400 per month after deductions.
This is the second time; Lorenzo has filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The first time was in 2004. Lorenzo reportedly said after the first one, "That was my greatest fear, losing the means to support my family. But somehow I managed to pull it together and I did what I needed to do."
Apparently, Lorenzo didn't learn from his first bankruptcy. Do you think he will learn, or is he destined to keep repeating this mistake?

Joni Mitchell: Free Man In Paris
Free Man In Paris
Joni Mitchell (guitar, vocals)
Shadows and LIght (Asylum)
Joni Mitchell (guitar, vocals), Jaco Pastorius (electric bass), Pat Metheny (guitar), Lyle Mays (piano, keyboards), Michael Brecker (tenor sax), Don Alias (drums).
Composed by Joni Mitchell.
Recorded: Santa Barbara, CA, September 1979
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
I remember the first time that my friend turned me on to Joni Mitchell and the further I explored I realized that she had a knack for picking excellent band members. This live release encapsulates that ability. Recorded during her 1979 tour for the Mingus album, Jaco Pastorius was once again mixing it up with Mitchell driving her songs with his signature bass thumps. Jaco's bass line on this song gives the tune a new lease on life. Written about a trip she took with David Geffen to Paris in the early 1970s, this song originally appeared on the songstress's 1974 album Court and Spark , but this version receives the royal funk-jazz treatment and is nothing short of phenomenal.
Although he's not featured as prominently in the solo capacity on this tune, Pastorius shows us why he was one of the greatest musicians to ever touch the electric bass. His pocket is absolutely solid on this song. It's a shame that he didn't live longer but the world will forever live through the wonderful music he gave us. Score one for team Pastorius!

This beautiful couture Marisa gown is the perfect shade of ivory. The bodice is stretchy ruched silk at the top to hide those imperfections in the tummy and flows to the asymmetrical bottom. The organza (skirt portion) has an asymmetrical line with two beautiful flowers embedded in the layers that give it a unique flair.
The original cost was $2300 plus tax. I have also spent a lot of money upgrading the dress.
Neckline was changed to sweetheart and crystals were added. ($250)
Belt was sewn on and can easily be taken off if you would like ($250)
Back was changed into a corset ($200)
I also had extra crinoline sewed in to allow for a puffy princess skirt. Which can be crunched up or flattened if you don't like it super poofy ($200) Also 3 bussels we added to put the train up Looks great!
I have a bust of 34d and 25 in hips. This will fit any size top because of the corset. Super comfy and very beautiful … had a TON of compliments on the dress. I am asking $1500 obo and I also have a underskirt which I will include :) I love my dress but would like to pass it on for someone else to enjoy too ! Pretty much mint condition…tiny tear on the bottom which I did even before my wedding while trying it on lol You don't notice because of the flowy unfinished edge style. I also have a cathedral veil Pronovias $400 extra full. Will sell for $150 OBO if you buy with the dress I had a comb sewn onto it super easy to take off and on. Beautiful for pictures!

Add a list tag dictionary and remember previous tag options
The new "group tag dictionary) is a nice idea. I really like it. Can we have the same for lists? Lists already have tags assigned, so there's a good chance we might want to add list tags to list bookmarks.
Also, it would be nice to have a way to keep the "more options" section open. It seems to close each session - so i always have to open it.
(if other users have tagged the page then you could also include an "other people have tagged" section of tags too)

A similar suggestion:
'in the bookmark dialogue, when adding to a list: suggest tags'

Please: one suggestion per topic, if you can. Putting multiple subjects in a single topic makes it less easy to gain meaning from votes.

Graduate Programs
Back to Program List | Program Website
IntroductionThe Master of Humanities program in the College of Liberal Arts provides opportunities for interdisciplinary study for students who wish to pursue individually designed curricula in the humanities. Study leads to a Master of Humanities (M.Hum.) degree.
The programs primary goal is scholarly, intellectual development, and thus serves diverse personal and professional needs. High school teachers who want a content-emphasis graduate degree, persons who seek a career change or a post-retirement graduate degree, and persons who seek a second masters degree in a complementary or even a contrasting field are among the many people who may find this program uniquely suited to their needs. Graduates of specialized undergraduate programs may welcome the breadth provided by this masters degree. Part-time study is the norm; full-time study is also possible.
At the core of the program are three seminars that introduce students to the scope and methodologies of scholarly research in the humanities. In cooperation with the program director, students design a personal program of study to meet their individual academic goals. The program thus has both a specific focus on the humanities and wide flexibility within the broad curriculum of the College of Liberal Arts. While anchored in the humanities, the program encourages selection of courses from supplemental areas of study.
The range of possible programs of study is intentionally wide. A student might choose to study the role of music in African American culture or the status of women in American religion. Another student might study the interrelations of art and philosophy in modern German (or French) culture or the politics and rhetoric of Cicero. The only expectation is that students pursue an interdisciplinary program of study having a focus in the humanities.
Students are encouraged to participate in specialized programs available at the university. For example, students may design a Master of Humanities degree in conjunction with the Womens Studies Program or the African and African American Studies Program. It is also possible for a student to receive a certificate in Womens Studies in conjunction with a Master of Humanities degree. For more information on the Womens Studies certificate, see the Womens Studies Graduate Certificate Program.
Additional information about the Master of Humanities Program and a program handbook detailing policies and requirements are available upon request in the Master of Humanities Office. For more information, see our Web site at http://www.cola.wright.edu/hum/
AdmissionApplicants for admission to the Master of Humanities program must present a bachelors degree from an accredited college or university with a minimum of 30 semester or 45 quarter hours in liberal arts courses, with an overall grade point average of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in their undergraduate work. Applicants with deficiencies in their undergraduate work may be required to take additional background courses.
Applicants who do not meet the Regular admission requirements but who do meet the Graduate School admission requirements may be granted Conditional admission.
A maximum of three courses, normally not to exceed 12 quarter hours of credit, may be accepted in transfer for work completed at the masters level at other accredited institutions. Such transfer credits are subject to approval by the program as well as to the regulations of the School of Graduate Studies.
Application Procedures
Students must submit as part of the application for the Master of Humanities Program the following items:
(1) Two letters of recommendation.
(2) Statement of purpose. This statement should be approximately 250 words long, and it should describe the applicants academic background and reason for applying to the Master of Humanities program.
(3) Writing sample. The sample should be approximately five double-spaced pages long, and it should display the applicants ability for academic writing. For recent college graduates, the most appropriate sample is an undergraduate research paper. For non-traditional age students the writing sample may take another form, such as a report written for an employer.
Students interested in pursuing a Master of Humanities degree with an emphasis in studio art may be asked to present a portfolio of their work to members of the Art Department faculty as part of the admission process.
AdvisingUpon admission to the program, each student is advised by the director of the program. While enrolled in the program, all students need to consult with the director at least once each term. In consultation with the director, students will select courses consistent with their programs of study, develop preliminary ideas for their capstone projects, and choose faculty to direct those projects.
Degree RequirementsAll Master of Humanities students develop an individualized program of study in consultation with the Program Director. Although this program of study must conform to the academic requirements specified by the program, it emphasizes each students particular areas of interest.
The program is designed primarily for part-time students; therefore, it incorporates a minimum of prerequisites and sequences and a variety of options. As a result, it is flexible enough to accommodate students who must balance graduate education with the demands of a full-time job.
FacultyParticipating faculty are drawn from departments throughout the College of Liberal Arts. A list of affiliated faculty and their respective areas of expertise is available upon request in the Humanities Office and from the Internet address http://www.wright.edu/cola/hum/
Ava Chamberlain, associate professor of religion
Financial AssistanceThe university awards a limited number of graduate assistantships annually to qualified students. Prospective students may apply to the School of Graduate Studies or to the program director.

Tiburon Residence - 9.6kw Solar PV system - SunPower Panels
Frank Levinson made his Tiburon home a model for energy efficiency. His home utilizes the latest technologies in solar PV, solar thermal, insulation, green materials, lighting, appliances and monitoring to achieve a nearly net zero energy home. This impressive project pushed the envelope and received due praise and recognition from leading local publications.
Mr. Levinson is the founder and managing director of Small World Group, a venture capital fund focused on Clean Tech and Green Investing. Prior to this, he was the founder, CTO and chairman of Finisar Corporation. He also sits as a judge for the California Clean Tech Open Business Plan Competition.
Mr. Levinson is dedicated to environmental responsibility, which he practices both at home and professionally, pioneering Green Technologies of the future. Sun First! is proud to have worked with Frank on realizing his vision.
The Sun First! fellows were very hands on, as we considered different options they clearly had great working knowledge that helped us make good choices. Our Tiburon home showed me how this area is particularly great for solar energy. We cut our natural gas usage by more than 90% and we now show an electrical surplus of 3000 KW-hrs each of the last 2 years. I cannot recommend the Sun First group highly enough.

TDS Co-Editor William Galston: How George Will Misunderstands Both Elizabeth Warren and Liberalism
This item by TDS Co-Editor William Galston is cross-posted from The New Republic.
George Will and I have something in common: We were both trained in the close reading of political texts. Will recently applied his interpretive skills to a statement by Elizabeth Warren, who is running for the Democratic senatorial nomination in Massachusetts. Here is what Warren said:
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there--good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. ... You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea--God bless, keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is [that] you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
After applying to Warren's words William F. Buckley's description of John Kenneth Galbraith--a pyromaniac in a field of straw men, refuting propositions no one asserts--Will moves to the gravamen of his argument: Warren's vision entails a collectivist political agenda. He tartly and uncharitably described that agenda as follows:
[Its] premise is that individual is a chimera, that any individual's achievements should be considered entirely derivative from society, so that the achievements need not be treated as belonging to the individual. Society is entitled to socialize--i.e., conscript--whatever portion it considers its share. It may, as an optional act of grace, allow the individual the remainder of what is misleadingly called the individual's possession.
I have never met Warren. For all I know she may privately embrace the premise Will sketches. But even a cursory inspection of her public words reveals that she is saying nothing of the sort. Rather, she is making a straightforward argument. Without the enabling framework that only government can create, individuals cannot securely enjoy the fruits of their endeavors. Every return on investment, then, is actually a return on two sources of investment, one reflecting individual choice, the other public decisions. Taxation is not theft; nor is it, as the late philosopher Robert Nozick once put it, "on a par with forced labor." Rather, it reflects the return on the public investment to which nearly everyone contributes. It does not rest on the claim that all resources are collective and that individuals receive what is theirs as an act of grace, but rather on the more modest claim that we all owe something in return for the collective goods without which our individual striving cannot succeed.
And Warren is saying something else as well--that (to quote a thinker with whom Will has more than a passing acquaintance), "Society is indeed a contract ... a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born." Warren's homely phrase, "pay forward," captures the moral bond that connects this generation with the next. If we don't adequately provide for their future, we are breaking that bond. A decent political community has the right--indeed the obligation--to honor that bond--if necessary, by compelling individuals who refuse to look beyond their own immediate concerns to contribute their share to the common future.
To be sure, these general arguments don't come close to settling the question of who should pay how much in taxes. That's what elections and political contestation are about. But they do establish a sturdy foundation for the idea that individual choice does not create all our obligations and there is nothing in principle objectionable when society presents its bill to each of us. I hope that is one of the straw men that Will (unlike some of his less tutored conservative brethren) never intended to deny.
Not content to accuse Warren of collectivism, he proceeds to accuse her of determinism, or at least to tar her of that sin by guilty association. Warren's statement, he contends, is a "footnote to modern liberalism's more comprehensive disparagement of individualism and the reality of individual autonomy. A particular liberalism, partly incubated at Harvard, intimates the impossibility, for most people, of self-government--of the ability to govern oneself." This premise--public incompetence--is said to warrant a "tutelary government" that owes "minimal deference to people's preferences."
As Will might say, Well. Let us set aside Galbraith, John Rawls, and the bedraggled remnant band of Marxists clinging to the doctrine of false consciousness, none of whose views can be fairly be imputed to Elizabeth Warren. As I understand it, her case for reasonable regulation does not ignore, but rather reflects, people's preferences. We don't want to be misled or cheated, but the complexity of modern contractual arrangements can baffle even the most educated among us. So we collectively opt for a framework that protects us against those who have more time and expertise to devise deceptions than we do to ferret them out. No, government shouldn't make our choices for us, and we shouldn't ask it to. But it does have a legitimate role in ensuring that the information relevant to those choices is accurate and intelligible.
Again, we can argue about the details. No doubt the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that Warren conceived and hoped to lead is imperfect in some respects, as is every human creation. If so, experience will expose its flaws, and the political process can improve it. But the claim that it rests on a necessary presupposition of individual incompetence--and worse, the denial of individual autonomy--is unfounded. And so is Will's root-and-branch dismissal of modern liberalism.

Whatever Works: Shopping Around
Thursday, July 08, 2010
I've been on my Spark People journey 2 years now. I lost 30 pounds but gained it all back until I weighed more than I had when I set out. It's a familiar story.
But I'm on the way down again now (15lbs lost: 30lbs to go.)
A few months ago, I realised I had to make dieting into a more fun project. So I decided to try out a few different diets - a week here, and a week there. See if one stuck.
I began with Atkins. Bacon and eggs, home made ice cream, mayonnaise with everything. Yum. I tested my wee for ketones as advised, using little strips I bought from the chemist. I become mildly ketonic. That was quite exciting. But I only stuck the diet for ten days, simply because it was so far from my normal way of eating. I felt I was on a tightrope the whole time, afraid to look down. There seemed a long way to fall.
Next came the Dukan, a similar diet only lower fat. Fish, meat and then more fish and meat (and especially chicken breast). I would start the day ok (with a kipper) but by the time the evening meal arrived, I would be nauseous and headachey. One evening I looked at the sirloin steak on my plate and felt sad that an animal had died to provide me with a meal that turned my stomach. I had to stop.
Also, despite a month on Atkins/Dukan, I'd only lost 4 lbs. I'd be pleased with that in normal circumstances, but the nausea and headaches seemed too high a price to pay.
Cutting carbs still seemed a good idea. I remembered a review I'd read on Amazon before ordering the Dukan book. It was for the Carb Addicts diet. It seemed to chime with the GI Diet, another blast from the past, and a diet my mother had used to talk about. I ordered it.
While I was waiting it to arrive I picked up another book in a charity shop, The Zone, thinking it could plug the gap until Carb Addicts arrived. An SP friend has always sworn by it, but I'd been put off by its technical sounding instructions.
That was three weeks ago. Although Carb Addicts has now arrived and been read, I've put it 'behind my ear' for later because The Zone has grown and grown on me.
Barry Sears' programme is out of fashion these days, but it works on the principle of eating a little more protein and fat than most dieters are used to and a lot fewer carbs. It isn't extreme. And yet I rarely feel hungry and the cravings for bread and cakes are gone. And In the first fortnight I've lost 2lbs a week - a miracle for someone in the menopause, who has been dieting on and off for 40 years. I'm able to eat my beloved fruit and veg (ok, not all of them - bananas and potatoes are frowned on) and have a small glass of wine and a piece of cheese as a snack.
So I think I'll stick with it for now.
As a dieter, I've often been a little cowed, a little prone to thinking it's my fault if a diet doesn't work. But this has made me think - perhaps it's worth shopping around for a regime that really really suits us.
It's early days. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks for dropping by, Hiphap and Kipper! It's great to have your comments.
Those Zone bars sound yummy, and I wish we could get them here in the UK. We can get Atkins bars though, andI have been eating half a Myoplex (body builders' bar) in an emergency, having spent time in the health food shop peering at the tiny writing on all the snacks to find one with the correct protein/carb balance.

Hi Liz
Really good to hear from you. Oh, yes - strawberries and raspberries! W've got blackcurrants and redcurrants on our allotment - I couldn't bear not to eat those. I suffered on the Dukan, but my sister-in-law lost nearly a stone in a fortnight and loves it. It's horses for courses! As you say, let's keep in touch - I'd love to know how you get on with the Zone.

I must be the only person who never lost anything on the Atkins diet! I'm trying the Dukan but like you I love fruit, especially at this time of the year when we've got raspberries and strawberries in the garden. I've heard others talking about The Zone so perhaps it would be better for me too, am going to check it out - something must "click" sooner or later!
Keep in touch and let me know how you're going on.

Fall is just around the corner, and judging by the newest H&M campaign starring Ford Men's Paolo it's going to be dark and monochromatic. With slicked back hair and even slicker tailoring, Paolo dons black and gray pieces that are an amalgamation of the best street style blogs. The overall feeling may be moody, but the outcome is anything but bleak.

TEMPE, Ariz. -
Arizona State Sun Devil Baseball will be naming an All-Decade Team for the 2000's. The 25-man roster is made up of players who played at least two seasons at Arizona State and who played in the past decade.
Zechry Zinicola, PITCHER/UTILITY, 2004-2006

New Jersey Might Embarrass New York Next Week
Oh, and grant gay couples the right to marry.
Despite some recent dithering, New Jersey will hold a vote on same-sex marriage next Thursday, according to State Senator Ray Lesniak. It's still unclear whether the legislation can pass, however. "We're counting votes," says Steve Goldstein, executive director of Garden State Equality. "We're not there yet in one of the houses but things have changed dramatically in the last 48 hours where the momentum has shifted our way." How would a huge defeat for same-sex marriage on Wednesday create momentum for the bill's prospects, and not against them? Maybe it's the irresistible opportunity to show New York what a progressive Northeast state with balls looks like.

Hi everyone, I really hope I don't get blasted for this, but I'm really struggling with the c-section that is lurking over my head. I found out last week at 36 weeks that baby is breech and unless she flips, I'll have a c/s. I've been trying everything to flip her and i know she can up until the last second, but frankly, i think she is stuck. I know people have c/s every day, but the idea of having a c/s is really taking the joy out of the whole birthing experience for me. I feel like it's like going to the store to pick up a baby, rather that actually birthing my own child. I'm so sorry if that offends anyone, but just for me...it feels like it's not what is supposed to happen. I don't know if that even makes sense. i think i feel this way because my mom is so surgery happy it's ridiculous. she won't take care of her own health at all because she thinks she can fix any damage she does to her body with surgery later on. when i told her of all the natural remedies i've been trying to flip the baby, she said "stop it and just give into the surgery" :( I know that at the end of the day, the important thing is that she gets her healthy and she'll be in my arms...but really i'm not at all excited about it like i was when i thought i'd be delivering vaginally.
I'm not a martyr at all, don't enjoy pain (and had an epi and all), it's just that I had such a wonderful birth experience with my odd, i was just really hoping for a similar situation with this one, and of course I just feel like she's gonna get cheated out of the benefits of natural childbirth. I know c/s are done ALL THE TIME with no issues, etc....I just worry. my main depression is that I won't be able to give her the skin to skin time that she deserves immediately after she's born. My ODD NEVER cried and I really think it was due to that skin to skin time.
i dunno, i'm just depressed.

I have friends who live with cancer, and some who have not survived that journey. I originally joined the Walk to show my support for my friend and godmother, whose breast cancer had recurred . I felt so helpless at her news, so unable to do anything that would mean much to her. Then I hit on the idea of walking, and soon I was receiving donations from many people in her circle of friends. We both found encouragement and excitement as the donor dollars increased, and as friends far and wide contributed to support us. That year, Peggy walked across the finish line with me, and the symbolism and happiness of that moment is something I will treasure always.
Research and treatment advances in breast cancer have informed treatments for other cancers, too, and when I walk, I remember a dear friend whose life was cut short by pancreatic cancer. This year, I'm thinking too of my father, whose bout with a rare cancer nearly killed him, but who now appears to be on a path to cancer-free recovery.
I am walking for the women and families I don't know, too, the ones who go through the draining treatment protocols of radiation and chemotherapy and surgery, who endure each day with hope and confidence that they will recover; as one of my friends, a survivor, put it: The disease claimed me, but I did not claim it. For all the women laying claim to the future—and for my daughters and theirs, who are part of it—I walk. My 39-mile journey, which will feature all kinds of snacks and entertainment and cheering along the way, is short in comparison.

So we all know how I feel about dental care. I've talked about it a thousand times. So much so that I should probably start a dental care blog. Okay, I'm kidding but you get my drift. I'm pretty serious about dental health and keeping those teeth of mine white so I'm raising my little babe to be the same way. Here's to hoping that she won't ever get a cavity until she's at least in her 20's. A mama can dream, right? While you know the hippie girl in me is all about trying to find natural alternatives to just about everythiiiiiing, one conventional product that I don't mind using is toothpaste. I've been rockin' with Colgate for many years and when I got the opportunity to test drive their Optic White Toothbrush + Built-In Whitening Pen, I was all on board. And a little nervous, too. I suffer from sensitivity issues when I've used whitening products, namely the strips. I felt a little bit better knowing that the product didn't have to sit on my teeth for minutes or hours at a time. In fact using it is as simple as, well…brushing your teeth. [Read more…]
Life is Better – Thanks to Cotton Candy Grapes
Yes, this blog post is about grapes. I realize you're probably somewhere laughing at me and I'm totally okay with that. If you told me that at 30 years old, I'd be an accomplished blogger who writes about mascaras and grapes, I too, would have laughed. But seriously, you've gotta open up your horizons a little bit and experience the wonderment that are cotton candy grapes.
They're exactly what they sound like. Grapes that taste like cotton candy. I first heard about them on Buzzfeed and while intrigued, I figured they were just some funky fruits that those crazy kids in Cali were playing around with. I thought they were a California-exclusive thing and I figured I'd never seen them in my hood.
Until I saw them in my hood.
Girlfriend Time and Summer Cocktails with Alizé Passion
Allow me to preface this sponsored post by letting you know that yours truly did not indulge in the alcoholic beverages that you will see in this post. Yes, I know. It's sad. I've put together these gorgeous drinks just to miss out on the opportunity to guzzle them. Don't feel too badly for me because you better believe after giving birth, I'll be toasting with a drank of…something. 😎
I'm not a big drinker (remind me to tell you about that time in college…) but I have a few girlfriends who love getting cocktails and fancy drinks. In honor of life…I decided to host a little get together with two of my gal pals with Alizé Passion drinks being the star of the show. This was no easy undertaking, y'all because I've never put together a drink in my life. It could not have been easier and based off of everyone's expressions, I'm guessing I did it right. Woohoo!

Fa la la la laaaaa to back to school season. Not gonna lie, y'all – I'm happy we aren't there yet because WOW, it seems like a stressful time for parents and kiddos alike. But I remember this season when I was growing up and the best part about summer ending and school starting back up was shopping! Picking out a slew of brand new clothes and shoes was the total highlight for us. Brand new kicks, tops, backpacks and markers? Oh yesss…we thought we were living the life. Through Mom Central, I got the opportunity to style EB with back to school outfits that she handpicked herself from Carter's. Our little lady has a pretty groovy style profile at only 2 years old and I can't wait to see how she continues to experiment with fashion.

Best Buy Gift Giving Made Easier – Techies Unite!
This sponsored post is brought to you by Best Buy.
As you fine people know, I am about all things tech. I've been this way since I got my first Palm Pilot when I was 10 years old. The obsession didn't end and I also married a man who loves tech, too. Between the both of us, we always feel like we have to have the latest and greatest in the tech world. Within reason, of course. Techie parents raising a techie kid means that Elle is more familiar with using a iPad to call a relative than she is with using a standard phone. I'm not sure if I should be proud or disturbed. Ha!
With baby girl's birthday coming up, mama's business going to different levels and the holidays rolling around, I've got my eye on techie gadgets now more than ever. Somehow, I managed to move about 3 minutes away from a Best Buy so when I'm not caught casually staring at techie things, you can find me on BestBuy.com adding items to my Wish List. Oh, you didn't know their site had a Wish List Maker? Where have you been, babe?

The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare
The Taming of the Shrew Act 4, Scene 2 Summary
- Back in Padua, outside of Baptista's house, Tranio (as Lucentio) and Hortensio (as Licio) spy on Bianca and Lucentio (as Cambio) as the pair flirt with each other.
- Hortensio thinks Bianca is acting improper, so he takes off his disguise.
- Tranio (as Lucentio) gets Hortensio to agree to give up his suit for Bianca and they both swear to each other that they will never marry her. Before he runs off, Hortensio says he's going to marry the rich Widow.
- Tranio, Lucentio, and Bianca get together and laugh at how they got rid of Hortensio so Bianca and Lucentio can run off to Vegas and get married. Tranio says that Hortensio has gone to Petruchio's "taming school" to learn how to tame his future wife, the Widow.
- Biondello rushes in and says that he found the perfect guy to play the role of Lucentio's dad.
- The Pedant (meaning "teacher" in Italian, though it's not clear what his occupation is) arrives and says he's come from Mantua.
- Tranio (as Lucentio) lies and says the Pedant is up a creek without a paddle because the Duke of Padua executes all citizens of Mantua if they come within city limits. But, Tranio (as Lucentio) will help him out and let him pretend to be his father so he won't be harmed.
- The grateful Pedant agrees to meet with Baptista and says he will negotiate Lucentio's wedding dowry as if he were Lucentio's real father.

Caring, Compassion, Community. These three words come to mind for Crittenton physicians. Every day, our Crittenton physicians stand ready for those in our community in a time of need. Their skills save lives, and their compassionate care makes a difference for patients and families.
Recently, the husband of a Crittenton patient honored their physician with a donation to the Foundation. They had never been to Crittenton, until his wife had a seizure at a nearby restaurant. Frantic and scared, they were rushed to our facility. Not only was he "blown away" by the treatment his wife received, but also by the way he was cared for as a family member. These stories are regular occurrences at Crittenton because of our physicians and healthcare team—stories of caring, compassion, and community.
On March 30th, Crittenton is celebrating National Doctor's Day; a day to recognize the contributions of doctors to individual lives in our community. On behalf of the all the individuals and families impacted by our physicians, we thank you for making a difference in the lives of others.
We invite you to join us in expressing gratitude by writing a letter or making a donation to the Crittenton Foundation in honor of your physician. You can do so by sending a note of gratitude to the Crittenton Foundation, 1101 W. University Drive, Rochester, MI 48307. Please indicate who you would like to recognize for the outstanding care they have provided you or your family. Remembering that not all heroes wear capes, we invite you to read amazing stories from patients, donors, physicians and community members on our website, www.crittenton.com/foundation/our-stories/.

Update on the Patagonia Sustainable Trails Project in Los Glaciares National Park
First, however, the team, composed of several American trail experts, led a nine-day field-work seminar in late October with 17 park rangers from various national parks across Argentinean Patagonia. Over the course of 76+ hours in the field, the rangers learned techniques for mitigating and stopping erosion, including steps, drainage, and causeways. Despite some initial difficulties due to the language barrier, the course was a major success, and similar efforts likely will be made in the future.
[Students, instructors and finished work at the end of the trail restoration course. All photos courtesy of Rolando Garibotti]
Once the trail course ended, work resumed on the heavily damaged Laguna de los Tres trail, the approach trail to access Cerro Fitz Roy. Because of poor weather, work was also done on the lower-elevation trails leading to Rio Blanco camp and up the Cerro Torre valley. About 2,000 man hours of trail work were completed. During the first work cycle in late 2008 (see video below), about 2,600 man hours of trail work were completed.
[Nick Gillespie and Enrique Hernandez during a nine-day trail restoration course.]
[Marcos Mendoza working in the Laguna de los Tres Trail.]
In his report on the 2009 work, Garibotti said the project is having a much broader impact than new water bars and steps. "Our work, including the trail course, is inspiring some land managers to follow a much more deliberate approach toward trail building and maintenance," he wrote. "One clear example of the above is that since January 2010 the northern area of Los Glaciares National Park has its own trail crew. As an initial experiment, the park decided to commit five salaries for four months to the trails. It is the first time in the Patagonian parks that several people are specifically assigned to trail work."
[Cullen Kirk, Nick Gillespie and Juanjo Landucci working near the Rio Blanco camp.]
[Sample of finished work.]
The project will continue until 2011. There is much more to this innovative international effort than can be described in a short article, and you can read Garibotti's full report here. The video below offers a great summary of the first year of the project in 2008.
[Video: "Rolando Garibotti Patagonia Sustainable Trails Project, Los Glaciares National Park" via YouTube.]
Special thanks go to all the project's volunteers: Jorge Ackermann, Tomy Aguilo, James Bouknight, Nick Guillespie, Cullen Kirk, Juanjo Landucci, Ben Logan, Mark Loseth, Max Ludington, Leo Martinez, Marcos Mendoza, Diego Oyarzun and Mati Villavicencio.

Manage By Walking Around is one of the more established members of our PPM blogosphere, having premiered in July 2006. The weekly-updated blog is run by Jonathan D. Becher, an active participant in the performance management community, a frequent speaker at industry conferences, and a published author on a multitude of subjects.
"A primary goal of my blog is to provide information about performance management in a vendor-neutral way," Jonathan says. "The inspiration for the title of the blog, Manage By Walking Around, can be found in the inaugural post. Because the term performance management gets bandied around by many different people to describe many different things, in some of my earlier posts ("Operational, Financial or IT" and "What's In A Name") I try to disambiguate the different uses, but in reality confusion still reigns in the market. Perhaps it's a small consolation that continued confusion means continued reading of this blog…"
An EVP of both Enterprise Solution Marketing and Global Field Marketing at SAP, Jonathan is responsible for championing SAP's strategy of helping organizations close the gap between strategy and execution so that they can optimize business performance.
"Manage By Walking Around focuses on how to systematically improve performance in an organization, using a combination of management style, strategy, processes, and technology," he says. "In terms of motivation to blog, my not-so-secret passion is writing. I write on a variety of technical and non-technical topics, including fiction. This is an outlet to express myself."
He says his audience is "primarily performance management enthusiasts but anyone interested in general management will also be interested." In terms of his credentials, Jonathan has held a variety of CEO and other senior management roles for SAP, Pilot Software, Accrue Software, NeoVista Software and MasPar Computer Corporation. He earned his B.S. in computer engineering from the University of Virginia, and an M.S. in computer science from Duke University.
Jonathan says that if you don't count a Dilbert comic he once ran, the most read post is

Are TESDA Graduates Half-Baked? (Need for Licensing for our Skilled Workers)
"TESDA Graduates are half-baked." For me, these words are a red flag that means something is amiss. My curiosity as to why Mr. Tony Galvez, CEO & President of Tony Galvez School of Cosmetology, can give such a strong statement about TESDA graduates led me to stay and listen to what he has to say about TVET with an open mind.
However, first let's answer the question, "what makes a technical-vocational education (TVET) graduate "fully baked?" Mr. Galvez showed me this Philippine Qualifications framework (PQF) to explain his point.
What does this PQF mean to TVET?
100 Things About CT (Cognitive Therapy) a Special Education Teacher Must Know (Part 1)
I am reading this really interesting book about Cognitive Therapy: 100 Key Points & Techniques and I want to share them to all of you. It will be a summary of the keypoints which I find most useful to me as a special education teacher.
First, let's start with some key definitions.
What is cognitive therapy?
It is an approach within the cognitive behavior therapy that seeks to improve how a person is feeling by helping them identify, examine and modify their thinking that is causing them anxiety, sorrow or pain.
Brief History
Cognitive Therapy was developed by Aaron T. Beck, an American psychiatrist, at the University of Pennsylvania in the early 1960s. This approach initially focused on the treatment for depression but CT appears to be applicable also in different disorders including phobia, anxiety, substance abuse, personality disorder, OCD, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. It can also be used for adolescents and older people.
Here is the first 11 Keypoints listed in Michael Neenan and Windy Dryden's book "Cognitive Therapy: 100 Keypoints & Techniques".
The Use of ICT in Inclusive Education by @rmafoundation awardee, Mr. Mahabir Pun
Last Monday, several people gathered at Ramon Magsaysay Foundation to listen to Mr. Mahabir Pun talk about the use of ICT in inclusive education. He also narrated his experiences and challenges as the "Father of Internet in Nepal".
As an educator, when I listen to inspiring speakers share about their life, I always look at how I can use what I learned from the talk in connection to providing quality education for all. My guide questions are "what should I take in from this experience?" and "how would my life be different from it was before after this talk?". It didn't dawn on me until the very end what inclusive education meant in a broader perspective. That proved to be my major blunder.
Only after the actual talk did I I realize I have been limited by my own knowledge. How? Why? These are my reasons:

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION Requirements:
List of Developmental Pediatricians in the Philippines
You are probably in this page because you are looking for assessment for your child who is at risk or your pediatrician encouraged you to seek a professional's opinion.
Dr. Banaag – Father of Child Psychiatry here in the Philippines
Below is a list of developmental pediatricians and psychiatrists in the Philippines who can help you learn more about your child's special needs.
Before we go to the list, I think its important that we define these professions here:
Developmental pediatricians are physicians (doctors) who address special needs or special care issues for children with special needs. Sometimes they are called neuro-developmental pediatrician.
Psychiatrists are medical practitioners specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. They are doctors.
Clinical psychologists are psychotherapists or a therapist who deals with mental and emotional disorders. They are not medical doctors like the first two but they can get a doctorate degree in their profession.
Special Education Diagnosticians are specialists or experts in making diagnoses. They can be medical doctors or veteran practitioners in their field.

James Edward Hanger designed and created a device that was destined to transform the lives of thousands of people world wide.
James was born in 1843 and grew up on his family's plantation in Churchville VA. At the outbreak of Civil War, he was studying engineering at Washington College in Lexington, Virginia, which today is known as Washington and Lee. Hearing about his brothers and cousins enlisting to join the Confederate troops and with the encouragement of his mother, James decided to leave college and enlist, with the Churchville Cavalry under the command of Captain Franklin Sterrett.
The Churchville Cavalry, was stationed at Philippi Virginia, (West Virginia). On a stormy June 2nd night in 1861, James Confederate commanders had received word of a possible Union Army attack, but they believed the attack would not happen at night during such awful weather conditions. His commanders ordered the troops to bed down for the night in tents and local barns without posting lookouts.
Before dawn on June 3rd the Union columns arrived near Philippi. James Hanger and his Confederate comrades were quickly roused from their slumber hearing the Union troops gun and cannon fire which signaled the beginning of one of the first land battles of the Civil War, the Battle of Philippi.
According to James, the Churchville Cavalry was spending the night in one of the local barns when the first two rounds were directed at their Cavalry Camps. The third round was a 6 pound solid shot aimed at a stable in which the Churchville Cavalry Company had slept. Unfortunately the six pound solid shot ricochet and stuck James just below the knee, severely tearing the flesh from his leg. His injury was so serious that he had no choice but to hide in the barn during the battle until he could get proper medical care.
Four hours later, looking for plunder, the Union troops entered the barn where James was hiding . It did not take the Union Troops long to discovered an injured James. He was captured and taken to Dr. James D. Robinson of the 16th Ohio Volunteers. In order to save his life, Dr. Robinson had to amputate James leg seven inches below the hip. Less than two days after joining the Churchville Cavalry, James E. Hanger would be one of the first amputees to join the estimated 200,000 men to have their limbs amputated during the Civil War.
Once James had recuperated from his excruciating amputation he was sent to Camp Chase in Ohio as a prisoner of war. In August of 1861 James E. Hanger was part of a prisoner exchange and was returned to his family home in Churchville, Virginia. He was sent home walking in an painful ill fitting above-knee wooden peg leg prosthesis. Once home, he asked his family to leave him alone. His family thought he was locked up in his room suffering from depression from the loss of his leg, but instead, James was busy constructing the world's first double-jointed, self-articulating prosthetic knee.
James created his a new prosthetic limb carved from barrel staves with added metal parts for strength and articulation. His design used rubber bumpers and hinges at both the knee and foot which gave the wearer a better, less painful fit. This design made for a more natural way of walking for the wearer. Once he had finished his new prosthetic, he shocked his family members by walking down the stairs from the room in which he had been holed up in for months sporting his newly created prosthetic limb. He was quoted as saying:
"Today I am thankful for what seemed then to me nothing but a blunder of fate, but which was to prove instead a great opportunity,"
And what an opportunity it was for him to help amputees throughout the world. By December of 1861 he had established the J. E. Hanger Company in Richmond, Virginia, to manufacture his "Hanger Limb". He was then granted by the Confederate government on March 23rd 1863 a patent and commission producing his prosthesis to assist the disabled veterans. And by the time of his death in June 1919, the J.E. Hanger Company had branches in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, London, and Paris.
The Hanger Orthopedic Group, remains a market leader today in the manufacturing of prosthetic and orthotic products and patient care services.

Every Thursday, GoStanford.com will present an interview with a Stanford women's gymnastics alumna. This week, sophomore Maggie Teets features Beth Laughlin ('88), who competed in the all around and earned a degree in psychology.
Maggie: Can you describe what you have been doing since graduating from Stanford?
Beth: Well it's been a little while! I'll give you the summary version. After graduating with a degree in psychology, I went on to complete my masters in counseling. Basically since I left, I've been working in the therapeutic industry supporting kids through their struggles. I work in the emotional-behavioral side of psychology. I've lived in Japan and Costa Rica helping start therapeutic boarding schools, which has been an amazing experience. Currently, I am working at a business that I started that helps kids transition home following treatment. We provide a therapeutic help for parents, as well as a mentor for the adolescents. It's a 90-day bridge program that helps with the transition. So I've really enjoyed my work.
Maggie: What lessons have you carried with you from your experience on the Stanford gymnastics team?
Beth: I think the discipline, work ethic and focus required for gymnastics has applied to my work and life in general. It has taught me to be determined and perseverant for the things I want. Some people say that I really sacrificed being a "novel teenager," but never felt that. I also love to travel, which is something that I took with me from gymnastics.
Maggie: What are your favorite Stanford memories outside of gymnastics?
Beth: It's been such a long time. I'm pulling cobwebs [laughs]. I enjoyed the football games and living in Branner. Being a Brannerite was something very special. I made some great friends; friends that have stayed with me 20 plus years later. The relationships are very important, and something that I carry with me. The education was great, but what I walked away with were the social experience and relationships that continued after college.
Maggie: What is your favorite place on campus:
Beth: Oh the Quad. Especially at night with the lights shining up on church; it was beautiful. Senior year I lived in Sweets, and I really enjoyed that too.
Maggie: What was your favorite class?
Beth: I did a summer semester my junior year and took a social psychology course. It had only 10 students, so there was great dialogue and material. No statistics. I did not like anything with math.
Maggie: Do you have any advice for the girls on the SWG team now?
Beth: Enjoy the experience of being on the team and the automatic community that forms because of all the time spent training and traveling. Have fun with them. Also, find that balance of doing your sport and the college experience. You're so young, it's hard to take advantage, but I encourage you to really appreciate the experience.

Joe Nathan coming home, indeed. For the Twins' 2011 Target Field opener, they pretty much sleepwlked through seven innings at the plate. Luckily, Carl Pavano was dominating, setting down Oakland A after Oakland A. Then, in the eighth, Danny Valencia's infield single was followed by hits from three lefties (Kubel, Span, Mauer) to scratch two runs across.
As this was occuring on the field, Joe Nathan was quickly warming in the pen, anticipating his first Target Field save situation. When those gates opened and "Stand up and Shout" played over the loudspeakers, it was clear that Mr. Nathan was "Home" at last.
For whatever reason, Joe Nathan is a favorite Twin of mine (just look at the name of this blog). He's easily the greatest closer the team has ever had, and there's just something about a save situation that gets me pumped. Besides Cuddy gunning a runner, Span slapping a triple, or Thome blasting off, there isn't anything that will get me on my feet faster than a closer coming into a game to get those final three outs.
I also admire Nathan's grit and determination. He started off as a struggling SS with the Giants, then came over here with Liriano and Boof Bonser in the A.J. Pierzynski trade (thanks again, A.J.!) as a so-so reliever. We gave him Eddie G's closing role, and he never missed a beat.
If the weather holds out, I may be attending the game either today or Sunday, and I would like nothing more than to see Nathan return to domination in person!
Preview (3-4, T-4, 2.0 GB CLE): Gio Gonzalez (1-0, 1.29) vs. Nick Blackburn (1-0, 1.50).

Skip to comments.Create you own Recycling program to throw off the metal detectors just in case.
Posted on 04/22/2010 11:05:37 AM PDT by Voice of Reason88
In honour of Earth Day we Conservatives should create our own kind of 'Recycling' Program to save and disperse any metal we throw out.
Considering that once the DNC the Democratic National Communists gets through with trashing the Constitution with regards to the First Amendment, you can bet dollars to donuts that the next step will be to try and disarm the law-abiding.
Towards that end, we should all be considering How we can at least safeguard some of our firearms.
Step one would of course be building or obtaining a waterproof container that can be hidden away. Some vendors at guns shows have been selling elongated metal boxes with rubber seals. Clearly some manufacturers are already anticipating a need for such a product.
You could use a commercial made container or perhaps some plastic pipe big enough to hold what you need to be held and sealed on one end with an end cap. Fit the other end with a threaded fitting that will accept a threaded plug that can readily seal the other end.
Stash it underground or make it look like a fence post, it's your choice.
Step two would be making sure it won't be too easy to find your hardware that's were your own metal recyclable program comes into play. Save any metal containers from the kitchen Pie tins, foil, etc. Anything metallic. Save some brass on your trips to the range to practice it's a non-ferrous metal and as a bonus it will have the scent of propellants for any canine searchers.
As Sun Tzu once said: "Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." Our 'Rulers' should know that if they try to disarm the law-abiding, they aren't going to be entirely successful, that should make them stop and think about it all before trying to do that in the first place.
If it's time to bury them, it's time to dig them up.
In 1994 before the elections and the great American sigh of relief, the gun mags all had ads for gun storage kits that were sections of mostly 8 inch plastic pipe and caps and glue.They sold a lot of them and Scotty's sold a lot of 8" plastic pipe to individuals who felt they could make their own. A lot of property outside of town was bought for a similar reason.
Yes, I've heard that, but my concept is to have an extra set Stashed Away as an insurance policy.
I'm not saying that you bury All of your guns just some of them.
Old steel nails were essentially mulched into my lawn by the asshats who tore off my roof.
I tried to use a metal detector and/or big magnet to find them and then just put St. Augustine on top.
Yes, that's part of my rationale I'm just extending it a little further by making it clear that it won't be that easy for the gun grabbers to just show up with a metal detector and a brace of bloodhounds.
I've also considered setting up the scrap in a specific pattern in case you need a hole dug some where like for a new pool or an addition to your house.
That way if they show up with a metal detector and a backhoe, you can at least get them to dig something useful, but it might be hard to arrange that kind of thing, so I may be getting a little ahead of myself.
A couple of months ago there was a long thread on this by some that had tried it and dug up the guns a year later. You have to be sure that condensation doesn't get into the case and make ammo useless or rust the gun....Don't remember what was used but something to take into consideration when preparing to bury....
Mine will be easy to find if they come looking for them. I'll be holding them in my hands.
There was a GREAT thread here on FR years ago about exactly how to do what you're suggesting.
I thought I had it saved on my profile page, but I can't find it.
If they show up why not just shoot them !
That's the ticket !
Does it make better tactical sense to shoot at them, or to let them certify you "gun-free" having missed the arsenal under the sewer pipe? Think about it...
Unless your organized, all the weapons in the world won't matter.
You mean you aren't organized yet?
Surrounded by idiots . Waitin' for Ludwig Beck.
Ah, yes. Well, if you look at the forest hard enough, you may be able to see some trees...the smart ones are trying to blend in. Some of those "idiots' just might surprise you.
Just put a couple of fake "ducts" in your attic and hide the stuff in there.
Same here.
Hey, I'm liking that idea.
Anything elongated can be made to hold a long gun Fence posts, Walls, Fake iron sewage pipe in your basement, the list is endless.
Reserves, man, reserves.
You bury the off-paper stuff you own (you DO have off paper guns, don't you?), and if "they" ever come to your house with a list, give them what they want and live to see the sun rise the next day. A week or two later, go wherever you buried to off paper stuff (with ammo, reloading dies, etc. that are particular to that gun) and, viola, you are once again armed.
I'd love to see most gun owners sell their guns, off paper, to other gun owners. That'd cut the heart out of the BATF attempt to compile a database. The fun thing is that they'd have to waste a lot of resources before they figured it out. It would, of course, have to be done carefully - if you sell a bunch of guns for a profit, the BATF can claim that you're operating as a dealer and toss you in jail (if they don't shoot you and stomp your cat while delivering the fraudulently-acquired warrant, that is).
This is ALL about f'g with their minds. To quote the article:
"As Sun Tzu once said: "Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." "
Don't do anything like that in your home or on the property on which your home sits (unless it sits on 50+ acres) - "they" have some very sophisticated metal detectors, and they will either rip your entire house apart or dig up your entire yard with a front-end loader if you're on a list.
Please, guys, use the wetware a bit.
Spot on correct. Amen.

"Even though I can be a bashful prude around you, you want to stay?"
Alriana smiled through the tears that were now freely flowing from her face. "I think that we can work on that when the time comes. But for no-," Alriana was interupted as her comnlink beeped indicating that someone was trying to contact her.
"Jedi Alriana, this is Belina on the bridge. There's something we need you to see as soon as possible. And find Tavaryn and bring him up here as well. I think this concerns everyone aboard the Ackbar in some way."
Alriana looked up at Tavaryn and motioned for him to lead the way. "This can't be good." She said as she wiped the tears away.
Belina put her comnlin away as a control started flashing. She frowned as she looked at it. It was signaling that the incoming transmission was of the highest priority.
"It looks like we'll have to recored the transmission and show them later." She said as she hit the accept button.
"Attention Admiral Belina, this is Giron on Coruscant! I don't think that I have much time left before I'm either captured or killed. The Republic looks like it's going to end up allying with the Undying sith empire and it looks like they want to keep the information from going to the public for now."
Belina could hear blaster shots getting louder and louder but despite what was going on Giron continued giving his report.
"I think this is going to be my final transmission. I managed to get away from my pursuers a few minutes ago but it looks like they managed to find me. I don't have any other information but I feel I must warn you to be cautious in the future."
Belina was about to respond when she heard a blaster shot and the screen went black.
She looked over at Jun-la and then brought her hand down on the console with a good amount of force and than looked over at Garja. "Get me a communications link to Coruscant

SR/CBB: Box Score For Every NCAA Tournament Game
Today I am pleased to announce that College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com now has a box score for every game played in NCAA tournament history. Here are a few examples:
- North Carolina defeats Wilt and Kansas in Triple OT
- Valvano leads NC State to upset of heavily-favored Houston
- Hill to Laettner!
These box scores are not complete, as there are many instances where certain statistics are missing, but we will do our best to fill in the blanks as we find other sources.
For now you can access these box scores from the NCAA Tournament brackets in the Postseason section, but I am working on integrating this information into other areas of the site.
