Elise Loehnen Named Beso.Com Editor-in-Chief
Tuesday, September 20, 2011
Elise Loehnen, an acclaimed "shopping journalist" through her 2004-2011 stint at Lucky, is the new editor-in-chief of Beso.com. The two-year-old site gives users access to products from thousands of stores, big and small, and, per comScore, attracted more than 3.6 million unique visitors in August 2011.
The Los Angeles-based Beso is a unit of Shopzilla Inc., which operates shopping sites in the U.S., U.K., France and Germany.
Loehnen was New York-based at Lucky where she rose from shopping news editor to--when she left earlier this year--deputy editor under editor-in-chief (since Sept. 2010) Brandon Holley. Loehnen appeared regularly on Today in the How to Shop segment and is coauthor of two books: Lauren Conrad Style (HarperCollins/2010) and, with designer Celerie Kemble, Black and White (and a Bit in Between). Release by Crown Publishing is scheduled for November 2011.

Articles About African-American culture and history :: Page 2
Do housing costs affect diversity?
If local diversity can be measured by the number of African Americans who live within the geographical boundaries of Yellow Springs, the village has experienced three decades of decreasing diversity, and is likely wrapping up a fourth. Since 1970, the village has lost about 500 African-American residents, mirroring a larger regional trend.
Village youth say race is still an issue
Yellow Springs can be a supportive town for black youth to grow up in, according to a group of 10 current Yellow Springs High School students and recent graduates in recent interviews. But the village is not immune to the issues that tend to divide the community by color and burden some African-American families disproportionately. Instances of discrimination are very subtle, and can be unintentional, but they do occur here, the youth said, and they pose obstacles both of perception and in actual practice that young people of color are challenged to overcome.
Virginia Hamilton book and award— Curating legacy of American writer
For many years after her death in 2002, the glass door to Virginia Hamilton's writing office remained closed. Every day Arnold Adoff, her husband and writing partner, passed the office at their home in Yellow Springs, but he didn't want to open it. Then in 2007 fellow children's book writer Kacy Cook helped crack the vault, and out poured 35 years of research, notes, speeches and manuscripts that formed the gritty trail of an American intellectual and her life as mother, wife and prolific writer.
Achievement gap complex, but true
When Joyce McCurdy accepted a teaching position in the Yellow Springs School District, there was a black chief of police, a black member of Council, and a black member of school board. The principal of the high school was black, and three of McCurdy's colleagues were also black — and actively involved in the social issues of the day. The year was 1965.
Diversity gap creates social divide
When Isabel Newman graduated from Bryan High School in 1943, Antioch Bookplate President Ernest Morgan hired her to work for the company. Soon after, he sent her to a six-week course at the Mergenthaler linotype school in New York, and upon her return, she worked for the company for over 40 years, retiring as a manager. At that company, whose president actively promoted racial integration, she recalled that typically a fourth of the employees were minorities. The support for a racially diverse staff appeared to be the same at Vernay Laboratories, where two of Newman's sisters worked, Yellow Springs Instruments and Antioch College, the place that bred all three companies and their socially minded leaders.
A history of racial diversity
When Robert Harris graduated from college with a degree in physics and math, he sought an engineering job in his hometown of Philadelphia. But the year was 1952, and companies weren't hiring blacks for professional positions.
Benning served village in work, life
For each of the several hundred people who attended her memorial service at Bryan Community Center on Saturday, Dec. 5, Deborah Benning meant something unique. But in all her roles as mother, step-mother, partner, friend, Village Council clerk and long-time village resident, she was consistently seen as a supportive leader and a touchstone others could depend on. She served in that way for family and friends as well as for the Village of Yellow Springs, and her death on Nov. 24 is as much a part of local history as the legacy of her family as an early part of the village's African American community.
Patterson honor: celebrating others
You could call Faith Patterson a woman with a passion for bringing people together. As a leader of the African-American Cultural Works, or ACCW, she's been pursuing that passion for more than a decade, spearheading such community-building events as Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, the recent Roots brunch, and the upcoming annual AACW Blues/Jazz Fest.
A lifetime of making a difference
On an ordinary street in town, there is an ordinary brick ranch with two ordinary maple trees planted in the front yard. But inside this ordinary house is a woman with an unordinary history. It's a personal history that reflects advances in civil rights and decolonization. It's the history of one woman with a pioneering spirit, keen leadership skills and a love of learning.
New King center director seeks arena for common ground
As the first director of the Coretta Scott King Center for Cultural and Intellectual Freedom, Dana Murray Patterson has an opportunity, she said, to make the difference she has been working toward all her life. She hopes to make the center at Antioch College a beacon for cultural common ground and to connect the campus […]

I was thinking we could fill that gap since we're going that way, and the markets are going that way.We could even fill both gaps while we're down there!
I am not mistaken and my glasses are clean and clear, my eyes fresh but not the other guy who sees $40 instead of $30.
Thanks for laser sharp eyes and thoughts.
WOW, You have 20-20 eyes.
I see $40 so long short stuff!
Have checked you eyes recently?May be you have problem with numbers 3 and 4. The number you are seeing is $30 but $40. Rub your eyes, clean your glasses and look again.

Our picks for spring's best new reads
by Susan Minot; Knopf
"To learn of another's suffering is to confront one's own shame," thinks this novel's heroine, Jane Wood, after interviewing three Ugandan girls who escaped back to their convent school after the rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army made them witness, endure and commit atrocities more twisted than the imagination can fathom. Jane has come to central Africa after the death of her addict ex-husband with a desire to be anywhere but in her life and a vague idea of writing about the abductions. But Africa—described in Minot's muscular, evocative and unflinching prose—offers itself up to Jane in all its beguiling beauty, its unremitting violence, and breaks her open like an egg. When she meets Esther Akello, whose time in captivity has left her silent and self-hating, the two recognize in each other something that needs healing, and together they create a transcendent moment (for the reader as well) in a "cracked and sad" world where "everything was lit and love happened." —Pam Houston
Click to Buy
by Mary Matalin and James Carville; Blue Rider
Opposites attract, and in the case of political sparring partners Carville (D) and Matalin (R), what they attract is curiosity. As in, how have they stood being married to each other for 20 years? In this dual memoir, they take turns cheerfully rehashing what Matalin calls "a never boring, always loving—if not always blissful—relationship." Unblissful? The excruciating 2000 Florida recount (Matalin: "He devolved into an anti-Bush Beelzebub"; Carville: "She kept howling like some GOP banshee"). On the upside—a life-changing move to post-Katrina New Orleans, where the couple teamed up to elect the mayor they both thought the city needed. If only all politics were local. —Amanda Lovell
Click to Buy
by Isabel Allende; Harper
This fast-paced novel begins with a simple premise: A group of teenagers and a grandpa play an online game in which they try to solve the case of Victorian-era serial killer Jack the Ripper. Real-life San Francisco soon presents them with a fresher task, investigating a spate of grisly murders. The key sleuth is quirky, engaging Amanda, a boarding school senior whose divorced mother is a New Age healer and the sensual catalyst for much of the action. One surprising ally: Amanda's father, the city's deputy chief of homicide, who shares details of the case with his daughter. Once this unlikely band is set in motion, Allende doesn't miss a beat, smoothly exposing the underbelly of the city and the shenanigans of its wealthy elite. You might guess the identity of the killer before the last pages, but you won't care—the shocks and unexpected twists will keep you riveted until the end. —Elaina Richardson

by Helen Oyeyemi; Riverhead Hardcover
In the 1950s, a 15-year-old girl named Boy, who is the motherless daughter of a violent rat-catcher, runs away from Manhattan to an idyllic New England town where she marries a widowed jeweler, inherits a motherless daughter named Snow, and gives birth to Bird, an unexpectedly dark-skinned girl. The book is as fantastic and unsettling as it sounds, and the narrative, like its characters, refuses to be one thing or another. It's like a fairy tale, complete with magic, mirrors and an evil stepmother. And Who's the fairest of them all? turns out to be even more about race than beauty —Catherine Newman
Click to Buy
by Kelly Corrigan; Ballentine
Kelly Corrigan's mother has always been the chilly, pragmatic foil to her doting cheerleader of a father—the glue to his glitter, as the mom herself puts it. In her funny, sparkling memoir, Corrigan, now middle-aged, recalls how at 24 she set out to look for worldly thrills and ended up finding domestic insight. In suburban Australia, as nanny to a pair of newly motherless kids, Corrigan cannot stop hearing, and listening for, her own mother's joy-killingly familiar but strangely enlightening voice. Family life ends up being an adventure—one requiring the guts, heart and common sense that (empathy alert!) her seemingly remote mother turns out to have had all along. —Catherine Newman

Versatile and Vibrant!
By Angie
from Saint Charles, MO
I love the vibrant color combination! This bag is sturdy, has strong straps, 2 zippered compartments and the third has a strong magnetic closure. All my contents feel secure. Works great for transporting my iPad without having to carry an extra bag. Fabulous for shopping and everyday use.Roomy without being bulky or heavy. High quality leather, construction and craftsmanship.It might be too colorful for some. (A good friend says it is TOO bright.) Bottom line: I love this bag. Worth the price. It will last forever.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

ERROR: RDoc documentation generator not installed: no such file to load — rdoc/rdoc
I recently setup a new server with Ruby and Rubygems however I received an error when attempting to install my first gem which happened to be ruby-lsapi. Below I explain the error including an example of the error in the output of installing a gem as well as what was done to resolve the error.
RDoc Error Installing Ruby Gem On CentOS Linux:
[root@dev rubygems-1.3.7]# gem install ruby-lsapi Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed ruby-lsapi-4.0 1 gem installed ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::DocumentError) ERROR: RDoc documentation generator not installed: no such file to load -- rdoc/rdoc [root@dev rubygems-1.3.7]#
While the gem actually installed the documentation did not so it is an issue that should be resolved in case you ever need the documentation of a gem you are installing. Resolving this problem is done by installing the ruby-rdoc package which will have a dependency of ruby-irb. As you can see below the install is quick and can be completed by Yum depending on what repositories you have installed.
Install ruby-rdoc On CentOS Linux Via Yum:

[root@dev ~]#
After installing ruby-rdoc I reinstalled the gem and this time the documentation installed without issue.
Install ruby-lsapi Gem On CentOS Linux:
[root@dev rubygems-1.3.7]# gem install ruby-lsapi Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed ruby-lsapi-4.0 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for ruby-lsapi-4.0... Installing RDoc documentation for ruby-lsapi-4.0... [root@dev rubygems-1.3.7]#
The RDoc error no longer occurs and the ruby-lsapi gem installs without issue.

It's that time once again, Savannahians: Craft Beer Week is upon us! August 24th - 31st will be the optimal time to get your craft brew on, so get out there and experience all that Savannah Craft Beer Week has to offer!
This year we even have a brand new, recently opened brewery to add to the celebrations. Veteran owned and operated Service Brewing has been running strong since its debut in June, and craft beer enthusiasts in the low country are looking forward to their Beer Week offerings.
Highlights of this week include the notorious Night of the Beer Geek at The Distillery which features one-off and eclectic beer selections provided to them by their distributors. In its 5th year, Night of the Beer Geek has become an evening many Savannah beer lovers anticipate over any other Beer Week event.
The Distillery will also be kicking off Craft Beer Week in Savannah with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 6pm on August 24th, but Crystal Beer Parlor has also elected to kick off the week with a spotlight on Asheville's Highland Brewing.
In fact, many dates during Beer Week here in Savannah give beer lovers their choice of several events, so it might be wise to make your plans in advance. Among the five events on August 25th, we'll have the chance to meet Smith Matthews, Savannah's own Southbound brewmaster, at Ampersand.
Of course, all of these events culminate in the Savannah Craft Brew Fest at the end of the week, which features 150+ beers from world class breweries, live entertainment, and more!
For a full list of 2014 Savannah Craft Beer Week events, you can visit savcraftbeer.com, the brainchild of the brilliant guys over at Brew/Drink/Run, and of course you can always check your favorite craft beer watering holes for their lists of celebrations! Hope to see you out there next week, Savannah!

This book is dedicated to the Greek nature during springtime. Spring is the season when nature celebrates, is the season of flowers, the season of blooming, the season of colors. Flowers compete each other, which will give the most vibrant color. All flowers in this book are wild flowers. They have been photographed mainly, during April and May in the Greek countryside. This book is not a guide of wild flowers. It is trying to give a small idea of the Greek flora, as well as a picture of the wonderful microcosmos of a flower.
I am a professional photographer based in Athens, Greece. I have been interested in photography for the last 35 years. My favorite subjects include people, scenery, nature and sports. I am regularly contributing pictures to several Greek magazines and newspapers. My pictures are also being published all over the world through several picture agencies.

In the cluster of lighting and lamp stores known as The Lamp District, the various characters in Pollux's collection of comics seek illumination.
In a forest of floor lamps, they aim to untangle complications in their lives, impress their friends, repair their relationships, and find a decent lightbulb.
Amidst the assortment of chandeliers, sconces, ceiling lamps, and torchieres, the true lights of life and love shine through.
In the Lamp District casts an amusing light on the human condition.
Pollux (né Paul Morris) was born in 1979 in the English town of Beverley, in what was the former East Riding of Yorkshire. He and his family moved to the United States a year later, and Pollux attended UCLA, studying medieval history and Latin and attended Brown University for grad school, studying medieval history. As a child, Pollux constantly drew and created his own comics, and while at grad school, he began drawing "Nigel and Beatrice" for The Brown Daily Herald. He has been creating comics ever since, creating the web comic Arnjuice (www.arnjuice.com) and he drew the daily comic "The Wavy Rule" for Emdashes.com. All of his graphic novels and novelettes are set in the fictional college town of San Tesifonte, California, which lies somewhere between Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. It is the location for UCST and is home to various museums, parks, beaches, Redwoods Restaurant (home to the famous Sequoia Steak Sandwich) and its pier.

Decode it - Change ideas to purpose
Decode it -
Now that you have an idea and a design for your institute, it's time to convert ideas to purpose.
On this page you'll find answers to these questions:
"What do you mean by 'decoding?'"
"Can you really 'decode' people? How?"
"What are some emerging roles that you'll want to consider within your institute?"
By "Decode" (and, I admit that I needed another D for literary balance) we mean that the definitions, ideas and designs all need to the translated, "decoded," that is, into something that can be done: in other words translating ideas into operations so that these ideas can be done. Let's explain "decoding" in terms of people, processes, and products. Before we can do this we need to express some assumptions and challenges.
People decoding.
"I like where this is going, but I don't know what you want me to do!" Get ready, this is coming. Responding to this statement by saying that you're looking for someone do a little "reality construction" probably will get blank looks. Initially, you're walking a tightrope. You want a new structure (if needed), you want a new vision, but you don't want to adopt the paradigms of the old roles too fast. On the other hand, you'd like to construct a set of expectations and obligations that can focus energy without confusion.
If your institute is an entity separate from the corporate body (a foundation offshoot for example) you may have a free hand in role construction. More than likely, this is NOT you. Hence, the model you're working on is a little more evolutionary than revolutionary. You'll create a few new roles, but you'll more likely "morphing" some of the roles that currently exist in the organization. Some of the old roles might be valuable. For example, attracting veteran faculty members, those who likely know the community and the college culture can make entrance into the community and credibility in the culture easier.
Naturally, you'll have a little more luck defining new roles if the roles have not been completely formed. So you want attract new incoming faculty as they arrive on campus. As these new members of the college community come on board, recruiting and training are valuable ways of modifying roles and integrating new energy and enthusiasm.
And, where are students in all this? The problems are similar. Both faculty and students are involved in maintaining what I like to call the "little red schoolhouse" paradigm of American education. While few schools actually look like 19th century red buildings anymore, there are great similarities in human and structural action. People are brought to a common place in the role of students to be taught by teachers in classrooms. They sit in rows facing the source of wisdom and knowledge and exert little individual creativity, but rather "receive" information.
These roles, in their expectations and obligations, their implied status, are etched in American culture. In the process all participants have learned how to "game the system." Teachers and students become experts in the role performances. There is comfort and security in the roles… certainly. Here in lies the problem for you and your institute.
You don't need to think and act "like a futurist" before you realize that the "little red schoolhouse" metaphor is unlikely to work in your environment, and perhaps, in the 21st century. The process of decoding these roles and, then, painfully resocializing may be the futurist's burden! These new constructs have important elements associated with them. First, they are practical in a 21st century way. That may be why they are so difficult for Baby-boomer generation, linear thinkers to address. Second, they are emerging. But ongoing emerging reality at an enhanced speed of change is the direction we are all headed.
So what are some emerging roles that you'll want to consider within your institute?
Note that the expectations are not maintained exclusively by a single role. Emphasis is not identical but many expectations are similar.

Danielle Fiacco begins her sophomore season Friday when Lafayette travels to Rider to open the 2011-12 slate.
Nov. 11, 2011
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. — It seems like it wasn't all that long ago that the eight teams were gearing up for the Patriot League Tournament. It doesn't feel as though it's been eight months since Navy won three games, captured its first Patriot League title in program history and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, where it put forth a valiant effort against third-seeded DePaul.
Patriot League Women's Basketball Release - 11.11.11
Yet it was eight months ago that the last Patriot League Women's Basketball season came to a close. Since then, there's been one new coach to enter the League, as Nicci Hays Fort takes over at the helm at Colgate. For the other seven schools, the main voices on the sidelines remain unchanged, though the personnel on the court has undergone its usual turnover with graduation and incoming freshmen.
All eight Patriot League teams open their 2011-12 slates Friday, kicking off a busy weekend to start the new campaign. There will be 14 contests over the first four days of the season. After everybody plays Friday, all will take off Saturday, with six returning to the court Sunday, one playing Monday and a pair in action Tuesday.
Lehigh, which was picked second in the League's preseason poll last month, will be the first to hit the court Friday afternoon with a 3 p.m. tip at La Salle. American, which captured the top spot in the poll, opens on the road against George Mason in one of seven 7 p.m. tipoffs for League teams Friday evening. Fourth-year head coach Matt Corkery has guided the Eagles to back-to-back appearances in the Patriot League championship game.
Defending champion Navy, which took third in the preseason rankings for the second year in a row, is one of four teams opening its 2011-12 campaign at home. The Mids play host to Richmond. Army, Bucknell and Colgate are the other three squads opening at home Friday, with Hays Fort making her coaching debut on the Raider sideline against Bryant.
Lafayette and Holy Cross will hit the road to start their seasons Friday. The Leopards head to Rider, while the Crusaders open at Yale. Holy Cross will finish its season-opening two-game trip to the Nutmeg State when it visits No. 4/4 Connecticut Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. in a game that will be broadcast on Connecticut Public Television. The Leopards will play at home Monday night against two-time defending Ivy League champion and preseason favorite Princeton.
American, Army, Bucknell, Lehigh and Navy will be in action again Sunday. The Eagles play James Madison in their home opener, while Army welcomes Seton Hall. Bucknell heads to Rider, while Lehigh stays in Philadelphia to visit Saint Joseph's. Navy will take the short trip to Baltimore for a contest at Loyola (Md.)
The slate continues Tuesday with American at home again for Oakland, while Colgate plays at Cornell.
Patriot League Notebook
With 94 points and 11 first-place votes, American topped the 2011-12 Patriot League Preseason Women's Basketball Poll. The Eagles will aim to capture their first League crown in program history after reaching the title game in each of the last two seasons. American finished ahead of second-place Lehigh, which totaled 83 points and three first-place votes. Defending League champion Navy took third with 74 points and the last two remaining first-place ballots. Bucknell finished fourth in the poll, the same position in which the Bison ended the regular season a year ago. They collected 58 points, followed by Holy Cross in fifth with 52. Rounding out the poll were Lafayette (38 points), Army (26) and Colgate (23).
Navy's Jade Geif got better and better as the 2010-11 season went on, and the hardware began adding up quickly. She was named Patriot League Rookie of the Year at the end of the regular season and added Patriot League Tournament Most Valuable Player honors after helping lead the Midshipmen to their first League crown in program history. Geif was recognized again by the League's eight head coaches and women's basketball sports information directors with the Preseason Player of the Year honor and a spot on the Preseason All-League team. In nearly 30 minutes per game a season ago, Geif was second in the League averaging 7.9 rebounds per game and is Navy's top returning scorer (9.6 ppg). Geif became the first player named Rookie of the Year and Tournament MVP in the same season since Bethany O'Dell of Holy Cross in 2007.
Ten of the 11 players named First- or Second-Team All-Patriot League a year ago graduated in the spring. The one who remains is American senior Lisa Strack, who was named to the Preseason All-League Team last month and is expected to contribute mightily to the Eagles this season. One of three seniors named to the Preseason All-League squad, Strack is the League's second-highest returning scorer after averaging 11.6 points per game last season. She was also her team's best distributor, averaging 3.4 assists per game, placing her fourth in the League.
Three of the six players to garner a place on the Preseason All-League team are sophomores. Bucknell's Shelby Romine looks to build on a a remarkable freshman campaign in which she led all League rookies in scoring with 13.5 points per game. In addition to being the League's top scorer back, she boasts the highest assist-per-game average (3.6) of any returning player. Holy Cross' Alex Smith was also named to the Preseason All-League team after averaging 11.1 points and 3.4 assists per game for the Crusaders, who are trying to improve on their 10-20 mark and 6-8 showing in the League from a year ago.
A pair of senior forwards look to lead Lehigh in its quest back to the top of the Patriot League mountain. Emily Gratch and Alexa Williams were recognized as Preseason All-Leaguers last month, and for good reason. Gratch is Lehigh's top returning scorer and was third on the team last season averaging 10.4 points per game while pulling down 4.6 rebounds per contest. Williams played in all 32 games last year and made 18 starts, averaging 7.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per outing. Williams will share the team's captaincy duties this season with senior guard Aly Byorick for 17th-year head coach Sue Troyan.
Holy Cross head coach Bill Gibbons and his counterpart at Army, Dave Magarity, enter the 2011-12 campaign approaching a pair of milestones. Gibbons sits at 496 career victories, all of which have come while being the leading voice for the Crusaders. Magarity begins the season at 398 career wins and could reach the 400 plateau as soon as Sunday. Gibbons is in his 27th season in Worcester, Mass., while Magarity enters his sixth season at West Point and 29th overall in a career in which he has coached both men and women. A third milestone that seems likely to be reached this season is the 300-win mark for Navy's Stefanie Pemper, the reigning Coach of the Year. Pemper comes into the year with 288 career triumphs.
Lafayette's Danielle Fiacco was enjoying a tremendous freshman campaign a year ago before suffering a season-ending injury in a League contest against Army. In 21 games and 11 starts, Fiacco averaged 6.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per game and collected an astonishing 71 blocks. Her rejections total is second in Lafayette single-season history and she was on her way to challenging the League record for a single season before her injury. Now healthy, Fiacco is Lafayette's top returning scorer from a season ago and looks to continue dominating the paint as the Leopards attempt to challenge for the League crown under second-year head coach Dianne Nolan.
The Patriot League features one new face on the sidelines in 2011-12, with Nicci Hays Fort entering her first season at Colgate. Entering the season with over a decade of coaching experience, Hays Fort comes to Hamilton, N.Y., after serving as the associate head coach on Doug Bruno's staff at DePaul. Coincidentally, one of Hays Fort's last contests coaching the Blue Demons was in the first round of last year's NCAA Tournament, when DePaul faced off with Navy. The Raiders look to rebound from a 7-22 showing and a 2-12 mark in the League last season, and boast the returns of junior Jhazmine Lynch, the 2010 Patriot League Rookie of the Year, along with senior Tricia Oakes.
With a lot of new faces in the starting lineup, Army will look to get off to a great start to the season by playing seven of its first 10 games at home. The Black Knights open with Wagner Friday night and entertain BIG EAST opponent Seton Hall Sunday. The seven-in-10 stretch ends Dec. 6 when Army welcomes Binghamton to Christl Arena. Meanwhile, Lehigh, which is coming off its third straight 20-win season, opens its season at La Salle Friday at 3 p.m. and plays six of its first seven games away from home. The Mountain Hawks play three consecutive contests on the road before their home opener Nov. 19 against St. Peter's. They will play another three straight on the road after that, including a matchup at Rutgers. Lehigh totals just two games at home, with the second coming against another BIG EAST opponent in Villanova Nov. 30.
For most, Thanksgiving is a time for getting together with family or friends, catching up with loved ones and sharing a big meal of turkey, stuffing and all the fixings. It's also a busy time for basketball teams, and this year is no different for the eight Patriot League schools. All eight will have some competition that weekend, with four clubs participating in tournaments. Lafayette and Lehigh will both participate in the Thanksgiving Challenge against Northeast Conference opponents. American and Colgate will vie for the most miles logged when both head to the West Coast for the turkey holiday. The Eagles will compete in the Cal Poly Thanksgiving Tournament, while the Raiders will play two in a bracket hosted by Cal State Northridge.
Three Patriot League contests are scheduled to be televised on CBS Sports Network, with two featuring one of the most vaunted rivalry in intercollegiate athletics. Both regular season contests between Army and Navy will be shown on the network, with the Jan. 14 game hailing from Alumni Hall in Annapolis, Md., and the Feb. 11 contest at Christl Arena at West Point, N.Y. Both games will tip at 12 p.m. CBS Sports Network will also televise the Patriot League championship on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 6 p.m.
For the second season in a row, the Patriot League Tournament will be contested on the home courts of the higher seeds in all rounds of the bracket. In recent years the quarterfinals and semifinals have been hosted at one central location, with just the championship game being played at the site of the better seed. That means this season there is even more emphasis on League play. Teams will be playing not only for seeding, but also for the opportunity to host one (or more) games in the Patriot League Tournament. The Patriot League Tournament semifinals are slated for Thursday, March 1, the semifinals Monday, March 5 and the championship game Saturday, March 10 at 6 p.m.
For the fifth consecutive year, most of the Patriot League men and women's basketball games starting in January will be available online through the Patriot League All-Access subscription. For $7.95 a month, fans will be able to view streams of the available League contests right in the comfort of their own homes. In addition, a monthly subscription will give fans access to archived broadcasts and events. Fans can also purchase a yearly subscription for $19.95, making available every premium All-Access event for a 12-month period, including the basketball games and upcoming Patriot League championship events. All-Access also features several pieces of free contest posted weekly, including Top Plays of the Week, the Student-Athlete Interview series, recaps and previews.
Patriot League schools once again excelled when the NCAA released its most recent Academic Progress Rate in May. Ninety-seven percent of League teams came in at or above the national Division I four-year average score of 970. In addition, over 65 percent of League teams tallied a score of 990 or better. Eighty-two teams from full-member institutions and 73 League-sponsored squads were awarded NCAA Public Recognition Awards for scoring in the top 10 percent of their sport's APR.
Team Notebooks
AMERICAN Senior Lisa Strack, the only All-Patriot League performer returning from a year ago, will share the team's captain responsibilities with sophomore Alexis Dobbs ... Dobbs averaged 6.7 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while collecting 81 assists and 50 steals, with both of those numbers second on the team behind Strack ... Head coach Matt Corkery enters his fourth season at the helm with two straight appearances in the Patriot League title game and an impressive 32-10 mark in League contests ... Stephanie Anya played in 30 games last year with 27 starts and averaged 6.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game ... She will give the Eagles size and experience up front.
ARMY One year after all five starters returned, the Black Knights are experiencing the exact opposite, with only one returning starter back from 2010-11 ... That starter is junior Molly Yardley, who finished third on the team with 7.1 points per game a year ago ... She is her team's top 3-point shooting threat, having connected on 39.2 percent of her chances last season ... Four of Army's top five scorers last season were seniors, and this year's roster features just a pair of fourth-year players ... There will be ample chances for underclassmen and perhaps even freshmen to earn playing time ... Head coach Dave Magarity is in his sixth season at West Point and has posted 85 wins during his tenure.
BUCKNELL The Bison will miss departed seniors Cosima Higham and Joyce Novacek, who finished second and third, respectively, in scoring last season behind Shelby Romine ... The two combined to average over 14 points per game while both shared the team lead with 7.8 rebounds per contest ... Head coach Kathy Fedorjaka, who enters her 14th year in Lewisburg, Pa., will rely on juniors Rachel Voss (6.0 ppg, 2.7 rpg) and Felicia Mgbada (6.0 ppg, 3.3 rpg) to step up ... Mgbada enjoyed a breakout game with 19 points in Bucknell's semifinal loss at Navy in the Patriot League Tournament.
COLGATE New head coach Nicci Hays Fort inherits a team that was outscored by an average of 6.3 points per game en route to a 7-22 record and a 2-12 mark in the Patriot League one year ago ... One of those League victories came at Navy, though the Raiders could not repeat the result in the quarterfinals of the Patriot League Tournament ... Colgate ended the season with an eight-game skid ... Junior Jhazmine Lynch averaged 11.4 points per game a year ago and was her team's top thief (65 steals) and distributor (64 assists) ... She played in 28 of the team's 29 contests and made 11 starts ... Tricia Oakes made 11 starts as well and played in 25 games, scoring nearly seven points per game.
HOLY CROSS The Crusaders are a young bunch in 2011-12 with just one senior on the roster in Meredith Ward ... Holy Cross was bolstered last season by a pair of freshmen guards in Alex Smith and Bri Malone ... Smith was second on the team with 11.1 points per contest and dished 98 assists, while Malone was fourth in scoring (7.1 ppg) ... Smith led the League with 82 3-pointers last season and shot 37.6 percent from beyond the arc ... Junior Amy Lepley collected a team-high 13 blocks while averaging 9.6 points per game and shooting nearly 41 percent from the field.
LAFAYETTE The Leopards were hit hard by graduation, losing their top three scorers from 2010-11 ... 6-foot-7 center Danielle Fiacco averaged 6.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per game last season and returns for her sophomore season after missing the final nine contests due to injury ... Sara McGorry averaged 5.7 points in just over 25 minutes per game and is back in the Leopard front court, Melissa Downey, the team's top distributor, is back after dishing a team-best 62 assists last year ... Dianne Nolan is in her second season at Lafayette and 35th overall as a head coach ... Lafayette, which took sixth in the preseason poll, is looking to improve upon last year's 11-19 record and 4-10 ledger against Patriot League teams ... The Leopards fell to Lehigh in the quarterfinals of last year's League Tournament.
LEHIGH The Mountain Hawks feature arguably the deepest senior class in the League with four seniors ... While Emily Gratch and Alexa Williams were Preseason All-League picks, Aly Byorick and Kelela Blake round out the fourth-year class for 17th-year head coach Sue Troyan ... Gratch averaged 10.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game and is the team's top returning scorer ... Byorick started 17 games and appeared in all 32 contests, averaging over 21 minutes per outing ... She hit on nearly 36 percent of her 3-point shots ... Blake provides depth off the bench, having played in 24 matches last year ... The Mountain Hawks enter the season without the graduated Erica Prosser, who was the League's first simultaneous Player and Defensive Player of the Year in 2010-11.
NAVY Like the other seven squads, the Mids suffered key losses due to the graduations of Angela Myers and Cassie Consedine ... Myers finished in the League's all-time top 10 in assists, while Consedine sits 10th all-time in rebounds ... Jade Geif (9.6 ppg, 7.9 rpg) is joined by fellow sophomores Alix Membreno (5.9 ppg) and Audrey Bauer (5.9 ppg) as the team's top returning scorers, with Geif and Membreno having garnered All-Tournament Team honors last year ... Erin Edwards, the team's lone senior, averaged 5.8 points per game a year ago and dished 50 assists in 29 starts.

Iowa State at Iowa Wednesday, May 1, 2013
Illinois at Iowa Saturday, March 31, 2012
Stacy May-Johnson -- the 2011 USA Softball Female Athlete of the Year -- is in her fifth season as an assistant coach at the University of Iowa in 2015. May-Johnson, a former Hawkeye, serves as the Hawkeye hitting coach.
In her fourth season with the program, May-Johnson and the rest of the coaching staff earned their 100th career victory at Iowa with a regular-season finale, 3-2 win over Ohio State at Pearl Field in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes ended 2014 with a 16-30-1 overall record and a 9-14 Big Ten mark for eighth place in the conference standings.
Megan Blank earned her third-straight first team All-Big Ten honor and was a second team NFCA All-Midwest Region selection after leading the Hawkeyes in batting average, slugging percentage, hits, doubles, triples, RBIs and walks. Kayla Massey earned her second career Big Ten Pitcher of the Week nod on March 31 after recording two complete game wins over Wisconsin. Three earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades including Haley Hansel, Whitney Repole and Michelle Zoeller.
May-Johnson helped guide the Hawkeyes to 30 wins in 2013 (30-24) in her third year, marking the most wins for the program since finishing 42-16 in 2009. Iowa posted six wins over ranked opponents.
Three Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors -- Megan Blank was named to the first team, Johnnie Dowling earned second team honors, and Kayla Massey was named to the Big Ten All-Defensive team at pitcher. Blank earned her second-straight first team accolade, becoming the sixth Hawkeye in program history to earn first team honors in each of her first two seasons.
Blank was also named a 2013 NFCA First Team All-Midwest Region selection, earning her second all-region honor in as many seasons. Blank became the sixth Hawkeye in program history to garner all-region honors in each of her first two seasons.
May-Johnson coached Blank to a record-setting year in 2013. Blank hit .437, setting Iowa's single season batting average record. The previous record was .428, set by Kim Davis in 1993. Blank's 59 RBIs mark the second-highest single-season total in program history. Blank also belted 11 home runs -- the third-highest single-season total.
In the classroom, a school-record 10 Hawkeyes were named to the 2013 spring Academic All-Big Ten team.
During her second season with the Hawkeyes in 2012, May-Johnson helped lead the team to a runner-up finish in the Big Ten. Iowa dropped two of its first three conference series before winning five straight to close out the season. It was the first time the team had won five straight series since the 2004 season.
Iowa entered the final weekend with a conference title within reach, but it couldn't close the gap with Michigan despite taking 2-of-3 games at Minnesota. The Hawkeyes finished with a 27-26 overall and 16-8 conference record in 2012.
Five players garnered All-Big Ten recognition, including three first team selections. Senior Liz Watkins, sophomore Kayla Massey and freshman Megan Blank earned first team accolades, sophomore Michelle Zoeller was a second team honoree and junior Johnnie Dowling was a third team selection.
Blank also garnered NFCA second team all-region honors during her freshman campaign. She is the ninth Hawkeye to earn first team All-Big Ten and all-region honors during her freshman season.
May-Johnson oversaw the transition of Blank from a slapper to swinging away and Dowling from a right-handed hitter to a left-handed slapper, both with strong results.
Blank ranked in the top six in the Big Ten in five offensive categories after hitting .390 with 17 doubles and five triples. She also ranked 14th nationally in triples (5) and tied for 16th in doubles and triples per game. Dowling had a career year, posting career bests in batting average (.308), hits (53) and runs (35). The outfielder hit .381 in league play.
Iowa posted a 27-24 overall and a 9-11 Big Ten record in May-Johnson's first season in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes opened Big Ten Conference play strong, jumping out to an 8-3 record. Among the victories was a 4-2 triumph at No. 1 Michigan. The win, which pushed the overall mark to 26-16, was Iowa's first over a No. 1 ranked opponent since the 2005 season and the first over a ranked foe since 2008.
A pair of Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten recognition at the conclusion of the season. Liz Watkins was tabbed as a second team selection, while Katie Keim earned third team accolades.
May-Johnson (formerly Stacy May), was a four-year letterwinner at Iowa from 2003-06 and enjoyed a successful professional career as a member of the Chicago Bandits in the National Professional Fastpitch (NPF) league from 2006-10.
May-Johnson was a three-time NFCA All-Mideast Region selection as a Hawkeye. She was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2003 while leading Iowa to a regular season and conference tournament championship. She was also a three-time All-Big Ten pick. May-Johnson's name still appears in 11 different offensive school records lists at Iowa. She finished her career with a .338 batting average, 23 home runs and 109 RBI. May-Johnson started every game in her four years, collecting 247-straight starts. In 780 career at-bats, May-Johnson tallied 264 hits and 60 walks to just 38 strikeouts.
May-Johnson exceled off the field as well, earning ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America District 7 honors as a junior and senior. She was also a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.
May-Johnson was Chicago's first overall pick (fourth pick, second round) in the 2006 NPF Draft. She retired after a five-year career as one of the most decorated players in NPF history. She was named NPF Rookie of the Year in 2006 and NPF League MVP in 2008 and 2010.

Stocks recover on Wall Street after a 2-day plunge
Traders decided that the stock market has suffered enough, at least for now.
After a two-day plunge, stocks ended the week with an advance on Friday, suggesting that Wall Street may be successfully weaned from the Federal Reserve's easy money after all.
"Saner heads are prevailing," said Jim Dunigan, chief investment officer at PNC Wealth Management. "People are looking a little deeper into the message from the Fed — the economy is getting better," he said. "At the end of the day that's a positive."
Investors had known that sooner or later the Fed would quit spending $85 billion per month pumping money into the U.S. economy.
FAA moving toward easing electronic device use
WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is moving toward easing restrictions on airline passengers using electronic devices to listen to music, play games, read books, watch movies and work during takeoffs and landings, but it could take a few months.
An industry-labour advisory committee was supposed to make recommendations next month to the Federal Aviation Administration on easing the restrictions. But the agency said in a statement Friday the deadline has been extended to September because committee members asked for extra time to finish assessing whether it's safe to lift restrictions.
The agency is under public and political pressure to ease the restrictions as more people bring their e-book readers, music and video players, smartphones and laptops with them when they fly.
Air travel changes at less than supersonic speed
LE BOURGET, France (AP) — When the Concorde started flying in the 1970s, hopes were high that the travelling masses would soon streak through the air faster than the speed of sound or soar in planes that hurtled like missiles above the earth's atmosphere. Instead, jetliners still look the same as they did five decades ago and travel times have barely budged.
To consumers who have watched the world's technological imagination shift to Silicon Valley, the airline industry seems plodding. Computers and cellphones are obsolete almost as soon as they're unwrapped. The aviation industry looks stuck in time by comparison.
Restricted by huge costs, rising fuel prices and safety concerns, the aviation industry is unable to make the same leaps and bounds. It has instead turned its eye to less obvious advances, ones that companies say have allowed more people to fly than ever before.
One of the most talked about innovations at the show in Le Bourget this week was the use of composite materials — including carbon fibers and plastics; Airbus' newest jet, the A350, relies heavily on composites. But to the naked eye, it looks just like all the other Airbuses on display.
First Apple computer could fetch $500,000 or more
NEW YORK (AP) — It's the kind of electronic junk that piles up in basements and garages — an old computer motherboard with wires sticking out.
But because it was designed and sold by two college dropouts named Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, it could be worth more than half a million dollars.
An Apple 1 from 1976, one of the first Apple computers ever built and forerunner of today's MacBooks, IPads and IPhones, goes on the auction block at Christie's next week. The bidding starts at $300,000, with a pre-sale estimated value of up to $500,000.
Unemployment fell in half of US states in May
WASHINGTON (AP) — Unemployment rates fell in half of U.S. states last month, led by drops in California, West Virginia, New York and Hawaii.
The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment rates rose in 17 states and were unchanged in eight.
Hiring has been steady nationwide, leading to a better job market in many areas of the country. Employers added jobs in 33 states last month. The biggest gains were in Ohio, Texas and Michigan.
House's rejection of farm bill leaves few options
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House's broad rejection of a massive farm bill could signal a shift in the way Congress views agriculture policy.
Farm issues once had enormous clout on Capitol Hill, but the healthy agriculture economy and an increased interest in cutting spending have worked against farm-state lawmakers who are now trying to push a farm bill through for a third year in a row.
The five-year, half-trillion dollar measure would have expanded some subsidies while saving about $4 billion annually overall, including a 3 per cent cut in the almost $80 billion-a-year food stamp program. The vote Thursday was 234-195 against the bill, with 62 Republicans voting "no," arguing it was too expensive.
Ex-Enron CEO gets 10 years cut from sentence
HOUSTON (AP) — One of the country's most notorious financial scandals came to a protracted legal conclusion Friday as ex-Enron Corp. CEO Jeffrey Skilling — already in prison for his role in the once-mighty energy giant's collapse — was resentenced to 14 years as part of a court-ordered reduction and a separate agreement with prosecutors.
Skilling's sentence was reduced by 10 years, and his attorneys say it's likely that with time off for good behaviour and other factors he will be released in 2017.
Skilling has been in prison since 2006, when he was sentenced to more than 24 years by U.S. District Judge Sim Lake. But an appeals court vacated his prison term in 2009, ruling that a sentencing guideline was improperly applied. That meant a reduction of as much as nine years.
Starbucks hiking prices despite lower bean costs
NEW YORK (AP) — Starbucks wants a little extra change for that latte.
The Seattle-based coffee company says it's hiking prices on average by 1 per cent nationally starting on Tuesday. But it says the price for many drinks, such as medium and large brewed coffees and Frappuccinos, won't change in most its 11,000 U.S. cafes.
For a small brewed coffee, the price will increase by 10 cents at most. Other drinks could increase by more than that.
Olive Garden luring diners with cheaper prices
NEW YORK (AP) — If the free breadsticks and unlimited soup and salad aren't enough, Olive Garden is hitting the gas on other promotions to get customers through its doors.
Darden Restaurants Inc., which has been struggling to hold onto customers in recent years, said deal offers like "2 for $25" dinner special helped drive up customer traffic at its flagship Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains in the latest quarter. The company said it will keep stressing the affordability of its food in the year ahead to attract more diners.
The strategy raises concerns among some investors, who worry that it's a short-term fix that only hurts profit margins.
Food Network won't renew Paula Deen's contract
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — The Food Network said Friday it's dumping Paula Deen, barely an hour after the celebrity cook posted the first of two videotaped apologies online begging forgiveness from fans and critics troubled by her admission to having used racial slurs in the past.
The 66-year-old Savannah kitchen celebrity has been swamped in controversy since court documents filed this week revealed Deen told an attorney questioning her under oath last month that she has used the N-word. "Yes, of course," Deen said, though she added, "It's been a very long time."
The news came as Deen worked to repair the damage to her image, which has spawned a vast empire of cookbooks, a bimonthly cooking magazine, a full line of cookware, food items like spices and even furniture.

Alf, 73, of Church Street, Bolton on Dearne, bought his Rolls Royce Silver Spur Three two years ago and it takes up the majority of his drive.
After finally giving up on motorbike racing this year it is now the focus of his attention.
Alf started racing in 1961, but driving around the Dearne in his Roller is now much more his scene and easier on his ageing bones.
He said: "It's much more nice and sedate when you're not flying about at 100 miles-per-hour.
"After I packed in the bike racing I needed something to do with my time and entering shows and going to days out is enjoyable."
Alf, who used to run the now closed Crown Pub in West Melton, will drive the car to a show at the Wentworth Woodhouse on Sunday.
"It's going to be a big show with cars and bikes there in the grounds of Wentworth Woodhouse," he added.

Prom is in the air. If you are a teen reading this, you are in the middle of getting ready for prom night, or wishing you were going. If you are a parent, you are concerned about the pressures of the night from how much money it costs to whether or not your teen will make wise choices to get home safely.
Really, getting ready for prom should be more fun than it is. Prom shouldn't be about tickets that cost hundreds of dollars, elaborate "promposals," dresses that cost an arm and a leg and are never worn again. Here are some ways to make prom unique without breaking the bank and turning prom night into fight night with your parents.
Cook a fancy meal for your friends. Plan a great menu, make invitations for friends, and ask your parents to help serve it in their formal dining room. This will definitely save. Going out to dinner is one way of feeling grownup and special, but it's only one. Making dinner and serving it is the old fashioned way a young woman showed off her skills. Just leave enough time to slip into your dress before your guests arrive.
Do your makeup at home. You can also get together with friends and do each others' makeup. You can also practice different techniques with your friends before the big night. That way, you will have some idea of what looks good on you.
Go thrift shopping with your friends for dresses or borrow one. No one will ever know it was last year's fashion. Sometimes a great dress can be altered slightly for the perfect fit. Some schools even sponsor events where girls can get a new or used prom dress. If there is nothing current, go vintage to make a statement. Part of your statement can be that spending big money on a dress you only wear once is a waste of your college fund.
Make your own dress out of unique materials. One Los Angeles area teen made a prom dress from pop tabs because she couldn't otherwise afford a dress. Some kids make prom dresses out of duct tape. There have even been gowns made from newspaper, cardboard, Doritos bags, and recyclable materials.
Enter the Duck brand duct tape "Stuck At Prom" scholarship contest. It's hard to say how much the duct tape costs compared to how much it costs to buy an inexpensive dress, but considering that the prizes feature decent scholarship money, it looks to be worth the effort. You can get inspiration for your designs at the Stuck At Prom page. Entries are accepted until May 23, 2014. You can enter as a single or as a couple.
Here are some additional resources to check out for saving on the big night:

The month of September, saw two people killed by vehicular manslaughter in Flint.
While those numbers don't come close to matching the deaths by violence, this year so far, they are more unsettling. Because in each situation, the victims were pedestrians not involved in any type of criminal behavior.
Misty Kurma, 13, was struck and killed on Tobias and Saginaw Street, September 30, as she crossed the street, to attend a nearby church. Apparently, 28-year-old Flint resident, Mark A. Blount, was fleeing police, when his vehicle crossed the center line southbound on Saginaw striking Kurma. Police were trailing Blount, wanted for an outstanding federal warrant for distribution of heroin and a probation violation warrant. A fully marked state police car activated a siren for about 10-seconds, before the girl was hit by the van. Police arrested the suspect after a short foot chase.
According to the Flint Journal newspaper, at MLive.com, "the city had 44 homicides through Wednesday --- already exceeding the number of homicides it had in each of 2007, 2008, 2009, before last year's record-breaking 66 slayings." For statistics on murders in the Vehicle City last year see the article: Flint, still is number one for violent crime in the...
by William Crockerham, Flint Examiner.
September 3rd, Jewell Baxter, 66, a former football star at the now closed Flint Central High School, was just standing his ground. "None of us are really sure what happened," said Kimberly Baxter-Brown, 42, of Flint Township. "What we do know is it ended in a horrible tragedy." http://www.mlive.com/news/flint/index.ssf/2011/09/66-year-old_man_who_wa...
"Baxter-Brown's father, Jewell Baxter, was struck by a red full-sized pickup truck about 7:35 p.m. Saturday on Gloucester Street near South Dexter Street. Police said an argument at a nearby home led to the incident."
Both suspects are now lodged in the Genesee County Jail. Meanwhile, the city of Flint is being held hostage by the most violent city in the country moniker.

ITS location has changed but Harlaxton Post Office customers will still find a familiar face waiting to help them with their postal needs.
Harlaxton Post Office manager Jones Wong said some customers were confused about the shop's location after it was relocated from the intersection of Ruthven and Gregory Sts earlier this month.
It now operates from within the Blue Mountain FoodWorks supermarket, a little further north on Ruthven St at the intersection of Griffiths St.
Mr Wong became involved in post shops through his brother Raymond, who together with wife Catherine, owned the Harlaxton Post Office for more than four years.
New owner Debbie Smith moved the shop into her FoodWorks supermarket.
"The opportunity was there and it was something I was familiar with," Mr Wong said
"I see a lot of good potential for this place."
Mr Wong said the post office offered the same services in its new location.
"A lot of our regular customers used to frequent both places so it is more convenient for them."

Kids and Adult Drugs
almost 80 percent of children hospitalized in the United States are given drugs that have only been approved for adult patients. Amanda Gardner of HealthDay News reports:
"Any time you prescribe a medication, you ideally think the benefits outweigh the risks," said Dr. Samir S. Shah, lead author of the study and an attending physician in pediatric infectious diseases at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "The problem when you're using a drug off-label is, oftentimes, there may not be enough evidence to help you make that decision in an informed way. We think the benefits outweigh the risks, but we don't have enough evidence."
Using drugs "off label' for conditions other than their original approval is perfectly legal but causes concern among some experts. A 2001 U.S. government report concluded that, overall, about 21 percent of prescribed drug use was for conditions not indicated on the label.

Notorious child torturer and domestic terrorist Joe Arpaio has never made a secret of his contempt for the people he's expected to serve as the sheriff of Maricopa county, Arizona. From threatening border patrol militiamen with "30 rounds fired into" them, to performing cruel and unusual punishment on teenagers not yet even convicted of a crime, Arpaio has made clear that he intends to decide the law for himself in as many ways as he can manage.
While many alleged officers of the law have exhibited lack of regard for it, many consider Arpaio especially audacious in his attempts to market himself as patriotic and pro American. His concept of America seems to be a land in which your life could be swiftly devastated at any moment based on your possession of a naturally growing plant, and you are expected to show your papers and documentation to anyone with a badge who demands it, for any reason. Refusal to comply with Arpaio's law results in threats, humiliation, and starvation. And that's just what he's been capable of thus far.
For example, Arpaio psychologically tormented thousands of young men and boys in his notorious "Tent City," which is visually nearly indistinguishable from a WWII era concentration camp. The prison camp's perimeter is lined with electrified fences, and patrolled by guards and dogs. The cruel and unusual conditions didn't satisfy Arpaio, however, as he also forced inmates to wear pink colored underwear and handcuffs, in some bizarre attempt to dress the young boys in outfits more to his liking. Arpaio has never explained what makes him enjoy seeing teenaged boys in pink underwear so much, but has stated quite unequivocally that he gladly used the publicity stunt to gain reelection.
From failure to investigate rape to expecting any Americans darker than himself to show identification papers, Arpaio is an easy candidate for a "least American American" award. However, perhaps by far his most obscene crime was his conspiracy to stage a fake assassination plot as a publicity stunt. 18 year old James Seville was set up as a "bomber," intent to kill Arpaio. The only problem was that after Saville waited 4 years in jail for trial, the Maricopa County Superior Court found that Arpaios henchmen had actually purchased and planted the bomb parts themselves. Arpaio never went to jail for this massive crime, but the citizens of Maricopa county did have to pay $1.6 million to Saville as an apology for Arpaio's actions.

Aug 21, 2014
News Source : Lexmark International Technology acquires further shares in ReadSoft
Lexmark International Technology S.A. ("Lexmark International Technology") has acquired a further 2,284,239 class B shares in ReadSoft AB (publ) ("ReadSoft" or the "Company") and now holds 1,193,580 class A shares and 11,970,363 class B shares in the Company, representing approximately 42.9 percent of the shares and 57.7 percent of the votes in aggregate[1].
On 14 July 2014, Lexmark International Technology, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lexmark International Inc. ("Lexmark"), announced a new recommended public offer to the shareholders in ReadSoft to sell their shares in ReadSoft to Lexmark International Technology (the "Offer"). Lexmark International Technology offered SEK 50.00 in cash per share in ReadSoft. In the said press release, Lexmark International Technology also announced that Lexmark International Technology had acquired a total of 1,624,077 class B shares in ReadSoft, corresponding to approximately 5.3 per cent of the shares and 3.9 per cent of the votes in ReadSoft[2].
On 5 August 2014, Lexmark International Technology announced an increase of its Offer price for all outstanding shares in ReadSoft in response to a SEK 55.00 increased competing offer for the shares in ReadSoft that was announced by Hyland Software UK Ltd on August 4, 2014. The Offer price was increased from SEK 50.00 per share to SEK 55.50 per share, irrespective of share class.
On 7 August 2014, Lexmark International Technology announced that it had acquired an additional 1,153,640 class B shares in ReadSoft, corresponding to approximately 3.8 per cent of the shares and 2.8 per cent of the votes in ReadSoft[3]. On 12 August 2014, Lexmark International Technology announced that it had acquired an additional 1,086,017 class B shares in ReadSoft, corresponding to approximately 3.5 per cent of the shares and 2.6 per cent of the votes in ReadSoft [4].

Any compensation will correspond to the difference between the consideration paid to the seller and the price at which the shares are sold, or the price in the public takeover offer, or the price for which Lexmark International Technology has acquired further shares (as the case may be). Due to the principle of equal treatment of shareholders in public takeover offers, such compensation will also be payable to shareholders who accept the Offer. The Offer price was adjusted accordingly at the same time.
Immediately prior to this announcement, Lexmark International Technology has acquired a further 2,284,239 class B shares in ReadSoft, corresponding to approximately 7.4 per cent of the shares and 5.5 per cent of the votes in ReadSoft[6].
