where the tormented waves made
"The moon was hidden when
I got down to the beach. When
its radiance flashed out suddenly,
I hid my eyes.
"Ned Bellew and Duncan Nel
son were there, a stone's throw
from the mountings .hissing
breakers. Both were stripped to
the waist, and there, in the wild
night, they were fighting it out.
"It was not a white man's
fight. When I saw them they
were circling atround each other
like wild "beasts, their faces horri
ble in the cold of the moon. . . .
And their weapons were native
knives, the long curved kind,
that makes awful wounds.
"I gave a cry, but it was drown
ed in the roar of the storm, and
the next moment, the moon was
phut out by a cloud, and darkness
"I ran stumbling toward where
I had seen heiri. Before I -was
half way, there came a roarjfrom
the volcano behind me, and a
sheet of red flame flashed across
the sky, fighting everything with
hell's own light . v and I stop
ped. "Duncan Nelson was on his
back, and Ned Bellew's knife was
in his-heart.
"I turned back for the Fire
God's cave, with hate for the wo
man who had caused this thing
tearing at my heart. As I ran on,"
beaten by the wind, and the spray
from the ocean, blinded by the
red streaks of the volcano, I re
member that I cursed aloud, and
sobbed, like a drunken man.
"When I stumbled into the
cave, wet and dripping, one or
two turned to give me a second
look. But that was all. The
dance was at its heighth; revel
elry, and lust, and passion, and
desire, reigned supreme.
"I made my .way toward the
princess, but before' I reached
her, I heard a woman'scry of
fright. . . .
"Ned Bellew was in the door
way. His face was deathly white,
save where a streak of ghastly red
ran down it. He still was naked
to the waist. He still held his
knife in his hand. And his nakedV
heaving body, and his long knife,
dripped of blood.
"He stood there like a statue of
death. The weird music of the
dance died down, and ceased. The
dancers stood still. I saw that
the princess was pale.
" T have killed him,' said Bel
lew. " 'Who ?' asked the princess.
" 'Nelson,' said Bellew.
" 'What did you do that for?'
asked the princess. And her
tone was that of a petulant child,
robbed of a toy.
"T did it for you,' said Bel
lew.' "The princess laughed aloud .
"Have you eyer seen a man who
has just committed murder laugh
ed at by thewoman for whom he
killed? . . .
"Bellew's mouth fell open. His
eyes stared. The red knife he
had clutched' so tightly dropped
clatteringly to the ground.
There was no sound save the
weird, high howl of the wind, tha

Samsung takes a three percent stake in Sharp for $105m
Gets access to medium and large LCD panels
DISPLAY MAKER Sharp has signed a deal worth around $105m with Samsung, and the smartphone maker will take a three percent stake in the firm while getting access to Sharp's LCD screens.
Sharp has been trying to drum up investment as it has recently seen weak demand for LCD screens. The firm announced today that it signed a deal with Samsung that will result in the consumer electronics giant taking a three percent stake in Sharp and getting long-term access to the firm's LCD panels after handing over $105m.
Sharp has already signed a deal with Qualcomm that should give the chip designer access to its IGZO display technology, however this deal with Samsung is slightly different.
Sharp said the deal will be to "build up mutual trust relationship" adding that it would "continuously provide a long-term, stable and timely supply of LCD panels for large-size TVs and small and medium-size LCD panels for mobile devices such as notebook computers."
While Samsung is tapping Sharp for its LCD screens, the firm is heavily investing in OLED technology for its smartphones and tablets and there was no mention of Sharp supplying LCD screens for such devices. Samsung's investment also opens up the possibility that its own display manufacturing plants could be geared towards producing higher demand screens used in high profile devices.
Samsung's three percent stake in Sharp may not sound like much but it puts the firm as the fifth largest shareholder and the largest non-Japanese investor, ahead of Qualcomm, which has a 2.5 percent stake in the company.
Sharp was reportedly talking with Foxconn about making an investment, but that deal looks far off now. µ

If you are one of the zillions of Beatles fans, here's just one of many events celebrating their victorious British Invasion of New York City 50 years ago. It's 'FAB50 - America Celebrates the Beatles' at 7:30 p. m., Saturday, February 8, 2014 at Manhattan's Town Hall Theater.
This special concert headlines renowned singers and musicians who have had connections to the Fab4 that range from up close - personally and professionally - to those who have been influenced by one or more of the legendary pop icons.
These performers include an artist who has had songs written for him by one of The Beatles; another whose only hit knocked The Beatles out of the #1 position on the charts; and one who shared the stage with John Lennon at Madison Square Garden and released the single, "I Wanna Be a Beatle" in 1964, and is a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer along with John Lennon.
One of the Fab50 headliners, Julie Grant, toured with The Beatles and was a friend of theirs from the beginning of their respective careers. Julie became a major pop star when her recordings hit the UK singles charts. Today, her songs are still hot online: "Up On The Roof" (1963) and "Count on Me" and "Come to Me" (1964.)
Through the years Julie Grant has regaled us with the highlights of her life on the stage and behind the scenes with the Beatles as well as the Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Drifters, The Everly Brothers, and Bo Diddley - among other music legends.
She clearly remembers her first meeting with The Beatles at the ABC theater in Blackpool, England: "I was watching the show from the back of the theater with Paul's father James [McCartney]. He kept commenting that he couldn't hear a thing throughout the show with the non-stop screaming!"
Julie continued: "After the show we all went back to their dressing room and this was the first time I met Brian Epstein [the Fab4's legendary manager]. He was a real gentleman and gave me four new individual photos of the lads. As the were signing them to me, the pen was acting up, so John signed both front and back as well as Paul signing a couple of times. It was Ringo's birthday that day, July 7, and they had a lovely cake for him, which they let me share because it was my birthday on the 12th. What a wonderful 17th. Birthday I had" said Julie.
"A couple of weeks later I went to see the Beatles show and later backstage I asked them if they would like to come to my apartment after their show. Paul & Ringo couldn't come, but George and John said they would try, but it would be quite late as they were going back to Liverpool to pick up George's new car.
"I went back to the apartment and told my mom and dad that the 'lads' would be coming over later. Mom had baked a chocolate cake that day and she said she would serve it with tea. It seemed like hours later when lo and behold I heard a car horn and looked out the window to see John and George getting out of this lovely silver-blue jaguar, it was stunning. They came upstairs and were really gracious to my mom and dad.
"John actually polished off most of the cake and I asked them to sign my autograph book and the doily that the cake had been on. At the top of the cake-stained paper and above their signatures they wrote 'THE BEATLES', obviously in case I didn't know who they were. I cherish these autographs, especially as both of them have passed on. That same evening George showed me how to play 'Taste of Honey' on my new, cheap guitar. To this day, it's the only song I can play on the guitar."
Julie's agent, Eric Easton, also represented the Rolling Stones. She said, "He lined up all kinds of shows for them and I was on the bill with them all the time, in fact in the beginning of our careers, they opened for me on some shows, how crazy is that!"
Years later, while Julie was headlining at the Loews Americana Hotel in the Bahamas, Ringo Starr checked in as he was filming a movie. She and her group went looking for him, Julie said," they had to be skeptics about how well I knew him. I went up to say hello to him and his lovely wife Maureen and he was thrilled to see me there. He came to our show that night and everyone was thrilled that a 'Beatle' was in our midst. Sidney Poitier and his wife Joanna lived close by at Lyford Cay and were regulars at our show."
Julie Grant now lives in the USA and with her husband David Connelly is a show-business agent and manager. (www.englishwolfmusic.com)
Joining Julie in the Fab50 show is Tommy James who was so much admired by George Harrison that the Beatle wrote some songs for him to record. Between 1966 and 1969, Tommy enjoyed 14 Top 40 hits. From 1968-70, when artists like Jagger, Fogerty, and Morrison were in their heyday, Tommy James & the Shondells sold more singles than any other pop act in the world, including hits like "Hanky Panky." In all, Tommy James has sold over 100-million records, earning 23 gold singles and 9 gold as well as platinum albums.
Melanie, one of the stars of fabled Woodstock, has sold over 80 million records, and sang with John Lennon at Madison Square Garden in 1972. Her many hits include "Brand New Key," "What Have They Done To My Song Ma," "Lay Down and The Stones" and "Ruby Tuesday."
Gene Cornish is the guitarist of The Rascals. From 1965–70, the band recorded eight albums and had 17 singles that reached Billboard's Top 20. In 1997, as a founding member of the Rascals, Cornish was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Recently, Stevie Van Zandt reunited The Rascals to play a sold-out run on Broadway and highly-touted tour the United States. Before he was in the hit-making music machine that was The Rascals, Gene fronted his own band "The Unbeatables, which released the single "I Wanna Be a Beatle" in 1964.
Gary DeCarlo wrote and sang one of the world's most famous rock anthems, "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" under the band name Steam. The #1 hit sold over 7 million copies and has the distinction of replacing The Beatles' "Come Together/"Something" single at the top of the charts in 1969.
Greg Hawkes is best known as the keyboard player for The Cars, one of the greatest rock bands of the late 70s and 80s, but his first band, The Aardvarks, covered Beatles songs. He saw The Beatles in 1964, played keyboards on a record with Paul McCartney, and has recorded "The Beatles Uke," an entire album of Beatles classics played on the ukulele.
Fred Schneider is the front-man for the world's most famous party band, The B-52s, who have sold over 20 million copies and scored such hits as "Love Shack," "Rock Lobster," "Private Idaho" and "Roam." The group recorded a version of The Beatles "Paperback Writer," and Fred recorded a version of Beatles' hit "Coconut."
Ron Dante was the voice of The Archies. In an era dominated by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, "Sugar Sugar" was the #1 selling record of 1969 in the U.S. That same year, Dante hit the Top 10 with the single "Tracy." From 1973-1981, Dante was Barry Manilow's record producer, and even sang back-up on Manilow's recordings, including the 1974 #1 single "Mandy."
Walter Egan, best known for the 1978 gold record, "Magnet and Steel" also wrote "Hot Summer Nights" which included such musicians as Nicky Hopkins (played piano with John Lennon) and Robbie McIntosh (from The Pretenders) and Paul McCartney. He saw The Beatles live at Carnegie Hall on February 12, 1964!
Marshall Crenshaw played John Lennon in "Beatlemania" and Buddy Holly in the film "La Bamba." The singer/songwriter/guitarist's debut album, "Marshall Crenshaw" was acclaimed a pop masterpiece, and it spawned the Top 40 single "Someday, Someway." Over three decades he has released 13 albums, and has hosted his own radio show, "The Bottomless Pit," on New York's WFUV.
Ian Lloyd was lead singer for The Stories in the 70s. With one of the most distinctive and powerful voices in the history of rock music, he has been heard around the globe beginning in 1973 with his performance on The Stories' #1 hit "Brother Louie" and then "Mammy Blue."
John Ford is a London-born guitarist from the prog-rock band The Strawbs. In 2009 he won Best Indie Rock Artist of the Year from the Progressive Rock Hall of Fame and in 2010 he and the other Strawbs, were inducted into its hall of fame.

Optical character recognition (OCR) is a process by which specialized software is used to convert scanned images of text to electronic text so that that digitized texts can be searched, indexed and retrieved. The recommended software for OCR creation is ABBYYFineReader; however, Adobe Acrobat can produce high-quality OCR for clear, crisp, and structurally uncomplicated texts in a variety of languages.
Text must be scanned or digitally photographed and saved in either an image or PDF (portable document) format prior to running it through an OCR program. OCR software converts the patterns of light and dark found in a digital image of a page of text into text characters and saves them in a format that computers can search or index, such as Unicode or ASCII. OCR software generally employs a wide variety of language dictionaries. ABBYYFineReader v. 10 can read over 180 languages, as well as common programming languages, numbers, and simple chemical formulae. ABBYYFineReader can read multilingual documents, and includes dictionaries and spell-checking capabilities for 39 languages. Adobe Acrobat 9 can read over 40 languages and has some basic spell-checking capabilities. Generally, operators select the language(s) of the document from a drop down list prior to initiating the OCR process.
Most commercial software packages boast an OCR accuracy of between 97% and 99%. These rates are based on character errors, not word errors. So while 97% of characters may be accurate in an OCR'd document, only 75% of words may be spelled correctly. Any of the following factors can also affect the accuracy of the OCR:

Following in the footsteps of inFamous: Second Son, Naughty Dog is providing fans with the tools to capture their own quality screenshots of The Last of Us Remastered with the inclusion of a built-in Photo Mode. According to a report by Joystiq on July 27, the Playstation 4 remake of last year's critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic epic will launch with a Photo Mode. This mode will give gamers the ability to pause the game in order to set up and take their own pictures of the enhanced visuals of the new-gen re-release.
Once in game, players will access The Last of Us Remastered Photo Mode by pressing L3 on the DualShock 4 controller. Photo Mode will automatically pause the game and open up a new menu of manipulation options to allow gamers to set the screenshot how they see fit.
The new in-game tools give fans the ability to do things like move the camera, change focus, and adjust the lighting. After the desired composition is acquired, Photo Mode also gives players the option to select between several filter and frame choices to further customize their picture. Once fans are ready to save the screenshot, they simply have to hide the user interface and press the Playstation 4's share button to save.
While The Last of Us just released on the Playstation 3 last year, the HD remake improves on the game's visuals in several ways. For starters, the PS4 release of the Naughty Dog title will run at a native resolution of 1080p with 60 frames per second. Additionally, the new-gen remake will also features new high-res textures. These new textures will greatly improve the title's visuals which is part of the reason the new Photo Mode exists.
The Last of Us Remastered launches today on the PS4. In addition to bringing the game to the new generation platform, the re-release also includes all the title's DLC add-ons.

Washington Quotes | Washington-Washington State Game Notes
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
LOS ANGELES - Isaiah Thomas was the last guy inside the Huskies' locker room. He was soaking in a well-earned ice bath following the only 40-minute, no-rest game of his brilliant career.
It was the first thing to cool him off all night.
The midseason candidate for national player of the year scored 21 points, had 11 assists and led a frenetic, pressing defense coming out of halftime to rally the resilient, third-seeded Huskies from 13 points down to a wild, 89-87 win over archrival Washington State Thursday night. It was the last and by far the best of four Pac-10 tournament quarterfinals at Staples Center.
"I yelled at the guys and was telling them, `We don't want to go home yet!'" Thomas said, referring to the team's belief that a third loss this season to WSU would have ended NCAA tournament hopes for Washington (21-10).
And Washington moved into Friday night's semifinals at 8:30 p.m. Pacific time against Oregon.
The seventh-seeded Ducks (16-16) blew out second-seeded UCLA in Thursday night's earlier game. UW beat Oregon in Seattle, then lost in Eugene in February during the Huskies' mystifying, three-game losing streak in early February.
Who said these Huskies don't have resolve?
They were down eight at halftime to WSU. Then they immediately went on a 10-0 run sparked by vintage, intense, full-court pressure to take their first lead, only to fall behind by seven with 14:48 left. They absorbed Klay Thompson's tournament-record 43 points -- I was like, `Man, was that Kobe?" Thomas joked.
But, wait, there's more: They had their senior co-captain, Justin Holiday, shaking off the effects of a concussion. They had senior point guard, Venoy Overton, on their bench in a purple polo shirt, on suspension for the Pac-10 tournament for a legal issue that is not yet resolved. They had second-leading scorer Matthew Bryan-Amaning on the bench with early foul trouble.
Whatever. The don't-count-us-out Huskies overcame all that to win a remarkable game they absolutely had to have.
"We've had bigger wins in the past. But I don't know if we've had a more timely win," coach Lorenzo Romar said, looking relieved and spent just outside the team's temporary home in the locker room of the NBA's Clippers.
Terrence Ross made his first career start and answered the need for more offense with 17 points - five days after not playing at all. Bryan-Amaning returned from the early fouls and a long time on the bench to score 16 points, with seven rebounds. And C.J. Wilcox erupted for 16 points - including three critical 3-pointers in a row late in the game.
The thriller was tied at 73 with 5:18 remaining when Wilcox apparently began thinking WSU's maroon jerseys were UCLA's baby blue ones. The redshirt freshman, who scored 24 points last week in the second half to beat the Bruins, made three consecutive 3-pointers. Faster than you can say, "It's about time," Washington led 82-75 with 3:49 left.
To Wilcox, it was fulfilling a call to duty.
"Coach starts drawing up plays for you, and you feel you have a responsibility to step up and known down shots," he said.
WSU kept coming, pulling within one on Thompson's eighth made 3-pointer in 13 tries, and then his free throw with 49 seconds to go. But then the irrepressible Thomas scored on a drive with 39 seconds remaining to put UW up 86-83. Thompson missed an open 3-pointer, but Bryan-Amaning missed for UW.
After a layup by Thompson, Thomas - not to be denied -- answered him again with a drive and score inside to make it 88-85 Washington. WSU called its final timeout, to set up the tying 3. But the break worked even better for UW. It gave Romar an opportunity to instruct his Huskies to foul and send WSU to the line for a one-and-one, instead of playing it out and affording WSU a potential tying 3-point shot that Thompson undoubtedly would have attempted.
He never got the chance. The Huskies pressed to slow the Cougars up the floor and use time, then UW's Scott Suggs did just as Romar instructed: He fouled Reggie Moore about 40 feet from the basket with 2 seconds left.
More zaniness followed. Moore missed the free throw, and Thompson scored on a put back for WSU's 18th second-chance point of the night. Washington State coach Ken Bone yelled "Time O ... " and claimed he didn't finish the command. But the official called the time out WSU didn't have, and the Cougars were assessed a technical foul with 0.4 seconds remaining.
Wilcox made one free throw, then Holiday -- who finished with 12 points and a game-high 10 rebounds -- threw the subsequent inbounds pass from backcourt to frontcourt into a crowd of players to end this wild night.
Now UW's return to the NCAA tournament is a lot more plausible.
"That was probably the most emotional game yet for me," said Ross, who won a state championship at Portland's Jefferson High School, "because we realized this could be it."
The Huskies lost by seven at WSU (19-12) in January and by 11 to the Cougars in Seattle two weeks ago. And it looked like they were going to go down again.
Washington State held a 14-4 edge in second-chance points, led by as many as 13 in the first half, and by 40-32 at halftime.
Holiday, Bryan-Amaning and Thomas spoke up in the locker room during the break and told their teammates they weren't going out like this, giving less than a full-throttle performance.
And Romar reminded his Huskies they were down by more last March against a less-talented Oregon State team in the first round of this tournament - a tourney they ultimately won. The coach added they were playing better Thursday than they did while digging that early hole to the Beavers here last March.
Washington stormed out of the break with its signature, full-court pressure. The Cougars cowered during UW's 10-0 run. Holiday had five in the spurt. And Bryan-Amaning's acrobatic leap and tip in had UW up for the first time, 42-40, with 17:40 left.
The press jump-started the Huskies like they were back in January, 7-1 in the conference and ranked 15th in the country. They were running, pressing, stealing, getting put backs and fastbreak scores. The Dawgs exploded off their bench to greet their teammates on the floor when WSU finally called timeout to slow the run. Game - and season - transformed.
"Romar always talks about getting back to the old U-Dub, like we were playing in the beginning of the season," Ross said. Romar thought the press won the game.
"I thought it got our guys moving. It took the shackles off, where now we were not thinking, just reacting," Romar said.
Thomas' 11 assists were one-short of the conference-tournament record.
In search of the quick start and size at guard, Romar surprisingly started Ross. The streaky shooter justified Romar's decision by making his first shot, a 3-pointer, and scoring 13 points on 5-for-7 shooting in the first half. But he was still lacking defensively, not getting out quickly enough on WSU's open perimeter shooters, a reminder that defense is the reason Ross hasn't played more this season.
The choice was especially surprising because Ross did not play at all in Saturday night's regular-season finale against USC, and played just 4 minutes a week ago at home against UCLA.
"It was kind of shocking," Ross said of the decision Romar told him about on Monday. Shockingly good, it turned out.

The US could see another natural gas revolution - an explosion in domestic demand - that could limit its exports as production there levels off, Mr. Mohannadi said. Gas from unconventional resources such as shale now comprises 35% of total US gas output, up from only 1% a decade ago.
By GURDEEP SINGH
KUALA LUMPUR -- US exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG)
are likely to be limited because of growing domestic demand,
and won't greatly affect rival producers or the crude oil-based
pricing of LNG in Asia, a senior executive at Qatar's RasGas
said Wednesday.
"I don't see the US exporting large volumes," Hamad Rashid
Al Mohannadi, managing director of RasGas, told reporters on
the sidelines of a conference.
The US could see another natural gas revolution - an
explosion in domestic demand - that could limit its exports as
production there levels off, Mr. Mohannadi said.
Qatar, the world's largest LNG exporter, could face
competition from US and Canadian companies looking to export
LNG to Asian buyers.
Demand is surging in Asia, particularly in China and India, and in Japan while all of its
nuclear reactors are offline. Mr. Mohannadi said RasGas is in
discussions with several Indian buyers.
Ultimately, US LNG exports may only feed additional need for
spot or short-term cargoes in Asia, while most buyers will
continue to depend on already established LNG projects for the bulk of their
long-term requirements, Mr. Mohannadi said.
So far, only one US project has received all of the
regulatory approvals needed to export LNG.
But several have been proposed because gas prices remain at
10-year lows due to the boom in unconventional production,
while prices in Asia are considerably higher.
Gas from unconventional resources such as shale now
comprises 35% of total US gas output, up from only 1% a decade
ExxonMobil, the largest gas producer in the US, said
recently that it is exploring the possibility of exporting LNG
from the US, but the industry remains unsure of how much LNG
the US could export.
Mr. Mohannadi said planning for LNG export terminals in
Canada has progressed more rapidly, but still faces financing
challenges because of the worsening global economic
RasGas is operating at 100% of capacity in Qatar, and will
produce 37 million metric tons of LNG this year, Mr. Mohannadi
said, adding that no more maintenance shutdowns are planned
for the year.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
Is 2016 the peak for US gasoline demand?

The decision to choose a Native American memoir by the accomplished author Sherman Alexie for a community-wide reading program was bold and appropriate. Parkites pride themselves on embracing outspoken artists, especially those who highlight civil rights issues, and Alexie has earned a stack of national awards for his groundbreaking poetry, novels and screenplays.
But the decision by the Park City School District to join the Park City Library's One-Book, One Community this year by assigning a book by this controversial writer as required reading for high school students was a mistake. The uproar that is still festering several weeks after Alexie's visit to Park City High School, though overblown, has alienated a small but vocal segment of the district's constituency, has created an unnecessary and unproductive controversy and likely did not accomplish the district's goal of fostering inclusiveness and tolerance.
That is not to say the school district is entirely to blame. A good chunk of the negative impact belongs squarely on Alexie's doorstep. If his intent was to demonstrate the destructive effects of bigotry, he did not gain many (if any) converts. Instead, he enraged the very people he most needed to reach.
While a majority of the families in the Park City School District may not have been offended by Alexie's raw depiction of adolescence in "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" or by his deliberately-abrasive conduct during the workshops he led at the high school, some were. And they had a right to be.
Public schools are meant to serve a wide spectrum of constituents from widely-varying racial, religious and socioeconomic groups. Those who want to shield themselves from differing traditions should seek out private educational institutions.
With that in mind, the Park City School District has a duty to respect those who, for religious or political reasons, want to limit their children's exposure to more radical views. That is not to say the district should condone intolerance, but administrators should realize, and by law are required to, screen sexually explicit material.
In the case of Alexie's book, the district did not adequately warn parents about the nature of the material, nor did they make it clear enough that students could opt out. Furthermore, they allowed Alexie to cross the boundaries of propriety in the classroom -- boundaries that most teachers and all administrators should clearly define.
Dispute the lapse in vetting this particular book, the kids will be fine. With some level-headed discussion, they may even come out ahead when it comes to their next real-life confrontation with bigotry.
It's the parents we are most worried about. The controversy exacerbates an existing rift, one that will make it difficult to regain trust when it comes to other more important issues.
As far as Alexie goes, at some point he might want to ask himself if he wants to be known more as someone who incites antagonism, or as a peacemaker who teaches diverse people to be more accepting of their differences.

Richard Moller, Executive Director of The Tsavo Trust, has confirmed the rumors that the carcass of a bull elephant that was killed by poachers earlier this month in Tsavo East National park in northern Kenya was in fact the body of Satao, the world's largest elephant.
The iconic elephant's body was found earlier this month by Moller, but because of the severe mutilation to the corpse, he completed a search of the remaining elephants in the park before releasing the news to the public. "I had to write my official report to KWS and confirm to them that Satao is dead. It was the hardest report that I have ever written, I couldn't see past a wall of tears". Moller stated through his grief.
Santao was 50-years-old, and was the last of the great tuskers. He had taught himself to hide his tusk in the bushes when he saw strangers approaching, but because of his massive size, the poachers had no problem finding him. He had survived a previous poacher attack in March which left him with two seeping wounds in his flank.
Because the poachers have successfully killed off all the large male and female African elephants with long tusk, they have changed the genetic structure of the African elephants forever. No long will people be able to witness these massive-long-tusk beasts roaming Africa… They have been replaced with a smaller and shorter tusked species. Poaching has forever changed Africa, and the majestic elephant.

Matt Maloney: Use Social Media to Recruit, Build Clout
MATT MALONEY: Developing and executing an effective social media program is incredibly time-intensive, so make very strategic decisions when delving into social media. Bandwidth constraints are a continuous issue with every startup, so make sure your social media program addresses the most pressing business issues first.
In terms of delivering the highest return on initial investment, I would suggest establishing a social media presence to address the following issues:
Hiring. Finding the right talent for your startup is never more important than in the early growth stages. While Craigslist was the platform of choice when finding GrubHub's first employees back in 2008, a presence on LinkedIn is a necessity for any HR department. For many companies, a robust LinkedIn presence isn't an immediate necessity, and a basic page can help attract interested, savvy job candidates.
See what other startup mentors have to say about effective social media tactics and tools.
Founder clout. Effectively establishing a founder's presence and industry expertise on social media platforms can help raise the overall profile of the company. Many founders gravitate toward the usual Facebook and Twitter presence, but don't overlook the thought-leadership opportunities associated with contributing to question-and-answer networks like Quora. On these, founders can quickly establish their credibility amongst a peer group that encompasses everyone from investors to key members of the media.
Customer service. Regardless of who falls within your customer base, it is imperative that a startup dedicates resources to addressing customer needs via social media. The most obvious platform to address these issues is Twitter, but note the level of manpower required to effectively use this tool for customer service. Due to the immediacy of the platform, customers demand — and should receive — timely responses from any company. If executed correctly, a startup can convert any social-savvy customer into a brand advocate by simply addressing concerns and delivering great service.
Before embarking on a robust social media program, ask yourself if your company is ready to invest the time into developing content that will make the effort worthwhile. The most successful programs understand the need to provide value outside of espousing the company line.

I have tried several times to plant tulips and have mixed results. They all do well the first year, but after that some varieties consistently die and others thrive and spread. After a little research, I found that this is common among Holland-grown tulips. Some varieties are perennial and some aren't. I have two questions. The first is, how do people in Holland maintain and multiply the non-perennial tulips? More importantly, is there a listing of tulip varieties, showing which are perennial?
Tulip growers will claim that all tulips are perennial in the right conditions. Planting them deep, up to 8" deep, seems to help as well.
I have found that Darwin Hybrids are the best for my alkaline clay based soil in USDA zone 4. These "perennial" tulips are the result of crossing the old Darwin Tulips with Fosteriana Tulips, which grow wild.
However, without a doubt the most bombproof tulips are the species tulips. What they lack in height they make up for in toughness. Yes, they don't have the eye popping splash that their larger cousins do but for someone who likes something different and tough they will do well.

"Riddick" follows star Diesel as the antihero of the same name as the movie who is a dangerous outlaw that is searched by every bounty hunter in the galaxy. This movie finds Riddick left for dead on a planet infested with deadly aliens which leave him no other choice but to send a rescue beacon so that all those who are searching can find him.

Story Petty Officer 1st Class Adrian Melendez
Many parents will tell you that raising a child is tough. In fact, it has even been said it takes a village. Chef, maid, chauffeur, doctor, lawyer, loan officer – parents do it all. It's a full-time job where oftentimes the boss is unfair, uncooperative and usually younger than their employees by a couple of decades.
However, most parents will still say raising a child is rewarding, even under harsh circumstances – even with the most grueling of schedules – and even when it is done alone. Petty Officer 1st Class Brandie Wills is most parents.
As an active duty service member and single parent, Wills knows a thing or two about harsh circumstances. with a daily routine that starts before sunrise and ends long after night fall, she's familiar with grueling schedules and with the unexpected exit of her daughter's father from their lives, she knows what it is like to feel utterly alone.
However, adding to the list of things she doesn't have time for, there's self-pity. Her schedule doesn't allow for it. As a promising up-and-comer, Wills was named the Chief of Information's Shore Junior Sailor of the Year for 2011 and is intent on one day becoming the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy. The first secret to her success – balance between work and home life, which sometimes masks itself as more work.
"There are some days I just want to quit," said Wills. "I don't want to do the mommy thing or the active duty and the mommy thing. But I have to do it because that's what is best for us."
Wills starts her day every morning at 4 a.m. She gets herself and Sophia ready and has to be out the door of her Baltimore home by 5:45 a.m. to drop her daughter off at day care. Work at the Defense Media Activity, Fort Meade, Md., starts promptly at 6:30 a.m. and pushes on till 4 p.m., after which she has to be on her way off the base to pick up her daughter on time in order to avoid extra childcare costs.
Once she walks through the door to her home there is a noticeable look of exhaustion on her face as she climbs slowly up the stairs to the living room with Sophia in her arms. But there is no time for rest yet, she still has work to do.
"I don't have much free time. It's kind of troubling," said Wills. "I don't have a spontaneous life at all. That's the biggest change since becoming a mother. Everything has to be scheduled, and if I wake up late, or something throws that schedule off, it can really ruin the whole day," she said.
When she can set her daughter down, Wills immediately turns cartoons on the TV. This gives her just enough time to change out of uniform and begin making dinner.
On auto-pilot, Wills moves through the second part of her day. Sophia follows close behind asking question after question. Regardless of how many of these questions Wills answers, Sophia's curiosity is only satisfied momentarily before she is back at her mom's heels with more requests.
After dinner, Wills uses her second wind to play with her daughter. It is in these moments when Wills said she sees the value and purpose for her sacrifices. It's during these moments that Wills knows she owes it her daughter to be not only the jack of all trades, but the master of one – being both parents.
Sophia's father left and hasn't been heard from since, said Wills. It's only due to the casual webcam chats with his grandmother that reconfirms that he's still alive, she added.
Even before her transfer to DMA, Wills sensed that things may not work out between her and Sophia's father, but she decided to give him the benefit of her doubt and they made the long move from California to Maryland together.
"I knew back when were in San Diego that things probably weren't going to last. But we tried and moved out here together," said Wills. "I hoped he would have stayed in our life. But after he moved and didn't call to let us know he got to Las Vegas safely, I pretty much knew he was out of the picture and it was just going to be me raising Sophia."
After Sophia's father left, Wills said she fell in to a deep depression and even contemplated suicide out of the fear and anxiety of having to raise a child on her own, while balancing a military career.
"I pretty much had a break down, and I told my chief I had to go home to Ohio because I couldn't handle work at the time," said Wills, her voice dropping. "I went and got help. I got counseling and was put on anti-depressants. Sophia needs her mom. She doesn't have her dad, so she needs me," she said.
These days, even though the stress of being a single mother and Sailor haven't subsided, she has gotten a better handle on her situation and now serves as a positive example to her Sailors and to the other mothers she meets.
"She's one of the people I look to for motherly advice," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Alexandra Snyder, a mother to a daughter and pregnant with her second. "I have never seen her raise her voice to Sophia, and they are always having fun together."
Although Brandie knows she has a tough road ahead of her, she said she now has a more positive attitude about her situation as a single mother and wants to be that example of strength and resolve for her daughter and other single mothers balancing home and a career.
"It's doable. There are times when it sucks and there are times when it's awesome," she said. "But to all the single moms out there, you can do the same. Don't let anyone tell you any different."
In the end, it may not take a village to raise a child, just a dedicated parent with the spirit and ambition of one.

Please Hear What I am Not Saying
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
A beautiful and enlightening poem I ran across today. The blog that introduced me to this lovely little treasure only published the first stanza. My curiosity was in overdrive. I had to find this poem. How did this man get the words out of my heart!
Please Hear What I'm Not Saying
Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled by the face I wear
for I wear a mask, a thousand masks,
masks that I'm afraid to take off,
and none of them is me.
Pretending is an art that's second nature with me,
but don't be fooled,
for God's sake don't be fooled.
I give you the impression that I'm secure,
that all is sunny and unruffled with me, within as well
as without,
that confidence is my name and coolness my game,
that the water's calm and I'm in command
and that I need no one,
but don't believe me.
My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,
ever-varying and ever-concealing.
Beneath lies no complacence.
Beneath lies confusion, and fear, and aloneness.
But I hide this. I don't want anybody to know it.
I panic at the thought of my weakness exposed.
That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind,
a nonchalant sophisticated facade,
to help me pretend,
to shield me from the glance that knows.
But such a glance is precisely my salvation, my only hope,
and I know it.
That is, if it's followed by acceptance,
if it's followed by love.
It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself,
from my own self-built prison walls,
from the barriers I so painstakingly erect.
It's the only thing that will assure me
of what I can't assure myself,
that I'm really worth something.
But I don't tell you this. I don't dare to, I'm afraid to.
I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance,
will not be followed by love.
I'm afraid you'll think less of me,
that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me.
I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing
and that you will see this and reject me.
So I play my game, my desperate pretending game,
with a facade of assurance without
and a trembling child within.
So begins the glittering but empty parade of masks,
and my life becomes a front.
I idly chatter to you in the suave tones of surface talk.
I tell you everything that's really nothing,
and nothing of what's everything,
of what's crying within me.
So when I'm going through my routine
do not be fooled by what I'm saying.
Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying,
what I'd like to be able to say,
what for survival I need to say,
but what I can't say.
I don't like hiding.
I don't like playing superficial phony games.
I want to stop playing them.
I want to be genuine and spontaneous and me
but you've got to help me.
You've got to hold out your hand
even when that's the last thing I seem to want.
Only you can wipe away from my eyes
the blank stare of the breathing dead.
Only you can call me into aliveness.
Each time you're kind, and gentle, and encouraging,
each time you try to understand because you really care,
my heart begins to grow wings--
very small wings,
very feeble wings,
but wings!
With your power to touch me into feeling
you can breathe life into me.
I want you to know that.
I want you to know how important you are to me,
how you can be a creator--an honest-to-God creator--
of the person that is me
if you choose to.
You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble,
you alone can remove my mask,
you alone can release me from my shadow-world of panic,
from my lonely prison,
if you choose to.
Please choose to.
Do not pass me by.
It will not be easy for you.
A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.
The nearer you approach to me
the blinder I may strike back.
It's irrational, but despite what the books say about man
often I am irrational.
I fight against the very thing I cry out for.
But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls
and in this lies my hope.
Please try to beat down those walls
with firm hands but with gentle hands
for a child is very sensitive.
Who am I, you may wonder?
I am someone you know very well.
For I am every man you meet
and I am every woman you meet.

LOVE this!!! I first read it when I was 16 years old.. and it touched me to the depths of my being... and taught me to be be more than I could have imagined. It's nice to read it again now to realize just how much I've grown.
THANK YOU for visiting my page and for the support... that's actually one of my greatest fears at this point... being kicked off of SparkPeople just because I hold a minority position on a number of things!
However, since the blog is still there, I guess I'm safe for now!

Even though you posted this many months ago, I was meant to read it today. I see myself in these verses, but I am learning that we have to risk to be ourselves and we can not expect others to give us what we can not give ourselves. In a way I was disappointed that the last lines were not:
Who am I, you may wonder?
I am someone you know very well.
For I am you

For then he would be talking about self love. We must love ourselves before we can love others. But by loving others, perhaps we can inspire them to love themselves.
Thank you for your blog. It is one of those that I have added to my notes for further study and inspiration. Keep up the Spark!

The human condition... we bear the weight of mask and armor to protect the tender, vulnerable, valuable, truth within -- hiding not only from others but from ourselves -- often never to understand our own true being.

In a moment of frustration in 1969 while working with heated rods of a polymer called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Robert W. Gore (b. 1937) discovered that PTFE could be transformed into an entirely new physical state. His discovery, known as expanded PTFE or ePTFE, led to a new direction in material science and resulted in such well-known products as GORE-TEX fabric and ELIXIR guitar strings. Waterproof, windproof, and breathable, GORE-TEX fabric has revolutionized performance outerwear for outdoor enthusiasts, and ELIXIR strings are widely considered the pioneer in coated guitar-string technology.
Gore was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, the first of five children. His father, Wilbert (Bill) Gore, a chemical engineer, entered the DuPont workforce during World War II at its Remington Arms plant in Ilion, New York. From there, Bill moved to other DuPont facilities on the East Coast before ultimately transferring to DuPont's Experimental Station in Delaware. While still in transition, he purchased land in Newark, Delaware, and started building a house with help from his eldest son and the rest of the family. They would spend weekends in Newark, living in a tent while construction progressed. Once Bill officially transferred to Delaware, they lived at a friend's house until their basement garage was completed, at which time they moved in. As rooms were added, the family eventually occupied the rest of the house. After this somewhat unusual initiation, Bob Gore led a rather ordinary teenage life, playing trombone, participating in athletics, and serving in student government.
Gore's father often experimented in their basement with DuPont materials, either exploring new ideas or finding ways to use them around the house. This independent entrepreneurial bent was permitted among employees of the day, since the company viewed itself as an innovator of groundbreaking new materials like neoprene, fluorocarbon refrigerants, nylon, and PTFE. (PTFE, better known as Teflon, was discovered by DuPont scientist Roy J. Plunkett in 1938.) His father was personally excited about exploiting further applications of PTFE due to its unusual combination of physical, electrical, and chemical properties.
Commuting from home, Gore enrolled at the University of Delaware in its highly ranked chemical engineering department. In 1957, just a sophomore in college, he solved a difficult technical problem that his father faced while trying to use PTFE to insulate multiple copper conductors and fashion them into ribbon cable, a product that was finding increasing application in the burgeoning computer industry. Gore suggested a successful process, and the resulting product, named MULTI-TET cable, gave his parents the confidence to found W. L. Gore & Associates in 1958. Gore's idea led to the company's first patent, for which he was listed as the inventor. The company operated in the basement for two years and employed a number of family members, including Gore's mother, Genevieve (Vieve), who oversaw finances and administration.
In 1960 a large order of MULTI-TET ribbon cable from the Denver Water Company forced the family business to add production capacity, so Bill and Vieve built a manufacturing plant a short distance away from the house. That facility now serves as the firm's corporate headquarters. MULTI-TET ribbon cable continued to grow into new applications and, along with other products like TETRA-ETCH and pipe thread tape, helped carry the young company financially into the 1970s.

In 1962 Bob completed a doctorate in chemical engineering at the University of Minnesota. Already a board member of W. L. Gore & Associates, he signed on as an associate in 1963. In 1967 he became the company's technical and research leader. The big research challenge in the late 1960s was to develop products beyond wire and cable for computing and defense. Trends in electronics at that time made it clear that miniature integrated circuits were the wave of the future and that less cable would be needed as computers became smaller. One night in October 1969, Gore was researching a new process for stretching extruded PTFE into pipe thread tape when he discovered that the polymer could be "expanded." The discovery followed a series of unsuccessful experiments in which he was attempting to stretch heated rods of PTFE by about 10%. As it turned out, the right conditions for stretching PTFE were counterintuitive. Instead of slowly stretching the heated material, he applied a sudden, accelerating yank that unexpectedly caused it to stretch about 800%. This resulted in the transformation of solid PTFE into a microporous structure that was about 70% air.
Soon after, the company was producing a wide range of forms of ePTFE, including fibers, tubes, membranes, and custom shapes. This resulted in numerous products that included new electrical cables, industrial filters, medical implants, textiles woven from ePTFE fiber for space exploration, and laminated fabrics for outdoor activities, emergency response, and defense. The company has grown globally through these products.
In 1976 Gore was named president and CEO of W. L. Gore & Associates. In 1986 he became chairman of the board upon his father's death. He continued his father's passion for sustaining the Gore company culture, which eschewed a traditional hierarchical management structure and valued individual initiative and ingenuity, insuring that the company maintained a unique and fulfilling work environment. He undertook many strategic initiatives as CEO, improving coordination of the firm's decentralized businesses, promoting operational excellence, and implementing rigorous concept statements and fitness-for-use standards for all products. Under his tenure, the enterprise maintained its focus on product development through leadership in fluoropolymers, especially ePTFE.
In 2000 Gore stepped down as president and CEO but continues to serve as chairman of the board. He holds nine patents for his work with fluoropolymers and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering for his technical achievements. He is a recipient of the Society for Chemical Industry's Perkin Medal, the highest award in the United States designated for an industrial chemist, and the Winthrop-Sears Award from the Chemical Heritage Foundation.

While NASA's former Deputy Administrator infamous called for the cancellation of the Space Launch System, asking sarcastically, "Where is it going to go?" a group of scientists think they have part of an answer, according to a January 14, 2014 report by the space agency.
Both human space flight experts and planetary scientists gathered at the Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG) meeting in Tucson, Ariz. where the capabilities of the SLS for sending probes to the Outer Planets were touted.
The first iteration of the Space Launch System, due to launch in 2017, will be capable of launching 70 metric tons to low Earth orbit. This will give it plenty of power to boost large scientific probes by a direct route, cutting trip times substantially.
Currently probes like Juno and before in Cassini and Galileo are obliged to tank circuitous routes to destinations like Jupiter and Saturn by flying close by planets like the Earth and Venus to gain a gravitational boost. This is an effective manner of accelerating these probes to get them to the Outer Planets, but it is time consuming.
With a rocket like the SLS, quite a few dream expeditions to the Outer Planets and their moons become possible. Probes could be sent to Europa, a moon of Jupiter, and Titan and Enceladus, moons of Saturn. Uranus and Neptune could be orbited by their own equivalents of Galileo and Cassini, exploring those worlds and their systems of moons as thoroughly as has Jupiter and Saturn.
Of course such dream expeditions will take money and commitment. It will mean increasing the planned production of Space Launch System rockets. But it seems that, given resources, the heavy lifter will be just as much of a boon to robotic space exploration as it could be for sending humans beyond low Earth orbit.

It is better to do cardio before your weight training under certain circumstances but ideally you should do your weight training before your cardio.
If your only goal is to improve your aerobic and cardiovascular conditioning or lower your blood pressure, it makes sense to put your top priority first. This is goal specific.
You can also get away with doing cardio first if you brought a pre-workout snack with you or intend on visiting the snack bar after you do your cardio. Still, you'll only want to do this periodically to get the best overall results.
Weight training at the intensity necessary to generate results requires adequate energy supply, unlike cardio. While cardio you can do on an empty stomach and still experience best results such as fat burning and endurance and cardiovascular improvement, weight training demands for immediate adequate energy supply to trigger the similar caliber of its' benefits.
If you do your cardio first without eating a good snack in between going to your weight training, it will be like lifting weights on an empty stomach because you will have depleted much of the available sugar, complex carbohydrates, and fat you need for an effective weight lifting session that will trigger the tone, definition, and strength gains you're going for.
The best results from weight training occur because during your workout and sets, you have the available energy your body needs to take the set to a point called overload. This is basically muscle failure with good form, where you do one or two more reps or a pound level of weight you never did before, and this can only be done effectively when complex carbohydrates are available. The reason why is because whether you realize it or not, by the time you approach failure on a set of an exercise, your body's heart rate will pass your "anaerobic threshold", which is approximately 80% of your max. When this happens, your body's energy use system automatically goes from primarily using simple sugars and fat to complex carbohydrates in order to keep going and performing.
Remember these extra reps you need to get to produce the best results can only be reached if you can perform anaerobically, or above that 80% heart rate level. So you must have fresh available complex carbohydrate energy in order to do this. It can be argued that ketosis can occur if you excessively train with weights at an anaerobic level on an empty stomach. However, you definitely will not be able to perform well enough to generate the muscle definition and sculpting or strength as you would with good fresh fuel available.
If you are going to do cardio before weights, be sure to pack a snack. An energy bar or protein bar is a quick easy meal you can use after you do and before moving onto weights. This way you still get the most effective lift possible. But if you're looking for the ideal approach, do your weights before your cardio. Not only is this the most effective way, but it also sets up for ideal fat burning on cardio.
When you've used up all your complex carbs on your weight training, and toned and defined your body to the max as a result by doing weights first, when you move on to cardio, all your body has to use as fuel is stored body fat, which for most people is the true purpose of it.

The renowned artist-musician Moby's exhibition of remarkable, large-scale photographs, entitled Innocents, opened on Friday, February 21 and continues through March 30 at Project Gallery in Hollywood.
As a follow-up to his 2011 acclaimed photography exhibition Destroyed, Innocents is based upon the premise of documenting the strangeness and the beauty of an unfolding apocalyptic world. The vivid photographs were created in conjunction with Moby's highly praised, atmospheric album Innocents, which was released in October 2013.
Moments before the opening of the show, Moby discussed the photography exhibition and his new album.
Lauren: How does this photography exhibit reflect the Innocents album?
Moby: Well, they are both a response to my moving to Los Angeles. And to me, in a very general sense, there are two sides to life in Los Angeles: there is the domestic side and the natural side.
The domestic side is the Farmer's Market, listening to NPR, petting a dog in the backyard, making spaghetti, and going to Whole Foods. LA does have this very nice, sort of gentle, domestic side to it. And the album that I made I think is very much part of that.
And the other side is the fact that, unlike most cities, we have this corridor, this corridor of civilization, corridor of people from Tijuana to Santa Barbara. And west of that is the world's biggest ocean that doesn't support human life. And east of that is a vast uncaring desert that doesn't support human life. So, this contrast of suburban LA life with the fact that like a few inches away is emptiness.
You know, because most cities don't have that. Like, if you are in New York, you go a few miles, you're in Philadelphia or New Haven or Providence. You look around and you see more people. And here, you look south and you see more people. You look north and you see more people. You look west and you see nothing. And you look east and you see this vast expanse of life threatening nothingness. And that is much more the inspiration for the art show.
Continue to part two of this interview as Moby discusses his creative process in photography and in music>>

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Arizona Interim Head Coach Russ Pennell:
"It was an incredible win. Today's game was a great picture of what happens when you don't give up. It was a great team effort."
"Brendon (Lavender), Fendi (Onobun), and Garland (Judkinds) brought some great energy from the bench, which helped a lot."
"There were some effects from Wednesday's game that were noticeable in the first half. Everyone was discouraged with the loss. In the second half, the technical suddenly lit a fuse. We were trying to win instead of thinking about the past."
"The guys didn't back down in the end. Chase and Nick both played with 4 fouls for a long time. Because we still had a lot of time outs, we were able to switch them out with people that were still able to foul, and we knew who we needed to foul."
"The refs made the right call tonight concerning the technical. I didn't see it happen, but when I turned around, I saw Chase getting up and pushing. I didn't agree with his technical, but the refs explained it to me, and made the right call."
Arizona Player Quotes
Junior Forward Chase Budinger
On the comeback:
"The biggest thing I can say is that we never quit. When everyone thought we lost the game we just kept fighting, kept knocking down shots."
On the flagrant foul on Aubrey Coleman:
"He stepped on part of my face and part of my shoulder. I still have a little bit of his shoeprint on my jersey. It was without a doubt deliberate. The charge happened four or five feet in front of me and he walked over and kicked me in the face. I think it helped us out a lot. It definitely helped us. It got our team going, but it got their team going too. The crowd got really into it. Playing at home we were able to feed off the crowd, they gave us a lot of energy. It kind of shifted the momentum to us, even though we were down by 12."
"The coaches were very proud of us. They proud of the way we fought. I hope this gives us momentum and we can carry it over to the next game, and even the rest of the season."
Junior Guard Nic Wise
On the three to tie the game:
"Coach Dunlap told me to go for the three or go to the rim. I guess you could say I got tired of fouling and hoping they missed free throws, so I saw an open shot and took it. It felt good."
On Houston's pressure defense:
"When a team plays as much pressure D as they do it opens up a lot of lanes for quick guards like myself. I knew I was going to be able to do some of those things."
Junior Forward Jordan Hill
"We just never gave up. We just kept fighting. We were down nine or ten with a minute left and we just kept fighting. When Nic knocked down that unbelievable three to send it into overtime, we got together and knew we to fight hard and finish it off."

Fifty years ago, on Jan. 8, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson used his State of the Union address to call on our nation to launch an "unconditional war on poverty," a national commitment resulting in programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Head Start, Pell grants, expansions to Social Security and nutrition assistance.
Some policy makers will claim that we launched this war, and poverty won, as our nation today struggles with 46.5 million people under the federal poverty line, about $23,500 for a family of four.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, more than 7 percent of Indiana households use liquefied petroleum gases, LPG or propane, to heat their home. In southern Indiana, the vast majority of homes and businesses use propane, especially in rural areas.
This winter has been exceptionally cold, highlighting the importance of keeping the flow of propane uninterrupted.

Aheead of the release of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," the film's writers have hinted at their plans for the upcoming third film - namely from what comic storyline they plan to borrow. Scribe Christopher Markus tells Den of Geek:
"We've definitely set out on a more realistic road in the Cap movies, you know. Even more grounded than in the other MCU movies. And so it kind of rules out Cap fighting the Dinosaur Man or something like that.
There are some that aren't gonna start and other ones that -- I mean there's a couple we're playing with right now that we really want to take elements from. Which we'll not reveal. All I'm saying is psychotic 1950s Cap."
In the comics, there was a story arc in which a different man is injected with the super serum to take over the Captain's responsibilities after he's lost in the Arctic. The treatment has psychotic side effects, so he's eventually placed in suspended animation and later revived in an attempt to kill The Falcon.
McFeely added that they would like to some threads brought up in the first two movies:
"Oh yeah, you can probably predict some of the threads we would like to pick up again that we've laid out there. And we always go back to the comics and dive back in and look at anything we've missed in the last few years that might be relevant."
Asked if there's any intention to bring back the Red Skull from the first film, Christopher Markus says:
"We didn't want to bring back the Skull so soon... Let alone have him inside the head of somebody else. There were just some things that would be much tougher to do on screen as they are in the comic... I only said that because I think it's fairly clear he didn't die in that first movie but [frick]ed off into Wonderland."
Also today a new IMAX poster for the movie is out which you can see below:

An Evening with Boz Scaggs
The Memphis Tour
Presented by Hennepin Theatre Trust
State Theatre
Tue, September 30, 2014 at 7:30pm
$53.50 to $63.50
Playing all his hits!
Boz Scaggs, the Grammy Award-winning vocalist, platinum-selling legend, guitarist and songwriter will perform a full evening of his hits with his band including songs from his most recent album Memphis.
Memphis was recorded at Willie Mitchell's legendary Royal Studio in Memphis, where the late Mitchell recorded Al Green and other Hi Records artists. The album, with cuts including "Cadillac Walk," "Rainy Night In Georgia," and "Mixed Up Shook Up Girl" was produced by the notable Steve Jordan (John Mayer/Keith Richards) who also played drums. Other "Memphis" contributors are Willie Weeks (bass), Ray Parker Jr. (guitars), Spooner Oldham (keyboards), the Memphis Horns and Lester Snell (string arrangements).
William Royce Scaggs' ("Boz" is short for his nickname "Bosley") storied career began in 1965 with his first solo recording "Boz." He quickly developed into an iconic singer/songwriter playing with Steve Miller (the pair later attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison) on several highly successful projects and honing his rock and R&B chops with the likes of the Muscle Shoals rhythm section and Duane Allman. Scaggs hit it big in 1976, with multi-platinum sales for Silk Degrees featuring hits like "Lowdown," which won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song, "Lido Shuffle," "What Can I Say" and the ballad "We're All Alone."
Born in Ohio and raised in Texas with an abiding respect for a wide spectrum of American roots music, Scaggs has combined rock, jazz, R&B and blues to create a distinctive, trademark sound. With an extensive career that has spanned 30 years and garnered many accolades, Scaggs has proven himself as one of music's most creative and original artists.

JWC TO KATE STERLING ; 19 November 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18531119-JWC-KS-01; CL 28: 318-319
5 Cheyne Row / Saturday [19 Nov. 1853]
My gracious! What is this about the Capt having "thrown up his guardianship"?1 Is it true? How did come to pass? As you have not written to tell me yourself the wonderful news, I should decline to believe it. only my authority is so good—Darwin, who was told by Snow Wedgwood, who was told by Mrs Maurice.2 Then to be sure Snow is very deaf—she might mistake—at all rates tell me at once how it is— Perhaps you know that whoever was your Keeper it would make no difference for me—that I should be proscribed by the Maurices as much as by the Capt— If [it]3 is possible! I am not to the Maurice's minds I dare say, and all this nonsense of the Capt's may have marked me "dangerous," to their imaginations. Still with people of good sense and good breeding, one can always hope to overcome prejudices and I have no fear but I shall be able to convince the Maurices in course of time that you have nothing to apprehend from "brave and unfortunate Poles"4 in visiting at my house, and just as little to apprehend from my own "opinions" or "principles" Bah! I could burst out into such a sacred rage over all that cursed humbug! and I fancy what your Father would think of it! But I will have patience—as I have had so long— If the Capt could only understand that I am not on the pinnacle of earthly felicity while he is in the profounds5 but on the contrary that I am always very suffering in my nerves and stomach—always very sorrowful at heart—as others besides him are apt to get with years and losses. He would be ASHAMED to try or to wish to add to my troubles the least hairs breadth— But he thinks only of himself recognises only his own troubles and hence all this dispeace My cold is going but not gone yet—my new servant continues so perfect that I am rather frightened at her— The silent room is the noisiest in the house. Mr C is very much out of sorts—I think as little as possible— In a couple of weeks or so we shall be off to The Grange— I dont care for how long— There I shall at least be out of the "valley of the shadow of" cocks! Love to Lotta and Julia— Your affectionate
