3/18/16 - A very successful road trip through the NHL's Central Division has the Los Angeles Kings enjoying a winning streak and solidifying their spot at the top of the Pacific at the same time. Beating both the Stars and the Blackhawks in back-to-back evenings, LA outpaced the competition 10-2. Goalie Jonathan Quick is a force in the net, and despite his large frame—he's six foot one and 218 pounds—he's flexible and agile. His continued presence will be a huge asset to the team as they make their way to the postseason. The Bruins will be the next team to tackle the Kings this Saturday, March 19, at the Staples Center. Tickets can be purchased today for $76.
2/10/16 - Coming up shy of the postseason has definitely seemed to motivate the Los Angeles Kings in 2016, as they currently lead the Pacific Division by a respectable margin. The San Jose Sharks trail L.A. by six points through 50 games, but with a daunting five-game road trip on the horizon, the Kings are going to need to buckle down in a big way. They'll open with the New York Rangers on Friday night before moving on to face the New Jersey Devils. Then it's off to Washington for a battle with the Caps, and you can get tickets to be there live! Kings at Capitals, Tuesday night—get your seats from $28 today!

The Kings were not going to let that stand and came out in the second quarter and scored four goals, thanks to Jake Muzzin, Alec Martinez, Marian Gaborik, and Dustin Brown. Not satisfied with a 4-2 lead at the end of the second, Brown and Vincent Lecavalier scored in the third period to bring the final score to 6-2.

1/20/16 - The Los Angeles Kings are certainly doing well this season, but they are having a little trouble gaining consistency recently. They have only managed to win two consecutive matches once in recent history, which was against the Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars on January 17th and 19th. They followed these victories up with a disappointing 3-0 loss against the Minnesota Wild. The Kings still maintain the top position in the Pacific Division, but the San Jose Sharks are catching up fast, now just one win behind.

The end of negotiations will be a relief to Kings fans, who have endured more than six months waiting for all the paperwork to be signed. The Kings have won two Stanley Cups in the last four years and are sitting pretty at the No. 1 spot of the Western Conference's Pacific Division. They will look to add to their impressive 29-11-4 record this Saturday against the Senators. Get your tickets today for $56 and up.
1/6/16 - Leading the Pacific Division by a double-digit margin, the Los Angeles Kings have to be feeling pretty good about their chances of returning to the NHL playoffs in 2016. After winning it all two seasons ago, L.A. failed to make the postseason cut last year to defend their crown. They closed out 2015 with four straight wins and made it five straight with a 2-1 decision over Philadelphia on 1/2, but fell to Colorado to reset the streak. The Kings will now enjoy a four-game home stand and you can be a part of the action with tickets for Staples Center! Come out for St. Louis vs. Los Angeles on Saturday with seats from $16 and up!
12/30/15 - It has been such a long time since the Los Angeles Kings were playing on their own rink, and they were struggling with the extended series of away games at first, but it looks like they have finally found their footing.

This brings their season record to23-11-2 and further cements their spot at the top of the division.

12/21/15 - Was a six-game road trip simply too much for the Los Angeles Kings? After starting strong with a pair of wins against the Blue Jackets and the Penguins, the Kings seemed to lose steam and lost three of the remaining four matches. It's no secret that this is a team that struggles on the road; it cost them a run in the playoffs just last season. While the club has made some changes to make traveling less stressful, the team has to perform better away from home than they did this trip. The Kings will play the Sharks this Tuesday, Dec. 22 at the Staples Center, then will be back on the road for the next four.
12/16/15 - Are the Los Angeles Kings finally starting to crack? It looks that way after back-to-back losses on Saturday and Monday, both of which came on the road.

Los Angeles will remain on the road for their next two games. On Tuesday, December 22, they will return home to play the San Jose Sharks.

11/25/15 - The Los Angeles Kings are considered to be one of the best teams in the league this season.

The Kings did not show their trademark style in their puck possession and defense on the game. The Kings will look to do better when they host the Arizona Coyotes at home on October 9. You still have a chance to get your tickets to see the game in person, as well as any other games this season. Ticket prices start at just $3.
9/15/15 - The Los Angeles Kings are all set to begin the new hockey season, but they will have to do it without one of their defensemen.

He is voluntarily leaving the country for his homeland of Russia. The team is moving forward despite the setback, and will rely on the help of Drew Doughty and the newly signed Christian Ehrhoff to make up some of the slack of Voynov's departure. Their first preseason game is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 22, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Get your tickets for the Kings vs. the Coyotes from us today with prices that start at just $9.
2014-2015 Season
4/6/15 - It's not over yet for the defending Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings. With four games left to play, the Kings have moved up to claim the tiebreaker with Winnipeg, and currently hold the second wild-card spot in the West – which would put them up against the top team in the conference, likely their I-5 rivals down in Anaheim.
3/30/15 - Can they do it again, or will they fall short? That's what Los Angeles Kings fans are asking of their team, who are in ninth place in the overall Western Conference standings; the Kings are definitely within reach of a playoff berth, however, just one point behind Calgary and two behind seventh place Winnipeg.
3/23/15 - Could the L.A. Kings be in danger of not being able to defend their Stanley Cup in 2015? It's a legitimate question, as the team sits in ninth place in the overall Western Conference standings, two points behind division rivals Calgary; however, the Kings have become notorious of late for sneaking into the postseason.
3/17/15 - With just over a dozen games remaining in the regular season, the defending Stanley Cup champions are trying their hardest to earn an opportunity to defend their title. The Los Angeles Kings sit just a single point behind the Winnipeg Jets for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference, having missed an opportunity to vault themselves into playoff contention with their 2-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The Kings held a 1-0 lead for most of the game, but were shocked by a pair of goals by Nashville in the third period. L.A. will look to get back on track versus Arizona on Monday night before heading down I-5 to face the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center. Get your tickets for as low as $54!
3/9/15 - If the L.A. Kings hope to defend the Stanley Cup this spring, they're going to have to start their finishing kick soon. The Kings are currently ninth in the Western Conference at the moment, two points behind division rival Calgary, but the Kings have a game in hand still.
2/23/15 - They are, at the moment, the hottest team on ice. The Los Angeles Kings have won their last seven straight, after a three-game losing streak, and have moved up to join division rivals San Jose and Calgary in a tie for third place in the Pacific Division, three points behind Vancouver.
2/19/15 - The L.A. Kings have woken up of late. Winners of their last five straight, the defending Stanley Cup champs have returned to within striking distance of their Pacific Division rivals in San Jose (two points ahead); Calgary, and Vancouver (three points up).
2/9/15 - The L.A. Kings broke a three game losing streak to end January and kick off February, emerging victorious on the road against Atlantic leader Tampa Bay. The Kings still remain six points behind their next rivals in the standings, Calgary and Vancouver.
2/2/15 - Over their last 10 games, the L.A. Kings have won just twice – both victories coming at home in the Staples Center, over Toronto and Chicago. The Kings dropped their last game, on the road in Boston, to fall 16 points behind division-leading Anaheim.
1/26/15 - Now that the All-Star break is past, it's time for the Los Angeles Kings to get to the business of returning to the playoffs. The Kings are in fifth place in the Pacific Division, and ninth place overall in the Western Conference, a point back of division rival Calgary.
1/19/15 - As the season progresses, the divisions within the Pacific Division itself are becoming clearer. As Anaheim increases its lead in the division, they're followed by a pack of four other teams – one of these being the defending Stanley Cup champs, the L.A. Kings, who are tied for fourth in the division with Calgary.
12/22/14 - The Los Angeles Kings, after dropping three straight losses, have rebounded with back to back wins, at home over St. Louis and Arizona, to stay within shouting distance of first-place Anaheim. The victory over the Coyotes was a come-from-behind effort; the Kings scored three unanswered goals to claim victory.
12/15/14 - While their rivals down Interstate 5 in Anaheim are running away from the pack, the Los Angeles Kings, along with most of the other clubs in the Pacific Division, are going backwards. The Kings have lost their last two in a row, but are just two points behind Vancouver and San Jose.
12/8/14 - The Los Angeles Kings are playing superb defense – they're third in the league in goals allowed per game, at 2.1, and are killing penalties at a rate just over 85%. Unfortunately the offense isn't keeping up; their 2.6 goals scored per game and power play percentage are both just middling leaguewide.
12/4/14 - As Golden State threatens to pull away at the top of the Pacific Division, the Sacramento Kings find themselves headed in the opposite direction after losing four straight. On top of that, center DeMarcus Cousins is in the hospital for treatment of a viral infection.
12/1/14 - In the middle of the Pacific Division, in fourth, the Los Angeles Kings are meandering through the regular season as they've done in previous years. The Kings dropped two of three on a recent road trip, followed by a third loss (to Chicago) in four games.
11/25/14 - After a trio of victories which included their 10th home win of the season, the Los Angeles Kings dropped a close one in Dallas, 5-4. The Kings' loss to the Stars came on a night in which the home team honored long-time NHL star Mike Modano.
11/17/14 - As teams in the Pacific start to gain some separation, the L.A. Kings stand in fourth place, tied with fellow Californians San Jose while lagging four points back of Anaheim. The Kings last win, in fact, came against their neighbors from Anaheim, a 3-2 overtime win.
11/10/14 - Here's a name to pay attention to, and on the defending Stanley cup holders: Tyler Toffoli. The Kings' third-year center is leading the team in goals scored, assists, points, and plus-minus.
11/3/14 - While most of the NHL has broken quickly out of the gate to start the season, the defending Stanley Cup champs, the Los Angeles Kings, have hit a rough patch in their chase for this year's Cup. At one point being hot on the heels of Orange County rivals Anaheim, the Kings have lost four straight and sit six points back of the Ducks.
10/27/14 - While their rivals down the 5 Freeway are setting the pace in the Pacific Division, the Los Angeles Kings are not far behind. With wins over a pair of visiting Eastern Conference squads, the defending Stanley Cup champs are just a point back of Anaheim.
10/23/14 - It's a sign of the changed sports atmosphere post-Ray Rice. Los Angeles Kings defenseman Viatcheslav (Slava) Voynov was placed on indefinite suspension by the NHL following the player's arrest for domestic battery in Redondo Beach.
The Los Angeles Kings gifted hockey fans perhaps the most miraculous Stanley Cup run in NHL history. After storming through the Pacific Divison as the No. 3 seed, the Kings advanced to playoffs, where the fun really began—or rather, hinged somewhere between nirvana and nervous breakdown. Los Angeles stretched three series to Game 7s, and proved to perform best with their backs against the wall even against epic Western Conference opponents (San Jose, Anaheim and Chicago). GM Dean Lombardi and crew took the world of hockey on a roller coaster ride, chock-full of highlight reel moments and instilling NHL fever in Southern California on their path to a second Stanley Cup in three seasons. Their recent ride has forced the rest of the league to ponder the makings of a Los Angeles dynasty, causing Kings tickets to be among the most coveted on the market.
The upcoming 2014-2015 season is highlighted by the Kings vs. Sharks outdoor game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 21. This will be one of the more popular NHL Stadium Series games, and currently starts at a $97 minimum. The Kings will open up their season against San Jose, for an Oct. 8 rematch of last year's first playoff round at Staples Center. LA Kings tickets to for this home game, where you'll witness the Stanley Cup banner unveiling ceremony (in front of the bitter Sharks, no less), start at $130 in the Upper Level. Title runner-ups, the New York Rangers, will visit LA on Jan. 8. Score your Los Angeles Kings tickets now and see if the defending champs can pen their names in history books with a third cup in four seasons!
The championship-winning team return generally in-tact, excepting the loss of defensive pillar Willie Mitchell, who signed with the Florida Panthers. The offense returns every player including Marian Gaborik, who inked a seven-year contract, while the unstoppable tandem of Jonathan Quick and Martin Jones returns to goal. This team is so fully loaded—with an incomparable core comprised of Dustin Brown, Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar—that it's hard to imagine a dreaded "Stanley Cup Hangover" is in the cards.

CAIRO, Egypt (WOMENSENEWS)-- It was two years ago today that Egyptians began flooding the streets to protest decades of tyranny and corruption, marking the start of a revolution that drove former President Hosni Mubarak from power.
Activists focused on the danger of mob sexual assault aren't planning to join Friday's massive celebrations set for downtown Cairo. Instead, they plan to patrol the capital's iconic Tahrir Square, on high alert for women in need of bodily rescue.
"The main objective is to get the girl out. It is crisis management," says Eba'a El-Tamami, marketing and communications unit head for HarassMap.
Based in the capital, HarassMap collects data about harassment, conducts community awareness and outreach programs and is part of a campaign called Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment-Assault, which draws strength from a coalition of groups.
The organization's goal, says El-Tamami, "is to counter what we suspect are organized, mob sexual assaults."
Verbal sexual harassment is a common nuisance on Egyptian streets. However, HarassMap and other groups claim these mob attacks constitute something far more sinister.
"We think it's organized and planned," says El-Tamami. "We think it's probably paid thugs, but we don't know who is paying them. There are quite a few eye-witness reports . . . People who have had this happen say it's very difficult to imagine this is random or sporadic . . . . I don't want to speculate but there are definitely people who have interest in positioning the square as dangerous and make protesters look like harassers or thugs."
Female victims have turned to social media to share their harrowing experiences. Some recount being stripped, molested and beaten with weapons. Others say they faced even worse tortures, such as kidnapping and repeated sexual assault.
In response, nonprofits, women's groups and human rights organizations in the capital formed the Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment-Assault campaign to intervene and rescue victims from mob attacks.
International Attention
Lara Logan, a South African war reporter and correspondent for the TV program "60 Minutes" was the first victim to garner international attention after being brutally beaten and sexually assaulted by a male gang in the square on Feb. 11, 2011, while working for American network CBS. It was same night Mubarak announced his resignation.
Since then, several women have described the shocking sexual and physical violence suffered at the hands of swarming packs of men that they believe are part of organized gangs hired to cause trouble.
To prevent the attacks, male and female volunteers from Operation Anti-Sexual Harassment-Assault campaign hand out hotline numbers during major daytime protests and marches. If an assault is reported, volunteers in the group's control room direct the closest patrols to the scene.
When they arrive, patrol members--some of whom are female--insinuate themselves inside the mob, form a protective ring around the victim and do their best to keep her safe. Then, a female volunteer rushes in to help clothe the victim before volunteers hurry the victim and volunteers out of the mob and to a nearby safe house.
El-Tamami says these confrontations can be tense and dangerous. "Our objective is to not use violence, but it's possible that people get involved in it; that's the nature of these situations."
According to her, during a major protest in Tahrir Square last November, the group got between six and eight calls, some at the same time, between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. Despite the frequency of the mob assaults, no one knows who is orchestrating the violence or why.
El-Tamami and others say the social acceptability of sexual harassment partly explains why the courts have punished so few men so far. The first successful prosecution saw a man sentenced to three years in prison and hard labor in 2008 for groping film director Noha Rushdi Saleh, also known as Noha Ostadh.
Watching in Horror
Pakinam Badran, a media representative at the Cairo-based anti-harassment group Imprint Foundation, was in the square during one such attack and watched in horror as the mob surrounded its intended victim, brandishing all kinds of weapons.
"I saw two mob attacks on the same day," she says. "I stood there and watched, feeling an adrenaline rush, thinking I might know someone involved. The guys had sticks, whips, electric shocks, everything. But then a group took the woman out and made a barricade around her." Before this attack, she had personally seen only one-on-one sexual harassment. A few days before this attack, however, she had seen a televised report on mob attacks.
Like HarassMap, Imprint Foundation's goal is to make harassment of all forms taboo.
The foundation sent out its own downtown Cairo patrols during Eid holidays last year. Badran says they confronted more than 50 harassers and helped five women press charges.
The group's patrollers are male. Female members feel it is still too dangerous to confront sexual harassers and don't want to become victims themselves.
Egypt is also plagued with a culture of victim blaming, say critics, where women are told they deserve to be harassed for the way they dress, if they are wearing makeup or whether they wear a traditional Muslim veil.
"Our mission at HarassMap is to end the social acceptability of sexual harassment in Egypt," says El-Tamami. "We think that the increased social acceptability over the years is what has led sexual harassment to reach such a crisis level. If a girl screamed out 'harasser!'--which she probably wouldn't do because she is scared of what will happen--you get bystanders who might join in [the harassment], be passive or blame it on you, your hair or what you are wearing."

It was a strange funeral. Just me, my husband Bud and a one-legged chicken.
I was blubbering like a baby; Bud was punching at the rock-hard ground with a pair of post hole diggers and the chicken, wrapped in a soft towel and sprayed with ammonia to keep the neighbor's dog away, was going in the hole.
My sweet little Crippie chicken died. She was the daughter of Russell Crow - who also survived various maladies before being mauled by a passing opossum - layer of many large brown eggs and a good companion.

text: Last year was a culture shock for a lot of people, as "50 Shades Of Gray" opened eyes to a world they had no idea existed. Luckily for them, words are a soft initiation into a world they won't be comfortable in. It amused me to see people who would never have thought of such things engrossed in a sado-masochistic fantasy. But then I had a thought; it's not much different than something I've encountered. There's a degree of romantic detachment and masochism that comes along with black metal, a scene I have never been able to understand.

Winter. I think it's a safe assumption that we're all sick of it. The groundhog sacked up and braved his shadow so spring is on the horizon. Let's not forget that we're in the middle of February though. Sure, we're seeing 50 degree temps in central Indiana but Mother Nature could turn around and slap us with another foot of snow at any moment and nobody would really be surprised.
The bleakness of winter is wearing us all down, so why not bolster that depression with 10 Winter Horror Flicks?

Wreck causes U.S. 90 delays
Published: Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 1:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 10:22 a.m.
Traffic was backed up in the westbound lanes of U.S. 90 just west of La. 311 Tuesday afternoon after a UPS truck hit a semi-truck while a repairman was working underneath it, police said.
The repairman, Augustine Ortiz, of Lafayette, was taken to the hospital for broken bones, State Police Trooper Evan Harrell said.
Derek Plaisance, of Raceland, was driving the UPS truck west when he drifted into the shoulder, Harrell said. Plaisance hit the semi-truck, which had broken down. Plaisance also hit Ortiz's repair van.
Police got the call at 12:48 p.m., Harrell said. The semi-truck's driver, Jose Vilche, of Houston, was also behind the wheel at the time of the crash. He was taken to TGMC with what police described as minor injuries.
Plaisance had minor injuries but decided not to go to the hospital, police said. He is charged with careless operation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu, Public Information Officer (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; September 23, 2013) – Tomorrow, September 24, marks National Voter Registration Day, and Secretary of State Ross Miller is joining the thousands of volunteers, celebrities, and organizations across the country who are encouraging and engaging eligible citizens to register to vote or to update their information before the 2014 election. Approximately 33% of Nevadans are of voting age but not yet registered. The Secretary of State's office has made registering to vote easier and faster than ever with the statewide online voter registration system at www.registertovotenv.gov. To register online, citizens need to be at least 18 years old and have a Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driver's license or DMV-issued identification card. The application process pulls the signature on file with the DMV and applies it to the voter's registration record, which is then used for identification for all future elections. For social media users, online voter registration is also available on Facebook at apps.facebook.com/nvsosnova. Nevadans who are already registered to vote can update their address or change party affiliation at nvsos.gov/votersearch. They simply have to enter their name, date of birth, and driver's license number or social security number to access the system. "A few minutes of your time spent updating your voter registration profile guarantees the opportunity to vote in the next election," said Miller. "If someone you know is eligible but not yet registered, please do your civic duty and inform them how to register." The Secretary of State's office also offers an easily downloadable toolkit for businesses to encourage employees to register to vote in time for the 2014 elections. The customizable voter registration toolkits provide readily available information, posters, and ideas to promote registration activities, requirements, and deadlines. Toolkits are available in both English and Spanish in the Elections Center of the Secretary of State's website, www.nvsos.gov, or by clicking here. Call (775) 684-5705 or email firstname.lastname@example.com with questions or for more information.

The youth ministry department of Boonville's New Hope Christian Center will hold the aptly titled "Living Young, Wild & Saved" youth explosion weekend, beginning this Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Lion's Park will host the event where there will be games for children of all ages, bounce houses, group competitions and dance ministries.
New Hope's director of youth ministries, VerDonna Pinkett has helped organize it.
"From the youngest of kids, all the way up to 18 – we want everyone to come out. Local and almost-local talent will come in. We've got some real talent coming out – Cardell Williams is a rapper that switches up and tones everything down for the kids. He's real positive in the Sedalia community trying to do things for the youth there," she said.
"We're excited that our guest speaker will be Minister Michael Owens, Youth Minister from Creflo Dollar Ministries/World Changers Church International," said Darrell D. Luther, Sr., Bishop of New Hope.
Bishop is also a teacher for the Columbia public school system, and is consistently active in community events.
Saturday's event will not be the first that New Hope has organized. Regarding their youth, the church has been active in past Heritage Days and Christmas events, in addition to holding other youth explosion weekends – the last of the weekends being in 2010. Over 100 young people participated at the time. Pinkett expects an even higher number this year.
"What we're trying to do is bring in talent that will draw local kids to what we're doing on Saturday. We want the kids to know that there are other youth out there doing positive things out in the world and even out in the Christian community. Churches around here tend to be small and sometimes counts are low. An activity like this will gather all the youth together. We just want to give kids that feeling of being a kid that we can all remember," she said.
The Lion's Park game and show setup will have adult supervision. Parents are encouraged to come, but are assured that the environment, if they choose to drop their children off, will be drug and alcohol free. The day comes to an end at 8:00 p.m., and those that enjoyed themselves are invited to a 10:30 a.m. service on Sunday morning at New Hope's 600 6th Street location.
"Donnell McComb, from Neelyville, is an awesome speaker that'll be there on Saturday. He really speaks to the teens, to the youth. What's different this year is that our kids specifically asked for him to come. Our other speaker that's coming on Sunday, Minister Mike Owens happens to be the brother of one of our members," said Pinkett.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the crisis in Mali and how World Vision is responding to the needs of affected children and families.
The people of Mali are preparing to inaugurate a new democratically elected president on September 4, as the country emerges from disastrous conflict that began with a military coup in March 2012.
More than a million people need immediate food assistance as a food crisis lingers.
Here's a quick guide to understanding the complex situation in Mali, its impact on the Sahel food crisis, and World Vision's response to the humanitarian needs of children and families.
Rebels seized northern Mali, imposing strict Islamic law in cities like Timbuktu. The African Union deployed troops in November 2012 to quell violence in the north.
In January 2013, the French military intervened to oust the militants. International donors pledged more than $4 billion to help Mali get back on its feet.
On June 18, rebels and the Malian government signed a cease-fire agreement. And on July 1, a 12,600-strong U.N. military and police force took over to help stabilize the country.
On August 11, the Malian people peacefully elected Ibrahim Boubacar Keita as their new president in a runoff election.
Before the coup, Mali's democracy was considered a success story among West African nations.
While many have returned home, the national Commission on Population Movements estimates about 342,000 Malians still are displaced within the country from the fighting.
In addition, another 175,000 people fled to the neighboring countries of Mauritania, Burkina Faso, and Niger.
Most displaced people suffer from lack of food, drinking water, and other basic supplies. Their livelihoods have been disrupted, and they have little or no money for necessities.
Mali and other Sahel countries suffered a devastating drought in 2011, leading to severe food shortages.
The overall food situation has gotten better, thanks to improved rains in 2012, though circumstances remain precarious for millions. The 18 months of conflict has deepened the anguish for families already struggling to cope with crop loss and rising food prices.
Up to 700,000 Malian children younger than 5 are acutely malnourished. Nearly 3.5 million Malians still are considered food-insecure as they face the June through September lean season.
The U.N. estimates a total of 4.9 million children under 5 and pregnant mothers across the Sahel region remain severely undernourished.
World Vision is distributing food, kitchen utensils, soap, and other hygiene items to the displaced families. We also have resumed development programs in Mali that were suspended because of the conflict.
More than 65,000 children are registered in World Vision child sponsorship programs in Mali; almost 21,000 of them are located in areas affected by fighting.
World Vision needs $15 million in donations to provide 150,000 people with emergency food aid, shelter, access to safe drinking water and improved hygiene facilities, and household necessities for six months.
Funding will also help families re-establish their livelihoods and malnourished children and pregnant moms quickly receive the nutrition they need.
Pray for vulnerable children and families in Mali, especially for their protection from harm and for a means to escape the violence. Pray, too, for a peaceful end to the conflict.
Give a one-time donation to assist children and families in Mali and other struggling West African countries. Because World Vision has been awarded government grants, your gift to help provide emergency food, agricultural assistance, and other critical support will have four times the impact.
Give monthly to support children affected by war and conflict. Your monthly gift will help bring assistance to those in greatest need, like trauma counseling, nutritious food, clean water, medical care, protection for children living alone, and more.

About the Book
Stop letting your differences drive you apart—instead let Renee Baron, acclaimed marriage and family therapist as well as co-author of The Enneagram Made Easy and Are You My Type?, show you how to reinvigorate your relationship today. In Opposites Attract, Baron unlocks the secrets of understanding personality types using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI™). Baron's playful and practical guide to getting closer to your partner is indispensible for anyone striving to keep their relationship stress-free, fun, and loving.
Does your partner want to go out on Friday nights when you prefer to curl up at home with a movie?
Does your neat-freak boyfriend always want to clean up your cluttered office?
Does your wife want to plan trips six months in advance while you're a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of person?
The truth is, opposites attract. People who are different from each other in fundamental ways often catch each other's attention. We are attracted to the very qualities we wish we had ourselves. A shy person looks for a mate who is outgoing and gregarious to provide a social circle, and the outgoing person may need to be with someone who won't compete with him for attention. It seems like the perfect match—that is, until those very differences that originally attracted us start to drive us crazy.
But these differences don't have to drive couples apart. Renee Baron, a marriage and family therapist with more than twenty-five years of experience, uses the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator™ to provide a practical program for learning to appreciate our differences, rather than fight over them. The MBTI™ is the most widely used personality indicator in the world. By discovering your innate personality preferences and those of your partner, you can stop having the same fights over and over again and start appreciating the gifts each of you offers to the relationship.

Critical Praise

"Baron takes complicated ideas and makes them accessible and immediately useful for any couple." — Douglas Stone, co-author, Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most
"Beginning with the first page, I experienced Renee's gift for explaining type preferences in a simple, elegant, understandable and very engaging way...Renee's able to employ mutliple devices - checklists, spot-on anecdotes, and very funny cartoons - to make some complex ideas not only understandable but immediately useful in real ways." — from the Afterword by Paul D. Tieger, author of Just My Type
"With simplicity and humor "Opposites Attract" explains how to determine the personality type of the one you love and provides a clear path to greater love, understanding and communication. An invaluable tool for all couples." — Arielle Ford, author of The Soulmate Secret
"This book not only delivers on the promise of helping readers create lasting relationships, it could be described as a layman's guide to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®...The book is concise, thorough, and upbeat. The information is illustrated with cartoons--a clue to its reader-friendly tone." — New Age Retailer

Looks great, but after playing with it for a few mins found it unusable. Very kludgey; you can't highlight a task and delete it. No keyboard shortcuts.
I love the look'n'feel of this app. Great integration, and an excellent idea all-around. I was ready to buy this out of the gate, but when I tried adding multiple items, the whole app got pretty slow. By the time I had a full day's worth of events entered, it crawled through all of its functions. I was pretty disappointed.
Again, great app! But it needs some work before prime-time.
I bought this, its cheap... i'm enjoying so far! The app still buggy and also need new features like dragging and stuff. I love the UI, simple, clean and useful.... sry for my bad english!
Leopard Leopard Leopard... I'm beginning to feel discriminated as a Tiger user.

I am running 1.72 - all works fine with my PS3(s) but rendering to a couple of Samsung smart TV's we have sees the video stretched to full screen making the image 1:85 rather than 2:35 (ignoring the black bars when they should be displayed) - Any ideas why this would happen?
Nothing is being transcoded, the files are either VOB, AVI or MP4, so literally just streamed.
I'm also running Plex Media Server on the same box server and using Plex the video is fine to all devices - I know the easiest thing to do is just use Plex but I like PS3 Media Server as its always worked for me in the past so would like to iron this out if possbile.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Finish Line swung to a surprise loss in the fiscal third quarter as a weak response to its new online store hurt the athletic-gear retailer's sales. Class A shares dropped 6.5% to $17.80 premarket as the company lowered its full-year earnings forecast and guided for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings below consensus estimates.
Accuray said it is shedding about 13% of its workforce in a restructuring effort and expects significantly lower results for its fiscal second quarter as well as for 2013. Shares of the company–which developed and markets the CyberKnife, a robotic system designed to treat solid tumors–sank 20% to $5.40 premarket.
Coinstar said Thursday Chief Financial Officer J. Scott Di Valerio would succeed retiring Chief Executive Paul Davis in three months, while also projecting fourth-quarter earnings could beat company targets. Shares in the operator of Redbox DVD-rental kiosks nevertheless fell 2.7% to $50.65 premarket, as the volatile stock was undermined by strategy uncertainty and unease over earnings' drivers.
Rovi (ROVI) said it plans to sell its Rovi Entertainment Store business as it looks to focus on its core enabling technologies and services. Shares jumped 14% to $18 premarket as the entertainment data and technology company also raised its full-year profit outlook.
Harvest Natural Resources (HNR) said it has another oil discovery in a well drilled in the Dussafu Marin PSC, in the offshore waters of Gabon, West Africa. Shares of the independent energy company rose 5.3% to $9.70 premarket.
Amicus Therapeutics (FOLD) announced positive preliminary results from all four dose cohorts in a Phase 2 study for its treatment for Pompe disease. Shares rose 7.9% to $3.56 premarket.
Although Sonic (SONC) same-store sales continued to rise and costs declined in the fiscal first-quarter, investors are skeptical of potential upside in the stock Barclays analyst Jeff Bernstein said ahead of the earnings release that "maintaining positive comps is critical to their long-term model, and our concern is such sustainability, especially as two-year trends slowed significantly last quarter." He said comparisons to the prior year are getting tougher and the fast-food industry overall is becoming increasingly competitive. Shares slipped 5.2% to $10.18 in light premarket trading.
Progress Software (PRGS) fiscal fourth-quarter profit jumped as the company recorded gains from selling off several of its product lines, masking a decrease in revenue. Shares shed 4.3% premarket to $20.00.
A. Schulman (SHLM) fiscal first-quarter earnings fell 13% as the maker of plastic compounds and resins continued to post higher costs, masking higher revenue. Still shares beat analysts' expectations.
National retailers including Amazon.com (AMZN) and Macy's (M) have agreed to pay settlements totaling $1.6 million to resolve allegations that they mislabeled rayon products as environmentally friendlier bamboo, the Justice Department said.
AngioDynamics (ANGO) fiscal second-quarter earnings slipped 15% as higher input costs and expenses masked the medical-device company's improved vascular sales.
Endo Health Solutions (ENDP) lowered its 2013 guidance as it expects higher charges related to its core painkiller franchise and generic-drug business.
InterMune (ITMN) said its 2013 revenue from sales of its drug for a rare lung disease will depend largely on the timing of its launch efforts in several European countries.
Liberty Media said the Federal Communications Commission has approved its request for permission to gain effective control of Sirius XM Radio (SIRI).

CONWAY, Ark. — The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team came up just short in its Southland Conference opener, falling to Central Arkansas 66-62.
The Islanders held a five point-advantage in the second half, but saw it dwindle away, failing to make a field goal in the final 7:20. The Sugar Bears also went on a field goal drought, not hitting a shot in the final 5:20. The final 13 points of the game were scored at the free throw line, but nine of them were from the home team.
Once again, Jasmine Shaw led the way for the Islanders with 13 points, including making three of six from behind the arc. However, she failed to hit a three to tie it with seven seconds left.
Kassie Jones set a career high with 12 points, going 4-of-5 from both the field and the free throw line. Brittany Mbamalu got back in double digits, after failing to get in double figures for the first time in seven games last time out against Huston-Tillotson. She notched 10 points to go along with four rebounds on the night.
UCA's leading scorer and rebounder Courtney Duever proved her worth with a double-double on the evening, scoring 24 points to go along with 15 rebounds — all on the defensive end. Her dominance on the boards forced the Islanders to a season-low 27 rebounds compared to UCA's 38.
On UCA's first possession of the game, the Islanders forced a turnover and turned it into something, as Shaw hit Lexy Harris in the paint and she converted for the first points of the game.
However, the Sugar Bears hit a layup in transition followed by a three to jump out to an early 5-2 lead with 17:40 left to play. The teams then traded buckets, before Shaw hit a triple to tie the game up at seven.
The UCA shooters got hot though, recording the next seven out of nine points to get out to a 14-9 lead with 13:58 left in the first half. The Islanders scored on their offensive possession though, as Ashanti Plummer scooped up a missed three-point attempt by Shaw and put it home to pull the visitors within four.
Ashley Darley came back the next time down the court and got her defender in the air with a pump fake and splashed a jumper right before the shot clock expired to make it a 14-13 score with 12:27 left in the first.
Once again, the Sugar Bears did not let the Islanders get any closer, as a pair of free throws followed by a three put UCA back up by six and forced the Islanders to call their first timeout of the game nearly midway through the half.
A&M – Corpus Christi responded with Shaw hitting a jumper to pull the Islanders within four, but UCA recorded the next four points again to jump out to an eight-point lead — its biggest of the first half.
However, Jones went on a 6-2 run by herself to pull the Islanders back within four, making it a 25-21 with seven minutes left on the clock.
Once again, the Sugar Bears responded with a bucket of their own, but Mbamalu drained her first three of the game to make it a one-possession game with the score set at 27-24 with just a little under six left to play.
Just like the rest of the first half UCA had an answer though, scoring the next six out of eight to push it up to a seven point Sugar Bear lead.
A three by Alissa Campanero pulled the Islanders within four before the team traded a pair of buckets to finish the half with the Sugar Bears leading 35-31.
To start the second half, it was UCA who got on the board first, as Duever hit a jumper to push the Sugar Bears' lead up to six.
However, Shaw got into one of her hot streaks, busting back-to-back triples to tie the game at 39 for the first time since it was 7-7. A Harris layup then put the Islanders up by two for the first time since they scored the first basket of the game.
Another Duever jumper tied the game up at 39, and the score remained knotted three minutes later at the 12:44 mark, this time at 45 a piece.
The Islanders regained the lead just 37 seconds later, as Mbamalu canned one from behind the arc with a hand in her face to put A&M – Corpus Christi up by three. Another 40 seconds later, it was Jones making a layup to extend the Islanders' lead to 50-45 with 11:27 left to go.
Duever kept her point total soaring with a jumper to cut the lead back to three, but Darley hits a pair at the line to push the lead back to five with the clock just under 10 minutes.
UCA then scored the next four to cut the lead down to one, but then Jones set a new career high with a runner to give her 10 points on the game and put the Islanders up 54-51. She then got the next points with a layup in transition to extend the Islanders' lead up to five with 7:20 left on the clock.
However, the Sugar Bears went on a 7-2 run to cut the lead to just one. A free throw by Darley doubled the lead, before UCA came back to hit a pair of free throws to tie the game up at 59 with 5:05 left on the clock.
The Sugar Bears then came back to hit five more free throws in a row to push the lead back up by five, going up 64-59 with 1:56 left to play.
The free throw contest continued, as this time Shaw hit a pair of free throws to pull the Islanders back within striking distance, as it was then a 64-61 game with 1:13 left.
A&M – Corpus Christi shut the Sugar Bears' offense down on the next possession, but bailed it out with a foul right before the shot clock expired. However, the shooter only made one of two from the line. It was then a 65-61 game with 49 ticks left.
The Islanders could not convert on their offensive possession with an offensive foul called on the visitors, but they did force a turnover off the inbound play. After the turnover, Darley drew a foul, but could only hit one of two from the line to pull the Islanders within three with 25 seconds left on the clock.
The press continued to give the Sugar Bears fits, as A&M – Corpus Christi forced another turnover and called a timeout with a chance to tie it with 24 seconds to go. Unfortunately, the three by Shaw was blocked with seven second left, and, fittingly, Duever hit a free throw to seal the win for the Sugar Bears.
The Islanders will now head to Oral Roberts for a Saturday afternoon matchup in Tulsa, Okla., with tip scheduled for 3 p.m.

VAIL, Colorado - Weather forecasters are predicting that snow will accumulate in the Vail area in the coming days, welcomed news in an area that hasn't seen a significant snow storm in nearly a month.
A few flurries have fallen here and there, but November was mostly dry and sunny. A new weather pattern provides hope for resorts and snow sports enthusiasts who have been wondering if winter would ever show up.
A new weather pattern shows consistently colder and snowy weather through the third week of December, however, according to powder forecaster Joel Gratz, who runs the site opensnow.com.
"I cannot promise big storms or the exact timing of storms, but I can say that things are looking up and we should be in much better shape regarding our snowpack and open terrain by the time Christmas week rolls around," Gratz reported in his Thursday forecast and reiterated again on Friday.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center is also happily predicting snow. Forecaster Tim Brown reported Friday morning that now is a good time to look at the layering of the shallow snowpack in order "to better understand how it will react to a load of new snow that is coming."
Forecaster Brian Lazar, also of the avalanche center, forecasts the heaviest snowfall to occur Saturday night and into Sunday morning in the central and northern mountains.
"Temperatures will drop towards zero overnight, and Sunday morning could see some negative temperatures," Lazar forecasted Friday morning. "It'll be a cold Sunday, but it will also be snowy. We'll take it."
Snow recreationists certainly will take it. Skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers and everyone else who enjoys playing in the snow have been worried about snowfall mostly because of bad memories - last season's snowfall didn't amount to much. A warm and dry beginning to winter is never welcomed, but it's typically tolerated when the memories of such an appalling winter aren't so fresh.
"It's just great to have snow in the forecast and to see the shift in the jetstream (finally)," wrote Katie Regan Johnson on the Vail Daily's Facebook page.
Snow lovers still have their guards up, though. Jessie Ann commented that her hopes are high, "but I'm hoping they're not too high because it's never fun to be let down."
Marty Miller expressed skepticism about the forecast on Facebook, saying he'd be surprised if the forecast produced an "entire inch of snow."
But Gratz's forecast for Vail shows a lot more than that. Saturday's forecast is 1 to 2 inches during the day and 5 to 8 inches overnight. The Vail area could see another inch on Sunday, and then 2 to 4 inches are predicted for Monday and into Monday night.
"This is very good," Gratz reported. "We want consistent, cold weather with consistent snow. Big storms are great, but consistency wins."
With consistency finally in sight, Gratz's forecasts are getting more and more exciting both for him to write, and for his loyal followers to read. And while some remain pessimistic and just plain hurt from so many recent disappointments, plenty of others are happy to see at least something in the forecast.
Gratz is one of those people.
"The long-range forecast from (Dec.) 15-22 still looks good with a favorable storm track," Gratz reported. "This is not a guarantee of big storms during that time, but at least I can say chances are good that Colorado will continue to see colder temperatures and snow in the air every few days. Waahooo!"

Groups seek automatic restoration of rights in Va.
Civil rights coalition wants Gov. to restore felons' voting rights
A coalition of civil rights groups and other activists wants Gov. Bob McDonnell to issue an executive order restoring the voting rights of about 350,000 felons who have completed their sentences.
In the last legislative session, McDonnell unsuccessfully pushed for a constitutional amendment to allow automatic restoration of nonviolent felons' civil rights. In Virginia, only the governor can restore those rights, which include voting, running for public office and serving on a jury or as a notary.
But the Advancement Project and other advocacy groups say the governor can automatically restore felons' rights without a constitutional amendment. They plan to say more about their proposal on Wednesday.
Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli also has appointed a panel to examine whether automatic restoration of rights is possible within the existing constitutional framework.

- wow! one of the best vests around. I bought one a while back and i couldn't believe how many pockets and compartments there are in it. It carries everything! It also camoflagues extremely well. I easily recommend this to anyone who has a lot of airsoft accessories and equipment. I also recommend this to anyone who has a large yard in the desert. What are you waiting for?! BUY IT!!!!!!
- Great Vest, Can carry every thing you need!!I bought this vest on sale from Shorty a while back, it was about $50 total including the shipping. This vest can hold all your stuff. I'll highlight the things that most other reviews don't mention. It has a left upper chest pocket for your radio, a large right upper utility pocket that can fit small field glasses (binoculars), "D-rings" on both shoulders to clip stuff, the included web belt has 2 pockets that can fit a pistol mag or speed loader each. The pistol holster is replacable with the included extra 2 rifle mag pockets, after removing 2 straps and peeling it off the velcro. That gives you a total of 6 rifle mag pockets if you want. Each riffle mag will hold 2 of my high cap M4 mags. I prefer the pistol holster, its in the perfect place and also includes a pistol mag pocket, perfect for extra CO2 cans or a speed loader. The black "shot gun shell" holder over the right chest is also perfect for holding CO2 canisters. The whole shell holder is attached with velcro and can be removed to add a military name badge ribbon if you want. I attach my shell holder next the my pistol holster where there is a very large patch of velcro. To my suprise when I was putting on the vest I found two very large additional mesh zippered pockets on the inside of the vest (one on each side). You could easily fit a whole bag of bbs or gloves in them. The vest easily adjusts to anyones size, do to 3-4 adjustment straps on each side of the vest (so dont be worried about the one size fits all thing).
Also beware!!!! I have seen the web belt and the extra mag pockets being sold separately for an extra $10 bucks each. Dont fall for this trick, they should all come together for no more than $50, like Shorty has it.
- freaking sweat, goshthis is the best vest EVER i have owned owened it for about six months in a different colour it has lasted longer then any of the seven vests i have torn through.
i also love this army digatal camo colour mines in desert digatal.
for those of you who are technologically challenged(dont use a radio or VOX)
the radio pouch will also hold a twinky.
p.s. this vest isnt for snipers who lay prone(on youre stomach) it will crush your mags and squish your twinky.
- Great vestI have the Marine pattern, and I have to say that is much more versatile than this, because most airsoft grounds are forests, not deserts. Other than that for those looking to keep things authentic (like me) get it regardless of the other vests you have. it will keep your gear safe, and the elastic loops are velcro so you can peel it off and put on a name/rank tag. Get some BDUs, reverse US flag decals (backwards flag means always advancing, i think) and you are set. I also think the loops on the back are MOLLE gear compatable, so get some clips and pouches for extra gear, in my opinion the holster gets in the way of your rifle, so I stuck with my faithful thigh holster and took the extra two mag pouches
- yeah. Very good.my friend has this vest (which is actually really ridiculous due to the fact that we play in the woods, but is very, VERY USEFUL when you want to hide in a field or something, as i found out the hard way... he shot me 16 times in the back of the neck before i even saw him.) Anyways, he uses a Marui AK47 and never seems to run out of those freaking mid-cap 70 round clips (which are the best in my opinion). He also weilds a DE .50 AE which he keeps in the amazing little cross draw holster, as well as a sigma S&W which he keeps in a leg holster. Basically, he's loaded, especially since those CO2 catridges can fit right in the vest. Overall, this vest is of extremely god make and will almost never let you down. My bud ran straight into this huge batch of bryer and got stuck for about 20 minutes while i kept him in there with a pretty steady stream of fire coming from my Classic army G36C (i have about 12 clips). Anmyways, the vest never even showed sins of ripping, but his pants got torn to hell. Im talking like 1 inch long pricker things. Anyways, i shot him, but the point is its really resistant. Buy it, use it, have fun.
- neededthese are great for wars carying all of ur mags. it holds everything mags, sidearms, everything, even a drink if u want for when u get thursty. i love this item the only down fall is that if u hit someone in the vest if they have this then they dont feel anything. but thats how it is with all vests so ther is no way at all to get around this problem that many airsoft players have. so shorty if u can come up with a solution for me can u e-mail it to me. thanks for looking at this
Happy Shooting CTep30
- perfectthis vest is awesome.lots of places for all your stuff!but i do agree with butt baby,don't use this snipers because if you lie prone you'll have twinky gunk in you'r mag pouch.so becareful with those dangerous twinkys.
- Great VestThe one thing i love about this vest is the ability to carry all the mags i need for my engagements and it also will carry my .50 Cal D/E.
This is a great vest !!!!
- D@ng!This thing rocks! it looks sweet! has a good weight and feel, and can hold lots of ammo and ecesories (i think thats how you spell it)
Hope this helps your dicision.
HEHE i'm the first one to write a review for this item :)
P.S. ALWAYS buy from ShortyUSA!
- Best out thereThis is by far the BEST piece of clothing you can buy for aitsoft... I mean you can go out and spend $300 for sniper camo... but lets face it, it still hurts like hell when they hit you, but not with this! Its lightweight, comfortable, ans can hold everything youd ever want (ex. i always carry areound Dirotos cuz they taste good =]) MMMMM. But anyway, if i could i would give this a 10. You know what, i think I will! ********** There! That wasnt so hard.

There are four species of lion tamarins. They are all endemic to the Atlantic forest in eastern and southeastern Brazil, and all are endangered.
Lion tamarins are among 35 species of small monkeys in the family Callithrichidae, which includes marmosets and other tamarins. Pygmy marmosets, with an adult weight up to seven ounces, are the world's smallest monkey. All of the species in Callithrichidae live in family groups, have tails that are not prehensile, live in Central and South American tropical forests, and eat mainly insects, fruits, nectar, and tree sap.
The mane-like tufts of hair surrounding lion tamarins' faces give them their name. The body length of lion tamarins is about 200 to 336 millimeters, plus a longer tail. They weigh up to 800 grams. They are diurnal (active during the day) and sleep in tree holes at night. They are quite agile leaping from branch to branch and running quadrupedally (on all fours). Family groups have a home range as small as 0.17 square mile to 0.8 square mile, some of which is defended from other groups. Lion tamarins live in an area of Brazil with the densest human population. All are critically endangered.
Population Decline
Deforestation, hunting, and commerce have caused their populations to decline drastically over the last 50 years. Current population estimates are about 1,200 for the golden lion tamarin (GLT), 6,000 to 15,500 for the golden-headed lion tamarin (GHLT), 1,000 for the black lion tamarin (BLT), and as few as 400 for the black-faced lion tamarin (BFLT).
Populations of the GLT and BLT are highly fragmented with the majority of animals in protected areas (Poço das Antas Biological Reserve in the state of Rio de Janeiro and Morro do Diabo State Park in the state of São Paulo, respectively).
Less fragmented is the population of GHLTs, located in and around the Una Biological Reserve (state of Bahia). The distribution and status of the BFLT are less well known as they were only discovered in 1990; the majority exist in the protected Superagüi National Park, Parana.
Conservation Programs
All four species are currently the subject of intensive conservation programs that, depending on the species, include
The International Committee for the Conservation and Management of Lion Tamarins (ICCM) advises the Brazilian government (IBAMA) on the research and conservation activities for these species.
IPE (Instituto de Pesquisas Ecológicas) is the primary Brazilian conservation organization working with black lion tamarins and black-faced lion tamarins.
Conservation and research efforts for golden-headed lion
tamarins are spearheaded by Dr.
James Dietz at the University of Maryland and by staff and
researchers at the Antwerp Zoo.

STANFORD -- First football. Now basketball.
Stanford stunned No. 10 Oregon 76-52 in a Pac-12 game Wednesday night, two months after spoiling the Ducks' BCS title hopes on the football field.
Nothing in recent memory could have predicted the way Stanford (13-8, 4-4 Pac-12) demolished Oregon, whose nine-game winning streak faded into oblivion under a barrage of pinpoint 3-point shooting.
In perhaps the finest performance of the Johnny Dawkins era, the Cardinal helped bring the Ducks back to reality and tightened the Pac-12 race in front of 4,816 fans at Maples Pavilion.
But forward Dwight Powell didn't sound overly impressed afterward.
"We haven't reached our goals yet," said Powell, who had 12 points and 13 rebounds despite fouling out with five minutes left. "We're still in the process of trying to prove ourselves."
Stanford proved something important Wednesday: It has the talent to become one of the country's top teams. The Cardinal had struggled against top-25 teams in its five seasons under Dawkins. It entered the game 3-11 against such teams and hadn't defeated a ranked school since a 58-56 victory over No. 17 Washington in 2011. Stanford's previous upset of a top-10 team came in 2008 at Washington State.
"It came down to the intensity and mindset," Powell said. "We were just going to dig in today."
The Ducks (18-3, 7-1) hadn't stumbled since a triple overtime defeat Dec. 19 at Texas-El Paso. Oregon was picked seventh in the preseason coaches' poll but came out roaring this month.
The Cardinal wasn't intimidated by Oregon's rise in national stature.
Stanford wouldn't budge with a concrete-wall defense led by Josh Huestis and Powell. But it also had a fortunate shooting night, making 57.1 percent from 3-point-range. Guards Chasson Randle and Aaron Bright each went 3 for 3 from beyond the arc.
Randle led all scorers with 17 points, Huestis had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Bright added 12 points.
Stanford shot 51.9 percent from the field whereas Oregon made only 34.6 percent of its shots. The Cardinal also out-rebounded the league's top rebounding team 35-31.
"I thought we'd be ready to go, I thought we'd play harder, but that's the first time we fell flat on our face this year," Oregon coach Dana Altman said. "A lot of it has to do with Stanford; they just kicked us."
Oregon just couldn't recover after Stanford's command performance over the first 20 minutes. The Cardinal rode red-hot shooting during an 18-2 run early in the half for a 20-8 lead. Randle led the charge with three consecutive baskets that included two from beyond the arc.
Oregon, on the other hand, missed all six of its 3-pointers in the half.
Altman didn't panic. "We've made up those deficits before," he said.
But it never got any easier, as Stanford didn't let up after leading by 13 at halftime. The Cardinal built a 16-point lead with 17:35 left when the Ducks seemed to lose the hunger to keep battling.
"The way we started the game, we wanted to throw the first punch," Randle said. "We knew they wouldn't stop fighting all night long. We just wanted to not let up."
