Ross, Kessy Advance in World Series Cup
B.J. Hoeptner Evans, Manager, Communications, Phone: (719) 228-6800, E-Mail: email@example.com
USAV Facebook - @USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach
LONG BEACH, Calif. (July 27, 2013) – The U.S. women's beach volleyball team of April Ross and Jennifer Kessy defeated compatriots Kerri Walsh Jennings and Whitney Pavlik on Saturday and advanced to the final of the World Series Cup, part of the World Series of Beach Volleyball, in Long Beach, Calif.
| April Ross and Jennifer Kessy embrace during their
World Series Cup match.
Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Kessy (San Clemente, Calif.) came back from a 9-2 deficit in the third set and beat Walsh Jennings (Saratoga, Calif.) and Pavlik (Laguna Beach, Calif.), 18-21, 21-17, 16-14. Ross and Kessy will play Brazil's Taiana Lima and Talita Da Rocha Antunes in Sunday's final at 1:30 p.m. PT.
After losing the first set, Ross and Kessy had a strong second set and led by as many as six points before winning 21-17. In the third set, Walsh Jennings and Pavlik jumped out to a 9-2 lead before Kessy and Ross posted their comeback, using a 9-2 run to tie the score at 11-11. They also fought off match point at 14-13 with three straight kills from Ross to take the victory.
"I told Jen afterward that that's why I love playing with her," Ross said. "I know that we can be down 9-2 and we still have so much fight, I don't doubt that we can come back. It's just a matter of calming down and figuring out what the right thing to do is."
Kessy said she and Ross wanted to take advantage of the fact that Walsh Jennings and Pavlik were a new team playing their first match together.
"We wanted to serve a lot of middle since it's a new team," Kessy said. "I hadn't seen Kerri play this year. It's only her second time… and we wanted to hold on defense and make good runs."
Walsh Jennings said the loss "lit a fire" in her.
"We should have beaten them. That's terrible," she said. "That loss is going to be with me for a little while; Every time I hit the gym."
The men's semifinals in the World Series Cup are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. PT on Sunday, with Latvia's Alesandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins taking on Brazil's Pedro Salgado and Bruno Schmidt in the international semifinal.
The U.S. semifinal will feature Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) and Phil Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) against Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Casey Patterson (Van Nuys, Calif.). The men's final is scheduled to be played at 3 p.m. on Sunday.

The men's basketball team (13-6, 2-0 Ivy) won its sixth straight game on Saturday, 74-58 over Cornell (1-15, 0-2 Ivy).
The final scoreline belied the game's competitiveness—the first 37 minutes were played within six points. Columbia finally managed to pull ahead by eight on a layup from junior forward Alex Rosenberg.
"We really had to compete and fight hard," sophomore guard Maodo Lo said, adding that he thought the Big Red team members played with "a chip on their shoulder" after Columbia's home win over the Big Red a week ago.
After the layup put Columbia ahead 61-53, Cornell began fouling. But the Lions, as they have for the last three seasons, knocked down their free throws to keep the Big Red from climbing back into the game.
Rosenberg scored at least 17 points for the sixth straight game, while Lo led the Light Blue with 20 points. Junior center Cory Osetkowski scored a career-high 19 to complement his nine rebounds, leading Columbia to a 38-25 advantage in points in the paint against a smaller Cornell lineup.
"We know he's a big force down low, and he showed that today," Lo said. "We made sure that we were feeding him the ball. He played with a lot of confidence."
Before Osetkowski caught fire, the Lions had some difficulty dealing with Cornell's full-court press, which had given them some trouble in the last few minutes of last week's win as well. But the Light Blue made some adjustments and ended up taking advantage of the pressure for some easy baskets.
"We kept it simple in our press break," head coach Kyle Smith said. "We didn't have as much clutter and confusion."
Smith added that when the Lions broke Cornell's press for some easy layups, he thought it forced the Big Red to back off a little.
Columbia will next be in action Friday at Yale.
Eli Schultz and Myles Simmons contributed reporting.

Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that Columbia's win over Cornell was its fifth in a row. It was its sixth. Spectator regrets the error.

Comments: These swimbaits look great and the square tail design is different and attractive. However, at least used on an A-Rig, the overall tail action was not as pronounced as the 5 inch Yum Money Minnows. Unless I burned or jerked the A-rig, the swimbait tail action appeared to slightly shimmy/vibrate at most. Maybe that is the intent of the tail action but past success with using an A-rig revealed the more tail action and wobble of the bait, the more strikes. I tried these swimbaits on a 1/4 oz. jighead with exposed hook but the tail action wasn't any better with no strikes.

With Sam Raimi at the helm of the ambitious "Wizard of Oz" prequel (and an "Evil Dead" remake on the way), can I get all fanboy over one of my favorite directors and rank my 10 favorite Raimi movies? Groovy.
10. "Darkman"
When Raimi wanted to make a dark superhero movie but couldn't get the rights to Batman or The Shadow, he made up his own. Pretty cool.
9. "The Gift"
This Southern Gothic tale about a small town clairvoyant (Cate Blanchett) deserves to be remembered for more than just Katie Holmes shedding her "Dawson's Creek" good-girl image by shedding her clothes.
8. "Spider-Man 3"
Worst in the trilogy? Sure. But even that lambasted piano bar dance scene was pure Raimi.
7. "The Quick and the Dead"
Raimi's flair for comic-book visuals was a great fit for this gunslinger remake starring then-star Sharon Stone and then-rising-star Leonardo Di Caprio.
6. "Drag Me to Hell"
Raimi's Ghost House Pictures released a string of horror pics that were both inventive and throwback, but the director's own return to the horror fold was a blast.
5. "Army of Darkness"
The time-traveling finale to the "Evil Dead" trilogy sated our desire for further adventures of Bruce Campbell's Ash. I just wish the studio would have let Raimi stick with his original title, "The Medieval Dead."
4. "Spider-Man"
Fans thought the casting of Tobey Maguire was nuts — OK, some still do — but Raimi's first shot at a comic-book blockbuster was a smash. This franchise didn't need the reboot it got last summer.
3. "A Simple Plan"
This pot-boiler of a thriller was Raimi's most grown-up film by a sizable distance. It makes me wish he'd decide to do more straight dramas.
2. "Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn"
Raimi's low-budget rethinking of his lower-budget "The Evil Dead" upped the splatter factor, added humor and made Bruce Campbell a cult icon. And that was before it spawned a musical.
1. "Spider-Man 2"
Until Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, this was the high-water mark for the overcrowded field of superhero movies. Perfectly paced, it was an expert blend of summer-movie action and real heart.

Our History
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden was founded upon the dreams of a few visionaries with a passion for preserving both history and nature. Though the gardens themselves are comparatively young, the work that went into creating the current gardens began long ago.
- In 1974, the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Society (DABS) adopted bylaws, elected officers and incorporated as a nonprofit organization.
- In 1977, the City of Dallas Park Board recommended that the grounds of the DeGolyer Estate, which the city purchased from Southern Methodist University, be the official location of the botanical garden. The city encouraged DABS to raise funds for the initial costs.
- During 1978 and 1979, DABS membership and awareness increased. Both business and local citizens began to support of the Arboretum project.
- By 1980, DABS had raised over one million dollars and purchased the 22-acre Alex Camp House, which is adjacent to the DeGolyer Estate. Both houses are located on White Rock Lake.
- In 1982, the City of Dallas and DABS signed a contract creating an arboretum and botanical garden on the combined 66 acres of the DeGolyer and Camp properties. The gardens opened to the public for the first time in 1984.
The home of Everette DeGolyer (1886-1956) and Nell Goodrich DeGolyer (1887-1972) was designed to look 100 years old when it was built in 1939. Mr. DeGolyer was a geologist who ushered the oil industry into the age of technology with the use of the seismograph to find oil. Both Mr. and Mrs. DeGolyer were very active in the city of Dallas. The 21,000-square-foot home is Latin Colonial Revival style with 13 rooms, seven baths, five fireplaces, seven chimneys and a 1,750-square-foot library. Architects Denman Scott and Burton Schutt also included central air conditioning and heating when building the house. When the DeGolyers originally purchased the property, called "Rancho Encinal" because of the many live oak trees, it was being used as a 44-acre dairy farm. The DeGolyer House is on the National Register of Historic Places as well as the Texas Register of Historic Places. The house was recently renovated to re-create the look of the 1940s.
The Alex Camp House is an 8,500-square-foot home, which sits atop a gently sloping hill providing a stunning view of White Rock Lake. It was designed and built by well-known architect John Staub, and was completed in 1938. Both Alex Camp and Roberta Coke Camp were from prominent Dallas families, and Roberta was a generous philanthropist who supported local civic and charitable organizations including the symphony, art museum, ballet and her church. The house is a harmonious combination of Latin Colonial, English Regency and Art Deco styles. It is one room deep throughout, creating three exposures for all living and bedrooms.

She's beautiful, intelligent and generous. She's a thinking person who wouldn't give rubbish answers to anyone. Her interview is so much interesting.ReplyDelete
Kristen has matured into a very beautiful woman. But beyond her beauty she is a highly intelligent woman and I'm old enough to be her grandmother. I have watched this young woman far before her Twilight fame always keeping an eye on her career. Love to read her interviews! I know she is not very comfortable with television interviews but boy, she has some well thought out words in her magazine interviews. As Rob has said "she speaks so eloquently". He should be so proud of her. She just seems like an "old soul" with the head of a forty year old on the shoulders of a twenty-two year old. Hope she feels the love and admiration so many of us feel for her!!Delete
I never get tired of watching her beauty, listen to her voice or read interviews, I could admire her incessantly.ReplyDelete
I agree with you 100% She's just gorgeous...ReplyDelete

Sonny Rollins Concert
June 28, 2010. Posted by Becca Pulliam.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM 2010, Jazz Alive, russell malone, Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier
A huge roar in the Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier, the biggest venue of the Montreal Festival, greeted Sonny Rollins. He entered in a flowing red silk shirt, a SHOCK of grey hair, the iconic profile, dark sunglasses, the saxophone and then the sound. The first piece was as simple as four bars, repeated, yet the more he played them, the more I wanted more. And he was generous.
He holds a note a long time, intense and penetrating, then tumbles down the ravine through a syncopated strung-out cadence you feel but can't hold onto to punch the bottom note, spin it. Love those low notes. Everything spins -- the tone, melodies, everything and as the concert progressed, it seemed to spin more. From The Very Thought of You through a calypso (not St Thomas) .. as that applause for that ended, a lady cried out "We love you Sonny!" he stepped to the mic and said "Love you back!" .. an Italian folksong in 3, They Say That Falling in Love Is Wonderful. . . He paced a bit, pumped his fist, sung two choruses of a blues about a no-good woman (has anyone seen Sonny Rollins sing before?) and it was over. I looked up toward the five white stairway-to-heaven boxes plastered to each dark sidewall of this home to the Montreal Symphony and saw people cheering for more. There was a bow but not an encore. It was complete, a concert to remember.
At the beginning of the show, Rollins received the 2010 Miles Davis Award from Montreal's Andre Menard. I'm for a Sonny Rollins Award! And right away.

you time and money. All of our spas are fully enclosed to prevent any unwanted entry from
rodents and inscets. This spa is insulated with closed cell polyurethane foam and heat
reflective material. The material (attached to the side paneling) directs heat back into the

heating results possible. The spa comes in a Platinum White (marble finish) acrylic color with
either charcoal gray or Capistrano (redwood mahogany) synthetic maintenance free side paneling.
A locking virgin foam cover matching the side paneling comes standard with purchase. Also

John,I'd say that is some of the best looking dough I have seen on this forum! It looks crispy on the surface and tender inside, which is what I am striving for.
I am really loving the pizza you made.Simply salivating to look at!Thanks for sharing all that with us!
I'm making dough today, but I used 33% poolish using 100 grams of ready starter. But my amounts are triple what you have posted, cuz I need a lot of doughballs. Now I have no idea if I should add some yeast. Why do I do these things? I just don't seem to be able to stick to the recipes, and I have to cut the poolish into 3rds to get my KA to mix the batches, cuz no way can it handle 8 pounds of dough at once. I forgot this recipe called for IDY, as I have only ADY..then I got it into my head to use starter. I bet it will all be just fine!
John,Interesting that you could use 50% prefermented flour in a dough and the pizza would turn out so great. Did you ever try out 50% prefermented flour in any other formulas before? I can understand the poolish does give a ton of flavor in a short time. Great job on your experiments! Your pizza looks outstanding!Norma
Okay, so I ended up having a few packets of IDY...I split one little package amongst the 3 batches of dough I made, so they got roughly 2.5 grams of yeast each along with the starter. I wanted to mention that I love the texture of this dough! It is ...hmmm, silky. Yeah, silky. I am hoping the dough won't blow out before Sunday, but I will reball on Saturday night and hope for the best. I used Sam's Club Bread Flour, 2% honey, 2% Olive Oil, 2% Kosher Salt, starter, idy and 62% hydration. I have no idea what the percentage of IDY or starter is, but I know how I prepared the dough, which is part of the battle (documentation being everything!).Basically, my 1/3 poolish preferment total was created last night with an amendment taking into consideration 100 grams of my 100% hydrated starter (deducted from the total flour/water amount needed). 50 grams less of each from the preferment guideline as provided by the preferment dough tool. Does that make sense? Well, it did to me! Having never combined starter and IDY, I decided to go for it, since I had seen this method being utilized by many of our fine experimenters. I didn't take time to research the amounts I should have used but, I'll have to take what I get now. LOLI used the mixing guidelines for KA mixer as detailed in post number 1. Silky dough, I am still amazed by how it felt...like I could use it in an hour. Should have tried that! I hope we can tame the heat in my MBE -- it does tend to cool from 700's to 600 and below very easily with a sporadic dome heat of 450 to 650...so I think it's gonna be much easier to use this dough rather than constantly trying to keep heat up for Neapolitan style. I will take plenty of pics, and post on Monday if I can.Thanks again for posting your latest results! The last doughs I made based on your experiments were so so so good, and I look forward to Winter pizzas in the home oven from now on. The texture was truly fine as you describe (crisp, tender and luscious) so I can't wait to taste this new bastahdized batch.
Have a screen ready, in case your stone is too hot for your dough...just monitor the bottom...best of luck!!!John
Congratulations!!! Nice looking pizza, especially the bottom shot....I think the bottoms tell the story. You must have had some very happy People after this feast!John
Your pies are looking great Reesa! Dallas Cowgirls... not so much...Craig
I had a great week experimenting with these doughs. In the back of my mind though was the thought they would age very quickly given the level of prefermented flour they had. But, really all I noticed is that when you get to days 4 and 5, the dough really resists being reballed...but I prevailed and was rewarded with excellent pizza. Again, with this dough I wanted a great tasting dough in a shorter amount of time..and the results were great...but now knowing the dough ages well it's like an extra bonus. The following is a breakfast pizza we had Monday...the dough had been in the fridge 5 days.John
John,Your pizza looks great and I like the fact that it is crisp and doesn't flop. Are you using Caputo 00 flour or KABF? Do you think this dough would perform as well in a WF brick oven with a temperature of 800 degrees? Have you ever tried a combination of the two types of flours? Thanks. eloise
I've just been using straight KABF lately......I don't know about an 800 degree oven...I can get my home oven up to about 610 degrees. Wednesday I baked one in under 4 minutes ...it was golden brown, crisp and tender......so I don't know how to answer your question regarding a hotter oven..My guess though, is that it will burn.John
I would think it will burn as well in a WFO, since 700 degree temps were seriously scorching (burnt black in some spots) the bottoms of my pies.
EloiseYour question got me to wondering...I have a demon like deck oven at work I can get up to 750 degrees, so I thought I would try my last dough of the week in a very hot oven. This dough was in the fridge 5 days and was reballed the night before. It was baked at 752 degrees.....after two minutes I threw a screen under it to make sure I didn't scorch it, and it came out at the 3 minutes mark. This hot of a bake changes the pizza entirely...it is now much more chewy and floppy....I still prefer a slower bake in a cooler oven to obtain nice crispness on the bottom.John

Hey pals,
Me, Brittonie, and Margarita were hoping to do a linocut workshop in the cafe tomorrow from 2 - 5 and wondering if we could use 30 quid (maybe less) of forest money for some materials.
We need -
about 20 small sheets of lino (small pieces are usually about 30p a peice.)
a couple small rubber ink rollers
a couple linocutter handles, 4 quid each
blades, 10p each
and paper, which I can try and source from scrap at uni.
The only things that won't go back to forest for reuse, say when we get some workshops running at argyle house, are the sheets of lino, and we can ask for donations to make up the cost.
Does that sound reasonable?

Falling Action: Best and Worst of Tate vs. Rousey
From MMAFighting.com:
Mar 5, 2012 -
Once again, the female fighters stole the show on a
Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio. Now we sort through the aftermath for the biggest winners, losers, and everything in between.
Biggest Winner:
Ronda Rousey
Turns out she was ready for this level of competition after all. The outspoken Olympic medalist showed Tate that theres more to this judo stuff than you can learn in just a couple months. Once the fight hit the floor, Rousey overpowered and outmaneuvered Tate with shocking ease. Even when Tate knew to look out for the armbar, she couldnt stay out of it. Thats not to say there arent still some holes in Rouseys game -- the way she seems to lead with her chin on the feet, for instance -- but anyone who can submit Tate that easily and that brutally is someone whos going to give future challengers a lot of sleepless nights. She may have talked her way into this fight, but her performance proved she belongs. Now womens MMA has the kind of brash champion it needs to shake things up. Up to this point, female fighters have tended to play it a little too nice outside the cage, possibly because they all felt themselves to be a part of the same struggle. Rousey just skipped to the front of the line by stepping on her predecessors backs, and now she might be hard to dislodge from that top spot. Things are getting interesting, in other words. Just in time, too.
Biggest Loser:
Miesha Tate
First of all, how is
her arm not broken
? How is that even possible? Rousey had her arm looking like Olive Oyl in the old Popeye cartoons by the time she tapped, and youre telling me that the bones in a human arm can withstand that? This changes everything I thought I knew about the human body, and I'm not sure I like that. Its got to be a bummer for Tate to go down to the same submission that Rousey used on every other opponent, so I can understand her reluctance to tap to it. Still, its one thing to hold on if youre working for an escape or trying to ride out the round. Tate was doing neither during that final armbar. She refused to tap out of pure stubbornness, which is kind of cool, I guess, but also very risky when you need a working arm just to stay employed. You cant question Tates toughness after that fight, but maybe you can question whether she was adequately prepared for Rouseys judo throws. Even if her arm isnt actually broken, my guess is she might still get some doctor-mandated time off to think about where things went wrong.
Least Impressive in Victory:
Josh Thomson
At least he gave us an honest appraisal of his own lackluster performance. "It was s--t," he said in his post-fight interview. Yeah, that pretty much nails it. He did what he had to do to get the decision over KJ Noons, but thats all. He made things slightly better for himself by owning up to the boring monotony of the whole thing, kind of like how obese comedians have learned to make fun of their own girth just to beat other people to the punch. Trouble is, you can only take that out that so many times before people start to wonder why you dont do something about it. Thomson blamed his training, which he said hed altered just so he could finally get through a camp without getting injured. Apparently it didnt leave him with enough gas in the tank to do much more than hold Noons down. There has to be a happy medium between not training hard enough and training so hard you cant get out of bed in the morning. Plenty of other fighters seem to find it. Why cant Thomson?
Most Surprising:
Kazuo Misaki
Coming into this fight, I thought all Misaki had to offer was a head hard enough to take
Paul Daley
s brain-scrambling punches. Turned out he had a lot more than that, and Daley had a lot less. Misaki earned that decision, and I think everyone but Daley (and one of the three judges) knew it. It just goes to show that sometimes you dont need one spectacular attribute to win a fight. Sometimes toughness and technique is enough. Of course, it helps if your opponent tries to rely too much of a grappling game that just isnt there.
Best Argument in Favor of a Showtime Extreme Subscription:
Sarah Kaufman vs. Alexis Davis
You could point out that it doesnt make a ton of sense for what was essentially the number one contender bout to be relegated to the prelims when the title fight itself was slotted for the main event. And youd be right. Maybe Strikeforce thought fans would rebel at the thought of two womens fights on the main card, but the truth is Kaufman and Davis put on a much better show than any of the mens fights on Saturday night. Youre telling me viewers wouldnt have preferred to see Kaufman and Davis slugging it out rather than Thomson and Noons hugging it out? The bright side is, at least Strikeforce has found a way to televise its prelims so fans didnt have to miss that scrap entirely. Good thing, too. Otherwise it might have been really baffling to keep showing a lumped up Kaufman smiling from cageside before the Rousey-Tate fight.
Most Depressing:
Scott Smith
Maybe its the years and the beatings catching up with him, but Smith looked like a man who was just showing up to get a paycheck. He appeared neither physically prepared nor psychologically motivated, and he tapped quickly to a guillotine choke that he didnt even try to escape. Maybe thats a little too harsh. Maybe he had, as fighters so often do, a litany of reasons/excuses for not being in top form on Saturday night. But if youre not going to try any harder than that once youre in the cage, does it even matter? Smith got by on his punching power and his ability to take a beating for years. Maybe he did it for too long, or learned too many of the wrong lessons in the process. All I know for sure is that this is the wrong line of work for someone whos just going through the motions.
Most Deserving of a Closer Look:
Pat Healy
Hes been a background player for Strikeforce these last couple of years, but his win over
Caros Fodor
shows that hes earned a bigger role. Its his fourth consecutive victory in the promotion, and his second straight submission over a legitimate talent. Could it be that Healy has finally found his groove? It might be too early to tell, but I wouldnt mind seeing him face tougher competition in some main card bouts in order to help us find out.
Most Bizarrely Enjoyable: Strikeforces Broadcast Trio
It used to be cloying. Then it got kind of fun. Then it got almost too fun to be professional, but now Mauro Ranallo,
Pat Miletich
, and
Frank Shamrock
have found their sweet spot. They know each other well enough to make the broadcasts seem effortless at times, and they might have finally gotten comfortable enough with another to make it seem like were just eavesdropping on three knowledgeable analysts, each of whom brings something different to the table. For instance, when Ranallo went to great pains to pin down the Japanese name for a particular throw, Miletich chimed in right on cue with exactly what many viewers were likely thinking: In America, we call that a hip toss, Mauro. Ranallo has wisely toned down the puns and the scripted schtick, so when he does pull out terms like "pulverized proboscis" its like were all in on the joke. When its time for serious analysis, theres still nobody better than Miletich at capturing the complex with simple descriptions that even the novice can understand. It took a while, and no shortage of missteps, but this team is rapidly becoming one of my favorites.

More ethics bills placed in hopper
February 3, 2009
Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, with the help of some House Democrats, is pushing a package of bills that she said Tuesday will bring more transparency to state government.
Denish told reporters at a news conference that her package is separate from the ethics legislation package being pushed by Attorney General Gary King and Gov. Bill Richardson.
Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, told reporters Tuesday that many of the multiple of ethics bills being introduced in the Legislature could end up in a single bill coming out of the Senate Rules Committee.
``Ethics reform starts with making information accessible to the public,'' Denish said. ``I want to bring more transparency to campaign fundraising, state government contracts, and to bring our work for the people more out into the open.''
Denish's bills include:
u House Bill 546, introduced Tuesday by Rep. Al Park, D-Albuquerque, which would require all contractors doing business with the state to be listed in an online, searchable database that would include the company's name, the contract and how much it's worth.
u HB 272, sponsored by Rep. Gail Chasey, D-Albuquerque, which would mandate quarterly reporting of campaign finances in off-election years. Currently candidates only have to report once a year during off years. Denish, who is running for governor in 2010, voluntarily releases campaign finance reports. She has raised more than $2 million for her race.
u HB 507, sponsored by House Majority Leader Ken Martinez, D-Grants. This would expand the Inspection of Public Records Act, which would reduce the response time to public record requests from 14 to 10 days. Under current law, 14 days is supposed to be the maximum period allowed. In recent years, state government frequently has taken the maximum time for even simple requests. The bill also would establish a ``double-check redaction system oriented toward openness.'' Denish said the bill is intended to reduce the amount of material blacked out before a document is released.
Park's bill would make it easier for reporters and others to compare state contractors with campaign contributions.
But two other bills introduced in the Senate would require the state to post political contributions of those doing business with the state.
Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort, R-Albuquerque, introduced Senate Bill 262, which she says, ``discourages any inappropriate activity by politicians when soliciting campaign contributions from people wanting to do major business with the state.'' Her bill is similar to SB 296, introduced by Sen. Dede Feldman, D-Albuquerque.
``I think it's good that there's some overlapping,'' Beffort said. ``I think it's a sign that something is going to get passed.''
Allegations that private companies' work for the state might have been tied to political contributions to Richardson are the subject of a federal grand jury investigation. That probe caused Richardson to withdraw as President Barack Obama's secretary of commerce nominee. Also, a civil lawsuit was filed regarding investments made by the State Investment Council and the state Educational Retirement Board.
Beffort also is one of several lawmakers sponsoring bills to put a limit on campaign contributions.
Denish said she expects her bills to do well in the House, but said they will have a tougher time in the Senate.
But Sen. Sanchez told reporters that he expects the Senate to pass serious ethics bills this year.
Sanchez said he understands the Senate Rules Committee plans to roll several of the proposed bills -- including campaign contribution limits, establishing an ethics commission and bills dealing with contributions by state contractors -- into one bill.
He said he doesn't think there's enough support this year for another ethics proposal -- expansion of public campaign financing -- mainly because of the budget crisis.
Sanchez also said he has heard talk of a possible amendment or separate bill that would require nonprofit groups -- such as the Center for Civic Policy -- to disclose contributions.
During last year's primary election season, New Mexico Youth Organized, a group associated with that center, distributed mailers criticizing the voting records of several legislators, some of whom went on to lose in the primary. The attorney general and secretary of state ruled that the groups were ``political committees'' and should disclose their contributors. However, in a pending lawsuit, the groups are challenging that ruling.
CCP has lobbied for ethics legislation during the past several legislative sessions. Sanchez said Tuesday he doesn't see the logic of the CCP ``wanting disclosure for everyone else'' but not wanting to disclose their own contributors.
Matt Brix of CCP said Tuesday, ``We will oppose any attempt to restrict legitimate issue advocacy that nonprofits enjoy.''

The Best of Kass
Among his posts this past week, Kass explained why he has become a bull and discussed the possibility of a delay in the Treasury's sale of its AIG shares.

That's Damn Right!
Originally published on Friday, Nov. 16 at 2:18 p.m. EST.
It was a quick segment on "Fast Money Halftime Report," which concluded in my response to Judge Wapner's question regarding my bullish turn: "Yes, that's damn right!"
I followed "Chaminade" Joe Terranova in a discussion on Apple (AAPL) , and I am in general agreement with Joe on the shares. (I love that he used my March 2009 "generational buy" term.) He is all in.
> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll
Judge first asked me about Apple and then about the markets.
On Apple, I suggested, as Joe did, that the precipitous drop in the shares this week was likely in part a function of margin calls from hedge funds that had outsized positions in the stock (some of them that I know have a more than 15% weighting). Apple, I suggested, was a leveraged play on the capital market, and as stocks fell, it became an ATM (a source of funds and liquidity).
On the market, I emphasized that I had turned and am now bullish, that an opportunity perhaps similar (though not as extreme) to that in the summers of 2010 and 2011 could be at hand. (I appeared on those two occasions on "Fast Money" as well and communicated those opportunities.)
I specifically said the fiscal cliff would be considerably whittled away from expectations (to $150 billion-$225 billion) and that I am now feeling more confident after hearing the conciliatory remarks from our leaders today.
The market's fears of a fiscal cliff are overblown.
One positive thing that has been ignored is that an aide to the president said late in the day on Thursday that only $1 trillion of tax revenue would be sought -- the president had previously said he was seeking $1.6 trillion of tax revenue.
With a compromise, the business sector is pent-up, not spent-up -- it will step up hirings/spending, and the underlying rate of growth in core economic activity could surprise to the upside.
At the time of publication, Kass was long AAPL .

Only the last year Paul has released a ballet score and KONB. Between MAF and KONB he released Electric argument.And the reissues series So I guess he s holding up a good schedule now reaching 70 years old. Paul is an old man now but probably is the kind of person that never will retire.
O f course I would be happy with new music from Paul but for me quality is more important. My Valentine on KONB is a GREAT McCartney song and I prefer one great over ten not so great songs.
Many of my favorite artists are either dead or getting old. Could that tell anything about me?

McDermott wants united Rhinos
Leeds coach Brian McDermott says the champions will revert to a siege mentality as they look to get their ailing season back on track.
- Related Content
The Rhinos' hopes of completing a rare double have been dashed following their exit from the Challenge Cup while three consecutive Super League defeats have cost them any hope of catching leaders Wigan.
They will look to stop the rot against Daryl Powell's Castleford in Friday's derby at Headingley and McDermott, who has guided the Rhinos to Grand-Final glory from fifth place in each of the last two years, insists now is not the time to panic.
"Clearly we are disappointed by the results in recent weeks because we haven't got the wins we set out to achieve," he said.
"However, this is a determined bunch of players and they will stick together. We are not going to panic and start listening to those outside of our bubble.
"The answers to our challenges are within our group and we will continue to work hard.
"When we reflect on our recent performances, we have produced strong passages of play but we have been inconsistent and our challenge is now to get back to the standards we set ourselves earlier in the season."
Leeds' cause is not helped by the loss of England backs Danny McGuire, who will have a plate inserted in his broken leg tomorrow, and Kallum Watkins, who is due to have a further scan to ascertain the extent of his ankle-ligament damage.
They join Jamie Peacock, Carl Ablett, Stevie Ward and Ben Jones-Bishop on the sidelines and could prompt Leeds to give a debut to 18-year-old centre Thomas Minns against the Tigers.
McDermott gave a Super League debut to another teenager, Liam Sutcliffe, last month and believes Minns deserves his chance.
"Thomas has been performing well in the Under-19s along with the likes of Liam Sutcliffe and Jordan Baldwinson and now is a good time for him to be more involved with the senior players, having completed his college studies," McDermott said.
Wigan are also set to give youth a fling against Widnes at the Halton Stadium on Friday.
Lewis Tierney, the oldest son of former Warriors legend Jason Robinson, will get the chance to deputise for full-back Sam Tomkins, who has been ruled out with an Achilles injury, while stand-off Ryan Hampshire, also 18, replaces Matty Smith.
The league leaders are the middle of an injury crisis, with Liam Farrell, Blake Green, Sean O'Loughlin, Michael McIlorum, Gil Dudson, Ben Flower and Pat Richards also ruled out, but coach Shaun Wane is determined to look on the bright side.
"Lewis and Ryan are good, smart kids and I am looking forward to seeing them play," he said. "I obviously don't want Sam and the others to be injured but it is a positive negative for me."

Heritage Auctions Gets $3.29 million for nickel that starred in Hawaii Five-O
The weekend of controversy over the Dallas Safari Club's auction of a permit to hunt an endangered black rhino (final price: $350,000) obscured what was a less controversial, though much bigger auction in Orlando, Fla., conducted by Dallas' Heritage Auctions.
Last spring, Heritage made national news when it sold a 1913 Liberty Head Nickel that had been lost for decades. Price: $3.1 million. There are only five of them in existence and one belongs to the Smithsonian.
Thursday, Heritage auctioned a second 1913 Liberty Head Nickel, this time fetching $3.29 million. And this nickel starred in an episode of Hawaii Five-O.
What's the big deal?
In 1913, the U.S. Mint changed the design of its five-cent piece. The image of Miss Liberty that was on the face in 1912 and previous years was changed to the face of a Native American.
But some mysterious rascal at the Philadelphia Mint pressed five of the Miss Liberty coins with the 1913 date on them. Just who did it has been a source of speculation among numismatists for nearly a century.
The Liberty Head Nickel that Heritage sold is known as the Olsen specimen, named for one-time owner Fred Olsen. Its other owners in the last century have included King Farouk of Egypt, Texas oilman and numismatist Reed Hawn and the late L.A. Lakers owner Jerry Buss.
Back in 1972, this nickel was the first coin to break the $100,000 price barrier. That made it famous enough to be featured in a 1973 episode of Hawaii Five-O appropriately titled The 100,000 Nickel. The villain Eric Damien plots to steal the nickel at a Honolulu coin convention. Damien is played by Victor Buono, known to fans of TV's Batman as King Tut.

It's been over two weeks since Hurricane Irene blew through Vermont destroying homes, businesses, roads and wildlife habitats. Since then Vermonters and good samaritans from throughout the region have been working around the clock to rebuild and restore the area. I'm amazed at how fast the roads are being rebuilt. Route 9 between Brattleboro and Bennington was ripped to smitherenes but, with the help of the National Guard and others, our incredible road crews have already gotten it passable. Shannon said she even got to drive on a newly paved stretch of Route 9 on her way in today.
But there is much work left to do. As with all disasters the news media moves on, but so many people are still in need of assistance. At Vermont Woods Studios Furniture we are trying to think of ways to help. One thing we are doing is donating 100% of profits from all furniture sold online or in our showroom this Saturday, September 17. If you have been thinking about buying furniture, this would be a great time to do it! All of our Shaker Furniture is on sale that day; we have 6 Dining Room Sets on Sale that can be installed in your home for Thanksgiving Dinner plus (how cool is this?) our donation will be matched by local employer Entergy-VY. Talk about leveraging your hard-earned money. So it could be a win for you and others– in a big way. If the promotion is successful, we'll sponsor similar events periodically to continue to help out where we can.
Thanks for your continued well-wishes as Vermonters work to rebuild after the storm.

Participants can ask questions via online chat or optional audio, which requires a microphone or headset. Other features of the iLinc program allow the instructor to share PowerPoint presentations, course handouts, an interactive whiteboard, and applications. These features allow students to participate in the class without having to have the programs installed on their computer. For additional information regarding the upcoming classes, please visit the library's website, www.mcl.org.

Ok this is not exactly an emergency it's just that if I wait for a bike shop to open to get a new tire I can't get a ride in before I have to be at my folks for Easter dinner.
Bran new 29" tire off of my bran new Gary Fisher Hi-Fi 29er. I have no 29" spares and I wanna ride me new bike so bad.
Now it's Saturday evening when I get around to swapping out the tube I discover the 1 1/2" gash up the side wall. The new tube sticking out the sidewall like a bubble gum bubble. This was the tell tell sign something was amiss. Also explains the sudden loss of air that occurred during the Thursday evening ride. No I wasn't drunk, it was getting dark, I just didn't notice. How didn't I notice????????
That would be a thumb sticking through the sidewall and yes I'm crazy/retarded to try and repair this but I really want to ride tomorrow.
Ok here's my fix, wish me luck, I hope it get's me through my ride:
First I sew up the side wall with thread and needle. This in itself is inadequate because the nylon thread cuts through the rubber sidewall like a knife when you put the pressure to it.
Hey lookin nice
Next a heavy duty iron on clothing patch cut 2 1/2" by 3". Ironed that sucker onto the inside of the tire and managed to do that without melting the rubber tire.
Now some more thread and needle work to reinforce the original seem. This time with the heavy duty patch behind it. Next put some air in the tire.
Viola! Looks awesome!
Now let's try it on a ride. Anyone want to take bets on how many miles I go before my sidewall bursts?

Customer Reviews
Comments: One of my favorite jigs of all time. Rarely gets hung up & falls in just the right way. When dragging, it feels effortless gliding across rocks & brush. Plus the special hook has a unique bend that keeps fish pinned much better than others I've tried. I use the 3/16 in rivers & creeks for smallies & the 7/16 in lakes from 8-15 or so feet. The TW Clearwater craw looks amazing in the water!
From: JM: Gamaliel, AR 9/13/15
Comments: These are great jigs! My only complaint is the weed gaurd on the 3/16 version should be fiber like the other sizes. These are my favorite jigs for river smallmouth.

The fraction pie pieces are an excellent manipulative for equivalent fractions. I teach Special Education and my students are enthuastic to "play" with it, because they see it as a game. They enjoy having the option of becoming the "puzzle master". It also has different stages (easy, intermediate, hard) which makes it great for differentiation. It would be even better if it could extend to be used for adding and subtracting fractions. Other than that, it has been a great addition to my Learning Center.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fraction Pie PuzzlesThis game is a good addition to my classroom. It works well with one to two players and really helps solidify the concepts of fractions. It helps my students with equivalencies, comparing of fractions and reinforces many other concepts and skills related to fractions. The puzzles go from easy to more difficult and offer a challenge for any learner. I did need to spend a bit of time explaining that some student generated solutions may not match the solutions on the cards, but I saw this as a benefit and used to encourage the students to think from an open ended perspective. This is the nature of mathematics and I considered it a positive.The design of the game and parts are easy to work with, during both play and clean up. All the parts are durable and well sized for their use. This is a great feature because kids don't always keep track of things and this game doesn't have a lot of small parts which can be easily lost.If you do a lot of small group instruction and interactive type teaching this game will work well for you and your students.This game is really going to help me during small group instruction time! I highly recommend it.
