Have your portfolio reviewed by more than thirty colleges and universities from around the United States and Canada!
National Portfolio Days are free educational events for young artists held at host colleges throughout the United States and Canada. This is an opportunity to have college representatives review your artwork, offer critiques, and share information about their schools. These events are not an exam or a competition—representatives are interested in your progress and in providing helpful information about this next important step in your development as an artist. We suggest you meet with as many representatives as possible.
Should I attend?
Any high school student considering studying art or design at a college level should participate in National Portfolio Day. At Portfolio Day, you'll get a small taste of what it could be like to attend a professional art program. You'll see a variety of artwork created at different levels by young artists with varying skills and experiences. You may hear many different opinions about your work. Do not hesitate to explain to the college representatives how you develop your ideas and where you want to go with them.
What should I bring?
Your portfolio can include finished pieces, work in progress, and sketchbooks. We ask you to bring your original artwork (rather than reproductions of other works) whenever possible. If your work is large, 3D, or otherwise hard to carry, you can bring photographs of the work instead. We suggest that you do not spend time and money matting or framing your work—keep your presentation simple. If you want to showcase digital works, please bring your own laptop or tablet to view them on.
No admissions decisions or scholarships will be offered at National Portfolio Days. Some representatives may accept the portfolio you present as the visual portion of your application, but many may not. All expect that your artwork will progress in the months following the event.

HE SAYS IT IS 'ROSE-UH-VELT'; No Trouble With Others Smile for Strangers MISPRONOUNCER?
By CHARLES W. HURD ();

Comments by purists on pronunciation used by Postmaster General James A. Farley, as reported in "Better English," serve to call attention to the fact that one thing President Roosevelt may do without authorization by Congress or even of an Executive order is to pronounce hisname just as he pleases.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
For income tax filing it is best to always use the name that is currently on record with the Social Security Administration (regardless of what the W-2 or other document may have)
You may file in Georgia as a part year resident and either married filing joint or married filing separately. From page 9 of the Form IT-511 Individual Income Tax Instruction Booklet: A married part-year resident or nonresident with income earned in Georgia whose spouse is a nonresident with no Georgia source income may file either a separate return claiming himself/herself only, or a joint return claiming total allowable deductions. If one spouse is a resident and one is a part-year resident or nonresident, enter 3 in the residency status box and complete Form 500, Schedule 3 to calculate Georgia taxable income.
See Form 500 Individual Income Tax Return (Fill in on-line, print and mail)
I hope this helps.
Best wishes and congratulations on your marriage!

Queens elected officials are calling for an investigation into the Queens International Film Festival founder's business ventures after having supported the festival as a borough cultural event for seven years.
A number of individuals and institutions involved in the distribution and screening of films have accused Marie Castaldo, QIFF's founder and executive director, of failing to pay them thousands of dollars during the festival's past several years.
QIFF screened movies from Nov. 12 to Nov. 15 at several borough sites, including Astoria's Frank Sinatra School of the Arts, as part of its seventh annual celebration.
Queens officials, including Borough President Helen Marshall, City Councilman Tony Avella (D-Bayside) and Councilman John Liu (D-Flushing), the city comptroller-elect, had thrown their support behind the festival prior to this year's screenings. But some of them are now urging Queens District Attorney Richard Brown to investigate Castaldo.
"The people from the festival had reached out to me as an elected official to get more support and publicity," said Avella, whose office sent out an advisory to constituents, notifying them that the festival was taking place. "But people should be careful what they wish for. We've had about 10 people call my office. I'm collecting information on all the people who have been victimized. It's clearly a pattern this woman has to defraud people and take advantage of them."
A spokeswoman for Liu said the councilman had been invited to speak at the festival's opening night.
"The allegations are very concerning," Liu's spokeswoman, Sharon Lee, said. "John would concur with the calls for an investigation into these serious allegations."
QIFF's phone number is still in service, but its answering machine said the mailbox was full and could not receive messages. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
Marshall's spokesman, Dan Andrews, could not be reached for comment.
Castaldo's alleged victims include a number of individuals from different parts of the United States, including Brooklyn's nonprofit Rooftop Films, Connecticut projectionist James Hill, Astoria's Museum of the Moving Image and Kerry Wallum, an Austin, Texas-based film production company owner who had organized a tribute to musician Levon Helm led by Kris Kristofferson for this year's festival.
The two musicians later dropped out of QIFF and held a concert in Woodstock.
QIFF's Web site listed Applebee's, Holiday Inn, Clarion Hotel, the Louis Armstrong House Museum and Wallum's own Fast Talk 'N Productions among this year's sponsors.
Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Astoria) said he found the accusations against Castaldo "troubling" and that QIFF's founder had "scammed people who are trying to make it in the film business and may not have the financial resources to file a complaint."
The DA's office said Castaldo was currently facing no charges.
Dan Nuxoll, program director of Rooftop Films, said Castaldo owed him $2,750 after his company, a nonprofit film festival that also rents out projectors and audio equipment to other festivals, worked on QIFF in 2007.
"She made it look legitimate," he said. "She's got all these Council members supporting her and she picks young people who are vulnerable — filmmakers who have never been in a festival before. Everything is so preposterous that you can't imagine she'd be doing it."
David Schwartz, curator for the Moving Image, said he believed Castaldo received government support because elected officials want to bring cultural events into their districts.
"I think elected officials are happy to see any new undertaking happen," he said. "Most film festivals all over the country get support from local officials because they bring attention to the community."
A spokeswoman for the Moving Image said Castaldo never paid the institution $3,600 for its participation in the 2007 festival.

The former Corrie star, who has been snapped peeling off for a wash on
numerous occasions so far, stripped down to her skimpy swimwear yet again

has shown off her trim figure in red, white and blue bikinis on the show.
How very patriotic.

Kim Soo Ro Praises A Pink′s Jung Eun Ji for Her Acting in ′Reply 1997′
Following his tweets about Superstar K4, Kim Soo Ro continued on his TV journey by tweeting about tvN′s Reply 1997 and A Pink′s Jung Eun Ji.
On September 17 Kim Soo Ro tweeted, ′I watched Reply 1997! Up to the sixth episode~~~ At once!′
He then added, ′It′s a well-made drama, and in short, Jung Eun Ji is like an acting genius. She′s so attractive and she can sing~ This girl has never received acting lessons! She′s instinctively great! I′ll leave another tweet after watching it to the end.′
Jung Eun Ji took up her first acting role as Sun Si Won in Reply 1997. Although she had never received acting lessons, she′s been praised for her skilled comical and emotional acting.
Reply 1997 is a drama that sends viewers back to the Busan of the 1990s. It made big issues on the web since it started airing, taking over keyword search charts and even getting over 5 percent in viewership ratings as a cable channel drama.
The last episode of the drama will air on September 18.

REGISTRATION RISES ON THE SECOND DAY; Two-Day Figures Exceed Those for Similar Period in 1921 Mayoralty Contest.
A marked improvement in the registration yesterday -- the second day -- over Monday's showing, brought the total for the first two days this year above that of the first two days in 1921, when the last Mayoralty election was held. The figures still were far below those of last year, when a President was elected.

A bipartisan group of congressmen, including Ron Paul, issued a statement urging the Obama administration to end the war in Afghanistan. They noted eleven years had gone by and still the Taliban are attacking, killing and now our "allies" are murdering American and NATO troops. Rep. Walter Jones, speaking for the group argued "when our friends become our enemies, it's time to pull the plug."
The essence of this group's argument is attempts to train, to foster honesty in government, to stimulate economic development simply have not worked. As Jones sarcastically commented about the eleven year time span, "you can train a monkey to ride a bicycle in that length of time."
Congressmen agreed that departure of US troops would leave a pose vacuum. Perhaps, the monkeys can handle that one. They can throw bananas.

Up to 200,000 protest nuclear energy
By Ann Yu ,The China Post Sunday, March 10, 2013, 12:13 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The 309 Nuclear Free National Rally kicked off its string of events in front of Ketagalan Boulevard in Taipei yesterday afternoon, with similar rallies in Kaohsiung, Taichung, Taitung and Penghu.
Over 100 civic groups joined the nationwide event, including the I am Human group and Victims of Nuclear Power, from Northern Taiwan. Despite the unseasonably hot and humid weather, people flooded into the street in front of the Presidential Office, with some even decked out in heavy costumes.
Police estimates put attendance in Taipei at over 50,000, with some 8,000 each in Taichung and Kaohsiung. The event's main organizers, however, estimated that 120,000 protesters turned out in Taipei and 200,000 nationwide.
According to organizers, the demonstrations sought to make five statements: stop funding for the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, stop installing fuel rods at the plant, stop the operation of all three nuclear power plants, remove all nuclear waste from Orchid Island, and requesting the government implement restrictions on power use.
"We ask that the government terminate all nuclear power immediately," Taipei event host Lai Wei-chieh (賴偉傑) said.
Marching from Ketagalan Boulevard, the rally made its way through the capital, stopping in front of the central bank to demand that no more funds be allocated for the fourth plant, at the Taipei Botanical Garden (植物園) to protest against 47 legislators who support the plant; and at the Council of Agriculture to demand farmland be protected from nuclear radiation.
Some participants used 5 kilometers of blockade tape to encircle a section of Bo-Ai Road. "Using the blockade tape represents that if anything happens to Nuke 4, the entire city of Taipei will become a restricted area due to the impact of the damage," Lai said.
Afterward, demonstrators returned to outside the Presidential Office for a vigil, the first protest of its kind on such a scale in years, organizers said.
Distrust for Premier
Although the government has proposed launching a referendum to decide the fate of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, Lai lashed out at the idea, saying that using a vote to settle such a sensitive issue has sparked too much controversy.
"The referendum is full of conspiracy and questionable points. Does the government really think they can allow a referendum to decide Taiwan's environmental fate?" he asked.
When asked about Premier Jiang Yi-huah's (江宜樺) statement that he might appear at the demonstration, Lai said, "If you (Jiang) truly believe in terminating nuclear power, then come and join our demonstration. Otherwise don't even bother."
"No one can ensure the safety of nuclear power, not even Premier Jiang.
"A 1-percent threat is still a threat. I think it's illogical for the premier to promise a nuclear-free country in the future but continue the Nuke 4 project."

"Stop funding for the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant, stop installing fuel rods at the plant, stop the operation of all three nuclear power plants, remove all nuclear waste from Orchid Island, and requesting the government implement restrictions on power use."
This is such a ridiculous statement. How do you people expect to power your cell phones, computers, lights, air condition, hot water, etc? It is so illogical and impractical. You people say not to build a nuclear power plant, then complain about a few percentage point increase in your electric bill. Give me a break!

As I and my friends saw on TV, the DPP were so successful by using this sensitive issue NUKE 4 in organizing rally and demonstration.
As per our analysis and UNDERSTANDING., the DPP used this sensitive NUKE 4 issue that 100% will surely cause social and civil unrest from the rally and demonstration, if a single shot were fired like during 228 and 319, it will spread wildfire nationwide (whole Taiwan) organized and planned by the DPP hoping to grab power and blame the KMT for the shooting or to the mainland like the fake 319 assassination.
To avoid this kind of fire and fury like 228 and 319, the government should be aware of these scenarios that the DPP hope for by using the NUKE 4 as their political card.
The KMT should now make a counter proposal to all the DPP bright lawmakers:
_Mr./Mrs./Miss DPP: Would you approve that we might as well SHUT DOWN all our NUKE 1-2-3 immediately for NUCLEAR FREE HOMELAND without any political purposes?
_But if our economy collapses, high cost of electricity and unemployment shooting up etc.... are you willing to be held liable for the misery caused by your misdeed?
It is the only way to stop the DPP to disregarding that "nuclear energy as an alternative approach to maintain economic growth considering what is viewed by diminishing and dependant on resources of oil and natural gas"......and the DPP knows that very well.

JACKSON — Mississippi would spend $72.6 million in cash on various capital projects under a bill approved Friday by the state House.
The move appears to concede to Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves' wish that Mississippi begin paying for some needs out of its ongoing budget instead of borrowing through bonds.
"Lt. Gov. Reeves is encouraged by the House agreeing with the Senate's position that many of the expenses that have been bonded in the past should be paid for out of the annual appropriation," said Laura Hipp, spokeswoman for the Republican lieutenant governor.
Reeves' desire to cut borrowing was the major factor in the failure of the House and Senate to agree on a bond bill in 2012. That failure meant no cash to help politically sensitive constituencies, including county governments and volunteer fire departments. It also contributed to the University of Mississippi and Mississippi State University imposing additional fees on their students starting this fall to pay for building construction and renovation.
From 1996 to 2011, lawmakers authorized some borrowing every year. The average amount authorized was $345 million, ranging from a low of $28 million in 2008 to a high of $857 million in 2010.
Last year, Reeves wanted to borrow $73 million and pay $50 million for various projects. House members wanted to borrow substantially more.
House Bill 22, which passed the House 118-0 Friday, would begin spending the money upon final legislative passage and running through the end of the 2014 budget year. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, told House members he still contemplated passing a bond bill.
Friday's bill includes:
— $20 million for county bridge replacement.
— $11 million to replace roofs at universities.
— $1 million to waterproof Jackson State University's administration tower.
— $5 million to replace roofs at community colleges.
— $4 million to replace roofs at the Department of Mental Health
— $5 million to replace roofs on other state buildings.
— $3 million for grants for rural fire trucks.
The bill includes $22 million to pay vendors who are creating MAGIC, a new accounting software program for state government. Frierson said that much of the massive project, which has been ongoing since 2010, is due at the end of February.
The measure also contains $1.6 million for the proposed Grammy music museum in Cleveland. Bryant recently delivered a $1 million check to the museum, but only after blocking $3 million that Frierson and Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Buck Clarke, R-Hollandale, tried to steer to the museum last summer.

Re: Malware routing
Without being able to see the firewall logs and some wireshark captures, then it's pretty hard to say. Based off the little we know, it does sound a little like a spoof of sorts, but I would not say that for certain as there could be a lot more going on than what you're explaining.
Your first post made it kind of sound like a physical setup, but I better ask. Is this a virtual machine and VM-firewall setup or physical systems?

President Obama on Tuesday night delivered a video message to the NARAL Pro-Choice America annual dinner in which he thanked pro-abortion-rights activists for their work and marked the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion.
"We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to protecting a woman's access to safe, affordable health care and her right to reproductive freedom, because we know that we are better off as a nation when women are treated fairly and equally in every aspect in life, whether it's the salary you earn or the health decisions you make," Obama said in the 90-second video to supporters gathered in a ballroom of the Hilton Hotel.
The video message came three months after the end of a campaign season in which reproductive rights became an unexpected focal point in several downballot races across the country, as well as in Obama's White House battle against former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R).
While Obama made no mention of his former rival in his video, the 2012 campaign was a focus of the remarks by several speakers, including Nancy Keenan, who is stepping down after eight years as NARAL's president, and former Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter, the keynote speaker at Tuesday's dinner.
Keenan argued that anti-abortion-rights candidates "staked their careers on attacking a woman's right to choose, and my friends, they paid dearly at the ballot box."
Cutter -- who was hailed by Obama in his video message as "an exceptional pick for pretty much any job, if I do say so myself" – told the crowd that Republicans "misread their mandate after the 2010 elections."
"They thought that 2012 would mean an even better year for that extreme agenda. ... They nominated Senate candidates who didn't understand that rape actually can cause pregnancy," she said.
Cutter took aim in her remarks at both Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). She said that during the 2012 White House race, Obama campaign staffers had a joke about Romney that "when he watched Mad Men, he thought he was watching the 11 o'clock news."
Of Ryan, she noted that the former GOP vice-presidential nominee is co-sponsor of a bill before the current Congress that would aim to defund organizations such as Planned Parenthood.
"Now, if their own failed vice-presidential nominee is still trying to roll back the clock, you tell me, did they really learn the less of the 2012 election?" Cutter said.
Late last month, hundreds of thousands of anti-abortion-rights activists marked the Roe v. Wade anniversary by demonstrating in front of the Supreme Court and on the National Mall at the annual "March for Life."
The full text of Obama's video message to NARAL is below:
"Good evening, everybody. Tonight, we celebrate the historic Roe v. Wade decision handed down 40 years ago. But we also gather to recommit ourselves to the decision's guiding principle: that women should be able to make their own choices about their bodies and their health care. We reaffirm our steadfast commitment to protecting a woman's access to safe, affordable health care and her right to reproductive freedom, because we know that we are better off as a nation when women are treated fairly and equally in every aspect in life, whether it's the salary you earn or the health decisions you make. This is a country where the success of all of us depends on the empowerment of each of us, where all Americans should have the freedom and opportunity to reach their potential. And I know that's what you're fighting for every day."
"So, to everyone at NARAL Pro-Choice America, thank you for your tireless advocacy for the health and well-being of women and families. I'd especially like to thank your outgoing president, Nancy Keenan, who's been a friend and counselor to me and my administration. And I welcome Ilyse Hogue, who we know will continue Nancy's legacy of outstanding leadership of this organization. Finally, congratulations on your keynote speaker, Stephanie Cutter, an exceptional pick for pretty much any job, if I do say so myself."
"I couldn't be prouder of the work each of you is doing to make this world a fairer and more just place for all Americans. And I look forward to continuing that work with you in the years ahead."

When it comes to the Today show and the MSM at large, sometimes the Bush administration and its war on terror just can't win. Take the show's coverage of our recent attempt to zap Zawahiri.
What if we missed him? According to this morning's Today, that would be "a huge blow to America's image abroad."
Well then, what if we got him? That's not so good either: "Even if Al-Zawahari was killed, America's relations with a key ally have paid a price" says Today.
See what I mean?
Today chose to lead its show with images of angry anti-US protests in Pakistan, as Matt Lauer spoke of a "boiling point."
And just in case anyone missed the message, NBC reporter Jim Maceda, in Pakistan, played a brief clip in which the former head of Pakistani intelligence declared:
"I like the CIA; we work together. But I daresay they are a huge failure and they have to be responsible for it."
So let's summarize:
- Huge blow to the US if we missed Zawahiri.
- We pay a price with a key ally even if we got him.
- And, oh yeah, we have to be responsible for our 'huge failure.'
Got it.
Also in the first half-hour, Ann Curry conducted an adoring interview with Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the newly-elected President of Liberia. Ann spoke with open envy of the fact that Liberia had beaten the US to the punch when it came to electing a woman president. Don't worry, Ann - you'll have your chance to campaign for Hillary before long.
Later came a segment on a radical fad in eco-tourism - visits to the still-radioactive area surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Ukraine. The American woman tour guide, who has made 19 visits to the area, solemnly declared that "humans are more dangerous to nature than radioactivity."

rear door arm rests
i have a 4 door 1968 nova. i need 2 rear arm rests. these are like impossible to find and was wondering if they are inter changeable with like another year Nova? they have the built in ash trays in them
Here you go, check out this link: http://www.camarosandclassics.com/Me...ovaArmRestKits It looks like quite a few GM cars from 68 to 72 (Camaro, Firebird, Nova, Monte Carlo) used the same front arm rests. It looks like only the Chevelle and Nova used the same rear arm rests. Any time you're looking for old interior parts, Google "Vintage........interior parts" ( the dots refer to whatever car you're looking for) and you'll hit pay dirt.
Also try car part.com...Buick Olds and Pontiac used that body style back in the day so you may find what you need there..
68-74 4door Novas should all share the same rear armrests.
That would be true, possibly for the front armrests, but the rear armrests are specific to the 68 to 72 models.
rear armrests
yeah, i believe that is true. Because the rear armrests enclose the door handle. ive looked at some similar year chevelles and they are just the armrest with the ashtray. no opening for the door handle.

Rep. Donald Payne of New Jersey dies at age 77
FILE – In a Wednesday, Jan. 5, 2011 file photo, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, left, administers the House oath to Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J., during a mock swearing-in ceremony on Capitol Hill in Washington. Payne, the first black elected to represent New Jersey in Congress, died Tuesday, March 6, 2012. He was 77. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Days before U.S. Rep. Donald Payne died of cancer, it wasn't the phone calls of encouragement from presidents that cheered him. It was when a Washington hospital orderly recognized the New Jersey congressman as the only U.S. official to visit his village in the African nation of Eritrea.
Hearing from the orderly how much the visit had meant, and knowing he had made a difference in the lives of people struggling against violence and poverty — from his native Newark, N.J., to sub-Saharan Africa — was the reason why Donald Payne had dedicated his life to public service, his brother William said Tuesday.
"He walked with kings, but never lost the common touch," William Payne said.
Donald Payne, the first black congressional member from New Jersey, passed away Tuesday at St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, N.J. He was 77.
The 12-term member of the House had announced in February that he was undergoing treatment for colon cancer and would continue to represent his district. He was flown home to New Jersey on Friday from Georgetown [auth] University Hospital as his health took a sudden turn for the worse.
He was first elected in 1988 after twice losing to former Rep. Peter Rodino, who retired after 40 years in Congress.
Payne, often considered one of the most progressive Democrats in the state's delegation, was elected to a 12th term in 2010. He represented the 10th District, which includes the city of Newark and parts of Essex, Hudson and Union counties.
In Washington, he was remembered for his work as a defender of human rights, both at home and abroad.
President Barack Obama, who ordered flags lowered in Payne's honor, called him a "leader in US-Africa policy, making enormous contributions towards helping restore democracy and human rights across the continent."
Payne was a member of House committees on education and foreign affairs. He served as chairman of the House subcommittee on Africa, and had traveled many times to the continent on foreign affairs matters.
He was remembered Tuesday as one of the first U.S. officials to speak out on the situation in Darfur and South Sudan.
"He was fearless in describing what was happening to people; he didn't mince words;" said Faith McDonnell, a member of the Act for Sudan coalition who worked with Payne on issues in the region. "This is a huge loss to the people of Darfur, and for all marginalized people, who I really regret won't have his voice and his helping hand the way others did."
During an April 2009 trip, mortar shells were fired toward Mogadishu airport as a plane carrying Payne took off safely from the Somali capital. Officials at the time said 19 civilians were injured in residential areas. Payne had met with Somalia's president and prime minister during his one-day visit to Mogadishu to discuss piracy, security and cooperation between Somalia and the United States.
He also had been the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus and a congressional delegate to the United Nations.
At home, he was remembered as a trailblazer for African-Americans, as an advocate for the underprivileged, and as a gentleman.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker called him a "a humble hero who lived an extraordinary life of contribution and distinction" and "a defender of and advocate for the rights, liberties, equal opportunities, and dignity of all people."
Born and raised in Newark, Payne came up through the ranks of Essex County politics. He earned a bachelor's degree from Seton Hall University in 1957 and taught in Newark schools for 15 years. He went on to become an insurance executive and member of the Newark City Council from 1982 until 1988.
It was his work with the YMCA — starting as a young volunteer at a segregated storefront office in Newark and rising to become the president of the national organization — that opened his eyes to the wider world, according to his brother. He traveled to more than 80 countries as a member of the YMCA's international board before becoming a congressman, his brother said. But Payne always remained as firmly rooted in local politics and community concerns as he was in raising awareness on issues from armed conflict to the AIDS epidemic in Africa, his brother said.
"He was committed to causes that impacted on people who had no voice; people who were forgotten by society," William Payne said. "My brother had a great deal of compassion, and he stepped out on a lot of unpopular causes."
Payne was a widower with three children and four grandchildren. His son, Donald Payne Jr., is a Newark city councilman. Services haven't been announced.
While Payne faced the prospect of a primary challenge from Newark Councilman Ronald C. Rice, his death will open the field in the heavily Democratic district.
Gov. Chris Christie's office said Tuesday that out of deference to the congressman and his family they would not discuss whether the governor would fill the seat immediately, or let it stand vacant until a special election can be held, which has typically been done.
A public plaza between two government buildings in Newark now bears Payne's name in tribute to his long career in public service.

Party in the sand
When the first chill of the autumn season sets in, provided your geographical location supports such a thing, it may seem like the time for thinking about beach weddings is over. But since most weddings are planned months, if not years in advance, that is when I begin to have golden dreams about the ultimate seaside wedding.
In many cases, the seaside wedding is treated as a casual affair or a free-for-all of sandy shoes, nowhere to sit down, and gritty cake. But inside every girl is a prima donna of planning! Deep down in the heart of every lady beats the drum of a matrimonial general, ready to position her troops effectively on any terrain!
Taryn Bussewitz of UltimateWedding.com reminds us future brides that it pays to think about tents, tides, tables, and even toilets when we're thinking about our big day. Give people a place to put their shoes and handbags. And for goodness sake, somewhere to sit.
Not to mention, of course, everyone's favorite part: the dress. Keeping in mind that there will be great quantities of sand involved, consider a shorter, simpler dress. You wouldn't believe how much sand can get stuck in layers of lace and you don't want to bring the beach home with you after the reception. To see a few gowns that would look great on any tropical isle, take a gander at JCREW for the brides.
Without a little effort, hopeful beach brides can make sure their wedding snapshots will look like this:

Macquarie Said Seeking to Trump Aberdeen's Bid for SWIP
Macquarie Group Ltd. (MQG) is trying to trump Aberdeen Asset Management Plc (ADN)'s offer for Lloyds Banking Group Plc's (LLOY) fund management business with an all-cash bid, two people with knowledge of the talks said.
Macquarie, Australia's largest investment bank, has offered about 600 million pounds ($959 million) for Scottish Widows Investment Partnership, said the people, who asked not to be identified because deliberations are private. The bid includes additional cash payments linked to an eight-year partnership with Lloyds, they said.
Aberdeen, based in the Scottish city of the same name, said in a statement last month it was in talks to buy SWIP in shares, followed by later payments in cash depending on how the operation performed. It didn't put a valuation on its offer. The money manager said that it was also discussing a "strategic partnership" with Lloyds, without giving further details. A purchase by Aberdeen would make the Scottish firm Europe's largest publicly traded money manager.
Lloyds, which is 33 percent owned by the U.K. government following its bailout, may choose its preferred bidder as early as this week before announcing a winner by the end of the month, two of the people said. No final decision has been made and the two bidders may improve their offers, they said.
Officials at Lloyds, Aberdeen and Macquarie declined to comment on the discussions. The Wall Street Journal reported last week that Macquarie was planning to make an offer of about 500 million pounds.
Macquarie Chief Executive Officer Nicholas Moore is shifting from deal-making and trading to less volatile businesses such as lending and fund management.
Acquisition History
In July, Macquarie agreed to buy ING Groep NV (INGA)'s South Korean investment management business. In 2012, the firm considered purchasing asset management businesses being sold by Deutsche Bank AG and Dexia SA (DEXB), people familiar with the matter said at the time. In August 2009, the Sydney-based company acquired Philadelphia-based Delaware Investments from Lincoln Financial Group.
Macquarie this month reported a 39 percent increase in half-year net income, helped by the fund management business, which oversees about A$385 billion ($360 billion).
Lloyds CEO Antonio Horta-Osorio, 49, has been seeking to bolster the company's balance sheet by selling assets, cutting costs and eliminating jobs following the bank's government bailout in 2008. The London-based lender purchased Scottish Widows (SWIPRTA), which runs both a life-insurance business and the SWIP fund-management operation, for 7.3 billion pounds in 2000.

text: In a nutshell: The App Store indicates that apps need to be updated even when the apps are current on the Mac's internal drive. The App Store "sees" the apps on a cloned external drive and wants to update them. In some cases the apps are current and in one instance the App Store wants to update an up-to-date app but the button is grayed-out and reads "installed." After communicating with Apple they let me know that they consider Time Machine to be the "approved" backup mechanism, so they don't consider this to be a priority to be fixed in a future update.

So I've been having a crazy high idle lately, and the CEL came on the other day. By crazy high, I'm talking 1700-2200 rpm...the normal is 700-900. Anyway, I got 2 DTCs back. One was a bad TPS (Low input or something), TPS replaced and the code hasnt come back since I cleared it.
But this other one I cant narrow down. P1120, Manufacturer Contl Fuel Air Metering. What exactly is this related to? My first guess is a bad/dirty MAF, or the MAF is reading a different amount of air than what's actually getting into the system (like there's a leak).
I recently installed an intake, but I'm pretty confident I've got good seals all around, and there was about a week in between the installation and the problems.
What else should I be looking at?

KHARTOUM, April 18 (Xinhua) -- At least 30 people were killed in Bor, the capital of the oil-rich Jonglei state in South Sudan, during clashes between local young demonstrators and peacekeepers from the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS), the Paris-based Sudan Tribune website reported on Friday.
The clashes erupted on Thursday when armed youths from Bor town opened fire at the UN compound where thousands of internationally displaced people (IDPs) in the country are currently sheltering.
UNMISS health worker William Oyual said 20 people were killed when armed local youths forced their way into the compound.
Bior Kuer, who works at Bor civil hospital, said another two people died at the health facility from wounds suffered during the fighting.
According to Kuer, 14 others were wounded, with three in critical condition.
UNMISS confirmed the fighting through spokesman Joe Conteras in Juba, but has yet to provide further details.
The UN base housing an Indian contingent of peacekeepers was overrun by the youths, who opened fire indiscriminately, killing people including women and children.
It is not yet clear what provoked the attack. The South Sudan army's (SPLA) director of information and public relations Brig. Gen Maluak Ayuen said the incident in Bor occurred after civil society representatives delivered a memo against Machar supporters in the UNMISS compound.
Meanwhile, Machar's spokesperson James Gatdet Dak condemned the killing of IDPs "in the strongest terms possible."
"Many survivors confirmed to me that many people were killed and the base was deserted. Some of the survivors had to run to the wild, while others made it to the other official camps of the Korean contingents," he said.
South Sudan has been witnessing bloody clashes between government troops and forces loyal to former vice-president Riek Machar since mid-September last year.

Nice Chevy. Those were the days before that company went to s***.

Now we will see of they are smart enough to bring some of the cool offerings from Holden to the US as Chevys.
Or better yet - stop dinking around with electric cars and build some really efficient turbo diesels.

Most people probably fall into two categories. The kind that's afraid of getting sick and gets a flu shot every year, and the kind that says, 'Ahh, I never get real sick. I'll be fine.'
Joe Lastinger remembering his daughter Emily
Joe Lastinger didn't think much about the flu either, that is until his three year old daughter Emily got sick back in 2004.
"She would have high fevers, but then she'd rebound and be really hungry and want to run around a little bit."
Lastinger told his story to a group of health care workers attending a flu summit sponsored by Houston Community College.
His daughter was seen by a doctor on a Thursday and was sent home. But the flu symptoms lingered over the weekend until the following Monday, and that when things took a turn for the worse.
"I heard my wife start screaming from upstairs. And she had gone in and found that she had stopped breathing."
Emily was rushed to the hospital, but her condition never improved.
"Around 9:30 that night, we were told that she had there was a threshold of drugs they could keep putting into her. And we lost her."
Doctor Paul Glezen a Houston pediatrician admits, it's rare for children to die from the flu. Out of the millions of children in the U.S, 116 flu related deaths were reported last year. On the other hand, Dr. Glezen says it's much more common for seniors to die from the flu.
"An elderly person, who probably has a chronic underlying condition in addition to being old, they're more likely to die if they get the flu. Now kids and young adults often withstand the fatal end point, but many of them are hospitalized for a long period of time."
Glezen says all people should get vaccinated, regardless of their age and regardless of whether they get sick easily or infrequently. He says for some people, the flu may seem just like a minor cold, but they risk spreading the illness to others. People like Joe Lastinger's daughter, whose bodies, for some reason, are unable to fight off the virus.

I clicked on widraw funds and they mailed me my withdrawal has been approved. Then I kept waiting and waiting and waiting. Then Finally I got a mail where they stated that their merchant bank terminated their account and they cannot process mastercard payments and they have help funds for 6 months. I told them tio refund all my customers. They denied saying we dont have that power. They told me they will pay after a few days some of my funds. I tried to understand their problem but then they deleted my account.
Now My my friends signed up with them to see if their accounts are really terminated by their bank. NO.... They are still working same way with the same business model. They will keep doing that.

While only two-thirds of Texas doctors treat Medicaid patients, a Texas government agency is using tactics that might turn more doctors away from the program, according to the Texas Medical Association (TMA).
In one recent example, Texas' Office of Inspector General (OIG), a Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) agency, told San Antonio physician Milissa Aldridge, MD, that she can treat Medicaid patients only if she pays the state nearly $1 million. The OIG monitors Texas Medicaid to prevent and reduce waste, abuse, and fraud. In dispute in Dr. Aldridge's case are a clerical error and a misplaced letter from years ago.
For nine years, Dr. Aldridge practiced pediatric radiology in San Antonio ― one of only 36 such specialists in the state ― and cared for young Medicaid patients. But the OIG made her stop seeing Medicaid patients earlier this year, and demanded she repay the state $834,434.83. The OIG cites an administrative sanction she received 13 years ago when she chose to end her career as a pharmacist and become a physician. Because she chose to let her pharmacy license lapse to inactive status during medical school, Medicaid excluded her from participating in the program as a pharmacist. But she was unaware they had excluded her, so she did not report that on a Medicaid provider application in 2000. Unknown to her, the 13-year-old action meant she should not have participated in Medicaid all these years.
After the OIG banned her from Medicaid, Dr. Aldridge appealed for permission to see Medicaid patients again. The OIG first denied the request, then offered her this deal to entitle her to care for Medicaid patients: She could pay back the $800,000+ that Medicaid paid her for treating all those patients, or it would keep half of all her future Medicaid earnings until she repaid the full amount. Only by paying back what she had earned caring for Medicaid patients could she treat more Medicaid patients.
One TMA physician leader calls this extortion.
"If the [OIG] inspector general truly believed that this was fraudulent billing, it's his responsibility and duty to turn this case over to the attorney general for criminal prosecution," says John R. Holcomb, MD, chair of TMA's Select Committee on Medicaid, CHIP, and the Uninsured. "Instead, the office has sent Dr. Aldridge a letter demanding more than $800,000 as the price of letting her back in the program," he said.
TMA's Patient-Physician Advocacy Committee recently reviewed Dr. Aldridge's case. "Based on the information we heard from Dr. Aldridge and her attorney, it raises the concern of whether the OIG is functioning to protect the integrity of the Medicaid program or acting as a revenue generation mechanism," says Chair Robert H. Emmick Jr., MD. He adds that it raises "a question of the lack of common sense and proportionality for the issues that the OIG is addressing."
Because of the sanction, Dr. Aldridge lost her job with her medical group, Radiology Associates of San Antonio PA. She also lost her faith in Texas' Medicaid system. "You think you're doing the right thing, and then someone tells you you're not doing the right thing and are a criminal," she says in the July issue of TMA's Texas Medicine magazine .
Other doctors have faced similar OIG tactics. The OIG accused Charles Turner Lewis, MD, of overbilling in 2004 and 2005, and told him to fork over $439,109.67. Investigators at the Office of the Attorney General of Texas examined Dr. Lewis' charts and interviewed him and his staff for a week during the summer of 2007. Ultimately, the AG's office approved of Dr. Lewis' billing practices and information, so the OIG backed off.
Dr. Lewis' attorney, Hugh Barton, JD, says Dr. Lewis' story is encouraging because, "If physicians want to fight hard enough, they can be successful against the OIG."
Dr. Lewis has become an advocate for physicians' rights. His ordeal led to proposed state legislation to bring transparency to the way the OIG reviews physicians' Medicaid claims. The legislation would give physicians due process if accused of inappropriate activity. By bringing fairness to the process, the legislation also would enable the state to recruit more physicians and health care professionals to participate in Medicaid. But the legislation ultimately died along with many other bills in the final days of the 2009 legislative session.
Dr. Emmick worries the OIG's tactics send a message to Medicaid-participating doctors that they are at high risk of OIG scrutiny ― which may intimidate more doctors to shy away from the program.
TMA physician leaders believe that the OIG should dole out harsh punishment only when a case merits it, instead of driving physicians out of the Medicaid program. Patients ultimately suffer the consequences, they say.
TMA is the largest state medical society in the nation, representing nearly 44,000 physician and medical student members. It is located in Austin and has 120 component county medical societies around the state. TMA's key objective since 1853 is to improve the health of all Texans.

Through a neighbor, Shanti was encouraged to join an orientation meeting hosted by a Water.org local partner, Mahila Housing SEWA Trust. As part of that meeting Shanti learned about the importance of water and sanitation along with how she could take out a loan for those needs. After discussing it with her husband, she filled in an application to join the Joint Liability Group for toilet construction.
Shanti is paying back her loan installments on a regular basis and is happy to use her in-house toilet for defecation. In Shanti's own words, "I like the idea of taking a loan for toilet construction and paying back in small installments because it is affordable for poor people like us."

I told them I paid shipping to send it back so we are even. They said no that I owe for shipping. First bill was $10 and some change, now it's $18 and more change! Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin Internet

I ordered a wireless microphone from stoneberry.com. When I received the microphone it was a plastic, cheap, piece of crap that did not work. I paid $10 and some change to have the item returned because they do not offer return labels. A week later I got a bill from stoneberry. I called and asked whats the bill for I returned the wireless microphone. I was told that they were charging me for the shipping since I returned the item. My mouth fell to the floor! I just paid to have it shipped back to you because it's cheap and doesn't work. Sir, since you returned the item we are charging the shipping cost from when we shipped the item to you. But like I said I returned the item. I understand sir but you have to pay us for shipping. At that point I'm very irritated and hang up.

Air Filter cleaning
So I want to clean my air filter...I have an AIRAID with the specs/part # below:
Airaid #028-700-458
Universal Cone Air Filter
7'' Base w/Short Flange
4-5/8'' Top
7'' Height
4'' Flange
My question is, can I use my old K&N filter recharger kit on this filter? I also want to know where I can find those little filters everyone is using to eliminate the breather tube accross the engine bay.....
Please recommend a "better" filter if you know if you know of one that has those same specs that I could replace it with (and your reasoning)...thanks in advance
Re: Air Filter cleaning
I want the "little" filter and my main air filter to match...so please post pics if you get em and/or links to products that would work. Anybody know the right dimensions of the "little" filter I want to get?
Re: Air Filter cleaning
If your filter is a dry filter, you can just use compressed air or vacuum it.
Re: Air Filter cleaning
It's not a dry filter...my question is will my K&N filter recharger kit be ok to use on this AIRAID filter? Meaning, is air filter oil and cleaner the same for all oiled filters? Or is there differences b/t K&N and AIRAID that would cause problems if I used the ones cleaning kit on the other??
Re: Air Filter cleaning
i dont see any reason why you can't use one oil kit on another brad. call up airraid and ask them. i'm pretty sure you can
Re: Air Filter cleaning
that is what I am think to Irfy...I have an email into their customer service. thanks bro
Re: Air Filter cleaning
np brah!
Re: Air Filter cleaning
Re: Air Filter cleaning
I had an airraid filter and I called them to ask the same thing.....you can use the K&N oil and cleaning agent. its the nsame thing they sell for the airraid filters.
Re: Air Filter cleaning
Thanks Scott! + rep
jeepster23 - I think the main and probably only benefit is not having a breather-tube run from the intake across engine...
Re: Air Filter cleaning
Thanks for the info 08hemi
Re: Air Filter cleaning
brad did you clean your's yet? i want to clean mine and put a dry charger on it

I need to find a doctor in NY, NJ, PA, MA or CT who does sillicone microdroplet facial injections for nose-to-mouth and puppet lines.
I Need a Doctor in NY, NJ, PA, MA or CT Who Does Sillicone Microdroplet Facial Injections
Doctor Answers 5
Silicone Excellent Filler When Done With Proper Technique By Expert Injectors
Liquid injectable silicone is an excellent and perfectly safe filler for facial lines or volume depletion when injected with the proper technique by a well-trained, board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon. It is important that you find a physician who has a lot of experience using silicone and who is going to take the time to educate you on silicone and make you feel comfortable with the treatment. Feel free to browse through our website where we have a lot of information about silicone and a gallery of before and after photos.
Web reference: http://www.barnettdermatology.com/treatments.php?id=16
Liquid Injectable Silicone (LIS) may be safely used by experienced physicians for permanent improvement of your facial wrinkles.
LIS is a permanent filler, so your results, good or bad, are permanent. You must find a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced with the micro-droplet technique of LIS administration . You should also have a discussion with your doctor about the FDA's position with respect to using LIS in an off-label fashion to permanently reduce the appearance of your wrinkles. Lastly, you should see many before and after photos demonstrating beautiful results before you pick your doctor and proceed.
Problems with Silikon-1000 injections are infrequent, and include visible bumps or nodules at the sites of injection. This is typically from overcorrection, or injecting too superficially. Most silicone bumps are easily treated with dilute triamcinolone injections, or sometimes light electrosurgery.
I've attached a link to my Silikon-1000 photos here on RealSelf for your perusal.
I hope this helps, and best regards.

Silicone Injections
Silicone injections are very safe when medical grade silicone is used by an experienced injector. Silicone was one of the very first injectable fillers ever used. Some doctors use it but don't like to publicize it. The horror stories are usually from basement non-medical injectors using industrial silicone.
There are some examples on my website.

Caveat emptor or buyer beware with regards to silicone injections. This is not approved for injection to the face. It historically has been frought with problems.

Silicone Injections: Be careful
Silicone injections in the face (even refined medical grade products like Silikone 1000) are strictly off-label. With the variety and longevity of fillers available, and the notorious history of silicone injections, I would recommend that you think twice about having this done.

|st: Clustering
|Thu, 01 Aug 2002 12:02:46 +0100
Dear Statalisters I am estimating a logit model with clustering. The unit of analysis is the record of an individual within an establishment. I am using the cluster() option to account for the fact that although the sample of establishments may be randomly obtained, individuals only appear if they are in one of the chose establishments. However, my question is whether the cluster() option is the appropriate method when the records of individuals are not a random sample taken from the random sample of establishments, but rather a survey. That is, they represent an 100% sample. many thanks Philip Stevens * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Don't these colored Queen Anne's Lace flowers look like fireworks? They would make a beautiful July 4th decoration and you'll have a chance to teach the kids some botony on the side. 😉 I saw Joy, You know how we're an art family, do it with her family, and me being the nature girl I am HAD to try it. I've done this with carnations and celery, but this is by far my favorite flower for this experiment!
What you need:
Freshly cut Queen Anne's Lace flowers
Food coloring (we used Easter egg dye)
Clear bottles
Now, simply color the water (10-20 drops) and add a flower to each bottle. Then wait, keep checking the flowers every 10 minutes. Let them sit overnight too, they get brighter and bolder with time.
How does it work?
There are two things that combine to move water through plants — TRANSPIRATION and COHESION. Water evaporating from the leaves, buds and petals (TRANSPIRATION) pulls water up the stem of the plant. This works in the same way as sucking on a straw. Water that evaporates from the leaves "pulls" other water behind it up to fill the space left by the evaporating water, but instead of your mouth providing the suction it is due to evaporating water. This can happen because water is very sticky–to itself (called water COHESION) and because the tubes in the plant stem are very small (in a part of the plant called the XYLEM). This process is called CAPILLARY ACTION. (Explantation from Steve Spangler Science).
We also tried this with Daisy Fleabane, the orange worked, but the rest of the flowers didn't change colors. Our next experiment will be to try and figure out why purple and red didn't work on the Queen Anne's Lace and why only the orange worked on the Daisy Fleabane.
Now I am off to press these beauties for a future activity! Enjoy!

Study on Driving Stability of Tank Trucks Based on Equivalent Trammel Pendulum for Liquid Sloshing
College of Traffic, Jilin University, No. 5988 Renmin Street, Changchun 130022, China

To investigate the driving stability of tank trucks, an equivalent trammel pendulum was utilized to approximately demonstrate the dynamic characteristics of liquid sloshing in a partially filled tank. The oscillation movement of the trammel pendulum in the tank was described under the tank-fixed coordinate system and its motion equation under the noninertia coordinate system was derived using a Lagrangian function. The motion of the pendulum that expresses the fluid cargo dynamic behavior and that of the solid truck was coupled with each other by the tank. Therefore, a tank truck dynamic model was established using Newton's first law and the angular momentum. A typical tank truck was selected and used to study its driving stability under steering angle step test. The study on tankers driving stability is of great importance for evaluating tankers driving safety, investing the main impact factor aspecting tankers driving stability, and developing active/passive roll control systems for them.

Something odd appeared in December's survey. On question 3 which asks the user how excited he or she may be to receive any of a list of smartphones. On that list is the Apple iPhone 5, Motoroloa Droid RAZR MAXX HD, Nokia Lumia 920, Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC Titan III. HTC Titan III?
Back in June, we caught word about a leaked Windows Phone device roadmap from HTC. On that list was the HTC 8S, code named Rio, the Accord which is the Windows Phone 8X, and the Zenith. The Zenith was thought to be the upper scale model of the bunch, featuring a 4.7-inch 720p Super LCD 2 screen, 8MP camera, and a top-end Qualcomm processor, rumored at the time to be a quad-core unit.
Word was that the Zenith would be available by Christmas. Since we have not seen a trace of this device in any way shape or form, and no mention of it was made at the Windows Phone 8 event in San Francisco, we will safely assume that the survey reference was merely a typo and the survey option should have read the "HTC 8X" or something. Perhaps the device was shelved or never existed. Besides, all the Windows Phone 8 devices run the same dual-core processor.
We could speculate all sorts of ideas, but instead we will let you determine your own fantasy. So, if you were to read between the lines, what would you think about the idea of a sequel to the HTC Titan II?

His team made all-state several times and he was the leading hitter in state tournaments in 1949 and 1950. Bobby Joe was inducted into the N.C. Softball Hall of Fame Jan. 30, 1999. He was a United States Army veteran serving in World War II.
He is survived by two daughters, Shirley Parham and her husband, Jimmy, of Fletcher and Debbie Huskey and her husband, Gary, of Apex, N.C.; two brothers, Kenneth and Buford Mease, both of Canton; a sister, Adeline Ballard of Canton; three granddaughters; a grandson, two great-grandsons; and two great-granddaughters.
Graveside services were held at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 27, at Morning Star Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 2 to 3 p.m. prior to the service at Wells Funeral Home of Canton.

New Delhi: Virender Sehwag is likely to play his first game for Delhi DareDevils in IPL-VI against Sunrisers Hyderabad, here, on Friday.
The opener did not play the first three matches due to back spasms, but has now recovered pretty well. He is expected to have a full-fledged training session on Thursday.
"He had a good session in Mumbai prior to our match against Mumbai Indians… In fact, he could have played. But he had some discomfort due to which we decided not to risk him. We don't want him to play one match and then miss the next few matches. I am hopeful that he will be playing our next match," DareDevils team mentor TA Sekar said at the team hotel.
Sehwag's absence has DareDevils' chances in the tournament as they have lost all the three matches so far.
The Sehwag-David Warner opening combination might prove to be lethal and is expected to perform much better than the Warner-Unmukt Chand duo.
For the record, Unmukt is in poor form. He got out off the first ball in two of his three innings thus far. With Manprit Juneja scoring 49 against Mumbai Indians in the last match, it will be difficult for the team thinktank to fit in the former under-19 India captain in the playing XI once Sehwag returns to action.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Bryce Cotton scored 24 points, and Vincent Council added 15, leading Providence to a 69-66 victory over Villanova Saturday afternoon.
The game was a tale of two halves for Providence (10-8, 2-4 Big East). The Friars trailed 31-24 at halftime, but outscored Villanova (11-7, 2-3) 45-35 in the second half.
JayVaughn Pinkston paced the Wildcats from the start, scoring 10 of Villanova's first 13 points. The Wildcats went on a 15-2 run over a 4-minute span late in the first half.
Villanova found itself in foul trouble with 14 fouls in the first half, putting the Friars in the bonus at 10:33. But Providence could not capitalize at first, making just five of its first 14 free-throw attempts and 11 of 20 in the half. Furthermore, the Wildcats finished the half with seven players with two fouls, avoiding any major foul trouble and ending the half with the lead.
The second half was a different story for Providence, which began the period with a 13-4 run, marked by seven from Cotton.
Villanova started the half with seven turnovers on its first twelve possessions, finishing the game with 25 overall. For the Friars, Kris Dunn had two steals in the first 2 minutes of the half, contributing to a team total of 12.
The Friars and Wildcats matched each other basket for basket for the final 10 minutes. Momentum gradually shifted from the Wildcats to the Friars, who never trailed in the final 5:14.
Vincent Council stepped up big for the Friars during this stretch, tallying nine of the Friars' 11 points leading up to the five-minute mark
Cotton hit a key 3-pointer with 1:02 left that appeared to seal the deal for the Friars, putting them up 63-57.
"It was a big shot," Cotton said. "I couldn't hit anything, but LaDontae (Henton) set a great screen, and finally gave me enough space to knock down the shot."
After a Dunn dunk widened the lead to 65-57, Villanova cut the lead to 67-62 with two free throws by Darrun Hilliard and a James Bell three-pointer.
A Dunn technical foul that led to two Ryan Arcidiacono free throws cut the margin to 67-64 with 26.4 seconds left.
"He's young, he's growing, he lost his mind and it almost cost us the basketball game, but that's something I won't let him forget, and it will be a learning experience for him," said Providence coach Ed Cooley of the Dunn technical.
Villanova could not capitalize on the ensuing possession, however, and free throws by Dunn and Cotton put the game out of reach.
"If we defend, I think we have a chance to win basketball games," Cooley said. "We missed a ton of free throws and a ton of layups, but I thought our defense carried us today."
Providence led Villanova in offensive rebounds 19-9 and held the Wildcats to zero offensive boards in the first half. This after the Wildcats tallied just one offensive rebound in their last game against Pittsburgh.
Villanova coach Jay Wright pointed to turnovers as the main cause of the Wildcats' loss, calling the team's 25 giveaways "unheard of."
Pinkston led the Wildcats with 20 points, and Hilliard added 14.
"(We) came out with more toughness in the second half," Pinkston said. "I think we handled the pressure really well. It was just the turnovers and the little things we need to get better at."
Providence will move on to host Pittsburgh on Tuesday night. Villanova will return home to take on Louisville on Tuesday.
