Rihanna Gets Waxed in Washington D.C.
Rihanna was immortalized today when her new wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds Museum in Washington D.C.
Rihanna's wax double will find a home in the museum's Glamour Room along with A-listers that include Beyonce, Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Lopez.
Photographers for Madame Tussauds reportedly pored over hundreds of photographs and video footage in order to get Rihanna's features just right. The pop songstress donated the outfit for her wax double — black skinny pants, a black lace corset, black fitted jacket and black silk heels — which were modeled after her one of her outfits from Paris Fashion week last Fall.
In other news, the Barbadian singer recently took control of her official Twitter account, telling fans that they could expect to hear directly from her, from now on. Her most recent tweet was directed at TV and radio personality, Ryan Seacrest, promising him a preview of her new material. "In less than 10 dayz ima send u sumn special, and ur gonna play it over and over, like I'm the only girl in the world!" she wrote on Tuesday morning.
The first single from Rihanna's fifth studio album — due in November — is reportedly titled 'Only Girl.'

One Year Since I-75 Disaster
Not much has changed at the spot on the highway.
The same spot which changed so many lives one year ago.
Last January 29th, a pile-up on I- 75 killed 11 people and left almost two dozen people with injuries.
That horrible day ultimately forced the state to make some safety changes, including new training for procedures during bad road conditions.
But those changes come too late for those traveling through Alachua County one year ago this morning.
It's been one year since the deadly wreck on interstate 75.
911 caller said, "here comes another one. he's coming too fast. yea there you go."
Soon after, six crashes occurred on both the north and south bound lanes.
A total of 24 vehicles were involved including four semi trucks.
911 caller said, "we can't see. we can not see, it's like impossible to see."
Some vehicles came to a complete stop on the interstate, causing others to smash right into them.
Lieutenant J.J. Moran with the Alachua County Sheriff's Office was one of the first responders.
He said, "you could hear people moaning for help and you could smell the smoke of the cars burning."
Deputies paired up and went car to car looking for survivors and providing first aid.
11 people died and more than 20 suffered injuries.
22 year old Vontavia Robinson of Williston died in the crash when his 2004 pontiac grand prix crashed into a car.
His mother declined an on camera interview.
27-year old Christie Nguyen was on her way back from a trip down south, when her life was cut short.
Nguyen left behind her five year old son named Drew.
Nguyen's attorney Daniel Glassman said, "it's very hard for someone that age to understand. at first he kept saying when's mommy coming home, when's mommy coming home. the reality that mommy is never coming home is very hard especially for a child. "
Nguyens parents hired attorney Daniel Glassman.
He has not filed a lawsuit against the Florida Highway Patrol, but has sent a notice of intent to file.
Glassman tells me why the family made the decision to hire an attorney.
Glassman said, "One to make sure this never happens to another family again. secondly, is to protect drew and make sure he is provided with resources because of the loss of his mother had been stolen away from him."
Since the I-75 crashes, FHP has received 26 letters of intent to sue.
After the Florida Department of law enforcement wrapped up their investigation, it revealed that FHP did not follow certain procedures.
The Florida Forest Service was not notified of the smoke or fog incident, a spot weather check from the National Weather service was not obtained and the evaluation of their visibility occurrence risk index level was not completed.
Glassman later said, "all anybody is asking is for the state of florida to come by and say yes we bare some responsibility and let's see what we can do to make it better."
FHP officials did not want to go on camera because of the impending lawsuits.

An imposing structure of Nandi – the bull of Shiva welcoming visitors, a stone-pillar that hangs above the floor of an age-old stone-temple and sculptures of Hindu Gods carved out of single stones are few of the things among many that make the small village of Lepakshi special. The place is of great religious and mythological significance I had learnt and seeing the magnificent structures all around I couldn't have agreed more. But that was not what had taken me there on a bright Saturday morning. I had been feeling bored since the last couple of weeks and had not headed out anywhere. I just wanted to break the monotony. Also, given the fact that Lepakshi was just a short ride from Bangalore, it seemed perfect.
Built during the Vijayanagara Kings' period (1336–1646), Lepakshi is home to shrines dedicated to the Hindu gods Shiva, Vishnu and Veerabhadra and hence, has great religious significance as well.… continue reading

Mary Walker
Stories this photo appears in:
Mary Walker: I've laughed; now, I can call it a day
It's been a year and half since I submitted a piece to Steamboat Today. As many of you know, I had been writing updates about my experiences, observations and insights from my travels to Kenya for several years to assist a group of Maasai girls with post-secondary education.
Mary Walker: Living in the bush
The other day, I was sitting in an upscale restaurant in Karen, a very upscale suburb of Nairobi where many Kenyan politicians and non-Kenyan non-governmental organization workers live. As with all of the other upscale neighborhoods in Nairobi, Karen is within a stone's throw of a sizeable slum — it's a fairly common parasitic relationship between the "haves" and the "have nots" in Kenya whereby the Haves need myriad numbers of house help and the have nots need menial jobs.
Mary Walker: Cruel ironies
There are some cruel ironies about empowerment. As good as it sounds, empowerment means nothing to a marginalized girl or young woman in a developing country unless it leads to economic well-being, the ability to independently care for oneself or to provide food, shelter and medical needs to one's family.
Mary Walker: Empowerment opportunities for girls
I have written a lot the past couple of years about the challenges of trying to deliver empowerment opportunities to girls, specifically in my case, to Maasai girls in Kenya.
Mary Walker: Thoughts on Westgate Mall incident
As many people know, there was a horrific attack at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, in September. I was not in Kenya at the time and have not felt like commenting on it — until now.
Mary Walker: Christmas in Kenya
I am in Kenya now for Christmas. An intense rainstorm flooded the town of Narok last year during Christmas, leaving the town market underwater.
Mary Walker: My measure of success
I cannot claim to have rescued hundreds of girls. I haven't raised millions of dollars. I haven't held lavish fundraisers. I don't have a celebrity spokesperson. But I don't care, because I have seen to it that eight Maasai girls have gone to college and university in Kenya.
Mary Walker: Aid as commodity
I recently contacted a famous international nonprofit organization that provides a specific product to impoverished people in developing countries about how to, as I described it, "put an individual into the pipeline to receive the assistance that your organization provides." I got no response.
Mary Walker: Educational support in Kenya
A high school education in a developing country does nothing to train youths, particularly young women, with the skills they need to be fully and sustainably employed and empowered.
Mary Walker: Upcoming election a reminder of 2007 violence
In the 2007 aftermath of a botched election with no transparency and blatant rigging, more than 1,000 Kenyans killed one another and as many as 600,000 were forced from their homes.
Mary Walker: Meaningful aid is hard to come by
I recently watched a TV segment featuring the two founders of a partnership called the One Woman Initiative, which, as they describe it, promotes entrepreneurship and job opportunities for women in developing countries. Among other things, they described one of their projects in Uganda, a trust fund for women farmers, and noted that a $150 microloan can change the life of a woman, her family and her community.
Mary Walker: Celebrating Christmas in Kenya
Celebrations at the rescue center focus on Christmas dinner, which is served anytime between noon and 9 p.m. depending on how motivated the girls are to do all the preparations.
Mary Walker: A better path leads to a special Kenyan wedding
One of the first rescued Maasai girls to benefit from the Tasaru Girls School Fund is Janet Semerian Pere. Janet's uncle brought her to the rescue center when she was a young girl to protect her from a marriage to an old man that Janet's father had arranged.
Mary Walker: The true meaning of 'girls empowerment'
In the case of Maasai girls at risk of female genital mutilation and child marriage, some self-professed girls empowerment programs think that what girls are subjected to should not be called "mutilation" and that being sold as wives to men old enough to be their grandfathers is well-meaning social welfare.
Mary Walker: Selling of water not God's intent
In anthropological academic circles, there is no such thing as human nature. But I now think there may be a nature to being human, and if so, it's called greed.
Mary Walker: Free isn't always free
In 2003, the Kenyan government announced "free primary education for all," funded by various international education initiatives, as well as programs of the U.S. and British governments.
Mary Walker: Making progress 1 girl at a time
The project I established four years ago to provide college and university opportunities to Maasai girls from the Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre in Narok, Kenya, now is helping six girls in various programs throughout Kenya.
Mary Walker: English hampers learning in Kenya
I saw a sign in Nairobi the other day for Ultimate Spa and Beauty Palour and it got me thinking of all the funny, wonderful and sometimes very ironic advertising that one sees around Kenya.
Mary Walker: Helping 1 girl at a time
Whenever I get home from my trips to Kenya, one of the toughest things I encounter is trying to keep on top of news from Kenya.
Mary Walker: Kenyan activist belatedly honored by her government
Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize and founder of the international Green Belt Movement, was never a big hit with her own Kenyan government. But when she died, she was honored with a state funeral.
Mary Walker: Unique challenges in a different world
Today, four years after starting this effort with little more than the best wishes of friends and family, there now are several young women from Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre in Narok, Kenya, who have completed or are pursuing college and university programs with the assistance of our program.
Mary Walker: At the expense of the people
With pressure mounting on the government to do something concrete about the latest in a long line of mishandling of public funds, officials announced that indeed they could release money to schools to supplement their food stocks until the normal closing date.
Mary Walker: Thinking about water in flood season
Water levels and seasonal rains are unpredictable, cause hardships in Kenya
The high water in Routt County this season (and elsewhere in the country, for that matter) is causing all kinds of problems for a lot of people. Meanwhile, in Kenya, it's the complete absence of any predictability about water supply every year that causes life-threatening problems for its people.
Mary Walker: Thinking of Maasai mothers
On this Mother's Day, I wanted to take the opportunity to share the story of Nailois Kamwaro, who completed high school in November and has begun her studies in engineering.
Mary Walker: Post office? No. Facebook? Yes.
Maasai girls suffer from disjointed exposure to developed world
One of the girls at Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre asked that I buy them phones with Internet capability. I wanted to just laugh at first, but I understood this to be a request deriving from the disjointed exposure that these girls have to the developed world.
Documentary about Masai girls to screen Tuesday in Steamboat
Mary Walker, who is home from Kenya until early December, will screen a documentary at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in Library Hall at Bud Werner Memorial Library about the girls at the Tasaru Girls Rescue Center in Narok. "Escape: Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage in Kenya," is a movie that depicts the context surrounding the rescue center and the challenges the girls face.
Mary Walker: Anything but black and white
In East Africa, 'mzungu' is not a straightforward concept
Swahili, the "trade" language throughout much of East Africa, is not a uniform language. Under what circumstances it is used and how it is spoken varies widely throughout Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
Mary Walker: Finding optimism for the future
Aid programs offer hope as Kenya struggles despite new constitution
The new constitution for Kenya was promulgated a couple of weeks ago. The new constitution, supported by more than two thirds of the voters, has become law. The event included the signing of the new constitution by President Mwai Kibaki and some minor gaffes.
Mary Walker: Fear comes with Kenyan vote
On Wednesday, Kenyan voters go to the polls for draft of a new constitution for the country. As an outsider, it is intellectually fascinating to witness the events leading up to this historic decision. But as one who cares deeply about many specific individuals in Kenya, it is incredibly difficult to watch.
Mary Walker: Cheering for a team with 'kali' at World Cup
It is a truly unique experience to be in Kenya right now during the World Cup. No matter that Kenya did not field a team, everybody here is committed, proud and intensely focused on the performance of the African teams that are competing.
Mary Walker: Invest in a girl
Last week, two girls' lives came together across thousands of miles and cultural differences. Natalie decided to raise the funds needed to assist Florence once she completes high school and leaves Tasaru in November.
Mary Walker: Kenyans know all about fundraising
At schools, churches, and homes throughout Kenya, one often will come across a "harambee," or fundraiser. These events are meant to raise money for people to put on a wedding for a family member, build a library at a school, fund a church-run AIDS orphanage, finance a member of parliament's election campaign, or help a family with unexpected medical bills. Not so very different from fundraisers here, right?
Mary Walker: Volcano eruption's effects reach Africa
I had traveled from the rescue center in Narok, Kenya, back to Nairobi for what I thought were my scheduled flights to London and on to Denver. Although I read the Kenyan newspapers, at this point, there seemed little impact on life here in Kenya as far as I could tell. Then, my friend told me that Heathrow Airport in London was closed.
Mary Walker: Significance of a new constitution
I was sitting in a traffic jam in downtown Nairobi on Thursday. We moved a couple of hundred yards in the span of one hour. What fun. But while you are stuck in these jams, men walk among the cars selling the coolest stuff — jumper cables, maps of Kenya, socket sets, sunglasses, newspapers, the proverbial Elvis.
Mary Walker: Observations from Kenya
I know that it's time to come home from Kenya for a bit when I get all bent out of shape over a $30 difference on an intra-Kenyan airline flight. Its time to spend some time in the United States, where that amount of money barely buys you lunch out anymore.
Mary Walker: Governments of convenience
I am not a political scientist. That having been said, the development of "coalition governments" to solve power struggles in African countries will not work in the long run. Sure, in the short run, convincing the sitting president (and losing candidate in an election) to share power with his opponent in order to avert violence seems like a good idea. In Kenya, it brought an end to two months of ethnic violence, more than 1,000 deaths, and 200,000 people losing their homes. In Tanzania, it seems to be helping with inflation so bad that a banana today costs what a two-bedroom house cost 10 years ago. Someone recently told me that a Tanzanian currency with 15 zeros is absolutely worthless.
Mary Walker: Kenyan girls receive computer training on the Mara
I am accompanying three girls from the rescue center who just finished high school to a computer training program located in the Maasai Mara of Kenya, the premier safari location in the country.
Mary Walker: Life at the Ritz Carlton
Imagine that you have just started your first job. Your boss tells you that you are soon to go to stay at the Ritz Carlton on the Riviera for a one-month conference. Oh, and you are given a budget to buy some new clothes for the trip … Seven new girls arrived at the center last week. One of them has horrible wounds on her hand from getting caught in a barbed fence when she ran away from being circumcised. It's in situations like this that the neosporin and Tylenol I bring with me come in real handy.
Mary Walker: To b(log) or not to b(log)
I have a new work motto now that I have started a blog to disseminate information about my efforts to assist Maasai girls in Kenya that have been rescued from female genital mutilation and forced childhood marriage: You can make some of the people happy all of the time (they are my favorite!), you can make some of the people happy some of the time and hopefully the rest of the people are happy at some point during the rest of the time.
Mary Walker: Drought ravaging Kenya
The Narok area, in fact most of Kenya, is deep into a very serious drought. The long rainy season of April brought no rain to this area and at that time, thousands of Maasais and their cattle were migrating to areas as far away as Mombasa looking for water.
Mary Walker: Kenya's political drama marches on
The national political situation in Kenya continues to destabilize. Kofi Annan, former head of the United Nations and the arbiter of the coalition government that has ruled Kenya since the post-election ethnic violence of early 2008, has given the government until the middle of September to establish an internal tribunal system to try the several members of parliament who instigated, organized and funded the chaos. If parliament fails to establish an adequate system for these trials, Annan has turned over the list of these men to the International Crime Commission at The Hague, and they will be tried as war criminals.
Mary Walker: This is Africa
Continent's way of life is unlike any other in the world
From the movie "Blood Diamond" comes the expression, "TIA (this is Africa)," used when a character is trying to explain, justify or rationalize something in Africa that might be totally foreign to "westerners."
Mary Walker: Local donations reach far
Community has helped improve, supply Kenyan rescue center
Whenever I am preparing to return to Kenya, as I will be next week, I take the time to reflect on the progress of the nonprofit Tasaru Scholarship Fund that I established just 18 months ago.
Mary Walker: Where snakes smell like potatoes
One Sunday, I was walking back to the Rescue Centre from church with Fridah, who at 10 years old is the oldest of four AIDS-orphaned siblings.
Mary Walker: Local Rotary Club helps Kenyan girls facility
My formal responsibility for the girls at the Rescue Centre is administering the nonprofit college fund that assists them with post-secondary education and job training. But when I am at the centre itself three times a year, I become involved in the day-to-day operations of the centre and the challenges for all of the girls there - young and old - including their education, physical health and emotional well-being. It is unavoidable.
Mary Walker: Fund makes all the difference
At the time of my last update of my work at the Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre in Kenya, the nationwide teachers strike had paralyzed primary education in that country. I described the possible repercussions if the strike moved into secondary schools, which was to happen any day at the time of my writing.
Mary Walker: Teachers strike hurts Kenyan children
A nationwide teachers strike has taken hold in Kenya. About four weeks ago, KNUT, the most influential teachers union in Kenya, announced that all its members would go on strike Jan. 19.
Mary Walker: Getting out of life's black holes
Clark resident helps Kenyan girls deal with challenges
There have been several incidents at the centre recently that highlight the uncertainty, emotional roller coaster, and outright injustice the girls here face daily. As a cultural outsider, it is difficult if not impossible for me to involve myself in any meaningful way. Although the girls often look to me for assistance with their "problems," as they call them, I have to restrict my role and let the system itself take over. It can be excruciatingly painful to stand by while girls suffer emotionally.
'Good night' takes on new meaning
Clark resident Mary Walker provides an update from Kenya, where she works at a safehouse for Maasai girls.
Mary Walker: Kenya's differences create hurdles
Editor's note: Clark resident Mary Walker works at the Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre in Narok, Kenya. The center was built in 2002 with funding from the United Nations, and it provides a safehouse for Maasai girls who have run away from their families to escape or been rescued from female genital mutilation and forced childhood marriage. Walker's updates from Kenya will appear periodically in the Steamboat Today.

Celebrity fragrances are given names such as "Forbidden Rose" and "Radiance" - but if New Zealand had a scent, it could well be called "Cowpat".
An Ambi Pur survey asked Kiwis what smell best represented their country. First choice was a sea breeze at a bach, with 53 per cent backing, while 19 per cent opted for the distinctive whiff of a sheep or dairy farm.
Fifteen per cent thought the smell of fish and chips best summed up New Zealand, 10 per cent opted for the smell of a hangi cooking and 4 per cent suggested a wet rugby field.
Rubbish dumps, freezing works, fish markets and Rotorua's sulphur-rich geysers and hot pools were all named as some of New Zealand's worst smells.
Nearly half those interviewed - 49 per cent - said rubbish dumps smelled most offensive, 28 per cent nominated the freezing works, 13 per cent fish markets, and 10 per cent Rotorua's pong.
Forty-seven per cent said the smell of their mother's cooking most reminded them of home, with a wood fire burning nominated by 27 per cent.
Nearly three-quarters of people used air fresheners in homes, with vanilla the most popular scent.
Psychologist Sara Chatwin said people linked smell to associated experiences.
"We often spend our summer breaks at seaside locations making the most of our great beaches, so I think the smell of the sea and beaches remind us of those times."
She said people might be surprised to learn why they liked their homes to smell of vanilla.
"Research has often pointed out the linkages between the scent of vanilla and our early positive memories of our mother's milk nurturing us."
Smells that best epitomise New Zealand:
* Sea air at the bach: 53 per cent
* A sheep or dairy farm: 19 per cent
* Fish and chips: 15 per cent
* A hangi cooking: 10 per cent
New Zealand's worst smells:
* Rubbish dumps: 49 per cent
* Freezing works: 28 per cent
* Fish markets: 13 per cent
* Rotorua's geysers, hot pools: 10 per cent

Should I Change My Company's Name?
I recently started a limited liability company (LLC) but have not purchased a company with it yet. I also haven't set up any credit accounts or bank account for it. My goal is to establish good business credit, which may in part assist me in purchasing a business. Would changing the name of the LLC affect any potential business credit? If so, should I just start a new LLC? What are the positives and negatives?

In addition, if your goal is to build up business credit in one entity, forming a new one would seem counterproductive, as you'd only have to start all over again with that new entity. The name of the company alone is not really a factor in determining the credit-worthiness of a company.
What could be a factor is the nature of the business you currently have (and for which you're trying to build the credit) and whether that's similar to the business you want to buy. If not, any proposal you make to the bank to obtain a loan or other line of credit will have to explain why you and the company are a "safe bet" in this new line of business.
You'll want to sit down with your banker (assuming you intend to apply for bank financing) to get to know the bank's criteria for offering financing when it comes to buying a business. You may well need it if your new company doesn't have enough assets on its own to purchase a business.
Be sure to have worked out some kind of business plan, as that will give your banker some degree of comfort level that you have a sound strategy for using the money and repaying it.

The word yoga means "union" in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India. The practice of yoga focuses on achieving harmony and balance between the body, mind, emotions and spirit. To achieve this, yoga uses movement, breath (pranayana), posture (asana), relaxation and meditation in order to establish a healthy, lively and balanced approach to life. For many of us unfamiliar with yoga, this conjures up images of yoga gurus sitting in absurd poses while chanting. In modern context, yoga can teach us how to attain physical health, a healthy mind and enlightenment; striking a balance between our busy lifestyles and a life of balance and focused energy.

UT's NCAA East Preliminary Round Notes Package
By Eric Trainer, Associate Director of Media Relations
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Twenty-four members of the University of Tennessee track & field teams will travel Wednesday to Greensboro, N.C., where they will spend Thursday to Saturday at the NCAA East Preliminary Round, trying to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championship meet, June 9-12, in Eugene, Ore.
With the NCAA eliminating the regional qualification process after seven seasons, which had included the crowning of team and event champions at each of the regional sites, the only tangible objective this weekend is to survive and advance. A maximum entry total of 48 individuals per event and 24 relay teams must be narrowed down to 12 each by Saturday night, with those qualifiers advancing to the national meet along with the same numbers from the West Preliminary Round in Austin, Texas. Most events will have two rounds of action, with the 3000m steeplechase, 5000m, 10000m and field events having only one round necessary for advancement to Eugene.
A total of 13 Vols in 10 events and 11 Lady Vols in seven events will grace the field, which is comprised of schools east of the Mississippi River, with the exception of those from Louisiana, which come east, and Illinois and Wisconsin, which will travel west. Clark is not focused on the size of the group he is taking, but rather the quality of the unit.
"Really, it's not the size of the group, it's what you have in the group, if you're talking about potential scoring at nationals," UT Director of Track & Field J.J. Clark said. "We are going to go to Greensboro and do the best we absolutely can. We have some people who can score at the national meet, who have scored at the national meet, so we just always go to this level of meet with the plan of doing our very best and putting ourselves in position to advance."
Competing in running events for the Tennessee men are seniors Evander Wells and Kyle Stevenson in the 100 and 200 meters; senior Samdi Fraser in the 400m; sophomores Joe Franklin and Emerson Peacock, and freshman Terrance Livingston in the 800m; junior Peter Sigilai in the 1500m; junior Michael Spooner in the 10,000m and senior John Hewitt in the 400m hurdles. Field event qualifiers include senior Brad Holtz and sophomore Robert Rasnick in the pole vault; sophomore Desmond Brown in the long jump and senior Matt Maloney in the javelin throw.
The top ranked Vols are Wells in the 200m (3rd, 20.45), Maloney in the javelin (3rd, 230-11) and Brown in the long jump (6th, 25-9 1/4).
Earning a spot in the running events for the UT women are seniors Phoebe Wright and Kimarra McDonald, and sophomore Ramzee Fondren in the 800m; sophomore Brittany Sheffey in the 1500m; senior Jackie Areson in the 5000m; sophomore Ellen Wortham in the 400m hurdles and the 4x400m relay team of freshman Martinique Octave, Wortham, McDonald and Wright. In addition to the 22 conventional UT qualifiers, senior Jena' Murphy and sophomore Charity Honeycutt are expected to be the alternates for the relay team.
UT field event qualifiers include freshman Aslynn Halvorson in the discus throw and junior Holly Kane in the javelin throw. Kane is recovering from a nasty spill she took on a slippery runway at the SEC meet, but she is expected to compete.
Areson and Wright are the Lady Vols' top ranked competitors. Areson rates first in the East in the 5K at 15:51.56, while Wright is second in the 800 with a best of 2:01.81. Both won SEC championships in those events two weekends ago.
Sophomore 800m runner Chanelle Price, meanwhile, will not make the trip due to an injury to her right foot. Price, who competed at the Penn Relays but hadn't yet posted an open 800m time, was entered in the league meet two weeks ago before being scratched prior to the prelims. Junior thrower Annie Alexander also will not be available, as she is redshirting this outdoor season.
"Our goal is to take this group, maximize what we can do and continue to improve as the year goes on," Clark said. "I think we are coming off a better performance from the men's side at the SEC meet. We just have to continue to go out and compete with a purpose and a mission, and I'm sure we will."
The fact that his troops, just two weeks after the conference meet, will have to battle against all but one of the schools in the SEC (Arkansas), widely considered the top track & field league in the nation, was not lost on Clark. In this week's USTFCCCA Rankings, Florida (1st), LSU (5th), Auburn (9th), South Carolina (10th), Mississippi State (13th), Georgia (15th), Ole Miss (16th) and Alabama (23rd) all reside in the men's top 25. On the women's side, LSU (3rd), Florida (7th), Auburn (8th) and Arkansas (9th) are ranked within the top 10.
"The preliminary round of the NCAA meet is very demanding for the student- athletes," Clark said. "To have to come back and face nearly the entire SEC, plus some other teams, is tough, but that is the nature of the beast. We're going to do our best to handle the situation that's given to us."

text: I put together a basic step by step about this leather fork stopper that I made to match these grips I made. You can see the grips here. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=57728 Leather cut to size. Drew a grid on the leather with a pencil. Stamped using drill press. Arbor press would be much better. Fininshed embossing Sanded the edges round then colored leather with leather dye. Drilled holes using drill press and started lacing. Lacing complete. I put a cork backing in for grip, padding and to wick any potential moisture away from the paint. Finished lacing, facing down. Then applied finish top coat to leather. Done!

Good morning! Today we're posting FAQs for Regular Decision admitted, waitlisted, and denied students. The questions for admitted students are in this post, please scroll down to the next posts for waitlisted and denied FAQs.
I've been admitted! Yay! Now what?
Congratulations! We hope you'll decide to make Carolina your home for the next four years. We might be biased, but we think it's about the best undergraduate experience to be had. We'll do our best over the next month to help you find out all you can about Carolina, so that you can decide if it's the place for you. One of the best ways to get to know our community and the opportunities available here is to join us for one of our admitted-student events. An invitation to Explore Carolina is included with your paper letter of admission (which should arrive within the next 2-3 days), and you should have received more information via email on Saturday. From the events section of your MyCarolina, you can view all of your admitted-student event invitations.
Our Enroll pages have detailed information on the next steps you'll need to take when you're ready to enroll.
Will I receive any merit scholarships?
Regular Decision applicants who are being considered for merit-based scholarships were invited to our Scholarship Day event earlier this month. The majority of the merit-based scholarships offered by Carolina are awarded to the students who attend Scholarship Day. As a public institution, the vast majority of our resources are devoted to need-based aid, so we only have a small number of merit-based scholarships to award. We wish we could offer more, but our first commitment is to a strong financial aid program that will make it possible for any admitted student to attend.
If you aren't initially offered a merit-based scholarship, please know that at Carolina you will have many opportunities to earn a variety of awards once you arrive on campus. Read more about Scholarship Opportunities for Carolina students.
Am I being considered for honors or other special opportunities?
On Friday, we sent an email to select admitted students regarding Excel@Carolina, a special program featuring eight extraordinary opportunities for outstanding first-year students. In the email, we ask students to indicate which of these opportunities they're most interested in. We'll then use those preferences as part of our final decisions about these opportunities. All students who complete the survey will be notified of which opportunities they've been selected for by April 15.
What about financial aid?
All students who applied for financial aid by the priority deadline of March 1 will receive their aid in the next few weeks. The Office of Scholarships and Student Aid awards student aid packages as quickly as they can, but you can help by making sure they have all of the information they need. Check your To-Do List in your ConnectCarolina Student Center periodically to make sure they haven't requested more information. Also, create your Onyen and UNC email account, as that is how the Student Aid office will communicate with you. More info is available on the Student Aid website.
Have questions for UNC students?
Join the Facebook group Admitted: UNC 2018 to connect with both other admitted students and current UNC students. Within the group, you can ask current students any question you like, and you'll also get a chance to meet other admitted students who are considering Carolina. If you're active on Twitter, ask questions and meet fellow 2018 students using the hashtag #2018.
Congratulations again on your admission to Carolina. We look forward to welcoming you in the fall!
Mar 31
For those of you who received a waitlist decision, we're sorry to ask you to wait even longer for your final decision. We know you have already waited so patiently, and we know how frustrating this can be – particularly for those of you who applied early action.
If you accept a place on our waiting list, we'll consider you for any spaces that are available in the class after we hear back from our admitted students by the May 1 enrollment deadline. In the early part of May, we'll determine how many spaces are available, and we'll review the applications of all of the students who accepted a place on the waiting list. Since the list isn't ranked, there's no way to predict any student's chances of admission. How many waitlisted students we can admit varies a great deal from year to year, so we won't know for some time what this year will hold.
If we have additional space in the class, we'll begin making offers to waitlisted students by the end of May. We may make several rounds of offers, but we promise to have a final decision to all students by the end of June.
A list of FAQs is included with the paper letter you'll receive by mail, and you can also view it here. Please read it carefully as it should answer most of your questions, but feel free to post a comment below or get in touch with us if you have others.
Mar 31
If we disappointed you on Friday, we are truly sorry. We know how hard it is to receive this kind of bad news, and we really hate delivering it. Please know that it's not you, it's us. We have so many talented applicants – over 31,000 this year – and space for only about 4,000 in our first-year class. We have to deny many talented students who would do great things here.
We hope you have an amazing college experience wherever you choose to attend. But if you're interested in transferring in a year or two, we hope you'll keep us in mind. Many students who are initially denied as first-year students later successfully apply to us as transfers. You might also consider one of our great graduate programs after your undergraduate career.
Here are a few of the frequently-asked questions we hear from denied students. If you have other questions, use the comments below or get in touch with us.
Is this decision final?
Yes. We're sorry, but we can't re-consider your application this year. However, if your heart is set on Carolina, there's always the option of transferring after a year or two at another school.
Why did you deny me?
There isn't a simple answer to this question because our review is holistic. We don't deny any student on the basis of a single number or a single grade, but instead we consider everything we know about a student. We work hard to give each student a thorough, careful review but ultimately, we have to make a lot of hard decisions. The unfortunate truth is that we just don't have space for the many talented students who apply.
I have my heart set on attending Carolina one day. What should I do?
Each year we enroll approximately 900 transfer students into the sophomore and junior classes at Carolina. Transfer students bring with them a diversity of background and experiences that enrich our community tremendously, and we welcome them into the full academic and extracurricular life of the University. For more advice, please see Applying as a Transfer Student.

The C-STEP class of 2014 is leaving big shoes to fill. From this year's graduating C-STEP class we have… drumroll… our first C-STEP student accepted to dental school. Congratulations to Navid!
After transferring to Carolina from Durham Technical Community College, Navid enthusiastically joined the campus community. He took advantage of C-STEP opportunities, such as the C-STEP Peer Mentor and Shadowing programs, and also engaged with a topic close to his heart: refugee resettlement. Originally from Iran, Navid immigrated to the U.S. to pursue his dreams of becoming a dentist. Now, he gives back through his work with the Human Rights Center, Refugee Community Partnership, and Bridge Builder programs.
As amazing as Navid's accomplishments are, this latest success comes as no surprise to Brian Woodard, C-STEP Representative. "C-STEP students are eager to take advantage of opportunities, not only for their personal advancement, but also to give back to others. As a Carolina alumnus, I'm proud to see Navid leaving his heel print on the university and Carolina community."
Interested in joining the C-STEP program and pursuing your dreams? High school students can apply through April 1, 2014. Current college students can reach out to Brian at email@example.com to request more information.

Senior Hetali Lodaya joins us today to talk about public service at Carolina:
I always saw service–my parents are the people who come early to help set up and stay after to stack chairs, who dig in their pockets for loose change whenever they see a fundraiser for international work and who teach you to always finish your food, because there's someone else out there who's hungry. I was taught that service was always something done for the other person, and never for your personal satisfaction. Service was tangible acts of doing something or giving something, done because of this intrinsic understanding that it was the "right thing to do".
But what about that other person, the person I was helping? The thing that was missing from my service experiences before college, that I never really thought about, is that I often knew little to nothing about the people that I was serving, and the way in which I was (or wasn't) helping them. Through work in the Campus Y, UNC's center for social justice and student innovation, Nourish-UNC, a student organization that runs small businesses on campus and uses the revenue generated to do projects with student interns at community based-organizations abroad, and the APPLES Service Learning Program, I have met and worked with people who constantly put the "why" before the "what". Why are we here? What does this community really need? Why are certain individuals in need of service, and how can we address the underlying causes of these inequities instead of just putting bandages on the problem? Most importantly, why do I serve, and how can I do it in the most responsible, most respectful, most impactful way possible?
I still come early to help set up, and stay late to stack chairs. But I have also learned to delegate those tasks, so that if my skills are better put to use compiling and sending out meeting minutes, or coordinating with a caterer at an event, I can take on that role, knowing that the work will still be accomplished. In Nourish, students understand that taking on enormous projects abroad that sound cool often isn't the smartest use of our time and resources. We encourage our students to recognize that there are limitations to what they can give and do as college students – but that's okay. They should own and be intentional about the capacity they have, and make sure they are putting themselves in a situation where that capacity is best utilized. I still try to always finish all of my food – and as often as I can, I think about where that food comes from and how I can eat as responsibly as possible. My APPLES class on migration issues, Global Guanajuato, has opened my eyes to the economic and political drivers of migration, their corresponding effects on the agricultural and labor sectors in the United States, and ultimately, the injustice of the fact that the sweet potatoes I purchase for two dollars a pound are picked by a person who sees about twelve cents of that. I can support my local economy through my purchasing choices, and be an informed advocate for smart immigration and economic reforms on the national level.
Service isn't about being a martyr – it's about being smart enough to understand how to allocate resources, time, and people-power in any given situation, allowing every individual involved to reach their full potential and maximize the whole group's contribution. It gives me a way to move the needle through my everyday actions, and encourage those around me to do the same. My mentors and role models in the Carolina community help me every day to develop a richer, fuller understanding of why I do what I do – they have taught me to live service through every part of who I am, because it is the best way I can give back and say thanks for all the opportunities I am lucky to have.

C-STEP, a program launched in 2006, works to enable more community-college students to transfer to and graduate from Carolina. One C-STEP student, Josh Chance, didn't just attend Carolina and then graduate… he took flight.
After graduating from UNC in 2013, Josh decided to pursue his dreams of being a pilot and enrolled in flight school. When asked if Carolina and the C-STEP program prepared him for his next step, his answer? A definitive and resounding "yes!" With the C-STEP program, Josh identified a long-term goal – transferring to Carolina – and then worked hard at his community college partner school to set himself up for success. The diligence, dedication and determination needed to graduate from Carolina with his Exercise and Sport Science degree are fine-tuned skills that he feels confident that he can apply through all stages of life.
Carolina also provided Josh with unique opportunities, from cross cultural exchange with his international roommate to working for the UNC football team as a student athletic trainer. And, as a Carolina Covenant Scholar, Josh was able to graduate from UNC debt-free.

Are you a news junkie? Interested in foreign affairs, international development, politics and the world in general? At Carolina, you're in good company. And we know just the program for you – UNC's Great Decisions class.
The Foreign Policy Association hosts the Great Decisions program, which they call "America's largest discussion on world affairs." The UNC program happens to be the largest Great Decisions program of more than two thousand across the nation. What makes the program so special? For one, all of the teachers are undergraduate students. The two-part class consists of a planning semester by the undergraduate committee, during which they learn about that year's FPA topics. The second semester consists of eight high-profile speakers and recitations led by the undergraduate TA's. The program also includes outreach to local retirement communities and secondary schools.
Past speakers have included the UN Secretary-General for External Affairs, Gillian Martin Sorenson; the former Commander of the Strategic Air Command, General Lee Butler; the first-ever US Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom and former President of World Vision, Robert Seiple; and Foreign Policy Advisor to Vice President Al Gore and Director of the Sanford Institute, Bruce Jentleson.
Oh, and the program was formally applauded by former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton. #NBD.
Interested in learning more? Feel free to drop in on one of the lectures this spring – all lectures are open to the public – or check out their website. This is a class that all undergrads can partake in, either by enrolling in the class for credit or by applying to be a TA.

One of the best parts about college is having the chance to get out and see the world. While it can be hard to leave Chapel Hill, approximately 40% of our students study abroad while others do internships or research abroad. Studying abroad is a lot of fun (of course!) but at Carolina it's more than that: it's about gaining experiences that expose you to new perspectives, strengthen your resume, and prepare you to be a global citizen.
"This summer I'll be going to the Philippines to work with a human rights organization that seeks to reintegrate women who have been part of human trafficking webs back into society. We are all world citizens who seek to make a difference and I'm thankful for this opportunity to do meaningful work abroad," says Laida Alarcon, a senior majoring in Peace, War & Defense and Global Studies with a minor in Christianity and Culture who won the Frances L. Phillips Travel Scholarship.
Rodrigo Martinez, a senior majoring in Environmental Health Sciences through the Gillings School of Global Public Health went to Germany, Denmark and Sweden as part of the Burch Research Seminar in Sustainability. "The purpose of the program was for us to explore the intricacies of environmental infrastructure, renewable energy policy and economics, as well as regional and city planning. This program had a research component that allowed me to talk to some of the leading professionals about electric mobility and smart energy grids. Without a doubt, this was by far one of the best choices I have made in my life (besides choosing to attend Carolina, of course!)."
Anthony Rotunda, a senior double-major in history and economics with an entrepreneurship minor traveled to China: "I studied at one of the top universities in China, Peking University. While there, I interned at a boutique educational consulting firm researching the opportunity to expand their business model into a new market. This opportunity not only broadened my perspective on the world but also provided me an opportunity to put the skills I had obtained through my Entrepreneurship Minor into action. With the help of the Phillips Ambassador Scholarship all I had to do was get myself there!"
And, of course, we hope you get to do some sightseeing while you're abroad. Roopa Panduranga, a senior double-majoring in Mathematical Decision Sciences and Economics with a minor in Hindi-Urdu got to study at the Chinese University in Hong Kong's International Summer School program along with 650 students from all over the world. "It was as if I traveled the world by only visiting one country!" On her trip she got to explore Hong Kong and even travel to the Great Wall of China.
From internships at the United Nations in Geneva to ecological research in the Galapagos, UNC has you covered with 300+ programs in 70 countries. So, the next question is: where do you want to go?

Every year/semester/week, it seems I find something about Carolina that is My New Favorite Thing about this University – and since this is my eleventh year on/around campus between graduate school and working in Admissions, that's a stat that blows even my mind (as is the fact that I'm eleven years into this Carolina journey – whaaa??). In between the Duke game that wasn't and the Duke game that was fell an event that I've loved for the past three years: TEDxUNC.
TED is a nonprofit organization committed to sharing Ideas Worth Spreading. Over the past 26 years, it's grown from its first conference in California to a global phenomenon. TEDx conferences are a big part of that: independently organized events, they take the format of TED and infuse it with local flair.
TEDxUNC has grown from its 2012 debut in the FedEx Global Education Center to its 2013 and 2014 events in Memorial Hall. This year, breakout sessions in nearby buildings provided even more chances for us to interact and connect with organizations and offices from around campus (and chow down on some food truck noms).
This year's theme, "Taking Flight," brought together speakers that ranged from entrepreneurs to educators to musicians to scientists. Attendees were challenged to look at ideas from new perspectives, reconsider the very air we breathe and food we eat, and to connect with each other – in fact, part of our Survival Kit as attendees included the directive to "Talk to strangers."
In the spirit of this, I chatted with the woman and her daughter seated next to me; the mom is a local resident who knows speaker Dr. Debra Barksdale and she brought her 11 year old daughter. After each talk, we compared impressions (mostly "Holy cow, that was incredible…"). I couldn't help but notice that all in attendance were doing the same.
The best part about TEDxUNC? It is entirely student-run. This year's Organizing Committee is comprised of dozens of students from across Carolina who tackled publicity, fundraising, and logistics – including volunteering friends and family members to transport speakers from train/bus stations and airports in light of the snowstorm (even those stranded in DC).
It's hard to say what the highlight of the day was, as lots of things compete for that title. Getting to meet Dr. Jerry Linenger in the lobby afterwards was incredibly humbling – I shook the hand of a person who was in space (my inner monologue was shouting "ZOMG, MELISSA, IT'S A REAL LIVE ASTRONAUT!" the whole time). But honestly, I think it was seeing the work of our students come together in such a powerful way – and seeing two students in particular, Chenxi (Chex) Yu and James Carras, be a part of it. I've known Chex and James for years (I actually met James before he even applied during the J-School's Chuck Stone Program) and it is so incredible to think about all the things they've done since coming to Carolina.
So as you think about where you're going from where you are, think about how you can launch yourself to new heights and who the people are that can help you get there. At Carolina, there are so many ways to see your ideas lift off – and if along the way you experience some turbulence (which you probably will, because life), there are plenty of people here to help you balance back out.
To learn more about TEDxUNC, you can check out pictures from the event; this Storify; and this UNC Campus Update. To watch the talks, you can search "TEDxUNC" on YouTube – this year's speakers and performers will be available in a few weeks.
-Melissa Kotacka, Assistant Director of Admissions

Speaking at the Web 2.0 summit in San Francisco, Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president, engineering, is reported to have said that brand pages will be arriving on the platform soon, "with clever surprises".
He said Google+ users will be soon be able to use identities other than their own names on the site, such as nicknames.
In July this year, Google asked brands to hold off using the consumer version of Google+, telling them that a version for businesses and brands would be launching towards the end of the year.
Google+ launched in June and now claims to have 40 million users. Ford was one of the first brands to trial the network for marketing purposes.
Separately, Google has announced that Android users will be able to rent movies from Android Market to watch on their phone or tablet devices. This service launched in the US in May and rolls out to UK users today.
It follows on from updates to YouTube made earlier this month, which allow users to rent movies from the video sharing site.

What Is It?
We have been watching many variants on efficient packaging of servers for highly scalable workloads for years, including blades, modular servers, and dense HPC rack offerings from multiple vendors, most of the highly effective, and all highly proprietary. With the advent of Facebook's Open Compute Project, the table was set for a wave of standardized rack servers and the prospect of very cost-effective rack-scale deployments of very standardized servers. But the IP for intelligently shared and managed power and cooling at a rack level needed a serious R&D effort that the OCP community, by and large, was unwilling to make. Into this opportunity stepped Intel, which has been quietly working on its internal Rack Scale Architecture (RSA) program for the last couple of years, and whose first product wave was officially outed recently as part of an announcement by Intel and Ericsson.
While not officially announcing Intel's product nomenclature, Ericsson announced their "HDS 8000" based on Intel's RSA, and Intel representatives then went on to explain the fundamental of RSA, including a view of the enhancements coming this year.
RSA is a combination of very standardized x86 servers, a specialized rack enclosure with shared Ethernet switching and power/cooling, and layers of firmware to accomplish a set of tasks common to managing a rack of servers, including:
· Asset discovery
· Switch setup and management
· Power and cooling management across the servers with the rack
· Server node management

What if there was an easy way to increase employee productivity by 10% using the technology that's already in place? What would that do to the bottom line? Even a 1% gain would be significant for most large organizations. In this day and age when CIOs are competing for budget and every dollar of technology investment must be justified, CIOs should not overlook training as a means to boost employee productivity and the ROI of existing technology investments.
Unfortunately it seems that too few people really know how to use the applications they have available in an effective way. Take for example the proliferation of spreadsheets in the workplace. Tools like Microsoft Excel have amazing features that support some powerful analysis and reporting. Yet many people fail to utilize basic productivity features built into such applications. We probably all observe people misusing tools and completing work the hard way simply because they don't know any better. And Excel is just one tool that many of us use day-in-day-out. Outlook has some amazing features to boost productivity but few people know how to take advantage of them.
Even where some level of training in core ERP applications is provided to new employees, we know that very little is actually absorbed in early training. And much of IT training is focused on what buttons to press in what sequence to get a job done; very little seems to focus on how to use all the technology together as part of a productive business process.

Should employers continue to offer health insurance to their workers?
That's been the topic of sober, bottom-line discussions in corporate boardrooms across the land these past few years as unsustainable health care costs, combined with a growing public policy shift toward universal coverage, set the stage for companies to make a graceful exit from a non-core business function.
What's more, the days of the old chocolate-or-vanilla employer health plan may be over sooner than anyone expected.
Everybody, into the exchanges!
A study released last week by financial research firm S&P Capital IQ predicts that by 2020, 9 in 10 workers currently receiving health insurance through their employer will instead be managing their own health plan, 401(k) style, on a government exchange created under Obamacare.
The report goes on to estimate that by 2025, the S&P 500 companies -- America's short list of corporate giants -- would save $700 billion, or 4 percent of their total value, by discontinuing employee health plans. For all U.S. companies with more than 50 employees, the savings would be closer to $3.25 trillion, the study claims.
"According to model estimates, employers are set to benefit the most as the government takes on a larger funding role," according to the report.
Which will likely set off some strategy retooling among those wishing to repeal Obamacare.
Where is health reform taking us?
Those enticing savings, after all, would scarcely be on the horizon if President Barack Obama's landmark Affordable Care Act had not mandated that most Americans obtain health insurance or face the financial consequences -- namely, both the federal tax penalty and the catastrophic risk of "going bare."
The creation of HealthCare.gov and the other state-based insurance exchanges also helped break the "job lock" dilemma that left many employees trapped in jobs simply for the health insurance benefits.
Who knew the change could be such a corporate moneymaker? Most health economists, that's who.
Not only is America's idiosyncratic, three-party health care system costly, inefficient and increasingly ineffective, it's now outdated and unnecessary, thanks to the individual mandate and availability of government subsidies that make health care affordable.
Similar to pensions
S&P Capital IQ Managing Director Michael G. Thompson likens the impact of Obamacare on employer-provided health insurance to the 1978 creation of 401(k) plans on traditional employee pensions.
"We still expect some companies to hold on to their health care plans, just as some private companies still have pensions," he told The New York Times. "But we think that the tax incentives for employer-driven insurance are not enough to offset the incentives for companies to transition people over to exchanges and have them be more autonomous around management of their own health care."
Here's more about the brave new world of defined benefits and private exchanges.

The Recording Industry Association Of America (RIAA) has announced its latest round of lawsuits against illegal file sharers. "John Doe" suits were filed against 784 more people around the country. In a statement, RIAA Chairman/CEO Mitch Bainwol said, "On Monday, the Supreme Court provided a real shot in the arm to legitimate online music services and unanimously injected moral clarity into this debate. If there was any doubt left, there should now be none - individuals who download music without permission are breaking the law. Our efforts to defend the rights of record labels, musicians, songwriters and others in the music community from theft will certainly continue and likely be strengthened in the weeks and months ahead."
However, it seems that there is a bit of doubt out there, at least according to a new study from the Business Software Alliance (BSA). According to their results, two-thirds of college and university students do not find illegal download and file sharing unethical, with just over half believe it is an acceptable workplace practice.
Additionally, 45 percent of students surveyed said they use their campus networks for file-sharing. The same percentage believes that campus policies against illegal file-sharing are effective, though almost three-fourths of the schools' academics believe their policies work.
"Generation Y has largely grown up using the Internet and the majority of this group is extremely comfortable with technology. Unfortunately, this survey shows students who engage in these illegal behaviors are likely to continue after college and when they enter the business world," said BSA VP of Public Affairs Diane Smiroldo.
In other digital music news, the European Union is looking into ways to streamline the processes behind online music sales. According to Reuters, a new study for the European Commission recommends a less-complex method of royalties collection. A formal proposal is expected in the fall.

Closing Time: Red Sox get an assist from rain in washing away TigersTuesday, July 31st, 2012
For the first 2 2/3 innings of Tuesday night's game at Fenway Park, Josh Beckett was in complete control of the Tigers. In fact, he was perfect, and it seemed as if the right-hander was well on his way to one of his better outings of the year.
But as the theme has carried on throughout Beckett's disappointing campaign, it was not the case. After retiring the first eight Tigers in a row to start the game, Beckett wouldn't record another out. He gave up an infield single, hit a batter and then walked a pair — the last one to force in a run — and was ultimately pulled after team doctors discovered he had a back spasm. On a rainy night at Fenway Park, boos showered on Beckett.
Luckily for Beckett, however, his teammates picked him up and caught opposing Tigers ace and reigning Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander on an off night in which he, like Beckett, struggled to command the baseball while fighting the conditions. The Red Sox offense put together a four-run outburst in the fourth inning to take a 4-1 lead they wouldn't relinquish as the they beat the Tigers for their fourth consecutive win after the game was called due to rain in the sixth inning.
Though he allowed three walks, Clayton Mortensen relieved Beckett and pitched extremely well to help the Red Sox pull out the victory. The 27-year-old righty, called up Tuesday as roster filler after the Sox traded Matt Albers (with Craig Breslow still making his way across the country to Boston), pitched 2 2/3 innings, allowing one hit and no runs. He picked up the victory — first first of the year — and exited the game in the sixth to a standing ovation from the fans.
The victory was the fourth straight for the Red Sox, who are now two games over .500.
'¢ Beckett started the game exceptionally sharp, retiring the Tigers side in order in the first inning and second innings. First, he struck out Austin Jackson looking before forcing Quintin Berry and Miguel Cabrera into fly outs. In the second, Beckett generated three consecutive fly outs.
It was Beckett's first clean first inning (no runs, no walks) since June 30 and the second straight game he hasn't given up a run in the first inning. With the clean inning, he improved his 2012 first-inning ERA from 10.06 to 9.50.

In a reprieve for embattled Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday stayed his arrest till October four in two separate cases of murder and rape.
Justice L N Mittal gave the order on an anticipatory bail plea moved by the head of the Sirsa-based sect.
The Dera head had been accused by the CBI of two murders -- Dera manager Ranjit Singh and scribe Ram Chander Chattarapati -- besides rape of his disciple. The charges were framed against him in July this year.
The court also directed the sect's chief to appear before the trial court at Ambala in Haryana for seeking regular bail in the case.
