For Him and Her: Healthy Ways Couples Can Boost Fertility
You want to have a baby, but the problem is that it's not like going to the grocery store and popping some cookies into the cart. Isle 3 – babies. If only it were that easy. And, while many women don't have serious problems getting pregnant, some women do. Having a baby, for some women, is an almost impossible task. Fortunately, there are solutions that are proven and fairly reliable.
Maintain Normal Weight
Maintaining a normal weight is essential for getting pregnant. If you're overweight, or even slightly underweight, having a baby can be difficult or impossible. Being underweight isn't as obvious, but it's a common phenomenon these days due to the skewed perception that "skinny is beautiful." Some women overdo it, and in the process they're starving their bodies of the nutrients that are necessary for a normal pregnancy.
In particular, you need copious amounts of omega 3s, vitamin D, vitamin A, B vitamins (especially folate and choline), zinc, and calcium as well as magnesium. Of course, all nutrients are essential, it's just that some are a little more important than others.
If you're overweight, you may be suffering from a nutritional overload. Fat cells store nutrients, as well as cellular waste, and must be oxidized to release both the nutrients and the "garbage." Interestingly, a new study demonstrates that a 3-day fast could help kick-start a regeneration of both the immune system and the body's ability to lose weight by switching its primary fuel source to ketones.
Taurine For Him
It's not all about the female. Some studies show that taurine can boost testosterone levels in normal, healthy, males by a significant percent. In some studies, a 180 percent increase is noted. In sick, old, or diabetic individuals, the results can be more dramatic.
Increases in testosterone levels effect spermatogenesis – the creation of sperm in the testes. So, while there's no way to know whether your significant other will indeed make more sperm while on taurine, it may help.
Stop Smoking
Smoking can damage a female's eggs, and it can also prematurely age the ovaries. So, for example, a 35-year old who smokes will have the ovaries of a 42 year old. Ouch. And, smoking does permanent damage to your ovaries, so quitting now may not reverse damage, but it will prevent more damage from happening.
Smoking can also improve other aspects of health too, like lung function and heart function. Quitting places less stress on the body, requiring fewer resources to combat the oxidative damage being done by smoking.
Finally, quitting helps you save money for what will arguably be an expensive endeavor – babies are expensive to take care of.
Know Your Cycle
A normal cycle can last about 25 to 35 days. But, every woman is different. So, if you notice that your cycle is noticeably longer than the average, like 42 days for example, you can reasonably assume that you ovulate less often and so it may be more difficult for you to get pregnant since you have fewer opportunities.
This is OK, but you may need to see your OB-GYN to get advice on how to make the most of your cycle and the times you do ovulate. The most fertile days for a woman are usually the day of ovulation and the four or five days before. After ovulation, you're not as fertile.
If you don't really know when you ovulate, you can buy an ovulation kit to determine your hormone levels via your urine. This will tell you when you are ovulating and when it's best to try and conceive.
Get Fertility Treatments
According to HaveBoyGirl.com, In-Vitro Fertilization is usually the last option, or at least one of the last options, people choose when trying to conceive. A Dallas IVF procedure can be quite expensive, and yet it's the most common method advised when natural methods have failed for two years in a row.
Many doctors will want to interview you, and require you to examine the benefits and drawbacks of IVF before you get this type of treatment. But, basically, eggs are removed from your body, fertilized in a lab, and then reinserted back in you so that you can carry a fetus to term. It may not sound very romantic, but it's a proven method of conception.
It's also usually the only option proven to work when all else fails. So, if you want to get pregnant, and you can't seem to make it work, this is really your only option for conception.

WALL-E Staves off Animated Despair
I went to see WALL-E several nights ago. Before the film, as usual, we sat through a battery of coming soons, which promised a depressing run of wacky animated hijinx from Dreamworks and Disney. The former cannot make an animated film with a meaningful structure or resonant metaphor under any circumstances. Pop tedium. The Disney gang offered the stupidest movie trailer to which I have ever been subjected, which covers a great deal of ghastly material, including something about Kevin Bacon as an invisible science fiction rapist some years back. I mean really stupid. Esther Williams as a chihauhau on a Mayan set, or some dumbass thing. (Beverly Hills Chihuahau is the name of the movie. There. I've met my journalistic obligation. Dumb-ass. Chew-off-a-limb-to-get-out-of-the-trap dumb-ass.)
I was contemplating leaving the theater and surrendering my cultural passport when the feature started. Actually, a very funny short started, followed by the somber, charming, beautiful and Zeitgeisty WALL-E.
I admire Pixar's work. I think they are producing some of the most important cultural offerings of the present period, and I am not a breathless critic. I will return to the subject some other time, because I think it bears exploration. But for now, I entreat you, go see WALL-E, just to be reminded that smart sensitive people are at work in the land. The first half of the movie is as precise, economical and resonant as the most accomplished silent films, Chaplin and Keaton included. The second half is more conventional, but pays off in intertextual film references, especially to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Just go. We'll talk later.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the film. I've seen it twice, now! There's been an overwhelming amount of praise, but a couple folks in the animation industry, namely Michael Sporn, have come down hard on it because he sees it more as a special effects film, and a departure from imaginative (illustrative?) animation.
We've been talking about it a bit over at the Creative Juices blog, and in the studio at FV.
My view is that it stands up as a CG film that is most true to the form (doing what computers do best, instead of trying to recreate what hand-drawn animation does so well). Use a medium for its strengths, right? There are all sorts of visual story-telling feats as well, especially in the first half. Which are enhanced by spectacular sound design (including robot vocalizations).
There are some questionable holes in the narrative on closer inspection, and perhaps the sci-fi aspect doesn't hold up to the level of realism some of the classics were able to achieve. But I too have been urging EVERYONE to see this film. I expect is will be in crossover contention for best picture this year at the Oscars.
Pleasurable on so many levels...and rare to see such a thought-provoking film amongst the onslaught of other animated features being pumped into theaters these days.

I, too, look forward to your thoughts on Wall-E and Pixar in general. I am meanwhile trying to pretend the trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua never happened. Speak no more of it, I beg you!
I was especially interested to see Wall-E because I attempted to whet my CG appetite by seeing Kung-Fu Panda first. Seeing the two films within such a short time period (about a month) really brought home the difference between Pixar and everyone else. Kung-Fu Panda was not a bad movie, per se, but it was obviously only a pale imitation of... even Toy Story, my least favorite of the Pixar films. The storytelling, animation, and acting all fell far below the bar that Pixar raises as a matter of course with each movie they make. Pixar innovates, it seems, and everyone else imitates.
I think a big part of the lack of competent competition can be ascribed to the fact that Pixar is an animation studio first and foremost. There's a whole slew of other studios making CG films these days, Dreamworks (who did Kung-Fu Panda) being the most prominent among them. However Dreamworks, at least, works mostly with live-action movies. And, to some degree, I think they're trying to make animated movies the same way they make live-action ones. Kung-Fu Panda (and Shrek before it) rides on the strength of the actors, not the animation. If you take Jack Black out of Kung-Fu Panda, there's nothing left. It's even obvious in the marketing strategy. I don't know who did the voices for any Pixar movie character, but I know Jack Black was in Kung-Fu Panda because his name comes before the movie title in every single advertisement. With Pixar's approach, the actor behind the animation doesn't matter, which is how animation ought to work. This becomes especially obvious in Wall-E, with its set of basically non-verbal main characters, where the movie has to stand on the strength of the animation as art for the first 30-plus minutes.
Disney operated largely the same way. Disney's 2D animation competitors during the past two decades or so, which included Dreamworks and Fox Animation Studios (a division of 20th Century Fox, who are behind the upcoming "Space Chimps"), cast well-know actors for the voices behind their animated films. "The Prince of Egypt," Dreamworks' primary 2D film, stars Val Kilmer, Ralph Fiennes, Patrick Stewart, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Sandra Bullock. "Anastasia" and "Titan A.E." by Fox Animation Studios feature similarly star-studded casts. Disney, however, going as far back as Snow White, casts the voices to fit the specific needs of the film and the animation. Beauty and the Beast, for example, has a cast composed largely of Broadway actors in order to create the feeling of a Broadway musical. Even in later films, where big-name actors were occasionally cast, the philosophy seems to be one of casting the right actor for the role, not flailing about for a young adult male voice and settling on Matt Damon.
I am slowly falling in love with Pixar and CG animation (despite what this comment may imply, it has taken a long time), largely because they are picking up where Disney unfortunately seems to have left off in innovation and effective storytelling. I think the next few years of animated films will be very telling, as Pixar continues to grow (possibly in unfortunate ways--one of their upcoming films stars Reese Witherspoon) and Disney labors along (albeit in new directions--Rapunzel is a return to their roots, but using CG animation, and hopefully given a boost by Glen Keane's involvement).
And I think that's quite enough out of me, for now.

Wall-E totally looks like the robot from "Short Circuit"... minus the cheesy 80's style of course

Thank you Bob, CABoard, and Patrick for your thoughts--acute, robust commentary, especially you first two. And Patrick, yes, you are correct. I looked it up, having missed "Short Circuit back in the day. I will get back to this subject in the next week or so--I want to see the film again before I write about it. But from my perspective the heart of the matter is this: Pixar builds projects from the inside out. Dreamworks does it from the outside in, but they never get to the core. Maybe halfway into the mantle, if that. They get caught up in surfaces, gags, and an overinvestment in currency--that is "now," not "money." Odd, really, that in doing so they miss the Zeitgeist altogether. A special sort of incompetence, really.

Tape drywall joints before painting?
Hi, this is sort of painting question but also a drywall question. Just bought our first home, it's about 50 years old. We've started by removing all the wallpaper from one room. The drywall joints are not taped instead they are filled with what looks to be plaster of paris they seem hard and smoothe but if I don't tape them and cover them with joint compund before I seal/prime/paint will I get hairline cracks down the wall?
Drywall finishes are defined in 5 levels. Normally a person wants a level 4 for a good paint job. You are looking at a level 1 job. Yes.. tape the joints.
Thanks, Bob.... what I love about this board is that I learn something new and useful every day:
Thanks for your replys. My concern is that the joints aren't recessed so if I tape them I'll get a hump in the wall. What if I just skimmed over them with joint compound so they are nice and smooth? It seems like the boards don't actually touch, there's about a 1/4" gap in between the boards which is filled with plaster of paris.
Are the joints cracked now ?
They don't seem to be but I guess it might be hard to tell until I get paint on there where there could be movement, maybe some hairline cracks will stat to open up? I'm wondering is this plaster of paris jointing what they used before moren joint compound and tape. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but maybe since the paster is so hard maybe it won't crack the same as if joint compund had been used to fill the joint without tape?
plaster never had joints and plaster cracks much more than drywall, which is why drywall is so widely used. You can float out the but joint to still get an appearance of a flat seam.
They absolutely need tape to ensure they don't crack in the future. The wallpaper may have "acted" as tape to keep them from cracking. I really don't use the fiberglass mesh tape except for smaller repairs, but it does "lay" flatter than paper tape and may be an option to keep the joints from "rounding out" with paper tape. Use "setting" compound for, at least, the first coat though. Remember several thin applications are easier to deal with than "piling on" the mud to get it done quickly....

A woman was hit and killed in Hancock County Mississippi in the middle of the night walking down Interstate 10 in 1998. The family of Nelda Hardwick, a Lake Charles woman who went missing in the late 1990s, is convinced that the body in this Jane Doe grave is Nelda. According to WLOX, Ch. 13, in Gulfport, Miss., Lori Test wrote Nelda's name on the Jane Doe grave marker, and has left flowers and mementos at the grave site to honor her aunt.
Last Modified: Friday, October 18, 2013 7:35 PM
By Johnathan Manning / American Press
A hearing was held Friday in a Mississippi court to determine whether to exhume a Jane Doe thought to be a Lake Charles woman who went missing in the 1990s, but the judge has not yet made a decision.
Nelda Louise Hardwick, 34, went missing from Lake Charles on Oct. 14, 1993.
An unidentified woman was killed by a motorist on Interstate 10 in Mississippi's Hancock County on May 8, 1998.
Jim Faulk, Hancock County coroner, has asked Judge Lisa Dodson to authorize him to exhume the body to see whether the Jane Doe is Hardwick.
Dodson on Friday questioned whether scars on Hardwick and the woman match, Faulk said.
One of Hardwick's four children has provided a DNA sample, said Lori Test, Hardwick's niece.
"We appreciate all the compassion we've been given. I just hope the judge does the same," Test said.
Faulk believes the woman is Hardwick, as do her family and the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office.
"I sure do," Faulk said.
Photos of the woman match photos of Hardwick, as do other identifying marks, said Kim Myers, Sheriff's Office spokeswoman.
Lt. Micah Benoit, with the Sheriff's Office, traveled to Mississippi on Friday to attend the hearing, Myers said.
In addition to the similarities in facial features, age, height and weight, neither Hardwick nor the woman had teeth, Faulk said.
The woman's ears weren't pierced, and neither were Hardwick's, Test said.
Test said she believes the woman is her aunt, as does Hardwick's sister.
"Absolutely," Test said. "The first time I saw (the pictures) it was instant recognition.
"We feel this is Nelda."
Test believes so strongly that the woman is Hardwick that she took a marker and wrote Hardwick's name on the woman's tombstone in St. Joseph's Cemetery. Dodson told her to remove the name.
Even if the woman isn't Hardwick, Faulk said he would like a DNA sample from the woman to enter into a missing person's database.
Other law enforcement agencies have contacted him to see if the woman matches the description of women who went missing in their area around the same time, Faulk said.
Police in north Louisiana first contacted him about the Jane Doe, he said.
That led him to begin researching who the missing woman could be. Searching the Internet for photos of women who went missing around the same time, Faulk came across Hardwick's picture.
"I said, 'Wow, that looks like her,' " he said.
According to an article printed in the American Press in January 1994, authorities did not suspect foul play.
Hardwick reportedly left a note at her home at the corner of 18th and Center streets that she was walking to a convenience store.
Faulk and Test believe she could have been abducted. Test does not believe Hardwick would have abandoned her four children.
"I'd still love to know how she ended up on that highway, but we have to take it one step at a time," Test said.
There isn't much precedent in Hancock County for an exhumation, Faulk said.
He said that if the judge allows the exhumation, he will first use sonar to make sure the correct grave is dug up. Faulk said headstones may have been swapped in the rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina. He and other officials will then dig up the grave by hand, he said.

Tamra Davis' Guncrazy, a loose remake of Joseph H. Lewis's classic noir, Gun Crazy (1949), is an intense contemplation of characters under pressure. Her film lacks the tragic sweep of Lewis' film, or Fritz Lang's You Only Live Once (1937) and Nicholas Ray's They Live By Night (1949).
As the critic Andrew Sarris noted, apart from the gun fever and amour fou, Davis tells a different story (written by Matthew Bright), with a shift of point of view from the boy in the 1949 film to the girl (Drew Barrymore) in the remake. The emotions in the original are clearer than in the new version, which emphasizes trailer-park pathology and sexual impotence (borrowed from Bonnie and Clyde).
In most movies, teenagers are played by older actors, which undercuts the credibility, but Barrymore undertook the role of Anita when she was 16. Portraying the emotional wreckage of a lost adolescence, Anita is emotionally numbed by her sordid existence, clinging to her awakened romantic feelings for Howard (James LeGros), the pen-pal-convict who becomes her lover. The adventures of the gun-happy lovers are almost over before they have begun.
Davis' postmodernist manner makes every killing seem like an unintended catastrophe, though some compassion comes from Anita's loyal friend, Joy (Ione Skye) and her parole-officer father, Kincaid (Michael Ironside).

What's the secret to living longer? I was pleased to learn that it involves lots of socialising, wine, chocolate and sex - as well, of course, as the more predictable (and boring) eating fruit, exercising and talking to the dog.
Perhaps the real key is not stressing about it too much. I spoke to my aunty in England this morning, who's nearing 90.
She has never had a lifecoach, dieted or gone to a gym. She lived through the Liverpool Blitz in the war, worked from 16 and still scrubs her steps every Friday.
She has lard butties but there is not an ounce of fat on her, and has been to the doctor only a handful of times in her life, unlike the hypochondriac generation of today who can't brush their teeth without consulting a homeopath.

Quotes of the day

"Then there is that ever-important variable, time.
"In the scenario best for the Democrats, the Tea Party peaked with Mr. Brown's election, and Democrats have time to recover. 'We've had our '94 wake-up call,' Mr. Greenberg said. 'We may look back and say they played this out a year early.'…
"And then there is the skeptical view, which, like Mr. Cook, sees only the mounting problems: stubborn unemployment, a paralyzed Washington, the drip-drip of scandal and high unfavorability ratings.
"'There's more time for things to change,' he said, 'but there's more time for things to snowball.'
"A thrashing of the Democrats in the mid-terms would not necessarily be the beginning of the end for Mr Obama: Bill Clinton was re-elected two years after the Republicans swept the House and the Senate in November 1994. But Mr Clinton was an operator in a way Mr Obama patently is not. His lack of experience, his dependence on rhetoric rather than action, his disconnection from the lives of many millions of Americans all handicap him heavily. It is not about whose advice he is taking: it is about him grasping what is wrong with America, and finding the will to put it right. That wasted first year, however, is another boulder hanging from his neck: what is wrong needs time to put right. The country's multi-trillion dollar debt is barely being addressed; and a country engaged in costly foreign wars has a President who seems obsessed with anything but foreign policy – as a disregarded Britain is beginning to realise.
"There are lessons from the stumbling of Mr Obama for our own country as we approach a general election. Vacuous promises of change are hostages to fortune if they cannot be delivered upon to improve the living conditions of a people. The slickness of campaigning that comes from a combination of heavy funding and public relations expertise does not inevitably translate into an ability to govern. There is no point a nation's having the audacity of hope unless it also has the sophistication and the will to turn it into action. As things stand, Barack Obama and America under his leadership do not."
"A Republican on Capitol Hill points out that we're going through a health care press coverage time warp. In each of the following four headline pairs, one is from this morning. The other is from last year. See if you can guess which is which."

A Palestinian gestures as flames rise from the site of an Israeli air strike in Gaza / Getty Images
I'm done apologizing for Israel.
It's tiring to apologize over and over. Instead, I've decided to come clean: I am a progressive American rabbi who leans left pretty hard. I've been engaged, as a US faith leader, in work to reform gun laws, extend LGBT rights around the world, grant refuge to illegal immigrants, protect women's reproductive choice, and more. Paint me blue.
So, when it comes to Israel, many of those with whom I engage in social reform expect me to react to Israel's military actions in Gaza with scorn and criticism. To be fair, there are times when I do. My Zionism demands I speak out on behalf of the Israel that remains, in my world-view, the most ambitious project-in-process of the Jewish People. Whereas Israel's 66 short years have witnessed strength and resilience that have redefined Jewish identity in profound ways, the global Jewish family remains interwoven with Israel. If you question this, scan the last week's news for anti-Israel rallies in Antwerp, Los Angeles, Paris, Boston, and elsewhere that featured widespread anti-Semitic chants and violence against Jews.
So I'm a progressive US faith leader. I'm a Zionist in Berkeley, CA. I'm a Jew in the world, worried for my family. So here is my response to those criticizing Israel this week.
To those who suggest that Prime Minister Netanyahu is over-reacting to the missiles, I offer this response which I have now shared regularly at campus and communal conversations:
Israel is treating wounded Palestinians during this conflict, risking Israeli lives in surgical strikes to destroy weapons-smuggling tunnels created with building materials Israel allowed into Gaza for infrastructure projects to benefit Palestinian society. Just for a moment, consider the deaths that would result from Israel wishing harm on Palestinian civilians. In just the last 48 hours, Israel has allowed over 10 tons of goods into Gaza. During the past weeks, Israel has agreed to two humanitarian cease-fires. In the first hours of those ceasefires, Hamas rained down over 70 missiles onto Israel civilians.
I ask: What do Israel's enraged critics truly desire? How is it possible to hear indignant claims of human rights violations in the context of Syrians slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands, state-sanctioned terrorism around the globe, and young immigrants treated like chattel by the US and other? Israel is doing its best, sacrificing its own children to preserve the lives of Palestinians.
I also ask, regarding the world's seemingly acceptance of Hamas' tactics as the only remaining option left for a desperate leadership:
Were Hamas to truly lead its people forward to a life of stability and peace, wouldn't it use building materials for schools instead of smuggling tunnels? Wouldn't Hamas stop stockpiling weapons in mosques and transporting them in UN ambulances? Wouldn't Hamas stop firing missiles from civilian population centers if it valued Palestinian lives as much as Israel does? If Israel weren't so concerned for Palestinian lives, wouldn't it respond to Hamas' horrific decisions in kind?
I ask the enraged critics of Israel's defensive responses to Hamas: Would you have us not respond to this monstrosity? Do you think it's not worth losing the PR battle to retain our humanity and save as many lives as possible? What country would stand by when thousands of terrorist missiles assault its citizens? I, a Jew, have lost 20 of my sons in the last three days, because I will not lose my humanity and stage a careless ground war in Gaza that would cause mass casualties. Though I fight monsters, I will not become one.
My response has changed these last few weeks, in which three Jewish teens were murdered by Arab terrorists and Palestinians celebrated by distributing sweets to children and an Arab teen was murdered by Jewish terrorists and the Jewish world condemned the hatred. I am done trying to apologetically explain Jewish morality. I am done apologizing for my own Jewish existence.
Some will call this needless hyperbole. But, having watched in this last week anti-Semitic "die-ins" in Boston, violent assaults against Jews in Los Angeles and Antwerp, and an almost pogrom at a synagogue in Paris, I'm done mincing my own words.
We will do what we must to protect our people. We have that right. We are not less deserving of life and quiet than anyone else.
No more apologies.

A new study out by the liberal Pew Hispanic Center says immigration has no negative impact on Americans' job prospects.
Naturally, The Washington Post jumped on it. But while reporter Kim Hart included the study's detractors in her story, she suggested Pew was a gold standard of neutrality in policy research.
It's not.
Here's an excerpt of my article available at the MRC's BusinessandMedia.org.:
Hart added that Pew "has published respected polls and
reports on the role of Hispanics in the United States."
But Pew doesn't merely study the Hispanic population in the U.S., it
advocates policy, including more federal spending on immigrant children and a
large guest worker program.
On NPR's May 16 edition of "News and Notes," Pew Hispanic
Center's director Roberto
Suro suggested boosting federal spending on immigrants. Lamenting that "we have
an older population which has been in charge for a long time," Suro suggested
the government doesn't spend enough tax money on young immigrants and children
of immigrants.
"[I]n an area of budget tightening and fiscal issues, where
we're trying to save our money, I think accommodation needs to be made between
the older and the younger population in order to understand that these people
are America's future," Suro suggested, calling for "more resources" and "more
On the August 16, 2005 "All Things Considered," Suro
dismissed a 200,000-a-year guest worker program as too small, complaining that
"it would take a lot more enforcement" to make sure "the rest of the demand
wasn't met through illegal immigration."
He also referred to "well-functioning channels now between Mexico and the U.S. that carry people here."
In fact, a look at the Web site for Pew Charitable Trusts
reveals the organization has a strong liberal slant with public policy issues.
- Pew Trusts help to finance the Center on Alcohol Marketing
and Youth (CAMY), a liberal anti-alcohol industry advocacy group.
- Pew Trusts "advocate for universal, voluntary access" to
pre-kindergarten, a campaign staple of Al Gore's 2000 presidential run.
- Pew Trusts are "working to create a policy environment that
leads to the adoption of mandatory federal limits on emissions that contribute
to global warming."

Date of Stay: September, 2010
This is a small, nicely kept and quiet campground. We were here over a holiday weekend, it was full but still quiet. Not many children or noise making machines. All sites have mowed grass and some shade. WiFi is weak and entire setting is in a bowl, making phone reception weak also. We liked it quite a bit, stayed for a week and would come back. Nearest laundry is in Bennington, but that's not a problem.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
We only stayed 1 night. The park is big and has large, grassy sites. Some are shaded and mostly pull through. Some recreation equipment is on site and a few ponds, also a walking trail.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
We loved this campground. It is partially wooded, very large but not crowded together, feels like being at camp. Although it's an older camp in regards to buildings, the camping facilities are up to date. New owners will continue to update, especially the WiFi. Currently only available at the office area. The owners have good knowledge of the area and offer info on drives, hikes and the White Mountains. We will definitely come back.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Easy to get in and out, nice level sites. Overnighters generally put in a very open "group" area. Was fine for 1 night: a beautiful lake setting with seasonal sites.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This park was very easy to get into, with wide, level sites. If sewer was not available, free pumpout was. Each site had a shaded table area and nice grassy areas, tent sites too. Has great views of the bay and walking paths. The office staff was very helpful, lobster could be cooked and delivered to site. We spent 4 nights and it was a very peaceful, picturesque spot. We definitely would stay here again and longer.

{Baghdad Ambassador: News}
Revealed the Iraqi Foreign Ministry for the meetings held by the government with the Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David Cohen, did not lead to any agreement on the application of sanctions on Syria and Iran.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry said the government had asked the Americans an exemption from the sanctions against Iran, rejecting also be applied to Syria.
He said, however, Abawi, senior agent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "We have not reached any agreement in meetings between us and the U.S. envoy, regarding sanctions against Syria and Iran, and confined the meeting to exchange views with Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary for terrorism," adding, "We told them that our commitment to the application international resolutions must not be at the expense of the interests of Iraq. "
He Abbawi "We have asked the United States exemption from the application of sanctions on Iran," stressing that "our economic relations with Iran continues, does not conflict with the international resolutions."
Abawi said that Iraq "against sanctions on Syria, will not share the blockade," explaining that "our economic relations with Syria stalled because of the security situation, and the attacks carried out by militants near the border."
The U.S. embassy in Baghdad said in a statement that "Deputy U.S. Treasury Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Information David Cohen, visiting Iraq in an effort to continue the efforts of the Treasury Department in the face of threats from terrorist financing, as well as for the application of international sanctions signed against the Governments of Iran and Syria."
The statement pointed out that Cohen "a series of productive meetings with senior Iraqi officials, during which he discussed the importance of economic sanctions signed in pressure on the Iranian government in response to the concerns of the international community toward Iran's nuclear program."

Crying is a perfectly natural, healthy response to strong emotions. As adults when we experience sadness, despair or even anger, we can well up and use our tears as a way to release our emotions. It's well recognised that to suppress these emotions is unhealthy and can lead to a plethora of psychological issues.
As parents it can be distressing to hear our children cry. The sound of my daughter's crying breaks my heart and makes me feel almost panic-stricken. But we need to bear in mind that, as with adults, crying is a healthy way to express and release strong emotions. And we need to be careful how we react to the cries of our children, based on their developmental level.
A baby cries primarily as a way to express needs. If a baby is hungry, thirsty, cold, wet or lonely they will cry to let their caregivers know. It's the only way they have to communicate. And as such it is important that we acknowledge this expression of need and respond appropriately. We ignore a baby's cries at our peril, with the danger of missing something seriously wrong, or damaging the relationship between caregiver and child.
But as a child grows and learns more appropriate and mature ways to express themselves, crying becomes less of a communicative tool and more of an emotive one. A toddler or child may cry through frustration, anger, pain, tiredness… any number of emotions. Now parenting becomes less about responding to a need, and more about recognising the feeling behind the crying. Of course we should always try to find out why our child is crying, and whether we need to do something about it. But often it will be the case that there is nothing we can do, or they're crying because of something we've denied them. And in these cases it's important we don't try to stifle our child's cries. We need to recognise that our child is experiencing an emotion and that's it our job to be there with them while they experience this, without trying to tell them to stop crying, however distressing it may sound.
Here's my tip: If your child cries and it's obviously through experiencing an overwhelming emotion, be there with them. They need to know it's ok to express themselves, and that you accept their feelings. Strong emotions are scary for children; the worst thing you can do is tell them to stop or send them somewhere to deal with them alone! Naughty corners and time-outs can be harmful for this very reason. A child needs their caregiver to tell them it's ok and listen to them vent their feelings. Try not to distract them or disregard their feelings. What might seem trivial to you may be disastrous for them! Just be there with them, and let them know it's ok to cry, and that you love them no matter what.

Even if it isn't the presenting issue, money is often intertwined with personal and interpersonal issues. Therapists know that if you talk about money, it often addresses other concerns like self worth, trust, independence, love, security, etc. And, money is the number one source of arguments for couples and those arguments are the best indicator of divorce. As a result, many therapists and counselors use Money Habitudes cards because they:
- Are easy to learn and to use as a therapist or counselor — and the cards are simple enough that couples can do them on their own too.
- Open up a constructive, healthy dialogue about the very difficult, emotional topic of money — and do so in a way that is hands-on and participatory for clients.
- Are non-threatening and provide countless helpful conversation starters in a natural context, such as family of origin influences, financial fears and even money secrets.
- Show couples come that they have legitimate differences in how they view and use money; couples come to see each other's perspective.
- Appeal to men and women because of their tactile, hands-on format and low-stress game-like feel; people associate cards with fun and being social.
- Provide couples with a common, non-threatening language to talk about money issues rather than resorting to destructive name-calling.
- Give couples a framework in which to share potential slights, miscommunications and money secrets in a constructive way.
- Allow couples to improve their communication and understanding elsewhere in their relationship. Money touches on – and is often a proxy for – so many other important issues like power, love, control, freedom, status, generosity.
- Are a way to get couples to talk about money and make joint financial decisions, leading them to manage money better. This may mean feeling comfortable to make a budget, share duties like paying the bills or meeting with a financial planner.
- Build trust and understanding in relationships — as well as with therapists and counselors.
- Work across the spectrum of age, income and education.
- Complement other relationship skills programs (e.g., communication, conflict resolution, etc.) and can be used as an icebreaker, integrated module or standalone activity.
How it's used
- Icebreaker or conversation starter. The cards are easy-to understand and non-threatening so people feel comfortable discussing money. This can be in a counseling, classroom or small-group format. Couples can also do the activity on their own.
- Support groups. Getting people to share their money stories with their peers in a therapeutic context can be difficult. Money Habitudes is used to start supportive small group discussions, especially around topics like divorce and domestic abuse and is also used in programs for foster children, young mothers and with servicemembers and their families.
- Workshops or seminars. Therapists who teach marriage and relationship classes uses Money Habitudes cards because they are a fun, insightful but low-risk way to engage people around the difficult but crucial topic of money. While the class may be a standalone, it is often included within a series that touches on other relationship skills and topics.

VMware (NYSE:VMW), owned by EMC (NYSE:EMC), is expected to release its Q1 2012 earnings on April 18. It leads the virtualization software market and competes with players like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) and Citrix (NASDAQ:CTXS). We expect lower IT spending, pricing issues and increasing adoption of cloud computing will be key factors determining its performance in 2012.

- How Has VMware Performed This Year?
- How Has VMware Handled Operational Efficiency As It Has Matured?
- VMware Posts Steady Top Line Growth Driven By NSX, Hybrid Cloud & SaaS Offerings
- VMware Earnings Preview: Services Remain Key To Long-Term Growth
VMware has lowered its outlook for 2012 citing lower IT spending and sever shipment compared to 2011. We currently estimate the global server market to reach 50.8 million by the end of our forecast period. If the growth rate slows down to reach 48 million units instead, we expect a downside of 6% to our current Trefis price estimate.
Short-Term Trends Driving Virtualization Business
IT spending is expected to be sluggish in 2012 mainly due to the Eurozone crisis impacting investments in technology. As cloud computing becomes more popular, we expect larger players to enter this market, driving down prices. This is likely to be offset by a short-term increase in volume driven by growth markets. Due to a strong Q4, we may see a flat quarter-on-quarter growth; however, on a yearly basis, we expect the company to deliver strong growth.
Competitive Pricing Environment
As a pioneer in virtualization software market, VMware has control over its pricing, and we expect this to stabilize as more players enter the market to tap into cloud computing. We currently estimate a market share of around 44% for VMware, and expect this decline to 40% by the end of our forecast period. We however expect prices to stabilize at $5,500 per server.
We have a $96 Trefis price estimate for VMware, which is around 13% below the current market price.

TOOLS OF AMERICAN MATHEMATICS TEACHING, 1800–2000. Peggy Aldrich Kidwell, Amy Ackerberg-Hastings and David Lindsay Roberts. xviii + 418 pp. Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008. $70.
Mathematics has always been associated with teaching—the word comes from the Greek μαθημα (máthema), meaning learning, study or science. In institutions ranging from scribal schools in the ancient world to elementary schools across the modern world, teachers have tried to pass on both a collection of basic skills and the elaborate theory surrounding them.
Their students, it seems, have always found the subject difficult. To make it more accessible, teachers have deployed many concrete objects. Some of these, such as textbooks and blackboards, are so commonplace today as to be almost invisible. Others, such as slide rules and "cube root blocks," are gone from today's classrooms and have an air of exoticism about them. And some, such as the calculator, are relatively new and still controversial.
Tools of American Mathematics Teaching, 1800–2000, by Peggy Aldrich Kidwell, Amy Ackerberg-Hastings and David Lindsay Roberts, is a historical survey of several of the objects that have formed, at some point during the past 200 years, the "material culture" of the American mathematics classroom. Each chapter is an essay focusing on one particular kind of object. Some treat things that are in general use, such as textbooks, blackboards and overhead projectors. Others study objects that are found almost exclusively in the mathematics classroom: protractors, blocks, beads, geometric models, slide rules, graph paper and the like. The four final essays focus on electronic technology.
In every case, we get both a close analysis of the objects themselves and a discussion of the available texts describing (and often promoting) their use. There are many photographs, mostly from the mathematics collections curated by Kidwell at the National Museum of American History. Unfortunately, there is little record of how, or even whether, the objects in question were actually used in classrooms. As the authors remark, most of the children involved were too young at the time to have reliable memories of what their classrooms were like, and very few teachers have left us accounts of what they did and whether it worked.
The focus is strictly on mathematics education in the United States, from elementary schools to universities. Developments in other countries are mentioned only to the extent that they influenced American educators. The authors assume some background knowledge about the history of education in the United States.
Because the essays are mostly independent of one another (the last four being an exception to this), the book is an excellent reference work. One can dip into it to read about slide rules, say, without needing to look at any of the other chapters. The authors do not attempt grand conclusions, nor do they tell an overall story.
Some themes, of course, do emerge. One major conclusion is that every new gadget has an enthusiast all its own. It is a little astonishing to see such a great mathematician as E. H. Moore, writing in the School Review in 1906, announce that the use of graph paper was going to revolutionize mathematics education by allowing the function concept to be appropriately dominant. Similarly, John Holt wrote in 1964 that "the beauty of the Cuisenaire rods is not only that they enable the child to discover, by himself, how to carry out certain operations, but also that they enable him to satisfy himself that these operations really work, really describe what happens." Needless to say, graph paper had no such impact, and I have yet to hear of any child who reinvented arithmetic using Cuisenaire rods. And of course, any child who felt the need to verify that arithmetic actually works would be a mathematical prodigy for that reason alone.
Many of the pedagogical pronouncements recorded here have an air of unreality. They seem to be based on a dreamy idealism about children and how they learn, an idealism based more on romantic notions about childhood than on any sort of actual research or observation. So we read that early kindergartens had tables with a pattern of squares on them, either marked by lines or in a checkerboard pattern, in order to allow the children "to set their blocks down with perfect accuracy." Or, in the chapter on the protractor and its use, we learn that after using drawing tools for a while, children would naturally want to put away such tools and learn deductive geometry. Similarly, in an advertisement for an early mathematical software package, we read that teachers need not worry, because it did not "provide a solution's derivation, only the final answer."
One gets the feeling that these people had never actually seen a five-year-old playing with blocks, had never considered that for most students a "final answer" is the crucial thing, and that the very fact that it can be obtained without a derivation lessens the importance of derivations. It is not surprising, then, that many of these accounts include remarks to the effect that the tools under discussion were little used or that their effectiveness was dubious. In fact, one sees over and over the standard scenario: Innovations work well when the teacher is enthusiastic about them but make little difference when they go into general use.
The chapters on electronic technology are perhaps the most immediately relevant to the questions that teachers today might have. In the context of the book as a whole, today's arguments about calculators and computers appear to be just more of the same: Enthusiasts fall deeply in love with a new tool whose actual use may or may not produce the expected results. The initial uses devised for computers merely reproduce what was done before—the calculator replacing the slide rule, the geometry program replacing drawing tools such as protractors and compasses. Will computers and calculators become ubiquitous like the blackboard, or go the way of the slide rule? Clearly the ubiquity will come to pass, or so it seems right now. Perhaps it is time to stop arguing about whether to use such technology and to start thinking about how.
Perhaps the most interesting story here is the account of the model-making of Richard P. Baker. Well-trained in mathematics despite never finishing his doctorate, Baker was teaching high school mathematics when he read a research article titled "On the Quintic Scroll of Three Double Conics," which described, in entirely algebraic terms, an interesting mathematical surface. Baker made a physical model of the surface and eventually sold it to the author of the article. So began an amazing career; by the end of his life Baker had a catalog with hundreds of geometric models. But only a fraction were ever actually made and sold, and Baker's model-making business remained a one-man shop. His passion seems to have been working out how to make the models; the business was clearly a labor of love.
So is this book. The authors are fascinated by these objects. They have done well to call our attention to them. This book will be a crucial reference for anyone trying to understand the history of mathematics education in America.
Fernando Q. Gouvêa is Carter Professor of Mathematics at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. Among other things, he is the author, with William P. Berlinghoff, of Math through the Ages: A Gentle History for Teachers and Others, expanded edition (Mathematical Association of American, 2004).

Living in Golden Beach is a RIPP Off!
I have been for several years a resident of Golden Beach. It has been a pure nightmare from day 1 to last day!
Police claims to be good! Police is corrupted, opposite of efficient, misleading, abusive. Please do not trust them.
Mayor is, having a poor team of also corrupted lairs, interested in only making themselves richer, RACIST, XENOPHOBIC and discretely obeying to Rabbi Amar Chai.
This small town of North Miami Beach in South Florida, claiming to be a beautiful town where peace is welcoming you with famous and celebrities…in only the reality of Twin Pix miniseries, where everything weird is happening…and non-one knows! Police is blind.
If you are not Jewish, do not live in Golden Beach, since rabbi Chai cannot stand non-Jewish people and will make your life miserable like he did for me. His little kids do not even like to speak to non-Jewish people.
I moved there because I had truly respected for Jewish people, and I truly loved America. I got a pure hell. I never went through such a terror.
I am a very tolerant person, I am the opposite of racist, and I hate discrimination. They abuse me like it has never possible to imagine in such ways…
Please, consider this before purchasing a house in this town…I wish someone had warned me too.

I feel bad for you as it sounds like you had a terrible experience however my family and I have had an incredibly beautiful and peaceful life in Golden Beach. We have never had any issues with the police, the mayor, the Rabbi or the Jewish residents that you wrote about.
Golden Beach is a small, exclusive, family friendly ocean front town perfectly situated between Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Because the town has it's own police department we feel extremely safe. It's one of those few places left where kids can play outdoors and ride their bikes (and parents don't have to worry).
We love feeling part of a community, we love the private beach, tennis courts, playgrounds and parks. Golden Beach is culturally diverse, there are many Latin Americans, Europeans, and people of all religions and races living here. I highly recommend the Town of Golden Beach...

(CNSNews.com) – Food stamps and unemployment insurance will provide more economic stimulus than tax cuts, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Tuesday during a telephone press conference.
"(F)ood stamps and unemployment insurance, which affect the people in the states, are necessary at this time when funds are short and the economy is down, (and) actually have the most stimulative effect on the economy," Pelosi said. "Food stamps first, unemployment insurance next, infrastructure after that, and it goes on from there."
"Actually, those investments bring a bigger return than the tax cuts," she said, adding: "but tax cuts where we have them – to the middle class – we think will give us our biggest return."
During the press conference, Pelosi laid out the contents of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which is expected to be passed in the House Wednesday.The 20-minute news conference also included Govs. Edward Rendell (D-Pa.) and Jim Douglas (R-Vt.).
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will devote $20 billion to "provide nutrition assistance to modest-income families and to lift restrictions that limit the amount of time individuals can receive food stamps," according to a summary of the plan released last week by the House Appropriations Committee.
"It's about jobs, tax cuts and accountability," Pelosi said of the legislation.
Economists said Pelosi's remark regarding food stamps is accurate if it is assessed in the right context.
"I think the statement is correct, as far as it goes," said Alan Viard, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research.
"It's important to realize that it is a statement about how food stamps vary over the business cycle instead of what the overall level should be," Viard said. "It's also important to realize you are never going to get a large amount of stimulus from food stamps, just because it's not a very large program."
Traditionally, governments raise interest rates and cut spending to stop inflation -- cutting down on "demand" – but they cut interest rates and raise spending to reduce unemployment – or "boost demand."
"The only purpose to boosting demand is to stabilize the economy," he said. "When you boost demand, what you get is an upfront economic gain. But later you will have a payback once output goes down." Viard said this is why a stimulus needs to be timed as well as possible.
"You can't really boost food stamps all that much," he said. "There are only so many dollars you can put into that."
A vote in the House on the president's economic stimulus bill is expected Wednesday.

Looking for Ram & Discus Breeders
I am starting to breed German Blue Rams but would like to get some well bread ones to start my breeding fish.
Also looking for a Discus breeder, Sick of seeing sickly discus at the LFS that are disease infested, Stunted, and poorly colored. Looking for some that are 3 1/2-4inches or larger
Looking for them in Omaha
Petland gets decent looking GBRs in frequently (they look a lot better after you feed them well for a while). Unfortunately they don't get females in all that often, as it's taken me a couple months to get two pairs from them.
I have some to sell
I'm not sure on their stock since I haven't been in a while, but Fish Freaks has extremely clean tanks and they usually have a very nice selection of Cichlids. Possibly check them out if you get the time?
Fish Freaks has about 10 Discus in different colors available right now; I'm not sure if they're getting them from a local breeder or if they're surrenders. They vary in size.
I was just at Aquapets yesterday and they had a ton of gorgeous GBR, probably the best ones I've seen them have.
Check out simply discus forum for your discus.

Rihanna deserves a good guy and since she and Drake have been friends (with benefits) for some time now, they should totally settle down with each other and make it official!
After Drake sent a super heartfelt message to Rihanna and her mother on Valentine's Day, then called her on her 26th birthday, she really should notice that he cares — and would be a great guy as her boyfriend.
Rihanna & Drake Should Date
Nice guys don't always finish last! Drake has gone above and beyond to show Rihanna how much he cares about her — and she cares about him too, so why shouldn't they date?
Rihanna has been caught up on Chris Brown for some time now, but it's time for her to date someone who really treats her like a princess. On Valentine's Day, she was hanging with her mom but Drake still went out of his way to make sure she knew how special she was — he sent her flowers.
"She saw the flowers and was stunned and then fumbled though them to find the card," a source close to her told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "When she opened the envelope she was like 'oh this man is too good. Too fu-king good.'"
The card just said "thinking about you" which is so perfect for them — simple and to the point.
The Chemistry Is There
Drake and Rihanna definitely have the chemistry, too.
Have you seen the vide for "Take Care?" What about the video for "What's My Name?" It's no secret that the sexual bond between the two of them is palpable. Even in the song, he sings "dealing with a heart that I didn't break. I'll be there for you, I will care for you" to her.
I mean, if that's not love, I don't know what is. He knows that Chris hurt her — and has proven how upset he is about it by fighting him — but that doesn't push him away, it just brings them closer.
We know that he seriously cares and "treats her like a queen." Every girl deserves that — espeicially when it's Ri Ri!
HollywoodLifers, do you agree? Should they date? Let me know!

First year beekeeper here. I had my first experience with an aggressive hive last night. What I learned - there is no way that I am going to get honey out of there (or requeen) without a bee suit. I normally work in t-shirt and shorts, and I hadn't been stung until last night.
My question - can anyone recommend an affordable but decent bee suit? I'm hoping to keep the expense down to $100 or so, but I'm willing to go higher if that price range buys me junk.

text: quote:What a storybook season on the Plains. The Tigers, a year removed from going winless in the SEC, turned in one miraculous and/or thrilling finish after another to win the SEC championship and come within an eyelash of winning the national title. Malzahn did a masterful job in turning this program around, and his staff was equally superb. When you consider how far the Tigers came from where they were to end the 2012 season, this probably ought to be an A+. But we reserve those for national championship seasons. It wasn't quite a national championship season for Auburn. But, boy, was it a memorable one.

Warriors captain Simon Mannering accepted it was "soft" efforts which cost his side dearly in their NRL loss to Wests Tigers last night at Leichhardt Oval.
The Warriors were in control of the match at halftime, leading 10-0, but were sluggish out of the blocks to start the second half and conceded two easy tries inside the first ten minutes to find themselves down 12-10.
Stand-in Wests Tigers skipper Benji Marshall was the major architect of the turnaround, putting in a pinpoint kick for Lote Tuqiri to score in the corner before landing the sideline conversion for the lead.
But far from marvelling at the brilliance of his Test teammate, Mannering was simply fuming over the result, which leads into a bye for last year's grand finalists.
"This one was a big opportunity for us, going into the bye, to get a bit of momentum," Mannering said.
"We didn't play that well in the first half but we led at halftime and had every chance in the game to get the two points and just got soft at the start of the second half.
"You can't let the Tigers have that much ball. They just put a few on us. I'm just disappointed in all."
Warriors coach Brian McClennan was equally disappointed with the missed opportunity, and said his side needed to capitalise more in the first half when they were dominating the contest.
"This one hurts as Simon was saying because we've got the bye and we've got two weeks to stew over it," he said.
"... We got going along and we ended up with more points than them in the first half, but possibly in that stage of the game we needed to convert more."
McClennan felt there was a chance to snatch the game late, but said their lack of patience in attack ultimately led to their downfall.
"We actually started to get back in the game and we were probably a bit impetuous," he said.
"I think we might have bombed on (tackle) four and probably overplayed early in the tackle count.
"It looked like we were going to come back into it but we certainly didn't play anywhere near what we're capable of."

"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"I was pleasantly surprised with my new cards.The front is very eye catching, the paper quality/feel is professional...not cheap feeling, and I just love the fact that they're different! The only disappointment is that I would have liked the information on the back to be a little "brighter" (whiter, perhaps?) to make it easier to read due to the small text. I'm very happy that I went with this card!"
"I love the design. I would have used purple in the outer edge area, if I knew I could. The printed text & line would have been better darker, though I do love the card...very special feeling. Card weight feels very good."
"I'm getting lots of positive responses when I give my new business cards out to people. Card quality is really nice, I like the thickness. I highly recommend the white printing, it shows up nice and is easy to read. Make sure to do a bold thick font on the back! Tiny Prints says how it looks on the computer screen is how it will look printed and that's accurate. Their customer service is excellent. Delivery is very quick. Highly recommend these cards and this company!"
"This is the first time I have used Tiny Prints for business cards, and just like everything else they do, these turned out great! I didn't need them right away, so I picked the slower shipping, and to my surprise, they arrived a week earlier than expected! I love the square shape of this particular design. It adds a little something different that helps me stand out from the competition. Thank you TP!"

relocating spring perch
i have a rear end that is 1 1/2 over more on the driver side from the other. would it hurt having the pinion out of line with the transmission 3/4 of an inch to the passenger side? if i move them that much to line the wheels up? it is a rear with factory disc brake from a 2wd s10 blazer. the original rear is in perfect alignment where with the blazers is over 1 1/2. so it isn't the frame of the truck im using.
Won't hurt at all. Ford Motor Co. did it for many years..

With loads of excitement for the slowly emerging Dubstep sound it was no question to pick up the idea of promoting on a regular basis.A short while later Dj Maxximus joined forces with Mackjiggah, Orson and SomethingJ to organize 3 Partys @Raumklang booking Skream for his first Germany show aswell as Loefah and Kode9. Fortunatly, in summer 2006 it was possible to move back to ClubMaria (the 2nd room called Josef, that is) where the soundsystem was more appropriate and where there was a potential to grow. Since then, BassTheworld (promoted by DjMaxximus and Mackjiggah) invited artists from UK, France, Israel..Basstheworld's biography Basstheworld Musician

Ray Sarmiento Named Pac-10 Player of the Week
April 25, 2011
Freshman Ray Sarmiento helped the Trojans post a perfect Pac-10 season and end the regular season on a 14-match win streak with wins in doubles and singles last week, and has now earned himself his second selection of the season as the Pac-10 Player of the Week.
In a clean sweep of #49 UC Irvine in nonconference play, Sarmiento combined with Daniel Nguyen for a doubles win, then pinned up the first USC singles win of the day with an overpowering 6-1, 6-3 win over Anteater Ryan Cheung. Sarmiento and the Trojans then headed across town to pay a visit to rival UCLA, which had served up Pac-10 wins of the Trojans the past six seasons.
With big help from Sarmiento, USC secured its first undefeated Pac-10 finish since 1987 with a 4-3 win over No. 9 UCLA. Sarmiento first took a stand in doubles with the clinching win from the No. 3 spot, combining with Nguyen again for an 8-3 win that lifted USC ahead 1-0 in the match. With things hanging in the balance at 2-2 during singles play, Sarmiento fought back from losing the first set and trailing 2-4 in the second to pull out a comeback victory over Adrien Puget at the No. 4 position, winning 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 to get USC ahead 3-2 in the match and provide key momentum for the eventual 4-3 win.
The victory closed out an undefeated Pac-10 singles record for the #85 freshman, improving him to 28-7 overall while helping push the No. 3 Trojans to 21-2 overall.
One of five Trojans to be named Pac-10 Player of the Week this year, Sarmiento's second selection of the season is the ninth weekly honor picked up by the Trojans. Sarmiento and the Trojans now turn to take part in individual action at the Pac-10 Championships, held April 29-May 1 in Ojai, Calif.

Style It Gorgeous with Camille La Vie
Time is ticking! Still more days left to enter our Camille La Vie "Prom Look" Contest on Instagram. But you'll need to hurry soon as we'll be randomly drawing a winner on April 30th, 2013. And the best part….entry is fun, quick and simple! Create a collage on your mobile phone of a complete prom look with items from camillelavie.com (a dress with matching shoes, handbag and jewelry). Include our three required hashtags (#camillelavie #prom #camillepromcontest) and VOILA, you're gone! That is of course, if you want to gain extra entries to win. The more looks you post, the greater your chances of winning!
Good look to all! Can't wait to see what you pull together!
Make your prom night extra with the essential doses of PURE SPARKLE in golds and silvers. This may be the current trend of the season, but it's definitely worthy of being considered a true TIMELESS element of fashion. The key to executing the perfectly stylish look is keeping your accessories and makeup hues to a sweet and shimmering minimum, while letting your prom dress do all the sparkling for you! For instance, if you're opting for a gold dress with multi-faceted rhinestones, try a soft aquamarine eyeshadow for your eyes paired with light and glossy pink lip glaze. Another idea would be going completely gold metallic eyeshadow on the lids coupled with a sweeping black cat eyeliner to maximize high drama to a more angelic white prom dress embellished in soft bedazzled tints. Add must-have glitter into the mix by accessorizing with the right clutch bag and strappy Grecian inspired stiletto sandals. And with Spring making its way into full bloom, it's definitely time to ring in the new season with pops of pretty twinkle!

David Haye's Future Dance Card David Haye's resounding victory over Dereck Chisora has brought the potential for explosive, trash-talking Hayemaker excitement back to the heavyweight division. This prospect has left many fans -- both of Haye personally and heavyweight action in general -- asking what might be next for David Haye. This list represents wishful thinking tempered by a steely dose of reality. Just as a boxer's career is sometimes dictated by electrifying bouts that everyone wants to see, it is also sometimes formed by fights that no one wants, but politics dictate must happen.
