European Factors to Watch-Shares seen opening slightly higher
(Adds futures prices, live quote)
LONDON, June 24 (Reuters) - European equity futures edged higher on Tuesday, with the region's stock markets expected to steady after losing ground in the previous session and to return near multi-year highs.
The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 futures contract was up by 0.2 percent by 0645 GMT. Germany's DAX futures contract rose by 0.1 percent while France's CAC futures advanced by 0.3 percent.
In Asia, stock markets clinched slender gains on Tuesday as traders saw improved manufacturing data from China, Japan and the United States as auguring well for global growth.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index fell 0.5 percent to 1,388.34 points on Monday, but the index remains in touching distance of a 6-1/2 year high of 1,399.62 points reached last week.
"I think the sell-off yesterday was just profit-taking. I think that over the summer months, we'll hover around here and there'll be some profit-taking, but we'll have a strong end to the year," said Darren Courtney-Cook, head of trading at Central Markets Investment Management.

Martin Jol admitted his side were bullied at Stoke in November but Mark Schwarzer is confident Fulham are ready for the physical challenge awaiting them tomorrow.
Fulham struggled to deal with Stoke's robust approach during a 1-0 defeat at the Britannia despite Jol warning his players about their rugged tactics beforehand.
Jol described their style of defending as "almost like a rugby team" but did not suggest any foul play and was disappointed with the way his players coped.
But Schwarzer says Fulham will be equipped to deal with the direct nature of Tony Pulis's side when they visit Craven Cottage.
He said: "Stoke play a certain style of football that is always very physical and you have to be 100 per cent on your game to be able to compete against them.
"You always know what you're in for, we know that we are going to be bombarded from any set-plays."
Fulham were without suspended captain Brede Hangeland for the reverse fixture earlier this season and he will be key in combating those set-pieces tomorrow.
Schwarzer said: "We are going to have to be really switched on for their set-plays because that is one of their main strengths. It is going to be a very tough game."
Fulham have won only three of their last 18 Premier League games and are just six points above the relegation zone.
Schwarzer told fulhamfc.com: "It is a great opportunity for us to win another game and pull ourselves further away from the bottom of the table."

GIRLS BASKETBALL: Sunset's girls give their all, but No. 2 Oregon City is just too much Tuesday
OREGON CITY - The Sunset Apollos didn't have an answer for Oregon City's depth, as the Apollos fell to the second-ranked Pioneers 64-42 in Tuesday's first round of the Class 6A girls basketball playoffs.
'We could have played them a little better than that,' said Sunset coach Bill Priester, whose team, the fourth seed from the Metro League, finished at 12-14 overall. 'But we had a couple kids who were a little nervous and we just didn't shoot very well.'
The Pioneers went up 18-8 in the first quarter, with their first five baskets scored by five different players. Two Sunset players - Crissy Watts and Samantha Potter - scored all of Sunset's first-quarter points. Only six Sunset players found the basket the entire contest, while 10 Oregon City players put points on the scoreboard.
'They've got a lot of good shooters and some really good posts,' said Sunset senior wing Crissy Watts. 'They're a pretty good team.'
Oregon City used sharp shooting, defense and aggressive rebounding to take charge of the game from the outset.
Sunset controlled the opening tip, but moments later Oregon City point guard Paige Halberg stole the ball and scored a fast-break lay-up for a 2-0. Halberg blocked Katie Sneed's shot on the Apollos' next possession, and Oregon City post Lindsey Shearer scored on the fast-break to make it 4-0 with the game barely underway.
The Apollos committed five more turnovers before the first quarter was out, and the Pioneers took charge.
'I think we were a little scared,' said Watts. 'We were nervous and it took us awhile to get our game going.'
Oregon City went on a 12-2 run early in the second period to up the gap to 32-13, and the outcome was never in doubt after that.
The Apollos did a pretty good job of handling Oregon City's full-court defensive pressure after the first quarter, but they struggled to slow the Pioneers' multifaceted offense.
The Pioneers were a hot-handed 27-of-50 (.540) from the field; the Apollos found the mark on 18-of-42 (.428) attempted field goals.
Oregon City senior wing Kelly Marchant headed a balanced Pioneer attack, with 12 points.
Potter (14 points) and Watts (10 points) were the top point-getters for Sunset.
Despite the loss, Priester was upbeat about his team's future. Coming off back-to-back state playoff appearances and losing just three seniors, he said the Apollos' best may yet be ahead of them. He thanked his team's three seniors - Watts, Katie Sneed and Dana Lively - and mentioned the incoming talent the varsity would get next year from its strong JV and freshman teams.
It was the ninth win in a row for Oregon City (21-4, 11-1), whose only losses in Oregon have come at the hands of fourth-ranked Lake Oswego and fifth-ranked Southridge.
Co-champion with Lake Oswego in the Three Rivers League, Oregon City meets Central Valley League champion McKay (18-6) at McKay in Friday's second round, with the winner advancing to next week's state tournament.

Let me guess its all the Jews fault? May be that Pakistani they just arrested is a ninja who traveled back in time? No no I got it, the oil spill was a distraction so that the FBI could arrest Jesus and throw him in a secret military base in Idaho that is run by the Nepalese government. That and U Mass is being run by members of the Chinese MSS. To top it all of it is all being coordinated by a group of shadowy figures scheming in the tunnels under the airport in Denver.
On a serious note, I will say its that it sounds like a good fiction book. Also I hope you got a good price. Sorry to hear that you had to listen to all that stuff, its unfortunate but there seams to be a lot of conspiracy theory gun owners out there that give the rest of us a bad name.

ExxonMobil fined €3.3 million for failure to report emissions
Kim Lawton and Annie Pyke
In what is surely a strong reminder to companies around the globe to comply with green regulations, oil giant ExxonMobil has been fined €3.3 million (approximately $4.4 million CAD) for failure to correctly report its carbon dioxide emissions from a Scottish chemical plant. This is the largest fine for an environmental offence in British history.
The fine was imposed by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) under the European Union Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) that came into effect in 2005. Under the EU ETS, companies which fail to report their greenhouse gas emissions can be fined €100 per tonne for unreported emissions.
The fine was imposed in 2010-11, but was only just revealed by SEPA when it published its 2010-2011 enforcement report.

Black Light Dinner Party – "Your Drums, Your Love" (AlunaGeorge Cover)
whether i sink or swim, it's you i'm thinking of
Yes please! Any reason to listen to these two bands is a good one. Now lets get AlunaGeorge covering "Older Together"!
Yes please! Any reason to listen to these two bands is a good one. Now lets get AlunaGeorge covering "Older Together"!
If you missed the amazing video for this new BLDP track slipped into the last roundup then please don't do it again. This thing is magic. Literally. Watch the video. Play the video game. But most of all, turn the song up loud and feel it. Twinkle. Clap. Twinke. OOOOH OO OOOH! Yes!
I said I would and now I am! More music video madness for y'all to dive your eyes & ears into. As I think we all do, I watch a lot of boring, stale, and unimaginative music videos these days. Yet I am continually refreshed by the sheer number of quality videos that are also being produced. From simple low budget stomach turners like Humans' latest to years-in0the-making animated mind benders like Black Light Dinner Party's new one. Dems go rough with their special effects and Clubfeet go seamless and both kept me engaged for every second. And Local Natives went all beautifully oddball on us. The only unifying aspect of these videos is there are no performance shots. No band members playing any instruments. Who needs that!?

Lets not talk about the fact this year is already half over. Thats just insane. About as insane as the quality of jams that have been pumping through TBE HQ's speakers these past 6 months. Here is the best of the best. Did I miss any? Did you miss any?
(Thanks to Vladimir Bobritskiy for the album art.)

♫ Black Light Dinner Party – Leave It All
These mysterious NYC groove masters have a solid tradition of excellence despite only 4 tracks in the world. Their ID3 tage would have me believe there is a fifth but I haven't found it. No matter, even if it was a total dud, the jams coming out of BLDP are so catchy and beautiful that it is easily one of the years best EPs. "Leave It All" kicks a big disco bounce as it unfurls into an upbeat oil-pump of good sounds. Grab "Gold Chain" and "Small Boxes" at their Soundcloud. Then give your speakers a good work out.

Lens reviews: Some thoughts.
Depending on one's photographic interests, there's more to a lens than resolution and aperture.
Check this recent post (How To Stress A Camera Lens) on The Online Photographer:
And check the comments:
There's a lot on different aspects of lenses and the results one can get from them.
I learned plenty. And not only it allowed me to better understand some of the reviews I'd already read (here, on photozone, slrgear, etc.), but now I'm even more sure of the lenses I intend to buy next. That's why I'm sharing these links. I hope they're helpful.
And after reading that post I noticed that I haven't yet found a lens review thorough in the right way, with the information I need to make a lens choice.
For example, just today I stumbled on this tutorial on lens contrast (microcontrast):
And got curious to check the examples of photos made with lenses that have:
a.) poor contrast and poor resolution,
b.) good contrast but poor resolution,
c.) good resolution but poor contrast, and
d.) both good resolution and good contrast
By the there are some interesting camera and lens reviews both on The Online Photographer and Luminous Landscape.

Trace Adkins' New Album Breaks Down Genre Barriers
Trace Adkins' new album, Love Will…, is only a few weeks from its release date, and the country music hitmaker couldn't be more anxious to share it with fans. The Louisiana native reached out to several of his musical friends to join him on the upcoming CD, including pop singing sensation Colbie Cailat, who sings with him on the emotionally-charged "Watch the World End."
"It wasn't the genre thing that caused Colbie Cailat to be on this song," Trace explains to The Boot. "It was the sultry nature and that thing that she has in her voice. That's what I wanted on that song. I thought that her voice would blend well with mine, and I just loved that really sexy thing that she has in her vocal. That's what I wanted. I didn't care what genre of music she's in. I'm in love with her voice. I'm really happy that she agreed to do it. She's a lot of fun."
Love Will… also includes an appearance by Exile, who joins the 51-year-old on their own hit, "Kiss You All Over." "That was a surreal day in the studio," Trace reports. "Being in there with guys that most of my afternoons, my senior year of high school after football practice, were spent in the drive in, shooting pool and playing 'Kiss You All Over,' and listening to that song play at least half a dozen times in the afternoon at the drive-in. That was a surreal experience to go in the studio with those guys."
Love Will…, which also features a song by the Harlem Gospel Choir, will be released on May 14. The "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant will play several shows over the next few weeks, including stops in Texas, Missouri and New Hampshire.

While they were doing so, they passed a stampede of French lorry drivers heading in the opposite direction. I speak metaphorically, of course, because not many lorry drivers in that country have been stampeding anywhere. But, if clogging up the Continent earns them nothing else, the French strikers have already succeeded in forcing their government to lower their retirement age to a ridiculous 55. I am sure there are those who are spent by then but, on the other hand, there are heavyweight boxers close to that age who are busy eyeing up future opponents. While we might regret that development, it is no time for a man to volunteer to cease his career. That sad fact will be vouchsafed by any of the many forlorn souls who find themselves prematurely on the scrap-heap.
What has this to do with sport? Part of the justification for sport playing such a large part in our lives - and it does, whether you like it or not, if you own a television set - is that it can perform an important social service. Whether we are participating or watching, sport can channel aggression into relatively peaceful activity, it can fulfil many of our emotional needs and patriotic obsessions and, most importantly, set an example that can inspire.
Many mistakenly believe that this means sportsmen have a responsibility to provide us with moral guidance. This is nonsense. Sports people have no more responsibility to set a behavioural example than film stars, plumbers or even journalists. Politicians, clerics, officers of the law and their like have a duty to uphold the standards they preach but sports stars, provided they obey the laws by which they are governed, carry no such burden. Their efforts can teach us the value of dedication and application; how to stay calm and philosophical through the ups and downs; and how to refuse to let others draw our horizons from us.
Steve Redgrave imposed his own limits when, after winning his fourth Olympic gold medal in Atlanta, he declared that anyone who saw him reach for an oar should shoot him. Mercifully, the new hand-gun laws came just in time to stop a shot ringing out across the Thames when Redgrave clambered into a rowing boat on Thursday to confirm that he would challenge for a fifth gold in the 2000 Olympics. You can't measure the inspirational power that decision will create.
Redgrave's determination to carry on was entirely personal. In a team game, a player's survival depends not only on self-confidence but the faith of others. Jonathan Davies's presence in the Welsh team today at the age of 34 is down mostly to his own triumph in defeating the debilitating forces that dogged his comeback to union in the first half of the year. There were few who believed he could reclaim a shirt he last wore eight years ago and to do so he needed to convince the Welsh coach, Kevin Bowring.
It is a brave step for both but one that is appreciated by all who relish witnessing a genuine challenge. It may well have persuaded Australia to play David Campese, three days older than Davies, in the same match. Campese has announced that it will be his last international. What's the hurry? Rob Andrew, the former England outside-half, is also 34 and he gave notice last week that he, too, is emboldened to try to win his place back. The former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton has signed for Leyton Orient at the age of 47 and Clive Walker, seven months short of 40, scored Woking's FA Cup tie winner against Millwall on Tuesday. These are exceptions to the general rule but they needn't be exceptional if more refused to be bound by general rules.
In certain sports, like Herol Graham's boxing and Nigel Mansell's motor racing, there may be worries about personal safety to be considered. And if you are seeking an opposite trend look no further than tennis from which Stefan Edberg is retiring before his 31st birthday. Mind you, it is the sort of game in which boredom sets in long before the threat of arthritis.
Sport is never better than when it attacks the normal and contrives to revive our flagging spirits. Since all the mountains have been climbed and the oceans conquered where else are the true adventures?
Racing lost one of its most familiar voices last week with the death of the Irish commentator Michael O'Hehir who had been retired for some years but whose distinctive rapid-fire tones still echo around the tracks. Next year we shall lose the voice of all voices when Peter O'Sullevan retires after 50 years at the microphone. The great man was on duty yesterday at Newbury, reading the Hennessy Gold Cup and reminding us of what we'll be missing. Front- runner for the unenviable job of replacing him is the Australian Jim McGrath whose commentaries to date are a touch lacking in the mellifluence department and apt to be peppered with expressions like "he's got a good posie" or "he's in the cat-bird seat", to describe a horse well-placed, and "he's got a saloon passage up the rails".
The BBC have been very fortunate that they have been able to replace previous institutions without too much of a jolt to the eardrums. Indeed, John Barrett on tennis sounds more like Dan Maskell with each passing shot. I now find Peter Alliss's voice indistinguishable from that of Henry Longhurst and there's more than one Alliss voice taking shape in the pipeline.
Whether McGrath can shadow O'Sullevan as smoothly, we will have to see. There is no reason why he shouldn't develop his own style, as long as he pleases us and doesn't frighten the horses.
When he is not bullying helpless Football Association underlings on the radio, David Mellor is busy on the after-dinner speech circuit where I am told he can command a fee in excess of pounds 4,000 - thereby creating an opportunity for the next Chancellor to introduce a special windbag tax.
I'm not sure how much Mellor is in demand so soon after a meal but guests at a prestigious dinner to honour the 125th anniversary of Twickenham, organised by the Rugby Football Union on Thursday, were surprised to see his name on the menu as the final speaker. Since Mellor's knowledge of rugby union has yet to be revealed, they could scarcely contain their curiosity.
Following excellent speeches from such as Jeff Probyn and Ian Robertson, Mellor got to his feet, confessed ignorance about the game and launched into 25 minutes of jokes about Chelsea FC. It wasn't even a speech, I am told, just a stand-up comedy routine.
Rugby lovers everywhere will be aghast that such a proud milestone in the history of the game's headquarters should be thus celebrated. Thankfully, Twickenham was still standing yesterday so there's no real harm done.

Medical council asks India's Central Bureau of Investigation to investigate scam of bidding for postgraduate placesBMJ 2013; 346 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.f2834 (Published 02 May 2013) Cite this as: BMJ 2013;346:f2834

The Medical Council of India has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to look into allegations that private medical colleges are selling postgraduate places to the highest bidder, after a television news channel exposed the practice.
In February 2012 the council announced the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) for admission to …

Some water pressure issues. Pressure switch and/or sediment filter.
We bought our house three years ago, and since day one, we've fought pressure issues that are more prominent in certain areas of the home. We are on a well (unsure of the depth as I haven't taken the casing lid off to see if it's marked) with a sediment filter inline after the pressure tank. We currently have a 30/50 pressure switch that is working fine.
Our hallway bathroom shower, and our kitchen sink suffer the most pressure loss. I have to replace the sediment filters about once every 1.5-2 months, and you can really notice a difference in pressure as the filter gets more clogged. Even when the filter isn't scheduled for changing, the pressure is very odd. When we turn the water on in the shower or kitchen sink, it will be relatively slow for 30seconds-1.5 minutes, then build pressure, then kick down pretty harsh after a while, then repeat. I've watched the gauge when this is happening, and the switch is kicking on at 30, and off at 50. I don't know if it's dropping quicker than normal or if the problem is that at 30psi, the pressure isn't sufficient enough.
Could my problem be the inline filter? Would I be better off trying a 40/60 switch instead to account for the loss of pressure through the inline filter? I'm pretty sure the bladder in the pressure tank is alright, but then again, I've been surprised before. Any thoughts?
Also, as a side note, why am I bringing up so much sediment? I grew up in a home with well water, and we never even needed a filter. Is it possible the well pump is too low in the well and is pulling from the bottom?
Most pressure switches are adjustable, there is usually a diagram inside the housing. I suggest you kick it to 40-60, 30 is a little on the low side. As for the sediment, the aerators on faucets get clogged easily, which results in reduced flow. If sediment in the water is a continuing problem, you can get a whole house filter to remove the sediment.
Sometimes the gauges get partially blocked. Try a new gauge, and see if you get the same results. Same thing with the switch. If it's turning on and off, it's probably working, but if it's acting odd, it may have a blockage as well. Depending on how the switch is installed you may be able to clean the piping out.

Student Accommodation Investment Statistics
There is still room for further property investment in Nottingham's student accommodation sector, according to one expert. Matthew Robertson, associate director at the Nottingham offices of Jones Lang LaSalle, told the Nottingham Post that with 50,000 students, opportunities abound in the city.Over the last 12 months, proposed conversions of offices into student housing outstripped all other uses. During 2012, 275,000 square feet of legal exchanges/completions were submitted for this purpose, while offices acquired for business space added to 240,000 square feet. Jones Lang LaSalle claims this is because office rents and capital values in Nottingham are low against student rents, the newspaper reported. This means the commercial value of transforming office space into student housing is high.This is compounded by the strong performance of student accommodation nationwide, delivering total returns of between 11 to 15 per cent. It is widely regarded that unlike other markets, which can be unpredictable, student accommodation offers a relatively steady income, room for growth, and high occupancy rates. It's also less cyclical in nature, meaning there will be less fluctuation year-on-year.Mr Robertson explained to the Nottingham Post that the city has been targeted as one of the top UK locations for regional and national student developers and operators. This is thanks to to the presence of two pre-eminent universities in the city and Jones Lang LaSalle has been just one developer taking advantage of new opportunities. It has completed or put under offer buildings in the city that will deliver approximately 550 student beds."There are real opportunities in the city to stimulate growth through redevelopment of obsolete buildings, creating sustainable new environments which are more easily managed and policed," Mr Robertson told the newspaper. "There is evidence that students are more attracted to living in the city centre, which in turn brings further spending into the local businesses and nightlife."He added that converting obsolete buildings into student housing will also increase the availability of traditional homes. This will release property to be used as family homes, which are currently in shortage in the city.Sheffield is another city being targeted by developers for student accommodation and Knight Knox International has announced it will launch boutique housing in Kelham Island. The site will offer 18 townhouses, providing 80 students affordable, private accommodation, designed to a high standard.

Storybrooke came to Steveston once again as the hit ABC TV Show Once Upon a Time turned up to film scenes involving Josh Dallas, Ginnifer Goodwin, Meghan Ory, Beverley Elliott and the Dwarfs.
We've seen the crew make a mess of Storybrooke before, but never have we seen them dig an actual six foot deep hole for the cast to film in.
I turned up this morning (Tuesday, December 10, 2012) at around 9.30am and made my way to Bayview Street and was greeted by the sound of Josh Dallas shouting out his lines. I hadn't realised at the time that Lee Arenberg and Ginnifer Goodwin were also on set. I moved to the parking lot by the Sockeye City Grill so that I could get a better view of the action and that's when I saw them.
Josh Dallas seemed to be in high spirits as I could hear his thunderous laughter often as he was waiting to film the next scene. The scene involved the dwarfs, Ruby, Granny, Charming and Snow pulling someone out of the hole in the ground. They did this over and over with the camera moving to different locations. It seemed like a huge amount of work for a scene that will only be on our screens for a few minutes. It goes to show how much work goes in to filming an episode of Once Upon a Time.
It was David-Paul Grove's birthday today, and a fan turned up with a card for him. He was genuinely touched by the gesture and spent some time talking with her. Faustino Di Bauda also came over to talk and asked me about Cardiff, which is the capital of my Country, Wales. I always enjoy talking about Wales.
I left around 3pm when they moved to the back of the Gulf of Georgia Cannery where it was pretty much impossible to see any of the action that was going on. I know they were going to be filming a scene later on that involved Mr. Gold's store, but can't tell you who was involved in that scene. I can only report what I see.

Avatars must be honest with their players. No matter who they lie to over the course of the game, they're always honest with us. We know our avatar intimately but are also limited by what they know. If they don't know that they're a secret villain or hero, then we won't either until the big reveal. It's very difficult to have an unreliable avatar in games because he/she is our only connection to the game world. If they are not to be trusted, then what is? No matter what persona they put on for others, we know their true self. We play as their true self.
Consider John Marston from Red Dead Redemption. In the beginning, Marston is a mysterious cowboy, but over the course of the game, we learn about his wife, his son, and his desire to live a peaceful life. Marston says he wants to leave his violent past behind him, but during all the moments that we're in control, he's surrounded by and causes violence. This disconnect between his words and his actions reflects the core philosophical question that Red Dead Redemptions asks its players: Can we leave the past behind? The game clearly answers "no." Marston is not actually a family man—that's just a persona he puts on among family. The real John Marston is the man we control, the man of violence. The player sees the avatar for who he really is; there are no secrets between them.

text: I just got my WRX back from the dealer a little less than a month ago. It had a spun bearing so everything was replaced. They just told me to follow the break in procedure in the manual (under 4k rpms for 1000 miles with no boost) Typically how long should you wait to change your oil after work like this? I'm just really paranoid that something is going to happen to my car again. My car has about 600 miles on it since i got it back from the dealer.

By Mark Hodge (doddleNEWS)
The movie business is like any other, constantly evolving and innovating. However, this could still never prepare some in the industry for the biggest seismic shift ever, the death of film.
Now, in the real world, changing to a medium that is cheaper and more reliable would be universally embraced. But, the silver screen conjures such nostalgia that, for some, the fight for film will go on and on.
Joe Dunton is the head of the British Society of Cinematographers and is still very much in love with 35mm.
For the best part of two decades, he has been championing UK filmmakers in America at events such as Cine Gear.
In fact, with the help of the UK trade and industry, he managed to bring around 20 different British organisations; from societies to manufacturers, to this year's Cine Gear Expo.
Despite the changing nature of Hollywood, Dunton believes that one ever-present can save film. That savior, is the one thing that will never change: star power.
He said, "Kodak, Panavision and Deluxe should join together to become this special place that makes films, then try and get the actors to come onside and say it must be filmed. [We need to] use the power, use the power of the actors. We have got to use [their] power to keep it alive."
Indeed, Dunton believes that in a few years when the industry could potentially be fully digitized, there will be a shift back to film.
He commented, "It's like when you're on your second wife and it's going a bit funny, you realize that the first one wasn't so bad."

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – As a
redshirt freshman in 2008, goalkeeper Tori Rocke started all but
one game for Northern Arizona on the Lumberjacks memorable run to a
Big Sky championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. After
missing the first three games of 2009 recovering from off-season
shoulder surgery, Rocke has once again assumed the starting role in
the Lumberjack goal. She earned All-Big Sky Honorable Mention in
2008 and is already fourth in NAU soccer history in career saves
(169) and fifth in shutouts (8). The sophomore talked about her
recovery from surgery, last season's success, and the
Lumberjacks defense of the Big Sky title.
On recovering from off-season shoulder surgery:
"It was a lot of focus and hard work. I still have extra weight lifting each week to try to strengthen all of the muscles and get the shoulder back to where it was. I wasn't cleared by the doctor to play until the second week of the season."
On missing the first three games this season:
"It was tough not being able to be on the road with the team and supporting them. But, I knew it was for the best to stay home and get in some extra training. It was also good to learn how the team was going to be playing this year by watching them from the bench (in the Aug. 28 home game against Arizona) and getting a different vantage point."
On returning to goal in the fourth game of the season:
"I felt like I was ready but I just needed to fine-tune some things since it had been a while since I was diving and doing those kinds of activities. Coach made sure to get me some extra practice sessions in goal to help me get back into the swing of things."
On starting all but one game last season as a redshirt freshman:
"It was exciting to play after sitting my true freshman year. I got to understand how the college game was played and how fast it was as a redshirt, and that gave me a lot of confidence to start right away last season. It was a great learning experience and I knew what to expect."
On the experience of going to the NCAA Tournament last season:
"That was an exciting experience. I was so proud of everyone for working so hard and giving us the opportunity to play at that level. I think we have a pretty good chance of getting back there this year."
On pregame rituals:
"I don't really have anything special I do. I'm kind of quiet before games, which is surprising because normally I talk a lot. So, that kind of throws people for a loop. I just like to sit in a corner and be quiet. I put my stuff on the same way every time and just go out and play. I don't kiss the goalposts or anything too superstitious."
On getting ready for the Big Sky season:
"I feel like I'm back to 100% now and I'm really excited to start conference play. I think we're all ready to have a great run like last year. We have a similar record this season entering conference, so I think the team definitely is confident that we can win the Big Sky again."

Cupid's Conquests
High school sweethearts, Justin and Shelby, were destined to be together forever. But when Justin decided to give up a college scholarship to stay close to Shelby, his family stepped in, convincing Shelby she was holding him back from his life-long dream of playing Major League Baseball. She took her guilt and ran, and he never knew why.
Ten years later, they find themselves back in the small Texas town they grew up in. Shelby's come home to run the bar she inherited from her dad and Justin is looking for a safe haven after a career ending injury. With years of buried hurt and regrets, and the secret of his family's betrayal hanging between them, is Cupid's arrow enough to help them reignite the passion of first love?
Cupid may have missed in the first round, but he's willing to give this true love one last shot.
Shelby wiped her forehead and wove her way back to the bar. She'd imagined their first meeting a thousand times, but the strength of his presence still shocked her. When he'd wrapped his arm around her she'd all but come undone. The smell of his cologne lingered, clinging to her like his ghost. It must of have rubbed off on her t-shirt when they'd hugged and now she'd be smelling it all damn night. Of course, there were better ways to guarantee his scent would last all night. She told the voice in her head to shut the hell up and dove in to help the girls serve another round to the crowd. By the time they were done, she was spent. Thank God it was nearly closing time. She hadn't been this tired since her first night slinging drinks a little over a year ago. Glancing across the room at the already thinning crowd, she couldn't stop the dart of disappointment at not seeing Justin among them.
An hour later, with the bar cleaned and the registers balanced, Shelby hugged the girls good night and slid into the Mustang. Less than ten minutes and she was across town, pulling into her driveway. Spotlighted on the steps sat a familiar form. Her hand shook as she locked the Mustang and walked to the front door, keys fisted in her palm. Justin waited on the step, a six-pack of beer at his feet.
"I was hoping you'd let me buy you a drink," he said, raising a bottle toward her. The porch light shimmered off the golden streaks in his hair. It was longer than she'd last seen on T.V., but it made him look younger again, like when they were in school together.
She swallowed the memory and said, "One drink." She grabbed the bottle, twisted the cap off, and downed a third of it.
"You always did hold your liquor better than me."
"Well I am a bar owner. It kinda comes with the territory."
"I guess so. Look, I was real sorry to hear about your dad. I would have been here for the services, but we were playing a double-header in L.A. I wanted to do more, but…I didn't know if it would be welcome."
She didn't know what to say to that so she took another pull on her beer, swallowing her rising guilt. Walking away back then was the right thing to do, for both of them. That's what she kept telling herself anyway, even if her heart never did agree.
"Did I screw up? Did you realize you weren't in love?"
Suddenly the label on her beer bottle became intensely interesting.
"Where'd you run off to, Shel? I came back from the All-Star Tournament and you were gone."
He deserved the truth or some version of it, but the words got stuck in her throat. How do you tell someone you let their parents pay you to leave? He was going to give up a scholarship and a possible career because she was staying home for school. By walking away, he'd gotten his shot at the Majors and she'd gotten the education her dad couldn't afford.
"I asked around," he continued. "But even your dad wouldn't tell me. I thought it'd be impossible to keep a secret from this town, but somehow you did it."
"Bullshit." She may have walked away, but he damn sure could have tried harder to find her.
"If you'd really wanted to know, you could have found out. You just didn't ask the right people." Her guilt only went so far. She turned her back, but he sure as hell hadn't searched too far and that stung more than anything.
He looked like he wanted to argue, but his shoulders slumped and he said, "Maybe you're right," and took another swig from his bottle. "So what have you been doing all this time?"
She was glad for the change in topic; she didn't have the energy to hang onto her anger tonight anyway. "I went to school, got a business degree, and worked in a high rise making money for someone else. And when things got bad here, I came home."
"That's it?"
"Pretty much."
"No friends? No travels? No lovers?"
"You wanna tell me about your lovers over the last decade?"
He chuckled. "Hell no."
"Good, cause I don't want to hear it."
"Jealous?" That cocky grin of his twisted her insides and she was torn between climbing onto his lap or outright smacking him.
"You wish. An endless stream of plastic girls is not that exciting. I'd probably die of boredom right here on the steps." She winked, but the laughter had drained from his face.
"It wasn't like that, Shel. There were a lot of girls around, but you know me better than that."
"I'm glad to hear it." And she was. She'd always feared his memories of her had been washed away in a sea of peroxide and silicone.
"I guess I should go now."
"I haven't finished my drink yet." She'd been scared and pissed when he'd waltzed into the bar earlier, but an ache deep inside didn't want him to walk away just yet. Not now that they were alone.
"I don't want to wake your husband," he said, standing up. "I just wanted to see you without the audience."
He pointed at the ring on her finger.
"Oh." She smoothed her thumb across the gold band. "It's my mom's," she said softly.
"Oh. I'm sorry, Shel. I just thought—"
"It's okay."
He grabbed her left hand and ran the band between his finger and thumb. Her mind screamed at her to pull away, but her body wanted to pull him closer. His touch sent shock waves across her nerves and her lip tingled like she'd just had half of a bottle of tequila, not half of a bottle of beer. It was all she could do not to close the space between them, but she didn't have to. One small tug and she was in his arms, his hand clutching her belt as his lips crashed into hers.
"Get a room!" someone yelled from a truck that flew down the road. They both chuckled and Shelby dropped her forehead to his chest.

Sometimes, it just takes a little push from the Gods to point you in the right direction. With its great characters and fast paced plot with just the right amount of romance, this 60 page novella really hit the spot for me. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more.
Posted by LAS Reviewer on 13th Sep 2014
True love deserves a second chance. But sometimes former lovers, torn apart by destiny, need divine intervention in order to find their way back into each other arms. It was the mention of `divine intervention' that made me wary of this book, but fortunately I ended up being delighted from the very first chapter.
There are so many things that I loved about One Last Shot. It is a story that features a hero and heroine from different social backgrounds; he's a rich boy and she is definitely not a rich girl. Then this is a second chance love story, which I like. And last but not least, this tale is written so well that I read it in one sitting. The storyline follows the past of Shelby Stephens and Justin Tanner's relationship and incorporates it so well into the current story arc. I really liked the author's decision to focus more on the present storyline, conflict and plot, on resolving past deceptions and lies than on the hero's pursuit of the heroine.
The characters are also well developed and three dimensional. Shelby is one of the strongest heroines I have met lately. She is strong physically and she has a strong personality. Shelby is a woman who is forced to make really tough decisions and has had to sacrifice a lot in her life. I really felt for her towards the end. She lost almost everything, except her dignity and pride, and what was really important to her - her father's bar. I also liked that Ms. La Paglia really toned down the `divine intervention' and made it almost invisible, focusing mostly on humans and very little on gods.
I never knew that such a short story can be packed with so many things and not to have loose ends. All I can say is that One Last Shot is a masterfully crafted story that was a pure pleasure to read. Of course, the hot sex scenes also helped!

University of Cincinnati Fans Match $1 Million Sheakley Challenge for Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex
Oct. 6, 2009
Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex Website - Donate Here
CINCINNATI - Two weeks after Larry Sheakley, the CEO of the Sheakley Group and UC Patron, initiated a $1 million matching gift challenge to raise money for the Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex to the University of Cincinnati fan base, the UC Foundation, which oversees the school's current $1 billion Proudly Cincinnati campaign, and the UCATS Office, the fundraising wing of UC Athletics, announced today (Oct. 6) that they have received the donations needed to match the initial challenge.
The commitments, which came from a wide demographic of benefactors and community philanthropists, combined with the $7 million already raised, move the project closer to its overall goal of $13.5 million.
"First I want to thank everyone who took up my challenge over the last couple weeks and made this gift a reality," said Sheakley. "I am incredibly proud to be a part of this wonderful University, and the dedication and commitment of our community to join together for our student-athletes and the school. In response to your generosity and team spirit, I am personally extending the matching gift an additional $1.5 million. I am certain that the enthusiasm and pride we all feel for UC and the City of Cincinnati right now will continue, and I feel confident we will make our goal. Together, fans, business leaders, students, alumni, and the entire community, WE are creating UC Athletics history!"
Plans for the complex include two fields, one 100 yards in length and the other being 50 yards. The fields will serve all 18 of UC athletics programs with additional practice space, while the 100-yard field will be the competitive home for women's lacrosse. Long-range construction plans include seating areas, team meeting space, a press box, concessions, restrooms, and scoreboard.
The complex is also expected to play a vital role in UC recruiting the nation's finest prospective student-athletes. The 100-yard field will also become an indoor practice facility during winter months via an air-supported "bubble" that will be inflated over the field.
"The University and the City of Cincinnati are blessed to have such selfless benefactors like Larry Sheakley and the numerous others that stepped up the last two weeks," said UC Director of Athletics Mike Thomas. "It is the efforts of those people who will help us reach our goal and realize our CATAPULT ideals of Championships, Academics, and Together."
"I'm grateful for the confidence and support we've received over the past three years from the University and our fans," head coach Brian Kelly said. "The passion of the Bearcats Community, fans, and all those associated with our program are truly what makes UC football special. Every time we are issued a challenge, be it on or off the field, our supporters seem to find a way to get it done. That never give up attitude is what it takes to be a championship program, and by doing so, they demonstrate they are Proudly Cincinnati."
To contribute to the Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex, UC supporters are encouraged to log on to www.UCATS.net and click on the main page icon that features a comprehensive presentation of information regarding the Jefferson Avenue Sports Complex.
If you would like to speak to a member of the UCATS staff directly, please call 513-556-4884.

Just wondering, are you overlaying your right thumb with your left in a two handed grip....pressing your right thumb onto the release?
