Dash slug their way past Pelicans
Bolinger doubles in two in loss
By Nathan Barnett / Myrtle Beach Pelicans | July 7, 2014 10:42 PM ET
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (JULY 7, 2014) - The Myrtle Beach Pelicans, Class A-Advanced affiliate of the Texas Rangers, took a game one loss to the Winston-Salem Dash at BB&T Ballpark on Monday evening. Winston-Salem right-hander Tyler Danish posted six scoreless frames on the way to the win before Myrtle Beach scored a run in the seventh and ninth on RBI doubles from outfielder Royce Bolinger. The Winston-Salem collected nine hits in the game, eight of which went for extra bases, including three triples and a home run.
The best chance to score off of Danish came in the first inning for the Pelicans (11-8, 55-32). Christopher Bostick tripled to right-center field with one out. Danish then struck out Nick Williams and Jorge Alfaro to get out of the jam.
Myrtle Beach managed just two more baserunners off of him. Luis Mendez singled with one out in the third and Williams led off the fourth with a single. Danish struck out seven and did walk a single Pelican.
Pelicans starter Victor Payano allowed three baserunners in the first but kept the Dash off the scoreboard. In the second, the bottom of the lineup began their outstanding day. Michael Marjama singled in front of back-to-back triples from Zach Voight and Cleuluis Rondon to score a pair. Jacob May brought another run across with a sacrifice fly to put Winston-Salem (10-9, 40-48) ahead 3-0.
The Dash added two more runs in the fourth. Marjama doubled to set the table for Rondon, who blasted his first home run of 2014 to extend the lead to 5-0.
The bottom four hitters in the Dash lineup with 8-for-16 with seven extra base hits and five RBI.
Danish was lifted after six innings, and the Pelicans scored off of the bullpen in the seventh. Alfaro knocked a one-out single off of Dave Putnam. Bolinger then clubbed his first of two RBI doubles, bringing Alfaro around from first to cut the lead to 5-1.
In his return to the Pelicans, knuckleballer Kevin Pucetas tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings in relief of Payano. He walked two but did not allow a hit and struck out two.
Abel De Los Santos surrendered a run in the bottom of the eighth, as Winston-Salem pulled ahead 6-1.
The Pelicans rallied in the ninth, but it fell short. Williams opened the frame with a single off of Jose Bautista, the third Dash pitcher of the night. With one out, Bolinger doubled in Williams to trim the lead to 6-2. Then David Lyon walked to put the tying run on deck, but Edwin Garcia flied out to right field and Kevin Torres struck out looking to end the ballgame.
Danish (2-1) picked up the win, his second, while Payano (3-6) suffered his second straight defeat.
The Birds continue the series on Tuesday at BB&T Ballpark against the Dash; first pitch is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Luis Parra (7-4, 4.13 ERA) toes the rubber for Myrtle Beach against J.B. Wendelken (5-7, 4.44 ERA) in a rematch of a 4-1 Pelicans win last Thursday in Myrtle Beach. Both games can be heard live on WRNN AM 1450 ESPN Myrtle Beach, on the TuneIn Radio App, and via the MiLB First Pitch App, beginning with the Hampton Inn Pregame Show at 6:40 p.m.
The Pelicans return home July 11 to open a four-game series with the Lynchburg Hillcats.
Season Seats, Mini Plans, Flex Books, and single game tickets are available to see the Pelicans in 2014.

Often, the start of any new analytics practice is centered around technology, I blame the vendors for this. It's in your vendors best interest that you get up and running as quickly as possible, the faster you deploy their solution, the faster they get paid.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing, implementation has to be completed for your organization to have access to all the rich data you need to start building a data driven culture. However, what many companies fail to realize is that implementation is not limited to a technology task. Implementation also involves integrating your analytics practice into the fabric of your organization.
How many times have you heard something like this, "I'm so frustrated, our product team launched a new feature this morning and the CEO is demanding an analysis. We don't even have the correct tracking on the new feature, I just found out about it this morning!!!"?
In our excitement to deploy our shiny new analytics solution, we rushed into the build without reading the instructions first. Had we slowed down at bit, we would have realized that one of the critical steps in the process was to ensure that the solution was integrated into our existing processes.
When I was running the analytics practice for 28 corporate brands at Spark Networks, one of the first things I did was to identify the process we followed for managing product enhancements. Internally, we used a solutions called JIRA to manage our software development lifecycle. It was critical that I fully understood the process for how new features were rolled out to our sites, from ideation to launch, and how our systems supported that process.
It became clear to me that I needed to integrate my analytics practice into the product request process that we managed within JIRA. The simple task of adding a few required fields to a JIRA request, made my life so much simpler and I never again had to tell the CEO, "we aren't tracking that new feature yet."
When a product manager submitted a feature request, they were now required to complete two additional fields in their request:
1) Is analytics required for this feature?
2) If yes, what are the requirements, if no, why not?
This simple update to the process forced product managers to stop and think about analytics as part of their process for rolling out enhancements to the site.
This example is only one place that I integrated analytics into the process and there are many, many more that I won't go into detail on but to get you thinking, I also integrated my practice into:
- →Bi-Monthly Executive Staff Meeting
- →Creative Request Process
- →Email Marketing Process
- →Engineering Bug Tracking
- →Quarterly Earnings Calls
- →Product Launch Post-Mortem Reviews
- →And Many, Many More
Take the time to look around your organization and identify the areas that are critical to running the business, find ways for integrating your analtyics practice into these areas and you will take a huge step forward in building a data driven culture.
Of course, to accomplish this, it takes adoption and buy-in from across the organization, so I will address the importance of user adoption in the next part of this series.

The A/C in my 2.0 2000 jetta was the coldest car I ever owned I used to get 37 to 38 degree vent temps but My A/C went warm on me about a month ago one day. I took it to one place and they replaced the Expansion Valve which did not fix the problem, I was upset that they misdiagnosed it so I went to another place, they said the compressor was bad and replaced the Compressor with a aftermarket Sigma JP Compressor and replaced the Accumulator checked for leaks, flushed and re-charged the system. It is blowing cold but the coldest temps I get now is about 45 or 46 range on recirculate.
My question is can one compressor be colder than another and could it be that the amount of freon is off a little. I would love to get it back to as cold as it used to be. I took it back to the place that replaced the compressor and they said it is all working to specs. Any opinion would be great

Repot your mint
Unless you have been living it up on supermarket basil all winter, the poor old taste buds will be desperate for some fresh herbs by now. Cast aside that old jar of dusty mixed herbs and go out and dig up a few sections of mint: there is always plenty to spare. Pop the roots into pots of compost and stand them on a sunny windowsill indoors. The warmth of the house will bring the mint into growth long before it gets going outdoors.
Feed the birds
February to April is a critical period for feeding birds, as berries are running low and insects are not yet out in force. Fat means survival, so think chopped bacon rinds, mild grated cheese and fat cakes made from seeds mixed into melted lard or suet. Mix things up with a bit of chopped apple and some raisins and, ideally, provide quality wild birdseed. Bird baths need unfrozen water - for bathing as well as drinking. All of this will see your local birds fighting fit for the frenzy of breeding just around the corner.
Plant of the week
Foxgloves are one of the most spectacular flowers for shady spots. The white spires of Digitalis 'Alba' glow in the gloom. Once established these biennial beauties will seed themselves around freely. Order one well-grown, established plant, supplied in a 9cm pot, for £8.95, including UK mainland p&p, or buy three plants for £19.85. Call 0870 836 0908, quoting ref GUPW122.

"Nádasi'né' nde' isdzáné begoz'aahi' shimaa shini' gokal gową goshjaa ha''áná'idiłí texas-nakaiyé godesdzog," [Translation: Returning Lipan Apache Women's Laws, Lands, & Power in El Calaboz Ranchería, Texas-Mexico Border], documents nineteen generations (1546-2009) of Ndé (Lipan Apache), Tlaxcalteca, Nahuatl Noble, and Basque colonials in the Indigenous-Texas-Mexico borderlands. Indigenous women's genealogies are traced, exposing the intersections of colonization, governmentality, legal challenges, slavery, exploitative labor, militarization and resistances. This dissertation re-imagines a critical interdisciplinary dialogue between Native American Studies, Indigenous Studies, American Studies, History, Critical Legal Studies, Gender Studies, and Border Studies.
In 2007, Indigenous peoples in El Calaboz Ranchería challenged the U.S. border wall along the Texas-Mexico border as a violation of human rights and constitutional law. The community's resistance to the state's will to dispossess them of ancestral lands, owned communally through aboriginal and Crown Land Grant title, inspired the investigations by Indigenous women to untangle their community's legal, social, economic and political histories in land-tenure along the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Their challenges to the state's use of sovereignty and militarization exposed how the government naturalized the border wall within the discourse of development. However, their legal investigation unburied centuries of legal disputations between Indigenous peoples and more than one sovereign. Indigenous women's analysis of the border wall excavated a longer history of sovereignty and state violence as interlocking tools to normalize dispossession. Drawing from colonial archives, genealogical records, community documents, photographs, government documents, and interviews of El Calaboz Ranchería, from the clans of Lipan Apaches and their kinship relationships, this dissertation recovers Indigenous perspectives and principles related to dispossession and genocide resistance against four governments, across five centuries: Spain, Mexico, Texas and the U.S. This project is both historical and critical memory recovery which challenge normative conceptions of Native American and Indigenous genocide history.

Microsoft staff were readying themselves today for what could be the biggest job cuts in the company's 39-year history as it was reported new chief executive Satya Nadella could slash up to 6000 posts within days.
The newly acquired Nokia handsets division and parts of Microsoft that overlap with that business, as well as marketing and engineering, are likely to bear the brunt of the cuts, according to news agency Bloomberg.
Microsoft has about 127,000 staff worldwide and has seen its headcount soar by nearly a third since adding 30,000 with its Nokia acquisition.
The UK could be badly hit by the layoffs amid reports that the marketing team behind the Xbox games device, which has its European base in Reading, is under scrutiny. The company is also thought to employ close to 1,000 in its London headquarters in Victoria.
When Microsoft agreed to buy Nokia's phone arm, the computing giant promised $600 million (£380 million) of cost savings in the 18 months after the deal closed.
Last week, Nadella told staff in a long memo that he planned to "flatten the organisation and develop leaner business processes".
Nadella, who rose internally to succeed Steve Ballmer earlier this year, added: "Tired traditions will be questioned. Our priorities will be adjusted. New skills will be built. New ideas will be heard. New hires will be made."
He also warned: "And if you want to thrive at Microsoft and make a world impact, you and your team must add numerous more changes to this list that you will be enthusiastic about driving."
Some industry insiders criticised Nadella for failing to explain more clearly in the memo how he planned to revive Microsoft, which has been lagging behind more agile rivals Apple, Google and Amazon in the era of mobile computing.
Jean-Louis Gassée, a venture partner with Silicon Valley firm Allegis Capital, wrote on technology news website Quartz that Nadella had written "3,100 plodding words" and that he "needs an editor".
Microsoft's biggest previous jobs cull came in 2009 when 5800 were axed. The company, which reports its annual results next Tuesday, began its new financial year at the start of July.Reuse content

No. 7 USC Looks To Continue Hot Streak In Vegas
March 7, 2013
The No. 7 USC men's golf team, coming off back-to-back first-place finishes, will face possibly its stiffest challenge of the regular season at the packed Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters, Friday through Sunday (March 8-10), at the Southern Highlands G.C. in Las Vegas.
In addition to USC and host UNLV, the 15-team field includes 2012 NCAA runner up Alabama, California, Duke, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Stanford, 2012 NCAA champion Texas, Texas A&M and UCLA.
Play will begin at 8 a.m. PST each day with tee times off the No. 1 and No. 10 holes.
Live results for this year's event can be found here.
USC returns five players from last year's squad and has welcomed three newcomers. The squad is led by junior Jeffrey Kang, a 2012 All-American honorable mention selection, and by senior Sam Smith, a two-time All-Pac-12 honorable mention pick. Sophomore Anthony Paolucci also earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention honors last year and the nation's top recruit in 2011 has taken a big step in the 2012-13 season. Also back are junior Ramsey Sahyoun, a 2012 Pac-12 All-Academic honoree and senior Stewart Hagestad. Joining the squad are highly touted freshmen Yi Keun "Jay" Chang, Michael Moorhead and Andrew Levitt.
Troy opened spring play with a tie for fourth at the Amer Ari Invitational before tying for first at The Prestige at PGA West, coming from behind to earn a share of the title. USC continued the hot streak with a nine-stroke win at the North Ranch Intercollegiate in its most recent action.
USC posted a trio of third-place finishes in fall play at the Pac-12 Preview, the U.S. Collegiate Championship and the Gifford Collegiate-CordeValle. The Trojans also claimed the consolation final of the Stanford Classic Match Play while Kang tied for 12th in the individual-only Western Refining Collegiate.
Chang led all Trojan finishers at the Pac-12 Preview with a fifth-place finish at 7-under 209 (69-67-73). Kang tied for eighth at 5-under 211 (70-71-70). Chang paced USC again at the U.S. Collegiate Championship with a tie for ninth at 2-over 218 (71-75-72). He opened his final round with a 1-over front 9 but completed the day with a 1-under back 9, including birdies on 15 and 18. Paolucci (74-72-74) and Smith (71-76-73) tied for 20th at 4-over 220. At the Gifford Collegiate, Paolucci led the Trojans with a tie for fifth at 2-under 211 (71-71-69) while Smith tied for 13th at 3-over 216 (76-67-73). Paolucci's tie for 10th at 5-under 211 again led USC's efforts at the Amer Ari Invitational and the sophomore did it again at The Prestige at PGA West, tying for second as USC claimed a share of the event title. Kang and Chang tied for seventh. Chang topped USC's finishers with his win at the North Ranch Intercollegiate, finishing at 2-under 211 (70-68-73) while Smith took fourth at 3-over 216 (65-71-80).

have a charging problem.
Have replaced battery and alternator but check charging system light still comes on. Is it possible the starter could be the problem
7 Answers
Is Your battery being charged at idle at around 14 volts? If not You might wanna check Your wiring between the battery and the alternator and also Your dashboard light. The battery positive and the power from the alternator will form two positives and only this will make the light go off. It seems to me You might have a broken wire between the alternator and the light,or perhaps a poor connection in the wiring circuit.
One crazy solution for charging problem has been to disconnect the radio of all things but it worked! Simple enough to try. Good luck
Here are a few things to check for: check the electrical connector on the alternator (the pig tail) to make sure the leads are not shorting together. Check the # 26 fuse in the fuse box in the engine compartment, making sure there is one there and that it is not blown. I had the same issue. I replace the voltage regulator in the alternator and that didn't fix it, I then replaced the alternator and that still didn't resolve the issue, I checked the pigtail and found no short. I then starting examining the fuses and noticed that the # 26 fuse was missing, I installed the fuse and that resolved my check charging system light issue.
alternator good battery not charging all they have views that will stop it and if so where is it located in the control panel box
yes it was fuse #26
There is no #26 fuse. Where is it located? I just found 20, 30, 40, 50, even 15, 10 and 5 but no 26.
Fuse #26 is in the main power box under the hood near the front of the engine compartment. The numbers you mention are the FUSE RATINGS, i.e. 10amp, 20amp, etc. Remove the cover to the power box and look on the underneath side for fuse # locations.

Chrome will open recently used and frequently used tabs for you automatically. Here's how to take care of that issue. With your bank page open, click the star to the right of browser and add it as a bookmark.
Now right-click on the tab for the bank page and choose "Close Tab."
Now you can access your banking page by opening your bookmarks. For even easier access, choose the Menu icon, then bookmarks and select Show bookmarks bar.

Or something like that! We've had some super cold weather the past week and I love it! It's my favorite thing in the world to go outside and see a fresh blanket of snow covering the ground. It doesn't stay untouched for long, though! I like to make snow-dog angels and have snowball fights with mom and dad.
Life has been a little stressful lately for me. That little human that mom and dad call "Ethan" sure does make a lot of noise now that he's almost 9 months old. He's always dropping his toys on the ground and making a racket. I don't like noise very much. In fact, I've taken to just hanging out upstairs during the day while mom and Ethan play downstairs. It's much more quiet and I don't get so nervous. Mom makes sure that Ethan doesn't come into my space in their bedroom. That's my special place and I'm happy that she does that for me. They make sure to give me lots of extra attention, but it just isn't the same as before. One good thing about Ethan is that he does make quite a mess when he eats, and I am on cleanup duty after he's out of his highchair. Who knew that cheerios tasted so good?
I'm going to stay at Grandpa and Grandma's house this next weekend while Mom, Dad and Ethan go to Seatttle. I wish I could go with them, but I'm pretty sure that I would freak out in the cargo hold of an airplane! Better to just hang out in Grandpa and Grandma's big backyard with Daisy, that little thing they like to call a "Shih Tzu". I'm not too fond of her, either. In fact, little things like babies and small dogs just get on my nerves. I'm an old guy who has had a rough life before mom and dad adopted me. All I need is some peace and quiet! :o)
I can't believe how fast this year with my family has flown by! My one-year anniversary with my mom and dad was at the beginning of August. Can you believe that it has already been a year since I was rescued. Life is pretty busy over here... it makes the time go by so fast. Ethan is already almost 4 months old!
Mom is home full-time with me and Ethan now, so we do a lot of fun things everyday. The best is that we go for at least a 45 minute walk everyday, but sometimes we go for almost and hour and a half. It's so good to have my mom back to walking after all of her bedrest and the other stuff with Ethan. I admit, I put on some sympathy weight during her pregnancy... almost 20 pounds! Mom and dad have whipped me into shape, though, and I'm losing the weight! I think I was also a little depressed during mom's bedrest and right after she had the baby. Let's face it, I'm a momma's dog and my world was turned upside down when she couldn't take me for a walk or was too tired to pay a ton of attention to me. But we have adjusted and I think we are all feeling pretty good about life right now!
The weather has gotten cooler here in Denver, though it hasn't snowed yet, darnit. I really, really love the snow and can't wait to dip my nose in the cold frosty stuff! Mom hates being cold, so she really isn't too keen on winter, but dad and I can't wait!
I haven't decided what I will be for Halloween... any suggestions?
I didn't know what to expect when mom and dad said that they were bringing "Ethan" home two weeks ago. Is an "Ethan" a new chew toy? Maybe a trip to the dog park? Some fancy new doggy daycare? Imagine my surprise when mom and dad walked in the door with another tiny little human! But it didn't seem much like mom and dad, with all the noises that it was making. So this is the baby they keep talking about!
I don't really give much thought to this Ethan character. I'm curious, but I tend to keep my distance. He also wakes me up in the middle of the night, and everyone knows that a dog as handsome as myself needs a full 8 hours of beauty sleep.
The best part about this baby being home? Mommy is back to her old self (pretty much) and takes me on walks again!
On a non baby-related note, it has been really, REALLY hot here in Denver. Boy, was I miserable in our hot house! I didn't want to eat, I didn't want to go on walks and I certainly wasn't in the mood for playing with my toys. Thankfully, two guys came over yesterday and now there is cold air coming through the holes in wall... Mom and Dad call it "A/C" All that I know is that I am a much happier dog today!!!
Stay cool!! :o)

Tyler Gaffney Returning to Football
Tyler Gaffney is returning to Stanford to play football.
According to the official Stanford football website, Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Tyler Gaffney will be returning to Stanford to play football during his senior year and to complete his degree. Gaffney was drafted as a junior in the 24th round of the 2012 draft by the Pirates, and spent the 2012 season in State College. The outfielder hit for a .297/.483/.441 line in 111 at-bats, while drawing praise from his coaches for his all-out play on the field.
In the 2013 Prospect Guide, we had Gaffney as the number 43 prospect in the system. His upside looked to be a strong fourth outfielder, with the chance to be an unconventional starter if he could maintain strong on-base skills and gap power in the upper levels. He looked l...

Wild Road Tour Comes Through St. Cloud
The Minnesota Wild road tour came through St. Cloud Wednesday. Current players Nate Prosser and Jason Zucker and radio announcers Bob Kurtz and Tom Reid stopped at MAC to sign autographs and meet the public. Fans had a chance to play chuck-a-puck as well. Approximately 100 fans showed up to see the players. The crowd was less this year in part because of the lack of success the Wild have had lately and the still emerging names of Prosser and Zucker.

Shape-Shifting Phone Rearranges Like A Rubik's Cube [Pics]
Flexible form technology lets users shape their devices to fit momentary needs.
A traditional Rubik's Cube might drive you into a fits of frustration, but if that design principle was applied to cell phones in order to make them multi-functional, it might be more appealing. Created by researchers at Hasselt University iMinds in Belgium, a device called "Paddle" consists of eight square tiles that can be manipulated into a variety of shapes and sizes depending on what you need to use it for.
"At the moment our Paddle prototype supports around 15 different shapes but this number increases every day as we are including more and more shapes of the original Rubik's Magic puzzle," says Raf Ramakers, a PhD Student in Human Computer Interaction at the University, in an interview with FastCoDesign.
You can fold the phone into various forms such as a tablet, cell phone, arm band, bracelet, game controller, and any other shape that feels intuitive. That's a big part of the device's appeal, to be able to use it without learning specific gestures, and instead just leaf through an article like a book, or roll a bracelet to change frames.
The current prototype uses an optical tracking system with a projector for visual output, which means it isn't very portable. The team hopes that advances in technology over the next 5-10 years will allow all of the current features to be fully-integrated into future models.
As pointed out by EP, people using the device in "book" form were much better at recalling the structure as well as content of the piece they read after they leafed through the Paddle, especially when compared to articles read on a more traditional touch device. This could make it easier to learn through a fusion of tactile and digital experiences, all available within one extremely compact interface.

Kim Kardashian: Furry London Lady
Posted Friday November 9, 2012 11:00 AM GMT
Kicking off another day of promotional duties, Kim Kardashian left the Dorchester Hotel in London, England this morning (November 9).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star stayed warm in a black fur/leather jacket, much to the dismay of the PETA peeps.
During her interview on ITV earlier this week, Kim talked about blurring the line between her personal and public persona.
"We don't have the cameras all the time we take holidays and you want that to be private so we do struggle with the boundaries of whether to have the cameras around."
Enjoy the pictures of Kim Kardashian out in London (November 8).

US Drought Grows to Cover Widest Area Since 1956
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The drought gripping the United States is the widest since 1956, according to new data released Monday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Fifty-five percent of the continental U.S. was in a moderate to extreme drought by the end of June, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., said in its monthly State of the Climate drought report. That's the largest percentage since December 1956, when 58 percent of the country was covered by drought.
This summer, 80 percent of the U.S. is abnormally dry, and the report said the drought expanded in the West, Great Plains and Midwest last month with the 14th warmest and 10th driest June on record.
The nation's corn and soybean belt has been especially hard hit over the past three months, the report said. That region has experienced its seventh warmest and 10th driest April-to-June period.
"Topsoil has dried out and crops, pastures and rangeland have deteriorated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years," the report said.
The report is based on a data set going back to 1895 called the Palmer Drought Index, which feeds into the widely watched and more detailed U.S. Drought Monitor. It reported last week that 61 percent of the continental U.S. was in a moderate to exceptional drought. However, the weekly Drought Monitor goes back only 12 years, so climatologists use the Palmer Drought Index for comparing droughts before 2000.
In southern Illinois' Effingham County, Kenny Brummer is facing a double whammy - the drought has savaged the 800 acres of corn he grows for his 400 head of cattle and some 30,000 hogs, leaving him scrambling to find the couple of hundred thousand bushels of feed he'll need.
"Where am I going to get that from? You have concerns about it every morning when you wake up," Brummer, 59, said Monday. "The drought is bad, but that's just half of the problem on this farm."

text: We have a 9 month old Great Dane, and he is absolutely out of control! He doesn't mind. He likes to jump. He runs wildly through the house. He won't get in his crate at night without a struggle. Is this all because he's still a puppy??? I've worked with him and taught him to sit which he will do sometimes. I also taught him to shake which was a mistake, since he does it when I don't command him to and ends up giving me a punch in the face :-/ (if I'm sitting down). Should I buy a shock collar or something?? I'm desperate!

Kate Bosworth: Prabal Gurung Fashion Show Stunner
Stepping out to enjoy yet another fashion show, Kate Bosworth arrived at the Prabal Gurung presentation at Pier 59 in New York City on Saturday (September 8).
Taking in all the excitement of New York Fashion Week, the "Blue Crush" actress rocked a black pencil skirt, a pattern navy top, which she accessorized with sexy black heels.
While inside the show, the blonde beauty tweeted a photo of the catwalk with the caption, "where the sidewalk ends @prabalgurung #NYFW"
In a recent interview, the 29-year-old explained that the Prabal Gurung show is just one of five that she will be attending during the infamous week. Others include Joseph Altuzarra, Olivier [Theyskens, for Theory], the Proenza boys and Cushnie et Ochs.
Miss Bosworth also added, "We're talking about doing something. It's just you know for me, obviously I understand how much work goes into [designing a line] and the kind of team that needs to come together to make something really great. So that's really where my focus is right now, kind of looking into that."

We have several styles of rope halters available. From yacht braid rope, halter cord and accessory cord to different diameters of diamond braid rope. We're sure to have the right halter for all your needs.
Rope halters are great for training as they work off pressure points on the nose and poll. The smaller and stiffer the diameter of rope, the more uncomfortable it is for the horse to lean on. You'll be surprised at the quick response your horse will have.
The Fiador knot at the chin offers added strength to the halter and makes it easier to adjust. The lovers knots are rounder, making it more uncomfortable for a horse to lean on. These halters are virtually indestructible, so we don't recommend leaving these halters on in the field, as these halters won't break if your horse gets caught up in something.
Halter cord, yacht braid, and accessory cord are the best ropes we have available. Many of today's top natural trainers use these ropes. These are made from polyester, not cheap nylon that can burn and fray. You won't find a better product.
Halter cord, because of it's stiffness has more 'bite', and is great for average to stubborn horses. The accessory cord, because of it's small diameter also has more 'bite', and is again great for average to stubborn horses. The yacht braid is softer and has a slicker outer sleave, making it great for sensitive, thin skinned horses, while still being very effective.
Our 5/16" & 1/4" diamond braids are probably the nicest diamond braids I've seen. Very strong, stiffer and in beautiful patterns and colors. Both of our diamond braids are custom made for us here in the U.S. These color/patterns we came up with, so most, if not all, you'll only find here!
Proper rope halter fit is very important.
While buying the right size is very important, it's easy to make sizing more difficult than it is :) The BEST and most accurate way to determine size, is to go by what size halter your horse currently wears. Our ten main sizes match up really well with nylon halters. Here are the main size guide lines:
If you're still unsure of size, or if you need a custom halter for your donkey or mule, here are two measurements you can take. Make sure to keep the measuring tape straight and taut. Then just email the measurements to us, and we can tell you what size you'll need.
You don't want your horses halter to sag on him. It's not as effective, and a horse could actually chew on his halter if it's down too low.
You also need to make sure you tie the tie offs right. Hold the loop up on your halter, bring the tie off end through the back of the loop, then around the back to the right, and up and underneath the first part of the tie off strap. Be sure to pull it snug! If this is tied incorrectly, your horse could pull back, and be out of his halter. Or he could just make the halter loose enough to chew on. All halters come with the tie off already tied correctly. Even if a horse pulls back, this latch knot will not loosen until you loosen it.
"The thief comes not, but to kill and to steal and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."

Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu has joined calls to find the thugs who terrorised a French tourist in an ugly attack on a Frankston bus.
Passenger Mike Nayna filmed passengers verbally abusing the girl for singing a song in French on a connecting bus from Edithvale about 10.30pm on Sunday, November 10.
Ted Baillieu condemned the incident, branding it 'absolutely disgraceful'.
"Lets have them identified and we'll find a book to throw at them," he said today.
Within a day of being posted on video sharing website YouTube, the shocking video has drawn almost 346,000 views.
"It was just this weird racial rant that went on too long," Mr Nayna told Seven News.
"It was a bonding session over being horrible, racist and attacking this one girl."
Seven News understands the woman was among a group of backpackers who initially mistook the torrent of abuse for friendly rivalry, but Mr Nayna said things quickly turned nasty.
In the amateur footage, passengers can be heard yelling at the French girl and her mates to 'get off the bus', with some even threatening to kill them.
One passenger shouted at the woman sitting at the back of the bus: 'Speak English or die motherf***er'.
He later yelled: 'Everyone on the bus wants to kill ya! You're gonna have to get off eventually b**ch. You worked that out yet?"
Another man - who appears to be pushing a pram - is heard shouting: 'I'll f***ing box cutter you right now doll'.
Mr Nayna said the abusers were drunk and feeding off one another.
"There were other passengers giving the main guy beer. They were all fueling each other," Mr Nayna said.
"It was mob mentality and sad to see."
Mr Nayna said he uploaded the video to YouTube in an attempt to shame those responsible for the attack.
"I wasn't happy that everything the next day was going to be the same for those people. I just wanted to make them embarrassed.
"Shame is more powerful than a punishment."
One of the abusive men allegedly smashed a bus window when he got off.

Police are investigating and have asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Just returned from an overnight stay at the Hotel Atlantique in Wimereux, near Bolougne, and about 20 minutes drive from the Tunnel. It has a wonderful restaurant, and I had the best meal I have had in a very long time there, so I thought I'd share it with you. The meal for four was 353Euros. A tidy sum, and not something I would do more than once a year probably, but boy was it worth it...The hotel is right on the front, and overlooks the very stylish promenade. It is smallish, with twenty rooms, but decked out in blue and white, and has the style of a thirties' liner. Could be ghastly in the wrong hands, but it is very well done, and everything looks great. Fabulous bright, breezy rooms overlooking the sea, we felt immeadiately relaxed as soon as we got there, and after a long three hour walk in the afternoon along the clifftops, followed by a hot bath and an Campari aperatif on the front, we were absolutely ready for our visit to the Grande Salle a Manger in the Hotel. About 25% of the Hotel seemed to be taken up by the beautiful, light and spacious restaurant situated on the first floor, with one whole wall overlooking the promenade, the wide expanse of smooth sand, and the sea receding leisurely in the distance. There were four of us, and we were seated by one of the elegant waiters, by one of the elegant windows, framed by huge chinese vases. Starched crisp linen, fresh flowers, huge glasses, heavy cutlery that meant business, we sipped out Kir Royales, and contentedly contemplated the menu. Being by the sea, the restaurant was known for it's seafood, and there was plenty on the menu: Red Mullet, Turbot, Lobster, Sole, and not bit of that ubiquitous monkfish in sight. I worked my way leisurely through the choices: A La Carte, a set menu at 34Euros, 49 Euros, or, The Menu 'Surprise' at 61Euros. I looked at my companions: no contest. We put ourselves at the mercy of the Chef-Owner.Being a surprise, as each course is placed in front of us, the Maitre D' proudly but seriously describes it.First Course: a square piece of black slate arrives with a crisp mound of endive in one corner, and a beautifully roasted fillet of Red Mullet, skin nicely caramelised, sitting slightly on top of a great slab of fresh fois gras, which had been seared expertly. I've never had fresh fois gras before, and it was sensational. Cutting through the crisp outside gave way to the most meltingly delicious and rich, buttery fois gras. Absolutley out of this world, and perfect with the Mullet, which had been finished with a reduced Sweet Balsamic Vinegar that perfectly complemented the richness of the fois grasSecond Course: a huge round crennelated white dish, with a smallish depression in the middle, in which are thick (and I mean thick) chunks of lobster, on a bed of tiny vegetables: french beans, carrot, fresh peas, haricots, broad beans, and fresh morrells, as they are in season. In fact, each course was full of seasonality, which made the whole meal so much more satisfying. It was dressed in a creamy, delicate but incredibly flavoursome morrell sauce - a stunning dishThird Course: A square slab of white porcelain, with upturned corners, on which was a square of turbot, plainly cooked in seasoned butter, with (again very seasonal) fresh asparagus, and a goodly few thickish slices of white summer truffle. The asparagus was alive with the delicate taste that is so easy to destroy, unless your ingredients are absolutley fresh, young, and superby cooked, and it was all of these. I have never had truffle before, except once as a few tiny black flecks in some scrambled egg, in an unmemorable but pretentious restaurant, and was never sure what the fuss was about. But these truffle slices had an intense, earthy, and absolutely delicious flavour and crunchy texture: perfect with the meaty texture of the turbot. Again, a sensational dish.That's three courses, and as the dishes were cleared, we sipped our Sauvignon, feeling a sense of free-fall, not knowing what was coming next, and not really caring, because we knew that whatever it was, cheese, pud, we were going to love it, such confidence in the Chef's abilities did we have by now. It was a wonderful feeling.Imagine our surpise therefore (surprise: geddit?) when a pale green, dappled glass plate arrived with a mound of - what? - in the middle, sat atop a puree of some sort, and an extravagant heap of needle thin, crispy fried somethings as a garnish. It smelled wonderful. We looked expectantly for the Maitre D' to tell us what we were about to receive, but he was otherwise engaged across the room. A look of horror crossed the face of our yuoung waiter, as he realised he was going to have to explain, and like an understudy thrust on the stage at the National, he falteringly piped up: "Sauteed Riz de Veau, with pureed celeriac, and topped with crispy salsify" Riz de Veau! (sweetbreads) My absolute favouritist thing, and I hardly ever get it: almost impossible to find in the UK, even in season (now of course is the season). Again it had a subtle but perfect sauce, clearly made from a beautiful reduction of meat juices (probably veal). Wonderful beyond description: each mouthful absolute bliss.Four courses down, how many more to go? The best thing was, although we'd had four courses, we were far from full. The Chef clearly knew exactly how to pace his guests, and his portion control was spot on. We'd sat down at 8.30. It was now 10.00, and we were in no hurry. The staff seemed to pick up on this, and there was about a fifteen minute break, when we seemed to discuss nothing except the meal so far.Fifth Course: the Cheese. Oh gentle reader, words cannot describe the mixture of greed, fear, wonder and apprehension that assaulted our eyes, but mostly our noses as the cheese trolley, the very, very French cheese trolley was wheeled over. The waiter started his description of each of the offerings, name, region, texture, flavour, but after a while they all blended into one (my french is pretty poor anyway). When my turn came to choose, I just pointed and grunted. I got a black-ashed Chevre (pretty safe) a piece of Chauorce (a well known Normandy cheese I've had before: hugely rich but great). A local Wimereau delicacy called something I can't remember, and the last thing I pointed at was a squat, square offering, very soft, with a dark orange rind. It turned out to be Munster, But a very very ripe Munster. A very very very ripe Munster. I'd never had Munster before, but one look at this thing as it glowered at me from my plate, and you knew you were in for a rough ride. I scooped a fair amount up and spread it on a piece of baguette, orange rind and all, shoved it in and started chomping. I now know what 'an assault on the tastebuds' means. I instantly felt violated. I felt like I had Mike Tyson on crack cocaine loose in my mouth. A hurricane of overwhelming, dark, dirty, hellish flavours screamed over my tongue: a blast from the sewer, a gale of halitosis, a salty squall of pigsty: every second or two, as I wiped the tears from my eyes, a new horror goosestepped through my head. And yet, and yet...it was horribly fabulous. I ate the lot. Unbelievable. As for the other cheeses? I have absolutely no idea what they tasted like. It took many chunks of baguette and most of a bottle of sauvignon to bring back some sense of normality to my catatonic tastebuds.Sixth Course: An ice cold shot glass of fruit salad. Tiny diced kiwi, mango, passionfruit, pineapple in a cinnamon infused syrup. A wonderful oasis of flavour and calm after the hurricane that came before.Seventh Course: The desserts, presented on an ice-blue glass slab: Pear poached in red wine and cinnamon. Rhubarb and strawberry tart. Chocolate sorbet with chocolate macaroon, port granita with melon.First, the pear. This was fantastic, and I think my favourite, but that may have been because it was the first I tried. Only about six little slices, but completely soaked through with the blood red sauce, which had a heady exotic spicy flavour: musky and rich.Next, the Rhubarb tart. About 1 1/2 inches across of crisp sweet pastry, with creme anglais on the bottom, a few sticks of intensely flavoured rhubarb, a few slices of strawberry, and a single raspberry that just burst with flavour on the tongue. Of all the dishes that evening, that burst of intense, almost lemony flavour was the most surprising. I still am not sure how it was done. Unbelievable.Next, the granita of Port. A frozen ball of port flavoured something, and underneath, two tiny balls of Chanterelle Melon, with the incredibly intense flavour of a hot, dusty Provencale summer's day market, where you just know all the produce is going to be a hundred times better than anything from the clinical cold fruit display in Tesco. BeautifulFinally, the chocolate sorbet. The smoothest possible rich dark bitter frozen chocolate. Now I don't really like chocolate, certainly not dark chocolate, and definately not bitter chocolate. But this I could not resist. It was not creamy, it was a definite sorbet. Again, how they made chocolate into a sorbet, God knows, but it worked.And that was about it. We had coffee, and they brought us a few more fabulous sweetmeats to have with it, but I was by now in such a state of sated rapture, that they could have brought me a courgette and I probably would have eaten it without protesting.Afterwards, we went for a walk down to the seashore in the pitch dark, pleasantly full, but nowhere near bloated. Dipped out toes in the icy water, and wandered back to our rooms.We left the window wide open and slid between crisp, cool, cotton sheets, the sound of the sea lulling us to sleep.Truly wonderful

text: I think Dice deserves it. The man gave everything night in and night out, even last season when things went south. He was huge in the playoffs. Remember the 2008 playoffs, when he broke his nose, then came back and played like a warrior? That was a huge performance Came here a year late though, as he didn't get a ring he deserved. I hope he gets it with the Spurs next year.

University of California, Berkeley, has won a further $10m from the Federal government to research biofuels, according to Deepti Arora in the Daily Californian, which says:
A group headed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory received an extra $10 million Monday to jump-start research on biofuels at a center established in July with a $125 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
The Berkeley lab is working with a number of research institutions at a facility in Emeryville to develop affordable biofuels. It is one of three groups throughout the country to receive the federal grant to further research of alternative fuel sources.
It adds
The Bay Area center has now received a total of $135 million from the energy department, as part of an effort to produce cost-competitive cellulosic ethanol by 2012.
The federal grant followed a $500 million award to the UC Berkeley campus from oil company BP announced in February, which will establish a bioenergy research facility at the Berkeley lab.
It looks like BP made a good bet funding research at Berkeley rather than London's Imperial College, which I think was also in the running for BP funding. While there is no doubt about the intellectual calibre of the staff at Imperial, it is hard to imagine the UK government, or European Union being as generous with additional support. But then, neither have to stop a president getting egg over his face, if 35 Billion Gallons Of Renewable And Alternative Fuels In 2017 don't materialise.

Bloomberg: In Reponse to Climate Change, NYC Needs Levees
New York needs more coastline protections in the wake of climate change. So says New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg Thursday, in a major address on rebuilding after storm Sandy delivered Thursday. Bloomberg was introduced by former Vice President Al Gore.
"Over the past month," Mayor Bloomberg said, "there has been a lot of discussion about sea walls. It would be nice if we could stop the tides from coming in, but King Canute couldn't do it – and neither can we, especially if, as many scientists project, sea levels continue rising. However, there may be some coastline protections that we can build that will mitigate the impact of a storm surge – from berms and dunes, to jetties and levees."
We'll have more soon. Meantime, you can find the full transcript of the remarks here.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Four years ago, Natalie Nichole couldn't find an L.A.-area salon to give her the 3-D Japanese nail art she wanted, so she decided to start doing it herself. Today she's one of the most sought-after nail artists in Hollywood, yet she's still accessible to the public — a rarity in this town. Nichole calls her business Nail Swag, and to her, 10 fingers are simply 10 little canvases, ready for the painting. From acrylics to gel overlays on natural nails, she'll take any idea you come up with — whether it's disco ball–inspired nails or the Pantone color of the year — and turn it into the most Instagrammable work of nail art you've ever seen. Email for an appointment at her private Silver Lake studio. firstname.lastname@example.com. —Bren Lee Gomez
If you are feeling at all uneasy about spending two hours floating in water in total sensory deprivation, Crash, the shaggy-haired, flip-flop–wearing owner of Float Lab, will make you feel at ease. Each of his two womblike chambers is filled with body-temperature saltwater and encased in dark, soundproof walls. With nothing to distract, you are free to explore your mind completely unencumbered. During the big isolation-tank craze a few decades ago, it was said that some famed writers came up with their best ideas inside the tanks, and that the mind invented vivid colors and patterns. Stand-up comedian Joe Rogan is a fan and regularly touts Float Lab on his podcast. The popularity and constant waiting lists have prompted Crash's expansion plans, with a new 10-chamber facility on Wilshire in the works. 801 Ocean Front Walk, #5, Venice. (310) 396-3336, floatlab.com. —Jackie Adams
While colonics might be a daunting thought for some, if one ever requires or desires this purportedly detoxifying treatment, Healing Waters Institute in Studio City is a great place to get flushed. The clean and cozy facility features state-of-the-art equipment that makes colon irrigation mostly comfortable and largely non-invasive. Owner Annabelle Cordova is a sage when it comes to colon health, and she's compassionate and funny to boot, gently guiding clients through the process while explaining exactly what's coming out of you, why it looks the way it does (yes, you can see it), and what you can do to make it look healthier. Foot reflexology and abdominal massage are performed during the session for greater "releases," and the facility also offers a hyperbaric chamber and foot-detoxification therapy. Most folks leave with a better understanding of their digestive system, and a few pounds lighter to boot. 4343 Laurel Canyon Blvd., Studio City. (818) 506-7592, healingwatersinstitute.com. —Katie Bain
The Koreatown bathhouse emporium Wi Spa is tricked out with saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, clay rooms, salt rooms, ice rooms, 200-plus-degree rooms and myriad other methods of detoxifying and refreshing body and mind. The entrance fee is $30 (with a variety of deals and discounts throughout the week), and once inside there's no limit to how long you can stay and soak. The space is divided into men's and women's spas, and a coed area features treatment rooms along with a café and a casual hangout space. There's also free Wi-Fi, a few TVs and an area for napping. Massages, salt scrubs, deep-tissue work, waxing, manicures and more are relatively inexpensive, and the staff does a consistently great job. The place is pristine and open 24 hours a day, making it a prime place to disappear into for an afternoon or unwind at after a long evening. Parking is free, and patrons can even get a car wash. Full service, indeed. 2700 Wilshire Blvd., Koreatown. (213) 487-2700, wispausa.com. —Katie Bain
The word "massage" can mean a variety of things. There's Swedish massage, Thai massage, deep-tissue Rolfing, and the kind of massage you get at fringe-y parlors that elicit snickering chatter about "happy endings." L.A. Sports Massage offers a targeted and quality-assured service: a rigorous, but not extremely painful, reparative and restorative massage aimed at addressing specific physical ailments common to athletes and other physically active people. LASM says that in many cases, a few sessions in its bright, cheery Culver City space with one of its athlete/massage therapists not only gives relief from muscular or joint pains but can also actually reverse the intrinsic problem. Now that's a real happy ending! 13205 W. Washington Blvd., Culver City. (310) 439-1421, lasportsmassage.com. —Adam Gropman
If your idea of an adult shop is a shame-inducing hole-in-the-wall with sticky magazines, XXX video booths filled with men on the sex-offender list, and leather accessories worthy of a farm, Pure Delish probably isn't the place for you. It has no videos and no magazines, but, taking a page from Hustler Hollywood, that mall-like boutique for smut and unmentionables on the Sunset Strip, it has lingerie, shoes, lube, condoms and toys. The women who work there dress in candy-striper outfits, which is nice. But here's the thing: Most of the customers are female. The sales staff will happily, without much blushing or giggling, demonstrate the latest in battery-operated technology, too. And the prices are good. Not that we'd know. 10746 Washington Blvd., Culver City. (310) 591-8792, puredelish.com. —Dennis Romero
