Not long ago, Annabeth Eberle played the role of clutch performer when the Utah gymnastics team needed a big finishing routine.
Then it was Ashley Postell's turn. Last year it was seniors Kristina Baskett and Nina Kim who normally were the last to perform.
As the 2010 season begins Saturday the duty goes to ... Anyone? Anyone?
This season the Utes, picked No. 2 in the preseason poll, boast one of their most experienced rosters, with four seniors and three juniors.
But among them they don't have that superstar gymnast, the one who can automatically be penciled in as the closer on every event.
However, lacking such a gymnast isn't such a bad thing in the eyes of coach Greg Marsden, who believes he has plenty of talent to compete for the national title.
The Utes finished third in 2009 following three straight second-place showings. Georgia, which has won the last five titles, was picked No. 1 again even though it has a new coach in Jay Clark, the former assistant who took over when Suzanne Yoculan retired.
"I do think we can contend if everybody is on board," Marsden said. "We're not going to be a team that has a big star that carries the team, or one or two people. We need everybody doing their part."
Even so, Marsden predicts he'll lean on his senior class to carry much of the load while the three freshmen adjust to collegiate gymnastics.
Six-time All-American Daria Bijak has to be the leader on the floor, even if she isn't necessarily the last in the lineups, Marsden said.
"She has the most accolades this year, but Jamie [Deetscreek] hit every routine last year at some point and she has to be big for us too. Beth [Rizzo] is back and Annie [DiLuzio] too. We have to depend on people who have been here and know what to expect year after year."
Marsden said he thought the Utes' preseason ranking, determined by the coaches, was a "little generous," however he and his team feel good about their preseason.
There have been some typical setbacks. Junior Jacquelyn Johnson had appendicitis, freshman Katelyn Mohr has stress fractures in her back and Rizzo has had trouble with kidney stones.
The team also had a bout of swine flu.
None of the issues were serious enough to make the Utes feel behind in their training as they prepare for the season opener today against the No. 5 Bruins.
"We have so many people fighting for spots in the lineup," Deetscreek said. "We've been pushing each other and working hard and we know we have a lot of potential with a lot of experience from last year."
For now, Marsden doesn't see one event stronger or weaker than the others, believing he has six or seven strong gymnasts from which to choose when he makes his lineups.
Seeing how they all fit together will be the Utes' primary focus in the first few meets, particularly when it comes to deciding who will anchor what event.
"We have to learn in the course of the season and determine who is going to be in those roles," he said. "We have to have the right people and in the right places in the lineup and give them an opportunity to be comfortable in those places."

Good Monday morning, Bulldog Nation!
In case you were living under a rock this weekend, here's your one-stop update on what all your current/former Georgia athletes did in London!
*Allison Schmitt, a rising senior swimmer, already secured herself 2 medals - taking silver and set the American record in the 400 freestyle on Sunday in 4:01.77, one day after anchoring the US 4x100m freestyle relay that took bronze in another American record-setting performance. Schmitt just qualified this morning for the semifinals of this afternoon's 200m freestyle, and will be seeded second. The 200m free finals are on Tuesday.
*John Isner won his opening round singles match and will take on Tunisia's Malek Jaziri today (Monday) at 11 am ET. Isner lost his first round doubles match with Andy Roddick on Saturday, and could still be named to a mixed doubles team for the US, with that draw set to be announced Tuesday.
*Gymnastics signee Brittany Rogers helped Canada earn a berth in the team final for the first time at a non-boycotted Olympics Sunday. Canada has now reached the final just twice in history, the last in 1984. She and her teammates will compete Tuesday. Rogers placed seventh on vault with a score of 14.666 to qualify for the individual event final to take place Aug. 5. She also took 16th on bars with a 14.500.
*Former Georgia volleyball player Lizzie Reid and Great Britain will take on Algeria tonight at 5 pm, looking to avenge their opening round loss to Russia. Reid played the final two points of the second set vs. Russia on Saturday.
...and that's what you missed! Pretty amazing first weekend for the Dawgs in London... already 2 medals and plenty of opportunities for more!
Just a reminder, we'll be tweeting live results from the individual Georgia sports Twitter accounts, as well as from our official account (@UGAAthletics) and from our blog's page (@UGAHedgesBlog), so if you're trying to avoid results, STAY OFF TWITTER! :)
And if you're talking about the Bulldogs in the Olympics, please use our official hashtag #UGAOlym!
Have a great day and Go Dawgs!

Fucked Up
Fucked Up formed in Toronto in 2002, high-school friends influenced by first- and second-wave hardcore bands like Minor Threat and NOFX. It was instantly apparent that they were not carbon-copy punks. Known by bizarre aliases, Fucked Up employ creative methods of spreading information & misinformation. Basic facts are constantly in flux. It is unclear how many of their 7"s have actually been released. Rumors about Fucked Up circulate like wildfire among their obsessive fans. The bottom line is that this band could only come out of hardcore, but they are now making music like no hardcore band in history. Though Fucked Up remain punks at heart - if quixotically diverse ones - they continue to create great, weird, heavy records that stubbornly stick in your brain and your heart.
For the Altamont Fall 2010 collection, Fucked Up contributed to the creation of the cover and vinyl 10" record for the Fall 2010 Altamont catalog, as well as two t-shirt designs. Here to explain the graphics in the Fucked Up for Altamont collaboration series is none other than Fucked Up frontman, Damian "Pink Eye" Abraham, himself:
"The idea for the Fucked Up hippie shirt, F'd Up Logo, was rooted in wanting to do something along the lines of the head shop Grateful Dead shirts. Around the age of 12, I went through a brief phase of taking acid, smoking weed and wearing a "steal your face" tie dye shirt. By the time I hit 14, I had taken a black sharpie and written "SUCKS" in huge letters across the front of said shirt and declared myself a punk, disavowing my brief "hippie" phase. With an enthusiasm that can only come from the recently converted, I professed my deep seated hatred of hippies to anyone that would listen as I thought that is what a good punk rocker should. However, after a few years passed, I learned more about the roots of punk and I began to soften my opinions. The importance of bands like MC5, Pink Fairies, The Fugs, Pink Floyd and countless others in forming what was to become called punk rock cannot be understated. This shirt is a tribute to all that is cool that came out of the hippies: Altamont, Weathermen, Manson, the great bands, drug culture, rock posters, underground comix, etc.
"The inspiration for the other shirt, F'd Up, came from the SST punk vs. raver t-shirt. When I was just getting interested in punk, my friends and I would pour over the cool shirts for punk bands/labels found in the Session's mailorder catalog. One of the shirts that I always wanted to order was a shirt with a drawing of a punk punching a raver in the face aka Punk vs. Raver shirt. Although I never did order the shirt the image of it has remained burned in my memory to this day. Unlike hippies, I still have never seen anything redeeming in rave culture. The same week Altamont asked us to do this I noticed a "Facebook" group for kids from Toronto that used to go to raves and it really bummed me out. So I asked Brian Walsby if he would be into doing his interpretation of the shirt on our behalf for Altamont. It turned out he had never seen the shirt so I gave him the gist of it and this is the result.
"Brian, in my opinion, is one of the best, most underrated illustrators to come out of punk. Though his art was used by everyone from 7 Seconds to The Melvins, he has somehow fallen into obscurity. He is also an amazing drummer having played in the pre-Ten Foot Pole band and 'Nardcore legends, Scared Straight, the pre-Superchunk band, Wax, Ryan Adams' pre-Whiskeytown band, The Patty Duke Syndrome and most recently winding up in one of the best current Hardcore bands, Double Negative.
"I am proud of the way both of these shirts turned out."
--Damian Ford Abraham (Fucked Up)

WATCH: Justin Bieber - 'All Around The World'
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
It looks like Justin Bieber's "All Around The World" finally got a music video! The singer took to Twitter earlier to drop hints about the new video for the song, which came out last June as a promotional single for his Believe album. He let fans know to look out for a surprise on Friday, along with the hashtag "#AATWvideo." The video is Bieber's first since last October's "Beauty And A Beat," featuring Nicki Minaj.
Meanwhile, the Biebs is continuing the European leg of his tour. On Thursday, he tweeted that he "ate something funny" and was feeling under the weather. But to the relief of his Belgian fans, he recuperated in time and was able to perform for the second night of his sold out show in Antwerp. The last time Bieber had stomach problems was on the opening night of the U.S. tour last October, when he vomited onstage in Phoenix.

Drug smugglers challenge US Coast Guard
By Julie Watson and Elliot Spagat, AP Tuesday, February 25, 2014, 12:51 am TWN
SAN DIEGO--While security has tightened at the U.S. border, drug smugglers are increasingly turning to the high seas.
The area where boats were seized off California and the northwest coast of Mexico tripled during the 2013 fiscal year, which ended in September. Off South America, traffickers over the years have been traversing territory so big the continental United States could be dropped inside of it.
Meanwhile, budget cuts have hit one of the lead U.S. law enforcement agencies on international waters — the Coast Guard, the only U.S. military service able to make drug arrests hundreds of miles offshore. To meet automatic federal budget cuts, it reduced its operating costs by 25 percent in 2013. It also lost help from U.S. Navy ships on drug missions off Latin America that were decommissioned and not replaced because of cutbacks, or sent elsewhere because of Washington's new military focus.
Only a third of suspected drug smuggling boats or aircraft out of South America that were tracked by U.S. intelligence in cocaine-trafficking corridors in the Pacific and Caribbean were stopped last year, the Coast Guard's top officer, Adm. Robert Papp, told The Associated Press.
"Our interdictions are down 30 percent from the year before, when we had more assets out there, so that's an indicator to me that as soon as we start pulling assets away, they're running more drugs and they're getting through," Papp said.
U.S. authorities stopped some 194,000 pounds (87,900 kilograms) of cocaine last fiscal year — more than 40,000 pounds (18,140 kilograms) less than in 2012, according to Coast Guard statistics. Marijuana seizures dipped between 2012 and 2013 from 124,000 pounds (56,240 kilograms) to 81,000 pounds (36,740 kilograms).
Defense officials have warned the cuts would hamper efforts to reach U.S. President Barack Obama's goal of intercepting 40 percent of the illicit drug shipments flowing into the region by 2015. Fighting drug traffickers at sea is crucial because small aircraft used by traffickers can only carry about a ton of drugs versus large boats that can cart up to 20 tons of cocaine or more, authorities said.
As much as 20 percent of the cocaine moving through South America ends up in the United States. Large amounts also travel across the ocean into Africa, providing funding for insurgents and drug traffickers, and then on up into Europe.
"We've had to cut back in hours and funding, and cut back on resources on the water," said Cmdr. Chris German, deputy chief of law enforcement for the 11th District, which stretches from Oregon to Peru.
Too Wide to Cover
Sea smuggling has not grabbed the attention of lawmakers like the flow of illegal goods across the land border, where billions of dollars have been spent on tightening security.
Part of the reason is the challenge to patrolling the ocean.
With more than 42,000 active-duty members, the Coast Guard is assisted in the drug war by other U.S. agencies. It also works closely with other nations, but that help only goes so far. Bilateral treaties sometimes limit waters it can patrol, and some of the foreign navies are small and underequipped.
U.S. officials, for instance, cannot venture into Mexican waters without prior permission and will stop a chase and alert Mexican authorities if suspected boats cross into that territory. Treaties with nations such as Colombia allow U.S. authorities more latitude.

Give us a thousand of whatever you want. A 1,000 byte JPG, MP3 or textfile. Need a little extra? 1,024 will do, we're not religious. We're cool. Just make it 1K of awesome, k?
Thanks to Seagate Technologies, which just shipped its billionth drive, one of you will get enough space to store your work a billion times over: a Terabyte hard drive.
If every drive it ever sold was put together, Seagate says, there'd be enough space to store 79 million terabytes (75 exabytes). It took three decades to do so, but thinks it will double that number in less than 5 years.
Making the most of limited space is the theme of the competition, however. It's no good giving us 1k of actionscript glued to assets that mock the metric. If you write us a short story, 1,000 letters will trump 1,000 words.
On the other hand, if your 1K of source code ends up as a 3MB executable thanks to unavoidable embedded runtimes, worry not. So long as your rationale is clear, we won't be sticklers.
The one rule is that whatever you do should be under a license that permits us to use your work at BBG without issue. GPL or Creative Commons licenses are suggested. (This is in lieu of the traditional option, where you submit this sort of stuff to a contest and then lose all rights to it.)
Link to your entry from the comments (or even just post it there!) and fire off an email to beschizza#gmail.com. We'll cycle back in a week and start picking the winners.

The popular Australian has far exceeded the previous record of 61 tons in a campaign, set by Judd Trump last season, and extended his staggering 2013-14 haul to 91 with runs of 111 and 116 in a 5-1 win over Rory McLeod.
World number one Robertson will tackle Marco Fu in the third round as he steps up his bid for a third title this season, having already landed UK Championship and Wuxi Classic silverware.
Robertson is away and clear in the century stakes, but Ding Junhui has the edge over him on the trophy front, having already reeled in four big ones in ranking events this term.
Another in China this week would mean Ding matches Stephen Hendry's all-time record of five in a season, with the China Open and World Championship still to come.
Ding almost had his comeuppance in the second round as he trailed India's Pankaj Advani 4-2, but breaks of 52, 136 and 86 saw the match turn around 5-4 in favour of the home player, who plays Shaun Murphy - a 5-1 second-round winner over Mark King - next.
While Robertson and Ding aim high, Mark Allen is arguably still the man to beat, as he attempts to win this tournament for a third successive year.
It is the only major ranking event at which the Northern Irishman has ever triumphed, but he has a taste for it and came from 3-2 behind to overcome former world champion Mark Williams 5-3 in their second-round tussle.
Allen was relieved to see off his fellow left-hander, and revealed he achieved the win on the back of just two hours of sleep overnight.
"It was enough today. I wouldn't recommend it," Allen said on worldsnooker.com.
"Every time I come to China my sleep pattern is pretty bad. But I've won a few tournaments out here so I can't complain.
"I'll never use lack of sleep as an excuse for losing a match but I'd rather get a few more hours than two."
Next for Allen is Ricky Walden - a 5-1 victor against Ken Doherty.
Other winners on Wednesday included Shoot-Out champion Dominic Dale, Kurt Maflin, Mark Selby, Alan McManus, John Higgins, Graeme Dott and Trump.
Trump was in trouble at 4-3 behind against experienced Welshman Matthew Stevens, but the 24-year-old Bristolian pulled through in a decider.Reuse content

The Lakewood track trio of Shaquem and Shaquill Griffin and Tim Holmes added Gibbs' Trayvon Bromell to form an all-star 4x100-meter relay at the Golden South meet.
The foursome ran past an impressive field to win the event in 40.29 seconds, the fastest time in the nation this year.
Bromell was not finished. The Gladiator sprinter set a meet record by winning the 100 in 10.27 seconds, surpassing the previous best of 10.29 set by Palmetto's Curtis Johnson in 1991. The Griffin twins and Holmes were joined by American Heritage's Khari Herbert on an all-star 4x400 that won in 3:15.07, the ninth-best time in the nation.
Shaquem won the triple jump (49-5 ¼) and was second in the long jump (22-0 ¼). Shaquill was second in the triple jump (48-5 ¾ ). Holmes was runnerup in both the 110 hurdles (14.07) and 400 hurdles (52.78).
St. Petersburg's Cayman Ellis won the pole vault by clearing 15-6. Plant's Julia Rodriguez took first in the 3,200 (10:53.23), and Hillsborough's Jorian Ordway won the 400 in a personal-best 54.19 seconds.

What can I do to fix this sentence?
Fred said the distributor cap on my car is cracked
Nothing, other than a period at the end. You've used an indirect quotation, and quotation marks are not needed.
Ms. Sue is correct.
Someone posted this very sentence the other day -- http://www.jiskha.com/display.cgi?id=1363261452 -- and it was answered differently AND INCORRECTLY!! If you use quotation marks there also needs to be a comma and an additional word needs to be capitalized ... AND you change the meaning of the sentence!!
Best keep it as it is!
Thank you both!
You're welcome!
That was my mistake, I read it as a direct quote of Fred, speaking about his own car, rather than an indirect quote. Thank you.

text: This is my great-great-great-great-grandmother, Mary Foster Ethell. The photograph for her CDV was taken in Cumberland, Ohio, during the 1860s. I wish the top part of the photo had not been smudged, since it makes her face hazy. Note the tasseled belt at her waist and the bolo-style tie at her neckline. I believe she is wearing a short corset, because the line clearly doesn't go above the bustline, which makes for a "lumpy" silhouette. The day dress that I wear to Civil War-era living history events and reenactments is almost an exact copy of Mary's gown, except that I opted for small pagoda sleeves rather than cloak sleeves.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/2/2013 (1599 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
From paint chips to fashion plates, Pantone is the superstar conglomerate that forecasts the trends and colour systems — using leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of colour across a variety of industries — we see each year in home design avenues and on catwalks across the globe.
The Pantone name is known worldwide as the standard language for colour communication from designer to manufacturer, to retailer to customer. What they — and other companies in the colour business — have picked as some of this year's hottest colour trends may surprise you, and even inspire you.
A new year means new possibilities and projections of change. If you've been yearning for either in terms of your spaces and existing home décor, here's your opportunity: 'Emerald' has been named the colour of the year for 2013. Whether you choose to paint walls or simply decorate with it, this stunning hue is a vibrant and refreshing choice that can easily revitalize any room of the house.
Not just for jeans, denim is splashed throughout the pages of favorite design magazines everywhere! Wall coverings, pillows, lamp shades — the rich and moody hue can really set the tone in a space needing some grounding and grown-up touches.
Light and airy shades of pale lemon and butter cream are making their way back into home décor schemes, but this time they're being paired with deeper shades of gray, shale, charcoal, and acorn brown. I think every space needs a spot of contrast between light and dark, and this soothing and refreshing tone does just that when mixed with richer tones.
A favourite of mine, a light and coastal approach to opening up and expanding your spaces is easy when you stick to watery shades of warm mint, teal, and silvery sage. Beach glass green looks divine when paired with pale lemon, cream, crisp white, indigo, sand, and brown.
Yes, you read that right — pale shades of salmon are all over the colour map for 2013. Little girls' bedroom linens or small decorative accessories might just be the perfect touch your space needs rather than an all-over paint makeover. You can definitely expect to see this shade more in the fashion world this year — a perfect example of how some hues don't always work in the crossover from runway to home.
Colour trends are tricky: they're hot for a season, but sometimes fizzle by the time December rolls around. Unless a true favourite of yours, sticking to small accents and accessories that can easily and inexpensively be changed out once the trend has run its course is always best.

The GIS was developed under the PERUSA project supported by the INTAS foundation through the grant INTAS OPEN 97-10984. We thank Mr. Eugene Lopatin, currently at the Centre for GIS Technologies of the Forestry Highschool, Syktyvkar and Ms. Irina Shesler from the PolarUralGeology Company, Vorkuta who participated the GIS development. Special thanks to Dr. Peter Kuhry from the Arctic Centre, University of Lapland, Finland who coordinated the project and helped us to fill gaps in information exchange between Russian and western researches.
There are four data layers in the data set. Each data layer comprises several layers. The data layers are a location map (jpeg file), a base map layer, a permafrost layer, and two key (permafrost) areas. Each layer is stored as ESRI Shapefile spatial data format. The Shapefiles are most easily imported into ESRI's ArcView, but most other GIS packages can import Shapefiles. ESRI also provides a free basic GIS package, ArcExplorer, on the ESRI web site.
The Shapefiles for each layer consists of three files: ggd614_descriptive_text.dbf (attribute data), ggd614_descriptive_text.shp (feature geometry) and ggd614_descriptive_text.shx (feature geometry index). An ArcView project file is provided (ggd614_project.apr).
Filenames for this data set have the format ggd614_descriptive_text.ext, where descriptive_text describes the conent of the data layer or file and .ext indicates the type of file.
Commonly used descriptive_texts are:
|permafrost, pfrst
|permafrost zone map (polygons)
|pingos and frost mounds (point)
|thermokarst, tkrst
|thermokarst and other crysospheric processes (point)
|massive ground ice (point)
|borehole, bhole
|borehole site maps (point)
Two key study area maps are included in the data set Lek-Vorkuta and Bolshaya Rogovaya. Data layers for these regions have lekvor and rogov, respectively, in the descriptive text strings.
Layer: ggd614_streams
Data type: polygons
Description: large rivers
Attributes: Elevations a.s.l. for each contour are given in the attribute table of the layer "Hyp_line" (lines). width_midd - the average object width (e.g., average width of each river polygon). There are three classes 0, 29, and 30. 29 is "more than 120m", 30 is "200m or more", and 0 is not explained but probably is "no data."
Speed, water, width_plac, and ground attribures were not explained and had no data, so they have been removed.
Layer: ggd614_river
Data Type: line, Represents: smaller rivers
Attributes: length - is river length in meters
Layer: ggd614_lake (aqua)
Data Type: polygon
Coverage layer: lakes
Attributes: area - in square meters and hectares
Layer: ggd614_permafrost
Data type: polygon
Description: permafrost regions
The attribute table contains permafrost temperature classes, lithology and stratigraphy classes. All classes in the attribute table are given as codes. Explanation of the codes are in the tables "ggd614_pfrostclass.dbf", "ggd614_lithoclass.dbf" and "ggd614_stratclass.pdf", respectively, which can be joined to the attribute table of the layer.
There are also four point layers: "Thermokarst and other cryogenic processes", "Frost mounds with massive ice", "Massive ground ice" and "Reference boreholes". To get details of a particular borehole, identify its number using Info button and then find the number in the table "ggd614_borehole_cat.dbf".
pertemp - This is a character field of width 2. There are nine possible values for the field. Values range from 1 to 9. These values correspond to annual (soil? ground?) temperature (degrees C) and a descriptive field that describes map zones as continuous, isolated and sporadic. The annual temperature values and descriptive fields that correspond to each value are given in ggd630_pfrostclass.dbf.
geology - This is a 16 character field that describes the geology and stratigraphy. Values are alphanumeric (eg a III, Pz). Lowercase letters describe rock type (sedimentary, metamorphic etc) and deposit. Sedimentary deposits as the type of deposit, a for alluvial, c for colluvial, g for glacial etc. Uppercase letters and roman numerals denote chronostratigraphic units (e.g. Paleaozoic, Upper Pleistocene, Quarternary). No distinction is made between rock types for the Proterozoic and Palaeozoic (US Paleozoic) eras. Explanations for these alphanumeric codes are given in ggd630_stratclass.dbf.
lithology - This is an 11 digit numeric field that describes the lithology, e.g. peat, sands etc. There are 8 possible values, coded 1 to 8. A description for each code is in ggd614_lithoclass.dbf.

Why we show up: the value of visibility
This is an op-ed that ran in last week's SF Bay Guardian
Why we show up: the value of visibility
Three years ago, the 1st annual anti-choice "Walk for Life—West Coast," march, which is organized by the San Francisco and Oakland Archdiocese, "Feminists for Life," and others, walked the length of the Embarcadero, near the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, armed with what they claim is the absolute "truth" about abortion: it "hurts women," and that's all it does. They announced their intention of coming back year after year until abortion (and contraception and queer partnerships, according to some of the signage) was a thing of the past. Speakers at the anti-choice rally decried what they saw as the ultimate sell out—abortion—which "turns women against their babies", and is a manifestation of "sexual lawlessness."
It's a rich irony that the Catholic Church, with its tradition of protecting sexually lawless priests, feels entitled to anoint itself as the protectors of children. But more to the point, what you get when you prohibit abortions are illegal abortions. You do nothing to solve the problems of women who were forced to get an abortion, or who were forcibly sterilized, or who were forced to give birth, or forced in any way to act against their deepest needs. Coercion is a real problem. Simple prohibition is no solution.
The question for those committed to reproductive rights is this: how can we broaden the debate beyond abortion in the four hours that the anti-choice marchers hit the streets? How can we effectively address the fundamental right for a woman to control her body, the need for healthcare, childcare, the need for safe and accessible contraception, the discriminatory treatment of immigrant, young, queer and women of color, and the continuing onslaught of restrictions on family planning clinics nationwide?
The answer is to encourage visibility and attendance by local and national reproductive rights organizations and individuals that have done the work to provide women with healthcare options, emotional, and economic support and non-biased information about their bodies and their rights. The Bay Area Coalition for Our Reproductive Rights has put out a national call to action, that will transform January 20th from a one-sided debate, dominated by triumphalist marches and rhetoric by the anti-choice community, into a day of impassioned displays of cultural solidarity between the reproductive rights, queer and social justice organizations. It's cultural events like these that lead to solid gains for reproductive rights—at the polls, in legislative offices and at the community level. We cannot solely depend on elected officials to secure and expand our rights. What's needed is a inclusive movement with diverse allies like the the San Francisco Labor Council; the Green Party; Code Pink; Dr. Ahimsa Sumchai, Sister Bernie Galvin, Choice USA; San Francisco NOW; National Radical Women; California State Assemblyman Mark Leno; [Amnesty] Freedom Socialist Party; the Ruckus Society; Women's Choice Clinic; GABNet; United Auto Workers, Local 2103; San Francisco Atheists; the Coalition for a General and Unconditional Amnesty for All Now; the National Network of Abortion Funds, and others, all of whom acknowledge an existing nexus in their programs with reproductive rights work. These groups, together, illustrate the wide range of rights and options that constitute real choice.
And make no mistake, what we need are more rights, not less. We need a display of community that collectively spells out the as-yet unwritten bill of reproductive rights: the right to reproduce, or not, in safety, within responsive, accessible health care systems and under the guidance and urgings of our souls, reason and faith.
Saturday, January 20th is the opportunity to demonstrate the breadth and depth of our work and to join together in celebration of the rights we do have- as well as show our intent to secure more.
Gather with BACORR at 10:30am at Pier 5. For more information, e-mail BACORR at bacorrinfo [at] riseup.net or call 415-864-1278.

Climate Change
If it seems like the consequences of climate change are getting worse every year, it's because they are. 2014 was the hottest year in recorded history. The 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 1998. It's happening right before our eyes, whether it's rising sea levels, out-of-control forest fires stemming from heat waves and longer periods of drought, or more frequent and more intense tornadoes and storms like Hurricanes Sandy and Katrina. These extreme weather events aren't just costly, all too often they are deadly. We cannot afford for our lawmakers to kick the can down the road any further.
President Obama is not waiting around for Congress to act. Why should he? Republicans in Congress refuse to acknowledge the overwhelming consensus in the scientific community. They don't care that 97% of peer-reviewed climate science papers have concluded climate change is happening and that it is man-made.
The President has put forth a common sense plan to protect future generations by setting the first-ever national carbon emissions limits for America's existing power plants. Right now, power plants are allowed to dump unlimited amounts of carbon pollution into the air, but under this new plan we could see a 30% reduction in pollution from the power sector by 2030. That's the same as taking nearly two-thirds of all cars and trucks in America off the road in terms of carbon pollution.
The plan will also leave us breathing cleaner air by cutting down smog and soot by 25%. In the first year alone of these new rules, up to 100,000 asthma attacks and 2,100 heart attacks could be avoided.
Military researchers have also deemed climate change a threat to our national security. Droughts will cause tensions as food and water become scarcer. Rising sea levels are displacing populations and threatening food supplies in coastal regions, which could eventually result in a huge influx of refugees.
But Republicans prefer to keep their heads in the sand. They are the Flat Earth Society of the 21st Century. When confronted on their do-nothing position, they often shrug and say 'I'm no scientist'. And yet they remain 100% certain that we should ignore 97% of the scientific community. It may be because Big Oil and other Big Pollution interests like the Koch brothers have given Republicans hundreds of millions of reasons to feign or maintain ignorance to the detriment of our environment, health and national security. And now the Republican presidential field is feeling the heat for their devil-may-care-attitude toward climate change since Pope Francis released his official encyclicalcalling the looming environmental devastation a 'moral issue' that can no longer be ignored by politicians and policy makers — a very big deal.
The GOP didn't listen to former U.S. Generals and Admirals who warned climate change is a serious and immediate national security threat. They've blown off the 97 percent of the scientific community that agree that climate change is real and man-made. They choose to ignore the growing chorus of economists that say the President's carbon action plan is good for the economy and jobs. And so far, the moral appeal by the Pope and many other faith leaders that our political leaders need to be better stewards of the planet has been met with indifference from those too busy chasing Koch money. What will it take to convince the Grand Oil Party to act: a climate event straight out of the book of Genesis?
We've done big things that protect the environment is the past, and we can do it again. In 1990, when we took steps to stop acid rain, the special interests claimed electricity bills would rise and that action would kill jobs. When we passed the Clean Air Act to combat smog, they said new pollution standards would decimate the auto industry. They were wrong then and they're wrong now. The President's Clean Power Plan will create good-paying American jobs by investing in clean energy and increasing efficiency because it means the next great breakthroughs in clean energy technology will be developed here at home, not overseas.
It's in our national interest to address this crisis head-on now. Lives, money, and precious resources can be saved in our lifetimes. And we have a moral obligation to not leave our children and grandchildren a planet that is damaged beyond fixing.

Rider Wins 2, Niagara Falls
College Baseball
Rider University 3, Niagara University 2 (13 innings)
Rider University 9, Niagara University 4
LAWRENCEVILLE-It took 22 innings, but the Broncs swept a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference doubleheader with Niagara Saturday afternoon. "Anytime you win it's good," said Rider head coach Barry Davis. "At the end of the day we had two wins and that's what we came out here to do."
In the first game, a scheduled seven inning contest, junior Adam Wayman (Wilkes-Barre, Pa./G.A.R. Memorial) led off the 13th inning with a double, his third hit of the game and scored the game winner on a throwing error. "That was a big hit by Wayman," Davis said, "and we caught a break and scored, but we put ourselves in position to get the break."
"I was just trying to get in scoring position," Wayman said. "I felt I had to get on base. Once I hit the double everybody else did their job and I was able to score."
The Broncs led 2-0 on RBI singles by freshman Mike Parsons (Liverpool, NY) in the first inning and senior Brandon Cotten (Wiconisco, Pa./Williams Valley) in the fifth inning, but Niagara tied the score at 2-2 in the seventh inning on a third strike wild pitch and three singles. "We grinded out the first game today," Davis said.
Junior Tyler Smith (Westmont/Haddon Twp.), a Preseason All-American who earned All-East honors last year as a closer, pitched seven innings of relief for the victory. "Smitty was outstanding," Davis said. "He didn't want to come out, so that's a tribute to him."
Smith has compiled 27 saves in his career, three this year, but suffered a blown save on Saturday. "You try to forget things like that," Smith said, "but it is always in the back of your mind. So that gave me some fuel to go out there today."
Freshman Kurt Sowa (Bensalem, PA/Fr. Judge) started the game and pitched four and two-thirds scoreless innings, enough for a win in a scheduled seven inning contest, and left with a 1-0 lead. "Every time out he's given us a chance to win the game," Davis said of his rookie starter.
In the second game, Parsons hit a two-out RBI single in the sixth inning to break a 4-4 tie. "I thought we deserved the win in the first game," Davis said, "and the second game was up for grabs. Mike battles and gets good at bats. He did a good job."
Rider (7-14, 2-1 MAAC) tied the score at 1-1 in the second inning when Wayman singled and scored on a double by freshman Greg Fazio (Far Hills/Ridge). Fazio had four hits in the twin bill.
Niagara (8-13, 1-2 MAAC) took a 4-1 lead in the fifth inning but the Broncs came right back to tie it at 4-4 with three runs in the fifth inning on three hits and a pair of Purple Eagle errors. The big hit of the inning was a two-run single by junior Ian Lindsay (Oaklyn/Haddon Twp.).
The Broncs broke the game open with four runs in the seventh inning on five hits, including three doubles. The most unique double you will ever see, however, was Fazio's. With runners on first and second, Fazio was given the bunt sign. With the third baseman charging, Fazio faked the bunt and slapped the ball over the rushing infielder for an RBI double. "Fazio's slash was the big play," Davis said.
Rider sophomore Nick Crescenzo (Hammonton, NJ/Hammonton) was five for five in the second game and had seven hits on the day. "When he puts the ball on the ground he gives us a great chance," Davis said.
"I can't remember the last time I had seven hits in a day," said Crescenzo, who had nine hits in the three-game series with Niagara last year. "I'm just glad we got two wins today. A day like this builds our confidence. With a young team we need this."
Crescenzo moved from right field to left during all three games of the Niagara series when defensive substitutions were made. "Right field is a little harder from me only because I played left all last year," Crescenzo said.
"He covers a lot of ground," Davis said of his speedy outfielder.
Wayman had five hits in the doubleheader. "Big day for Adam," Davis said. "I thought the second game he really swung the bat well."
Junior Sean Kuberiet (Branchburg/Somerville) pitched in relief in both games, a total of three scoreless innings, striking out four while allowing just one hit and no walks. "He's done a good job all year," Davis said. "He comes in and throws strikes and we feel good about bringing him in. He's confident and we're confident in bringing him in."
Rider and Niagara have now met 43 times since the series began in 1997 with Rider winning 30, including five of the last six.
The Broncs host Seton Hall Tuesday and George Mason Wednesday, both games beginning at 3:30pm on the Sonny Pittaro Field.

Seven freshman and three transfers have decided to continue their baseball careers at Georgetown College. Following a 31-24 season and third place finish in the Mid-South Conference West Division, second-year coach Brian Karlet and his staff began focusing on the future.
"We are excited about this early group of signees," Karlet said. "We will continue to work this summer to try and round out our recruiting class for the 2012 season.
"We have some top transfers coming mixed in with several solid freshmen that we will look to contribute immediately."
Four of the true rookie signees are Kentucky products - Tyler Arthur, Lexington Catholic; Brad Harp, Paul Laurence Dunbar; Jordan Cumpston, Franklin County; and Kellen Turner, North Laurel.
Arthur helped the Knights to a semifinal win in the 11th Region Tournament, which LC went on to win the next night and advanced on to the KHSAA State Tournament. For the season, he pitched 41 2/3 innings for a 5-2 record. He scattered 35 hits, giving up 18 runs (10 earned) with 11 walks and 48 strikeouts. Arthur has a 1.68 ERA heading into the state tournament.
Harp's Bulldogs were defeated by the Knights in the semifinals of the district tournament this season. For the past two seasons, Harp has been a solid contributor from the plate for PLD. His .419 batting average led the team his junior year. He finished his senior year batting .362 and leading the team in stolen bases and hit by pitch.
Cumpston pitched 52 2/3 innings for the Flyers this past season, striking out 53 with a 1.16 earned run average and five complete games.
Turner helped North Laurel to the 13th Region Tournament finals. He had a .367 batting average with a .410 slugging percentage and a .415 on base percentage.
The other three freshmen come from Indiana, Illinois and Florida.
Evan Hackney, a first baseman from Madison Consolidated in Madison, Ind., finished his senior year with a .403 batting average, .506 on base percentage and a .623 slugging percentage. He led the team in RBI and was voted third team Indiana All-State, making him an easy selection for the Indiana North vs. South All-Star Game. Prior to his junior season, Hackney was a Perfect Game selection in the Top 150 Underclassman.
Jordan Nekola is a right-handed pitcher from Mascoutah High School in Mascoutah, Ill. He was 3-3 this season with two saves and a 2.92 earned run average. He struck out 47 batters in 48 innings of work.
Nick Kociolek from Newsome High School in Tampa, Fla. is the final freshman of the early signing period. He is a 5-foot-9, 170-pound catcher.
Joining the rookies are three transfers Chris Duncan, Michael Syrett and EJ Murray.
Syrett has played the past two years Golden West College in Huntington Beach, Calif. His freshman year he hit .341 and picked up three saves with a 1.56 earned run average with 11 complete games. This past season, he had a .310 batting average and had nine starts with 66 2/3 innings with 32 strikeouts. He was a team captain as picked by his teammates.
Duncan played for Lander University for two seasons and then Tennessee Temple this past season before choosing to finish his career at Georgetown. He started 16 games in his freshman season for Lander, appearing in 32. His sophomore year he appeared in just 18 games. At Tennessee Temple, in his first five games he had six doubles and a triple. He went 4-of-4 against Berea and ended the season hitting .365.
Murray comes to the Tigers after playing for Western Kentucky University this past season. He is a graduate of Scott High, where he earned all-district, all-region and all-state honors. He finished his senior year with a .409 batting average with 13 doubles. He played in the 2008 Junior All-Star game and the 2009 Senior All-Star game. He was named the 10th Region Player of the Year in 2009 and was all-state honorable mention.
Syrett pitches during a game earlier this year, while Murray stands ready at shortstop during his high school days.

Jay-Z's Original 'Blueprint 3′ Release Date Moved to Sept. 8
It looks like Jay-Z, who said last week that he wasn't bothered by the premature leaking of his upcoming album, has changed his mind. Hov's latest opus, 'The Blueprint 3,' will now hit stores and online retailers on Sept. 8, three days earlier than it's original Sept. 11 release date, according to Rhapsody, Amazon and WEA's distribution Web site.
The reported news of the release date change may not affect Jay's fans considering at least five of the album's 15tracks can be heard on urban radio in major markets and the entire project has already been made available to the public on an array of digital downloading sites.
Jay-Z's reps have yet to comment on the recent change in release date.
In related news, Hov is still expected to rock New York's Madison Square Garden on Sept. 11 for his "Answer The Call" charity concert benefitting the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund. The concert will be televised live and commercial-free by FUSE.

/// Cross at the Crossroads
David Cross has a lot going on these days. His The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret , a London-based IFC series he co-wrote, entered its second season this month, and last November, Netflix confirmed that it is developing a new season of Arrested Development — the offbeat comedy Cross co-starred in that was cancelled by Fox after three seasons in 2006 but achieved a massive cult following via DVDs and the Web. Adweek spoke to Cross about a "phenomenal" smoked turkey sandwich and how he "intentionally misled" IFC. Adweek : Can you tell us anything new about Arrested Development ? I'm not being cute in any way when I say this, but I know as much as you know. I have the same source of information, which is, 90 percent of the time, the Internet. That's how I found out about the Netflix thing. But what do you think about the show being picked up by an online streaming service like Netflix? I would suspect that unlike Fox, they will give very few notes and just say, "Look, you do what we're hiring you to do. You're the best person to do that. We'll leave you alone, go shoot it and God bless every one of us." How do you think it could impact the show? I would imagine it would negate any inside jokes about working for Fox. There's also going to be absolutely no eye toward ad revenue or "we need to get social conservatives in Kansas to watch the show." Netflix won't care about that . . . Now ask a long question, because I'm going to take a bite of sandwich. What kind of sandwich? That was a very short question

In 2005, Ganesh Natarajan, CEO of Zensar, a Pune, India-based software company, and his senior management team are considering consolidating staff and resources at the firms. Natarajan proposes an additional, possible controversial business unit to the proposed new structure. The additional unit would explore new markets for the firm's promising innovation-Solution BluePrint (SBP). While he knew that some on his team would resist his proposal, he was eager to get the new technology into the field, and felt he had the right manager to lead the proposed group. Natarajan felt sure a group dedicated to SBP led by one of the firm's most respected technologists would help spur adoption.

By Faith Hung and Michael Gold
TAIPEI (Reuters) - A TransAsia Airways 6702.TW turboprop plane crashed on its second attempt at landing during a thunderstorm on an island off Taiwan on Wednesday, killing 47 people and setting buildings on fire, officials said.
The plane, a 70-seat ATR 72, crashed near the runway on the island of Penghu, west of the mainland, with 54 passengers and four crew on board, they said. No one was killed or hurt in the buildings.
Eleven injured people on the plane were taken to hospital, the government said.
The aircraft took off from Taiwan's southern city of Kaohsiung, headed for the island of Makong, but crash-landed in Huxi township of Penghu County, the main island of the chain also known as the Pescadores.
"It was thunderstorm conditions during the crash," said Hsi Wen-guang, a spokesman for the Penghu County Government Fire Bureau.

About 100 firefighters were sent to the scene, as well as 152 military personnel and 255 police, he added.
According to an official at the Civil Aeronautics Administration, air traffic control reported that the inclement weather at the time of the crash did not exceed international regulations for landing.

Like It or Not, World Government May Be Inevitable

To some, world government sounds unrealistic, to others tyrannical.
Fox commentator Glenn Beck cites the IPS "Inside-Outside" strategy for social change we describe in our annual report as sinister, bizarrely reminiscent of 1940s Czechoslovakia.
Beck can scapegoat us all he wants, but IPS and other independent organizations will continue to fight the good fight.
What will be better for the Roma to have a strong Roma party or to promote polices aimed to improve the situation of the Roma through the other, non-ethnically-based parties?

2014 is going to be a big year for B2C CMOs. We just published our "Predictions 2014: B2C CMOs Embrace The Post-Digital Landscape" report that predicts CMOs will: get creative with digital lifestyle media; get their hands dirty with customer experience; bring strategy to mobile; invest in marketing innovation; and reconsider their social networking priorities. Here are the five predictions:
Posted by Tim Sheedy on December 1, 2013
I regularly hear CIOs and IT suppliers discussing the "four pillars" of cloud, social, mobile, and big data as if they're an end in themselves, creating plenty of buzz around all four. But really, they're just a means to an end: Cloud, social, mobile, and big data are the tools we use to reach the ultimate goal of providing a great customer experience.
