Just what the "doctor" ordered!
By Clarke
from Seaford, DE
Perfect for spin class instructors to offer beginners a way to get accustomed to the saddle.Excellent padding, fits snugly onto saddle and stays put due to draw string.
comfortable padding
By Schumi
from VA
it is very comfortable, but make sure to tighten it up so it doesn't move much from side to side. it did make my rides more comfortable
Mercy for the rear
By raghauler
from south central Michigan
This pad made a tremendous difference in the comfort of my seat and was a good cheap alternative to buying a new seat and much less time consuming. I bought it for a new mountain bike that I use as my all around. Most of my riding is trail and dirt/gravel roads, 10 to 50 miles on average. I made one 25 mile ride before the pad and a few 30+ rides after. The comfort difference before and after the pad was VERY noticeable! I was concerned about fit when I bought it, as it looked too wide for my seat, but it cinched on fine and works great. At the price, If it lasts three seasons I'd be satisfied.
Great deal for the price.
By Fat boy going downhill!
from Central Texas
Okay, so I wouldn't like this if I got it for road use, but with this, I can climb out of bed, put on my shoes, jump on my trainer, and have my first cup of java while I do a low intensity cardio (train my body to burn fat) ride, in my sleep shorts. Morning routine five days a week: Coffee, shoes, spin. Only way that I am going to get that early morning ride in.
Very comfortable
By 40clover
from North Olmsted Ohio
Bought this for my girlfriend, she loved the extra padding on our 150 mile MS ride.

Lots of padding
By Darga

Lots of padding, but shifts from side to side and toward the back, when tightened down.
Good product for the buck
By Bob
from Alabama
This is a good cover for the price . It dosen't totally cure my problem but sure helps . The fit is great and it is of very good quality so I will give it 5 stars.
Good product

All The Crazy Things Future Contact Lenses Could Do
AR, a Pensieve for muggles and actual improved vision.
AR, a Pensieve for muggles and actual improved vision.
Suddenly the way they do it today doesn't seem so bad...
Google's smart contact lenses are going to become a real thing, thanks to a Swiss pharmaceutical company.
While YouTuber bkraz333 claims this contact lens with an embedded LED he made was an attempt to add a rudimentary VR display to his eye, I think I know the real inspiration behind it — Terminator cosplay.
There are a million reasons why being short-sighted is annoying. Here's one – try wearing glasses and putting a pencil behind your ear. It just falls clattering to the floor, doesn't it?

PHOENIX – Randy Wolf wasn't too upset that he gave up most of a four-run lead. He was facing a White Sox lineup with few recognizable names, after all.
"I don't have the overpowering stuff like some guys, so I work on feel," Wolf said after the Milwaukee Brewers lost to the Sox, 6-4, Saturday. "It is kind of hard trying to read their swings."
First-year manager Robin Ventura left most of his regulars back at the Sox's camp, which gave him a chance to get a longer look at some youngsters.
Tyler Flowers began the fifth inning for the Sox with a homer off Wolf, and the White Sox scored two more times in the inning.
Tyler Saladino had an RBI triple in a two-run seventh, and Saladino singled in a run in the ninth.
Right-handed reliever Brian Bruney pitched 2 1⁄3 hitless innings for the win.
"He has done real well. He has a good idea of what he wants to do, spots the ball well and throws strikes," Ventura said.
Chris Sale gave up eight hits and four runs – three earned – in 4 2⁄3 innings.
He pitched six scoreless innings in his previous start.
"He looked pretty good. It was good for him to continue to stretch out and get those innings," Ventura said.
Wolf gave up three runs – two earned in 5 2-3 innings for the Brewers. He struck out four.
Wolf is 3-0 in five starts this spring with a 3.26 ERA in throwing 191⁄3 innings.
He went 13-10 with a 3.69 ERA in 33 starts for the National League Central
division champions last season.
He is pleased the way things have gone thus far this spring.
"I've had a lot of innings so far," he said. "Historically, I have been pretty poor in the spring and the command hasn't always been there. I'm stretching it out now. I worry not so much about the pitch count, but getting up and down with the innings. My rhythm is way better."
White Sox rally from 4 down to defeat Brewers
PHOENIX – Randy Wolf wasn't too upset that he gave up most of a four-run lead. He was facing a White Sox lineup with few recognizable names, after all.

In doing research on California Props 7 and 10, we came across a great voter resource: Ballotpedia.org. Like Wikipedia, any user can contribute to the content. Ballotpedia describes itself as "a free, collaborative, online encyclopedia. [That] focuses on ballots, ballot measures, ballot access for initiatives and candidates, petition drives, the supporters and opponents of initiatives and, in general, all things ballot."
In this day and age of misleading advocacy commercials, Ballotpedia is a great place to get a quick and thorough rundown of both sides of a proposed measure.

It seems recently there has been a trend towards downsizing that is, quite frankly, alarming. What ever happened to the days of 5,000 square-foot McMansions packed to the rafters with little porcelain figurines in curio cabinets and formal dinnerware with place settings for 30?
It used to be that you could tell a person's wealth by the number of throw pillows on their 20-foot sectional sofas. Now it's all about more tastefully-sized homes with nicer amenities and far less cabinet space to display your tin cannister collection.
Come on, people. Let's put an end to this craziness and get back to the old ways. Buy a bunch of this stuff. Together, we will ensure that socially irresponsible consumerism lives on forever.

Cops and Cupcakes...Coming to a TV Show Near You?
Published February 9th, 2012

Ardmore, Tennessee
Cops and cupcakes are not two words you often hear together.
But these two men, who first met while working as police officers, say their mutual appreciation for baking could lead to a spot on a Food Network show.
They say they've been baking for friends and family for some time. But now they've cut an audition tape for the program "Cupcake Wars."
They should know if they have a chance to compete on the program by the end of the week.

About MeHello my name is Laura - I am here to refresh my portfolio and network with everyone in the business. I love high fashion work, yet really am really attracted to being a part of new-fangled or moving artistic work. I love the idea of finding or making something beautiful in a broken place. I am up for almost anything: fashion shows, paired or single shoots, but have been advised towards the direction of high fashion jobs seeing as I am close to 6'0''. That would be wonderful. However, I am still flexible for other fashion shoots: in interest, travel, communication and am easy to work with. I would love to talk about your ideas and hope to work with you soon. Thanks! :)

Like Everyone Else, The Paps Want A Piece Of Alex Rodriguez
Apparently, Alex Rodriguez really gets the ladies going. It's definitely good for his love life, but not necessarily good for his reputation. Remember when he used his own daughter to prove he isn't disgusting like Tiger Woods?
From the infamous Kate Hudson debacle to the now rumored relationship with Cameron Diaz, the paparazzi are working over time trying to catch the Yankee star with his new girl.
A-rod, photographed going to lunch on June 2nd, in the Upper West Side of New York City, is probably upping his image with a sweeter girl like Cameron Diaz, but she makes sure to keep the relationship under wraps when going out. She doesn't want to be considered sloppy seconds, just sayin'.
Cameron Diaz met Alex Rodriguez on East 61st Street June 3rd at Serafina. However, the 'innocent' Cameron left without her new guy, trying to prevent the paparazzi from getting a piece of the action. Instead, famous author Gay Talese appeared outside, telling the paps, "He's probably with some blonde in the bathroom."
Nice try Cam & A-Rod, you aren't fooling anyone!

First off, with this being the final edition of position analysis, here are links to all eight position group breakdowns:
Quarterbacks with Mike Bajakian
Running backs with Jahmile Addae
Wide Receivers with T.J. Weist
Offensive line with Don Mahoney
Defensive line with Ronald Stripling, Part I
Defensive line with Ronald Stripling, Part II
Defensive backs with Kerry Coombs
This is the eighth and final part in a series of looks at the 2010 UC football roster through the eyes of its position coaches. It concludes with a glimpse at the tight ends with tight end coach Mark Elder.
Elder is in his first year at UC but spent the last three seasons with Butch Jones coaching linebackers at
Starter: Ben Guidugli, RS Sr.
Backup: Adrien Robinson, RS Jr.
Reserves: Blake Annen, RS Fresh., Demetrius Richardson, Soph.
Overview: Ben Guidugli established himself as one of the premier tight ends in the Big East last year and landed as second team preseason All-American by The Sporting News this season. It would appear his value would only increase under Butch Jones, who has a history of running the ball more out of the spread than Brian Kelly.
Biggest Question: How will the versatility of Guidugli be utilized in Butch Jones' offense?
Elder: "He's so versatile it is an unbelievable asset to what we want to do with him. He is not just a tight end, he is a wide receiver, he is a tight end, he is an H-back for us. He can do all those things.
"We can stay in 11 personnel and we can be anywhere from him being stretched out as a receiver to him being a threat, not just a big body out there that you're running off with, but he is out there and is a receiving threat.
"Or he can be in an off-the-ball position, motioning around, pulling around, leading up on blocks, going out on routes from there.
"Or he can be a traditional tight end in the three-point stance, attached to that tackle and what's great is his versatility is a nightmare for a defense not knowing with him in the ballgame what they need to defend. They need to defend such a wide variety of things."
Tangibles: 6-1, 230 pounds, RS Sr.
Last year: 13 games, 12 starts, 27 receptions, 364 yards, 3 TDs
Elder on new ways to use Guidugli: "Some of the H-back stuff, we can use him even more. He was used quite a bit as a WR, we will still use him quite a bit as a WR, but more as an H-back than he probably has in the past. And a little bit more as true tight end more than he was in the past."
Elder on how Guidugli being used as an H-back could help the offense: "In H-back, there are (blocking schemes) not available if he's in a traditional tight end position. Him pulling around and leading up in on the inside linebacker, those things you can't do with him in a traditional tight end position. Not to mention bootlegs off things to get him the ball."
PDJ Projection: Tight ends in spread offenses are difficult to gauge as far as production goes. However, considering Guidugli's numerous skills, it seems a no-brainer Jones and offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian will find creative ways to get him the ball. Not to mention, his ability as a blocker on running plays and bubble screens will be a much larger asset this season. I expect his numbers to surpass those of 2009.
Tangibles: 6-5, 270 pounds, RS Jr.
Last year: 10 games, no starts, 10 receptions, 174 yards, 1 TD
Elder on how Robinson is different from Guidugli: "Adrien is a bigger body. We are doing a lot of the same things with him. He would traditionally be a true wide tight end and less as an H-back. We don't change the offense because he is in the game.
PDJ Projection: Robinson adds a bigger body on the line. While most of the snaps will go to Guidugli, Robinson would be a more than serviceable backup, particularly on running plays.
Tangibles: 6-5, 233 pounds, RS Fresh.
Last year: Redshirted
Elder's take: "He's been doing a nice job. He's still developing, but he is eager to learn. It's important to him."
PDJ Projection: Annen was the top tight end in the state his senior year, according to Ohiovarsity.com. His ability is there, but if he continues to progress he could see some action by the end of the season.
Tangibles: 6-2, 237 pounds, Soph.
Last year: Did not play
Elder's take: "He's playing more and more physical every day."

LATER THIS YEAR, airline companies might be tempted to introduce some new slogans: Surf the friendly skies. You've got air mail. Taking the Internet to new heights.
Plane manufacturers and airlines are scrambling to offer Net access to passengers. For example, Boeing, based in Irvine, Calif., is developing a system to let you plug your laptop into a traditional RJ-45 Ethernet port and take off at speeds of 1.5Mbps transmitting data and 5Mbps receiving data. Besides e-mail and Web access -- it'll also offer live television feeds and secure connections to your intranet.
The technology behind Connexion, as Boeing's service will be called, is two aerodynamic flat antennae that sit on top of an airplane -- Boeing craft as well as others. It beams data to and from a satellite, and is designed to automatically respond to directional changes and maintain its connection.
You'll probably start to see Boeing's service on commercial domestic routes by late 2001. It's already been tested on business and government jets, and will eventually be available on international flights. Other companies, including In-flight Network, based in New York City, and Inflightonline, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., are also planning to offer similar services.
"The system is being built to meet any safety concerns," says Ric Vandermeulen, head of marketing and director of strategic alliances for Connexion. "We will be operating in a band way above cockpit communications, at 14 gigahertz." So will that mean an end to the familiar bans on wireless electronics in flight? (See "Up in the Air," CIO, Dec. 1, 2000.) No, it appears the real fear there is that those devices can easily become projectiles under some conditions. Now that'd be something to send an in-flight e-mail home about.
This story, "You've Got Air Mail " was originally published by CIO.

Welcome to the Bloomingdale Special Taxing District!
Please note: The Office will be closed June 26 through July 7, and will reopen for regular business hours on Monday, July 10. We apologize for any inconvenience.Bloomingdale was developed in the 80's and over the years has become the thriving community we have today. When you enter this community, you are enveloped in clouds of greenery, both above and to your left and your right. Trees are numerous and their branches provide a canopy, almost shutting out the glaring sun and providing shelter from the tropical storms. No other community provides such a welcome retreat from the busy highways in so dramatic a way as Bloomingdale. Who fixes the irrigation system when it springs a leak? Who rebuilds and repaints walls when they are damaged? Who cleans up after a storm, or replants after a freeze? Who plants the poinsettias, and puts up holiday lights? Who installs new plants and flowers every year? Who lays new sod when the old dies? Who takes down all those signs that appear overnight, and picks up all the litter? Who replaces flags and lights and signs when they need repairs or renewal? Who nurses sick trees back to health and replaces when they reach the end of their natural lives? The answer to all these questions is; The Bloomingdale Special Taxing District. In 1985 the Bloomingale Special Taxing District was formed by an adopting ordnance. There was a need for a body of people to maintain the common areas. Today, this same organization exists and although the names of the Trustees have changed, they have the same aims and community spirit. The Trustees are elected officials who serve a term of 4 years. The Bloomingdale Taxing District is a government agency and a trustee is in a responsible position and there are some regulations that they have to abide by. But anyone who lives in Bloomingdale and is a registered voter can put themselves forward at election time, to serve on a seat that is due to be vacated. If a seat becomes vacant between elections, interested residents can present themselves at a board meeting and be voted onto the board by the other Trustees. This group of Trustees meet on a monthly basis, (more if required), and makes decisions about the common areas of Bloomingdale. That is from the edge of the street, not including the sidewalk, to the walls of neighborhoods. They also maintain all the major entranceways ensuring that the landscaping is fresh and the lighting is in good working order. More importantly, who pays for all this? The simple answer is you do. Within your property taxes there is a section regarding non-ad-valorem taxes. Next time you get your property trim notice check it out. TheBloomingdale Special Taxing District is part and parcel of that notice. Currently you pay $130.00 a year, no matter the value of your property. This money comes back to the Taxing district and they use it to keep Bloomingdale beautiful. With almost 5,000 properties in the Bloomingdale district this amounts to quite a bit of fiscal responsibility on the part of your Trustees and there are several checks and balances in place to ensure that your money is used wisely.

Lafayette, Louisiana
Located in south-central Louisiana, Lafayette is a welcoming city known for its Cajun culture. In fact, it was named "Best Food City in the USA" by Rand McNally and "Tastiest Town in the South" by Southern Living Magazine! What better way to become acquainted with this vibrant culture than through its famous cuisine? I asked for recommendations on local favorite places to eat in Lafayette, and my experience was wonderfully satisfying.
Dining in Downtown Lafayette
Wandering Lafayette's charming downtown proved to be a fantastic food experience. We went to Carpe Diem Gelato, where the owner, Silvia Bertolazzi, makes her gelato daily with flavors ranging from salted caramel, to almond fig, to Louisiana favorite Mayhaw berry. There was a piano on the front patio, and she explained that local musicians come during the week to play, write music and have gelato. What fun!
For dinner, a popular place to stop is Blue Dog Café, as much for the food as for the famous art. Local artist George Rodriguez displays more than 150 prints of his famous Blue Dog image, which line the urban-style brick walls of the restaurant. Blue Dog features tasty Cajun cuisine with a nouveau twist. Make sure you try one of their Blue Dog Martinis, which perfectly complement the Cajun spices. I enjoyed mine with a dish called "Treasures of the Bayou," consisting of fresh shrimp, crab and oysters with artichokes in an herbed white wine cream bisque – an absolute treat for seafood lovers! Blue Dog also serves a famous brunch on Sundays accompanied by live music.
Dining and Dancing at Randol's
If you want to see how locals of all ages enjoy good food and Cajun dancing on any given night in Lafayette, then head to Randol's! I immediately felt at home in this family-style restaurant with its relaxed atmosphere and colorful murals on the walls. Definitely try the crab fingers appetizer, handpicked right there on the property, and the blackened catfish étouffée. Both crabs and catfish are homegrown at Randol's, as are the fresh herbs flavoring the tasty and generous seafood dishes. As I finished my plate, I heard the first beats of the Zydeco band coming on, and already the first people were taking to the dance floor.
Po' Boys at Old Tyme Grocery
In Louisiana, one of your ultimate food goals should be to find the best local po' boy, a sandwich usually filled with fried seafood or meat and served on a crusty baguette. In Lafayette, the most popular po' boys can be found at Old Tyme Grocery. They're so popular that you might encounter a line of hungry patrons waiting for a taste of the famous shrimp po' boy. Make sure you bring cash, as Old Tyme Grocery doesn't take credit or debit cards. In the summer, enjoy a snowball (shaved ice with flavored syrup) at Murph's, right behind the grocery.
If you want a foodie tour of Louisiana, combined with the charm of a smaller city, Lafayette should definitely be on your itinerary!

Cuisine: Modern Australian
Location: Perth CBD, lane-ways off Murray Street
I have a more recent food review of The Secret Garden here.
A new team member joined our department which meant we must have a welcoming lunch. After a bit of look around at a few places, The Secret Garden was chosen. It was a cold horrible winters day but, fortunately for us, the rain held off. I didn't know all these winding hidden lane-ways existed where The Secret Garden is located off Murray Street. There's in fact a number of eateries, including a back entrance to the Country Road Cafe which I have visited a few times. As is my custom, I always like to have a look at the menu before we go to the restaurant to plan how I will approach my meal. I decided on the Morrocan beef burger with caramelised onion, swiss cheese, tomato relish, lettuce and aioli, served with hand-cut chips.
After a short wait, out come a nice large and chunky meaty burger with slightly chunky chips with the potato skins still on. The burger had a lovely toasted and tasty bun with the caramelised red onion which was lovely, the tasty flavoured burger and melted cheese. I really enjoyed the burger which was filling. The chips were tasty too but could have done with a bit more salt which would have made all the difference. The potato skins still left on gave an extra dimension and texture which contributed to the taste.
Food Review Summary
Verdict: One can dine outside or dine in the nice homely setting. The place has a nice feel to it and my burger and chips were delicious, leaving me more than satisfied.
Price: Reasonable
Taste: Delicious
Value: Excellent
Recommendation: Recommend

After an LA Dodgers game, Matt Kemp decided to make a kid's day. The kid is struggling with cancer and was handed not only a signed baseball, but the jersey and shoes that Kemp was wearing. It's just so cool to know that there are pro athletes that still have a heart and are good people. Well done, sir.

Coaches often talk about "defending the knowns". By that they typically mean preparing for guys like Rob Pannell, JoJo Marasco, Wesley Berg and Jordan Wolf. Everyone knows those guys are more than likely going to get a few points in a game. Obviously, you don't want Pannell putting up eight points, or Berg scoring eight goals, but if you can limit those guys below (or even at) their season averages, most coaches would consider that a victory.
What you can't prepare for as easily is the unknowns. And in close playoff games, those guys can make the difference, the ones who score and have people in the stadium immediately looking at their roster cards.
In last year's NCAA Final, Loyola got big first-half goals from Pat Byrnes and Phil Dobson, who combined for 18 goals on the season. In 2011, Mark Cockerton (13 goals on the year) exploded for three goals and an assist in Virginia's Semifinal win over Denver. Steve Schoeffel (19 goals on the year) was the breakout star for Duke in the 2010 Final versus Notre Dame with two goals, after Will McKee (12 goals) put up two in the semifinal versus Virginia.
So who's going to be this year's Final Four hero? Each of the four remaining teams ranked in the Top 10 in adjusted offensive efficiency after the first round: No. 1 Denver, No. 5 Cornell, No. 6 Duke and No. 9 Syracuse. So we're dealing with teams that play smart and take advantage of their possessions. Depth is more important on Monday than Saturday, but even with the weather forecast saying 64 Saturday and 73 Monday, having a lot of guys who can score is critical to Final Four success. Here's a look at each offense's depth beyond the stars.
The Pioneers' matchup Saturday at 5 p.m., is pretty similar. Syracuse has been lauded for its offensive unselfishness all season, averaging just under a goal less (11.72 at No. 13 in the country to Denver's 12.67 at No. 5 nationally) per game but with 10 players in double-digits.
SU is probably the most balanced of the Final Four teams, with Marasco's team-leading 58 points accounting for 8.7% of their offensive output. Dylan Donahue (23G, 11A) has stepped up so far in the playoffs with a hat trick against Bryant and the game-winner with 13 seconds left and two assists vs. Yale. Other under-the-radar scorers for SU so far in the postseason include Billy Ward (10, 5), Ryan Barber (5, 4) and Matt Walters (8, 8) with goals in the first round. Second-line middie Hakeem Lecky (8G) caught fire late in the season (six goals in four games vs. Georgetown, Notre Dame twice and Villanova), but he's 0-2 shooting in the postseason so far.
Yale shut this diverse offense down for more than 43 minutes in the NCAA Quarterfinals, but in the end it was Marasco that created two goals in the final 2:20 and Rice with a great individual effort with 3:04 left that gave Syracuse the comeback win. The Orange run four attackmen and even five some runs to a third midfield.
"I think we started off the year and a lot of people didn't expect much from Syracuse," coach John Desko said. "We decided early on that if we were going to have success with our offense we were going to have to share the ball and not rely on one person. Fortunately our offense has got a lot of motion. I credit the players for their understanding of it. It's pretty good lacrosse IQ. …We share the ball well, we execute well, we move pretty well off the ball, and I think that's where we've found success with our offense.
"I think it's the movement and not relying on one person that makes you difficult to match up with. A lot of people obviously with JoJo Marasco want to get their best defender there. …I don't know if we're a team where you can run out and say you're always going to put the pole on this one person. …If you look at some previous games, we've had some guys going down the stretch here who have stepped up for us."
Duke has 11 double-digit point-scorers (and 25 total point-scorers) for an offense that averages 13.84 points per game (third in the country). The Devils come off two straight 12-11 wins and have gotten a ton of production out of their second midfield of senior Josh Offit (25, 16), and freshmen Myles Jones (15, 5) and Deemer Class (12, 8): Class scored versus Notre Dame and the unit put up three goals and two assists against Loyola. With the attention that Offit draws on that second line, and the fact that Jones started the year on the first line, Duke clearly has the strongest second midfield of the four remaining.
The top line of David Lawson (32, 15), Jake Tripucka (18, 22) and converted attackman Christian Walsh (14, 14) has nine goals and four assists in the postseason.
The Devils have also gotten offense out of Will Haus (7, 5), one of the NCAA's best d-middies.
"When you have the ball, our first rule is to beat your man and score a goal, but when teams do slide, you've got to play with your head up," coach John Danowski said. "It's a little bit of buying in, a little bit of coaching and a little bit of skills. …When they have some success the guys don't mind sharing the ball."
Denver has had two lesser-known players jump out in their two 2013 NCAA Tournament games, a good sign for a team that has leaned heavily on its first midfield. Second-line middie Sean Cannizzaro (five total goals on the year) put up two goals against Albany in Denver's 19-14 first-round win, and attackman/middie Colin Scott (10 goals on the year) scored another two last Sunday in the 12-11 win over North Carolina.
And even on Sunday, Eric Adamson (25G, 13A) scored the game-tying goal with 1:31 left after not scoring all game, and then took the shot to win it that was saved and went right to Eric Law for the game-winner with 13 seconds left.
Denver's offense has eight players in double-digits on the season, so the Pioneers have depth. They've gotten points from seven (Albany) and eight (UNC) players in their first two playoff games. With face-off man Chase Carraro getting some offensive runs and attackman/middie Scott, Denver plays its top eight a lot.
"Matt Brown, my young offensive assistant coach, he just does an amazing job," DU coach Bill Tierney said. "We spend a lot of time shooting, but we also spend a lot of time with our guys with decision making. …We work hard on that. We talk about playing the game fast, but playing it smart as well."
Cornell is probably the most top-heavy team left, when you consider that Tewaaraton Trophy finalist Rob Pannell (42, 53) and Steve Mock (59, 9) account for 43% of their offense. Still, nine players are in double-digits for an offense that averages 14.59 goals per game, second in the NCAA.
The Big Red haven't run their second midfield — sophomore John Hogan (10, 1), freshman John Edmunds (8, 3) and sophomore Chris Cook (4, 2) — nearly as much as at least Duke and Syracuse. And while Denver may rotate in some guys and mix and match, Cornell definitely relies on its top six more than any other team in the postseason.
That said, they're averaging nearly 16 goals a game over their last four.
"We've leanred a lot from the losses we took during the season," said coach Ben DeLuca. "I think we're playing our best lacrosse right now. W can still play better, but we're excited about where we are."

Chords in fourths - Quartal harmony - So what chord
- By jazz-guitar-licks
- On 07/01/2017
- Comments (0)
To enrich and modernize the harmonization of a piece it is common to use fourth chords. They can replace some original chords to bring more melodic freedom into improvisation and more tension in harmony. Since the late 1950s, harmony in fourths has played a very important role in the development of modern jazz. Musicians and composers have used a lot the quartal harmony. Among them, the great American pianist McCoy Tyner, who is a master in the art of playing quartal chords. Mike Stern, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Bill Evans and Kurt Rosewinkel have also used this technique. In this lesson we will see how to build chords in fourths, how to harmonize the major scale with and how to use them in comping.

The Associated Press
Springfield News-Leader, March 2
Time for real loan reform:
A proposed overhaul of Missouri's payday loan regulations in the General Assembly is a poorly disguised effort to benefit a rich and powerful industry that preys on the poor and powerless.
The legislation, which passed easily out of the Senate last month on its way to the House, would prohibit a borrower from renewing a short-term payday loan. Current law allows such a loan to be renewed up to six times.
But, in a nice turn for the payday lenders, it removes any ceiling on interest charged. Its sponsor, Sen. Mike Cunningham, R-Rogersville, says the interest cap is unnecessary if loans cannot be rolled over.
It all sounds logical — until you add up the realities. Current law caps interest and fees at 75 percent of the loan, which is also limited to $500 and can run only 14-31 days. That translates into an annual interest rate of 1,950 percent for a 14-day loan. Despite already being able to charge interest rates that would make Shylock blush, under Senate Bill 694, the sky's the limit.
Outlawing rollovers does not really stop borrowers from extending a loan over and over again, eventually owing thousands of times the original amount. With lenders willing to simply make a second loan immediately after paying off the first one (or, based on proudly displayed signs throughout Springfield, another lender happily doing that for a borrower), the new law would effectively remove the existing six rollover limit.
While the bill is presented as a way to reform the current payday loan laws and protect the consumer, it does neither. Instead, it gives this predatory industry what it wants — free rein to rake in outrageous profits.
Consider this: In 2012, there were 934 licensed payday loan lenders in Missouri, with a cap that is among the highest in the country. They made 2.34 million loans (in a state with about 6 million people), with an average value of $306 and an average interest rate of 455 percent. This industry has every reason to protect its multibillion-dollar income.
The payday loan industry has been uncharacteristically quiet about this effort at "reform." But it has not ignored all such efforts. In fact, in 2012 the industry spent $2 million to fight a successful grass-roots petition drive that would have put true reform on the ballot. Missourians for Responsible Lending collected more than 350,000 signatures for a ballot referendum that would have asked voters to put a 36 percent annual interest rate on the loans. That is the same cap the Military Lending Act imposes on payday, auto, tax-refund and other short-term loans made to members of the armed forces.
The industry — using such misleading names as Missourians for Equal Credit and Stand Up Missouri — cried foul, claiming such a law would destroy their lending business and prevent people who genuinely need a small, short-term loan from receiving one.
With billions in profits on the line, they were ready to spend what it took to stop an effort that was gaining widespread support among voters throughout the state. They succeeded by dragging the petitions through court until the $600,000 raised by Missourians for Responsible Lending was spent and time had run out.
MRL is ready to try again. The group's initiative petition has been approved, and signatures will soon be collected.
Expect those friendly loan sharks to once again spend whatever it takes to stop them. It will likely be more than it took to get a friendly bill passed in the Senate that would actually make real reform more difficult.
The House, however, can stop this. Our representatives should refuse to be part of this subterfuge.
Instead, the legislature should consider outlawing or strictly regulating payday loans as 11 other states have done.
Jefferson City News Tribune, March 2
Unnecessary tampering with term limits:
Missouri lawmakers again are tampering with term limits.
If Sir Isaac Newton had been a political scientist instead of a physicist, his first law may have been a lawmaker in office tends to stay in office until removed by an outside force.
The outside force can be voters, in an election, or term limits.
In Missouri, a constitutional amendment was approved by voters in 1992 to limit total service in the House to eight years and total service in the Senate to eight years, with total legislative service limited to 16 years. Service prior to the amendment's effective date was not included in the calculations.
Prior to the amendment, dating to Missouri's admission into the Union in 1821, lawmakers were not subject to term limits.
We did not support the imposition of term limits for lawmakers. Although we acknowledge the advantage of incumbents, we favor the power of voters to end legislative terms at regular election cycles.
We do, however, support the will of the voters, who amended the constitution and adopted term limits.
Thus far, including during this session, we have heard no new arguments that weren't advanced by term limit opponents in 1992.
Those arguments include: lawmakers face a steep learning curve before they become effective; limits could abruptly terminate efforts on behalf of constituents; and limits will deplete institutional memory and knowledge in the Legislature.
The institutional memory argument is the strongest, but it has not proved particularly problematic.
Among new proposals this session are bills to: expand the overall limit to 24 years; remove the designated limits in each chamber; alter the length of terms; and revise the offices decided in an election cycle.
None of these proposals is necessary.
No evidence suggests circumstances or the intent of voters have changed since 1992.
Lawmakers' self-absorption with self-serving issues is among the reasons voters adopted term limits in the first place.
St. Joseph News-Press, March 1
Don't mess with success:
Few extensions of government garner great respect these days, much less a resounding endorsement. Not so with our nationally recognized Missouri Department of Conservation.
The agency responsible for managing our forest, fish and wildlife resources consistently earns high marks from the state's residents — including a 72 percent approval rating of good or excellent in a 2009 Gallup poll.
And yet, the current session of the General Assembly is rife with legislation that would be harmful to the appointed governing board, the Missouri Conservation Commission, and the work it does in partnership with the department's professional staff.
The proposals include one that would double the size of the commission to eight members and require a representative from each of the agency's eight regions.
This idea is advanced by a lawmaker concerned northeast Missouri is slighted by not having a representative on the four-member commission. But we have heard nothing to suggest this deficit has impaired the promotion of conservation and sporting activities in the northeast region.
Further, requiring representatives by region runs the risk of creating partisan divides where none exist now. The existing commission — the one that has served the state so well — is constituted as one that serves statewide interests.
Two other proposals would make regulations set by all state agencies, including the commission, subject to review, amendment and rejection by legislators. It's hard to say what's appropriate for other agencies, but this is a terrible idea for an agency such as Conservation.
"I don't see how the Department of Conservation could operate efficiently," well-known conservationist Anita Gorman of Kansas City recently told The Kansas City Star.
Ms. Gorman, who served 12 years as an appointed commissioner, notes what true sports enthusiasts understand all too well: fish and game regulations can change yearly, and yet each goes through a significant and time-consuming review process.
Requiring legislative oversight "could delay things greatly," Ms. Gorman says, which is problematic when the next sporting season is just ahead.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Feb. 27
Coverage for new forms of cancer treatment:
Health insurance providers in Missouri have been ducking their obligations to pay for new forms of cancer treatment, those that involve pills and liquid ingestion instead of intravenous drugs. Now there's an actuarial study, doctor and hospital support and plenty of testimony from patients that should convince the Missouri Legislature to require that providers must cover oral cancer treatments.
If that's not enough, how about the fact that 27 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws to ensure that patients have access to oral anticancer therapies?
Oh, best of all for this Legislature, it has nothing to do with Obamacare.
The main argument from insurance providers is that oral chemotherapy coverage will cause premiums to rise. They've also called it a coverage "mandate," like that's a bad thing. The legislation's chief backer in Missouri, Rep. Sheila Solon, R-Blue Springs, won't hear that.
"Every time they would say the word 'mandate,' the word 'parity' would come out of my mouth," Ms. Solon said. "It is not a mandate. This legislation would not order coverage for anything that insurers are not already covering. It just provides coverage for it in a pill rather than through a needle."
As to the argument about higher premiums, there is significant evidence debunking the industry's cost estimates. In 25 of the 27 states that provide coverage, there was no impact on the insurers' cost, said Debbie Kersting, executive director of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society-Gateway Chapter. She added that in the two states where premiums rose — Washington and Connecticut — they went up an average of 16 cents a month per premium.
At the outside, Missouri health insurance premiums would rise an average of 57 cents a month if a law were enacted to require equal coverage for oral chemotherapy, according to an actuarial study by Lewis and Ellis Inc. of Overland Park, Kan.
One need only look back at the effort to have autism treatment be included in insurance coverage to be reminded of how much the industry inflates its estimates of the financial impact of new kinds of coverage. When bills were moving through the Legislature to try to get coverage for autism treatment, the insurance industry claimed the requirement would boost premiums up to 3 percent.
The legislation was approved in 2010, and 3,000 Missourians now have health insurance that covers treatment for their autism. The cost of that treatment is nowhere near what the industry had predicted. A new study by the Missouri Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions & Professional Registration shows that the impact on overall claims cost last year was 0.2 percent.
Oral cancer drugs are not a new treatment, but the same treatment that is currently covered but in a different form. The reason for the industry whining is a reimbursement system that covers IV chemotherapy as a medical benefit but oral chemotherapy as a pharmaceutical benefit. That sort of coverage is far less generous, with some plans capping drug benefits at $5,000 annually.
Cancer pills can be expensive, with annual price tags that can exceed $75,000. Most cancer patients can't afford that so, without insurance coverage for the treatment, they resort to IV chemotherapy.
That treatment, which is covered by Medicare and private insurance, has some costs that exceed the treatment itself, such as implanting a port to convey the drugs, and the loss of jobs as people have to take off time from work to spend hours hooked to an infusion machine.
A bill recently approved by the Missouri Senate bars health insurers from requiring higher co-pays and deductibles for oral chemotherapy than for IV treatments and caps the patient out-of-pocket cost at $75 per prescription.
It also would prohibit insurers from increasing the cost to patients of IV chemotherapy so that it would be equal to the higher cost of oral chemotherapy.
Ms. Solon said this was the first time in three years that representatives of the insurance industry have not testified against such legislation. She takes that as the industry's tacit acknowledgement that change is coming and that they're going to try to manage what form that takes, rather than continue to resist.
David Smith, a lobbyist for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield of Missouri, did not testify against the bill but said the legislation could be changed to lower the cost to insurers and noted that a Kansas law doesn't have the prohibition on raising the cost of IV chemotherapy.
Oral cancer treatment is for many cases the new best-practice for treating the disease, say supporters of the legislation. Ms. Kersting said 35 percent of all new cancer treatments are being released in pill form only.
Medical studies show the pills target cancerous cells more effectively than broader intravenous chemotherapy and have fewer side effects, including typical problems like fatigue, nausea and hair loss.
Cancer is a common enemy. It is neither Republican nor Democrat. Making it easier for patients to stay home while taking medicine that is more targeted for their needs just makes sense. It's time for lawmakers to listen to the people.

ATLANTA Mike Minor had a simple explanation why the Colorado Rockies couldnt touch his pitches. I threw a lot of crap in there early, he said. I dont think they knew what was coming. If confusion was his best ally, he should employ it more often. Minor struggled with his control, as has often been the case this year, but he didnt allow a hit until the seventh inning on Wednesday night, leading the Braves to 1-0 victory over the Rockies. It was not only one of the top performances of his short career, it was another step in Minors yearlong maturation process. It showed how far hes progressed since his rough stretches earlier this season, when hits and walks would be magnified by more mistakes. Hes turned the page. Hes become a completely different pitcher, closer Craig Kimbrel said. Hes attacking guys, hes going right at them. He doesnt seem as timid out there on the mound. It seems like hes more in control when hes out there, and youve seen it with his outings. Hes really become a better pitcher. Minor slowly and gradually has become one of the Braves most reliable starters. Kris Medlen has made a sudden impact on the rotation, but Minors has been a steady climb since since May, when a string of terrible outings left him battling Randall Delgado for a spot in the rotation and on the team. A trip to Triple-A Gwinnett seemed to be in his future. But Minor has been remarkably consistent and efficient the past two months, allowing 20 earned runs in his past 69.2 innings for a 2.58 ERA since July 1. He hasnt given up more than four earned runs in a start since May 16, and he posted three starts in the past two months where he allowed a combined three runs in 21 innings. Thats lowered his seasons ERA from a high of 7.09 in May to its current 4.58. Minor wasnt dominant against the Rockies, walking four, but a ball didnt fall for a hit until Jordan Pacheco led off the seventh with a single. I didnt even feel like I was throwing that great, Minor said. Then I looked back. I actually didnt know until the fifth. I looked back and saw no hits. Because of a couple of walks, a couple of hard hits, I didnt really feel like I was throwing that great. He said he was wildly effective throughout, walking Carlos Gonzalez and Pacheco with two outs in the first, but they were left stranded. Minor also walked Dexter Fowler in the sixth and Andrew Brown in the seventh, but they also didnt hurt. The four walks were the most by Minor in a game since June 30. Its an area where hes shown drastic improvement. After walking 38 batters in his first 85.2 innings this season, hes allowed only 13 in his past 69.2. Not coincidentally, thats when his ERA started to plummet. Kind of just dodged them, I guess, Minor said. To me it wasnt one of my best starts, but like you said, on paper it looks good. I just got lucky enough. They had a couple of guys on and I got out of it again. My walks didnt hurt me this time. I didnt give up a home run. Thats always good. I just kind of dodged them. Minor had shown flashes of brilliance before, including a five-hit, eight-strikeout victory over Toronto on June 20, 2011, going 5-0 in a seven-start stretch last year and even throwing consecutive strong starts this past April. But the past two months have shown that Minor could be finally securing his spot in the Braves rotation for the next few years. His ERA during that time is a better indicator of his success than his 4-4 record (8-10 overall in 2012) because his teammates have scored few runs to support his pitching. But on Wednesday, one was enough. You can always say youve learned everything and youve learned a lot this year and next year is going to be better, Minor said. Every year is experience. Guys go through ups and downs, and its the way you handle it and the way you bounce back.

Reading Into the Numbers
istockphoto, nikada
What's behind the 25-percent decline from 2008's record-high total Design Award entries?
The annual TSA Design Awards program provides an intriguing snapshot of the state of architectural design in Texas. While nowhere near comprehensive in depicting a multifaceted profession, each year's collection of winners nonetheless offers a survey of contemporary trends and the occasional flash of creative brilliance. Beyond its beauty-contest aspects, the program may also reveal insights into current economic conditions through the level of participation. This year's total number of entries was 200, which represents a 25-percent drop from the record high of 267 submittals in 2008. On the surface, the numbers seem to illustrate the obvious—the tightening grip of the worldwide financial crisis that has come to be called the Great Recession. We know all too well how the downturn brought an abrupt end to an extraordinary period of growth enjoyed by all Americans. Architects especially benefited from the good times, having spent a decade fulfilling the needs and expanded desires of their clients, who were empowered by a highly charged economic engine. Then came the cataclysmic events of 2007 and 2008. The recession, however, barely made a dent in the 2009 Design Awards, with 261 projects submitted. More than anything, that slight dip may have been attributed to the entry deadline, which was a month earlier than the year before. Yet, that total was the second-highest in TSA's history. Of course, many factors can influence whether a firm will participate in the Design Awards program. (For the record, architects registered in Texas may submit any number of projects they designed that were built anywhere in the world and completed within the previous five years. Projects entered in this year's program must have been completed no later than Jan. 1, 2005.) For firms struggling to survive in a shrinking economy, the considerable expense of hiring a photographer may prohibit participation in competitions. Particularly onerous for small shops, professional photography is all but a necessity for even a remarkably well-designed project to catch the collective eye of a jury. In addition is the cost of staff time to put together the slide show and edit the presentation for maximum impact, as well as the entry fee. During a downturn such as this, sole practitioners and young firms may not have the luxury and therefore decline the invitation to compete. Another factor is the perception that juries only select small projects for awards. While not wholly accurate, recent history proves that intimately

scaled buildings (especially houses) win more often than larger ones (due in part to the programmatic complexity of big institutional projects such as public schools and hospitals). Perhaps the most crucial factor is the contracting job market. According to the State Comptroller, the unemployment rate in Texas rose from 5.7 percent in November 2008 to 8.2 percent this July. Comparable figures for the nation were 6.7 percent and 9.5 percent, respectively. Earlier this year, a more focused look by the U.S. Labor Department reported a 9.3 percent drop in the number of technical and nontechnical staff employed in the nation's architecture and engineering services industry in 2009 from the previous year. "Business conditions at design firms remain quite volatile," said AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker, PhD, Hon. AIA, in a statement that accompanied the mid-August release of the Institute's Architecture Billings Index. While acknowledging a slight uptick in construction spending from July, Baker conceded that "this state of the industry is likely to persist for awhile as we continue to receive a mixed bag of feedback on the condition of the design market from improving to flat to being paralyzed by uncertainty." There is a glimmer of hope for 2011, with state officials reporting in August that sales tax revenues had risen over the previous four months. That harbinger of a rebounding economy may temper calls for austerity efforts by state lawmakers who will gather in January to consider measures to offset an impending budget shortfall estimated between $11 and $17 billion. As difficult as it is to look beyond the immediate pressures caused by the current downturn, the cyclical nature of economics holds the promise of eventual improvement. In Texas, we have been relatively fortunate, and the state's booming population (estimated to grow 2.5 times by 2030) foreshadows a steady stream of work for the architecture profession. In fact, a recent study by the Brookings Institution based on 2004 data indicated that new construction in Texas between the years 2000 and 2030 is projected to be about $3.3 trillion. Such hopeful news bodes well for a profession that is inspired by progress and society's demand for innovation. S t e p h e n

A special report from A.M. Best highlights the "challenging conditions" facing Bermuda's insurance and reinsurance market, despite what Best described as "resilient financial results despite challenging conditions that include heavy catastrophe losses."
As of Sept. 30, 2011 the Bermuda/insurance market was posting an underwriting loss, and "appears poised for meager bottom-line profit in 2011," said Best. "However, the market has weathered pressure on its capital base from devastating 2011 catastrophe losses, a prolonged soft market and low investment returns, positioning companies for a potentially difficult yet promising renewal season."
Best singled out the following "key findings" in its report: — Elevated global catastrophe activity and increasingly conservative cat models have rewritten the risk equation, especially for U.S. primary companies; meanwhile, reinsurers are rethinking pricing and capital requirements amid growing demand for capacity.
— Catastrophe pricing has improved in certain loss-hit regions, but some companies are reducing exposures rather than pursuing greater market share.
— Casualty classes appear to have hit bottom as deteriorating investment yields hinder economic profitability on longer tail classes of business.
— Both primary and reinsurance companies have been harvesting favorable loss-reserve development from casualty business written in the early 2000s, but this flow of earnings is running dry, and a market turn for casualty business seems to be nearing.
— The market's annualized return on equity (ROE) for the first nine months of 2011 was -0.8 percent, but adding back 6.7 points of favorable loss-reserve development drives the accident-year combined ratio to 114.5 and puts the ROE well under water.
While Best's report describes the state of the market, there may be deeper concerns on the horizon for Bermuda. In a recent interview with the IJ Dermot O'Donohoe, Chief Executive of Torus International, gave his views on the current condition of the Bermuda market, and where it might be heading.
Although Torus – the holding company – is domiciled in Bermuda, its operating companies are located mainly in Europe and the U.S. It more or less typifies a number of companies that are located on the island. In that regard O'Donohoe said "we are reviewing that position to see whether in the longer term if we want to maintain that status"
Torus decision will follow on the heels of a number of re/insurance companies that have either moved their corporate domiciles, or shifted a large amount of their operations from Bermuda – mainly to continental Europe, Ireland, the U.S. and the UK.
O'Donohoe singled out "market conditions" as the principle reason for the shift, indicating that "a lot of the Bermuda companies set up in Bermuda because they felt it was a favorable regulatory regime." Bermuda's regulators largely welcomed new companies. They were for the most part "settled in Bermuda to deal with a particular market situation that tended to be focused on providing capacity in an area where there was market demand," he said.
"So, with a small number of people and a large amount of capital, you could effectively set up an operation – typically a reinsurance operation, or a small insurance operation – and you could sit in Bermuda and write the business."
He explained that "what's happened now, both with the issue of 'FET' [foreign equalization tax] from U.S. insurance, who want to buy policies from Bermuda carriers, and, I suppose, the whole uncertainty over the tax future of Bermuda, relative to U.S. carriers; plus the changing market conditions" have raised question about a Bermuda presence.
"Now you have London and the other major insurance centers; there's ample capacity for all the clients, so it's [Bermuda] less attractive for all the product lines; plus it's a pretty expensive place to have an operation and to maintain people. So, in fact there's less demand for a lot of the core products that Bermuda offers, other than certain special lines, where maintaining a small team in a tax efficient location still makes sense."
Bermuda has in effect been hit by the ongoing trends towards a worldwide economy. "More and more the companies have also become part of global operations, O'Donohoe said. "In other words their own success has spawned their expansion elsewhere, and, as a result the original Bermuda base becomes an increasingly smaller part of their overall operations.
"Even in our own case, we don't write excess casualty there any more, we've sort of exited that, and, following so many 'cats' this year, we've exited catastrophe reinsurance out of Bermuda, and for the most part opened a 'play' with Montpelier [Re]," and otherwise "exited catastrophe reinsurance full stop."
Torus did take on some catastrophe coverages when it bought Broadgate's Lloyd's syndicate, But O'Donohoe said they were "much smaller" than the ones Torus had operated. It does still write some reinsurance out of Bermuda, "mainly treaty, but much smaller. Our Bermuda presence is pretty modest now. With all the other areas of operation we have in London, Zurich, Amsterdam, Paris, Cologne in Europe, and in New Jersey, Chicago, Houston and Atlanta, we're in the markets now. We're not as dependent upon wholesale distribution to bring your business to you at a single location."
O'Donohoe's description of Torus' changes relative to Bermuda over the last three years [it was founded in 2008] may well be part of a larger trend, which would diminish the island's role in the global re/insurance industry's operations. But, Bermuda has been resilient in the past, and it may well find ways to compensate for its changing position.

In this all-but-forgotten unsolved case from 1972, the body of a teenage girl was discovered atop a cliff, high above an abandoned quarry in the town of Springfield. The corpse was found thanks to a dog that brought home a badly decomposed human forearm to its master. The deceased would later be identified as Jeannette DePalma, a local teenager who had been missing for six weeks. Before long, witchcraft, satanism and police conspiracies would all become suspects in the bizarre case. Continue reading
