Now She Knows
Morgantown singer/songwriter Ashley McMillen makes a name for herself in the music industry.
To the untrained ear, Ashley McMillen's recently released EP, Now I Know, might sound like country. In fact, it might sound "very country." But play the tracks again, and you'll hear the layers—influences from gospel and blues and hymns to '80s pop. "A lot of folks have said I'm similar to Emmylou Harris, which is unbelievable. I take that as a huge compliment," says the Morgantown native. With all the usual suspects—vocals, guitar, bass—Ashley and her band round out their sound with full drums, electric guitar, and a pedal steel guitar, not to mention the occasional violin, piano, organ, and harmonica. "We've got a great sound, and you can hear that on the EP," she says.
Though her recent musical success has seemed to be fast and furious, Ashley's musical journey began as a child. She grew up singing along to Disney soundtracks and in church with her grandparents, though she admits she was always really nervous to sing in front of a crowd. Then she found her mom's old Epiphone guitar in a closet—she'd had no idea her mom ever played—and learned how to play from friends and online tutorials. By the time she reached Morgantown High School, Ashley was playing classical violin for the school orchestra and making the rounds in the local band circuit. "The first time I ever sang backup was with a friend's band for a battle of the bands competition, and we sang 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia.'"
Ashley finished three years at WVU on the pre-med track before following love to New Jersey. Her years there turned out to be some of the most formative of her life. She completed her bachelor's degree in psychology and half of a master's degree in social work and found herself in an emotionally abusive marriage. "The only way I could express myself, the only way I could stay sane, was to sit by myself and write songs. And that's what I did. Every day," she says. Thirty songs later—lyrics, melody, and all—she finally took her mom's advice. "The song 'Momma' is essentially poking fun at the fact that my mother told me to get out of this relationship for eight years and I didn't. I sort of just have to laugh about it now because—what else are you going to do?"
The singer/songwriter headed to Charlottesville, Virginia, for a fresh start—she had family there and plans to complete her master's at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). She recalls, "When I got to Charlottesville, that's when I thought, 'Well, let me play this stuff live. Nobody here knows me, nobody knows anything about what I have been through.'" Her musical career took off before she ever made it to VCU. "In New Jersey, during that relationship, I really did sort of think it was over—that my dreams of music were gone," Ashley says. But she decided she wasn't going to let anyone steal her dreams from her. "I thought, 'I'm going to do everything I ever wanted for myself.' And I did. And it worked."
"Momma" was the first song she ever played live in Charlottesville. "People loved it, so I just kept going back, and success just sort of came out of nowhere," she says. She's been in Charlottesville just over a year now, and that year has been spent picking up the best musicians in town to join her band, playing music festivals and gigs on a regular basis, winning competitions, making appearances on radio shows, and even gaining the interest of Dave Matthews Band's management company, Red Light. "Charlottesville is really close-knit. All the musicians are like a family, everybody knows everybody and supports everybody else," Ashley says. "The first few months I would play live, people would just come up and say, 'Where did you come from? We've never seen you. We've never heard about you. But people are talking about you.'"
Ashley credits her "crazy brain" for all of her songs, though she's quick to add, "I have a really great band; they'll make suggestions about repeating a chorus here or trying this there. They're some of the best musicians of their kind in Charlottesville. I'm so lucky." The singer/songwriter has other tricks up her sleeve, though, when it comes to songwriting. "I have to be feeling a really intense emotion—whether it be 'I'm so sad' or 'I'm so happy'—it's almost always associated with a feeling. And I talk out loud to myself all the time—I got it, I think, from my grandmother. My nanny talks to herself all the time." That's how most of Ashley's songs start—with whatever phrase comes out of her mouth. "It usually ends up being the chorus, or the first line," she says.
Her EP, Now I Know, was released in January 2012 after being recorded and produced in Charlottesville with Jeff Romano of Jimmy Dog Studios and band member Rusty Speidel. "There was so much work that went into that EP—so much work. I had no idea how hard it was going to be but Jeff is hilarious. He made it really fun," Ashley says. And now, she has a product she can give people. "For all these years, I'd be somewhere and say, 'Yeah, I'm a singer,' and people would look at me like, 'Yeah, sure you are.' It's really cool to be able to support my statement."
Ashley is the first to admit her wildest dream is to win a Grammy. "Winning any award would be—oh gosh, to stand on that stage and cry as they call my name would be unbelievable," she says. But more than anything, she hopes to someday be recognized for her songwriting. Her band may go its separate way, things with Red Light may fall through, but she'll always have her voice and she'll always be able to write her songs. "If somebody in 30 years was like, 'Wow, Ashley McMillen was a good songwriter,' that would mean everything to me."

Some auto owners are getting insurance discounts by falsely claiming that their vehicles are for farm use. That's been going on for a long time.
But in a bizarre twist, the Los Angeles Times reports in a weekend story, it's happening among owners of high-end cars.
A guy with an old Ford who lives outside of town? Who'd question it if he says it's a farm car, seldom used on the public roads and thus entitled to cheaper insurance? But you'd think an insurance agent might be a little suspicious if a city guy with a Porsche claims the farm-use discount.
But apparently not. The Times story, by Jerry Hirsch, cites examples almost that blatant. An audit company uncovered an Audi A4 in Brooklyn, N.Y., getting the farm discount, for example. And a Cadillac Seville in Los Angeles was claiming ag use, too.
Insurance industry experts say that deceit is costing insurers some $150 million a year in lost premium income. And It could cost the prevaricating auto owners their coverage.
The insurance company can refuse to pay a claim if the owner made false statements to get the policy.

'Left, Right & Center': Senate vs. CIA, Gaza Cease-Fire, the U.S. Abroad
Posted on Aug 1, 2014
The CIA spying on Senate computers is just one example of an Obama administration routinely getting caught with its hand in the spying cookie jar. Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer says on this week's "Left, Right & Center" that "the Obama administration has been dreadful on this," and he encourages it to stop the digital snooping and be more transparent.
Next, the panel tackles the role of U.S. leadership around the world. Is it fading? Do other countries take it seriously? Panelist Chrystia Freeland, a member of Canada's parliament, says, "There's a bad feeling about executive leadership in the U.S." among other world leaders.
Meanwhile, the Gaza cease-fire has ended, and reports indicate Hamas has kidnapped an Israeli soldier. Yet, in traditional and social media, there's been an outpouring of support for Gaza residents. Panelist Rich Lowry of the National Review says that the backlash against Israel "is the propaganda Hamas depends on. Hamas is a terror group that is awful for peace in the region."
The panelists also discuss the prospects of the GOP in Congress moving toward impeachment.
Scheer, Freeland and Lowry are joined by Matt Miller, moderating from the center.

Second-Place USC Hosts UCLA In Crosstown Clash
LOS ANGELES - The USC women's basketball team (16-6 overall, 10-3 in the Pac-10, good for second place), under the direction of second-year coach Fred Williams and paced by Naismith Player of the Year candidate Tina Thompson, hosts UCLA (11-11, 5-8) on Saturday (Feb. 22) at 7:30 p.m. at the Lyon Center. The Women of Troy have won 7 of their last 9 games and have already surpassed both its overall and conference win totals of last season when the Women of Troy went 13-14, 8-10. Thompson recently has become only the fourth player in Pac-10 history to reach the 2,000-point plateau for her career and now stands at 2,090.
TELEVISION - The game will be televised live on Saturday (Feb. 22) at 7:30 p.m. by Fox Sports West 2. Tom Kelly and former USC Naismith Award winner Lisa Leslie will call the action.
RANKINGS - USC and UCLA are not ranked.
VS. UCLA - USC leads UCLA, 27-22. USC, which saw its 9-game winning streak against UCLA fall last season in Westwood, returned to its winning ways against the Bruins with a 60-56 win earlier this year on Jan. 24 at Pauley Pavilion. Sophomore guard Kristin Clark had an outstanding game, scoring a game-high 23 points on 10-of-20 shooting, making 4 key steals and getting 2 assists. Senior forward Tina Thompson had a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds. The Bruins led at halftime, 34-30, but the Women of Troy outscored them, 30-22, in the second half. With the score tied at 40, Clark made a steal and a lay-up to give the Women of Troy a 42-40 lead with 13:56 left, a lead they would not relinquish. USC got the lead up to 7 points with 2:29 left at 59-52 following 2 Thompson free throws, and held on the rest of the way. Freshman guard Melanie Pearson led the Bruins with 16 points and 9 rebounds. The last time USC faced UCLA at the Lyon Center Thompson scored a career-high 49 points, 1 point shy of the Pac-10 and USC-record 50 points set by former Trojan Cherie Nelson.
LAST WEEK - USC defeated Arizona State, 77-63, on Friday (Feb. 14) and fell to Arizona, 82-64, on Sunday (Feb. 16). Both games were at the Lyon Center. Against the Sun Devils, USC was led by senior forward Tina Thompson's 22 points and 8 rebounds and senior center Michelle Campbell's 10 points and 11 rebounds. The Sun Devils, led by Molly Tuter's 18 points, were held to only 31.9 percent shooting from the floor. USC took a 36-34 lead into halftime and opened the second half with a 9-2 run to take a 45-36 lead. Arizona State got as close as 51-46 with 12:15 to play, but an 11-2 run gave USC a 62-48 edge with 8:30 to go. USC, which also got 10 points from senior guard Erica Jackson and 11 off the bench from freshman forward Tiffany Washington, held a double-digit lead for the rest of the game. In the loss to the Wildcats, USC was held to 33.8 percent shooting. Thompson led USC with 26 points and 12 rebounds, but the Women of Troy couldn't overcome the aggressive defense and consistent outside shooting of Arizona. The Wildcats, led by freshman Lisa Griffith's 25 points and 7 3-pointers, turned a 30-19 first-half deficit into a 42-35 halftime lead thanks in part to a 17-0 run. They only built on the lead after the half, never leading by less than 9 points the rest of the way. Campbell added 14 points for the USC cause.
RECORDS - Senior forward Tina Thompson surpassed the 2,000-point mark for her career against Stanford on Feb. 6 and now stands at 2,090, good for third place on the Pac-10's all-time scoring list. She just passed Stanford's Val Whiting, who scored 2,077 points from 1989-93. In second is Oregon State's Tanja Kostic, who's at 2,349. She has also moved into second place on the Pac-10's all-time list for free throws attempted and made and stands at 501-for-694 for her career.

USC's 12 3-pointers at Arizona set a school record for most 3-pointers in a game. The previous record was 11, set against Arizona State on Feb. 15, 1996. Kristin Clark's 5-of-6 performance on 3-pointers in the Arizona game tied her for the second-most made in a game with Erica Mashia's performance last year against California. Clark's 3-point percentage against the Wildcats is also good for second all-time on the single game chart . . . The Women of Troy tied a school record at Washington when they made 19-of-20 free throws for a clip of 95 percent. The Women of Troy did the same in 1993.

COACH FRED WILLIAMS - USC women's basketball coach Fred Williams is in his second year as head coach and is in his 12th season with the program in some capacity. He was named head coach of the Women of Troy following Cheryl Miller's resignation in September of 1995. A longtime fixture in the Los Angeles basketball community, Williams was USC's associate head coach under Miller for 2 seasons (1994-95) and spent 8 seasons as an assistant (1984-91). In his first season as head coach, Williams' squad, which featured 6 freshmen and only 1 healthy senior, finished 13-14 overall and 8-10 in the Pacific-10 Conference. As associate head coach during the 1993-94 and 94-95 seasons, Williams helped direct USC to a 44-14 record and 2 NCAA Tournament appearances (including to the Mideast Regional Final in 1994).
TINA THOMPSON - A Naismith Player of the Year Top 10 candidate for the 1996-97 season, 6-3 forward Tina Thompson is in the midst of an All-American senior season, averaging 22.5 points and 10.4 rebounds, shooting 52.6 percent from the field and 39.5 from 3-point land. She is also averaging 1.2 blocks and 2.0 steals per game, scoring at least 20 points in 17 of 22 contests, including 10 efforts of 25 or more. She surpassed the 2,000-point mark for her career against Stanford on Feb. 6. Thompson, who has 12 double-doubles this season and 54 in her career, has been named Pac-10 Player of the Week 3 times this season for the weeks ending Dec. 8, Dec. 22 and Jan. 19. They were her third, fourth and fifth such honors in her career with one each coming as a sophomore and junior. Thompson, who has also been named to 2 all-tournament teams this season in addition to being selected as MVP of the Pac-10/Sun Belt Challenge, posted a season-high 31 points vs. UC Santa Barbara (12/19) to go along with 14 rebounds. She had 30 points against New Orleans (12/28) in the first day of the Pac-10/Sun Belt Challenge and she scored 26 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, blocked 3 shots and had 5 steals vs. Long Beach State (12/21). Thompson hit 26 again at Arizona (1/16) to go with 14 rebounds. She began this season with a 25-point, 11-rebound effort against San Diego State (12/1). She put up 22 points and a career-high 6 blocks against Western Illinois (12/6) in the first round of the Dial Soap Classic at Louisiana Tech and came back with a game-high 25 points (including 2 3-pointers) in the title game against the Lady Techsters (12/7), helping her earn All-Tournament honors. Thompson posted a 25-point, 17-rebound showing against Utah (12/14) in the UC Irvine Tournament, where she also earned All-Tournament honors. She opened the Pac-10 with a double-double at Washington (1/2) and followed that up with a 23-point, 10-rebound, 4-steal outing against Washington State (1/4). She had 19 points against California (1/10), 25 vs. Stanford (1/12) and 22 vs. Arizona State (1/18). Her latest double-doubles came against UCLA (1/24) with 14 points and 15 rebounds, vs. Oregon State (1/31) with 21 points and 12 rebounds and against Oregon with 20 points and 13 rebounds. She scored 29 points and had 7 rebounds against Stanford (2/6) and had 17 points at Cal (2/8), including the go-ahead layup with less than a minute to play. On the latest homestand, Thompson had 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting against Arizona State (2/14) and followed that with 26 points and 12 rebounds against Arizona (2/16). Thompson is the active leading scorer and rebounder in the Pac-10 with 2,090 points and 1,091 boards to her credit, good for third and fourth place, respectively, on the all-time lists. Thompson's junior season was highlighted by a 49-point effort against UCLA, which is second all-time among Pac-10 and USC performers, just 1 point shy of former Trojan standout Cherie Nelson's 50 against Cal in 1989.
MICHELLE CAMPBELL - The top shot blocker in the Pac-10, 6-5 center Michelle Campbell has proven to be a big factor in the fortunes of the Women of Troy in 1996-97. She put in another summer in which she worked hard on her game and USC has relied on her for inside scoring support as well as strong defense in the post. A reserve last season, she is again a starter and is flourishing, averaging 11.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. Campbell, who has 5 double-doubles and has scored in double figures in 9 of her last 10 games, put forth an excellent performance in the Pac-10/Sun Belt Challenge, earning All-Tournament honors. She scored 25 points, blocked 7 shots, both career highs, and had 12 rebounds against Western Kentucky (12/29) and had 16 points against New Orleans (12/28) to go along with 4 blocks and a career-high 5 assists. Most recently, she had 10 points and 11 rebounds against Arizona State (2/14). She had 23 points and 9 rebounds vs. Oregon State (1/31), 18 points and 9 rebounds at Arizona State (1/18), 17 points and 3 blocks at Cal (2/8) and had 15 points and tied a season high with 13 rebounds vs. Long Beach State (12/21) to go along with 4 blocks. Campbell had 14 points and 13 rebounds vs. UC Santa Barbara (12/19), 14 points vs. Arizona (2/16), 13 points and 10 rebounds at Arizona (1/16), 13 points and 3 blocks against Oregon (2/2), 12 points vs. Stanford (1/10), 11 points at UCLA (1/24), 10 points against Utah (12/14) and 11 rebounds and 3 blocks vs. Colorado State (12/13). Campbell, who has at least 1 block in 20 of 21 games, increased her scoring in 7 consecutive games in one early stretch, going from 4 points against Louisiana Tech to 25 against Western Kentucky. One of only 2 fifth-year seniors on the team (Rashida Jeffery is the other), Campbell was second on the Pac-10's active career leader board in blocked shots entering her senior season and now has 150. Campbell was a key reserve off the bench in 1995-96 as a junior, averaging 4.7 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in just 13.4 minutes.
KRISTIN CLARK - A feisty guard with a do-all attitude, sophomore Kristin Clark (identical twin of USC guard Kim Clark) figured to serve mainly as a backup guard in 1996-97, but has moved into the starting role as a result of Erica Mashia's hip injury. Clark has been sharp all season as the team's second-leading scorer (11.8) and possibly the Pac-10's most improved player. Clark scored a career-high 25 points at Arizona (1/16), making 5-of-6 3-pointers in the process. She followed that up 2 games later with 23 points and 4 key steals at UCLA (1/24) and she had 20 points (including 3 3-pointers) against Oregon (2/2). In USC's overtime win over UC Santa Barbara (12/19), Clark hit the game-tying shot, a 12-footer with 14 seconds to go, that sent the game into the extra period. She finished with 11 points and 6 steals in the win and has had at least 2 steals in 16 of 22 games this season. At Cal (2/8), her 3-pointer with 1:24 left in the game got USC to within 1 point, kickstarting a Women of Troy game-winning rally. She has scored 19 points 3 times, in wins over Utah (12/14) and New Orleans (12/28) and in a loss at Stanford (2/6). She had 13 points and 7 rebounds at Washington State (1/4) and, in the second game of the Pac-10/Sun Belt Challenge vs. Western Kentucky (12/29), Clark played all 50 minutes of the double-overtime affair, scoring 12 points and dishing out 8 assists. She opened the season with 12 points and 6 rebounds against San Diego State (12/1), had 11 points, 2 assists and 3 steals vs. Washington (1/2), 12 points and 4 assists at Arizona State (1/18) and had 10 points and 4 steals vs. Stanford (1/10). A solid ball-handler, the 5-7 Clark is equally deft at penetrating and dishing or pulling up for a 3-pointer. She is also valuable defensively as she is one of the quickest players on the team and is first in steals (2.4) and floor burns. Playing in all 27 games as a freshman, Clark came on at the end of the 1995-96 season and became a valuable contributor for the USC backcourt, starting 3 times.
ERICA JACKSON - Coach Williams is looking for a solid leadership figure as well as a veteran guard in 1996-97 and has both in 5-8 senior Erica Jackson. With 50 career starts to her credit entering this season, Jackson is a starter for her third consecutive year. Jackson (averaging a team-high 4.2 assists) tied her career high in scoring against California (1/10) with 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting, which included 2-of-3 on 3-pointers. She followed that with an 11-point effort, including 2 more 3-pointers, against Stanford (1/12) and had 10 points, 9 assists and another 2 3-pointers at Arizona (1/16). She scored 11 points and had 8 assists in the win over Oregon State (1/31), had 7 assists 2 days later vs. Oregon (2/2), scored 10 points vs. Arizona State (2/14), scored 9 points and dished out 6 assists in USC's opener vs. San Diego State (12/1) and had 9 points again vs. Utah (12/14) and New Orleans (12/28). Jackson, who had a career-high 10 assists vs. Western Kentucky (12/29), is USC's second best free throw shooter, making 42 of her 60 attempts (70 percent), which includes a stretch of 17 in a row that ended against the Gauchos. She is set at point guard, but, as she did for much of last season, she is able to slide over and play the 2-guard as well. Jackson started all but 1 game as a junior in 1995-96, sharing the backcourt with Erica Mashia.
ADRAIN WILLIAMS - A 6-4 sophomore forward, Adrain Williams has started 9 games for the Women of Troy this season after starting most of the season as a freshman. An athletic player, she is quick and agile for her size, a good rebounder and she can get out on the break or pull up for a jumper. She is fifth in scoring (7.6) and third in rebounding (5.8) and posted the best game of her USC career against Colorado State (12/13) with 21 points and 14 rebounds. Williams, who has come off the bench since the Pac-10 season started, had 13 points and 13 rebounds at California (2/8), hitting 2 clutch free throws in a one-and-one situation with 21.8 seconds left to give USC a 3-point cushion, which the Women of Troy held on to. Williams put together a double-double in the win over Long Beach State (12/21) with 13 points and 11 rebounds and repeated the feat vs. California (1/10) with 12 points and 13 rebounds off the bench. She scored 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting at Washington State (1/4) off the bench, posted 11 points and 4 steals against Western Illinois (12/6), had 11 points vs. New Orleans (12/28) and another 11 against Oregon State (1/31). A frontcourt starter in 20 of 27 games as a freshman in 1995-96, Williams averaged 9.6 points per game (third on the team) and was second in rebounding (5.8).
JODI PARRIOTT - A versatile forward, 6-2 sophomore Jodi Parriott has seen her role increase in 1996-97 as she provides Coach Williams with options at both the 3 and 4 positions. Parriott, USC's fourth-leading scorer (8.6) who has started at small forward since the Pac-10 season started, has become a valuable contributor offensively and defensively for USC. She scored a career-high 22 points vs. Western Kentucky (12/29) on 9-of-16 shooting and then matching that on 9-of-15 shooting at Washington (1/2) in her first career start. In the win over the Huskies, Parriott sank 3 free throws with no time on the clock to give USC a 1-point win. She followed that up with a 13-point effort on 6-of-8 shooting at Washington State (1/4). Parriott posted 20 points (including 7 in overtime) and 8 rebounds against UC Santa Barbara (12/19), had 16 points and 8 rebounds vs. California (1/10) and scored 11 points and made a career-high 5 steals against Oregon State (1/31). Playing in all but 1 game, all off the bench, as a 1995-96 freshman, Parriott averaged 1.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in an average of 9.6 minutes per outing.
KIM CLARK - After missing most of last season with a right shoulder injury, Kim Clark (identical twin of USC guard Kristin Clark) is expected to add outside shooting depth to USC's perimeter game in 1996-97. The 5-7 redshirt freshman, an aggressive player with an eye for loose balls, has come on recently as a defensive catalyst and as a back-up ball-handler. A lower back injury kept her out of early action this season, but Clark, now averaging 8.9 minutes per game, made her season debut against Long Beach State (12/21). She has played in 12 games this season, setting a career high with 11 points vs. California (1/10) on 5-of-6 shooting in 8 minutes. She played 17 minutes at UCLA (1/24) and was on the floor in the game's final minutes and played 18 minutes at Stanford (2/6). At Arizona State (1/18), Clark had 3 points, 2 assists and 2 steals in 11 minutes. She is one of 2 2-sport athletes on the team (true freshman Antoinette Polk is the other) and was a starting midfielder on the USC soccer team this fall. Clark scored 6 goals this year and had 3 assists.
RASHIDA JEFFERY - Counted on for important minutes inside the key, 6-2 fifth-year senior forward/center Rashida Jeffery saw her season, and USC career, end on Jan. 21 with knee surgery. Jeffery hadn't played since USC's second game of the season when she suffered a sprained knee. Jeffery was expected to play a valuable role for the Women of Troy in 1996-97 as the top post player off the bench. Jeffery, plagued by knee problems throughout her career, got a chance to start in USC's opener and came up big, grabbing a career-high 17 rebounds in 31 minutes to go along with 10 points against San Diego State (12/1). She was 3-of-3 against Western Illinois when she suffered the knee injury that ended her season. When healthy, Jeffery was one of the most athletic players in the conference and routinely played at the rim, making her one of the most fierce rebounders in the Pac-10. USC's most productive frontcourt player off the bench as a junior in 1995-96, Jeffery averaged 5.3 points and 4.7 rebounds (third best on the team) in only 15.2 minutes per game.
ERICA MASHIA - A Pac-10 All-Freshman team selection as a freshman guard in 1995-96, Erica Mashia was slated as USC's starting shooting guard this season. However, after finishing second on the team in scoring as a freshman and setting school season free throw and 3-point percentage records, Mashia reaggravated a hip injury suffered last season (in the preseason) and will likely be forced to redshirt.
FANTASTIC FRESHMEN - Williams added 4 freshmen to his roster this season, including 2 who are seeing opportunities right away. Guard Kiyoko Miller (5-8), from Valley Christian High (Brea, Calif.), comes to USC as a USA Today All-USA Honorable Mention and Southern Section Division IV Co-Player of the Year. Forward Tiffany Washington (6-2), from Bishop Montgomery High (Torrance, Calif.), was the Southern Section Division III Player of the Year. Miller, who made her first career start at Arizona (1/16), scored a season-high 7 points vs. Utah (12/14), had a season-high 5 rebounds vs. New Orleans (12/28), had 6 points, 3 assists and 2 steals vs. Long Beach State (12/21), 6 points on 3-of-4 shooting vs. California (1/10) and had a combined 10 points in USC's 2 games in the Dial Soap Classic (12/6-7). Washington, who recently came up with a strong showing against Stanford, scoring 5 points in 5 minutes, posted a double-double in only her second game, scoring 12 points and getting 11 rebounds against Western Illinois (12/6) and then scored 11 points (on 5-of-5 shooting) with 7 rebounds vs. Colorado State (12/13). Washington recently matched that with 11 points and 5 rebounds vs. Arizona State (2/14) and she had 8 points and 7 rebounds (5 offensive) at Arizona State (1/18). She has made 24-of-44 shots on the season (54.6 percent) and is averaging 3.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11.2 minutes per game. Coach Williams has welcomed to the squad Antoinette Polk, a 5-10 guard who recently finished her first season with the volleyball team. Polk spent the volleyball season as a redshirt, but began basketball practice Dec. 16 and made her USC debut in the final 3 minutes of the Long Beach State game. She made 1 of 2 shots in her first appearance and is 5-of-10 on the season in 5 games, recently setting a career high with 6 points at Arizona State on 3-of-3 shooting. The Sacramento Player of the Year, Polk, from El Camino High (Sacramento, Calif.), is an excellent athlete with great speed, quickness and leaping abilities. Also new is walk-on Robyn Lewis, a 5-7 guard from Gahr High (Cerritos, Calif.), who earned All-San Gabriel Valley League honors as a senior last year. She has played in 7 games this season, making 4-of-12 shots.
USC IN THE PAC-10 (as of 2/16) - Tina Thompson is the Pac-10's leading scorer (22.5) and second-leading rebounder (10.4). She is third in 3-point percentage (.395), tied for fourth in blocked shots (1.2) and field goal percentage (.526) and is fifth in free throw percentage (.760). Michelle Campbell leads the Pac-10 in blocked shots (2.2), is sixth in field goal percentage (.518) and is seventh in rebounding (7.8). Erica Jackson is sixth in assists (4.2) and Kristin Clark is tied for fifth in steals (2.4). As a team, USC is second in the Pac-10 in rebounding (43.6) and is third in field goal percentage defense (.381) and scoring offense (76.4). USC's 45 free throws vs. UC Santa Barbara (12/19), its .950 free throw percentage at Washington and its .800 3-point percentage vs. Arizona State on 4-of-5 shooting are Pac-10 highs and its 59 rebounds against Colorado State (12/13) is tied for a high. Campbell's 7 blocks vs. Western Kentucky (12/29) are a Pac-10 high.
SCHEDULE - The Women of Troy have faced 3 teams currently in the AP Top 25 this season: Louisiana Tech, Stanford (twice) and Western Kentucky. USC fell to then-No. 3 Louisiana Tech in the Dial Soap Classic, 66-47, lost to then-No. 9 Western Kentucky, 85-82, in double overtime, and lost to No. 3 Stanford twice: 77-76 at the Lyon Center and 103-69 in Palo Alto.
UCLA - The Bruins, under fourth-year coach Kathy Olivier, are 11-11 overall, 5-8 in the Pac-10, tied for sixth place. Freshman forward Maylana Martin is averaging a team-high 17.4 points and 6.1 rebounds and freshman guard Melanie Pearson is second with 9.5 points. Like USC, UCLA is coming off of a split with the Arizona schools, having lost to Arizona and beaten Arizona State.
PAC-10 PRESEASON COACHES POLL - 1. Stanford, 2. Oregon, 3. USC, 4. Arizona, 5. UCLA, 6. Washington, 7. Washington State, 8. California, 9. Oregon State, 10. Arizona State.
EARLY SIGNING - USC signed one player in the early signing period, Tashara Carter, a 6-0 forward from Bishop Montgomery (Torrance, Calif.). Carter averaged 16.0 points and 8.0 rebounds as a junior last season when she teamed with current Trojan freshman forward Tiffany Washington. Carter was recently tabbed a 1996-97 Street & Smith All-American honorable mention. Other honors include: All-State Division III as a junior in 1996, All-CIF Division III in 1995 and 1996, 1995 Los Angeles Times All-South Bay, 1995 and 1996 Daily Breeze All-South Bay, 1995 Del Rey League MVP and 2-time All-Del Rey League selection. Carter, who averaged 15.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game as a sophomore, helped lead Bishop Montgomery to the Division III-AA state championship in 1995.
SHORTHANDED - USC Coach Fred Williams has been without his full complement of players so far this season. It starts with the likely season-long loss of starting sophomore guard Erica Mashia because of a hip injury. He had been without the services of both redshirt freshman guard Kim Clark (because of a nagging back injury) and freshman guard Antoinette Polk, who has been with the volleyball team. Both made their debut in USC's game against Long Beach State (12/21). Williams also has had to do without senior forward Rashida Jeffery since the second game of the season. Jeffery had season-ending knee surgery on Jan. 21.
WILLIAMS SAYS - "The loss to Arizona was obviously a tough game but all we can do is learn from it and go on. We're still in the thick of things in the Pac-10 and we're looking to finish off our last 5 games strong. Every game will be a hard-fought affair the rest of the way and UCLA will be no different. They have a fine team and gave us all we could handle and more the last time we met. I expect Saturday to be no different."
The Last Time A Trojan...
The Last Time USC...
Tina Thompson - The Word Is...
"Thompson is hands down the league's MVP."
"Tina Thompson, in my mind, is one of the premier players of the Pac-10. Thompson controls things inside and outside. She is their go-to player."
"She's got a well-rounded game and is going to be a great pro."
"(Thompson) can score from the outside, drive from the outside or play with her back to the basket."
"Tina Thompson isn't someone you can easily overlook. First, there are 6 feet, 3 inches of muscular arms and legs that seem to be everywhere on the basketball court. Above the rim, under the basket, in an opponent's face."
(On Thompson's 49-point game as a junior) "Watching Tina perform on television was exciting and fun viewing. She makes it seem so easy."
"She's a great player and we did not have one player who could match up with her."
"Tina Thompson is a phenomenal scorer."

By Sandra Block, USA TODAY
MALVERN, Pa. Even during ordinary times, managing a financial services powerhouse is not a job for the weak of spirit or faint of heart. And September 2008 was no ordinary time.
Two weeks after Bill McNabb was named chief executive officer for Vanguard Group, Lehman Bros. filed for bankruptcy court protection, setting off the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.
McNabb, 53, was meeting with institutional clients in Washington, D.C., when news of Lehman's Chapter 11 filing triggered a 504-point decline in the Dow Jones industrial average. His first decision was to send Chief Investment Officer Gus Sauter back to company headquarters in Malvern, Pa.
They rented a red Mustang. That's an uncharacteristic choice for a company that prides itself on its frugality, but McNabb thought it was important for Sauter to be with the company's investment managers, and there weren't any beige Camrys available.
McNabb stayed in Washington and continued to meet with institutional clients. "In an odd way, it was reassuring that I did stay in D.C., because it showed that we had confidence in our own people to manage the nitty-gritty," he says.
During the following weeks, Vanguard executives reached out to investors through live webcasts, TV interviews and other tools. McNabb credits those efforts with preventing a large-scale sell-off of Vanguard funds. The company posted industry-leading net cash inflows of $84 billion in 2008 and $101 billion in 2009.
McNabb says his only regret is that the company didn't do even more to reassure investors during that perilous time. In retrospect, he says, "I would have been even more aggressive."
Now, McNabb faces a potentially bigger challenge: complacency. With $1.3 trillion in assets, Vanguard is the nation's largest fund company. Longtime rival Fidelity Investments has $1.24 trillion, according to the Investment Company Institute.
"Nobody ever stays at the top of the heap forever or even very long," says Dan Culloton, associate director of fund analysis for investment research firm Morningstar. "If they did anything to betray the trust they've built up over the last 30 years, it would be gone in an instant."
McNabb says the danger of complacency was drilled into his head by his predecessor, Jack Brennan, now the chairman emeritus of Vanguard. Among McNabb's favorite books are Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies by Jim Collins and Only the Paranoid Survive by Intel founder Andrew Grove.
"Those two books and a lot of others that were related were very much part of our upbringing at Vanguard," he says. "I've been indoctrinated with that. I always described Jack as the least-complacent person on the planet."
An inauspicious beginning
McNabb received his undergraduate degree in political science from Dartmouth College, with the equivalent of a minor in economics and English (Dartmouth doesn't award minor degrees). His father, a lawyer who majored in English, encouraged him to take government and English courses.

He studied economics at the behest of his mother, who majored in economics before staying home to raise five children. McNabb says his mother continues to follow the markets and calls him frequently to discuss various stocks or mutual funds.
After he graduated from Dartmouth in 1979, McNabb got a job teaching Latin at a private boys' school near Philadelphia. During the job interview, McNabb confessed that he hadn't studied Latin for several years, but he was hired anyway. "What they really wanted was someone who was young and cheap and could coach a couple of sports," he says.
After teaching for two years, he was accepted at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, where he received his MBA in 1983. That led to a job with Chase Manhattan in New York, where he worked in global banking and mergers-and-acquisitions for three years. He says he enjoyed the job but had questions about his employer's long-term strategy. In addition, his wife, Katie, is from the Philadelphia area, and they weren't sure they wanted to stay in New York.
A friend from Wharton suggested that he apply for a job at Vanguard, managing a fund that invested in guaranteed investment contracts, or GICs. He had to go to the library and get more information about both the company and the product. But during the interview process — which involved meeting with 27 different Vanguard employees — "There was something about the culture and values that really resonated with me," he says. "Jack Brennan had this phrase: 'We want to operate with the rigor of Wall Street but with Midwestern values.' "
No 'I' in team
In 1986, McNabb took the job and moved back to Pennsylvania. "When I told people in New York what I was doing, they thought I was out of my mind," he says. "Obviously, it worked out OK."
McNabb isn't a Wall Street gadfly like Vanguard founder Jack Bogle, and he's less outspoken than Brennan, co-workers and analysts say. McNabb "has his own opinions, but at the same time he really listens to debate without much participation, and then he'll weigh the evidence and make a decision," says Sauter, who joined Vanguard a year after McNabb. "Jack (Brennan) was similar, except I think Jack was more participatory in the debate."
McNabb says his experience on a championship rowing team at Dartmouth influenced his management style.
Rowing "was the ultimate expression of the power of the team," he says. "You can see how much you can accomplish if you were all on the same page. We had a lot of Type A personalities ... but what was amazing was the ability to channel it toward a common purpose. I feel the same way about the team here."
McNabb is also a runner and avid cyclist. Because he likes to have a goal, he trains every summer to compete in the Pan-Mass Challenge, a two-day, 200-mile charity bicycle race from Sturbridge to Provincetown, Mass.
His work habits are equally rigorous. McNabb gets up most days at 5 a.m. and arrives at the office by 5:45. Because the company's cafeteria isn't open that early, he stops on his way to work for a cup of coffee and, if he's having a "good exercise week," a scone.
A 'competitive nature'
Sauter says McNabb's work ethic closely resembles Brennan's. "One thing that really characterizes a lot of our senior management is their competitive nature," he says. "And no one was more competitive than Jack — except for maybe Bill."
Most of McNabb's days are filled with meetings with fund managers, large clients and groups of company employees. He travels about 25% of the time. Face-to-face meetings are important to him. "When I'm visiting 401(k) clients, I love being in somebody's office and asking them what's on their mind," he says.
When he speaks to investors, McNabb urges them to put aside 12% to 15% of their paychecks toward retirement. At a time when many workers have seen their household income decline, that's a tough sell, especially when it comes from the head of a company that manages billions of dollars in 401(k) accounts.
But McNabb argues that increasing savings will benefit the economy far more than short-term efforts to boost economic growth. Instead of trying to encourage consumer spending, McNabb says, "We should be talking about savings rates and getting people to live within their means."
"The downside of oversaving is tiny compared to the downside of undersaving," he says. "Is it easy? No. Is it possible or realistic? Yes."

Freshman Howard Scott (Exeter, England) knotted the match once again at 2-2 with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Hans Adrian Reseng at No. 6 singles, but the Hatters closed out the No. 2 and No. 3 matches to secure the win.

Workers voted by a show of hands to go back to work at a mass meeting outside the Lindsey oil refinery in north Lincolnshire after union officials recommended they accept an agreement thrashed out during marathon talks last week.
The workers went on unofficial strike after complaining that 51 employees were being laid off at Lindsey, owned by energy giant Total, while other contractors on the site were hiring staff.
Thousands of workers across Britain took sympathy action in support of the Lindsey workers at up to 15 sites.
Unions said they had achieved their objective of finding other jobs for the 51 workers as well as rescinding dismissal notices sent to 647 employees at the site who were on strike.
The unions also won a guarantee of no victimisation against workers across the country who took sympathy action.
Addressing the hundreds of strikers gathered outside the refinery, GMB shop steward Kenny Ward described Thursday's deal as an "unprecedented victory" for trade unions.
He said the agreement was a "smack in the face for the employers, a realisation that they need to take a step back".
He continued: "In my opinion, we have achieved an unprecedented victory not just for us but on a legal front as well so I recommend and we recommend as the Shop Stewards Committee that you vote 'yes' and we return to work."
Within minutes of the vote, police had temporarily halted traffic as the workers marched across the road and back on to the site, bearing union banners and flags.

Result? Orange Pecan Sweet Bread (that surprisingly isn't belt busting!)
So go to town with this recipe and serve with what else but...Oranges?

Nice Vcaps. They don't smell bad like gelatin ones. The price is normal for 300 pieces. These capsules are often starch-, gluten- and preservative-free to meet U.S. Pharmacopoeia and the European Pharmacopoeia standards as label says.
Vcaps are just as ordered.

I read somewhere in the Internet on a list of "home remedies" that nutmeg has a relaxing affect somewhat like turkey. (Everyone knows how sleepy one gets after a turkey dinner.) I am a mild insomniac. I tried a little nutmeg in milk one night at 3:30 a.m. and went right back to sleep. I thought to fill my own Vcaps with ground nutmeg would be worth a try, because nutmeg in a small glass of milk didn't taste too wonderful. Well, it works. I wake up and then take a nutmeg pill with a small glass of milk and fall right back to sleep. Wonderful! No habit forming drugs..... JBS in Colorado Springs
Love these caps!

These are great if you want to save some $$$ and cap your own herbal supplements or anything else not palatable in loose powder form. I also have a capsule machine (you can get that here too) and it's the best thing since organic non-gmo soymilk! ;)

I buy a lot of bulk herbs for teas and tinctures. These capsules are easy to use to make pill forumlas, and are vegetarian friendly.
Exactly how you need it to be

These caps are perfect: the size makes them easy to fill, and they click nicely when you close them so they won't open accidentally!

Vcaps are a little more difficult to fill and close than regular Gelatin Caps. They are very light. They swallow easy and don't seem to hang up in my esophagus like some gelatin caps do.
I wish smaller sizes were available
Posted by Gondwanaland00 on Aug 31, 2014 | Verified Purchase
These are good but I would like to have smaller ones.
Posted by Anaterma on Oct 11, 2013 | Verified Purchase
i consider this to be actually expensive since it's basically just cellulose. the capsules are not the easiest to fill and then close. still a useful thing.

Green Run - Bus Depot (Revision 1752)
The Bus Depot is the first stop in the Zombie Game Mode TranZit. If playing TranZit, players will travel from area to area. See the Green Run page for a TranZit Walkthrough, seeing as how the TranZit mode will take players through several areas of Green Run.
The Bus Depot can also be fought on in a Survival game mode, but it will be a much smaller map with less to do. Players start the game in the lobby of the Bus Depot. There are two weapons and several barriers to guard. Open the door with 750 points to fight around the outside of the station.
The station's outside holds two more weapons on the walls and a Mystery Box.
Careful of the fire and lava that come up out of the ground. Players that touch it will be damages. Zombies that touch it will be set on fire and may explode when shot or melee'd.

When the engineers at Thule created the Glide and Set Kayak Carrier, they designed each pair of saddles according to function. When you're loading, the rear saddles must allow the kayak to slide to the front and be guided so it's centered, so Thule lined these saddles with felt for low friction. Once in the installed position, the front saddles must grip the surface of the kayak's hull. Thule made these saddles adjustable so they conform to the shape of the hull, for increased lateral stability and protection. The integrated rubber pads protect the hull and help hold the kayak in place for transportation.
With the Glide and Set, one person can load and unload a kayak up to 34" wide and 75 lbs. It includes all straps necessary to secure one kayak and each strap features the patented buckle bumper, to protect the surface of the kayak and your vehicle. Up to 2 carriers can be installed per vehicle. The Glide and Set can be easily mounted to Thule rack systems, round bars and most factory racks without using any tools.
The Glide and Set Kayak Carrier comes with everything necessary for installation, including detailed instructions. The limited lifetime warranty applies to the original purchaser of the product, and warrants the product against manufacturer's defects in materials or workmanship.

Sick of returning 01/26/2014
This review is from: Keurig K45 Elite Brewing System with bonus 12-count K-Cup Variety Pack and Water Filter 20029
Works great but w/o the optional filter!
Got this for the GF for Xmas, we un-boxed it followed the instructions to the "T" got 1 cup of coffer. After that you would get a 1/4 to 1/2 cup or nothing at all.
Called Keurig and they said no problem and sent out a replacement K cup holder and the tech assured us that was the problem (also she mentioned in the conversation that nothing is built decent anymore!)
So part arrives and same issue, so I was told to send back the K cup holder on my dime and they would send out a new replacement unit. So sent it back and tossed out the unit.
Now after another week wait, the unit arrives and we open it up and there was no water filter included.
So back on the phone again and we were now told that the previous tech should of told us to keep the filter assembly........ REALLY now they tell us.
So now Keurig says no problem well ship another filter, wait another week and it arrives. Pop the new filter in after following the instructions and guess what???
Got 1 full cup of coffee and then right back to the original issue. Were sick and tired of this nonsence. We just left the filter out and it works, no more shipping and would never buy another unit from Keurig.
Were in Chicago and we do have good water here......... Pretty upset, I did ot turn out to be a good Xmas gift.
Other Thoughts:
New Egg rocks, shipped on time, good price... Keurig well read above
