Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Dorothy is from Kenya. She has 2 children. She needs a loan of $250 to buy stock for her grocery store.
Dorothy is from Kenya. She has 2 children. She needs a loan of $250 to buy stock for her grocery store.
Dorothy operates a grocery shop in Katito, Kenya. Because food prices are high and she lacks capital to purchase more stock, she finds it difficult to expand her revenue.
With a loan from World Vision, Dorothy will purchase more stock for her grocery such as sugar and cooking fat. Once she is able to purchase more stock, she will be able to meet her client's demands. More revenue will allow Dorothy to pay for her children's school fees. She also hopes to expand her business large enough to hire staff to help in the shop.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
Katito is a hill in Kenya with an average elevation of 5,000 feet. Summers are warm and rainfall is irregular. There is a high rate of HIV infection in Katito. Poverty has left most families and particularly children very susceptible to disease. Lack of fresh water is a major issue. Many dams are contaminated. Some residents treat the water at home while others drink as is.
Children are considered a valuable resource. A large family means more hands to help on the farm and ensures parents will be taken care of in their old age. With long distances between home and school and children needing to help on the farm, many do not get to attend school.
World Vision focuses on education, immunizations, HIV and AIDS prevention education, food security, and sanitation.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Dorothy Omondi to expand her retail and grocery business where she owns a grocery store. After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $250 to restock for her store.
Dorothy has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $10. In addition to repaying her loan, Dorothy is using additional income to buy supplies in bulk and expand the current business. Dorothy's 2 children continue to study in school. Thank you for supporting Dorothy and World Vision Micro!
Dorothy Omondi has successfully repaid her small business loan. She invested the $250 into restocking her grocery store to attract more customers and increase her sales.
Thanks to the loan she received, Dorothy was able to use the profits from her business to pay school fees for her children, expand her current business, and buy supplies in bulk.
In the future, Dorothy aspires to earn enough to continue sending her children to school, further expand her current business, and take out another loan.
Dorothy's two children continue to study in school. Because she was able to invest in her business, she will be able to invest in her family.
Thank you for investing in the power of hardworking people, like Dorothy, through World Vision Micro. These funds are now available to help other entrepreneurs in Dorothy's community.

CRIMES including 60 per cent of rapes have been wrongly dismissed or recorded inaccurately by North Yorkshire Police, a new report suggests.
An independent watchdog examined how crimes had been recorded and highlighted the recording of alleged rapes as a problem area.
The report said: "It is particularly concerning that of the 35 rape no-crime records we reviewed, 21 of them were incorrectly no-crimed."
Overall, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) looked at 72 records and found that while 68 should have been recorded as crimes, only 57 were. Of these, five were wrongly classified and 13 were recorded outside Home Office time limits.
Investigators also looked 105 crimes that had been dismissed as 'no-crimes'. They found 71 complied with national crime recording standards, but some had been incorrectly labelled.
HMIC carried out the inspection as part of an examination of the way all 43 forces in England and Wales record crime data, to find whether police-recorded crime can be trusted.
They issued 13 recommendations for how North Yorkshire Police could improve crime recording, including the immediate creation of a new method, the inclusion of crimes that occur in other areas but relate to or are reported to North Yorkshire Police, and that those making no-crime decisions are fully aware of the appropriate rules.
Other changes must include paying special attention to vulnerable adults and children reporting crimes, a new management system, using feedback from victims to improve services, and new training for all force staff.
Deputy Chief Constable Tim Madgwick is the chief officer lead for crime data integrity at North Yorkshire Police, and said the force is working to improve the way it deals with victims of crime, as well as crime reporting.
Mr Madgwick said: "It is heartening that HMIC has recognised that we follow good practice when recording high-risk incidences, and that they have clearly stated that there is no suggestion that we have ever deliberately attempted to under-record or mis-classify crimes. However, we acknowledge there is more we can - and will - do to enhance our recording procedures.
"The main point is that no crime goes un-investigated at North Yorkshire Police - regardless of how it might subsequently be recorded on the system. The public can be assured that whenever they come forward and report an incident, it will be fully pursued by the police, and the victim will be given appropriate support."
Julia Mulligan, Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, said: "There is clearly work to do to improve the processes around which North Yorkshire Police records crime, and I know that they have already begun to do this. I will be monitoring progress closely.
"However, it is reassuring to see that HMIC has specifically said that North Yorkshire Police has a clear understanding of the expected standards of behaviour and conduct to achieve crime recording integrity, so the public can trust the figures produced by the force."

More Secure Shipments—Protect your valuable documents and merchandise with these specialty envelopes. Each one is designed for a specific item or purpose, so your shipments are more secure. Choose from a variety of products, including CD envelopes, packing list envelopes, and poly mailers.
Convenient Design
These specialty envelopes are designed to hold specific items and documents, so you can create a professional look for any type of mailing. Reduce waste when packing tiny items with small key envelopes. Choose DVD sleeves to protect your discs and ship important literature in extra-wide catalog envelopes. For easy office communication, invest in a pack of inter-departmental envelopes printed with space for notes and signatures.
Protective Materials
Thick paper or plastic envelopes shield your documents or brochures, preventing scratching and bending during the shipping process. When security is a serious concern, select envelopes made from tear-resistant Tyvek. For photos and contracts, select sturdy cardboard mailers. Ensure your packages get to the right destination with custom labels.
Easy Packing
Many of these specialty envelopes are designed with quick-seal closures that streamline the packing process. For swift access to documents, opt for legal mailers with button and string closures. Choose envelopes with self-seal flaps to eliminate the need for sponges or moisture. For extra protection, select mailers compatible with heat seal machines.
Flexible Capacity
Sometimes, a standard flat envelope isn't large enough—for a more flexible option, select accordion-style expanding envelopes. Poly mailers conform to the shape of an item, making them an ideal choice for oddly shaped merchandise that needs extra protection. When you need to transport stacks of paper, look for plastic envelopes that stretch slightly to accommodate different thicknesses.

A LUCKY High Wycombe resident has won The Hospice Lottery – which had previously rolled over for 46 weeks to build the highest prize in its history.
A woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, scooped £9,200 in the lottery which raises money for six hospice partners including Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity in Aylesbury and South Bucks Hospice in High Wycombe.
"I never in a million years expected to win this amount. I'm truly overwhelmed. The news hasn't quite sunk in yet.
"I joined the lottery because my friend was cared for by Florence Nightingale Hospice and the nurses and care she received was fantastic.
"My first thought when I found out I had won, was that I could help even more and I shall definitely be giving some money back to HLP to help in their fundraising for the six local hospices they support.
"I shall also be buying myself a new cooker as mine is about 20 years old now and on its last legs. As for the rest, well I shall treat the family to some trips out and have my first proper holiday in ten years."
To join The Hospice Lottery Partnership, which costs from £4.34 a month, call on 01442 891459 or visit www.hospicelottery.org.uk.

|The World's 100 Largest Yachts - 2005
By Diane M. Byrne
It was quite a year, 1985. While much of the world was still wondering whether Big Brother truly was watching, pondering the similarities between reality and George Orwell's fictional totalitarian state, in the megayacht world people were contemplating a whole other state of affairs that was equally mind-boggling. They were marveling at just how astoundingly large yachts were getting. Suddenly, 100-footers were starting to become as commonplace as 70-footers had been a decade prior.
And then there were the really huge yachts that had been delivered recently, the size and amenities of which people couldn't stop talking about. One, Kisuca, was a 220-footer that had been converted from a commercial vessel the year prior. Imagine that, they said: A converted craft, and one which toted a 32-foot Hatteras sportfisherman to boot. Then there was Cedar Sea II, a 203-footer. Not only was she purpose-built as a yacht, but she was also the largest such new launch to be built anywhere in the world and contained an oval swimming pool.
These two modern marvels came in at numbers 11 and 18, respectively, on something else people couldn't stop talking about: "The Power & Motoryacht 100," a never-before compilation of the 100 largest yachts in the world.
To paraphrase an old marketing slogan, we've come a long way, baby. Consider the following:
• In 1985 there were approximately 300 yachts measuring 100 feet and up worldwide. These days there are thousands—and counting. And as for 100-footers being as commonplace as 70-footers, well, these days 150-footers are eliciting yawns in some circles.
• The largest privately owned yacht back then was the 380-foot Atlantis. While she's still on the list today, there are no fewer than six private yachts exceeding her length.
• The "smallest" yacht on our list in 1985 was a 123-footer named Cacique. These days a 175-footer doesn't even make the list.
• Twenty years ago Europeans and Saudis dominated the top 20, with just one American breaking up their stronghold, coming in at number 15 with a 210-footer named Non Stop. This year five Americans are among the top 20—but that pales in comparison to the fact that one Russian owner claims title to three vessels in that same span.
Yep, things sure have changed. But not everything: Size still matters, both to private individuals and to heads of state. While we've been omitting yachts maintained for heads of state for several years, we've decided to bring them back with this issue, since there have been some significant changes among their ranks in recent years. They're grouped separately at the end of this story as a top-five list.
So without further ado, here are the largest yachts in the world.
KEY: L=length; Y=year launched (where two dates are given, the second is a refit date); B=builder; N=naval architect; H=hull material; E=engines

With our newest episode, Fantastic Foods 2 (tonight at 10pm ET on Cooking Channel), I can't help but reminisce about how awesome the fans have been. Between typing in ALL CAPS (all the time) and permanently branding oneself with a Bitchin' Kitchen tattoo, one thing goes without saying: We have the best community EVER! Even the ones who thought posting their telephone numbers on our public page was a good idea, I heart you, too (but you may want to change your number now). Here are my top-three fan moments:
Chopped Outrage
I was more than stoked to be a part of Chopped All-Stars, and I was even more amazed to see how many of my fans came out to show their support when I was eliminated for dropping my balls. In addition to posting, tweeting and sending emails, our community even started redemption petitions! Now you gotta love (or be scared of) fans who will plot revenge missions. Not to mention, they all have a newfound hatred for mango shots. I can't blame them.
Tina & Adam "Vlogs"
If there's anyone who gets Bitchin' Kitchen, it's Tina and her son, Adam. Fans since season one, Tina films Adam (who was barely 5 years old when they started) as he re-creates all of my recipes. Donning a chef's hat, an apron and the occasional banana costume, Adam is a natural in the kitchen. There was one time we cringed as he made caramel — even grown people can mess that up, but not Adam. These two are what the crew calls superfans. Adam, we'll see ya on TV one day, we're sure of it!
BK Tattoos
Nothing says commitment like permanently jabbing ink into your skin. Yes, tattoos are all the rage, but I'm still floored that more than one of you has taken this very devoted approach to showing your BK love. We all know the BK logo is pretty bitchin' (I designed it myself, hehe), but there's just something about having it peek out of shirt sleeves or socks that makes it even more badass. Part of me fears the day someone gets a Nadia G. portrait tattooed on themselves — not because of the creepy amount of love, but because I'm afraid of an artist messing with my face. They better get my cheekbones right, eh?
An honorable mention is in order for all the fans with BK shrines (complete with G dolls), kitchens and other spaces decorated in the BK flair, as well as every single person who takes the time to watch, tweet or send us hate mail. You complete us!
Tune in to Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen "Fantastic Foods 2" tonight at 10pm | 9c on Cooking Channel.

PLANS for a new mini-supermarket on Malvern's newest housing development are likely to get a mixed reception, says one community leader.
Sainsbury's has put in a planning application to open up one of its Sainsbury's Local stores on the Malvern Vale estate off Leigh Sinton Road.
The application says the store will have 260 square metres of retail space, and calls for opening hours of 7am to 11pm, seven days a week.
Chris Reed, manager of the nearby Malvern Vale Community Centre said: "I would say a majority of people on the estate want a shop and will be pleased that a planning application has been made.
"But those living in the immediate vicinity of the shop are concerned, particularly about the opening hours. They are worried that having it open to 11 at night will attract problems associated with alcohol and people hanging around."
Malvern Vale, which has about 400 houses, was built on the old North Site defence technology establishment.
Andrew Manger of Sainsbury's said: "Our proposal will add to community facilities and make a positive contribution for residents and businesses. It is Sainsbury's priority to be a good neighbour."
If approved, the shop will be opened by mid-2015 and will create 25 full- and part-time jobs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/2/2013 (1661 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The big man is still on the mend.
The Winnipeg Jets will be without Dustin Byfuglien for a third straight game when the Florida Panthers pay a visit to MTS Centre Tuesday (7 p.m.; TSN Jets/TSN 1290).
"He's day-to-day," said head coach Claude Noel, "but it doesn't look like he'll be in that game. We don't anticipate it (the injury and rehab) to be weeks."
The Jets practiced at MTS Iceplex today, with all healthy hands on deck, including Andrew Ladd, Bryan Little and Zach Redmond, all of whom skipped Sunday's session for maintenance reasons.
Now 3-4-1 after dropping three straight, the Jets will play five of their next six games at MTS Centre. It begins Tuesday against the Panthers, who are 3-5 overall, and continues Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Jets are in Ottawa on Saturday, then return home for games against Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Boston the following week.
"The goal on any given night is to have everybody in the room on their 'A' game," said defenceman Mark Stuart. "Right now we haven't got consistent 'A' games from every guy in the room. That's something that we've talked about and that we're going to need to get. We are putting it (last week's road trip) behind us. We've got a big game against Florida (Tuesday). We felt like we let that one (a 6-3 loss last Thursday in which they held two third-period leads) slip away."

Mobile phone companies O2 and Vodafone are planning to upgrade a base station at Seend Cleeve.
They propose replacing the existing 17.5 metre mast with a 20 metre high mast and an equipment cabinet to cater for future 4G coverage.
The companies have agreed to jointly operate and manage a single network grid across the UK.
The base station is next to a disused quarry at Seend Cleeve.
In the plan submitted to Wiltshire Council the companies' agent said a retained base station is needed at the site to maintain existing network coverage and capacity and to cater for 4G network for both Telefonica, commonly known as O2, and Vodafone.
"The scheme would be set back from the highway, within private land which allows for unimpeded pedestrian and vehicular movements.
"There are mature trees and foliage in the immediate locality," the agent added.


text: I love this time of year! My second favorite after the holiday season! I know most people are assuming it will be heat vs thunder, but I think the thunder will get some tough competition from the grizzlies/clips winner and the spurs in the WCF, I don't think that's a given, at least not as much as the heat winning the east. If it is OKC vs Miami, it will be a dull series like last year, dominated by Miami. I hope for entertainment purposes it's either the spurs or the grizzlies playing the heat in the finals, those are the two teams that would give the heat the most trouble in a 7 game series. Weird that I won't have the mavs to root against this year! But a spurs/lakers series makes up for it a little. GO SPURS GO

Jeffk464 - Sunday, May 24, 2009 - linkI sure hope this chip can handle hd audio and hd video. It would make for a really nice mini pc to hook up to the home theater. I like the idea of having a low power/low noise cheap pc that I can hook up to my home theater. Its the perfect music player, ALL-format video player, and free unrestricted DVR. Reply
bollux78 - Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - linkreally wanting some more monopoly issues for the collection. Are they afraid their chipset market share drops from ~90% to about 70% because of nvidia? they simply cannot allow competition. Sad policy for a company that doesn´t need more money. Tha´s why this world is drowning in it´s own shortsightness. Reply
jensend - Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - linkHasn't everything stated in this article been known for at least 6 months now? I looked at the article title and anticipated architectural details on how the cpu has been improved or what the integrated graphics would be like, availability date, early benchmarks, or something else worthy of attention. But the article doesn't seem to say anything more than that it will have integrated graphics and memory controller, which is old old news. Reply

I just see too many loose ends here. Nvidia just need to tak ethe right step. Like after Intel being slapped with monopolists processes. Japan, Korea, now Europe. Just wait until somebody in the US start ticking.
I honestly can see Nvidia doing a x86. No problem. And i believe they have the personel to do it. Reply
bobvodka - Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - linkThe problem for NV is they don't have the rights to produce an x86 compatible CPU due to IP issues.
I also very much doubt they could do it 'before the end of the year' as well. Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - linkWhat you need to state is whether this chipset supports SATA. If not, this isn't going to be a great desktop chipset. Or, perhaps it will depending on the south bridge, in which case, nVidia could still plug in anyhow via an ION without a memory controller. Reply

The DMI link is meant to attach a southbridge and is relatively low bandwidth being equivalent of a PCIe 1.1 x4 bus. An nVidia IGP would no doubt saturate the bus, especially if it has to go through DMI to access the on-CPU memory controller.
This is actually going to be an increasing problem since mainstream Nehalem like Lynnfield don't include CSI and only have DMI which will make it difficult for nVidia to make IGPs even if they figure out their chipset licensing issue with Intel. Future chipsets will largely be relegated to southbridges, which isn't exactly glamourous or allow much product differentiation for nVidia.
A compromise might be a southbridge with an IGP and it's own memory controller for a small amount of dedicated graphics memory like AMD's Sideport. That would of course increase cost and require more board room for those memory chips even if they are soldered on the motherboard rather than slotted. Reply
Spivonious - Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - linkLook at the graphic. SATA is clearly marked as being present in the chipset. Reply
sprockkets - Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - linkIt might be in the graphic, but previously it was mentioned it would not be there.
Even though it is in the picture, I want confirmation. They wanted to leave SATA out since it takes more power, and they were wanting to make this particular Atom more of a MID chip, and not a desktop chip. Reply
whatthehey - Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - linkYes, but does it support HD audio, USB, or PCI Express!? ;-)
Actually, this is very interesting. After all of the "you can only integrate the memory controller once" and "it locks you into a specific memory type" talk from Intel back in the Athlon 64 era, now they're taking that route with their ultra low power CPU/platform.
Also interesting to note that this basically kills off much of the market for stuff like, oh, I dunno... maybe NVIDIA Ion? That's pretty brutal, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Now NVIDIA is cut out of the Intel desktop chipset business, more or less, since they can't make DMI compatible chipsets (to my knowledge they don't have rights to do so), and Intel is doing the same with Atom. NVIDIA better hope AMD sticks around is all I can say! Reply
Anonymous Freak - Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - linkWell, from previous AMD reviews, we know that DDR3 is backward compatible with DDR2 at the chipset level, so all it takes is board design differences. (Socket AM2+ vs. AM3.)
If Intel puts a DDR3 controller in it, then they can go with DDR2 now, and DDR3 when it gets cheaper. Reply

RaiderJ - Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - linkOverall I like this change. The chipset Intel has used has been the weakest link in the Intel platform. Too bad the new design shuts out other chipsets.... but there's always AMD to be needing chipsets! Reply
nubie - Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - linkYes, they either need to give it enough functionality or have at minimum an electrical x4 slot (x16 physical).
PCI-e 2.0 x4 is probably just fine for this processor.
They should make the next-gen Atom a 3 core, I think it wouldn't make that much heat or use too much power.
That or make the cores it uses more powerful, but I got the impression that the Atom was maxed out at in its current form (in-order). Reply

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/5/2013 (1548 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
After a solid month of wall-to-wall press briefings and media interviews during the resignation of one pope and the election of another, Father Thomas Rosica might be forgiven if he never wants to speak to another reporter.
But the experience of being the English spokesman for the Vatican press office during 30 crazy days in February and March has convinced Rosica of the value of more contact with journalists, not less.
"It forged a new relationship with the media," Rosica says in a telephone interview, referring to the intense international media coverage during the papal conclave, which resulted in Jorge Mario Bergoglio being elected Pope Francis I on March 13.
"The key to doing all of this is that it's part of a bigger picture, which is evangelization."
Rosica will share his perspectives on that bigger picture with Roman Catholics attending the Saint Boniface diocesan gathering (www.archsaintboniface.ca) next weekend. He presents the main address at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 31 at St. Boniface Cathedral and speaks again at 10:50 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday, June 1.
"It's far easier to be talking church (language), talking the insider language, but the story needs to be told to the outsider," says Rosica, 54, who estimates he did at least 165 interviews in English, French and German while in Rome, and several more since returning to Canada.
Not only did Rosica rush to Rome from Toronto to assist his longtime friend Rev. Federico Lombardi in the Holy See Press office, he also helped changed the nature of the media coverage by providing context and background for smoke signals, conclaves and other ancient Roman Catholic rituals.
"The Vatican tried a new thing. If we did not provide enough information, people would fill the void with something else," explains Rosica, CEO of the Toronto-based Salt and Light Media Foundation, the first Catholic television network in Canada.
"We became a teaching moment. The relationships established were very, very good."
That teaching moment has stretched to his ongoing role as the Vatican contact for American television stations such as CBS, ABC and CNN. He also continues his work with Salt and Light as well as serving as president of Assumption College in Windsor, Ont.
He brushes off suggestions of being overloaded by saying he has good staff at both the college and the television network, and turns the conversation instead to the importance of transparent and open communication, which includes not shying away from difficult issues.
"That's one of the things we were insistent upon in the conclave period," says Rosica, who recently spoke to religious reporters and editors at the Canadian Church Press meetings in Toronto.
"We talked about the bad stuff. We talked about it very openly."
Whether it is bad stuff or good news, Rosica urges religious organizations to learn how to communicate to the public in an understandable way. In the Catholic world, that might mean sending diocesan leaders back to school to understand communications, for what Rosica calls a formation program.
"We need a whole art of communicating. We need not to be cheerleaders, not to be PR people, but to tell the story," Rosica says.
"Not to be reactive, but proactive."
That's good advice, whether someone is explaining the intricacies of a papal election to reporters or articulating deeply held beliefs to neighbours and colleagues, says a communications and media instructor at Canadian Mennonite University.
"We need a higher level of commitment to an authentic way of speaking about our faith and to find the vocabulary that would communicate with our public," explains David Balzer.
For the 115,000 Roman Catholics in the eastern part of Manitoba, the diocesan gathering is an opportunity to learn more about communicating the faith, especially after all the public interest in the new pope, says Archbishop Albert LeGatt.
"The question for Catholics at this points is who is Jesus (Christ) for me, and what is this church I belong to, which has a new leader and a spirit of change?" says LeGatt of the two-day event, which includes workshops and worship in addition to Rosica's addresses
"It will be helping the Catholics of Saint Boniface to gain new strengths and new insights on how to share the faith."

Just like Austin Air's flagship air cleaner, the HealthMate Plus HM450 combines medical grade True HEPA filtration with granular carbon to eliminate a wide variety of contaminants, including dust, pollen, dander, odors, chemical vapors and more. However, the granular carbon is also impregnated with potassium iodide which enables the HealthMate Plus to remove additional chemicals such as formaldehyde, ammonia and other volatile organic chemicals (VOC's). This "SuperBlend" of carbon is the only difference between the HealthMate and the HealthMate Plus. The HealthMate Plus is highly recommended for those who have chemical sensitivities, or anybody looking for additional chemical absorption.
360° Progressive Filtering System
The Austin Air HealthMate Plus addresses the complete spectrum of air cleaning - removing sub-micron particles, gases, chemicals, and odors. Austin Air's 360-degree intake system draws air into all sides of the the HealthMate Plus, passing it through four filtration stages. The first stage is an outer pre-filter which traps large particles you can easily see such as dust, hair, lint, and pet dander. The pre-filter can be easily vacuumed clean from the outside of the unit, and prolongs the life of the main filter. The main filter combines three more filtration stages: A medium-particle pre-filter traps additional particles such as mold spores and pollen; A 15 lb bed of activated granular carbon/zeolite helps absorb commonly found household odors, gases, and chemicals from the air. The carbon is also impregnated with potassium iodide for additional adsorption of chemicals, including formaldehyde. The final (fourth) filter stage is a substantial 60 sq ft of certified medical-grade True HEPA filter media, which traps 99.97% of the smallest of microscopic particles down to 0.3 microns in size - particles you can't even see, including bacteria and viruses. As a result, the HealthMate Plus delivers more clean air faster and more efficiently than any other air cleaner on the market.

8 Love Lessons Women Can Learn From 'The Bachelorette'
Even if you're not a 'Bachelorette' fan, there are still a few things it can teach us about dating and relationships.
I have to admit that I'm an obsessive fan of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette franchise. Since 2003, I've watched too many crying breakdowns in limousines, steamy hot tub kisses and beautifulproposals that rarely become weddings. However, it wasn't until this season with beauty and single mom Emily Maynard that I began to realize The Bachelorette is more than just my Monday-night guilty pleasure.
Skeptics believe that The Bachelorette is fake and there's no hope for finding love on a reality show, especially with the show's success rate, or lack thereof. Well, I am going to be skeptical of the skeptics and claim that there are some universal love lessons women can learn from this show regardless of whether the couples end up together forever.
This season, the show's eighth, is also the first time we have a very levelheaded bachelorette who knows what she wants and doesn't take any crap from the men. She has already eliminated obnoxious Kalon and smooth-talking Ryan, and has kept even fan-favorite Arie on his toes. The search for love is no joke to Emily.
Read 5 Steps to Escaping an Emotionally Abusive Relationship
For every season of The Bachelorette, here are eight love lessons the show has taught us:
1. Make a lasting first impression. The first impression rose is one of the most important roses handed out on the show. The man who receives this rose will usually stick around for a long time. So make a lasting impression the next time you're interested in someone, so you can stay in his life. (But I wouldn't suggest bringing an egg, a glass slipper or your grandma to the first date!)
2. Date a few men at a time — at least at first. This might seem overwhelming as a typical dater, but it's actually beneficial. You can go on a variety of different dates, compare your suitors and determine which guy is the right one for you. Then you can start seriouslydating the one who's right for you, just like our bachelorettes. It also makes you seem and feel wanted, which men naturally love. Just make sure you choose a guy and tell the others goodbye before it's too late.
3. A little physical activity, with a mix of competition, goes a long way. For the past few seasons of The Bachelorette we have seen oil wrestling, boxing and the Highland Games; it seems to me that the producers know how to keep these men interested. To keep your guy on his toes, do an activity together that you know he will love. Whether you do this as a couple or with a group of friends, it will keep all his muscles — including his heart — working.
Read the rest here!

A combination of Kung-fu, a Chinese martial art; and Confucius, a Chinese philosopher. It is a diss aimed toward fellow yellows to tell each other they have no skill. In rare occasions it expresses admiration toward one Asian and is used as a proper noun. It is pronounced with an Asian accent, while still keeping a gangster-ness to it. It is used most often within a crowd of Asians (AZN) or by a White person who has no clue what they're saying and thinks they're Asian and/or Black.
Brian: Yo you ain't got no Kung-fu Shiss. What you tryin' to prove?
Mr.Cho: ...

PLANS for the first phase of a £5 million revamp of York Racecourse have been handed in.
The project, scheduled to take place in stages, is designed to improve facilities for racegoers, horses and jockeys.
The venue's bosses say the scheme is necessary to ensure the city "continues to attract some of the world's best racing".
A planning application for the first section of work at the northern end of the course has been submitted to City of York Council. A decision on whether it can go ahead could be made next month.
The plan involves moving the pre-parade ring, demolishing a perimeter wall and creating new saddling boxes and a new washdown area for horses. The aim is to carry out the work between the end of this year's racing season and the start of the 2014 calendar.
Future phases of the redevelopment will include a new weigh-in building, with the existing facilities for weighing horses being converted into space for racegoers, possibly including a new restaurant.
Improvements would also be carried out to the listed John Carr Building and paddock area, while the track's Moet Champagne Building would be revamped.
The Racecourse says gaining permission for the initial stage of the project would pave the way for further planning applications and allow more time to draw up detailed proposals for the next phases.
A statement to the council by Phelan Architects, who have designed the scheme, reads: "To ensure York remains one of the country's best and most regarded racecourses, it is essential it continues to evolve and develop."
"In particular, it is important the equine facilities on offer meet the expectations and requirements of the owners, trainers and jockeys of the world's highest-rated thoroughbreds, so they continue to choose to race at York."
The firm said the Racecourse's paddock area was currently "less than ideal" because of congestion among horses and "a large number of people milling around a confined space".
It said there had been no major accidents stemming from spectators being near the paddock, but there had been "several near- misses" and this needed to be addressed.
The application said moving the pre-parade ring would ultimately create more space for the Racecourse's champagne lawns and allow the northern entrance, on to Knavesmire Road, to be improved and new facilities for owners and trainers to be built.

Tesla's Statement on NHTSA's Report
At Tesla, the safety of our customers comes first, and we appreciate the thoroughness of NHTSA's report and its conclusion.
Building the Supercharger Network for the Future
Tesla created the Supercharger network to make long-distance travel a seamless experience for drivers. Cars have always represented independence and the freedom to travel wherever and whenever people want to go. To enable this freedom, building a charging network that provides quick, convenient, and long-distance travel is critical to the adoption of electric vehicles. One of our top priorities this year is to significantly increase capacity of our Supercharger network.
Welcome Chris Lattner
We would like to welcome Chris Lattner, who will join Tesla as our Vice President of Autopilot Software. Chris's reputation for engineering excellence is well known. He comes to Tesla after 11 years at Apple where he was primarily responsible for creating Swift, the programming language for building apps on Apple platforms and one of the fastest growing languages for doing so on Linux. Prior to Apple, Chris was lead author of the LLVM Compiler Infrastructure, an open source umbrella project that is widely used in commercial products and academic research today.
Battery Cell Production Begins at the Gigafactory
Tesla's mission is to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy through increasingly affordable electric vehicles in addition to renewable energy generation and storage. At the heart of these products are batteries. Today at the Gigafactory, Tesla and Panasonic begin mass production of lithium-ion battery cells, which will be used in Tesla's energy storage products and Model 3.
Tesla and Panasonic Will Begin Manufacturing Solar Cells and Modules in Buffalo, NY
Tesla and Panasonic have finalized an agreement this week to begin the manufacturing of photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules at the Buffalo, NY factory. These high-efficiency PV cells and modules will be used to produce solar panels in the non-solar roof products. When production of the solar roof begins, Tesla will also incorporate Panasonic's cells into the many kinds of solar glass tile roofs that Tesla will be manufacturing. All of these solar products will work seamlessly with Tesla's energy storage products, Powerwall and Powerpack. Production of the first PV modules will begin in summer 2017, and will ramp to 1 Gigawatt of module production by 2019.
Improving Supercharger Availability
We designed the Supercharger network to enable a seamless, enjoyable road trip experience. Therefore, we understand that it can be frustrating to arrive at a station only to discover fully charged Tesla cars occupying all the spots. To create a better experience for all owners, we're introducing a fleet-wide idle fee that aims to increase Supercharger availability.
Tesla's Acquisition of SolarCity Receives Shareholder Approval
Tesla's shareholders have overwhelmingly approved our acquisition of SolarCity. Excluding the votes of Elon and other affiliated shareholders, more than 85% of shares voted were cast in favor of the acquisition. With SolarCity's shareholders also having approved the acquisition, the transaction will be completed in the coming days.
Tesla Owners in Germany
In response to Germany's Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA)'s suggestion that using the name "Autopilot" is misleading, we worked with a third-party to survey Tesla owners in Germany to better understand how they perceive Autopilot.
Model X Wins the Golden Steering Wheel
Today, we are truly honored to announce that Model X has been awarded the Golden Steering Wheel (Das Goldene Lenkrad), one of the most prestigious automotive awards in the world. Candidates for this award are nominated by hundreds of thousands across Europe for excellence across six categories. The Golden Steering Wheel jury, composed of professional race car drivers, accomplished technicians, editors, designers, and digital and connectivity experts, then spent three days judging Model X.
Formation of Tesla Advanced Automation Germany
Accelerating a sustainable energy future is only possible with high-volume factories. They allow us to manufacture high-quality products with economies of scale, making them more affordable and accessible to the world. As the machine that builds the machine, our factories are so important that we believe they will ultimately deserve an order of magnitude more attention in engineering than what they produce. At very high production volumes, the factory becomes more of a product than the product itself.

Pet overpopulation, abandonment and neglect are unfortunate issues that Richard Massa knows only too well.
The retired San Diego City College dean is president of the Friends of Humane Society de Tijuana, a nonprofit group that has been working since 2007 to help both animals and people in the communities that border San Diego.
The group educates the public and offers spay and neutering surgeries, parasite control programs and street rescues. It also works toward the prevention of international smuggling of animals.
The group has no shelter but is armed with eight dedicated Mexican veterinarians and four American vets, nearly 80 volunteers and a mobile clinic. Massa says the Friends of HSTJ is making strides to bring important change to Mexico for the sake of animals.
" 'Why do you do it?' We hear that all the time," says Massa, an upbeat and dedicated 74-year-old and Ohio native who moved from Jamul to Playas de Tijuana to start the group seven years ago. "We cannot help all of the animals, but we can help one at a time. And that's how we're going to solve the problem."
The statistics are grim: On any given day, Massa says 7,000 animals are loose on the streets of Tijuana, a city with 1.4 million people. Many of these roaming dogs and cats are starving, ill and frightened.
While Mexico's government does not keep statistics on the country's animal population, the Humane Society de Tijuana estimates there is an average of one companion animal for each household.
How ever many there are, Massa says it is rare that these animals are spayed or neutered. He estimates that fewer than 1 percent receive professional veterinary care.
In 2012, the group's veterinarians performed 557 low-cost and free spay/neuter surgeries, and provided free services for 3,626 pets of the poor and street animals, treating them for parasites, infections, mange and malnutrition. Volunteers also were able to dole out 100,000 pounds of donated pet food to animals in need.
They also supported individual rescuers helping 245 animals with free food, basic medication and spay/neuter surgeries, which resulted in 157 pet adoptions in Mexico. The group was able to place 43 rescued pets in permanent homes in the San Diego area.
"By rescuing one animal, you will not change the whole world, but for that animal you have changed his whole world," Massa said.
The group is a major participant in city, state and federal meetings to reform dog pound conditions and work on humane legislation.
"The most important thing for us right now is to bring about a change," Massa said. "The attitude toward spay and neuter is more positive than it's ever been."
How you can help
The Friends of Humane Society de Tijuana is in dire need of donations and sponsorships to continue its work, according to the group's president, Richard Massa.

Chinese 101. Elementary Chinese I
This course provides the first-time learner basic knowledge and skills in Chinese. We utilize the Pin-Yin system to enable us to recognize Chinese sounds. Next, an introduction to spoken and written modern Chinese. We also introduce written simplified characters.
There are three objectives for this class: speaking and listening, reading and writing, and Chinese culture. First is the speaking and listening skill. The hope is that students will use Chinese as a means of communication. Students are encouraged to take any opportunity to develop the speaking and listening skill. Next is reading and writing; by the end of the year, students will be able to read a short article such as a personal ad, a job announcement, or movie listings. For writing, students will learn to put into writing what they have already learned to express orally. The final, and perhaps most important, objective of the course is to gain an understanding of the wide variety of nuances of the Chinese culture.

Feds, Transocean reach $1.4B deal over Gulf spill
The Justice Department has reached a $1.4 billion settlement with Transocean Ltd., the owner of the drilling rig that sank after an explosion killed 11 workers and spawned the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The proposed settlement resolves the department's civil and criminal probes of Transocean's role in the Deepwater Horizon rig disaster. It requires the Switzerland-based company to pay $1 billion in civil penalties and $400 million in criminal penalties and plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating the Clean Water Act, according to a court filing.
The deal, which is subject to a federal judge's approval, also calls for Transocean to implement a series of operational safety and emergency response improvements on its rigs.
Much of the $1.4 billion will fund environmental restoration projects and spill-prevention research and training.

Toyota Texas Bass Classic Field Takes Shape
ATHENS—We're into the final stretch for anglers to qualify for this year's Toyota Texas Bass Classic on Lake Conroe October 28—30, and it's going to be a showdown on all three tours.
This month has three major tournaments on the three tours that send pros to the annual TTBC: the Professional Anglers Association Tournament Series, the Bassmaster Elite Series and the Walmart FLW Tour. It's getting to be crunch time!
Before we take a look at the tours and current standings, let's look at the TTBC and qualification process. The event is set this year the final week of October on Lake Conroe northwest of Houston. It is the only unification event in professional bass fishing and brings together 50 of the best anglers from the PAA, B.A.S.S. and FLW circuits.
The tournament is the world championship of professional bass fishing. No other tournament combines the top pros from the top circuits. After the PAA, B.A.S.S. and FLW tour-level seasons are over, the top 15 anglers in each league's point standings receive invitations to compete. If invitations are declined or there are double-qualifiers—many B.A.S.S. and FLW pros compete in the PAA events—the positions will be filled until 45 anglers are confirmed. The defending champion, Brian Snowden of Missouri, receives an automatic invitation, and four other anglers are invited through special TTBC exemptions.
These 50 pros compete for two full days before the field is cut to the top 10 for the final day. This format ensures high-caliber competition with every pro working hard to make it to the final day, and then a final-day shootout for the TTBC world championship title.
Stretch run
Going into the final events of the three leagues' seasons, the point standings chases are tight with just a few tournaments remaining to determine Angler of the Year titles and TTBC qualification.
The Bassmaster Elite Series wrapped up its season on Wheeler Lake in north Alabama on June 20 and was the first to establish its final points list.
The Walmart FLW Tour just completed a slamfest at Kentucky Lake, which meant bass out on deep ledges. FLW had to reschedule an event from earlier in the year due to weather and will wrap up its season in mid-July on Pickwick Lake in Alabama. That will be an incredible tournament. So there's still some shuffling to come in the FLW points chase.
Also this month, the PAA Tournament Series is on Table Rock Lake in Missouri for its second event of the year. Its opener was in late March and, with scheduling amenable to the pros so they don't overlap with the Elite and FLW seasons, the second event and the final tournament in August on Neely Henry Lake in Alabama, give the anglers two final opportunities in summer to qualify for the TTBC.
Point Standings
Here's a look at the current point standings, in order from 1-15, in each league, with the top 15 and "bubble" (15-25) pros listed. Anglers on the bubble, in 15th-25th places, could move into qualifying contention in the next two tournaments in each league.
The Bassmaster Elite Series season wrapped up June 20 on Wheeler Lake in Alabama, so the top 15 pros are set in that league. Depending on who accepts their invitations, the names listed below are those who automatically receive invitations to the TTBC.
- Elite Series: Kevin VanDam, Edwin Evers, Gerald Swindle, Ott Defoe, Steve Kennedy, Terry Scroggins, Casey Ashley, Davy Hite, Alton Jones, Keith Poche, Greg Vinson, Chris Lane, Randy Howell, Dean Rojas and Keith Combs
- FLW Tour: Brent Ehrler, Tom Monsoor, Mark Rose, Jason Christie, Stacey King, Wes Strader, Andy Morgan, Mike Reynolds, Bryan Thrift, Scott Martin, Darrell Robertson, Stetson Blaylock, Dave Lefebre and Jay Yelas
- Bubble pros: Shin Fukae, Shad Schenck, Rob Kilby, Koby Kreiger, Luke Clausen, Mike Auten, Cody Meyer, Brett Hite, Cody Bird, Terry Bolton
- PAA Tournament Series: Paul Marks, Derek Remitz, Todd Auten, Aaron Martens, Tom Mann Jr., John Murray, David Hendrick, Nick Larson, Takahiro Omori, Doc Seger, Shin Fukae, Chris Brasher, Tommy Biffle, Troy Morrow and Brett Hite
- Bubble pros: Douglas Jones, Lance Vick, Mike McClelland, Cody Bird, Kevin Hawk, Gary Clouse, Rusty Saleswke, Jared Lintner, David Smith and Joey Nania.
A minimum of $250,000 from the event will go toward a donation to benefit Texas Parks and Wildlife Department programs. In the past four years the Toyota Texas Bass Classic has provided $1 million to help fund TPWD programs like the Neighborhood Fishin' Program, the Texas State-Fish Art Contest and other youth and urban fishing and outreach efforts.

Topic: just got home from the hospital
Hi All,
John and I are home after 8 days in the hospital. He had nasuea, vomiting, and diarrhea with no fever. There was also some blood in the vomit and diarrhea. We had two sets of doctors, the onocology doctors and the gastrointestinal doctors. Unfortunatly, the two groups could not agree on almost anything. One group says its a stomach virus, the other group says its a side effect of the oxaliplatin. In the end they never did agree. However, they did do a EGD scope to check for bleeding vericies, and then a cholenoscopy to check for any bleeding. He also received all total 4 units of blood because he ia anemic. All through this John had terrible stomach and intestinal pain. They gave him oxycodine and morphine before the pain would let him get some much needed sleep. Friday before we were discharged they took his weight. Between Thursday morning and Friday morning John's weight went from 217lbs to 231lbs. Its all in his stomach, he is so bloated he can't ever bend over and take his shoes and socks off. He said it didn't feel like gas but something with more substance.
Does anybody have any idea what it could be? We aren't scheduled for a doctors visit until Wednesday. Do you think he'll be ok till then or should we call the doctors weekend service? I'm worried he didn't sleep well last night because of pain. He is finally sleeping now because of the pain meds.

1. Re: Can't send e-mail messages from my iphoneSammuelP Aug 4, 2011 1:27 AM (in response to gsheppard)
@gsheppard I can understand how it can be frustrating not to send out email. The error message that you are receiving indicates that the out going server settings are incorrect. The in coming server setting are correct that is why you can receive and out going server settings are wrong which is why you can not send out. The best way to get this resolved would be to contact your email provider and get the correct outgoing server settings. Hope this helps. Thanks.
2. Re: Can't send e-mail messages from my iphonerpatexcel Apr 4, 2012 5:41 AM (in response to SammuelP)
I am having the same problem, but it only occurs when I am away from the office. When in office, everything is fine, but when away, I get the same message. When returning to office, iphone hits office wifi and those copies in outbox are sent. This leads me to believe the outgoing setting is correct, but only for when I'm on the office wifi. Any suggestions as to how to fix this issue?? Thanks.
3. Re: Can't send e-mail messages from my iphoneSeriouslyLainey Apr 4, 2012 1:22 PM (in response to rpatexcel)
This sounds like a connectivity issue, and can be solved with a change in your settings:
-Cellular Data - Be sure it's turned "On".
If this setting is in the "Off" position, then data is restricted to Wi-Fi ONLY...so outgoing data will be sent only when you're connected to Wi-Fi.
Hope this helps.

Hello rpatexcel! Thanks to the community for your input. Especially to SeriouslyLainey who provided great information about checking your wireless connection. I'm confident that this should resolve the issue you are having.

Thanks, I hope it was helpful info. I'm currently in the process of converting 100+ BB's to iPhones at my work - so I'm also handling many user issues right now. I also use the community to see the common issues, then work to resolve them so I'm better prepared should I see it in my workplace.
6. Re: Can't send e-mail messages from my iphoneSeriouslyLainey Apr 6, 2012 12:58 PM (in response to Verizon Wireless Customer Support)
Chauncey - How about you mark my answer "Correct" - since SammuelP's response actually isn't...
7. Re: Can't send e-mail messages from my iphonelindabmom3 Apr 11, 2012 8:38 AM (in response to SeriouslyLainey)
My outgoing email settings is correct according to TDS web site. They use gmail as their outgoing server but I still can't send email from my phone on the ONE account. Everything else works fine. Help
8. Re: Can't send e-mail messages from my iphoneSeriouslyLainey Apr 27, 2012 1:45 PM (in response to lindabmom3)
@ lindabmom3: If you've checked your settings (as in my previous reply) to ensure that you can send email via cellular data, my next suggestion would be to delete the email account that's having an issue, then reinstall. I believe that gmail has a standard set up, which should allow you to simply enter your user name and password for installation.

Make your document accessible
When you create a document with Google Docs, follow the tips below to make sure your document is readable by everyone, including people with disabilities.
Google Docs accessibility
Google Docs is designed to work well with screen readers and other assistive technologies. The built-in features below can make your document easier to read.
- Headings: If you use headings to divide your document into sections, your document is easier for people to navigate, particularly if they rely on keyboard shortcuts. You can use the default heading styles or create your own. Learn how to add and customize headings.
- Lists: It's usually easier to read bulleted or numbered lists than long sentences with embedded lists. Google Docs can automatically detect certain kinds of lists. For example, if you start a new line in your document by typing the number 1 followed by a period, the new line automatically becomes the first item in a numbered list. Learn how to format bulleted and numbered lists.
- Alt text: Include alternative text for images, drawings, and other graphics. Otherwise, screen reader users just hear "image." Some images automatically include alt text, so it's a good idea to verify that this automatic alt text is what you want. To add or edit alt text, first select the image, then go to Format > Alt text. Enter alt text in the Description field.
- Tables: Use tables for presenting data, not for visually changing the page layout. Also, be sure to include headers within tables, since screen readers automatically read the first row as the header row. Here's a tip: To insert a table quickly, press Alt + / to search the menus, then type the dimensions (for example, 3x5).
- Landmarks: Landmarks such as headers, footers, page numbers, and page counts (all in the Insert menu) help your readers orient themselves in your document. To maximize accessibility, include one or more of these landmarks, especially in long documents.
- Comments and suggestions: Use the commenting and suggesting features instead of writing notes within the document text. Screen reader users can navigate to comments using keyboard shortcuts rather than hunting through your document. The document owner can also receive email notifications or review comment threads.
Other tips for making documents easy to read
Along with using the built-in Google Docs features listed above, you can design the content of your document to make it easier to read for everyone.
- Color contrast: Good color contrast makes text and images easier to read and comprehend. Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 recommend a minimum ratio of 3:1 for large text and 4.5:1 for other text and images. For example, avoid light gray text on a white background. To check contrast, use the WebAIM contrast checker.
- Text size: To make your document legible, avoid using a small font.
- Sentence and paragraph length: To make sure your document is clear and readable, keep sentences and paragraphs short.
- Text alignment: Whenever possible, use left-aligned text. Justified text is more difficult to read because of extra space between the words. To change to left-aligned text, press Control + Shift + L (Windows or Chrome OS) or ⌘ + Shift + L (Mac).
- Formatting plus text: Don't rely on visual formatting to communicate meaning. Screen readers might not announce formatting changes, such as boldface or highlighting. For example, to mark an important section of text, don't simply highlight the text. Along with highlighting, add the word "Important."
- Informative links: Screen readers can scan for links, so informative link text is helpful. It's best to use the title of the page as the linked text. For example, if you're linking to your profile page, the link text should say "my profile," not "click here" or the full URL.
Google Slides HTML view
- HTML view displays your whole presentation in a single, scrollable HTML page, instead of displaying the presentation one slide at a time in the regular presentation view. This is a helpful feature if your audience includes people who use screen readers, and you'd like to make the text more accessible to them.
- To access a presentation in HTML view, go to the View menu and select HTML View. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + H (Cmd + Option + H on a Mac).

Ronald McDonald House | Charge for a Cure
PHILADELPHIA - During the holiday season, the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team spent time at a local Ronald McDonald House which supports families of seriously ill children by creating a community of comfort and hope.
The Quakers spent several hours with the families at the Ronald McDonald House. The players and coaches helped serve breakfast and ate with the children and their familes, and then spent a few hours playing with the kids and talking with their parents.
The Quakers are also raising money this season through the third annual Charge for a Cure program. Money is raised with every charge the Quakers take during the 2012-13 season. In the program's first two years, 109 gracious donors joined the cause and helped the Quakers raise nearly $7,000. To join the team in Charge for a Cure, contact assistant coach Kara Cassidy at email@example.com.
Combined with other initiatives, including the Pink Zone game and the 'Pack the House' Challenge, the Quakers have raised more than $12,000 over the past two seasons.
On the court, Penn has won six of its last eight gams and is set to take on Morgan State in a basketball doubleheader at the Palestra on Tuesday. The women tip at 5 p.m., and the Penn men take on Lafayette at 7:30 p.m. Fans with a ticket to the men's game can attend the women's game for free.

PHILADELPHIA - The score doesn't always tell the story. But it sure is accurate in this case. The University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team was every bit as dominant as the 29-point victory would indicate. The Quakers trounced first-place and previously unbeaten Harvard, 67-38, at The Palestra on Saturday night - the largest margin of victory in series history for the Quakers.
Penn (12-5, 2-1 Ivy), which put on a show for a number of former Quakers who were back in Philadelphia for the program's annual Alumni Weekend, has won four straight and 12 of its last 15. Harvard lost its first Ivy game of the season and fell to 13-5 overall and 3-1 in league play. That has caused a bottleneck atop the Ivy standings. Every team has at least one loss.
It was a complete team effort as the Quakers cluttered the box score. But we'll get to the offensive numbers - highlighted junior Kara Bonenberger's double-double and freshman Sydney Stipanovich's near triple-double - this one was about a dominant defensive effort.
Dominating Defense
Harvard entered the game second in the Ivy League in scoring, field goal percentage, three-point percentage and rebounding margin. On Saturday...
...The Quakers, who had never before held Harvard under 50 points in Ivy play, kept the Crimson to 38 points in 40 minutes - more than 30 points below their season scoring average.
...The Crimson shot at a 43 percent clip entering the game, including 35 percent from three, but Penn held Harvard to 18.3 percent (13-of-71) from the field and 5-of-28 (17.9%) from three.
...Penn outrebounded the Crimson, 55-45. Entering the game, Harvard had outrebounded opponents by an average of eight per game.
Stipanovich had much to do with all of that. She had nine blocks - which tied for third-most in an Ivy League game and broke the school record she set exactly one week earlier.
Outstanding Offense
Offensively, the Quakers showed incredible depth. Five players scored in double figures led by Stipanovich, who filled the stat sheet again for the Quakers. She finished with a game-high 15 points to go with nine rebounds. In addition to her program-record nine blocked shots, she nearly became the first Penn player to ever record a triple-double.
Senior guard Meghan McCullough was one rebound shy of her first career double-double and added 11 points and a game-high five assists. Senior guard Alyssa Baron also added 11 points and scored the 1,600th point of her career - just the fourth Penn player and 21st Ivy Leaguer to ever do so. She was joined by junior guard Renee Busch, who also had 11 off the bench behind three first-half threes. Not to be outdone, junior forward Kara Bonenberger rounded out the Quakers in double figures with 10 points, registering her second double-double of the season with 12 rebounds in addition to two blocks.
Penn shot better than 50 percent in the second half and was 20-of-55 (36.4%) overall and 6-of18 (33.3%) from three.
How it Happened
Penn's defense set the tone early. Harvard had just six points in the first 10 minutes of the game. But the Quakers struggled during that time as well. Penn started 1-for-11 from the field and it was just a two-point game, 8-6.
Busch proved to be the spark for the Red and Blue. She buried two straight threes and the Quakers opened up a 14-9 edge at the 7:05 mark. A few minutes later, with Penn up seven, Busch swished another three for a 21-11 lead.
Harvard closed to within 21-14 at the break, but it still marked the fewest points Penn has allowed at the half this year.
It was a nine-point game, 27-18, three minutes into the second stanza when Baron, Stipanovich and Bonenberger scored consecutively to give the Quakers their largest lead, 33-18.
That grew to 20 when two senior captains and a freshman sent The Palestra crowd into a frenzy. McCullough crossed over her defender, who fell down, and McCullough promptly knocked down a three. Then after another Stipanovich block, Baron hit a three of her own for a 41-21 lead with 12:28 to go.
Harvard briefly got the lead down to 16 with 7:03 to play, but an 11-0 run put a cap on an impressive night. McCullough and Stipanovich combined for had nine points in that stretch and Penn led 57-30 at the 3:40 mark. The largest lead of the game was the final margin.
Other Notables
- This is the second straight home sweep of Harvard and Dartmouth. Penn had only done that once before in its history (1984-85).
- This marks Penn's first back-to-back home wins over Harvard since 1999-2001.
- Stipanovich's nine blocks are the fifth-most by an Ivy Leaguer in any game (league and non-conference).
- Penn's 11 total blocks tied a team record that has been set four times, most recently against Norfolk State on Jan. 5.
- Penn's 55 rebounds is a team record under Coach McLaughlin.
- Penn has had five players score in double figures in two of the last three games and four players have done so in three straight games.
- The annual Red vs. Blue alumni game took place Saturday afternoon and actually ended in a tie, 45-45. The Red and Blue teams had split victories the previous two years.
Up Next
Its the first Ivy League road trip of the season. Penn takes the tour through the Empire State with a stop in Ithaca, N.Y., on Friday to take on Cornell, and then on to New York City to face Columbia. Both games tip off at 7 p.m. and can be seen on the Ivy League Digital Network.
