With speeds starting at 25 mph and your only protection a Tupperware grade helmet, there is virtually no margin of error while entrenched in a herd of riders.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Bebe Stores (BEBE) was rising 18.18% to $5.59 on Friday afternoon after the women's apparel retailer reported a smaller-than-expected loss in its second-quarter results and reported revenue that beat analysts' estimates.
The company noted a loss of seven cents a share on revenue of $130 million, which beat the analysts' expectations of a 14 cent loss per share on revenue of $121.3 million, according to FactSet.
Bebe also reported that same-store sales in establishments open at least a year fell 1.9% in the second quarter compared to a 2.8% drop in the first quarter. This is a critical measure in gauging a retailer's status because it does not include results from stores that recently opened or closed.
"We are encouraged by the sequential improvement we experienced in the second quarter, especially during Black Friday weekend and the month of December," said CEO Steve Birkhold in the company's statement. "December continued the sequential improvement with positive comparable store sales, as we saw a favorable response to the new merchandise and an increase in traffic, despite declining mall traffic and an aggressive promotional environment across the industry."
TheStreet Ratings team rates BEBE STORES INC as a "sell" with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate BEBE STORES INC (BEBE) a SELL. This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity, weak operating cash flow and feeble growth in its earnings per share."

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
A spouse is generally not responsible for the debts of a deceased spouse unless the debts were incurred jointly during the marriage (so long as the married couple never resided in a community property state).
The estate is responsible for the deceased's debts. But since the spouse typically inherits the estate, as a practical matter, the surviving spouse's inheritance is diminished due to the debts of the deceased spouse.
However, there is a common law called "necessaries doctrine" that has held husbands in Florida liable for debts incurred to support their wife. As in all legal matters, you will have to consult an attorney in order to get a legal opinion that can be applied to your specifc facts and circumstances.
I hope this information is helpful.

The Oakland Raiders received a major boost with the return of wide receiver Rod Streater to practice Wednesday. Streater had missed some time with a concussion and had to complete the NFL protocol before returning. That has occurred and Streater was back on the field working, needing only a few days to recover.
"Nah. I'm not foggy," Streater said. "I just had to go through the whole process with the concussion thing. It wasn't too serious, it was a minor one. A little headache. But I'm back out there."
With Streater's return, the Raiders offense is continuing to gel and make progress. The passing game never consistently produced in 2013, averaging only 208.8 yards per game. The additions to the offense this offseason, including quarterback Matt Schaub, has given the Raiders a deeper pool of talent and Streater is seeing the results.
"Compared to where we were last year, it's looking way better," Streater said of the offense. "This two-minute drill ended with a touchdown. So I think we're way ahead of where we were last year. We took the time at the OTAs and mini-camp to stay around, throw a little bit, and right before this camp in July we threw a little bit. So I felt like the timing is way better than it's been."
Streater has progressed quickly in two seasons in Oakland. Last year, he had his best season as a pro leading the Raiders in receptions with 64, receiving yards with 888, and first down catches with 39. He will get the opportunity to continue his ascension in the Raiders passing game this season with all the experience he has gained.
"Yeah, I feel confident, I feel like all the work we did this offseason really helped me," Streater said. "I've been working really hard, just on and off the field, learning the game. Just experience and playing two years in the National Football League, I felt like I learned a lot. So this year I feel like I can go out there and be confident and play fast and hard."

Epson Stylus Photo R2400

- Page 2 Epson Stylus Photo R2400
- Page 3 Feature Table
- Page 4 Print Speeds & Running Costs
Key Features
- Review Price: £504.00
Printing anything larger than A4 can cost a lot of money. Large format printers start at around £1,000 and rise steeply from there. There is an intermediary path though. If but don't need A2 or bigger and only want to go up to A3+ – A3 prints with full bleed then Epson's Stylus Photo R2400 is a versatile medium format machine. It can handle sheet, roll and thick media of up to 1.3mm, which makes it suitable for small signage.
As you might expect, this is a wide printer, over 0.6m, and with all its trays open, it's over 0.7m deep, too. The tray's fold out from top and front and the front tray, which has to support the full length of A3+ paper, has a cleverly sprung telescopic design.
Under the smoked plastic top is a large head carrier with slots for the eight ink cartridges the printer can take. These include optional matte or photo black, depending on whether you're printing glossy photos or on watercolour or other matte papers – the cartridges automatically re-seal, so you can swap them at any stage. There are three different blacks, with Matte or Photo Black, Light Black and Light Light Black; what we in the trade normally refer to as 'grey'. They improve the quality of greyscale images and help ensure neutral greyscales, with little colour casting. Epson refers to these inks as UltraChrome K3.
There's no display panel on the printer and just four buttons for manual control. Nearly all settings come from the comprehensive driver, which includes watermarks, multi-page per sheet printing, manual duplexing and colour by colour settings, if you need them. There are also overall colour match settings for Epson and Adobe RGB.
At the back are sockets for USB 2.0 and Firewire connections, so the printer is happy working with both PC and Mac hosts.
Setting up the Stylus Photo R2400 is very similar to working on a smaller printer, except that there are eight ink cartridges to insert in the head carrier. Epson has thoughtfully provided a series of flashing indicators, so when you come to replace a cartridge that's run low, it shows the position of the tank than needs replacing.
There are three ways of feeding paper through the Stylus Photo R2400. The conventional sheet feed from the back can take paper from 15 x 10cm up to A3+ and feeds onto the front tray. Alternatively, you can fit the supplied roll-paper holders to the back of the machine and feed it through to the front. The printer doesn't cut prints automatically from the roll when they're complete. You have to cut along the dotted line printed on the roll, which can be awkward.

Eight questions for John Nagy
John Nagy—hobbit, Carthusian, Baltimore Oriole wannabe—responds wonderfully to the UMag questionnaire.
How long have you been a writer?
I won a statewide high school essay writing contest and was so disturbed by the sense that I'd said all I had to say at age 17 that I put my pen down (it was blue felt-tip and a yellow legal pad in those days, see #4) and didn't pick it up again until life required it 10 years later. That was the day I got three job offers and went home to learn that my wife was pregnant with our first child. The writing job, covering transportation policy and the environment for Stateline.org in Washington, D.C., was the one that offered comprehensive health insurance. Game on.
Of all the things you have to do to produce a story in the magazine, what do you enjoy the most?
The day after the agony that is getting started, trying to transform days, weeks, or months of reporting into something true that will snag minds and hearts. From then on, it's shaping, crafting, clarifying, and making those connections that had been stuck upstairs for so long and now are down on the floor where I can play with them.
What has proven to be your biggest challenge?
Introversion and institutional politics. I'm a hobbit—give me an adventure, but hold the dragons. For a guy who dislikes conflict and tension as much as I do, I picked an odd profession.
For interviews, notepad or recorder? For writing, legal pad, typewriter, or computer?
Once upon a time I read guitar magazines where they'd get the rockers to talk about their equipment. Like, Geddy Lee plays a Rickenbacker 4001 bass through a pair of Ampeg SVTs? Cool! I should, too, and then maybe I will rock like Geddy! I've never comparison-shopped for the tools of my own work and no one has ever even joked that they'd like to write like me, but what I've fallen into is a both/and on Notepad v. Recorder and a choice between the desktop in my cube or my laptop at South Bend's fine Main Street Coffee House for the writing. The Mennonites who own and run that place put something in the icing on the carrot cake that really opens the mind.
What do you wish you were better at?
Getting off my chair, cultivating sources, listening, asking good follow-ups, abstract reasoning, poetry, public speaking, distinguishing inside voices from outside voices, comedic timing, zingers, photography, multitasking, novel writing, hardball, and making a persuasive case to Kerry Temple to let me open a Virgin Islands bureau of Notre Dame Magazine.
What story are you proudest to have written?
My inner Carthusian, which sternly disapproves of my byline, is having a hard time with this question. I know the stories that so many of us did about the Haiti earthquake triggered some ethical introspection. In our case, I felt no qualms writing about a research program and staff whose 17-year, on-the-ground commitment combating an awful parasitic disease, lymphatic filariasis, put them in an extraordinary position to provide aid, comfort, and medical care to their city. The stories—we did two, one from campus and one from Leogane and Port-au-Prince—connected with readers and was a small part of an impressive followup effort that has faculty and alumni involved in Haiti in novel ways to this day. I'm proud just to know those people.
Who among writers have been your exemplars?
Ray Bradbury, Richard Russo. Flannery O'Connor. Gerard Manley Hopkins. Henry Taylor. We have published several pieces by an essayist named Mark Phillips who nails my heart to a tree in Western New York every single time. And then, Douglas Adams. Dave Barry. Life and death; absurdist humor.
If you weren't a writer, what would your dream job be?
Dead heat among restoration architect, brewmaster, globe trekker, slugging, Gold Glove, career first baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, and lead timpanist at the Olympics. Who doesn't want to be that guy?

U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team Qualifies for 2005 FIFA World Championship;
Tickets for Home Qualifier in Salt Lake City Go on Sale
U-17 MNT HEADS FOR THE ANDES: The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team defeated Costa Rica, 2-1, on Saturday (April 16) at the Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero in Heredia, Costa Rica, advancing to the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship. The match against Costa Rica was crucial for the U-17s, who had previously defeated El Salvador 3-0 in their first game and tied 1-1 with Cuba in their second. With four points heading into the third and final game, the team had to beat Costa Rica, who had six points, in order to finish in first place in Group A and secure a direct spot at the World Championship. Nikolas Besagno put the U.S. on the board in the 11th minute, when Blake Wagner served in the corner from the right side to the near post inside the six-yard box and the Costa Rican goalkeeper, Alfonso Quesada, reached up to snag it out of the air. With Jeremy Hall challenging in front of him, Quesada let it slip through his gloves and bounce to the back post where Besagno pounced on the loose ball and slammed it over the goal line. The U.S. doubled their lead in the 61st minute when Kevin Alston knocked the ball up the right sideline for Preston Zimmerman, who tried to get a flick on the ball but couldn't get his head to it, allowing the ball to continue on its path into the penalty area. Omar Gonzalez timed a run perfectly, getting past his defender and hitting a one-time blast past the onrushing 'keeper into the open net. It was the first international goal for both Besagno and Gonzalez. The FIFA U-17 World Championship will take place from Sept. 16 to Oct. 2 in for venues across Peru. After qualifying for the FIFA U-17 World Championship, the U.S. Under-17s will face Canada on Sunday (April 24) in Sunrise, Fla., as their northern neighbors conduct preparations for Group B of the CONCACAF Final Round Qualifying, which will take place from May 17-21 in Mexico. Haiti and Honduras will join Canada and the host for the automatic berth to the World Championship and the berth to the two-game playoff against the Costa Rica for the third and final CONCACAF berth.

BEASLEY BECOMES SECOND AMERICAN TO REACH CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMIFINALS: U.S. international midfielder DaMarcus Beasley becomes the second U.S. player in history to reach the Champions League semifinals as PSV Eindhoven slid past Olympique Lyonnais in penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time on April 13 at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven. The teams has battled to a 1-1 draw in the first leg the week before, and finished with the same result before PSV advanced with a 4-2 scoreline in the penalty phase. Jovan Kirovski is the only other American to advance to the semifinal stage of the tournament, his Borussia Dortmund side having captured the Champions League title in 1997. Kirovski was a reserve for the first leg of the semifinals, but did not appear. PSV will face AC Milan in the two-leg semifinal beginning April 26 at the San Siro in Milan, with the return leg set for May 4 in Eindhoven. "I'm very excited," Beasley told ussoccer.com.

The World Cup qualifier comes one year after the Women's National Team became the first U.S. team to play at the three-year-old Rentschler Field, topping China 3-0 in an Olympic send-off match in front of 15,093 fans on Aug. 1, 2004.

The U.S. and Trinidad & Tobago have played nine times in World Cup qualifying, with the U.S. compiling an undefeated record of seven wins and two ties. The U.S. has not surrendered a goal to Trinidad & Tobago in a home qualifier since a 1-1 tie in Torrance, Calif., on May 13, 1989, and has recorded a shutout in six of their nine overall qualifying matches.

The Football Federation of Australia moved one step closer to becoming part of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) as they were released from the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC).

The move would allow Australia to attempt to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup through the tougher Asia group, which has four direct World Cup qualifying spots and a playoff spot. Currently, the OFC winner has a playoff against a South American team in order to qualify.

"Video Killed the Radio Star" is a song that marked a profound change in the music industry, and now smartphones are doing something similar with the mobile business, taking over the good old feature phones.
That's not to say that the feature phones are to become extinct, and the Samsung Star proved just that, selling around 30 million units since its release back in 2009. Now its successor - the Samsung Star II - is announced, and it's surely hoping to find a similar degree of success.
The Samsung Star II will offer some goodies like a 3-inch screen with a WQVGA resolution (240x400) and a 3.2MP camera, as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB connectivity options.
It seems the biggest advantages of this phone are nothing else than Samsung's TouchWiz UI, which allows users to customize their experience, and the heavy social networking integration that comes preinstalled on the Star II thanks to Samsung's Social Hub.
The phone also comes preloaded with apps for Facebook and Twitter, so chances are all your social networking needs will be covered.
The phone will be available from February 2011 in Germany, followed by other European countries, CIS, South America, India and Middle East. There is no official word how much it will cost, but rumours indicate that the retail price will be around $162 (€125).

Pepsi Scolded For Continued Use Of Controversial Caramel Coloring Considered A Carcinogen In California
A couple years back, the state of California declared that a caramel coloring agent, 4-methylimidazole (or 4-MEI), was a carcinogen and said that any beverages containing certain levels of 4-MEI would have to carry a warning label. With the most populous state in the nation effectively telling them to find another coloring agent, both Coca-Cola and Pepsi promised to change their respective formulas. But while Coke has made the switch nationally, Pepsi has only stopped using 4-MEI in California, says a new report. [More]
Is Brand Perception Tricking Our Brains Into Not Thinking About What We're Tasting?
Most of us have seen hidden-camera tricks where some unwitting subject raves about what they are eating because they have been told it's a certain brand or from a well-regarded restaurant, only to find out it's a generic frozen dinner from the supermarket. What if these people aren't necessarily pretending to like the food? A new study shows that brands may make us so predisposed to an opinion that we don't use the part of our brain that helps to make such judgements. [More]

Japan's New "Pepsi Special" Claims It Can Reduce Fat So You Can Eat Crap, Be Skinny
Pepsi is trying to pull a move in Japan with a new drink called "Pepsi Special" that would probably not fly with consumer watchdogs over here in the U.S. The company is reportedly touting the beverage as one that can basically cut down on your body's fat so you can just go around chomping on burritos the size of your head and cheese fries with gravy (mmm, cheese) and still get skinny.

You can use Cloud Voice 'Do Not Disturb' to send your calls to your voicemail without any of your devices ringing. If you want, you can set up your main device to emit a short ring when the call is going directly to voicemail so that you know there'll be a message waiting for you.
Alternatively you can use Selective Call Rejection or Selective Call Acceptance to restrict those who can call you.
How do I set up Do Not Disturb?
There are three ways you can it:
Through Feature Access Codes
- Turn on - *78
- Turn off - *79
Through the Cloud Voice portal
- Login to the BT Cloud Voice portal
- Select the 'Employee' menu
- Select 'Features'
- Select 'Call Control'
- Select 'Do Not Disturb'
- Select 'Configure'
- Check the 'Turn On Do Not Disturb' box
- Click 'Save'
Through the BT Cloud Voice Toolbar
- Click DND on your BT Cloud Voice Toolbar
- Click the button to the left of the DND link to turn DND on or off
How do I set up Selective Call Rejection?
This allows you to automatically reject calls that meet your pre-defined criteria such as particular phone numbers, the time of day, and so on. Anyone calling you will hear a message saying that you cannot be reached.
BT Cloud Voice - Selective Call Rejection (PDF, 315 KB)
How do I set up Selective Call Acceptance?
You can set Cloud Voice so that at certain times, only pre-selected callers can get through to you. You can pick up to 12 numbers.
BT Cloud Voice - Selective Call Acceptance (PDF, 314 KB)
Note: You may need Adobe Reader to view PDF documents.
Common questions
Why do I still receive some calls when 'Do Not Disturb' is activated?
If automatic callback is activated by a caller then that feature will override any 'Do Not Disturb' settings and the caller won't be diverted to voicemail.
I've activated 'Do Not Disturb' from my Phone, why don't my calls go to Voicemail?
The majority of IP devices have a 'DND' button. Unfortunately this 'DND' button only affects the handset where the button was pressed - you must activate the 'Do Not Disturb' feature through the portal.

Analysis: The arrangement is contingent on the 25-year-old player avoiding legal issues for the next six months. Kane didn't speak during or after his brief appearance in a Buffalo court. Kane's lawyer says Monday's action doesn't include an admission of guilt, and Kane still denies the allegations.

Analysis: Kane crashed hard into the end boards with 11 seconds remaining in the second period of Buffalo's 4-1 loss and was taken to a hospital following the game.

Analysis: Kane is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Aug. 1. The NHL said it will monitor the legal proceedings before determining whether Kane will face disciplinary action. In March, prosecutors said after a three-month investigation that Kane would not face a sexual assault charge stemming from a December incident due to insufficient evidence.

What's happening with doug james and the pocket
2016 is proving to be the year of big changes for Doug James and The Pocket. Original guitarist Chuck Wasserburg has decided to move on to other projects. We will certainly miss his mastery of the slide guitar in our music and his sharp wit and humor. Chuck has been with us from the beginning and we've had many a great gig together and developed a great musical and personal bond. We wish him all the good fortune and happy times in the future!
Stepping up to fill his shoes is our own Blue Eyed Soul Man and bassist, Rick Demski! And that means when Rick takes of the bass for the slide guitar, none other than our own Kraken, Dave Rix puts down the harps and picks up the bass! Yes the multi-talent in this band works on so many levels! Cliff Kuhlman will continue to be our main guitarist and we have enough gigs under out belts now to have established a great groove with Cleveland on drums and Jay on Keyboards.We've got new covers to play for you, more of our brand of American Hip Shakin' music!
Doug James and The Pocket are excited to announce the addition of Jay Martini on keyboards, Cleveland Taylor on drums, and we are pleased to announce the return of guitarist Cliff Kuhlman to our 2016 line-up. These 3 musicians bring the flavor, the fun, and the funk, and we're looking forward to a great future with new songs and renewed energy! Check the SHOWS page above for upcoming gigs in 2016 and the Gallery page for shots from our most recent gig at Taste Of Park Ridge!
We can't wait to get back up to full strength and give you the full tilt Doug James and The Pocket BOOGIE!

What is Hybrid Entrepreneurship? (And Why You Should Consider It)
Tips on how to build a business while still working your day job from author Felicia Joy
I think it will be interesting to eploxre the difference in expectations between traditional venture investors (e.g. venture capitalists, angel investors, etc.) and those investing in social entrepreneurs / ventures. Do social investors have limited partners? If so, are they the same limited partners that the traditional venture investors approach? Do the social investor's limited partners have non-economic interests or motivations? If so, does this mean they have different IRR expectations? How do they quantify the impact of their investment?I think there are lots of interesting questions and areas of discussion around these topics. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.Thanks Randy!

JUDY WOODRUFF: Finally tonight, it's said one picture is worth 1,000 words, but, sometimes, one picture can change lives.
Ray Suarez has the story.
RAY SUAREZ: September 1957, Little Rock, Ark. Three years earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled segregated schools unconstitutional in the landmark Brown vs. the Board of Education decision.
Nine black students attempted to enroll at Little Rock's all-white Central High School. There, they were confronted by an angry mob and were turned back by a detachment of the Arkansas National Guard. As the students left, one of the more indelible images of the civil rights era was captured, two young girls, both 15, one black, one white, one resolutely ignoring the hate speech all around her, the other shouting racial epithets.
For more than 50 years, that picture has haunted both women, Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Bryan. The intersections of their lives is the focus of a new book, "Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock," by David Margolick, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair.
I recently talked with him at Alexandria, Va.'s Black History Museum.
David Margolick, welcome to the program.
DAVID MARGOLICK, Vanity Fair: Thank you very much.
RAY SUAREZ: The striking thing about the story you tell is the fact that it's made up, it's a mountain of accidents, starting with a day in September 1957.
DAVID MARGOLICK: Elizabeth was supposed to have gone with the other eight black children who were desegregating the school or supposed to desegregate the school on that day, but hadn't gotten the message. And so she showed up by herself.
And there was already a mob of people waiting for the black kids to show up. And she, unfortunately, happened to be the first. And she was especially conspicuous, dressed all in white, this black girl walking into a crowd. And the crowd formed around her.
And Hazel became part of the crowd. Hazel wasn't a particularly politically active student, didn't really follow what was going on, I think probably could have told you very little about Brown vs. the Board of Education and the whole process of desegregation.
But she fell in with her friends that morning. And her friends were sort of rabble-rousers. And Hazel joined in with them and was a bit of a performer and wanted to outdo them. And so she happened to be right behind Elizabeth, shouting terrible epithets at her.
RAY SUAREZ: So, here they are, these two girls, similar age, but they had very different life trajectories after that very moment caught in the photograph, didn't they?
DAVID MARGOLICK: They were very similar by background. They were the same age. They were the same socioeconomic class. Even their houses were very similar. They lived only a few miles apart from one another.
But from the moment that this picture was taken, their lives took dramatically different paths. Hazel — oddly enough, Hazel, who was so vociferous about trying to keep Elizabeth out of Central High School, because of the notoriety of the picture and the fact that the picture was broadcast all over the world, her parents became fearful for her security, and actually pulled her out of Central High School and sent her to another school nearby that was closer to her home. She dropped out of school and had a family very, very quickly.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, stayed in Central that whole year. I mean, I tell the story in the book about the terrible ordeals to which the Little Rock Nine were subjected that whole year, which in many ways were worse even than the moment that was depicted in this picture.
I mean, this picture was a momentary thing, whereas the year that Elizabeth spent in Central was really a hellish experience, being thrown down the stairs, being, you know, knocked into their lockers, being scalded in the shower, being harassed in every which way, all with the object of trying to get her out of the school.
And I think that, in a way, it was an experience from which Elizabeth never fully recovered. Elizabeth, already, her family had a kind of predisposition to depression to begin with. And Elizabeth was later diagnosed with PTSD. She had a terrible time after her year in Central. She dropped out of a couple of colleges.
She tried to kill herself a couple of times. She was — she went into the Army briefly — well, not briefly, for four or five years, but went on disability after that and was essentially out of commission for decades.
RAY SUAREZ: But both were marked by that day at Central High.
Elizabeth Eckford couldn't escape that she was one of the Little Rock Nine. A life that might have been lived very quietly and under the radar kept otherwise pulling her back into the spotlight, didn't it?
DAVID MARGOLICK: I think that's right.
I think the picture kept pulling them back into the spotlight, because the picture became more and more famous with passage — with the passage of time. It was the kind of thing that everybody, that you and I both saw in our American history books. It appeared in every Black History Month. Every anniversary, the fifth, the 10th, the 15th, this picture appeared. Everyone knows this picture.
RAY SUAREZ: But there was a shot at redemption for Hazel, and she took it. She really changed over time.
DAVID MARGOLICK: Hazel was haunted by this picture, not immediately, it's true. But within a few years, she realized that she had done something terribly wrong.
And I think that a crucial juncture in the story occurs — we're not even exactly sure, but around 1962 or 1963, by which point Hazel has a couple of young children. And she is suddenly realizing that these little kids who are at her feet are going to grow up and learn that that girl in the picture is their mother.
And she's going to have to explain it to them and who she was and why she did it and what she had done to make amends. And so, in 1962 or 1963, without discussing it beforehand with anyone, she tracks down Eckford in the phone book and calls up Elizabeth and says, "I'm the girl in the picture, and I just want to you know how sorry I am."
RAY SUAREZ: Yet, what is very appealing about what could be a story of redemption for both of them ends up being a little bit more complicated than that. The women become friends, yet it's not all smooth sailing, is it?
DAVID MARGOLICK: Thirty-five years go by. Will Counts, the original photographer, brings the two women back to be photographed again for what was sort of a publicity shot in 1997 on the 40th anniversary of the desegregation.
And the picture becomes a big deal in Little Rock. Hazel has spent much of the interim years trying still to make amends for what she has done. She has been very active working with unwed black mothers, working with underprivileged black kids.
But then the miraculous part of the story begins, because the two become friends. It isn't just a publicity stunt. The two of them start making appearances together. They give speeches together. They visit schools together. And they discover that they actually have a fair amount in common. They like one another.
Unfortunately, it doesn't last. And it doesn't last because Elizabeth, who is an extremely intelligent and discerning and judgmental woman, thinks that she finds holes in Hazel's story. And Hazel, who is already getting grief from blacks for being insincere and for coming forward belatedly, and maybe she's trying to make a quick buck, blacks are skeptical of what she's done.
The Little Rock Nine, other people in the Little Rock Nine wonder who she is and why she's doing what she is doing, and criticize Elizabeth for making up with her.
And, in the meantime, whites in Little Rock are also angry at Hazel. Hazel, after all, has embarrassed them for many, many years with this picture. And they think: We did nothing wrong. We were good kids. We were good high school kids. We weren't harassing the black kids. And yet we have her hung around our neck for 40 years.
So, Hazel feels she's getting flak from whites, she's getting flak from blacks, she's getting flak from Elizabeth. She doesn't need it anymore, and the two of them split apart.
But part of the story is that they don't fully split apart. And from that moment on, and even to this day, there is an indelible bond between these two women. The story of Elizabeth and Hazel is not yet complete. I mean, there's another chapter, I think, to be written. It may not be by me, but, to me, their relationship is unresolved and incomplete still at this point.
RAY SUAREZ: The book is "Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock,"
David Margolick, thanks a lot.
DAVID MARGOLICK: Ray, thanks so much for having me.

I don't use my stone ax anymore. Would you like me to send it to you?:rolleyes:src="http://ceramicartsda.../rolleyes.gif">
As the beginning, neophyte, unskilled, struggling potter, I love my Giffen Grip.
I tried a variation of this plan only because it is what I had laying around. Mine has higher side walls. Go to your discount store and get a plastic basket. It helps if you have a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel to cut the basket in half. I traced around the splash pan to get the fit right. Made the cut then sanded the edges.
You can attach some self adhesive velcro to the sides, but it really isn't necessary. If you take care when making your cuts, you can make it slide into the flange like the splash pan. Works great and is easy to empty. No more clay bits scattered everywhere in the studio!
Each to his own but it's hard for me to believe anyone would go to so much trouble to use something as worthless as a Griffin Grip. I bought one when they first came out and immediately realized that I had wasted my money. Tapping on center is so much faster and easier and anything you can do with a Griffin Grip (or the better designed rip off of it by Bailey) can be done quicker and easier on the wheel head or in a chuck.

I had a roommate in college whose mantra in life was, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." She applied this to everything from dating (Just because you can date that drunk frat guy doesn't mean that you should) to academics (Just because you can graduate with a D average doesn't mean that you should). But the day she applied it to finance, a lightbulb went off in my head.
We shared a suite with a girl who was, to put it mildly, spoiled. Then her parents got divorced in the middle of the year. Everything that had previously been paid for was now this girl's responsibility to pay. She fell apart. Instead of getting a job, she got credit cards. Instead of living low to the ground, she spent like mom and dad were still picking up the tab. At the end of the year she realized that she wouldn't be able to return to college without taking on serious amounts of debt. She didn't seem to think this was a big deal, though, and started the paperwork for a boatload of loans.
My roommate told her, "Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should." Our suite mate didn't understand. She thought that if the loans were available, she should just take them. My roommate sat her down and explained about repayments, interest, and all the other fun stuff. She told our suite mate to get a job and work until she could afford to come back to school while taking on minimal debt. My roommate was smart, but more than that she was wise beyond her years. Her mantra has stuck with me through the years, particularly when it comes to finance. (Although it once saved me from a horrible wedding dress fiasco, too, but that's another story.)
Whenever I'm tempted to blow money, invest in something I don't understand, commit to a large purchase, or do something otherwise dangerous or foolish with money I repeat to myself, "Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should." Sure, I can spend a ton of money on clothes or shoes, but it doesn't mean that I should. I can buy a bigger house, but I probably shouldn't. I can do a lot of things financially that I probably shouldn't.
A lot of other people are in the same boat. It could save some people a world of heartache if they just repeated this mantra to themselves before they got to the cash register, signed for that loan, bought that house, or applied for that credit card. It's easy to get to the part of the thought process where you say, "Hey, I can do this." It's more difficult (and the mark of someone on the way to financial responsibility) to say, "But maybe I shouldn't."
If you stop and question why you're about to do something, what you hope to gain, what you might lose, and whether or not you really understand what you're about to do, you just might realize that you shouldn't do it. It's far better to get to this point sooner rather than later, when you're paying the price for doing something you shouldn't have.
Our suite mate did stop and consider whether she should take out all those loans. She ended up taking a year off from school to work, save some money, and let her parent's situation settle out. She finished school and only owed a few thousand dollars when she graduated. Last I heard, she's doing fine and working in the financial aid department of our old university. Ironic, isn't it? She's probably telling students, "Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should."
