Emma Snowsill. Emma, 22, competing on her first Australian senior team, has caused a huge upset by winning the women's triathlon world championship in Queenstown, New Zealand, yesterday. The victory comes 23 months after her boyfriend, triathlete Luke Harrop, died after being hit by a car while training on his bike on the Gold Coast. Aussie Peter Robertson won the men's event.
Alisa Camplin. Our winter golden girl brightened the summer for us when she moved to the top of the aerial skiing World Cup title race after recording a comprehensive win in Ruka, Finland, at the weekend.
Shane Heal. The Americans may have not wanted him but the Greeks adore the Australian basketballer. For the third consecutive game since arriving in Greece to play for Makedonikis, Heal led his team in scoring at the weekend and helped the club to its first win over Greek powerhouse AEK. Since heading to Greece after being cut by San Antonio, Heal is averaging 24 points a game.
Corey Brown. It's hard enough for punters to pick one winner but here's a simple system - just back hoop Corey Brown. It was a high five for Corey at Randwick on Saturday when he rode not one, not two, but five winners.
Hockeyroos. Reviving great memories of that magical night in September three years ago when they won the Olympic gold medal in Sydney, the Hockeyroos were again victorious on the Homebush Bay stage yesterday, winning the Champions Trophy with victory over China in the final.
Sydney Basketball. It's been a while since the Sydney Kings were anything but winners in this column, but they were two-time losers on the weekend. First, the import they planned to bring to Australia told them he wasn't coming. Then they went to Wollongong and were pumped by 18 points, the second-biggest loss in coach Brian Goorjian's tenure. The West Sydney Razorbacks also were two-time losers, dropping games to Melbourne and the New Zealand Breakers.
Leicester rugby club. Just a few weeks after leading his nation to the World Cup, reality struck for England's Martin Johnson at the weekend when his club side Leicester was beaten 26-15 in the opening game of the European Cup. In the two-tries-apiece game, Diego Dominguez kicked four penalty goals to get French champions Stade Francais home. Shame they weren't drop goals.
Jack Nicholson is a long-time fan of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and can be seen at most of their home games at the Staples Centre in his courtside seats. In a column by Miki Turner that ran on ESPN.com, Nicholson, in an interview to promote his new movie Something's Gotta Give, was asked: "Who will you leave your courtside seats to?" His reply: "Probably the highest bidder." The Poms are on a roll. First the Rugby World Cup, now the elephant polo world championships. After the scores were locked at 4-4 at full-time in Nepal, the English team scored in sudden death to win the championship. The championships, now in their 22nd year, were watched by 8000 spectators. The rules are the same as polo, except competitors use longer sticks and the pitch is smaller. Each player is assisted by a mahout, or driver, who knows the elephant and is able to steer and control it. Rules include swapping elephants with the other side at half time and forbidding the picking up of the ball with a trunk. The winning team, the Tiger Tops Tuskers, represented the Nepalese hosts of the tournament but comprised four British men.
American footballer Lawrence Taylor told The New York Times that as soon as he read his autobiography he called his ex-wife. "I told her, 'Darling, I just want to apologise to you right now because I swear I didn't realise I was that bad'," Taylor said. The remark prompted San Francisco Chronicle writer Tom FitzGerald to ask which is worse: "Charles Barkley claiming he was misquoted in his autobiography, or Taylor being shocked at what's in his?"
It was nearly a huge celebration at Gravesend at the weekend. The minor league club looked as though it might be headed for the next round of the FA Cup when it led 1-0 at half-time in the clash with Notts County. Notts eventually equalised, then scored a 90th-minute winner, but someone at Gravesend still had reason to smile. School teacher Steve Perkins scored the goal for Gravesend in the 42nd minute, and his mother, Janet, won the competition at the game, predicting the time of the first goal.
"I will motivate people to kill after the way FIFA treated us [Oceania] like a dirty old rag. I'm the worst person to be painted into a corner. Let's roll up our sleeves and get stuck in. We'll get through regardless of which South American team we have to play. I'm not scared." Socceroo coach Frank Farina after the World Cup draw for the 2006 finals was conducted in Germany.
"I said at the time I would put somebody's life on it that we'd avoid the South Americans. I hope the person I said that to stayed in bed on Friday." Oceania Football Confederation's Charlie Dempsey after the cup draw.
"And yet this is the man [Martin Johnson], unarguably the greatest English leader since Winston Churchill, who has flung wide the door to the British pantheon of sport. With thunderous tread and a trail of blood he has taken his place among the gods. How the earth must have shaken. Gary Lineker, a mere slip of a lad by comparison, must have been all but shaken off his plinth." The London Daily Telegraph on their great rugby leader, Martin Johnson.

Henrico hosts U.S. Baseball Championships
Citizen Staff Reports 07/20/12
Henrico County will welcome more than 1,500 top high school baseball players from around the country — as well as college coaches, scouts and a nationwide television audience — when the Triple Crown U.S. Baseball Championships take place July 20-28.
Eighty-eight teams from 18 states and Canada, including several from the Richmond area, will compete at 16-under, 17-under and 18-under age divisions. Games will be played at a number of county facilities, including Glen Allen Stadium at RF&P Park, Dorey Park and Tuckahoe Park, as well as other sites in the metro area, beginning Friday morning. All games are open to the public.
Teams will also participate in numerous activities during the week including a Home Run Derby sponsored by Louisville Slugger, lectures and discussions by college coaches, college placement opportunities, and much more.
The CBS Sports Network will broadcast live nationwide the 16-under/17-under all-star game from Glen Allen Stadium at RF&P Park at 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 23. Admission is free.
Chad Gibbons, sports tourism coordinator for Henrico Recreation and Parks, said the U.S. Baseball Championships is a showcase event for prospective college athletes and for the county's growing sports-tourism program. The estimated economic impact of the event on the Richmond Region is $1.7 million with a total of 2,576 hotel room nights.
"Many of these players will be offered college scholarships," Gibbons said. "The (U.S. Baseball Championships) brings talented athletes from all over the country, not just Virginia or the Southeast. It's great exposure for the kids."

text: Linear Technology Corporation (NASDAQ:LLTC), a leading, independent manufacturer of high performance linear integrated circuits, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Quarterly revenues of $335.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased $5.1 million or 1.6% over the previous quarter's revenue of $330.0 million and increased $5.2 million or 1.6% over $329.9 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Net income of $105.2 million increased $1.9 million or 2% over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and decreased $3.2 million or 3% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Diluted earnings per share of $0.45 per share in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased $0.01 per share or 2% over the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and declined $0.02 per share or 4% from the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. During the first quarter the Company's cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities increased by $116.9 million to $1.3 billion. A cash dividend of $0.25 per share will be paid on November 28, 2012 to stockholders of record on November 16, 2012. The Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase, depending on market conditions, up to 10 million shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market over the next two years. According to Lothar Maier, CEO, "We met the midpoint of our revenue guidance for our first fiscal quarter of 2013, as sales grew 1.6% compared to the preceding fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. In addition, net income improved and operating income as a percent of sales improved to 46.3%. Though we are pleased with these results, external global market conditions have continued to weaken. While the automotive market continues to show strength on higher bookings, this increase was offset by lower bookings in our other major markets, particularly the industrial and computer markets. Forecasting continues to be difficult in the current environment. Though customer inventory levels appear to be at reasonable levels, demand continues to be sluggish and orders have not shown signs of improvement as we begin the second quarter. Given this weakness, we expect that this will be a difficult quarter as we remain cautious about the economy and the global market. As a result, we currently are forecasting our revenues to decline sequentially in the 5% - 10% range in our second fiscal quarter of 2013."

When Shall I Use Will?
|related articles:
CSI's Manual of Practice states the way the words "shall" and "will" are to be used, and discourages use of the word must.
If one follows the rule, there is no need for the word "must." Is there a difference between "shall" and "must"? Can a difference be inferred by the contractor? If so, a court will certainly rule in the contractor's favor. Perhaps, the jury will reason, there is a continuum of responsibility for compliance, with "shall" at the high end, "may" at the bottom, and "must" and "should" somewhere in between.
Another source is more emphatic.
Finally, from an English language reference:
When speaking of the contractor, "shall" indicates the requirement that an action be performed. When speaking of the owner or the A/E, "will" indicates not a promise, but an expectation of some action.
Note that these rules apply to the specifications, which are directed to the contractor. The conditions of the contract, which are not specifications, are written differently. Here you will find many instances where the owner is required to perform some action so the contractor can perform properly and efficiently. In those cases, you will find that "the Owner shall" do certain things.

WASHINGTON — Lenders posted their biggest quarterly profit in almost three years even as the number of banks at risk of failure rose to 11 percent of insured institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. said Tuesday.
Bank industry profits totaled $21.6 billion in the three-month period that ended June 30, an increase from $18 billion in the first quarter, the FDIC said in its quarterly report on industry performance.
"The economic recovery that began last year is beginning to be reflected in the rising earnings and improving credit quality," FDIC Chairwoman Sheila Bair said. "Given economic uncertainties, we believe all banks should continue to exercise caution and maintain strong reserves," she said.
But even as the largest banks show improvement in earnings and credit quality, the number of banks on the FDIC's "problem" bank list reached its highest level since 1992 amid slowing recovery, the agency said.
The confidential list had 829 banks with $403 billion in assets at the end of the second quarter, a 7 percent increase from the 775 included in the first quarter, the FDIC said.
"Earnings remain low by historical standards, and the numbers of unprofitable institutions, problem banks and failures remain high," Bair said.
Regulators are closing banks at the fastest pace since 1992, seizing 118 lenders so far this year after shutting 140 institutions in 2009 amid loan losses stemming from the credit crisis. Total assets held by troubled lenders fell from $431 billion in the first quarter, a reflection of the comparatively poor performance of smaller banks.
Overall lending fell 1.4 percent. Net loan and lease balances declined by $95.7 billion amid tighter lending standards and a decrease in consumer demand.
"The decrease in loans outstanding is not unexpected given the still-weak economy and the regulatory uncertainty that has been hovering over the industry," American Bankers Association chief economist James Chessen said. "Businesses are still reluctant to take on new debt without having hard evidence that consumers are willing to buy their products."
Banks' loan-loss provisions in the second quarter fell 40.5 percent from the year-earlier period to $40.3 billion, the FDIC said. The overall reduction, the first since 2006, was driven by cuts at the largest banks as more than 60 percent of lenders increased reserves.
The FDIC's deposit insurance fund, which fell into deficit as bank closings soared last year, dropped to -$15.2 billion balance in the second quarter from -$20.7 billion in the preceding three-month period. The deficit has been reduced in each of the past two quarters after reaching a peak of -$20.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The agency last year required banks to prepay three years of deposit insurance premiums, raising $46 billion on Dec. 30. The agency also has the authority to tap a $500 billion credit line with the Treasury Department.

SnowParkNZ reopens to offer innovative summer training
Snow Park NZ, once a dedicated snowsports terrain park in Cardrona, New Zealand which closed to the public last year, will reopen this summer to host private alpine training opportunities for national teams and camps with a focus on terrain use to promote fundamental development.
"With major Earthworks, new accessible training terrain will be available for national teams, academies and clubs," said Guenther Birgmann, director of Treble Cone Race Academy (TCRA) who is managing the lane space rentals at SnowParkNZ. "More than 10 training lanes will be available in four different terrain options."
Snow Park NZ was sold by the Lee family in 2013 to the neighboring vehicle and car testing facility, the Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground. Prior to the sale, it had been the first dedicated freestyle resort in the world and brought substantial international media exposure to the region, but Birgmann now believes the same will prove true for alpine ski racing athletes.
"What is not on the market yet is terrain which is specially built for skill development training," noted Birgmann. "With the Earthworks, with the opportunities we have to create different terrain features, different inclination of the hill, water injection, ice boxes, gliding tracks, etc., we have an incredible opportunity with this new product to support the coaches, the programs, the national teams for stronger development of fundamental skills."
All four training zones at SnowParkNZ are accessible via a Doppelmayer fixed grip quad that takes four minutes to ride from base to summit and benefit from a state-of-the-art snowmaking system with 20 guns from SMI and Techno Alpine. Bombardier and Kassbohrer grooming machines as well as Alpina snow injection bars will be used to create optimal training conditions.
The available lanes are divided into four zones, described by Birgmann as best suited to very specific needs.
- Zone 1: Easy moderate terrain, suitable for: free ski drill training, gate drill training, slalom drill training, slalom full gates, GS free ski drill training, GS full gate training.
- Zone 2: Moderate terrain with rolling terrain (four gentle rollers and start ramp at the top to generate more speed) suitable for: slalom drills in a gate environment, slalom full gates, slalom with timing, GS drills in a gate environment, GS full gates, GS with timing.
- Zone 3: Terrain MODERATE-FLAT-MODERATE should be water injected and very firm surface suitable for: slalom and GS training in all variety based on water injected snow.
- Zone 4: Very easy and flat terrain suitable for: free skiing drill training and refining fundamental technique, GS gliding turns, supporting gliding technique and aerodynamic position for GS and speed skiing, eventual jump training and equipment testing.
"We are excited to have the Snow Park area to grow our business," Tom Elworthy, managing director for the Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground, said last year at the time of the sale. "We are going to start assessing what opportunities exist within existing facilities and how we can expand them as well."

- Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is innocent
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is innocent: Treat him fairly and not in an unjustified way
I think, without a doubt, he is. They have no "solid" proof/evidence, nor do their stories fit in. "Oh, he's in a pool of blood" next minute walks out without any blood on him from that boat. Oh, he can't talk now because his throat is damaged? How convenient. I've never seen any pictures of said bombs or anything that they have. Do you know what sucks about this whole thing? I bet they won't even have the decency to admit they're wrong. They've destroyed two kids lives (one is six feet under, the other is in **** for something which he didn't even do) and none of it makes sense. Are they trying to create some sort of uproar because his profile says he had Islamic views? It's so ridiculous.
I just think that America (and the world) wants a villain and people are too busy trying to point the finger at innocent people without actually looking at who the real criminals are in this whole thing; the government. People just accept whatever is easiest to swallow/what helps them sleep at night, and in this case, it means pinning it on Dzhokhar.

Foreign Direct Investments and the Economic Crisis in Romania
The article analyzes the impact of the economic and financial crisis on foreign direct investments flows by trying to explain in the beginning the causes of the current sub-prime crisis that started in the US through a chronological presentation of the events that took place on the international arena. Afterwards, the focus of the analysis restrains to the case of Romania: main investors in Romania, economic sectors that received most of the foreign direct investments, industries where new jobs were created, companies with foreign shareholders established. On the short run, it is considered that the negative impact of the global economic and financial crisis on the global flow of foreign direct investments will remain dominant, contributing thus to its continuous decrease in 2009, with the mention that decreases will be recorded at all levels. Still, some factors like investment opportunities given by the reduced asset prices and industrial restructuring, the existence of financial resources in emergent economies and petrol exporting countries, the rapid expansion of new activities such as unconventional energy resources could contribute to the revitalization of the international investments flows.

Flare Irradiance Spectral Model (FISM)
FISM daily average data for the integrated 0.1-193 nm VUV band over 6 solar cycles from 1947-Present
FISM 1-minute resolution data for the 154.5 nm bin during the X17 flare on October 28, 2003
The Flare Irradiance Spectral Model (FISM) is an empirical model of the solar irradiance spectrum from 0.1 to 190 nm at 1 nm resolution and on a 1-minute time cadence. This model is based on the data provided by the Solar Extreme ultraviolet Experiment (SEE) on the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite and the Solar Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment (SOLSTICE) on the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS). The goal of FISM is to provide accurate solar spectral irradiances over the vacuum ultraviolet range (VUV) as input for ionospheric and thermospheric models used for space weather research and operations. The FISM accounts for the significant irradiance changes due to solar flares, which includes orders of magnitude increases in the X-rays to factors of two increases in the extreme ultraviolet wavelengths (EUV: 10-120 nm), as well as the solar cycle and solar rotational variations. The FISM is shown to model the solar cycle and solar rotational variations to within 7% in the VUV wavelengths as well as describe the changes in irradiance due to solar flares to within 15% at most VUV wavelengths. The FISM therefore provides the most accurately available values of the VUV irradiance at this high of temporal resolution and with 100% coverage at this resolution from 1986 to the present.

text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 180145 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 845 PM CDT Thu Aug 17 2017 .UPDATE... We have some lingering showers around the area as a spoke of vorticity rotates around the bottom the upper low center. Very isolate stuff and should be gone by around midnight. Otherwise, continued cloudy with elevated west to northwest winds overnight. Temperature forecast is on track. && .MARINE... Strong low pressure will continue to lift northeast toward the eastern basin of Lake Superior overnight. Look for the west to northwest winds to remain elevated overnight and into early Friday afternoon. A small craft advisory remains in effect through 1 pm Friday. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 542 PM CDT Thu Aug 17 2017) AVIATION(00Z TAFS)... The clouds wrapping around a large low pressure system lifting northeast from the U.P. of Michigan will bring a mix of VFR and MVFR CIGS through the evening. The bulk of the MVFR CIGS will remain north of Milwaukee and Madison, but all areas should gradually improve to VFR by mid morning on Friday. Any lingering showers will end with sunset and the loss of heating. Westerly winds will remain elevated overnight, gradually relaxing from west to east later tonight as the low pulls away. PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 222 PM CDT Thu Aug 17 2017) SHORT TERM... Tonight and Friday...Forecast Confidence is high. An occluding low pressure system will track from northern Wisconsin towards Lake Superior tonight. Any showers due to instability within the cyclonic regime should quickly end around sunset. Otherwise, look for mostly cloudy skies tonight. Windy conditions will continue due to the strong pressure gradient associated with the departing low. Gusts to around 30 mph are possible this evening, with gusts decreasing somewhat later tonight. The winds will remain quite gusty along Lake Michigan overnight. We`ll see a bit more sunshine on Friday as low pressure pulls away. Winds will become gusty during the day as the mixed layer deepens, and a lingering pressure gradient remains. A shortwave trough and weak surface low will approach by afternoon, but any rain chances appear to hold back to our west through early evening. Friday night and Saturday...Forecast confidence is high. The upper trough continues to sharpen across Wisconsin Friday night before reaching the Great Lakes region Saturday. The strongest upper level divergence occurs across northern illinois Friday evening, but moderate 700 mb upward motion does affect far southern Wisconsin until around midnight. The 850 mb west/southwest wind max remains to the south more towards central Illinois. The NAM has precipitation mainly to the south of Wisconsin, while the GFS and, to a lesser extent ECMWF does bring in some rain. GFS zero to 1 km CAPE is around 200 Joules/kg, but does have some steeper lapse rates in the 700 to 500 mb layer. Mid and lower layers then dry, with just enough moisture around 850 mb to bring a few fair weather cumulus Saturday afternoon. LONG TERM... Saturday night through Sunday... Forecast confidence is high. The northwest flow becomes more zonal. Surface high pressure will move across the Great lakes with some weak warm air advection beginning Sunday. Monday through Thursday... Forecast confidence is medium. A shortwave will push across the plains Monday and into Wisconsin Monday night and Tuesday. A surface trough will be near southern Wisconsin later Monday and Tuesday. The ECMWF is slower in bringing precipitation, holding off until Monday night, while the GFS is faster with showers and thunderstorms beginning Monday. This system would bring clouds which will affect viewing the eclipse in southern WI on Monday. Stay tuned. Conditions will remain favorable for showers and scattered storms through Tuesday evening until a cold front drops south. There could be some severe storms ahead of the front. High pressure and cooler air will then dominate on Thursday. AVIATION(18Z TAFS)... Mixture of VFR/MVFR CIGS should continue into tonight. A few lower CIGS are possible, especially north of MKE and MSN. Scattered showers should taper off around sunset. Gusty SW winds will veer westerly tonight, with gusts to around 25 knots at times. Low level wind shear is possible from this evening into early tonight, and included this in the TAFs. Ceilings should rise to VFR levels by early tomorrow afternoon, with gusty W to NW winds developing. MARINE... Small Craft Advisory conditions are expected for the nearshore waters through early Friday afternoon. Gusty southwest winds this afternoon will veer westerly tonight, with frequent gusts to 25 knots expected through early Friday afternoon. Mariners should exercise caution. BEACHES... A Beach Hazards statement remains in effect for Sheboygan County through this evening. Winds are now turning more offshore, which should push the highest waves towards the open waters. Hazardous swimming conditions should persist until the waves heights decline later this afternoon. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. LM...Small Craft Advisory until 1 PM CDT Friday for LMZ643>646. && $$ Update...Davis Tonight/Friday and Aviation/Marine...SPM Friday Night through Thursday...Hentz

The Haredim's New 'Natural Partners'
Given Shas' long-standing verbal abuse of Arabs, a vision of Haredim linking up with left-wing elements and Palestinian citizens to change Israel from an ethnocentric state to a pluralistic one seems at first glance a utopian ideal. But for Haredi society it's the call of the hour.
Despite the sharp ideological differences between Orthodox Judaism and modern Zionist nationalism, for many years the ultra-Orthodox parties have been the...

Style: 30608640 Colour:
Lovely sheer ruana with lace insets and trim. Elegant mother of pearl button closure and knotted fringe. *By Muche et Muchette
Muche et Muchette
In the '90s, they both moved from Paris to Miami. Two decades later, in November 2011, Muche et Muchette was born. Described as an elegant yet bohemian, vibrant but subdued apparel and accessories line, all collections are inspired by their friendship and lifestyle with a significant touch of French roots.
Beautiful but doens't last
I was so happy wearing this the first few times - absolutly beautiful. However - after hand washing very gently in cold water the fringe was ruined. It's so frayed that it looks like a rats nest making it unwearable. So so diasappointed.
Hi alisoncaldwell, We're sorry to hear about this. Someone from our team will be in touch. - Free People
Beautiful and Unique
I love this item, I really wish I could obtain the coveted taupe color. I ordered the navy. I'm not really into kimonos but loved it so much I ordered a 2nd one in navy with the intention of having one that I would wear to work and non-occasions (it's delicate and a lot of wearings may cause some wear and tear, but it is well made) and one that I would wear to occasions so I have one that always looks new. The con may not be FP's fault. I am returning the 2nd one because the fringe is unraveling. The package arrived open which could be a post office issue or it was not packaged correctly, so I am returning as defective, but I do recommend this piece, I'm 5''4 and 118 lbs and it still lays very nice on with it being one size.
Hi leannee, We're sorry to hear about this. Someone from our team will reach out to you shortly. - Free People
I was so excited to get this piece! I am not one to dispute glowing reviews but, I have to tell you, this shawl is large, lifeless, and drab. I received it in taupe, and I am normally a huge fan of shawls and ponchos but this one is going back to FP! Big disappointment!
Absolutely Stunning
I bought this in a taupe and it might just be my favorite article of clothing. It is perfect. My only complaint was that when it arrived there was a snag in the back that had created a run. Unfortunately I had to return it, but I did order another one and it's on its way! So stoked to have this for real!
Unique piece
I originally ordered the navy with neon, but it does not have the lace inserts described, so I returned it. Exchanged for the taupe. LOVE IT!!! Plan on wearing it with jeans or after my exercise class with leggings. Great piece and sure to get compliments for its' uniqueness.
The taupe seems bland online but pics don't do it justice. A thousand times cooler in person. The sturdy yet soft material creates a very cool and flattering vertical front drape and the intricate tassels add a feminine rocker touch. I don't walk into a FP store now w/o a list of things I need and make it a point to Not veer off the list...but I saw this...and list be damned. I wasn't looking for a robe, let alone a Taupe one, but wow in person u'll see. It's simple enough to be extremely versatile (great for spring, summer, fall) yet interesting enough to add a very special touch to any outfit.
Feminine, boHo Chic, gorgeous
this was everything I wanted. I'm so satisfied. The material is super light and flowing. It looks gorgeous with everything I pair it with! I got the white and was really worried that it would be too bright, but it's an off white color which gives it a vintage feel. The sleeves are baggy and gives this sweater a "bat-wing" look, which I don't mind. On the back there is a cute button clasp that I didn't see in the picture. This isn't a bad thing but I wasn't expecting this part in the design. Overall I'm really happy with this item. Definitely a wardrobe staple.
Purchased the ivory, which is as pictured. Really happy with this Ruana, as I purchased another kimono which had vents under the arms. This is a far superior product and I love the one button closure. Highly recommend this lovely piece.

Anne Waldman & Ambrose Bye:
Fossil Fuel
from the book Manatee/Humanity
& the album The Milk of Human Kindness
Anne Waldman (b. 1945) is an American poet. Since the 1960s, she has been a noted writer, performer, scholar, professor, cultural/political activist and student of Buddhism. She has published more than forty books of poetry.
She is a vocal proponent for feminist, environmental, and human rights causes, participating actively in Poets Against the War and organizing protests in New York and Washington D.C. She is a Distinguished Professor of Poetics at Naropa Institute.
The birth of her son Ambrose Bye in 1980 was an "inspiring turning point" for Waldman, and she became committed to the survival of the planet. Her child, she said, became her teacher. Waldman and Ambrose Bye perform together and created Fast Speaking Music. They have produced multiple albums together.
Waldman is particularly interested in the performance of her poetry: she considers performance a "ritualized event in time" and expresses the energy of her poetry through exuberant breathing, chanting, singing, and movement. She credits her poem, Fast Speaking Woman, as the seminal work that galvanized her idea of poetry as performance.

Terry Cowan
Western Chester County, PA is home to two of the most historic churches in that part of the state: Upper Octorara Presbyterian Church in Parkesburg, and St. John's Episcopal Church in Compass, separated by only four miles. Each was the home congregation to members of the Cowan family:
These Pequea Creek Cowans lived in the Pequea Valley of Lancaster County, that was carved from Chester County in 1729. Their church, however, was just across the line into Chester County (one could quite literally throw a rock from the west edge of St. John's Episcopal Cemetery and hit Lancaster County.)
Historians and family members alike have long assumed that all these Cowans were of the same family, namely that Hugh of Upper Octorara was a brother of John, David and William of St. John's. In early 2009, DNA testing of a Hugh Cowan descendant proved that they were not related at all to the Pequea Cowans. They belong to Haplong Group I (the Cowan's Gap Cowans) and the Pequea Valley Cowans belong to the R1b1b2 Group. This has had some significant implications for Cowan family research. For example, the tradition of immigration from Ulster to PA was totally tied to Hugh Cowan line, and not the Pequea Valley Cowans. These traditions now have no bearing on the Pequea Valley Cowans. Hence, the name chosen for Rev. John K. Fleming's book (himself a Pequea Valley Cowan descendant,) "The Cowans from County Down," is doubly unfortunate.
In all fairness to Rev. Fleming, his 1971 work was not the source of this error. A Parke family history (Source:Wallace, 1919) makes the same claim, [1]and Fleming footnotes the undated work of Mrs. Evelyn King Sheets. By the time of the Parkes history, descendants of these immigrants (at least of the Cowan surname) had long left the area. Given the relative uncommonness of the name, one can easily understand how researchers would assume contemporary Cowans in a small geographical area would be related to one another.
Reasons to Suspect
And yet, long before the DNA results, there were reasons to strongly suspect that they were NOT related. My thoughts, as follows:
1. Religion. Too little was made of the religious differences between the Chester County Presbyterian Cowans and the Lancaster County Episcopalian Cowans. One naturally assumes that Scots or Scots-Irish immigrants were probably Presbyterian, in the same way that one would assume later Irish immigrants to be Catholic. And yet, the Pequea Valley Cowans were not—and even tried to establish the Anglican Church on the North Carolina frontier. One suspects that Rev. Fleming, himself a Presbyterian minister, did not exactly know what to do with these odd Anglican Cowans. He tried to explain it away by assuming they became such on their marriages, and quickly moved on to the Presbyterianism adopted by descendants in North Carolina. Episcopalian churches were not thick on the ground during these early years of settlement. The largest church was St. James Church in Lancaster. Then there was our St. John's Pequea, Bangor Church in Caernarvon Township, and eventually St. Thomas Church in Morgantown in what became Berks County. My point is that to be a member of an Episcopal church there took some effort. And these early Cowans were far from just nominal church members. Church records show that, for several generations, they played a significant role in the life of St. John's Episcopal Church. In short, this was not a casual religious choice, but their Anglicanism helped define them as a family, just as the Presbyterianism of Hugh's family.
2. Family Dealings. The Pequea Valley Cowans were in each other's business. The farms of John, David and William adjoined, and the farm of Henry was located somewhere to the south. John and Henry witnessed the signatures in a Fleming family partition, in which David and William had to sign as sons-in-law. John was a witness to David's will, and Henry and William were both tied to John's will. William's daughter married John's son, and when he died, she sold her dower rights to David's son. There is no mention of Hugh Cowan in any documents associated with the Pequea Valley Cowans. Likewise, there is no mention of these Cowans in any document associated with Hugh Cowan.
3. Naming Patterns. The Cowan naming patterns are interesting to follows. The favorite sons' names were John, William, Henry, David, George, James, Isaac—used time and time again. The daughters' names are less identifiable. Certainly some of these names can also be found among descendants of Hugh Cowan. But what is significant is this: in all my research, I not found a single Pequea Valley Cowan named "Hugh" (descendants of Hugh Jenkins, husband of Mary Cowan, daughter of David, obviously excepted.)
4. Dispersion Pattern. Most of the descendants of John, William and Henry, and some of the descendants of David moved to the same neighborhood in Rowan County, NC, where they continued these close family associations, as evidenced by countless deeds, will and intermarriages. A smaller family grouping formed early in Mercer County, KY. None of the Hugh Cowan family followed migration patterns in any way similar to the Pequea Valley Cowans.
In short, there is simply nothing to tie Hugh Cowan to the Pequea Valley Cowan brothers.

"What people need to understand is that giving them Miranda warning does not necessarily mean an interrogation basically stops," Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
"In fact, I think there is a good case to be made that once people get Miranda warnings, the information flow continues, or it stops temporarily until a lawyer, a defense lawyer, is introduced into the mix," the attorney general said. "That lawyer then counsels his clients – especially in terrorism cases given the lengthy sentences from an Article 3 proceeding – works with his client to cooperate with the government."
Holder has been behind the decision to prosecute 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a civilian court instead of a military tribunal. Holder also made the call to prosecute the attempted Christmas Day airline-bombing suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab as a criminal, rather than an enemy combatant.
Republican senators on the panel were unanimous in calling for trying terrorists in military courts rather than civilian courts. Democrats stood with Holder and repeatedly said that President George W. Bush's administration did the same thing that Holder is advocating.
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, ranking Republican on the committee, was skeptical about Holder's view on Miranda warnings.
"The first thing a good lawyer is going to say is, don't talk," Sessions said. "You're going to get less information from that procedure. That is a big reason why more of those cases need to be tried before military commissions."
Citing a list of 400 purportedly terror-related convictions, Attorney General Holder said that the Justice Department has achieved 30 terror-related convictions in 2009 – more than any year since Sept. 11, 2001.
Holder also said that "most prosecutions came in the last administration" as a way of reasserting that the Bush administration had used civilian courts to prosecute terrorist cases. Further, Holder said only three cases have been successfully prosecuted in military courts since 9/11.
"Our history shows that Article 3 courts are quite cable of trying cases without putting at risk intelligence sources," Holder said.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said, "Those arguing we should shift all these prosecutions to the military side would have to stop and explain why this dramatic record of success should be rejected."
CNSNews.com has reported that the Justice Department's list of 403 terror-related convictions includes several cases of credit card fraud, tobacco smuggling, financial fraud and even stealing breakfast cereal – all cases that judges, prosecutors and news accounts said had nothing to do with terrorism.
The DOJ provided the list to the Senate Judiciary Committee in late March in response to questions about the source of Holder's claim that more than 300 convicted terrorists are serving in U.S. prisons.
Sessions expressed criticism of the Justice Department touting the list.
"You asserted that you know we can prosecute terrorists in our federal courts safely and securely because we have more than 300 convicted international terrorists and domestic terrorists in the Bureau of Prisons, but that was surely an exaggeration," Sessions said.
"When, on March 22, you finally provided a list of those individuals, it was an inflated list of many hundreds lesser offenses. Many of these cases were only prosecuted before military commissions became operative," he added.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) excoriated Republicans for criticizing the administration's policies.
"The administration needs to have maximum flexibility," Feinstein said. "I have served on this committee 17 years. The record is ignored. It doesn't matter that the Bush administration brought more than 200 terrorists to justice under Article 3 courts."
Holder said that in a few weeks he will announce where the KSM trial will occur. New York elected officials and residents have vocally opposed having the trial in their city.
But Feinstein said the attorney general should have complete say whether to try a case in a civilian or military court.
"You should have that option. You should also have the option of military tribunals," Feinstein said. "I understand why New Yorkers feel the way they do. I also understand why America remains strong, if you remain strong. The record of Article 3 courts on convictions of terrorists in this country is unparalleled."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) asked Holder, "President Obama said that the nation is at war with al Qaeda. Do you agree with that?"
Holder answered, "Yes."
Graham, a former military prosecutor, responded, "I would just urge you to remain strong in that thought process, because some people don't believe we're at war. Some people, just as patriotic as I am, believe you should be using the law enforcement model exclusively."
Graham said there may be cases where a criminal trial is appropriate, and said the Justice Department should be "flexible, pragmatic and aggressive."
"When one is at war, we have to realize that the rules are different than fighting crime. You agree with that?" said Graham. There was a brief pause with no answer from Holder. So Graham continued, "The law of war is different than normal criminal law."
After another silent pause, Graham said, "In certain aspects."
Finally Holder responded, "In certain aspects, yes."

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" chased down $311.1 million from moviegoers around the world, as nostalgic fans brought along their children to watch Harrison Ford's latest escapades, distributor Paramount Pictures said on Monday.
The tally included $151.1 million from the United States and Canada -- the second-highest U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend opening in history -- and $160 million from No. 1 launches in 61 other countries, the studio said.
Foreign highlights included $24 million in Britain and $14 million in France. Sales in France were boosted by the hype surrounding its glitzy world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on the French Riviera last Sunday.
Overall business was "driven by people in their 30s and 40s, and that audience was excited to see the movie and excited to bring their kids with them," said Rob Moore, Paramount's president of worldwide marketing, distribution and operations.
The worldwide tally set a record for both the Viacom Inc-owned studio and for the film's director, Steven Spielberg. For both, the old mark was held by "War of the Worlds," which opened to $202 million in a similar number of territories during the U.S. July 4 holiday weekend in 2005. Higher ticket prices and the slide of the U.S. dollar, which benefits exporters such as Hollywood studios, helped the new film's cause.
In North America, where Paramount said two-thirds of the audience was aged 25 and older, the $151.1 million tally was bested only by the $153 million debut of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" among Memorial Day openings.
"Crystal Skull," which Paramount said cost $185 million to make, is the fourth movie in the lucrative "Indiana Jones" franchise, and the first to hit theaters in 19 years. Reviews were mixed, but evidently did not dissuade the franchise's aficionados.
Ford, 65, reprises his role as the eponymous archeologist. He is joined by Australian actress Cate Blanchett and Spielberg's hot new discovery, Shia LaBeouf. George Lucas, who created the franchise in 1981 with "Raiders of the Lost Ark," returned as executive producer.

It+s time for +December Delirium+April 2, 1997
It's time for 'December Delirium'
The issue:
Different playoff formats in college basketball and football.
His view:
College football should adopt a form of March Madness to determine its National Champion.
Wade Barrow
Assistant Night News Editor
Just about the time that many people in the media had declared college basketball dead, March Madness proved them wrong.
It was a tournament of lasting memories. Though most of the nation probably didn't even know they existed, no one will soon forget the Cinderella stories of Tennessee-Chattanooga or Coppin State. National Champion Arizona, a #4 seed, had to defeat three #1 seeds and escape an infamous past of early tournament exits. It was a great tournament indeed.
So why was everyone in the sports media ready to pronounce college basketball dead? Many journalists claimed that the NBA had robbed the college ranks of all its young talent. Others believed that the college game had lost its edge because of showboating players, decreasing fundamentals and a thin coaching pool. All could not be much further from the truth.
So why did the sports media really say college basketball was dead? It is for the simple reason that they take it as an insult that college basketball has done so well without any of their 'help.'
One only needs to look at the sad state of college football. Here is the only sport in the world that is played for 13 weeks only to have their season come down to a popularity contest voted on by a third party. Media rankings determine who gets bowl bids and who wins the national championship. Watching last season's mythical national championship was like seeing The Bear Pit for the first time. That's it? Its just too anti-climatic.
In college basketball they decide the champion on the court, as it should be. They give bids to tournament champions, not the top 64 teams in the AP poll. A fine example of the wisdom of the Tournament selection committee is the Texas Longhorns. Journalists whined that the 'Horns didn't deserve to be there, and Coach Penders' team answered the criticism by advancing to the Sweet 16.
Unless something changes, the popularity of college basketball will surpass football, but I'm just full of ideas.
College football officials will claim that a playoff system is impossible. Let me correct them.
The average team currently has an eleven game season with two bye weeks. The first thing you would have to do would be eliminate one bye week and one game. condensing the season to 11 weeks. Then give the champions of each major conference (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, SEC, etc.) an automatic bid to the 32-team playoffs. The remaining 20 or so bids would go to at-large teams by a selection committee. I hope this sounds just like the NCAA basketball tournament selection process because it's supposed to. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
What about the bowls?
Let them bid to host games. The highest bidder gets their choice of the matchup. By doing this it guarantees the continuation of the bowl game tradition. Even if the bowls balked, the television revenue of a playoff system would make up for the lost bowl revenue.
The time has come to finally put to rest an archaic tradition, and possibly capture some of the magic of March Madness in the process. We could call it December Delirium. Then again maybe we should hold off on that one.
The point is champions should be crowned on the field, not in the newsroom. Call it a dream, but all I want is a College Football National Champion that wins without the help of me, or any other aspiring sports writer.
