Daily Advertiser THE BEAUTIFUL MORMON: OR, Among the Colorado Indians! A Story of the Mountain Meadow Massacre. By Major Alfred Rochefort. CHAPTER I. A THOUGHT OF FREEDOM. "You must marry him! Not another word! He will be here to-night, and the wedding cannot be postponed beyond the morning." Isaac Henderson, the Mormon Elder, grew very red in the face as he spoke, and his lit-tle red eyes seemed ready to pop under his bushy eyebrows as he glanced at his daugh-ter. "But I cannot love this man, Saul Gris-com. He is old enough to be my father, and has children married, besides other wives. Why should he want me?" said Lucy Hen-derson, an appealing look in her beautiful black eyes, as she turned them on her father. Her red lips trembled, and with outstretch-ed arms she made a hesitating step toward him. "Can't love him! What does he care for your love? Saul Griscom ain't a milksop of a boy! Do you hear me?" "I do! I do?" she sobbed. "Then hear me further. When you are his wife, you must obey him. But do you know who you are now?" "Your daughter, I believe." "Yes, my daughter; and until you are married you must obey me. Do you under-stand?" "I understand but two well," she answer-ed, the tears on the long lashes increas-ing the size and brilliancy of her glorious eyes. Isaac Henderson was about to leave the room he had gone as far as the door, which he held partly open, when, looking back, he saw Lucy standing with bowed head, the picture of dejection, on the spot she had oc-cupied for the last ten minutes. He was a heavy-set, coarse-looking man, with not the slightest resemblance to the beautiful girl before him. Her appearance may have touched his heart, or he may have been prompted by a generous feeling to explain his cruel conduct. No matter what the motive, he came back, and said: "Lucy, Elder Griscom has me in his pow-er. To-morrow he could justly claim every-thing I have in this world. He will free me the moment you are his wife. You can see my motives?' He had walked back, and now attempted, as he spoke, to lay his hand in a consoling way on her shoulder. Lucy shrank from the touch, and trembled visibly as the rough fingers touched her, but she remained silent. "You would ruin me—your father—to gratify a whim," he said, in a tone that but ill concealed his suppressed anger." "Say rather you would curse my life, and sell me like a slave in order to retain your property, mortgaged to gratify your taste for liquor and your love for gambling with tho Gentiles." Lucy stepped back, raised her head, and looked boldly at the man before her. Isaac Henderson was for the moment stun-ned by this unexpected opposition. Under the laws of the Mormon Church, this girl was his property as much as ever was slave the property of a West India master, and he had the control of her in every way but that of taking her life unprovoked. He had made a pledge to Elder Griscom, and that pledge he determined to keep—not with any manly idea of the honor of his word, but with the selfish motive of buying himself clear from the man who held him in his power. "There is no use in reasoning with you.—You know my decision, and you must make up your mind to abide by it. This time to-morrow you will be the wife of Elder Gris-com." Isaac Henderson again walked to the door, and, turning again, looked at the fair girl, who, like a statue of despair, again stood with clasped hands and bowed head in the middle of the room. "I know what you are thinking about now," he hissed, showing his yellow teeth." "Of what am I thinking?" she asked. "Of that long-haired, smooth-faced, oily-tongued Gentile, Paul. St. Clair. Didn't I tell you he was dead—killed, back among the canons, by the Utes, into whose territory he went to hunt for gold? It is well they did kill the dog, for had he come to the Vir-gin River again, he would never have left it alive. Banish him from your mind; you have seen him for the last time." Isaac Henderson closed the door after him with a loud bang, and unnoticing the act, Lucy still stood pale-faced and buried in thought. After a time she roused herself, with an effort, her whole appearance changed, and clinching her hands she stamped one little foot on the floor, and in an intense whisper, and "It is false! Paul St. Clair lives; but he is powerless to aid me now when most I need his words of wisdom, and the protection of his swift foot and strong aim. Oh, I am helpless!—so weak and helpless!" She sank into a chair, and burying her pale face in her little white hands, she sob-bed as if her heart would break. "The beautiful white girl has a clouded heart." Lucy was startled from her reverie, and glancing up she saw before her an Indian girl, but little older than herself. A tall, splendidly-formed being, looking more like an Aztec queen than one of the nomad tribes that infested the mountains. Zelonah was in truth an Aztec, of the Mo-qui nation, captured years ago, with her brother, by the Navajoes. They had been subsequently purchased from the fierce tribe by Isaac Henderson, and now acted as ser-vants in his family. "Yes, Zelonah, my heart is clouded, and never again can the sunlight of happiness touch it. Hope in me is dead." Lucy rose and threw her arms about the Indian girl's neck. "Speak not so. Hope in me is never alive, and though I remain here until my hair is white as the snow on the mountains above the valley, yet will I still feel that I am to spend the last of my life among the people of my fathers, and be buried in the shadow of my native hills. But tell me why you are cast down. I, at least, am your friend, as is my brother Ulay." "I am sure of that, Zelonah, but neither one of you can help me now," sobbed Lucy. "Let me hear first your trouble, then we can judge if there be a remedy," said Zelonah stroking the beautiful head that now rested on her shoulder. Lucy related everything about her ap-proaching marriage, and added: "But Zelonah, I would rather die." "You would run the risk of death to es-cape this man?" "Yes, Zelonah, the risk of a thousand deaths?" "And your heart still turns to the hand-some young white man, Paul St. Clair, does it?" "It does." "Do you believe he is dead?" "No I cannot believe it." "You would be willing then to attempt an escape from this place?" asked Zelonah, earnestly. "I would. But whither can I fly? To the north and south stretch the Mormon set-tlements; to the west the lifeless, waterless desert; to the east the great Colorado, with its impassable canons, and its hordes of savage Indians. There is death wherever, I turn!" "That may be; but we have a choice of deaths. And then Lucy, there is something more dreadful to be dreaded by you than death!" "Yes, yes, Zelonah, I understand you. Only open an avenue that promises any hope, no matter how desperate, and I will follow it. See—night will be here in a few hours, and whatever we do must be decided on at once." "I understand that. Keep of good heart, I will soon return." With another gentle caress, Zelonah van-ished as silently as she came. With quick steps she crossed the garden at the rear of the house, and entered an adobe building on the opposite side. The room in which she found herself was a low workshop, with a rude furnace at one end, and broken agricultural implements, mining tools and fire-arms scattered around. A tall man was bending over a bench, ab-sorbed in the contemplation of a rifle-lock which he held in his hand; yet he caught the fall of the light foot behind him, and turning, it was easy to see he was the brother of the Indian girl. He had the same handsome but sad fea-tures, the same splendid sweep of limb and grace of bearing. "Is my brother Ulay busy?" asked Zelo-nah, in a low, sweet voice, "Always busy, my sister, but always happy to have you near me, and to listen to the music of your voice," said Ulay, laying down the rifle, and gently placing his hand on his sister's shoulder. "I have much that is weighty to talk to you of," she began, then hesitated. "My heart hungers for your words Zelonah." "You have often planned escape from here. You know the trail that lies beyond the great canon, and leads to the village of the Mo-quis ?" "I do, my sister." "Long ago would would have risked escape in that direction, but for the love you bear for me and the beautiful white girl?" "This is true, Zelonah," he said, in a sad tone. "The road is difficult and dangerous, but can trail it, and will go on one condition." "What is that?" he asked, in surprise. "That you take with you the white girl Lucy." "But would she go?" "Yes." Zelonah then briefly related Lucy's condi-tion, dwelling on the fact that she was to be married to Elder Saul Griscom in the morn-ing, and that her only hope of avoiding this alliance, which was worse than death to her, was by immediate flight. "Do the wives of Henderson know any-thing of this?" asked Ulay. "Yes, they know all about the marriage. Lucy's mother has been long dead, and these women, seeing her influence over her father, are only too anxious to get rid of her." "She calls him father, Zelonah, but I have ever thought that a different blood courses in her veins. Lucy can ride well?" "You know she can as well as you or I." "And her heart would not fail her in the hour of danger?" "No, Ulay. She is brave as she is beauti-ful." "Then the Moquis nation holds not her equal for courage," said the young man, his dark eyes flashing, and the hot blood burn-ing in his red brow. "Will you make all the arrangements?" "I will; but come to see me in an hour." Zelonah left him again alone in the little shop where he stood for some time, with folded arms, buried in deep thought. The prayed-for opportunity had come. Captivity had been sweet, shared with his sister, and near Lucy. Now came the oc-casion which he might be free, and still near them. His lips grew firmer, and turning, he op-ened a box, took out a lot of arms, and be-gan carefully to examine them, with the air of one who might be called on to use them, and who would be ready when the time came. CHAPTER II. FOR FREEDOM. The sun had gone down, and in that land of brief twilights night followed fast on his sinking. Isaac Henderson had finished supper, in the company of his three wives and half-score of children. Lucy excused herself from the table, on the plea of illness. Poor child! how could she feel like eating, under the circum-stances. In her own room, however, she was busy selecting the few articles she might need. From the drawer of a bureau she took a gold locket, attached to a chain, and looking for a moment at the picture, she kissed it, then put the chain about her neck, and secreted the picture in her dress. She could not remember her dead mother, but her father had told her this was her picture. She had often wondered how a being so beautiful and angelic, as the face of her mother showed her to be, could have mar-ried such a man as her father. She thought of this again to-night, and she found an answer to the mystery in her own case. After she had made up the little bundle she intended to take with her in her contem-plated flight, she opened the window, and handing it out, it was seized by a person who had evidently been waiting for it in the garden. She had put out the light, and was about to walk out to the dining-room, which was also used as a sitting room, when she heard her father's voice talking to some person in no pleasant tones, and she waited, with the window raised, to listen. "And this is the news you bring me, Bill Coggswell, after I've spent hundreds to get that fellow out of the way!" said Henderson. The man addressed as "Bill Coggswell" answered in a tone so low, and monotonous that it formed a striking contrast to the ex-cited voice of the Mormon: "I never told ye for sure he was killed. I needn't have told ye to-night he was livin'; but in all my dealin's, you know, I'm in for talkin' fair, an' I allus sticks up to my 'gree-ments. Now I know Paul St. Clair is livin'. I know he's gone down Cathedral Canon, an' I know, too, that if him an' his frien's ever leave, that it won't be the blame of Mezcal and his Utes. Them chaps is treed for good !" "Then, why did you and this band of In-dians come here again to-night? I believe I've paid you all I owe you." "You paid all you promised for the job, Elder Henderson, that's a fac; but men like you allus has jobs on hand. Ye see ye ain't able to do them things up like ye uster. Then, elder, we've heerd as how this gal of your'n is a-goin to be married to that ole he-angle, Elder Saul Griscom, and we thought ye moutn't object to liv-in' a few frien's near to enjoy the weddin' with you." This was said in the same cool, impu-dent tone, and for the moment Elder Isaac Henderson was nonplused. "Very well! Make yourselves at home. Ulay will get you something to eat. But don't bring any of the Utes into the house." Bill Cogswell laughed, and the laugh was in keeping with his voice. "I'm sorry you won't let 'em come in the house, elder. Them Utes is very del- icate, an' ain't used ter sleepin' ' cept on feather beds, an' inside two- story houses ; but if you could send down a little whis-key, I might prevail on 'em, though every man of 'em is a chief, to sleep in the stable." "I don't want them to go near the sta-ble." "But where can I take them?" asked the imperturbable Bill. "Take them to—" The elder was about to say something harsh in his anger, but he changed his mind, and told Bill to do as he pleased, provided he kept out of the house and sta-ble with the Utes. The elder walked off, and Bill Cogswell stood for some time in the same spot, arid Lucy heard him say, in the same tone: "I wonder if he'd let us sleep with the dogs?" Then he walked slowly away. While Lucy stood by the window, peer-ing into the darkness, from the very spot which the ruffian had occupied a few moments before, she saw a tall form rising and gliding noiselessly toward her, till it stood near the window. "Ulay?" she whispered. "Yes, I." "When will all be ready?" "All would have been ready now, but for the coming of this Cogswell and his Utes." "Are they in the way?" "Yes ; but before midnight I will dis-pose of them. Keep up a good heart." "I will, Ulay. But tell me, do you know where the great Cathedral Canon is?" "I do. But why do you ask?" "Paul St. Clair is there." "Paul St. Clair!" whispered Ulay, as if the words gave him pain. "Yes. I heard this man Cogswell tell my father so to-night." "His would be a strong arm to have with us; but there is danger by that road." "And danger by every road, Ulay." "True; but prudence can avoid much." "I will leave all with you. I will re-main here." The tall form bowed, and then noislessly disappeared. Lucy sat down, looking up at the stars but not seeing them. How long she sat there she knew not, but she was at length startled by the barking of the dogs, and listening, her heart seemed to stop its beat-ing for a moment, then to give a great bound, that nearly suffocated her, after which it throbbed and fluttered, like a caged bird beating its bars, for she heard the rattle of wheels, and the clatter of advancing horses. While she stood trembling, and holding on to the window sill for support, the door opened noislessly behind her, and Zelonah glided in and threw her arms about the frightened white girl. "Courage, courage, my beautiful sister! He has come: but you have not yet gone with him." "With whom, Zelonah?" Lucy knew, but in her anguish she hoped the reply would not be the one she expect-ed. "Elder Saul Griscom!" "But he was not expected till midnight." "No, but here he is now. Hark! Your father is speaking to him. There seems to be many of them. Courage! Courage!" Zelonah kissed the pale face of the trem-bling girl, then disappeared as she had en-tered. Lucy had not long to remain in doubt; for. shortly after Zelonah left, her father knocked at the door, and, in a voice evin-cing agitation, he said: "Lucy, my dear, Elder Griscom has come, and he says he is dying to see you." Pushing back the masses of waving brown hair from her low, white forehead, she obey-ed the summons conveyed in her father's words, and walked into the room, where the loud, rough voices told her Griscom and his friends were. "She's coming—eh, elder?" asked Gris-com. "Yes, she will be here in a moment," said Henderson, nervously glancing back at the door from which Lucy was to make her ap-pearance. Elder Saul Griscom was a short, stout man, with a grizzled head and beard, and a thick, red throat. His heavy features were lit by two cunning, cold, and fox-like eyes. He was about fifty; but, as he mov-ed about the table, on which Zelonah was placing refreshments, he limped, as if one leg were much shorter than the other, so that, in moving, he seemed at least fen years older than when he stood still. At last the door opened, and every eye was turned to look on the beautiful girl—more beautiful for her very pallor—who stood hesitating to enter. "Lucy, this is Elder Griscom. You have not seen him for years," said her father, pointing to the elder. Lucy bowed, but made no effort to meet the man now limping toward her. "What, my little beauty, my Mountain Lily! Is this the greeting you give the man whose wife you are to be this very night? Come, let me salute you, as is the custom of such occasions." Griscom reached out his arms, but, with a shudder of aversion, she shrank back, while a loud, brutal laugh rang out from the men about the table. "Wait till I have performed the ceremo-ny after supper, elder, and the maiden will not be so coy," said a tall, thin man, with a dirty white neck cloth. "Very well, very well! but, Lucy, you will at least shake hands with me?" Elder Griscom reached out his hand, and Lucy placed her cold little fingers in his grasp. "Now Lucy, we will excuse you. Go and dress. Elder Griscom is compelled to leave by daylight, and it is decided that the cere-mony comes off to night; that is the reason he and his friends pushed through so fast to-day." Lucy bowed, and with a feeling of relief retreated from the choking atmosphere of Griscom's presence to her own room. The white dress she was to wear on this occasion had long been prepared. Light-ing the lamp, she dropped the white mus-lin window curtain, then looked at the dress as if it were a shroud, and was about to cast it from her, but a more prudent resolution came to her. She must seem to acquiesce till the last moment—everything depended on this. It did not take long to throw the dress over the garments she had on, and she had scarcely done so when the eldest of Isaac Henderson's wives, a stout woman with masculine features, came in. "Ah! I'm glad to see you ain't got no tantrums. You allus have 'em—thought you might have 'em to-night. They might do with your father and me, who's been willin to bear with em, but they won't go down with Elder Griscom. He is a man you'd oughter feel proud of. My, how many gals in this valley would jump at the chance of marrying a man high as power-ful in the world's goods, an' among the saints, as the Prophet himself." The senior Mrs. Henderson rattled on in this consoling way, but Lucy was deaf to the maternal eloquence so freely lavished on the saintly Griscom. Perhaps the old woman saw her words were unheeded, or it may be that she felt they were unnecessary at this late hour, when preparations were being made for the ceremony outside; so she left, after giving some further advice on the necessi-ty of a modest and proper deportment da-ring the ordeal through which the noble Griscom was about to pass. Mrs. Henderson, senior; had scarcely closed the door behind her, when Lucy secreted a small pistol in her breast—it was present from Paul St. Clair, which she had nearly forgotten—and then she lower-ed the light till it looked like a glow worm. Raising the curtain, she looked out in the direction of the stables, from which a good deal of noise proceeded, for Gris-com's party had brought a good many horses. From the dining-room she heard the voices of the men at supper, the clatter of knives and dishes, and the boisterous laughter of her would-be husband and his companions. While she was wondering where Ulay was, that person appeared, as if he had ris-en from the ground under the window. "Patience! The white girl must keep good heart; soon all will be ready." "But, Ulay, where are the horses?" "All saddled and waiting." "Then why not start now—at once?" "There are many Mormans about the stables, and Cogswell and his Utes are watching. But that white dress—that will be dangerous," he said, as in the indistinct light he recognized her costume. "True; but I can tear it off in a second the moment we start. It is necessary to leave as soon as possible, for this ceremony the mockery of marriage—will begin as soon as the supper is over." "You are sure?" "I am certain." "Then wait here, Zelonah must under-stand this, and be ready." Ulay sank, vanished as if he had dropped into the earth from which he seemed to have risen. How long the minutes were! And yet if Ulay could not carry out his plans, they would be all too short. Every sound add-ed to the flutter of her heart, and the noise in the dining- room gradually died out warning her of the approach of the dread-ed time. Zelonah entered softly, and whispered they were making ready. "Who; Zelonah?" "The Morman elders." "And Ulay?" "He too has been working, and his plans are complete; but danger lies be-tween us and the horses." "Danger? There is danger on every hand. But in the name of the God whom you worship as the Sun, and I as the dis-penser of all good, lose not a moment. I am ready!" "And we will be. You must pass ou the window. In ten minutes I will be out-side. Leave that white dress behind you." "I will, Zelonah. But speed, my sister, as you love me!" Zelonah kissed her, and had scarcely closed the door behind her, when the el-der Mrs. Henderson again put in an ap-pearance. "It seems to me you are mighty per-tickler about your dress to-night," she be-gan; adding; An' I hope ye'll be as per-tickler to please the good elder arter you become his wife." "I wished to look well," said Lucy, with an effort to appear calm. "You look well enough. Come out, everything is ready." "The elder's wife opened the door, as if to let the victim pass through, but at that instant one of the brown tresses fell over the pale face. "Go out till I fix these. It will only take me a minute." Lucy stepped back, and made a motion as if she would shut the door behind the senior Mrs. Henderson; but that strong-minded and unamiable person was not to be got rid of so easily. She saw her presence was not agreeable at this time to Lucy, but Mrs. Henderson considered this all the more reason for hav-ing her own way. She had never yielded to Lucy, nor allowed her to have her own way, from the moment she first saw her, and she did not intend to relinquish a par-ticle of her authority by assuming a gentle-ness or acquiesence she did not feel to-night. Stirred by these amiable emotions, Isaac Henderson's senior wife came back, and, folding her arms, sat down on the bed, saying as she did so: "I will wait until you fix your hair." Lucy looked at her a moment, and it was evident the woman did not feel comfort-able under her burning gaze, for she rose and said; "Oh, I'm willing to help you! I only want you to understand it ain't consider-ed becomin' or good manners for one so young as you to keep one so old as Elder Griscom waitin'." "And I don't consider it good manners for you to remain, uninvited, in the room of a woman who is preparing for the mar-raige ceremony," said Lucy, in a tone so decided that the senior Mrs. Henderson, with all her ferocity and assumption of authority, began to feel alarmed. "You don't want me to help you, then?" asked she, rising and making a step in the direction of the door. "No—if I wanted you, you would not stay. During the long years I have been in this house, and nominally in your care; you never before offered to help me. I never wanted your help, for I knew you hated me, and I was glad you did, that I might have a reasonable foundation for the instinctive loathing I have ever had for you. We are about to part to-night forever. Let us do so with a proper under-standing of each other. I have finished now. Oblige me by leaving this room!" To say the senior Mrs. Henderson was astounded at this exhibition of indepen-dence on the part of Lucy would but faint-ly convey an idea of that moman's feelings. She was thunderstruck, dumbfounded, and could not find a word to begin a re-ply. Indeed, it was not for a week after this, when calmly deliberating over this interview, that she was at all able to build up replies to Lucy's charges, and then of course it was too late to say anything. Both women stood looking at each other, but gradually the senior quailed, and, shrinking out of the room like one thor-oughly and unexpectedly beaten, she clos-ed the door behind her. Lucy locked the door, after listening, to be assured by the retreating steps that the senior wife of Isaac Henderson was gone: then she hastened back, hastily arranged her hair, and, lowering the light, she raised the window and looked out. Darkness in the garden, and the loud voices of coarse men at the stables. Not a moment to spare. She heard her name whispered, and answered, in a tone equally low: "I am coming!" She tore off the white dress, and threw it on the bed, like a hated thing whose touch was corruption; then she sprang lightly to the window again. "Zelonah?" "Yes. There is no time to spare!" came the answering voice from below the window. Out she sprang, and as she touched the ground, she felt a soft, familiar hand in hers. "Say not a word, but come with me." Zelonah led her with flying feet across the garden and over an intervening fence that surrounded the field in which the stable stood. "See, there is Ulay, waiting!" Zelonah pointed, as she ran, to the three horses, dimly visible in the indistinct light, but standing saddled, with the hand of Ulay on the bridle of each. A few seconds, and they were up where the horses were standing. "Glad you are so far safe!" Ulay grasped the hand of each, and whis-pered: "Have courage now! Freedom is worth all the effort we are going to make." "Yes, yes, Ulay! God bless you, my brave friend!" Ulay would have suffered a hundred deaths to merit such words from her lips. He lifted her gently into the saddle, fixed her little foot in the stirrup, made sure the reins and bridle were right, though he had examined them a dozen times before. Then, with as much care, he saw that his sister was thoroughly secure on the spirited horse he had selected for her; and being satisfied, he adjusted his rifle, felt his pistols on either side of his belt, and sprang lightly on the back of his own horse. Turning his horse's head to the west, he said, in a low tone; "Follow me!" A fierce yell frightened the animals into a mad gallop ; a score of rifles seemed to blaze out in their faces; wild shouts were, heard from the direction of the house, and cries of rage and fear seemed to ring out on every hand. "Do not look back! Keep straight on!" cried Ulay, holding back his own horse, and turning his head to ascertain if they were being pursued. He was not long in doubt—for soon he heard the yells of men coming after and the quick clatter of horses' feet. He made no comment, but giving free rein, away the gallant animals dashed, as if they felt the importance of their mission.

Proposed Book Cliffs Coal Lease by Application Project Description
CAM–Colorado, LLC (CAM) is proposing to lease federal coal reserves located approximately 15 miles north of Fruita, Colorado in Garfield County. CAM submitted a lease by application (LBA) in September of 2006 for 11,735 acres that was later modified to 14,466 in 2008 during the BLM draft tract delineation process. BLM determined that, if this coal is to be leased, it would be by a competitive bid process. BLM will be reinitiating public and internal scoping to develop alternatives for the tract size and location in early 2013.
Additional information about changes in the NEPA review process and the schedule for this project will be posted soon.

Normal pressure fluctuates daily, varying from person to person, but is usually between 100/60 and 130/80. The higher, or "systolic," number measures the pressure of blood flow when the artery is constricted while the lower, or "diastolic," shows the pressure when the artery is fully open and relaxed. Consistent readings of 140/90 and higher over a period of time indicate a need for further medical assessment.
It's important to check your pressure regularly, either during a medical appointment or at one of the free screenings many communities offer. Drugstore machines can be inaccurate but there are many small home monitoring gadgets available, though it's important to avoid becoming obsessive about your B/P.
Various drugs are available to lower blood pressure. If you experience side-effects such as light-headedness or fatigue with a particular drug, your doctor may be able to prescribe an alternative medication.
Factors that increase blood pressure include such lifestyle issues as obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, stress and consuming foods high in salt and sodium, which increases fluid volume in the body and in turn raises pressure. While it's tempting to use convenience foods while on the road, avoid canned foods and soups, sausages, bacon and other high sodium items. Stopping at farmers' markets and roadside stands to buy fresh food can be fun and is healthier.
Besides diet, regular exercise on the road can help lower blood pressure and control weight. Stop routinely for 15-minute walks, daily stretching exercises or regular mini-workouts. Slow, deep breathing and other relaxation techniques are also beneficial. As with any medical condition, if you have high blood pressure always carry your own doctor's contact information as well as a list of your medications and a summary of your medical history.
Did you know that . . .
A few minutes of daily exercise is more beneficial than more rigorous workouts performed only sporadically. Consistency is what counts!

(visited by Omkar Joshi, Antik Shah, Sourabh Porwal and Vishal Desai)
13-Aug-2012 --
This DCP was the second of the three (DCP1, DCP3) we visited in a 5 day expedition from August 11 - August 15 ,2012. The route taken was Kalyan->Nashik->Dhule->Jalgaon->Shegaon->Akola->Kalyan. This narrative is written by including only the DCP relevant stuff from my detailed expedition report.
The day was important - two DCP, separated by a distance of 150km, were to be covered and halt was to be made in Shegaon. But we still started from Jalgaon at leisure and hit NH-6 again. Soon we crossed Bhusawal and halted for breakfast. From here, the Bhusawal Thermal Power Project was visible. We then crossed Warangaon, where I saw an ordnance factory which probably wasn't directly related to DoD<, and continued. We made a mistake - the car was left behind and we rode way ahead. Later, we got confused after seeing the compass which was pointing in the South-West direction for DCP2 and we were heading North-East. After an exercise of traversing towards Bodwad, Chalisgaon, we decided to fallback till Warangaon and begin search afresh. But well before Warangaon(around 11km), the pointer turned perpendicular to the road and we decided to stop. We parked our vehicles at a 'dhaba'.
Antik and Vishy decided to stay back while I and Golu set on the search. We were carrying jackets, camera, tracker, notepad, pen and 1litre water. Traversing fields of Paddy and Jowar and occasional wastelands, we were heading towards DCP2. Due to little or no rains the previous and that day, the soil in the fields was not sticky.The humidity must have been above 60% - we were sweating a lot. We had to cross 2 hillocks which had many shrubs and thorny trees. Again, we came across curious and surprised farmers, some thought we were students, some believed we had come for inspection for setting cell phone towers :P One thing I noticed was the language had a very little Marathi flavor and the diction was quite harsh. After walking for a distance of almost 4km (at least, we felt so), we reached the point. This was on a wasteland and not a cultivated farm. As told by a villager, the village is Hartaala(Hartaale?) and probably is under the Muktainagar police station's jurisdiction. We quickly erected a stick on the point, took the necessary photos and headed back to the highway.
We reached the parking spot at around 1430 hours. We again set towards Shegaon, after some delay due to Vishy's bike stalling. After we crossed Malkapur, the bike gave up again and we had to stop at a 'dhaba'. I and Antik hurried in the car to Malkapur and brought a mechanic along who asked us to change the plug in the next town of Nandure. We obliged. DCP3 visit was pushed to the next day as it was getting dark. After passing Khamgaon, we left NH6 and reached Shegaon, got a comfortable accommodation and went for Gajanan Maharaj's samaadhisthan visit.

Biomass is a natural resource of particular importance. To satisfy the needs of the world population, a more efficient and sustainable use of biomass is essential. Many experts agree that raw materials like biomass should be used several times in a cascading sequence of material uses as efficiently as possible. Furthermore, biomass should only be used energetically at the end of the materials life cycle. This principle is defined as cascading use of biomass.
more »How much surface area and biomass is available for the production of sustainable biofuels in the future, if the feedstock competition for food, feed, industrial materials and bioenergy pathways are taken into account and, furthermore, new options for emerging technologies (e.g. biorefineries, solar fuels, wind power) and resource efficiency concepts (e.g. recycling, cascading use, electromobility) are considered?
more »It is the first time that a study has looked at every kind of bio-based polymer produced by 247 companies at 363 locations around the world and it examines in detail 114 companies in 135 locations.
more »FIBRA network is to link the research and development activities for fibre crop innovations carried out by universities and institutions in both the EU and China.
more »The ambition is to develop an integrated hemp-based biorefinery in which improved feedstock is subject to efficient and modular processing steps to provide fibre, oil, construction materials, fine chemicals and biofuels using all components of the harvested biomass, and generating new opportunities within the developing knowledge based bioeconomy.
more »KBBPPS executes pre-standardization research for bio-based products. The goal is to provide the European and global market with horizontal standards on biomass content and biodegradability that have been assessed on a first set of different products, such as solvents, plastics and lubricants.
more »The 4-year SPLASH project will develop a new biobased industrial platform using microalgae as a renewable raw material for the sustainable production and recovery of hydrocarbons and (exo)polysaccharides from the species Botryococcus braunii and further conversion to renewable polymers.
more »- Towards Technological Innovation and Solid Foundations for a Growing Industrial Biotech Sector in Europe
more »The project "material use of ligno-cellulosic residues from biogas plants for wood-based materials" addresses two important issues: A. The German wood-based panel industry is searching for ligno-cellulosic and alternative raw materials for the production of particleboards and medium-density fibreboards. B. Operators of biogas plants in Germany face the problem of more than 1 mio. t of digestion residues each year, which are mainly used as low-value fertilizer or fuel.
more »The project pursues the goal to assess the depletion of fossil resources and the emission of greenhouse gases in the production of bio-polymers. Therefore, life cycle assessments (LCA) for polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalcanoates (PHA) are gathered and evaluated by means of meta-analysis.
more »BIOFOAMBARK aims at developing the chemistry and technology for preparing fully bio-based insulating foams from wood bark tannins of prevalent European softwoods and from the co-products of biofuels and biorefineries (glycerol, furfuran).

It's not a feature, it's a bug.
When I tired to reply in http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=477556.0
I got this
As I can't able to change http://www.simplemachines.org (2.0.2 Default Theme)
While I made required changes in my http://realinfo.tv (2.0.2 Default Theme)
So I got my page OK
That appears to be a browser issue. Have you tried a different browser to confirm if same thing happens on it as well?
--- Quote from: busterone on May 26, 2012, 12:30:41 AM ---That appears to be a browser issue. Have you tried a different browser to confirm if same thing happens on it as well?
--- End quote ---
No........... it's not browser, window or anything else............. I have done whole research before posting this topic............
I tried on different windows........
Different browsers........ but until it's on "ADS INSERTING ISP", you will get same result............
and just changing your internet provider on same browser, you will get your 2.0.2 ok..............
If the ISP is causing the problem then the ISP should fix the problem. If it effects SMF then likely it will affect other websites and services as well.
Basically the bug is in your ISP's system, have them fix it or switch providers. Eventually the person leasing the connection will figure out that the ISP is no good as it is injecting extra content into web sites.
I would actually be afraid of leasing a connection from them, considering ads are getting injected into the page as they are part of it then I think this should a major concern because now it is a security issue.

As a follow-up piece for all of you dedicated Ozophiles, here are a few more intriguing tidbits about this movie classic. Be sure to look for them on your next trip down the Yellow Brick Road!
Miley Cyrus and Kanye West came up short when the Grammy nominations were announced. Did the year's most popular music stars kill their own chances?
Determined to be open to this new take on an old favorite -- after all, "the wool of the black sheep is just as warm" -- I hunkered down with a homemade habit (not kidding), a bottle of Grüner Veltliner and an unlimited texting plan to exchange notes with my family.
Today is my 97th birthday. I am a lucky man. I've been married to my wife, Anne, for 60 years and she continues to captivate me. When you get to be 97, you can reflect on the lessons you've learned in almost a century of life.
Say what you want about Alex Gansa and the direction of Season 3; the producers still know how to mindf*ck with us every couple episodes.
In South Africa, there were scores of rappers, but the most potent and most political was Prophets of Da City (POC) who wound up being banned by the government because of their lyrics.
Thompson -- who stomps through "Saving Mr. Banks" with a devilish delight -- is turning into a freight train of momentum, the likes of which hasn't been seen since ... well, since Jennifer Lawrence during last year's awards season.
A film 13 years in the making, American Promise, follows two African-American boys from first grade through high-school, showing the challenges and opportunities young black men face in today's education system.
Scorsese shared his feelings about the constraints and difficulties of the industry, and his own shifting relationship to filmmaking. He also shared that behind the making of some of his films lay a spiritual quest.
When it came time to find just the right voice for Papa Smurf, Raja Gosnell and Jordan Kerner were admittedly feeling a little blue. Why for? Because the casting department at Sony Pictures Animation kept coming up short.
Not everyone seemed to share my excitement. At least not in a positive way. Twitter and Facebook seemed to explode with negative comments before the first commercial break.
Young people look to Kanye as a talented artist, which he is. However, if they look to him for anything else, such as someone who knows about politics, basic manners or living in reality, they are going to get a very slanted view of the world.
Sabrina Mayfield was born and raised in Florida to Bahamian parents. As a child, she was in her 4th grade school musical and that was that! Sabrina decided to sing and act forever -- and she's been very successful! And oh, she's addicted to the game Candy Crush.
This is not about just gorillas in Africa, or dolphins in Japan. It is also about pigs, cows and chicken's rights in the U.S.
"I made a Christmas album years back. You only get to sing Christmas songs one time a year and this is it. My drummer Kenny and I got together yesterday and we were singing Christmas songs all day. So we're ready."
Longtime producer Sergio George took home three trophies. They were Producer of the Year (his third time), Producer of Marc Anthony's album (which won Record of the Year) and for Best Salsa Album for "Sergio George Presents: Salsa Giants."
Modestly successful in his lifetime, then relatively forgotten, Vermeer was rediscovered in the 19th Century. He has since become regarded as a grand master.
Blake Freeman who has done reality TV and docudramas was noodling a new movie idea, possibly having to do with art and the marketing/mythmaking surrounding it as a business, when he fell for the pizza delivery guy.
The fact that this festival tends to focus on and celebrate films from the Arab world also makes it unique. I've already put together a lineup of films to see, some of which I've missed at other festivals, most of which I'm just finding out about.
Well, I just finished watching The Sound of Music: Live. I'm on the West Coast, and in summation: The hills are certainly still alive. (Unfortunately, in one respect there is way too much "wood.") Sit back, please. This is not brief.
In its Thanksgiving episode "Big Bang" took a big swing with a high concept that didn't entirely work, and here they try to pull double duty with a serial story and an episodic one.
I'm looking forward to April's wedding, and I'm very concerned about Christina and Meredith: They're recruited as April's "people"; hopefully they remember they were each other's person before mid-season break. The tension is too much for me!

metal toe cap shoes diy |
Vuitton spring 2012 toe cap shoes |
Shiny and metallic, two adjectives that define everything cool right now. Today I used again the mirror paper that was useful to make the Vuitton inspired metal peter pan collar to bring these shoes back on trend. I bought these shoes a few years ago along with a matching bag (with crocodile embossing my weakness) and apparently pastel colors were as trendy as today. I just cut off a piece of mirror paper and glued it onto the shoes. I think that pointy toes will give the better result on this project because the mirror paper is quite stiff and can't be bended on rounded surfaces. The toe cap is not the only detail that can be made. You can also cut different shapes and decorate the heel for example, unleash your creativity.

(I'm not asking for shortcuts etc just help)
Basically, I'm busy with band things and life in general, but I am charting stuff to send to RBN. I didn't realise how time consuming it can be, but I really want to get it done. I find it becoming very tedious at times, and have to back track to remember how to do things etc
Basically, can anyone give any tips on how they go about creating a song in an efficient and more swift manner?
Do you do things in certain orders? etc.
I feel as if the stuff is above me and i'm unable to do it.
I'm STILL dubious about tackling Vocal authoring to the extent of vowel/consonant precision, and the text events, camera/lights etc still throw me - i've just been concentrating on the music charting for now.

The Dagger
Finally free from Mike Krzyzewski's dog house, Rasheed Sulaimon delivers
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog8 hrs agoThe most significant development for Duke during Thursday night's 80-63 victory over UCLAwasn't star freshman Jabari Parker's 23-point, 10-rebound masterpiece or Quinn Cook and Rodney Hood performing well in supporting roles.
None of that was as important as Rasheed Sulaimon emerging from Mike Krzyzewski's dog house and showing glimpses of the player the Blue Devils need him to become.
Hailed as an NBA prospect entering this season after starting every game as a freshman, Sulaimon got off to a stunningly poor start in November, shooting only 34.7 percent from the floor and playing lackadaisical defense at times. Krzyzewski first removed him from the starting lineup and eventually sent an even stronger message by sitting the promising sophomore for the entire game against Michigan on Dec. 3 and all but five minutes against Gardner Webb Dec. 16.
A listless home loss to NC State adds to Tennessee's early-season woes
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog21 hrs agoEight months after narrowly missing the NCAA tournament despite winning eight of its final nine regular season SEC games, Tennessee doesn't appear to be learning from its past mistakes.
The Vols are beginning to dig themselves another early-season hole that could soon be too deep to climb out of during conference play.
A listless 65-58 home loss to NC State on Wednesday night cost Tennessee another chance for a quality win and further shrunk the Vols' margin for error once SEC play begins. Not only have they now lost to Xavier, UTEP, Wichita State and NC State already this season, their only significant win is a victory in their rematch with the Musketeers last month.
One more chance for a notable non-conference victory remains on Tennessee's schedule: a home game against Virginia on Dec. 30. Should the Vols also squander that opportunity, they would be putting themselves in a position where they might need as many as 12 or 13 SEC victories to feel confident about their chances of hearing their name on Selection Sunday.
Aaric Murray's efficient 48-point outing against Temple the best in the nation this season
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoWell-traveled Texas Southern big man Aaric Murray has been putting the ball in the basket a lot this season, but his scoring prowess hasn't often led to wins for his 4-7 team.
Murray had his way with the Temple Owls on Wednesday, scoring 48 points, the single-game high in the nation to this point in the season, and also came away with a 90-89 road win.
The fact that Murray's career-best performance came on the road in Philadelphia had to make it that much sweeter. Murray is from Philadelphia and began his college career there playing two years for La Salle. He lost all five games against Temple when he was playing the Owls as a conference opponent but finally beat them Wednesday.
Drop 48 points in a game and you're likely to get a lot of feedback from friends and foes. Do it in your hometown and you probably get inundated. Murray posted a thank you message on his Twitter account late Wednesday after hearing from too many people to respond to.
I just want everyone to know I see the @'s it's just too many to reply to all. Thanks!!! Truly Blessed
Johnny Dawkins, Stanford get the marquee win they needed at UConn
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoStanford has been so far removed from the national spotlight during Johnny Dawkins' first five seasons that it's hard to identify the embattled coach's most significant victory prior to Wednesday night.
Maybe it was an exciting one-point home win over UCLA in Dec. 2011. Maybe it was a rout of Minnesota in the NIT title game in March 2012. Maybe it was a 24-point thrashing of tenth-ranked Oregon last January.
All of those dropped down a spot as of Wednesday night, however, thanks to a stunning 53-51 Stanford road win at previously undefeated tenth-ranked Connecticut. The Cardinal trailed by 10 at halftime but befuddled the Huskies in the second half with an aggressive zone defense, holding them to just 13 points on five field goals.
Upsetting UConn is clearly Stanford's biggest victory in six years because it breathes new life into the Cardinal's season and Dawkins' fight to save his job.
Texas eases the pressure on Rick Barnes by toppling North Carolina
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoFour days after one embattled high-profile Texas coach resigned, another posted a victory that may go a long way toward helping him keep his job.
Texas coach Rick Barnes took his Longhorns to Chapel Hill and upset North Carolina 86-83, a resumé-boosting victory that suggests the team's 10-1 start isn't merely a product of a modest early-season schedule.
It's remarkable that Texas can beat a Tar Heels team with wins over Kentucky, Michigan State and Louisville considering the nightmarish past 12 months the Longhorns endured.
Plagued by cold shooting and terrible shot selection, Texas lost 11 league games last season and missed the NCAA tournament for the first time in Barnes' 15-year tenure. Seemingly making matters worse, Myck Kabongo and Ioannis Papapetrou turned pro with eligibility remaining and Sheldon McClellan and Julien Lewis transferred, leaving Texas without its four leading scorers from last season.
Amazingly fast first basket a team effort for Michigan State in win over North Florida (Video)
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoIt would be difficult to start a game in more impressive fashion than Michigan State did Tuesday night in its win over North Florida.
The Spartans put the ball in the hole on a Branden Dawson dunk just 4 seconds into the action. What makes the achievement even more impressive is that four Spartans had a hand in making it happen.
Center Adreian Payne won the tip. Gaurd Alex Guana snagged it out of the air and made a stellar pass to Keith Appling who lobbed to Dawson for the dunk. All of that in 4 seconds. Impressive.

Bill Self still feels a series with Wichita State isn't in Kansas' best interest
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoIt's not enough for Bill Self that Wichita State won 30 games last season, advanced to the Final Four and is off to an 11-0 start again this year.
The Kansas coach still doesn't feel he has incentive to deviate from his longstanding policy of not playing a home-and-home series with the Shockers.
Self made that clear Tuesday, telling the Kansas City Star he doesn't believe a series with Wichita State is in the best interest of the Kansas program. The Jayhawks coach noted he has been on the other side of the equation as head coach at Tulsa when he was unable to get a series with Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.
"This isn't knocking Wichita State," Self told the Star. "But if it was best for our program, I would reach out to them about scheduling them. But it's not. I've heard a lot of talk about them wanting to play us so bad; Gregg Marshall's never contacted me about playing."
A lack of quality non-league wins may hurt the Mountain West in March
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoFor once, the Mountain West may not need to worry about furthering its reputation as a perennial underachiever in the NCAA tournament.
Unless the league's non-conference performance improves the next few weeks, it may find it difficult to replicate its usual 3 to 5 NCAA tournament bids, let alone produce any teams seeded well enough to be favored to beat their opening-round opponents.
One year after sending five teams to the NCAA tournament, finishing first in conference RPI and entrenching itself as the West's premier league, the Mountain West has slipped to eighth in conference RPI and the WCC is nipping at its heels for that spot. Though surging San Diego State boasts wins over Creighton, Marquette and Washington, the rest of the Mountain West is a meager 1-21 against teams currently ranked in RealTimeRPI.com's top 70.
UNLV is the symbol of the league's underachievement thanks to a middling 4-4 record highlighted by a stunning 20-point home loss to UCSB and two squandered chances for quality wins at home against Arizona State and Illinois.
Barry Hinson's rant includes mama's boys, snipers, his wife's scoring ability and house-training puppy dogs
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger2 days agoYour browser does not support iframes.
Southern Illinois coach Barry Hinson watched his team drop its fourth consecutive game and eighth of the season Tuesday night at Murray State and was so frustrated by the performance he unleashed a hilarious rant that won't soon be forgotten.
The first sign that something unusual and memorable was in the works after the 73-65 defeat came 30 seconds in when Hinson called his team soft.
"I've got a bunch of mama's boys right now," Hinson said. "We just won't buck up and bow our necks and we've got to get through that."
You can listen to Hinson's complete postgame remarks below. Thanks to OVC Ball for the original.
Hinson didn't handle the situation well, or maybe he did, depending on your perspective, but his frustration is certainly understandable. He has a team that is finding ways to lose close games this season.
Each of the past four losses and six of the Salukis' eight losses this season have been by single-digit margins. Hinson complained that his players are bowing their heads and tuning him out when he tries to coach them.
Florida comes through rugged four-game stretch looking like one of nation's elite …again
Kyle Ringo at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog2 days agoFlorida has made three consecutive trips to the Elite Eight in the NCAA tournament. The Gators are used to prevailing in tough games and physical battles.
So maybe it shouldn't be a surprise that coach Billy Donovan's team successfully navigated one of the toughest four-game stretches any team in the nation will face this year, going 3-1 with a one-point loss on the road to a ranked opponent.
The No. 16 Gators survived a rally from Memphis in the Jimmy V Classic on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden to win 77-75 and finish a brutal 21/2 weeks that included wins over Florida State and No. 13 Kansas and the aforementioned loss at No. 12 UConn.
Forward Casey Prather, one of the most improved players in the country so far this season, was at it again. He scored 22 points to lead all scorers on eight of 13 shooting.

Toldos - Sh'vi'i
Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom
Better Than Nothing, I Guess...
Yitzchak sent Yaakov on his way. Eisav realized how displeased his parents were with his Canaanite wives, so he decided to at least partially rectify things by marrying a member of Avraham's family. He married Machalas, a daughter of his uncle Yishmael. It wasn't a perfect fix, however, as this was in addition to his other wives, who continued to aggravate Yitzchak and Rivka.

Listeners receive notifications when a region is created or destroyed on another node. The methods on a ICacheRegionListener
are invoked asynchronously. Listeners are change notifications that are invoked after
the change has occured. Multiple events can cause concurrent invocation of ICacheRegionListener
methods. If event A
occurs before event B
, there is no guarantee that their corresponding ICacheRegionListener
method invocations will occur in the same order. Any exceptions thrown by the listener are caught by GemFire and logged.
Listeners are user callbacks that are invoked by GemFire. It is important to ensure that minimal work is done in the listener before returning control back to GemFire. For example, a listener implementation may choose to hand off the event to a thread pool that then processes the event on its thread rather than the listener thread.

Bailiff resigns over letters sent to female inmate
Marion County bailiff resigns, faces charges after sending letters to female inmate
Authorities say a former Marion County Sheriff's deputy faces legal trouble after investigators found out that he sent love letters to a female inmate.
Francisco Javier Perez was charged Wednesday with six counts of introducing contraband into the county jail. The 33-year-old resigned from his job when he was arrested shortly after the correspondence was discovered on Valentine's Day.
Reports say a jail trusty told a sergeant at the Marion County Courthouse about the relationship between Perez and 24-year-old inmate Jessica Soverns.
Investigators found letters that had been exchanged between the two.
Perez had been a sheriff's employee for 5 years and became a bailiff in 2009. According to an arrest report, Perez acknowledged sending the letters but denied sexual contact with Soverns.

With the win, BYU improves its record to 13-4 overall and 3-0 in the WCC while Pepperdine falls to 9-7 overall and 1-2 in conference play.
"They spread us out and (Jordan) Baker had a great first half, but the second half we were better," BYU head coach Dave Rose said. "I thought we were a lot more active defensively. We contested passes. We contested shots and dribbles. After the first few minutes, we were finally able to find a way to score. I look forward to our game on Saturday."
Tyler Haws led the way for the Cougars with 24 points – his 11th game of the season scoring 20 points or more. Brandon Davies finished with 19 points and nine rebounds while Matt Carlino grabbed 13 points and was 3 for 4 from the three-point line.
BYU shot only 28.1 percent in the first half, but improved to 58.1 percent in the second half to beat the Waves. The Cougars also had 13 steals to Pepperdine's three and outscored Pepperdine 16-0 in fast break points.
Pepperdine got on the board first at 19:02 with a short jumper, but BYU quickly answered on a Carlino 3-pointer.
At 17:42, Davies lit up the Marriott Center on a fast break dunk and then Zylstra scored after a Davies offensive rebound to bring the score to 8-4.
The Waves went on a 7-0 run five minutes into the half to grab the 13-10 lead. Anson Winder ended the three-minute scoring draught for the Cougars after stealing the ball and finishing an easy layup.
At 10:46, Davies hit one of two free throws to bring the score to its first tie of the half at 13. Offense stayed quiet on both sides of the court until the 8:04 mark when Haws hit two more free throws to give BYU the two-point lead.
Pepperdine quickly answered with a 3-point shot on its next possession and then forced a Cougar turnover to head into the TV timeout up by one. Out of the timeout, the Waves converted on two free throws and another shot from the arc to grab their biggest lead of the night at 21-17.
Haws hit his first field goal of the night at 6:17 to cut the Wave lead to four, but Pepperdine grabbed seven more points to lead 28-19.
Haws picked up some momentum for the Cougars in the next minute and a half and scored seven points, including BYU's second 3-pointer, to cut Pepperdine's lead to four.
With a minute left, Pepperdine extended its lead to nine on a short jumper. Davies hit two more free throws on BYU's next possession and then Zylstra took a charge to give BYU the ball with 8.6 seconds left before the half. With only a second remaining, Davies followed a miss at the rim with his second dunk of the night to cut the Wave lead to 35-30 heading into the half.
Both teams failed to score two minutes into the second half, but at 17:24 Pepperdine scored and BYU answered to make the score to 37-32. Haws was then fouled on a jumper and completed the three-point play to cut the Wave lead to two.
At 14:10, Carlino sunk his second 3-point shot of the night for a 40-39 BYU lead, its first lead since being ahead 15-13 with eight minutes left in the first half.
The Cougars turned their run into 12-straight points and took a seven-point lead before Pepperdine was able to answer. BYU added another 6-0 run to grab the first double-digit point lead of the night at 52-40.
At the 7:33 mark, Haws hit a jumper from the corner to grab 20 points. BYU maintained its double-digit lead throughout the rest of the second half.
With three minutes remaining, Carlino hit another shot from the top of the arc to give BYU a 21-point lead. A minute later, Agustin Ambrosino sunk another 3-point shot for the Cougars for his first field goal of the night.
BYU continued the run to take the 76-51 victory.
The Cougars will play next on Saturday at Santa Clara at 2:30 p.m.
