Hi Mary,
Nice to hear from you! I haven't seen Linda Myrick since I was five or six years old and have no idea how to get in touch with her. Hopefully someone who knows her will eventually see these messages.

Stocks shook off last week's doldrums and finished sharply higher Monday, driven by a round of corporate deal news and strong earnings from Citigroup.
Stocks move higher on earnings, acquisition news
Investors cheered AECOM Technology's $4 billion acquisition of engineering and construction services company URS Corp., sending URS' stock up 11.6 percent and AECOM 8.6 percent.
Citigroup rose 3 percent after the bank turned in better-than-expected results and disclosed it has agreed to pay $7 billion to settle a federal probe into its mortgage securities business. JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs, due to report earnings Tuesday, also got a lift.
All told, the three major stock indexes notched their second gain in two days. That's a turnaround from last week, when the Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 0.9 percent, its worst showing since April.
Concern about Portugal's Espirito Santo International, which reportedly missed a debt payment last week, harked back to issues that spawned Europe's debt crisis.
On Monday, investors appeared to be reassured any problems would be contained.
"Investors are saying if this Portugal thing really isn't significant from an impact standpoint, and the earnings are coming in good ... stocks ought to be going higher," said Phil Orlando, chief equity strategist at Federated Investments.
The major indexes rose in premarket trading as investors digested Citigroup's earnings. They opened in the green and held steady through the entire session.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 9.53 points, or 0.5 percent, to 1,977.10. The index is down 0.4 percent from its most recent all-time high of 1,985.44 set July 3.
Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P 500 rose, led by energy stocks. Utilities fell the most.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 111.61 points, or 0.7 percent, to 17,055.42. The Dow is down slightly from its July 3 record of 17,068.65.
The Nasdaq composite gained 24.93 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,440.42.
The three stock indexes are all up for the year.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.54 percent from 2.52 percent late Friday.
With the market trading near all-time highs, investors will be focused this week on a large number of corporate earnings, including quarterly reports from General Electric, Google, Bank of America and Johnson & Johnson.

The staff provided excellent and friendly service and the venue is comfortable. I would strongly recommend The Olive Terrace for meals.

This Photo Of Tokyo Is Zoomable To A Shocking Degree
Take a look at that photo above. Seems pretty standard, right? Well, zoom in. And keep zooming. There's an incredible degree of detail at work, and you won't start appreciating it until you realize this camera captured not just a city but its people in exacting degree.
The photo is the work of one Jeffrey Martin, and there's a lot more to it than you might at first realize. Martin took two days to shoot the photo and four months to edit together every image he shot. In fact, how he put the image together is almost as interesting as the image itself.
First, Martin had to get permission from the Tokyo Tower in order to ascend to the top and set up his gear. Once he got up there, he used a Canon 7D with a 400mm lens. Needless to say, he didn't shoot the photos by hand; instead he configured a Clauss Rodeon gigapixel robot, essentially a device designed to shoot panoramas, to take photos at a rate of more than one per second. Then he had to move the entire setup around the top of the tower to capture Tokyo at three different points.
When that was done, then came the editing; he had to use a Fujitsu Celsius R920 workstation in order to do the heavy lifting needed to stitch together the thousands of photographs it takes to assemble one of these zoomable panoramas. But the end result is, as you can see, worth it and then some.
If you're interested in more of Martin's photography, he's done more than one panorama of Tokyo and has designed others for Prague and London. Yes, we're sure there's somebody naked in both of them, but we haven't found them yet. You might want to keep an eye out for when Martin is in your city, just in case.

Miami Beach residents give warm welcome to new Alton Road trolley
Every time the doors swung open on the new Alton Road trolley in Miami Beach, the cheery driver was bombarded with questions.
How far do you go? How often do you pass? And is it really free?
At 8 a.m. on Monday, the City of Miami Beach launched a free — thanks to your tax dollars — trolley service to help relieve traffic and improve access to businesses along Alton Road. The street is in the midst of disruptive but necessary improvements along the corridor — one of the Beach's most traveled.
With a route that stretches north along Alton Road, from Fifth Street to Lincoln Road, and then south on West Avenue, city officials figure the new transit loop services 300 businesses.
"I am thrilled," said 60-year old Luz Ceballos.
When it stopped along West Avenue on Monday afternoon, Ceballos was waiting to take her usual route around town on the South Beach local, a circulator bus that costs 25 cents. Instead, she jumped up to ask trolley driver Orlando Crespo about the route and headway times on the new service.
"Magnificent," she said. She climbed aboard.
Ceballos, who said she often shops at the Publix on Alton and Fifth, and likes to walk the Lincoln Road Mall, said she especially liked the 10-minute wait times — noting she has had to wait for an hour to catch the South Beach local.
Emily Jiminiah, 44, hopped on the trolley after shopping for a new pair of pajamas at the Ross on Fifth Street and Alton Road. Like most of the riders, Jiminiah had no idea the new service existed. She simply read the side of the trolley, wrapped in the city's signature colors of blue and bright green, and emblazoned with a route map and the words "FREE RIDE."
Jiminiah called the ongoing Alton Road construction "horrible" and said she would be taking the trolley again to do her grocery shopping at the Whole Foods at 10th Street and Alton Road.
Tourists with suitcases also made use of the trolley, as well as a pair of friends who had traveled to the Beach from Miami to visit the Social Security office. Many riders asked whether the service connected to the Omni station just across the causeway.
"Everybody wants that connection," said Crespo, the driver.
By about noon, Crespo said about 30 people had ridden on the trolley. There are two buses currently in service.
Though the route is limited for now, newly-elected Mayor Philip Levine said at a ribbon cutting ceremony that the city hopes to expand transportation services throughout all of the Beach's neighborhoods.
"What this is about is listening to the residents, listening to the customers, and when the residents speak, being able to get it done post haste," Levine said. "This is the beginning of how things are going to be handled in Miami Beach."
At the inauguration ceremony, City Manager Jimmy Morales noted Miami Beach was able to put together the service in just 52 days.
"Even in the private sector, that's pretty good. But in the public sector, that's unheard of," he said.

Woodstock Groundhog Days
In 1992, something astonishing happened in the historic city of Woodstock, Illinois. People came to town and roped off the picturesque city square, moved all sorts of equipment into the park and started playing the Pennsylvania Polka, over and over and over again. They were filming a movie that has become a favorite of young and old for more than 20 years, and the city gathers each year to remember the fun and celebrate the special community that Woodstock has always been. There are events for everyone during this celebration: Groundhog trivia, free viewing of "Groundhog Day" at the movie theater, walking tours of the film sites, a Chili cook-off, a dinner and dance, bowling, and pancake breakfasts. The main event for Groundhog Day is the annual prognostication. Gather on the Woodstock Square to see Woodstock Willie emerge from his tree trunk home. If he sees his shadow, it means there will be 6 more weeks of winter and if he doesn't see his shadow, it means we will have an early Spring.

Apr 24, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is only an update for Fire Emblem Awakening, but it is a good one, especially for its free price. It adds one more chapter to the game, in which you battle reflections of your team (Note: Like the other chapters, this is NOT replayable). Upon beating the level IF you kept "Aversa" alive the whole time you will recruit her as a playable character, so this is one you WILL want to save before facing (It's kind of like facing a Legendary in Pokemon). Though the Character is mainly sex appeal, she does have interesting dialogue and makes an excellent wife as genetically if you marry her, your child (Morgan) will be able to use tomes regardless of class. She is a powerful addition to any players team, and belongs among your highest ranks.
Note: Her level "The Wellspring Of Truth" will not be playable until players reach the final chapter, or have beaten it, and her support conversations are only available with the avatar excluding DLCs.… Expand

There are only 16 enemies on this map, and all copy the stats, skills and class of the units you use during the fight. 2 are always the same, a copy of Chrom and the recruited character, and the units you bring into the mix. In the end, the recruited unit (If she stayed alive at the end) joins you along with her signature skill Shadowgift, allowing her to use Dark Magic Tomes even if she isn't a Dark Mage or a Sorcerer (If she can use a Tome, that is.)… Expand

Got a minute?
If you're looking for work right now, you're probably already doing a lot to optimize your chances of getting hired. Sometimes, it's easy to forget the small things that can help you get your resume to the top of the stack and your name on the list of potential hires.
It's not something you read about very often, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does keep data on professions with high incidence of suicide. Currently, lawyers are fourth on that list, the CDC tells CNN, right behind dentists, pharmacists, and physicians. What they can't tell us, exactly, is why lawyers rank so high on the list, or specifically what makes some professions more prone to suicide than others.
When you get an in-person interview, the pressure is on to put your best foot forward. You want to impress your interviewer with your knowledge, background, and skills. Funny how little things we take for granted make a big difference. Consider these three little-known ways to make the right impression and be remembered for the right reasons next time you get the call to come in and meet the hiring manager in person.
Today is a day off for some in the U.S., and a day of contemplation for many. Since 1986, we've observed January 20 (or the third Monday of the month) as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, to remember the legacy of the civil rights leader who used civil disobedience to fight racial inequality. If you're reading this at the office today, there's much you can do to honor Dr. King's memory, and make your company a better place to work.
For many of us, work is more than just a way to pay the bills. It's a big part of our identity, perhaps the foundation of our social life, and the major way we use our time. With workdays growing longer, and the separation between work and personal life growing ever thinner, it's increasingly hard to tell if we're just doing what we need to do, or letting work take over our lives completely.
Wouldn't it be lovely if employers rewarded employees for helping to ensure that business is in compliance with the law? Unfortunately, too many employers would rather not spend the money to keep up with health and safety standards, or be caught when they are guilty of wage theft. In other words, your boss might consider whistleblowers a nuisance.
Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life, the saying goes. Of course, no one is really sure who said it. Attributions on the internet range from Confucius to Martina Navratilova. But the more important question is, can we really expect to do what we love, in today's world -- and should we?
This is proof positive that there is an app for absolutely everything. A new app, appropriately called Quit Your Job, will send the boss a text message, saving you the time and trouble of dealing with the situation, face to face.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't attempt to guess at how many careers we'll have in our lifetimes, and for a good reason: the definition of what constitutes a career change is hard to determine. Most of the time, roles evolve, becoming gradually very different over the course of many years. But what about when you're planning on making a real jump to something totally different?
When we were kids, our teachers told us that the jobs we've have as adults hadn't been invented yet. We bet even those far-thinking folks couldn't have predicted occupations like Zumba instructor and data scientist.
There's nothing more frustrating than investing in an interview process, only to be rejected by the prospective employer. Before you sink into an abyss of self-recrimination, think constructively about the situation. You might find an opportunity amidst the disappointment.
We all have habits that we'd like to change, and some of those habits decrease our work productivity. Procrastination and messiness are big problems for some professionals, but there are also seemingly small habits such as nail-biting or hair twirling that, believe it or not, can have negative repercussions at work. They look unprofessional and color how bosses, co-workers, and clients perceive you. The following three basic approaches to changing bad work habits may be applied to any and all behaviors you'd like to change.
Do you think you're a special person, or that the world would be a better place if you were in charge? You may or may not be right, but a recent study says you're more likely to ascend to a leadership position, if you have a little dash of narcissism in your makeup.
A weak December jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics not withstanding, 2014 is poised to be the year for job growth in the United States, according to Moody's Analytics. Of course, even if the economy does generate the 2.6 million jobs predicted, those gains won't be felt equally in every state.
What dating sites have done for single people looking for romantic partners, Collegefeed hopes to do for college students hunting for jobs. Headquartered in Mountain View, Calif., and founded by Sanjeev Agrawal, Google's former head of product marketing, the company uses data analysis and human insight to match college students with jobs at employers like eBay and Cisco.

Bombers lefty Wes Kistler was outstanding for the second game in a row, allowing just one unearned run on four hits in six innings, but Beecher City's Tyler McKay was even better, as the Eagles edged the Brownstown baseball team Tuesday, 1-0.
McKay allowed just two hits - singles by Levi Tackett and Cody Robbins - in a complete-game effort, as he struck out 15 and walked four.
Nick Casey is a man accustomed to wearing many hats.
Husband. Father. Principal. Athletic director.
And - as if that weren't enough - he's spent the past 12 winters coaching the boys basketball team at his alma mater, Ramsey High School.
But with a growing family, Casey has concluded that there are simply not enough hours in the day to continue multi-tasking at the same pace.
Therefore, the man who led the Rams to their first regional title since 1942 has decided to step down as head basketball coach.
When the VCHS baseball team plays sound defense, it has shown the ability to be a championship-caliber club.
That was evident last week in three straight conference victories, as the Vandals positioned themselves nicely for an SCC-East title run coming down the home stretch of the league slate, thanks in large part to solid glovework.
But when the Vandals struggle defensively, things have tended to get out of hand in a hurry.
Such was a case against Greenville Monday in a deceiving 10-3 setback.

Game 4 - Winner Game 2 vs. Winner Game 3, 11 a.m.
During his coaching career, Blackburn College Coach Kirk Chandler has seen a few players that can hit from anywhere on the floor.
Vandalia grad Ryan Smith happens to be one of them. With good size, both in height (6-foot-5) and weight (215 pounds), Smith could more than hold his own on the inside. He also had the tools to hit from beyond the arc.
The VCHS softball team had its best offensive showing of the spring Monday at Litchfield.
Unfortunately, the host Purple Panthers did as well.
After being shut out over the first three innings, Litchfield exploded during the second half of the game, putting up crooked numbers in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings in a 13-7 come-from-behind victory over the Lady Vandals.
Baseball, quite simply, can be the most baffling of the "big three" team sports.
It can also be the cruelest.
Flush with confidence and five days removed from its first win over Greenville in as many years, the Vandals looked almost certain to extend their winning streak to four games late in Monday's contest against visiting Litchfield.
A scintillating four-run rally in the bottom of the sixth had staked the Vandals to a 4-1 lead - a margin that seemed safe, considering ace Dallas Gray was buckling knees and hurling a four-hitter.
Mitch Whightsil and Dallas Gray both homered, helping the Vandalia baseball team bounce back from Monday's tough loss to Litchfield with a resounding 9-1 win over SCC-East rival Pana at home Tuesday.
Gray's round-tripper was his fourth so far this spring, and the senior finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
Whightsil was also 2-for-3, driving in four runs.
Brenden Wasmuth picked up the victory, allowing just one earned run on one hit and four walks in five innings.
More details on the game will be available in The Leader-Union's May 1 sports section.

Return of the King
With Richard Petty back in control, RPM is firing on all cylinders.
By May 11, 2011 / Photos by F. Peirce Williams
The last few years have been difficult for Richard Petty. Winner of 200 NASCAR races and seven championships between 1964'79, "The King" lost control of his family's team whose roots go back to NASCAR's founding in 1949 when Richard's father Lee built and raced his own car. In those rough and tumble days, Lee Petty established himself as one of NASCAR's toughest hombres, winning 54 Grand National races and three championships in 1954, '58 and '59. Richard started driving a second Petty Enterprises car in 1958, scored his first win two years later and his 200th and final win in 1983. He finally retired in 1992 when he was 55 years old. In total, the team has won 273 first division NASCAR races over 62 seasons.
In recent decades the Petty team has been much less successful, winning only seven races in the last 26 years. As NASCAR boomed and costs escalated, Petty Enterprises was left behind. In 2008, Richard sold the majority of his team to Boston Capital, a private equity firm. A few months later, a merger was completed with Gillett Evernham Motorsports, but primary owner George Gillett was dogged with financial troubles, defaulting on large loans in both America and the U.K.
Through 2009 and 2010, Petty found himself unable to operate effectively as the team's leader and as Gillett's financial problems worsened, Petty found a new partner in Andrew Murstein, president of Medallion Financial. Medallion finances the purchase of taxi medallions in New York, Boston, Chicago, Newark, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and Murstein purchased Gillett's $90 million debt for less than $50 million after Gillett defaulted on his loan earlier in the year. At the end of last season, Petty invested several million dollars to buy his team in partnership with Murstein and Doug Bergeron's DB Investments.
"I don't want to retire because I'd have to start a new life," Petty grinned. "I've been doing this so long, this is my life. If I didn't do this I'd have to look for something else, and at 73 years old, I ain't ready to look for nothing else. I don't want to start another career."
Petty took a one-third stake in Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM) and has taken a hands-on role as the team's boss. "A couple of good guys, Andy Murstein and Doug Bergeron, have helped us financially," Petty said. "Everybody chipped in. When my two partners came aboard we told them what the circumstances were and where we were at, and they came aboard anyway. I said if they would help us with the financial part, then my crowd would run the racing part, which we've not been able to do the last couple of years. We really didn't have control of either side, neither the financing nor the mechanical and racing side. But we've got our people back on the mechanical side and so far they're doing a pretty good job.
"You get some investors who think they know more about the business than you do. But these guys said: `Look, we're in the taxi business and the investment business. You're in the racing business. We'll work on our end of the deal and you do your job, and everybody will come out doing a lot better than we were doing.'"
RPM ran four cars last year, and the reorganized team runs two Fords this year for a pair of veteran road racers, A.J. Allmendinger and Marcos Ambrose. Allmendinger drives the famed Petty No. 43 and came up through Formula Atlantic and Champ Car, demonstrating plenty of talent by winning the Atlantic championship in 2003 and five Champ Car races in '06. As Champ Car struggled to survive, Allmendinger moved to NASCAR in '07 with Red Bull before joining Petty in 2009. Australian Ambrose won the British Formula Ford championship in 1999 and took consecutive Aussie V8 Supercar titles in 2003 and '04. In 2006, Ambrose was determined to make the move to NASCAR with JTG/Daugherty and Michael Waltrip Racing, winning a Nationwide race at Watkins Glen in '08. But Ambrose decided that he needed a change and joined RPM at the end of last season. Stanley sponsors Ambrose's car and Best Buy backs Allmendinger's car.
RPM is a small team with fewer than 50 employees, and the highly regarded Robbie Loomis runs the shop. Todd Parrott is crew chief on Ambrose's car and Mike Shiplett is Allmendinger's crew chief. "Putting the team back together and pulling together all the sponsorship and the cars was a big job," Petty said. "All of us pulled together to make it happen. Like I told 'em, it's your team. They've got to make it work and they really bore down and worked hard."
Most of RPM's chassis are supplied by Roush-Fenway Racing, Ford's top NASCAR team, and the engines are built by Robert Yates, also a longtime Ford man. The team began the switch to Ford last year and Petty hopes to rebuild the team over the next few years into a four-car operation with Ford's full support. "Edsel Ford and [Ford's racing boss] Jamie Allison have told us they believe RPM can be NASCAR's next four-car team and they are here to support us," commented RPM's CEO Lisa Brown. "Jack Roush, and Robert and Doug Yates have said the same thing, and for us to be given this support in a quick turnaround of securing the business has really allowed us to come out of the box in pretty good shape."
Brown met Petty in 2008 and worked for him as a consultant during the negotiations with Boston Capital and George Gillett. Prior to that, Brown worked in TV sales and marketing for 16 years, then joined AOL and ran a couple of e-commerce businesses for Barry Diller. Last year, Brown approached Murstein, who had been talking to Petty and other NASCAR teams. Murstein liked the idea of acquiring a major interest in Petty's family team and brought Doug Bergeron of DB Investments into the picture.

This week I will talk about CAD import. Many times, the first task a new user of COMSOL is up to is to lay their hands on the CAD models of the design team. After all, COMSOL handles the analysis, which needs to be closely tied with the design process. Ideally, design and analysis is integrated in one single process. There are different ways to marry the CAD models with the analysis. File based import is maybe the most common […]Read more ⇢

Dutch world maps of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, with their decorative pictures and elaborate typography, stand in sharp contrast to the wholly practical maps of today, which emphasize precise detail and consistent scale. Art, since the Impressionist period, has seemingly moved in the opposite direction, toward a less realistic interpretation of the world around us. Edward S. Casey demonstrates that the disciplines of mapping and painting, long thought to have diverged, are again intersecting. Earth-Mapping describes the ways in which artists of the last half century have incorporated ingenious mapping techniques into their art works. Beginning with a reassessment of the pioneering earth art of Robert Smithson in the 1960s and 1970s, Casey follows Smithson's legacy in the works of Sandy Gellis, Margot McLean, and Michelle Stuart. He also explores the visions of the earth found in the abstract paintings of Richard Diebenkorn, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Eve Ingalls, and Dan Rice. Focusing on forms of mapping that depart radically from conventional cartography - particularly "mapping with/in," being with or in a place, and "mapping out," communicating that experience of connection with others Casey - shows how earth art and abstract painting respectively reshape our landscape and our view of it, drawing us in from our bird's-eye view of the grid of highways and roads. In these works, we come to see the earth as it is sensed, remembered, and reshaped by artists as they explore the effect of the landscape on humans and the human effect on the landscape, and as they demand a response to the changing world around us.
|Prologue : mapping it out with/in the earth
|Mapping with Earth Works : Robert Smithson on the site
|Memorial mapping of the land : materiality in the work of Margot McLean
|Mapping down in space and time : Sandy Gellis collecting traces
|Plotting and charting the path : voyaging to the ends of the earth with Michelle Stuart
|Getting oriented to the earth : Eve Ingalls bringing line and paint to bear
|Maps and fields : Jasper Johns and Richard Diebenkorn on icons and the land
|Absorptive versus cartographic mapping : Willem de Kooning on bodies moving in the landscape
|Locating the general in the earth itself : Dan Rice on biding time in place

Flowers in the Attic is a novel by V. C. Andrews first published in 1979. The first in the Dollanganger Saga, it was followed by Petals On The Wind (1980), If There Be Thorns (1981), and Seedsof Yesterday (1984). (Garden Of Shadows (1987) was much later revealed to have been written wholly by a ghostwriter after Andrews' death the previous year). Flowers has been adapted twice into film: first in 1987 and again for television by Lifetime in 2014.A lurid tale of lies, secrets, betrayal, and child abuse, Flowers in the Attic is the story of Cathy Dollanganger, her older brother Christopher, and their younger siblings Carrie and Cory. Following the death of their father, their mother Corrine takes her children to live with their rich grandparents, who had previously disowned her for Dating What Daddy Hates. Now her father is dying, and Corrine is determined to get back into his good graces in time to inherit his estate. What the children do not know until they arrive is that their grandfather does not know they exist, and that their mother must keep them a secret until she can break the news to her father.Upon arrival at Foxworth Hall, the four children are locked in one room under the care of their grandmother, who soon reveals the shocking truth about their mother's disinheritance. All too quickly, the children learn that they will be forced to remain in the attic until their grandfather dies. But as the wait drags from weeks to years, Cathy realizes that their only chance to survive is to escape.

I just have to get this out. This chapter had such shock value. For anyone not wanting spoilers, do not read. Seriously. You don't want these spoilers.
You sure you wanna read on?
Ok, here goes.
HOLY **** (insert swearword of your choice)! The fight was good, then came to interesting inner monologue of Sasuke about how he felt about Naruto, and then... THAT LAST IMAGE! I dare you look anyone into the eye and say "yeah, I saw that coming." I! WAS! STUNNED! Their arms are f***ing gone! Obliterated in that last attack! I expected either both of them to survive, but not get more than maybe some scars from it, or for one or both of them to die. Not this! It's unbelievable! But I have to say I like it. Why? BECAUSE IT'S A SURPRISE! Seriously, whenever I read a manga or watch an anime or something I usually think "ok, there are these likely events" and I think of maybe 2 or 3 different turns of events, and often I'm right about what I think is most likely, and nearly always I'm right about at least one of the events. This... I freakin' didn't think of it. It was unforseen. Unlike the "Tobi is Obito" theory, which many saw coming from the moment "Tobi" was introduced, this I think I'm right in saying surprised us all.
So what's left for the final 2 chapters? We'll just have to wait and see. But unlike what I feared, it seems Naruto as a series can end with its honor intact. That's what that one final image of chapter 698 makes me feel.

Luke Ridnour hit a floater in the lane at the buzzer, capping Minnesota's comeback from 18 points down in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves beat the Utah Jazz 100-98 on Wednesday night. Utah's Al Jefferson sank a jumper with Kevin Love in his face to tie the score at 98-all with 7 seconds remaining. After a timeout, Ridnour took a pass from J.J. Barea, drove the lane, and sank a shot over Jefferson as the buzzer sounded. Barea finished 22 points and tied a career high with five 3-pointers, and Ridnour added 17 points. Paul Millsap scored 25 and Josh Howard added a season-high 19 to lead the Jazz, who lost their third straight and stumble into the All-Star break.
