Great tour. Nice and comfortable coach bus with wifi. Drove all through Paris showing all the major attractions. Was dropped off at Eiffel Tower where another tour representative met us to give tickets to the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River Cruise. Was very impressed with all the languages the tour guy spoke making it easy for everyone to understand directions. Well organized tour.

We LOVED the Seine River Cruise! It made our day of exploration perfect. We got on and enjoyed the beautiful views from the boat then got off and explored Paris. It was everything we hoped it would be! I would definitely recommend it to everyone as a fun way to get around Paris and see everything. THANK YOU!

OMG - what could I say but about this tour, its an absolute must if you are in Paris. I had my wish to see the Eiffel Tower at night but to see the flashing lights go off on the hour as well really topped it off : The Seine River Cruise was so relaxing, the food was scrumptious and plentiful, the Moulin Rouge Show was truly wonderful, the costumes and performers were so professional. Booking this tour with Viator gives you priority entrances to the tower and the show. After the tour the bus will take you back to your hotel. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR, thank you Viator for such wonderful tours. :

Lindsay was wonderful. We were in a large group of about 20 and she thoughtfully answered all questions and provided good information about the Eiffel Tower. The Seine River cruise was lovely and very enjoyable. This is a must if you're touring Paris!
Doing what: Paris Night Combo: Skip-the-Line Eiffel Tower Tour and Seine River Cruise with Champagne
This was the highlight of our trip to Paris . The skip the line access is a must as there is a 2-3 hr queue. Our guide violet was really good she explained everything we needed to know about the tower and also pointed out some of the sights from level 2 . The views are stupendous ! There is a cafe on level 2 which is quite reasonable. With the ticket you are free to go up the the summit which is not to be missed so definetly do that. And we bought a glass of champagne at the summit which made the experience special. We spent over 4 hrs exploring the tower as the is a little visual display on level 1. There are toilets available on levels one and two. Included in our ticket was the seine river cruise which was also good it was lovely relaxing onboard whilst viewing the sights and listening to the guided tour . This is also a brilliant tour to do as you can spend as little or as much time as you like exploring . Thank you violet for all your assistance

The Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and the Eiffel Tower Lunch was wonderful! This is a must tour if you ever find yourself visiting Paris France!

The late afternoon tour allowed us to see Paris by day and still go on the River Cruise while it was light enough to see the bridges and the sights along the Seine River. Shortly after we disembarked the cruise, the tower was illuminated, which was quite spectacular!

This is the best way to tour Paris, very highly recommended! This boat stops at all the major attractions, you hop off where you want to explore, go touring, then hop back on and go to the next stop. The Seine river cruise is awesome, just viewing all the bridges and the architecture of all the buildings is awesome. This is the most affordable way to tour Paris.

Absolutely loved the Eiffel Tower, Paris Moulin Rouge and Seine River Cruise. The meal at the tower was of a high standard, and we sat with excellent people from America. The Moulin Rouge was marvellous, the costumes, the performance very nice and the river cruise was particularly nice because we had seen most things in the daylight...the evening lights made it quite spectacular

Unless you want to wait for hours in long endless queues, you have to take skip-the-line Eiffel tower tour. Our guide Will the Englishman was very knowledgeable about the History of Paris. Overall, the tour was amazing, and we ended it with a river cruise along the Seine. Really worth it.

Fantastic tour!!! Worth every cent. Well organized, good food, lovely guides. Moulin Rouge is a must in Paris!! Eiffel Tower was awesome! We chose the Seine River River cruise dinner so that we could go to top level of Eiffel Tower - the lines to get up are big! Need the full hr and 1/2 to explore.

Our guide was wonderful and his knowledge of the history of Paris and the Eiffel Tower made the tour a great experience. His passion for this beautiful city and his country pride were clear. From our perspective, this is the ONLY way to catch the elevator up the Eiffel Tower. Very much enjoyed the Seine River Cruise, very relaxing and a great way to see the city.

We loved that we got to skip the massive lines of the Eiffel tower with this tour.
We met up at 11.30 at the tour company's location. From there we boarded the bus where they gave us our Cruise tickets and Eiffel tower passes.
The bus went around and took us past most of the popular landmarks that Paris has to offer before arriving at the magnificent Eiffel Tower. We got our passes and went straight in to the lift to the 2nd floor. We didn't buy tickets to go to the 3rd level as the view from the 2nd was breathtaking.
Unfortunately we didn't have great weather towards the end of the day as it rained for a couple of days. But since we had the tickets, we went the following day where the weather was better. The place was easy to locate as it was all explained during the tour and it was right beside the Eiffel Tower too. The cruise isn't romantic or anything, but it is a good way to see Paris from the Seine River. There are many people along for the ride with you.

We bought this tour as a way to skip the line, but it turned out to be very enjoyable. Our tour guide was very nice and he provided A LOT of background, history and even gossipy information about the tower and Paris in general. They used audio devices so even if you stayed behind or there was noise in the surroundings, you could hear him well. From all four points of the tour, the places of interest were pointed out. They leave you to explore the third floor on your own, which was great too. The Seine River cruise was nice but not excellent. It did provide another view of the city and it was a nice, quite time after the crowd in the tower. The ticket for the cruise was valid for 24 hours, which is a great alternative if you want to wait and do the cruise later on.

Great way to see 3 of the popular tourist attractions in Paris. Enjoyed talking with people from other parts of the world during dinner at the Eiffel Tower. We also had a great night for the evening Seine River Cruise and saw a beautiful sunset behind Notre Dame. And, of course, everyone needs to experience the Moulin Rouge Show. We really appreciated the tour company dropping us off near our hotel after the late show.

This was an excellent tour. The meeting point at Palais de Chaillot provided an outstanding initial viewing point of the tower. The guide, Jelena, was very informative and provided us with a great insight into the history of the tower and the man himself as we wandered down to the tower entrance. We skipped the huge line straight to level 2 where we had marvellous views and further commentary of the sights from Jelena. She then left us but our ticket entitled us to a ride up to the summit - no skip the line here so you need to be prepared to wait patiently. Later in the day we used the River Cruise Ticket that was provided and this proved to be a relaxing way to see Paris from the Seine.

Very good tour. Well organized. Friendly tour guide.
No waiting at the Eiffel Tower : We took the Seine River Cruise the next day with nice sunshine.
I would highly recommend this tour - well worth the money. Perfect if you have a few days and like to see most of Paris!
Doing what: Paris City Tour, Seine River Cruise and Eiffel Tower
Our tour guide was very personable and informative. The Seine River cruise was on one of the smaller sightseeing boats, so we got a great view of the City from the water. Dinner wasn't bad, but not impressive, either. Paris by night was beautiful. Our guide really gave us a great tour. Worth the money

The Seine River Cruise was excellent, the meal was awesome, the waite staff were very professional and cordial. The visit to the Eiffel Tower was breathtaking, beautiful sunset, city view all around, nice shops and enjoyment without the overwhelming crowd press. The Moulin Rouge show was great enjoyed the dancing, the comedy and the musical tributes and the roller skating overall it was wonderful though a bit risque. I recomment that anyone going to Paris sign up for this tour.

This was a perfect way to end our Paris trip!
Both my 15 year old boy and 12 year old girl enjoyed this night it was one of the highlights of our trip!
Dinner on the Eiffel Tower was awesome! While the menu was set, all three of us has plenty to eat and drink. The Seine River Cruise was beautiful and the night rounded out with the Moulin Rouge show. It was a late night --- we got back to the hotel just after 2 a.m.! --- but well worth it!
I highly recommend this tour!

This was an excellent tour and our guide for the Eiffel Tour Katrino with an 'o' was very informative and answered all our questions - she was a really nice person, with a good sense of humour. 'Skip the line' actually does save you a lot of time and I highly recommend it, especially as the weather is getting warmer and the crowds bigger. Whilst we paid 5 Euro p.p the afternoon before to climb the stairs independently to Levels 1 and 2, we realized when we did this guided tour of the Eiffel Tower the next day, that you really do need to pay the extra to get the personal commentary. It was worth it, plus this tour gives you the option to go to the Summit, which is a must, even if you do have to wait in line for this extra level. Our guide also gave us additional instructions at the end of the tour so we could get to other tourist spot/s during our stay in Paris, which was very nice of her. Surprisingly the Seine River cruise was also excellent. It was relaxing, with minimal crowds and we could buy coffee and a crepe onboard for virtually the same price as on the street. Suggestion: do the cruise in the warmth and light of day. The last time I was in Paris I cruised at night and it was cold, plus I didn't see as much as I should have. Highly recommend the 10.00am start for this combined tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed the champagne cruise, it is great value for money. We got 4 tastings of champagne while going down the River Seine seeing the main sights. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions we had about the champagnes or the sites in Paris, he was also very helpful and friendly with suggesting places to go afterwards. I would recommend spending a little more and doing this rather than just the cruise itself. Great start to a nice night!

My wife and I had a wonderful trip to Paris. The highlight of the trip was the Eiffel tower, Seine river cruise and the Moulin Rouge show. We had low expectation of the dinner at the Eiffel tower thinking we are going for the view not the food. Wrong, the food and service was excellent. Try the lamb. Seine cruise - Paris is so beautiful at night it's a must see. Finished the night at Moulin Rouge Cabaret Feerie a must see. Most important, we had a great driver, bypassed the lines and Viator made it so easy.

Saw all the highlights of Paris via comfortable coach bus, then taken to the Eiffel Tower where we had a designated elevator departure time. The cruise down the river Seine was a completely different, beautiful view of the city. This was a great mix of adventures all wrapped into one trip!

A proposal to hike Summit County's sales tax would fund improvements at the county jail, as well as build an $80 million arena in downtown Akron. And as Kabir Bhatia from Ohio Public Radio station WKSU reports, Summit County Sheriff Steve Barry says that's a win-win for the city of Akron.
County Council is considering putting a one-quarter-percent sales tax increase on this fall's ballot. The increase would bump the tax up to 7 percent. On a $20,000 purchase, that's an extra $50.
The extra revenue would be about $20 million a year. Most of that – around $13 million—would go toward improvements at the county's 911 dispatch system and jail. But the rest—$7 million – would seed a new arena for the University of Akron basketball teams.
Summit County Sheriff Steve Barry says he has not gaged voter sentiment on marrying the jail to the arena, but he's for the proposed ballot issue.
"Whatever works for helping to revitalize downtown Akron and build up the University. It is one of the biggest employers in the county," said Barry, "and I believe that the James A. Rhodes Arena is getting up there in age a little bit. I believe it would be better for the city, as well as the county, to have another facility to bring in different sports programs and community events."
County officials say state funding has been steadily reduced since 2007, while Summit County has cut its budget by about $100 million.
The new sports arena would be near Canal Park in downtown Akron. The James A. Rhodes Arena was built in 1983.

Cannes Film Festival jury member Kate Beckinsale looked stunning as she arrived at the Chopard 150th Anniversary Party during Cannes Film Festival last night.
This for me is more like it from Kate.
She didn't get how to style her Balmain dress at last night's "Biutiful" Premiere, but she looks more comfortable wearing this pink Temperley London Diabolo beaded drape gown.
It's cute, embellished and girlie. Perfect for Kate.
Her look was paired with Chopard jewels and once again uninspiring footwear.
Has this girl never heard of a strappy sandal?

W-B woman charged with assaulting police officer
Police say a Wilkes-Barre woman tried to pick a fight with officers while they attempted to arrest the father of her daughter's child.
Wilkes-Barre police arrested Shvonne Stephen, 42, of 98 S. Main St., after she punched an officer in the back and tried to incite a fight while they took Dashawn McClendon into custody by order of Judge David Lupas.
When officers attempted to handcuff McClendon, two females ran into the apartment screaming. One of the women, Shaniyah Tinal, got between officers and McClendon, preventing them from patting him down and handcuffing him. Tinal is the mother of McClendon's child. Officers pushed Tinal away from McClendon as Stephen cursed at officers and told them Tinal was pregnant. Officers pulled Tinal away when she attempted to remove items from McClendon's pockets. Stephen then punched one of the officers in the back and attempted to remove Tinal's handcuffs.
Stephen was charged with one count of aggravated assault and one count of hindering apprehension. She was released on $2,5000 unsecured bail set by Magisterial District Judge Rick Cronauer. Her preliminary hearing is set for 10 a.m. on May 13 before Cronauer.

I was supposed to have a room with two 2-year-olds.
Because of some unfortunate dealings last week, the center where I work lost 2 teachers.
I am now in a room with nine 3-year-olds. I have a co-teacher (trainer) in with me for a week, maybe two, and then I'm on my own.
I came home from work and collapsed as soon as I got up into my room. I woke up 4 hours later, and I'm about to head back to bed for the night.
My feet and lower back think it's the Apocalypse.
But somehow it was still a good day?
Falling asleep at laptop. Goodnight.

Most Americans were unaware of the missing last chapter; the movie even follows the American novelization. Why in America was the 21st chapter removed when it first came to the US? In Europe the chapter is in, and now the US has the 21st chapter, but why was it removed in the first place?
Short answer: It was a decision by the american publisher. The European edition always had the final chapter.

I would like to know if it is possible to listen to one audio stream via the audio-jack speakers and to the other via the usb headset (that would just give me an ability to watch movies in English together with my wife watching it translated).
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If there seems to be no solution that would look like a nice programming task :)

Republican-turned-independent Crist, widely rumored to be mulling a 2014 run for governor as a Demcorat, added more fuel to that fire today by attending a Bill Clinton-headlined fundraiser for Democratic congressional candidates Lois Frankel and Patrick Murphy in West Palm Beach.When PostOnPolitics mentioned witnessing Van Duzer's hug of Obama, Crist said: "You know what? I wanted to stop by the guy….Where is his place?"
Crist also conceded that he has been dethroned as Florida's bipartisan presidential hugging champion.
PostOnPolitics began telling Crist that Van Duzer's embrace of Obama "kind of put your hug –"
"To shame," Crist said, completing the sentence.

Hi guys 'n' girls.
Just want to show you a city map I'm working on, in which a good part of the book I'm writing takes place in.
It sits in the world of Durthaen, a world I have already mapped:
The city of Loxfree is the largest urban centre in the world, so it needs to be a good size.
I started by using ArcMap to generate a DEM which I turned into hillshading and pulled into Photoshop to do the rest.
So far I've got The basic shape set out with a few of the more important buildings and main cobbled roads.
At the moment I'm doing this at 300dpi at a size of 24" X 34", but the photoshop file size has already reached over half a GB. If it starts causing problems I'll have to think about reducing it to half 18" X 24", but I'm hoping I wont have to.
The attached version of Loxfree is a heavilly reduced version to save on downloading time.
Questions and comments most welcome.

Other recruits
Kale Abrahamson- committs to Northwestern
Marcus Bell- Marshalltown CC 6'8 PF
Also remember our committs
I know i know another recruits page, but a lot of them are scattered. I wanted to consolidate all the talk to one spot, but who can predict us fanatics?
I would take any of the first 3. Ray Lee has good size and would be a change of pace from Sledge. SDW would be an athletic 2 and a slasher, something we haven't had in years. I've had my eyes on NWC for a while though and if I had to pick one, that's who I would nab.
Mo Money, Mo Prohm-lems.
I like Negus the most out of all them, he would make a great 2 guard/3 for us
I like Webster Chan and Dorsey Walker just due to there length and the multiple positions they can both play. They both can play the one, two, or 3. However the other would be Ray lee. Gifted Point guards are always good to have.
Nobody but HB knows for sure. You pretty much know nothing....like Knownothing would like to say.
I've said it before - I'll say it again: I can't be disappointed with any of the guys on the list. As long as we can get one of those - we are in great shape. When was the last time we were in on a list of guys like this for our 13th scholarship?? How they transition and develop as big 12 players is TBD, but the upgrade in reputed talent in 1.5 years is fantastic.
It has been awhile since I watched a vid of NWC - forgot how smooth he is. As far as body-type, and fluidity reminds me of the little bits of Clyburn I have seen. Good handle, can get into the lane, and has the height to rise up and get a shot off against post defenders.
I think he has fallen out of the recruting spotlight a bit as he did not have a great summer - but I believe he's been battling a nagging injury.
All that said, I voted for Early.
I had to go back to the thread about Early. You think he is the truth madcity?
Early kind of reminds me of our guy 2 years ago that was one and done. Can't remember his name right now. Kind of a late bloomer.
A freshman class of Niang, Okoro, and Webster Chan or Lee or Dorsey Walker would be pretty good.

I only know what I've read, but for some reason I give a slight nod to him. He sounds like he's got that rare combination of length + guard skills - perfect for a "one in, four out" style of play. He has a pretty decent offer/ visit list of: ISU, San Diego St, Alabama, Wichita St, and Washington and he has/ had other interest of Pitt, Mizzou, Marquette, Arkansas, etc... I get the impression that Early was a "late bloomer" and is really just now beginning to realize his potential as a scorer. ...Sounds a little like the Clyburn story that was written a month ago or so...
The other half of it, is that it could help us balance our classes a bit. A look at potential rosters - after '12-13' season, we will lose/ graduate:
That's a lot of talent & experience!
'13-'14 team could have a big drop off. We will be very young (but still talented, I think).
It sounds like Early will attend SUNY Sullivan again this year, and then have two years of eligibility beginning with the '12-13' season. I'm just thinking that Early could ease the experience transition, not to mention that he will provide even more depth the year before.
Now, I would be very interested to know who the coaching staff wants most. Maybe after Italy trip, CW will have a chance to catch up on bball recruiting - maybe he will get a sense of the staffs wants..

New video of Brian Bernardi just came out. He's improved a lot, much stronger and athletic than people thought and definitely not just a shooter. Showed he can drive, has mid range game and showed some dunks at hoop group all star game.

Wow. bernardi surprised me wasn't too thrilled with the offer, but looks to be a little like Singler lacking the size, but his shot also looks like Austin Rivers....

My vote is NWC as we would get 4 years out of him (although Early would be a good get). Does anyone know who the center is for Huntington Prep? He is HUGE!

Noel would be my pick

Continental Bayside will become first B2 Hotel
Purchased by InSite Group and affiliates of the Carlyle Group in September for $13.5 million, the new b2 is expected to officially launch at the beginning of 2013.
The company refers to the b2 brand as "value-full-service."
The company's first b2 hotel will debut in downtown Miami at the site of the former Continental Bayside Hotel located at 146 Biscayne Boulevard. The 243-room property, which will undergo an extensive renovation and open as b2 miami downtown, is steps from the Port of Miami, the shops and restaurants of Bayside Marketplace, world-class cultural and arts venues, and the American Airlines Arena (home of the NBA's, Miami HEAT). b2 miami downtown is in a prime location to benefit from leisure travel including its proximity to the largest passenger cruise port in the world. Surrounded by 16 million square feet of office space and city, state and federal court houses, it will also attract corporate travel and local business opportunities.

"We've continued to garner genuine interest amongst travelers and industry experts as the portfolio of B Hotels & Resorts® expands and as we enter new markets," said Christopher Tompkins, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Brand Programs. "We are thrilled to announce our third B hotel, which will debut in Orlando in the fall of 2013, and Miami as the destination for the first b2 hotel, a few weeks after unveiling the new value-full-service category. Like our properties in Fort Lauderdale and South Beach, these hotels will cater to a variety of business and leisure travelers, offering warm, approachable service and amenities."
Revolutionizing traditional hotel branding since the opening of its first property in March 2011, B Hotels & Resorts® is an innovative alternative for the conversion of existing flagged and independent hotels. The company is led by Weinstein, Tompkins and a diverse Advisory Council of hospitality industry experts. B Hotels & Resorts® features the B brand with full-service property designations, and the new b2, a value-full-service model.

OK, first the bad: I tried to build this bike around a pair of Bruce Gordon Rock N Road 700 x 43 tires. After getting the tires and bike together in one place I was disappointed to find out that the rear tire has about 2 mm clearance... a No-Go. The tires are EXACTLY 43 mm at their widest point. So I substitute a Bontrager 38mm cyclocross racing tire, this has adequate clearance. Since I wanted a little more dirt capability, this is a big negative. Also, the rear wheel needs "a little help" to sit squarely between the chainstays.
Now the good: As far as I can tell the frame tubing is perfect for my intended use: light (verylight? ultralight??!!) touring on roads of all types in the western U.S. I am a big fan of Pestige tubing, and I think that Soma has a great design here. I have no doubt this frame can handle some modestly rough terrane thrown into the mix with a light load on it. I like low bottom brackets, and this one is plenty low! 10 5/8ths inches with the big bomber tires on it. At 27 pounds this bike is a huge leap in performance from my 32 pound 1985 Miyata rigid mountain bike I used for mixed surface touring/dog adventures. When the road levels out or gets a little smooth this thing just wants to roll! The bike doesn't have the same "snap" of my heavier touring MTB with the 26 inch wheels, but almost, and Attachment 279841Attachment 279842Attachment 279843Attachment 279844I rarely put out those explosive kind of efforts.
More good: I love the front tire on this bike. I am thinking I might get a custom Bruce Gordon just to use a pair of them and have a perfect fit, I don't know just yet... The bike is a great blend of float and performance, I want to ride it tomorrow but we're getting rain. I have Honjo fenders and 32 mm street tires for it, but I will wait until winter to put them on.

'AA' Mavs come up short in state title game
POSTED: 10:16 PM Aug 04 2013 UPDATED: 10:17 PM Aug 04 2013
The Missoula Mavericks 2013 legion baseball season came to an end Sunday afternoon in Billings when the host Billings Royals beat Missoula 5-0 in the state championship game.
Missoula needed to beat Billings twice to claim the title. During Thursday's game the Mavs lost to the Royals 6-3 and faced elimination but they were able to stay alive in the tournament after beating the Billings Scarlets Friday and the Bozeman Bucks on Saturday.
But Sunday Missoula struggled to find its offense. The Mavericks had just four hits against Billings. Royals pitcher Chance Ackerman pitched a completed game shutout while striking out five batters as the Royals claimed their second straight state title.

Box Score | Photo Gallery | Wednesday Baseball Highlights Versus KU
"I am really happy and proud of our team," said UI head coach Rick Heller. "It made me happy to see us go out after the quick turnaround and not be satisfied with beating Kansas last night. We went out today and had one of our best offensive outputs of the season."
Seven of Iowa's starters notched at least one hit in the game and six Hawkeyes posted multi-hit games. It was Iowa's second-straight and 14th 10-plus hit game this season and the 14 runs were the most for the team since scoring 17 in a victory over Otterbein on March 17.
Junior Eric Toole finished 4-for-5 with a career-high five RBIs, while junior Jake Yacinich posted his second four-hit game of the season, finishing 4-for-5 with three runs. Junior Jake Mangler (2-for-5, 3 RBIs, 2 runs), junior Dan Potempa (2-for-4, 1 RBI), sophomore Tyler Peyton (2-for-5, 1 run) and junior Kris Goodman (2-for-3, 2 runs, 1 RBI) all had two-hit games.
"Up and down the lineup, we really swung the bats and put the barrel on the ball," said Heller. "It was a beautiful day out, and our guys played well."
After falling behind 2-0 in the top of the second, the Hawkeyes used a two-out rally to put a five-spot on the board in the bottom half of the inning. Yacinich and Goodman started things off with back-to-back one-out singles before junior Nick Day drew a walk with two outs to load the bases.
The Hawkeyes followed with four-straight two-out hits to give Iowa a 5-2 advantage. Toole drove in the first two runs with a single to right field before Mangler followed with a two-run double into the left centerfield gap.
The hit parade continued when Potempa roped an RBI double over the head of Tucker Tharp in centerfield. Peyton followed with a single to left field before Kansas ended the rally by getting Taylor Zeutenhorst to hit into an inning-ending fielder's choice.
After a one-out solo home by Connor McKay cut the Iowa advantage to 5-3, the Hawkeyes put up three runs in the bottom of the third to stretch its lead to 8-3. Yacinich started the inning with a single to centerfield before Goodman was hit by a pitch to put a pair on base.
A passed ball moved both runners up a base before Toole delivered with his third hit -- a two-out, two-run single to right field to make the score 7-3. Mangler stretched the advantage to five runs with an RBI double into the right center field gap to chase KU starter Drew Morovick from the contest. Each of Iowa's first eight runs came with two outs.
"We started to get some balls to fall last night," said Heller of the two-out hits. "It takes one guy to break it open. I said it last night, Potempa was the guy and then Toole, Mangler and Potempa does it, and up-and-down the lineup. Hopefully we can keep that rolling for the next couple of weeks."
The Jayhawks chipped away at the deficit, pushing single runs across the plate in the fifth and sixth innings. Colby Wright had an RBI single in the fifth before Ka'iana Eldridge doubled to start the sixth and scored on a groundout by Tommy Mirabelli.
Iowa doubled up the Jayhawks, pushing a pair of insurance runs across the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning and added two more runs in the eighth. Yacinich led off the seventh with a single up the middle -- his fourth hit of the contest -- and scored on a pinch-hit RBI double by Jimmy Frankos. Toole followed with an RBI single up the middle for his fourth hit and career-best fifth RBI, stretching the Iowa lead to 10-5
Potempa singled to lead off the eighth before Peyton executed a hit-and-run with pinch runner Jake Riffice at first base to put runners on the corners. Zeutenhorst followed with an RBI single to right field and with two outs, and Goodman singled to center field, stretching the lead to 12-5.
Kansas didn't go away quietly, as it put up a pair of runs in the top of the ninth. Following a leadoff single by Tharp, Wright connected on a two-run homer to left field, cutting the deficit to 12-7. UI reliever Jared Mandel buckled down, getting a ground out and fly out before striking out Justin Portacio swinging to end the contest.
UI freshman Jake Reinhardt (1-1) picked up his first career victory, allowing one run on three hits over a pair of innings. Junior Andrew Hedrick pitched 4 2/3 innings in the start, allowing four runs on nine hits, while Mandel pitched the final 2 1/3, allowing two runs on two hits.
Morovick (6-2), who entered the game with a Big 12-leading six victories, suffered the loss, allowing eight runs on 10 hits in 2 2/3 innings. Kansas finished with 14 hits against three Iowa pitchers.
The Hawkeyes (18-12) return to action Friday, facing Northwestern in the first of a three-game series beginning at 3 p.m. (CT) at Rocky Miller Park in Evanston, Ill.
"Our guys went out and played hard, gave a great effort and got two wins midweek, which is exactly what we needed," said Heller. "It was a big boost for us heading into the series against Northwestern this weekend."
|Iowa 12, Kansas 7
|Kansas (21-13)
|Iowa (18-12)
|Game Decision
|W: Reinhardt (IOWA) 1-1

For the past half week or so I've been crashing with a good friend in London, and among his housemates are a couple members of the band Clean Bandit, which I believe I've posted about sometime in the past (its been my go-to place to stay in London for a few years now). They have a newish video for their track "Telephone Banking," and I'm genuinely not posting it as a favour... It's a innovative video for an innovative song, and if you're in the UK and happen to get a chance to see them live (I did a summer ago and was not alone in my enthusiasm), please do so. Their website is here. Their video - which was impressively made by the band itself for next to nothing - is below:
The video was nominated for a UK Music Video Award (which go down November 8th), as was their first video "Mozart's House," which is posted below as well:

The cuisine of the municipality of Portalegre follows the culinary traditions of Alto Alentejo: Tomato Soup, Potato Soup, Bean and Cabbage Soup, Dogfish with garlic, Sarapatel (offal stew), Offal Soup, Mashed Bread and Potato with fried pork, and lamb stew are some of the region's typical dishes. In addition, of course, to the deliciously rich "convent" sweets.
Traditional Portalegre recipes:
Migas (mashed bread) with Pork
(serves 6)
1 kg pork: loin, ribs and bacon
1 kg pork: loin, ribs and bacon
3 cloves garlic
3 spoonfuls red pepper paste
3 spoonfuls lard
1 loaf stale bread
Season the pork the day before, rubbing it with the red pepper paste. Fry the garlic and then the meat in the lard until crispy. Set aside the meat, and in the same pot, retaining the fat, place the sliced bread and cover with boiling water. Leave to soften for a few minutes. Return to the heat, stirring well with a wooden spoon to form a paste. When they come away from the walls of the pot, the Migas are ready. Add a little fat and fry until crisp. Serve immediately with the fried pork.
Lamb stew
(serves 10)
1 lamb weighing 7 or 8 kg, with the legs and ribs removed for other dishes
3 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
1 dl olive oil
2 spoonfuls lard
1 glass white wine
salt and whole pepper
stale bread
Cut the lamb into pieces. Fry the finely chopped garlic with the bay leaf in the fats.
Add the meat, season with salt and pepper and fry until golden. Add the white wine, cover and leave to simmer over a low heat. When the liquid boils off, add drops of hot water, stirring to prevent sticking. Before serving add enough boiling water to soak the bread. Serve in a deep dish over a layer of very thin slices of stale bread.
Dogfish soup
(serves 6)
2 kg dogfish (12 slices)
6 cloves garlic
1 bay leaf
2 dl olive oil
2 tablespoons floor and 1 of paprika
2 tablespoons vinegar
1 bunch coriander
salt and pepper
Boiling water
Finely chop the garlic and fry quickly in the olive oil along with the bay leaf and a small sprig of the coriander. Add the fish, cleaned and seasoned with coarse salt, and brown on both sides over a high heat. In a bowl, mix the paprika with the vinegar, flour, pepper and a small glass of water. Pour this mixture over the fish and simmer over a low heat, shaking the pan gently, to cook the flour. Add boiling water (around 1 litre) and the chopped coriander. Boil for three minutes and serve immediately over thin slices of stale bread.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hi, Maureen, My name is XXXXX XXXXX it will be my pleasure to assist you with your question today,
In Answer to your question of what the ramifications would be if you defaulted on your son's student loans on which you co-signed,
A co-signor is just as liable as the person who received the loan proceeds and if you default in payment, it will not only have a negative impact on your credit score, but they will get a judgment against you and attempt to satisfy their judgment obtaining a Writ of Execution and ask the Sheriff to seize property which you own and sell it at Sheriff's sale in order to satisfy their judgment,
I realize that this is not exactly the Answer you were hoping for and it would have given me great pleasure to give you the Answer you wanted to hear, but I have an ethical obligation to you to give you only correct Answers and information, so I am respectfully XXXXX XXXXX you not hold the law applicable to your situation against me,
Please be kind enough to rate Excellent Service" so that I receive credit for assisting you,
Bonus and Positive Feedback on survey is very much appreciated,
What if my husbands name is XXXXX XXXXX property as a co-owner (not father of child) Can my social security benefits/wages be garnished for a private loan?
If your husband is not a co-signor on the loans, then any property that you and he own as "Tenants by the Entireties" cannot be seized. Your Social Security benefits cannot be seized either to satisfy a judgment. However, your wages can be garnished.
Thank you for your quick reply Andrea, the total loan is $65,000.00 if I can't afford the monthly payment, what percentage could my wages be garnished?
Virginia follows the Federal standard and permits a judgment creditor to garnish 25% of the debtor's disposable income. "Disposable" means after deduction of taxes. So, for example, if your "take home" pay is $400, then the judgment creditor can have $100 garnished from your wages,

text: Browse A-ZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0-9 Print-FriendlyBookmarksExercising and asthma at school Sometimes exercise triggers asthma symptoms. This is called exercise-induced asthma (EIA).The symptoms of EIA are coughing, wheezing, a feeling of tightness in your chest, or shortness of breath. Most times, these symptoms start soon after you stop exercising. Some people may have symptoms after they start exercising.Having asthma symptoms when exercising does not mean a student cannot or should not exercise. Taking part in recess, physical education (PE), and after-school sports is important for all children. And children with asthma should not have to sit on the side lines.School staff and coaches should know your child's asthma triggers, such as:Cold or dry air. Breathing through the nose or wearing a scarf or mask over the mouth may help. Polluted air. Freshly mowed fields or lawns. A student with asthma should warm up before exercising and cool down afterward.Helping a child with asthma stay active in schoolRead the student's asthma action plan. Make sure staff members know where it is kept. Discuss the action plan with the parent or guardian. Find out what type of activities the student can do and for how long.Teachers, coaches, and other school staff should know the symptoms of asthma and what to do if a student has an asthma attack. Help the student take the medicines listed in his or her asthma action plan.Encourage the student to participate in PE. To help prevent an asthma attack, modify PE activities. For example, a running program might be set up this way:Walk the whole distance Run part of the distance Alternate running and walking Some exercises may be less likely to trigger asthma symptoms.Swimming is often a good choice. The warm, moist air may keep symptoms away. Football, baseball, and other sports that have periods of inactivity are less likely to trigger asthma symptoms. Activities that are more intense and sustained, such as long periods of running, basketball, and soccer, are more likely to trigger asthma symptoms.Taking asthma medicines before exercise If an asthma action plan instructs the student to take medicines before exercising, remind the student to do so. These may include short-acting and long-acting medicines.Short-acting, or quick-relief, medicines:Are taken 10 to 15 minutes before exercise Can help for up to 4 hours Long-acting inhaled medicines:Are used at least 30 minutes before exercise Last up to 12 hours Children can take long-acting medicines before school and they will help for the whole day.Open ReferencesReferencesDurrani SR, Busse WW.

year-after-year which school would that be?
Probably Valley or Dowling
is heelan what it used to be? i left there years ago. they used to turn out of ton of quality d1 talent and beat dowling like a redheaded stepchild.
Is Sioux City one high school or four in this discussion? In the Des Moines media it's usually referred to as one high school and would easily be the best choice for basketball, probably still not football though.

As long as we are arguing over the Catholic schools, might as well pick Xavier in Cedar Rapids since they have the best recruit out of any of them in '14 (Matt Nelson)
My vote would be Dowling (and I'm a Valley grad).
The answer should have been Aplington-Parkersburg if Ed Thomas was still coaching. He had his kids ready to play at any level.
A few years ago I would have said A-P. Now, I'd go with Dowling or Bettendorf.
1.Iowa City City High 2. Iowa City West 3. Valley 4.Dowling 5. Ankeny 6.Ames, 7. Bettendorf 8. SE Polk 9 Applington Parkersburg 10. S.C. Heelan or cedar falls.

Why waste it? Lots of years, there' not gonna be a kid at that high school worth 'shipping.
So, let's pick one in Texas or Florida.

Very pleasant holiday at bluewood lodges. Lovely location with beautiful countryside views. A bit of a drive to get to shops but knew that when we booked. Lovely and quiet in the park. Lodge had everything we needed. Decor in the lodge was a bit tired but it was very clean.We felt very comfortable. If in the same area again we would come back to this park.

the property is in need of renovation. the Hot tub could not be used as the cover is full of mould and broken handles , the decking and outside table not fit for purpose , the kitchen floor need replacing and the overall condition is poor

We enjoyed our short stay at the lodge for our anniversary and will keep it as a place to revist maybe at a different time of year.
Confirmed guest, 2016-02-26
The lodges are in a nice quiet area just outside Kingham and Churchill. Unfortuantely our Kingham Lodge plus was not quite up to spec. The advertised additional TV in the master bedroom, iPod dock and hairdryer were all missing. The carpets were quite heavily stained, the bathroom sinks were missing the pop up plugs, the ironing board was threadbare and couldn't really be used and the laminate flooring in the kitchen area was too short leaving a sharp edge which created a trip hazard and cut hazard. Generally would say the lodge was tired and needed some TLC.

The lodge is totally dog friendly which to us is a big bonus. The lodge is spacious and well layed out. Clean and welcoming. We did think however the lodge needed a make over certain fixtures such as roller blind, fire and some light bulbs didn't work. Little things that didn't spoil our stay but could be put right so easily and should be checked regularly. Still love the lodge thou.

Nice location. Friendly reception staff. Cafe restaurant was popular. We were able to bring our french bull dog puppy which we valued. Clean pleasant lodge with hot tub....great. However lounge furniture dated and not comfortable as were curtains. Blinds would improve look. Kitchen facilities good. I pod docking nice touch.

The lodge was a home from home with everything that you needed. The only very slight negative was that it was a little tired round the edges - nothing major and something that will probably be done at the end of the season - but it could have done with a repaint and some of the wallpaper was starting to peel away.

We have stayed at blue wood several times ,we just think number 3 needs an update inside ,,plus the tree outside the gate could do with a trim back,

The lodge is a home away from home with even a utility room !! The lodges are spacious and spotlessly clean and are in a great location with beautiful views. Would thoroughly recommend. The hot tubs are great - the staff check them everyday to ensure they are the right temperature etc. We were very impressed with the whole site.

Anna Kendrick's Makeup
Anna Kendrick 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards, Santa Monica, California ~ March 1, 2014. Makeup by Sara Glick using Dior makeup.
INSPIRATION: "We chose this look, not only to compliment the light airiness of this sophisticated Dior dress but we also wanted to do something a bit lighter leading up to the Oscars. I have some tricks up my sleeve that I'm saving for tomorrow, so we kept it clean and simple with a hint of color on the lips using the light pink peach shade of Dior's new Fluid Stick."-Sara Glick

How To Get Kim Kardashian's Slicked Back Hair
Kim Kardashian's Slicked Back Hair looks very much like the Dior hair look during Paris Fashion Week Fall Winter 2014. Here's how you can get it!
DIOR FALL WINTER 2014 Paris Fashion Week…Hair by Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
Redken Creative Consultant Guido created an urban look for Dior that real women could easily incorporate into their street styles. Once the hair was blown out with a cocktail of satinwear 02 prepping blowdry lotion and align 12 protective straightening lotion, Guido used forceful 23 super strength finishing spray to get the hair to lay flat as the models walked the runway. It's a little bit sporty and a whole lot of sophistication for the Dior look this season.
"The look for Dior is a very minimal idea of sophisticated hair. I wanted to create a wearable hairstyle that would be translatable for everyday women, while still incorporating sculptural elements to the design. The hair was pulled back and flattened to really expose the model's head shape, which was elegant, but also felt kind of sporty in a way."-Guido, Redken Creative Consultant
Redken Products Used – Collection:
-satinwear 02 prepping blowdry lotion
-align 12 protective straightening lotion
-forceful 23 super strength finishing spray
How To Create the Look
Apply a mixture of satinwear 02 prepping blowdry lotion and align 12 protective straightening lotion to damp hair
Blow dry hair straight back with a natural bristle brush (no parting)
HOT TIP: Apply large black headband so hair stays back and flat
When you are ready to go, take off headband and spray with forceful 23 super strength finishing spray to hold shape

I spent this past summer thinking about school -- and loving it. This Friday night, CBS will premiere Teach -- a new documentary by Davis Guggenheim hosted by Queen Latifah. I was deeply honored to co-write Teach with Davis. Because I worked on Teach, I won't tell you here that it's fantastic -- though it is. Teach follows four public school teachers -- Matt Johnson, Shelby Harris, Joel Laguna and Lindsay Chinn -- through the past school year. Because I cannot be journalistic objective here, I also won't tell you that the result is two hours of prime time television that are dramatic,

Mortgage Rates Drop for the Second Week in a Row!
The housing market is ripe for the picking, as we see all mortgage rates drop this week. This is the second week in a row for falling rates; read the PMMS report to learn more!
The housing market is ripe for the picking, as we see all mortgage rates drop this week. This is the second week in a row for falling rates; read the PMMS report to learn more!
An ARM can make great financial sense for certain homeowners, and serve as an effective tool in helping you achieve your personal finance goals. But it's important to understand the how and the why.
According to the Primary Mortgage Market Survey report released this week, rates are starting to rise. By no means have you missed your opportunity to take advantage of low rates – they're still pretty darn near to record lows – but the trend might be on the upswing, and I would be woefully remiss if I didn't try to encourage you to get in while the gettin is good.
Happy 2013! The new year is all about ritual and resolutions. Everyone plans to eat better, work out more, and get more organized or spend more time with friends and family. We're all guilty of at least one of these, aren't we? I wonder, did you, my mortgage-rate seeking friends, resolve anything fun this year? This year, I resolved to avoid a cliche resolution and promised to laugh more and worry less, and bring you the PMMS report every Thursday!
Welcome to the last Primary Mortgage Market Survey of the year. And fortunately for all you rate watchers, it ends on a good note! 30-year fixed rates drop this week, landing near record lows!
Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said "the only constant is change." As much as we would like things to remain the same – our babies to stay little, our waistlines to stay small, our mortgage rates to remain low – they never do, or will. This week's Primary Mortgage Market Survey is out and rates are both higher and lower than last week. It just goes to show how quickly these crazy low rates can change. If you're not refinancing into a lower rate, you may miss out on your opportunity. There is never going to be a better time, because tomorrow never comes.
There are only a handful of things that can be measured in "record lows" – temperature, birth rates, sea ice…um…oh, mortgage rates! Of course! And this week, my friends, mortgage rates dropped! It wasn't a dramatic drop by any means, but a drop is a drop and that means more money in your pocket. What are you waiting for?
Mortgage rates took a slight increase this week according to the Primary Mortgage Market Survey from Freddie Mac. Refinance to a lower rate and save today.
Do you remember when Al Roker took over for Willard Scott as the Today Show's weatherman? The whole world was in a tizzy, because everyone loved Willard Scott! Well, that's a little bit how I feel right now, coming in on my man Mally's turf. He's a pro at this Primary Mortgage Market Survey stuff. I have some very big shoes to fill, I know. I hope I can win you rate lovers over. I'll do my best.
I was thinking about rattling off a bunch of things that I'm thankful for, and while I do have plenty in my life to be thankful about, I feel that's getting overdone. Maybe overdone like how my mom's turkey will probably turn out tomorrow? Regardless of how my Thanksgiving meal is going to be tomorrow, and I'm sure it will be delicious, one thing is for certain: the nationwide average for mortgage rates has never been lower in the history of the modern mortgage according to Freddie Mac's weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey.

The Climate Group celebrates 10th anniversary with special Gala
- Date
- 31 March 2014
LONDON: A host of high profile supporters, dignitaries, government leaders and celebrities gathered in Monaco for The Climate Group's 10th anniversary fundraising gala dinner last week.
Hosted under the high patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco and co-organized in partnership with his Foundation, the special event was held at the Salle Empire at the Hôtel de Paris in the heart of Monte Carlo.
HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, said: "For all those who, like me, have made the fight against climate change a priority, for all those who want to take concrete action and generate maximum awareness concerning this essential cause, The Climate Group has now become a reference. I am delighted that my Foundation is a partner and I am delighted that you have chosen Monaco to celebrate ten years of growth, success and hope here this evening."
Mark Kenber, CEO of The Climate Group, said: "Time is running out to act on climate change. I am delighted to be working in partnership with HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco to help raise awareness of this very time critical issue."
As part of the evening's program, renowned Sotheby's auctioneer Lord Harry Dalmeny, auctioned a host of unique experiences and luxury items including a once in a lifetime opportunity to accompany HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco on a two-day journey which included time spent on board the famous TARA sailboat in the Northern Cyclades. The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation has been supporting TARA's scientific expeditions for many years.
In addition, the catalogue of luxury auction lots and raffles prizes also included a seven night stay on Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island, prestigious Picasso linocuts, a VIP meet and greet with Sir Paul McCartney, a private piano lesson with Jamie Cullum, a chance to meet world renowned tennis player Henri Leconte at the Royal Albert Hall in London, a limited edition vintage IWC Schaffhausen watch, VIP tickets to the first ever Formula E GP in Monaco, a one-year Quintessentially Elite Lifestyle Membership, a brand-new painting by Maggi Hambling CBE, a handmade Tabriz Persian carpet, an exclusive eco-luxury holiday at Soneva Fushi, VIP tickets to a Warner Bros. premiere and a Maison Margiela Fusion Swarovski crystal brooch. The funds raised during this auction will be shared between The Climate Group and the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation to support their respective actions in the domain of climate change.
Guests were also entertained by a live performance from three time BRIT-nominated singer Paloma Faith.
The Climate Group's fundraising gala evening coincided with a number of clean technology events that placed Monaco at the centre of low carbon innovation, including the Euro-Mediterranean Energy Efficiency Forum 24-25 March, the Ninth International Conference on Ecological Vehicles and Renewable Energies 25-27 March and CleanEquity Monaco 27-28 March.
This year The Climate Group is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a series of activities that highlight our past achievements, as well as drive forward our work to secure a thriving low carbon future for all.
The fast-growing clean energy and technology market has the potential to not only future-proof, but kick-start our stagnant economy. Today's leaders and innovators must unlock a Clean Revolution that builds resilience, creates value and grows prosperity. And The Climate Group provides that opportunity.
Over the last decade, The Climate Group has led large-scale change through our events, partnerships, campaigns and transformative projects. You can see our top 10 achievements here.
Throughout 2014 we will be launching activities around the world to celebrate our 10 years of climate leadership and innovation, and call for urgent action to keep the momentum going to 2015.
And you can be part of our leadership and innovation legacy. If you are a business, sub-national government or organization that wants to help build a low carbon economy of opportunity and prosperity, join us.

For someone without a post game as many fans like to claim, Dwight Howard sure did find a way to bounce back from a 13-point, seven-turnover performance in Game One to score 30 points and get the Celtics into foul trouble in Game Two.
I put together this video to hopefully give you a better idea of how Dwight adapted to the way the Celtics were defending him. Enjoy:
Dwight Howard definitely has a post game and it's still growing. Ever since some time in January, Dwight has been showing real improvement in the way he scores with his back to the basket and when he faces up and drives on his defenders. Like I said in the video, he doesn't have a huge repertoire of moves. He's definitely not going to be doing any Kevin McHale impersonations any time soon. But he has a couple of go-to moves in the paint.
The problem with Dwight is his positioning and the way his body is constructed. Think about powerful centers like Moses Malone, Shaquille O'Neal and even guys like Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon to some extent. All of those guys were blessed with tree trunks for legs. Some of them were blessed with big behinds too. These natural physical assets are the reason they were able to dominate and score so easily in the post when they needed to. They had leverage (not a TNT plug but it feels like it because of the constant promos we've seen during the playoffs).
Dwight doesn't have that luxury. He has skinny legs and a small waist. He's built much more like David Robinson except he doesn't have the shooting ability. Guys like that have a hard to moving people around in the post with their lower body. Instead, Dwight has to either accept the postposition afforded to him by the defensive player or try to push his way with his upper body into better position without drawing a foul.
It's great that his upper body is so physically impressive because it allows him to be very good defensively and a strong rebounder. But the fact that he doesn't have more junk in the trunk means that he's going to be a center of gravity disadvantage when trying to score with his back to the basket. Considering he has to make due with the way he's built, I'd say he does a pretty good job scoring inside.
Give him room to operate by spreading the floor and a confident, relaxed and poised Dwight will unleash his small set of post moves and do it effectively. Hopefully for Orlando, it will turn into some wins in this series.

With rising fuel costs, security tariffs and the like, things are tough for the airlines. But, some airlines have forgotten that people fly places to do things. So, when checking in for flights, clerks appear astonished that passengers actually want to take some baggage. That means we want to bring our golf clubs, tennis rackets, skis . . . and yes, dive gear.
Fortunately, here are a few tips that make air travel a bit easier, even for people like us divers who have the audacity to bring baggage so we can do things. Check these out:
