On January 24 in Monticello, the Bucks had a rematch with the San Juan Broncos, hoping to pull a win out of the hat after that overtime loss in December.
And for the third year in a row, the teams split the annual rivalry series after the Bucks took a thrilling 49-48 win that wasn't decided until the final buzzer.
The Buckaroos started strong, forcing the Broncos into 16 first half turnovers, including 12 steals off of a dandy full court zone press and forging a daunting 25-11 halftime lead.
Jake Duncan, Austin Maloy, and Gunnar Hollingsworth were particularly effective in the first half, each scoring seven points. Duncan added three steals and four rebounds in that half, Hollingsworth had two steals, one block and three rebounds, while Maloy had three steals and two rebounds himself.
But the Broncos weren't toast yet. Finally figuring out the Buckaroo press, the Broncos scored the first seven points of the second half and began to slowly chip away at the Buckaroo lead.
Barkley Christensen began to find the range, and when he drew the Buckaroo defense to him, found Landon Palmer wide open underneath. Palmer scored 16 of his team high 18 points in the second half. And the Broncos had closed the lead to 37-28 after three quarters.
The Broncos outscored the Buckaroos 10-1 to start the fourth quater and with five minutes remaining, Christensen knotted the score with his second trey of the night, 38-38.
The Bucks went back inside to Duncan to forge ahead once more and force the Broncos to continue to play catchup. The teams traded baskets or free throws for the rest of the time.
A key play came with 38 seconds left, when the Bucks, nursing a 45-44 lead, came out of a timeout with everyone thinking they were going to milk the clock. But Terek Esplin raced the ball up court to a perfectly positioned Jake Duncan, who scored and was fouled by Ammon Mitchell, his fifth.
Duncan added the freebie and the Bucks were up three.
After trading baskets, the Broncos had the ball with 13 seconds left, down three. Christensen missed his trey attempt to tie and in the scrum underneath, Palmer found his mitts on the ball, tossed it in the basket and was fouled with five seconds remaining, down one.
The Bucks called timeout to give Palmer time to think about the game-tying free throw, which he missed, and the Bucks were victors, 49-48.
Duncan led the Buckaroo scorers with 17 points and eight rebounds. Maloy finished with 11 points, including six big free throws in the second half to help stave off the Bronco rally. Hollingsworth pitched in with nine.
For the Broncos, who were playing without second leading scorer, Logan Meyer, Christensen added 13 points and Mitchell ten.
The Bucks used the momentum from two tough wins over Grand and San Juan to pummel a rapidly improving Pinnacle team Friday night, 66-44.
At 9-6 on the year, the Pinnaclers own wins over such 1A teams as Escalanted and Dugway and only lost to Green River by six and boast some talented players. But the Bucks were simply too much for the boys from Price and their one-two punch on the inside of Hollingsworth and Duncan.
Duncan led the way with 13 points and Hollingsworth added 10. Senior point guard Terek Esplin had a fine game as well, tossing in 11. Maloy contributed eight and Jared Smith came off the bench to score nine second quarter points.
San Juan, however, lost their fifth straight Saturday night when traveled to Richfield and fell to the Wildcats, 56-42. A 18-4 defecit in the second quarter spelled doom for the Broncos. Christensen led the Broncos in scoring with 15 points. Meyer returned to the court to score 12. The Broncos fall to 6-10 on the year and only 1-4 in Region 15 play, tied for fourth place.
The Lady Broncos fell to Richfield as well, 58-41 in Blanding Saturday night in their only game of the week. Lindsey Christensen was a bright spot on offense, pouring in a career high 20 points, including four treys. But the Lady Broncos couldn't slow down the Wildcats who rushed to a 49-20 lead after three quarters and cleared the bench from there. The loss drops Justin Moon's team to 10-6 overall and 2-3 in region play.
The Lady Buckaroos finally got Swayzi Slade back just in time as they lost a rematch to Monument Valley 52-37 without her, but beat Pinnacle with her. The MV loss puts the Lady Bucks in precarious position in region play at 3-3 and fourth place. Martha Beh was the leading scorer against MV with 15 points.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Another Ashcraft has joined the Lipscomb baseball program for the 2013 season as Trent Ashcraft has been tabbed by head coach Jeff Forehand as the volunteer assistant joining his younger brother Tyson, a sophomore infielder, as part of the team.
"Trent is a great addition to our team," said Forehand. "He was a very good college player and comes to us with a lot of experience and is going to be able to lead our outfield and be in charge of some of our hitting. We're looking forward to having him as part of our staff."
Ashcraft joins the baseball program after serving as hitting and outfield coach at NCAA Division II Young Harris College where the Mountain Lions ranked in the top-20 nationally in 15 offensive categories.
"I'm really excited to be here at Lipscomb and to be a part of everything that's going on with the University," said the Nashville native. "I'm glad to be back home and get the chance to work with Coach Forehand. It's also great to work in an environment teaching life's lessons and always keeping our relationship with God at the forefront of what we're trying to do."
Prior to beginning his coaching career in the state of Georgia, Ashcraft played for East Carolina. During his tenure as a Pirate, ECU made three NCAA tournament appearances including an NCAA Super Regional appearance and Conference USA regular-season championship in 2009, Ashcraft's senior year.

I don't understand, why Nagi have to choose one of them as his lover. All 3 girs already are his wives. Human laws do not apply to gods, so why Nagi couldn't have 3 wives?

As for allowing a maiden to step down creates new complications for as I wrote the dragon god is like the Dalai Lama and is reincarnated the same time the prior dragon dies so the seat of dragon god is in theory always occupied.
If a maiden is allowed to step down then do they offer another maiden to take her place since each maiden represents a vital ritual meaning?
The reproduction theory also holds problem, if the dragon god can possess three girls then he is "hogging" 1/3 of the precious resource so to speak.

Personally cause these are the first maidens that actually have a dragon god on hand in a long while, I am going to assume that they are lifers.
I had assumed the maiden thing was something passed down from mother to daughter, cause of the whole grandmothers being former maidens. But there is a missing generation and that has been the recurring question lately.

- a boy born from former Maiden;
- a boy born the same day of the year the former Dragon god died. Not the same day! DG before Nagi died long time ago.
I assume it's maidens duty to find a husband and to born as many children as possible, in hope of giving birth to a boy. If I remeber correctly maidens give birth only to girls - with exception of dragon god. BTW - that is, till now, only supernatural thing in that manga.

I'm confused on the timeline of assumption of the 3 current Maidens and Nagi's mom. Did this occur soon after the former Dragon God died @17 years ago? Did he die young? If not, did one of the Maidens die of old age/disease and was replaced by Nagi's mom? If so, she would have started at a VERY young age (pedobear, back off!) And what were the circumstances for her leaving the island?
So many

Chapter 9: "the three maidens":
- Goto Nagi mother (Okitsu Miyako) was Cape Maiden;
- Maidens tends to give birth to girls, boys are a rarity;
- Shisuku, Soyogi and Karin are daughters of previous Maidens (I'm not sure if translation and my understanding of that part is correct - Tri-ring, could you confirm please?, it's on page 7);
- the DG is born the same day the previous DG dies - I'm not sure if it means, DG reincarnates in the exact moment of his death (like Dalai Lama), or it's in the same day of the year, but may happen many year later. It's on pages 8 and 9, page 8 alone suggest first option, but page 9 confirms second. Tri-ring could you confirm translation of that 3 pages for us? Pretty please

singing heartbreak
Somehow, when it comes to the 4th wheel(which is the girl that 1)is outside of the main girls OR 2)is late with liking the main protagonist, that usually only gets a single chance with the male lead), I never expected another Soyagi-based chapter. Well, with this, she's finally caught up to the level of intimacy that Karen and Shizuku, and Kisaragi has. I wonder, did she initiate the kiss, or was it simultaneous? Because all of a sudden, Nagi looks shocked, like he wasn't expecting that. Unless it was the french kiss like recursion pointed out, I can only guess that it wasn't his intention to kiss her, which would make no sense, so I'll go with the french kiss theory =_=.

I looked through the chapter and saw what you might have misunderstood. The part where she was talking about the cape maidens giving birth to girls in large numbers and then suddenly saying that was what karin, Shizuku, and Soyogi are. That was just saying what those 3 as Cape Maidens go through not that they are a product of cape maiden birth.

On page 200 Yae continues that rarely a male offspring from priestess of the Misaki is born which through oral legend is said to be the reincarnated soul of the dragon god.
Nagi ask out of confusion that just because a boy is born does not automatically means he is the reincarnated soul of the dragon god do it?
Yae continues that she is told that the dragon god's reincarnation occurs the same day the past dragon god passes away.
The prior dragon god past away on September 23rd and asks Nagi his birthday.
Although she did not ask Nagi the year I think she already knows since he is the same age as Karin.

I think it is pretty clear that all 3 current maidens are the offspring of previous maidens. I agree, though, that this raises a bit of a mystery: If there are 3, and only 3, maiden bloodlines, it would imply that Nagi is related to one of the 3.
The most obvious process for succession between maidens is that the eldest daughter of one Maiden fills her place once she is old enough. If this were the only way for a girl to become a Maiden, and there are only ever 3 Maidens, then the fact that Nagi's Mom was a Maiden would guarantee that he is the brother of one of the current Maidens.
There are other possibilities, though. It is certain that the cult would have a mechanism for replacing a Maiden line if it was terminated for some reason. Otherwise, if a maiden died before giving birth, there would be no way to replace the missing Maiden. If Nagi's Mom left the island before giving birth and never came back, then the elders probably selected another woman to fill her place. That woman then gave birth to one of the three current Maidens.
Another possibility is that there are usually 4 maidens, but Nagi's Mom taking off reduced it to 3 in this generation. Perhaps the elders would select 2 daughters from the next generation to be Maidens, or they would elect one.
It's an interesting mystery, though, and one that again highlights how little we know about their parents!

Here's something i noticed while looking back. I wonder if it's just coincidence or if there is some reason that Nagi's mother's last name is that of the island. No one else has the name Okitsu.

Yae's words in Japanese;
The latter part of the second sentence means "like XXX are"
The first sentences states that offsprings from priestess of the Misaki are overwhelming female.
Shizuku, Soyogi and Karin are named as example within the second sentence of Yae's first statment making their mothers priestess of the Misaki.

There is another option. There are probably 3 maternal family lines of Maidens, and Maidens are born from one of those families, not necessary from a Maiden. In other words Rinne (Karin sister) daughter could be also a Maiden. Co Nagi is a cousin of one, or more of current Maidens.
Interesting, Maidens names relates to elements they represent.

She probably met the prior dragon god 18 years ago before Nagi was born.

Of course, this information is right beside Karin's half-naked ass, and right before a fully naked waist-up shot. One might be forgiven for being distracted.

Henninger: American Fatigue Syndrome
If the U.S. doesn't lead, the strongmen win. For them it's easier.
By the time the second World Trade Center tower collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, the whole world was watching it. We may assume that Vladimir Putin was watching. Mr. Putin, a quick calculator of political realities, would see that someone was going to get hit for this, and hit hard.
He was right of course. The Bush presidency became a war presidency that day, and it pounded and pursued the Islamic fundamentalists of al Qaeda without let-up or apology....

Though true location aware devices such as GPS enabled phones are becoming more common (e.g., the latest iPhone includes GPS and compass) developing services that "augment" reality is unrealistic for most libraries due to time; money and technical constraints.
There is an easier option though – using small printed codes, such as QR codes, around the library that link to resources and information appropriate to their location. QR (Quick Response) codes are a matrix codes, like a two dimensional bar code. They can be read by mobile phones with integrated cameras, with a small application installed. Some mobiles come with the application ready installed, though it can also be download for free from the internet and installed on PDAs, smartphones and other mobile devices. At the University of Huddersfield we have used QR codes to deliver context appropriate help and information to blur the boundaries between the physical and electronic world. We've developed mobile friendly materials to deliver information skills materials directly to our users at the point of need, linked by QR codes on printed materials and on appropriate locations in the physical library. This article outlines the practical uses we've found for QR codes and gives preliminary results of how they've been received by our library users.

He does chin-ups on a crosswalk signal next to a busy city street. He hoists himself into a handstand on metal bars in a park. Through the narrow aisle of a barber shop, he backflips over and over to the delight of a young customer.
OK, so being a gymnast growing up in the South Bronx wasn't that hardscrabble, John Orozco admits, but it was fun to pretend for the camera. The 19-year-old was showcasing his Olympic talents in a music video for "The Fighter," by the band Gym Class Heroes.
If his workout routine really involved asphalt and streetlights, his coach would freak out.
" 'Keep it in the gym!' he'd say," Orozco laughed.
Yet the video shows exactly what makes Orozco the unlikely darling of the London Olympics, which start July 27. The Puerto Rican teen from The Bronx has risen to the top of the gymnastics world, clinching a spot on the US men's gymnastics team, and is a favorite for a gold medal.
"I'm proud to be from The Bronx," Orozco told The Post from the Colorado Olympic Training Center. "I'm proud to not let it limit me in what I could do."
The urban Hercules grew up in Harding Park, a blue-collar oasis, surrounded by the rougher streets of Soundview.
Olympic rings made from wreaths by his parents decorate his bungalow home, which is a short distance from the projects where Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor lived.
"It was tough financially and socially" being a gymnast in the city, Orozco said.
But his very tight-knit family made it work no matter what. He shared a bedroom with his brothers, Erik, Manny and Jason, without fighting.
"We couldn't expect any more from them," his father, William, a retired city sanitation worker, said of his four sons.
His mother, Damaris, shuttled him back and forth to a Chappaqua gym to train every day after school.
She even catered to earn extra bucks to pay for his training.
"We would cook and sell food at different locations to keep John in the sport," she said. On the table she would set out the fare next to a little television that played videos of John in action.
In 2000, William Orozco picked up a flyer advertising free gymnastics classes for inner-city kids at the Sutton Gym in Manhattan. The class served older kids and John was just seven.
"This is not a baby-sitting service!" the instructor warned.
But the gym instructor eventually acquiesced. "Bring him in. Let me see," he said.
It quickly became apparent that John possessed a natural talent. He easily picked things up from watching other kids and he loved the sport so much that his parents began scouting for other gyms.
They found World Cup Gym in Chappaqua, about 30 miles north of their home. It's one to three hours away, depending on traffic.
Once the road was so backed up Damaris suggested going home.
He refused.
"Mom, even if it's a half-hour, it's practice!"
John won his first gold medal at that gym at age eight.
He rose to the stage to accept his prize, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a little boy crying because the others were taunting him and telling him he stank.
Stepping down from the podium, he removed the medallion from his neck and placed it on the tearful boy.
"Here you go," he said. "One day you will be better than I am."
As kind and modest as he was, he soon outshone everyone around him.
"We used to say he had that thing," his mom said. "We didn't know what to call that thing, but he had it. You could see the difference from the other kids."
An honors student, he burned the midnight oil or completed homework and reports in the family car as they drove to different states for competitions.
"It's all worth it," he said.
A TINY scar above his eyebrow adds fierceness to his face. His mother remembers shopping with her husband in BJ's one afternoon when the call came from his coach upstate saying that he had fallen off the high bar.
They rushed to Chappaqua to take the 10-year-old to the emergency room, where he was stitched up.
"The next day he was right back on the high bar and I was like, 'Get down from the high bar now!' " his mom laughed.
But it's the high bar that thrills him.
"It's like you're flying," Orozco said of his favorite event. "It feels like you're in the air forever."
Inside his Bronx home, his parents are standing inside a shrine to their son's achievements.
One day last year, their three other sons suggested remodeling a room as a surprise for John, who had been away for three weeks at the 2011 Japan Cup. Now the walls are lined with gold medals, plaques and trophies and tokens from places he has been.
"There were too many medals," his mom said, as she walked around the room.
His parents have been there for him every step of the way and have documented his success carefully.
William, always with a video camera in hand, has recorded every competition in his son's life — except for the one when he qualified for the Olympics.
Dad mistakenly left the cam's charger at home.
"I was going to rip one of the cords out of the TV set in the hotel," he joked.
His mom couldn't even watch, she was so nervous. She always keeps her eyes shut until it's over.
"I cover my face and listen to the crowd. If they go 'aww,' I go, 'Is he all right, hon?' And he'll tell me yes or no."
It's hard to keep your eyes fixed on your child, especially when one wrong move risks injury. That horrible moment came in 2010 when Orozco injured his Achilles tendon during a miscalculated vaulting maneuver.
He underwent surgery, and now a teddy bear with a stethoscope — a gift from his parents while he was in the hospital — and a few get-well cards that sit in the room of honor are the only sign that it ever occurred.
When he returned to the mat in 2011, his mother had the courage to open her eyes, she said.
"I watched because there were no expectations," she added.
Sadly, the Olympics were set to be the first competition that his parents would miss.
Travel expenses were way beyond their means. The Orozcos don't even have a computer with a camera so that they can video chat with their son, who has been away at training camp for two years.
Then one night at a dinner for John, an announcement was made. Chobani Yogurt, John's sponsor, paid for his parents, and three independent sponsors pooled money together for his three brothers to go to London. They leave in 10 days.
The news couldn't make the Olympian happier, even though he'll only get to spend about four hours with them during the week.
"I'm so glad, because they were there for me," he said of his family.
"Especially when I was trying to do the impossible."

Although everyone is invited space is limited and the main lodge and cabins are full. We've already created an overflow list and are considering alternative lodging and snow support. If we can come up with a large enough overflow we may be able to offer snow support to transport people from the bear lodge, and anyone willing to drive from Lovell can meet at the road closure (if it's closed) at a designated time for a ride to the terrain. If you have touring gear you're looking at a mile skin from the Lovell side before you can launch. Camping is available as well. We will update you with this.
We're asking for the land kite community to post topics, concerns, and perspectives they would like discussed and we will post any conclusions and ideas from these discussions.

A dirty little secret about financial media is that many pundits make wild calls because their audience has a short attention span and will never hold them accountable.
I don't pretend to be smarter than anyone else out there, but I'd like to believe that I'm at least on the right side of the divide between the "more honest" pundits and "less honest" ones.
Granted, being less bad than some of the other hype artists out there may not count for much. But for what it's worth, I try — and I'm willing to improve, willing to change my mind when I'm wrong and willing to admit my mistakes.
So to that end, I try to regularly update my regular readers (hi, Mom and Dad) with a track record of sorts to prove I haven't forgotten about my previous commentary.
So here are my best and worst recent predictions as I see them. Let's start with the worst:

If God is so good, how can he allow such evil to exist in the world? This easily one of the most popular atheistic arguments, next to The Omnipotence Paradox and The Omniscience/Free Will Paradox. For a few thousand years, it was a solid argument against the biblical God, but has now been resolved.
The Problem of Evil
The original Problem of Evil is often attributed to an ancient Greek philosopher named Epicurus, who lived from 341-270 BC. It first went like this:
If an all-powerful and perfectly good god exists, then evil does not.
There is evil in the world.
Therefore, an all-powerful and perfectly good god does not exist.
This argument claims that the existence of evil in the world is not consistent with the characteristics of an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good God. This argument was eventually refined into the following:
God exists.
God is omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good.
A perfectly good being would want to prevent all evils.
An omniscient being knows every way in which evils can come into existence.
An omnipotent being, who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, has the power to prevent that evil from coming into existence.
A being who knows every way in which an evil can come into existence, who is able to prevent that evil from coming into existence, and who wants to do so, would prevent the existence of that evil.
If there exists an omnipotent, omniscient, and perfectly good being, then no evil exists.
Evil exists (logical contradiction).
The argument then says that a God who claims omnipotence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence cannot exist if there also exists evil in the world. The biblical God claims these three attributes, and there also exists evil in the world, so the biblical God cannot exist.
After all, if God was omnipotent, and omniscient, then he must not be omnibenevolent, because he knows evil is there, and has the power to stop it, but does not apparently will it.
If he is omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then he must not be omniscient, because he has the power to stop it, and wills that it should be stopped, but does not apparently know it is there.
If he is omnibenevolent and omniscient, then he must not be omnipotent, because he knows evil is there, and wills that it should be stopped, but apparently has not the power to stop it.
The problem of evil went unanswered for about 2000 years, but now, philosophers and theologians mainly consider it sufficiently refuted by Plantinga's free will defense.
Evil and Free Will
It is commonly admitted among theologians and philosophers that God's power does not extend to logical contradictions. For example, he cannot create a four-sided triangle or a married bachelor. It's a contradiction of terms. By the same logic, he cannot force an agent to freely choose good.
Therefore, Plantinga argues that it is impossible for God, even being omnipotent, to create a world of free creatures in which there is no evil. Plantinga summarizes his argument:
"A world containing creatures who are significantly free (and freely perform more good than evil actions) is more valuable, all else being equal, than a world containing no free creatures at all. Now God can create free creatures, but He can't cause or determine them to do only what is right. For if He does so, then they aren't significantly free after all; they do not do what is right freely. To create creatures capable of moral good, therefore, He must create creatures capable of moral evil; and He can't give these creatures the freedom to perform evil and at the same time prevent them from doing so. As it turned out, sadly enough, some of the free creatures God created went wrong in the exercise of their freedom; this is the source of moral evil. The fact that free creatures sometimes go wrong, however, counts neither against God's omnipotence nor against His goodness; for He could have forestalled the occurrence of moral evil only by removing the possibility of moral good."
It is impossible to create a world in which the creatures are free to be morally good and morally evil, and yet they cannot choose evil. It is equivalent to say that the creatures both are, and are not, free. It is just as impossible as creating a four-sided triangle or a married bachelor. It would be like bringing the agent to a fork in the road and telling him he may travel either way, yet one path is clearly blocked. Granting the freedom to travel either path would then be meaningless.
So not only are the attributes of the Christian God (omnipotence, omniscience, and omnibenevolence) not logically inconsistent with the presence of evil in the world, but rather it seems that it is absolutely necessary in order to achieve any good.

Bank of America (BAC) said Monday that it plans to cut some 30,000 jobs in total over the next several years and $5 billion a year by 2014. The announcement comes less than a week after BofA fired wealth-management head Sallie Krawcheck as part of a reorganization.
The company says, however, that it continues to hire financial advisors.
"Bank of America's Project New BAC is key to the company's strategy of focusing all of its resources on serving individuals, companies, and institutional investors," it said in a statement.
"The first result of New BAC was the recently announced management reorganization, removing a layer of management and streamlining the company by aligning its businesses with the customer groups," it explained.
"As the decisions are implemented, employment levels in the areas under review during Phase I are expected to be reduced by approximately 30,000 jobs over the next few years," BofA explained. "The company expects that attrition and the elimination of appropriate unfilled roles will be a significant part of the anticipated decrease in jobs."
BofA says it expects the first stage of its cost-cutting efforts to "lead to net expense reductions of $5 billion per year by 2014, on a baseline of $27 billion in annual expenses for the areas the company reviewed."
Wealth-Management Restructuring
Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said last week that he was reorganizing the bank's management and operating units around its three core customer groups: individuals, companies and institutional investors. As part of this shuffle, Sallie Krawcheck lost her job as head of wealth management (which includes Merrill Lynch).
Moynihan appointed David Darnell and Tom Montag to the new posts of co-chief operating officers and made them immediately accountable for all operations. Darnell was put in charge of the "individual customer" track, including the16,240-strong Merrill Lynch advisor force, Merrill Edge advisors and reps with U.S. Trust.
The number of Merrill Lynch advisors rose to 16,241 in the second quarter of 2010, up from 15,299 last year and 15,695 in the first quarter. Sales (or fees and commissions) per advisor on a trailing-12-month basis totaled $894,000 in Q2 vs. $843,000 last year and $931,000 in Q1.
In late August, Merrill hired 38 Merrill Edge advisors serving mass-affluent clients in and around Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia. The hiring is part of BofA-Merrill's plan to nearly double the number of Financial Solutions Advisors to 1,000-plus by year-end.
Some recruiters, however, are expressing concerns that the negative news surrounding BofA could hurt its "thundering herd" of advisors. "Many Merrill advisors we speak with are acknowledging that they may need to leave soon," said Mindy Diamond of Diamond Consultants in a phone interview with AdvisorOne on Wednesday. "Advisors were surprised by her departure and are now really concerned. It's been a tumultuous time for them … and with so much going on, it reminds them of 2008."
In late August, for instance, three Merrill advisors moved to UBS, which is now led by former Merrill executive Bob McCann. The advisors have combined yearly production of $2.85 million and $450 million in assets under management, according to UBS.
Overall Restructuring
Rochdale Securities analyst Richard Bove told Bloomberg Television on Monday that BofA is "in the position of restructuring its business lines to emphasize the capital and commercial businesses and de-emphasize as much as possible its consumer business."
The analyst, who has a "buy" rating on Bank of America, expects 750 branches to be shut down, along with a large number of computer centers. "Bank of America is rebuilding itself," he said.
Bove points out that the bank has about $140 billion of cash on its balance sheet, a larger amount in tangible common equity, and total liquidity of about $400 billion, when government-backed securities are included. "And it's getting $5 billion a month in deposits," he said.
If BofA were to face legal claims of $75 billion tied to mortgage-backed securities, it has "the cash to pay it," Bove explained. If the bank shrinks its balance sheet, he adds, it can improve its financial and capital ratios and "stay whole."
BofA's shares traded under $7 on Monday, after trading above $15 earlier this year.
In late August, the bank sold about half its interest in a Chinese financial organization for $8.3 billion, and Berkshire Hathaway (led by Warren Buffett) invested some $5 billion in BofA.

Mini-Mitt: Paul Ryan on the trail
Paul Ryan was heralded for injecting the Mitt Romney campaign with conservative cred and a true believer's zest for battle when he joined the ticket. But instead of Ryanizing Romney, the congressman's supporters fear just the opposite has happened.
Ryan has been used as a mini-Mitt.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Romney and Ryan, BFFs)
The congressman's role now is as little more than a dutiful No. 2, tossing out attack lines to crowds on less conspicuous stops. Instead of being a catalyst for big ideas, critics believe the campaign has been stuck in a pre-Ryan messaging rut. There hasn't been anywhere near enough of Ryan, they say, who has skipped most major national interviews and hewed to a specific script.
With Romney coming out of one of his roughest two weeks of the cycle, many Republicans believe the solution is not more Mitt, but more Ryan. And the coming Romney-Ryan bus tour next week is welcome news for Republicans.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told radio host Charlie Sykes on Friday that he is bewildered by the way things have gone since Ryan was picked.
"I thought [picking Ryan] was a signal that this guy [Romney] was getting serious, he's getting bold; it's not necessarily even a frustration over the way Paul Ryan's been used but rather in the larger context. I just haven't seen that kind of passion I know Paul has transferred over to our nominee, and I think it's a little bit of pushback from the folks in the national campaign. But I think for him to win, he's gotta [do] that."
( Also on POLITICO: Romney releases 2011 tax returns)
Walker added, "They not only need to use [Ryan] out on the trail more effectively, they need to have more of him rub off on Mitt because I think Mitt thinks that way but he's gotta be able to articulate that. … I think too many people are restraining him from telling [his vision]."
Said Yuval Levin, a conservative thinker and close friend of Ryan, who was booed while defending his Medicare plan at the AARP conference on Friday: "The appeal of Ryan was twofold: He's one of the most effective critics of President [Barack] Obama and he's one of the most effective policy entrepreneurs in the party…They've used more of the former than the latter but there's time yet. "
"I think Romney picked him to help run a better version of the campaign he was running," Levin said, but suggested Ryan could be used to "offer more of a policy contrast. The policies are there. The dots haven't been connected for the public and he could be effective in doing that."
Added Florida Rep. Allen West: "I will tell you I haven't seen him be as visible as maybe I thought he would be. … You put people on a battlefield so you can have a span of control; whatever you're strong in, you want them to shore you up in the other areas. You gotta figure out where you can send Paul Ryan to let him be Paul Ryan. Guy's a smart guy."

Keith Letourneau gets a little carried away when it comes to his Ravens.
OK, maybe "a little carried away" doesn't quite do justice to Letourneau's crazed, high-decibel reaction to the Ravens' playoff victory over the Denver Broncos Saturday -- reactions that his wife, Rachel, dutifully recorded on video and posted online via Youtube.
You can see the three videos -- one made when the Ravens tied the score at 28-28, one when they tied the score at 35-35 with just over a minute left in the game, one made as Justin Tucker was kicking the winning field goal in overtime -- here.
But please, be sure to turn the volume down on your computer before you do.
"Something happens when he gets to the playoffs," Rachel Letourneau says from her Bel Air home, by way of explaining her husband's loss of control.
Yeah, his reaction is a bit over-the-top, Keith Letourneau confesses. But it's genuine.
"I'm very passionate when I watch a game," he says, aware that he's woefully understating the case. "It doesn't matter if I'm home or at a bar with friends or even at the stadium. I'm just one of those fans who screams and yells and just wants to have a good time."
Indeed he is. One shudders to think what will happen when the Ravens win the Super Bowl.
Our advice: Ear plugs.

David Pogue talks smart phone apps, flight search engines, best check-in practices, and lap-top friendly flights on his NYTimes.com blog, Pogue's Posts. See the lastest in travel technology here.
Colorado.com, the official site of Colorado Tourism, has all the basic travel tips for coming to the High Rockies. Here are a couple of helpful ones for the summertime:
- Colorado is the highest-altitude state in the U.S. Drink more water than usual, moderate alcohol and tobacco intake, and, if possible, spend a night in the intermediate-elevation Front Range (Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, or Colorado Springs) or Western Slope (Grand Junction, Fruita, or the Four Corners region) before coming up to Vail. Also, always wear sunscreen and reapply diligently!
- Weather changes rapidly here. Dress in layers! It will be cool in the mornings and evenings (mid 40s to high 50s) and then warm during the day (anywhere from low 70s to high 80s). Also, it is currently monsoon season, which means afternoon thunderstorms roll an hour or two after lunchtime. They rarely last very long, but raingear is recommended.
*Staff suggestion: Please know that most properties in the High Rockies do not have air conditioning! Due to the dry climate and high altitude, it is rarely necessary. We recommend leaving your windows open throughout the day and evening (with exception to the afternoon thunderstorms). It will circulate air through your condo and keep it cool.
Lonely Planet, the world-renown travel guidebook publisher, lists Colorado's top scenic drives as:
- Top of the Rockies (115 miles) takes you from Leadville, the highest incorporated town in America at 10,430 feet, down Fremont Pass. Follow Hwy 24 down Tennessee Pass to Minturn. Then bear right on Hwy 92 toward Twin Likes before going over Independence Pass and into Aspen.
- Independence Pass (27 miles) is an abbreviated version of the drive explained above, but classic nonetheless. It's full of old mining ruins, alpine tundra, and glaciers.
- Trail Ridge Road (47 miles) goes over the Continental Divide in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is one of the best places to see moose and elk. Highlights include Milner Pass and the tiny town of Grand Lake at the west entrance.
- Peak to Peak Hwy (55 miles) runs south to north from I-70 outside of Denver up to Estes Park, at the east entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Along the way it passes small mining and bohemian towns alike and showcases extraordinary high country scenery, including views of 14,255-foot Longs Peak.
- Highway of Legends (110 miles) starts in the southern Colorado town of Trinidad and takes Hwy 12 through Cokedale, passing 300 coke ovens en route over Cucharas Pass as well as the extinct volcanoes, Spanish Peaks.
- Santa Fe Trail (188 miles each way) is a long, historic route through southeastern Colorado (again leaving from the Trinidad area) that cross into Kansas. Take Hwy 350 to La Junta, driving through expansive grasslands and ranches. The out-and-back's highlights include Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site, Iron Spring and Picketwire Dinosaur Tracksite.
*Staff pick for driving tour (not on list above): Shrine Pass. From Vail, take I-70 east towards Denver. Get off at exit 190. Merge onto the dirt road south of the highway, following signs for Shrine Pass. There is a 4.6-mile round-trip hike that tours wildflowers on the way up to Shrine Mountain Crags. The scenery at the top is similar to Vail Mountain's back bowls, but significantly untouched. Hike or not, continue on the 4WD road as it winds through White River National Forest with views of Mount of the Holy Cross. The dirt road brings you into the small town of Red Cliff. Head through town, then turn right on Hwy 24 and drive through Minturn. Merge onto I-70 east to come back to Vail.

Ooey Gooey Cheese? Yes Please!
New research: Calcium gleaned from foods rather than pills protects bones better.
At Snack Spy HQ, we believe anything is better with Cheddar (potatoes, broccoli, dinner with the mother-in-law). But we didn't think we were doing our waistline any favors by indulging. That is, until research at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis gave us a new reason to say "cheese!": Women who get calcium from food rather than supplements see a 6 percent reduction in body fat for every 300 mg of calcium they eat–plus reap healthier bones and fewer PMS symptoms. But one look at the label of some popular treats reveals a lack of calcium and an overload of calories. So we tracked down three cheese-tastic, high calcium snacks that deliver plenty of guilt-free melty goodness.
Whether pizza is frozen or from the "world famous" neighborhood joint, we can never stop at just one slice. So when we spied bite size pizza rolls at the store, we thought, What a perfect way to satisfy a hankering without going overboard. The problem: With ingredients like enzyme-modified cheese and partially hydrogenated oil these things sound more high-tech than wholesome. Thankfully, a friend shared the scoop on a new way to get a pizza fix: Amy's Cheese Pizza Snacks ($7 for the 6oz., at NetGrocer.com and most supermarkets). These teeny treats have a puffy crisp crust filled with genuine tomatoe sauce and real mozzarella. And each six-roll serving has 15 percent of the daily value of calcium for just 190 calories. Mangia!

(Reuters) – Actress Laura Linney, the female cast members of TV drama "Mad Men" and directors Sofia Coppola and George Lucas were named on Monday as winners of Hollywood's annual Crystal and Lucy Awards, which honor women's achievement in film.
The Women in Film organization, which promotes gender parity in the historically male-dominated film business, will honor winners in six award categories at a fundraiser in Beverly Hills in June.
Linney, 49, best known for her Oscar-nominated performance in the 2007 film "The Savages," will receive the award for Excellence in Film.
Five "Mad Men" actresses, Christina Hendricks, January Jones, Elisabeth Moss, Jessica Paré and Kiernan Shipka, will be honored with the Excellence in Television award.
Each actress plays a character that defines the changing gender roles in the 1960s United States portrayed in the series.
Oscar-winner Coppola, 41, who was also nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for 2003's "Lost in Translation," will receive the Directors Award, and "Star Wars" director George Lucas will take home the Humanitarian Award.
Teenage actress Hailee Steinfeld, known for her Oscar-nominated role in the 2010 film "True Grit," will be honored with the Face of the Future Award and Rachel Morrison will receive the Vision Award for cinematography.
Women in Film began hosting the awards in 1977.

I originally started this blog to document house renovations. We don't really have any more to renovate but in January - yeah like 1/2 a year ago we did have to make an update to Dutch's room. He climbed out of his crib one night and appeared in our room. It was really scary but so hilarious because he stood outside our door but we could see his dog and blanket in his hand. Then he came through the door jabbering trying to explain himself. Needless to say Eric refused to put him back in his crib. So we said "byezzz" to the crib and got a new toddler bed.
I never thought we would have a toddler bed, just go straight to a big bed but Dutch was too little for that big bed. I really wanted the Land of Nod Jenny Lind bed but $400 for a toddler bed, um yeah no! So after a few clicks I found a knock off at Walmart for $99. Much better. (Looks like it is out of stock right now. Sorry!)
I was really wanting a white toddler bed like his crib but they didn't offer white. The grey is a really pretty color but doesn't contrast with the walls as much as I would prefer but overall this is a great bed. Plus it is really cute and I can still store diapers, etc underneath. Phew!
And this is how we got him use to sleeping in a bed that he can easily get out of. Ha.
Hope y'all are well!

Cuomo Stockpiles Cash
New York Governor Outpaces All Other Gubernatorial Candidates Entering 2014 Races
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, facing no formidable re-election challenger yet, has raised by far the most money of any gubernatorial candidate in the country entering a 2014 race, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis—prompting questions about how he plans to spend his campaign war chest.
Mr. Cuomo's $27.8 million of cash on hand in his campaign account as of July—his most recent filing—is nearly three times as much as the second-most-successful gubernatorial fundraiser, his fellow Democrat Jerry Brown, the California governor...

QUINCY, Mass. - Mike Vasquez pitched a five-hit complete game shutout to lead MIT (15-7) past Eastern Nazarene College (12-9-1) in a non-conference tilt, Thursday, at Bradley Field. The Engineers blanked the Crusaders, 13-0; catapulting to victory with a nine-run fifth.
Jason Witzberger accounted for Tech's first run in the opening frame. After drawing his team-leading 18th walk of the season to start the game, the reigning NEWMAC Player of the Week swiped two bags that put the first batter of the afternoon on third. Wayne Duggan lined a sacrifice fly to right field to bring home Witzberger, who reached base safely for the 20th consecutive game.
The Engineers clung to their one-run lead until the top of the fifth. Unleashing its trademark power surge, MIT scored nine runs in the inning that all but sealed the Crusaders fate. Freshman Kevin Wheeler sparked the offensive push with a two-run single, while Warren Bates knocked home two more with a double. MIT scattered nine hits during the inning and three errors by the ENC defense kept inning-ending outs away from reach.
While the offense upped the advantage to 10-0, rookie Mike Vasquez enjoyed the most impressive start of his career. The Minnesota southpaw recorded only one strikeout, but drew 14 ground ball outs including two double-plays. He threw just over 70 pitches in the seven-inning tilt, and was in superior control of his command.
MIT tacked on some insurance in the seventh. Wheeler picked up his game-high fourth RBI of the day with a single before Aaron Kent capped the scoring with a two-run homeun; his second bomb of the season.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The attorney for Florida State's Jameis Winston says the quarterback volunteered a DNA sample last week to the Tallahassee Police Department as part of the sexual assault investigation involving his client.
Tim Jansen said at a Thursday press conference that he is upset that the information was leaked and made public through the media. ESPN first reported Wednesday night that Winston's DNA matched a sample taken from the underwear of the accuser.
Jansen told reporters that he has not seen the results of the DNA tests and found out watching television.
Jansen says he's surprised the DNA results were leaked out by law enforcement but, "This DNA has no impact whatsoever on this case. The two eyewitnesses that were present will exonerate" Winston.

Yesterday we went over some of the new items that will be available in Zul'Aman with patch 2.3. Today we'll talk about drops from the big boys of Zul'Aman, Hexxlord Malacrass and Zul'jin.
Hexxlord Malacrass drops a nice head item, [item]Battleworn Tuskguard[/item], which in my opinion is on par with the crafted [item]Helm of the Stalwart Defender[/item], and comes close to the Tier5, [item]Destroyer Greathelm[/item]. It is much better than [item]Eternium Greathelm[/item] and [item]Warbringer Greathelm[/item]. Of course, who cares about helms when you could have this wonderful trinket? [item]Tiny Voodoo Mask[/item]
Zul'jin brings us a few nice items. We get not only a trinket, and a breastplate, but a nice new tanking axe as well! [item]Ancient Aqir Artifact[/item] is a very nice trinket. [item]Chestguard of the Warlord[/item] is a marvelous chest piece, beating out pretty much everything short of Black Temple, Tier6 drops. If this chest were in the game when I was working on blacksmithing, I would have gone with another profession in a heartbeat, as in my opinion it handily beats [item]Bulwark of Kings[/item]. [item]Cleaver of the Unforgiving[/item] is a lovely tanking axe, having more DPS, more stamina, and a gem socket over [item]King's Defender[/item]. Being an orc, with axe specialization racial (albeit getting nerfed in 2.3), I would really like to acquire this beauty.
All in all, the armor drops from Zul'Aman are heavy on Shield Block Value and Rating, which I like. There's also more blue gem slots, allowing us to gain the socket bonus on more pieces of gear that we only slot [item]Solid Star of Elune[/item].
There are many items here that should keep you frothing over running Zul'Aman for long to come

My Dear Daughters: When I Am Dead and Gone, Please Keep These Things
To help my daughters identify these items, I am taking pictures of them and adding them to a folder called "Keep These" in iPhoto on my computer. I would like to post some of these pictures here so that I can share the stories behind the items that make them so precious to me and my husband.
You see, most of these things are very ordinary looking. Some are old and worn, some are chipped, some are dull. And, I am embarrassed to admit, we have a lot of junk lying around this house. Add to that thousands of books, records, CDs, photo albums, and what may eventually be many boxes filled with genealogy files, that amounts to a lot of stuff that my two daughters will have to sort through. How will they be able to identify which items should be kept? Will they be able to remember an offhand remark I made about that little brown and blue coffee cup with the chip that my mother gave me one Christmas?
So here is the first item, the above-mentioned coffee cup. My mother gave it to me one Christmas when I was in college. It has a chip on the rim which my husband repaired many years ago. It is my favorite coffee cup for two reasons. The first is that I like the way the rim feels against my lips when I drink coffee from it; even with the chip, it is very, very smooth, and I am very particular about this. The second reason is that my mother had very little money with which to buy presents for people, so the things that she bought for me are especially dear. She bought me several practical items that were quite sturdy and have endured and had a lot of use through the years, including this cup.
My goodness, how did all that grime get between the tiles?

Thanks for the Puckerbrush Award! I really appreciate it. Glad you are enjoying my blog. I think your picture idea of family heirlooms to keep is a neat one.
These "little" items are so important, aren't they? I've been so busy trying to photogrpah the past, that I forget I need to photograph the present in order to tell "my" story. Thanks for a great post!ReplyDelete
Greta, What a great thing to do. I have been given several old items that were my grandmother's and great grandmother's. I put notes with them but I worry the notes will get lost and I won't remember what belonged to who. I think I'll make that a project.ReplyDelete
Like Harriet said, put notes on them. Use labels that will stay for a long time. If there is room, the item is big enough and it has some place the label can be places with out being too noticable. Then write the history of the item, who all it belonged to, and maybe even who you intend to pass it down to. That away if the file gets lost in the pile of papers, the items still have something on them. You remind me I have a few things from my grandmothers that I need to do that to. I mean to and never get around to it.ReplyDelete
Once again, another great blog idea! I have put notes behind plates, framed photos and all items hanging on walls that are heirlooms. Some of my cabinets look like a museum as I made small cardboard "name plates" for some items. And then there is the database on the computer....But, I have two sons, who will probably sell the whole kitakaboodle :-(ReplyDelete

Therefore I decided to share my thoughts, ideas and suggestions about issues, news, events, statements and positions I felt comfortable or intriguing enough to discuss. I strive to keep an open mind about the topic, often I enlighten myself in conversations with others offering a different perspective and experiences. My goal is not to blame or hold any ill will towards those who may disagree with my position, but to offer an alternate perspective. We all come to our own conclusions based off of our own experiences and knowledge. I welcome you to comment and share your thoughts, ideas and suggestions, but ask that you remain courteous and respectful. Me I see myself as a regular guy trying to fit into and help create a "beloved community". My attempts to utilize this space to create a dialogue in hopes that it encourages others to strive towards what life ought to be. Throughout…

The We're Listening Blog Series: Your Cisco.com Experience
In the "We're Listening" blog series, we continue to look at the transformative measures taking place across Cisco to improve your experience working with us. In this installment, Martin Hardee joins us to talk about recent changes to Cisco.com and our mobile web, and how his team uses your feedback to zero in on the right areas for improvement. Martin is Director of Web Marketing and Strategy, focused on Cisco's efforts to improve the overall Cisco.com experience.
By Guest Contributor Martin Hardee
It's a familiar frustration: you come across a website link that goes nowhere, or you go to download an image and have enough time to make coffee AND drink multiple cups. These days, you can't afford to wait. It's about getting what you need quickly and easily.
The Cisco.com team knows this, and wants to take the right steps to improve your online experience. That's why we use a number of mechanisms to gather and respond to your feedback about Cisco.com and our mobile web – from usability tests to social media listening, feedback links to focus groups. Every month, we review thousands of pieces of data about your experience, and we're making some big changes to the Cisco.com experience as a result of that feedback.
Cisco.com – Simplified, Quicker Results
We recently introduced a tool that helps us identify and fix broken links on Cisco.com much more quickly. Within just three months of launching that tool, we've quadrupled the percentage of broken link corrections, shielding Cisco.com users from broken link errors – and we're just getting started.
We've also been working hard to improve Cisco.com's login and registration experience. In the past year, we've implemented enhancements that simplify and personalize your experience, including:
- Consolidation of two separate login systems into one, requiring fewer logins on all Cisco.com sites
- Registration form enhancements, such as a password strength indicator, and the addition of a dynamic visual cue
- Localization of the login page, so your preferred language is already loaded
Finally, we turned to the software downloads experience. Finding, selecting and downloading software is one of the most common Cisco.com tasks. You asked us to make the process simpler and faster and we responded by:
- Personalizing the Cisco Support Website software area, piloting user rating and review features, and cutting in half the number of steps required to select software
- Harnessing cloud power to more than triple the download speed, resulting in an 81% decrease in download time worldwide
- Pushing 75% of software images to the cloud – starting with the most popular and larger images for widest impact – with more to come
Together, these changes have helped boost software downloads from 3.5 million files in FY 2011 to 6 million files in FY 2012.
Making Feedback Count
These new, targeted improvements are the result of enhanced listening and feedback management processes that give us the power to connect to your suggestions, compliments and complaints in real-time, and then take action to integrate your input into every aspect of the Cisco.com experience.
Elements of our listening program include:
- Real-time monitoring of issues
- Streamlined internal processes that allow for faster response time to feedback received via the website
- Faster feedback integration and issue resolution
The listening program is run by a multi-organization team, ensuring that we have the right channels and expertise ready to receive your specific feedback. Whether you've encountered a Cisco document typo, content error, broken link, or specific product issue, our team is ready to listen and take action.
We are committed to making it easier to do business with Cisco and we recognize that Cisco.com is often your first stop when working with us. That's why improving the user experience online is our top priority and we'll continue to look to your feedback to help us make the right changes, while keeping you informed of changes that are on the way. Please keep an eye on this blog series for news and updates.
Please reach out to us with any feedback or questions by e-mailing email@example.com.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Lapping the couch
No matter how slow you are going, you are still lapping everyone on the couch.
You may have encountered the above quote already. Obviously, it's intended to serve as a spark of consolation when you find yourself trailing at the back of the kayak bunch, or when flubbing rolls, or simply whenever you've been comparing your efforts with those of some superhuman who probably only exists in your head. Even although you are a little slow/stiff/out-of-condition, you're at least not as bad as that pizza-guzzling slob on the couch, also in your head. But there lies a problem with the quote itself – it is once again doing comparing. This time, it's you and the aforementioned slob. And that's when things get tricky.
I'm kind of done with dualistic or competitive thinking such as: me versus (insert name of sporting hero here), me versus my 22 year-old self, me versus the imaginary couch-dweller, me versus you. It deals in delusion and doesn't achieve much. Often only half the facts are available and many assumptions are made. For example, the person on the couch could be injured, or ill. There are many kayakers who have been in that very position and it has perhaps been the primary reason for them abandoning another activity, such as hillwalking, and taking up paddling instead. Alan is one of them.
Injuries can teach you a lot (perhaps that's why many kayakers are so wise). First of all, they force you to slow down and assess. This in turn breeds acceptance. Then you start to learn, not just about your injury, but how to help it heal and how to prevent it recurring. If it's beyond that, then the human spirit has a way of finding other life-affirming interests. It can be a real voyage of discovery.
Many people have come to Greenland kayaking as a result of bodily incompatibilities with a Euro paddle. All it takes is a wrenched shoulder to prompt an investigation of more traditional methods of rolling and forward progress. The Inuit did know a thing or two, long before the Europeans. And therein lies a world of opportunity, with all sorts of morale-boosting accomplishments waiting to be attained, as well as a strong connection to the very origins of kayaking.
And where there is life, there is always hope – or rather, possibility. After finally overcoming an old hip problem, and many comeback attempts over the best part of a decade, not to mention the anguish associated with an unrelated but sombre diagnosis, I have unexpectedly returned to running. Of course, this is an activity that has a strong association with injury. It didn't ever occur to me that this shouldn't necessarily be the case and that – like yoga, swimming or kayaking – there is a technique to be mastered which can prevent injury (and which I'm learning!), that state-of-the-art shoes might be harmful (heel-strikers beware!), that cross-training is vital, as is yoga plus strength and flexibility exercises generally. I've also been learning about the incredible benefits of plant-based whole foods for fuelling and rebuilding the body cell by cell (so many ultra-athletes can't be wrong), as well as therapies such as Trigger Point and Active Release Technique (a foam roller is your friend). And I used to think I knew about running. Everything in life boils down to – and let's get dualistic for a moment – awareness versus ignorance.
Most of all, I've been learning about the mind's ability to focus on the positive, or the negative, and to therefore contribute towards a corresponding outcome. Years ago, I talked myself out of running and gave up on it featuring in my life again. It's come as a real surprise to welcome it back, simply because I opened one more little window of possibility. I'm just working on shorter distances at the moment. Maybe one day they'll amount to something. Maybe they won't. Maybe it'll just be nice to run along the shore road for a bit. Regardless, it's a treasure. Kayaking has taught me to leave my Type A-ness at home and just try things out, to enjoy the scenery, to see what the sea and the wind bring. It can be applied throughout life.
Of course, when I spoke about making comparisons, I didn't mean to confuse this with gaining inspiration from others. As I watched Felix Baumgartner fall 128,000 feet to Earth, I was dumbfounded by his bravery. If I were silly enough to make comparisons, let's just say I was several places behind Felix when they were handing out the awesome – but that doesn't stop me from being inspired by him. Even so, there is more to that particular story. Falling through space might not have fazed Felix, but wearing a spacesuit did, and the claustrophobia he experienced in practice runs nearly became a showstopper. As I mentioned, sometimes you only know half the story.
For now, I'm thankful to be lapping the couch, whether someone happens to be on it or not. But I'd encourage anyone seated there not to give up, no matter how pointless it all feels. You just never know what windows are going to open and what sea breezes might come rushing in.
Because you are alive, everything is possible.
– Thich Nhat Hahn

Prince Tennis Bags and Backpacks
Prince tennis bags first hit the courts in 1980. As the inventor of the first oversized racquet, it stands to reason that a Prince tennis racquet bag, large enough to accommodate such a racquet would not be far behind. As Team Prince continues to dominate the tennis courts, Prince has continued to modify their tennis bags.
The Tour Team Collection
The Tour Team collection is available in a variety of colors; green, pink, and the striking EX03 black and orange. The Tour Team 12-pack not only carries 12 racquets, but also features a removable sack pack for clothing, a water bottle cooler pocket, thermal lining on the racquet compartments and a footwear pocket. Getting everything you need to the court has never been easier with this Prince Tennis bag. The tour bags come in 12, 6 and 3 racquet options and also as a back pack, which will hold up to 2 racquets and has a large interior packet that can easily hold a laptop. The Prince Tour Team duffel holds all of your tennis gear, especially convenient for players who travel to far away tournaments. The Tour Team Pink collection tote holds up to four oversized racquets and has two exterior lateral pockets for ball cans and water bottles.
