Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry BussLakers owner Jerry Buss – Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss died Monday, February 18, a hospital spokeswoman said. Buss, 80, had long been a fixture in the NBA though he increasingly left day-to-day operations of the Lakers to his children in recent years. With 10 NBA championships and 16 Western Conference titles, Buss was nothing if not a winner. Credited with procuring the likes of Earvin "Magic" Johnson, James Worthy, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, it's inarguable that he was instrumental in cementing the Lakers' claim to being the second-best NBA team of all time, behind the Boston Celtics. Hide Caption 1 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1953 – After finishing his chemistry degree from the University of Wyoming in 2½ years, Buss went on to receive his master's in chemistry at the University of Southern California and completed his doctorate by age 24. Pictured, Buss watches USC play Arizona State in 2009 in Los Angeles.Hide Caption 2 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1979 – Buss, who found success in the real estate industry, purchased the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings hockey team for $67.5 million, a record transaction for any franchise at the time. Forbes now values the Lakers alone at $1 billion, making the team the second most valuable franchise in the NBA behind the New York Knicks. Pictured, Buss, bottom left, sits for a team portrait in 1980.Hide Caption 3 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1980 – The Lakers won their first of 10 championships under Buss. Veteran center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar averaged a monstrous 32 points, 13 rebounds and four blocks during the playoffs, but he had to share the stage with a 20-year-old rookie who would soon become a legend himself, Earvin "Magic" Johnson. Pictured, Johnson dumps champagne on Buss after winning a game in the 1980 series. Hide Caption 4 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1984 – After the Lakers' first championship under Buss, either the Lakers or Boston Celtics played in the next four championship series. The Celtics won the 1984 championship in seven games, reigniting a storied rivalry between the two teams that had waned after the championship contests of the 1960s. Pictured, "Magic" Johnson and the Boston Celtics' Larry Bird in the NBA Finals in 1984.Hide Caption 5 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1985 – The Lakers took back the title from the Celtics in 1985. During the series, Larry Bird averaged 26 points and nine rebounds to Johnson's 18 points and 15 assists. The series marked the pinnacle of a rivalry that helped boost the NBA's attendance and television ratings. Pictured, Buss and his team celebrate winning the 1985 Finals.Hide Caption 6 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1988 – The so-called Showtime Lakers won their last championship of the era. The team couldn't keep up with Detroit's Motor City Bad Boys, who went on to back-to-back championships in 1989 and 1990. Pictured, Abdul-Jabbar of the Lakers defends against Bill Laimbeer of the Detroit Pistons during a 1988 NBA Finals game.Hide Caption 7 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1991 – Buss' Lakers got their last whiff of a championship during this era, winning the first game of the series before losing to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls in four straight games. With Abdul-Jabbar retired, the other Lakers began showing their age. The Lakers didn't make another championship until 2000. Pictured, "Magic" Johnson faces off against Jordan in the '91 finals.Hide Caption 8 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1992 – Buss had stellar finishes in back-to-back World Series of Poker competitions. He finished third in a 1991 seven-card stud tournament and followed that up with a 15th-place finish in the 1992 No Limit Hold'em competition. He won a collective $189,241 between 1991 and 2011, according to pokerpages.com. Pictured, Buss plays poker with actress Bai Ling at a 2006 event. Hide Caption 9 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1997 – After the WNBA is formed, Buss operated the Los Angeles Sparks franchise. Lisa Leslie joined the inaugural team in 1997, proving Buss' reputation for snaring supreme talent knew no gender boundary. Leslie's storied career included seven All-Star appearances, four Olympic gold medals and two WNBA titles. Pictured, Leslie grabs a rebound during a 1997 WNBA game against the Houston Comets.Hide Caption 10 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss1999 – The Lakers and Sparks moved into the $375 million Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles in 1999.

They beat Indiana in six games as O'Neal racked up his first of three consecutive NBA Finals MVP honors.Hide Caption 12 of 16 Photos: Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss2002 – Not only did Buss' Lakers win their third-straight championship, but his Sparks racked up their second consecutive title.

A Summer/Fall transition mini capsule wardrobe for a first grader
September 24, 2015
I made a mini collection for the first time! It is a capsule wardrobe for my first grader. I can't believe this little monkey of mine started Primary School this week! Eeeek! She is so, so excited! Every day when she comes home she asks "Today I haven't learned to read yet. When will Miss L. teach us how to read?". She will be an avid reader, I can tell you.
I have made seven different pieces that can mix-and-match between themselves to create several different outfits.
Six of those were made (printed, cut and sewn) two days ago in less than 24 hours... Yeah, you read that right. I am that sewing addict (aka crazy).
Life really got in the way these two last weeks. Between last week of Summer holidays with activities, shopping for school and parents-teacher meetings in all three schools, and the beginning of school on Monday with a new routine (that we are still adapting to...)
So, on Tuesday I finally took hands on this and between pick-ups, cooking meals, cleaning the kitchen between meals, feeding the kids, bathing the kids and doing homework with them, I managed to sew six things. Everything is understitched, topstitched, edgestitched, all seams are finished and all stripes are matching. In all honesty I don't know how I was able to do it all! Well, maybe the fact that I only slept for 4 and half hours that night helped a bit... I am lucky to live well with 6 hours of sleep, so it wasn't that bad. Gladly I am only this crazy once or twice a year. :)

Will Harridge
Will Harridge (1883 - 1971) was a man who never played a game of baseball. But he sure did play the hand of cards he was dealt right into the top executive ranks of America's favorite 19th century sport.
Harridge was president of the American League, one of the two major leagues of American baseball, from 1931 to 1959. He was known for all of his hard work, which included carrying the bags of the rich and famous, pushing the American League to play in an annual All-Star game, and showing midgets the door - a door they've never tried to reopen ("If only Jackie Robinson had been a midget...." Harridge told his barber). Will Harridge, a stately and full-on gentleman, sat around for literally decades at a time making the hard decisions which grey the hair and crinkle the neck of most chief executives.
On the other hand - and there's always an other hand - Will Harridge is equally not known, but should be honored as a saint, a literal saint whose relics get passed down through generations of sports history fans, aficionados of irony, and/or ever-trusting eBay customers, for distributing a large percentage of the signatures on the documents and letters contained in the American League archives to autograph collectors (see below).
For all of these things, except for the autograph flyover (historians agree it would be a hoot to find out when they caught on to it over at the New York office), Harridge was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972, just in time for him to be dead.
Career (a.k.a. "Once upon a time...")[edit]
Will Harridge started his career in baseball over a century ago, in that eventful year, 1911 (quick, name one thing that happened in 1911). It was a time when cowboys and Indians still fought it out in corrals, dry gulches, and middles of streets; frightened crowds and terrified schoolchildren would gather, gasp, and point at the flying metal birds in the sky, and moving pictures which scared the sauerkraut out of anyone who paid good money to see them were but a glint in Nikola Tesla's eye.
One morning, during all of this commotion, the American League founder and first president, Ban "The Bomb" Johnson - the man who saved baseball from falling into a dirty canvas bag in 1901 by creating, out of whole naught, an entire league capable of sustained healthy competition - was about to travel from Chicago to Boston. He was determined to harrass the million-dollar Red Sox outfield of Tris Speaker, Duffy Lewis, and Harry Hooper into putting their pants on while on the field. As Johnson sat waiting for his train he grew bored of looking at hoop skirts and kids selling sassafras tea, so after a few drinks, one of those quarter-second naps where your head falls on your chest, and a shoe shine from a negro, Johnson got to talking to the railway ticket clerk who was carrying his bags. JabWickedly soused, six sheets to the wind, and feeling no pain, Johnson patted the clerk hard on the back, shook his hand, and hired him then and there to be his personal secretary.
When Johnson sobered up and realized that Will Harridge wasn't his favorite nephew, but a guy who looked a little like him from the side, he kept his word anyway. The ticket clerk swept up around the American League's itty-bitty two-room Michigan Avenue office for the next sixteen years.
Harridge spent many of those sixteen years looking out the window at Lake Michigan - the biggest body of water in the whole world according to Will's mom - and feeding the pigeons on its ledge. He could only dream of what lay beyond Michigan Avenue, the doggone-it-if-it-ain't busiest street on God's green Earth (ma, again). When Will wasn't staring out his window, he made Ban Johnson's coffee, fetched his newspapers and slippers, procured his women, carried his bags, and listened to his drunken ramblings when he called at 3 a.m. to ask Will to remind him in the morning about his crazy idea to institute night baseball. Will Harridge kept this up, day in and day out, night after night, month after month, for all of those sixteen years.
Then, smack dab in one of the greatest years baseball would ever know, 1927, lo and behold - Ban Johnson was finally handed his hat, shown the door, and "allowed" to retire. And when Harridge refused to carry his bags to the curb suddenly he was not just a mamby-pamby personal secretary, he was the secretary of the entire American League.
The Detroit Tigers owner, Frank Navin, then took over as Acting President for a cup of coffee (served by Will). Next, behold and lo - and thank goddess for unhealthy lifestyles - one of his Tiger underlings, Ernest "E.S." Barnard (the "S." stands for Sassssssy!) looked around the cramped office and decided it was his turn at the helm.
E.S. and Will got along famously. The lads down at McFinniginties still talk about the dart games that went on to dawn, and remember those carefree and wasted afternoons at the ballpark and the friendship that grew and endured. Until one fine day in 1931 when E.S. Barnard took a called third strike and decided to die.
Well, Will Harridge had hung around the office during those four years too. Pointing at the phone, filing correspondence, harassing Tris Speaker, taking long lunches, and practicing his putting. And now, with Barnard as dead as the spitball, Harridge sat down, took a peek out of his window, saw his ship coming in, and told everyone that he "wasn't going anywhere".
And just like that they named the office gofer the President of the American League.
Now Harridge was the one sitting in the catbird seat, proudly preening while perched at the big brown desk, as competent as any man who ever sat there. After a few days of accepting insincere handshakes, calls of feigned congratulations, and shouts of "Job well done, lad!" from his mother, Harridge realized that now someone else could fetch the coffee and sweep up the office. So it came to pass, as if guided by the unseen hand itself, that Will placed an ad in the paper and hired Mary to be his secretary....not realizing until it was too late that it was the best move he would ever make.
Now the story really begins, for what can we say about Mary that hasn't already been said before? Mary was the apple of her mother's eye, the orange of her father's nose, and the lump-in-the-throat girl of her local college. Even near the end of her life she could type, file, negotiate complicated contracts, and work the phones like a feral banker smelling newly-minted denominations while with her other hand she could sculpt mythological greek Gods out of soap, tie a four-square knot, and play both bridge and three-dimensional chess while reciting Ginsberg's Howl in braille.
Mary had an I.Q. that Albert Einstein called "Remarkable, for a girl", and had the biggest heart, nicest smile, and the Quickest Draw in the west.
Yet underneath Harridge's gentlemanly exterior and his secretary's polite kindness, Will and Mary were modest human beings (as opposed to the National League President and his secretary, rumoured by bellboys to be immodest lemurs). For the next 28 years (that's already 44 years that Harridge spent in that cramped two-room office) Will and Mary successfully promoted the American League without personally seeking the spotlight or pocketing a dime of the profits.
Among their proudest moments were stopping the now-legendary ballclub owner, Bill Veeck, from using a midget as a batter; resisting night baseball (Harridge had forgotten to remind Ban Johnson about his brilliant idea) because he was afraid of the dark; ruling that all ballplayers must carry their own bags, and, in 1933, convincing the American League owners, with a little help from Mary, to play in an interleague All-Star game, He thus got the credit for starting the mid-summer classic that has bored viewers ever since.
Will and Mary later faced some jeers from the box seats for allowing Arnold "Lyndon" Johnson, a business associate of Yankee owners Dan "Sprinkles" Topping and Del "World Wide" Webb, to purchase the once-powerfull Philadelphia Athletics and move them to the godforsaken rube town of Kansas City. And then in everthing-but-name-only turn the A's into a Yankee farm team. Harridge was accused of turning a blind eye, a deaf ear, and a receding hairline to the tight-fisted control that the sadistic Yankees had over the machocistic A's (for example, that time that Babe Ruth pantsed Lefty Grove, gave Jimmie Foxx an Indian burn he'd never forget, and slapped a baby inside the manager's daughter). Will and Mary just shrugged and said "Philadelphia still has a mint, a bell, and a world class art museum" (which the Yankess tried to move to Kansas City).
Will Harridge and Mary worked and cherished their posts during America's Great Depression, helped to inspire and encourage the nation to get through World War II, and distracted the American public from the "Red Scare", Elvis' hips, and Kerouac. Yet then, in 1959, after taking a few bumps in the road and for having too much Michigan Avenue style and not enough Park Avenue pazzaz, Will and Mary were, ahem, for lack of a better word such as fired, "retired".
Yep. History will show that when a mere shortstop took over the president's chair, Will Harridge was thrown a ceremonial demarrowed bone. He was named President Emeritus of the American League and its impotent Chairman of the Board. And Mary was thrown out with the trash by being named Secretary Emiritus. The official American League office was moved into their fine new headquarters in New York City, a suite with dozens of windows and more room than was needed to play a brisk game of office-fungo. As a consolation prize befitting a torn package of "Cracker Jack", Will and Mary were allowed to keep their beloved and cramped two-room Chicago office up and running for nobody to visit and no one to phone.
But just wait, baseball fans. Here it comes. The important part. The ace up the sleeve. The Star Chamber, the yodel, the MacGuffin. By some insanely incompetent decision on the American League's part, Will and Mary still acted as sole custodians of the archival documents and correspondance files. The documents - the complete historical record of the American League dating from 1901 to 1959 - were kept in a row of file cabinets in the first of the two rooms in the office. Mary sat at her desk in that room. Will sat at his desk in the other room, a few feet away. And they sat, and sat, with visitors few and far between, for another six years. Thus, after decades of constant activity, and six years of being relegated to an "emeritus" status which gave them all the prestige of an ancestoral portrait dusted off when the family was due on holiday, boredom finally set in.
"What to do?" they thought. "What to do?"
The Happiness of the Long-Distance Autograph Collector[edit]
They went nuts. A benevolent nuts, like a loony-tune Robin Hood and loopy Maid Marion. Will and Mary decided to two-handidly mutilate a goodly portion of the accumulated documents, letters, records and manuscripts of the American League dating back to 1901 - the very heritage of one of the great American sports institutions - for the benefit of autograph collectors. They were wonderful people.
About twelve collectors knew about this backdoor route to looting the American League. They'd write a letter which looked like a grocery list, just listing names of players and owners whose autographs they wanted. Lou Gehrig, Ban Johnson, Charles Comiskey, Clark Griffith, Eddie Collins, Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis (some of his signature almost a straight line, predating the athletes of today who scribble and loop and convulse their indecipherable names), Ed Barrow, and scores of other stars and executives - almost all of whom were or would be in the Hall of Fame.
The lists kept coming in. Mary would happily sit at her desk, grab the historical documents, and with a song in her heart and a smile on her kindly face cut off the signatures with a pair of dime store scissors. With Will Harridge sitting at his old-timey desk in his old-timey suit in his very-very-old-timey office, and with Mary snipping and clicking the hours away, much of the pristine archival history of the league was sent packing. For the autograph collectors it was the perfect time to be alive.
Along with Mrs. Babe Ruth sending out old bank deposit slips signed by her husband, the AL office cornucopia was the best thing to happen to the baseball autograph collecting game in the 20th Century. Armed with an envelope, a stamp, a return self-addressed stamped envelope (if you were nice about it), and their dreams, they'd keep mailing to the office over and over again. They'd use their own name and address, their Aunt's name and address, their cousin's home in the city, or, in bold deceit, take on the disguise of a president of a high school autograph club (please send 12 Connie Mack's, 10 Al Simmons...), or maybe even take on the persona of a girl or two, and the same twelve or so people would go on and on, thank you very much, one letter after another. All for the sake of stealing what could not be stolen without charges being filed: The signatory parts of the accumulated history of an entire baseball league.
Will Harridge and Mary died peacefully at age 87 in Evanston, Illinois, surrounded by family and autograph collectors. They were interred aboveground where the crows could get to them in Memorial Park in Skokie, Illinois.
American League Championship Trophy[edit]
The American League Championship trophy is named the William Harridge Trophy in honor of his secretary, Mary.

A Mount Vernon basketball standout is taking his talents to Virginia after signing his National Letter of Intent to play ball for George Mason University next year.
Surrounded by friends, family, former coaches and teammates, Jason Douglas-Stanley ended his recruitment and made it official that he'll be playing for coach Dave Paulsen and the Patriots.
During his three years playing for the Knights, the 6-foot-2 shooting guard has averaged 20 points, five assists and three rebounds per game. He also led Mount Vernon to a state championship last year.
Douglas-Stanley said that he chose George Mason because he "felt it was the best situation for him on and off the court." He added that he believes he can slot in right away and lead the team as a top scoring option.
"This was unbelievable," he said when signing his letter. "I just want to thank everyone for coming out and offering me so much love and support."
Longtime Mount Vernon coach Bob Cimmino said that sending his star guard off to a Division I program ranked right up there with the magical 2017 championship run.
"This is a very special day for all of us," he said. "It's right up here with winning the state championship, when you have one of your players be so successful.
"This is the one time I say that it's okay to see your mother cry in the community room of Mount Vernon High School, when you earn a scholarship."
Mount Vernon Superintendent Kenneth Hamilton - who recently had his contract extended - said that this is just the latest instance that shows the school district is one on the rise.
"Each time one of our students is acknowledged in the way that Jason is, it is an affirmation about a couple of things," he said. "One is that our mission to make sure we are reaching children on a one on one basis and connect them to the kinds of supports and services they need in order to reach their full potential. It confirms that for me.
"The other thing that it does is it gives us hope. Not everyone is going to be in Jason's position, but what does it say that through hard work and dedication and consistency and making choices that are aligned with the fiber of who you are and what you represent as a family unit and how you not stray so far away from the structure that your parents have established for you, because at the end of the day, all parents want their kids to be successful."

Justin Bieber Shows His Behind on Instagram
Beliebers, are you ready to feast your eyes on a little bit of Bieber behind? Of Bieber butt? Of Bieber backside? Of Bieber buns? Of Bieber booty?
We could do this all day, but we'll stop there.
He may have deleted the original picture, but everything stays alive on the Internet. Nothing ever dies online, like this picture of Justin Bieber showing his behind and mooning the camera, which he accidentally shared via Instagram.
See, even dudes who are pop stars can have wardrobe malfunctions.
The Biebs' is wearing his standard issue and familiar uniform of a black tank, a baseball cap and sunglasses when his pants drooped and the crack of his bum showed itself. We've edited it a bit, since do you really want to see all over Biebs' butt crack? Wait, don't answer that.
His manager Scooter Braun joked that it was a prank on Twitter. "As a prankster u have to respect another good prank. only makes sense. #crackdealer," he wrote. But was that just Braun enacting a little spin to protect his client? That very well could be the case.
Hey Biebs, you need either a tighter belt or better-fitting pants, kiddo!

Jay Gruden introduced as head coach of Redskins | News
ASHBURN, Va. (WUSA9) -- The Washington Redskins introduced Jay Gruden as the franchise's new head coach Thursday afternoon.
General Manager Bruce Allen said the team was searching for "someone who had the fire in his belly to lead" and fortunately the San Diego Chargers beat Gruden's Cincinnati Bengals, allowing the new head coach to become available.
Gruden said his relationship with Allen and and a number of remaining coaches from former coach Mike Shanahan's staff contributed to his interest in the job.
The distractions and drama surrounding Redskins Park this season are something Gruden said he was aware of but did not follow closely.
"All the players want to forget about last year and move forward," Gruden said.
"We let the past be the past and move forward and try to build a trust factor from day one between the coaches, players and ownership," Gruden said later in an interview with WUSA9.
The new head coach has not yet had an opportunity to speak with quarterback Robert Griffin III, something Gruden said he's looking forward to doing.
"I see every trait a quarterback has to have to be successful," Gruden said of Griffin. "Why wouldn't you want to coach a player like that?"
In addition to Griffin, Gruden was excited about the core group of players in Washington. The evaluation process will begin immediately, he said.
Gruden told WUSA9's Dave Owens that he was looking forward to working with all 53 players to make 2014 a successful a debut campaign.
"I will do my best to make sure I put a competitive team on the field every single day," Gruden said.
While Allen will have final say on personnel, Gruden said he expects to be involved in the process and call plays on offense. No decisions have been made regarding any assistant coaches, Gruden said.

Darien rolls past Ludlowe
If there were any FCIAC footbal teams on upset alert over the course of Week 1 action, Darien certainly was not one of those teams.
The Blue Wave scored touchdowns on their first four possessions and led from coast-to-coast at Fairfield Ludlowe High School to cruise past the Falcons 41-7.
"It's a veteran group," Trifone said. "The thing that impressed me the most tonight was the defensive pursuit. They did a great job flying to the ball."
After the Darien defense forced a three-and-out to start the game, its offense needed only three plays to go 53 yards for a 7-0 lead, as Ian Vanderhorn ran a reverse 33 yards to pay dirt.
Darien's Brian Wiegard killed Ludlowe's next possession with an interception, and Jay Harrison scored on a 15-yard touchdown run for the 14-0 lead.
Darien's next two possessions resulted in a pair of scoring strikes from Henry Baldwin to Nick Lombardo from 55 and 33 yards out, respectively. The latter was the final play of the first quarter and resulted in a commanding 28-0 lead for the Blue Wave.
"Coming out 28-0, you can't ask for anything more than that," said Baldwin, who went 10-for-23 for 269 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. "We ran the ball great. We have a great stable of running backs. Nick was awesome. He's got wheels and I don't think anyone can catch him."
With 25 seconds remaining in the half, Baldwin found Lombardo for a third time on a 63-yard bomb to make the score 34-0 at halftime.
Though opening night didn't go as they would have wanted, the Falcons managed to get on the board on a 31-yard touchdown pass from Matthew White to Victor D'Ascenzo to close it to 34-7.
However, Darien's Ian Vanderhorn returned the ensuing kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown to close out the scoring at 41-7.
"We've got a lot of work to do. There's a lot of things we need to fix," Ludlowe coach Matt McCloskey said. "(The scoring drive) is a confidence builder, and we kept them out of the end zone a few times in the second half when they still had their starters in."
Darien erred on the side of caution by holding running back Peter Gesualdi out of the game, who turned an ankle two weeks ago.
Although pleased with his team's overall performance, Trifone would like to see his team correct what few mistakes it made, including three fumbles on punt returns, one of which was recovered by Ludlowe.
"I thought we were sloppy at times, especially in the second half. It's to be expected some times with high school kids when you're up 34-0 at the half," Trifone said.
Darien 41, Ludlowe 7
D--Ian Vanderhorn, 33 run (Daly Hebert kick)
D-- Jay Harrison, 15 run (Hebert kick)
D--Nick Lombardo, 55 pass from Henry Baldwin (Hebert kick)
D--Lombardo, 33 pass from Baldwin (Hebert kick)
D--Lombardo, 63 pass from Baldwin (PAT blocked)
FL--Victor D'Ascenzo, 31 pass from Matthew White (D'Ascenzo kick)
D--Vanderhorn 91 kick return touchdown (Hebert kick)
Records: Darien 1-0; Fairfield Ludlowe 0-1

Dunbar Scores Lone Yale Goal
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Yale women's ice hockey team entered Saturday night's game at Brown knowing that a win would provide enough points in the ECAC Hockey standings for sole possession of the conference's eighth and final playoff spot. Facing the Bears for the second time in three nights on the heels of a 3-2 win at Ingalls Rink Thursday, the Bulldogs once again found themselves in the midst of a tight game after junior forward Ashley Dunbar's first period goal pulled Yale within 2-1 after two early Brown goals. But despite outshooting the Bears 9-3 in the final period, Yale could not get the equalizer. The Bears held on for the 2-1 win, moving one point ahead of Yale to tie Princeton for eighth in the standings.
This was the fifth one-goal loss in conference play for Yale (3-15-1, 2-9-1 ECAC Hockey), and it all resulted from one rough stretch of 18 seconds early on. Right after forward Janice Yang scored at 5:37 of the first to give Brown a 1-0 lead, forward Monica Massucci scored to make it 2-0.
The Bulldogs shut Brown out for the final 54:05 as sophomore goalie Jaimie Leonoff finished with 16 saves. Dunbar's tally at 17:35 of the first period, her first goal of the season, was assisted by sophomore forward Stephanie Mock and senior defenseman Jamie Gray.
Brown (4-12-1, 3-9-0 ECAC Hockey) killed off all five Yale power plays, including three in the third period. Bears goalie Katie Jamieson finished with 27 saves.
Yale hosts No. 4 Cornell next Friday as the start of Alumnae Weekend at Ingalls Rink. The game on Saturday vs. Colgate at 4:00 p.m. is the annual "White Out for Mandi".

Students to apply venerable materials for modern designs in contest sponsored by masonry contractors and bricklayers union
"It is important that you honor the material that you use," architect Louis Kahn said in a 1971 talk to students at the University of Pennsylvania. Third-year students in City College's Spitzer School of Architecture this semester will honor brick, the material Kahn used to make his point.
The students will take part in an innovative competition sponsored by the Associated Brick Mason Contractors of Greater New York, Inc. and the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, Local 1.
Working in teams of two, some 50 undergraduate students in the third-year class will participate in a four-week project to design a meditation space for an open area adjacent to the French Evangelical Church, which is located on W. 16th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in Manhattan.
The five best designs will earn prizes of $2,000 and be exhibited in the Spitzer School's Atrium Gallery.
On the afternoon of February 6, the program will go beyond the drawing board when the students visit the Bricklayers' Training Center for "hands-on" construction experience. The center is located at 12-07 44th Avenue, in Long Island City.
"The visit will give our students an opportunity to appreciate what they draw in two-dimensions by realizing it in three-dimensions," said Professor of Architecture Christian Volkmann, who coordinates the third-year studio. "The competition is also an opportunity to make connections between the planning and building disciplines, which is very advantageous to our students' development."
"As building materials, brick and masonry are well suited to urban areas like New York because they fit in well, contextually, with existing buildings," explained Brian Blesi, executive director of the Associated Brick Mason Contractors of Greater New York, Inc. "By having an opportunity to be creative with them, we hope that Spitzer School of Architecture students will come to appreciate their application to modern design."

text: Share: Comments Print November 13, 2013 at 10:00 AM Blast damages prosecutor's office in Medford, Ore. Posted by John de Leon The Associated Press MEDFORD, Ore. — An explosive device that went off before dawn Wednesday and damaged the Jackson County prosecutor's office in Medford, Ore., appeared to be a failed attempt to level the building, a police spokesman said. The device shattered windows and damaged mainly the exterior of the building, said Lt. Mike Budreau of the Medford police. Nobody was hurt. "I think that it's safe to assume that had this bomb went off as it was intended to, it would have most likely destroyed most of the building, and we believe that was the intent of the suspect," Budreau told the Medford Mail Tribune. Budreau said the device included what appeared to be a propane tank that was found burning in front of the district attorney's office after the explosion was reported about 4:30 a.m. The device didn't fully detonate, he said, leaving the tank as a valuable clue for investigators. "But it did catch fire and emitted a large flame until it eventually burned out," he said. Budreau says police are searching for a man who ran from an officer several blocks away. "We're not sure if that is going to be related to this case or if it's going to be unrelated," he said. The resulting fire from the blast did not spread to nearby buildings. The office is part of a cluster of government offices in downtown Medford. Police cleared a large area around the office out of fears there might be other explosive devices, but tightened the closed area after none was found. The district attorney's office was closed for the morning. Comments | More in The Blotter | Topics: explosion, Medford

An inside look at our dream house.
Most people, if they're moving to a town that they know nothing about for a tenure-track job that guarantees only seven years of employment, will start off by renting a house. That's the practical, rational, forward-thinking thing to do.
But then, if you're moving cross-country with three children under the age of four, you've obviously left rational, practical, and forward-thinking in the dust a ways back.
This is the story of the house we bought when we moved to Vermont.
It was our first experience buying a house. My husband and I left our two oldest daughters in California with their grandparents, and flew across the country with our month-old baby for a three-day house-hunting bonanza.
Our realtor was the warm and wonderful Ingrid Punderson Jackson, who cleared her schedule for three days to show us ELEVEN houses in the greater Middlebury area. By the end of those three days, we'd found it.
Our new house had The Magic, of course — I may even, in a sentimental moment, have called it "my dream house." It sat at the foot of the Green Mountains, surrounded by rocks and trees; an "authentic" Vermont setting in keeping with the words of a local real estate agent who told some friends of ours, "You don't move to Vermont to live in a suburban subdivision."
Of course, there were also practical features that sold us on the house. It was large enough to contain our family of five, with ample room for playing indoors and out. It was an easy driving distance from my husband's office. And, perhaps most important: it was the ONLY house we looked at that wouldn't need major, immediate repairs. With a new baby, new job, new state, new everything, we weren't in the position to deal with a fixer-upper.
You know where this is going, don't you?
Within days of moving into our dream house, I felt like we were living in our own version of the popular children's book If You Give A Mouse a Cookie. The premise of this book is: if you give a mouse a cookie, chances are he's going to want a glass of milk to go with it ... and before long, offering that mouse one simple cookie has resulted in chaos.
Here's how our version, "If You Buy A House In Vermont," played out:
If you buy a house in Vermont, chances are that on the first night you'll hear bumps and scratching pitter-patter of little feet that don't belong to your daughters. You'll find mice droppings everywhere and wonder why you're surprised, since you do, in fact, live in the woods. You deem it prudent to call a pest-control expert.
The pest-control expert will note your roof, which is covered by cedar shingles: mossy, 22-year-old cedar shingles that passed inspection, but which you did expect to replace ... in 5 years or so. Apparently, rodents fail to see any distinction between your roof and a tree.
If you buy a house with cedar shingles in Vermont, chances are you will also begin to notice signs of past leaks — signs that you'd failed to notice when you fell in love with your "dream house," like water stains on the ceiling. You deem it prudent to call in some roofers for their opinion. Six different roofers will tell you that your roof needs to be replaced immediately, before winter sets in.
The contractor you hire to replace your roof will find 4 mice nests, one red squirrel nest, and a family of bats. Which does explain the bumps in the night.
He will also point out that your house needs a complete exterior paint job in the spring.
If you buy a house in the woods in Vermont, chances are you won't be close enough to town to have access to municipal water or sewer. This means that you have a septic tank under your yard, the functionality of which will keep your husband awake nights. Your water comes from a well 150 feet underground, operated by an electric pump. You will lose electricity for 12 hours during the first summer thunderstorm, and quickly realize that no electricity means no water. No water, with three young children, is not a good thing. You hear stories of neighbors losing electricity for over a week. You also hear the hum of your neighbors' generators.
You deem it prudent to buy a generator.
If you buy a house in Vermont, chances are it will soon get cold outside. You will want to heat your house. Because you live in small town Vermont, natural gas is not an option; they don't run the pipes through here. Your heat is "forced hot water," which runs off of fuel oil. Once a month, a big fuel truck pulls into your driveway and fills up the fuel tank in your basement. It costs $1,000 to fill the entire tank; to keep the inside temperature at 61 degrees requires half a tank per month. You do the math.
After a series of nauseating fuel bills, you begin to notice the smoke from your neighbors' wood stoves. You talk to friends who heat their homes with wood stoves, which turns out to be just about everyone you know. When questioned, these people speak about their wood stoves with the type of love usually reserved for pets. They all swear that wood stoves allow them to entirely or significantly reduce their dependence on fuel oil.
You deem it prudent to buy a wood stove.
If you buy a wood stove for your house in Vermont, chances are you're going to need some wood to go with it: about 5 cords worth, in order to get through a typical winter. And if you buy 5 cords worth of wood, you're going to need a woodshed to store it in — a BIG woodshed.
If you buy a house in Vermont, when spring rolls around again, you'll recall that you need a complete exterior paint job. The contractor you hire to paint your house will do a wonderful job. In the process, he'll find that the plywood underneath the siding along one side of the house has rotted out. As he replaces the side of your house, he'll also find a colony of carpenter ants, and faulty electrical wiring.
And so it goes.
We still love our house in Vermont. It's still my dream house, but the dream is a bizarre one, in which nothing quite makes sense, and you learn to be grateful for "good enough," and you chuckle and shrug at the latest catastrophe. Houses, like people, begin breaking down the moment they're built. But in the spaces created by our home's decaying surfaces, we are warm and dry, there's lots of love and play, and anytime I pass a window I see the woods.

we had to build this.........
Let's rewind shall we?
So the cute pooch is just that....an amazingly cute pooch named "Chrissy" although we will probably re-name her because I am not vibing on Chrissy.....I think Frankie suits her more. Anyways back to the fence...the adoption agency will not let us have her until we secure our perimeter....and rightly so. We have coyotes in these parts and she has to be safe.
Please email me if you want the real "how to version". We were toally inspired by the brick house and there sweet fence building skills!
We started by purchasing some really expensive clear A redwood...only to realize we wasted money on this fancy brand of wood and that the Home Depot version of their redwood dog ear planks would work just peachy! All we did was lop off the lame dog ear and flip the planks to be horizontal. First we had to rip all of the previous owners crappy landscaping out
before carnage
after carnage
Then after various stages of watching my sweaty husband work away as I sipped NyQuil in the corner shit started to come together!
Whilst he was heaving and ho-ing away, I managed to make my way to Home goods to infect all I came in contact with.....and buy some pots.
Quick DIY
White one ....on sale...painted it black...end of...12 bucks
I planted some succulents that I purchased at Home Depot. We put some pea gravel to cover the dirt.... This crap is only 5 bones a bag so...it worked
Finished Fence.......Now we just have one more 25 foot side to go and the Puppy will be OURS!!!

Oct. 27, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT sent Leslie Hansen, Anastasia Vishnevetsky, Melissa Diskin, Anisa McCree, Alex Hall, Jen Rees, Yi Wang, and Karina Pikhart to compete at the NEWITT Tournament which featured a revamped format this year. Participating as pairs, the duos played a doubles match followed by two singles matches, receiving one point for each victory for a maximum total of three points. In flight "A" No. 3 seeded Hansen and Vishnevetsky advanced to the semifinals while Wang and Pikhart captured the flight "B" second round consolation crown.

This is such a simple and pretty spring salad. I won't pretend this salad is anything new or revolutionary – let's be honest, we've all seen spinach and strawberry salads before – but I think the simplicity of this salad is what I love most about it. It's chock-full of gorgeous spring produce – strawberries, spinach, fennel, radishes, and snap peas – and the veggies are perfectly complemented by a bright and balanced homemade lime and poppy-seed vinaigrette.
This is one of those recipes that can easily be changed and adapted, depending on what you have on hand (or what you're in the mood for). You could substitute lettuce, kale, arugula, or any other type of leafy green for spinach in this salad and it would be equally delicious. Or, try using pecans or hazelnuts instead of almonds. Whatever the case, you can't go wrong with the combination of ripe strawberries, spring veggies, goat cheese, and a sweet and tangy vinaigrette.
- Several handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 3/4 cup sugar snap peas
- 1/2 fennel bulb
- 3-4 french breakfast radishes
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds
- Crumbled goat cheese
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- Squeeze of fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
- Pinch of yellow mustard powder
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Wash and pat dry the fruits and vegetables. Remove strawberry tops and slice into halves or quarters. Slice the snap peas thinly, at an angle. Using a mandoline, shave the fennel bulb and radishes into thin slices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients – oils, vinegar, lime juice, poppy seeds, and spices.
- Gently toss the spinach with the strawberries, snap peas, fennel, and radishes. Toss with poppyseed vinaigrette, to coat. Sprinkle chopped almonds and goat cheese crumbles atop the salad. Sprinkle a few fennel fronds on the salad, if desired. Add an extra dash of black pepper, for an extra kick.

U.S. stocks have had a solid run this year so far, but domestic investors are overwhelmingly choosing overseas assets.
A report from TrimTabs Investment Research shows that global equity funds have received almost seven times as much money than their U.S. equivalents. In numbers, that's "only" $12.6 billion for U.S. equity mutual funds and ETFs, while global funds have scored $84.3 billion. And in July, the U.S. stock funds have even shed around $400 million daily so far.
"The combination of highly disproportionate inflows into global equity funds and their less than stellar performance should be a red flag for contrarians," said David Santschi, chief executive at TrimTabs, in the report. "We advise investors to favor U.S. equities over non-U.S. equities now."
The reluctance toward home-turf equity funds is occurring even though the average global equity fund has barely exceeded U.S. markets. The worldwide investments have gone up by an average of 5.1%, compared with a 4.2% for the U.S. funds. Santschi added:
"Fund investors are as convinced as ever that the grass is greener overseas."
Last year, global funds also outperformed the Americans, although by a smaller margin. U.S. equity funds and ETFs received a total $150.5 billion, while global funds raked in $193.1 billion.

Rihanna Hooks Up With New York Knicks Star
Sounds like Rihanna has a new "rude boy" in her life. Rumors are spreading like wildfire that the 'Where Have You Been' singer has been getting hot and heavy with New York Knicks player JR Smith.
The Boombox reports that RiRi has been engaging in quite a bit of PDA with the Knicks' bad boy. A spy told InTouch that the pair hung out at New York City's Veranda nightclub and dished, "They were very flirty in the club all night and holding hands. She was sitting on his lap and was really into him." Ow ow!
Smith is one of the most controversial players on the New York team and is frequently in trouble — which seems to be just Rihanna's type, however unfortunate that may be. Smith, who has two kids, plead guilty to a reckless driving charge in 2009 (the same year Rihanna was dealt blows from her bad boy ex, Chris Brown), earning himself a month in jail, 500 days of community service and a seven-game suspension from the NBA. Further adding to his dangerous appeal? Smith was fined $25,000 for tweeting a photo of a thong-clad model in his bed — and later shut down his old Twitter account after rumors spread that he wrote in the same style as the Los Angeles-based Bloods gang. Sounds like a winner to us!
We bet mentor and Brooklyn Nets co-owner Jay-Z won't be too pleased about RiRi's new romance — though he's probably just relieved that she's not with Breezy!

Not lacking in quantity or quality of nominations, the 2010 Employee Service Award recipients share one additional characteristic. According to their respective nominators, they're also representative of one of the university's core tenets — cura personalis. Their caring and concern for others helped them rise to the top in consideration for this year's awards.
"In her work with insurance claims for Risk Management, she's pleasant, patient and informative in dealing with university employees in stressful situations because of their illness or injury," said a nominator. "She embodies the university spirit in the way she treats others."
"I've enjoyed working with all the different people inside and outside the university," said Pawlik. "That's what's kept me there — being able to help all different people."
"Marcia isn't only deserving of this award because of her tenure at Marquette, but because of the way she has allowed others to grow as a result of her friendliness and warmth," said another nominator.
"When students embark on the 17-month executive MBA program in August, the program holds a farewell dinner with spouses and family members," said a nominator. "The fact that she recognizes the support of spouses and children exemplifies cura personalis."
"I really enjoy the contact with so many different people from so many different walks of life," said Simmons. "We have engineers, physicians, English majors, communication majors, lawyers, business majors — of course — and everyone in between. Some are just out of college and others are on their encore career. They are all looking to advance their knowledge, skills and careers. It is great to be a part of that."
In a broad sense, her job is to connect or reconnect School of Dentistry alumni and dental professionals in general to the dental school, coordinating continuing education programming, reunions, receptions and other alumni events.
"I believe we can train people to do a job, but we cannot train them to care, and for me that is what really sets Carol apart from others — her caring spirit," said a nominator. "She is an outstanding individual dedicated to improving the Marquette environment as demonstrated over and over again in her 20-plus years at Marquette."
"Sandra's creativity to continuously develop the imagination of our children is priceless," said a nominator. "I think she instills values into children just as every parent would do with their own. I highly trust Sandra with the well-being of my own children, and most parents would agree this is a 'status' that is earned."
"I love exploring old and new things with the children and watching them take flight as they learn a new skill," said Wicker. "I enjoy seeing kids get excited about turning four because they know soon they will be able to come to my room at the center."

In this offbeat sci-fi-drama, Rosetta Stone (Tilda Swinton) is a scientist specializing in biogenetics who has made a major breakthrough in artificial biological engineering. Rosetta has created a type of Self-Replicating Automaton, which looks like a human being, but is in fact part machine and part living organism. In order to survive and reproduce, Rosetta discovers her SRAs need certain human genetic compounds that are found only in male semen. Hoping to kill two birds with one stone, Rosetta programs one of her SRAs, Ruby (also played by Swinton) to seduce men Rosetta has found through a website offering paid "fantasy dates," which will provide both needed materials and ready cash. Ruby brings back used condoms, and shares the contents with her fellow SRAs Marine and Olive (both also played by Swinton). However, after their assignations with Ruby, the men find themselves with a strange illness that leaves them with skin outbreaks and the inability to perform sexually. Two health investigators (James Urbaniak and Karen Black) begin interviewing the men infected, which sends them on a trail leading back to Rosetta and her research lab. Meanwhile, the more Ruby comes in contact with humans, the more she finds herself falling under the sway of human emotions, and she finds herself falling in love with Sandy (Jeremy Davies), a shy man working at a photocopying center. Shot on digital video equipment by acclaimed cinematographer Hiro Narita, Teknolust was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When you are absolutely "peaking" is to be at your prime in any activity.
This can be used to describe a person, event or group.
This can be used to describe a person, event or group.
by Sketz007 October 19, 2011
The time at which an ingested substance is at its highest possible concentration in the bloodstream. Used colloquially in the context of recreational drugs, most commonly psychedelics. When peaking, a psychedelic trip is usually at its most intense/powerful. The nature and duration of a peak varies by drug, user, and mindset at the time of tripping. Contrary to what some may say, it is not a term specific to any one particular drug.
Tripper A: "Dude... I..."
Tripper B: "What, man?"
Tripper A: "I'm... it's... lattitude."
Tripper B: "He's peaking hard."

the result of ingesting copious amounts of MDMA.Deffinately the more social of drugs , MDMA can make the most shy annoying people seem interesting.. ofcourse only to other people peaking.Effects include a sensation of "floating" , as though you weigh nothing and your legs seem to glide rather than stride.Thus being able to dance hours on end.Everyone talks to you and you talk to anyone about anything and somehow it all seems to be the most indepth conversation about cornflakes you have ever had and it is sure to change the rest of your life

the most intense part of an LSD trip, usually lasting for about an hour, in which "ordinary reality" becomes interwoven with the private pschedelic perceptions of the tripper.
"If you think this is weird now, wait 'til we start PEAKING!"

Peaking is when someone usually a guy, has sex with 5 or more women at once. Once he has finished and came all over them, he promptly blows his brains out all over them because his life will never be any better.

|My new iPhone 4S with lime-green bumper guard
I'm going to have fun trying out the new SIRI capabilities on the iPhone 4S and am super excited about it! Since I'm upgrading from a 3GS to the 4S there are lots of new features for me.
Like Facetime. A front facing camera... and I'm sure much more.
To add to this day of pleasure, my new computer arrived this morning and my local tech guy came and spent 3 hours setting it up, adding a different more powerful router, re-doing my network system and making sure all my networked computers and devices were co-operating with one another.
Now it's up to me to learn Windows 7 - my new OS! Hmmm which to tackle first? My iPhone or my new computer. Oh sheesh it's a no-brainer - my iPhone 4S of course! Please send coffee and donuts if I don't surface by supper time.....

DETROIT - A 5-foot-long alligator has been found dumped on Detroit's east side.
While neighbors in the area say they are used to people dumping garbage along their street, they saw someone throw something out of a truck Thursday night that they never expected to find.
"A black truck pulled up, they got out and I thought they was dumping a body," said Shontez Gibson, who helped rescue the exotic animal. "So, I told my uncle. My uncle said, 'Come on, let's go see.' My uncle chased the truck up the street and they stopped, so my uncle ran back. And when we got back in the field I said, 'No, it's an alligator.'"
Gibson placed the alligator in its own room with a space heater to help warm it up. He said he fed it fish.
"So, he said, 'Pick it up,' I said, 'No, you pick it up!" Gibson said. "He said, 'Alright, come on, let's take it in the house.' I pick it up, take it in the house. He was scared and ran."
Gibson called police on Friday and the Michigan Humane Society went to take the toothy animal off their hands.
The alligator has a new home at the Michigan Humane Society in Rochester Hills which has facilities to handle exotic animals.

- Create a shopping list by searching for grocery items or by scanning in barcodes
- Choose the quantity to purchase
- Choose the items unit of measurement (grams, litres, cans, bottles etc)
- Input prices against grocery items
- Add the items to a cart
- Total the items
You could extend this activity by getting students to use the Popplet App to brainstorm about things to consider when making a shopping list, such as essential items, costs, specials, seasonal food etc. The teacher could create a shopping situation where students have a budget to spend at the shops and need to purchase certain items. Students could use grocery shop websites via the iPad or printed brochures to get prices for items.
For Primary to Secondary students a great free App is Sketchpad Explorer.
"Drag, manipulate and animate visual mathematical representations to develop your understanding of fundamental concepts across elementary mathematics, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and beyond. Based on the award-winning software The Geometer's Sketchpad®, the Sketchpad Explorer app allows you to interact with, and investigate, any mathematical document created in Sketchpad. With a simple, powerful, multitouch interface, Sketchpad Explorer puts mathematics comprehension literally at your fingertips."
With access to already created resources for this App via the Sketchpad Explorer website on the 'Sketch Exchange' page this is a really useful App for our students. Additionally many of the Sketch Exchange resources are licensed under Creative Commons attribution license meaning that teachers can freely share the resources across class sets of iPads as long as they attribute the resource author. When you access any of the Sketch Exchange resources via the iPad you can easily download the files straight into the Sketchpad Explorer App. I've been using the Ten Frames activity by Daniel Scher to use the virtual counters to explore understanding of number patterns.
Another Maths App being recommended by our educators is 1 2 3 sheep *($2.99). Students can use this App to explore counting concepts in a variety of ways.
This App has been developed by App-titude Learning who are also offering reasonable cost licence plans for schools to use this and other Apps developed by them for all the students in your school.
Our maths educators at their Numeracy Now Ning recommend a range of Maths Apps. One in particular is the series of Hands-on Math Apps ($1.99 each) saying they would complement others hands on resources in the classroom 'especially good for students ready to move from concrete towards pictorial.'
The Hands-On Math Apps you can buy are:
- Colour Tiles
- Hundreds Chart
- Number Sense
- Bean Sticks
- Base Ten Blocks
Mark Gleeson has a great blog Mr G online which has a section on iPads and Maths activities. Read 'The iPad and Maths - are we there yet? Pt 2 (non maths Apps do the job?)" for a range of great non Math Apps and ideas to use them in Maths activities.
- Greg Swanson at his informative Apps in Education blog has an extensive list of Maths Apps.
- TeachwithyouriPad has a list of Math Apps with very useful, inciteful reviews.
- Appitic also has an extensive list of Maths Apps in its themes section.
Other simple Maths ideas with the iPad
Use the camera feature to get students to see the Maths shapes and concepts in the world around them, they can take the photos using the iPad camera and then use other Apps to make labels, take measurements, include in a video or an online tutorial creation App like Educreations.
