Two heavy hitters in the Republican Party — possible 2016 presidential contenders Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Marco Rubio — reportedly are concocting an Obamacare alternative, but neither of the two lawmakers are talking about it.
The Washington Examiner posted on its web site late Wednesday that Rubio, the Florida senator, and Ryan, the Wisconsin congressman, were collaborating on a proposal and could disclose their plan later this month.
The Examiner cited "Republican sources" in its story. Emails to the offices of both lawmakers had yet to be returned and neither man commented for the Examiner.
"I don't have anything to announce today," Rubio told the Examiner.
"Congressman Ryan continues working with his colleagues, including reformers like Sen. Rubio, on better solutions to deliver quality, affordable coverage to American families," Ryan spokesman William Allison told the paper.
Despite an invitation from President Obama to participate when the Affordable Care Act was passed four years ago, Congressional Republicans have yet to produce an alternative, though they have voted 55 times to repeal the controversial law.
An alternative plan from Ryan and Rubio could change the landscape for Republicans on the health-care front heading into the 2014 mid-term elections. If the GOP wins control of the Senate, Republicans could rally around a Ryan-Rubio plan — which might make it difficult for President Obama to ignore.

Washington State Patrol detectives are looking for a second commercial truck believed to have been on the Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River when a section of that bridge collapsed May 23, an agency spokesman said Tuesday.
Authorities have said a 160-foot bridge segment crumbled when a girder was struck by an oversize load on a truck. The truck made it off the bridge but two vehicles went into the water and three people were rescued. That truck driver stopped.
Detectives hope to talk to the driver of a commercial truck pulling a white trailer that's believed to have passed the oversize load in the left lane as the bridge collapsed, Trooper Mark Francis said.
Investigators don't believe the second truck damaged the bridge but do think the oversize load may have struck the top of the second rig, Francis said. Detectives working with the National Transportation Safety Board would like that second driver's perspective, the spokesman said.

"They're just trying to be as thorough as they can," he said. "They're looking at every single angle of this story and this is just another one of them."
Several witnesses have said there was another big rig there, Francis said.
Also, "it appears that when the oversize load struck the bridge it shifted to the left and struck something to the left," he said. Detectives think it may have hit the top right portion of the second truck.
If that second truck was heavily loaded, the driver might not have even felt the impact, Francis said.
Work is on track for the bridge to reopen in mid-month, the state Transportation Department said Monday.
The NTSB has not yet finished its site investigation, but a contractor has started assembling a temporary span that can be rolled into position to replace the collapsed section, DOT spokesman Travis Phelps said.
The Transportation Department plans a community meeting Thursday night in Burlington to update affected residents and businesses.

A skiing holiday is full of exciting terrain and getting around hills, but that doesn't usually involve being behind the wheel of a vehicle. Unless of course, you're driving one of the epic machines purpose-built for commercial grade snow management.
A tracked vehicle pulling a giant rake up a ski run is always exciting to see, and some outfits even employ smaller treaded rigs to take passengers to otherwise inaccessible drop-ins and lookouts.
What are some of the coolest ski machines you've seen or ridden in?

Remember folks, a desire for privacy is the same thing as admitting guilt!
Conditional federal funding wreaks havoc on the integrity of curricula, and federal funding of any kind--a.k.a. coercive subsidies--breaks the price system of any economy it touches. The removal of federal funding will push educational innovation in the right direction.
Sort of. While OSHW is usually patent-free, the specific main point is to actually provide the source designs, just like with open-source software. It isn't that you're just allowed to copy or improve it, you're actually encouraged to do so.
As someone who has suffered from a ridiculous IP litigation threat, I vote that they take the resources that will no longer need to be needed to determine which of the multiple filing parties was the first to invent and instead devote those resources to taking note of glaring prior art and obviousness, to immediately reject a much larger portion of patent applications.
That seems like it should be about as beneficial as anything else could be.
Because it wouldn't stop DRM, it would only make it more expensive, a cost increase that would surely be passed on to customers. A patent in the hands of a patent troll is absolutely worthless unless somebody infringes. Therefore, the best business model for a troll is to claim infringement on stuff that is (1) widely used and (2) considered too important not to have by those who use it.
A common argument for patents is that inventors won't invent unless they can protect their ideas. The problem with this argument is that patents apply even if the infringer came up with the idea independently.
I don't think I have ever seen such a simple and concise condemnation of patents before. Bravo.
1. Do I know what's in it?
1a. If no, can I find out what's in it?
1a(I). If no, STOP. The vote is NO.
You don't have to get very far down the list to know exactly what to do, at least if you have any integrity.
Anything that causes fans to take advantage of this clearly exploitative process must be illegal. Won't somebody think of the business models??
I wonder if Moore's Law implies that we may always have politicians so hopelessly behind the innovation curve that this kind of thing will keep happening. I certainly hope not.
Knowing that the current generation will one day be the political leaders ruling us is alarming in many ways, but at least they'll have some kind of working knowledge of basic computing technology. Yikes.
Internet, n: A series of tubes through which Xs and Os flow, mostly containing virus code, stolen intellectual property, and child pornography. (New Political Dictionary, 2nd Ed., 2012)
The criteria "if you're going to pull the strings you should put your name on it" needs a clear definition for "pull the strings" before I'd be willing to agree--that's a fair point. But there is a real difference between publishing under a pseudonym and publishing under someone else's name while pretending to be them.
If I say something--anything at all, positive, neutral, or negative--under a false name or no name, that's anonymity. But if I say the same thing while intentionally representing myself as a different, real entity whom I am clearly not, that's fraud.
In short: negotiate payment with customers before or during the completion of the work instead of demanding it afterwards, once you have a product that is infinitely reproducible at $0 marginal cost.
Also, sell value-added finite components that complement the infinite portion of your product.
...except that Canonical gives away all of the source code for their entire OS. If you don't like how they're doing it, you're completely free to fork the project. Try getting that kind of freedom from MS. Open-source doesn't necessarily mean "directed by users."
Disclaimer: I'm in the middle of actually doing this with another design. I haven't finished yet, but things look good and it seems like it's only a matter of time before I succeed if I play my cards right.
1. Use NDAs where appropriate early on.
2. Employ trade secrets as often as necessary during development.
3. Publish the design online (OSHW etc.).
4. Be the first to market and nail the quality and support aspect of the business.
5. Profit!
A published design is not patentable in any country (except in the US by the original designer up to a year after publication, as far as I know). This should prevent other people from patenting you out of your own competitive field. Being the first to market with a good product gives you a much better chance at real innovative success than a patent portfolio would.
Ideas are inherently unprotectable, whether or not they are ownable (which I believe they are not). There are a lot of smart people who can probably figure out exactly how your widget works very quickly and come up with a functionally similar design no matter how you try to protect it. There are vast resources in foreign countries that you can't hope to either control or compete with on scale and availability, so compete on time, quality, support, and branding instead. It might not be easy, but it sure is a lot less headache and psychological stress then trying to use IP laws in any way, shape, or form.
And yes, there is a possibility that someone like Raytheon or Halliburton really can do it better, faster, and cheaper than you can. But if that's true, then what right do you really have to stop them, really? Just because you thought of it first doesn't give you a fundamental right to any percentage of profits made from the idea or its derivatives. (I'm not saying you believe this, but it does seem to be the predominant mode of thinking among people today.)
I think one of the problems with your plan is that you are focused too much on money as currency, and not money as a form of power. I'll grant that money is power, because that is exactly what it is. When I have $5, I can command someone to make me a sandwich. If I have $100 I can command someone to make me a Kindle. If I have $1,000 I can command someone to make me a laptop, and so on.
Automated technology and abundant resources through sustainable resource management is how it works. You don't need money if you already have what you need through renewable and sustainable systems.
Since you don't need money, you don't need laws that protect the acquisition of it either (i.e. Trademark, copyright, patent). You also have no reason to trade, since everything you need is provided.
I think it is that most people don't know what money really is. Civilization did just fine before money came along. When the people needed food, they grew/hunted/gathered it. When people needed shelter, they built it. They didn't bother with money to do this, they just gathered the resources needed and did it. Money is just a tool for controlling access to resources.
If you need money, you are a slave to it because in a system that requires money, you can't get what you need unless you have it.
Your belief in the necessity for money is one of indoctrination. You've been told all of your life that money is necessary and you take it as fact.
Apes, dolphins, and other intelligent animals already live under a moneyless economy. They help themselves by helping each other to improve each other member's condition. It's a collaborative society versus a competitive one.
It was humans that realized they could put themselves ahead by exploiting the many that they could achieve even greater prosperity by using money as the control mechanism. The golden rule applies: "He who has the gold, makes the rules". Money allows people to concentrate that money and thus, consolidate power. So long as money is in use, people will attempt to leverage it to exploit the many and elevate themselves above the rest.
I agree that the rosy society you desire might be possible, except that your the condition that "people don't have to work to feed, clothe, shelter, and heal themselves" must apply universally to everyone, and we are very, very far from that point. As long as some human labor is required to provide the things that people need, you'll never get by without paying those people for the effort. The world does not and will never run entirely on altruism. If no work is required, ever, then maybe payments aren't necessary. But such a condition will never be met.
I'm very, very curious as to how you think a society would function without money.
I'm also curious (genuinely so) as to exactly how you would define each of those four things you propose getting rid of: trademarks, copyright, patents, and money. (Incidentally, I'm with you on copyright and patents, but not trademarks, and definitely not money.)
I think you are not identifying money for what it truly is. I'm not talking about government-backed fiat money, which is what we have and is a very large part of the problem. Real money is simply a tool which allows me to trade efficiently with you by making it so that we don't need to each have exactly what the other desires (known as the "double coincidence of wants"). That is all real money is. If you eliminate money, all you'll accomplish is to make trade more difficult.
"That, my friends, is how you carpe the hell out of the diem."
This just definitely became my favorite phrase of the week. Maybe even the month.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – For seniors Allie Canulli, Holly Gutterud, Lauren Huddleston, Kayla Kuretich and Ashley Sloan, it probably seems like only yesterday that they played their first games for the Bulldogs – 9-1 and 6-3 victories over Rider and Fairleigh Dickinson at the Rebel Games in Kissimmee, Fla., on Mar. 11, 2007. The five will hope for similar success in their last weekend when Yale plays a four-game series against Brown. The teams meet in Providence on Friday beginning at 2 p.m. and then come to New Haven on Saturday for a 12:30 p.m. doubleheader. Free audio of Saturday's games is available at wybcx.com/sports.
The Class of 2010 has been a part of nearly 75 victories and as juniors helped Yale to its best Ivy League finish since 2003.
Canulli has enjoyed an outstanding senior season after missing all of last year with an injury. She leads the team in batting (.321) and shares the team lead in RBI (16). In victories over Princeton and Sacred Heart, she knocked in three runs, and she has seven multi-hit games. As a sophomore, she tied for the team lead in home runs (2) and was third in RBI (16) while starting 38 games at third base. Her first career homer came in her freshman season against Marist. She also homered against Princeton that year.
Gutterud is a two-time All-Ivy selection. She returned this season after taking a year off to study abroad and has played key roles for the Bulldogs. As a pitcher she leads the Yale staff in earned run average (3.37) and shares the team-lead in wins (4). At the plate, she has had a number of big hits, including a two-run single in a victory over Columbia. In her sophomore year, she batted a team-best .405 in 13 Ivy League games and was 3-1 as a pitcher. As a freshman she led the pitching staff with three saves.
Huddleston has battled through injury to enjoy a successful senior season. She has started 24 games in right field, and in a victory over Marist, she homered and knocked in all three runs in a 3-0 victory. As a junior she was named a first team All-Ivy outfielder after leading the league with a .405 batting average, which was the fourth best in a single season in school history. She finished second on the team in hits (45), runs (27) and stolen bases (9). In her sophomore year she was an honorable mention All-Ivy selection, and as a rookie, she batted .333 in league games.
Kuretich has been a mainstay on the Yale pitching staff since the day she arrived in New Haven. Her 167 career strikeouts are the sixth most in school history. This season, she leads the pitching staff in strikeouts (68), innings pitched (93.1) and opponent batting average (.249). She was named the Ivy League pitcher of the week after taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning of a game against Marist. As a junior, she led the Bulldogs with three saves. As a sophomore, her 2.45 earned run average was the fifth best in the Ivy League. Her first career victory came against Manhattan in her rookie season.
Sloan has enjoyed an outstanding career. She enters her final games needing four hits to become Yale's all-time leader. In addition she is second all-time in career runs scored (114) and fifth in stolen bases (51). Her .335 career batting average is the fourth best in school history. In her four years, she has started 160 games in centerfield. She has earned All-Ivy recognition in each of her first three years. This season she leads the team in hits (38) and stolen bases (10). As a junior, she finished in the top-10 in the Ivy League in stolen bases, triples, runs and hits. In her sophomore year, she led the team in batting, hits and stolen bases. As a freshman, she was named a first team All-Ivy outfielder after leading the league in triples and stolen bases.
Brown (18-20, 5-11 Ivy) split a doubleheader with Dartmouth on Wednesday in Providence. Kristie Chin's solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning lifted the Bears to a 2-1 victory in the second game. Chin also was the winning pitcher. Brown is batting .269 as a team and has 22 home runs. Kate Strobel leads the way with 10 homers. Katie Rothamel leads the team in average (.374), hits (46), doubles (18) and RBI (26). Chin anchors the Brown pitching staff. She has a 12-4 overall record with a 2.03 earned run average. In 117 innings pitched, she has 90 strikeouts. Brown has three seniors who will be playing the last games of their careers - Amanda Asay, Andrea Browne and Rothamel.

Want a free, easy tip for reducing anxiety, depression and pain without medications? Try meditation.
New research finds that meditation may be equally as effective as antidepressants in helping to reduce anxiety, depression and pain, according to a review of studies published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Get discounts on prescriptions, health exams, eye care and more — AARP Member Advantages »
Researchers reviewed 47 randomized clinical trials with 3,515 participants and found that mindfulness meditation improved symptoms of depression by 10 to 20 percent and symptoms of anxiety by 5 to 10 percent. "This is fairly comparable to what other studies have found for antidepressants in similar populations," says study author Madhav Goyal, M.D., of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. And, he adds, meditation doesn't come with the side effects of medications.
The focus of mindfulness meditation is to pay attention to the present moment without worrying about the past or future.
For the study, the researchers combed through thousands of studies on meditation and chose only randomized controlled studies – the gold standard of medical research – for analysis. Goyal said scientists don't yet understand why meditation might reduce anxiety and depression but speculated "it could be that mindfulness programs teach individuals to reduce the way they react to negative emotions or symptoms." He added that "it was surprising to see that with so little training [2.5 hours a week over eight weeks] we were still seeing consistent effects."
This study builds on previous research that has showed that meditation can lower heart attack risk, reduce stress hormones, combat loneliness in older people, ease caregiver stress and protect the aging brain. This analysis found that meditation does not appear to help with substance abuse, sleep or weight loss.
Shelley Carson, Ph.D., a Harvard research psychologist and coauthor of Almost Depressed, said mindfulness meditation can be a powerful tool in dealing with symptoms of depression. "Mindfulness meditation is a way of spending time inside yourself nonjudgmentally," she said. "You are calming your inner self."

For those new to meditation, here are a few tips, from her book, on how to get started.
- Sit in an erect posture, either on a straight-backed chair or on the floor on a cushion.
- Allow the body to become still; just bring your attention to the fact that you are breathing.
- Breathe through your nose. Become aware of the movement of the breath as it comes in and out of your body. Do not try to change your breathing; just be aware of it.
- Observe your breathing deep in your belly, feeling the abdominal wall as it expands gently on the in-breath and as it falls back toward your spine on the out-breath.
- Allow yourself to be in the moment – not trying to do anything, not trying to get anyplace, simply being with your breathing.
Try to stay in this mode for at least five minutes. For more help, play or download free guided meditations from the UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center here.

FS-DOM.XX DF500 Domino
Great new ideas are hard to come by. The lever, wheel, fire - these are ideas that have been around for awhile and are hard to top. In the power tool industry, new ideas are really infrequent. So it's really exciting to be able to say that Festool has invented what might be the most important new tool since the cordless drill and the most important advance in woodworking joinery ever.
The Domino is the first hand-held machine that can precisely locate and mill well-fitting mortises for floating tenons. The mortise and tenon joint is the strongest way of joining a rail and stile, and a well-filling floating tenon has the same strength as a fixed tenon. But the precision aspect of the machine is as important as the fact it can machine a mortise quickly. It's as important to locate the mortises on both pieces of wood precisely and with speed. Unlike other mortising machinery, it can do this with no real layout and very accurate repeatability.
For a review of the Domino by Popular Woodworking:
Click here
How the Domino Works:
The Domino works using a rotating spiral cutter (of the thickness of the tenon) that moves back and forth in a swath, cutting the width of the tenon. You push the Domino forward to the depth set by a stop on the machine. There is no kickback. An integrated vacuum port makes it possible to easily attach an optional vacuum cleaner which will suck the chips away as they are generated, giving a clean hole with rapid feed and no mess.
The main reason the Domino works so well is that the results are repeatable. The machine has lots of built in stops, guides, and fences at allow you to do adapt to any situation to cut an accurate mortise, all of them easy to see and clamp down rock solid. There are retractable stop pins on the face of the tool so that you can index from an edge or a guide. The fence can solidly lock at any angle from 0 - 90 degrees, but it has stops at 0, 22.5, 45, 67,5, and 90 degrees for quickly setting the tool. A mortise height adjustment sets the distance of the cut from the top reference edge. There are 5 depth adjustments for tenons of different lengths. Of course, a clear viewing window with precise markings will let also layout a mortise from guide lines on the work.
One area where you might have questions is how to locate multiple mortises. The first pair of matching mortises must be precisely located on the work. However, with human error and wood movement, a snug fitting mortise may not align correctly in successive tenons. The Domino's solution is ingenious. With a single adjustment, you can make the mortise, fit tight to the tenon or allow for various amount of play.
Two very important accessories are the Trim Stop and the Cross Stop. The Trim stop is designed to hold narrow material between 7/8" - 2 3/4" so that you can easily put a mortise in the end of the material. This attachment is typically used for smaller rails. The Cross Stop is designed to let you easily space a series of mortises across a board. What you do is use the stop of the Domino to place the first mortise, and then use the Cross Stop to hook onto the just-made mortise to index the location to the next mortise. This gives you tremendous accuracy and saves having to lay out the mortise locations across the board. Mortise spacing can be adjusted from 3 7/8" - 8 1/16".
The Domino uses pre-made precision floating tenons made from beech. The tenons are ribbed so that glue does not get caught and will flow evenly in the joint. The tenons come in five thicknesses; 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm thick in a variety of lengths. The 4mm Domino is fairly short and recommended for 1/2" plywood only.
The Domino can be used with or without a vacuum. There is of course less mess with the vacuum, and it also lets you cut the mortise faster and more clearly. When done, the mortise will be clear and ready for glue up.
The basic package: a DF500Q Domino Tool with Trim and Cross Stops, packed in a Systainer 2 with a D5 cutter and Support Bracket. The kit is also available at a savings packed with any of the Festool vacuums.
The Cutter and Tenon Assortment:
The cutter and tenon assortment is a very useful accessory for when you get started. Packed in a compartmented Systainer, this kit contains the 5 main cutters (D4, D5, D6, D8, and D10) and an assortment of tenons: 4x20: 450 pieces, 5x30: 225 pieces, 6x40: 150 pieces, 8x40 :100 pieces, 8x50: 75 pieces, and 10x50: 60 pieces. Packages of refills of any single size of tenon are available, but it makes sense to start out with a good range of all the sizes so you can figure out what the Domino can do for you. But even down the road, having other sizes are available for special situations is a good idea and will help you get the most use out of your machine.

What a Good Guy And
Fund: Kepha Partners
Posted by Mike Murray on 2009-01-09
I cold-eMailed Jo Tango to see if Kepha would be interested in my deal. He took the time to read my Exec Summary and got back to me in a few hours with some questions, and then called me later that evening to tell me they would pass because they did not focus on consumer deals. This all took place in about a 6-hour time span. Is that a first? Most other VCs would just go dark. Jo is a real down-to-earth guy and a breath of fresh air from the VC world.PRIVATE: Members Only

Alice Harvey - Teaching, General Teaching Projects in Senegal
Alice was a teaching volunteer in Senegal, working at the Projects Abroad Summer School and spending most of her spare time helping out at the Talibé Centre for street children. Here she writes about the experience of arriving home in England after her placement:
'So you're back! Your doting mother has travelled through the night (a 90 mile trip which required almost as much preparation and timekeeping as your own little jaunt to Africa) to greet you with bleary eyes at International Arrivals and hand over the car keys for the drive home! At which point you hurl your filthy bulging rucksack, large, medium and small djembés (Senegalese drums) into the boot and try to work out which one was the accelerator and which was the brake again? Help!
It has been said that despite the initial shock of leaving your creature comforts for the rudimentary life in a developing country - the culture shock on coming home is far, far greater - and takes a good few months to recover from. Remember those first few days, the arrival in Dakar and your mind-boggling taxi trip round St Louis - afraid the mere sight of local food/water/air would bring you down in a haze of diarrhoea, vomiting and some kind of rare life threatening rash?
You used up your entire stash of Johnson's baby wipes during that 4hr sept-place journey wedged under a well-endowed African Mama's armpit.and you couldn't be further from the nearest Boots store if you tried. But then how quickly you adjusted to the less than speedy pace of St Louis life. By the end of week one, you no longer hankered for that power shower and 500g bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk - your host family's tailor had set you up with a sexy pair of pantalons, you had a genuine Senegalese name, Wolof was your native tongue and Thieboudienne your number one dish - you were a native god-damn-it and subsequently hugely offended when island touts had the audacity to perceive you as common toubab tourists!
Well upon your return, this culture shock hits you doubly - from the very instant you rock up those long bouncy flat escalator things sporting your gap-year 'I've just come back from travelling' garb complete with every set of ethnic looking beads you'd ever been given (mostly by doting third cousins of your host family who were all desperate to marry you).. For a start - no has asked you to marry them for at least 10 minutes!
Then the sheer enormity and civilisation of London and Heathrow blows you away - so much money passes hands without a thought every second, and you spend much of your time calculating how many Talibé breakfasts the cost of that scarf in Accessorize would buy. If you ever visited the Talibé centre, I advise that upon your return you avoid Toys'R'Us for a fair few weeks. The sight and sound of the immense tantrums as darling seven year old Chardonnay is refused Volleyball Barbie (with ball and net not included) at £39.99 would make your blood boil!!
Apart from greed and vast expense.the second most notable difference between the cultures has to be the social interaction - or lack of it! For many people in England, it would appear that to break into a smile would in fact hurt - and very possibly cause long term damage. If you are lucky enough to establish eye contact - smile at a stranger on the street, one of two things happen - a) they smile back and feel sorry for you, as clearly you are simple and have been let out on a day trip from St Mungos, or b) they hastily cross the road and run headlong into the nearest shop, for you are obviously insane and about to mug them!
This general suspicion and unfriendliness is so unlike the overpowering welcome and affability of the Senegalese, that you almost feel unwelcome in your own country. A trip to Safeway (which incidentally in your absence has mysteriously morphed into a yellow and black clad branch of Morrison's) is a nightmare for your mother.When not grumbling under your breath that in Senegal 'mangoes are half the price and certainly not cling wrapped' or that 'no one would dream of wasting £4.95 on a family sized box of teabags.what's wrong with twigs and sugar?' or 'a family of four could live for a year on what she spends on organically grown 'happy fruit and veg' each month' ..you're trying to persuade her of the benefits of Thieboudienne for Sunday lunch!
You always anticipate the shock of arriving in a new country and prepare yourself in advance; however the greater shock of return always seems to take me by surprise. I pray that the African way of life, their perspective of family, health and happiness as priorities, and the memories of each quirky individual never leave me - but should that ever happen - what better excuse to return!'

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's tennis team wrapped up the 2012 season on Saturday with a 5-2 to loss to Stetson on Senior Day at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center in Nashville.
"This match was all about the seniors," head coach Andrew Harris said. "To have Elizabeth Keevil finish her match off today against Stetson with a down the line backhand winner was simply poetic. I know that Danielle Hansen and Samantha Bowman have tremendous things in store for them in their next season of life. Unfortunately, on the court we were not able to get the production across the board that was needed to be successful in a match like this; however, this day is about the past four years and the direction this program is moving. Congratulations to our seniors."
Although it was senior day, at least in doubles play, the freshman took the lead for Lipscomb.
The Lady Bisons started off the match with two doubles losses, awarding the first point to Stetson.
Their lone doubles win came at the No. 1 spot, where freshmen Deahna Welcher and Jenny Borck easily took down Sara Lazarevic and MayaBlue MacDowell 8-1.
Seniors Elizabeth Keevil and Danielle Hasen fell at No. 2 to Diana Bukajeva and Jen Miller 8-3, while sophomore Alyssa Bellini and senior Samantha Bowman were defeated by Shannon Gunning and Lindsey Cable 8-2 at No. 3.
The Lady Bisons were only able to record two wins in singles play, one of which came from Keevil, who was able to post a win in her final collegiate match.
Keevil's win came at No. 4, where she defeated MacDowell 6-4, 6-3.
Welcher also posted a win for the Lady Bisons at the No. 2 spot, taking down Clarke Tatje 6-3, 6-2.
At No. 1, Bellini was defeated by Gunning 7-5, 6-1, while Borck fell at No. 3 to Bukajeva 6-3, 6-1.
Hansen was defeated at No. 5 by Cable, losing 6-3, 6-0, and Bowman fell 6-1, 6-1 to Miller at No. 6.
With the loss, the Lady Bisons finish their 2012 season with a 1-8 conference record.
1) Welcher/Borck vs. Lazaveric/MacDowell LU Won 8-1
2) Keevil/Hansen vs. Bukajeva/Miller SU Won 8-3
3) Bellini/Bowman vs. Gunning/Cable SU Won 8-2
1) Bellini vs. Gunning SU Won 7-5, 6-1
2) Welcher vs. Tatje LU Won 6-3, 6-2
3) Borck vs. Bukajeva SU Won 6-3, 6-1
4) Keevil vs. McDowell LU Won 6-4, 6-3
5) Hansen vs. Cable SU Won 6-3, 6-0
6) Bowman vs. Miller SU Won 6-1, 6-1

Shay and Tik Tak – Humane Society Pets of the Week!
My cat likes fresh water in his bowl every morning. It doesn't matter if he was just given fresh water at midnight, in the morning he wants new stuff, and preferably with ice in it. I didn't realize that so many pets enjoy ice in their water, but once he had it served that way he was hooked. I'll indulge him. He has me trained well. Some pets don't have a person to train, and that's where you come in.
The Humane Society shelters pets, gets them the care they need, gives them the love they're craving, and does their best to place them in permanent homes. Whether you're looking for a lazy dog who prefers a quiet walk to play, or a cat who chases toys, chances are the Humane Society will have your perfect match.
May I present our pets of the week. If you'd like to see them in person or get more information on these pets or any other pets that the Humane Society has, check them out online here or call 940-855-4941. They're located at 4360 Old Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls.
Shay is a medium size, adult, female Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) mix. She's just a couple of years old so she still has lots of energy, but she also understands the value of a warm lap and a relaxing evening. She warms up to people quickly and loves to play fetch as well as take walks. She's spayed, up-to-date on shots, heartworm tested and on preventative, and microchipped. Shay would love to meet you, so make plans to go see her soon!
Tik Tak
Tik Tak is a small, adult, short haired female cat. She's around two-years-old, so she doesn't get as crazy as some kittens do, but she still enjoys play time. She can be a little shy at first but she loves people and getting a good scratch. It's unclear at this time if she'll want ice in her water. She's spayed, up-to-date on shots, heartworm tested and on preventative, and microchipped. Tik Tak is looking for her forever home and yours might be a purrfect fit. Stop by today to meet her!

Extra retail hiring may signal banner holiday sales season
Staff reports
Retailers may hit, or even surpass, their holiday sales targets this year, aided in part by having more workers on their payrolls amid expectations for increased store traffic nationwide.
Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the outplacement and recruiting specialist, reported Monday that retailers added 465,500 seasonal workers in November, the most ever during what is typically the busiest hiring month of the holiday season, according to an analysis of non-seasonally adjusted data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The net gain in retail employment achieved last month barely surpassed the previous record set in 2007, when retail payrolls grew by 465,400 workers during the month of November.
November job gains were up 21 percent from the 383,700 seasonal workers hired by retailers a year ago. Furthermore, October job gains in the retail sector were adjusted upward to 145,200 from an originally reported figure of 130,100.
Retail employment has grown by a total of 610,700 in October and November. That is up 19 percent from 512,600 in the same two-month period a year ago, and just shy of the 660,200 seasonal workers added during the entire three-month holiday hiring period last year.
"Despite all of the uncertainty, all the talk of fiscal cliffs, the widespread damage to retail epicenters on the East Coast by Hurricane Sandy, and the continued growth of e-commerce, retailers are hiring holiday workers in record numbers," John A. Challenger, chief executive officer of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a statement. "Of course, more people working this holiday season could result in further retail sales gains as more Americans have more spending money in their pockets for gifts."
Last year, retail employment increased by 147,600 in December. Even if retailers simply match that level of hiring activity, seasonal hiring this year could reach nearly 760,000. If that occurs, it would the strongest retail holiday hiring season since 2000, when 788,100 seasonal workers were added to retail payrolls.


text: Crop Price Spikes Likely Amid Down Trend, Expert Says April 17, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Source: University of Missouri Extension With good weather in 2013 crop production could increase, pushing prices down. "I think corn and beans are going to ratchet lower," said University of Missouri Extension agricultural economist David Reinbott during the MU Spring Ag Marketing Conference. "However, I would say between now and next July or August we're probably going to get some opportunities to sell some crop with some spikes in prices, and if it does, I would be all over selling it, selling it hard," he said. The recent USDA crop report predicted 97.3 million acres of corn, down from the 99 million acres Reinbott projected in January. (View AgWeb.com's 2013 Corn Planting Map) "With the wet April and maybe even May, plus the snow and wet conditions in the Dakotas and upper Midwest, we might even lose another million or two," Reinbott said. USDA placed soybean acres at 77 million, which was below trade estimates, and 2 million less than Reinbott's January projection. "We could see some switching around, though," Reinbott said. "Some of these corn acres that don't get planted will go to soybeans, so it may go back up. Also, some of these wheat acres, especially spring wheat acres, could also go to soybeans." Ending stocks to use for corn are pretty tight, but Reinbott says the outlook is for a big crop that could push stocks up. Soybean ending stocks are also very tight, leading to a sideways trading range on the futures. Following last year's drought in South America, Brazil and Argentina have rebounded and are expecting large corn and soybean crops. Brazil is predicted to have a record corn crop, and both countries' export numbers are expected to be up. There haven't been any major changes in wheat production, although feed use has dropped. World and U.S. ending stocks are down, but Reinbott says there is an ample amount of wheat compared to the last few years. "We're still in that down-trending market," he said. "It's sort of like a broken record. I've said it for the corn market, the bean market and the wheat market. We're going to continue to trend lower." Back to news

In its 13 years defending free speech on colleges campuses nationwide, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), where I have worked since 2008, has won nearly 250 public victories on behalf of students and faculty. FIRE has been responsible for well over 100 reforms of unconstitutional and illiberal campus speech policies, with the total number of affected students reaching into the millions.
Needless to say, in all that time FIRE has seen certain types of violations committed over and over. Now, with the linens and seersucker put away and the new school year officially in business, I thought I would share with PolicyMic readers 10 of the most common types of free speech violations that we see throughout the year. In our estimation, these are the forms of rights violations that college students are most likely to see on their campuses this fall.
A couple of notes to begin:
First, these are by no means the only types of free speech violations we see on campus. A look at FIRE's case history shows the true extent of threats to free speech on campus, and the many ways they manifest themselves.
Second, speech code ratings of more than 400 universities around the country will provide you with a fuller appreciation of the many types of policies that infringe on the free speech rights of students.
Finally, most of my examples deal with cases at public universities, which are bound by the First Amendment. We've seen many of these same cases, however, at private universities — many of which, though not legally bound by the First Amendment, nonetheless make lofty promises of free speech to their students in their policies and materials.
Private institutions are bound by these promises, which courts in many states have interpreted as enforceable contracts. In California, private secular colleges are in fact required by law to afford students the same First Amendment rights they would have at any public university. Much herein, therefore, is every bit as applicable to Harvard and Yale as it is to UMass and UConn.
In no particular order, here are our first five. Be sure to come back tomorrow to read the rest!
1. Restrictions on Political Speech
Above: Students at Rice University campaign for Bush/Cheney '04.
Especially during election years such as this one, FIRE encounters universities that, in their quest to remain politically neutral as required by their non-profit status, bulldoze their students' and faculty members' First Amendment right to political expression.
This happened in 2008 at the University of Oklahoma, which prohibited students and faculty from using their university email accounts for partisan political expression, including "forwarding of political humor/commentary." Faculty and staff at the University of Illinois were prohibited from even such simple forms of political activity as wearing campaign buttons or placing bumper stickers on their vehicle.
Such abuses have prompted FIRE to issue a guiding statement on political activity on college campuses — recently updated for the 2012 elections — in the hopes of clarifying the legal principles involved.
2. Free Speech Zones
Above: A free speech gazebo at Texas Tech University.
If your college has one, odds are it's unconstitutional or violates promises of free speech. The reason is simple: While colleges have a legitimate interest in making sure that the exercise of free expression doesn't substantially interfere with institutional operations, they frequently go far, far beyond what is acceptable in terms of striking this balance.
Take the free speech zone at the University of Cincinnati, which limited expression to a tiny zone taking up just 0.1% of its 137-acre West Campus, and required as much as 15 business days' notice if students wanted to use it. On top of this, a UC student group was told its members could face arrest if they went outside the tiny zone while collecting signatures for a statewide ballot initiative.
FIRE has successfully overturned these restrictive policies at colleges across the country. As for Cincinnati's, it went down the way numerous zones have before it: in court.
3. Unconstitutional "Harassment" Policies
Above: While verbal abuse is unacceptable, so are some harassment policies.
While universities that accept federal funding — that is, virtually all universities, both public and private — are required to take action against genuine harassment on campus, countless institutions have stretched the legal definition of harassment to functionally include any speech that someone might find offensive, or that offends any of the politically-correct sensibilities that frequently hold sway over campus discourse.
Frequently forbidden by such policies (and thus subject to disciplinary action) are jokes, sexual references, and even anything that might "embarrass," "demean," or "harm" a student in any way. In Davis v. Monroe County Board of Education (1999), the Supreme Court set the bar for student-on-student harassment as conduct that is "so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively bars the victim's access to an educational opportunity or benefit." Despite this clear guidance and the fact that poorly-written policies have suffered numerous defeats in court, overbroad harassment policies may be the most common type of speech code FIRE encounters.
4. Viewpoint-Discriminatory Funding
Above: Colleges cannot discriminate against student organizations because of their views.
The Supreme Court has twice ruled that in distributing the mandatory student fees that typically fund student activities, universities may not discriminate against student organizations on the basis of their viewpoint. You'd think two rulings from the highest court would be enough, but plenty of universities (and the student governments entrusted with doling out funds) get it wrong anyway.
Sometimes they ban entire categories of expression, as Northern Illinois University's student government did when it brazenly tried to deny funding to all political and religious student organizations.
Sometimes, they simply don't like the message of a particular group. When the University of California, Santa Barbara College Republicans brought conservative author and activist David Horowitz to campus last year, numerous student government officers cited their dislike of his views in their decision to decrease funding for the event.
5. Outrageous Security Fees
Above: Security costs are often inflated to prevent certain events from being held.
Charging student groups prohibitively high security fees for hosting speakers deemed to be controversial is a sneaky method of censorship FIRE has encountered often.
The formula is simple: Administrators, worried about possible protests that a speaker might draw, compel the student group to have numerous police or security officers present at their event, on their dime and usually at extravagantly high cost, or else be shut down.
Fortunately, this is unconstitutional, and it's not hard to see why. If it wasn't, a group of students dead-set against a speaker whom they despised being given a forum on campus could loudly announce plans to protest the event and saddle the host organization with security fees so high they would have to cancel.
This kind of censorship knows no partisan bounds, either. With FIRE's help, groups hosting speakers from Dutch politician Geert Wilders on the right to Bill Ayers on the left have fought back and won against this indirect but equally pernicious form of censorship.
