But Wednesday night at Austin Peay they won 63-58 at the Dunn Center in Clarksville. The win ended a 22-game road losing streak for the Lady Bisons.
It was the first win for the Lady Bisons on the road since beating Belmont 76-66 at the Curb Center Jan. 12, 2009. They won a neutral site game Nov. 22, 2009 when they beat Presbyterian at Morehead State's tournament.
"Austin Peay is traditionally a hard place to play for anybody," Lady Bisons coach Frank Bennett said. "I think this is a new team and a new season.
"We are playing with a lot more determination. People are commenting on how much harder and how much together we are playing. I think we can play even better than we played against Austin Peay."
The Lady Bisons have won their last two games. They are 2-2 this season against Ohio Valley Conference teams.
Both teams struggled offensively in the first half with the Lady Bisons leading 24-21 at intermission.
"I'm sure Austin Peay was surprised that we came out and played almost all zone and forced the game," Bennett said. "We really were getting some great stops, but we weren't able to convert very regularly."
Lady Bisons guards Jenna Bartsokas and Anna Bowers combined for only three points in the first half.
Leah McAlister set the tone for the Lady Bisons scoring the first eight points for the team, including a pair of 3-pointers. She finished with 13 points to lead the team. She was a perfect three-of-three from 3-point range. Her 3-pointer with 4:12 left to play helped stop Austin Peay's surge late in the second half.
"Leah has had some pretty consistent games," Bennett said. "Austin Peay was taking away our post game and our driving game early. Leah was able to pop out on the 3-point line and make some baskets."
In the second half the Lady Bisons used three consecutive 3-point shots by Valerie Bronson, Anna Bowers and Miaca Bowman to break open the game from 14:04 to 13:09.
"We made 10 3-pointers and they made five," Bennett said. "On the road I can't remember a streak like that where we broke the game apart so quickly."
But it was not an easy second half for the Lady Bisons.
"Austin Peay scored a couple of baskets and got off to a quick start in the second half," Bennett said. "It looked like we were losing a little momentum.
"But we came right back and really pushed the ball and got some good looks for 3-pointers. Everything was clicking really well."
The Lady Bisons twice led by 18 points in the second half, the last time at 8:47.
"We got some cheap fouls, things like hand checks, that put Austin Peay on the line for four straight free throws that gave them some confidence they were lacking," Bennett said.
One important thing for the Lady Bisons was that they never lost their confidence.
"We missed a few free throws down the stretch," Bennett said. "But we didn't panic. Somebody would make a play for us when we needed it. We found a way to win it."
Bowers scored 12 points, her seventh double figures game of the season. All of her points were scored in the second half. She also added six rebounds.
Bronson chipped in with 11.
"We got great scoring from Leah and Val who both play the No.4 position," Bennett said. "Valerie is a good driver. When she plays within herself and doesn't force the issue she can play really well and be really effective."
Brittany Duerk led the Lady Bisons in rebounds with seven.
Austin Peay's Whitney Hanley led all scorers with 18. Jasmine Rayner was the top rebounder with 10. She also had a double-double with 10 points. Meghan Bussabarger added 15 points for Austin Peay.
The Lady Bisons are 4-4 for the season. Austin Peay slipped to 2-8.
The Lady Bisons will be off the next several days for final exams. They return to the court at Lipscomb's Allen Arena Dec. 18 against Kennesaw State.
"We will be on an every other day schedule which will give our players more time to study for finals," Bennett said. "I've always liked the idea with intense practices during this time with breaks in between."

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: A settlement of paleo-Americans lived some 9,000 years ago on or near the spot where this photograph was taken. Around them rose low sand dunes left from the bed of Lake Hitchcock, dunes that were covered with grass or even forested. The Sugarloaf range, which ends with Mt. Sugarloaf, formed a natural path for migrating animals. Archaeological evidence also points to extensive fishing in the nearby Connecticut River. They probably supplemented their hunting with crops grown in the locally rich soil. It is not known how long they lived there. A later generation of Native Americans, the Pocumtucks, lived in the area. In their language Mt. Sugarloaf was called Wequomps. They tended an early version of the tobacco growing in the fields in this picture. From nearly the first time of European settlement, tobacco was tended in Deerfield and South Deerfield for local use. In the 18th century, tobacco began to be grown as a cash crop, and cigars were manufactured locally. By the early 1900s, the open-field tobacco pictured here was being displaced by the shade-grown variety.

Moorhead. A: Your unsuccessful experience with Endless Summer is similar to the majority of those who have tried it in North Dakota and large parts of Minnesota. The basic problem is that the Endless Summer group of hydrangeas, including Bloomstruck, are members of the Hydrangea macrophylla species, which is the species of the non-adapted florist hydrangeas. The two hydrangea species that are best-adapted for our outdoor landscapes are Hydrangea paniculata and Hydrangea arborescens and their cultivars. Checking the fine print on hydrangea labels for the species saves much heartache. Because Bloomstruck is a Hydrangea macrophylla variety, it has a disadvantage in our region from the onset because of its genetics. Bloomstruck is fairly new, so time will tell, but it would be surprising if it performs better than its genetics allow. Q: Is it okay to prune the top of our arborvitae so that it doesn't grow too tall? Its width is fine, but the top is at about 8 feet and we'd like it to stay at that height. - Nancy Suttle, West Fargo. A: Yes, the tops of pyramidal arborvitae can be trimmed so they don't become too tall. If an arborvitae is allowed to grow out of bounds, it's difficult to radically reduce its height back down to desired size. Your idea of maintaining it at 8 feet from the start is much better than someday trying to cut a tall arborvitae back down to that level. Keeping a shrub or tree at its present size through pruning is often called "mold and hold" pruning. Several times during the growing season, prune off the current season's new growth so the arborvitae remains at the desired height. Some pyramidal arborvitae varieties' natural heights are 30 feet, so diligence may be needed to maintain at 8 feet. To hold an arborvitae at its present size, it's probably necessary to trim once in June or July and again in August. A quick trim across the top a couple times each summer should do it.

On Thursday afternoon, Gustaf sat at a table in the flower shop on 1020 S. Minnesota Ave., its sales floor busy with shoppers eyeing the 75 percent off retirement deals. Gustaf has been fighting renal cell carcinoma for more than two years, and has faced down multiple times he's been told to make his peace with the end. He's fought on, and looked for a time at selling the business. But over the last couple of months he's come to the decision it's time to close up shop, he said. "No regrets. Truly no regrets at all," he said. "I think we've made our mark on the world." Gustaf's Greenery started in the Western Mall before moving to its current location on Minnesota Avenue in 1986. "42 years slips by real fast," Gustaf said. Gustaf said his store has made its name for its work on holidays, but also weddings, funerals and other events that require flowers. Gustaf's Greenery isn't just one man, he repeated several times, but a team of talented and highly educated florists. "What incredible luck we've had to do what we do and touch people's hearts," he said. Most of his staff is moving to the Young & R... https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/business-journal/2018/12/20/gustafs-greenery-flower-shop-closing-after-42-years/2381620002/
However, it's very important to note the entire Endless Summer series is not well-adapted for general planting in North Dakota and northern Minnesota unless certain measures are followed. The series belongs to the species Hydrangea macrophylla, which is different from other hydrangeas that thrive in our region. It's more closely related to the florist-type hydrangea, and a majority of gardeners have reported disappointment after the first season.Those who report success with the Endless Summer series plant the shrubs in protected, shaded microclimates, mulch through the growing season, provide plentiful moisture and ensure winter protection, including good snow cover.Q: It was great fun to see the photos and read the letter from the person in Moorhead with the prolific amaryllis. I also had one of these huge white double amaryllis from Walmart this Christmas. Mine had three stems and also had 17 flowers. — Linda Luessen, Valley City, N.D.A: Thanks, Linda, for your interesting comments.Linda continues, "I got mine at the Jamestown, N.D., Walmart. When the bloom first showed color, I was disappointed to see it was going to be white, because the flower on the box was red with a white star in the middle and was labeled 'Stargazer.' I was amazed at the size of the bud, then this huge double flower opened up. The flowers were so large, and there were so many it was hard to distinguish one bloom from another. Needless to say, I will be checking for these mislabeled bulbs again next Christmas!"Stargazer amaryllis should indeed be bright red with white stripes, so obviously a mix-up occurred somewhere in packaging, but at least it turned into a pleasant surprise.If you have a gardening or lawn care question, email Don Kinzler at email@example.com. All questions will be answered, and those with broad appeal may be published, so please include your name, city and state for appropriate advice. https://www.thedickinsonpress.com/lifestyle/home-and-garden/4574152-fielding-questions-can-tulip-bulbs-be-replanted-pot-trying-out-new

The Wabash College football team clinched its third straight North Coast Athletic Conference championship Saturday, beating Denison University 42-0 to improve to 9-0 on the year. The Little Giants ended the NCAC portion of their schedule with a perfect 7-0 mark, which improved Wabash's league record to 20-1 in the last three seasons.
While the Monon Bell Classic looms this Saturday at sold-out Blackstock Stadium in Greencastle, the Little Giant football team will also be thinking of the post-season for the third time under head coach Chris Creighton. Wabash advanced to the third round of the playoffs in 2002 and the second round in 2005. By virtue of its undefeated record in the NCAC, Wabash will receive an automatic berth in the 32-team Division III playoff field.
Who Wabash will play and where remain questions. The NCAA will announce the Division III playoff field this Sunday afternoon. Wabash will have complete information, including ticket info, on its website Sunday evening.
Wabash comes into the Monon Bell Classic with a full head of steam after Saturday's Senior Day victory. The Little Giants own a 13-game winning streak and have won 28 of their last 31 games since 2005. DePauw is 7-2 on the year and has won three games in a row, including last week's 21-0 shutout at Rhodes College.
The Monon Bell Classic will be televised nationally in high definition by HDNet. Wabash and DePauw have organized 58 telecast parties across the country. Plan now to attend — you can locate a party location near you by clicking here.
Saturday's 114th meeting between the two rivals is sold out.
If you are planning to attend the game, be advised that pre-game tailgating in DePauw University's Blackstock Stadium parking lots will be allowed only after 9:00 a.m. No vehicles will be permitted into the lots prior to that time. Gates will open at 11:30 a.m.
In Saturday's victory over Denison, Wabash paid tribute to its senior class, which has won three straight league championships, a feat matched only by Wabash football players in the Class of 1995, who won Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference titles in 1991, 1992, and 1994.
Senior linebacker Adi Pynenberg broke one of Wabash's oldest career records when he snapped Jim Kilbane's career tackles record. Kilbane '84 posted 400 stops during his time at Wabash. Pynenberg has also set the record for most career tackles for loss with at least two games remaining.
Wabash's four senior wide receivers — Mike Russell, Gabe Guerrero, Bart Banach (pictured), and Ray Green — also finished their regular season home careers on high notes. The quartet combined for 20 receptions and three of the four scored touchdowns in the romp.

Arm-Fall-Off Boy: The Man, the Myth, the Legend
CHAPTER 1: The Introduction
When you have a series with the history that the Legion has, dating back more than 50 years, you accumulate baggage, for better or worse, sometimes both. One concept both awesome and silly is the try-outs. In 50 years, I think the Legion is still unique in that it holds them. And dating back to the Silver Age, you've got your winners and you've got your losers.
This is not about one of the winners.
Today, on April Fool's Day, when everyone else is joking about serious things, I'm going to seriously cover one of the Legion's biggest jokes: Arm-Fall-Off Boy.
Most of the time when you see an article on the internet talking about the lamest super-heroes ever (like this, this, this, and this) three Legion-related characters often show up: Bouncing Boy, Matter-Eater Lad, and Arm-Fall-Off Boy. They don't seem to realize that Arm-Fall-Off Boy, at least, was created specifically to be lame, and therefore shouldn't really count against lame characters.
Anyway, in honor of April Fool's Day, here's a look at the history of Arm-Fall-Off Boy and his literary "older brother", Ear-Fall-Off Floyd.
[Note: I got started on this too late and didn't have enough time to get in touch with Jay Zilber or Roger Stern for their sections. I'll fill in the appropriate info if and when I get it.]
Also: visit Arm-Fall-Off Boy's Facebook page.
CHAPTER 2: Ear-Fall-Off Floyd
But believe it or not, Arm-Fall-Off Boy's roots go back to at least the 1970s, well before he first appeared in print. Legion fandom grew up in the late 1960s and early 1970s through letter columns and fanzines like Interlac and The Legion Outpost. Among the many members of these groups, for varying lengths of time, were people like Tom & Mary Bierbaum, Jim Shooter, Mike Flynn, Harry Broertjes (whose names together inspired the Shooter-created character Flynt Brojj), Jay Zilber, and Gerard Jones.
Ear-Fall-Off Floyd (who briefly had his own now-deleted Wikipedia entry from which this information was taken) was a comic book superhero parody strip in which the would-be hero's "superpower" was that his ear would fall off in moments of crisis, written and edited by Jay L. Zilber and drawn by Jim McPherson. He appeared in the fanzine Fandom Funnies #3, December 1976. Fandom Funnies #3 was a parody of The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom (currently The Comics Buyer's Guide), titled "The Buyer's God for Comic Fandom". Ear-Fall-Off Floyd, whose name pretty much describes his super-power, was featured in two stories, one drawn in the DC Comics style, the other in the Marvel Comics style.
Here are a couple of images of Floyd from a statue, from photos on Jay's public Facebook page. Apparently the sound of one's ears popping off is POIK.
I couldn't get in touch with Jay himself, though, to see what he had to say about Floyd. But he later wrote this on Facebook (in the comments).
CHAPTER 3: Arm-Fall-Off Boy and the Pre-Zero Hour Legion
Now, flash forward from 1976 to 1989. Writer Gerard Jones and artist Kurt Schaffenberger turned in their story for "Secret Origins" #46, featuring the secret origin of the Legion Clubhouse. In this story, the clubhouse was actually a facility sent by Jor-El and Lara of Krypton before it blew up; their son Kal-El would, of course, need Kryptonian supplies. But in the Post-Crisis DC Universe, that couldn't have happened, so the story was scrapped and a new one commissioned (this unpublished story survived and can be seen, among other places, at Cosmic Teams).
Mark Waid, editor of "Secret Origins":
I want to say that, as the SECRET ORIGINS editor, I pitched him writer Gerard Jones when we had to come up with an emergency replacement story for his original Schaffenberger-pencilled HQ origin. But it's entirely possible that Gerry came up with AFO on his own; historical records, as they say, are sketchy at best. Either way, it was after KC Carlson pitched "Fortress Lad" as the centerpiece hero of the story.The published story, written by Jones and with art by Curt Swan and Ty Templeton, brings Fortress Lad into continuity, but also introduces a failed applicant named Arm-Fall-Off Boy.
KC Carlson recalls (or not):
I'm sorry to say that I can't help you in determining the origins of Arm-Fall-Off Boy. I suspect that he's a creation of Mark Waid or Gerry Jones' fevered brains. And don't believe Waid's denials for a second. Ever since Mark Waid has become Evil, he's been backtracking or denying everything that he's ever said or done that fundamentally made him Mark Waid in the first place. Now, that's evil.Now, to briefly digress, listen to Mark Waid's podcast "15 Minutes with Waid - Fortress Lad's Lament" in which he discusses the original Jones/Schaffenberger story and then the Fortress Lad story.
God help me, I'm already credited with the creation of Fortress Lad. Isn't that enough?
Wikipedia says that Gerry Jones created him. They would know. They're Super-Geniuses there.
Seriously though, I have no idea who came up with Arm-Fall-Off Boy. I was as surprised to see him in that story as was everybody else. Except maybe his mom, the former Arm-Fall-Off Girl. Perhaps she, along with the unnamed father, are the actual creators of Arm-Fall-Off Boy.
So that left Gerard "Gerry" Jones, writer of the Legion Clubhouse story. I asked if he had any recollections about it to share:
Early in my comics-writing days I joined Interlac briefly and even afterward hung out with several of its members. From one of them — possibly Mike Forrester or Mike Valerio, but maybe someone else entirely — I'd heard, or thought I'd heard, about a pseudo-character in Legion fandom called Arm-Fall-Off Boy. It could be that they were saying "Ear-Fall-Off Floyd" and I misunderstood, or it could be that one of them had misunderstood Ear-Fall-Off Floyd as Arm-Fall-Off Boy and passed it on to me. In any case, when I stuck Arm-Fall-Off Boy into that Secret Origins story I thought I was making a nod to Legion fandom but later discovered that I'd accidentally brought in something entirely new. Had we had more time I probably would have talked to Waid about it and gotten all this clarified, but that story was a last-second replacement for an earlier story that had been cut. Which is fortunate, ultimately. Now we have Arm-Fall-Off Boy, and yet Ear-Fall-Off Floyd is still out there awaiting his moment in the spotlight.
... I think I left [AFOB's design] mostly to Curt, although I believe I did specify that when his arm pops off we should somehow see the open socket in his body. It was a thrill to be working with Curt Swan on a Legion story, I must say.You may not remember, but Arm-Fall-Off Boy has the distinction, as seen in this issue, of being the very first rejected Legion applicant. As can be guessed, his power was the ability to detach his limbs (in particular, his arms) with a PLORP and use them as clubs. The Legion didn't quite think that this was up to their standards of applicants, and considering he was their first applicant, that says something. Oh, and that's Fortress Lad of the planet Fwang in the familiar red and yellow in the back right corner of the first panel below.
Also: "A" is for Arm-Fall-Off Boy.
This was Arm-Fall-Off Boy's first and only appearance in Pre-Zero Hour continuity.
CHAPTER 4: Splitter and the Post-Zero Hour Legion
Believe it or not, Arm-Fall-Off Boy was lame in three continuities. After the Zero Hour reboot, Floyd Belkin applied to the Legion from Lallor, in Legionnaires #43 (the big try-out issue), as Splitter. That didn't go over well either. His costume is similar to his alternate-universe counterpart, but the Earth-247 version is much less bulky. Note Live Wire's comment about "Arm-Fall-Off Floyd".
Later, Splitter tries to help out in a battle, but has a panic attack and goes to pieces - literally. Wait, what's that sound that his limbs make as they pop off? POIT? Nearly the very same POIK that we saw and heard above, coming from Ear-Fall-Off Floyd.
Ian Rowland says:
It is my crusade to make the comics people bring back Arm-Fall-Off Boy. I want the TV people to make an Arm-Fall-Off Boy live-action TV series, and Hollywood to make a major motion picture. Superman, Batman etc. are all very dull compared with Arm-Fall-Off Boy. Think of the merchandising - for the first time in history, you could have a doll or action figure where it doesn't matter if the arm comes off!To the best of my recollection, this is the only place that Splitter appeared.
Can you imagine a comic book artist coming up with this idea? Discussing it with the guys down at the office? Isn't it majestic that someone actually gave the go-ahead for this character to appear? Life is more wonderful than we can ever imagine.
CHAPTER 5: Arm-Fall-Off Boy and the Animated TV Show Legion
The third Floyd appeared in the animated TV series continuity, in Legion of Super-Heroes in the 31st Century #16, written by Matthew K. Manning and art by Shawn McManus (cover by Alexander Serra). In this story, which is actually Floyd's story with the Legion as supporting characters, we see how even getting rejected by the Legion doesn't necessarily mean that you're TOO lame.
The original solicitation:
Written by Matthew Manning, Art by Shawn McManus, Cover by Alexander SerraNote that while the costume is similar, Floyd is now very scrawny, very far removed from his original counterpart.
It's the issue you've been waiting for: The untold story of Arm-Fall-Off Boy! The embarrassingly powered would-be Legionnaire wants nothing more than a flight ring and for Saturn Girl to know his name. But since flight technology and easily detached limbs don't always mix, Arm-Fall-Off Boy has his work cut out for him!
Well it wasn't too hard to research Arm-Fall-Off Boy's history, as he's only made a few appearances that have all found their way into my collection over the years. Essentially, this story came about as I was working up a Legion back-up pitch to try to show to Steve Wacker back when he was editing the title. Unfortunately, the book ended before I got a chance to finish the pitch, and so I was stuck with a story that I really liked with no title to find a home for it.
When the new Legion cartoon debuted, I petitioned to write the tie-in comic, and despite becoming one of the title's regular writers, only ended up penning three issues before its cancelation. Luckily enough, in that time I was able to sneak my Arm-Fall-Off Boy spotlight issue through. Getting Shawn McManus to draw the issue made it even better, as I've been a fan of his since his Sandman days. And the icing on the cake was Alex Serra's cover, an homage idea I pitched to him and luckily, both he and my editor, Jeanine Schaefer liked. The "Applicant 247" in-joke was all Alex, though.
I'm sure if the series continued, Arm-Fall-Off Boy would have at least made a cameo or two in other issues. And if I ever get another shot at writing a Legion book, I'll do my best to continue Floyd's illustrious legacy. Because if I don't, who will?

Q: Why is Avid offering a Media Composer subscription license?

Q: Why did Avid discontinue NewsCutter?
Q: Do I have to change the way I buy Avid software? Can I just continue to buy an upgrade when I need it?

Q: If I buy Media Composer outright (a perpetual license), how do I upgrade it? Will software patches and bug fixes be free like they've always been?

ANAHEIM — When Corona del Mar High wins CIF Southern Section football titles, the school does so in consecutive years.
The top-seeded Sea Kings completed their back-to-back Southern Division championship run with a convincing 35-10 victory against No. 3 Garden Grove on Saturday at Angel Stadium.
Under Coach Scott Meyer, the Sea Kings finished 12-2 overall for the second straight year.
The previous time CdM won two straight section championships was in 1988-89.
The Sea Kings opened the scoring on Garden Grove's first pass attempt, as Alex Moore took back an interception 30 yards for the touchdown, just 12 seconds into the game.
CdM senior quarterback Cayman Carter rushed for two touchdowns and threw a TD pass.
Sea Kings kicker Griff Amies tied the state record for most field goals in a season when he nailed a 43-yard field goal for his 22nd of the season.

Im sitting Dwayne Bowe this week in favor of.. Davone Bess. (same initials!)
Bowe is playing against the improved Lions.. and I fear for Cassels life. Bess is playing against the Texans..Henne often puts up big fantasy numbers.. Bowe is often a slow starter and Bess is one of the most under rated fantasy WRs out there..hes also better in the red zone than Brandon Marshall.
Am I over thinking this and being stupid? Or ..do I have good points?? Help! Must. Beat. Sammy.

All That We've Been Through
"You're really serious about this, aren't you?" "Yes" "Well, I guess there's nothing left to say." What if Edward left Bella................... but never left Forks? What if Bella freaked out................... and ran away? What if Jacob played the love-sick puppy........ but not forever? An Alternative New Moon
Disclaimer: I own nothing. At all. Especially not anything Twilight-ish (although owning Taylor Lautner would be nice... seriously, is he for sale?). Well, I have the books. I'm allowed to have the books, right? So, here we are, yet another Bella ending up with Jacob story - I didn't see the point of keeping the end a secret, we all knew where this one was headed! - but I promise there's at least one particularly intense tangent in the plot. I like it anyway :) There is a bit of OOC with Bella with a dip into an alternative back story Pre-Twilight... story wouldn't work otherwise!
1. Gave It All Away
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1776 Review this Chapter
"Edward..." Bella managed to breathe in a momentary break in their kiss. "Edward, I love you," she whispered in the next.
They were wrapped up in each other on Bella's bed, desperately trying to keep quiet so as not to wake Charlie in the next room.
Edward broke off, moving his face close to her ear. "I love you, too," he replied. "More than anything."
His right arm snaked around Bella's shoulder, and his hand cupped the back of her head - keeping it ever-so-slightly raised from the pillow - while his left hand slid slowly from its original position in her hair. He continued down her cheek, then lightly stroked her breast, moving down to the bottom of her shirt.
He once again broke away from her lips. He smiled as he began to lift her shirt and slid his hand around her back. The smile stayed on his face until he lowered his head, meeting his cool lips to hers, sending a tingle through her entire body. In a change of pace, he placed butterfly kisses around her mouth, moving along her jaw to her ear.
Bella stifled the impassioned moans striving to escape her throat. She pulled him back so that he was facing her. She caressed his lips, deepening it to a hungry, demanding kiss. Licking his bottom lip, she gained access to his cool mouth, exploring the area with her tongue. She then ran her tongue along his teeth, making him shiver in the process.
The ever intensifying embrace was reaching a boiling point, the slightest of moans unable to be stifled. The need to breathe got the better of Bella and she broke away, breathing heavily. Edward took his passionate kiss and dragged it along Bella's neck.
Then it happened.
In that moment, he lost his self control, causing him to open his mouth and go in for the kill.
Then his clarity returned.
His teeth scraped her neck, not enough for the venom to enter, but certainly enough for Bella to notice. He pulled away from her, shocked and utterly disgusted with himself
"Edward!" she screamed as she sat bolt upright, knocking him over. "What have you done?!"
"Shhhhhhhh," Edward pleaded, but it was too late. He disappeared out of her window in a heartbeat before Charlie came running through the door.
"Edward!" she screamed again.
"Bella? Bella?" Charlie gasped with the panic of a parent. "Are you okay? What happened?" While Bella was known to talk in her sleep, she had yet to scream questions into the darkness.
She didn't respond.
"Bella!" Charlie choked again, catching her shoulders and turning her away from the direction of the window, which she had been staring at when he entered the room. "Bells, honey, what's wrong?"
Bella suddenly clicked back into reality.
"Nothing," she said unconvincingly. "It was nothing, I just had a nightmare."
"It's okay, Bells. It was only a dream," her father said as he comfortingly rubbed her arm. "One starring Edward from what you shouted," he stated.
Only half-jokingly, Charlie chipped in, "makes sense."
Charlie's dislike of his daughter's boyfriend was all too evident, both in person and by reputation.
"Very funny, Dad," Bella said with the best mock-annoyed tone she could muster before rolling her eyes. "I'm okay now," she lied. "You can head back to bed." She managed a half-smile to appease her father's need for proof that she was feeling better.
"Okay, Bells. You're sure?" he asked as he stood up.
"I'll be fine, Dad. I'd better get back to sleep as well."
"Okay." Charlie got up and headed towards the bedroom door. "Hope you have a few hours of sweeter dreams," he added, before closing the door behind him.
Bella had no intention of going to sleep.
She waited long enough until Charlie's snores could be heard again before praying her klutziness wouldn't give her away. She then threw on some more clothing and snuck out the house. Right at the front door, there was a squeak of the old floorboards. She froze to make sure Charlie's breathing pattern had not been interrupted, and, with that, she dashed out the door towards her truck.
It was quarter past four in the morning, but at that moment all she could do was hope that her precious truck wouldn't make enough noise to draw attention. When she was satisfied that her engine wasn't too loud after turning the ignition, she drove off in the familiar direction of the Cullen family home.
When she reached the house, all except Alice were surprised to see her.
"Hello, Bella - early is it not?" Carlisle greeted her warmly at the door. It wasn't early for them - it was never early for them.
"I'm looking for Edward." Obviously. "He was just at my house and then he disappeared."
"We haven't seen him since he left for your house."
Just then, the little pixie Bella loved so much moved through the group gathered at the door. She nearly knocked Bella over in her embrace.
"Hi, Alice," Bella managed to say, though oxygen was scarce in Alice's grip.
"Are you okay?" Alice squeaked knowingly as she stood back.
"Alice," Carlisle started, rightly confused. "Where is Edward? He has not been home in hours."
"He's at the baseball field. He-" Alice didn't get to finish her sentence before Bella dashed across the porch and down the stairs - careful not to fall - towards her truck.
"What happened?" Carlisle asked, turning to Alice.
"Edward nearly bit her."
"How did that happen?" Carlisle asked calmly. He was slightly reassured by the word 'nearly'.
"He got a little, er, over-excited," Alice answered, her eyes glancing in the direction of where Bella had disappeared.
"I see. What can you see happening now?"
"I'm not sure; Edward doesn't know what he's going to do. A few of his options leave Bella devastated." A sad look settled on Alice's face as she felt the pain her friend would be in.
"Well, whatever he does, I'm su-"
"Oh no..."
For the slightest of moments, Carlisle appeared confused over Alice's outburst. Then it dawned on him.
"He's decided what to do."
"Edward!" Bella shouted as she jumped down from the cab. She'd stopped the truck at the edge of the woods surrounding the field and started running towards the large tree-lined arena which invoked a strange combination of emotions: happiness of being with Edward and his family; fear of Laurent, Victoria, and James; panic as her second family jumped to protect her. She pushed the thoughts to the side as she focused on not running into a tree as she raced forward.
"Edward!" she shouted again.
She broke through the trees with only minor scratches on her hands and arms - evidence of her path - and let her lungs fill with the air she's missed through her run.
Then she saw him.
He was standing in the middle of the pitch looking down at the faded white markings on the ground. His face was barely visible from the angle at which it was positioned, but it was evident that he was fighting an inner war with himself.
"Edward," Bella said breathlessly, her voice edged with both relief and confusion. She ran the rest of the distance to stand in front of him.
"Bella," he replied as he slowly lifted his eyes to meet her gaze. He couldn't help the expression of resignation which fleetingly spread to every corner of his face - he had something to say.
"Edward," she repeated. "What happened? Did I do something... wrong?" Her face was one of realisation as she considered that it may have been something she did that sparked off Edward's desire to kill her.
"You we're fine," he answered coolly. "As well as you could be, anyway."
A crest-fallen Bella echoed, "As I could be? What does that mean?"
"Well, under the circumstances..." Edward found the argument not making much sense; he couldn't blame her inexperience, so he tried a different approach. "What I mean is, tonight went a lot further than it should have. I could never do that again; you were into it emotionally more than I was, and I'm not going to go on pretending otherwise if our time together could end up getting you killed."
Shock engulfed Bella's facial expression, rendering her unable to move.
"On some level I do care about you, but if my imitation of a man in love goes on, it could be dangerous for you. It could be deadly."
Bella desperately tried to interrupt; she wanted to tell him he was wrong, that he did love her as much as she did him.
"I'm sorry, Bella. Tonight only showed that this charade is just not worth it. Not if it could end your life in an instant."
"Edward, listen to yourself - you're not making any sense! If you weren't into it, you wouldn't have lost control," Bella pleaded her case.
"Oh, Bella, so young, so naïve. You'll discover soon enough that a man doesn't need to be in love to lose control; sometimes it's even easier."
"So, what are you saying?" Bella finally asked, defeated by his worldly logic.
"I don't love you, Bella. I never did."
"Yes, you did!" she exclaimed. "You said so!" she continued. Her eyes fell from his face and her voice become no more than a whisper. "You said so."
He stood motionless, watching her.
"I am sorry, Bella."
Frustrated tears formed in Bella's eyes as she forced herself to look back at him.
"You're really serious about this, aren't you?" she snapped. Anger had momentarily substituted her sorrow at his denial.
"Well, I guess there's nothing left to say," she said finally, as her tears started to fall.
Edward walked away from her, making his way into the forest. She didn't follow him.
She didn't know how long she stood there - it may as well have been days. All Bella knew was that she was standing in the middle of the clearing, shivering. Wearing nothing but her shoes, pyjamas, and her green zip-up hoodie.
She didn't care.

MET Dark Spirits: Maggie Gyllenhaal
Points for trying something different. And only Maggie G could have pulled it off. But no points for scaring me. Maybe if it was a different colour. But the way it is now, with her face so severe, and the fabric like storm clouds gathered around her legs, like there are spells swirling in those skirts, and that black leather sash an eventual noose for an eventual victim, I imagine that if you were to walk past it would whisper at you, some horrible voice sliding up your neck telling you exactly when and where you're going to die. This dress is a dark spirit.
And I don't blame you if you don't believe. It probably all sounds like some Chinese airy fairy bullsh-t. But I'm telling you, what you wear can affect the feng shui too. And she's wearing a bad omen. Now I don't even want to look at it anymore.

Soil erosion on cropland declined by more than 40 percent over the past 25 years, but more than one-third of development of U.S. land occurred during the same period.
That's according to the latest National Resource Inventory for non-federal lands, released April 27 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Total cropland erosion dropped by 43 percent, from more than 3 billion tons per year in 1982 to 1.72 billion tons annually in 2007. Most of the erosion reductions occurred between 1987 and 1997.
Cropland acreage declined 15 percent from 420 million acres in 1982 to 357 million acres in 2007. About half of that reduction is reflected in enrollments of environmentally sensitive cropland in USDA's Conservation Reserve Program.
About 40 million acres of land were newly developed between 1982 and 2007, bringing the national total to about 111 million acres. More development occurred in the Southeast than in any other region. The NRI definition of developed land includes rural transportation corridors such as roads and railroads, as well as residential, industrial, commercial and other land uses.
The United States had 325 million acres of prime farmland in 2007, compared to 339 million acres in 1982. The acreage of prime farmland converted to other uses during the 25-year period is greater than the combined area of Vermont and New Hampshire and almost as large as West Virginia.
The American Farm Bureau Federation noted that the NRI findings reflect its long-standing assertion that American farmers are producing more with fewer resources. While farmland acreage has disappeared, total U.S. crop yield in tons per acres has increased more than 360 percent since 1950.
"This report substantiates all the hard work that farmers and ranchers have done over the years to be more environmentally conscious, to be more efficient at what they do in producing the nation's food and fiber and fuel, and it gives us something to point to when our critics talk about how bad agriculture is," said AFBF President Bob Stallman.
Virginia Farm Bureau Federation President Wayne F. Pryor, a Goochland County grain and beef producer, called the findings on conversion of prime farmland disturbing. "Development can isolate tracts of farmland," he noted, "which degrades a region's farming infrastructure and ultimately makes farming in that region less efficient."

LOS ANGELES (AP) — ''The Sopranos'' might be coming to the movie theater.
Warner Bros. Pictures says Thursday that New Line has purchased a screenplay for a ''Sopranos'' prequel from series creator David Chase and Lawrence Konner. The studio says the working title is ''The Many Saints of Newark'' and will be set in the 1960s during the Newark riots.
Chase's acclaimed series about mobster Tony Soprano, played by the late James Gandolfini, ran for six seasons on HBO and won 21 primetime Emmys.
Warner Bros. Picture Group chairman Toby Emmerich says in a statement that the studio is thrilled that Chase has decided to revisit and enlarge the Soprano universe. Chase will executive produce and co-write the film, but a director has yet to be selected.

Tie pin
A tie pin is a good way to keep your tie in place so it doesn't wave around. And it's a great way to add jewelry in your outfit, if you can call it that. The popularity of the tie pin has been up and down, but it seems that people are satisfied for the ability to help keep the tie in place.
The placement of the tie pin
When you're wearing a tie pin it's very important the place the tie pin correctly in order to avoid breaking the unwritten rules, and it being pointed out by friends. The tie pin shouldn't be placed to low, even though it seems natural for it to keep the tie in place. The pin must, if you want to follow the rules, be placed between the third and fourth button on your shirt. That's the rule of thumb.
The tin pin width
Just like the placement of the tie pin the width of the tie pin in very important if you to avoid protest form your friends. The ideal width of a tie pin is 80 % of the tie's width.
A style tip for the tie pin is to pull the tie a bit out when placing the pin. It creates space between the tie, the knot and the shirt, which add volume to the look even though you don't pull out that much.

March 16, 2006
Two separate groups of students descended on Washington over spring break. The first group was a Immersion trip led by Professors David Hadley and Phil Mikesell. This class deals with the legislative and executive branches of government with Homeland Security as a particular focus area. To read more about this trip, from the students' perspective, click here.
The other group in town were the participants in the second Jim Graham '65 Externship Program. Ten young men from the College made the trip, almost doubling the number of participants last year. During the week, Wabash alumni and their families hosted our students in their homes. During the business day, our students worked alongside other alumni, learning firsthand what the real word is really like in the areas of business, consulting, not-for-profits, and the practice of law.
On Friday, March 10, as the week was winding down, Jane and Greg Castanias '87 hosted both groups at their home. Their house was packed with a great turnout of alumni and students. Many thanks go to Jane and Greg!
The National Capital Association is one of our most active, most energetic regional associations. If you'd like to start something like the externship program in your area, just contact Wabash at email@example.com.

I don't know who Alexis DeJoria is, but apparently she likes a challenge. Not only is she a car racer, but she's engaged to Outlaw Garage star Jesse James, who used to be married to Sandra Bullock, who kicked him to the curb pronto-like when she discovered he'd been serially cheating on her. James then went on to multiple cheat (because he does everything full on!) with his next girlfriend, Kat Von D. This is a guy who likes being married and engaged -- he did the first three times and the second five times -- and he likes cheating. What can go wrong?
James was married to Sandra for five years until his secret life as a multiple cheater was exposed. Sandra right-quick divorced him. Just as right-quick, James hooked up with Kat Von D, a tattoo artist and star of L.A. Ink. Soon enough, however, Kat got the Sandra treatment, and accused Jesse of cheating on her with no less than 19 women. Nineteen!!! They weren't even together that long. And I imagine there were a few she didn't know about.
So who is this Alexis DeJoria? For one, she's a race car driver. For two, she looks kind of like Sandra and Kat. Well, at least they are all brunette. For three, I'm guessing either Alexis thinks Jesse has changed (same mistake Kat made) or ... she's fine with him dabbling around with other ladies. There are all types of relationships in this world.
DeJoria is 35 and has a 9-year-old daughter, Isabella. And the most shocking part of all of this? Apparently Alexis and Jesse have only been dating a month. Normally this would be some cause for alarm -- but in this case, Alexis must know everything bad there already is to know about Jesse. Unless she can't read.
You have to wonder if maybe Alexis has her doubts about Jesse though. I mean, look at this retweet of hers:
No relationship is a waste of time for #Libra.The wrong ones teach them the lessons that prepare them for the right ones.— Libras R Us (@Libras_R_Us) November 19, 2012
Sounds kind of like she knows what she's in for? Oh wait, maybe she thinks the "wrong" relationships are behind her and the "right" one is Jesse. Which would be scary. But as a race car driver, Alexis must be used to fear.
What do you think of Alexis and Jesse's engagement?

SunScape necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 44 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
SunScape Tanning Studios - Beauty Angel Launch
We are a 7 salon tanning salon chain from Vancouver, BC, Canada. We operate clean and modern salons with the highest tech equipment available. We are about to launch a brand new product called Beauty Angel - it's a skin rejuvenation bed that uses Red Light Therapy to help give the skin a more youthful appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pore size, and firming skin. It also has a 'vibration plate' that helps tone muscles, increase circulation, and reduce cellulite.
We have two target markets with this marketing piece:
Addressed Admail - this will be sent out to previous clients from our existing database. So, they are familiar with SunScape, but have not been in for over a year. Therefore, we are making them a couple very strong offers to try and get their business back, in addition to introducing them to Beauty Angel. We are also hoping that by offering a free tan, we can update a lot of their email addresses so we can send them future promotions via email.
Unaddressed Admail - this will be sent out to all homes in the area of each salon. Most of these people will be new to SunScape. Again, strong offers to try and get them to try us out, and highlighting Beauty Angel which is a new service that may appeal to clients who aren't interested in tanning.
I have attached a word document (5 x 7 postcard) outlining what needs to be on both sides.
Some other general design guidelines:
1. I've included our current Brochure so you can get an idea of colors, style, brand, etc. I haven't included too many other design guidelines as I'm flexible with a little bit of a new look with this. You may also view http://www.sunscapetanning.com/freeweek to see other branding examples.
2. I've included various Beauty Angel images - leave it up to you to use what fits best.
3. Let me know if any higher res images are needed.
4. Will need .eps/.ai print files produced as well as .jpg/.pdf for viewing.
5. Time is of the essence - need to get out asap.
6. We have lots of work coming up - happy to work with one designer (saves us time) who does a great job.

White Diamonds makes iPhone 4 and original iPad cases with artistic prints embedded with Swarovski crystals. We first saw them at CES 2011 and when they offered us the chance for a closer look we jumped on it. Frankly, we wanted to see how well these gorgeous cases stood up to daily wear and tear. White Diamonds was kind enough to send us an Angels Calling iPhone 4 case by Vince Fraser, a Rainbow collection iPhone 4 case by Livius Dietzel, and a Nafrotiti iPad case also by Vince Fraser.
White Diamonds cases consist of clear plastic frames with artistic, crystal enhanced back plates. They come in a variety of colors and in several designs. I found them a little difficult to put on and take off but once on they fit well with no looseness or wiggle room. The sides come up slightly higher than the display of the iPhone or iPad which isn't my personal preference (I like to be able to swipe and select without hitting an edge) but it does let you place your device face down without worrying about the screen if you so wish.
I was initially worried about the crystals falling off during day to day use or when placed down on a table but after several weeks of consistent use they're all still there and look as good as the day I got them. That's very impressive. I did drop my iPhone 4 while using the Angels Calling case and though the corner chipped slightly it's sacrifice was not in vain -- it protected my iPhone 4 completely.
If you want to add a splash of style and sparkle to your iPhone 4 or original iPad, check out White Diamonds!
Give away
We're giving away the black Rainbow Collection iPhone 4 review unit -- it's been tested but is still in near-perfect condition. Just leave a comment below saying which artist you'd like to see get the crystal treatment and you're automagically entered. (Real email address required. We won't make it public but will need it to contact you if you win!)

Darnell Turner received the most votes to secure a seat on the Los Medanos Community Health Care District board, even though he died in September.
In Tuesday's election, of which final results are still pending, Turner received 8,906 votes. Three candidates were vying for two seats on the district, which distributes community grants to support health and wellness services targeted to low-income communities in Pittsburg, Bay Point, Clayton, Clyde and unincorporated Antioch.
Incumbent J. Vern Cromartie was re-elected to his seat with 7,799 votes, followed by former district board member Joe Rubi, who received 5,619 votes. To fill Turner's spot, the district will either appoint someone or hold a special election, which would be expensive and have to be paid for by the district. There are 36,524 registered voters in the area served by the district, and a special-election ballot would have to be mailed to every voter.
Turner, a well-known community activist in East County, was up for re-election at the time of his death in early September. It was too late to take his name off the ballot.
Willie Mims, a longtime friend of Turner's, was among those who voted for him.
"The people I spoke to told me they voted for him out of respect," Mims said. "He was a friend. I had to vote for him."
So did his mother, Birdine Turner.
"I sure miss my child," she said. But she questions why others might cast a vote for him, even if they meant to show respect.
"It makes sense for someone alive" to be elected, she said.
People vote for deceased candidates for a variety of reasons, according to Corey Cook, an associate professor and director of the Leo T. McCarthy Center for Public Service and the Common Good at the University of San Francisco.
"So there's a combination of possible explanations — people who might recognize the name but not know that he had passed away, which is certainly more likely in a low-intensity down-ballot (such as a special district) race, than say in a statewide race, then there are also likely people who wanted to honor him by voting symbolically for him," he wrote in an email.
Other motives can include just not liking the other candidates.
In Contra Costa, there was a previous case involving a deceased candidate. That happened in the June 1994 election when Gus Kramer and Dan Hallissy were competing for the assessor's office. Hallissy died shortly before the election and his name remained on the ballot, and voters elected Kramer to the office. In that election, incumbent Assessor John Biasotti so opposed Kramer that he urged voters to cast ballots for the deceased candidate.
Marilyn Condit, president of the district's board of directors, said board members will hold a special meeting to discuss appointing someone to the post or holding a special election.
"We have to make a decision," said Condit, adding that the board is still able to carry out its business and vote on grants and other matters with the current four members.
As far as Turner getting the most votes of the three candidates, Condit said it does reflect a way of honoring and remembering him.
"It kind of warms my heart to think the community thought so highly of him to vote for him in his honor. Now we'll be making a decision on how to fill his position. We've never had this happen before."

Eagles get five draft picks under contract
Philadelphia, PA – The Philadelphia Eagles signed five of the their eight draft picks to a contract on Thursday.
The team agreed to terms with tight end Zach Ertz, safety Earl Wolff, defensive end Joe Kruger, cornerback Jordan Poyer and defensive end David King.
The Eagles picked Ertz in the second round. He became the highest selected tight end by the Eagles since the team took Keith Jackson 13th overall in 1988.
Ertz helped Stanford to a 2012 Pac-12 Conference championship and Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin. He led the Cardinal with 69 receptions, 898 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
The 6-foot-5, 249-pounder appeared in 38 career games at Stanford, recording 113 receptions for 1,434 yards and 15 touchdowns during his three-year career.
