Toyota To Bring Autonomous Cars To The Road In Five Years
Peter Suciu for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Those who hate to drive might soon be able to let the car take the wheel, so to speak, as Toyota Motor Corporation has laid out specifics on autonomous car technologies that will move into high-gear by the mid-2010s, the company announced on Friday.Toyota's core autonomous car technology, the Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA) is based on two specific new features including the Cooperative-adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Trace Control. The former allows wireless communication with preceding vehicles to maintain safe distance, while the latter aids steering to keep the vehicle on an optimal driving line.
The company also noted the importance of the driver being in the ultimate control of a vehicle, and Toyota announced that it is aiming to introduce AHDA along with other advanced driving support systems that would allow the driver to maintain control as well as the "fun-to-drive" aspect of the controlling the vehicle. Toyota is planning to market AHDA within the next decade, while rolling out other driving support systems as soon as possible to provide increased safety and security on the road.
The company announced that it will begin trials on the Shuto Expressway near the Tokyo metropolitan area beginning October 15, and will exhibit AHDA at the 20th Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress Tokyo 2013. This international conference for intelligent transport systems (ITS) will be held from October 14 to 18.
"These advanced driving support technologies prevent human errors, reduce driving stress and help drivers avert accidents, which has a big potential to reduce the number of traffic deaths," Toyota managing director Moritaka Yoshida said at a presentation in Tokyo, as reported by AFP.
The AHDA has already been in production vehicles for a number of years, and it relies on radar and stereoscopic cameras to detect the speed of the traffic ahead. However, in contrast to the standard radar cruise control - which utilizes millimeter-wave radar to detect other vehicles), Cooperative-adaptive Cruise Control uses 700-MHz band vehicle-to-vehicle ITS communications; and this allows for the car to transmit acceleration and deceleration data from preceding vehicles. This in turn allows subsequent vehicles to adjust the speeds accordingly.
The Lane Trace Control, a completely new Toyota automated driving technology, further employs high-performance cameras and millimeter-wave radar, as well as advanced control software. Together this enables an optimal and smooth driving line at all speeds, and the system can adjust the vehicle's steering angle, driving torque and braking force as necessary to maintain the optimal line within a lane.
Toyota won't be the only cars doing the driving.
Rival Nissan, as well as technology giant Google, are both in a race to beat Toyota to deliver the world's first commercially available driverless vehicle. In August Nissan announced that it will offer several models that utilize a driverless feature by the year 2020. GM, as well as Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler AG, also have autonomous vehicles in the works, which are expected to do the driving on controlled-access highways by 2020.
The racetrack to market will likely get even more crowded in the near future. Auto industry research analyst firm Frost & Sullian noted last week that Google will not likely remain the only non-automotive participant in the market for driverless automobiles.
"Contrary to popular belief, Google's self-driving vehicle project is not going to disrupt the way vehicles are made," said Frost & Sullivan Team Leader Automotive & Transportation Prana T. Natarajan in a statement. "Just as automakers have started adding a socket for an aux-cable or a USB slot, they will ensure that their vehicles are Google-X ready. For that matter, Google may not even be the only non-automotive participant in the space for too long."

Howdy strangers! Its been awhile! Life sometimes has a way of keeping us busy and keeping us from blogging! Things have been wonderfully hectic around here. We have much to be thankful for! We spent a fabulous week at Walt Disney World and then returned to my family arriving for a stay to celebrate Thanksgiving. So much fun and food lately! I thought it would be fun to share some of my photos with you and the projects will start again soon. Projects that I can actually share with you!
I took all these photos with my iPhone (4S). I found its much easier to carry around and less to worry about. And I took an obnoxious ton of pictures with my "real" camera on our first trip! :) And other than size, they are unedited.
We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter again. Love the charm and size of this resort. The boats run to Downtown Disney, making it a fun trip!
Friday night before we left, our son came home sick with a 102.9 fever. We immediately took him to the doctor and got medications. And prescriptions to take with, just in case. Thank goodness for our wonderful doctor and a pharmacy that delivers to your resort at Disney! He missed a couple of days in the park, but we took him out the second night for this...
...The Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights at Hollywood Studios. Photos will never, ever do this light display justice. You must stand on the street and experience it. The lights are constant, but every 5 minutes or so special music begins and the lights dance right along.
The Christmas tree at the center. See the Mickey towards the top? Its slightly hidden. All through the light display are hidden Mickeys. Perfect for little boys. :) I was so glad to have the little man feeling better by this point! This is not to be missed!
And I don't have a good photo, but we bought Glow With the Show ears. Its the traditional ears on a hat, with a twist. The ears light up and interact with the show!! They interacted with the events at Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party too! I highly recommend a pair of them if you go!
Finally feeling better and ready to have fun!
I love that I was able to catch them coming down Splash Mountain! The looks on their faces are priceless!
At the Grand Floridian resort is a massive Gingerbread House. Its beautiful and impressive. The smell is mouthwatering. The chimney works and there is a small store inside where you can purchase chocolate-covered roof shingles. Look at those stats on the left! Wow!
The Safari at Animal Kingdom is one of my absolute favorite rides. Get up and go early and arrive at the park as it opens. Head straight for the Safari. Look at how close you can get to the animals.
Who knew a giraffe was wrinkly? There are also warthogs, lions, ostrich, crocodiles, hippps, rhinos and so much more. Be sure and sit on the edge and not in the middle if you want great photos.
Fabulous food was a constant, but this dinner topped them all for presentation! It was at Yak and Yeti at Animal Kingdom. It was almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
One of a thousand castle photos. I couldn't stop taking photos of its changing lights and hanging icicles for Christmas.
The fireworks exclusive to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party. The party is an evening affair that you need tickets to attend. Hot chocolate and cookies are served, special characters and souvenirs are available, and there is a special parade. The party is the right way to kick off your holiday season! So much magic. Who could imagine it could be any more magical than normal?
Good night and good-bye Disney World!
And then it was Thanksgiving. My mom, dad, sister, and nephew came down. We had a wonderful time together. And I got to shop with my mom and sister! I miss shopping with them since we moved here. This is my son and my new-walker nephew. Could anything be more precious?
Today I am thankful for the adventures and moments in life. For living life. For seeing the beauty that is all around us. For being blessed beyond belief. For being too busy living life and savoring every moment.
thanks for stopping by!

Awkward History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Awkward is for a guard having derived from the Old English word ward, meaning guardian or watchman.
Early Origins of the Awkward family
Northampton, where they held a family seat from ancient times, and the first on record was Osbert de Varde of Givendale in the year 1130, who was a descendant of Fouques de Vardes of Normandy. His descendent Simon Ward was Governor of Pontefract Castle in 1324. Some of the family were found at Barford in Warwickshire. "Barford was for three centuries the residence of the ancestors of Charles Thomas Warde, Esq., now of Clopton, in the county. Of this family was Rowley Warde, an eminent lawyer in the reigns of James and Charles I., commonly called Old Serjeant Warde, and in the parish register styled the Right Worshipful Rowley Warde; who died at the age of 96, about the year 1650. His son, Thomas Warde, barrister at law, served as an officer in the army of Charles at the battle of Edge Hill, and kept the royal flag flying on the top of the church tower here, facing his own house; which caused Cromwell's army after the battle, on its march to Kenilworth Castle, eight miles distant, to fire shots at the tower, the marks of which still remain. Among other relics [in the church of Barford] is a curious tablet of freestone, part of a monument, which the rector, the Rev. William Somerville, has had placed in the wall of the vestry, with this inscription: 'Here lyeth the body of Thomas Warde, Gentleman, parson of Barford, 2d son of Thomas and Martha Warde; he died in 1532.' " [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Another 293 words (21 lines of text) covering the years 1324, 1842, 1845, 1553, 1622, 1572, 1643, 1597, 1659, 1617, 1689, 1629, 1681, 1662, 1681, 1629, 1696, 1680, 1677, 1720, 1710, 1713, 1715, 1638, 1714 and are included under the topic Early Awkward History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Awkward Spelling Variations
spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Ward, Warde, Varde and others.
Early Notables of the Awkward family (pre 1700)
Baron Simon Ward; John Ward (c.1553-1622), a notorious English pirate around the turn of the 17th century; Samuel Ward (1572-1643), an English academic and a master at the University of Cambridge; Andrew Warde (ca 1597-1659), a colonist, judge, farmer, and one of the...

Migration of the Awkward family to Ireland
Some of the Awkward family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 129 words (9 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Awkward family to the New World and Oceana
Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada. Research into the origins of individual families in North America has revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Awkward or a variant listed above: Andrew Ward, who settled in New England in 1630; Elizabeth Ward, who settled in Virginia in 1635; George and Henry Ward, who settled in Boston Massachusetts in 1637.
The Awkward Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Comme je fus
Motto Translation: As I was.

Here's the story of how a structure was built to be a home as told by the owner himself. Here goes the narration:
"I'm Sebastian Joseph. Meet my mother Marykutty, wife Winnie and son Chris. This is our family and we wanted a house. Yes, it now stands in the heart of Kochi on nine cents of land. When it was being built, we were all abroad. We are pretty proud of the fact that we built it on our own without the help of an architect. We had a lot of concepts about our house and all we wanted was to give reality to the dreams we shared.
"Right in front of the plot stood a huge njaval (black jamun tree). We were particular about retaining the tree while building the compound wall. It was quite a daunting task. But we managed to retain it. This necessitated a sliding gate which juts out of the walls. A waste bin was fixed next to the tree. This set up enabled the waste to be collected from outside without anybody having to get in.
"It was a designers' group, which helped us with the basic 3,000 sq ft structure. But as they were unable to get a feel of what we exactly wanted, a lot of undoing had to be done. The interiors have a strong resonance with the Western style. The furniture and all other wood embellishments are of teak wood. A first glimpse will give you the feeling that the living room has no TV for the simple reason that it lies concealed inside a table. When you feel like unwinding, you can grab the remote, raise the TV and watch the shows and once you're done, you can lower it into the table. It was Kochi-based Naushad who built the novel unit at a very reasonable rate.
"The wood paneling in the Scandinavian-style wash area is another highlight of the place. Everything, all the woodwork, except that of the furniture is the handiwork of a local craftsman. The furniture came from the shops as we wanted to avoid any delay in getting them finished.
"As the theme and mood of the house is totally set in white, we did up a lot of woodwork to break the monotony of white. Almost all the rooms, including the kitchen are in the open style. The kitchen cabinets have been done up in acrylic. The countertop is of Korean stone. The family living lies next to the kitchen. You can step out from the family living-kitchen area. The door to the outside has been made secure with a shutter and it's remote-operated.
"This space doubles up as a patio and is another highlight of the house. We have a beautiful seating here. Though everybody mistakes it for wood, it's actually iron, wrapped in wood. The offbeat seating has well succeeded in blocking the view of the well below.
"The space outside the kitchen has been converted into the utility area. The area has been well utilized. Just behind the family living stands an area which in reality is our British pub style bar counter. The place is richly done up with teak wood paneling. As the pub is slightly elevated, you have wooden steps to go up. And there are storage nooks inside the steps. We have our cellar below the wood paneled flooring.
"We were a bit disappointed by the way the staircase railings were designed. They have been done in iron covered with wood. There are four bedrooms in total, up and down. The master bedroom sports a walk-in wardrobe. The flooring is in marble and granite.
"As we are a little short on land area, we have put up a vertical garden on the wall in front of the house. We have not compromised on our security. There are eight cameras around the place. SMS alarms are also there.
"My 1,500 sq ft office stands upstairs. We are planning to go in for solar panels to keep the whole house charged without electricity. We are happy today. We have converted the house to give us comfort, luxury, aesthetics and all other basic needs".

I never had any vaccinations when I was growing up and my children did not have shots for measles or mumps but were exposed to them and had the diseases themselves when they were young. Everyone seems to have done okay. Of course that was many years ago and illegals or strangers bringing diseases into our country was not an issue.
Did they have them back then? ;)
I had my vaccines, and then after I joined the military, many, many more. My yellow card shot record is almost full.
They don't seem to have hurt me.
Measles and mumps can be minor illnesses that last for a week or two and pass by leaving no lasting damage. Or they can leave you blind, sterile or dead.
And the idea that "strangers bringing diseases into our country was not an issue" is also wrong. Epidemics and Pandemics have been both common and deadly through out American history. Yellow Fever, influenza, small pox, polio and cholera out breaks that killed thousands have been recorded in North America since the 1600s.
Several of my childhood friends contracted polio.........
When was that exactly? It has always been an issue, and likely will continue to be for some time.
Immigrants coming over from Europe to Ellis Island on ships like the Titanic and many others went through a program of de-lousing and other efforts at reducing the risk of disease, and were often blamed for bringing diseases with them.

In this best seller in Australia, Flannery, a noted Australian paleontologist, presents alarming evidence of human-induced climate change. Thirty-five short chapters introduce topics ranging from climate history and variability to global warming, El Niño, and the greenhouse effect. Showing how all elements of ecosystems relate (gases, temperatures, ocean currents, animal habitats, etc.), he argues that carbon-dioxide pollution is destroying our environment. Flannery calls for shifting our reliance on fossil fuels to renewable power sources like wind, geothermal, and solar energy. He also castigates the industries and politicians who try to discredit global warming. "If humans pursue a business-as-usual course for the first half of this century," Flannery concludes, "I believe the collapse of civilization due to climate change becomes inevitable."
Atlantic. 352 pages. $24. ISBN: 0871139359
Christian Science Monitor
"It is such honest and spirited writing that makes this book a compelling read, and one that could melt public ambivalence. … But Flannery doesn't leave the reader in hopeless despair." Lori Valigra
Milwaukee Jrnl Sentinel
"[The Weather Makers is] a cogent and readable exposition of global warming, distilling the latest scientific research into easily accessible language." Jack Reardon
Los Angeles Times
"Reading The Weather Makers is like hearing a terrific and powerfully absorbing lecturer on a topic that concerns us all. The moments of confusion, however, tend to undermine Flannery's cause, which, if we are to take what he says in earnest, is too important not to have gotten just right." Mark Svenvold
Chicago Sun-Times
"Nor does Flannery address industry arguments that global warming and its consequences involve so many uncertainties that further research is needed before mandating draconian changes. Rather than refuting such arguments, Flannery simply dismisses them as 'propaganda.'" Jim Ritter
Issues the books compare
This book was reviewed in tandem with Field Notes from a Catastrophe by Elizabeth Kolbert. The books are compared below.
Bucking the trend: Kolbert, claims the Los Angeles Times, "gently but firmly dislodge[s] us from our sense of historical exceptionalism"—that is (and Flannery poses the same argument), we have now reached the point of no return. Kolbert points out that a 2-mile-long, 400,000-year-old ice-core sample from Antarctica reveals that today's levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are approaching new highs. Flannery writes that while global warming occurs naturally, temperatures are now increasing 30 times faster than ever recorded.
Your SUV and the U.S. President: Both authors blame the rise in carbon dioxide and methane emissions on us—and our use of oil and coal. "The 20th century opened on a world that was home to little more than a billion people and closed on a world of 6 billion," Flannery writes, "and every one of those 6 billion is using on average four times as much energy as their forefathers did 100 years before." Critics agree that Kolbert's most interesting chapters address how ExxonMobil, General Motors, lobbying groups, and the United States (which, along with Australia, has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol) manipulate and deflect information presented by climate scientists.
The good news: Only the Chicago Sun-Times saw the benefits of global warming for some regions—and criticized Flannery for downplaying them. "Higher carbon dioxide levels might increase crop yields. Canada and Russia could enjoy longer growing seasons and the ice-choked Northwest Passage might become navigable." That's one way of looking at it.
The bad news: Global warming is, and will continue to be, a major player in geopolitics. Flannery cites as an example the struggle in Darfur. Carbon dioxide emissions exacerbated aridity, which, in turn, led to migration, competition, and genocide. While this causal chain convinced most reviewers, the Los Angeles Times questioned Flannery's faith in our ability to alter our behavior. Kolbert pessimistically believes that we're destroying ourselves. "She is not optimistic," says the New York Times, "in large part because it appears that Anthropocene man can't be counted on to do the right thing."
Critical Summary
Kolbert's and Flannery's arguments, evidence, and conclusions should surprise few readers. Given existing scientific knowledge, neither author (and no critic) doubts that global warming is real, with terrible consequences looming ahead.
The difference between the books largely comes down to tone and style. Kolbert, a reporter for the New Yorker, provides an excellent primer on climate change. Praised for her elegance and accessibility, she offers a loose travelogue with "the clearest view yet of the biggest catastrophe we have ever faced" (Los Angeles Times). She takes her science seriously—from sulfate droplets to recarbonization—and rarely lets her belief in impending catastrophe cloud her objectivity. Flannery's book may appeal more to activists. However, the Chicago Sun-Times thought that his passionate clarion call to action undermined sound arguments; others criticized scattered information and incomplete discussion on ways individuals can counteract climate change. Still, like Kolbert, Flannery elucidates complex concepts in climatology, paleontology, and economics. In the end, both books ask a crucial question: "Will we be lauded by future generations for heeding the advice of our best scientific minds, or remembered hereafter as counterexamples—as paragons of hubris, of a colossal failure of the imagination?"

I try not to judge but this just pissed me off!!
My friend and I have known each other for over 5 years. For as long as she can remember, doctors told her that she wasn't able to get pregnant......something having to do with her cervix.....or ovaries. I'm not sure.
Anyhow........she got together with her, now, husband and they got pregnant. I thought that, right there, was a miracle.
So all throughout her pregnancy she was telling me how she was going to breastfeed.
Her and her husband don't have a lot of money since they take care of her step daughter and her younger sister.
She has a big family and her family is there for support and we gave her a baby shower and she got a lot of nice things for the baby. And her family helps her out when they can. They bought her things for the baby throughout her pregnancy.
I told her since my son is 7 months old that I would give her his clothes since she was having a baby boy.
Well she had her baby last week.
This is the part that pisses me off, not only did she smoke throughout her entire pregnancy but as soon as she got home from the hospital she put her son on formula.
She breastfed while in the hospital telling me she was going to continue breastfeeding when she was home.
Nothing is wrong with her or the baby that would cause her to stop. Nothing!! They are totally healthy.
I never once said a word to her about how much I'm against pregnant women who smoke and women who decide to formula feed just because they want to.
I don't plan on telling her. Like I said in my title I try really hard not to judge but this whole thing just pisses me off!!
The thing that is really sad is this is her MIRACLE baby and this is the shit she is doing to him. If I had a miracle baby, I would take the extra step to make sure that he would be as healthy as possible. Because she smoked throughout her pregnancy, now there's a high risk of that baby having asthma.
I'm so pissed at her, not only will I NOT give her my sons clothes, but I refuse to be her friend any longer!! She doesn't deserve it because she is selfish!!
Vent over.
much better =)

I fixed your spelling error for you.Quoting Anonymous:
Ok so she has a miracle baby...and your mad shes not breast feeding...when did you become the babys mom?? Its non of your business what she should or shouldnt do...instead of being thrilled for her having a baby you want to be a Bitch..WOW!! I wouldnt want you as a friend...or mom!!!!
Smoking was her choice, just as formula feeding is her choice, and it isn't selfish. You can judge her all you want, but it doesn't make you any better than her. Witholding your son's clothing and refusing to be her friend is childish and it makes you look selfish. A friend accepts another friend with flaws and everything. If this little piece of her life is so hard for you to get over, she's better off without you as a friend.
Uhhh wow. How she feeds her child is none of your concern. I wonder if she knows how much of a super bitch you are.
Wow. First, the smoking was bad yea, but you seem to be more upset about the formula... where the fuck are your moral priorities?
Second, you're a horrible friend and she's probably lucky you want nothing more to do with her; seriously, you know she's not got much money, but because she wont feed her kid the way you think she should you wont give him clothes that you don't need anymore? Selfish.
Third, saying "I try not to judge" doesn't negate the fact that you're a judgmental twat. No different from saying "No offence, but you're kinda ugly" lol.
I feel smoking during pregnancy is pretty selfish, but not formula feeding. One is taking a definite chance of causing harm and the other isn't. Either way, it is not the "friend's" business. She shouldn't be so caught up in the other person's choices.

You sound VERY judgemental. She is the mother, it is up to to decide how and what to feed her child. And she doesn't have report to you or owe you an explanation. If only ppl worried about their own kids like they do everyone elses

Hello I have got an HTS9140 on January. The latest issue that made me register in the forum is that it cannot play any disk now. It loads for long time and eventually it displays "unknown disk", at all the dvds I have tried, all of them were playing normally yesterday. Should I bring this with local service under the warranty?
Next issue is that I cannot update it. It has been last updated with the March update and now I have connected 3 portable HDDs and 2 USB sticks. I have placed the update in the root folder however it displays "update not found". I have tried several times without success.
Another issue is that there is no video (audio plays) with some AVI or MKV files. It displays that video format not supported. The question here is which formats are supported? For example it does not play the following video (as per MKVtoolnix log)
The 4th issue is that the browse USB menu does not list the files alphabetically at the folders sub-menu. Any idea why is that?Code:
"D:\My Docs\Tools\MKVtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "G:\\My Videos\\Video_11.mkv" "--language" "1:eng" "--track-name" "1:1280x720 @ 5900 Kbps" "--default-track" "1:yes" "--forced-track" "1:no" "--display-dimensions" "1:1280x720" "--language" "2:eng" "--track-name" "2:DTS Core 5.1 @ 1.5 Mbps" "--default-track" "2:yes" "--forced-track" "2:no" "--language" "3:eng" "--default-track" "3:yes" "--forced-track" "3:no" "-a" "2" "-d" "1" "-s" "3" "-T" "--no-global-tags" "--no-chapters" "G:\\My Videos\\Video_11.mkv" "--track-order" "0:1,0:2,0:3"
5th and final issue is that when I play MKV files and I press the backwards button, then although it shows that it is goes backwards at a X2 speed, in reality it jumps backwards very quick, almost X32. I can see that in the seconds that skips.

Cotton Report 198757
The Cotton Report is one of several commodity-based agricultural research reports published by the University of Arizona.
This report, along with the Forage and Grain Report, was established by Hank Brubaker, Extension Agronomist, after seeing a similar report published by Texas A&M University in the mid-1970's.
The purpose of the report is to provide an annual research update to farmers, researchers, and those in the agricultural industry. The research is conducted by University of Arizona and USDA-ARS scientists.
Both historical and current Cotton Reports have been made available in the UA Campus Repository as part of a collaboration between the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the University Libraries.
Other commodity-based agricultural research reports available in the UA Campus Repository include:
Citrus Reports | Forage & Grain Reports | Sugarbeet Reports | Turfgrass Reports | Vegetable Reports

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Connecticut's youngest players have the Huskies back in an old and familiar spot.
Freshmen Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck combined for 35 points as UConn advanced to its eighth straight women's basketball regional final with a 76-50 blowout over Maryland on Saturday.
"I think we were 16 for 28 from the floor, our freshmen," UConn Coach Geno Auriemma said. "One turnover between the three of them. I thought they were the key to the game today for sure."
Stewart and sophomore Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis each had 17 points to lead the Huskies (32-4). Stewart also had eight rebounds and four blocked shots.
Jefferson made several key defensive stops, and her two fast-break layups capped a 9-0 run to start the second half, giving UConn a 44-26 lead.
"We got in a nice offensive flow," she said. "Once the transition game came, then the offensive flow was right there."
Her layup midway through the second half stretched the lead to 60-38. She finished with 10 points and Tuck had eight as the Huskies' bench outscored Maryland's, 25-0.
"They didn't play like freshmen at all," center Stefanie Dolson said. "They came out confident and ready to play. They knew what they needed to do for our team and what they can do."
Two-time ACC player of the year Alyssa Thomas was held to 13 for Maryland (26-8). Tianna Hawkins and Chloe Pavlech each had 11 points.
The Huskies will play Kentucky on Monday night in a rematch of last year's regional final.
KENTUCKY 69, DELAWARE 62: Jennifer O'Neill scored 19 points and A'dia Mathies added 16 as the second-seeded Wildcats (30-5) ended the stellar career of Delaware's Elena Delle Donne.
Delle Donne had 33 points for Delaware (32-4) and finished her career as the fifth all-time leading scorer in NCAA history with 3,039 points. She passed Cheryl Miller, Chamique Holdsclaw and Maya Moore in her final game.
Kentucky led by 14 in the second half before the Blue Hens cut it to 62-60 with 2:47 left on a jumper by Delle Donne.
But Kastine Evans calmly responded with a 3-pointer from the top of the key to make it 65-60.
GEORGIA 61, STANFORD 59: Jasmine Hassell scored six of her 13 points in the final three minutes and the fourth-seeded Bulldogs (28-6) upset the top-seeded Cardinal (33-3) at Spokane, Wash., to reach the regional final for the first time since 2004.
Jasmine James led Georgia with 16 points, including a pair of free throws with 23.5 seconds left that gave the Bulldogs a 60-56 lead.
Chiney Ogwumike led Stanford with 26 points but was held to eight in the second half. Stanford was seeking its sixth straight trip to the Final Four.

A/N: Hey all hope you enjoy this latest piece. It's a rather random abstract of an idea that wouldn't quit bugging me until I wrote it. So keeping it short and simple, please R&R and let me know what you think.
It started with a smile. A smile she'd seen a hundred times before, but this time as his head tilted and his lips upturned, she felt she was truly noticing it, him, for the first time. He'd been one of the first fairies she'd ever met and been a steadfast friend since, yet as he flashed that easy smile her way; she couldn't help how her breath hitched. Had he really always been this beautiful? He didn't hold the classic, sweet complexion and stature that other sparrowmen did she thought, her mind straying to the likes of Terrence. But he was beautiful in many other ways she thought, his wild and untameable chestnut hair springing in all directions, it really did look a mess, yet lent him a innocent and carefree charm that not many others would able to pull off. Then there were his eyes. Enhanced by his dewdrop goggles, his own unqiue feature and invention, they made the vibrant blue of his eyes truly stand out. Of course she thought recalling her first trip to the workshop; his eyes looked beautiful without the goggles too, remembering how wide they'd gone in admiration that they'd popped, spilling the dewdrops down his shirt as he'd kept on staring at her. Funny, how she'd not thought much of that at the time and how quick she thought of it now. Still looking up into those eyes she thought a girl could easily get lost in those eyes if she stared long enough and indeed she had she realised. He was looking at her strangely now as she blushed lightly, that was a bit embarassing.
He stood a little taller than her, just enough that she had to tilt her head to look up at him. Her head could easily rest on his shoulder or reach up to kiss him she thought fleetingly. The thought of kissing had never really crossed her mind or that of many others she thought until the act was witnessed between their leaders Queen Clarion and Lord Milori a few seasons ago. It had looked nice and she wondered if it would feel that way if she were to press her lips to his. Would they be as soft as they looked?
He was looking intently at her now, a delicate blush of his own spreading across his cheeks as her eyes lingered on his lips, a contemplative look on her face as her lips parted.
His eyes roved over her visage, drinking in the sight of her. As always he found her breath-taking, her perfect heart shaped face with smooth sun-kissed skin; golden tresses swept back to reveal dazzling cornflower blue eyes that held him captivated. Such sweet, innocent eyes, so often filled with wonder or lit with a spark of ingenuity, now held a different look about them, one he found he could not place, but had his heart beating a little faster in his chest regardless.
His gaze dropped to her lips that so often graced her angelic face with a sure, bright smile, lightening the hearts of many and warming his own.
She swallowed nervously before raising her head, looking deeply into his eyes before breathily she whispered, "Phineas..."
Such a beautiful sound it was, his name, his real name pouring from those sweet lips. He'd never thought she would look at him like this, yet here she was, her delicate little hands sliding up his leaf tunic, trembling ever so slightly as she looked at him, nervous at her actions and anxious of his own.
His hands reached out for her, pulling her closer. He held her tightly, barely daring to believe this was real as slowly he drew them together. Their noses brushed and they waited, hot breath fanning onto their faces. They coud still pull back, but he hoped, he hoped she wouldn't. To hold her so close and never know the touch of her now would be torture.
Her hooded eyes beckoned him further as she lent forward to close the distance between them, entreating him to kiss her, reaching forward he sealed their lips together. It was gentle and sweet; her lips as soft as he'd always imagined they'd be. It was a chaste kiss, lasting only a few moments before they broke apart, their hearts racing, breathing ragged and eyes blown wide. Then slowly he felt himself smile tenderly at her as she smiled in return. He really did have a beautiful smile.
So what do you think? Reviews and feedback are appreciated.

Toshiba, Comments, & Alcott
So, I haven't been on the computer as much as I normally am lately, partly because it's summer and I've been spending most of my time outside, but also partly because I don't have a laptop at the moment. Well, I do have one, and it's a lovely machine called Henry that's functioned perfectly for more than 4 years now, but its particular type of power cord is known for sudden and irreversible failure after the first couple years. The new cord I bought in January stopped working last week and is on its way to Toshiba now to be replaced, but until the new one comes I'm relying on the library for internet access. Incidentally, this library is severely over-air-conditioned, which means this will probably be a short entry as I want to get outside into the warm.
We've been picking up spam comments on the blog, which I will soon figure out how to delete entirely (they're nothing but links to virus-laden websites), but I wanted to share their opening lines with you, dear readers, because they are oh-so-philosophical. So far, we have: "Constant dripping wears away the stone." "Variety is the very spice of life." (Not just the spice of life, my friends, but the "very" spice of life!) And, my particular favorite, "Make yourself necessary to someone."
Full disclosure: I do not like Little Women. I don't like its simplistic prose, easy morality, or pollyanna approach to war and poverty. Not a bad 19th century children's book, I suppose, but I really don't see what made it one of those classics we're all supposed to think of with warm affection and appreciation. It sits squarely in the mental box labeled "Not My Thing," along with all Apple products, beer, and early-morning classes.
That's why when I learned that Louisa May Alcott also wrote sensational thrillers, I was a bit surprised. I suspect, though I don't actually remember, that my jaw may have actually dropped. So when I found this at a used book store, I got very excited:
Check out that cover! The debossed lettering! The dark mysterious image! The tagline & NYT Bestseller banner! You can't see it, but it was blurbed by Stephen King! You wouldn't think that it had first been published more than 100 years ago, would you?
Actually, you'd be right. This novel, despite being written two years before Little Women, was rejected by publishers and didn't see the light of day again until just a few years ago, when it was revived and (finally) published as Alcott originally wrote it. The publisher's reason for rejecting it was that it was "too sensational," even after Alcott toned it down and resubmitted it. Scandalous!
Or maybe not. Thing is, even a too-hot-for-periodicals story written in 1866 depends a lot for its shock value on 1866's common knowledge and common social conventions*. When it's revealed that a marriage was performed by an actor rather than by a real minister, it doesn't have the same impact on a reader in 2010 as it would have had on Alcott's publishers. Likewise, it's probably harder for a reader today to understand the profound trauma the protagonist experiences when she finds out, and her subsequent dilemmas may not seem like "that big a deal" if you're not familiar with the severely limited prospects available to her.
That doesn't make it less fun to read, though. Seriously, this is a terrifically exciting little novel made that much better by a strong, independent female lead with a complex interior life and a strikingly accurate portrait of an emotionally abusive relationship that never bothers with the "stalking is okay, 'cause he's showing how much he loves her" treatment that contemporary lit & movies traffic in way too often.**
And if that doesn't get you, how about secret wives, murder, asylums, convents, sexy priests, corrupt priests, international intrigue, and shipwreck? Yeah, it's pretty great.
Which is why it's sad that Alcott had to switch to the sentimental morality tale to make money, because that's how we get stuck with things like Little Women. March, a 2006 novel by Geraldine Brooks that revisits Little Women and re-imagines it from the perspective of Mr. March, who spends the year during which the book takes place away as a chaplain in the Civil War.
This is a book that could almost make me appreciate LW by giving some substance and context to its events and characters. By filling in a backstory for Mr. March and Marmee, Brooks takes the flat figures of Alcott's novel and giving them depth, showing them struggle with each other and with social expectations, react to slavery and the war, and grow and change as people. She also situates their intellectual life in the context of people like Henry David Thoreau and John Brown, who both make appearances.
I don't know how differently I would have read March if I wasn't familiar with LW. I think it does stand alone, that is, you don't have to be familiar with Alcott to understand it.*** I probably wouldn't have liked it less-it was a very rewarding read, compelling and occasionally poetic-but I might have appreciated it less. Reading it in contrast with LW highlights how much Mr. March may have hid from his family, how much real suffering coincided with the sort-of-suffering the girls experienced in LW. It gave me a sense of the world beyond the March home that I think would improve LW for me if I read it again (no plans to, though).
*This is a time when pregnancy in a novel is revealed by things like a character's "increasingly womanly bearing" or the sudden appearance of a baby, and hand-holding is supposed to register as kinda sorta steamy, depending on who's doing the holding.
**I'm looking at you, Twilight.
***As opposed to something like Wide Sargasso Sea, which gives a backstory to Jane Eyre's Bertha Mason. I think WSS really loses something when read apart from JE, because it calls attention to the silencing of Bertha in Bronte's novel and the appropriation of her story into a plot twist in someone else's. But I read JE many times before I read WSS, so I could be totally wrong there.

Although it appears NY-26 GOP leaders are coalesing around Assemblywoman Jane Corwin to run for former Rep. Chris Lee's seat, Iraq War veterans are lobbying on behalf of another would-be candidate: David Bellavia.
Kieran Michael Lalor, founder of the Iraq Veterans for Congress PAC, send a fundraising appeal this week on Bellavia's behalf, calling him "the real deal" and "an authentic hero," noting he was nominated for the Medal of Honor and Distinguisehed Service Cross and was awarded the Silver Star for his actions during the Second Battle for Fallujah.
Bellavia also received the Bronze Star, three Army Commendation Medals and two Army Achievement Medals, Lalor said.
"As a decorated veteran, David Bellavia has demonstrated selfless service to country. As a principled conservative he is right on the issues," Lalor wrote.
"The special election will be held in just a few weeks and we need to make sure that this dynamic and honorable man has the resources he needs to win."
Lalor himself ran for Congress in 2008. He lost that year to Democratic incumbent Rep. John Hall, who was toppled this year by Republican Rep. Nan Hayworth.
The NY-26 Republicans have set up a screening process to select a candidate for the yet-to-be-called special election. The final interviews will take place this Sunday.
According to the Lockport Journal, the GOP leaders extended an invitation to Bellavia to interview. Others who will be screened include: Corwin and Amherst Town Supervisor Barry Weinstein.

Becks wants to set football academy in AsiaJuly 12th, 2008 - 4:59 pm ICT by ANI
London, July 12 (ANI): Former England soccer captain David Beckham is keen on opening a football academy or academies in Asia some day.
"I would love to have different academies in different places. Having academies in Asia is now a possibility. We are already looking at it. I am aiming to have as many around the world as possible, he said.
The England superstar currently has academies in both Greenwich and Los Angeles and is to open a new one in Brazil at the end of 2009, reports The Sun.
"To have two, with another coming up, makes me feel very lucky," he adds.
He has dreams of producing a future football hero, someone who would follow in his footsteps.
Now 33, Becks was once spotted at the Bobby Charlton Soccer School before being signed by Manchester United.
"It would be great if a player made the Premiership in 10 years" time or played for their country and then did a TV interview and said they went to the David Beckham Academy. I"d be very proud, he said.
"I love working with kids and it is a case of giving them a safe place to go and to learn about different things. We have one in London, one here in LA and, hopefully, in a year-and-a-half, one in Brazil, he said.
Beckham has four years of a five-year deal to run with LA Galaxy, but has ruled out a move into management when he quits.
While he is likely to spend more time on his academies, Becks is unlikely to complete the coaching badges, which would enable him to take charge of a top club.
"Players who get coaching badges want to go into management. I have never wanted to go into management at any stage of my career. It is not something I am really passionate about, he said.
Beckham''s academy near the O2 Arena opened in 2005. The largest sporting facility of its kind in Europe, it has a massive indoor area housing two full-sized, artificially turfed pitches alongside a state-of-the-art education and administration centre.
Boys and girls aged from 8-15 are able to participate in one, three or five-day programmes that run throughout the year.
The academy also runs a successful schools programme that consists of a training day linked with Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 learning.
So far more than 10,000 children have taken part. (ANI)

Yard yahoos, unite: The Home Depot carries seven out of 10 top-rated walk-behind mowers on the market, as rated by an independent testing lab. And we are the exclusive carrier of three of the top brands among large retailers.
What's so great about our lawn mowers? In addition to hitting the high notes in the ratings, our customers have rave reviews. Here are three of the top-rated lawn mowers, all exclusively at The Home Depot—and why they rock.
This Home Depot-exclusive Honda lawn mower, which made the top 10, got high marks because of its blade technology, which results in better mulching, increased bag capacity and tiny grass clippings that add nutrients to the lawn, and for its Nexite Deck Design. And the mower mavens in the trenches are definitely impressed.
"I bought a new mower because my previous one was not equipped with a mulching blade. This new model gives me all of the options of bagging, partially bagging or mulching. Also gives me more speed adjustments than my previous model. Fabulous."
–bls1025 on homedepot.com
"After doing a lot of research, this is the best mower you can buy. It is very simple to operate and I even like the longer reach for getting under several juniper trees. The speed selection, ease of changing between bagging and mulching and excellent leaf removal make this mower a great value."
–Frohicky on homedepot.com
This Toro lawn mower is a hit in the ratings because it leaves fewer clippings on top of the grass when mulching and has a larger bag size—and customers love the ease of use.
"The old mower was unbalanced, heavy and difficult to use. Almost too heavy for its own self-propel system. The Toro is much easier to use and feels light when mowing. The 'Personal Pace' feature is unique and only requires you to push forward on the handle. No levers to pull."–NativeTexan on homedepot.com
"The self-propulsion feature of this mower is revolutionary in that it goes at your pace. The mower starts easily on either the first or second pull and there are no operator engine controls to worry with i.e. throttle, choke, etc."
–JimT on homedepot.com
This Lawn Boy mower, another Home Depot exclusive, topped out in the ratings, chosen because it takes less effort to start and turn. Customers praise the quality for the price, too.
"Over the past 22 years, I have owned two Lawn Boy mowers and they have always performed exceptionally well. After months of research, I debated between another top seller that was much higher priced than Lawn Boy. I read review after review of both and dollar for dollar, Lawn Boy is the best value for your money."
–Jayhawk on homedepot.com
"Very nice mower. Came all together, extremely easy to set up and use. Almost pushes itself. Highly recommended. And you can't beat the price."
–Tami on homedepot.com
Here are the 7/10 Best Rated Mowers Available at The Home Depot:
1. Honda 21 in. Smart Drive Variable Speed Self-Propelled Deck Mower GCV190
2. Honda 21 in. Steel Deck Blade Stop System Smart Drive Gas Mower GCV160
3. Honda 21 in. Nexite Deck Blade Stop System Cruise Control Gas Mower GCV190
4. Honda 21 in. Steel Deck Smart Drive Variable Speed Self-Propelled Gas Mower
5. Toro 22 in. Personal Pace with Blade Stop System Self-Propelled Mower
6. Toro 22 in. Personal Pace Recycler Variable Speed Self-Propelled Gas Mower

Calvin Finch: Versatile hollies
Published 12:20 pm, Friday, June 21, 2013
Hollies can fill a niche in landscapes as foundation plantings, in shrub borders or as hedges.
Most hollies are evergreen and drought-tolerant once established. Here are some of the evergreen hollies that can be used in sun or shade in your landscape.
Dwarf Chinese holly grows in a mound shape. It may reach 3 feet tall in good soil but is more likely to grow to about 30 inches tall.
The leaves are kelly green with square sides and short thorns. People are less likely to cut through planting beds where these are growing. The thorns are formidable enough that the deer in my neighborhood do not eat dwarf Chinese holly.
Deer do not usually eat dwarf yaupon holly either, but it is because of the foliage's chemistry. Dwarf yaupon holly has thornless gray-green foliage. The leaves are only three-quarters of an inch around. The plant grows to about 4 feet tall, and it maintains its disciplined globe shape with little pruning.
Dwarf Burford holly grows to 5 feet tall on most sites. It has shiny dark green foliage. In winter, dwarf Burford holly produces attractive red berries that eventually are eaten by cardinals, mockingbirds and other songbirds. Unfortunately deer will also eat Burford holly.

Standard Burford holly has a larger leaf than the dwarf variety and grows to 8 feet tall. It also makes a compact shrub and, because of its height, makes an excellent medium-sized hedge when planted 6 feet apart.
Standard yaupon holly is quite versatile. We usually select hollies because of their predictable uniform growth that rarely requires pruning. Standard yaupon is the favorite choice of a plant for medium height or tall sculpturing, the most demanding pruning. Without cutting back, it will form a multistem shrub that grows to 25 feet tall, but it can be pruned to an espalier, single stem tree, or any other shape.
Female standard yaupon produces small red berries that are a favorite winter food source for landscape birds. Deer do not eat either yaupon.

More Information
This week in the garden
Consider sowing cosmos seed for a heat- and sun-tolerant flower that will grow in flowerbeds and even vacant lots. They bloom in many colors, but yellow and gold and are the showiest and toughest.
As the summer progresses, dry spots are more likely to appear in your lawn. Rather than increasing the time you run sprinklers on the whole lawn, hand water the few small dry spots in between irrigation applications.
Summer is usually not the best time to prune trees unless the trees are live oaks. Pruning live oaks in the hottest part of the summer reduces the chance of oak wilt infection.
Because of our heavy soils, newly planted trees and shrubs have limited root growth in dry, hot weather. Water the plants by hand at the base to make sure the root ball receives adequate water.

Southern Exposure, a restaurant merging southern style comfort food with Caribbean touches, opened Saturday in Tacoma's Sixth Avenue neighborhood. The restaurant is adjacent to Marrow Kitchen Bar in a space most recently occupied by It's Amore/Pastiche, which closed in May 2013.
Southern Exposure is the venture of two sisters – Gloria Gentry and Angela Hernandez. The sisters previously dabbled in starting a catering company (it never fully materialized), but this is their first restaurant.
Hernandez described the menu as a blend of casual southern comfort eating merged with her husband's Puerto Rican heritage. The sisters grew up in North Carolina and have designed a menu offering that state's most famous dish – pulled pork sandwiches topped with slaw.
Sixth Avenue already is home to southern cooking – Southern Kitchen has operated near that oddly shaped intersection at Sixth and Sprague for two decades.
More Sixth Avenue news: In case you missed my story last week, the Tacoma dessert company Ice Cream Social is opening a storefront in June on Sixth Avenue. The Red Hot, a craft beer tavern with a menu of hot dogs, is in the final weeks of its move next door. Read more here.

Princess Morag had guessed that the first six months of having 'two under two' would be the most challenging. Having survived them she hopes that she was right and that the path is a little easier from now on. The little maiden intially struggled to gain weight, but mummy's milk won in the end and has bestowed her with endearing chubbiness although she remains petite.
Master Ryan is a big fan of his wee sister and happily the feeling seems to be mutual. He has a smile for her even when he is feeling at his most poorly and nothing else will cheer him. Princess Morag is delighted that they are a blessing to one another and prays that their close bond will endure forever.
Winter should be a season for hibernation as far as Princess Morag is concerned, unfortunately her children didn't seem to realise this, but as the days grow longer the desire for sleep is not quite so strong. It would still be very welcome, but seeing the sun is some recompense.
Soon, the sun will be shining down on the family in California when the Princess, Sir Rianus, Master Ryan and the little maiden make a long journey to visit The Grandparents. Much time is currently being spent in positive anticipation of this vacation. Most of it revolves around pleasant weather, eating lots of food, seeing friends and family and shopping. When possible the Princess is practising how to relax in preparation for perhaps having a little time off courtesy of The Grandparents.
Princess Morag moved to a new realm with her husband Sir Rianus Renfroana in 2011. She used to spend her days aiding people in their quality of life in her capacity as an Occupational Therapist but now is concentrating on helping the young Master develop all his life skills and trying to teach him to be gentle towards his younger maiden sister.
