BOSTON, Mass.--Olivia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) registered a program-record tying 33 points and 14 different players scored to lead UMass Boston women's basketball (4-1) to a 79-41 rout of Mount Ida College (2-5) in the Beacons' home opener Tuesday evening at the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium.
Murphy enjoyed one of the most efficient games in UMass Boston history, knocking down a program-record 15 made field goals on just 22 attempts and tying the school record for points in just 26 minutes of play. The sophomore forward matched Carolyn Lewis ('82) and Jamila Gales' ('03) mark for the most points in a single-game at 12:41 of the second half, before sitting for the rest of the contest. She also added 12 rebounds for her fourth double-double in five games.
Junior Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) recorded a season-high eight points and six rebounds off the bench, while senior Shelby Buck (Greenfield, Mass.) knocked down two three-pointers in her first home game in over two years at the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium.
Point guard Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.) added a season-high seven assists in 20 minutes, while freshman Shyanne Wellington (Springfield, Mass.) recorded the first points of her career, with a late basket and also chipped in with five rebounds.
Angelique Martinez and Abbey Fedigan led the Mustangs with 10 points apiece. Martinez added a team-high nine rebounds for Mount Ida College who saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.
After a slow first half, UMass Boston earned the comfortable win behind some suffocating defense, as they held the Mustangs to just 21.4 percent (6-of-28) shooting from the field in the second half. For the game, the Beacons knocked down 43.1 percent of their shots, compared to just 29 percent for the visitors.
Mount Ida did manage to keep it close on the board (49-38), a year after losing the rebounding battle 72-31; but they couldn't overcome a huge difference in bench output, as the UMass Boston bench outscored Mount Ida 31-0, with all but one player recording at least two points.
UMass Boston jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first 3:08, as Elisa Ogawa (Yamanashi, Japan) and Murphy knocked down layups, before Perra drained one of the Beacons' five 3-pointers on the day.
The Mustangs managed to cut it to three just minutes later but a 15-4 run powered by six points apiece from Murphy and Buck would put the game out of hand for good at 24-10. UMass Boston would head into the break with a 38-24 lead behind a 4-0 run from Murphy and carried that momentum into the second stanza.
The Beacons opened the second half with another flurry, as Murphy recorded 13 of the Beacons' first 15 points to push the lead to 53-30 at the 12:41 mark.
UMass Boston's bench took over from there, as the hosts outscored the Mustangs 26-11 the rest of the way.
The Beacons will open conference play Saturday at 1 p.m. when they host first-place Keene State College at the Clark Athletic Center Gymnasium. UMass Boston earned a regular-season sweep of the Owls last season for the first time in program-history.

Does Scouting have a measurable, positive impact in the character development of young people? In a Tufts University study released in October 2015, youth who participated in Scouts were compared to those who had not. After 3 years it was discovered Scouts were significantly and measurably kinder, more helpful, cheerful, trustworthy, obedient and hopeful than non-Scouts.
Doesn't it make sense then, that those who wish to be adult Scout leaders should apply themselves to becoming well-versed in the mission, values, aims and methods of this great movement? The more effective we adults are at delivering the program, the more positive results we will see among our youth.

It is necessarily marked with import markings, PW Arms, Redmond, WA, neatly on the right side of its slide. Italian Date Code is AD, made in 1978 for the Israeli Police by Pietro Beretta in Gardone, Italy. The Israelis, by the way, have long respected the penetration qualities of the .32 ACP rounds, something Americans are only just now learning, since ammunition for that caliber is now available in high velocity European type loads. On this specimen of this rare pistol, surface detractions are only moderate amount of whitening on some of its sharp edges and sides of its slide; and extensive moderate scouring on the original Italian walnut factory grip panels, as the photos show. We rate it as Very Good, since no more than 20 percent of its surfaces are affected by our estimate; photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. It is certainly excellent mechanically. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. Factory specs are traditional double- and single- action semi automatic pistol – double action on a first shot from resting hammer position, then short-pull single action in the five pound range on subsequent shots. Ambidextrous frame-mounted safety lever is earlier style and does not de-cock the pistol. It can be carried, then, with safety on and hammer down for double action first shot, or with safety on and hammer fully cocked in single action mode. Trigger is .350 serrated face with overtravel stop, and .250 serrated rounded commander style hammer. The safe way to de-cock is to remove the magazine, remove the round from the barrel, and then let the hammer down with the trigger. The 81-W comes with firing pin safety, but no magazine safety like its Browning cousins. Frame is lightweight alloy. Barrel is 3 3/4 inch chrome lined, and it and the slide and internal parts are steel. Finish is blue on the steel parts, and black anodized on the alloy, same as the big brother 92-F. Sights are white dot front and single white dot notched rear, drift adjustable for windage. Slide thickness is 1.062 inches; height is 4 3/4 inches from the top of the rear sight to the floorplate of an in-battery magazine. Maximum overall length is 6 5/8 inches; and weight empty is 24 ounces. The 81 Cheetah is one of the best pointing, accurate, and failure-free pistols there is; and we are in stock on plenty of .32 ACP ammo at prices close to what they were in 2008 before the election. Magazine capacity is 12+1. Replacement pricing on the similar 84-F .380 Pistols in our area is upwards of $800 apiece. We're offering the distinguished Israeli-Italian 81-W .32 in the photos, however, for only $ 359.00. Not transferable to civilians in California, District of Columbia, or Massachusetts. For any buyers in jurisdictions like Hawaii, New York, or Puerto Rico where the 12 round magazines are restricted $40 off but no magazine. Buyer can take any number of extra 12 round mags @ $69 per. A Model 84 .380 10 shot mag will work most of the time, 1 stovepipe out of 24 rounds in our experience. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $12 lower 48; $40 AK, HI, PR, USPS Priority. 7 day money back on used items, but No Returns on NIB, Lay-away, or Ammo.

Lyle Overbay, 1B
Alex Rios, RF
Vernon Wells, CF
Frank Thomas, DH
Troy Glaus, 3B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Gregg Zaun, C
John McDonald, SS

PITCHING: RHP Kelvim Escobar (14-6, 2.85 ERA)
NOTES: Another day, the same lineup. Manager John Gibbons said on Saturday that he's enjoyed having a healthy lineup, so he doesn't have to mix and match the order as much as he had to earlier this year. That's why this has somewhat become the standard lineup. … Other than that, and that's a note about nothing really, there's nothing really new today. Rios still hasn't homered since July 23 — a span of 114 at-bats. … GM J.P. Ricciardi did say on Saturday that he "has every intention" of bringing Matt Stairs back in 2008. … Not every quote from Zaun made it into yesterday's notes, either. Here's one gem he offered, when asked about his suffering on-base percentage: "That's a combination of not getting as many hits and it's also a biproduct of the situations that I'm hitting in. I could be selfish. I could go up there and swing at the first pitch like a lot of our guys do, but I don't play that kind of game." Burn.
entering Sunday
1. Seattle 73-54 (–)
2. New York 72-57 (2)
3. Detroit 69-60 (5)
4. Minnesota 66-63 (8)

REALITY CHECK…Since 1995, the runner-up in the AL Wild Card race has finished with an average of 89 victories. The Blue Jays would need to go 25-8 over their final 33 games to reach 90 wins.

Zaun's comments
How not to win friends and influence people; that was an obvious swipe at Wells. Personally, I think these guys would all hit better if they swung at the first pitch sometimes.
For the life of me, I can't imagine how any guy hitting .094 in the last 10 games feels he has a right to take a swipe at anyone.
Every player that shot his mouth off in the last three years Zaun made himself the spokesman,Now it seems like he's running off at the mouth big time, But one thing you might notice he's still hitting in the 8 hole.
Zaun the mouth had his chance and blew it now what will he say,I was thinking of all the money I'm being paid for nothing *******.
He had two chances to knock in the tying run-whiffed both times. That throw he made to Glaus missed 3rd base by 15 feet, and allowed the 3rd run to score.
Of course-that was Macdonald's fault.
Well folks there was only 4 comments on yesterdays game 2 by me and 2 by gsumner.
Do I detect a little dissension in the troops,Are some of us jumping of the sinking ship,I know my feet are wet,The end is near,glug-glug-glug…..
I've not lost hope; I'll continue to cheer them on. But I've also started to question whether the team deserves the WC. Simply put, I think the pitching staff is the only part of the team that deserves a shot at the show.
I haven't commented in awhile but I've been reading yours. I don't have much to say. I'm seeing some management mistakes, like why is Thigpen even with the team. He isn't getting the playing time. I also think they should make 2 moves this offseason. Trade either Glaus or Thomas for a 3rd basemen. Preferably a lefty that can hit like Overbay. I also think they should get another quality starter and have Jesse and Chacin start at AAA. Save them for back ups in case we need them. What are your thoughts?
If thomas can come back next year like the last half of this year we have to keep him or pay half his salery to get rid of him and we may only get a -AA- prospect.
Same deal with Glaus to late to trade him now if he comes back next year and he's sound you can't get a better 3rd baseman.
As for Thigpen yes he should be playing more but as long as JP and Gibbons think we still have a chance Zaun will play most of the games.
As for pitchers I think we ars fine the way we are but thats just my opinion on all of the above.
The changes I suggested were more for 08 and beyond. I know of the salaries of Thomas and Glaus. I just don't think this team needs 2 bats that big in their lineup. They'd be better off with another Overbay. Also the ofense should do better next year, as everyone except for Rios is having an extremely sub par year. As for the pitching suggestions it was just to add some depth in case of injuries. As we all know those do happen.
I would hope that we could trade Thomas, use Stairs to DH and with the extra cash try to sign someone like carlos silva to pitch. Also see if we could trade something for Edgar Renteria since the Braves seem to want to trade him and give the job to Yunel. Im just glad that this off season we wont have anyone wanting us to get desperate and sign another Mark Redman type.
Though, if we got rid of Glaus, who would people want instead ??? Dannys right, who would be better then Glaus ? Pedro Feliz, Lamb ? Lowell will be signed again by the redsox most likely.
I'm all for getting rid of Thomas but can we afford to eat half of his salary besides that nobody wants him,
If they can trade him and Glaus Stairs is a good choice for DH and he wants to finish his career here.
Now we need a 3rd baseman with speed a high OBP AND A 300 AVG.
our pitchen is good put Jessie in the bullpen as the longman and Jansen as a starter.

BOSTON, Mass.—Four Eastern Connecticut State University pitchers limited UMass Boston to eight hits over two games, to help the Warriors (15-9, 5-1 Little East) earn a conference doubleheader sweep over UMass Boston (8-15, 0-6 Little East) Saturday afternoon at the UMB Softball Field.
Sam Rossetti (5-for-8, three RBI) and Hannah Latham (4-for-8, three RBI) provided all the offensive support the Warriors would need, as Eastern Connecticut took game one 4-0 and game two 9-1 in six innings.
Freshman Kaitlyn Morse (Arlington, Mass.) led the Beacons with three hits and a run in six at-bats, while junior Abby Goulet (Wales, Maine) recorded her first collegiate hit in game two.
Game One: Eastern Connecticut State 4, UMass Boston 0
Eastern Connecticut State scored four runs in the first four innings and sophomore Emily Komornik pitched 3.2 innings of scoreless relief for a 4-0 game one victory.
Komornik teamed up with starter Erin Miller to allow just four hits and no runs in the contest. Komornik allowed just two hits and struck out three in relief, after Miller was pulled in the fourth. The Warriors senior ace struggled with her control all game, giving up five walks over 3.1 innings.
Morse paced the Beacons with two of their four hits, while Haley Dutton (Milton, Mass.) and Lyndsey Capra (Lowell, Mass.) each collected hits in the bottom of the seventh.
Junior pitcher Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) pitched a complete game, allowing four earned runs on 12 hits and two walks.
The Warriors jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first, with the first of their four two-out runs. Mattie Brett singled to right field with two down and Rossetti followed with an RBI double over the right-fielder's head to give Eastern a 1-0 lead.
Eastern Connecticut added two more in the third inning. Samantha Rentz singled and Rossetti registered her second double to put two runners in scoring position with two down. Latham followed with a single just over the third-base bag to score both runners and make it 3-0 Warriors.
The visitors tacked on a fourth run in the fourth, as Rentz singled through the middle to plate Alyssa Hancock.
After Komornik retired the first nine batters she faced, UMass Boston finally put some pressure on the Warriors in the bottom of the seventh. With one out, Dutton singled over the second baseman's head. She moved over to second on a groundout and tried to score all the way from second on an infield single from Capra, only to be thrown out to end the game. on a strong throw from Hancock.
Game One: Eastern Connecticut State 9, UMass Boston 1 (6 Innings)
The Warriors took advantage of three UMass Boston errors to score five unearned runs in a 9-1 six-inning victory.
Rossetti and Latham combined for three of the team's four RBI, while Samantha Valentine and Summer Cipriani combined to strike out seven batters.
Valentine gave up just one earned run and three hits over the first three innings, while Summer Cipriani picked up the victory in relief, by striking out three and giving up just one hit in three innings.
Freshman Jillian Shepherd (Norwood, Mass.) had a strong game in the circle for UMass Boston, as she gave up just one earned run, four runs total, in four innings of relief.
Kristina Bove (Medford, Mass.), Toni Scola (Worcester, Mass.), Morse and Goulet all registered hits for UMass Boston.
The Warriors raced out to another early lead, as they struck for three runs in the top of the first.
After a one-out single, a Beacons error opened the floodgates, as Rossetti and Latham each followed with RBI singles to make it 2-0. Eastern Connecticut State tacked on a third run with one out on a wild pitch on strike three.
Brett and Rossetti followed up the first inning with an RBI single apiece in the second inning to give the Warriors a 5-0 lead.
UMass Boston finally scratched across arun in the bottom of the third inning. Morse lined a single into left field, moved over to second on a wild pitch, to third on a groundout and then came home to score on a wild pitch with two down.
After the Warriors added another run in the fifth inning, they exploded for three more in the sixth-thanks to a pair of Beacons errors. With runners on second and third and no outs, Latham grounded into a fielder's choice, but the Beacons catcher wasn't able to hang on to the throw home, allowing the seventh Warriors run to score. The next batter hit into a second fielder's choice, but the throw home from the third baseman was well wide, allowing two more runs to cross the plate.
Cipriani sent the Beacons down 1-2-3 in the bottom half of the inning to give the Warriors a 9-1 six-inning win.
UMass Boston will return to action Tuesday at 3 p.m. when they host Keene State College in a Little East Conference doubleheader.

Who will discuss the
New Mexico DNA Project:
The Franks' Connection to New Mexican Families
In Part II of an ongoing series, Mr. Cervantes will explore the connection between certain New Mexican families and the Franks of Western Europe. Cervantes will show a short film that will trace the history of the Franks, a Germanic people that conquered France in the 5th Century. He will then discuss which families show the markers that are most identified with this tribe.
The program will begin promptly at 10:30 AM, so please do not be late.

In 2008, the Center for Innovation and Research in Graduate Education surveyed more than 3,000 PhDs to help "assess the career paths of PhDs and the quality of doctoral education in U.S. social science programs." Many of their findings are very interesting in their own right, but Table 17 is the starting point for this post: only 37% of the respondents reported that there was formal instruction in teaching available in their doctoral programs; fewer than that (34%) reported formal supervision and evaluation of their teaching.
This raises the question: How, where, and when do most anthropologists who go on to teach learn how to teach?
Assuming that the answer is that most anthropologists are self-taught in the ways of the classroom through failure and success, I thought our autodidacts might be interested in some resources.
This 1999 Science article offers some good reflections on the topic. Its suggestions for resources include: Talk about teaching with your colleagues.
For some, with limited departmental or extradepartmental possibilities, this is harder to do and these readers might want to check out the AAA Teaching Materials Exchange to help pool and share ideas. Contribute your assignments, ideas, and syllabus. Investigate new readings and fresh discussion ideas. Contact your fellow teachers.
For others, this chatter might be virtual. The RAI developed a teaching forum. A huge number of our members have blogs (Anthro Brown Bag, Living Anthropologically, and Neuroanthropology come to the fore of my mind because they have content on teaching) for exploring and honing pedagogical ideas.
In the meanwhile, maybe you want to share your story of how, where and when you learned how to teach anthropology.

Gas prices fall as fall nears
Like autumn leaves, gasoline prices are falling.
Already on a 23-straight-day slide, regular unleaded gas now averages $3.46 a gallon — the lowest national average since January, and 35 cents less than year-ago levels. Prices are expected to drop another 20 to 25 cents in the coming weeks.
Behind the fall: Record high refining in the U.S., shrinking consumer demand and slumping crude oil prices, says Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for Internet website price tracker GasBuddy.com.
Crude squirted to two-year highs of $112 a barrel in August on fears that U.S. military intervention in war-torn Syria would disrupt global supplies. With Syrian intervention less likely and thawing tensions with Iran, a far bigger oil producer, crude oil prices continue to slump. Light, sweet crude eased 47 cents to $102.66 a barrel Wednesday. Wholesale gas prices for October delivery, now $2.66 a gallon, are 60 cents below August levels in some markets.
Consumers are also getting a break because refineries in several states have switched from summer-grade blends to winter-grades that are 10 to 15 cents a gallon cheaper, says AAA spokesman Michael Green.
"How low can gas prices go? There is an aspect of this plunge that evokes the Caribbean limbo stick," says Kloza. "Gasoline prices are dipping well below the limbo stick of crude oil, but at some point, it will take lower crude oil prices to hasten a return to sub-$3 gal prices nationwide."
Nationally, gasoline prices have been above $3 for 1,000 consecutive days. That's never happened before, according to the AAA.
Still, bargain-hunters can find gas below $3 a gallon in parts of South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia and Oklahoma. Some could soon find similar prices in Arkansas, Alabama, New Mexico, Indiana and New Jersey, where some outlets are currently selling gas for slightly more than $3.
Nearly 70percent of stations are selling gas below $3.50 a gallon, vs. less than 5percent a year ago, Green says. The cheapest state for gas, South Carolina, averages $3.13. Most expensive; Hawaii, averaging $4.30.

Latest Healthy Kids News
MONDAY, July 1 (HealthDay News) -- Babies as young as 2 months know when they are about to be picked up and prepare themselves for it, according to a new study.
Researchers looked at 28 babies, aged 2 months to 4 months, and found that most of them understood that they were about to be picked up when their mothers came toward them with outstretched arms. The babies then made their bodies still and stiff in order to make it easier for them to be picked up.
It also appears that babies learn to improve the smoothness and coordination of their movements at the same age in order to make it easier for parents to pick them up, according to the study, which was published recently in the journal PLoS One.
By 3 months of age, babies were shifting their gazes from their mother's face to her outstretched arms.
"We didn't expect such clear results. From these findings we predict this awareness is likely to be found even earlier, possibly not long after birth," study author Vasu Reddy, a professor at the University of Portsmouth, in England, said in a university news release.
"The results suggest we need to rethink the way we study infant development, because infants seem to be able to understand other people's actions directed toward them earlier than previously thought," Reddy said. "Experiments where infants are observers of others' actions may not give us a full picture of their anticipatory abilities."
The findings could also be used as an early indicator of some developmental problems, including autism. Previous research showed that children with autism don't appear to make body adjustments in anticipation of being picked up.

Nicki Minaj Brings Her Booty to the Jungle in 'Anaconda' Video [NSFW]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Well, Barbz, Nicki Minaj's 'Anaconda' video is finally here. And yes, it is basically a 5-minute long ode to her butt.
Of course, how could it not be, considering all of the booty-centric themes surrounding the much-hyped track: The extremely revealing single art, the lyric video, and of course, SIr Mix-A-Lot's 'Baby Got Back,' which is heavily sampled throughout the tune.
In the official 'Anaconda' music video, Minaj riffs on the snake theme and brings her booty to the jungle, twerking it all over the place as her backup dancers do the same. And just when she gets tired of twerkin' it in the jungle, she grinds it all up on Drake, who makes a special cameo appearance in the vid. (Of course, that wasn't the only time she has given him a lap dance either — for that, check out Exhibit A right here.)
Let's face it: Nicki Minaj just loves her booty.
Check out the 'Anaconda' video above!

If you you've seen The Amazing Spider-Man by now, you know that one of the lingering mysteries (of the handful left dangling) has to do with a certain scene that occurred midway through the end credits.We had the chance to break that scene down with director Marc Webb at the Amazing Spider-Man press junket, discuss theories about the shadowy villain that appeared in it, and what possible implications it has for Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Needless to say, if you haven't seen the film, the topic we're going to discuss is filled with SPOILERS - so maybe you want to just head over to our Amazing Spider-Man review to get an impression of the movie as a whole. If you have seen the Spider-Man reboot for yourself, feel free to scroll down to the discussion below.
Amazing Spider-Man Mid-Credits Scene Discussion
The final scene of The Amazing Spider-Man sees the defeated Curt Connors/Lizard (Rhys Ifans) being locked away in a poorly-lit prison cell. Lightning flashes, and a figure (played by character actor Michael Massee) steps out of the shadows into one of the two slivers of moonlight in the room and proceeds to interrogate Connors. The mystery man wants to know if Connors told Peter the truth about his father, Richard Parker, and Connors responds that he didn't. The mystery turns to leave, exclaiming that it's fortunate Connors said nothing and that they can leave Peter alone... for now. Connors, in a noble moment, yells that Peter should be left alone for good - but lightning strikes again, and the mysterious figure vanishes just as suddenly as he appeared.
For my money, I immediately guessed that the nature of the scene (specifically the lightning) meant that the classic Spider-Man villain Electro (see above) was being introduced into the Amazing Spider-Man cinematic universe. I went so far as to suggest that theory to director Marc Webb in our interview - and while he played coy, he was visibly delighted by the guess:
Oooo, interesting! You're the only person who's brought that up! I invite speculation, but I will not give you certainty.
Upon a followup question about whether The Amazing Spider-Man trilogy is building towards, perhaps, a saga involving the Sinister Six (Spider-Man villains teamed up as a bigger threat), Webb just let out another "Oooo," smiled knowingly, and said nothing at all. However, he did say to MTV:
"There is a silhouette as Peter enters Oscorp on a display, which reads our founder, Norman Osborn. And there is a back-story which I will not reveal. We wanted to convey that there were more forces at work than you may have initially thought. That's all I can say about that."
Actor Rhys Ifans added:
Connors is sent to an asylum, a high-security asylum, as you would be if you threw police towers across the Brooklyn Bridge... And he's visited by, shall we say, a representative from Oscorp. How he gets into that cell and how he leaves that cell without the guards knowing? We have yet to find out."
The part about there being 'more forces than you initially thought' would suggest that there is a larger plot than the machinations of Curt Connors and Norman Osborn, as the film makes clear. The Sinister Six as a clandestine group of mad-science-meets-corporate-villainy types is easy to image in the re-imagined Spider-Man cinematic universe.
Since the time of our talk with Webb, the worldwide audience has gotten the opportunity to see The Amazing Spider-Man, and I am certainly no longer the only person to have suggested Electro as a possibility for the mystery character in the mid-credits scene. Indeed, a quick scroll through our Amazing Spider-Man Spoilers Discussion will reveal any number of fan theories on who that mystery figure is.

Special Needs Child Thrives by Homeschooling, School District Doesn't Understand How Educación especial
The flexibility of homeschooling allows you to create a truly individualized education plan for your special needs child—something that a traditional classroom just can't offer.
Just this year, a North Carolina family faced this dilemma when the public school wasn't willing to accommodate their 9-year-old's intensive therapy schedule. The parents decided to withdraw him and begin homeschooling. Watch what happened .…
(And you can read the whole story here.)
Through homeschooling parents can offer their children a truly excellent individualized education plan that is characterized by flexibility, encouragement, and support.
• For learning disabled children who function best with "real-life problems" rather than artificial worksheet tasks, homeschooling may be ideal.
• For medically sensitive children, learning at home provides the opportunity for careful monitoring.
• For attention deficit children who function best with uniquely structured time and fewer distractions, homeschooling usually proves to be the answer.

Ervin moves on in 50; Phelps-Lochte II on tap
Source Link:
FOX NEWS: Ervin moves on in 50; Phelps-Lochte II on tap
London, England – Anthony Ervin auctioned off his gold medal for winning the 50-meter freestyle at the 2000 Sydney Olympics to aid victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
Now, he wants another one.
"Hopefully I can make that happen in the next two swims," he said.
Ervin swam the fourth fastest time in heats for the 50 free Thursday morning and will go again in the evening, when the Aquatics Centre will also host the second head-to-head race between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte.
Two years after winning gold and silver in Sydney, Ervin retired from swimming at the age of 22 in 2003. The former world record holder in the 50 free went back to college and toured the world, but got back in the pool for a college assignment and came out of retirement to qualify for the event again at U.S. trials.
"It is part of the human experience to push and push what we think is possible," he said Thursday.
Trinidad & Tobago's George Richard Bovell had the fastest 50 heat, 21.77 seconds, while world record holder and reigning Olympic champion Cesar Cielo was .03 ticks slower. Cielo hasn't lost at the distance since winning gold in Beijing four years (sic.)
American Cullen Jones also made the semis, coming in sixth. He and Ervin will try to bring the U.S. another sprint medal after Nathan Adrian won the men's 100 free Wednesday night.
Lochte and Phelps set themselves up for their second head-to-head race of the London Olympics after both made the final of the men's 200 individual medley.
The world record holder Lochte blew away Hungary's Laszlo Cseh by .61 seconds Wednesday night for the fastest time in the semis. But Phelps is the two-time defending champion at the distance and will be looking to become the first male swimmer to win the same Olympic race three times in a row two days after setting the all-time Olympic medal record. He was .98 seconds slower than Lochte in the semis.
It's their last head-to-head race of the games. Lochte, of course, won the first one -- the 400 IM on Saturday in the first medal race here. Phelps was fourth, the first time he finished off an Olympic medal podium since he was 15.
Americans have 18 swimming medals here so far, and they're evenly split among the men and women: 4 gold, three silver and two bronze for each.
The final of the men's 200 backstroke is also Thursday night, about 30 minutes before the 200 IM. Lochte also qualified for that race Wednesday night with the second best time in the semis behind U.S. teammate Tyler Clary.
Phelps will end his night with semis for the 100 butterfly, which he has also won in the last two Olympics. He had the second fastest time in heats in the morning behind South Africa's Chad le Clos, who beat him in the 200 fly -- Phelps' signature race.
It was the last Olympic preliminary swim for Phelps, who swears he will retire after the games.
"This is my last prelim swim ever so that was pretty fun to be able to do a pretty decent time in it," he said.
Milorad Cavic, the swimmer Phelps beat by .01 seconds in the famous Beijing 100 race, also made the semis.
American Rebecca Soni will defend her Olympic title in the women's 200-meter breaststroke after setting a world record in the semis Wednesday night and Missy Franklin will take aim at her fourth medal here in the women's 100 free.
Franklin, who will be the first American female swimmer to race in seven events at an Olympics, had the fastest heat Wednesday morning in the 200 back ahead of teammate Elizabeth Beisel and world record holder and two-time defending Olympic champion Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe. Franklin already won the 100 back.
Britain's Rebecca Adlington, the world record holder and 2008 gold medalist, swam the fastest heat for the women's 800 free Thursday morning. Denmark's Lotte Friis was second and Katie Ledecky of the U.S. was third.

Our friend Joyce Sobotta did something about it.
A Story of Rebirth
"One night," Joyce said, "the family had gathered, and as we helped her from hospital bed to chair, she looked at me and she said, 'Joyce can I come to your house?'
"I said, yes you can come. I knew she couldn't come because she was too weak. But she smiled because she had a place to go. Later on that evening, she passed.
"Her spirit had let go of her physical body but there was so much more to do. I knew I wanted to help women accept and love their bodies."
At that moment, Joyce decided to dedicate her life to educating women about breast health. Her idea came to life in the form of Healthy Girls Breast Oil.
What Is Healthy Girls Breast Oil?
The lymph system's primary function is to isolate toxins and filter them out of the body. Because lymph fluid moves slowly, inactivity can seriously restrict its flow. Muscle contraction (as in the diaphragm with deep breathing), and manual manipulation (as in massage), are the primary means for our lymph to circulate and drain from the body. Lymphatic self breast massage can reduce tenderness, breast pain, inflammation, lumps, cysts, and fibrocystic breast tissue. It also encourages loving self-care!
What Practitioners Are Saying…
"It feels wonderful to do the breast self massage, love the aroma, no greasy feeling and I know I'm giving a fabulous treatment to my breasts." – Sharon, CMT
Each oil in Healthy Girls Breast Oil has a specific purpose to work synergistically to improve breast health:
Jojoba – Most like the oil in your skin, jojoba has anti-inflammatory properties. Suitable for all skin types, it unclogs pores, stimulates blood circulation and skin elasticity, and helps heal scars.
Lemon – With an invigorating scent, lemon is high in the nutrient d-limonene, improves the immune system, and helps with cellulite and lymphatic cleansing.
Sweet Orange – Also rich in d-limonene, orange has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth. It improves the immune system, promotes tissue repair and has an uplifting aroma to reduce depression.
Lavender – This restorative, relaxing oil is used for holistic balancing. It aids in relaxing the nerves, relieving headaches, reducing high blood pressure, and improving skin conditions.
Geranium – Opening up the liver to discharge toxins, geranium balances skin, circulatory and emotional conditions by helping regenerate tissue and nerves.
Frankincense – Helping to strengthen the immune system, frankincense wards off infection and oxygenates cells.
Nerolina – This soothing, softening oil helps to balance and detoxify as an antibacterial and antifungal.
Marjoram – Known in folklore as "Joy of the Mountains," marjoram aids to warm the body and ease congestion in tissues which can be a cause of pain. It is calming, relaxing and known to increase longevity.
Rose Demascena – Beautiful for the skin, this oil brings a feeling of wellbeing and unconditional love to the body. It also aids in circulation and emotional balance.
Using Healthy Girls Breast Oil for lymphatic massage will not just aid in detoxification, it will focus loving energy on your breasts, instead of fear or lack of acceptance.
"To me, good health is more than just exercise and diet. It's really a point of view and a mental attitude you have about yourself." – Albert Schweitzer
Other Ways to Support Breast Health
Omega-3s – Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the risk and progression of breast cancer.3 One study found that when women who were diagnosed with breast cancer increased their intake of omega-3s, they experienced a 25% reduced risk of additional breast cancer events, as well as reduced risk of mortality.4

Today's we are featuring two beautiful simple quilts both by Ann Stewart. Both feature bold splashes of favorite colors complemented perfectly by modern hand quilting. And, the only main "tool" that this quilter uses in this intricate hand quilting is a needle. Read on as Ann tells us a little more about these works of art and her approach to quilting.
In Ann's Own Words:
My main tool with hand quilting is my size 12 Prym quilting needle. I do not use a quilting frame but developed my own way of quilting. That also describes me as a quilter. I like to do things by experimenting. I get my inspiration from my heart. I look at my favorite magazines (not quilting magazines, but mainly modern furniture) and sometimes just see a quilt in it. Sometimes it's just the colors that inspire me.
All I really want to do is to make someone else happy with my quilts. I am happiest when someone wants to take my quilt home.
I did not name these quilts. Only a poem on the back to give encouragement to my sister and expression of the purpose of the quilt (her husband could continue to keep her warm through the use of his shirts).
Tools Used:
Prym Quilting Needles. Ann specifically uses Size 12.

It's starting to look like it might (at least to me, anyway). Consider the rotation as it stands today: with Johan Santana recovering from surgery to start the season, Mike Pelfrey, R.A. Dickey, and Jon Niese are the only established major league starters on the roster. In some ways, referring to this group as "established" is being kind: they each have questions to answer in 2011). Pelfrey can be solid (if unspectacular), but has been prone to extended streaks where he struggles to be average. Can he be more consistent next year? R.A. Dickey was a revelation this season, but he's 36 and the 174 innings he pitched last season were a career high. Can he do it again? 2010 was Jon Niese's first full season, and he's struggled with injuries the past two season. Can he stay healthy long enough to contribute?
That being said, those three will anchor the rotation next season. John Maine has most likely played his last game with the team: I expect him to be non-tendered this week. Dillon Gee will be given a chance to win a spot in the rotation in Spring Training, as will Misch and probably Tobi Stoner. Misch is easily the most established (there's that word again, used even more generously here) of the three, which can't hurt. Add in Sandy Alderson's (and Terry Collins') comments about not wanting to rush prospects to the majors and that's about it for in-house candidates.
There are, of course, outside candidates. Joe Janish of Mets Today put together a list of signable (read: not Cliff Lee) free agent pitchers last week, focusing on the risk/reward aspect of each. Having just returned from a trip to Atlantic City, I find some of these gambles attractive, particularly Chris Young. I wouldn't be opposed to signing one of them to a one-year deal and hoping for the best, but I don't know if it's possible. I've read in many places that the Mets' off-season budget may be limited to $5 million. If that's the case, these players may not fit in the Mets' budget (even accounting for the discount generated by their injury histories). I mean, it could happen, but should the Mets really gamble on a pitcher with a history of injuries when their budget is so limited?
The next few days will see a number of pitchers hit free agency as the December 2nd non-tender deadline approaches. Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors has put together a list of non-tender candidates. While there are some interesting names for the bullpen, the starting pitchers leave something to be desired. I've always liked Brian Bannister and he might benefit from making half his starts at Citi Field, but he's always struggled with major league hitters and he's been injury prone recently, too. I wouldn't have taken a shot at Zach Duke before he was traded to the Diamondbacks, making that moot anyway. Jeff Karstens? Kyle Davies? I guess, at the right price. But it's debatable whether their better than Misch or not.
Acquiring a starter via a trade is also a possibility. The Mets could possibly trade Jose Reyes or Carlos Beltran (Beltran for Daisuke Matsuzaka might make some sense, I guess). Personally, I remain convinced that the Mets should refrain from trading either of those players until June, at the earliest. Their value is what it once was, but there's still a reasonable chance that they can recapture most of it: it simply makes no sense to move them now. We'll see.
In an effort to be fair to every candidate, I have to mention that Oliver Perez currently has a 10-inning scoreless streak over his last two starts in the Mexican Winter League. Whatever.
So, there you have it: based on the known available options (and their costs), Pat Misch will very likely be the fifth (or possibly even the fourth) starter in the rotation next year. Bill James predicts Misch's 2011 season as: 23 games (12 starts), 75.0 innings pitched, 82 hits, 50 strikeouts and 18 walks (2.78 K/BB ration) for a 4.20 ERA (4.19 FIP). Obviously, the counting numbers would be higher if Misch won the job out of spring training, but a 4.20/4.19 ERA/FIP for less than $1 million isn't that bad. It's less than optimal, but budget constraints make it one of the more plausible options available.

THE AFTERMATH OF a national tragedy generally elicits two responses. The first is the expression of collective grief, a crucial element of the healing process. The second is the question, quintessentially if not uniquely American, of what can be done to prevent such events.
Katrina launched a debate about hurricane preparedness, the Sept. 11 attacks a broad inquiry into anti-terrorist efforts. Only for one category of tragedy, mass shootings, is the obvious set of questions — What went wrong? What should be changed? — so emphatically off the table, at least for politicians. The reality of modern politics, which is to say the political firepower wielded by the National Rifle Association, stifles any serious discussion of gun control. That has been the arc, as predictable as it is disappointing, of political responses to last week's massacre in Aurora, Colo., most notably from President Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
The closest the president edged to the topic was on Sunday, when he expressed hope that "we all reflect on how we can do something about some of the senseless violence that ends up marring this country." Such as? White House press secretary Jay Carney semi-elaborated: "The president's view is that we can take steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them under existing law," he told reporters. But there is no indication that existing law would have done anything to stop James Holmes, the suspected gunman.
Mr. Romney was similarly heavy on soothing rhetoric and light on specifics. "Today, we not only feel a sense of grief but perhaps also of helplessness," Mr. Romney said after the shooting. "But there is something we can do. We can offer comfort to someone near us who is suffering or heavy-laden. And we can mourn with those who mourn in Colorado."
New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) was right to call out both candidates on such inadequate responses. "Soothing words are nice," Mr. Bloomberg said Friday. "But maybe it's time that the two people who want to be president of the United States stand up and tell us what they're going do about it."
No gun control law, however restrictive, can reliably stop every massacre. But in the aftermath of Aurora, Tucson and Virginia Tech, politicians should not be permitted to evade a serious discussion of whether additional restrictions are warranted. The assault-weapons ban that expired in 2004, although riddled with loopholes, would have covered the AR-15 rifle used in the shooting. During the 2008 campaign, Mr. Obama supported renewing the ban, but he has since been silent on the subject. Mr. Romney once supported the ban as well, but he has renounced that view.
The assault-weapons ban also prohibited the manufacture of magazines of more than 10 rounds. Mr. Holmes, according to police, bought a high-capacity "drum magazine" that could hold 100 rounds and fire as many as 60 rounds in a minute. High-capacity magazines were also used in the Tucson and Fort Hood shootings. Do the presidential candidates support renewing the limit on magazine sizes?
Mr. Holmes allegedly placed online orders for an astonishing 3,000 rounds of handgun ammunition, 3,000 rounds for an assault rifle and 350 shotgun shells. Should online sales of ammunition be prohibited or more carefully scrutinized? The failure of the presidential candidates even to broach these issues is a disservice to the Americans they hope to lead, and to the memory of the victims of Aurora.

Subscribe To Ashton Kutcher, Josh Gad Analyze Tech In New jOBS Images Updates
I've already subscribed
Joshua Michael Stern's Steve Jobs biopic, the awkwardly titled jOBS, will be one of the many movies vying for journalists' attention at the Sundance Film Festival, which kicks off this week. And because Sterns has uber-celeb Ashton Kutcher in the lead role of Jobs, the film's getting a nice pre-Sundance boost from national media, which can only help it make a dent once the overcrowded Sundance field kicks into its highest gear.
USA Today, for instance, ran a jOBS photo that also gives us our first look at co-star Josh Gad in character as Steve Wozniak, a computer engineer and programmer who co-founded Apple with Jobs and Ronald Wayne. Here's the shot:
Stern's movie has been programmed as the Closing Night film for this year's Sundance fest. After it screens, it will slide off the radar until April, when mainstream audiences will be able to get a full look at the on-screen tribute to the Apple co-founder's earliest days.
A lot has been made of Kutcher's resemblance to a young Steve Jobs. Most of us probably associate his name and likeness to the presentations he made in recent years introducing the latest Apple technologies. And while I'm a die-hard Apple guy, I confess ignorance to the path that Jobs and Wozniak took to form this groundbreaking company. So I'm really hoping that jOBS does an admirable job (no pun intended) of capturing the trials and tribulations of the genius's early days.

Cover (UK)
Skeletor discovers a pool of energy deep in Snake Mountain. Next to it is an inscription in the ancient Snake tongue, which Kobra Khan says is of the ancient Snake Man language, which even his own people cannot read anymore. Skeletor reads it magically, and discovers that the pool holds the secret of King Hiss. Skeletor, intrigued, energizes the pool with the Havok Staff. Hiss emerges (as a human).
He-Man, notified by the Sorceress of the prior events, flies to Snake Mt., but along the way discovers Hiss being attacked by Skeletor and Khan. He-Man defeats them suspiciously easily, only to find that Hiss is actually a Snake Man in disguise. Hiss hypnotizes He-Man with his eyes, and he awakens by the pool. Hiss recounts the story of the Snake Empire that reigned thousands of years prior, while Rattlor captures the Power Sword. Luckily, He-Man recaptures it, plugs the energy pool, and defeats Hiss.

Packaged with King Hiss.

Pictured: Jeff Hajdin sliding into second base against Charlotte
The Particulars
The Harvard Crimson baseball team will host Bryant University in a non-conference doubleheader at O'Donnell Field on Tuesday in games announced just last Friday.
The contests will serve as a tune-up for the Crimson as it readies for the first round of the Beanpot tomorrow against Massachusetts in a 6:30 p.m. game that will be played at LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Mass.
About Harvard
Harvard is coming off a Sunday sweep of Brown in which the team came from behind in the opening game to tie it before scoring four times in the final inning to claim a 6-3 win. Harvard then scored four times in the first inning of the nightcap en route to a 12-7 victory. All told, Harvard banged out 25 hits in the two games.
Freshman Jack Colton batted .643 (9-14) with a .667 on-base-percentage in four games, including a 7-11 mark in three games at Brown. Colton factored in both victories with a 2-for-3 effort in a 6-3 win and a 3-for-4 effort with a walk in a 12-7 win.
Junior pitcher Brent Suter made two appearances including a complete game win over Brown on Sunday in which he struck out seven. He also had five strikeouts in 3.1 innings of relief against Northeastern in a mid-week outing as he compiled a 2.61 ERA with 12 K's in 10.1 innings of work.
For the season, Colton leads the team with a .429 average after missing time earlier in the season with a back injury. Jeff Reynolds follows at .322 while Way leads the team with six home runs and 20 RBI. Freshman Jake McGuiggan has 10 doubles to pace the team in that category.
About Bryant
The Bulldogs are coming off a four-game sweep of Mt. St. Mary's in which they allowed just six runs. Bryant defeated Harvard earlier in the year, 12-1 in Smithfield, R.I., where it is 9-3 so far on the season.
David Soltis leads the team in batting with a .333 mark and a .437 on-base-percentage. Kevin Brown (.252) has three homers and leads the team with seven stolen bases while Mike Delponte (.266) also has three homers.
Looking Ahead to Massachusetts
The Minutemen bring an 11-16 mark into this week's games after taking two of three from Temple this past weekend while scoring 48 runs. The team plays Connecticut on Monday and Central Connecticut on Tuesday leading up to the Beanpot.
Matt Gedman is batting a lofty .450 with 25 RBI and Peter Copa follows at .372 with team-highs of eight homers, 30 RBI and 10 stolen bases.
Nobody besides its three weekend starters have more than two games started on the mound so there will likely be a number of arms used in the team's three midweek games.


text: "Class was a delicate matter, a subject for intuition rather than conversation, one of those 'borderline' subjects, deeply felt but never discussed," writes Jessica Mitford in Hons and Rebels (NYRB Classics, 2004), a memoir of growing up in the storied upper-class English family that inspired her sister Nancy's Love in a Cold Climate, reviewed earlier today. I haven't read this one, but I admired Jessica Mitford's landmark exposé of the funeral industry, The American Way of Death. And the NYRB site has a brief introduction by Christopher Hitchens and a reading group guide with more on this family of six gifted daughters and a son killed in World War II.

Sam Shankland '14 wins a major chess fellowship
Award provides $42,000 stipend to support chess study and coaching
Sam Shankland '14 has been selected as the newest Frank P. Samford, Jr. Chess Fellow by the Samford Fellowship Committee. This is the richest and most prestigious chess fellowship in the United States.
The Orinda, California, native, who has been lauded as one of the fastest learners of chess in history, is the 29th Samford fellow. He will receive a stipend of $42,000 for the year beginning July 1 to ensure that he has access to top-level coaching and study materials. The fellowship can be renewed for a second year.
Shankland was designated a Grand Master, the highest title in chess except for world champion, in 2011.
The United States Chess Federation said in a report posted on its website that the winner was chosen "based on his chess talent, work ethic, dedication and accomplishments." Shankland was able to improve an unheard of 200 points in World Chess Federation ratings in a single year, when average growth is 45 to 60 points.
Shankland began playing chess when he was nine – a relatively late start for top-flight players. He tied for first in the Under-18 category in the 2008 World Youth Championships in Vietnam, placed third in the 2011 U.S. Championship and became the youngest-ever California state champion at the age of 16.
Shankland, now 22, recently posted on his professional Facebook page, "One thing is for certain, my life will never be the same." He expects to write a blog entry with video soon on the website chess.com, where he chronicles some of his interesting games on his blog.
For more about Shankland, visit his website or his Facebook page.

Going green and helping to save the planet is an excellent cause. Apart from being environmentally correct it also helps us to be more thrifty and avoid unnecessary wastage. However, recycling in Malaysia or at least Hulu Langat is hard work. At home in Batu 14 we try to do the 3Rs as much as we can. Yes, it may be due to the influence of Captain Planet but a bigger factor is because we have no garbage collection services. That is what you get (or should I rephrase that to' what you don't get') when you live in a kampung.
My neighbours either burn their wastes or dump them in the river or an unsuspecting neighbour's land. For us all this while we have been carrying our garbage out and dumping it at the local market which is about 10km away. That is the nearest place with proper dumping facilities. So the decision to recycle is really a matter of necessity. Reducing wastes means reducing several 20km trips weekly.
However, it has not been an easy process. It requires a lot of hard work and space. You will need space to store the items (paper, plastics, glass) for recycling; you will need space to place the compost bin, the kitchen waste compositor, the bottles of citrus peels window cleaner that is waiting to mature (to complete fermentation) etcetera, etcetera. And if you don't do it right and and in a systematic way your home will end up like a hoarders nightmare!
So far, what have we done (we in this sentence refers to my mom and I).
1. Cloth diapers for my son (reduces 6 disposable diaper going to through trash daily)
2. Sort out the papers, plastics and glass wastes. Paper and plastic are sold to the local recycling center which is only a kilometre away. Our only problem is glass... no one buys glass nowadays except some shopping center (but only on Saturdays)
3. Make our own compost from plant based wastes. I am trying several methods from various green websites.
4. Lastly, using the Kitchen Waste Compositor: A kit I bought at the recent MAHA fair which uses some sort of bioenzymes to convert kitchen wastes into safe compost materials. So far the process has been quite okay except for the part where I have to put all the 'sludge' and bury them after a week. This last step have truly cut the amount of garbage we throw out to more than half.... hooray!
It is an ongoing effort and I hope we will continue to have the enthusiasm to do this. There are days when I feel jealous of those who live in housing estates with the convenience of the 'garbage collectors'. They truly are the unsung heroes of 'modern living'.
