Erykah Badu has taken off her clothes – and started a controversy.
The R&B singer's new video for "Window Seat," the lead single from her highly-anticipated new album "New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh" (released Tuesday), features the neo-soul star walking through her home town of Dallas' Dealey Plaza and stripping down piece by piece until she appears completely naked.
The video ends with the singer being shot and killed in the Plaza – at the exact same location of President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination.
"They who play it safe, are quick to assassinate what they do not understand. They move in packs, ingesting more and more fear with every act of hate on one another. They feel most comfortable in groups – less guilt to swallow," she says in a monologue that closes the video as passers-by ignore her "dead" body. "They are us. This is what we have become."
"I don't understand how someone who lives here, who is a resident of this city, could do such a thing," Dallas civic volunteer Lindalyn Adams told the Dallas Morning News.
John Crawford, president of the Downtown Dallas organization, told the paper, "It's in poor taste and poor judgment, in my opinion."
Erykah defended herself to the paper, calling the video, "a protest… about liberating yourself."
"I tied it in a way that compared the [JFK] assassination to the character assassination one would go through after showing his or her self completely," she said. "That's exactly the action I wanted to display."
As if its content wasn't provocative enough, the single-take video was reportedly shot without a permit in front of unprepared pedestrians– leaving Erykah open to charges of indecent exposure. However, according to the paper, the singer "almost certainly won't be" charged. The paper further reported that no witness has yet complained of the filming.
"Window Seat" isn't entirely controversial though. Starting April 1, it's being featured all month as Delta Airlines in-flight boarding music!
And Rolling Stone says of the new album, "'New Amerykah Part Two' revives Badu's romantic side, and at its best it places her on a sun-splashed day in 1972…" Entertainment Weekly gives the album an "A-".

2013 Welcome Back Message from President Bharucha
September 8, 2013
To: The Cooper Union Community
From: President Jamshed Bharucha
Subject: Welcome back
I want to welcome faculty, students and staff back for a new academic year. To our new students, we celebrate your joining our community of excellence and innovation. Congratulations on your admission to The Cooper Union.
We experienced another highly selective admissions cycle where only eight percent of all applicants were admitted. This talented group of students comes from all over the United States and around the world, including Australia, Canada, China, The Czech Republic, Haiti, Hong Kong, India, Israel, The Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Taiwan and The United Kingdom.
Summer 2013
I hope you have all enjoyed a restful summer. A highlight of the summer was the arrival of Dr. Teresa Dahlberg as the new Dean of the Albert Nerken School of Engineering. The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture search committee, chaired by Diana Agrest, began its search for a new dean following Anthony Vidler's twelve years of service.
Our vibrant summer programs continued with their vital work. These included the 26th Annual Summer Research Internship Program that provided local area high school students with free classes in engineering. The Pre-College Outreach Program, which encourages high school students to advance their art, ended the summer session with a student exhibition in the Foundation Building.
Exciting new programs included a first-ever "Invention Factory," funded by an endowed gift from Ed Durbin (EE'48). The Invention Factory enabled twenty students to compete for a $5,000 prize for the best, working invention that could be patented - with potential proceeds going to The Cooper Union. The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture also launched two new summer programs: "Introduction to Architecture," for college level students considering applying to architecture school, and "Strange Craft: Master Class in Advanced Digital Architecture," for advanced students and professionals in practice. Finally, the Center for Writing provided The Cooper Union's first-ever online-only course. The Summer Writing program was a paid three-week online course for anyone interested in preparing for writing at the college level.
For my wife, Jessie, and me, the summer concluded at Cape Cod, where we joined Dean Baker and 120 scholar-athletes in a week of sports, team-building, leadership-building, and community-building. We were grateful for the chance to develop relationships with students outside the hectic campus.
The Year Ahead
This year the School of Art will continue its commitment to providing Cooper students with access to first-rate international faculty, with visiting instructor/artists who originally hail from Paris, Bogata, Rio de Janeiro and Warsaw. The Interdisciplinary Seminar will feature major artist speakers like Judith Barry, Leslie Hewitt (A'00) and the Nature Theater of Oklahoma. Two exhibitions have also been planned for fall: one focused on Greenwood Cemetery and another that will provide an overview of graphic design work from over seventy New York City design firms.
The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture welcomes new adjunct faculty: Tulay Atak, Pep Aviles, Teddy Kofman, Sofia Krimizi, Matthew Roman, Wes Rosen, and Will Shapiro. Starting in October, Professor Emerita Sue Ferguson Gussow will teach a Master Class in drawing, open to the public. It will start in October as a special fundraising initiative requiring a donation of at least $1,500, with proceeds going to The Cooper Union and the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture. Professor Diana Agrest's new film, "The Making of an Avant Garde: the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies 1967-1984", will be screened at Cooper Union this Fall. The exhibition of Master's thesis projects opens in the Houghton Gallery on September 12th at 6:30 p.m.
This year, the Albert Nerken School of Engineering revamped "EID 101: Engineering Design and Problem Solving," a required freshman engineering course that integrates social and environmental solutions into core pedagogy. In the new format projects will include, maximizing energy efficiency of vehicles, designing urban gardens for New York City rooftops to produce food for the poor, and tackling child obesity by building equipment that motivates children to exercise.
The Development Office was very productive over the summer, garnering several major donations. These included a bequest of more than $2 million from the Estate of Jane Deed, wife of Donald Deed, ChE'37, and a pledge of $1 million for the Saturday Program from Trustee Jeffery Gural. Ed Durbin, EE'48, whose gift established the first Invention Factory for the School of Engineering in 2013, has contributed $100,000 to support the program again in 2014. A six-week companion program will be launched next summer, tentatively titled the Entrepreneurship Factory, with support from Scott Sheridan, son of Robert Sheridan (ME'49).
As many of you may have noticed, the CitiBikes rack has been removed from in front of the Foundation Building. This was done in advance of the Astor Place redesign, an exciting renovation of the Peter Cooper Square area. The park will be expanded, with additional entrances, and a pedestrian plaza will be added in place of the southbound lane of 4th Avenue. Work is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. The proposed map will be posted to cooper.edu as soon as it becomes available.
Over the next three months, Trustees Michael Borkowsky and Jeffrey Gural will Co-Chair a Working Group comprised of trustees, administrators, full-time and part-time faculty, staff, alumni and students. The Working Group's charge is to explore ways in which Cooper Union may revert to providing full-tuition scholarships for all enrolled students while establishing a sustainable financial model and continuing to invest in academic excellence. The definition of a sustainable financial model will be provided by the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. The Working Group will submit its report to the administration and Board of Trustees by December 1st for consideration at the December Board of Trustees Meeting.
I enjoyed meeting new students and their families at the Stuyvesant Fish House on move-in day. If we have not yet met, please take the time to introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you.

Downeast Dayboat Scallops always pan sear perfectly
Photo credit: Trish Cheney
Delicious. Sustainable. Direct to you.
Shipped within 24 hours
Here in Maine small boats fish within 3 miles of shore and are allowed to harvest only small quantities (up to 135 pounds) each day. This means they go out and come back within hours, so you get access to incredibly fresh scallops. At Downeast Dayboat, we take their precious catch and carefully and quickly package it for shipment directly to you, always within 24 hours of harvest.
In contrast, over 95% of US sea scallops come from large boats that fish well offshore and harvest thousands of pounds on a single trip. Because they're at sea for a week or more, their scallops are stored on ice. Over the course of the trip and their long journey to market, melting ice soaks into the scallops, waterlogging them and diluting their flavor. They're often also soaked in chemical solutions to preserve and artificially plump them. That extra water adds weight so you end up paying more money for less flavor.
We believe you shouldn't have to be in Maine to enjoy these fresh, delicious scallops.
At Downeast Dayboat, we do things differently because we know super fresh Maine scallops deserve better treatment, and so do you. We ship the freshest, most delicious scallops you'll ever taste – direct to your door.
So go ahead – Taste the Difference a Day Makes®
Fresh scallop shipments will start again in December 2019. Join our mailing list to receive updates on this and other opportunities.

While the rest of us were hungover Sunday afternoon, this lucky group was playing kick ball with Bill Murray. We asked a couple of team members how it went down.
Marina: So, where did this all go down? I assume you're part of a rec sports league?
Chris DiLella: This all happened on Sunday at our 2 p.m. kickball game at Roosevelt Island's Firefighter Field. Our team name is Brews Your Daddy we play for ZogSports. Some of our teammates had "other commitments" this week and now they're regretting it! You snooze, you lose!
Marina: Did he introduce himself or just appear on the field like a majestic mythical beast? Was he with anyone?
Margaret Rainka: It was my turn to kick and the ref said, "do you mind if my friend Bill kicks?" I was thinking, "Yes I mind, it is my turn to kick I don't want your rando friend to take my turn."Then I heard someone say it was Bill Murray, so I decided I would let him kick :) He was a good teammate, and got on base!
Courtney Beard The Ref said he first began speaking to him on the Roosevelt Island tram because of a hat he was wearing can't remember the team and the ref didnt even know it was Bill Murray. He overheard someone behind him point this out haha and then said he should stop by the kickball fields for the games. I looked out and thought it was just some old guy, then [my teammates] informed me it was him. He was dressed kind of like a homeless guy going to play sports, but apparently he does this all the time very "loud" crazy bright colors/patterns when playing golf especially. He took pictures with everyone and even picked up [my friend] Margaret's mom! I looked at him and asked "Bill Murray, what are you doing here?" He put his hand out, shook mine and said, "Oh, ya know just wanted to kick the ball around."
Marina: Were you starstruck or were you able to play it cool?
Chris: I was able to play it cool but everyone else ran to grab their cameras. He ate it up I think he secretly loved it.
Sophia Rocher: I just remember yelling "GUYSSSS Bill Murray is kicking for our team right now"
Marina: Is he as infinitely cool to be around as he seems? Any funny moments?
Chris: Yes. My favorite moment he gave us all high-fives and then posed for a picture with us. Our team lost that day but we still felt like winners at the end.
Marina: Most kids would be incredibly embarrassed if their dad spontaneously crashed a stranger's kickball game. How'd his sons handle it? Did they play?
Chris: His sons were awesome they looked like they were on an outing with their dad. I believe they had bikes. They let their dad shine and they stood in the background.
Marina: The world wants to know: Is Bill Murray any good at kickball?
Chris: In my opinion, Bill Murray has great throwing and bouncing abilities.
Marina: About how long did he stick around?
Chris: Less than 10 minutes.
Marina: A recurring theme of the Bill Murray lore is "No one will ever believe you." How awesome is it to have photo proof?
Chris: That's what I thought. I think that's why everyone scrambled for their camera phones.
Marina: How soon will you forgive your cameraman for blocking the upper left corner of the photo with his finger?
Emily Simmons: Considering that finger took the picture that caused this story to go viral, I think I'll be buying the cameraman a drink next Sunday instead.
Marina: This picture has gotten pretty popular pretty quickly. Is it cool to see the rest of the Internet as excited about this as you are?
Chris: Yes!
Marina: Last question: Having already met and high-fived Bill Murray, are you finding it difficult to come up with new life goals?
Chris: I mean this has been on my bucket list since grade school when I first discovered the sport of kick ball. Who'da thought one day, when I'm 25-years-old, I'd be playing kickball with Bill Murray. I can now die happy.
Thanks to Chris, Margaret, Courtney, and Sofia for letting us live vicariously through you!

Authorities are broadening the scope of their Boston Marathon investigation on Friday, combing through a Massachusetts landfill for items discarded by surviving suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and towing away the trailered boat in which he hid last week from police.
Those developments came as Dzkohkar was transferred to prison from the civilian hospital where he was recovering from injuries from a shootout with police, and also as new details emerged on the bombs used at the marathon suggested they had been built with an al-Qaida magazine's help.
For full coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings investigation, visit NBCNews.com.
The make-up of the bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon suggests the bombmakers closely followed the instructions from the al-Qaida magazine "Inspire," NBC News reported Friday, citing a government document, as the sole surviving bombing suspect was moved from a hospital to prison.
The pressure-cooker bombs that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are suspected of detonating at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding hundreds, used spherical shrapnel, fireworks gunpowder and possibly Christmas tree lights as an initiator, just as advised in the jihadi magazine, according to the unclassified report obtained by NBC News.
The analysis by the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center found that the pipe bombs the Tsarnaev brothers allegedly threw from a car during a police chase on April 18 also hewed closely to the blueprints in the magazine's story "How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom."
"The use of elbow pipes specifically is unique," the report said, "and rare in other extremist and anarchist literature."
That analysis emerged as federal investigators combed through a New Bedford, Mass., landfill looking for receipts related to the purchase of fireworks as well as to a missing laptop they believe might have belonged to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, NBC News reported.
Meanwhile Friday evening, police were moving the trailered boat in a Watertown, Mass. backyard in which Tsarnaev had hidden after his shootout with police last week. He was captured in that boat last Friday after a man noticed the boat's tarp flapping and spotted the suspect inside.
Tsarnaev was moved overnight Friday from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he had been held since his capture, to the Federal Medical Center Devens in central Massachusetts, the U.S. Marshals Service said.
The facility, on the decommissioned Fort Devens U.S. Army base, treats federal prisoners and detainees who require specialized long-term medical or mental health care. Tsarnaev, 19, is recovering from a gunshot wound to the throat and other injuries suffered during his attempted getaway last week.
Federal Medical Center Devens also has a satellite camp for minimum security male inmates, according to its website.
Those who have served time there include a nearly 100-year-old former mobster and Raj Rajaratnam, the Wall Street trader sentenced to 11 years for insider trading, NBC News reported.
Lee Siegfried, a former DJ who appeared on Howard Stern's radio show as the "Cabbie" character and was imprisoned at Fort Medical Center Devens for five months for tax evasion, told NBC News the facility had a lot of "heavy hitters."
"You have cartel guys, serious gang members, mob guys," he said. "And a large concentration of pedophiles. I would sit in the yard and guys would tell me, 'See that guy? He's here on 55 counts of sodomy involving children.'"
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is accused of setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs with his brother Tamerlan that killed three people and wounded more than 260 at the marathon finish line April 15. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died after a firefight with police in a Boston suburb and Dzhokhar was found hiding in a boat hours later last night. A MIT campus officer was also killed in the violence.
Armed with another pressure-cooker explosive and five pipe bombs, the suspected terrorist brothers had also made a spur-of-the-moment decision last week to give the Big Apple a taste of their mayhem following the marathon attacks, New York City officials said on Thursday.
The potentially deadly scheme fell apart when the Tsarnaev's realized the car they had hijacked was low on gas.
"We don't know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists had they arrived here from Boston," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. "We're just thankful that we didn't have to find out that answer."
New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators at his hospital bed that he and his older brother spontaneously decided the night of April 18 to drive to New York and launch the attack.
But when the Tsarnaev brothers stopped at a gas station on the outskirts of Boston, the carjacking victim they were holding hostage escaped and called police, Kelly said.
The carjacking victim, a 26-year-old Chinese engineer whose American nickname was Danny, described his horrifying 90-minute ordeal in an exclusive interview with the Boston Globe.
He recalled rolling down the window of his Mercedes after hearing a tap in the window then finding one of the most wanted men in the country -- Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- sitting in the passenger seat, pointing a gun at him.
The victim escaped at a gas station, when Dzhokhar Tsarnaev went inside to pay for gas, and Tamerlan put down the gun to use the car's navigation system.
"In that moment," Danny told the Globe, "I prayed."
Later that night, police intercepted the brothers in the blazing gunbattle that left Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead.
Kelly questioned Friday why the FBI in Boston was slow to notify them of the plans to attack Times Square, saying "there was a lag in info" and officials "don't know why," NBC 4 New York reported.
"We certainly hope it does not happen again," Kelly said.
It is questionable whether the Tsarnaevs could have successfully made the 200-mile trip to New York since they had become two of the most-wanted men in the world since the April 15 explosions that killed three people and injured more than 260. Their faces had been splashed all over the Internet and TV in surveillance-camera images released by the FBI. Yet the news that the city may have narrowly escaped another terrorist attack still made New Yorkers shudder.
Authorities say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev could get the death penalty. Christina DiIorio-Sterling, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz in Boston, would not comment on whether authorities plan to add charges based on the alleged plot to attack New York.
Meanwhile in Massachusetts, the Middlesex County district attorney's office said it is building a murder case against Tsarnaev for the death of MIT police officer Sean Collier three days after the bombings.
As authorities began disclosing the suspects' plans and motives, the hospital-room questioning of Tsarnaev is generating concern about whether he should have been interrogated without first being told of his constitutional rights to stay silent and have a lawyer present — and, conversely, whether federal agents actually should have had more time with him before he was read his rights.
Tsarnaev faced 16 hours of questioning before he was advised of his Miranda rights, and investigators say he told them of his role in the two bombings near the Boston Marathon finish line. He explained that he and his brother were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the killing of Muslims there, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the case with reporters.
Tsarnaev also described their plan to drive to New York and set off the remaining explosives there.
In Boston, federal agents invoked an exception to the Miranda warnings that allows for questioning when public safety may be threatened. But they knew their time with Tsarnaev in the absence of a lawyer would be limited.
On Sunday, prosecutors filed a criminal complaint charging Tsarnaev with a role in the bombings. That action led directly to an improvised court hearing in the hospital the following morning at which U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler told Tsarnaev he did not have to answer questions and could have a lawyer. He then stopped talking.
Civil liberties advocates have said a suspect should rarely be questioned without a lawyer and without being told he doesn't have to respond.
"Miranda rights are an incredibly important civil liberties safeguard," said Hina Shamsi of the American Civil Liberties Union. "The public safety exception must be read narrowly, as it has been by the courts."
But California Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, a former federal prosecutor, said he has questions about how the court proceeding came about.
"I would have thought the public safety exception would have allowed more time for the questioning of the suspect prior to the arraignment and/or advising of rights," Schiff said.
Based on the younger man's interrogation and other evidence, authorities have said it appears so far that the brothers were radicalized via Islamic jihadi material on the Internet instead of any direct contact with terrorist organizations, but they warned it is still not certain.
The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. The family was granted asylum.
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Thursday that the way the U.S. grants asylum to immigrants may need to be addressed after the marathon bombings.
"People getting asylum because they are in the minority, but engaging in aggressive tactics in their home country that may cause them to be susceptible to doing the same thing elsewhere, that obviously ought to be a part of our consideration in granting political asylum to avoid situations like Boston," said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who's working to develop a series of bills to fix problems with the country's immigration system.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended the asylum process this week in an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying it involves multiple layers of vetting.
A comprehensive immigration bill introduced last week in the Senate also may undergo changes in response to Boston. One of its authors, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., has suggested strengthening background checks done on certain immigrants considered higher-risk, such as refugees or asylum-seekers.
In New York, Kelly and Bloomberg said they were briefed on the New York plot on Wednesday night by the task force investigating the Boston bombing.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said in a CNN interview that the city should have been told earlier "so it could go into its defensive mode."
Kelly, citing the interrogations, said the Tsarnaev brothers "planned to travel to Manhattan to detonate their remaining explosives in Times Square" four days after the Boston bombing.
A day earlier, Kelly said that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had talked about coming to New York "to party" after the attack and that there wasn't evidence of a plot against the city. But Kelly said a later interview with the suspect turned up the information.
Kelly said there was no evidence New York was still a target. But in a show of force, police cruisers with blinking red lights were lined up in the middle of Times Square on Thursday afternoon, and uniformed officers stood shoulder to shoulder.
Outside Penn Station, Wayne Harris, a schoolteacher from Queens, said: "We don't know when a terrorist attack will happen next in New York, but it will happen. It didn't happen this time, by the grace of God. God protected us this time."
In 2010, Times Square was targeted with a car bomb that never went off. Pakistani immigrant Faisal Shahzad had planted a bomb in an SUV, but street vendors noticed smoke and it was disabled. Shahzad was arrested as he tried to leave the country and was sentenced to life in prison.
Meanwhile, the Tsarnaev brothers' father said he is leaving Russia for the U.S. in the next day or two, but their mother said she was still thinking it over.
Anzor Tsarnaev has expressed a desire to go to the U.S. to find out what happened with his sons, defend the hospitalized son and, if possible, bring the older son's body back to Russia for burial.
Their mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, who was charged with shoplifting in the U.S. last summer, said she has been assured by lawyers that she would not be arrested, but was still deciding whether to make the trip.

GORHAM, Maine -- After dropping Game One 2-1 behind a pair of defensive miscues, UMass Boston (16-16, 3-9) stormed back to grab the nightcap 11-6 over Southern Maine (4-30, 2-8) in a Little East Conference doubleheader at Towers Field.
The afternoon was highlighted by freshmen designated player Amanda Perry's (Worcester, Mass.) pair of home runs. Her home run in the third inning of Game One tied her with Siobhan Lynch (03-04) for the program mark and she earned sole possesion of the record with her 11th career home run in the top of the sixth of Game Two.
Junior Sue Killilea (Abington, Mass.) tied a program mark of her own in Game Two when she tripled to right field early in the top of the first inning. The triple was her tenth of the season, matching her total from the 2010 season. Killilea also owns the Beacons record for career triples with 24 and counting.
In Game One, Michelle Zullo (Everett, Mass.) went toe-to-toe with Stefanie Stockwell but the Beacons lost the pitchers duel on a pair of Huskies runs that were aided by UMass Boston miscues.
Zullo (8-7) had another strong start for the Beacons going six innings allowing two runs, one earned. She also scattered six hits and four walks while striking out three Huskies. Stockwell was slightly better, allowing just one run and five hits over seven innings.
Perry had the big hit for the Beacons, as she crushed a home run to right field for the lone UMass Boston run of the game.
Southern Maine jumped out to a 1-0 lead after two innings behind a Beacons error. After Annie Mitchell walked to start off the bottom of the second, Caitlin LeBorgne followed with a sacrifice bunt to third base. The Beacons recorded the out but first baseman Lisa Polsonetti (Revere, Mass.) threw the ball away trying to retire the runner as well and Mitchell came all the way around to score.
The lead wouldn't last very long, as Perry answered with her home run in the next half inning to tie the game at one. After several innings of nearly scratching a run across, the Huskies got on the board again in the bottom of the sixth. LeBorgne led off the inning with a double and advanced to third on a passed ball. Two batters later, Kayla Kennedy drove LeBorgne in with a sacrifice fly to provide the final margin.
Natalia Bouyea (East Longmeadow, Mass.) knotched the Beacons first hit since the top of the third with a leadoff single in the top of the seventh. But UMass Boston would record three straight outs to put down any chance of a rally.
UMass Boston's bats came alive in Game Two, as the Beacons pounded out six extra-base hits, fifteen hits and eleven runs.
Polsonetti was the offensive star of the nightcap with a 3-for-5 game with three runs, four RBI and her third career home run. Killilea added three hits, three runs and two RBI of her own, while Perry went 2-for-5 with a run and three RBI.
Senior third baseman Maria Nasta (Andover, Mass.) connected for three hits and Samantha Hemstock (Northford, Conn.) was the fifth Beacon with multiple hits, as she finished with two.
Pitcher Kara Willis (Burrillville, R.I.) got back to .500 (7-7) with a complete game victory. Willis allowed just three earned runs and struck out six Southern Maine batters.
UMass Boston got off to a quick start right away, as the Beacons jumped on the Huskies for two runs in the top of the first. Nasta tripled to right center to lead off the game and scored shortly afterward on an RBI groundout from Polsonetti. Killilea followed with her record-tying triple to right field and scampered home on a throwing error by the right fielder.
The Beacons continued to pound Stockwell in the second inning with two more runs to make it a 4-1game. Hemstock led off with a single and later scored when Polsonetti smashed a home run to left field with two outs.
Two innings later, the Beacons made it a 6-0 game and knocked Stockwell out of the game with a two-run fourth inning. Nasta started the inning with a single and Polsonetti followed with a single and both runners advanced on the throw. Killilea added a single to score Nasta to make it 5-0 and Polsonetti came around to score on a wild pitch with two outs to put the Beacons up 6-2 after four.
Southern Maine got back into the game with three runs in the bottom of the fifth but the Beacons had another quick response. Killilea reached base to lead off the sixth on an error and walked home when Perry hit her record-setting home run to left field to give UMass Boston an 8-5 edge.
The Beacons put the game out of reach in the top of the seventh with four straight hits with two outs. Nasta started with a single to center field and Polsonetti added her fourth RBI of the day with a double to. Killilea singled up the middle to bring Polsonetti home and Perry added her third extra-base hit of the day with a triple to score Killilea.
The Huskies tacked on an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh but Willis struck out the final two hitters to give the Beacons a split.
UMass Boston will finish off the conference slate when they travel to Western Connecticut Saturday for a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.

And THAT is why I haven't blogged in a while. (Can you feel a bullet point post coming on? No? Well, you should!)
- The week after Lilly turned 6, a friend of mine and I executed an almost flawless Field Day at the kids school. (The fire/earthquake drill right before hand was NOT part of the stupid plan!!)
- The same day was Lilly's last day as a Kindergartener. She is now a 1st grader. My how time flies.
- The NEXT day was the last day of school for Colin. HE is now a 4th grader. I went into his classroom for the very last time and got to hang with the kids until the Flag ceremony. They had me sign their yearbooks and their t-shirts (remember doing that?) and we had a lot of fun!
- We had a fun 1st week of summer vacation. Nothing too serious happened. BUT we did take our first trek to the Sno-Cone Shack on the corner for our weekly Snowie fix. Check one thing off of the bucket list!
- I got older. Quiet, relaxed, dessert filled Birthday, just the way I wanted it.
- Colin and I went to Cub Scout Day Camp up Millcreek Canyon. We had fun, he got to shoot an arrow and a BB Gun each for the first time! He was so excited- and earned some of his belt loops while we were there.
- Seth is playing Softball again this year. The team is getting better (since they started practicing) and I think they are all having fun. Only 1win- but that is better than last year!

Babies normally are born with two soft spots (fontanelles) on their
head: a large soft spot on the top and a small one on the back. The soft spots
are areas where the bones of the skull have not yet grown together.
Although they are called soft spots, these areas are made of tough
fiber and can be touched gently.
When a soft spot becomes hard, it is considered closed. By age 4
months, the soft spot on the back of the head has closed. By age 2 years, the
soft spot on the top of the head has closed.
Bulging of a fontanelle (soft spot) is a sign of increased pressure
inside the skull.

The moment of truth is coming for the "tea party" movement. Forget about Patriot's Day, or last week's excitement around tax day. The big show is the elections – both the primaries and Election Day, Nov. 2.
But trying to get a handle on how tea partyers will affect these votes can be like watching cats wrestle under the carpet. You know something's going on, but you're not quite sure what. This populist movement favoring low taxes, small government, and personal freedom has remained highly decentralized, by design. And it's anyone's guess how many active participants or local groups there are.
A former state GOP chair puts the number at 500-plus local tea party groups, and 15 umbrella groups. Mark Kibbe, president of the Washington-based FreedomWorks, which advises tea party groups, says there are "easily thousands of local groups."
Nailing down the demographics has also been a challenge. A recent Quinnipiac Poll showed tea partyers to be mostly female. Last week, a New York Times/CBS News survey found that a majority are men and older than the electorate as a whole.
"The tea party produces more noise than numbers," says David Wasserman, House race expert for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "The impact will be on the margins. But that's still relevant, because the majority in the House is on a knife's edge."
One of the marquee House races this cycle sits in the heart of Virginia, in the mostly rural, conservative-leaning Fifth Congressional District. Seven Republicans are vying in the June 8 primary to face freshman Rep. Tom Perriello (D); five are tea party adherents. So far, they are trailing state Sen. Robert Hurt, the Republican establishment favorite, in name recognition and fundraising.
"The downside for the tea party is that you have Senator Hurt, who is pretty much the anointed one from the GOP and gets that 'hard R' support," says Mark Lloyd, head of the Lynchburg Tea Party. "The others split up the rest of the support. Everybody's kind of got their favorite in the race."
Aside from being the establishment favorite, Hurt has also earned tea party scorn over his 2004 vote to increase taxes. The biggest problem, for now, is that the seven Republicans are spending money fighting among themselves, rather than going after the Democrat. If any of the tea party candidates breaks away before the primary to run as an independent, the problems could deepen, as the Republican/conservative vote could be split in the general election.
Across the nation, Republicans are flocking to run in congressional primaries, with more than double the number running in 2010 than in 2006. "Every Republican candidate wants to reach out to these local organizations in their state," says Mr. Wasserman.
The question is how many tea partyers enter the general election as independents, opposing both Republicans and Democrats on the ballot. That could happen in about 10 districts, he says.
In Senate races, tea-party-backed candidates are making a splash in several primaries:
•Florida: Former state House Speaker Marco Rubio (R) has rocked the political world with his insurgent campaign against Gov. Charlie Crist (R) for the state's open Senate seat. Governor Crist, at one time a popular moderate with a knack for fundraising, appeared unbeatable, but the more conservative Mr. Rubio looks poised to beat him in the Aug. 24 primary - if Crist remains in the battle at all. He is widely reported to be considering quitting the GOP and running for Senate as an independent, which would turn the general election into a three-way battle.
•Arizona: No less a figure than Sen. John McCain, the Republican Party's presidential nominee in 2008, faces a strong challenge from the right by former Rep. J.D. Hayworth. The Arizona tea party groups have opted not to make an endorsement in the Aug. 24 primary, but Mr. Hayworth is a clear favorite among rank-and-file tea partyers in the state.
•Kentucky: Trey Grayson, Kentucky's secretary of state, looked like a shoo-in to become the Republican nominee for the state's open Senate seat until Rand Paul came along. Mr. Paul, an ophthalmologist and antitax activist, has gained traction with tea partyers, who discount Mr. Grayson over his GOP establishment backing. Paul is also the son of libertarian Rep. Ron Paul (R) of Texas, which gives him cachet.
•Utah: Sen. Bob Bennett (R) presents perhaps the most striking example of an incumbent who could lose his seat because of tea party opposition. He is hardly a moderate, but he did support the original Wall Street bailout and has worked with Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon on healthcare legislation.
In this cycle, that could be enough to do him in. Senator Bennett may not even emerge from the May nominating convention with a spot on the November ballot.
"Bennett is 'establishment,' so to the tea party he's part of the problem," says Jennifer Duffy, Senate analyst for the Cook Political Report.
Despite the impact tea partyers have had in political races, leaders are still fighting the notion that their movement is amorphous and therefore less than legitimate.
In early April, a coalition of 23 tea party organizations formed a National Tea Party Federation aimed at coordinating messaging and addressing image problems in the media. The fact that one major tea party group, Tea Party Patriots, declined to join may just further the idea that the movement lacks organizational definition.
But, say supporters, that's the whole point. The tea party is a bottom-up, grass-roots phenomenon that will remain energized only if members feel empowered and not controlled by a central authority, they say.
"I think the formation of the federation is more a symbolic gesture," says Mr. Kibbe of FreedomWorks, which joined the group. "Even though there are different groups, different tactics, and different memberships, we're all sort of in this together."
And new groups are still forming. Mike Glantz, a retired businessman in Clermont, Fla., a suburb of Orlando, had his first meeting in late March, expecting 30 or 40 people to show up. He got 180. For him, the driving issue is health-care reform – and specifically, cuts to Medicare Advantage. For the younger members, it's the federal debt and jobs.
"This was the first time I saw a group in public be so [upset] about what's going on in Washington," Mr. Glantz says.
Glantz also objects to the image of tea partyers on TV as "a bunch of stupid rednecks." In his group, he has retired professionals, small-business men, schoolteachers. "One guy is a licensed engineer," he says. "Sounds like a pretty bright guy to me."
Some tea partyers don't need any leader at all to be active. Laurie Whitehead of Alexandria, Va., says in an e-mail that her leader is "PRINCIPLE!" "I stand with anyone who stands for our Constitution (original intent), our freedom (including free markets), and says NO to reckless government spending and socialism!"

FAQs - Ports of Call
Do I have to get off the ship at each port of call?No, you are never required to get off the ship. Some passengers prefer to spend the day onboard the ship, particularly when stopping at a port they've previously visited. Many ships have scheduled shipboard activities, even on port days.
How do I get from the ship to the pier?Depending on the size of your ship and the port of call, you'll either dock right at the pier, or be shuttled into port via tender (free of charge).
Can I charge items to my shipboard account when I'm in port?Shipboard accounts are for shipboard charges only. While in port, you can generally use a major credit card or traveler's check for most purchases. Most ports also have ATMs and money exchange centers.
Are there planned activities at ports of call?At each port of call, you have the option of booking a cruise line's shore excursions, or exploring on your own. All shore excursions can be booked at the ship's shore excursion desk. Of course, guests aren't required to get off the ship at all, and may prefer to spend a quiet day onboard.
Is there full meal service on port days?Yes, all ships have full meal service on both port and sea days.
Are meals paid for while I'm in port?No, you must pay for your own meals while in port. One exception is when your ship is visiting the cruise line's private island (generally on Caribbean itineraries), during which time a beach buffet is generally served free-of-charge.
Can I bring visitors to the ship?While friends and family are welcome at most piers to see you off, for security reasons only cruise passengers are allowed to board the ships. This applies at ports of call as well.

Sale and bequest Find out about the relevant aspects
Are you considering selling your home? Do you want to bequeath your house or apartment? Advance planning can pay off. We can help you, by providing information on topics including: what to do about the mortgage, taxes and fees, and bridging loans.
Find out in good time which issues could be relevant to you when selling or bequeathing a property:
- Selling your home: Which costs and taxes will you be required to pay?
- Planning the bequest of your property: What do you need to consider?
- Transferring or terminating your mortgage: Which options are open to you?
1. Selling your home
Does your home no longer meet your needs in terms of its size and features? Start preparing for the sale or exchange of your residential property well in advance. We will help you to navigate through all of the important tasks which lie ahead.
Estimate the value of your home
Before you sell your home, the value of the property will need to be assessed. The key factors on which the valuation is based are the year of construction, the condition of the property, and the area of the land plot, as well as the quality of the location and the surrounding infrastructure.
Advertise the property
Want to sell your house or apartment? Advertise on UBS's partner portal ImmoScout24.
Bridging loans
Have you found your dream property but have yet to sell your current home? Speak to us to find out about the advantages offered by a bridging loan.
Tax considerations
Certain taxes are levied when a property is subject to a change in ownership. If you generate a profit on the sale of your home, you are subject to real estate gains tax. This levy can usually be deferred if you buy a new residential property. The deadline for purchasing a new property is set by the individual cantons.
2. Planning the bequest of your property
Do you want to bequeath your house or apartment to your children? Together we can plan all of the important steps in good time and provide you with advice on key topics including:
- The value of your home
- Tax considerations and options (inheritance tax, gift tax)
Get your heirs involved at an early stage and have them play an active role in the planning process: arrange a personal consultation where we will go through the financing rules which will apply to your heirs and calculate the affordability of the property for the future owners.
3. Transferring or terminating your mortgage
When you sell or bequeath your residential property, your mortgage can be transferred or terminated depending on the circumstances. Together we can assess the following options:
- Transfer of the mortgage to a new buyer
- Transfer of the mortgage to a new property
- Premature termination of the mortgage (will incur costs)
Do you have any questions regarding the value of your home, the potential opportunities of bridging loans when moving house, or questions relating to topics which are of relevance when bequeathing or giving away your property as a gift? Our experience is there to help you.

Muffin Recipes
By Kim Ross
Breakfast is one of my nemesis'. The boys get bored with the same thing, so I try to mix it up as much as I can. This muffin mix allows you to use one mix and change it up with different ingredients to make different types of muffins. These also freeze wonderfully!
Plain Muffin Mix
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
10 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 cup minus 1 tablespoon sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
Cupcake wrappers, vegetable cooking spray or butter for greasing tins.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in medium bowl; set aside.
Cream butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in one-half of dry ingredients. Beat in yogurt. Beat in remaining dry ingredients, until incorporated.
Spray 12-cup muffin tin or put wrappers in it. Spoon batter into tins and bake until muffins are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and serve. They freeze wonderfully!
Different kinds:
Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts or blueberries to main mix or follow some of the variations below.
Raspberry Almond Muffins
Follow the main recipe and add 3 tablespoons almond extract with butter and sugar. Spoon one-half of a portion of batter into each cup. With small spoon, make a well in center of each cup of dough. Spoon 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons raspberry (or other flavored) jam into each well. Cover with remaining batter.
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Follow the main recipe and add 3 tablespoons poppy seeds to the dry ingredients, and 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest to the butter-sugar mixture. While muffins are baking, heat 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice from 2 small lemons in small saucepan until sugar dissolves and mixture forms light syrup, 3-4 minutes. Brush warm syrup over warm muffins and serve.
Banana Walnut Muffins
Follow the main recipe adding 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg to dry ingredients, substituting 1 cup packed light brown sugar for granulated sugar and folding 1 1/2 cups finely diced bananas (about 3 small) and 3/4 cup chopped walnuts into finished batter.
What's your favorite kind of muffin?

Mail Pilot: Email Reimagined
What exactly is Mail Pilot?
Mail Pilot is an online service with native apps for iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, and Linux. Mail Pilot adds services to your existing mail accounts that it syncs between all of your devices. Your email is never stored on our servers, and is left on your current email servers. Our servers store metadata about those messages to bring to you the reimagination of email that so many have come to love. Read on...
The Current Email Crisis
Email is in need of a fresh start. A redesign from the ground up. With your support, mail pilot will forever change the way that we interact with email.
Mail Pilot intuitively works the way you've always wanted to use email:
Your inbox is now a to-do list...
- Complete / Incomplete Control Button
All new messages arrive as incomplete and remain that way even after you've read them. Mark a message as complete only after you finish any further action associated with that email. Completed messages are archived to decrease Inbox clutter, but can still be accessed by browsing or searching.
Your inbox is now your assistant…
- Mark for Review
When you don't have time for a message, click the "Mark for Review" button. This message disappears from your inbox. Later, when you have more time, you can enter a "Review Mode" session to fly through these messages.
- Review Timelines & Review Lists
Tell Mail Pilot a later date on which you wish to review a message. On that date, it will reappear in your inbox. Mail Pilot also allows you to group similar messages into custom review lists to be acted on as a group.
The Mail Pilot Difference...
Mail Pilot allows you to do even more with features such as:
- Account Compatibility
Mail Pilot works with all major email services, so you don't need a new email address. There is no need to importing anything: Mail Pilot constantly stays in sync with your current email accounts.
- Single Login
Gone are the days of having to configure all of your different email accounts on each of your devices. Link all of your email accounts to your Mail Pilot login, and they automatically sync with all of your devices.
- Autopilot
Set Mail Pilot to automatically mark specific messages for review, skipping the inbox. For example, send all messages you've been CC'd in to be reviewed when you have more time, set weekly newsletters to be reviewed on a specific date, or automatically have responses to a job opening put into a specific review list.
- Browse
Find emails more quickly and intuitively. Mail Pilot automatically determines your recent top contacts, and places their icon in the browse box. Click an icon to immediately see messages involving that contact.
- ...And Much More
We've been working on tons of other reimaginations to the email client. Intelligent Compose, Intelligent Reply, Drill Down Bar, Similar Messages, Calendar View, Pilot-to-Pilot, and many other features will be making their debut with Mail Pilot.
We can only do this with your help...
We've been working for months conceptualizing and developing Mail Pilot for you. We have a working prototype, but we need your support to make it through the final stretch. Pledge to our campaign to ensure that we can reach our goal and get Mail Pilot into your hands by June.
Furthermore, become a part of this movement. Stand with us in challenging the status quo of today's uninspired inefficient software. Help us usher in a new era of smarter, more productive technology that truly works for you. Be sure to share this project with your contacts.
We all have to use email, but only with your help, will we be able to use email in the most intuitive and natural way possible.
Where the money will go...
While we have a working prototype of Mail Pilot, there's more we'd like to do before launch. Some of these things are going to cost us, including:
- Hosting. We need some serious hosting space to deploy our storage-intensive services.
- Native Apps. To ensure the best experience, we plan to develop native apps for the desktop and the mobile (that's a lot of apps). We'll need to bring on some additional developers to get these done in time.
- Push Notifications. Push notifications will make Mail Pilot a full replacement for email on the mobile. They also require additional hosting, and the native apps.
- Marketing. We hope the efforts we put into our Kickstarter campaign will produce enough exposure for awhile. However, we realize we'll have to put more time and energy into marketing before we officially launch Mail Pilot.
What our fans & backers are saying about Mail Pilot
We've been gaining some serious momentum! Our supporters are very important to us, so we were excited to see what they had to say popping up on Twitter, in our emails, and on Kickstarter. Here's a few:
"Ingenious" -New York Times (David Pogue)
"Kickstarter of the Week!—Anyone willing to take a crack at rethinking email gets my full-throated support." -WIRED Insider (@WIREDInsider)
"Mail Pilot is to email as Firefox was to the browser five years ago." @traviswebb88
Funding period
- (38 days)

How We Show Appreciation for Our Military
By Mika Cross on May 30, 2017
Bradley served 10 years in the U.S. Army as a military police officer, but when he left, the civilian job market he found was less friendly than the one he remembered. Looking for a leg up, he visited an American Job Center in Las Vegas, where he received help updating his resume and determining how to present his military skills in a way that would appeal to potential employers. Soon, he was back to work as a regional representative in the Las Vegas office for Sen. Dean Heller.
Bradley is one of more than 800,000 veterans who get help at the Labor Department's American Job Centers every year. One of the most important ways our Veterans' Employment and Training Service supports transitioning military service members and their families is by ensuring a successful transition to a meaningful civilian career, once they have completed their time in service.
How do we do that?
We prepare veterans, transitioning service members and their spouses for meaningful civilian careers during the Department of Labor Employment Workshop, a key part of the Transition Assistance Program.
We provide free employment resources and expertise through local community resources across the country via our American Job Centers.
We protect service members' civilian employment rights once their tour of duty concludes, thanks to the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act.
We promote employment opportunities in a number of ways, such as on www.veterans.gov and on Twitter @VETS_DOL, and help educate employers about hiring qualified veterans.
Early planning for the transition to civilian life can make a huge difference for a veteran. The earlier veterans familiarize themselves with the kinds of training, skills and certifications that are most needed in the civilian labor market, the better they are prepared to map their career and educational goals.
The Transition Assistance Program and a visit to your local American Job Center can help tremendously in the spirit of planning ahead. AJCs offer priority of service for veterans and free employment help with finding jobs, writing resumes and fine-tuning interview skills. And with nearly 2,400 American Job Centers located across the country, it's easy for veterans to find one close to them.
During this Military Appreciation Month, we show our appreciation by giving American veterans, transitioning service members and their spouses the tools they need to get back on track towards a successful civilian career. Learn more at www.veterans.gov.
Mika Cross is the strategic communications adviser for the department's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. Follow VETS on Twitter as @VETS_DOL.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 8 (UPI) -- The LPGA announced a season-long points race for 2014 that will result in a $1 million payout for the eventual winner.
The LPGA's "Race to the CME Globe" will begin with the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic Jan. 23-26 and conclude with the Lorena Ochoa Invitational Nov. 13-16. The GME Group Tour Championship is scheduled for Nov. 20-23.
"The addition of this concept fundamentally connects every event on our tour and promises big things in 2014 and beyond," LPGA Tour Commissioner Michael Whan said in a release. "The stakes have risen dramatically and the excitement level goes up for our players and each of our tournaments."
Players can earn points toward the year-end title in each tournament. The five major events will be given 25 percent more weight in points but all other events are worth the same number of points, the LPGA said. Winners of the majors will collect 625 points and those who win regular tour tournaments 500.
All players who make a tournament cut will earn points. For events without a cut, the top 40 and ties will gain points. At the Lorena Ochoa Invitational, which is a more limited field, the top 20 and ties can earn points.
The players who are among the top 72 in points or have a win on the LPGA Tour would gain entry to the Tour Championship. The points standings are to be reset before to Tour Championship to assure that the points race would be won at the final tournament.
