This generous, robust canvas bag is made from recycled denim in various shades of black. Modern and stylish, this denim tote will soon become your go-to bag for work or play. The bold 'pieced together' design takes inspiration from the timeless art of patchwork quilting. Preloved denim jeans are meticulously deconstructed and precisely cut and sewn together into contemporary designs. The abstract design on the front panel is complimented by a more minimal style on the back. The bag is fully lined with a subtle striped, light indigo coloured fabric. An original jeans pocket provides a convenient place to put your phone and keys on the inside.Patchwork has been practised as both practical and decorative crafts for centuries. Reuse and repurpose of materials are the driving force behind my art and design. Through artistic experimentation and abstraction I have reshaped preloved denim jeans into contemporary denim accessories for you and your home. **This item has been redesigned from clean, pre-worn denim jeans, giving it a unique patina.

What We Do
Writing computer programs is inefficient. It is time-consuming, error-prone, and expensive. It is also vitally important to your business.
Faster Programmers supplements your IT team with excellent software developers and a software project manager. We deliver software by focusing on quality. Our focus on code and developer quality makes our software perform and scale well.
"Nearshore" USA-Led Software Development
Ideally, all software would be developed by teams who work in the same room with the clients.
Unfortunately, few companies can afford that structure. The cost of finding and hiring excellent programmers in North America and Europe is staggering. On the other hand, bids from offshore software development companies are often races to the bottom: ridiculously low effort estimates combined with a cynical business model of supplying low-cost, low-quality development and latching on an endless stream of change-orders.
Faster Programmers is based in the United States. We do use talented programmers from all over the globe, every one of which has been personally vetted by Faster Programmers' President Larry O'Brien. Every Faster Programmer has passed a test of their programming and communication skill.
Faster Programmers believes that excellent software developers should be compensated more than average programmers. In the case of programmers from developing economies in South America and Asia, this policy still generally leads to a per-hour rate that is highly competitive. Since excellent developers are much more productive than average or below-average programmers, Faster Programmers delivers value at the highest achievable rate.
You can find a lower quote. You cannot find a better value.
So what's different?
We deliver business value by developing software rapidly.
We don't think our job is to code. We don't think our job is to talk.
We think our job is to be guided by our clients' decisions as we rapidly iterate the development of not-quite-right software.
We don't blindly pound at our keyboards until nothing breaks and we don't think our responsibilities end at "I did what you asked me to."
We could talk about our experience, but what it boils down to is that we are a small group of excellent developers who can rapidly address technical challenges and, over time, help teams become more agile, more trusted, and more satisfying.
We are not blocked by technology: We like Ruby but are expert at C# and C++. We like Rails but have architected systems in ColdFusion and PHP. Lately, we've been enjoying developing for the iPhone.
We write excellent code: If our clients allow, we develop automated quality and performance test suites for our work ("test-driven development"). We design and implement our work so that it is easy to evolve: whether that means a bug identified today, an alternative design conceived tomorrow, or a scaling challenge in a year.
We deliver results quickly: We almost always initially address a specific "pain point," a prototype of a new concept or a refactoring of a dysfunctional component. We are experts at "spinning up" on projects and rapidly delivering value.
We share our expertise: Over time, we love to help clients transform their teams into faster programmers.
The story starts (and ends) with excellent developers. But excellent project management is also necessary.
The past decade has seen a revolution in software development: we now know the best way to achieve great results is to emphasize rapid development of incremental, easy-to-change functionality.
We believe in the principles of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
We are not PowerPoint-toting "methodology consultants." Our unofficial motto is "Faster Programmer! Code! Code!". We adapt ourselves to our customers' needs and management style. We strongly prefer to use agile project management and software development techniques. If you use those techniques, great. If not, we'd love to show you how they can help your company.
Faster. Better. Profitable.
We rapidly ship software that delivers business value.
Every time we ship, we get a little better. We embrace what works, we abandon what doesn't. We aren't attached to any movement, we don't think there's only one way to develop software, we don't make our living by promising silver bullets.
The last 3 systems we architected are doing in excess of $600M in transactions per year. References available.

Common Name(s): European Lynx, Siberian Lynx
American Scientific Name: Lynx Lynx
Weight: 30-48 pounds
Head/Body: 31 – 51 inches
Tail: 4 to 9 inches
Gestation: ~68 to 72 days
Status: Stable (vulnerable in some areas)
The Eurasian lynx is nearly twice as large as the Canadian Lynx, but has similar body proportions. Both cats have long legs, large paws, short tails, and triangular ears tipped with tufts of black hairs, but the Eurasian lynx is usually marked with large well-defined dark spots. Both males and females often have a ruff or collar of long hair around their neck and under their chin. The Eurasian lynx can weigh as much as 84 pounds, but more usually males average 44 pounds,while females weigh about 37 pounds. They stand 23 – 27 inches at the shoulder, and head and body length is 31 – 51 inches, with a tail measuring 4 to 6 inches.
As the largest lynx species, Eurasian Lynx prey on wild ungulates but will eat smaller animals when deer are scarce. Unlike the Canada Lynx and Iberian Lynx, this cat does not rely on hares, and thus is not dependent on fluctuating rabbit populations. They have been seen to cache carcasses in trees, especially in areas where there are other carnivore competitors. Though rabbits and hares form the major part of their diet, they also eat mice, birds, and deer.
The lynx prefers a forested area with plenty of dense undergrowth and cover. However, it is an adaptable cat and can live in rocky areas, open forests, and even scrub and brushy areas. The Eurasian lynx has recently been reintroduced into parts of Germany, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, Italy, and Austria. It now roams over an area that includes western Europe, USSR, Scandinavia, Asia Minor, Iran, and Iraq. To the east, it ranges through Mongolia, Manchuria and the mountainous areas of Central Asia.
Mating occurs in the early spring and one to five young are born after a gestation period of about ten weeks. The young continue to nurse for as long as five months but begin to eat solid food when they are a month to six weeks old. Kittens remain with their mother until she mates again in the winter, but siblings may stay together after they leave their mother.
Lynx are solitary, but the ranges of females may overlap to some extent. Lynx can swim well and may climb trees to catch prey.

Whether you have a soggy backyard, storm-water in your basement, or just want to take progressive steps towards a sustainable lifestyle, green infrastructure could be right for you. Green Infrastructure (GI) can come in many forms but the most common types of GI for individual households are rain barrels, rain gardens, and permeable pavements. Do you want your own GI? The information below will help you get started.
Rain Barrels
Used to collect rain water from the roof of your home, rain barrels can be a great way to save water and lower your water bill by watering your lawn or garden with a free supply of your own rain water. These barrels help to reduce the amount of storm water that runs off of your property and overwhelms the sewer system during heavy rains. By installing a rain barrel you are not just conserving water, you are keeping water out of our sewers and allowing for it to return to the ground.
The average rain barrel will hold between 45-60 gallons of water and they come in a variety of styles. You can pick one up at you local hardware store, or search online for rain barrel workshops put on by you local Sierra Club or other non-profit organizations. These workshops provide you with a step-by-step in person deminstration of how to properly install a rain barrel as well as answers to any questions you might have. You also get to leave with a rain barrel and everything you need to install it at the end of the workshop!
Rain Gardens
Installing a rain garden on your property can be a fun weekend project that helps to reduce storm water run off. Storm water runoff in developed areas contributes greatly to flooding and overwhelming our sewer systems, but it also carries water pollutants such as pesticides and fertilizers from some properties into our water ways, containating our clean water. To reduce the amount of rain water that comes from your property you can install a rain garden and direct your gutter downspout directly into it. Click here for instructions on how to properly install a rain garden as told by the Rain Garden Network!
Some plant choices native to Ohio that will thrive in your newly established rain garden include:
- New Englan Aster
- Switchgrass
- Blue Flag Iris
- Butterfly Weed
- Fox Sedge
- Cardinal Flower
Permeable Pavements
If you are looking for a project that has a tremendous impact on reducing storm water runoff, but involves a little more work, permeable pavements might be worth looking into. Many driveways, patios, and parking lots are made of impermeable materials. This means that none of the rain water that accumulates on the surface can pass through it and back into our groundwaters. Instead, rain water that hits impermeable surfaces runs off of the surface while accumulating in volume and causing flooding in the surrounding areas. Replacing an old impermeable surface with a permeable one takes a little more research and planning but can pay off significantly in the long run. For example, replacing a parking lot with permeable-pavers could save thousands of gallons of water from ending up in our sewer systems during just one rain.

Alrighty guys. I had a really cool post for you all, but you know shit happens so I feel the need to share this instead.
Like I've said, I'm taking the semester off at Temple and found someone to take over my room in my apartment. The ad I put up said the rent would be 650 furnished, and the person would be able to move in and start paying rent in Feb since I already payed the rent for January.
Found someone and she agreed to all the terms. The rent is really 600 but I added on 50 dollars for my furniture. I guess my whack ass roommate informed her that it's really 600 so now home girl decides to only deposit 1,200 into my account oppose to 1,300. When I asked her why, she said she thought the rent was 600.
1st WTF moment.
How could you think that? The post said 650, I told you 650, and you agreed to it. Then she goes, "well I thought the 50 dollars was for the furniture." So I straight up told her, "look! it's 650, what are you going to do? This is the way I wanted to rent my apartment and if you don't like it you have plenty of time to leave. You pretty much agreed on a price with me, moved into my house, decided what you wanted to pay, and then dictated that to me."
So i text her at like 1am-my bad- and said I would be coming to get my stuff tomorrow morning at 9am. Sorry abut the inconvenience but it's the only time my parents could make to come and if I don't get to come tomorrow, I don't know when I will be able to get my things.
This bitch tells me, "you can get your things, but I will be asleep. It's inconsiderate for you to come at 9 in the morning. All of your stuff is packed up in the living room" In other words, you can't come in the room.
Yea, she must have fell and bumped her head.
I have payed the rent, cable, and lights for January which is still not over, and she is living it out for free, still didn't deposit her extra 50 dollars, and she is telling me that she can't wake up for 5 mins to have me inspect the room and sign the agreement.
I swear, if I was some kind of hood bitch she would be getting her ass kicked tomorrow morning at 9:00AM sharp. Now my mom is all upset about it and is really like, we have no problem giving her her money back and finding someone else because shit is ridiculous.
Don't even know why she made a big deal about it because regardless, I'm gonna do what I have to do tomorrow.

The Brister family came to Texas before the Texas Revolution. There were several of them, mostly related. Two brothers, WIlliam and Daniel, fought in the revolution and received pay and land grants for reward. They brought a number of people from Natchez Mississippi and, by some accounts, from Ireland, to their landgrant in Bexar County, in that area to be split off later as Atascosa County.
In Atascosa County, Texas, near the current day town of Cambelltown, the Brister settlement was founded. It had its own school and probably its own church. A number of people lived in the area, including the Goynes and Goldman familes, related to the Bristers by marriage. All that is left is the old cemetary.Brister Cemetary List
A number of the young Brister men married Irish women, and it seems William and his son Wiley Frank, and maybe others, went to Ireland and brought back a boat full of brides. One story said they brought back an entire village. Frank, who had been married to Angeline Jourdan according to a list of Atascosa marriages, had wed an Irish woman named Lucinda Sullivan who died in childbirth on the sea passage. Frank hired young Frankie Newman to watch the child while he went with the men to Texas to settle their land. He returned or sent for the child and Frankie Newman, marrying her in Atascosa County.SEE"The Spirit of Lucinda Sullivan"
There is a record that Daniel and William Brister had headrights in Liberty County a few years later. but since the claim numbers are exactly what the Bexas-Atascosa claims were, the Liberty County grants may have been a registration error.
William Brister, age 50, farmer, born in S.C. listed as family 169 on page 329/330 of the 1850 Bexar County census. He had living in his family Maryan, 35, born in Miss.; William, 14, Born in Miss; Wiley F., 12; George W. 10, Daniel J., 10, John C. 8, Yancy G., 6, James L. 3, & Martha J., 4/12, all born in Texas
Daniel Brister, age 45, a farmer born in Ky and family is listed as family 167 in the 1850 Bexar County census, page 330. No other Brister families listed
If you would like a copy of the census record, you should contact the registrar of the San Antonio Genealogical and Historical Society at firstname.lastname@example.com. Volunteers for the society do limited research at a cost of $7 an hour plus copy and mailing costs.
Walter Seaborn Brister was the youngest son of Frank and Frankie Newman Brister. At the age of 95 he was interviewed for a story in the Wilson Co. News.ARTICLE
"FIRST SETTLERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS VOL II, Headright land grants which were reported as genuine and legal by the Traveling Commissioners, January, 1840. Printed first by Cruger and Wing, Printers, Austin: 1841l Contains records from the following counties: Jefferson, Liberty, Matagorda, MIlam, Montgomery, Nacogdoches, Red River, Refugio, Robertson, Sabine, San Augustine, Shelby, Victoria and Washington". Reproduction Copyright 1982 by Carolyn R. Ericson and Frances T. Ingmire. --------------I have found copies of this book in two local libraries so I assume it is easy to find. Headrights are listed as First, Second, and Third Class with William and Daniel Brister having second class lands of 1280 acres each on October 4, 1838 in Liberty County on page 204. They are listed number 324 and 323.
"REPUBLIC OF TEXAS SECOND CLASS HEADRIGHTS" March 2, 1836-October 1, 1837. Record of Second Class Certificates. Compiled by Benjamin F. Purl, Texas Land Office Employee from old records. Begun Jan. 29, 1904. Finished April 6th, 1904. Transcribed and Additional Information by Alma Nettie Wilson Barnes, San Jacinto Chapter, Daughters of the Republic of Texas, 1974." Daniel and William again listed number 324 and 323, respectively. with land in Atascosa County in the Bexar land district, 1280 acres each on page 27. Atascosa County was carved from Bexar county along with numerous other south Texas Counties. A map included in the book was instructive.
Please note that both references had the same file number although the counties were different. The first reference had a number of file numbers for other individuals in the vicinity of 324-323. We know that the families resided in present-day Atascosa County. An 1840 map of Texas counties would be required to determine if Liberty County in those days had the same boundaries as it does today.
Other early Texas Bristers found:
Nathaniel R. Brister served with Fannin at Goliad from October 20, 1835 to March 27, 1836 when he was killed. His heirs received Bounty land grant for 1920 acres (redeemed as 1120 acres in Shackleford and Stephens Counties) and Donation Land Grant for 640 acres (redeemed in Haskell County). Pages 129 and 733 of "BOUNTY AND DONATION LAND GRANTS OF TEXAS, 1835-1888 by Thomas Lloyd Miller, 1967, University of Texas Press".
Benjamin K. Brister had third class Headrights of 320 acres in Houston, County on December 2, 1839 (Page 204). "FIRST SETTLERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS, VOL. I".
Daniel Jasper was accused of the murder of M.L. Peavey on 30 June 1869 and was acquitted on June 26, 1872. He is buried at the Goynes Cemetary, near I H 35 about a mile north of Goynes Junction... On the west side of I H. 35.
Margaret Frances McMurray, Her father and Wiley W. Goynes, Sister Susan Goynes Tindol, and Martha Brister Goynes married to Wiley Williamson Goynes are also buried there. Other names include Bolgiano and Dickerson.
Now, ten men are a small crew to handle a herd of 4500 cattle, especially when the cattle are hungry, thirsty, and feverish from having been ginned about, especially also when the men have been in the saddle almost constantly for sixty hours. Fortunately, they had brought plenty of horses. They managed to get the cattle to the Lipan Creek by dark, camping near Dan Brister's Ranch.
That night word came in that another herd of cattle fresh from ranges to the east was over on Atascosa Creek to the south. In the morning Bill Butler took four men with him, leaving five to ride around the 4500 cattle. Towards the close of the day he returned with 1200 head that he had cut out of this second herd.
The men had now been in the saddle for three days and most of three nights. They had not had time to cook anything to eat, but had merely "snacked" off cold biscuits and meat that they had brought along in morrals. That morning before leaving the camp at the Brister's ranch, however, Butler had detailed A.M. Nichols, sixteen years old at the time to butcher a cow and cook her.
Nichols had borrowed an axe and a spade from Brister, had dug a trench, made a fire in it, and then built over it a scaffold of green poles. The meat of the cow had barbecued all day over the coals, and Mrs. Brister had cooked up a washtub full of biscuits. Also in borrowed utensils young Nichols had made five gallons of coffee. The cowmen from Goliad and Bee counties were hourly expected. At dusk they dashed in.
Martha was sister to William and Daniel. She was born 1804 in Kentucky, and died in Texas. She is buried Gussettville Cemetery. She married WILEY WILLIAMSON SR. GOYNES 09 May 1822 in Lawrence Co. Mississippi, son of JAMES GOYNES.
Gussettvill Cemetery beside the Old St. Joseph's Catholic Church. is where Wiley & Martha are buried.
The Cadiz baptist Church, first known as Lapara Baptist Church, was organized on Aug 12 , 1877, under a tree on land that now belongs J.H. Coward. Elders A.H. Barber, John East and James Scarborough assisted in the organization. The minutes of that organization show the following members coming by letter: Bro. George Barber, Bro. J.M. Davis, Elder John East, Sister Martha Goynes, Sister C.F. Johnson, Sister Elizabeth Collier, Sister Susan Dickerson, Bro. C.B. Ferrell, Bro. Edward Hinnen.
Bro. West Collier and Sister Susan Davis came by restoration. The same record shows the following members came by baptism: Sister M.D. Barber, Sister S.E. Brister, Sister Dollie Dickerson, Sister Michel Ferrell, Bro. Armey Judd, Bro. John Price, Bro. Edwin Sisson, Bro. G.W. Tindol Sister Susan Tindol, Sister M.J. Turner, Bro. Mark Judd, Sister J.F. Brister, Bro. Buck Cheak, Sister F.A. Ferrell, Bro. W.M. Jenkins, Sister Julia Judd, Sister Sarah Lee, Sister Laura Price, Sister Virginia Sisson, Bro. George Turner, Sister N.C. Turner.
These pioneer members of the church believed in Christians living exemplary lives as they understood the meaning; and when a brother or sister erred, a committee would visit the sinner and plead with him to repent and ask forgiveness and restoration to fellowship in the church. If this council was unheeded, the erring one would be excluded from fellowship of the church for an act of misconduct ranging from dancing or drunkenness to adultery. The church ceased this practice many years ago.
Notes for WILEY WILLIAMSON SR. GOYNES: Wiley Williamson Goynes filed a will in Live Oak Co. in 1877.

When it comes to satire, is this book the greatest of all time?
If the best satire offends on equal footing, then Paul Beatty's blistering novel "The Sellout" may eventually be known as the GOAT (greatest of all time) in the genre. Beatty's novel, his fourth, won the 2016 Britain's Man Booker Prize for fiction – the first time an American has ever won the honor. Beatty, 54, was born in raised in Southern California, where the novel is set, in a black agrarian community outside of Los Angeles called Dickens. The African American narrator whose father was killed during a traffic stop creates a social experiment, becoming a slave owner to a volunteer named Hominy Jenkins, who once understudied Buckwheat on "The Little Rascals." There's much more as Beatty seems influenced by Ralph Ellison, Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Pryor and Mark Twain.
Available at book retailers including Amazon ($9.60 - $17.68 for paperback, Kindle or hardcover, amazon.com).

From University of Rochester Athletics, Dennis O'Donnell
There is a common thread that unites Rochester's individual national champions. Their coaches had the confidence that the athlete could succeed at the highest possible level.
Link to Story on UR Site
The sport itself does not matter: track and field, cross country, tennis, golf. The championship coaches – Timothy Hale, Jacqueline Blackett, Peter Lyman, Richard Johnson, Jay Petsch - all shared the same advice: You can do this.
A Three-Time Champion Who Nearly Won Four
Josefa Benzoni '89 won three national championships in track and field. She was nipped for the 1987 outdoor 1,500 meters title in the final stages of the race. Benzoni fed off that performance, winning the indoor 1,500 in 1988 and 1989, as well as the 3,000 meters in 1989.
"One must recognize and accept that any one of the competitors is strong enough to win on a given day," Benzoni said. "Therefore, it is of utmost importance to believe in yourself. Run your race, not theirs."
One of Blackett's most important contributions in the winter of 1989 was instilling confidence in Benzoni: believe in yourself. No one will conquer you when you run your race.
When Benzoni won the 1,500 title in 1988, she broke the NCAA record set by Mary Schlick of Macalester in 1987. She repeated as champion in 1989, winning by four seconds.. "I knew my competition and believed I was the strongest mentally and physically that day," Benzoni said.
Fueled by Benzoni's two titles, the 1989 Yellowjackets wound up second nationally, their highest ever finish at NCAAs. Five women – Natalie Anderson, Lesa Hojnicki, Jessica Lyon, Anita Acre, and Benzoni – combined for 31 team points.
It Began With A Long Race -- Two of Them, Actually David MollerRochester's first individual national champions came at the same NCAA outdoor meet. David Moller won the 3-Mile run (now the 5,000 meters) and Anthony Palumbo won the triple jump in 1974. "Our workouts were designed to peak at the end of season," Moller said, "so intensity always increased up to the week before and then relaxed the week of a major race. I remember Coach Hale said he thought I was good enough to win."
In the fall of 1973, he ran in the College Division cross country race. (This was equivalent to Division II these days.) There didn't appear to be major differences between College Division XC and Division III track and field. "Coach Hale mentioned a few of the runners he thought would be competing to win, so if a runner from that college jersey was in the front pack, I assumed he was a threat."
His win in the 3-Mile Run led him into the 1974 cross country season where he won the Division III championship by more than 12 seconds. "It was muddy, cool, cloudy, drizzly," Moller said, "my type of day for cross country running."
An Injury Proved Beneficial
In 1974, Palumbo pulled his hamstring on the approach for his first long jump in the opening meet at Lehigh on April 6. He finally jumped on May 11 at the New York State outdoor championships. He missed six meets. "It was difficult," Palumbo admitted. "But this unplanned 'taper' was necessary for my body to recover from all the heavy lifting that I had done during the winter."
At the indoor state meet in his senior year, Palumbo led the triple jump with a distance of 46'5". Colgate's John Pottle cleared 46' 11 ¾". Palumbo jumped a personal best 47' ½". "Whenever there is a task that seems impossible (now)," Palumbo says, "I think about that day and gain confidence."
At NCAAs, his right instep hurt so badly, he worried that he might not be able to jump. A visit to the trainer resulted in two hours of heat, massage, and finally the application of ice. Nothing was helping.
At noon, he iced his foot to numb it and wrapped athletic tape around the right shoe to support the instep. He didn't want to take typical warm-up approaches, concerned an injury would knock him out.
His first jump covered 48' and Palumbo noticed the pain was gone. All of his other jumps exceeded 49'. His best was 18' on the hop, 16' for the step, and 16' for the jump – goals he hoped for while training.
Robert Ryan almost made it a threesome of national champions in one year. He finished second in the decathlon. "Bob was a great athlete able to do all the events so well," Palumbo said. "He was a fearless pole vaulter and high hurdler."
Putting It In Perspective
Michelle Mazurik Maybaum won the 1986 55 meter dash title, one year after finishing third. In the 80s, Rochester was a stronghold for women's track and field. Renee Schmitt Somerville won the 1985 heptathlon. Benzoni won three national titles in 1988 and 1989.
Maybaum had a terrific career as a sprinter: six All-America awards plus a national title. She tied her success to several factors: quickness, speed, and Blackett's advice as a coach.
"Coach told me she could see me let up when I would get close to the runner in front of me instead of continuing to pick up speed," Maybaum said. She hadn't thought of the mental component of her races. From then on, Maybaum would spend time before each race picturing herself passing runners in front of her and winning. "I guess that worked."
Setting Up His Strategy
Tom Tuori '87 finished third in the outdoor 1,500 meters as a sophomore and sixth as a junior. Injuries played havoc with him from December 1985 (junior) to February 1987 (senior). He ran time trials in dual meets to prepare for a hard 1,500 at NCAAs. He ran three races at 4-minute mile pace for three-quarters of a mile, slowing at the end.
When he stepped to the line at NCAAs, the favorite was Arnie Schrader of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, the two-time defending national champion. Tuori's race plan was to push the pace. He got in front early, then settled into a 59-second per lap pace. Schrader was on his outside shoulder in lane 2, pushing to take the lead despite the pace. Tuori kept the lead for 500 meters dropped behind Schrader and let him take the lead.
He stayed behind for a lap and a half, then pushed into the lead with one lap left. He increased the pace. On the backstretch, Tuori went into an all-out sprint with 250 meters left. Schrader never countered the maneuver and Tuori hit the final straightaway with a 10-15 meter lead. He finished with a UR record of 3:46.08.
When Tuori crossed the finish line as champion, his first thought was that he and Hale had won a title. Within seconds, he was joined by Benzoni who hugged him joyously. Tuori was warming up for his race when Benzoni was nipped in the women's 1,500. "Josefa's was one of the gutsiest and toughest races I have ever seen anyone run at any level," Tuori said. "Josefa's pure joy at my victory is probably what stands out the most in my mind. I cherish that memory as much as I do the victory itself."
The Essence of Multi-Tasking Two Rochester athletes have won national championships in the multi-events at NCAAs. Each did it as a sophomore: Renee Schmitt Somerville '87 won the 1985 heptathlon; Kylee Bartlett '19 won both the pentathlon and the heptathlon outdoors this spring.
Bartlett is only the third Division III woman to win both the pent and the hepts in the same academic year.
At the pentathlon, Bartlett struggled with the first two events – the hurdles and the high jump. "Jay knows how hard the multi is mentally," Bartlett said, speaking of Petsch. "He encouraged me to bring some anger to the shot put to put myself back in it." She finished second in the shot put and that pushed her into first place through three events. She clinched it with a PR in the 800.
"It meant the world to hear Coach Jay say he was proud of me," Bartlett wrote. "He told me many times throughout the day, 'That's the beauty of the multi. It's never over 'til it's over'."
Somerville hooked up in a good two-year battle with Shawn Lawson of Occidental in 1985 and 1986. Lawson won the 1984 crown. Somerville won the 1985 title by 17 points over Lawson. A year later, Lawson regained the trophy with a 140-point win over Somerville.
Track & field was not her only sport. Somerville played four years of volleyball. As a senior, she played for UR's first NCAA playoff team, leading the team in three stat categories.
Opposites Attract, But So Do Similar Styles
Bob Swartout '83, '92M and Alex Gaeta '83, '85M, '91PhD didn't play together in tennis in their first two years. In 1981-82, they spoke with Lyman and asked to be paired. "Peter was reluctant to pair us," Swartout said. "Both of us 'pounded the ball'. Peter wanted to put a finesse player with a power player."
As a doubles team, Gaeta and Swartout started 8-0. "We firmly embraced the philosophy that you win as a team and you lose as a team," Swartout said. "Doubles teams are the smallest teams in sports, but to be successful, it was important to cross from an individual sport to a team sport mentality."
At the 1983 individual championships, the UR duo posted four straight wins to set up a title meeting with Ray Miller and Cris Bacharach of UC Santa Cruz. All three sets in the title match went to tiebreakers. UR prevailed in the first set and UCSC won in the second set.
"This was one of the most stressful matches for me and one of the best examples of our 'win as a team, lose as a team' philosophy," Swartout said. In the third set tiebreaker, Santa Cruz held championship point. Swartout served and Gaeta earned a volley winner. That evened it. Swartout then served and Miller couldn't return it, putting UR up championship point. Bacharach's first serve to Gaeta was long. On the second serve, it hit the bottom of the net and the double fault gave UR the win.
Swartout's parents were able to see the match (played in Albany). As his mother was getting ready to shoot a photo of Lyman and his players, someone called out "Make sure the trophies are right side up".
"So in the photo, Alex and I are looking down to make sure the trophies are right side up and Peter was looking at the camera," Swartout said. "The smile on Pete's face captures the emotion of the day."
A Different Form of Problem-Solving
Stephen Goodridge '08 was supposed to take an Optics final during the week at the 2006 NCAA golf nationals. Johnson offered to proctor it. The professor said Goodridge should take it at 5 pm in Nebraska on the final day of NCAAs – the same time that his classmates were taking it on the River Campus.
Johnson couldn't promise that. If Goodridge was shooting poorly, he would tee off at 8 am and be available to sit for the test at 5 pm. If he was doing well (which Johnson hoped), he might tee off as late as 1 pm. Well, Johnson was told, do the best you can.
There was plenty of reason for optimism. In the first nine tournaments in 2005-06, Goodridge finished in the top five every time. He had one outright win and tied for first two other times.
On the first day of nationals, he shot a 77. Goodridge called it "a very up and down round. On the front nine, I had a couple birdies and triple bogey. The rest of the day was a struggle to make pars and 77 wasn't a bad score. It wasn't like I was way behind."
Goodridge found his game the next two days, shooting an even-par 71, then a three-under 68. As Day Three ended, he was in first place by one stroke. The next day was the last day of nationals and the Optics final was looming.
No, he didn't sleep well that night. "The adrenaline kind of carries you through," he said. "The 3rd round 68 really vaulted me up the leaderboard."
After breakfast, he took the first half of the Optics final in 90 minutes, then headed to the course to practice before teeing off. Concentration during the test was tough. "It was very difficult," he said. Once he got to the course, he stopped thinking about the test – the second half would come around 9:45 that night.
He birdied his first hole and from then on, "it was all about trying to hit golf shots".
His most memorable shot came on his 16th hole. He held a two-shot lead and was 50 feet from the hole. His opponent had just chipped in for birdie from beyond the green. "It could have been a two-shot or three-shot swing," Goodridge said, but it only ended up being a one-shot swing. "We went on to tie the last two holes and I won by two shots."
After the banquet and three major awards – medalist in Division III, Most Outstanding Player in Division III, and First Team All-American – it was back to Johnson's room and the last 90 minutes of the final. He wound up with a B+ for the class.
That stands out very well in this group of athletes who came up with the A+ effort in some of the toughest competitions of all.

I am a bit excited today because I have been using my new scope setup.
The Kowa Prominar 883 is great!! The 88mm makes low light shooting easier and the 25x LER eyepiece is a wonderful wide angle eyepiece, only thing is I also purchased the 30x wide angle eyepiece and I am having some issues with the viewing field being of to the left on the LCD, and Vingneting not dissapearing till optical zoom is zoomed at the halfway mark ,which in a wide angle eyepiece I assumed the vignetting was suppose to be gone at the tailend of the wide zoom zone instead of half way through the tele zoom, so I called Kowa and they are looking into the problem.
Here is a Indigo Bunting taken with the 25xLER with a shutter about 1/34 and it looks good, if conditions were right with better lighting this capture would have been primo.
Good Birding

Tyler Varga, Yale ready for Ivy League opener vs. Cornell
NEW HAVEN >> When Yale opens Ivy League play against Cornell Saturday at Yale Bowl, the Bulldogs' young defense will certainly have its hands full with Big Red quarterback Jeff Mathews.
Mathews is arguably the best quarterback in the FCS. His arm strength and pocket poise have him on the radar of NFL scouts.
But Cornell's defense will face a challenge of its own.
His name is Tyler Varga.
"If he's not the best back in the country, I don't know who is," Yale coach Tony Reno said.
Varga, Yale's 5-foot-11, 220-pound bruising junior tailback, ran all over Colgate in the Bulldogs' season-opening 39-22 win last week. Varga carried the ball 39 times for 236 yards and a touchdown. That performance stands as the third-highest single-game total in rushing yards in program history.
"Yeah, bring it on," Varga said. "I'd be happy to have that many carries every week. I'm a competitor. Give me those touches."
More Information
Cornell at Yale
When: Saturday, noon
Where: Yale Bowl
Records: Cornell 1-0; Yale 1-0
Internet: IvyLeagueDigitalNetwork.com
Radio: ESPNradio1300, WELI-960, WDRC-1360, WWCO-1240, WMMW-1470, WSNG-610
Live blog: portal31nhr.blogspot.com
What to look for: This is the Ivy League opener for both teams. Yale will have to find a way to pressure Cornell's All-American quarterback Jeff Mathews. He threw for 340 yards and four touchdowns in the Big Red's 45-6 win over Yale last season. Expect another big day on the ground for Tyler Varga. Yale's running back rushed 39 times for 236 yards and a touchdown in last week's 39-22 win over Colgate.
Prediction: Cornell 35, Yale 28.
— Chris Hunn
Varga came to Yale last season as a transfer from the University of Western Ontario in Canada, where he was the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national freshman of the year and led the country in scoring.
The transition was seamless.
Last season, Varga led the nation with 199.4 all-purpose yards per game and was the top rusher in the Ivy League at 119 yards per game (10th in the FCS). He did it all for Yale, even lining up at quarterback late in the season.
He appears to have only gotten better. Varga spent the summer in his hometown of Kitchener, Ontario, taking part in nine workouts per week which focused on his footwork and explosiveness. He's a more complete back this season; his pass-catching, route-running, blocking and vision have all improved. Those upgrades have been added to a package that already included speed, power and an ability to bounce off defenders and break tackles.
"It's really a quarterback's dream to give a guy like that the ball and let him run," quarterback Henry Furman said.
Furman should give the Bulldogs steady play at quarterback, something they lacked last year. Yale also has playmakers Deon Randall and Chris Smith back after both missed last season. And the offensive line is a strong, veteran group. Those factors should open things up even more for Varga and create opportunities for his punishing runs, which were on display against Colgate.
Varga will surely get his chances in Reno's up-tempo, run-heavy offense.
Last year, legendary Yale coach Carm Cozza compared him to Bulldog great Rich Diana and predicted Varga would break some records. He seems to be well on his way.
"I've been around Mike McLeod at Yale and Gino Gordon at Harvard, some real good backs," Reno said. "And he's every bit as good as those guys."

Friday Night.
Actually, I like working nights. More autonomy, and it feels vaguely romantic to me. It's ok, I have insight. I know this is weird, but I can't help it. There's something about hospitals at night...
The Department is busy when I come on. Not the best sign, but it's do-able. The waiting room is bristling as usual. The world's most aggressive goldfish bowl.
I have resolved to try and let the SHOs run resus tonight. It doesn't quite work out that way.
Resus is packed when I come on. In bay one is a patient waiting to go to the ward. Some have been waiting 9 hours for this privilege. I think she's got a broken femur, and assorted other fractures. In two is wheezy, short of breath. Also waiting on the ward. I forget who was in three.
This strikes me as terrible. It was less than a week go, and already I have forgotten so much. I think maybe it was a kiddie.
A few simple resus cases flow in. Then it starts to clog. At one stage we have 5 acute cases in a 3 bedded resus.
Then the first of the big three:
Young-ish. Attempted hanging. Head injury on being cut down. Agitated.
When he arrives, my worst fears are not confirmed. His airway is patent. No laryngeal fracture that I can appreciate, and although he looks congested in the upper half, I can feel no sub-q emphysema.
(This is air within the skin. It feels a little like Rice Krispies, or bubble wrap. It is indicative of air leaking into the tissue, usually from the lungs. It is high on Shroom's list of Ways I do Not Want My Skin To Feel.)
He is agitated tho'. And de-cerebrating - an abnormal extensor posturing of the limbs. This is, of course, high on Shroom's list of Postures You'd Rather You Weren't Exhibiting.
He has an ugly wound on the back of his head; evidence of where he was dropped. The final indignity, if you will. Cruelty, heaped upon cruelty.
While trying to restrain him safely, we get to play the ED sedation roundabout / roller coaster game. Up and down, round and round she goes... where she stops, nobody knows. Fortunately, I'm a veteran of this game, and we stop just where we need to. Help arrives in the form of a friendly gas-passer, and we send our guy away to a better place. This, at least affords me the opportunity to come over all ER by straddling the trolley to provide manual in-line stabilisation from the bottom end.
The long, dark walk to the scanner, while I make a few unwelcome phone calls, and break a few hearts in the relatives room. I do not feel a better person.
The scans all come back negative, which is only slightly reassuring. Anoxic brain injury can be like the wife-beater's kidney punch, ruining lives without leaving a mark. That will come later.
There briefly follows a surreal period where I and my anaesthetic colleague try to arrange admission for our guy. Ortho and Neurosurg all agree he will need their input; just not right now, so they aren't admitting him. I am disappointed to discover this doesn't really surprise me.
After a brief hair tearing, my Maiden in Shining Armour (she of the Expensive Scares) convinces the Magicians that they should take the patient.
I can't pretend to understand it, but at least we found him a nice warm vent for the night.

Trauma to the elbow caused by lifting heavy objects frequently involves rupture of the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. Less frequently a rupture of the brachialis muscle occurs. To our knowledge, only five cases involving traumatic rupture of the brachialis muscle were described in the past 20 years. We will briefly report these cases.
To demonstrate and evaluate muscle injuries, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the most sensitive and specific method of choice. We report an isolated brachialis muscle rupture caused by resisted flexion and pronation of the lower arm. Physical examination combined with ultrasound evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of ruptured brachialis muscle. Treatment was non-operative with full restoration of function.

Trauma to the elbow caused by lifting heavy objects frequently involves rupture of the tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. Less frequently a rupture of the brachialis muscle occurs. After an extensive online search, we found only five cases involving traumatic rupture of the brachialis muscle had been described in the past 20 years. To demonstrate and evaluate muscle injuries, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered the most sensitive and specific method of choice. We report an isolated brachialis muscle rupture caused by resisted flexion and pronation of the lower arm. Physical examination combined with ultrasound evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of ruptured brachialis muscle. Treatment was non-operative.
Case presentation
A 45-year-old male, right-handed, amateur bodybuilder and metalworker presented to our emergency department with pain in the left elbow after lifting his motorcycle. At the time of injury, he noticed a sudden snap in his left elbow and felt immediate pain and weakness. There were no previous injuries to the elbow, but the patient reported a visible dell on the medial surface of the proximal brachial portion of the arm. There were no paresthesias of the left upper extremity. The patient denied the use of medication, drugs or food supplements, and denied smoking or excessive alcohol use as well.
On physical examination, maximum pain was elicited on active flexion and pronation of the lower arm. Passive extension and resisted flexion of the elbow enhanced the pain on the medial side of the elbow. Movement of the palm and fingers did not increase pain. The biceps and triceps brachii tendons were intact, and the proximal portion of the ulna and the lateral side of the distal upper arm were painful to palpation. There were no neurological or vascular abnormalities of the arm.
The diagnosis of a brachialis muscle rupture was made. The affected arm was immobilized for 1 week using a plaster cast. After 1 week, the patient was instructed to gradually exert effort with his arm to maximum tolerable pain. Out-patient follow-up showed a gradual decrease in pain and an improvement in function and strength of the left arm. Near-normal function and strength of the elbow were achieved 10 weeks after the traumatic event.
Injury to the brachialis muscle is a rare phenomenon and is infrequently described in literature [1, 2]. This may promote misdiagnosis of this injury. Furthermore, there are conflicting thoughts on the anatomy and the precise function of the brachialis muscle. Gray's Anatomy describes a normal variant with two or more parts [3], while Leonello et al. suggest that all brachialis muscles consist of a superficial and a deep head [4]. The rarity of brachialis muscle injury and the conflicting thoughts on the normal morphology and function of the muscle make diagnosing and treating a brachialis muscle injury a real challenge. The first case report, by Van Den Berghe, presented a male who was clinically diagnosed with a tear of the biceps brachii muscle after lifting a heavy object. However, a MRI revealed a tear in the distal aspect of the brachialis muscle. He was treated conservatively in an outpatient setting and regained full function in 10 months [5].
Nishida et al. described two cases in which the patients were referred for evaluation of a possible muscular neoplasm. Both patients complained of pain and a loss of active extension in the elbow 1 week after the injury. MRI showed a brachialis muscle tear, mimicking an intramuscular tumor. Active mobilization was initiated on both patients with eventual full restoration of function after 3 months [6].
The fourth patient, reported by Winblad et al, was diagnosed with a brachialis muscle tear after a hyperextension injury of the elbow. MRI sequencing confirmed the diagnosis. The patient was treated conservatively with full restoration of function [7].
The final case report was published by Wasserstein and involves a hyperextension injury of the elbow, resulting in a brachialis muscle rupture, confirmed by MRI. Their patient was treated non-operatively and regained full function [8].
To summarize, expensive diagnostic modalities, such as MRI, are too often felt to be needed to definitely diagnose brachialis muscle injury. In our hospital, ultrasound is the first modality of choice if additional studies are needed for diagnosing tendon or muscle ruptures In the case of equivocal findings from the ultrasound imaging, a MRI sequencing is done for the definitive diagnosis. In our experience, we believe that most brachialis muscle ruptures can be treated conservatively with early active mobilization.
To diagnose peripheral muscle ruptures, ultrasound examination can be an adequate, easy to perform and cost-effective alternative for MRI sequencing in visualizing tendomuscular ruptures. Moreover, we believe that most cases of ruptured brachialis muscle can be treated conservatively.
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and any accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal.

I got a message the other day and did a double-take.
I got a message the other day and did a double-take.
West End Fair organizers were scrambling for more drivers to sign up for the demolition derby.
Really? No one has a junk car to drive in the derby?
I had one of those oxymoron moments. West End ... no junkers (I'm trying not to laugh.)
I've been to the West End, love the West End really. I have friends there, good friends. Nobody wants to trash their junk car in the derby?
Now I'm hearing Jeff Foxworthy's famous redneck joke in my head.
"You might be a redneck if you cut your grass and find a car."
I had to find out what's going on. So I called up fair directors Doug Hawk and Bob Coleman to get the story.
Sure enough, the entry list for the demolition derby is shorter than John McEnroe's temper. I talked to Hawk and Coleman and each time I was left shaking my head.
They're both a little uneasy these days. The entry list is only a third of what it should be. The demolition derby is going to happen, but it's in jeopardy of not being the crowd pleaser it usually is.
The demolition derby at the fair usually brings in about 100 cars per night for three nights. Out of 200 eight-cylinder cars they usually have for Monday and Wednesday (Aug. 25 and 27), only 60 have signed up so far.
On Tuesday night, Aug. 26, the four cylinder cars hit the course. Usually, about 80 cars smash themselves to pieces. Right now, Coleman says he's got 20 cars signed up.
They've also started a minivan category. So far two cars are entered. At this rate, there will be more fender benders in the parking lot.
We can't let this happen. The tradition of the demolition derby is sacred. What's next, a cutback on funnel cake?
Some things you just can't joke about.
Editor's note: Sign up for the demolition derby at Coleman Insurance, Route 209 in Gilbert or call (610) 681-6802 for more information.

This summer, Kaitlin Ehrhart shadowed parole officers as they visited with clients returning from prison to their communities in Grimes, Leon, Madison, Polk, Trinity, Walker and parts of Houston counties in Texas.
"It is one of the career options I was looking at, but I didn't know much about it," said Ehrhart. "I knew the clients had to go see their parole officers, but I didn't know much more. I found out they do a lot of paperwork, and they attend hearings. There is a lot more things involved."
During her internship with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Parole Division in Huntsville, Ehrhart witnessed the life of parole officers first-hand by tagging along on office and home visits, attending hearings, answering calls in the office, and indexing records. She discovered that although each officer had his or her own way of handling the job, they all brought respect for their clients to the position.
"Every parole officer is different," said Ehrhart. "Some are laid back, and some are more strict, but everyone had the same respect for the clients, addressed them "Yes, sir" or "No, sir." They usually don't have many problems with their clients."
Each caseload varies on the number of clients, which includes regular parolees, sex offenders, special needs offenders, those with electronic monitoring, super intensive parolees, those assigned to a therapeutic community and those with substance abuse issues. Each client had to follow his or her own parole conditions, which dictate how often they had to report, test for substance abuse, or attend required classes. During office visits, parole officers checked on compliance with those rules, such as whether clients had contact with police, whether they were using illegal substances, or how things were going at home.
Parole officers also visited clients at home to verify they were living at the approved residence. While at the residence, parole officers also kept a sharp eye on the surroundings to ensure there were no signs of drug or alcohol use and that the residence was in good general order. Parole officers also went to the home to install and activate electronic monitors, which are attached to a phone, and to explain to the client how to use it. Officers checked for violations daily, calling the clients if they failed to comply with curfews or conditions.
Ehrhart also attended parole violation hearings at the Walker County Jail. In a little room in the jail, separated from the client by a glass window, the hearing officer laid out the case, while the parole officer verified or discussed the charges.
After spending several weeks with parole officers, Ehrhart said she could see herself joining the team. "I really liked the people I worked with," Ehrhart said. "It's calm and quiet in the Huntsville office. I didn't know what to expect, but I think I would like to work here."
Ehrhart said that internships help "you put your foot in the door," especially if you are starting a criminal justice career with little or no experience. Sam Houston State University offered classes that provided the background for careers in the field, but internships provided the professional experience to help you land a job.
"I really was unsure about doing an internship," Ehrhart said. "If you don't have any experience in the field, shadowing people is a good way to see if you would really want to do a job if you are unsure of it."

Poriborton: The CHANge trial
Biographical details
Maternal and child health is the cornerstone of a life lived healthily. Healthy women grow healthy children, who then go on to have healthy children themselves. In resource poor settings, healthy families can influence the wider community. My research is focussed on interventions in the (mostly) perinatal period that can improve outcomes for women and children. The perinatal time is an ideal time to intervene as almost all women have some sort of engagement with health care providers. Using epidemiological methods my research is public health orientated, and focusses on population prevention, and interventions that target behaviour, measure and examine health service delivery and integrate and apply to policy.
Current projects include investigating the perinatal burden associated with house-hold air pollution exposure in resource-poor settings. Investigating modifiable risk factors for reducing stillbirth and neonatal mortality in both Australia and International settings (e.g Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan).
I also have interests in mentoring and improving gender equity in academic settings.

There's this little thing called your brain. And inside that brain, as you may have heard, are lots and lots of neurons. Our thoughts and memories are dependent upon those neurons connecting through intricate pathways. Once they connect through those pathways, over and over again, memories can be easily stored and retrieved. These pathways are like flattened grass in a field, dirt-covered trails in the woods, and those welcome tire tracks on the highway after a heavy snowfall. They are the easiest paths to take.
But what if that memory is incorrect, i.e., you've typed the word "on" but you meant the word "one"? Once it is set in stone, or goo, or however you want to describe that gray matter in your head, it's hard to see it another way. And that's the problem.
It makes we wonder, and gives me a fright
Why they show these ads, night after night
What happened here was my mind was thinking about the word "wonder" while I was typing "me." So the "waa" sound got imparted onto "me" and turned it into "we." I was ahead of the game. Brilliant. See?
We make mistakes because these things called computers with their keyboards and such still aren't up to par with the capabilities and speed of the human mind. Should we slow down our thoughts until our hands catch up? What good would that do? Some of the best ideas come when our minds race at breakneck speed. Why interrupt that flow to catch a few typos?
When it comes to editing, everyone is guilty of missing typos. It's back to that old pathway thing. When you read a sentence or a paragraph over and over again on the screen, seeing it the same way on a letter-sized document on the screen, for instance, it sorta digs the trench deeper. Our minds fill in the mistakes with the way we heard them in our head. We are so brilliant that we autocorrect. The best way to jump out of that trench and recreate a new pathway is to look at your writing in a different way.
Print it out on paper. Reformat the document with different margins so words shift around. View it on a different device, like a tablet or phone. Have it read back to you with a text-to-speech program. Or have a proof copy printed and read it like a finished book. Suddenly, typos jump off the page. They scream back at you. It makes your stomach ache and your heart plunge. Oh my god, I look so stupid. How did I not see that?!
You didn't see that...because you're brilliant.

Boyz II Men is also the first group to ever achieve 7 Platinum singles – each single sold more than 1 million records.The now legendary group began in 1988 in their hometown of Philadelphia where they met while attending the City's High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Founding members Nathan Morris and Marc Nelson began singing with Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCrary. But before their big break, Nelson left the group. In 1991, the quartet Boyz II Men recorded their first album Cooleyhighharmony for famed Motown Records. Their debut single Motownphilly (1991) topped the Pop and R&B charts and was their first Platinum single. On the same album, the group's a cappella ballad It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday (1991), also topped the charts and was awarded Gold, selling more than 500,000 records. Their hit songs, now classics, continued with End of the Road (1992), I'll Make Love To You (1994), On Bended Knee (1994), Water Runs Dry (1994), One Sweet Day (1995), 4 Seasons of Loneliness (1997), A Song for Mama (1997), Pass You By (2000), and The Color of Love (2002). In 2003, due to chronic back pain, Michael McCary left the group and Boyz II Men became a trio with original members Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman. Their albums that followed – Throwback (2004), The Remedy (2006), Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (2007), and Love (2009) were predominantly re-releases of their greatest hits and covers of other artists' songs. In 2011, celebrating 20 years as recording artists, Boyz II Men released their album aptly titled Twenty with the hit single More Than You'll Ever Know followed by their most recent album Collide (2014). Over the past 25 years, Boyz II Men have amassed 4 Grammy Awards, 9 American Music Awards, 9 Soul Train Awards, 3 Billboard Awards, a MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music (2011) and enshrined on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (2012). Given the renewed popularity of a cappella, Boyz II Men's "soulful multi-octave sound and incredible vocals" along with their unprecedented monumental success, Boyz II Men remains the most popular R&B group of all time.
