So much for my weekend by myself! My guys decided it was too hot to go canoeing with the Boy Scouts. They were going to Luray Virginia & the National Weather Service issued an extreme heat advisory for that area through the weekend.
Secretly, I'm relieved. I'm such a puss when it comes to my son. He's 15 but I still worry so much when I know he's going camping. I know these guys ("adults") that go on the campouts are great guys & a few of them – I think – actually look out for my son like he's their own kid. But you know, things happen. See? I'm a puss.
The Thursday before my son goes on a campout, I start feeling that fluttery (not in a good way) feeling in my stomach, a little bit like panic although not as melodramatic. I do some deep breathing & chant a basic mantra (in other words, pray like heck) until I calm myself down enough to get to sleep. Sheesh. I've been doing this motherhood thing for over 28 years & still I go through this stuff with myself.
So I went outside tonight at sunset & picked some strawberries from my garden. They are so heavenly. Now I must tell you they're not these little nuggets of pure honeyed sweetness. They're so yummy & super-juicy & still warm from the sun when they hit my tongue (I don't use any chemicals in my garden), but they're not like dizzyingly, stunningly sweet. But I gotta tell ya, there's nothing like picking a strawberry from your own garden & popping it into your mouth (okay, I do a quick check for spider mites or bunny bites first).
I heard that the best strawberries you can grow are alpine strawberries. I want to try them someday. You can't get these in the store because they don't ship well (actually, they pretty much don't ship them at all because they turn to mush about 4 minutes after being picked & put into a box).
So since I was going to have to be "on" as a wife & mother tonight instead of in calm, quiet, all-encompassingly-selfish bliss, I took a shower, dried my hair (which is like a wild animal & with a mind of its own & will be discussed in a later entry), watched an episode of Ballykissangel (which I think is sublime), then went out & picked strawberries. & it's still flippin' hot as Hades outside, even with the sun down.
More later this weekend!
When you get to be my age AND you have a teenager for the second time around, it's tough trying to figure out how to navigate as a parent. I want to guide my son but I don't want to get in his way. I want to firmly steer him in what I believe to be the right direction, but he's old enough to put one foot in front of the other towards his own goals, too.
My son received an award at school tonight for being in the top 20% of his school academically. He goes to a small, independent (of the diocese) Catholic school that has 260 students. He & 15 of his schoolmates got this academic award. It's my son's freshman (first) year at this school & it is not an easy school. I am so proud of him I could burst. (Heard that before from moms, have you?)
My son also got a letter in academics. The school he goes to is exceedingly sports-minded, but it recognizes outstanding students with the same type of letter that the good athletes get. So we're walking down the boxwood path from school tonight after the ceremony. As the cool breeze lifts my hair & I bask in the pleasure of being proud of my kid, my son turns to me with the letter in his hand & says, "This is SO dorky."
Now, I've been wondering for a few months now (okay, actually since last summer vacation ended) what the heck I was going to do with my son for the summer of 2008. I don't want him sitting in front of his laptop IMing & facebooking (okay, I love facebook; if you're on it, check me out) & generally sitting on his butt. He's sedentary (he gets that from his parents) & has never been athletic. So I got the idea that I would get him a personal trainer.
I joined the local gym in the fall of 2004. I've never played a sport (not in school or otherwise). My father said that girls should learn to cook & clean & that organized sports were for boys (no, this wasn't during medieval times, it was in the 1960s & 70s). I have 3 sisters & none of us ever played a sport in school. My brother (the only boy in the family), on the other hand, played every sport: football, basketball, baseball, you name it.
I "worked out" at Spa Lady in the late 1980s – early 1990s, but never really broke much of a sweat. So a little over 3 years ago I joined the local gym. Suddenly, my husband decided he wanted to join too (after never lifting anything other than a 12-ounce Coke in all the many years I'd known him). So he took my son – then 11 – & signed him up, too.
My son has been to the gym twice in the past year. His father, maybe twice that many times.
My son balks at the suggestion of any kind of physical activity. But I have a friend at the gym who recently started his own personal training business after getting his national certification. This guy has a great personality & I think my son would respond well to his training. My friend's name is Dion & he's also the leader of a gospel choir.
I took my son to see Dion & his choir sing about a year ago. My son loved the service & the music. So he's met Dion & likes him. We're meeting this Saturday to talk about my son starting a training program.
I'm nervous!
I was flipping around on the TV last night (ended up on The Andromeda Strain which was rather good – not great – but it was only the first episode; I love Eric McCormack & Benjamin Bratt so the eye candy factor is high which don't hurt) & saw a bit of Work Out on Bravo with nutty Jackie, the owner of the gym & the star of this reality series. She had some of her very-out-of-shape clients running flat out in a boot camp. Yikes! Is that what Dion's going to expect my son to do?!
More on this subject later in the week.

The ARIES team
We are an international network of scientists working to build and apply ARIES toward conservation and development challenges from local to global scales. We collaborate with a diverse group of scientists and practitioners from governments, NGOs, academics, and the private sector. Our core development team includes experts across diverse fields, ranging from computer science and ecology to economics and the social sciences to geography and policy.
Ferdinando Villa
Project leader, Ikerbasque Research Professor at BC3
I started out as a theoretical ecologist and had a long parallel career as a scientific software designer and engineer. After working in many fields of ecology, from theoretical island biogeography to spatially-explicit decision analysis, I discovered the joys and pains of interdisciplinary research during a 15-year stint in ecological economics at the universities of Maryland and Vermont. After moving back to my beloved Europe for a tenured position in 2010, I still find it a challenge – and a responsibility – to maintain scientific depth unaltered in face of a greatly increased breadth. My research sits at the multi-faceted interface of linguistics, computer science, social science, ecology and economics, concentrating on artificial intelligence approaches to assist environmental decision making and natural system assessment and valuation. I have collaborated with many international institutions and governments and authored or coauthored 150+ scientific publications. I still spend time coding, and have authored a number of major open source software packages. I have been the recipient major research grants from the US National Science Foundation, the European Union, The UK NERC, UNEP-WCMC and other institutions and NGOs, all aiming to contribute to the science of coupled natural/human systems and to build effective technologies for decision makers that take sound science and "democratize" it by putting it at the fingertips of decision makers worldwide.
Ken Bagstad
I'm a Research Economist with the U.S. Geological Survey, working with the USGS to account for nature's value in decision making by U.S. Federal government agencies, and serving as co-PI on a project to develop natural capital accounts for the United States. From 2015-2016 I was a Senior Environmental Specialist with the World Bank's Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) program. As part of this work I have helped lead teams developing natural capital accounts for Rwanda, Costa Rica, and Colombia, and have also advised the United Nations Statistics Division on revisions to the System of Environmental-Economic Accounts/Experimental Ecosystem Accounts. Since 2010, I have partnered with agencies including the Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and USDA Forest Service on ecosystem service assessments at sites across the U.S. Since 2007, I've served as a lead modeler for the Artificial Intelligence for Ecosystem Services (ARIES) program, and led the comparative analysis of ecosystem services using multiple other assessment tools. I hold a PhD in ecological economics from the University of Vermont.
Stefano Balbi
I am a Research Fellow at BC3. Since completing my Master's in Environmental Economics, I've been studying interactions between human and natural systems from a holistic perspective, in which theories and approaches from both social and environmental scientific practice are integrated to overcome disciplinary boundaries and provide more accurate representations of behaviors, spatial dependencies and temporal dynamics. This emphasis led me to pursue a Ph.D. in Analysis and Governance of Sustainable Development and to direct my interests towards cutting edge research in human geography, making use of computationally intensive, non-equilibrium methods to explore the complexity of social-ecological systems (SES).
Marta Pascual
I am a postdoctoral researcher with 6 years of professional experience in different lines of marine and coastal research applied to Marine Spatial Planning (MSP); ecosystem services mapping, modelling, and valuation; Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM); and Biological Valuation (BV). I have participated as a researcher in the following projects: MESMA (Monitoring and Evaluation of Spatially Managed Areas); BIZKAIZET (Catalogación de las áreas de especial interés para la conservación de los cetáceos en el golfo de Bizkaia); PERSEUS (Policy-oriented marine Environmental Research for the Southern European Seas); CoCoNET (Towards COast to COast NETworks of marine protected areas); GEF project: Integration of climatic variability and change into national strategies to implement the ICZM Protocol in the Mediterranean; DG-MARE Assistance Mechanism for the Atlantic Action Plan – Spanish Focal Point. My current research interests are focused on ecosystem services mapping, modelling and evaluation using the ARIES and k.LAB tool; as well as in spatial planning management, socio-economics, equity, governance, decision-support tools and the implementation of European directives (WFD, MSP and MSFD). My work has also succeeded in publications in international peer-reviewed journals.
Ainhoa Magrach
I am a community ecologist with a research emphasis on the effects of human activities on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the delivery of ecosystem services. Throughout my career I have combined the study of forest fragmentation, selective logging and agricultural expansion across temperate and tropical locations. I am particularly interested in the use of pollinators as model systems, due to their key role in ecosystem functioning by mediating plant reproduction of both wild and crop plant species.
Kii Hayashi
I am Professor at Nagoya University, Japan, and at the Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability ( IMaSS). My work mainly focuses on ecosystem services mapping and assessment and renewable energy related issues. I also manage the Environmental Symbiosis and Ecology System Cooperation Laboratory under the Civil and Environmental Engineering department, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University. I majored in energy and environmental assessment and policy including ecosystem services mapping.
Zuzana Harmackova
I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stockholm Resilience Centre, focusing on ecosystem services, scenarios of future development in social-ecological systems and resilience variables. Previously, I did my PhD at CzechGlobe – Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, working on multiple types of ecosystem-service assessments, including modelling ecosystem services trade-offs for local landscape planning in UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in the Czech Republic and mapping ecosystem services for the purposes of ecosystem accounting (SEEA-EEA) in Kyrgyzstan. I have been involved in the IPBES Regional Assessment for Europe and Central Asia and IPBES Assessment on Diverse Conceptualization of Values of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Enrico Girotto
I'm a software developer, born in Italy and living in Basque Country, with more than 20 years of experience. I started developing web pages at the beginning of the web 2.0 revolution. After that, I have been teaching computer science and developing in several programming languages and with different technologies, from digital newspaper to traffic applications, from mobile app to business intelligence. This journey has allowed me to join the ARIES team in March 2018 as front-end and back-end developer.

This is the best hand creme on the market. I like the size as it can fit in my bag and I carry 1 everywhere and keep one at home.

I love this hand cream, I particularly like this sized one as it's easy to put in my bag and take to work, some of the other ladies at work always hold their hands out for some when they see me put some on! It's not greasy, it's easily absorbed and smells so good, and leaves hands nice and soft!

Love the hand cream, beautiful fragrance.
Just lovely, even my husband loves it.
Rich moisturising absorbent creme I've had the Guava which I loved. Noni is an unusual fragrance fruity yet pungent. Like all fragrances it's very much a personal choice. However a friend has the Noni Reniu Oil and THAT product is lovely. I prefer Mango, Guava, White Ginger Lily and Coconut fragrances

Manager Showalter, 3B Machado latest Orioles to fall ill
NEW YORK (AP) The illness making its way through the Orioles' clubhouse has claimed manager Buck Showalter and third baseman Manny Machado.
Baltimore was down three regular starters for Wednesday night's game at the Yankees because of illness and injury. First baseman Chris Davis was not in the lineup for the third straight game because of flu-like symptoms that hospitalized him Sunday night. Machado also started feeling sick Tuesday night and was being evaluated by a doctor at the ballpark Wednesday.
Showalter wasn't at Yankee Stadium during batting practice, and bench coach John Russell filled in. Russell says he won't be surprised if Showalter shows up at some point, but the manager was in a ''rough'' state.
Catcher Matt Wieters was out again after being hit by a pitch on his right foot in the first inning Monday, though he could be available to pinch hit in an emergency.

Add a strong sculptural presence to your space with the Bryant Lamp. Utilitarian yet modern, Bryant features a striking elliptical-shaped base, crafted from lightweight resin with a black stone-like finish for a faux concrete feel. These hard edges are contrasted by a simple white cotton drum shade. Perfect in an industrial space, we also love the textured Bryant in a softer setting for an interesting touch of dissonance.

Spring arrived, or so I thought. Inspiration put robin egg blue on canvas, then added tulips. But it started snowing, so on came the splattered white then came the freezing rain, streaks of blue, Then I thought: spring ? Mother nature just threw egg in my face, hence my palette knife splattered yellow. Voilà: Springtime 2018.
Lounging quietly in a sombre ambiance, much like her mood, she needed an uplift. Adding a purple haze instantly gave her an air of mystery & purpose.

While this may sound simple, don't be fooled. This is an excellent question. It might be the best question.
It's an excellent question if you're considering giving animal free eating a try and don't know where to start;
it's an excellent question if you're having a person to dinner who you know doesn't eat animal products;
and it's an excellent question to be asked if the person asking you is either curious, skeptical or both.
The reason this is such a good question is because knowing what animal free food looks like and tastes like is the first step to understanding that life without eating animals is possible – and it's delicious. If you can't picture it in your mind – if you can't imagine what a plate of food would look like in front of you – then the idea of changing your diet is overwhelming. Of course it is.
But then you see pictures of delicious food and maybe a friend makes you their favourite recipe. You try out lot of animal free foods – macaroni and cheese, delicious stir fries and soups, shepherd's pie and sausage rolls, herbed cheese spread, pizza, burgers, curries, quiches, smoothies, ice cream – the list goes on and on and on. Healthy whole foods, and naughty junk foods are all out there in animal free options.
And then you realise that all you need to do is shop for different ingredients and learn a few basic recipes. You ask for different things at Perth Indian restaurants, look for different ready-made food at grocery stores. And then you join the growing group of people who are lobbying for more and more of these options to be available in more and more places.
So the more often this question comes up, the more opportunity there is to spread the word, share some recipes and tips and show people how delicious and satisfying animal free food can be. Soon it won't be a question anymore. It will be normal. It will just be food.

The Chamber supports a pro-growth and pro-jobs legislative agenda on all levels of government. We encourage the Board of Supervisors, the General Assembly, and our Federal representatives to work with businesses to retain, create, and attract jobs.
The annual legislative agenda written by the legislative affairs committee, is a resource to enable Chamber Members to anticipate future government actions, policies, and programs that may impact their business and our community.
Two signature events provide members to hear about issues facing their businesses. The General Assembly Report in May allows members to hear our local Delegates and State Senators give an update on the latest session in Richmond.
The annual Candidates Forum in October gives Chamber members an opportunity to meet candidates on the ballot for November and ask questions regarding important issues.
Regular meetings with members of the Board of Supervisors and with congressional staff gives the Chamber input on business and community issues.
Legislative Agenda 2019
Read the 2019 Legislative Agenda here.
The legislative agenda outlines the Chamber's positions on several important issues. Legislative committee chair, Mark Murray said, "A key issue in this session of the General Assembly is changes in the tax laws. Tax Conformity is a must! Our State Legislators must reform the Commonwealth's Tax Code to reflect the new Federal Tax Laws. "
The Chamber is concerned about the steady onslaught of bills that would change the pro-business climate in Virginia. Some bills introduced in this session of the General Assembly would repeal Virginia's Right to Work laws, increase the minimum wage, and establish laws affecting family and medical leave.
"We support decreased regulation on local businesses to allow for growth and prosperity to encourage a vibrant business community and job creation," Murray said.

Yesterday, I called the sheriff's office once again to get answers about my son, to no avail. The questions about what happened linger in my mind.
But then the biggest question of all constantly hovers in my mind like a vulture hovering on its' dead prey:
It lurks in the corners of my mind.
It steals away fleeting joy in only a single moment.
It disguises itself with anger that lingers inside of me, not really waiting to explode, but holding as a leak, draining out slowly.
With the question of WHY, comes all the questions surrounding my faith, my belief or lack thereof in a broken system, and trust – knowing who the enemy is and who is not.
One funny thing I recently found out is that in perceived moments of crisis (imminent threat of violence or self-harm), law enforcement responds ASAP.
However, in moments where only a concern is present, law enforcement does NOTHING.
If one person had listened, just one, Darren could still be here.
If one person had listened, just one, Darren could have seen a better way.
If one person had listened, just one, Darren could be in the room next to me rather than buried in the cold ground.
If one person had listened, just one person…….
I ask you: Be The Person Who LISTENS.

Greetings ladies and gentleman, this is a personal manifesto stating the main points of my own variety of Anarcho-Dandyism. Please state your opinions on the matter and I will then decide whether or not to send the document to major politicians and public figures inside and outside my country. Thank you kindly in advance.
1 Facilitate the re-introduction of Tweed back into the fabric of society. Tweed is both suave and practical. This empirical fact must be made known to the general public via large scale advertising campaigns. All government employees must wear Tweed. Special allowances to be made for emergency workers until fire and bulletproof Tweed is developed by the nation's Tweed clad boffins.
2 Encourage the popular appraisal of facial hair. This includes, but is not limited to the moustache, mutton chops, goatee and fu manchu. All government employees are to cultivate orderly facial hair, moustache and beard grooming classes are to be instituted across all public schools. Special allowances to be made for women. Those lacking in masculinity to be supplied with government funded testosterone treatment plans.
3 Foster the consumption and appreciation of Gin. Gin is good for the soul and the intellect, and can turn even the most morose of boors into social marigolds. Gin is to be encouraged within all government workplaces, this applies especially to diplomats, ambassadors and ministers. Special allowances to be made for operators of heavy machinery. Teetotallers, especially those of a religious persuasion, must be informed of the error of their ways via well-dressed gin ambassadors at half past seven in the morning every Saturday.
4 Suitable hats to be made compulsory. Where once the hat was a tool of oppression, demarcating class distinction, it is now to be a tool to express personal flair and ward off skin damage. Government employees are to wear black bowlers with a white ribbon. The wearing of top hats, flat caps, berets and tricornes to be encouraged via large scale advertising campaigns.
5 Every Monday to be a public holiday. Monday is a beastly day. Let us nullify its effects.
6 All government places of employment, including but not limited to schools and parliament to start and finish later. A civilised human being does not wake before noon and is not seen before dusk. Nothing good happens before six o'clock pm. Special allowances to be made for emergency workers and the elderly.
7 The government must stop taking everything so seriously, including of course this manifesto. Life is a joke, and one only lives once. Therefore one must endeavour to live one's life in a good spirits and humour. We are all comrades, united in the struggle against life's daily and sometimes extra-ordinary hardships. When an individual is in strife, it's rather a bother to us all, and the decent thing to do is to help that individual to the best of one's own abilities. Let there be no more insulation. Let there be no more existential despair. Crush the crass dictatorship and let us languish together in a gin soaked, tweed clad utopia.

Through the online world almost everything is achievable today. And the vehicle shipping industry makes no exception. A simple search shows you all the businesses in the Lindon, UT region. Costs are too on the net, along with other characteristics. Don't get fooled by discounted prices, they sometimes suggest awful services.
Your research part might take a bit of time. You'll want to take into account the cost as well as the services as a whole. Which means you need to know exactly what you would like and just how much you're prepared to pay for it. Help is one click away as the net provides all the product reviews you may need. Reading them might give you a good idea of what that company is all about, background and mishaps.
After all the really hard work has been accomplished, it's time for the reservation. When you receive your confirmation email, the online part is over. Take into account that you then need to prepare your vehicle for transport. Get all of your stuff out of the automobile. These may get stolen or you might need them throughout the car transportation. Additionally, virtually every vehicle shipping company in Lindon, UT would most likely suggest you to have less than a 1 / 4 tank of fuel. This way the load gets lighter, the company saves cash on gas and you also pay significantly less for their services. In an effort to see the pre existent damage on the vehicle, you should clean it ahead of transportation.
When the Lindon, UT car transport company sends the carrier for the pick up, make sure the driver examines your car for existing damage. All the notes need to go on a vehicle condition report which should be a double signed copy. Don't throw it away until the transportation is complete. As soon as the Lindon, UT auto transport company arrives with your vehicle, take a good look at it and check for damages. If you find damages that weren't there, ask the carrier for a signed condition report.
It's really simple in Lindon, UT to transport automobiles with there being many companies to choose from. You only have to worry about setting up the day you want the shipment to depart as well as arrive. Do not settle for less costly offers when they are not providing the same top quality services as others. Additionally, don't forget only to pay after the vehicle has arrived and is in your possession.

BOSTON – The Oakland Athletics didn't hide their feelings over being able to rebound so nicely after such a bad loss.
Scott Sizemore and Josh Willingham each hit two-run homers during a six-run fourth inning that carried the Oakland Athletics to a 15-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday, one day after they lost 22-9 at Yankee Stadium and allowed a major league-record three grand slams.
"It's a huge lift," winning pitcher Gio Gonzalez said. "It's stopping the bleeding right away and not letting it spiral out of control."
Like Thursday in New York, the Athletics opened a big lead early. The difference was they kept scoring and held down the hot hitting Red Sox.
"I think it's good," said second baseman Jemile Weeks, who had three hits and scored three runs, of the team's rebound. "I think we came out and set a tone. We started out great in New York and they pounded us in that game."
Tim Wakefield was again denied in a bid for his 200th career victory.
Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz hit consecutive homers for Boston, which opened a nine-game homestand after going 6-2 on a recent trip through Texas and Kansas City.
Wakefield (6-6), trying for the sixth time to become the 108th pitcher to reach 200 wins, gave up eight runs — four earned — on eight hits, walking two and striking out three. He's 0-3 with a 4.97 ERA during the six games.
"Not a real good night (for Wakefield). Kind of an inconsistent knuckleball tonight — some he threw so well and had sharp break and then some were up," Boston Manager Terry Francona said. "Then it looked like we get the third out and the ball gets by (Jarrod Saltalamacchia) because it is moving and they tack on four more, so just kind of a rough night all the way around."
Cliff Pennington also had three hits, and Willingham drove in four runs for the Athletics, who won for the seventh time in nine road games after losing 30 of their previous 37 away from home.
Gonzalez (11-11) gave up four runs and seven hits, striking out five and walking three in 52/3 innings for his second straight win after losing five in a row. He picked up just his third road win in 10 decisions.
Leading 2-1 in the fourth, the Athletics scored six runs — four coming after Saltalamacchia's passed ball on Weeks' strikeout with two outs.
"I think that's my biggest disappointment, knowing that we had a doubleheader (today) and I was only able to go four innings," Wakefield said.
Sizemore started the scoring with a home run into the last row of Green Monster seats in left, making it 4-1. After Weeks fanned but reached first, Coco Crisp walked before Hideki Matsui doubled both home with a drive off the center-field wall. Willingham then homered into the Monster seats, his 23rd, making it 8-1.
Boston outfielder Darnell McDonald pitched the ninth, allowing Willingham's two-run double after walking the first two batters.
For a while it looked as though it could be similar to Thursday afternoon in New York when Oakland opened a 7-1 lead before its pitching staff was pounded.
Boston answered with a pair of runs in the bottom of the fourth on consecutive homers by Pedroia and Ortiz.
Pedroia's was his 17th, tying his career high set in 2008 when he won the AL MVP award. Jacoby Ellsbury tripled and scored in the fifth.
The Red Sox had runners on first and second with one out in the sixth, but Gonzalez got McDonald to pop to second. Brian Fuentes relieved and Ellsbury fouled weakly to third. Boston stranded two more in the seventh. Oakland ended any likelihood of a comeback by scoring four in the eighth against Matt Albers, opening a 13-4 lead.
NOTES: Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford didn't play, getting a night off to rest before playing both ends of today's doubleheader. "He was cramping up a little bit (Thursday)," said Francona.

Men's lacrosse comes up short against Cornell Big Red
Coming off a win over Ocean State rival Providence College, the men's lacrosse team looked to carry its momentum into a crucial Ivy League matchup against No. 10 Cornell Saturday.
Coming off a win over Ocean State rival Providence College, the men's lacrosse team looked to carry its momentum into a crucial Ivy League matchup against No. 10 Cornell Saturday.
The men's lacrosse team was defeated in a battle for first place in the Ivy League Saturday in a 16 -9 loss against Penn at Stevenson-Pincince Field.
After opening its season with a 20-7 win at home against Quinnipiac University, the men's lacrosse team (1-1) was back in action at Stevenson-Pincince Field Saturday against Stony Brook University (1-1). Entering this weekend's matchup, Bruno hoped to continue the same offensive successes against the Seawolves.
The men's lacrosse team faced off against No. 6 Yale Saturday and looked to find its third straight Ivy League win following victories over Princeton and Penn.
The men's lacrosse team earned a critical upset victory on the road last weekend against the fourth-ranked team in the nation, Villanova University.
Following a close overtime loss to Quinnipiac University and a decisive victory over Stony Brook University, the men's lacrosse team hoped for a strong showing in its home opener against No. 15 Rutgers University (4-1) Saturday.
Three seniors decided to forego the ceremonial commencement march through the Van Wickle Gates Sunday, instead opting to hear their names called elsewhere.
As the field of the 2017 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament takes shape, the Brown men's lacrosse team will begin its offseason.
For Bailey Tills '16 and Jack Kelly '16, the five months from April to August are comprised of working two jobs, on the clock seven days a week.
The No. 9/10 men's lacrosse team suffered a disappointing 25-17 defeat against unranked Stony Brook University Saturday.

Apple Asiago Dog Treats = A Puppy Bowl Must Have!
Super Bowl… pff. Over it! Let's talk about the The Puppy Bowl! Next to the National Dog Show on Thanksgiving, the Puppy Bowl is probably the cutest thing you can ever watch on TV. So, while you're whipping up your pizza, taquitos, and sliders for Super Bowl Sunday, don't forget to also pop in some Apple Asiago Puppy Treats for your hungry hounds.
– 2 cups barley flour
– 1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
– 1/3 cup shredded gruyere cheese
– 1/4 cup shredded asiago cheese
– 1/3 cup sugar-free applesauce
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– football cookie cutter
– wax paper
– rolling pin
Now let's get barking… I mean baking!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients. The dough is pretty dry so add enough water for it form into dough. We added about 1/8 cup.
Knead dough with hands and then place on a sheet of wax paper. Cover the dough with a second sheet of paper and start rolling! Roll the dough out until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Time to cut out those puppy footballs. We used three different sized football cookie cutters because here at Brit + Co. we have all different sized dogs. Space biscuits about a 1/2 inch apart on prepared baking sheet, (they don't expand) and bake for 30 minutes.
Don't these look adorable!?
Wait at least 30 minutes before passing these off to your pooch.
Our pups couldn't keep their paws off of these footballs!
Even Anj got in on the action! :) Yes, these treats are human friendly too! Little heads up: they don't pack much punch in the flavor department.
*Note to our dog lovers: Be aware that these puppy treats do include cheese and some dogs can not tolerate cheese.
Would you serve these puppy treats to your favorite four legged friend? What about sharing a treat with your pup during half time? Let us know in the comments below!

All societies, large and small, are governed by values. Some better or worse than others. One of the most serious threats to society can be from a 'crisis of vlaues – as the rules disappear, civility breaks down. There is a growing crisis in values that can be summed up as the three 'E's: Economic, environmental and energy crises.
However, it is one thing to suffer from a serious crisis, but it is much worse if nothing is done about it. In Coín a growing group of individuals who have concerns about the three 'E's have decided to take action and get down to work to make the transition to a more sustainable way of living. Their approach is to think globally but act locally to create a system that is economically viable and environmentally sensitive through what is known as the transition initiative.
Over the past six months, with regular meetings every Friday, the core group have succeeded in launching an exchange network called the RAM (Red de Apoyo Mutuo) for the trading of goods and services in the local community and developing a local currency that has been called a 'coino'. An organic community allotment has been started and workshops are being held on ecobuilding and sustainable energy.
The group is a diverse mix of Spanish and foreign, young and old, with people from all walks of life and the group aims to develop this diversity – "Using the creative spirit that has brought us to where we are now, we all have to find inspiring solutions to the situation we are in." Explained Jose Martin Sanchez, one of the founders of the group. They recognise that the process is likely to be slow, but believe that the basic element for growth, PEOPLE, is actually the main resource they need to gradually achieve a better world. Everyone is invited to get involved.
"There are no problems, only opportunities."

Could The Internet Be Shrinking Your Brain?
Remember how your mother used to tell you that sitting too close to the TV could ruin your vision? She was full of crap. But new research indicates that another one of Mother Dearest's little foibles may turn out to be true after after: too much Internet could rot your brain. Well, kinda. Using a very limited testing group, Chinese researchers have discovered possible evidence that excessive Internet use can actually change physical characteristics inside your head.
The study identified 18 college-aged students who fit the bill as an Internet addict by playing online games for 10+ hours a day and answering "Yes" to questions like "Have you taken the risk of losing a significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of the Internet?" The researchers then scanned the noggins of the Web-heads and a control group of people who've never sold their grandmother's jewelry for Internet.
"The researchers discovered several small regions in online addicts' brains shrunk, in some cases as much as a 10 to 20 percent," Scientific American reports. Interestingly, the shrinkage was more pronounced in people who had been power-using the Web for longer. The tests also showed increased white matter in areas of the brain related to memory and decreased white matter in sections tied to "cognitive and executive functions."
So what's that mean? That's a little less clear. Scientific American theorizes that the changes in white matter could result in "Internet addicts" having poor decision-making abilities and difficulty storing and retrieving memories.
If you're on the Web around the clock, don't go cold turkey quite yet. There's no need to worry – too much – until studies with larger groups show the same results. In the meantime, a little less Minecraft and a little more sunshine may be a good thing.

There is nothing Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey likes more in a player than toughness, so maybe it shouldn't have come as a surprise that it was their 2015 second round draft pick Norman Powell who kept getting chances to show what he could do during the season. The Raptors saw a potential Tony Allen level lockdown defender in Powell if they could teach him how to defend in the NBA.
"When (Powell) came down (to the D-League) and even in the summer when he was guarding DeMar (DeRozan) a lot during our workouts, he was playing college defense," Raptors 905 head coach Jesse Mermuys said. "He was a good defender, but you can't use your hands up here, especially as a rookie that's automatic, (the refs) are going to hit you (with a foul). It's an easy call for them.
"He was doing that and even down here he was struggling with foul trouble. He had to guard some really big-time players. I'm pretty sure he had to guard (Nets Sean) Kilpatrick, (Cavaliers Jordan) McRae, guys that are now in the NBA. He was guarding NBA guys down here and he was fouling.
"I was teaching him. You got to play NBA defense. You have to figure out a way to be Tony Allen. Be aggressive, be up in them, harass them, be physical without fouling and that's not easy to do in the NBA.
"He got better at it as the season went on and now you see him doing it up there (in the NBA). (The Raptors) are putting him on the best player and that's big time man. That's really hard to do."
The college scouting report on Powell was mixed, but pointed out his potential as a defender at the next level. Just prior to the draft, Matt Kamalsky described Powell on Draft Express as,
Powell's grit can't be questioned.
He's one of the more hard-nose competitors you'll find in the college game.
Plays with good energy, doesn't get out of position too often, and isn't prone to giving up anything easy one-on-one. His athleticism and length allows him to make impressive plays as a rebounder and scrapping for turnovers.
There's no question he has all the tools you look for in a multi-positional shut-down defender.
With those kinds of accolades, it's no wonder the Raptors grabbed Powell with their second pick.
It isn't easy transitioning to the next level, however. Often times rookies are described as only having one gear, playing at 100 miles per hour on every play and it isn't until they slow down that the game slows down for them and they start to realize their full potential. That's usually talked about on offense, but the same principles apply on defense as Powell was finding out.
"(Mermuys) was trying to have me focus on not just defending – like – everywhere, trying to be everywhere at once, just stay in your position," Powell told Pro Bball Report. "Learn how to fight over different screens, work different schemes and skills and tactics to guard against different guys up here.
"(He) let me focus on that and being a lockdown defender. Focusing on getting over screens, working off the ball, being pulled in and things like that.
"I think early on (I used my hands). I am just used to defending one way, especially you're in college and you get that rep of being a defender and the refs allow you to guard and be physical and you don't get those calls, but you come back up here (at) the next level and you're starting at the bottom, they're going to call those ticky-tack touch fouls for the older veteran players. So, it's just adjusting, try to focus on moving your feet and beating guys to spots."
Developing a defensive presence isn't easy for a rookie and it isn't going to get a player on SportsCenter either. Even though Powell has started 15 games for the second place Raptors since the beginning of March and been an effective addition to Casey's rotation, he barely gets noticed outside of Toronto, but his head coach surely appreciates what Powell has brought to the table. Every team wants and needs physical defenders even if they don't see any national media coverage.
"Just his toughness," Casey said. "I like his toughness, his confidence as a young guy. He's a four-year (college player). In coaching we still look at him as a young guy because it's his first year in the NBA. He's a confident young man. The moment doesn't bother him, but his overall physical toughness, his presence gives us a person at his position to guard, to put in front of a person like Westbrook, chase Kyle Korver. He's really been a plus for us from that standpoint.
"It is impressive for a young player to come into the league.
"(His scoring,) that's gravy, it's good gravy, but it's gravy. We wanted him for his toughness. He is in there because of his defense, his toughness, athleticism."
"That's my game," Powell said. "Be physical, be aggressive, that physical style of basketball was a part of me from an early age. Watching Jerry Stackhouse, Kobe Bryant, all those guys I looked up to, that's how they played. They aren't backing down from nobody and I put that in my game. I have something to prove and I play with a chip on my shoulder."
Somewhat surprisingly, Powell is already starting to get some respect from NBA officials. Sometimes he'll get called for his aggressive play, but other times officials are looking at those whining veterans and telling them to just play through it.
"Some games they call it, some games they don't," Powell said. "The game in San Antonio I picked up two early fouls trying to be overly aggressive, but sometimes they don't call it and it surprised me a little bit because the vets are complaining and the refs are just looking at them like play through it.
"It is just trying to adjust to the way the refs are calling the game and just trying to be smart."
Those are interesting thoughts from a player in his first NBA season. Maybe 905 head coach Mermuys is having an impact on these young guys?

Skimming is a $2 billion industry – one you don't want to be a part of. Internationally, the European ATM Security Team (EAST) reported that skimming losses rose 18% from the first half of 2014 to the first half of 2015. EAST documented more than 8,400 fraud attacks related to ATMs January-June of 2015 in Europe, and found that more than 97% of the total reported losses in that time period were related to skimming.
Those are some big numbers – but here's one more to consider: The average skimming incident costs a bank $50,000 per ATM, as well as incalculable losses in consumer trust. Low-tech fraud may be rising in popularity, but high-tech fraud is where thieves see the biggest ROI. As your organization builds strategies to grow revenue, drive efficiencies and delight consumers, there's a crucial question you must ask yourself: Am I prepared to lose $50,000 today?
That's a pretty scary question. But I think it's an important one to face head on. Our security teams witness the reality of financial fraud every day, at a global scale, and we don't want any of our customers to encounter a threat that could have been avoided. And this is the thing about skimming: It can be avoided.
EMV Alone Won't Work
In North America, financial institutions are migrating consumers to EMV cards – but that change will take years to fully implement, and for the foreseeable future debit cards will still carry the magnetic stripe. In Europe, which implemented EMV in the '90s, EAST reports skimming losses were up 11% in H1 2015. As long as consumers are inserting cards with magnetic stripes into ATMs, skimmers have an opportunity to gather their information.
Add to that the emerging technology at work. Today's skimmers are savvier than ever. Skimming components have gotten smaller and more difficult to spot. In fact, back in 2012 paper-thin skimmers began to show up on terminals, and were being readily bought and sold on the internet. In 2014, a new type of skimming device was discovered: it could be inserted into the motorized card reader or DIP reader, bypassing existing low- and mid-tier anti-skimming technology.
FIs Must Introduce a Layered Approach to Security
We don't think financial institutions should have to fear skimming. When we reimagined the card reader module for our latest terminals, we made security our top priority.
First, our engineers addressed a skimmer's primary function: reading the stripe. Current skimming technology relies on the ability to read a card's entire magnetic stripe in a short-edge orientation, as the card slides in and out of the reader. By rotating the card reader itself, to long-edge insertion, we were able to utilize an encrypted moving read head inside the reader. That change makes it impossible for current skimmers to capture the card's full data. ActivEdge is the world's first card reader to introduce this moving head.
And because a layered approach to security is the best approach, we incorporated additional features such as automatic gate-locking and device-pairing. Whether FIs implement new Diebold terminals or upgrade their current card readers, an ActivEdge module paired with the terminal prevents the installation of fraudulent devices with individually calibrated software.
When we talk with customers about this technology, we often get asked, 'Is it really effective?" I understand why people might ask this question. On the surface, rotating the reader seems so simple. Yet the technology behind this module is incredibly innovative – and thwarts all known skimming fraud. And during focus groups conducted globally, we found consumers readily accepted the behavior change. In fact, nearly 80% responded positively to long-edge insertion without any knowledge of its security benefits. Once informed, more than 90% rated it as their most desired method of inserting their card.
Our team of experts works behind the scenes to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters and offer our customers solutions that work. Want to find out more about how an ActivEdge card reader could benefit your security strategy? Let's start a conversation.
