Spring Style Staples For Every Figure
Skin-baring season is nearly upon us, making it an ideal time to get a handle on how to dress for your figure. Accordingly, we went ahead and created a spring shopping list for every shape, plus a sprinkling of helpful tips along the way. Click through now to see which pieces will make your body look its best.

Yes, if your waist, hip, and shoulders are all about the same width.
Goal: Create curves.
Accomplish by: Highlighting the thinnest part of the waist, and making the hips and bust appear larger.
If you look closely, you'll notice a rather discreet side cutout on this flirty dress. What may seem like merely a design choice actually works to make your look curvier. The inward-pointing lines whittle your waist, making it look smaller in proportion to your bust and hips. Voila, curves!
The Reformation Amelia Dress ($198)
Shirts with ruffles around the bust make your top half look larger, which consequently makes your waist look smaller and shaplier in comparison.
Cynthia Rowley Asymmetrical Ruffle Top ($195)
Look for skirts with volume-boosting details like pleats, ruffles, or pockets, which will create the illusion of hips.
Anna Sui Letters Printed Georgette Mini Skirt ($345)
Outerwear with a belt is ideal for cinching in your waist, creating a curvier figure.
Laveer Belted Leather Moto Vest ($595)

Yes, if the widest part of your body is below your waist, around your hips.
Goal: Elongate and balance your figure, so you look less bottom-heavy.
Accomplish by: Accentuating your top half.
This dress packs a triple punch—bare shoulders draw attention upwards, the tie details around the arms have the same effect, and the skirt draws in at the smallest part of your waist and then generously flares out to conceal wider hips.
For Love & Lemons Kiss Me Dress ($194)
Embellished or embroidered tops are great for centering the focus on your slim top half. Heighten the effect by keeping your skirt or pants simple and unadorned.
Altuzarra Vervet Pinstripe Blouse With Embellishment ($496)
Flare jeans work for your figure in two ways: they draw eyes away from the hips, and the volume at the hem balances out your hips, making them seem perfectly proportioned.
MiH Marrakesh High Rise Flare Jeans ($218)
Jackets are a pear-shaped girl's best friend. Interesting details or prints direct focus to the top half of your body and give a bit of structure to the shoulder area, making your bottom-half appear smaller in comparison.
Topshop Crop Folk Tile Jacket ($116)
Photo:Splash News
Yes, if you're curvy, with a well-defined waist and fuller chest and hips.
Goal: Highlight the waist and lengthen the legs.
Accomplish by: Dress to follow the shape of your body rather than hide it.
This dress is all about the seaming: notice how the lines start at one point at the shoulders, curve in toward the waist, and back out again at the flared skirt? We're no geometry experts, but we're fairly certain that's the shape of an hourglass.
Halston Heritage V Neck Jacquard Dress ($445)
How do we know this top will work wonders for your figure? The V-neck is ultra-flattering to your bust, and the wrap detail highlights the curve between your waist and hips.
Lanston Surplice Long Sleeve Top ($93) via Shopbop
This romper is going to work for you on so many levels. The molded cups will provide ample support, which is key for playing up the top of the hourglass, the embroidered center panel creates the illusion of a smaller waist, and the slightly voluminous shorts will drape beautifully over fuller hips.
Zimmermann Sundance Embroidered Silk-Chiffon Playsuit ($365)
An A-line skirt emphasizes your tiny waist and flares out just enough to skim your hips, without making them look larger. The diagonal leather line on this iteration underscores the flattering shape from the small center of the hourglass to the wider bottom of the hourglass.
Proenza Schouler Colour Block Wrap Skirt ($682)

Yes, if you have a slim lower body, but carry weight around your middle.
Goal: Minimize your mid-section.
Accomplish by: Highlight the shoulders and legs, while concealing the middle.
A flowy top is the best way to deemphasize your mid-section. This one is particularly flattering for your figure, as the mini pom-poms at the shoulder draw the eye up.
For Love & Lemons Lovely Tank ($92)
Similar to a flowy top, a swing dress flares out to conceal your stomach. Tip: most women with apple figures have shapely legs, so get your dress hemmed to show them off!
ASOS Airtex Back Swing Dress ($75)
Now that you have closet stocked with swingy tops and dresses, you'll need an equally figure-flattering jacket. This cropped version is ideal, as it will add structure to your top, and the waistband-free bottom will flow over your mid-section.
Zara Cropped Jacket With Zips ($159)
A pencil skirt will add structure to your bottom half and highlight your thin legs. This light-wash denim iteration feels perfect for spring.
Current/Elliott The Stiletto Distressed Stretch-Denim Pencil Skirt ($220)

Robot Battle at the End of the Semester
POSTED ON: May 23, 2012
Each year the Spring mechatronics class (ME 153) gives their final presentation in the form of a sumo-robot competition that pits each team's robot (a semester-long project) against each-other in a battle-royale. The competition, held May 1st this year, was the best attended and the most lively to date. Eight teams fought for the glory of victory and their final grade.
A smaller demonstration and re-staging of this year's battle was held on the evening of the opening of the annual End of Year show.
Robot sumo has quickly become a popular competition for robot enthusiasts around the world. Each sumobot must attempt to push its opponent out of the ring while remaining inside the ring itself. Matches are typically very short and action-packed. There are no weapons involved as the robots must rely on brute strength and cunning to stay in the ring while shoving opponents out. This particular competition is completely autonomous, meaning there is no remote control. The robots must think for themselves, identify the "edge of the ring" by color alone and avoid it—all while attempting to locate and eliminate opponents.
Just some of the topics covered in the mechatronics class include combinational digital logic, computer architecture, embedded controller programing, systems engineering and project management—all crucial to students setting out to design, build and program an autonomous sumo battle bot. Mechatronics is a junior year mechanical engineering elective, and is structured to introduce the students to the concepts of eponymous concept. Professor Brian Cusack has been teaching the class for the last nine years, and has used robot-sumo as a term project for the last seven. Teams of three are required to design, from scratch, their own sumo robot and take that design from sketch to a competition-ready bot in fourteen weeks.
"I could have the students design lab experiments but building fighting robots adds a level of excitement and enthusiasm to the project that helps reinforce the topics covered in class," says Professor Cusack. "Students think of this as the class in which they get to build a robot—but they are also learning about sensors, control systems, drivers, programming, prototyping and so much more. In essence they have built mobile data acquisition microcomputers that process data and give a control response. One of the biggest lessons is the project management required to do all this in a very short period of time. Week one is brainstorming; by week two I expect sketches of a "final concept". By week three students present CAD drawings of their design and I expect parts received, machined and assembled a few weeks after that... The semester moves fast, and the only path to success is careful planning, execution, and evaluation of progress."
This year "NinjaCat" (by Spyros Korsanos, David Rophael, and Michael Sanfelice) went undefeated to win a flawless victory, but every team arrived at the competition with a functional competition-ready robot –a big success by his standards, says Professor Cusack. "One of the coolest stories happened behind the scenes minutes before competition started," he adds. "One team crossed a wire and literally blew up their microcontroller. I handed them the key to my office and said 'get a new microcontroller, program it, rewire it, and be back in 25 minutes.' They were back in 20—with a functioning robot. I wager those 20 minutes were more stressful than any other final they had this year, but they passed this one with flying colors."

Jimmy Fund Chorus, Lonborg share pregame spotlight
BOSTON -- Boston continued to use its postseason as a platform to help spotlight and strengthen the community with the Jimmy Fund Chorus singing the national anthem on Saturday afternoon prior to Game 2 of the American League Division Series.
The Red Sox have enjoyed a partnership with the Jimmy Fund for 60 years, and as part of the celebration of that anniversary this season, the organization helped establish a singing group to perform at Fenway Park and in the community. The singers comprised Dana-Farber Cancer Institute doctors, nurses, families, friends, and patients, including those benefitting from care at the Zakim Center for integrative therapies.
Former Red Sox pitcher Jim Lonborg tossed out the ceremonial first pitch, representing the 1967 "Impossible Dream" team. Lonborg won the Cy Young Award that year as Boston turned in its first winning season since '58 and advanced to the World Series, donating a share of its postseason proceeds to the Jimmy Fund.
The Jimmy Fund solely supports Boston's Dana-Farber Institute, raising funds for adult and pediatric cancer care and research to improve the chances of survival for cancer patients around the world.
The Boston Fire Department served as honor guard, bringing out the flags, with the area's police and other rescue workers honored in a pregame ceremony as a tribute to April's Boston Marathon bombing victims, runners and volunteers.

By the time you've reached mid-career (the generally early 40s), a lot of change has happened in your world. There have been marriages, perhaps divorces, kids, several different jobs, some accrual of assets, both for long-term and short-term goals, and usually you've picked up a bit of debt—home loans, car loans, etc.
In early career, the primary issues for financial development are usually paying down debt of some kind and determining savings rate. In many cases, these carry into mid-career in some way but are now a part of a larger framework. Increasingly the larger issue by this point is organization. Having an organized perspective on your financial goals and a systemic way to organize your assets and debts is critical to be able to increase the likelihood of reaching your goals.
The first step here is to organize your goals. If you are married or have a long-term significant other, this is particularly critical. We generally encourage clients to focus on 3-4 key financial goals. These goals should have a time horizon and clear plan for achievement. And because they are the key goals for you and your family there should be fairly universal agreement on the list and the prioritization.
Think if it like arranging a dinner party for friends. You first need to decide who is coming, what to serve, and how much it will cost. Then you can start picking out key "recipes" (financial strategies) to bring this party into being. Financial independence, the day work becomes an option, is usually the biggest party any of our clients will ever throw. It lasts the longest, is the most expensive, has the most people involved and you can't run out of shrimp cocktail at the end.
Your financial organization must move beyond big dreams and contain a personal balance sheet. This single source of accounting of all of your assets and liabilities allows you to clearly see where you currently stand and allow you to better forecast what your financial situation will look like in future years. Do not get discouraged if you are not as far along financially as you thought you were. Many people focus more on their assets and less on their debt which gives a false impression of being in better financial standing. Whatever your situation, it is important to know where you really stand. It is important that your personal balance sheet be accurate, so be sure to include all of your assets and accounts, taxable and tax-deferred, as well as all of your debt and liabilities. Consider your vehicles, furnishings, clothing, jewelry, etc. Your debt should include all the items that you owe, such as your home mortgage, car loans, credit card debt, school loans, interest-free loans, etc. Once you have developed and updated your personal balance sheet for several quarters, you will begin to get a feel for the pace of your progress. You will then be able to better estimate when you will be able to achieve the goals you've set for yourself.
Many people find such a thorough organization of their financial information daunting. Trilogy advisors are equipped with advanced technology and tools which can help you aggregate your goals and your balance sheet all in one place, even to the point of being able to project the probability of success of your various goals. As you move through your career, the ability to keep your goals and financial plan organized becomes increasingly challenging. Let us come along side you as you travel to your next destination.

University of Nebraska enrollment grows to 20-year high
University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken announced today that NU's enrollment has grown to its highest total in 20 years, thanks in part to meaningful gains in the key group of first-time freshmen.
Total enrollment at NU's four campuses plus the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis is 50,705 this fall, a 1 percent increase over last year. Undergraduate enrollment – an important metric for the university – grew slightly, with first-time freshmen increasing by nearly 7 percent. Enrollments of graduate and professional students also grew.
Other highlights this fall include the 14th straight year of record-high enrollment at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the largest incoming freshman class in history at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, and a 12 percent increase in first-time freshmen at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
Milliken said that while he is pleased with the overall growth, the university must do even more to attract and retain students from Nebraska and other states and countries so that Nebraska remains competitive in the knowledge economy.
"In just a few short years, two-thirds of all jobs in Nebraska will require education beyond high school. If Nebraska is to meet the workforce demands of the future, we will need to encourage many more students to pursue a college degree," Milliken said. "I am pleased that a growing number of students and families are taking advantage of the affordable, quality education that the University of Nebraska offers, but we need to focus our efforts on expanding access to higher education to even more individuals who can benefit from it."
Milliken noted that ensuring affordable access to high-quality education is among the most important priorities of the university and Board of Regents. Tuition and fees at each NU campus are well below the peer average, and the university will become an even better value for Nebraskans with a two-year freeze on resident tuition that took effect in 2013-14. In addition, NU students graduate with average debt levels that are comparable to or lower than their peers', and the four NU campuses have the four-lowest student loan default rates among Nebraska public institutions.
The university has made record investments in financial aid, including Collegebound Nebraska, which guarantees that qualifying Nebraska students can attend NU and pay no tuition. Both Collegebound Nebraska and UNL and University of Nebraska at Kearney high school academies that provide students in Omaha, Grand Island, Kearney, Lexington and North Platte an opportunity to receive full scholarships to the university are helping to increase college-going among historically underrepresented student groups in Nebraska, including first-generation, low-income and minority students.
Private funds also play a significant role in making education more affordable. More than 2,500 NU students this fall are receiving financial aid from the Susan T. Buffett Foundation, which provides scholarships to students at Nebraska public colleges and universities.
In all, more than half of NU undergraduates – and 70 percent of UNK undergraduates – receive some form of grant aid that does not have to be repaid.
The university also is working to attract more talent from outside Nebraska. NU's enrollment goals include doubling international student enrollment to about 6,000, and the University of Nebraska Online Worldwide offers more than 130 programs that are an excellent option for Nebraskans and others who are not in a position to attend one of the physical campuses. Initiatives such as UNO's recently expanded Metropolitan Advantage Program, which allows students in 11 western Iowa counties to attend UNO at 150 percent of the resident tuition rate, are also making the university a competitive option regionally.
NU's fall 2013 enrollment totals are as follows:
Campus enrollment totals
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
- 24,445
- 1 percent increase
University of Nebraska at Omaha
- 15,227
- 3 percent increase

The body of a Pennsylvania woman missing since February 9 was found this week in a car with tinted windows and covered with snow, both of which made it impossible for anyone passing the vehicle to see inside, police say.
The AP reports that the car belonged to 22-year-old Nadia Malik of Marple Township. It was first parked outside a train station in Philadelphia where it was ticked. The car was towed to another spot where it was ticketed several more times.
"If you look at the car, it's tinted heavily on the back and side windows, and the windshield would have been covered with snow," a detective told the AP.
Malik's body was found in the passenger seat with a duffle bag over her head. An autopsy is being performed today. Her boyfriend and father of her two children, arrested on a probation charge in Ohio, is wanted for questioning.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 139 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
Social Media MC
We are two sisters who have been previous business owners and learned on our own how to use social media to grow our business. Through years of research and experience we were very successful and have decided to start our own partnership to help others maximize social media for their companies. We are very friendly, hands-on, organized and always keeping up with the industry.
Small companies and individual business owners. We are looking to help those starting out and those who do not know where to begin when it comes to utilizing social media and all of the resources the internet has to offer to grow their business.
The fonts we are leaning for are something similar to Kai, Footlight MT and something more fun for the tag line. We like the lettering to the right of the logo or below it.
We want a logo that represents networking, connections, people connecting, two-way communication, linking, socializing.
We like lots of color and hope you can incorporate some bold colors. We lean towards greens and blues but like red, orange, yellow too. We are leaning towards a white background and black lettering so the color should be in the logo. We are open with ideas for this too though, so please don't feel limited!
We are not sure of our tag line yet, but have considered something like 'Be seen. Be heard. Become Remarkable.' - so that might inspire something too.
We will need the logo in Vector format .ai file.
Thank you!

A major new grant to Hope College from the National Science Foundation (NSF) will provide scholarship aid to community-college students who are interested in continuing their education in the sciences at Hope.
The scholarships will support students who transfer to Hope to major in biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, the geological and environmental sciences, mathematics or physics after completing work at a community college. The $564,360 grant has been awarded through the NSF's "Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics" (S-STEM) program. It is one of approximately 90 new S-STEM awards made nationwide this year.
"Hope has a proven record of success in preparing students for successful careers in the sciences, but historically most of our students have gone through our entire four-year program. We believe we also have a lot to offer to students who have completed a two-year degree and are seeking the additional career options made available through a four-year degree," said Dr. Herb Dershem, who is the Hope initiative's coordinator and also a professor of computer science. "We hope that by providing additional scholarship assistance and enhancing our outreach to community colleges in the region that we can help make attending Hope a reality for them."
The program will provide scholarships of up to $10,000 per year to eight transferring students each year for three years, with the scholarships renewable for a second year for each student who meets eligibility requirements. The goal is to have the first set of students arrive on campus in the fall of 2008, with additional groups supported through the program beginning in 2009 and 2010.
The scholarship aid, however, is only part of the program, according to Dershem. Each incoming student will also be given the opportunity to participate in collaborative research full-time with a Hope faculty member during the summer before beginning classes at the college. In 2007, some 180 students participated in summer research in the sciences at Hope.
"They will be offered a research position to come and work here in their chosen field," Dershem said. "That's a great way to orient them to campus and for them to meet other students and faculty. It gets them involved right away."
The college will also provide program support during the school year to help the students make the transition to Hope as transfer students, including through an orientation geared toward them specifically, career counseling, peer mentoring and other activities.
"The idea is not just to provide the scholarship, but to also provide the climate, the environment, on campus to help assure that the students who receive the scholarships are successful," Dershem said.
The scholarships will be available to any students transferring after completing work at a community college, but Hope will be focusing recruitment efforts on six institutions within Michigan specifically: Grand Rapids Community College, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek, Lansing Community College, Muskegon Community College and Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. Dershem has already started working with faculty and administrators at the six schools to help promote the program, and hopes to identify prospective students early so that they can begin to shape their coursework at the community colleges in anticipation of enrolling at Hope.

The final installment of the Modern Quilt Guild's Project Modern Challenge, to find your own voice, has been the most difficult to me. I have entered each of the three earlier challenges, and amazingly enough was chosen a winner in both the first and second, so I really wanted to enter the last one as well.
But with the only guideline being to create a quilt that is all me, I was a little intimidated, to tell you the truth. I feel like my previous entries had all been a reflection of my style and aesthetic, but I also had other guidelines to fall back on for each one.
Not this time. So, I've struggled a bit, thinking about what I wanted to create. I drew up lots of sketches and even started sewing some blocks together, but they just weren't working. Then, I decided to go back to my sketchbook and look through some earlier drawings and designs.
This one felt right. It's totally me. It's inspired by a large silo that sits on the farm just next to the Lebanon Correctional Institute. Yep, the big prison just outside of Monroe, Ohio.
It's about 10 miles from my house and we occasionally drive past it on the way to the interstate. It's one of those things that I've probably seen for years, without really seeing it, but one day as I was driving the design of the silo just caught my eye. And I grabbed my sketchbook as soon as I could and started drawing.
I redrew the design in my new sketchbook, making a couple of tweaks to colors and scale, and I started cutting and sewing last night.
Let's hope it turns out the way I think it will. I've only got until the end of this month to finish it, so I need to work fast. I'll keep you posted!

Great Plains Regional Preview
state of Colorado typically isn't considered a hot-bed for baseball
talent, but it has produced a steady stream of pitchers to both
the Division I level of college baseball and the big leagues. Most
baseball fans are familiar with current hurlers such as David
Aardsma, Luke Hochevar, Brad Lidge, Mark Melancon and Roy Halladay,
as well as Hall of Fame closer Goose Gossage.
Head Coach Marc Johnson of Cherry Creek High School has had the
privilege to coach many of these players, including Aardsma, Hochevar
and Lidge, as well as other eventual big leaguers such as catcher
Josh Bard and outfielder Darnell McDonald.
Colorado is well known for pitching," Johnson said in a recent
interview with Perfect Game. "We don't have nearly as many
position players come out of here. We've had Josh Bard, but the
majority of players that come out of Colorado are pitchers."
development of pitching may seem surprising given the effects the
high altitude and dry, light air has on how well the ball travels off
the bat, as evidenced by the gaudy run totals you may see at any
given game at the Colorado Rockies home ballpark. The robust
offensive numbers posted in Coors Field caused the Rockies to be
creative with the way they handle things, including the institution
of a humidor in the clubhouse in which the baseballs are stored to
help negate these effects.
those elements also means the players that grow up in the area have
to learn to pitch a little differently than those in other parts of
the nation.
lot of people don't understand this," Johnson continued, "but
because of our weather and the high altitude the curveballs aren't as
effective here. If you have a good curveball in Colorado you have a
great one. (Pitchers) develop the fastball. So you see a lot of
kids coming out here that have really good arms, a lot of them
(pitch) in the high-80s and low-90s, and by the time they get to
college they get to the middle 90s in a hurry. They throw a whole
lot of fastballs without as much offspeed stuff, particularly
curveballs. So I think their arms stay stronger.
natural breaking stuff is better because our air is lighter. You
take a kid with a good breaking ball out of Colorado, take him to
Texas or the Midwest and it's usually dynamite. So when you see a
good breaking ball or offspeed pitch in Colorado you know it's pretty
special. You have to develop a fastball and a change if you expect
to have success (here)."
thing that all of the pitchers mentioned above have in common is
they're the big-bodied kids, like the Roy Halladays," Johnson said
of the Colorado pitching pipeline. "There are a lot of these kids
that have that big body, the 6-4, 6-5 body that fills out (as they
get older). Brad Lidge, (David) Aardsma, Roy Halladay, (Luke)
Hochevar were all this size. These kids seem to have a lot of

is also mindful of their success.
actually worked out with (Louisiana State pitcher and 2009 PG/Aflac
All-American Kevin Gausman) and Alex Blackford, who is at Arizona
State, a few times," Burr said. "Just seeing what they were
doing and where they wanted to go drove me because I want to be in
their position."
is currently ranked the best player in the 2012 class coming out of
Colorado, and is ranked No. 27 overall in the nation. He serves as
the ace for his Highlands Ranch team, which made the Final Four in
the Colorado High School state championship a year ago, falling to
the eventual champion Regis Jesuit team.
Ranch opens this year as Perfect Game's No. 7 team in the Great
Plains region, while Burr and his teammates have big expectations for
the 2012 season.
want to win a state championship, I'm not going to lie to you,"
Burr said of his team's goal for this year. "We've been close
enough to take it. I have a really strong feeling that we can do it
if we play like we should, and that's the basic goal for me and every
player on my team.
have a really strong team coming into the year. We have six or seven
returning seniors, so we have really high expectations for what we do
this year. We have a lot of strengths and we have a few weaknesses
that we need to figure out before we get going, but overall we're all
really excited."
able to excel this year, Burr recognizes that the key to his team's
success may sounds simple, it's a case of being easier said than
consistent with everything we do. That may be too broad, but when it
comes to all parts of the game you have to be consistent, go out
there every day and play like it's your last game. Which I think we
will do, but you have to be conscious of it and make that our main
between the 2011 and 2012 high school seasons, Burr has been busy,
spending much of his time on the road participating in events such as
the Perfect Game National in Fort Myers, Fla., the Perfect Game
All-American Classic in San Diego, Calif. as well as the WWBA World
Championship in Jupiter, Fla. He has been fairly consistent
throughout his travels, throwing his fastball in the 88-93 range
while peaking at 94 and mixing in a hard-breaking upper-70s
pinnacle of his travels was his selection to the Classic.
hard to explain the feeling I had when I spoke to Mr. Ford after the
PG National," Burr recalled of his invitation to attend the 2011
Perfect Game All-American Classic. "It's such a great event, I've
grown up watching it every year. It doesn't really seem real until
you get there. It's such an outstanding feeling, I'm so proud of
myself and my teammates and everyone that surrounded me to help me
get there. It's just an awesome feeling and I'm glad that I had the
opportunity to be a part of that event."
the platform has been different during his travels over the last 10
months, the mind-set has remained the same.
all different, but at the same time it's all the same," Burr said
of his approach between his high school team, a showcase and a
tournament event with his summer/fall travel team, the Midland
Redskins/Royals Scout Team. "No matter what team I'm on or who I'm
playing with, whether it's with my best friends that I go to high
school with or my pals from the summer, we want to win no matter
what. We're all competitive, we all push each other. It all comes
down to having fun playing a sport that you love."
you don't love the sport you don't have fun playing it," Burr
continued. "At the same time I have to stay focused because we
have a huge year ahead of us. On the showcase side of things you
just go out there and show what you've got and the players around you
help make you look good."
focus also allows him to recognize what needs to be done to continue
to improve to achieve greatness. While he is ranked as one of the
top high school players in his class, he has also committed to play
for perennial Division I powerhouse Arizona State. Whether his path
takes him to college or directly to professional baseball, a lot of
time needs to be devoted to the game that he loves.
biggest thing for me was to get in the best shape that I could so I
could go out there and be more durable," Burr said of the things he
has been working on over the winter months. "(I want to) throw
more complete games and (have) more body control which allows me to
throw more strikes and increase my innings without throwing as many
pitches. Pitching-wise the biggest thing I have been working on is a
changeup. That's something I'll need more at the next level if the
opportunity arises.
State is a great place, it's a baseball university. I grew up
watching them win a couple of College World Series. They're (in
Omaha) every year, and the way they play the game stood out to me. I
wanted to go there ever since I was 10 or 11 years old. I'm really
excited for that."

pitcher Ryan Warner of Pine Creek High School and Legend High School
left-hander Tyler Honahan, the 2013 class has the chance to be
Creek right-handed pitching mates Derik Beauprez and Griffin Jax have
already started to generate a lot of buzz in the area, as has Rye
High School lefty Denton Keys. All three are ranked among the top
500 prospects for the class of 2013, with Beauprez (176) and Keys
(187) sitting in the top 200. Those two also share the big-bodied
profile that Coach Johnson pointed out as being a common theme with
the most successful arms the state of Colorado has produced.
talent extends to the 2014 class as well, with 6-foot-5 sophomore
left-hander David Peterson of Regis Jesuit looking to continue the
younger pitchers in the state are the ones that the pro scouts are
going crazy to see," Johnson said of the class of 2013. "To open
our season we probably had 10 professional clubs there to watch these
juniors, so that's pretty rare.
pitching is pretty special, that's for sure."

Journalists who report on sensitive issues such as drug trafficking, government corruption, and land conflicts face frequent threats and attacks in a nation so gripped by violence and lawlessness that it has become one of the most murderous places in the world. The abduction and murder of Ángel Alfredo Villatoro, one of the country's best-known journalists and a friend of President Porfirio Lobo, made headlines for weeks and prompted nationwide demonstrations against anti-press violence. The authorities did not identify a motive but charged three people in the attack. Reflecting the deep polarization that followed the 2009 military-backed coup, attacks against reporters seen as supportive of the ousted president, Manuel Zelaya, attracted far less attention and official action. CPJ research shows that the authorities have been slow and negligent in investigating numerous journalist murders and other anti-press crimes since the 2009 coup, even as they have tried to minimize the extent of the violence. Official negligence in the investigations—CPJ found that the authorities often failed to interview witnesses or collect evidence—has made it difficult to determine the motives in many of the cases. While the U.S. Senate said it would withhold some aid from Honduras due to alleged human rights violations by police, the State Department announced the creation of a Bilateral Human Rights Working Group to assist the Honduran government with investigations into journalist murders.
CPJ research has found journalist murders are rarely solved. Convictions have been obtained in one of five cases since 1992. Reporters covering crime, corruption, and politics have been especially vulnerable to attacks.
* Adds up to more than 100 percent because more than one beat applies in certain cases.
CPJ research shows at least three journalists have been murdered in direct relation to their work since the coup. Twelve others have been killed in unclear circumstances, and CPJ continues to investigate.
In separate attacks, gunmen fired on Radio Cadena Voces reporter José Encarnación Chinchilla López, JBN internacional television journalist Selvin Hercules Martínez, and Channel 6 correspondent Elder Joel Aguilar. No fatalities were reported.
A 2011 U.N. report found that Honduras had the world's highest per capita homicide rate, with 82.1 murders per every 100,000 inhabitants.

I won't rehearse the myth of Sisyphus here. But suffice it to say that I don't agree with Camus when he concludes his essay "The Myth of Sisyphus":
I am happy when I play Tetris although I know that that game is only about struggle that will never end. The difference is that I decide to engage in the game myself. Sisyphus had no such choice. And I can abandon Tetris at any moment, sans the grip that the game holds on my through my own competitive nature. Again Sisyphus could not end his torment on his own.
What does this have to do with email and #noemail? A wise observation by Andrew Hyde in a tweet that returns to me via Mark Suster's post at CloudAve.com titled Why Email May Be Draining Your Companys Productivity is right on target.
Mark goes on in his article to talk about his own experiences with the illusive inbox zero and the impact of email and normalized email behaviors on his life as a VC and startup exec. Some of Mark's insights as specific to his work (as he himself notes) but many are very useful in getting us all to do a bit more out of the (in)box thinking.
email is Tetris; not Sisyphus' stone. There are alternatives. You can escape.

|ギタイ Gitai
|Naruto Shippūden the Movie
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Gitai (ギタイ, Gitai) was a shinobi who hailed from the Land of Demons and appeared in Naruto Shippūden the Movie.
He was overconfident in his abilities and was very gruesome during battle, while also abusing the extra chakra with overly powerful techniques simply to show off. He was very cruel and mocked his opponets. Gitai has been described as being crazy yet manly. He apparently held the same goals as Yomi.[1]
Gitai had pale white skin, white shoulder-length hair and red eyes. He had a blue cloth around his mouth. He wore a white attire with a hexagram symbol similar to the rest of the Gang of Four, a blue sleeveless shirt inside, and martial artist shoes. When he transformed he became much bigger and gained two extra sets of arms and a tail. His skin also became a tanish colour and he gained green markings on his arms and faces. He also gained extra faces.
Gitai was shown to be the muscles of the team. Whilst under the influence of Yomi's dark chakra, he made great use of his huge form to strike with his powerful fists. His preferred combat tactics revolved around his strength and earth chakra. With his large fists, he could punch ten times harder than a normal man. His earth techniques would then be at its highest potential. He could encase his opponents in walls of rock or infuse himself with rock to form a powerful armour. He could use this armour for defence and/or offence. When being overpowered, he can create an enhanced version of his armour. With his earth chakra, he also can launch tracking projectiles, and blast targets by stamping it.
During the night in freeing Mōryō's soul, Gitai was given Fire Release chakra instead, which he showed proficiency in creating a circle of flames on the ground, combining with Setsuna's wind to create a tornado of intense conflagration that could blow away and burn their adversaries simultaneously. His control over the fire was such that he could force the tornado to detonate once he deemed it has killed his opponents.
Gitai's trump card, however, is to force the chakra snake out and drink the dark chakra, which allows him to transform into an Asura-like entity, with the ability to launch bombs in the earth every time he punches the ground. Unfortunately for him, this causes him to be unstable, which, with a powerful strike, can lead to his body exploding.
He also had an enhanced sense of smell similar to the Inuzuka clan's.
Plot Overview
Gitai was a member of Yomi's team who were on a quest to release the demon Mōryō. In the beginning of the movie, he teamed up with Setsuna to kill the guards of Mōryō's prison. Later, during the attack on the temple Shion resided in, he and his team ran into Naruto and his team. During the fight, he made good use of his earth chakra to adjust the terrain to his team's advantage. After the group was chased away by Sakura and Lee, Setsuna ordered Gitai to track Kusuna down with his nose.
During Gitai's second battle with Naruto's team, Gitai fought Lee. He quickly began pushing Lee back with his earth-based ability to shift the ground and transform into a huge rock statue using his Earth Release: Hardening Technique. After he began mocking Lee's taijutsu abilities, Lee began opening the Eight Gates, enabling him to destroy Gitai's stone armour. He went from the third to the fifth gate, but it was not enough to defeat Gitai. Then Gitai ingested some of the chakra snakes from his arm, after which he transformed into a giant six-armed three-headed demon. Every time Gitai would hit the ground with his arms, bombs would be launched at Lee. If Lee were to land on that spot, the bombs would detonate. Lee was forced to start using the Drunken Fist (brought on by taking a whiskey-laced chocolate given to him by Might Guy), with which he was able to break through Gitai's defences. His body became unstable because of the transformation, Gitai exploded and died leaving a purple cloud in the sky. Kusuna was disappointed in his effort.
- Gitai can mean ""mimicry" (擬態) or "artificial body" (義体).

2 brothers accused of eating dug-up bodies
Two brothers were arrested after alllegedly stealing and eating human corpses.
ISLAMABAD — Two brothers arrested for the second time over accusations of cannibalism appeared in court Tuesday, police officials said, in a sensational case that has horrified Pakistanis.
A judge in an anti-terrorism court in Sargodha district ordered the men detained for a week pending an initial investigation, police officer Zafar Iqbal said. They were arrested on Monday on suspicion of eating bodies they had dug up in a nearby graveyard.
Police also recovered a pan they believe was used to cook the body parts, said officer Waseem Abass.
Police raided the brothers' house in central Pakistan after neighbors complained of a horrible stench. Some neighbors also grew suspicious after seeing one of the men in the graveyard, police said.
Authorities found body parts including a skull that may have belonged to a child in the house and detained one of them, Iqbal said. The second brother was arrested later on Monday, following a search of the area.
Police have sent the body parts to a lab for further testing.
The men were previously imprisoned for two years on charges related to digging up bodies, cooking and eating them in 2011, said Iqbal. They were released last summer.
Under Pakistani law cannibalism is not a crime so the men had been charged with, and were convicted of, dehumanizing a body.

The postponement of the event is due to the political situation in Turkey. Manifestations have been ongoing for a week and sponsors do not feel it is the best time to promote a sporting event. They are still committed to the PKRA and kitesurfing but feel that running the event at a later date would be more beneficial.
We received this message from the local organizers:
"Our country has a domestic affair with the government and we have stressful and restless days since last week. Demonstrations are still continuing and all citizens connect to each other without attending any other organizations.
Therefore, this situation has also affected our and whole country's events time plan and brands are anxious about being sponsor on the events.
In this sense, we decided to postpone the event date from 19 -23 June 2013 into 21-25 August 2013. In this way it will be more suitable and right for the effectiveness of the championship."
We sincerely hope that things will be calmer in Turkey the following weeks and thank the organizer for making such a hard decision and we are looking forward to the event in August.

Brennan: Ashley Wagner finds redemption in team skating
- After falling twice at U.S. championships%2C Wagner ditched this year%27s long program for last year%27s
- Wagner performed solidly under immense pressure and put the U.S. in position to win a bronze medal
- By the end of the day%2C U.S. held onto third place by three points over Italy and four over Japan
SOCHI, Russia — It was four weeks ago Saturday night that Ashley Wagner's world came a little unhinged. As anyone who has been paying the least bit of attention now knows, the two-time national champion fell twice in her long program at the U.S. championships in Boston and finished fourth, but was placed on the three-woman U.S. Olympic team -- controversially to some -- based on her strong international resume over the past two years.
It was then that things got crazy. People she didn't know, dozens of them, went on Twitter to say she didn't deserve the Olympic berth, even though she totally did. So she swore off Twitter for awhile. She ditched this year's long program for last year's. She did quite a bit of soul-searching. And then she got on the plane to Sochi, was called upon to skate a crucial portion of the Olympic figure skating team competition Saturday night, performed solidly under immense pressure and put the United States in a strong position to win a bronze medal Sunday.
That's quite a month.
COLLUSION:Skaters dismiss report
It's not hyperbole to say that over the length of a 2-minute, 40-second short program at the Iceberg Skating Palace, Wagner redeemed herself. That's exactly what she did. She was once again the solid and reliable skater who has been the most decorated American, male or female, over the past two seasons. She did just what she had to do, no more, no less, to ensure that the United States would easily make the five-nation cut after a wobbly start Thursday.
So, afterward, she naturally found herself being asked about redemption more than a few times, that having become the theme of the evening.
"To the people who doubted I belonged on this team, yes," she said. "But really it was more about proving to myself that I could get beyond that competition and that I wasn't a nervous wreck and that I was that strong, hard-headed competitor that I know that I am and that my mother has been dealing with for 22 years, so that was good for me."
OLYMPIC DEBUT:Wagner thrilled ... until her score
But the part about not being a nervous wreck didn't come easily in the pressure cooker of skating not so much for yourself, but for a team that is relying on your every move. She looked serious – a bit too serious – in her warm-up. She knew this feeling. It was those nerves again, which had made her legs feel like "lead" in Boston.
Her coach, Rafael Arutyunyan, recognized it immediately.
"I was feeling nervous," she said, "and Raf took both of my hands and said, 'Calm down.' He made me look him in the eye and let me breathe it out and relax and said, 'Get into your legs. Relax. Be here.'
"And that's what I needed to get into that moment and out of this 'Oh, it's the Olympics' type of a mindset."
So out she went, as purposeful as ever, and soon she was speeding into the tough combination jump, the triple flip-triple toe -- what she turned into a triple-double in the short program in Boston. There would be none of that this time. She went up for the flip. It came off without a hitch. She propelled herself back into the air for the triple toe. She came down early and two-footed it, which cost her a couple of points, but it was good enough.
TEAM COMPETITION:USA jumps into medal contention
Her other two jumps, the triple loop and double axel, were strong. Otherwise, she skated a bit cautiously, but she more than did her job – staying upright throughout, finishing with ease.
Wagner wasn't entirely pleased with the scores that popped up, but she took the lead in the women's short program with three skaters left, the three highest-ranked skaters in the event. That all three of them passed her was expected, and almost of no matter. The points she won – 7 – guaranteed the United States would make the cut and move onto the final, where, by the end of the day, it held onto third place by three points over Italy and four over Japan.
Wagner had come full circle in four weeks, from basket case to sure thing. She was back to being her old self: the model teammate, the reliable old soul, the skater she always knew she was, even if people who had no idea what they were talking about said she wasn't that anymore.
LIPNITSKAIA:Russian 15-year-old dazzles
So, if someone had come to her on that miserable night four weeks ago, and told her that this was how it would all turn out, with all the cheers and hugs that success brings, what would she have thought?
"I would say, yeah, absolutely, I know that's what I'm capable of," she said. "And I knew that Boston, yes, it was absolutely horrible, but it was the best thing that could have happened to me. Because I went home and I didn't work with Raf, I just listened to Raf. Every single thing that he told me to do, I did. If he told me to do three long programs in a day and I thought it was crazy, I did three long programs. So Boston allowed him to train me the way that he needed to and I knew I would come here prepared."
Ashley Wagner wasn't just back to being her old self. She was right.

You have to visit our booth to enter the draw.
Each attendees will be given a 'tote bag' as part of their registration.
We want to include an 'invitation' in that tote bag.
What does that invitation look like? Hopefully you will provide some creative ideas!
We were thinking something as simple as a printed, on stiff stock paper, an iPad graphic on one side and and an invitation to drop by our booth and test drive "In-Touch Enterprise", our core product, and enter to win an iPad.
On the second side of the invitation we need space to add the following
What is In-Touch Enterprise? There will be 7-10 bullets following. This content will be ready in 24 hrs.
We would then print 1,000 copies for insertion into the tote bags.
The more creative you can make the invitation the better!
Below is a url for iPad graphics
We need one graphic piece with printing on both sides.
1. Invitation to drop by and win an iPad.
2. What is "In-Touch Enterprise"?

Consulthys brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 42 Designs von 22 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We're creating a new web-based community whose main purpose is to promote peace through art. Artists are invited on the platform in order to promote the peace initiatives they support by selling content to community members, whom we call "peace-aware fans".
Not available yet
The main goal of this new web-based platform will be to promote peace through art (i.e. concerts or any kind of artistic events) in any part of the world. Many renowned artists have committed to join us so far and the platform will be launched in a couple weeks.
We'd like to have a nice logo created for the platform (see description below)
- Use peaceful colors (green, light blue, etc)
- The logo must "communicate" the following keywords: peace promotion, arts, artists, music
- Just to give some directions (but you're free to propose better ideas, just unleash your creativity):- we envision having some sort of musical notes being drawn on a music sheet with a paintbrush
- If we can have a nice earth globe (not necessarily big) somewhere on the logo, it'd be nice.
- No restrictions on dimensions (for now)
- We don't want any "peace and love" derivatives
- No flashy colors
