The NAACP's petition to the Department of Justice asking for federal charges, including civil rights charges, to be filed against George Zimmerman has reached one million signatures, the organization reported Tuesday.
The association launched the petition on Saturday evening, shortly after Zimmerman was found not guilty of second-degree murder for the death of Trayvon Martin. The one-million milestone was reached in just two and a half days. The petition was set up on
Roslyn M. Brock, chairman of the NAACP National Board of Directors, was thankful for the support the petition has received. "The support our petition has received shows the mindset of the American public, who are tired of a system of justice that allows for appalling verdicts like the one we saw on Saturday," she said.
Benjamin Todd Jealous, President and CEO of the NAACP, addressed the specifics of the NAACP's request.
"It is clear George Zimmerman's bias played a major role in the events that led to the death of Trayvon Martin," said Jealous. "A cousin called the police days after the murder and said, 'I think he did this because of race.' He had previously called the police dozens of times, disproportionately about young men of color who he thought were suspect. George Zimmerman himself stated on the night of the attack, 'These punks always get away with this.' The law says you must be able to show that race was a factor and that bodily harm was done. We believe there is enough evidence to satisfy this standard."
The NAACP also partnered with MoveOn.org on a petition in support of the effort.
"MoveOn members from all walks of life joined with the NAACP to demand justice for Trayvon and his family because this verdict cannot be the final say in this case," added Anna Galland, executive director of MoveOn.org. "We will continue to fight for justice for Trayvon Martin, and we will work to address the deep-seated injustices that continue to plague our nation – from racial profiling to the proliferation of guns, from Stand Your Ground laws to a deeply flawed criminal justice system."
Interested parties can still sign the petition, which will remain active and open until the Department of Justice completes their case.

It would be hard to imagine a more exciting, pleasurable, and often lucrative occupation than gold panning. You won't have to spend hundreds of dollars to get yourself started in this pastime, either ... and there's plenty of the famous yellow metal still waiting to be found!
Back around 1849, gold panning was the major source of income for thousands of prospectors, and the average daily find was about half an ounce per person. If you could do as well today (and there's no reason why you can't! ), such a seemingly small amount of metal — which is, at the time this article is being written, priced at over $200 an ounce — would provide you with a pretty impressive day's wages!
Gather Your Gold Panning Equipment
When you start out learning how to pan for gold, your most important piece of "mining" equipment is simply a good gold pan. Such a utensil can be as large as 18 inches across, but it's probably best to start with a 12-incher ... which will cost between three and four dollars and should be available at a nearby sporting goods store. When you buy a new steel pan, be sure to wash it to remove the protective coating, then heat it over a campfire or burner (but don't let the metal get red hot) to darken the color and make gold easier to spot. Remember to let the "gold finder" cool gradually — because you can warp a hot pan by dipping it in water — and always keep this vital tool free from grease and oil.
There's also a new plastic pan on the market that simplifies the art of gold panning a bit. In addition to being lightweight, the modern device has built-in ridges, which help to trap the gold.
You'll also need a small shovel and/or a pickaxe, a crowbar (this tool is optional but would be good for cracking open crevices and probing for bedrock), a trowel and/or spoon (to clean out crannies), a whisk broom, a large container with a wide mouth and a tight lid, glass or plastic vials with caps, a big sturdy pocketknife, tweezers or a camel's-hair brush or Q-tip, a magnifying glass, some nitric or hydrochloric acid, and a small amount of mercury.
Where to Find Gold
Gold can be found in large quantities all over the western United States. Lesser known, however, are the gold fields of the eastern U.S. including some particularly rich deposits that have been reported in Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Pennsylvania.
If you plan to pan on private property, be sure to ask permission to work the stream. However, national forests and public domain lands under the administration of the Bureau of Land Management are open panning grounds. National parks and monuments (with the exception of Death Valley) generally are not. The rules in any of these locations may vary, though, so always check with the rangers before you start your search. And no matter where your gold hunt takes you, it's important to leave the land and streams pretty much as you found them (this, of course, includes filling in any holes you may dig).
Gold panning is a form of what's known as "placer (rhyme it with passer, not pacer) mining". Every winter, rains wash small pieces of gold down the sides of hills and into creeks and rivers. Such flakes of the precious mineral — which is nearly 20 times heavier than an equal volume of water, seven times heavier than sand, and four times heavier than most other metals — bump along the river bottom until they sink in a slowing current or get lodged against some obstruction in placer deposits: bits of metal mingled with grit and gravel.
Consequently, the inside curve of a river or stream, crevices, tree roots, and rough bedrock can snare substantial amounts of the heavy ore. (A big boulder in the middle of a gravel bar can yield particularly rich finds.)
"Mossing" is another easy way to pan a lot of "color." When mossy rocks are covered by high winter waters, they'll often trap nearly all the gold that passes over them. (The thicker and older the growth, the more precious metal it might be hiding! ) Dry stream beds can be loaded with gold flakes, too.
How to Pan for Gold
After you've located a promising spot, dig up a couple of handfuls of sand and gravel and put them in your pan. (If you're working a crevice, be sure to scrape out all the little nooks and crannies.) Then cover the accumulated grit with water and remove all the bigger rocks and pebbles, making sure that no dirt (and possibly gold) sticks to them.
If you're "mossing," carefully cut or scrape the plants off a rock until you have enough to cover the bottom of your pan. (Remember that moss has a role to play in the balance of nature, so always leave a few patches to allow the greenery to grow back.) Crunch up the growth to separate it from the dirt, add water, and continue to mash the moss until there's nothing clinging to it.
Now you're ready to pan. First, hold the shallow receptacle in one hand, be sure it contains enough water to put all the ingredients in a state of liquid suspension, and tilt it away from you at about a 30-degree angle. Then, move the pan rapidly back and forth with a slightly oval motion. (If you're using a plastic container, make your movement more like a seesaw.) Keep the action vigorous, but be careful not to spill any sand. About 30 seconds of this agitation will sift all the gold and heavier materials to the bottom of your pan.
Next, find a calm stretch of water and submerge the container's sand-laden end. Then draw the pan out slowly, allowing the water to carry the lighter sand, sticks, moss, etc. over its edge. You can usually do this about three times before you have to shake down the gold again. (It may take a few tries to get the hang of this panning technique.)
Continue to remove any of the bigger pieces of rock, while you keep an eye out for nuggets. Work the contents of your pan down until you have mostly gold and black sand left. (This black sand, which often accompanies placer gold, is a type of iron compound, usually magnetite. A red sand — actually ground-up garnets — is also found in some gold-producing streams.) Swish the sand back and forth to see how much color you have. It's been said that seven flakes of gold in one pan is the mark of a good spot. Don't let the minute size of those flakes get you down. They'll add up fast; ten troy ounces of gold take up only one cubic inch of space!
Don't Get Fooled by Fool's Gold
All that glitters is definitely not gold ... and, occasionally, even gold doesn't shine. The metal's color can vary from lemon yellow to a dull golden hue. At times, nuggets will be covered with some other metal (like mercury), so check out any soft and very heavy pebbles. Being malleable, gold won't break but will smash or bend instead. The real treasure clue, however, is that the color of gold will remain the same regardless of whether it's in the sun or shade.
Fool's gold (iron pyrite), on the other hand, changes color from shade to sunlight and will flake when broken. Mica, too, glitters under water, but the small, light particles of this substance will usually float away during panning.
If, despite these tests, you're still not sure of your find, put some nitric or hydrochloric acid on the sample. If the chemical bubbles, you've been fooled — the "real thing" will create no reaction at all.
Picking Up the Pieces
Use your tweezers, a wet, narrow camel's-hair brush, or a wet Q-tip to remove each golden flake from your pan. A special enclosed magnet (or a "lodestone" wrapped in paper or plastic to keep it from sticking to the pan) can be used to remove any dry black sand. (Take it slow, however: Smaller pieces of gold often get trapped between the darker grains and can be lost! )
Put your flakes and nuggets in a small vial filled with water, and store any sand that contains tiny specks of "flour gold" in a wide-mouthed container to be separated later.
Since gold is usually formed in quartz veins, always check for the metal in any pieces of quartz you run across. Such gold-bearing rocks are particularly valuable to collectors and — like large nuggets — often bring in several times the price of pure gold.
Seek the Source
All the gold that washes into a stream or river originated in deposits back in the hills, so the way to really "strike it rich" is to find one of these veins or concentrations of the metal. If you carefully and painstakingly follow traces upstream, dig here and there, and closely watch the quantity of "color" in each pan change, you may be able to locate the spot where the gold enters the river. Many fortunes have been found in this way, including the fabulous Peralta mines in Arizona.
If you do discover such a rare "Eldorado," you'll probably want to file a mining claim. This complicated and often expensive process (as well as many other practical aspects of gold prospecting) is very clearly explained in Looking for Gold: The Modern Prospector's Handbook by Bradford Angier (Stackpole Books, 1975) , $5.95 ($6.95 as of September, 1979).
Remember, too, that most people with claims run big dredges, carry guns night and day and are pretty serious about what they're doing. So if you want to pan in an area that's already been staked out, I strongly advise that you ask permission from whoever is working the claim. I've yet to be refused such a request, as the dredges concentrate on digging the bottom of the river where the heaviest gold is usually (but not always!) found.
The Amalgamation Process
After panning for a long time, you'll eventually get quite a collection of black sand mixed with fine gold dust. The only practical way to separate the material is to amalgamate it with mercury. For this procedure, you'll need perhaps an ounce of quicksilver and your pan.
First, cover about half the pan's bottom with the sand mixture, add a little water, and "pack" the material with a can or bottle ... which should be moved around in a circular pattern to polish the gold. (A few tablespoons of water softener added at this time may help the amalgamation process.) After grinding for 10 minutes or more, add a drop of mercury about the size of a plump pea (or approximately twice as much mercury as there is gold to be recovered).
CAUTION: Be careful with mercury! Don't swallow it or breathe the vapors, and avoid prolonged skin contact. The substance is very poisonous!
Once you've put in the mercury, grind for another five to ten minutes, add water, and shake the mixture well. Then slowly pan off the lightest sand. Eventually, all the gold and mercury should bind at the bottom of your container.
If you want to conserve your mercury, place the amalgam in a very thin, wet chamois. Hold the ends and slowly twist the material so that the excess "liquid silver" is squeezed through and can be saved. Your chamois will then contain an amalgam "button" which still includes a little mercury.
Place this nodule in a metal container and heat it (outdoors) over a low flame for a good 20 minutes. Again, be very careful NOT to breathe the fumes! (The mercury can also be burnt off with nitric acid.) The result should be a gold sponge button, which you can leave as is or melt down. (Gold melts at 1,945°F.)
Sell or Save
Gold and precious metals are weighed in the troy system. Here are some equivalents to help you estimate the size of your find: 20 pennyweights = 1 troy ounce ... 12 troy ounces = 1 troy pound ... 1 troy ounce = 1.1 avoirdupois ounces or 31.1 grams.
After you've weighed your panned riches, you can sell them if you wish. Jewelers, collectors, rock shops, dentists, and various companies buy gold. Probably the most profitable way to market your "strike", however, is to first make it into jewelry! Nuggets are especially suitable for such handicraft use, and even tiny flakes of the metal can be suspended in fluid inside clear, crystal lockets. (I've seen such items sell for outrageous prices!)
Or, of course, you can simply save your "bonanza" and watch its value grow. After all, what else is "as good as gold"?

1997 Ford Ranger PreRunner - Race RangerPosted in Features on October 1, 2009
Kevin McMurray of Peoria, Arizona, grew up riding dirt bikes in the desert and on motocross tracks, so he's always had the racing bug. In time, he swapped to racing UTVs until recently when he decided he wanted to get into the truck arena. He found a '97 Ranger that suited his needs and made the purchase. The Ford you see here was originally modified for the previous owner and built up as a serious daily-driver prerunner.
Kevin saw it as a good start to what he wanted to become a Class 1400 race truck for some more serious desert romping. With that intent, he turned to the guys at FST Motorsports in Phoenix to bring the truck to the next level and make it race worthy. They further beefed and tuned the suspension, installed a more reliable drivetrain, and upgraded the powerplant to a healthy V-8. Now the truck moves fast and soaks up the bumps with ease.
When we saw the truck it hadn't been completed for too long and had already seen some races. Kevin's first race was a Whiplash series race in Snowflake, Arizona, where he placed second in class. He's followed that with a fifth place showing at the SNORE Battle at Primm race. This truck's gone from playing in the streets to dueling in the dirt.

Today is National Doughnut Day, but no Free Doughnuts in Lufkin or Nacogdoches
Friday June 1st (TODAY!) is National Doughnut Day. If you live in a place that has them, Krispy Kreme locations across the nation will be celebrating by offering a free…doughnut of any variety, no purchase necessary. Any kind? Wow, I would get a giant one! We used to have Krispy Kreme at certain convenience stores, but never a dedicated store. The offer is good for one free doughnut, of any variety, one per customer today only.
Dunkin' Donuts is offering a similar promotion at participating stores nationwide. One free doughnut with the purchase of a beverage. Not as good as Krispy Kreme's deal, but it's still something free.
So as far as I know, there is no way to get some free donuts today in the East Texas area because of National Doughnut Day, but perhaps you do? Let me know below and we will get the word out.
In the famous words of Homer Simpson, "Mmmmmm, Doughnuts!"

Finances squeeze accordion fest
In San Antonio, it's not difficult to find someone playing an accordion. But this year, fans won't experience the concentrated, diverse squeezebox sounds that have ruled La Villita since the International Accordion Festival started in 2001.
The 12th annual festival, originally scheduled for this weekend, will not happen.
"In our book, we have not cancelled 2012, we have postponed it 11 months," said Pat Jasper, a co-founder of the International Accordion Festival and a member of its board of directors.
Jasper, director of folklife & traditional arts with the Houston Arts Alliance, said she is "dedicated to this festival re-upping its ante in September of 2013."
The festival, a free event, took a financial hit because of inclement weather last year and in 2009. Festival financing comes from grants from the city's Office of Cultural Affairs and arts organizations including the Texas Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts; from sponsors and private donors; and from concession and merchandise sales.
A lack of concession sales "hurts us in a rain year," said Joe Benjamin, the chairman of the festival's board of directors and an architect at Lake Flato. "Grants tend to help fund the festival. They help pay for artists, security and hotel rooms. Proceeds from the sale of beer, concessions and products provide the start-up money for the following year."
Moving the festival to Sept. 13-15, 2013, will bring it in line with the city's fiscal year, which runs Oct. 1-Sept. 30.
"The Office of Cultural Affairs could never give us our funding level until the City Council met in early September," Jasper said. "That was hard on us. If you go through a hard year, it decreases your margins. And we always paid our artists. It's as simple as that."
Juan Tejeda is an accordionist and leader of Conjunto Aztlan and director of the Conjunto Music Program at Palo Alto College. He also is a co-founder and coordinator of the long-running Tejano Conjunto Festival en San Antonio and was a co-founder of the International Accordion Festival. Though he's no longer involved in the accordion festival, he's still a fan.
"The International Accordion Festival is totally unique. There's not another festival like it in the world," Tejeda said. "It's not just another festival. The accordion tradition is throughout the world. It's a working-class instrument. The festival is an opportunity for San Antonio, the state and the nation to experience the accordion traditions of the world."
Board chairman Benjamin grew up in Lafayette, La., surrounded by accordion-powered Cajun and zydeco music.
"The festival has a large fan base, and that's attributable to the talent we bring in," he said. "There's variety in the audience and variety from old to young. That's because the festival has presented everything from hip-hop with accordion to polkas to zydeco."
Accordionist Mark Weber, leader of the conjunto Los Cuernos and host of radio station KEDA's Sunday program "El Gringo de Domingo," has attended the festival since its inception.
"The accordion is worldwide. The festival showcases all kinds of music, and it's an appreciation of culture," Weber said. "Maybe we're inspiring other people. Who knows? To me, it's easier to appreciate other cultures when you appreciate their music."
Though there won't be a festival this year, accordion fans need not despair. The Conjunto Heritage Taller, an organization dedicated to preserving, promoting and teaching conjunto music, will stage its 10th annual Conjunto Tardeada from 6 to 11 p.m. Saturday in La Villita's Maverick Plaza. There'll be music by Conjunto Los Padrinos, Susan Torres y Conjunto Clemencia, Henry Zimmerle y su Conjunto San Antonio and Bene Medina y su Conjunto Aguila.

Group cosplay, forever alone style! Yeah, that's all me.
In this post, I'll get into how I did each one!
Intro, and some bad old pictures
For those of you who have the patience to read for some extra info!
When I started cosplaying, I didn't think makeup was such a major part of it. I was so hesitant to even put eyeliner because I'd think, "This character is a guy, I shouldn't look like I'm wearing makeup!" And I guess I was silly enough to think I looked enough like the characters I chose without doing anything to my face?
I can't find more pictures of my really old cosplays (which is just as well, hahah) from the time I didn't want to use makeup apart from these:
I cosplayed as Haku from Naruto. I don't remember wearing any makeup for this. It doesn't show too well on these pictures but I saw some others where the natural redness of my lips made it look like I was wearing lipstick even if I wasn't. I felt it made me look more feminine than I should. Haku is still a guy after al

Drawing Essentials: A Guide to Drawing from Observation
Oxford University Press, 2009 - Art - 298 pages
Ideal for introductory studio art courses in drawing, Drawing Essentials: A Guide to Drawing from Observation thoroughly covers the three drawing subcategories that are most important at the foundation level--basic drawing (non-subject specific), figure drawing, and perspective drawing--explaining clearly and in depth the elements that are essential to depicting form and space on a two-dimensional surface.
Addressing and illustrating studio experiences that are not effectively dealt with in other drawing books, this unique text elucidates such fundamental (yet challenging) concepts and methods as the process of sighting; scaling techniques; meaningful and descriptive line variation; observation and development of tonal structure; creation of interesting and instructive still lifes; the conceptual impact of still-life objects; the unique challenges of the human figure and portraiture; basic and advanced perspective systems; brainstorming and the generation of ideas; and the use of photographs as reference. Throughout, award-winning artist, teacher, and author Deborah Rockman focuses on the cultivation of observational skills, increased sensitivity, critical thinking, technical refinement, and knowledge of materials.
Drawing Essentials further distinguishes itself from other texts on the market by including many high-quality student works drawn from Rockman's twenty-seven years of teaching experience, as well as carefully selected works from historical masters and numerous contemporary artists for whom drawing is a primary studio practice. In addition, Rockman provides students with invaluable practical material, including coverage of various traditional and nontraditional drawing media and surfaces and information on alternative processes that can be combined with drawing. Drawing Essentials also provides powerful examples of what more advanced students can accomplish with a strong foundation drawing background.
An exceptional, all-in-one, and affordable resource on drawing, figure drawing, and perspective, Drawing Essentials helps students to develop a thorough understanding of drawing fundamentals, which in turn will prepare them for more advanced experiences with drawing and the myriad possibilities that it offers.

Superstorm-Sandy-delayed recaps continue with a smidge belated take on the second — and final — night of the blitzkrieg that is the knockout rounds of "The Voice."
Team Christina Aguilera
Christina first paired up Devyn DeLoera with "I Have Nothing," and Laura Vivas, with "I Need to Know." Laura should have won this; I mean, she sang in Spanish! She was sexy-Latin-dancing! But Christina went with Devyn.
Christina's second pairing was Adriana Louise with "Already Gone," and Celica Westbrook with "Never Say Never." Celica should have won this, hands down, due to the Bieber aspect, but Christina went with Adriana.
Next up was Dez Duron, with "Stuck on You," and Alessandra Guercio, with "Take a Bow." Both did amazingly well, but Christina said Alessandra had some more "coming into herself" to do, and went with Dez.
Chevonne was then paired with De'Borah, with "Dancing With Myself," and "You Found Me," respectively. Chevonne's performance was fun, and celebratory, but De'Borah attacked her song with power and grace, and Christina chose her.
Last up for Christina was Aquile, with "Grenade" and Sylvia Yacoub, with "Fighter," and damn, Aquile is SO SMOOTH. It's almost smug, that's how smooth he is. Like, his runs are so subtle. Amazing. Sylvia is basically a brunette Christina, which is not why Christina picked her, but is still a valid observation.
Team Christina: Devyn DeLoera, Adrianna Louise, Dez Duron, De'Borah and Sylvia Yacoub.
Team Blake Shelton
First up for Blake was Gracia Harrison, with "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," and Liz Davis, with "Gunpowder and Lead." Gracia delivered a delightfully twangy song, and Liz's fierceness made me listen to those lyrics — really listen — for the first time (and damn, brutal). Blake went with Liz.
Rockers Rudy Parris and Terry McDermott went up against each other with "Forever" (Chris Brown, AGAIN, WHY?) and "Maybe I'm Amazed," respectively. This was such an awful, stupid song choice for Rudy, but it really let Terry shine with another classic, and Blake went with him.
Collin McLoughlin and Michaela Paige were up next, in what basically a battle between my two of my least favorite contestants. Collin took on "BreakEven" with too much earnestness, and Michaela, despite all my dislike, OWNED "Love is a Battlefield." Blake went with Michaela.
Julio Cesar Castillo then took on the Bieber with "Somebody to Love," against MarissaAnn, with "Lady Marmalade." (Why do people keep picking Bieber songs? Is he a particularly talented vocalist? Honestly? I love him, but really, think about this.) I'd of gone with MarissaAnn, because it take a lotta brass to sing "Lady Marmalade," but Blake went with Julio.
Last up! Cassadee Pope, with "Payphone," and Suzanna Choffel, with "Could You Be Loved." I love me some Marley and I love me some Suzanna, who was lovely, floating and mellow, but Blake said Suzanna's song choice worked against her, and went with Cassadee.
Going into the live rounds, Team Blake: Cassadee Pope, Julio Castillo, Michaela Paige, Liz Davis and Terry McDermott.
Leftover thoughts ...
On this batch of commercials my crappy Internet has graced me with: Is it poor form to advertise for "The Voice" during "The Voice"? It just seems superfluous.
On Terry McDermott: I'm so okay with him repeatedly singing classic rock songs. It's like I'm listening to a good radio station. And if you squint and turn your head to the side, he could totally look like Paul McCartney.
On the upcoming live shows: Hopefully, like last season, the live shows mean more live performances from the coaches themselves. More studded bustiers for Christina, more feathered headgear for Cee Lo … more of whatever Blake buys in the Big-And-Tall store that makes him look so good. All of it.
On Blake and Adam: On learning Cassadee chose Adam's song "Payphone," Blake simply mused, "He's a pretty feminine guy, that Adam." Geez, not everyone can be a lumberjack like you, Blake.

Although New York adopted the Declaration of Independence at a meeting of the Fourth Provincial Congress in White Plains on July 9, 1776, it was not until November 25, 1783 that British troops finally departed from New York. In the midst of the ongoing war, New York drafted and adopted its first constitution, and set up a functioning government.
The New York State Constitution of 1777 continued the English statutory and common law, provided that it did not conflict with the State's constitution. In 1788, chapter 46 of the laws enacted that year rendered English statutory law invalid, providing that "none of the statutes of England or Great Britain shall operate or be considered as laws of this State." The common law was unaffected by this provision, and the State's second constitution, adopted in 1822, stated that "such parts of the common law and the acts of the legislature of the colony of New York would continue unless altered or repealed or found unconstitutional."
Looking at cases decided in those first 70 years, we can see how the New York judiciary resolved the issues encountered by the nascent State. The impact of the War of 1812 and the growing importance of international relations is readily apparent. Case law from this time shows the ongoing chilling effect of criminal libel actions on political speech, and controversies arising from slavery and colonial land tenure continued to populate court dockets. Judicial resolution of cases associated with New York's growing industrialization and rapidly-developing technology (canals, roads, steamboats and railways) enabled commerce to thrive.
The Bench and the Bar included men of outstanding intellect and achievement, who made a tremendous and lasting contribution to the State and the Nation. In their capable hands, jurisprudence developed through the arguments lawyers presented in court and the judicial decisions that resulted. New York's involvement in the development of the legal framework of the new nation, the ratification of the Federal Constitution and the drafting of Bill of Rights was significant and of lasting value.
When the College was broken up & dispersed in July 1779 by the British, I retired to a country village & [found] Blackstone's com. ...the work inspired me ...I fondly determined to be a lawyer. – James Kent

The East Central University women's basketball team trailed for most of the game at Arkansas-Monticello, but ended up coming back to earn a last-second 63-61 win over the Cotton Blossoms (4-16, 2-13 GAC) in Great American Conference action. The win allowed the Lady Tigers (17-4, 12-3 GAC) to remain in first place alone in the GAC standings.
"I felt like we persevered today," said head coach Kent Franz. "We kept playing and in the final minutes we made some good offensive and defensive plays. We were lucky to make a play in the final seconds and just one second left on the shot clock to earn the win."
ECU was led by senior Regan Browne, who tallied a season-best 18 points and added four rebounds and two assists. Sophomore Dilan Webster was close to a double-double, with 14 points and nine rebounds, while also adding a career-best six blocks.
The first half was slow to get started, as ECU hit a triple in in the first 40 seconds and then both teams remained scoreless until the Cotton Blossoms earned their first point at the charity stripe with 17:36 left to play. UAM tied the game at three and the teams then both struggled to score for the first 10 minutes of the stanza.
The game remained tight until 10:26 was left on the clock and the Cotton Blossoms broke a 10-all tie with a 9-3 run over the next three minutes to take a 13-19 advantage. The Lady Tiger remained down by five-to-six points until 5:45 was left on the clock. ECU went on a 9-7 run until the end of the half that cut the deficit to three, 28-31.
The second half was a back-and-forth battle for the lead, with three ties and five lead changes. Both teams used several large runs throughout the half, with the last coming from the Lady Tigers. With 2:19 left the Cotton Blossoms had taken a 56-60 lead, but ECU countered with a 4-0 run to take a 61-60 lead. UAM tied the game at 61 with one-of-two free throw attempts, with 1:18 left on the clock.
Both teams missed on their next possessions and the Lady Tigers earned the last possession. Senior Kodi Morrison made the most of it for ECU, hitting a lay-up with four second left to lift the Lady Tigers up 63-61. The Cotton Blossoms were not able to get a shot attempt up on the other end and ECU went on to win.
The key difference in the game was free-throw shooting. The Lady Tigers went 20-of-23 from the charity stripe (87%), while UAM struggled to make their shots with the clock stopped, going 17-of-34 (50%).
ECU will now return home to play its final three games at the Kerr Activities Center for the 2012-13 season. The Lady Tigers will first face Southwestern Oklahoma State, Thursday, Feb. 14 in the PinkOut/Date Night at the Kerr Activities Center. Fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of breast cancer awareness and the first 200 fans will receive a free PinkOut shirt, courtesy of Patriot Ford and Valley View Regional Hospital.

Hello, and welcome to my website. Whilst a large part of this site is intended to develop discussion for the legal profession in terms of lawyer career development, career planning, and succession planning, it is also intended to assist with the implementation of what are generally referred to as "the soft skills" - an area of personal development sadly missing from most law school curricula. It also provides practical management advice for professional service firm owners and managers. Last, but certainly not least, I undertake Executive Search assignments for a select group of clients. Having had many years of experience as a hirer and manager of talent I have a solid understanding of what works and what doesn't when looking for new people. I hope that you will use the site in the very constructive way in which it is intended. I use the blog section for making general comments on various issues or posting articles that you may find of interest. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can assist you with. Cheers, Lawrence Atkinson

Nottingham Forest have revived their interest in winger Bakary Sako but Wolves insist "the situation remains unchanged".
It is understood the Reds are keen to land the talented Frenchman on a three-month loan deal with a view to a permanent move in January.
It comes after Wanderers rejected improved offers from Forest leading up to the close of the summer transfer window, with the most lucrative believed to have been in the region of ?3.5million.
The Black Country club are keen to keep hold of Sako, who already has five goals this season, as they aim to secure immediate promotion from League One, with their valuation of the 25-year-old standing at ?4m.
And in response to Forest's latest interest in their prized asset, Wolves' stance has not budged.
An official statement released through social media channels read: "Wolves are aware of the loan/transfer speculation surrounding Nottingham Forest and Bakary Sako.
"Forest have renewed their interest but the situation remains unchanged.
"Bakary is an important player and his value reflects that. Wolves are not encouraging the interest and there is no certainty of a deal."

Matthew Setter has posted a new tutorial about using the ZFTool functionality of Zend Framework v2 for managing your project's settings and configuration.
Welcome to another tutorial. Today, I will be giving you a walk through of zftool, which provides basic tooling support in Zend Framework 2. If you're new to Zend Framework, or have been reading the introductory series here, it can come in quite handy. But unlike other frameworks, such as Yii (through yiic) and Symfony (via the Command Line tool), the tooling support in Zend Framework 2 is rather light on. These respective tools provide rather robust support for automatically generating models from database connections, checking logs and a host of other much required functionality.
He shows you how to do a few things with the ZFTool - create a new project, make some modules inside it, build an autoloader classmap and check the installation with some basic diagnostics. Command examples and configuration samples are included in the post to help you along.

Short review: Magnus Network does it again with a new and fast building site that concentrates on hung studs. There is couple-action with high definition movies to stream or download, there are photo galleries of these gorgeous guys, plus others, and there are links into 11, yes 11, other sites by the same production company. Hard and muscled, hung and horny guys in some really hot sex scenes, plus more, await you.
Content Amount: This is a new site so when I was there I found eight, 20 minute long exclusive episodes; each one featured two totally sexy hunks though. There were eight image galleries also, with around 250 large pics in each one plus 11 bonus sites.

I probably needn't tell you how well the tangy cheesecake works with the rich, dark chocolate brownie. It plays with your taste buds because first off you feel like you're eating cheesecake with brownie, then as you get to the base the brownie texture takes over yet there's an unmistakable cheesecakeyness to it all. Or to put it more simply: yum.
You will see from the ingredients that this recipe makes a lot of brownie mix so please heed the advice to use a deep tin; it would be too sad to lose any mix over the edge...much as your oven might enjoy it! I used a mini roasting pan as it was deeper than my traybake pan.
I made them the day before eating and it was a good idea – they firm up and get squidgy overnight. For lovers of that gooey brownie texture these are a winner because the cheesecake adds to it.
These brownies are great with afternoon tea but would also work well as a dessert. A scoop of ice cream or just some thick cream poured over would soften the hardest heart!

In the veggie garden good quality seeds make all the difference says David Glenn from Lambley Nursery.

Ever been disappointed in the quality of the crop you've so carefully tended from seed?
David says that more often than not for some vegetables it's not the gardener at fault but the quality of the seeds.
After many years planting heirloom varieties of brussels sprouts with no success, David happened upon a commercially bred hybrid variety and hasn't looked back.
He says that if you're after certain traits for a fruit or vegtable - short ripening times or pest resistance, for example - you should try some hybrid varieties and see if you have more luck.
Also today, David solves the mystery of the "pink, boat plant" from a few weeks ago.
To keep up with David Glenn's garden, listen to ABC Ballarat and Southwest Mornings Wednesdays from 10am fortnightly, and for a year round look at what's happening in his garden, check out David's blog.

Jacobs Masterworks Series
San Diego Symphony
When: Repeats 8 p.m.Oct. 13 and 2 p.m. Oct. 14
Where: Copley Symphony Hall, 750 B Street, downtown
Tickets: $20-$85
Phone: (619) 235-0804
It's difficult to think of someone with the accomplishments and expertise of pianist Garrick Ohlsson as being overlooked.
Yet, because he's such a regular visitor to San Diego, frequently performing with both the San Diego Symphony and the La Jolla Music Society, it's easy to take him for granted.
But as Ohlsson reminded everyone at Copley Symphony Hall Friday in a superb performance of Tchaikovsky's Second Piano Concerto with the San Diego Symphony, he's a powerful, persuasive presence at the keyboard.
Given that Ohlsson played the Tchaikovsky No. 2 six days after Lang Lang played the Tchaikovsky No. 1 with the orchestra, it was difficult not to make comparisons. Ohlsson has none of the flash or charisma of Lang Lang, but he has equal command and commitment.
Three decades have passed since the San Diego Symphony last programmed the Concerto No. 2, reflecting the long shadow of Tchaikovsky's ever-popular Concerto No. 1. Ohlsson, however, made you wonder why they waited so long.
It's a quirky piece, with a first movement that seems uncharacteristically disjointed, especially compared with the fluid, organic nature of the first movement of the Concerto No. 1. The second movement is also something of an oddity (it's essentially a piano, violin and cello trio with orchestral accompaniment).
But what the piece has in spades is tunes: one distinctive, unforgettable melody after another. If you don't leave the concert hall humming the theme of the third movement, you might be tone deaf.
With the strong, enthusiastic support of conductor Jahja Ling, Ohlsson made the piano sing at every possible opportunity. Concertmaster Jeff Thayer and principal cello Yao Zhao matched him line for line in the second movement and everyone involved seemed to relish the third movement's high spirits.
The orchestra was in excellent form in a well-balanced program that also included Respighi's Suite I from "Ancient Airs and Dances" and Haydn's Symphony No. 102.
The strings in particular were able to create two entirely different sound worlds: a darker, more substantial sound suitable for Tchaikovsky, and a lighter, more articulated approach appropriate to Haydn. The energy and the finesse the musicians brought to the Hadyn was especially impressive.
If Ohlsson's Tchaikovsky left you humming, the orchestra's Haydn left you dancing. It's a rare concert that can accomplish both.Copyright © 2019, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Formation and Education for the Life of the Church
August 06, 2012
At the annual Saint Meinrad Alumni Reunion, Bernie Niehaus of
Vincennes, IN, and Fr. Donald Wolf of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma
City were honored as winners of the Distinguished Alumnus Award on
July 24.
The reunion was held on the Saint Meinrad campus, St. Meinrad,
IN, July 23-25.
Bernie Niehaus
Bernie Niehaus attended Saint Meinrad High School
from 1951 to 1954. His time left such an impact on him that he
continues to contribute his wisdom and knowledge as a member of the
Seminary and School of Theology's Board of Overseers. His sixth
term ended in April, totaling 18 years of service on the Board of
Overseers, including three years as chair. One nomination noted,
"Bernie has been tireless in the giving of his time to the
Niehaus and his wife Patty reside in Vincennes. They have five
children, Anne, Butch, Catherine, David and Eric; and 19
grandchildren. They are members of St. John the Baptist Parish
Niehaus also maintains his family business, Niehaus Companies
Inc., in Vincennes. It is comprised of 10 companies in the building
materials industry located in Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee,
Illinois and Alabama. He serves as CEO and chairman of the board.
Niehaus' three sons are also involved in the family business.
Upon learning of the award, Niehaus shared this advice, "Get
involved (in the community). Pick two or three areas you want to
serve, and give them your all. You will receive threefold what you
put into your service." Niehaus gives his time and talents to Saint
Meinrad, Vincennes University and the Diocese of Evansville.
In 2004, Niehaus worked with Abbey Press to produce his book
Splinters. Throughout the book, he shares his wisdom and
life experiences about family matters, business operations, the
Catholic Church and his community. In one chapter, Niehaus reflects
on his time at Saint Meinrad: "I owe Saint Meinrad a lot, for it
was the best thing that happened to me."
Niehaus is also a strong promoter of Vincennes University. He
has served on the university's board for 23 years, including as
board chairman. He is also a past chairman of the Vincennes
University Foundation. In 2007, he received an honorary doctorate
of business from Vincennes University.
Niehaus is president of the Red Skelton Museum and Educational
Foundation. He has held the positions of president, regional
director and executive committee member for the Indiana Lumberman's
and Building Supply Association.
Additionally, he served as chairman of the Board of Catholic
Foundation for the Diocese of Evansville and chairman of the
Christian Education Foundation fundraising committee for Vincennes
Rivet High School. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and
serves on the Priest Retirement Committee for the Diocese of
One of those nominating him for the Distinguished Alumnus Award
summed it up: "Bernie is a faith-filled, family-centered, Christian
gentleman who leads by example. He is a passionate promoter of his
church, community, business and alma mater."
Fr. Donald Wolf
Fr. Wolf attended school at Saint Meinrad, starting
as a college junior in 1975 and earning his Master of Divinity in
1981, when he was ordained a priest.
Currently, Fr. Wolf is the pastor of St. Benedict's Parish in
Shawnee, OK. Prior to that assignment, he served as associate
pastor in Guymon and pastor at St. Francis Xavier in Enid, Sacred
Heart in Mangum, Prince of Peace in Altus, Holy Angels and Sacred
Heart in Oklahoma City, and Assumption Parish in Duncan.
In addition to his pastoral responsibilities, Fr. Wolf served
for eight years on the executive board for the National Federation
of Priests' Councils, and from 1997 to 2000 he served as president
in Chicago. His service enriched "the experience of priesthood in
the United States by forming bonds of collaboration and fraternity
among priests of different cultures and countries," according to
one nominator.
Fr. Wolf's passion for Hispanic ministry and his influence in
Oklahoma were highlighted in one recommender's statement, "Numerous
Spanish-speaking Catholics have found a welcome in Oklahoma and
opportunities for grace because of Don's dedication to priestly
ministry." Another person noted Fr. Wolf "has been a primary force
for Hispanic ministry in the Archdiocese (of Oklahoma City) and
In his Archdiocese, Fr. Wolf has served on the Priests Council,
the Clergy Continuing Education Committee and as spiritual director
for numerous Cursillo retreats, both in English and Spanish.
Bishop Anthony Taylor of the Diocese of Little Rock knew Fr.
Wolf when they were students at Saint Meinrad, both studying for
the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. In his recommendation, Bishop
Taylor mentions Fr. Wolf's cousin, Fr. Stan Rother, whose cause for
beatification is in Rome.
Fr. Rother visited the United States from Guatemala in 1981 for
Fr. Wolf's ordination. Two months later, Fr. Rother was martyred.
Bishop Taylor suggests that this inspired Fr. Wolf to "serve the
Lord as courageously, sacrificially and with the same preferential
option for the poor for which Fr. Rother gave his life."
Fr. Wolf's latest involvement has been as chairman of St.
Gregory University's Board of Directors, which is owned by the
Benedictines of St. Gregory's Abbey in Shawnee. St. Gregory's
abbot, Rt. Rev. Lawrence Stasyszen, OSB, writes that Fr. Wolf
brings "a valuable and effective voice and vision" to this role,
and that his love for the university's Benedictine tradition "has
its roots in his experience as a seminarian at Saint Meinrad."
Niehaus and Fr. Wolf became the 20th and
21st recipients of the Distinguished Alumnus Award,
which was begun in 1990.

On September 18, 1892, he formed a West Virginia Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias, one of the leading secret black fraternal orders of the day. The organization included representatives from lodges at Raymond City, Huntington, Charleston, and Montgomery. The black Knights of Pythias was an important social organization for African Americans. Dr. Ancella Bickley writes, "It and other secret orders enhanced the sense of community and national connection among blacks, providing them with opportunities to share in business, social, and civil activities under the lodge's aegis." (James D. Randall and Anna E. Gilmer, Black Past, 17) Starks was grand chancellor of the state organization from the time of its inception. He became the national vice chancellor in 1897 and national supreme chancellor in 1901. The order's national membership grew from 9,000 to 146,869 under Starks' leadership as supreme chancellor.
The importance of southern West Virginia's African-American vote increased as the region's black population grew in the 1890s and early 1900s. Politicans turned to various black civic leaders to organize voters. In Charleston, Samuel Starks, along with barber James Hazelwood and lawyer Phil Waters, became significant players in the Republican party. For his efforts, Starks was named state librarian by Governor A. B. White in 1901 and was reappointed by Governor William M. O. Dawson in 1905.
Starks died of peritonitis on a Charleston operating table on April 3, 1908, at the age of forty-two. Many black-owned businesses closed in his honor. Starks' funeral was attended by thousands and speeches were given by Governor Dawson and West Virginia Colored Institute President J. McHenry Jones. In 1911, the Knights of Pythias placed a thirty-two-foot monument on his grave in Charleston's Spring Hill Cemetery. Starks' home on Shrewsbury Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

With the upcoming release of the horror film "The Conjuring," I decided to make a list of the top 5 bloodiest movies in the history of cinema. This list will focus exclusively on the disturbing amount of blood that appears on a screen and not on the level of fear or suspense that it provokes. Be it bad, obscure, or unsettling, this list is about blood, thick curdling hoses of blood. Here are the 5 bloodiest movies that are sure to make anyone that watches them vomit from disgust.

The latest from evolutionary psychology: Colour vision evolved to detect blushing, NOT snakes
Recently, we learned that colour, detail, movement, and 3-D vision evolved in order to help us avoid snakes (as opposed to all the other dangers, nuisances, and hassles that flesh is heir to). It now turns out that colour vision evolved to help us detect others blushing.
... a team of California Institute of Technology researchers has published a paper suggesting that we primates evolved our particular brand of color vision so that we could subtly discriminate slight changes in skin tone due to blushing and blanching. The work may answer a long-standing question about why trichromat vision (that is, color via three cone receptors) evolved in the first place in primates.
"For a hundred years, we've thought that color vision was for finding the right fruit to eat when it was ripe," says Mark Changizi, a theoretical neurobiologist and postdoctoral researcher at Caltech. "But if you look at the variety of diets of all the primates having trichromat vision, the evidence is not overwhelming."
So let me get this straight: For one hundred years, we were expected to absolutely believe (in publicly funded systems) that the evidence that colour vision evolved to help us find the right fruit to eat was overwhelming - but it now turns out it wasn't. Now we are informed of a "speculation" that colour vision evolved to detect blushing.
Of course, for blushing detection to be a really important factor in the development of the modern human, we must assume that original humans were only lightly pigmented, so that blushing was easy to detect. Do we know this? How?
(In that case, we must also assume that other methods of detection of lying and cheating were not readily available. Why not?)
I have lived all my life among very light-skinned people, and I cannot clearly recall a single instance where blushing was used to determine a person's intentions. For one thing, blushing can be brought on by a number of factors - heavy labour in hot weather, overheated rooms, vigorous exercise, emotional stress, menopause, pregnancy, disease, heavy drinking, surface skin freezing in very cold weather, to name just a few. Awareness of these possible causes of blushing does not require a high level of education, just observation of the people in one's own environment - if one is usually surrounded by very light-skinned people.
No discerning person would take seriously an explanation of truthfulness/intentions based only on blushing. It's a good thing that all this evo psycho is only a "speculation." That's okay with me, really, except, how does it come to be classified as science?
