text: We all have varying experiences when traveling abroad, depending on our background, nationality, and even our race. That is why the website U Go Gurl has created the travel essay book, Go Girl. The book is made up of collected travel essays from prominent African American female writers (Maya Angelou, Alice Walker and Gwendolyn Brooks) and other well-traveled black women relating their experiences of traveling while black and female. The essays range from positive experiences in Egypt, and Ghana to the more complex and revealing experience of traveling in Russia, the British Virgin Islands, and Mexico. While the book deals with themes of identity, nationality, pride, and racism experienced outside of the States; the book ultimately is aimed at encouraging black women to travel and find the resources to do so, even when most mainstream travel guides don't offer up advice addressing black women.

Rahim Moore is the member of the Denver Broncos secondary most associated with the team's stunning playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens. But Moore isn't the only one who wants to bury that game tape.
Champ Bailey's sterling reputation took a hit thanks to Ravens speedster Torrey Smith, who beat Bailey in coverage several times. Bailey will be 35 in June, and it's been speculated the future Hall of Famer could be shifted to safety in the near future.
Coach John Fox said in January that Denver didn't plan to move Bailey. On Thursday, Broncos executive vice president John Elway confirmed there have been no talks of a position change.
"I don't think that's gonna happen," Elway said Thursday on KKFN-FM in Denver. "I think that's a rumor out there. I think the plan right now is to leave Champ at corner. We haven't had any discussions. I know there's been some talk out there but in this building there's not been any talk as far as moving Champ to safety."
Moving Bailey would represent a panic move at this point. Even at his advanced age, Bailey remained one of the game's top corners in 2012. He eventually could follow the path of Charles Woodson and migrate to safety, but it's not happening yet.

A masked Kanye gives elaborate, if pre-packaged, performance at Mohegan Sun
Entering the Mohegan Sun Arena Friday night to see Kanye West, ticket-holders were handed masks of the iconic rapper and asked to wear them throughout the concert. Presumably, the only thing better, for Yeezus, than performing to 10,000 screaming fans, would be if all 10,000 screaming fans were HIM.
The fan-mask thing didn't happen, of course, though the idea that West's ego might require such a thing certainly seems possible given the star's lyrics and public histrionics.
As it turned out, the only one wearing a mask Friday was West himself. For much of two-plus-hour show, West's face was covered in a whole Mardi Gras' worth of masks.
But they were only a small part of an incomprehensible conceptual story arc for the "Yeezus" tour. West in recent years has been adamant that he's a performance artist as much as he is a rapper.
As such, the Sun main stage was transformed into a Matterhorn mountain peak. An arrow-shaped runway bisected the arena floor and ran almost to the soundboard. There was a bigamist-sized coterie of female supplicants who appeared at various points in the production as druid-babes, hot angels and, dressed in sheer, leave-little-to-the-imagination tights, women-as-living-room furniture. There was an eyes-glowing abominable snowman. There were intricate laser patterns and explosions.
To that point, the music was incredibly loud and distorted and mostly pre-packaged — which had a diluting effect because one of West's greatest talents is as a producer. If he'd had a Roots-style live ensemble, it could have been wonderful. Too, West's voice, Auto-Tuned beyond any reasonable necessity, was distracting in dentist-drill fashion.
Still, he brought a wave of hits. "Black Skinhead," "Blood On the Leaves," "Mercy," "Coldest Winter" (complete with snowfall), "All Falls Down," "Runaway" ...
And, then, two-thirds of the way into the festivities, Jesus Himself emerged from a crack in Mount Kanye, walking perhaps less spryly than we would hope from the Son of God. He met West on the runway and anointed him (is that what happened?) and West removed his mask! Finally, free from, ah, whatever, the energy and clarity of the entire show completely shifted. We could see and hear West. It suddenly became a great concert — or at least a great last-part of a concert.
Racing to the climax, West blistered through song after indelible song to a hall full of mostly younger folks — all of whom were happy to scream along with the lyrics, particularly when, in the role of a Chautauqua tent preacher, West conducted call-and-response exercises.
Too, taking a short break from the music to address the crowd, Kanye tried to convey the power of dreams and believing in oneself. He invoked his own heroes, folks like Steve Jobs and Walt Disney, and warned of haters who would lock you down and keep you boxed up.
In the end, maybe West, who would seem to be the least insecure man on the planet, needs to take this trip every night — masked and ultimately not masked — to remind himself of precisely these things.

With sales of more than $9.5 billion and profits of almost $340 million, you wouldn't exactly think of GameStop as a company on the ropes. But the people who run the leading purveyor of computer and console games in the U.S. have seen the writing on the wall.
Increasingly, gamers download programs rather than buy them in retail stores. That means if GameStop is to have a future, it must build a new one.
And that's exactly what the Grapevine, Texas-based company is doing, according to this story in the San Francisco Chronicle. But CEO J. Paul Raines and his minions are taking GameStop in a very different direction.
Playing off its success in selling refurbished game consoles, GameStop wants to turn itself into a purveyor of used personal electronics. You know GameStop now because it's where you buy the latest "Call of Duty" title. Soon, you'll rely on it for used smartphones and tablets:
Standing in the Refurbishment Operations Center, or "the ROC," a $7 million, 182,000-square-foot facility down the road from Raines' office in Grapevine, Texas, workers unload truckloads of ammunition for the turnaround battle. GameStop last fall began buying up consumers' old iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches, shipping them to the ROC for cleanup and repair, then returning them to stores for resale at a nice markup.
With tablets from Google's Android operating system added to the mix, this year the retailer expects to tally about $200 million in mobile sales, Raines says. "This is a big bet on the future," he says. "This facility gives GameStop a chance to expand into new businesses."
GameStop's console refurbishing business accounts for 46 percent of profit. But there's bigger potential, according to one analyst in the SFChron story, from sales of used iPhones paired with low-cost, prepaid wireless plans. Its customer base is a natural:
Apple products present the biggest opportunity. If GameStop eventually resells 5 percent of the 230 million Apple devices in U.S. consumer hands, it stands to bring in $1 billion in new revenue in the next few years, says analyst Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities.
"Where GameStop can absolutely kill is selling prepaid phone plans with the used iPhones, since a lot of their customers are teenagers with money to spend but no credit to get a regular phone plan," he says.
The Verge has some nice photos shot inside the facility where GameStop refurbishes used devices.
Of course, there are lots of places where you can buy used electronics, including through online powerhouses such as eBay and Amazon.com. But GameStop is counting on the ubiquity of its storefronts – like Radio Shack, it's everywhere – to extend its reach.
However, GameStop also must compete against those businesses that can provide a subsidy for smartphones. AT&T, Verizon and Sprint all sell smartphones at a deep discount – 16-GB iPhone 4Ses typically go for $199 ($149 at Sprint). But on GameStop's refurbished iPhone page, that same phone, without the benefit of a carrier subsidy and a wireless contract, sells for $550. In the intensely competitive smartphone market, GameStop's strategy isn't one that guaranteed success.

Budget talks worry those not in room
Largely shut out of the budget negotiations, Capitol Hill's minority parties are getting increasingly antsy about the emerging agreement.
Senate Republicans and House Democrats are learning the details of a possible deal largely through the media. For Republicans, their unease is caused by news that domestic spending may surpass existing caps, fueled by an increase in fees on government services. House Democrats are growing angry over the increased likelihood that federal workers' benefits are going to be cut and the possible exclusion of unemployment insurance.
Story Continued Below
"At the Democratic caucus meetings this last week in the House, there was in some senior places some great agita about the process and about the reports of the substance coming out of that process like I haven't seen in a long time," Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said. "It had to do with numbers, reported numbers, it had to do with provisions, it had to do with specific policy positions — a whole laundry list of issues."
( Also on POLITICO: Budget talks turn to military pensions)
Despite their worries, there may be little that Senate Republicans and House Democrats can do to stop a budget deal being crafted by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). The House and Senate Budget committee chairmen want to reach a deal before the Dec. 13 deadline, when the House is expected to recess for the year.
In order for a deal to pass, Senate Democrats will need to win over only five Republicans, which aides in both parties predict is a strong possibility. And most House Democrats would likely join Republicans in passing a deal, fearful of being tagged with an obstructionist label often pinned on the GOP.
Due to the nature of one-on-one talks between Ryan and Murray, hundreds of members of Congress have been largely excluded from the information pipeline, including some members of leadership in both parties. Senate Republicans who may staunchly oppose the emerging deal have been loath to criticize the ongoing talks in a show of loyalty to Ryan. They also want to avoid the ugliness of the October shutdown debate, when the GOP was divided hopelessly on strategy for weeks.
"Everybody wants to basically give [Ryan] as much time and space as he can to get to the best deal that he can," said one Republican source, who predicted that "it won't take long for you to see the kind of combat that you've seen here in recent months and years."
( PHOTOS: Paul Ryan through the years)
The fear among Republicans is that there may be another flare of intraparty war if the budget deal trades a spending increase now for savings later, uses fee increases to increase spending rather than for deficit reduction or does not adhere to the $2.1 trillion in savings over 10 years as established by the Budget Control Act.
As angst over the content of the deal grows, the possibility increases that House Democrats or Senate Republicans could mount an attack to stop — or at least slow down — a deal.
The Senate GOP's right flank is worried that cuts to mandatory spending could be punted into future years. It is also wary of reforms that smack of gimmickry and could be difficult to explain to constituents in comparison to the blunt spending reductions enforced by the sequester.
"I'm not a big fan of giving up what are real cuts today with the promise of cuts tomorrow," said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a strong backer of the sequester spending level. "I'm not for trading sequester cuts for mandatory."
Keeping domestic and defense spending at $967 billion for 2014 has long been the top priority of Senate Republicans, who worked feverishly to support the 2011 Budget Control Act that birthed the sequester and the tight spending caps. There are electoral concerns as well: Keeping spending down is a top campaign issue for Republicans hoping to capture the Senate in 2014.
Adhering to the budget caps was the one victory Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his Senate colleagues could point to when the government reopened after a 16-day shutdown in October. Before the Senate left for a two-week recess, McConnell expressed his desire to maintain those spending levels privately to House Republican leaders and told reporters that revisiting the Budget Control Act is a "bad idea."
"I wish the budget conference well. But I do hope that at end of the day we'll support the Budget Control Act. It's the law of the land. It sets out the caps to be achieved," the Republican leader said last month. "We know that it's been highly successful; we've reduced government spending for two years in a row for the first time since after the Korean War. I think it's a bad idea to revisit a law that is actually working and reducing spending for the government."

Eva Longoria has applauded Catherine Zeta-Jones for tackling the stigma of mental illness by going public with her bipolar disorder.
Earlier this week, a spokesperson confirmed the Oscar winner had "proactively" checked into a treatment center "in order to manage her health in an optimum manner," following a 2011 stint in a medical facility to combat a bout of depression.
Now the "Desperate Housewives" star has praised Zeta-Jones for being so honest about her problems.
She tells Anderson Cooper, "I love that she says she's doing it proactively. And I applaud her because she is … putting her health (first) and taking responsibility for her health and really removing the stigma for anybody who has a mental illness. And especially now that mental illness is such a … hot topic. … She says, 'I'm dealing with it head on.'"
The actress also urges fans to respect Zeta-Jones' privacy, adding, "When you live in the public eye, public opinion matters. It matters in my industry. You need to like me in order to go see my movie. … Sometimes we walk that fine line of privacy and being completely open so that you still like me (sic).
"I think (Zeta-Jones is) doing a very good job of it, because if you give people the truth and you say, 'This is what's happening,' then there's less of a bounty for gossip."

UConn president releases statement on conference realignment
UConn president Susan Herbst released a statement regarding conference realignment. No news coming out of the statement as it is merely a plea to the fans to remain optimistic. Here is the statement
Dear UConn Friends and Colleagues:
It is difficult to write to you about athletics or any other conventional university items in light of the Newtown tragedy. We will never understand it; hopefully there will be some healing in the future, although that seems very far off right now. I ask that you consider giving one of the greatest gifts of all to the survivors of Sandy Hook Elementary: the opportunity to attend a top research university like ours. Please make a gift to a young child, so that he or she might have the honor of being a Husky some day.
As you know, conference realignment continues at a rapid pace and UConn has new challenges we must face. I do not know when or how things will settle; no one does. There is more change to come that will reshape the landscape yet again. I assure you that the BIG EAST presidents are both unified and optimistic, working to strengthen the conference in imaginative ways that will see us through to a bright future for our students, coaches, and fans. Commissioner Mike Aresco is an outstanding leader at an extraordinarily complex time, and our university partners represent powerful, high-quality institutions that we are proud to join with in this conference.
I realize that this is aggravating to hear, but as in all things, we can only affect what is in our control. As a result, we strive for excellence at UConn daily across all departments, something very much in our control. We stand tall at UConn and we need not beg, plead, nor despair. That is not who we are, and my reading of our university history -- from 1881 to today -- conveys the pride of every generation, in good times and bad.
There are profound concerns about the future of collegiate athletics of course. I speak often to presidents across the nation, and we are hardly alone in our worries. Even many seemingly "secure" universities are fearful of the changes to come, not only in the realm of realignment, and hope for a long-term stability that seems elusive right now.
We here at UConn have incredibly powerful and compelling teams, decades of accomplishment, joyful traditions at games, and great plans in the works, such as our men's ice hockey team entering Hockey East in 2014, the top conference in the nation, and our new building projects, like the UConn Basketball Development Center.
I know that it is difficult to read much of the internet content right now about athletics, which seems to be dominated by negativity. Many bloggers, journalists, and even fans from elsewhere would like to see UConn hurt, and hence write with a cynical tone. This flip discourse is again, not in our control. The truth is that this is a top national research university with a terrific athletics program that will flourish, no matter what conference we are in and no matter what the media chatter looks like.
I wish you could see my mail and answer my phone, to get a true sense of how dedicated and upbeat our best fans are. Far from being depressed or dragged down by negativity, they are more committed than ever before, and know that it is their very commitment that will determine our future. They know that we will be more than fine, even if there are months and maybe even years of conference uncertainty ahead. We still get to play and we still get to win. Our true fans and supporters so love our coaches and students, and enjoy their tremendous efforts on the field and court. That is what I appreciate, and what all university presidents hope for.
When it comes to athletics, I normally write to you - so often these volatile days! - about student-athletes and our need to focus on them. Again, there is much cynicism around this topic. I cannot speak for other institutions, but here at least, focusing on our students guides what we think and what we do. We care deeply about student academic success, and the pride that we feel about all of our sports is both immense and genuine.
So, Huskies: Let's all hang tough and please keep some perspective, as hard as it is in a time of great change. Win or lose, conference struggles or not, UConn is a research university. So if you are feeling low, just head to our university home page and glory in the amazing new faculty we are hiring at a rapid pace, our incredible student successes across disciplines, scientific awards and invention by our faculty, and all that matters most at your flagship university.
I was hired because I'm an optimist, and I cannot help being just that. I never see the productive value in cynicism and negativity, when there is so much to be proud of. It's a tough world out there, but you can count on me to be the Number One Cheerleader for this superb place I call home. I hope to see you at many games this year - basketball, hockey, and spring sports are not too far off, despite the temperatures out there! Support our beloved university, our outstanding coaches and students, and all really will be well.
I realize that it is difficult to have a truly happy holiday if you are at all close to Newtown or are simply touched by it, as so many are, around the world. But do please have a safe and restful break, and be thankful that we are so tightly bound to each other by this great university community.
Susan Herbst

I congratulate Mayor Bloomberg and Tishman Speyer for making this investment in the future of western Queens
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 17, 2008
New York, NY - October 17, 2008 - Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Robert C. Lieber, Deputy Mayor for Operations Edward Skyler and Rob Speyer today announced the beginning of construction of the first phase of "Gotham Center," a major mixed-use development in the heart of Long Island City, Queens. Two Gotham Center is to be a 662,000-square-foot, 21-story tower on the corner of Queens Plaza and 28th Street in Long Island City. The Class A office tower will be occupied by the City's Health Department and will include about 9,400 square feet of ground-floor retail space and more than 180 parking spaces. The $316 million project will replace the Queens Plaza Municipal Parking Garage. The Health Department will relocate a significant portion of its staff to the new building from many of its 15 locations in Midtown and Lower Manhattan. The project, which will create about 1,400 construction jobs, is the first phase of the proposed 3.5-million-square-foot Gotham Center development.
"For decades, Long Island City has been talked about as an area with growth potential," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Today, both the public and private sectors are making real investments in Long Island City that are transforming it from an area of substantial possibility to one of considerable activity. Gotham Center will be a further catalyst for growth in the area, and Tishman Speyer's investment signals a great vote of confidence in the future of Long Island City and the City as a whole. At the same time, the relocation of Department of Health staff to the state-of-the-art facility will increase its operational efficiencies, consolidating units that are now dispersed. The new space will incorporate our new open space standards for City office space, designed to foster greater collaboration and a better workplace environment."
"Gotham Center and the City's investment in this first-class property are further proof of the ongoing transformation of the neighborhood into a vibrant business district for New York City," said Tishman Speyer President and Co-CEO Rob Speyer. "We thank Mayor Bloomberg and his economic development team, Comptroller Thompson and Queens elected and civic leadership for their dedication to promoting development in Long Island City. We would also like to thank our partner, the Modell family, and our construction lenders -Wells Fargo Bank, HSBC Bank, Norddeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale, Landesbank Hessen Thuringen and Bank of Ireland."
"Tishman Speyer's commitment to build Gotham Center on the site of the decaying Queens Plaza Garage is a testament to what the City has long known, that Long Island City is well poised for continued growth and development into New York City's fourth largest business district," said Deputy Mayor Lieber. "Gotham Center will transform the gateway to Long Island City's commercial core while catalyzing private investments and bringing much needed retail amenities to the area. This critical project required a tremendous amount of work from several agencies including EDC, City Planning, DCAS and OMB, and I congratulate them all on this project."
"The relocation of Department of Health employees to a state-of-the-art facility in Long Island City will help us achieve our goal of creating greater operating efficiency and enhanced work environments for City agencies," said Deputy Mayor Skyler. "Today, Health employees work in 15 different locations spread around Lower and Midtown Manhattan. Gotham Center will provide new space for many of them to be consolidated under one roof."
Locating many of the Health Department's non-field-based staff in this new building in Long Island City is in concert with the City's goal of locating agency headquarters where possible under one roof for operational efficiencies and improved work environment. The five-level garage was first occupied in 1976 and has been vacant since February 2008. Demolition has begun, and construction of the new office tower will start by the end of the year. The relocation of Health Department employees is expected to be complete in late 2011. The precise number of staff to be relocated has not yet been determined.
The Department of Health's new space in Two Gotham Center will use the new open space standards - designed to create a better environment while increasing efficiencies - already employed by several City agencies including the Department of Transportation, the Department of Education, the Mayor's Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting, the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications and the Mayor's Office.
"The New York City Employees' Retirement System and the Teachers' Retirement System are proud to partner with the City of New York and Tishman Speyer on the development of Gotham Center," said New York City Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. "The New York City Pension Funds are dedicated to investing in New York City's infrastructure. Long Island City is one of New York's premier emerging neighborhoods, and Gotham Center will serve as the cornerstone of the redevelopment of Queens Plaza. I am confident that this project will be a success for the neighborhood and the City as a whole, and a prudent investment opportunity for pensioners and beneficiaries."
"I congratulate Mayor Bloomberg and Tishman Speyer for making this investment in the future of western Queens," said Representative Carolyn B. Maloney. "Long Island City's many possibilities are starting to become reality. I look forward to seeing work get underway both at Gotham Center and on renovating Queens Plaza itself. The $19 million in federal funds slated for Queens Plaza will turn this once-blighted area into a welcoming gateway to the borough."
"This long awaited project will bring much needed economic activity in grand new buildings at the gateway to Queens," said Queens Borough President Helen Marshall. "It proves that our efforts to bring jobs and renewal through rezoning works. It will join our other marquee successes in the area including the new Citicorp tower and the United Nations Credit Union. Our thanks to Mayor Bloomberg, Tishman Speyer and the Modell family for making this happen."
"Moving City offices to Queens Plaza is a good idea," said Council Member Eric Gioia. "As the City grows, we must look to neighborhoods outside Midtown or Downtown for offices, and Long Island City - close to mass transit, and in the midst of an economic, residential and cultural renaissance - is where we should be growing. We want development that creates livable neighborhoods where people can live, walk to work, do their grocery shopping, and send their kids to a good school."
"This is a double win for the City," said Economic Development Corporation (EDC) President Seth W. Pinsky. "In addition to jump-starting the redevelopment of Long Island City and realizing Mayor Bloomberg's vision of turning the area into our fourth central business district, this impressive project will also help one of the City's major agencies."
"I am pleased the DCAS Real Estate Services group worked so successfully as key members of the City Administration team on this project," said Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Commissioner Martha K. Hirst, whose agency handles leasing for City agencies. "This development furthers the City's goals of consolidating city agency operations and improving the work environment for our workforce. When Gotham Center opens, several thousand Health Department employees will be working together in brand-new space that is designed to meet their operational needs. The new offices will also incorporate the open-space office design that Mayor Bloomberg has championed in the Mayor's Office, the Department of Education headquarters and elsewhere, which can reduce costs and increase workplace effectiveness."
"New, professional office space for Department staff will help improve the work of the agency in protecting the public's health," said Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas R. Frieden. "We look forward to working with DCAS and EDC to ensure that this project is successful in benefiting the City and the Health Department."
"Only minutes from Midtown, Long Island City is poised to be one of the most dynamic and successful business districts in the City" said City Planning Commissioner Amanda M. Burden. "The new Gotham Center and Long Island City's future and existing corporate tenants will also benefit from the city's strategic investment in re-landscaping Jackson Avenue and creating a new lush, verdant park at Queens Plaza."
Designed by Moed De Armas & Shannon, the dynamic new tower will incorporate green building technology and achieve LEED Silver Certification from the U.S. Green Buildings Council for its interiors, as well as LEED Certification for its core and shell. Other members of the development team include Gensler, architect of record, and Bovis Lend Lease, construction manager. Tishman Speyer was selected to acquire the property and develop the project as a result of a Request for Proposals issued by EDC. The New York City Employees' Retirement System and the Teachers' Retirement System will commit up to $9.3 million each in equity towards the project.
Long Island City is already home to an array of corporate tenants, including Citigroup and the UN Federal Credit Union. In addition, the City is undertaking substantial capital improvements around Queens Plaza and Court Square that will make the area more attractive to businesses and inviting to residents. The $40 million beautification project includes a new public plaza, new plantings, lighting, street furniture and a public median from Queens Plaza to Court Street and a greenway from Queens Plaza to the East River. These improvements, combined with its proximity to Midtown Manhattan and accessibility to seven different subway lines and numerous bus routes, will serve to attract new businesses.

NEW LONDON, N.C. – The No. 13 Florida State men's golf team shot an 8-under 280 to hold onto the lead at the 60th Annual ACC Championship on Saturday. Led today by senior Chase Seiffert, the Seminoles have a two-day total of a 25-under 551, four strokes ahead of No. 10 Duke and five ahead of No. 9 Georgia Tech.
The final round of the tournament begins 11:10 a.m. Sunday. The ACC Digital Network will carry live action from the tournament beginning at 2:30 p.m. until the finish.
"I thought we played pretty well with the exception of the par fives," said head coach Trey Jones. "The par fives are set up to score, the hole locations are less difficult and we played them over par, with the exception of Chase. He played extremely well and picked us up today."
In second place of the individual standings is Seiffert. The Panama City, Fla., native shot a 6-under 66 and did not bogey a hole today. He made six birdies today including a stretch from holes four to seven. With a two-round total of 135, he is two strokes behind Anders Albertson of Georgia Tech.
Sophomore Daniel Berger moved down to a tie for fifth place after making an even par 72 on Saturday. He now has a 137 two-day total and is only four strokes away from the lead.
After starting the morning with straight bogeys, freshman Hank Lebioda bounced back to finish the day with a 1-under 71. Lebioda posted three birdies in four holes on 9, 10 and 12 to help him bounce back. He is tied for ninth with a 5-under 139 two-day total.
Freshman Rowin Caron is tied for 19th after posting a 2-over 74. He was 1-under heading onto the last hole but struggled on 18 to offset his birdies on holes 12, 14 and 15. He has a two-day 1-under 143 total.
Posting a four stroke improvement from yesterday is senior Doug Letson who turned in a 1-under 71 for a two-day 146 score. After starting the day with straight birdies on holes one and two, he finished the day just as strong with a birdie on hole 18.
The Seminoles were part of an 11-team field including No. 9 Georgia Tech, No. 10 Duke, No. 29 Clemson, No. 37 Wake Forest, No. 38 Virginia Tech, No. 42 North Carolina, No. 45 NC State, Virginia, Maryland and Boston College.

In a move that could mean victory for Amazon, next month European Union regulators are expected to accept an offer from Apple that would allow retailers that compete with Apple's iBookstore to sell ebooks at lower prices, ending an antitrust probe into ebook pricing in Europe.
Apple is promising to ease price restrictions on publishers selling books on Amazon.
"It's certainly another win for Amazon. I have not seen the terms of the final settlement, but my initial reaction is that it places restrictions on what publishers can do, slowing them down just when they need to be more nimble," ebook publisher Smashwords founder Mark Coker told Reuters.
In the US, Apple is still fighting the Department of Justice over claims that it colluded with publishers to fix ebook prices, however in Europe Apple agreed to settle the case back in April and offered to overhaul its pricing model for ebooks. A settlement was proposed in September in which Apple promised to terminate so-called agency agreements with publishers. In addition, they will allow retailers to set their own prices on titles for two years.
Price fixing settlement could be "bad news for Europe"
Apple's proposal means ditching the "Most favoured nation" clause from its contracts with publishers. The clause prevented publishers from selling books to other retailers at prices lower than those offered to Apple. The clause was intended to prevent Amazon from striking deals to continue undercutting other retailers.
The European Union antitrust regulators began its investigation of Apple and various publishers back in December 2011. According to the European Commission, the investigation would examine whether the publishers were: "With the help of Apple, engaged in anti-competitive practices affecting the sale of ebooks in the European Economic Area, in breach of EU antitrust rules."
Over in the States, in a similar case, the DOJ is claiming that Apple and a number of book publishers have conspired to fix ebook prices and therefore caused "unmistakable consumer harm". However, rather than accept the charge as it has in Europe, Apple claims that the Department of Justice has sided with a monopoly (Amazon) rather than competition. Apple, along with a handful of publishers, has refused to settle.
Retailers must break even selling ebooks
In the US, some publishers have settled. This settlement required that retailers must at least break even selling all ebooks from a publisher's available list. This could mean that a reseller could sell popular books at a loss as long as they sold other books from a publisher at a higher price.
"It was not clear if EU regulators will include a similar requirement, which would prohibit Amazon from pricing all ebooks at a loss", O'Reilly Media publisher Joe Wikert told Reuters.
Coker told Reuters that such a rule could be dangerous in Europe: "It could allow a single retailer to charge full price in a large market like the UK, and then sell below cost or for free in multiple smaller markets as a strategy to kill regional ebook retailing upstarts before they take root," he said.

Update Pictures: 80 Pounds Gone
I am so proud! If you look to the left of this blog page, you'll see my before pictures at 278 pounds, as well as links to update photos every ten pounds. Things are really changing!
My measurements have changed a lot, too, since my last pictures at 208 pounds. In just the last ten pounds, I have lost:
almost 1/4" off my wrists
1" off each calf
1" off each thigh
1.5" off my bust
1.5" off my waist
1.5" off my hips
and... FINALLY the arms are shrinking! I lost 1.25" off each upper arm! That is the most EVER! So exciting!
Funny thing. When I measure I try to use 'body landmarks' so I am always measuring in the same spot (a freckle, a midway point, the smallest point at my waist, etc). When I measure my hips I always make sure to wrap the tape around the big bulge/roll of hip fat on each side and then go around the biggest point of the lower belly area. Well, this time, I could not find the hip rolls!!! I was all trying to measure, wondering what was wrong because it did not feel the same, when I realized that the hip rolls are GONE! I still have fat there of course but the landmark I was using to measure... the bulge at the hips... has disappeared. So I had to just try and measure the largest area around the hips, including the lower belly. VERY cool.
And to top it off, the size 16 jeans I wore for my last update pictures are loose. So I tried on some smaller jeans... and they fit! Yes, I am wearing size 14 jeans in these pictures! Can you even believe it?? I started out with 26/28W jeans. I am so happy :)
Thank you so much for all your support! This is an amazing journey and I am excited to share it with you all.

Thank you all SO MUCH for the kind words! You totally made my day!
I am just under 5'6 (but I am claiming 5'6! I refuse to be shorter!) When I started this blog I thought I was 5'7... at least I think I was when I was 20ish... but I guess I shortened!
Miss Felicity~
I am not sure about a goal weight. My first goal weight was 168. It seemed pretty impossible and I figured I would never be LESS than that anyway. However, once I reach 168 I will reassess. I am thinking maybe even 148, since I weighed 140ish in my 20's and was NOT skinny but still curvy. We'll see!
As for my smiling face... maybe! ;)

May 3, 2011
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. - On Monday afternoon, senior outside hitter Jeff Menzel was named the Sports Imports/AVCA Men's Division I-II National Player of the Week by avca.org. It was the first time a Gaucho has been given the honor since Theo Brunner in February 2008, Menzel's freshman year.
The award came on the back of one of the best weeks of Menzel's career, as he tallied 51 kills in two playoff matches, including the MPSF Tournament final at USC, where he picked up a season-high 28 kills. The 51 kills represented Jeff's highest two-match output of the season.
In the past ten days, Jeff has twice been named ucsbgauchos.com's "Player of the Week," named MVP of the MPSF Tournament, and now the national player of the week.
"It's great that I got this award, but all I care about is winning this week," said Menzel, "I'd like it a lot more if I was named player of the week next week."
Menzel and the rest of the Gauchos face off against the USC Trojans again on Thursday night at Penn State's Rec Hall in the semifinal match of the NCAA Tournament. Should UCSB win that match, they will play in the final against the winner of the Penn State/Ohio State match.
All potential UCSB matches will be broadcast on ESPN2 and streamed live on espn3.com.
The Gaucho Fund, launched as part of the Dare to Be Great strategic plan, is UCSB Athletics' annual giving program to provide vital funding support for scholarships, academic success and leadership development for Gaucho student-athletes. The Gaucho Fund is the anchor to the Dare to Be Great campaign.

Well now this is downright embarrassing. Hmmmm....excuses? Hmmm....Life, work....distractions and walking down a different creative path. I have been writing still. My heart still longs to spend some time within my research, but with work and otherwise time consuming ventures, I have been neglectful of genealogy.
For my many genealogy friends that might happen to stumble upon my note here...thank you for taking a moment to read my silliness.
Perhaps you might take a moment to view my posts past, and suggest some inspiration to me...to get the genealogy bug flowing thru the veins again.
I am pretty sure I need to travel to the very few remaining relatives that may have something laying around to spark some interest...hail to spring as it is a better time for a scaredy cat to travel.
And please` say hello...and all suggestions are welcome!! REALLY! Love to you all and be good. :)

Life has a way of interfering with our best efforts. Don't I know it!ReplyDelete
Even with the simplicity of life!....but Dawn I appreciate that you are paying attention to even my little bits of nothing here. I need to continue here...spring will get me back to research and I enjoyed writing stories about the Captain...I think this may be an avenue to pursue when I meet up with those frustrating dead ends as I have with my direct Raeburn line. Thanks so much for paying attention!ReplyDelete

text: One of the most common gay fantasies, which I am also guilty of, is a hot sexual ride involving "Triple H" men—handsome and hung hunks. Triple H men are the ultimate sexual triple threat. They are sexually appealing and sexually attractive. They look so delicious with their muscular bodies, the gods must have favored them when they were created. It is as if their bodies were carved by the gods themselves. The gods seemed to have breathed life into their godly cocks. They are so fucking sexy they even seem to sweat sex itself! These hunks are sex gods who walk the earth. Wouldn't it be nice to bump into them on a day such as today so they can fulfill our sexual fantasies? Well, we can thank the gods we have gay hunks porn! They must have sensed our human yearning for these beautiful creatures. In gay hunks porn we can look at pictures of naked hunks teasing us with their otherworldly beauty. Not only can we admire them, we can also jerk off to these pictures and think about every dirty thought we can come up with to satisfy our sexual thirst. If a picture speaks a thousand words, then videos of these handsome and hung hunks fucking and sucking each other would speak millions. In gay hunks porn videos, we can also indulge our ravenous eyes on these heavenly hunks fucking like gods. These hot and steamy videos will surely make you feel hot and give you a boner. Either that or there must be something wrong with you.

Wikiquote:Sourced and Unsourced sections
|This page is a guideline on Wikiquote.
It illustrates standards of conduct, which many editors agree with in principle, but it is not policy.
Feel free to update the page, but please discuss major changes on the talk page first.
|Wikiquote Policies and Guidelines
- In Wikiquote, many articles are divided into "Sourced" and "Unsourced" sections. This was due to a past practice that allowed "Unsourced" sections to remain in main-article space, to then allow them to be researched and sourced. This is no longer current practice.
- "Unsourced" sections should be speedily removed, or moved off the main-article page and onto the talk page. Unsourced quotes in general should also be removed or moved to the talk page.
Moving quotes[edit]
Quotes that are obviously or extremely unlikely to have been made by or about the subject, and which are not commonly cited, can simply be removed. This includes prank edits and outright vandalism.
In all cases of moving or removing a quote, please include an explanation in the edit summary to inform other Wikiquotians why you feel this is appropriate. Example summaries include:
- "sourced quote"
- "moved to Misattributed after finding original quote"
- "removed likely prank edit"
"Attributed" is used to make a distinction for quotes that have reliable publications as sources, but which cannot confirm the quote is accurate. For example, Mark Twain might be credited in reliable publications with the quote "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme", but no Twain scholar has found this quote in any of his writings or correspondence. It might therefore be placed in an "Attributed" section with the source that cites the quote, but including a brief explanation of why it is not formally "sourced". This is a relatively new usage of the "Attributed" heading.

Havelock � After being charged with shoplifting, a Havelock woman was caught trying to sell hundreds of prescription pills to the same narcotics officer who had interviewed her at the police station just hours earlier.
Havelock � After being charged with shoplifting, a Havelock woman was caught trying to sell hundreds of prescription pills to the same narcotics officer who had interviewed her at the police station just hours earlier.
�You can�t make this stuff up,� said Lt. Brian Woods, of the Havelock Police Department. �It blows my mind.�
Sarah Elizabeth Price, 21, of 235 Cedar Ridge Lane in Havelock, is charged with one count of felony sale and delivery of a Schedule IV controlled substance and two counts of possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule IV controlled substance.
Price�s boyfriend, identified as Melvin Charlton, 23, of the same address, was charged with one count of possession with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule IV controlled substance.
The two were arrested Wednesday after laboratory results positively identified 862 tablets found at the couple�s residence as being the substance Alprazolam, commonly sold as the prescription drug Xanex, Woods said.
The couple�s trouble began when Havelock Police responded to Food Lion for a report of a shoplifter at 1:21 p.m. on Nov. 2. Price had been detained by store personnel for allegedly attempting to steal a get well card. At the time she was found in possession of several small blue pills she said were Xanex but she had no prescription for them, Woods said.
Police charged her with misdemeanor larceny at the time, but held back on making charges concerning the drugs pending lab analysis, Woods said.
Because of the quantity and type of pills Price had, officers called in a member of the department�s drug task force to interview the woman on Nov. 2. The undercover officer, who is not being identifying, said that Price claimed the drugs had come from Serbia. The undercover officer told Price he would call her later in the evening to meet and talk about the Serbian connection.
At 10 p.m., the officer called Price on the telephone and she agreed to meet him at her residence. The officer, along with a member of the N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement and a member of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, all wearing plain clothes, drove to Price�s residence in an unmarked car. The ALE and NCIS officers were working with Havelock Police on the drug task force.
�I couldn�t find her house number so I called her on the phone and said �This is detective so and so and I can�t see your house number. Could you step out of your house so I know which house you�re at?�� the officer recalled Friday.
The undercover officer said Price met him on the sidewalk in front of her home at which point she allegedly said �Hey, we got to do this quick because the detective is going to be here any minute. What are you looking for?�
The detective, recognizing Price�s apparent confusion, responded �What do you got?� and she says �The pills. You know. The pills.�
The undercover officer said he sent the ALE and NCIS agents back to the car.
�I turned to them and I said �Get back in the vehicle. Get back in the vehicle. I�m going to buy drugs from her,� the undercover officer recalled. �They think I�m joking, which I�m not.�
Price then reportedly said again �We got to do this quick. The detective is coming� and she goes back into her house to retrieve the pills, the officer said.
The three officers, who had not been planning on making a buy, scrounge together $100 with which to purchase pills from Price.
�While they�re trying to find the money, she comes back out and shows me three pills that were the same pills she showed me earlier that day,� the undercover officer said.
The officer said he had on the same clothes and looked the same as when he had interviewed Price just hours earlier.
�At about 3 o�clock that day I interviewed her in the same clothes I was wearing at 10 o�clock and looking the same way I looked at 10 o�clock, so she shows me the three pills and I said �Can we get more� and she said �Yeah, we�re getting 2,000 on Monday,� so I went �I�ll take a hundred if you got �em,� so she says �Well how much will you pay for �em?� and I said �I�ll give you $100 for them right now.� And she says �OK, but we got to hurry up,�� the detective recalled.
�Obviously this is a humorous situation,� the officer said of the other agents. �They can�t believe this is happening.�
The officer said Price came out of the house and poured 56 one-milligram blue tablets into his hands. He gave her $100 and asked for more pills.
Meanwhile, the ALE and NCIS agents joined the Havelock agent and Price in her front yard, telling her they wanted as many pills as she can spare and saying that they could easily get rid of them in Atlantic Beach.
�They�re carrying badge and gun, but it�s concealed at this particular time,� the Havelock agent said.
Price invited the three men into her home where they meet Price�s boyfriend, Charlton, a sailor assigned to Marine Wing Headquarters Squadron 2 at Cherry Point.
�Sarah says �These guys are going to help us sell the pills in Atlantic Beach.� She then walks over to a vacuum cleaner and unzips the bag and pulls out a pill bottle about the size of a soda can, half full of pills, which totaled about 862 tablets.,� the officer said.
The Havelock officer said at that point they identified themselves as the detectives that were coming to meet Price at her home, but he said she apparently didn�t understand what had just happened.
�OK, we�ve got to hurry up, the other detectives are going to be here any minute,� Price said, according to the undercover officer.
The two were not charged on Nov. 2, pending lab results. The results came back on Wednesday and officers moved in to make the arrests. The NCIS lab did the preliminary tests and they came back positive for Alprazolam, Woods said.
Woods said that the pills did come from Serbia, through Memphis, Tenn., and that they were manufactured by the company Galenika and purchased online.
Price and Charlton were initially taken to the Craven County Jail but have since been released on bond.
Woods said it appeared that Charlton was allegedly behind the scheme.
�He�s very together. He understands the stupidity of what has happened,� Woods said. �The larceny was a get well card to be sent to her brother in jail in Memphis.�
Both Price and Charlton are originally from Memphis, Wood said.
Officers involved said they were astounded at the lack of awareness exhibited by Price, who told officers she had consumed only two Xanex pills and a beer on the date of the drug sale.
�You�ve got some crooks that are dumb as dirt and others that are brilliant,� Woods said.
He said he had been an officer for 20 years but had never seen anything like this.
�I�ve seen some funny things, but this one surely takes the cake,� he said. �Not a lot of brain power for this one.�

Quitting booze helped country star Tim McGraw improve his relationship with his wife Faith Hill.
The singer put down the bottle in 2008 after his excessive drinking started to interfere with his personal life. McGraw's been sober ever since, and he says it's had a profound impact on his marriage to Hill.
He tells People magazine, "I wasn't a beer drinker. I was more a whiskey drinker. And I wouldn't just have a drink. If I was going to drink, I'd have some drinks. People were worried about me. It was to the point where I felt it was negatively affecting my relationships and getting in the way of things I wanted to accomplish in life. So I quit. … I am probably less embarrassing to her now."
The singer now uses the extra time to concentrate on his health by cutting sugar from his diet and training with martial arts expert Roger Yuan for 90-minute sessions, three times a day.
Showing off his eight-pack abs during a photo shoot for the publication, he adds, "My workout program took the place of alcohol, and it's really important. … I was always in pretty good shape but for a while I let it go a little bit. There are aches and pains but I feel pretty young."

The seemingly unrelenting string of positive monthly home sales data finally came to an end last month as buying activity fell short compared to the same time a year earlier.
Single-family home sales fell 7.3 percent in May, the first significant decline in three years, the Houston Association of Realtors reported Wednesday.
The group attributed the decline to this area's lack of housing inventory.
"It was just a matter of time before our depleted supply of inventory caught up with us," Chaille Ralph, the association's chairwoman, said in a statement. "This is Economics 101: Supply and Demand. Until more homes are listed for sale and new housing is built, it's a safe bet that there will be further sales declines and more demand for rental properties."
Month-end pending sales for all property types totaled 4,922, a 3.8 percent decline versus last year, signaling another decline when the June numbers are tallied. The number of available properties at the end of May fell 10.9 percent to 28,712, according to the data, which is based on sales handled through the association's Multiple Listing Service in primarily Harris, Fort Bend and Montgomery counties.
With for-sale homes hard to come by, the single-family rental market continued to flourish in May. Home rentals shot up 20.4 percent compared to a year ago. The average rent for a single-family home increased 4.5 percent to $1,727 per month.
A 10 percent increase in sales of homes that sold for more than $500,000 helped nudge the median sales price higher last month to a record $200,000, a 6.4 percent increase over a year earlier.
The low levels of housing stock have been pushing up prices, as buyers continue to enter into bidding wars and offer more than sellers are asking in order to win a home in today's competitive market. Homes stayed on the market an average of 50 days last month, down from 60 days during the previous month and the lowest number on record.
Months inventory — the amount of time it would take to sell all the homes on the market based on the previous 12 months of sales activity — ticked up to a 2.8-month supply after holding steady at 2.6 months from December through April.
Buyers closed on 7,145 single-family homes last month. It was the market's first major decline since May 2011.
May townhouse and condominium sales rose 4.8 percent from a year earlier. The median price increased 2.7 percent to $143,750, while inventory fell to a 2.6-month supply.
