- Some events from Real Food Challenge group on campus:
- Wednesday April 4thfrom 6:30-8:30 pm in Wolff Auditorium we will be having a screening of a film called Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth (Frauke Sandig and Eric Black, 2011). This documentary film follows the stories of six young native Maya in Guatemala and the Chiapas region in Mexico. Through an examination of their daily and ceremonial life, the film explores the determination and resistance of these communities as they confront the new realities presented by the presence of Monsanto in their native land. The film is approximately 90 minute in length and will be introduced by Dr. Stephanis (Modern Languages), who will provide some of the cultural and historical context. After the film, we will have a short discussion on some of the issues raised in the movie, like GMO's and sustainability. We would love it if you would encourage your students to attend the film screening, and consider providing credit for the event. Light snacks will be provided, so if nothing else that will hopefully help encourage students to come.
- Second, between April 3rd and April 5th our club will be putting on a campaign called Vote Real. Vote Real is an initiative that we at Real Food Gonzaga are launching to provide GU students, faculty and staff with the opportunity to move the Real Food Challenge forward in a way that meets their interests and desires. When you Vote Real, you choose between 3 different food products that you would like to see shifted from current conventional standards to a 'real' product (fair, humane, ecologically-sound, and/or local). This voting period we will be voting between Carrots, Romaine, and Onions. The product that receives the most votes will be shifted on Sodexo's purchasing roster as seasonally available…students will help create the change that they wish to see…and we will be that much closer to meeting our Real Food Challenge goal (20% Real by 2020) and creating a fair, healthy, and environmentally-sustainable food system. Students are welcome to start voting on the 3rd at www.tinyurl.com/guvotereal . We would really appreciate it if you would encourage your students to vote!

- So, if extrusion damages nutrition, what about pasta? Why doesn't it have a high glycemic index like breakfast cereals?
- "In pasta products, gluten forms a viscoelastic network that surrounds the starch granules, which restricts swelling and leaching during boiling. Pasta extrusion is known to result in products where the starch is slowly digested and absorbed (59,60). Available data on spaghetti also suggest that this product group is a comparatively rich source of resistant starch (61). The slow-release features of starch in pasta probably relates to the continuous glutenous phase. This not only restricts swelling, but possibly also results in a more gradual release of the starch substrate for enzymatic digestion. Pasta is now generally acknowledged as a low glycemic index food suitable in the diabetic diet. However, it should be noted that canning of pasta importantly increases the enzymic availability of starch, and hence the glycemic response (62).[39]

After beating Columbia 178-122 in its season opener, largely in part to strong swimming from what is quickly establishing itself as an extremely fast freshmen class, the Yale men's swimming and diving team showed that meet was no fluke, turning in a spectacular first day of competition at Boston University's Terrier Invitational.
The freshmen continued to propel the Bulldogs, grabbing wins in two of the day's three individual events and contributing to a first- and second-place finish in the day's two relays.
Freshmen Robby Harder and Alwin Firmansyah - both of whom had three wins against the Lions last week - were the day's victors in the 500-yard freestyle and 200-yard IM, respectively. With his time of 4:30.22 in the finals, Harder just edged out classmate Josh Ginsborg, who finished third in 4:33.32. Sophomore Mike Dominski took tenth (4:39.39).
Firmansyah (1:52.79) and another freshman, Andrew Heymann (1:53.55), tallied another 1-3 finish combination in the 200-yard IM, a race in which Bulldogs accounted for six of the top twelve spots. Yet another first-year Eli, Mike Lazris, took sixth (1:53.81), junior Jared Lovett finished tenth (1:55.96), and sophomore Danny McDermott was 11th (1:56.02) just touching out a fourth freshman, Dillon Thompson, who took 12th in 1:56.16.
Yale also impressed in the 50 freestyle. Though none of them took home the top spot, four Elis qualified for the top heat, finishing 5-8. Paschall Davis led the way (21.33), followed by junior Pat Killian (21.37), Heymann (22.02) and Firmansyah (23.61).
The day got off to a hot start for Yale, who finished second of eight different schools in the 200-yard freestyle relay. The quartet of Davis, Heymann, Firmansyah and Killian (1:23.13) finished just two-tenths of a second behind winner Boston University, but nearly a full second ahead of third-place finisher Boston College.
That set the tone for a day that followed suit, and culminated with a statement win in the 400-yard IM medley relay, which Harder, freshman Ronald Tsui, senior Goksu Bicer and Heymann won in 3:23.03.
The Bulldogs hope to build on one of their best performances at the Terrier Invitational, one of their hardest meets of the year, when the action continues Saturday in Boston.

|Changing bold to italic
|18:48, 6 March 2013
This change was to bring the page into line with Typographical_Guidelines. It's debatable whether the link should be included in the italics - my opinion is that it should. You may think differently. On the whole we say that we won't use bold or italics in heading or links, but where the link is part of a sentence, as this is, it may be wise to "bend the rules". What do you think?

It was another great tournament and great playoff finish for The Heritage this past weekend. This is one of the most popular events, with fans and players, on the PGA Tour and I think it's safe to say that everyone in golf is hoping that the event will take place next year and for many years thereafter.
The outstanding 64 that Brandt Snedeker put up on Sunday is what many people will remember, but don't forget about his clutch playoff performance after sitting idle for some time while waiting to see how Luke Donald and others finished.
But the one question I know many golf fans will be asking is: Did Luke Donald make the right decision to pull the pin on the shot that ended the tournament.
To recap: On the third playoff hole, the 18th, Luke found the bunker on his approach where the ball actually ended up in the dreaded "fried egg." He hit a pretty good shot out, but the ball had no spin and ran through the green, ending up on the fringe about fifteen feet from the cup.
It was a makeable, straight chip with a good lie. His chip hit the back of the cup and spun away a few feet. Tournament over, Snedeker and his par on the hole, wins.
Immediately, people started to question if the pulling the pin was the right move. On a chip with a little too much heat, wouldn't the pin have helped?
To me, this is an easy one. Luke Donald absolutely made the right call in pulling the pin. I've always contended that the pin does not help a good shot. In general, the pin takes up valuable real estate (the hole) and getting it out of the way is beneficial to your hopes of holing the shot.
The caveat here is when you are facing a downhill chip, a tough lie and/or some combination of both. In other words, if you could use the help to keep a ball from running far away, by all means keep the flag in. But in this instance, it was do or die. Donald had to MAKE the chip. His decision was correct. His execution was almost perfect. In this instance, almost wasn't good enough to extend the playoff.

I guess that depends on one's basic idea of what it means to be religious or have an interest in a religion.manas wrote:On the other hand, we shouldn't blindly accept what is in the suttas, over reason and modern science, in some instances; take this one for example:
Some people seem to think that to join a religion (or even just having an interest in it) is much like marrying someone one barely knows and then feeling obligated to respect that person and agree with them no matter what he or she says and does. Hence the idea of "blindly accepting."
What I had in mind with
was things like deliberate meat-eating, as can be found among some Buddhists who claim that since modern science and doctors agree that humans have the digestive system of a being that can eat and digest meat and that humans need animal-based protein from meat, one ought to eat meat, regardless of what one's (nominal) religion may say.5. Compliance with modern Western science and culture, even at the expense of canonical references.
Or the loosening of standards around what constitutes illicit sex, stealing, and lying.

Chris Cornell (born Christopher John Boyle; July 20, 1964 – May 18, 2017) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He was best known as the lead vocalist for the rock bands Soundgarden and Audioslave. Cornell was also known for his numerous solo works and soundtrack contributions since 1991, and as the founder and frontman for Temple of the Dog, the one-off tribute band dedicated to his late friend Andrew Wood.
Cornell is considered one of the chief architects of the 1990s grunge movement, and is well known for his extensive catalog as a songwriter, his nearly four-octave vocal range,[3] and his powerful vocal belting technique. He released four solo studio albums, Euphoria Morning (1999), Carry On (2007), Scream (2009), Higher Truth (2015), and the live album Songbook (2011). Cornell received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his song "The Keeper", which appeared in the 2011 film Machine Gun Preacher, and co-wrote and performed the theme song to the James Bond film Casino Royale (2006), "You Know My Name". His last solo release was the charity single "The Promise", written for the ending credits for the film of the same name. He was voted "Rock's Greatest Singer" by readers of Guitar World,[4] ranked 4th in the list of "Heavy Metal's All-Time Top 100 Vocalists" by Hit Parader,[5] 9th in the list of "Best Lead Singers of All Time" by Rolling Stone,[6] and 12th in MTV's "22 Greatest Voices in Music".[7]
Across his entire catalog, Cornell has sold 14.8 million albums, 8.8 million digital songs, and 300 million on-demand audio streams in the U.S. alone,[8][9] as well as over 30 million records worldwide.[10][11][12] He was nominated for 15 Grammy Awards and won twice.[13][14]
Cornell suffered from depression and substance abuse problems earlier in his life. He was found dead in his Detroit hotel room early on the morning of May 18, 2017, after performing at a Soundgarden concert hours earlier. His death was ruled a suicide.[8]

When Apple sneezes, American mutual fund investors seem likely to catch a cold—not to mention Spanish flu and maybe the Ebola virus. As MarketWatch's Ian Salisbury and Tom Bemis wrote Thursday, Apple – the nation's largest company by market capitalization – is one of the most widely owned stocks in the mutual-fund world. So if you own any U.S. equity funds in your retirement portfolio, chances are that Apple's 12% slide on Thursday took a piece out of your nest egg.
Apple's plunge made me wonder about target-date funds – the "funds of funds" designed for investors who don't want to deal with rebalancing their retirement-plan investments over time. These funds now hold more than $460 billion in assets, according to MarketWatch's Jonnelle Marte. They're also supposed to shield older investors from the impact of, say, stocks that plunge 12% in one day, by rotating assets into bonds and cash as their shareholders approach retirement age.
As a very quick thought experiment, I looked at two huge target funds that have 2025 retirement dates – meaning they're intended for investors who are in their early to mid-50s today. Vanguard Target Retirement 2025 (VTTVX) has assets of $21.3 billion, according to Morningstar. Fidelity Freedom 2025 (FFTWX) has just over $8 billion; both are staples of 401(k) plans, and each have roughly the same exposure to U.S. stocks (49.4% for Vanguard, 48.7% for Fidelity as of the end of 2012). But neither makes it easy for investors to figure out the specific stocks they own: Instead, investors can learn which funds are held under the target-date fund's umbrella, and then look at those funds' stat sheets to see what companies they own.
So how much Apple was there in each barrel? Doing the math at Vanguard was relatively easy. Retirement 2025's portfolio is made up of three Vanguard index funds, and it gets almost all its U.S. stock exposure from just one fund, Vanguard Total Stock Market (VTSMX). That fund, in turn, essentially tracks the U.S. total market. Since Apple is the largest U.S. stock, it's also the largest holding, making up 3.2% of Total Stock's portfolio. Total Stock makes up just under half of Retirement 2025's portfolio. So the fund's Apple exposure comes to roughly 1.6%.
When I turned to Fidelity, the picture got much muddier. As of the end of 2012, Freedom 2025 shareholders were invested in a total of 16 domestic equity funds – and a whopping 27 funds total. Those U.S. stock funds had no shortage of Apple--and plenty of overlap. Four of them – three actively-managed funds and one index fund – had Apple as their top holding, investing between 5% and 9% of their portfolios in the iBehemoth. A fifth had Apple in its Top 10. Together, those funds' holdings made up about 1.4% of Freedom 2025, but I'm guessing there's more in there: there were at least three funds whose holdings Fidelity isn't making publicly available on its website.
Both funds' Apple exposure seems totally appropriate to me; investors in their 50s should definitely be looking to stocks for growth. But the exercise did remind me of the huge structural differences among target-date funds. The overlapping holdings of the funds in Fidelity's fund are the kind of thing that advisers typically encourage individual investors to avoid if they can, since it's often inefficient – you're paying multiple sets of fees to own the same asset. And that overlap seems big enough to be felt in an investor's bottom line: with fees of $69 per year $10,000 invested, Freedom 2025 is cheaper than the average for its fund category, but it's quite a bit more expensive than the simpler Vanguard fund, which charges just $18 per $10,000.

"I set up the corn this morning. Got it done about 11 0'clock and husked rest of the day. Very pleasant day."
Snodgrass before a game of the 1911 World Series
"I set up the corn this morning. Got it done about 11 0'clock and husked rest of the day. Very pleasant day."
Snodgrass in 1916
In October 16, 1912, New York Giants outfielder Fred Snodgrass drops an easy pop-up in the 10th inning of the tiebreaking eighth game of the World Series against the Red Sox. His error led to a two-run Boston rally and cost the Giants the championship.
Snodgrass, who had been a catcher for the Hoegee Flags, joined the New York Giants in 1908. He spent most of the next two years on the bench, but in 1910, when the team's manager suggested that he try playing a different position, the third-string catcher became a full-time outfielder. He was a good batter and a reliable fielder on an impressive team—Rube Marquard, Christy Mathewson and Jeff Tesreau owned the pitcher's mound, and Fred Merkle, Chief Meyers and Larry Doyle all hit over .300. By the end of the 1912 season, the Giants were way ahead of every team in their league, and the Boston Red Sox, the AL champs, were almost as good. The World Series promised to be an exciting one.
In the first game at the Polo Grounds on October 8, the Red Sox beat the Giants 4-2. The second, at Fenway Park, was tied 6-6 when umpire Silk O'Laughlin called it in the eleventh because it had grown too dark to see the ball. The Giants won the third; the Sox won the fourth and the fifth; the Giants won the sixth and the seventh. The tied Series would go to an eighth game.
And so it happened that Fred Snodgrass was standing in center field on October 16. After nine innings of the eighth game, the score was tied 1-1. At the top of the 10th, the Giants pulled ahead by 1. At the bottom of the 10th, Red Sox pinch hitter Clyde Engle came to the plate and whacked a lazy fly ball to right-center field. It drifted easily toward Snodgrass' glove. He caught the ball; then he dropped the ball. Engle scrambled to second. In the very next play, Snodgrass made a spectacular catch, but it didn't matter—the damage was done. Mathewson walked the following batter, and then a single tied the game and put the winning run on third. Then Tris Speaker hit a single—after Merkle and Meyers both failed to catch an easy foul ball that Speaker wafted right at them, it should be noted—and the game was over. The Red Sox had won. To reporter after reporter, over and over, Snodgrass explained: "I just dropped the darn thing."
The error—dubbed "the $30,000 muff" because that's how much money the Giants stood to win from a Series championship—stuck with Snodgrass for his whole life. After he retired from baseball, the hapless outfielder moved to California and became a banker. He bought a ranch. The citizens of Oxnard elected him mayor. But still, when he died in 1974—62 years after that fateful World Series game—the New York Times headline blared: "Fred Snodgrass, 86, Dead; Ball Player Muffed 1912 Fly."

The New York Giants just want him under contract, but Victor Cruz is pondering fame and fortune beyond the football field.
The Giants wide receiver told the New York Daily News on Monday that he's in talks to star in his own reality TV show.
"It is going to be something that is very unique to me and very unique to what I like, and like to do," Cruz said. "We are still fielding some requests, so we will see how it goes -- the timing has to be right, and I have got to squeeze in some training in there before the season starts."
Cruz vowed the project would not steer his personal life into a Kris Humphries-level train wreck. Minxstress Kim Kardashian isn't on the show's invite list, with Cruz planning to illuminate his daily life (which, at some stage, will involve the Giants again).
"I definitely want it to be my show," Cruz said. "My own thing, something that I can contribute to and something I like to do, I can be comfortable with, and an easy show, something people like to watch and that people can be in tune with on a daily basis."
For Giants fans starting to break a sweat, Cruz spent at least a handful of seconds discussing the team's very own reality series -- the 2013 season -- and what he'd like to see the Giants accomplish.
"We understand the Super Bowl is in New York City, and that is motivation for us," Cruz said. "We have got to be ready to go."
Signing his contract would be a start.
UPDATE: Cruz took to Twitter to dispute a report and deny plans about a reality TV show centered around him.
This is truly God testing me for something much bigger. Never EVER doing a reality show. Nor am I in talks for one. #NYmediaboredomâ Victor Cruz (@TeamVic) June 3, 2013

|Here At novatecdirect.com you can get your Dell XPS gen 2 bios and hard drive password to unlock all dell
Laptop notebook & netbook. click on the pictures thumbnail on the left for most common problems.
|Buy your Laptop's bios password using the PayPal Form
on the right =>
Our passwords are always Bios pro's most recommended
password and it never fail,
you will receive an email with your laptop's laptop password
within 5 minutes or the most 2 business hours, N.Y Timezone.
|How to Set Passwords on a Laptop
If the security of your laptop is important to you there are two levels of protection obtainable by setting passwords on
your hp laptop. One level of password security will protect your documents from intrusion, while the second level will
protect your entire laptop from intruders. But since any password security plan is only as strong as the words
themselves, make sure you don't choose passwords that are based on real-life data that could be uncovered with
good sleuthing, like your birth date, or words that could be easily "guessed" by people who know you.
1 At boot up press F1 or F2 and enter the BIOS program.
2 Navigate to "Security". Set a difficult-to-guess but memorable password to lock the laptop completely. Record this
password somewhere secure, separate from your laptop case.
3 Click "Save and Exit" and reboot the computer. When the computer reboots you'll be asked to enter the BIOS
password before Windows will load to your desktop. There is no way the average person can defeat this BIOS
password, not even by using the well-known "Safe Mode Workaround" available in Windows XP.
4 Click on "Start" and then "Control Panel".
5 Click on the "User Accounts" icon. Enter your preferred User Name (or nickname) and enter a suitable password.
Most people make the mistake of using the same password universally; frustrate intruders by entering a password that
is different from the password you entered for the BIOS.
6 Set the administrative clearance for this account. Since you are the owner of the laptop, give yourself full
"Administrative" powers by checking that box. You, as the administrator, can also limit the powers and access of others
who may use or "visit" your hp laptop: click the "Limited Account" setting to restrict the access of other users. Click
"Save" and exit Control Panel.
7 Click "Start" and then "Restart" to reboot your laptop properly and "set" these changes. When your hp reboots you
will have to enter the BIOS password to load Windows.
8 Enter your personal account password next to open your personal Windows User Account and start using your laptop.
9 all done

STOCKTON — Recent Linden High graduate Savanna Peters discovered her love for lacrosse in an unusual way.
STOCKTON — Recent Linden High graduate Savanna Peters discovered her love for lacrosse in an unusual way.
"I saw it on 'Mean Girls,' and I said, 'Oh, mom, I want to play,' " Peters said.
Peters, one of five finalists for this year's Charles Washington Award, started playing lacrosse for a club team in Stockton after her mother found a flyer in a coffee shop. Four years later, she's on her way to college on a lacrosse scholarship after picking Oregon over USC.
"It feels good to know people are interested in you," Peters said. "When Oregon gave me the scholarship offer, it definitely felt like all my hard work had paid off."
Peters is no stranger to hard work.
She played one year of soccer, four years of lacrosse and four years of basketball at Linden, all while maintaining a 4.2 grade-point average, serving on the student council and performing community service.
"In today's society, it is very difficult to play sports at a high level and at the same time focus on your schoolwork and education, as well as be an outstanding leader on campus and throughout the community," former Linden girls basketball coach Jason Hitt said. "Savanna was able to do just that."
Peters played for a number of highly competitive club lacrosse teams based in the Bay Area, including the Danville Triple Threat and the BearLax Lacrosse Club, which is led by former Cal coach Theresa Sherry. Peters missed many school days while traveling with her club teams and visiting colleges, but she always kept up with her studies.
"I was lucky because Linden, being a smaller school, I think it was easier to have a relationship with the teachers, and I was able to show that, even though I was gone a lot, I really liked learning and wanted to get good grades," Peters said. "I always made sure my grades were still good and then focused on my sports."
Peters also focused on community service as a volunteer youth soccer coach and as a stage manager for the Delta College theatre. Her accomplishments academically earned her a Distinguished Student Award from the San Joaquin County Office of Education and The Record's 2012 Pinnacle Award.

December 18, 2013
June 08, 2014
Honolulu Museum of Art
Exhibition Overview
Decisive Moments is drawn from the extensive, rich collection of 20th-century and contemporary photographs assembled over 40 years by Jim and Cherye Pierce.
French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson wrote in the preface to his 1952 book Images à la Sauvette (published as Decisive Moments in the U.S.), "To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression." His well-known "decisive moment" image Behind the Gare St. Lazare, of a man in mid-step over a puddle, opens this exhibition. His capturing that precise moment imbues the image with its visual power and magic.
This exhibition of 80 images from the Pierce collection examines the idea of the decisive moment as it has evolved in photographic practice from the early 20th century to the present—from Cartier-Bresson's well-timed click of the camera shutter to Sandy Skoglund's Fresh Hybrid, in which she created an elaborate scene of found materials and real and fake models. Over the last century photographers have had a much more deliberate, manipulative approach, conceptualizing and constructing their own decisive moments, controlling the visual, psychological, and emotional impact of their images through darkroom techniques, the staging of images, the use of new technologies such as computer digital imaging, and the incorporation of non-photographic media and materials.
The exhibition examines these strategies through the works of:
Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Jamie Baldridge, Herbert Bayer, Bill Brandt, Brassaï, Dan Burkholder, Harry Callahan, Henri Cartier-Bresson, William Clift, Binh Danh, Dawn DeDeaux, Robert Doisneau, Andrew and Stuart Douglas, John Patrick Dugdale, William Eggleston, Lalla Essaydi, Dan Estabrook, Joan Fontcuberta, Michael Garlington, Luis Gonzalez Palma, Todd Hido, Kenro Izu, Lotte Jacobi, Bill Jacobson, Krista Jurisich, Yousuf Karsh, Thomas Kellner, André Kertesz, Hyeyoung Kim, Soo Kim, Heinrich Kuhn, Mona Kuhn, Louvière+Vanessa, Deborah Luster, Vera Lutter, Clarence John Laughlin, Danny Lyon, Michal Macku, Robert Mapplethorpe, Maria Martinez-Cañas, Duane Michals, Joseph Mills, Wendell MacRae, Don McCullin, Arno Raffael Minkinnen, Lisette Model, Sarah Moon, Daido Moriyama, Todd Murphy, Jim Naughten, Irving Penn, Doug Prince, Holly Roberts, Meridel Rubenstein, Josephine Sacabo, Aaron Siskind, Sandy Skoglund, Jack Spencer, Doug and Mike Starn, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Dan Tague, Maggie Taylor, Jerry Uelsmann, Theodore Fonville Winans, Michael Wolf.

Only one game separates Hope College from playing on its home court next weekend at the NCAA Division III women's basketball Final Four at DeVos Fieldhouse.
On Friday night, the Flying Dutch rode a strong second half effort to
defeat host Thomas More College, 67-51, in the NCAA sectional at the
Connor Convocation Center.
Hope (28-1) , which advanced to the sectional final for the second
straight year and the fourth time in seven years, will meet unbeaten
George Fox, Ore. (29-0) with a trip to the Final Four on the line at 7
p.m. Saturday night. The Bruins, who Hope defeated in last year's
sectional round, advanced with a 71-56 victory Friday over Oglethrope
(Ga.) University, which had played in the Final Four at DeVos last
Trailing 29-26 early in the second half, the Flying Dutch went on a
19-4 run, highlighted by eight points by sophomore forward Erika
Bruinsma, to build a 45-33 lead with 12 minutes to play.
"The bench saved our bacon when our starters couldn't score in the first half," observed
coach Brian Morehouse. "Luckily, when we were missing shots we
continued to play good defense."
The Saints, who won the Presidents Athletic Conference championship,
stormed back to cut the lead to 48-44 on Jayme Thiem's 3-pointer with
9:11 remaining.
But then Hope guard Jenny Cowen took over. The junior from Dexter
scored 13 of the Flying Dutch's final 17 points, including
back-to-back 3-pointers, as they pulled away down the stretch.
"Our shot selection was excellent down the stretch," said Morehouse.
"And it's a good thing because Thomas More was as good as any team in
defending us this season."
Cowen led three Hope players in double figures with 18 points.
Sophomore Carrie Snikkers had a double-double with 11 points and 14
rebounds, and Bruinsma added 11 off the Flying Dutch bench.
"This is where we have wanted to be all season, playing for a chance
to get to our home court in the final four," said Cowen.
Nicole Dickman led Thomas More (28-3) with 15 points.
Hope shot 37 percent from the field (24-of-65), including 6-of-12 on
3-pointers, while limiting the Saints to 29.6 percent shooting from
the floor (16 of 54). The Flying Dutch committed just seven turnovers
while forcing 17 Thomas More miscues.
Thomas More dominated the boards in the early going, but the Flying
Dutch hung in there against the Saints. Thomas More built a 16-11
midway through the first half, but with most of its starters on the
bench, Hope responded with a 10-2 run, capped off by a Rachael Kutney
basket that gave the Flying Dutch a 21-18 lead late in the half. Hope
led 26-25 at halftime.

Dir/scr: Jon Lucas, Scott Moore. US. 2013. 93mins
The two writers of The Hangover make their debuts as writer-directors on 21 & Over, a Hangover-in-college romp that's genial enough but distinctly short on really funny comic moments. Students and twentysomethings may - in the US at least - give the R-rated Relativity/Virgin production a start at the box office, but the film's chances of graduating to a mainstream audience look slim.
There are some mildly raunchy moments but nothing to really get audiences talking.
A wide March 1 domestic launch through Relativity will draw US students at the start of their notoriously rowdy 'spring break' holiday period (though this won't be the only release pitching for that audience). College and youth comedies sometimes struggle internationally and this one may be especially hampered by its lack of star power and focus on the rituals of American college life.
The story brings together three former high school best friends who have been off at different colleges: party boy Miller (Project X's Miles Teller) and buttoned down Casey (Skylar Astin, from Pitch Perfect) pay a surprise visit to studious Jeff (Justin Chon, from the Twilight series) on his twenty-first birthday (21 being the legal drinking age in the US).
Though Jeff has a hugely important - to his strict father at least - interview in the morning, the three go out for a drink that turns into a wild night on campus. Over the course of the night, Miller and Casey work out their friendship, Casey starts what might be a life-changing relationship and the stressed-out Jeff learns to stand up to his dad.
As written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (who followed the first Hangover with their script for The Change-Up) the drama is pretty predictable and the comedy not terribly funny. There are some mildly raunchy moments involving slow motion vomiting, drinking games and (male and female) bum spanking, but nothing to really get audiences talking.

A 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl who underwent a double-lung transplant amid a national debate over the organ allocation process has undergone a second transplant after the first failed and is now taking some breaths on her own, the girl's parents said Friday.
Sarah Murnaghan's mother said the first set of lungs failed within hours after the June 12 transplant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Sarah was placed on machines. She was placed back on the lung transplant list the night after her surgery and received a second set of lungs on June 15.
"We were told … that she was going to die," the suburban Philadelphia girl's mother, Janet Murnaghan, said at a news conference Friday afternoon in explaining why Sarah's second transplant was not publicly disclosed. "We weren't prepared to live out her dying in public."
Sarah initially received lungs from an adult donor after her parents sued over national rules that place children behind adolescents and adults on the list for adult lungs.
Janet Murnaghan said Sarah's condition began to "spiral out of control" shortly after the first surgery. A second set of lungs was found and were transplanted though they were infected with pneumonia, making the surgery extra risky.
Sarah's mother said the second transplant was a success and the girl was able to take a few breaths on her own. She was placed back on a ventilator due to partial paralysis of her diaphragm, a complication of surgery that is not allowing her lungs to expand, her mother said.
She said Sarah is slated for surgery on Monday in an effort to repair her diaphragm.
"Her doctors continue to wean her from her ventilator; her last two chest tubes were removed today and we are taking steps to prepare her for extubation again," Janet Murnaghan said. "We're not out of the woods, but Sarah's health is trending in the right direction."
The second set of lungs came from a donor 12 or older.
The failure of the first transplant is not uncommon. A 2005 University of Pennsylvania study found nearly 12 percent of lung transplants experienced what's called primary graft failure, where the organ almost immediately begins to fail.
But the timing — she received a second set of lungs just three days after her first — was narrow.
Of 5,081 lung transplants performed between 2010 and 2012, there were only seven retransplants within a week of the initial operation, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing, the private nonprofit group contracted by the government to manage the transplant list.
"I think this very clearly illustrates that the decision needs to be scientific and medical, rather than judicial," said Lawrence O. Gostin, a prominent health law professor at Georgetown University, who questioned the legal basis of the rulings. "UNOS was under pressure from the publicity surrounding this case and the court's decision. It is highly unusual to get two transplants within days."
According to UNOS, a graft failure does not automatically propel someone to the top of a waiting list, but it does affect your score. Sarah was regarded as an adult, given a score and that score would need to have been at the top of the list for her specific tissue and blood type to be eligible for the next set of lungs.
UNOS did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Currently 1,663 people in the U.S. are seeking a lung transplant. Twelve are between the ages of 6 and 10.

I'll start with a shout-out to Barry for providing me blog access!
Hello, world.
My name is Mark and to describe what I do in inscrutably technical terms, I take photographs. Most of the time, I'll go out into the real world to photograph skies or trees or ruined buildings. Some of the time I'll sit on a couch and (ostensibly) visually archive the activities of other 091 Labs members.
And during a wee small part of that time I'll hop into virtual worlds to photograph skies or trees or ruined buildings.
The virtual world in question is that of Azeroth, from the hugely-successful 2004 video game World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game, a continuous online world where you are interacting with thousands of people simultaneously. You may form parties to raid dungeons, slay dragons and battle the opposing faction, or you can set out alone by yourself to simply quest and experience the world. I get out of bed an hour before the virtual dawn to set up my virtual tripod so I can capture that perfect ray of (it's okay to groan) virtual light.
I began this small project, which I call Vistas of Azeroth, back in 2006 on a whim. Can I? Let's see!
After chipping away, on and off, at different scenes from the video game at a low-quality for a few years, I've very recently gained the ability to "photograph" scenes at an incredibly high quality. I can now go to more new places than I've been able to in the last four years and on every single graphic bell and whistle with the help of other Labs' members.
We built a graphical workstation.
Late last week, I spent an hour bemoaning my desire for a more powerful workstation while I struggled with a laptop that wanted to do nothing more than roll over and die. Matthew suggested that we could build a graphics, video and gaming workstation for the Labs. He donated a motherboard, RAM and a CPU. I donated software and a graphics card gifted by one Jennifer Tidmore of Dallas, Texas, USA – yes, we're international!
In a hard-work montage straight out of an 80's film, complete with upbeat soundtrack, we constructed, installed and tested. It is a fantastic piece of equipment for the Labs to have on hand because now have capabilities for:
- Still image editing. I've transferred my imaging workflow from my laptop, although the screen real estate and underlying performance have jumped hugely. I'm down from (up to) six hours of building a scene, down to frequently under an hour.
- Video and audio editing. I believe I saw somebody stream editing a video under Windows? I can build a time-lapse screencast in h.264 format and append an MP3 soundtrack in less than five minutes. Down from 20 or 30.
- 3D video game creation. Matthew and others have been very happily cracking away at the Unreal developers SDK.
- Video games. Don't share this with anyody, but not all of my World of Warcraft playtime have been to capture scenes. And Matthew runs Portal when nobody is looking.Don't ask, don't tell.

Lots made of driverless cars lately.
Completely insane?
That's the theory posited by one recent post from the Nine Shift blog. (To be totally fair, this author is CLEARLY not a fan of the driverless car, by any means.)
The blog offers some of the standard arguments that Google's theories that driverless cars will lead to zero road deaths are a hunk of, um, malarky. (And, let's face it, that's what they are.)
But the post goes even further: "Only the Americans could be so stupid as to propose driverless cars. All part of Google's ongoing attempt to destroy its own motto, 'Don't be evil.'"
'Google Driverless Car' Icon Trademark
All driverless car nuts, make sure to check out this recent post from patentbolt.com, that talks through how Google has filed to get the trademark on their "Google Driverless Car" icon.
Which one did they choose?
Well, their selection was the one that's a little bit more … creepy.
The choice is a weird yellow car with two eyes on the front, that's slightly tilted like it's damaged or there's something wrong with it.
What's going on … ?
The search giant went for their trademark under International Class 12, which covers "electronic system that allows autonomous driving of vehicles."
Has anyone here seen I, Robot?
Yeah … let's all get ready for this …

My wonderful book group just finished The Art of Fielding, by Chad Harbach, which we all enjoyed--much to the surprise of those who thought the novel was actually going to be about baseball. Unfortunately, at our meeting we did not pick a book to read next. If we don't pick right away, it tends to stymie us, and we send several hundred emails back and forth debating the potential pros and cons of many options. I think we have finally settled on Swamplandia, by Karen Russell. I hope so, as it's looking like an interesting novel.
I ran across this article about the 100 Best First Lines of Novels. There is nothing better than a clever or memorable first line in a novel, and this collection was fun to look through.
Number 2 on the list is probably my favorite: It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (1813).
Five and six are favorites as well:
5. Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. - Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita (1955)
6. Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. - Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina (1877; trans. Constance Garnett)There are many other first lines I love on the list, as well as a bunch I didn't remember, or had never even heard of. Tell me some of your favorite first lines! Do you know any by heart?


text: THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION 01/13/2014 In the United States, 68 percent of adults age 20 and older are overweight or obese, while 31.7% of the nation's children and adolescents ages two to 19 are overweight or obese. Obesity contributes to five of the 10 leading causes of death in America, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, many cancers and stroke. Between 1987 and 2010, the number of Americans diagnosed with diabetes nearly tripled to 20.9 million. As part of its effort to help combat the obesity epidemic in our community, Bozeman Deaconess Health Services is hosting a screening of the HBO documentary, THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION. Three years in the making, THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION examines the facts and myths of this urgent public health issue, showing how obesity affects the health of the nation and the health care system. The film features case studies and interviews with leading experts, individuals and families struggling with obesity. The series also highlights how individuals, worksites, and communities are making positive changes. Dietitians from Bozeman Deaconess Nutrition Specialists will be presenting two parts of "The Weight of The Nation" campaign this month. • Part 1, "Consequences," examines the scope of the obesity epidemic and explores the serious health consequences of being overweight or obese and will be shown on Monday, January 13. • Part 2, "Choices," offers viewers the skinny on fat, revealing what science has shown about how to lose weight, maintain weight loss and prevent weight gain and will be screened on Monday, January 27. Both films will begin at 6:00 pm in the Bitterroot Room of Bozeman Deaconess Conference Center. THE WEIGHT OF THE NATION is a presentation of HBO and the Institute of Medicine, in association with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, and in partnership with the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation and Kaiser Permanente. These film showings are free and open to the public. For more information, call 406-414-1644. Categories: Bozeman Health Medical Group

Itty-Bitty Playing Card Houses
All the playing cards are printed on both sides, individually cut out and assembled. Both houses are constructed just like life-size card houses (except for the glue, which would be cheating in real life, of course).
The first house is a "double-decker," made of over 75 individual tiny playing cards - I lost count of those making up the interior structure, so I'm not sure how many there are exactly. It measures just over 1" tall (28mm), and comes with the remaining stack and a couple extra cards to lay out (they are permanently glued together).
The second house is 1" tall (26mm) and made of 26 tiny playing cards. It also comes with the remaining deck and extra cards (also glued together).
Both houses are available in the Toys & Games section of my website. And don't forget, there is free shipping for all purchases until Monday the 25th!

On March 29, I wrote about a case for the new iPad from MiniSuit. While I was impressed with its looks, protection and features, there was just one problem – it wasn't actually the case I'd ordered.
What I wanted was the MiniSuit Microfiber Leather Multi-Angle Slim Jacket Case Cover. What I got instead was Black Leather Case Accessory Cover Stand For Apple iPad 2, which also happened to fit the new iPad. (Memo to MiniSuit: Your case designs are great. The names of your cases, however, are awful.) I'd ordered the newer case from Amazon.com, but apparently it wasn't actually ready to ship yet, and MiniSuit dispatched the wrong one.
The correct case arrived Friday, and I used it all weekend. Now that I've got what I really ordered, I'm very happy. I've been working on a case roundup that will run in my print column on Tuesday, and this remains the best of the bunch.
As I indicated in the previous review, I wanted something that would provide the magnetic sleep/wake feature of Apple's Smart Cover, but I also wanted something that would protect the back of the new iPad. The ideal case would not add much to the weight and thinness of the tablet, and this new MiniSuit product fits the bill.
The previous case had a solid back and uses the tri-fold feature of the cover to stand the tablet upright, similar to the Smart Cover. The new MiniSuit case instead has a jointed back, the bottom half of which splits to let you prop the iPad at multiple viewing angles using the grooves in the tri-fold cover.
The cover folds into a triangle to provide a good angle for typing.
There are two downsides to this case, but one of them actually has a benefit.
Unlike the older MiniSuit case and Apple's Smart Cover, the tablet won't stand upright using the pyramid configuration of the cover. In addition, the cover doesn't lay flat against the back of the case – the cover sticks out slightly at one of the tri-fold joints. But this gives you one more typing angle, and actually makes the tablet a little easier to hold.
The materials appear to be high quality. The cover and part of the back is made of leather, and the interior has a microfiber padding. The plastic back is sturdy and fits snugly.
As I wrote about the older case, this is an excellent bargain – but not as good a deal as when I first ordered. It had been selling for $20 on Amazon, but the price has gone up to $23. Still, compare that to the cost of a leather Apple Smart cover ($69) and a third-party add-on to protect the back ($24-$30).
And I can certainly vouch for the customer service from MiniSuit. When I realized I had the wrong case, I contacted the company by email and heard back promptly. They kept me apprised of the situation and shipped the newer case as soon as it was in stock.

Question About Dying From This
My father has emphysema. He was given six months by his doctor and has been sent home with hospice care. His oxygen levels are around 84% with oxygen. How low do his O2 levels get when death occurs? When his levels are low enough to kill him will he be aware enough to know what is happening? Could you explain the process before death to me? Thanks!
There are several issues that can impact your father's disease course.
1) His low oxygen levels do not damage the lungs (they are already damaged). The low oxygen damages the heart and the brain as these are the organs that use the most oxygen. When your father's blood oxygen level is low, the blood vessels in the lung contract. (I know this is counterintuitive, but the body does this to protect against gases that may be present such as carbon monoxide.) When the blood vessels in the lungs contract, this is called pulmonary hypertension.
2) Death in end-stage COPD is usually related to heart failure or some type of brain issue (see #1). Symptoms can be significant; however, if dyspnea (shortness of breath) is an issue, the use of morphine IV can reduce dyspnea at this stage to make the patient comfortable. The goal would be to maintain your father's comfort with all available methods–please speak to your hospice team about this–these professionals are extremely knowledgeable about managing symptoms at the end of life.
3) You may wish to speak with your father's doctor and hospice team regarding his low oxygen levels. Perhaps his oxygen delivery system needs to be increased to a face mask or transtracheal oxygen.
You may also find the following guidelines helpful in knowing what to expect:
Emphysema: Stages and Life Expectancy
I wish you and your father the best at this difficult time.
