PEMBROKE, N.C. - The Georgia College & State University women's basketball team (16-9, 11-7 PBC) lost a heartbreaker to Peach Belt Conference (PBC) opponent, University of North Carolina Pembroke (12-14, 8-11 PBC) in overtime to the score of 63-61.
The Bobcats led by as many as 12 points in the second half but the Braves were able to cut the lead to two with 1:30 on the clock. Pembroke's JaToya Kemp drove the line and hit a layup with 46 ticks left on the clock to tie the game at 56, which led to the eventual overtime.
In OT it was all Pembroke as they outscored Georgia College 8-5. The Bobcats did not make a shot in the last 3:28 of the extra period.
GCSU was led by sophomore guard Mandi Dudish (Snellville, Ga.). Dudish tallied 14 points hitting four threes.
Dudish was aided by Shandrea Moore's (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) 12 points and three assists. Tiauna Brantley (Woodstock, Ga.) finished with 11 points and 11 boards, her fourth double-double of the season. Brantley has also scored in double figures 18 times this season.
Lavontay Johnson was tonight's leading scorer finishing with 17 points and 10 boards. Johnson was aided by Kemp's 14 points along with Ashley Morales who also dropped 14.
The Bobcats are 1-1 in overtime games this season and fall to 19-16 all-time. The 'Cats were 10-16 from the charity stripe while the Braves couldn't miss hitting 23-29. Pembroke also out rebounded Georgia College 56-38, which were two huge differences in the contest.

And the belt and even the sandals also echo the hair, si? Love your site. Thank you for all your work.
nice mix of patterns!
i always dunno how to mix different prints together coz i hv a rule in my mind dat — print should be alwayz safe to match with sole colour!
i would like to c more amazing fotos! keep it on! viewing ur site is a must for my everyday life. u adds many ideas to me thx =)
So cute. Pochahontas' older sister?
i love dresses. dresses are perfect. that's all i have to say.
She is so interesting looking and at the same time, like a beautiful doll. You're right – perfect.
you know me by now.
… she knows all about being folcloristic and chic at the same time. true sartorialist(a?)!
Is that flea market still around Sartorialist? What a wonderful surprise! I thought it had moved over to 17th street, visited, and found that it wasn't the same. Can you say the location? Thanks!
the original 26th St flea market is gone but several of the surrounding spaces are still going. This shot was taken on 26th btw 6th &7th at a Flea Market in a parking garage.
there is also a good flea market on Avenue A and 9th street or close to 9th street
I love that flea market on Ave. A too Sarto.
One of my favorite Sunday visits on 11th St.
she looks like a doll!
wonderful dress
she looks like a china doll or something
Very sweet, happy face, like a souvenir doll!
Am I the only one who thinks she popped out of a cartoon book, ala Poccahantas-it doesn't even look like she did it on purpose,looks like she's from outer Mongolia and is herding yacks! Thin line between being satirical and looking like the joke you're trying to make…
very nice! she looks like an indian women from a long time ago! I love the skirt and shirt because they are colorfull and have plenty of life! congratulations!
Now this I like. European or American women who try to look to ethnical mostly ends up looking like a walking zoo, but she nails it. Feels effortless too.
I love New York, the people are so interesting. Last time I went I was at the flea market in Hells Kitchen and had my camera out the whole time.
Andy Warhol frequented the 26th Street Flea Market – talk about New York sightseeing!

New Research: Tracking the Birthplaces and "Lost Years" of Green Turtles main content.
by AMNH on
New research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and the City University of New York provides insight to the population distribution and "lost years" of Central Pacific green turtles, the span of time when the turtles hatch, enter the water, and emerge on a feeding ground often hundreds of miles away.
The study indicates that instead of simply drifting with ocean currents until they reach a landmass, young sea turtles may actively swim to reach specific feeding grounds. Published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, the work provides information necessary for conservation and management of this vulnerable species.
"Green turtles are highly migratory," said lead author Eugenia Naro-Maciel, a researcher affiliated with the Museum's Center for Biodiversity and Conservation (CBC) and an assistant professor at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York. "After hatching from eggs on nesting beaches, young turtles disperse into the ocean. Years later, as juveniles, they appear on coastal feeding grounds. We want to learn more about the connections between nesting and feeding areas because it's vital to know the full range of an organism in order to manage it."
The researchers focused their study on the green turtles (Chelonia mydas) at the feeding grounds in the remote Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, located about halfway between Hawaii and American Samoa.
"Sea turtles at Palmyra forage in a unique environment that's removed from pervasive human influence," said Eleanor Sterling, director of the CBC and an author on the study. "Our studies are highlighting the importance of Palmyra as a green turtle feeding ground. The current research provides a clearer understanding of where the turtles foraging on Palmyra come from and go to. Our results may help pinpoint the geographical regions needing additional conservation management."
In order to learn more about the migratory paths green turtles take to get to Palmyra, the researchers collected tissue samples from about 350 turtles in the wildlife refuge over the course of five years. DNA analysis of these tissues indicated that almost all of the turtles (about 97 percent) were born in the west central and south central Pacific, where Micronesia and American Samoa are respectively located. Then, an ocean current model was used to distribute thousands of virtual particles in the water—imitating newly hatched turtles a little larger than ping pong balls (5 centimeters)—and follow them back in time three years to their likely birthplace.
The ocean current model gave a very different answer for the turtles' origins, predicting that about half were born in the west central and south central Pacific and half were born in the east Pacific (Galapagos and Mexico).
"Based on our genetic data, we know that there's no way half of the turtles came from the Galapagos and Mexico, it's more like 3 percent tops," Naro-Maciel said. "We think the genetics are correct, so what's missing from the model? The most likely explanation is that even though these turtles are very small, they are exhibiting slight swimming behavior that's having a major impact on their course."
This study supports a growing consensus that marine animals do not randomly search out food, but instead follow somewhat-fixed migratory routes.
"Ocean circulation models show the pathways that lead to Palmyra, but it appears that turtles of some populations choose to get on those roads and others do not," said Nathan Putman, a researcher at Oregon State University who carried out the modeling component of the study. "It certainly implies that turtles have some control over where in the ocean they travel."
More research is needed to determine how turtles navigate this path, whether it's through cues from magnetic fields or some other mechanism. But knowing more about where green turtle migratory pathways are distributed in the Pacific and the tools that are able to expose them is a step toward comprehensive conservation of the species.

Has anyone made maple syrup from softwood (Silver) maples? Thinking of giving it a try this year, and I've got four huge ones right by the house.
Has anyone made maple syrup from softwood (Silver) maples? Thinking of giving it a try this year, and I've got four huge ones right by the house.
The sap from a silver maple has a lower sugar content compared to... let's say a sugar maple, but it will boil down to a syrup. I've heard of folks tapping river birches for syrup.
Yeah, I've been told that box elders work too, here I've always thought they weren't good for anything!
Ya you can tap silver maples. I've never use silver maple sap alone but have added it to sugar maple sap. Basically you just need more of it. I don't do maple anymore. I love the stuff mixed into my milk. But nowadays I just do bees.
The Indians (who invented making Maple syrup and Maple sugar) also do birch sap.
Micheal Bush,
I have read a number of your posts in which you make reference to some American Indian affiliation that you have. Not that race is ever an "issue", of course, I just find it interesting. So few people have Indian affiliates. One child told me that she thought all Indians were dead.
I am 16th cherokee for sure as my sister could not find any records on my grandmother's side after a couple generations back. Many native americans hid or ran from their culture and many are now trying to get back and save it. I think it is to late for alot of their traditions. From what I have seen the ceramonies were pasted down but little else.
By culture, I am Lakota. By blood I'm a sixteenth American Indian, but a few generations ago no one was very proud of it, at least not in a public sort of way. My Great Grandfather, who I remember, who was 1/2 Indian got land in the Cherokee strip Land run in Oklahoma, so being an Indian would have been a disadvantage at the time. He claimed to be Irish. He was 1/2 Irish.
So I can't say for sure what tribe, but evidence would narrow it probably to either Lakota or Ojibwa. Two enemies.
My grandchildren are more than half American Indian and that is too mixed up to keep track of how much from what tribe.
We will raise them Lakota.
Hi all
back to the silver maple the sap is ok but the run is much shorter as this the first maple to bud out, if you have ever made maple syrup from budding trees you won't do it again. The native american heritage thread was interesting too,most of us "natives here in the northeast have some link to a native american heritage but it is much to diluted to be visible.
Yes, a few years ago I experimented with it.
I got an 3/4 auger bit and cut a section of garden hose and with a some persuasion pushed and turned it into the 1 inch deep hole.
I put a nail into the tree above the hose and then I hung a bucket covered from the hose down over the top of the bucket. I think I used aluminum foil. I collected 20 gallons in two day's time. It boiled down to a pint of syrup on the woodstove over a period of 4-5 days.
Good stuff.
started taping trees saterday we got 2 quarts of syrup already and the sap hasnt even started flowing good
I live in western PA and tap a lot of red maples a few silver and some sugars. I'd like to have enough sugar maples to pass on the soft maples like they can in vermont, but they all make good syrup and I dont have enough to be picky about the type. So tap your silvers and enjoy the syrup!
I ran across a Dept. of Agriculture at a library in Washington state that talked about tapping the bigleaf maples for syrup. It said that you have have to boil more water out bigleaf maple sap than you do the sugar maple, but you can get a lot of sap out of a bigleaf maple. I believe it's the largest species of maple in the world.
If you had a lot of those big leaf maples and were thinking of making syrup on a semi commercial scale, the thing to do is to get a sap hydrometer and test the sugar content in some sap samples. If it's low , say under 1.5 percent sugar, the thing to do would be to use reverse osmosis to concentrate the sap before boiling it down. That would make it more economically feasible, assuming over 1,000 taps.

Just had a fabulous vacation in Oregon, visiting my husband's side of the family. My little sweeties got to spend time with their two cousins (this was about the longest they all stood still :) ).
For fun, I brought along supplies to do this little craft. They had a great time!!
The full tutorial can be found here - at the Mommy Blessings blog.
I went to Whole Foods, and the woman at the floral counter gave me a few of these flower water tubes for free! That made the entire project cost $0, because everything else I scrounged from around the house.
I also think this would be a great birthday party project...

When your daughter hands you a plastic trowel and says it is for digging cat holes on a camping trip, ask her why she is taking a cat camping. If she doesn�t have one, ask what kind of sanitary facilities will be available.
A cat hole, I was told, is a tiny hole dug in the ground cool hikers use as a toilet.
I recently spent a week camping in the mountains of Colorado and Arizona with my daughter, sent there to prevent her from being eaten by mountain lions. It was a fun time filled with cat holes, no showers and freeze-dried food, which was not half bad. The lack of showers I got used to. I still have cat hole nightmares.
We spent the bulk of the time in Arizona in a place called Teec Nos Pos, a town on the Navajo Reservation, which I believe is entirely populated by nice people who tried hard to steer us away from driving up nearby Pastora Peak to camp. But we were looking for the elusive Agapema homgema � a big luna style moth.
They apparently don�t get many people in Teec Nos Pos looking for moths. We arrived there all smiles after driving for hours across a desert (or at least it felt like hours).
To get to Teec Nos Pos you need to cross mountains and desert and pass signs that let people know they have finally discovered the surreal world.
�God Bless America Local Beans,� �Uranium workers Proudly Serving The Community,� �The Feed Store Church,� �The Outhouse Restaurant,� �I�d Rather Have A Cow Than A Condo,� �Guns, Bikers, Crafts,� �Animal Bed & Breakfast,� and �Watapi Motel: Last Motel for 150 Feet,� were just a few of the signs we saw.
At Teec Nos Pos, the locals we met must have rolled their eyes, thinking, �Tourists.�
�Hi! We�re looking for moths. How do you get up Pastora Peak?� I asked a lady at the counter in the local store.
She looked at me sadly and asked, �What are you driving?�
�A Subaru wagon,� I replied proudly, thinking to myself, Subarus can go anywhere.
�Ohhhhhh,� she said. �You need to talk to (insert name of woman we will call Second Lady).�
�Hi. can I help you,� Second Lady asked.
�Hi! We�re looking for moths. How do you get up Pastora Peak?�
�What are you driving?�
�A Subaru wagon.�
�Ohhhhhh. You know there is a nice waterfall nearby.�
�Great! But we want to get up Pastora Peak.�
�You need to talk to (we�ll call him Nice Young Man).�
�Hi! How do you get up Pastora Peak?�
�What are you driving?�
�A Subaru,� I said for the third time.
�Ohhhhhh. There�s a waterfall nearby you might like.�
Eventually he gave us directions and, in a concerned voice, said we might make it to the top if we took it slow.
Getting there was half the fun and we got a little over half way there. The �road� was just a bit larger than a goat path that runs over rocks large and small. By the time we reached our limit we were up about 8,000 feet in elevation. To save the car we pulled into the nearest shaded flat place and set up our tent. The site had dozens of piles of horse manure on it, which we attributed to Navajos riding their horses up the mountain. We later learned it was where wild horses spent the night. Three joined us one night.
We also discovered lots of lizards, had beautiful mountain views and endured many flies attracted by horse poop.
And there were hundreds of acres to dig for our cat holes.
The entire experience was jarring and cool at the same time. After three days we moved to the more civilized San Juan National Forest where we had a composting toilet.
It was a great trip. I would do it again. Unfortunately we didn�t find our moths.

WESTFIELD, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's cross country team finished sixth in a 21-team field at the James Earley Invitational, hosted by Westfield State at Stanley Park Saturday.
The men had 178 points, 151 points behind first-place Trinity. The Corsair women had only four runners and did not receive a team score. Carleton was first with 25 points.
Freshman Courtney Testa (Hopkinton, MA/Hopkinton HS) led the women in the 5k race, finishing 18th in 20:08. Sophomore Jess Carpenter (Rutland, MA/Wachusett Regional HS) was 52nd in 21:28, freshman Stacey Dybel was 62nd in 21:50, and sophomore Deirdre Ginley (Taunton, MA/Taunton HS) was 63rd, also in 21:50.
For the men, senior Eric Holmes (Abington, MA/Abington HS) was 10th in 26:47, freshman Travis Wright (Hanson, MA/Whitman-Hanson HS) was 34th in 27:55, freshman Jared Correia (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) was 35th in 27:56, sophomore Eric Nygaard (Medway, MA/Medway HS) was 49th in 28:29,
junior Matt Lemanski (East Longmeadow, MA/East Longmeadow HS) was 75th in 29:12, freshman Ricky Goldblatt (New Bedford, MA/Greater New Bedford Vo Tech HS) was 103rd in 30:03, sophomore Wes Meserve (Merrimack, MA/Merrimack HS) 132nd in 31:13, sophomore Ryan Sechovicz (Kingston, MA/Silver Lake Regional HS) was 135th in 31:19, and freshman Dan Rutledge (Middleboro, MA/Middleboro HS) was 178th in 33:02.
"All of the women ran well," said UMass Dartmouth Assistant Coach Deon Barrett. "Courtney Testa has led us all year, Jess Carpenter ran a phenomenal race, and Stacey and Deirdre worked well together. For the men, Travis, Jared and Eric Nygaard really stepped it up, considering that we were missing three of our top runners due to injury and illness. Eric Holmes has been our leader for the past couple of years, and he did a great job, and Matt Lemanski had a breakthrough race. The team score really does not indicate how well we ran."
The Corsairs will return to action when they visit Williams next Saturday.

Wild edibles can be elusive creatures; hiding where you least expect them, and absent where they aught to be found. A hunt worth pursuing, it just takes a bit more effort to get dinner on the table if foraging is involved. Luckily, here in New England, the forests are ripe with fiddlehead ferns, and I was determined to find them. Hundreds of ferns spring up every year in my own backyard, but alas, they're not the tasty sort that you'd want to consume. Clearly, it was time to search farther afield, as there was no chance I would miss out on these short-lived seasonal specialties for yet another year. An epic journey ensued, or a wild goose chase, depending on who you ask, with over 50 miles traveled. Out into the vast, untamed natural beauty of… Whole Foods in New York City.
Yes, I know, I've lost all "foodie" cred for admitting that, but I just couldn't find those suckers anywhere. Not by poking through the swamps or shopping in any local markets- There's good reason I always miss out on fiddlehead ferns every spring. Still, this was the next best thing to foraging in the great outdoors, and the bounty still ended up being free. Our gracious cashier didn't know how to price them, readily admitted this problem, and handed over the goods free of charge. Gotta love that kind of luck.
Most important to any dish utilizing these delicate wild vegetables is to keep it simple, and allow those ferns to shine. Taking inspiration from their coiled shape, I thought of shrimp scampi, minus the seafood of course. Though it's hardly a revolutionary recipe, it was a delightfully fast, satisfying dish, which would pair beautifully with just about any protein accompaniment, be it bean or wheat. Garlicky strands of noodles intertwined with the stars of the show, brightened by a hit of lemon and fresh herbs, it simply screams "spring!" Fiddlehead ferns do have a sadly short window of availability, so don't wait; go and "forage" some for yourself, before it's too late!
Fiddlehead Scampi
1/2 Pound Fiddlehead Ferns
1/2 Pound Angel Hair, Spaghetti, or Linguini
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
1 Shallot, Finely Diced
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
2 Tablespoons Mirin (or White Wine plus 1 Teaspoon Agave)
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
3 – 4 Tablespoons Fresh Parsley, Chopped
1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Salt, to Taste
Zest of 1 Lemon
First, prep your fiddleheads by removing any particularly long ends and remaining papery "scales." Wash well, particularly if you did find them yourself out in the wild. Cook in boiling water for a full 10 minutes, drain thoroughly, and immediately plunge them into a bath of ice water to arrest the cooking process. Once thoroughly chilled, drain once more and set aside.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package, and drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil to prevent the strands from sticking, and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the remaining oil and toss in the prepped shallot and garlic. Saute over medium heat for about 5 – 7 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Add in the mirin and lemon juice, simmering for about 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook and mellow a bit. Add in the cooked noodles and fiddleheads, tossing to incorporate with the sauce, along with the parsley, cayenne, and salt. Cook for 1 – 3 more minutes until piping hot, and finally top with the lemon zest.
Serves 3 – 4 as a Side

Oldest Big Cat: Fossil of Four-Plus Million-Year-Old Big Cat Species Discovered main content.
Oldest Big Cat: Fossil of Four-Plus Million-Year-Old Big Cat Species Discovered
by AMNH on
by AMNH on
Researchers on an expedition in Tibet recently discovered the oldest big cat fossil ever found, filling a significant gap in the fossil record.
The skull from the new species, named Panthera blytheae, is described today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. The research, led by Jack Tseng, a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California at the time of the discovery and now a postdoctoral fellow at the Museum, suggests that big cats have a deeper evolutionary origin than previously expected based on the existing fossil record.
DNA evidence and "molecular clock" age estimation techniques had suggested that "big cats"—the Pantherinae subfamily, including lions, jaguars, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, and clouded leopards—diverged from their nearest evolutionary cousins, Felinae (which includes cougars, lynxes, and domestic cats), about 10.8 million years ago.
However, the oldest fossils of big cats previously found are tooth fragments uncovered at Laetoli in Tanzania, dating to just 3.6 million years ago.
Using magnetostratigraphy—dating fossils based on the distinctive patterns of reversals in the Earth's magnetic field, which are recorded in layers of rock—Tseng and his team were able to estimate the age of the new fossil skull at around 4.4 million years old.
The find not only challenges previous suppositions about the origins of big cats, it also helps place that evolution in a geographical context. The discovery occurred in a region that overlaps the majority of current big cat habitats, and suggests that the group evolved in central Asia and spread outward, rather than originating in Africa as previously inferred from the known fossil record.
In addition, recent estimates suggested that species within the genus Panthera (lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, and snow leopards) did not begin to diversify until 3.72 million years ago, which the new find disproves because the new species of Panthera is much older than that.
"This research provides an elegant example of the continuing value of exploration in understudied regions of our planet, and of integrative interdisciplinary and international research," said John Flynn, Frick Curator of Fossil Mammals in the Museum's Division of Paleontology and Tseng's postdoctoral supervisor, who was not an author on the paper. "New discoveries like this well-dated fossil 'big cat' can transform our understanding of the geographic origins and age of key groups of mammals, as well as the environmental context for their early histories and diversification."
Tseng, his wife Juan Liu, and Gary Takeuchi of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, discovered the skull in 2010 while scouting in the remote border region between Pakistan and China—an area that takes a bumpy seven-day car ride to reach from Beijing. Liu found more than 100 bones that were likely deposited by a river eroding out of a cliff. There, below fossil antelope limbs and jaws, was the crushed—but largely complete—remains of the cat skull.
For the past three years, Tseng and his team have used detailed anatomical studies to determine that the skull does, in fact, represent a new species, and combined it with DNA and geological information to determine its place in time and cat (felid) evolution. They plan to return soon to the site where they found the skull in order to search for more specimens.

December 2, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments
The Slackware-based CDLinux just came out with a new release, CDLinux 0.9.5. I'd never used CDLinux so I decided to take a shot at the minimalist live CD and found a solid little distribution worth a look.
The name CDLinux stands for "Compact Distro Linux" which is the focus of the extremely efficient CDLinux distribution. This latest version of the distro, CDLinux 0.9.5, has several updated packages such as Linux kernel 188.8.131.52, X.Org Server 1.6.5, CUPS 1.4.2, Poppler 0.12.2, Samba 3.4.2, Firefox 3.5.5. CDLinux also includes up-to-date applications such as Pidgin, GIMP, Java and Wine.

I'm interested in buying a resonator for me but I never had one before.
I'm in doubt about the material, like wood, brass or steel. And if I get a single cone or a tricone; I"m looking for playing Delta Blues with slide.
Thank you.

But I still have one last question, what do you think about buying a new reso or a vintage one?

Goldschmidt, D-backs down Cubs
Chicago, IL – Paul Goldschmidt hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning that lifted the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 12-4 win over the Chicago Cubs, in the middle test of a three-game series.
With Carlos Marmol (2-3) pitching for the Cubs, Willie Bloomquist drew a walk to start the eighth. After Eric Hinske popped out, Gerardo Parra ripped a shot to center, but the ivy alongside Wrigley Field's walls ate the ball and the umpires ruled it a ground rule double, forcing Bloomquist to head back to third. Didi Gregorius walked, which loaded the bases and set up Goldschmidt's grand slam.
"I was looking for a pitch up in the zone to stay out of the double play," Goldschmidt said. "Luckily I was able to put a good swing on it and get it out of there."
Jason Kubel drove in four runs. Parra had a home run and two RBI while Cliff Pennington and Martin Prado each drove in one run for the Diamondbacks.
Arizona starter Ian Kennedy (3-3) allowed four runs on three hits and a walk while fanning seven in seven innings.
Nate Schierholtz had a home run and drove in two runs while Alfonso Soriano and Welington Castillo had an RBI apiece for the Cubs, who had a five-game winning streak snapped.
Chicago starter Jeff Samardzija, coming off his first career shutout on Monday, had 11 strikeouts and gave up three runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings.
"He's getting a lot of movement on his fastball ... Obviously his split was pretty devestating tonight," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said of Samardzija.
Parra homered to start the game, but the Cubs scored three runs in the home half of the first. David DeJesus ripped a double to left, Starlin Castro was hit by a pitch and Anthony Rizzo drew a walk to load the bases. Soriano hit a sacrifice fly to center, scoring DeJesus. Schierholtz doubled, plating Castro. Castillo's RBI groundout to shortstop brought Rizzo home.
Cubs manager Dale Sveum was ejected in the second for arguing a safe call when A.J. Pollock reached first on an infield single.
Neither team mustered much offense until the seventh. Kubel smacked a two-out double deep to left-center, scoring Gregorius, but Schierholtz homered to begin the bottom of the inning and tied the game at 4-4.
The Diamondbacks added four more runs in the ninth. With Zach Putnam relieving for the Cubs, Bloomquist singled to lead off and scored on a double by Pennington. Parra then hit a sacrifice fly, scoring Pennington.
Putnam then gave up four straight singles, the last of which came from Prado, who plated Gregorius. Kubel then grounded into a fielder's choice toward second, which brought Goldschmidt home.
Matt Reynolds pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to end the game.
Game Notes
Castro played in his 499th career game ... The Diamondbacks were 4- for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 13 players on base ... Arizona's bullpen has held opponents scoreless in nine of their last 12 road games ... Reynolds is scoreless in 10 of 11 road games. He's allowed just one run in 10 2/3 innings ... There was a 2 hour 21 minute rain delay prior to the start of the game.

Bedford resident Ralph Lauren is closing dozens of stores throughout the country, including his flagship Polo store on Fifth Avenue in the coming weeks.
Citing declining sales and increased pressure from e-commerce, on Tuesday, the company announced that it was shuttering the doors of several stores while it continues building a global e-commerce platform.
The 77-year-old Lauren will reportedly spend more than $350 million in restructuring costs, but will save $140 million by taking these measures, after announcing a plan last June to save more than $200 million by cutting its workforce.
Lauren ranks No. 281 on Forbes' list of world's richest people with a net worth of $5.5 billion. For more on that, click here.

Kiva is expanding. Surprised? You shouldn't be. Kiva has been expanding constantly, both from the perspective of size and the perspective of product diversity, since it was established in 2005. Still, Kiva's expansion in the past year has been lightening fast – I went to Fellows Training in January and I already sometimes feel behind the times. In the past year Kiva has expanded into the fields of educational loans, loans for water systems, green energy loans, and many more, not to mention the huge development that is Kiva Zip. But you know what? Even given all of these awesome new Kiva products, I still like the good ol' Kiva small business loan – administered by a local microfinance institution (MFI) – the best.
Why is that? Well, to be honest this blog is a bit of a cop out – In a way, I already wrote this post during my last Fellowship. But what I'd like to do differently this time is not just discuss why MFIs are awesome, but also focus on a particular service that is key in helping owners of micro, small and medium enterprises lift themselves out of poverty: money management.
I know what you're thinking – most Kiva borrowers have little money to manage, right? Well, the other side of that coin is that it is specifically because there has never been much money around that Kiva borrowers are so unfamiliar with how to manage the little they have. In my 6 months as a Fellow I have interacted with all kinds of borrowers, ranging from those who set aside 10% of their income for a rainy day fund to those who would sooner buy a Wii than a roof for their chicken coop. While the reflex to invest is natural for some, it simply isn't in the psyche of others (as each and every one of you surely has seen in at least one member of your friends or extended family.)
While MFIs vary greatly, there is one thing they all have in common – they all want to get their money back. If a borrower takes her loan and buys a Wii, well, that money is gone for good. Thus, all MFIs have a strong incentive to help their clients learn how to make wise investments and manage their money. From explaining the concept of over-indebtedness to teaching clients the difference between investment and consumption, the use of the loan is consistently an item of discussion between loan officers and borrowers.
Don't get me wrong, the importance of financing education, clean water, etc cannot be denied. Obviously, basic needs need to be covered before borrowers can even begin to think about money management. Furthermore, these products do also require involvement from the financing institution, whether in the form of technical training or in the form of post-education placement support. However, what small business loans offer that these loans don't offer is the basic conceptual training on how to spend and save money. You've all heard the stories about the sports stars that have blown millions of dollars of savings within a few years of retiring – clearly this knowledge is often more valuable than the money itself!
And lest we forget the new and exciting Kiva Zip - lending at 0% interest to a client that pays 0% interest on their loan – so awesome. However, when excitedly making your first Kiva Zip loans (which all of you should do when you can) don't forget about the importance of a comprehensive product. Loans don't make borrowers better off, it's the use of the loan that can make the borrower better off, and as a general rule Kiva's MFI partners provide this advice as part of their product.
In short, if you feel that poverty can be defined at least in part as "lack of resources," it serves to reason that it can be alleviated not only by increasing the resources available but also by using those available more efficiently. Kiva's original product – loans to entrepreneurs administered through local microfinance institutions – is the best way to ensure that the loan you're financing is used as wisely as possible. And that is why it's still my favorite.
David Gorgani is currently serving his second Fellowship in Guatemala, working with FAPE and ASDIR to help them maximize their relationships with Kiva. David's previous Fellowship was in the Dominican Republic, helping ASPIRE get started as a Kiva Field Partner and helping Esperanza International with borrower verifications.

The American Trucking Associations is committed to a bold sustainability program that will have an immediate impact on the environment, reducing fuel consumption by 86 billion gallons and thus reducing the carbon footprint of all vehicles by nearly a billion tons over the next ten years.
Our new plan will extend the significant progress industry has already made over the past 24 years in reducing its carbon footprint and overall impact on the environment. Delivering Economic Value: Trucking is the driving force behind the nation's economy moving 11 billion tons of freight each year. Trucks deliver 100 percent of all consumer products and 70 percent of all freight tonnage; 80 percent of U.S. communities receive their goods exclusively by truck.
Delivering Environmental Improvements: New engines, highly efficient particulate filters, ultra-low sulfur diesel oil, and new management techniques have reduced the industry's environmental impact significantly.
Lowering Our Carbon Footprint: Thanks to ATA's cooperation with the government and 37,000 affiliates to develop and encourage use of its sustainability recommendations, the program will reduce fuel consumption by 86 billion gallons and CO2 emissions from all vehicles by 900 million tons in the next 10 years, ATA estimates.

AUSTIN, Texas — Simon Klose would like you to steal his movie. Stream it, download it, share it with someone in Croatia or Brazil and remix it with videos of kittens playing patty-cake, if that's your kind of thing.
Klose, 37, is the director of the documentary "The Pirate Bay: Away From Keyboard," which follows the eccentric co-founders of the Swedish file-sharing network the Pirate Bay over four years, including their 2009 trial on copyright infringement charges. Shot like a thriller in the stark light of Stockholm, "TPB: AFK" pits its hoodie-clad young subjects, who created the world's largest piracy site and are part of a global anti-copyright movement, against large American media companies such as 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures and Warner Bros.
FOR THE RECORD:

Pirate Bay: An earlier version of the caption with the photo accompanying this story misidentified Pirate Bay co-founder Gottfrid Svartholm Warg as director Simon Klose.

Like Abbie Hoffman's 1971 counterculture text "Steal This Book," Klose's movie is a provocation — and so is the manner in which he's releasing it. At the moment of its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February, Klose made the full, 85-minute movie available for free on YouTube, where it has since been viewed roughly 1.7 million times. (Watch it here.) Earlier this month, upon its U.S. debut at the South by Southwest film festival in Austin, he released it on iTunes and launched a free Web application that allows filmmakers and viewers to embed and access hyperlinks in the movie from their phones.

On his website, Klose tracks the number of people sharing his movie at any given time via the Pirate Bay's servers — on a recent day, more than 5,500 people had made it available to others to download.
"I made this choice to put out this film online for free, 'cause I wanted to make a statement and show my core audience that I understand how they feel," Klose said. "I wanted to release the film the way I wanted to receive it as a film fan. ... It's out. It's on YouTube. Boom!"
Klose's movie is one of a handful of new films about the transformative and often legally ambiguous culture of the Internet. "Downloaded," a documentary about Napster, the pioneering file-sharing service that helped derail the music industry in the early 2000s, also premiered at South by Southwest and will be shown on VH1 in coming months. "We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks," a documentary about the website that published classified U.S. government documents, opens in theaters May 24. "The Fifth Estate," a live-action film starring Benedict Cumberbatch as WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange, is due in November. And "We Are Legion," a documentary that traces the activist hacker group Anonymous, became available to stream or download last fall.
The movies share a special digital-era challenge — how to dramatize a revolution that is happening in the form of 0s and 1s.
For Klose, the solution came in the antiheroes at the center of his story — Pirate Bay co-founders Fredrik Neij, Peter Sunde and Gottfrid Svartholm Warg. Klose met Sunde at a 2008 rally against a Swedish wiretapping law. Drawn in by Sunde's passion and idealism about the need for a free and open Internet, Klose began trying to cultivate a relationship with the Pirate Bay "AFK" or "away from keyboard," an Internet phrase used in the title of the movie that refers to meeting someone offline.
"I was like, dude, who are these guys who are giving the finger to the international media industry?" said Klose, who has a law degree and has directed Swedish music videos, commercials and shorts. "They're at the forefront of a global movement. They have all these great stories, about politics and pranks." (A recent example — after Dennis Rodman's visit to North Korea, the site issued a false press release saying that Pirate Bay had sought virtual asylum there).
Klose has spent an extraordinary amount of time with the founders of the Pirate Bay, which today is the Internet's 73rd busiest website, according to the Web traffic ranking site Alexa. He followed them to Stockholm courtroom hearings, a subterranean bunker where they stored their servers, a bus trip to Italy for an art show and southeast Asia, where they vacationed and where Neij got married.
Sunde, 34, emerges as the group's earnest spokesman; Neij, 34, its wisecracker; and Warg, 28, its recluse. Together they often seem too clever by half — one of Warg and Neij's early joint projects was a website called America's Dumbest Soldiers, which asked users to rate how dumb Iraq war soldiers were based on how they died. Klose's lens captures the darkness of the young men, as when Neij delivers a drunken anti-immigrant rant in a bar , and multiple interview subjects reference Warg's drug use.
The Pirate Bay doesn't produce content of its own but rather serves as a kind of online trading floor for its users to exchange movies, TV shows, music, software and video games with one another without paying for them — on a recent visit to the site, copies of the just released DreamWorks Animation movie "The Croods," the new A&E TV drama "Bates Motel" and the first-person shooter video game "BioShock Infinite" were readily available to download for free.
To many copyright holders — and to the Swedish courts — the Pirate Bay is neither prankster nor revolutionary but a crook that deprives artists and businesses of income. As Klose documents, the site is anarchically organized — the Pirate Bay has no formal boss or office space but is run by a handful of techies holding online meetings in chat rooms from their laptops around the world.
In February 2012, Sweden's Supreme Court upheld a criminal conviction on copyright infringement charges against Neij, Sunde and Warg. Sunde is in Sweden waiting to serve an eight-month prison sentence; Neij is living in Laos, where Klose said he is wanted by Interpol; and Warg was arrested in Cambodia and deported to Sweden, where he is serving a one-year sentence for unrelated hacking charges.
"By facilitating the theft and distribution of such a large amount of creative content, the Pirate Bay has harmed the workers and business people whose livelihoods depend on these products," said the Motion Picture Assn. of America, the trade group that represents the six major movie studios, in a statement about Klose's film. "And it has damaged the consumer experience by pushing stolen, illegitimate content into the marketplace."
Klose is unapologetically on the side of his subjects, which puts him in the unusual position of creating a piece of intellectual property intended for an audience that largely sneers at the concept of intellectual property.
"I love the Internet," said Klose, who was animated despite having gotten just an hour of sleep the night before while preparing to launch his app. "That's my main stance. Sure, people have been losing money. But at every technological paradigm shift, people lose money. I don't think it means we should go back to the system before the Internet. I see the Internet as a tool that should give my audience a better experience. The media industry hasn't been able to adjust to that. They don't deliver films the way the audience wants to consume them. It's impossible to stream or download a new film unless you pirate it."
Klose paid for his movie with crowd-funding, grants from the Swedish, Norwegian and Danish film institutes and the sale of rights to six TV networks, including the BBC. In Sweden, he has registered as a film distributor, and he is touring with his movie there like an indie rock band with a new album to promote. In the U.S., he has no plans for a theatrical release.
"I knew that making the film available online would kill off theatrical deals," Klose said. "But that doesn't mean I don't want to see my film on the big screen. My film is made for the big screen."
Klose also created his Web app, LinkLib, with the Google-happy habits of modern movie and TV audiences in mind. The app, which users access by scanning a barcode on a corner of a piece of video with their phones, enables them to look at Web links associated with the content they're watching — an actor's resume on IMDB, for instance; an iTunes link for the band playing on the soundtrack; a recipe for that cocktail Jon Hamm is drinking on "Mad Men."
Klose has begun sharing his app with other filmmakers and is getting a positive response, he said. For his own movie, Klose embedded dozens of links, including film festival reviews, a blog entry by Sunde criticizing the final product as too "dark and gloomy" and a hello video from Warg that was smuggled out of prison.

DMV Law Enforcement Division
DMV Law Enforcement may be contacted by phone at (804) 367-1678 or by email at email@example.com, or by submitting a General Complaint (form LE-22).
For issues unrelated to Law-Enforcement matters, please refer to the agency Contact Information.
The DMV Law Enforcement Division is composed of three sections:
Field Investigations
Field Investigations' primary role is to protect the integrity of credentials issued by DMV to the public through enforcement of laws and regulations specific to motor vehicle titling and driver licensing. Field Investigations special agents are charged with investigating crimes associated with identity and DMV credentials. These investigations can involve lone offenders or complex criminal organizations. Field Investigations law enforcement officers often partner with local and federal agencies, participating in task forces created to combat identity fraud, vehicle theft and public corruption.
This unit is also responsible for working with the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board (MVDB) to regulate activities of automobile vehicle dealers of both new and used vehicles. DMV special agents often partner with MVDB representatives to identify and address instances of individuals and businesses operating without the required license.
Field Investigations special agents also conduct internal investigations involving agency personnel.
DMV special agents have offices inside the customer service centers where they respond immediately to concerns, such as individuals who attempt to pass counterfeit documents. Their presence serves not only to deter attempts of criminal activity, but also to facilitate partnerships with DMV customer service representatives as a first line defense in the detection of fraudulent documents and apprehension of offenders.
Field Investigations agents also are charged with enforcing the Virginia Code section intended to protect Virginia consumers from unsafe vehicles and vehicle fraud arising from the illegal sale of vehicles without the required business and motor vehicle dealer licenses, safety inspections, warranties, titling, or taxes. This statute also protects licensed motor vehicle dealers from unfair and illegal competition and ensures that the state and localities collect appropriate revenues.
Field Investigation activities include investigations into:
- Driver license and title fraud
- Odometer fraud
- Misuse of dealer plates and temporary tags
- Curbstoning
- Sales and use tax evasion
- Motor vehicle theft
Field Operations
Field Operations is responsible for compliance with and enforcement of DMV laws that pertain to commercial transportation, motor fuels tax, the automobile salvage industry, and the integrity of titles produced through the sale or transfer of motor vehicles under special circumstances (i.e. those reported as salvage or abandoned). This workgroup has a threefold mission:
- To protect Virginia consumers
- To maintain a level playing field among Virginia businesses having a connection to the transportation, auto recycling, and motor fuel industries
- To ensure transportation revenues are collected in a fair and efficient manner
Commercial Carrier and Tax Enforcement Unit
Commercial Carrier and Tax Enforcement (CC&TE) is responsible for compliance with laws governing commercial passenger and property carriers as well as taxation of motor fuels. In addition, CC&TE supports DMV's mobile weigh crews and the Virginia State Police commercial vehicle safety program.
This group includes special agents strategically deployed over three geographic regions. Examples of tasks performed by CC&TE are:
- Investigation of complaints lodged against carriers
- Inspection of for-hire transportation concerns
- Addressing unlicensed operators
- Enforcing laws prohibiting use of untaxed motor fuels in highway vehicles
- Inspection of businesses that hold a motor fuels tax license
- Investigation into fuels tax evasion and avoidance
- Enforcing road tax surcharges imposed on commercial carriers
- Supporting DMV mobile weigh crews in the field
- Performing safety inspections of commercial motor vehicles under guidelines mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
Special Inspections Group
The Special Inspections Group (SIG) is primarily responsible for the oversight of businesses that focus on recycling motor vehicles and/or motor vehicle parts. SIG also is responsible for ensuring the integrity of titles issued by DMV for salvage, abandoned, and demolished motor vehicles. In addition, SIG is frequently called upon to assist other law enforcement agencies to identify motor vehicles without an assigned vehicle identification number (VIN) or a VIN that has been altered.
This group includes special agents strategically deployed throughout Virginia. Examples of tasks performed by SIG are:
- Examination of vehicles acquired as salvage that are repaired or rebuilt to ensure that stolen parts were not used
- Verification of vehicle identification numbers as required by law
- Enforcement of laws pertaining to motor vehicle salvage and recycling
- Investigation into complaints lodged against salvage dealers, salvage pools, demolishers, and vehicle removal operators
- Inspection of licensed businesses referred to in the preceding bullet
- Investigation into complaint about title integrity
- Addressing unlicensed businesses
Operations Support Services
Operations Support Services (OSS) is the point of contact for law enforcement agencies throughout the United States that need assistance as well as for citizens who want to submit complaints requesting investigations into alleged violations of the laws of the Commonwealth, with special emphasis on DMV-related issues. OSS performs first line analysis of those cases, referrals, and inquiries that come to LED from inside and outside DMV.
OSS personnel handle matters such as requests to expunge records, stolen vehicle hits that are encountered during the mechanics/storage lien process, photo mismatches indicating possible identity theft, background investigations of prospective employees, as well as numerous other tasks. OSS personnel also monitor DMV Law Enforcement's digital radio system (STARS), maintaining communications with special agents assigned to all parts of the Commonwealth.
OSS special agents provide a law enforcement presence for DMV headquarters and are trained and prepared to respond to emergent incidents, including crimes of violence, medical emergencies, and weather-related emergencies. Special Agents assigned to OSS also conduct special investigations as needed and participate in protection details for government officials.
OSS also oversees the contractors who provide physical security at 34 CSCs and the DMV headquarters building in Richmond. All security personnel maintain training on advanced life saving measures, such as first aid and CPR, to ensure that they are able to protect and assist more than 1,800 DMV employees and more than 100,000 customers who visit DMV facilities during the 63 hours that CSCs are open each week. Security is present at DMV headquarters 24 hours per day, every day of the year.[Back to Top]

Craig and Weisz marry
JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG has married actress RACHEL WEISZ in a secret ceremony in New York.
The couple, who reportedly began dating after meeting on the set of upcoming movie Dream House, exchanged vows on Wednesday (22Jun11) in an intimate ceremony only attended by Craig's teenage daughter Ella, Weisz's five-year-old son Henry, and two family friends, according to Sky News.
Craig's publicist Robin Baun, of Slate PR, confirmed the news to the Associated Press, but didn't reveal any more details.
The Mummy star Weisz split from her long term partner and father of her son, Darren Aronofsky, last year (10), while Craig reportedly broke off his engagement to fiancee Satsuki Mitchell.

Overview: In 2014, AO tested out a new chat room service called "ArrowChat." It was chosen to give AOers the ability to have group chats and private messaging via a chat window. Think of it as facebook messager, but for AO. We tested it in early 2014 and later implemented for the entire site a few weeks later. AO currently has a license for the software for its lifetime.
- Chat room: Currently, we have one main chat room on AO. You will be automatically logged into it as a default.
- Private Messaging: If the AO member is logged in, you will be able to select their name from the "Chat" list and left click their name. A private message window will pop open.
- Applications: We have the "World Map" available for display. It will show all of the locations of where AOers are accessing AO online. More will be added.
- Bar Links: We only have the "Paypal Calculator" added to the bar links, but more AO related websites will be added in the future.
- Video Chat: Video chat has been enabled in the chat room as well as private messaging.
- Mobile Chat: Mobile chat has been enabled. Please use the mobile chat link to use.
How to Guides:
- How to turn off chat room: Go to the bottom of AO and press the "Arrow" button on the bottom right of the page.
- How to turn off sound: Go to the AO Chatroom by pressing the "Word Bubble" on the bottom right of the page. Go to the "Cog Wheel" at the top left of the pop-out screen. Click on "Chat Room Sounds" to turn off sounds. Make sure there is no check mark on the option.
- How to turn off private messages: Same steps as above, click on "Block Private Chats."
- How to connect to mobile chatroom: Go to www.automags.org/forums on your mobile device. Click on "Mobile Chat" on the top bar of AO. On the screen, click "Home" Sign back into Automags.org and click the "Mobile Chat" link once again. It will now authenticate you back to AO and you will be at the Mobile Chat screen that displays "Online Users" and chatrooms available.
*You have to log in each time you want to access AO. Arrowchat is aware of the issue.
Chatroom Settings:
Below are the standard settings for Arrowchat. We changed a few numbers to allow for interaction of AOers to last a longer time. For example, you could hold a private conversation with someone without the risk of their computers locking out. The number has been changed, but this also increases the amount of AOers showing in the "available" chat box.
Many people were confused with how Arrowchat actually functions so hopefully this information will make sense of it. There is a pro/con for increasing or decreasing the time.
- Message Heart Beat: Making this value smaller will use more server resources but ArrowChat will retrieve new messages faster. This value cannot be greater than the online timeout. Default: 3
- Buddy List Heart Beat: Making this value smaller will use more server resources but ArrowChat will update the buddy list more often. Changed setting to 5.
- Online Timeout: The time in seconds that a user will be considered offline if inactive for this long. This value cannot be lower than the heart beat. Changed setting to 3600.
- Idle Timeout: The time in minutes that a user is considered idle after not moving their mouse or pressing a key. An idle user will use less resources. Changed setting to 30.
Known Issues:
- AdBlocker issues: If you are running ANY ad blocker software, please add automags.org to the exemption list. We are seeing many of the features on AO being blocked by these programs. The header and the chatroom are sometimes blocked by this software. AO does not try and spam ads all over the place. Please make it easy for me to administrate. (Signed by Bunny)
- I.E with Chatroom not refreshing: Certain versions of Internet Explorer do not work with the jQuery Arrowchat software. Please make sure you are using an up to date web browser for this function to work. I.E 9, Chrome, and Firefox have been tested and has worked so far.
- Chat not refreshing There is a variety of reasons why this may be happening. Check to see if refreshing the browser works. Having multiple tabs open with AO could possibly create a conflict with the chatroom. I suggest using the pop-out chat setting to see if that would help.
Technical Assistance:
Please comment on this article below and let me know if you are having any issues with the AO chatroom function.

The comic strip Shoe is populated by the feathered denizens of Treetops, East Virginia.
The first string characters are P. Martin "Shoe" Shoemaker, Perfesser Cosmo Fishhawk and Roz Specklehen.
Support characters include Cosmo's nephew Skyler, Loon, Irv and Senator Batson D Belfry. Filling out the Shoe gang are fortuneteller Madame Zoo Doo, nonagenarian Biz and Wiz, the computer whiz.
Life and banter revolve around Roz's Roost, a greasy spoon diner. When not feeding, Shoe and Cosmo work at the local newspaper, The Treetops Tattler.
Skyler is Perfesser Cosmo Fishhawks nephew. Hes a smart kid but refuses to let any of his teachers in on this secret. Skyler understands how important he is to any team he plays on. As hes fond of saying. Without me, the bench would never get warm!
The strips namesake, Shoe, is based on legendary North Carolina journalist Jim Shumaker, Jeff MacNellys first news-paper boss. P. Martin Shoemaker is a grouchy, cigar-smoking newspaperbird with a tough side and an even-tougher other side. He is a proud ex-husband five times over. When not editing reporter Cosmo Fishhawks stories and columns to shreds, he can be found trying to pick up his next ex-wife or grumbling about the food at Rozs Diner.
Perfesser Cosmo Fishhawk is an overeducated underachiever. He is the reporter and columnist for Shoes newspaper, The Treetops Tattler-Tribune, although hed much rather be a famous novelist. Even though hes slightly on the chubby side, Cosmo insists hes not fat, hes just fluffy. When not fighting his war on calories, he specializes in being late for work, striking out with the ladies and taking naps at his desk.
She runs her famous greasy spoon, Rozs Roost, where the rest of the Shoe gang spends as much time as possible avoiding work. The wisecracking, street-smart redhead takes guff from no one. Her only house rule is No whining! And if her diner had a motto, it would have to be, If I dont have it, you dont need it!
See what the Royal Membership is all about.

FWIW, I used Microsoft Access and created a table, form and report function for each of my classes (Civ Pro, Contracts, Torts) that have cases and I enter data there. Each field in Access can hold a max of 255 characters, so it forces me to be brief, and the report prints out as a 1 page document, each section boxed off for easy identification.It's easy to read it this way, and I can move between cases easily in class. Also, when it comes time to study, I can print out the most important cases. I've got it broken down into the following categories to make it easier for me to enter the data:DATECLASSCASE HEADINGCOURT NAMEDATE OF DECISIONCITATIONCASEBOOK PAGE NUMBERPROCEDURAL HISTORYFACTSISSUEJUDGMENTHOLDINGREASONINGCONCURRING/DISSENTING OPINIONSCOMMENTS
Still hitting the books eh jj? Ya my prof also said "whether" is her favorite word when trying to discover the issue in a case.
WooooHooooo I can get cocky. Now I'm ready to be a real law student.
