The University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team, ranked fifth in the national polls with a 19-5-5 overall record, travels to play ninth-ranked Harvard University (15-8-3) on Feb. 17 (in a game that was originally scheduled for Dec. 12).
UNH has a 27-12-3 lifetime record, including this year's 1-1 home tie, against Harvard. The Wildcats have a 9-5-2 mark on the road, including a 3-3 tie in their most recent trip to Bright Hockey Center (Dec. 8, 2007). UNH is unbeaten in the last seven overall meetings at 5-0-2. Prior to that, Harvard won 12 consecutive matchups from the 1999-2004 seasons; HU's most recent win in the series was Dec. 9, 2003 in Cambridge.
In this year's matchup (Dec. 5), UNH took a 1-0 lead midway through the second period but the visiting Crimson tied the score on a power-play goal with 1:14 remaining in that stanza. Harvard recorded a 20-5 shot advantage in the third period, but the score remained tied at 1-1. UNH had the 3-2 shot advantage in the five-minute overtime session, but HU generated a 37-13 edge overall. UNH goaltender Kayley Herman stopped a career-high 36 shots and counterpart Christina Kessler made 12 saves.
With last weekend's sweep of Providence College, UNH assured itself of at least a share of the Hockey East regular-season title as well as the top seed in the league tournament. As the top seed, the Wildcats receive a bye into the semifinals and will play host to the March 7 semifinal games (12/3 p.m.) and the March 8 championship game (12:30 p.m.) at the Whittemore Center. Tickets for those games will go on sale later this week.
UNH has now won six consecutive Hockey East regular-season crowns – the 'Cats shared the 2005 title and won it outright in '04, '06, '07 and '08. New Hampshire will claim the '09 title outright by virtue of one more point in two games vs. UConn, or if Boston College does not win both games this weekend vs. Providence.
Senior defenseman Kacey Bellamy and sophomore forward Jenn Wakefield have been selected for the 2009 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award ballot, as announced by USA Hockey.
The NCAA Division I women's ice hockey coaches will select the top-10 finalists from the list of 43 nominees on the ballot with the announcement taking place March 2. Then a 13-member committee will select three finalists, which will be announced March 10, as well as the award winner, who will be named at the March 21 banquet in Boston.
UNH has had 10 selections as a top-10 candidate and three top-3 finishers, including the inaugural recipient of the award, Brandy Fisher, in 1998.
Tickets to the 2009 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award ceremony may be purchased at PattyKaz.com or by calling 719-538-1184. Individual seats are $85, while tables of 10 are available for $800.
Freshman goaltender Lindsey Minton was named Mission Hockey East Rookie of the Week on Monday; she received the same distinction Dec. 15.
Minton backboned UNH to a sweep of the home-and-home series against Providence College with a .923 save percentage and 1.50 GAA.
In Saturday's 4-1 win that clinched the league tournament's top seed for the 'Cats, Minton stopped a flurry of four shots with PC on a 6x3 advantage early in the third period, and that effort preserved a three-goal lead; she finished the game with 16 saves.
Friday on the road, Minton fended off PC, which had a 6x4 advantage for the final 51 seconds, with a pair of saves in the last minute to secure a 3-2 win; she was credited with 20 saves overall.
New Hampshire's 10-game winning streak is the longest active unbeaten streak in Division I. Finishing strong in the regular season is nothing new for these 'Cats. Last year, UNH closed the regular season with 10 consecutive wins as part of a 16-game unbeaten streak (15-0-1). In 2007, UNH went 9-0-2 in the last 11 regular-season games. And in '06, the 'Cats entered the postseason with a 14-game winning streak and 26-game unbeaten streak (25-0-1).
In the last three games, UNH is 5-for-11 on the power play for a 45.5% conversion rate.
UNH is 3-0-2 in its last five games against nationally-ranked teams.
The 'Cats have won all 11 games in which the PK has not yielded a goal. They are 7-1-1 when scoring multiple power-play goals.
The 'Cats rank second in the nation in shorthanded goals with 10. Sam Faber and Jenn Wakefield have three apiece. Raylen Dziengelewski has been on the ice for six of the team's 10 shorthanded tallies. And Kacey Bellamy has been on the ice for seven.
UNH has netted 34 power-play goals this season, and Jenn Wakefield, who has scored 12 power-play goals herself, has been on the ice for 25 of them. Kacey Bellamy has been on-ice for 24 of 34 PPG.
UNH's four first-period goals Jan. 30 at BC matched the team's highest goal output in the opening stanza this season
UNH has competed in four Hockey East shootouts this season and has scored on 1 of 15 attempts overall for a 1-3 record. One of those losses was a 1-0 decision (five rounds) at UConn on Oct. 15.
UNH has posted some impressive numbers during its 10-game winning streak. The Wildcats have scored at least three goals every game and have outscored the opposition 45-16; they have scored a goal in 27 of 30 periods.
New Hampshire has a .143 shooting percentage (.113 overall this season) and has held the opposition to a .075 shooting percentage (.097 overall). The shot advantage stands at 315-214.
The power play has excelled during this 10-game stretch by converting 16 of 49 opportunities for a .327 percentage (.217 overall this season).
Five players, led by Kelly Paton (8-11-19) have recorded double-digit points. Jenn Wakefield (13g, 5a) and Sam Faber (3g, 15a) have 18 points apiece while both Micaela Long (6g, 6a) and Kacey Bellamy (1g, 11a) have 12 points.
Maggie Joyce (2-7-9), Angela Taylor (3-5-8) and Raylen Dziengelewski (1-6-7) have also been consistent point producers during the win streak.
Linsdey Minton has six starts, including each of the last three games, in the past 10 games and her numbers include a 1.67 GAA and .914 save percentage. In four starts, Kayley Herman has a 1.50 GAA and .939 save percentage.
New Hampshire has a 4-1-1 record vs. ECAC teams with wins against St. Lawrence, Clarkson, Yale and Dartmouth. The 'Cats skated to a 1-1 tie vs. Harvard and lost at Colgate. All but the Colgate game were at the Whittemore Center.
A handful of Wildcats are ranked among the individual national leaders. Jenn Wakefield leads the nation in both power-play goals (12) and game-wining goals (seven); she is fourth in goals per game (1.04), fifth in shorthanded goals (three) and 13th in points-per-game (1.56). Sam Faber is also fifth in shorthanded goals (three) and ranks 14th in assists per game (0.85) as well as 21st in points per game (1.31). Kelly Paton is 20th in goals per game (0.69), 24th in points per game (1.28) and 10th in power-play goals (eight). UNH boasts two of the highest scoring defensemen – Kacey Bellamy is third (0.83 ppg) and Maggie Joyce is 20th (0.61 ppg).
The Century Club has welcomed two UNH Wildcats in recent weeks. The most recent member is junior forward Kelly Paton, who recorded her 100th career point with the first of two goals Feb. 14 against Providence. She currently has 42 goals and 59 assists for 101 points.
Senior defenseman and captain Kacey Bellamy became the 40th UNH Wildcat – and just the sixth defensemen – to reach the 100-point milestone with the last of her two points Feb. 8 at Vermont.
The other active Wildcat in the Century Club is Sam Faber, who attained the 100-point milestone Oct. 21, 2007, with the first of her two points at Boston University. Faber became the 13th UNH Wildcat to reach the 150-point milestone with the last of her three points Oct. 11 at Niagara University. Faber supplanted current UNH field hockey head coach Robin Balducci at No. 6 on the career points list with the last of her four points Feb. 8 at Vermont.
The closest active 'Cat to 100 career points is sophomore forward Jenn Wakefield (55-33-88).

The West African country of Niger has granted the United States permission to deploy surveillance drones to gain more intelligence on Islamist fighters in northern Mali.
"Niger has given the green light to accepting surveillance drones on its soil to improve the collection of intelligence on Islamist movements," a senior government source told Reuters Wednesday.
The drones would be stationed at a base in Agadez, which is located near northern Mali, Algeria, and Libya, the source added. The drones would also be used to gather intelligence in northern Africa as a whole.
U.S. Ambassador Bisa Williams talked to the president about economic and military cooperation, according to the source.
Other African countries in which American drones are stationed include Burkina Faso, Morocco, Senegal, Uganda, and Djibouti, according to Al-Jazeera. But the U.S.'s only permanent drone base is located in Djibouti, which borders Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia.
The base in Niger will also host U.S. troops as part of an overarching security operation in the region, CNN reported.
George Little, a spokesman with the Department of Defense, said that what role soldiers in Niger will play "has not yet been defined."
However, one American military source told The New York Times, "This is directly related to the Mali mission, but it could also give Africom a more enduring presence for ISR," referring to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance.
Maman Sidikou, the Niger ambassador to the United States, confirmed that drones will be stationed in his country, but said they will be unarmed.
Nearby Mali is the home of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, an offshoot of the global terrorist organization, and was at the center of last year's takeover of much of the country's north. More than two weeks ago, France deployed troops and warplanes to drive the Islamist insurgents out of Mali.
Right before the French intervention, on Jan. 10, Niger President Mahamadou Issoufou, told the Times,"What's happening in northern Mali is a big concern for us because what's happening in northern Mali can also happen to us."
Robert Densmore, a former American naval flight officer and the editor of Defense Report, told Al-Jazeera that North Africans are more likely to accept having drones in their country, out of the threat posed by al-Qaeda and other linked organizations.
"Many people in North Africa rate the risk from al-Qaeda higher than they did 12 months ago," Densmore told Al-Jazeera.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals defense heeds Coach's words
TEMPE -- Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians has mentioned a couple of times since the start of training camp how he'd like to see his defense get its hands on a few more balls, whether it be deflections, pass breakups or turnovers.
His message appears to be getting through.
The defense has been much more active, especially during Thursday's practice, which was relocated to the team's facility in Tempe because of a soccer match at University of Phoenix Stadium.
A number of defenders, including Yeremiah Bell, Rashad Johnson and Daryl Washington disrupted passes downfield.
No one though had a better day than Tyrann Mathieu, who picked off two passes, including one in the end zone on a ball thrown by Drew Stanton.
"Definitely, by far," Mathieu answered when asked if it was his best day of camp. "Any time you can get turnovers for your team -- I think I had a forced fumble too -- any time you can get turnovers for your team, it puts your offense in a position to score and that usually puts us in position to win."
Said fellow LSU alum Patrick Peterson, "Really excited for him. Hopefully, we'll have to find a spot for him with the first defense."
Right now, Mathieu is running with the second team, but is occasionally getting a snap or two with the first unit on dime packages (six defensive backs).
"I don't think I was making as many plays when camp first started because I had that whole year off," he said. "This week I'm getting more comfortable. I'm getting used to the shoulder pads again and just flying around now."
Near the end of the more than 90-minute padded practice, during live tackling inside the red zone, defensive tackle Dan Williams had his left knee rolled up on and according to the Cardinals is undergoing tests to determine if there was any damage.
Moments after Williams was carted off, defensive end Calais Campbell limped off the field favoring his left leg.
The outdoor practice was the first of camp.
"It's good for us to come out here and face these conditions and just do something different and get a shock to our bodies and check our mindset. It's all mental," Johnson said.
Temperatures hit 100 degrees, though it felt much worse given the humidity.
"At the end of the day, we're going to be playing half of our games in open stadiums. We want to make sure that we can think in the heat and make sure we can execute plays when we're tired," Peterson said.
The Cardinals will be back indoors in Glendale Friday.
"We want to get outside and get a little toughness working in the heat," Arians said. "There's some dog days of camp that need to happen. It's tough to get it in the air conditioning."

Tests were conducted using a stirred-tank melter to vitrify nonradioactive, cesium-laden organic ion-exchange resin. This resin, which is highly effective in removing cesium from solution, was developed to replace the complex sodium tetraphenylborate precipitation process used at the Defense Waste Processing Facility at the Savannah River Site to remove 137Cs from a wastewater solution. The glass produced had a Fe2+/FeTotal ratio that was acceptable for high-level waste glass. No damage to the melter was observed. Lower-bound estimates of overall cesium retention in the glass range from 70.5 to 73.9%. Only 2.1 to 4.3% of the cesium was emitted from the melter. Because between 21.8 and 27.4% of the cesium was not recovered, the overall cesium retention may have been substantially higher.

CUSA Preseason Coaches' Poll
Preseason All-CUSA Team
Realignment led to Conference USA swelling to 14 teams this season. After Houston, Memphis, SMU and UCF all bolted for the Big East - which will operate as the American Athletic Conference in 2013 - CUSA raided FAU, FIU, Middle Tennessee and North Texas from the Sun Belt. It additionally picked up Louisiana Tech and UTSA, both of which were refugees from the WAC after that conference dropped football.
Though many things have changed, one thing is expected to remain the same - Tulsa as conference champion.
The Golden Hurricane are projected to walk through an undefeated league slate as they open the season rated a full 10.19 power points ahead of any other team in the west division, and an even 4 points ahead of the predicted east division champ, East Carolina. If the computer's forecast holds true, the Tulsa-ECU meeting on November 9 in Greenville will determine which team gets home field advantage for the CUSA championship game. The computer says Tulsa wins by 1, and favors the Golden Hurricane by 6.70 points at home in the rematch.
Between them, East Carolina and Tulsa have won 4 of the 8 Conference USA championships ever played with each winning a pair. Tulsa is 2-2 in CUSA title games while the Pirates are 2-0.
Surprisingly, the closest challengers in each division are Sun Belt transplants - Middle Tennessee in the east and North Texas in the west.
North Texas' forecast is particularly worth watching as the computer's preseason forecast has nailed the Mean Green record 10 times since 1995, including 4 years straight from 2007-2010. It has only missed its mark by 1 game on 5 other occasions, including the last 2 years. UNT hasn't been picked to do this well since 2004 when a 9-2 forecast became a 7-4 reality. The program hasn't been predicted to win, and has not won, more than 5 games in a season since then.
MTSU hasn't been nearly as good at matching expectations. It under-performed the computer's forecast by 5 games in 2010 and 2 games in 2011. Last year, it overachieved by 6 games.
One of the worst turnarounds in college football this season could happen at Louisiana Tech as the computer expects a drop from 9-3 a year ago to 4-8 this season.
The Bulldogs are 1 of 4 conference teams with a head coaching change since the start of last season.
Skip Holtz replaces Sonny Dykes who left Louisiana Tech after three seasons to take his high-powered offense prowess to Cal in the PAC-12. Dykes was 22-15 overall with the Bulldogs and 14-7 in WAC games. After guiding the Ruston school to the WAC title in 2011, a follow-up 2012 campaign ended withe school declining an Independence Bowl invitation when it learned it would be paired against Louisiana-Monroe. The school thought it would have options and believes it was misled by the Liberty Bowl about a forthcoming bid that didn't materialize.
Holtz comes in with a need to resurrect his resume. After much success at East Carolina, Holtz' South Florida tenure was a complete disaster. He was booted from the Bulls after turning in progressively worse records in each of his 3 seasons, finishing 3-9 in 2012 after 5-7 in 2011 and 8-5 in his inaugural year (2010). Under his watch, USF posted back-to-back losing seasons for the first time in its FBS history.
Other new head men in Conference USA are Ron Turner at FIU, Todd Monken at Southern Miss, and Sean Kugler at UTEP.
Turner as former Illinois head coach who has been working as an NFL assistant since his firing from Champaign in 2004. He led Illinois to the Big Ten championship in 2001, but three losing seasons followed. During his 8-year stay, the Fighting Illini went to just two bowl games as he compiled a 35-57 record. Overall, 6 of his 8 years saw Illinois end with a losing season.
FIU fired Mario Cristobal on the heels of a 3-9 overall campaign after being picked to win the Sun Belt by most major preseason magazines and websites. The Congrove Computer Rankings forecasted FIU to go 11-1, 8-0. Cristobal's previous squad went 8-4 when it was projected to go 10-2. Athletic Director Pete Garcia termed the 2012 performance as a "total collapse". Cristobal's 6-year records at FIU were 27-47 overall, 20-26 Sun Belt.
Southern Miss brought in Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Todd Monken to replace Ellis Johnson. A rash of injuries contributed to making Johnson's only season in Hattiesburg an unprecedented failure. He inherited a team that was 12-2 in 2011 and reversed it to an 0-12 squad in 2012 for the worst turnaround in FBS history.
The new Southern Miss head coaching search went straight to an old well. Johnson's predecessor was former Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Larry Fedora. The Golden Eagles' new higher was the Cowboys' OC for the last two seasons. And lest anyone forget, former head coach Jeff Bower spent a season in Stillwater as offensive coordinator before he headed to Hattiesburg in 1990 and stayed for 18 seasons.
UTEP hired former player and Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Sean Kugler to replace the retiring Mike Price. Kugler served as an assistant at the school from 1993-2000 and was a 4-year letterman at UTEP in his playing days from 1984-1988. Price's tenure was marked with early success, followed by consistent mediocrity. The Miners won 16 of Price's first 21 games and went bowling in each of his first two seasons, but the school never posted a winning campaign after that. A 6-6 regular season in 2010 produced a New Mexico Bowl invite, but a 52-24 loss to BYU left the team at 6-7 after suffering 6 losses in the last 7 games.
With all of the changes within the conference - teams and coaches - no one should feel they can confidently project Conference USA. Additionally, last season was an anomaly for Southern Miss which could easily bounce back to an above-.500 team.
The computer ranks Conference USA as the worst in college football in 2013, even slightly behind the Sun Belt. And it will continue its decline in status next year when it loses East Carolina, Tulane and Tulsa to the American Athletic Conference. As replacements, the league has attracted Western Kentucky (Sun Belt) and Old Dominion (FCS). It adds UNC-Charlotte (FCS) in 2015 to get back to 14 schools.

Train Concert Tickets
Train got their start in San Francisco in 1994 playing the melodic, sentimental rock that earned them worldwide recognition. Singer Pat Monahan, guitarist Jimmy Stafford, and drummer Scott Underwood were just another hard-working Bay Area band when they cut their self-titled debut and their surprise hit "Meet Virginia." The success of that single led to opening slots with Cracker, Hootie and the Blowfish, Counting Crows, and Barenaked Ladies. From there the band started working with Bob Dylan/Neil Young producer Brendan O'Brien on their breakthrough follow-up Drops of Jupiter. The song "Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)" was an unabashed success, winning the band hordes of followers, two Grammys, and moving busloads of Train concert tickets. Train released two more albums before embarking on a three year hiatus to be with family and friends and take a break from the relentless series of Train tour dates. The band returned to their hometown of San Francisco to work on 2009's Save Me San Francisco. Those sessions yielded the hit tracks "Hey Soul Sister," "If It's Love," and "Marry Me." In 2014, Train released Bulletproof Picasso with the hit single "Angel in Blue Jeans."
Train Tour Schedule
Train opened for Shakira in Bogota, Columbia and toured with Maroon 5 in 2011. Now they're back on tour in support of their most recent album Bulletproof Picasso! Train will be playing with such artists as Christina Perri, Ed Sheeran, Better Than Ezra, O.A.R., Daughtry, and Matt Nathanson, so check out the 2015 Train schedule, and get cheap Train tickets for a concert near you.

I have found my next project. "Dress a Girl Around the World"
They are taking handmade dresses to girls in impoverished countries. The pattern I will be using is actually a cute little dress made from a simple (yet pretty) pillow case. If you'd like to donate pillowcases you can send to me at GeminiRed Creations, PO Box 1206, Lithia Springs, GA 30122-7206. Or you can make a cash donation here and I will purchase pillowcases and supplies as well as package and send the completed dresses. My goal is to provide 20 dresses for them to give to little girls!
Thank you,
Hello friends. The colleciton of aprons is complete and now I'm on to other endeavors using my creative talents. I hope you will consider helping me so that I can help others!
Craft Hope is now taking donations of skirts for women and young girls. I want to come up with my own fabric doll pattern so I can make a bunch of dolls to give to little girls in need!
And, as always, I donate a portion of everything I sell to the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. You are welcome to make a donation here toward items I sell so that I can give more to CCFA or please refer people to my site so that I may increase my sales overall. I am currently selling on Etsy, you can contact me on Facebook, and soon my new and improved website will be fully functional at www.GeminiRedCreations.com.
Thanks for your support!
~love, heather~
Hi everyone! I recently came across an awesome blog post about aprons for Haiti (see here - http://imaginegnats.blogspot.com/2012/06/craft-hope-aprons-for-haiti.html) and so I had to look into this further. Many of you probably know that I started my little GeminiRed Creations business because of the want/need for an apron. A little over a year later I still make aprons, but I also make just about anything that strikes my fancy or that people ask me to create.
So, of course, I knew I had to get involved with making these aprons. From what I can tell many people have been sending 3 aprons. I'd love to send at least 10 (although, on here I've set a lofty goal of raising $1,000 for this). I'm setting up this page to raise money for purchasing fabric and supplies and to continue doing events like this.
Years before opening (and eventually closing) my salon I always knew that while owning a business I wanted to "give back" and do for others. My goal has always been to give a portion of what I create and earn to those less fortunate or to help find a cure for things such as Crohn's and Colitis. I give 10% of what I earn to them and would love to create wonderful products that inspire people to purchase them so that I can continue to give. As well, as help me with projects like Craft Hope Aprons for Haiti.
I appreciate your help, and as always your love and support! Thank you for always helping me make my dreams come true!

Ruptured sewer line in Oceanside saps city sewer fund
The emergency repairs will deplete the reserve account for emergency sewer repairs
The city has increased rates five times over the past five years, which has enabled it to pay back the debt on time, but has left little money to replace the aged parts. The Haymar wastewater line that ruptured Tuesday, for example, had been scheduled to be replaced for several years but work was postponed due to a lack of money.
Instead, the city has been patching up breaks and ruptures as they come, which in the long run costs residents more, Dale said.
"The refinancing was an expensive way to run a business, and we need to stop that," she said.

Subject: [school-discuss] one more reason to switch
Apologies if this has been reported previously:
*(CNN)* -- True or False: Switching from a Windows-operated computer to a
Linux-operated one could slash computer-generated e-waste levels by 50%.
The answer is: TRUE
A UK government study in late 2004 reported that there were substantial
green benefits to running a Linux open source operating system (OS) on
computers instead of the ubiquitous Windows OS, owned by Microsoft. The main
problem with Windows users was that they had to change their computer twice
as many times as Linux users, on average, thereby effectively creating twice
as much computer-generated e-waste.
The report, titled, "Office of Government Commerce: Open Source Software
Trials in Government - Final Report" reported the following:
"There are also potential Green Agenda benefits, through reducing the energy
and resources consumed in manufacturing replacement equipment, and reducing
landfill requirements and costs arising from disposal of redundant
"Industry observers quote a typical hardware refresh period for Microsoft
Windows systems as 3-4 years; a major UK manufacturing organisation quotes
its hardware refresh period for Linux systems as 6-8 years."

Growth in essential work
While everyone seems to be talking about cuts and downsizing it is heartening to hear of a business that is actually expanding. Over the past five years Centrex Maintenance of Chartham, Kent has grown from nothing to a 50-strong workforce, and is now recruiting again.
We specialise in those essential jobs that most people dont give a second thought to as long as they are done well, of course, says managing director Toby Hutchinson. We work across the whole of Kents highways, keeping them in good order. Everyday my team are out across the county litter picking, hedge cutting, verge strimming, setting out (and clearing away) cones and signs.
Weve successfully grown the business by instilling pride in doing a good job in our workforce. When were recruiting were looking for people who are hard-working and dependable. It may not be the most glamorous of jobs, but I believe we make a really positive difference to the experience of living in and visiting the county of Kent.
Two and a half years ago Centrex Maintenance moved into their current home in a business unit on the Stour Valley Business Park, Chartham. We chose this location because of its central position, with excellent links to the Kent road network. Both the M2 and M20 are easily accessible, and from there we can easily get to any other route on the Kent highways network.
Stour Valley Business Park is certainly proving a popular place for a number of businesses the last remaining unit has just been let to a new tenant who will be starting up a micro brewery later in the year. This is a really positive sign, commented Simon Skelton, projects manager of Stour Valley Estates. Luckily for anyone who might be interested in this business park we already have planning permission for a range of additional units on the site, and well be taking a view shortly about when to begin construction.
For more information about Centrex Maintenance please call 01227 731888.

While his career may be eclipsed by the shadow of his elder brother, Lucius' life is noteworthy in several respects.
Asiaticus served under his brother in Spain, and in 208 BC took a town on his own. He was sent to the Senate with the news of the victory in the Spanish war, circa 206 BC.. In 193 BC, he was elected praetor, with Sicily as his province, with the influence of his brother; however, Scipio's declining influence was not sufficient to get him elected consul in 191 BC. He was finally elected consul in 190 BC with his co-consul being his brother's old second-in-command Gaius Laelius.
The senate had not much confidence in his abilities (Cic. Phil. xi. 7), and it was only through the offer of his brother Africanus to accompany him as a legate that he obtained the province of Greece and the conduct of the war against Antiochus (Liv. xxviii. 3, 4, 17, xxxiv. 54, 55, xxxvi. 45, xxxvii. 1).
The loser was therefore his co-consul Gaius Laelius who was not a rich man, and who had hoped to make his family fortunes in the East.
As consular commander of the forces sent against Antiochus III, Asiaticus was a bitter enemy of the Aetolians. He refused the peace negotiated with the Aetolians by his brother, thus proving him to be of a strong nature.
He was supreme commander at Magnesia and thus received full credit (at his brother's insistence) for the victory over Antiochus. Upon his return to Rome, he celebrated a full triumph and requested the title "Asiaticus" to signify his conquest of Western Asia Minor.
After his brother's death (circa 183 BC), Lucius was thrown in prison for this supposed theft. He was eventually pardoned by the tribune Tiberius Gracchus), although he was forced to sell his property and pay the state a lump sum. Roman historians report that he refused to accept any gifts or loans from his friends to pay the penalty.
During his brother's lifetime in 185 BC, Asiaticus celebrated with great splendour the games which he had vowed in his war with Antiochus.(Liv. xxxviii. 60) Valerius of Antium related that he obtained the necessary money during an embassy on which he was sent after his condemnation, to settle the disputes between the kings Antiochus and Eumenes.
He was a candidate for the censorship in 184 BC, but was defeated by the old enemy of his family, M. Porcius Cato, who deprived Asiaticus of his Public Horse at the review of the equites (Liv. xxxix. 22, 40, 44). It appears, therefore, that even as late as this time an eques did not forfeit his horse by becoming a senator.
His coins are the only ones of his family to survive.
He was taken prisoner in his camp along with his son Lucius, but was dismissed by Sulla uninjured. He was, however, included in the proscription in the following year, 82 BC, whereupon he fled to Massilia, and passed there the remainder of his life. His daughter was married to P. Sestius (Appian, B. C. i. 82, 85, 86 ; Plut. Sull. 28, Sertor. 6 ; Liv. Epit. 85 ; Flor. iii. 21 ; Oros. v. 21 ; Cic. Phil. xii. 11, xiii. 1 ; Cic. pro Sest. 3 ; Schol. Bob. in Sest. p. 293, ed. Orelli). Cicero speaks favourably of the oratorical powers of this Scipio (dicebat non imperite^ Cic. Brut. 47).

Maine South was defeated for the first time in 29 games on Friday, a 29-17 loss to Schaumburg that few saw coming.
Defending 6A champion Cary-Grove dropped its first Fox Valley Conference game since 2007, a 27-6 loss to a Crystal Lake Central team it beat 40-0 in Week 1 last season.
Soldier Field on Sunday.
Providence and Mount Carmel, Catholic League behemoths with 19 state championships and generations of rich tradition between them, went a combined 0-2 against the beleaguered Public League.
While Simeon's stable of talented athletes was no secret, nobody outside the Wolverines locker room expected 700 yards of offense and a 47-41 victory over Mount Carmel.
The biggest shocker came courtesy of Morgan Park, which pitched a second-half shutout to hand mighty Providence a 16-14 defeat.
Providence, which returns nine starters after finishing second in Class 6A last fall, scored on its first possession but had trouble with Morgan Park's athleticism the rest of the way.
Morgan Park succeeded on two-point conversions following both touchdowns, a 1-yard run by Devone Williams and a 35-yarder by Dae'Shaun Hurley.
"I think we sent a big message to everybody that CPS is a force to be heard from now," said Hurley, who has the unenviable task of replacing four-year starter DaRon Brown at quarterback. "Both of us were underdogs. Since I've been here, CPS hasn't really made any noise in the state playoffs, but we plan to go all the way this year.
"We've got a lot of love for Simeon, until the third week when we play each other … but then after the game it's going to be all love for them again. I think they're in 7A and we're in 6A. We hope they win 7A and we can take 6A."
Loyola impressive in shutout: The graduation of 10 Loyola starters left just one remaining from what might have been the state's best defense last season.
That's one more point than Loyola's new defense allowed in its debut.
Coach John Holecek's stellar reputation grew stronger Saturday after his Ramblers, with one returning starter on each side of the ball, held talented Evanston runner Rendell Massie to 26 yards on 17 carries in a 35-0 Loyola victory.
Loyola allowed an average of 6.4 points a game last fall, giving up seven points or less in eight of its 13 games. The Ramblers dropped a 21-14 decision to Class 8A champion Maine South in a state semifinal.
Smart switch: Thornton's top returning receiver is now its quarterback, while the quarterback who accounted for nearly 3,000 yards of offense last year is playing a variety of roles.
The unusual move looked good Saturday when Charles Knowles threw four touchdown passes — two to Dimitrius Hardwick — in a 55-0 victory over Hillcrest.
Double duty: Habeeb Durojaiye found himself in each end zone with the ball in his hands in the final 74 seconds of Gordon Tech's game on Saturday. The result was a 28-24 Gordon Tech victory over Leo.
With Gordon Tech trailing 24-22, Durojaiye took a slant 60 yards to give his team the lead with 1 minute, 14 seconds remaining. Then with 21 ticks left on the clock, Durojaiye came up with an interception in the end zone to preserve the victory.
Maddie's Aurora Christian debut a winner: Anthony Maddie, who transferred from Joliet Catholic to Aurora Christian in April but was not cleared to play by the Illinois High School Association until Friday, threw five touchdown passes in his debut a day later.

A one-stop online resource for national statistics on agriculture was launched in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
The National Bureau of Statics (NBS) partnered with the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) to establish the website. Through the initiative, it will now be easy for researchers and other information seekers to access vital data, especially on agriculture and food, on the website www.countrySTAT.org.
The Web-based information would provide improved access to better quality statistics on food and agriculture at the national and sub-national levels.
Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperation minister Stephen Wassira said in a speech read on his behalf by the ministry's director for policy and planning, Mr Emmanuel Acheyo, that the establishment of the database would help policymakers to come up with appropriate strategies.
He said policymakers, especially in the agriculture and food sector, had for many years been unable to come up with proper plans due to the lack of adequate statistics. "With the Web-based information system it will be easier for policymakers to integrate evidence based policies that would help in economic development of our country," the minister said.
Speaking during the launch, NBS project director Said Aboud said the bureau would conduct countrywide training to that would enable NBS staff to access and collect valid information during the collection of statistics.
He said NBS would also provide special data recording instruments like computers and other accessories to all district councils in the country to facilitate the process.
"We will make sure that through training, the current tendency by farmers to provide statistics through observation is done away with," Mr Aboud said. The FAO resident representative, Dr Louise Setshwaelo, lauded Tanzania for becoming the first in network of 17 African countries to launch the database.
CountrySTAT is a FAO initiative supported by a $5.6 million (Sh7.3 billion) grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The initiative aims to improve the quality, accessibility, relevance and reliability of food and agriculture statistics in 17 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Rachel Carson Chautauqua
Monday, 14 April, 2014 | Starts at 07:30 PM
Alumna Fiona Reid '00 will present herself as Rachel Carson on the 50th Aniversary of Carson's death, and in honor of Make Way for Monarch's call to make April 14th a 'Day for action and contemplation of Monarchs and our other imperiled pollinators.'
Rachel Carson
Senator Ribicoff, in welcoming Rachel Carson to the Senate Hearings on activities relating to the use of pesticides, said Miss Carson, on behalf of the committee, we certainly welcome you here. You are the lady who started all this. In Silent Spring she challenged the experts, questioned government, technology and progress itself. Silent Spring has been recognized throughout the world as one of those rare books that change the course of historynot through incitement to war or violent revolution, but by altering the direction of mans thinking. (Paul Brooks).
But her trilogy of the sea, written before Silent Spring, shows us her love of life and the spectacle and mystery of it. In spite of the scientific nature of her subjects her voice is allied with the non-specialist as she gently brings the reader into the world of her own experiences. The world of nature, she said, was available to anyone . . Who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea and sky. . .
To anyone who feels the wounds of the earth and wonders how to penetrate the barrier of public indifference Carson is an example of strength, determination against all odds, and an antidote to the feelings of hopelessness we all sometimes experience. Carson gives me the courage to go forward believing.
Fiona Reid
'My love of nature comes from the hot sun, the wide open spaces, the dust of dirt roads, and the sight of the Southern Cross hanging like a celestial kite in the clear African sky. My understanding of it was challenged and stretched by four years at Prescott College. As Education Director of the Highlands Center for Natural History I see, clearly, the importance of exposing young children to the wonder of nature. Each time I perform this chautauqua I am reminded of the questions, the ethics, the influences, and the values in my life. In many powerful ways Rachel Carson is a living inspiration, encouraging me to stand up and speak for the earth. Through her words I find one way to do so.'

Wife to Mike Sept. 2008
My first appt. is not until Dec. 6th. Since my last pregnancy was ectopic in August, 2011, I've had my hcg levels monitored since the day after I missed my period for this pregnancy. My first hcg was 118 (11/7), the second was 300 (11/9), and yesterday I was 900. The nurse at my OB's office said she was happy with the hcg levels and didn't think I needed an appt unless I started to bleed or cramp, and that the numbers looked good for a pregnancy in the uterus!!! The Dr. sent me for more labs today, they said something about regular prenatal labs, not sure exactly what that means. I'm still very cautiously optimistic and can't wait for the appt in December.
Not sure yet. We've been TTC for over a year. In Aug, my OBGYN said to use OPKs for the next two cycles and to come back Nov 15. At that point I'd either be pregnant or we'd discuss our options. Well, I'm pregnant thanks to the OPK! So, we'll see what he says on Thursday.

About Me Intermediate
I have some wide-fitting, 27.5 boots (DC Gizmo Snowboard & Head Cube3 LTD ski boots), and it's a challenge to get them into this bag. I also own the other Salomon Gear bag, which is wider/roomier than this bag, but still a slight challenge. I prefer the top loading bags instead (DaKine & K2).

Collectible Matching Numbers Mustang
What Does It Mean And Does It Really Matter?
"Matching numbers." We hear it all the time. It's tossed out proudly by car owners at shows. We see it used as a selling point for Mustangs for sale in classified and website advertisements. Even Speed TV commentators describe high-dollar Mustang muscle cars as "numbers matching" during televised, high-profile collector car auctions.
But what does it mean for '65-'73 Mustangs, and does it really have an affect on a car's desirability, collectability, and value?
According to Wikipedia, "numbers matching" comes from the collector car market to describe "the authenticity of collectible or investment quality cars, generally meaning that a particular car still has its major components or has major components that match what the car had when it was new." Major components are listed as the frame, engine, transmission, and rearend, which, in some cases, have the car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) stamped in them. To concours judges and collectors, especially those who deal with desirable Mustangs like Shelbys and Bosses, the meaning can go much deeper, right down to casting numbers and date codes on individual parts.
"Matching numbers can even get into how everything matches the build sheet and buck tag," says Ed Meyer, a noted Mustang judge, restorer, and expert on factory originality. "It's from bumper to bumper- even the bumpers are dated. The taillight buckets on '69s have a code for when they were assembled. Wiring harnesses have ID tags. There were tags on the seats with a date code; you can't see them unless you take the springs out. They had to have all that stuff in case there was a problem so they could trace it down."
Corvette enthusiasts were likely the first to place such importance on matching numbers. When Corvette owners and restorers began taking cars back to original condition, they used the various ID and date-code stampings to determine if the car and its parts were original. As other vehicles reached collectible status, the matching numbers game spilled over into the Thunderbird, Mustang, and collectible musclecar hobbies.
What Does It Mean?
In its most basic form, a matching numbers Mustang has a metal door data plate ('65-'69) or Mylar vehicle certification label ('70-'73) with a VIN that matches the VIN stamped into the inner fender apron, as seen with the hood open and located in a fender cut-out on the driver's side. Because the VIN includes the engine code, you can also take it to mean that the engine must be the correct type for the car. For example, a '67 Mustang with a later 351 Windsor engine would not be considered numbers matching. The data plate (sometimes called warranty plate) also includes codes for the body style, exterior color, interior trim, scheduled build date, transmission, and rearend axle ratio, so those items are also considered in the matching numbers identification. On '68-'73 Mustangs, the VIN on the data plate and inner fender should match the VIN on the windshield VIN tag, which was mandated by the federal government beginning with '68 models.
Over the course of four decades, most of today's surviving '65-'73 Mustangs have experienced any number of misfortunes. Many don't have their original engine due to service replacement or a performance swap. Damaged original doors have been replaced with good doors (and data plates) from other Mustangs. Cars with heavy front-end damage have been "clipped," meaning their front-end assemblies (with the stamped VIN) have been replaced with front-ends from wrecking yard donors. In the last two examples, the door data plate won't match the stamped inner fender VIN. Sometimes, data plates are missing entirely. On the later '70-'73 Mustangs, Mylar certification labels are often faded beyond readability or painted over. So there are any number of reasons why a Mustang may not be numbers matching today.

Lebanon's Arabic press digest.
Following are summaries of some of the main stories in a selection of Lebanese newspapers Friday. The Daily Star cannot vouch for the accuracy of these reports.
Mikati adamant to pay salary raise in installments ... and UCC [adamant] to paralyze the state
Ban Ki-moon: Resistance's plane a "reckless provocation"!
Hezbollah and its Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah did well by choosing the timing that gave U.N. Security Council Resolution 1559 an "added value"!
And once again the highest international podium goes on the offensive against the resistance in Lebanon through U.N. SG Ban Ki-moon's adoption of the logic by Israel on the one hand and turning a blind eye to Israeli threats and daily violations of Lebanese sovereignty on the other.
And, like always, the language of the semi-annual report maintained the same wording adopted by the previous fifteen reports that presents the resistance as a "threat to Lebanon's stability."
In conjunction with the announcement of the Union Coordination Committee (UCC) that it would step up its action [to protest government's delay in pay raises], Prime Minister Najib Mikati denied in a news conference held Thursday government's procrastination on the issue of the salary scale.
However, Mikati said referring the scale to Parliament at this moment was tantamount "to throwing a fireball on the economy."
Hezbollah's plan to continue to seize power
U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon's report on the implementation of Resolution 1559 was pretty much the same as previous reports with two exceptions: Hezbollah's launching of a plane over Israel is a breach that could threaten the stability of Lebanon and Hezbollah's role in Syria threatens Lebanon's stability.
Whereas previous reports only called for the disarmament of Hezbollah, limiting its activities given that it is a Lebanese political party and urging countries friendly to the party to "encourage its shift from an armed group into a political party only and be stripped of its weapons for the interest of Lebanon and peace and regional security," the report came to highlight the dangers of the role played by Hezbollah in exploding a regional crisis via Syria or Israel or both.
The Daily Telegraph said in an Oct. 17 article that Hezbollah was using its military bases in the Bekaa Valley to shell rebel positions in Syria.
"They are concentrating on hitting the villages where the Free Syrian Army is, to weaken it before launching a ground attack," it quoted Abu Obeida, a Lebanese resident of the border town of Al-Qaa, as saying. "I have seen the rockets firing; they pass over your head."
Meanwhile, Arab diplomatic sources told Al-Joumhouria that Hezbollah has made a decision to turn Prime Minister Najib Mikati against the Future Movement, in a strategic approach in the run-up to the parliamentary elections.
The plan calls for the outright rejection former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who heads the Future Movement, to return home to Lebanon.
Sources close to Hezbollah: Sleiman, Mikati looking out for personal interests with external [countries]
Ban fears of consequences of 'Ayoub' plane ... says Samaha's involvement a violation of 1559
Hariri speaks about crime of "jihadi duty"
Oqab Saqr was involved in the Syria conflict by aiding Syrian opposition groups.
Al-Liwaa has learned from sources close to Hezbollah that the party was not surprised by March 14's reactions to the "Ayoub" plane. However, assessment of Sleiman's and Mikati's responses required considerable effort by Hezbollah.
"Sleiman's and Mikati's responses were not successful and show that they do not know how to act in the public's interest," one source said. "Those who issued these positions also slipped information provided to them from the outside: they were told the Syrian regime cannot hold up for much longer."
Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri emerged to defend against Hezbollah accusations that his party is involved in the Syria crisis.
In a statement released by his office, Hariri said he had tasked MP Oqab Saqr with following up on the situation in Syria and coordinating with Syrian opposition political parties concerning the Future Movement's media and political support for the Syrian people.
Challenges between Mikati and the UCC ... Next: a two-day strike
After Thursday's strike, which was observed by the education sector and public agencies, the Union Coordination Committee announced it was going ahead with its escalatory measures by holding a general strike on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.
Meanwhile, the government was forced to adopt a policy of self-defense and its head, Najib Mikati, emerged at a news conference to deny procrastination or negligence by the Cabinet.
The UCC said the general strike planned for Wednesday and Thursday next week would include all private and public schools as well as vocational institutions, public departments, ministries and municipalities.
The UCC reiterated its adherence to the terms of the agreement previously reached with the ministerial committees: These terms did not address the issue of paying pay raises in installments or linking the salary scale to securing funds.
Facing up to the UCC strike, Mikati came out to defend his government and its measures, announcing at a news conference that there was no delay in paying salary increases while admitting that it was impossible to pay the entire amount all at once.

I received this wristlet today, and while it's definitely pretty and very well made there is NOT a zippered coin compartment as mentioned in the item description. I currently carry a Vera Bradley wristlet and wanted to try something new. As nice as this item is otherwise, I will be sending it back.

July 3, 2015
ATLANTA (AP) - Faced with up to 228 million dollars in expected budget cuts, Georgia's colleges are looking at laying off employees, increasing student fees and revoking guaranteed tuition rates.
The state Board of Regents voted today to send its budget blueprint to Governor Sonny Perdue, who will make final recommendations to state lawmakers on how to cope with an expected 1.6 billion dollar statewide shortfall this fiscal year.
Like most state agencies and departments, the board is trying to figure out how to cut anywhere from 6 to 10 percent from its budget.
State lawmakers will hammer out a budget when they convene in January, although Perdue is under mounting pressure from lawmakers and other state officials to hold a special session sooner to address the state's financial woes.
Davis said Perdue's heralded "Fixed for Four" tuition plan could fall victim to the cuts. Under the plan adopted in 2006, students were guaranteed one tuition rate for four years at Georgia's public colleges and universities.
Davis said the tuition guarantee program was contingent on colleges getting full funding. A spokesman for Perdue did not return calls for comment.
College officials say the cuts could also mean hiring freezes, layoffs and delays in campus construction across the state.
Employees may have to pay more of their health insurance premiums, which would mean up to $800 a year taken out of their paychecks.
Other cuts include fewer police officers, more part-time faculty in classrooms, no computer upgrades and fewer books and magazines
in campus libraries.

August 29, 2002: Ballmer gestures while speaking to an audience on corporate scandals and dividends during a presentation at the Detroit Economic Club. Tom Pidgeon/Bloomberg
The UpTake: Now that Steve Ballmer has invested in his own NBA basketball team, there's actually enough tech-elite-owned teams to create a standing, and the former Microsoft CEO is firmly in the lead.
If Silicon Valley had its own basketball league, Ballmer's team would be firmly in the lead, with a record of 57 wins and 25 losses (.695 winning percentage) this season; Palihapitiya's Warriors would be in second with 51 wins and 31 losses (.622 winning percentage); Cuban's Mavericks would be in third with 49 wins and 33 losses (.598 winning percentage); and coming in last would be Ranadive's Kings with 28 wins and 54 losses (.341 winning percentage).
Ballmer also takes top honors in the amount paid, reportedly $2 billion to buy the Clippers from Donald and Shelly Sterling. He beat out bids from from the The Geffen Group, which offered $1.6 billion, and a $1.2 billion bid from the Ressler-Karsh Group, according to a L.A. Times report. The team was up for sale following controversy surrounding Donald Sterling, who was caught on tape asking his girlfriend not to bring black people to the games. Had the team not been sold, an NBA hearing was set to take place on Tuesday to in an attempt to force the team from his hands.

Rock Wall Wine Company hosted a popular event yesterday, July 6, at Alameda Point. Islanders who couldn't make it should keep their eyes open for similar events to be staged at the site — which feature fine wine, along with food-truck offerings and live music at a good price ($5-$10).
The event, Food Truck Frenzy 7, included trucks serving BBQ and other gourmet-street items.
These gatherings are family friendly, but you must be 21 or over to purchase wine. Most food trucks ask for payment by cash only.
The July 6 DJ was Dave Stebbins, and a photo booth was also on the scene.
In addition to Bay views, chocolate tastings could be enjoyed by guests, Rock Wall says. Stay tuned.
