A week after Stephanie Williams' body was found in Lubbock, police have arrested a San Antonio man and charged him with killing her.
Lubbock and Lancaster police arrested Kenneth Ray Dunn, 54, in Lancaster and charged him with the murder, said Lubbock Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jonathan Stewart at a news conference Wednesday.
Dunn was arrested just after 9:30 a.m. without incident and remains in custody in Dallas County jail on an arrest warrant requesting $500,000 bail, according to Stewart and Dunn's Lubbock County warrant.
Williams, 43, was found dead at about 8:15 p.m. Jan. 25 on the 4600 block of Locust Avenue, Stewart said. She had blunt-force trauma to the head, possibly inflicted by a tool, Stewart said.
Williams was not a Lubbock resident, nor did she appear to have ties to the area. Police determined she was from the Dallas area, likely, and sent five detectives to Dallas to search for leads.
While there, detectives learned Williams left a truck stop in the Dallas area with a man - believed to be Dunn - in an 18-wheeler the morning of Jan. 25. The two were headed toward Lubbock. Dunn's Lubbock County arrest warrant states Dunn, Williams and her friend Paul Nance, who goes by the nickname "Ice Cream," met at the Chrome Shop Truck Stop.
"Ice Cream" told investigators Dunn frequented the Chrome Shop, using prostitutes as well as buying and smoking crack.
He also told investigators Williams asked him to write down the number and description of Dunn's tractor-trailer "in case something happened to her."
The warrant indicates the friend's description of a newer-model Peterbilt truck with the number 366 and red and orange stripes matched Dunn's tractor-trailer. "Ice Cream" also described the yellow top, brown jacket, blue jeans and black boots found on Williams' body in Lubbock.
The friend's description of the man who drove off with Williams also matched Dunn's appearance, according to the warrant.
Dunn lives in San Antonio but works for Lancaster-based trucking company High Country Transport, Stewart said.
Police confirmed Dunn made a delivery to Lubbock on Jan. 25, Stewart said.
Investigators found warehouse records showing Dunn arrived at 6:07 p.m. Jan. 25 to an East Lubbock warehouse about 1.5 miles away from where Williams' body was found later that evening, according to the warrant.
The warrant states investigators also used global positioning data for Dunn's truck and video surveillance from the Lowe's Warehouse in the 4400 block of Locust Avenue to pinpoint Dunn's vehicle near the location where Williams' body was found.
Officials continue to investigate why Williams and Dunn may have been together, the exact whereabouts of the crime scene and whether there is physical evidence connecting Dunn to the crime.
"There's still a lot of work yet to be done to bring this case to completion, but we are pleased to have reached this point in a relatively short amount of time," Stewart said.

We are just about half way through our journey of 31 ways to celebrate the day. We have been focusing on simple things to do that help us slow down the pace of our life by creating intentional moments of fun, thinking of others and doing deliberate tasks that renew our perspective.
So, today is about relationships. When we live busy lives, it can sometimes be easy to fall into the trap of seeing people as distractions. We are trying to get something done at work but the co-worker stopping by is more of an interruption to us than a chance to build a relationship. We are trying to get the dishes done, but our kids want us to sit down and read them a book. A friend calls needing help with something and we consider it more of a burden than a chance to serve and show we care.
Today's Simple Way #15 is to spend one-on-one time with someone today. Don't worry about quantity of time, but rather quality. Sit down and play your child's favorite board game with them. Take a cup of coffee to a friend and catch up. Grab a late dinner with your spouse. Whatever you do, focus on making that person feel valued and important to you.
Questions to Ask Yourself:
Does that person know I care about them?
Do they feel valued by me?
Do they know that they are worth my time?
Do they feel that they can ask me for help or come to me for advice?

Would the issues by any chance be along the lines of those discussed at http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518228?
I have a serious issue regarding some overages on data airtime I need to get resolved, but I'm getting nowhere with a) the people at the VZW store and b) the "helpful" lady on the other end of the 1-800 number. What's the best way to get a hold of some Tier 2 folks? Is there a better way than dialing *611 and asking for a supervisor?
Would the issues by any chance be along the lines of those discussed at http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518228?
It looks similar, but I don't think it's the same. Here's what happened, in case any of you can help?
I was given a free Palm Treo in April (start of previous billing cycle). I activated it and bought the required monthly airtime package. That was on 4/20 (Monday). Later that week, I realized I couldn't use it with my work email like I hoped, so I reverted back to my old phone. I canceled the airtime package at the same time. That was on the night of 4/23 (Thursday). So I look at my current statement it shows that I'm 301 minutes over my plan. I narrowed it down to over 8 hours of continual "data airtime" on 4/24, starting at about 9:30AM, running through just after 6:30PM. It's broken up into random size chunks of 70, 80,110, etc. minutes. I have no flippin' clue what happened, but whatever it was counted against my airtime. Any ideas how I can approach this with Verizon? I tried a couple times, but since I use Get It Now at random times throughout the billing cycle (a few minutes here and there for ringtones, etc.), they think these charges are valid (Sir, since you do use the internet at other times throughout the month....) Grr.
Here's an example from the Bill. I know the formatting is jacked, but the time/date is at the front, and the minutes used is at the end.

Yeah, that sounds somewhat different. Seems like the PDA data usage was charged at a time when you didn't have your PDA data feature on the account. Could be something with how all of the prorating happened, could be something that was in error perhaps, but you are right, you'd definitely need to speak to someone knowledgeable at VZW (which is something that's not exactly easy to stumble on) to get this actually resolved.Originally Posted by Hawkmoon
Try using this link on the VZW web page:
Briefly describe your problem with an explanation of how you would like to see it resolved. Maintain professionalism. You can just give your email address. I provided my cell phone number as well. I was very pleased with the outcome. This was after I tried the store, several csr's, and the warranty department. The girl who responded to my email was sincerely concerned about my problem and was able to get it resolved to my satisfaction.
Its worth a shot at least.
Thanks for the feedback guys but I got it figured out after a 45 minute call to Customer Service yesterday, complete with a Supervisor escalation
Here's the gist
-I canceled the airtime package, along w. the phone, at 11:30PM on 4/24 (not 4/23, I got my dates wrong). Because I dropped the airtime package before the nightly billing process ran, all data airtime accumulated since the previous night's billing process was charged against my airtime. And since my !#%!# PDA stayed connected to the internet pretty much all day, all those minutes hit my airtime instead of being free. They fixed it be rerating that bill cycle as if I'd paid the entire month of the airtime package. So I got all but $25 credited back to my account, which I'm ok with. So keep this in mind next time you decide to cancel your airtime package. At the time I was on America's choice so it counted against my minutes.

The Permanent Home!
The recent storm systems that raced across the deep south (bringing massive carnage, total destruction of housing and many fatalities) have exposed a huge and ongoing flaw in the construction of most modern American homes.
Modern day stick and brick houses are not the enduring haven of security for our families that a home should be, and unfortunately the problem is not a lack of ability, resources or funding. (read more)
An Overview of Construction.....
For many years the Earth Construction Industry has concentrated on seismic resistant construction in the Western U.S. resulting in acceptable building technology for most areas, however for many reasons the rest of the country has been resistant to or ignorant of this remarkable product.

In the first part of my discussion with CCP Games' Chief Marketing Officer David Reid, we talked about the unique culture of EVE Online - and its mixture of free-to-play and subscription play mechanics, expressed through three effective virtual currencies - PLEX, ISK and Aurum.
Long before Blizzard scandalized Diablo players with Diablo III's now-abandoned Real Money Auction House, CCP was giving players the chance to buy PLEX for real money, sell it in the game for large amounts of ISK and buy better ships and equipment*. There was something of a revolt when Aurum was introduced in 2011 as a currency only usable for cosmetic purchases - avatar flair, in effect - with the by-now-legendary $80 monocle providing a rallying point for dissent. However, after the initial shock this third currency has slid into Eve Online's economic model.
Dust brother
However, Aurum has another use. In 2013, CCP launched Dust 514, a multiplayer first-person shooter for the PlayStation 3. In an unusual piece of cross-platform cross-branding, the ground battles of Dust 514 take place in the same world as the space battles of EVE Online, not just thematically but systemically. Orbiting ships in EVE can be called upon to deliver bombardments on the ground in games of Dust, potentially wiping out whole opposing forces and making it useful to have a friend in high places.
Tie fighter - the FPS action of Dust 514 takes place on the same server "shard" as EVE Online
Dust 514 follows the standard model for free-to-play games, with Aurum acting as the "special currency" - the role usually filled by gold coins or gems. ISK is earned in general combat and used to buy basic equipment to customize each soldier's kit, and to replace the same when the soldier dies and his or her clone needs a new battlesuit. Aurum unlocks what Reid calls "side-grades" - alternate loadouts and special equipment - in effect offering a shortcut to the best equipment setup for a favored style of play. It's what designer Eino Joas described as giving holidaymakers free towels, but charging for the swimming goggles.
Dust 514 has had mixed reviews, with some commenting that, although the tight integration of two totally different games across two totally different platforms is remarkable*, the actual action is not distinct enough from other multiplayer shooters. Nonetheless, a Machiavellian overlay allows for a level of scheming and plotting rarely seen among the uncomplicated pleasures of, say Call of Duty.
Reid recounts a story of the sort of scratch alliance that can be formed between the games: a group of players on fweddit - the Reddit subgroup for factional warfare planning - recruited a gang of Dust players from Evedreddit, and by dropping them on planet after planet and nuking opponents from orbit "cleaned out" a solar system in record time.
Nonetheless, it seems a curious combination. The goal, I suggest to Reid, must be to monetize audiences unfamiliar with PC gaming through the robust e-money system already created for EVE Online.
There is a pause.
"And to make the games you love, and bring joy to players everywhere?" I add, a little awkwardly. Much as Hotline Miami's Jonatan Söderström is deeply concerned about making his bloody-pixeled games equal opportunity gorefests, you can imagine that a company best known for making a game that often resembles Glengarry Glen Ross on the bridge of the Death Star would be sedulous in its customer focus. Reid laughs, and responds:
To be serious - at a high level, EVE is an acquired taste. It's a complicated game. It's a very time-consuming game. It's a PC game, not a console game. And it's a subscription game, not a buy and play or a free-to-play game.
Going through this, and taking into account the learning curve we have, EVE is a great game but it isn't a game for everybody. But we know that there are more things in our crazy sandbox that people could be interested in. So, on some level, we're asking "How can we bring people to this fascinating universe, without making them all play EVE Online, because some gamers don't want to. How can we make, for example, a first-person shooter that lets you feel connected to that giant drama in space, but allows you to play it on the device you own, the genre you like, the payment model you prefer?
Dust was the first example of that. Valkyrie has become the second, in a quite interesting way. It's a moment-to-moment gameplay that is utterly different from EVE. Valkyrie will ultimately be another sibling of the EVE game - there will be opportunities for conflict and cooperation across all three games.
So, the business model of Dust is free-to-play - grind as much as you want but pay to save time - the free-to-play model you see in many games. But the real reason for making it was that we believe that the magic of the EVE Universe can be a lot bigger, but it may not get there all by itself with EVEOnline.
Next: Valkyries and Virtual Reality
*The real-money value of PLEX - along with the altruistic instincts even of the legendarily merciless player base of EVE Online - was demonstrated at the close of the PLEX-driven appeal for Typhoon Haiyan relief work. By donating PLEX to a computer-controlled character, players triggered a $15 donation, leading to CCP ultimately raising over $190,000. Interestingly, this is also a money sink - the PLEX is taken out of circulation (releasing it back onto the market would presumably disrupt the cost of PLEX in ISK), so being, in effect, a movement of capital from the game back into the real world and over to a good cause.
**The integration of Dust is ongoing - this week saw a move to make bombardment a less mechanical process in both games. Previously, Dust players earned the chance to request a bombardment on the ground, which could then be delivered by a ship simply warping into the system in EVE Online, entering orbit and hitting the button. Mechanically, this behaved much like computer-controlled airstrikes delivered as killstreak bonuses in regular multiplayer shooters. As of now, barrages can be unleashed from space at will - but the EVE Online player has to position a suitably equipped ship over the planet for three minutes to build up a barrage- potentially leaving them a sitting duck for an attack by an enemy faction.
You also get Loyalty Points - another pseudocurrency - and a loving replay of the tiny ground-pounders being blown into the air (a) and bits (b) by the orbital bombardment. Which seems to connect nicely with the inherent cruelty that EVE Online often makes a virtue.

These were disseminated on November 3 andĀDecember 28, 2001; September 10,ĀOctober 6, andĀNovember 12, 2002;Ā February 11,Ā September 10,ĀĀand October 18, 2003 andĀ January 4Āand April 15Āthis year. Ā
Thus, there were two messages in 2001, three each in 2002 and 2003 and two so far this year. In 2002 as well as 2003, there were two messages disseminated on September 10, coinciding with the first and second anniversaries of the terrorist strikes in the US.
In the message attributed to him to mark the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist strikes, he said: 'When you talk about the New York and Washington raids, you talk about those men who changed the course of history and cleansed the chapters of the nation from the filth of the treasonous rulers.'
I will become martyr this year: ĀOsama
In the message to mark the second anniversary, he said: 'The confusion caused to the enemy was sufficient to make people wake up from their slumber and rise for jihad for the sake of God. I had the honour of knowing these men. One is honoured by knowing such men.'
Keeping in view his practice of issuing a message on the eve of the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist strikes and remembering the terrorists who had participated in the attacks, one expected him to issue a message on September 10 this year too. I kept awake the whole of that night waiting for the expected message, but intriguingly, no such message has come till the time of the writing of this article.
Instead, a message attributed to Ayman al-Zawahiri, his No 2, was disseminated by Al-Jazeera on September 9. In it, he said:"The Americans are hiding in their trenches. The defeat of US-led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan is only a matter of time. The Americans were between two fires. If they continue they will bleed to death, and if they withdraw they lose everything."
Zarqawi at par with OsamaĀĀ
It is difficult to establish the authenticity of the message and the date on which it was recorded though some analysts feel it must have been recorded after the end of June 2004, since it refers to the interim government in Iraq. Even though the message was telecast two days before the third anniversary of 9/11, there is nothing in it to indicate that it was recorded specifically to coincide with the third anniversary of 9/11.
There is no reference to Al Qaeda or the Taliban by name. There is no recall of the so-called sacrifices made by the terrorists who participated in the attacks of 9/11 in US territory and no homage to them. It just refers to the activities of the Mujahideen in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The absence of any anniversary message from bin Laden so far has revived speculation among the cadres of the various components of the International Islamic FrontĀin Pakistan. This speculation relates his health, to his still being at large and the state of Al Qaeda.
I have been reporting since the beginning of 2002 that Osama suffered a splinter injury during the US air strikes at Tora Bora post 9/11 which affected his speech and that he underwent medical treatment at the Binori madrassa of Karachi till last August, when he disappeared from there.
Laden, Al Zawahiri safe: ĀTalibanĀĀ
Thereafter, while messages attributed to him continued to keep coming, there was not a single report from human sources, who claimed to have seen him. However, sections of the Pakistani media had claimed that after his arrest at Rawalpindi in March 2003, Khalid Sheikh MohammadĀhad told the Pakistani authorities that Osama was alive and that he had met him a few weeks before his arrest in the tribal areas of Balochistan.
This is, however, not corroborated by the report of the US National Commission, which had gone into the 9/11 terrorist strikes.
The absence of an anniversary homage to the terrorists of the 9/11 operation by Osama is interpreted by some as an indicator that either he is already in the custody of the US or Pakistan and will be produced before the world just before the polling day in the US or that he is dead or that his health has deteriorated aggravating the speech disability reportedly suffered by him due to the sharpnel injury.
But since there is no evidence to corroborate any of these interpretations, he must be presumed to be alive and free till there is evidence to the contrary.
Al Qaeda has a new military chief ExpertĀ
The other kind of speculation relates to alleged differences between Osama and al-Zawahiri. Since the occupation of Iraq by US-led forces last year, one had seen some intriguing developments to which I had drawn attention in my past articles. Examples:
The extremely virulent nature of the statements of al-Zawahiri whereas those of Osama were less virulent.
The strongly anti-Musharraf, anti-India and anti-Hindu references in the statements attributed to al-Zawahiri whereas those attributed to Osama, while critical of Pakistan, were devoid of virulent attacks on Musharraf.
Al Qaeda taunting me MusharrafĀĀ
Discrepancies indicating that bin Laden and his No 2 were not in the same place and probably did not have the means of co-ordinating the contents of their respective messages.
Frequent warnings, claims of responsibility and other statements issued by organisations with different names after the terrorist strikes in Istanbul, Madrid, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. While some of them projected themselves as affiliates or brigades ofĀAl Qaeda, there was hardly any reference to bin Laden in the statements relating to the other terrorist strikes.
The Islambouli Brigade of Mohammad Islambouli, which had practically disappeared from public view after its reported merger with the Islamic Jihad of Egypt led by Al-Zawahiri after the formation of the IIF in February 1998, is back in the news under its original name since July. It has claimed responsibility for the failed attempt to kill Shaukat Aziz, Pakistan's prime minister, in the last week of July, the blowing-up of two Russian planes on August 24 and the explosion outside a Moscow metro station on August 31.
Al Jazeera suppressed Laden tapes
Interestingly, while the claims relating to the attack on Aziz referred to it as the Islambouli Brigade ofĀAl Qaeda, any reference toĀAl Qaeda was absent in the statements relating to the terrorist strikes in Moscow.
The absence so far of any follow-up message from bin Laden to his last message of April 15 in the wake of the Madrid bombings, in which he had offered a so-called three-months' truce to West European governments if they distanced themselves from US policies.
Follow-up statements have come after the expiry of this period on July 15 in the form of warnings to Italy, Denmark, Indonesia and Malaysia, but these bore the names of organisations such as the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigade, the Abu Bakr al-Seddiq Brigade, the Khalid Ibn al-Walid Brigade, the military wing of al-Zarqawi's Tawhid Wa al-jihad (Unification and Holy War ) etc. The messages did not refer to bin Laden.
Is the net closing in on Osama?
These developments have given rise to the following questions: Is bin Laden still alive? If alive, is he still healthy enough to be active and leading? Is he in US or Pakistani custody to be produced before the US voters on the eve of the US presidential elections? Are there differences between him and his No 2?
HasĀAl Qaeda or the IIF split? If so, why?
One can only draw attention to these questions. One is not in a position to answer them convincingly due to inadequate evidence.

When I told Chris, the real life counterpart of one of the characters in the film, that I was going to post the script for The LAN, he hung his head and sighed, "Don't do it."
Posting this script is basically the same thing as posting a naked picture of myself, passed out at a party with vomit caking on my chest. It is embarrassing to show the world this.
And yet I do. I do it with gusto. I'm happy to give people the opportunity to see potential in the aftermath of such a grotesque train wreck.
This is something I devoted a good portion of myself to and this is something that I, by every objective definition of the word, completely failed at. But it was worth it. I love this hideous baby and chances are you might too.
Note to self, never make someone who hates public speaking and has a very strong fear of it, do a huge monologue.
Yeah, but what about the footage? Thats what I wanna see.
I stand by my word! Don't do it!
I'm sorry Chris it needs to be done. If only for the sake of preservation, all footage needs to be uploaded, uncut, unedited, and for all to see. Peter has taken a step towards accepting this film as the alchol fetal syndrom, extra chromosone'd, bastard love baby that is truly his own. And he should completely accept it for what it is and what it stands for, and perhaps even one day, he will even love it. For all involved it was a learning experiance, a first real try, and one hell of a ride for the rest of us. I admit my engagement in the process was quite limited, so perhaps i look back on this time we shared with a less jaded perspective then the rest. One day it will happen, and we will all enjoy it. Together. Just like that one time in Gerken's basement.
Im sure people know but it should be mentioned again that this was way before Stay Alive. I never did end up going to see Stay Alive, it just looked so bad… ill rent it one day and watch it. I would much rather watch it without giving them any money though.

Comments about special cleansing gel:
Finally a simple gel cleanser that gets the job done without drying your skin. I used it after taking off my makeup with the Demalogica PreCleanse Balm. This cleanser is very gentle. I wouldn't use it on it's own if I were wearing makeup--especially the waterproof type. Instead this is great after your chosen method of makeup removing or in the morning when your face just need something gentle.
--I received this product free for testing--

Secretary of State John Kerry praised Yankee Stadium for recognizing the city of Boston after the horrific bombing that occurred at the Boston Marathon on Monday.
"This is unusual but a couple of days ago at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees posted the Boston Red Sox logo and they sang 'Sweet Adeline' after the third inning I take, but it was a great tribute to the way America comes together," the former U.S. Senator of Massachusetts said proudly.
The Boston Red Sox favorite, of course, is Neil Diamond's 'Sweet Caroline' traditionally played during the eighth inning.
About an hour and a later, Kerry corrected his gaffe during the hearing.
"Mr. President – um Mr. Chairman, I, um, you know, maybe its the confusion, not the confusion but its the emotion of actually getting to the point where I praise the New York Yankees and the tribute to Boston and I'm not used to giving the Evil Empire credit for something, but with my head and heart in Boston, I think I said 'Sweet Adeline,' which is Ted Kennedy's grandfather, Honey Fitz's, favorite song, and I meant Sweet Caroline and I want to make sure everybody knows that I can sing Sweet Caroline but I ain't singing it here for you now," Kerry explained. "I, just – my head was – whatever – jumbled up."

I think that getting the USB keyboard driver functional very early in the startup process is going to be hard. It's rather complicated to get USB running, you need PCI attachment, memory allocation, bus space allocation, etc. What I had in mind was a different solution. In machines that have a USB aware BIOS there will be some kind of legacy emulation, or at least a call to get keyboard input. So early in the boot process we attach a console driver that uses the BIOS code to access the keyboard. When the kernel USB driver starts it will take over the console. Taking over the console "on-the-fly" will require some minor changes to the wskbd driver, but I think I have those pretty much figured out. Getting access to the USB keyboard will be more problematic and rather machine dependent. I'd like to make the changes to wskbd pretty soon, both so that I can use my USB keyboard without a local patch, and so that the iMac port can work with out local patches. -- Lennart

Key components of mobile protection
Mobile devices are changing the way that businesses operate. With so many different endpoints, IT experts have a much more challenging landscape to protect. Not only is it difficult to juggle so many different devices, but the compact devices are also easy to lose.
This white paper outlines the ways you can build on mobile security. Deploying solutions and developing policies can help support a protected organization. The areas include:
- Mobile-device policy and management.
- Data in motion.
- Data at rest.

Well I've been pretty silent on here this last week. Why? Because all of my words have been going into my NaNo project. And guess what!! Now that I have my story all plotted out, it's super easy for me to make my daily word count goals. I'm talking SUPER easy…as in, I can regularly write over 1,000 in a 30 minute sprint.
So my RoW80 goals for November were pretty much to do NaNo. And that is what I've been doing. So far, on the evening of the 9th day, I've written over 27,000 words. That means I'm averaging over 3,000 words a day. That's just crazy. If I keep this up…or should I rephrase that…after keeping this up I'll have a complete rough draft by then end of the month!
That's just crazy talk. And it's very exciting. I can't wait to have it all written, put together in 1 document, and then I'll print it and grab a red pen…because honestly it has to be a red pen…and read what I've been working on for the last couple months. That also terrifies me, but mostly I'm excited.
I hope everyone else is having as much success as I am.

I noticed this short film on another blog a little while back and have been telling people to watch it ever since. Jeff Harris is a photographer hailing from Toronto Canada (probably another reason for the certified amazingness). He embarked on a project back in 1999 which involved him taking a self portrait every single day – a visual diary basically. However, Jeff's life took a detour in 2008 when he was diagnosed with cancer and every moment of his battle with it is covered here.
The photo a day/visual journal concept is certainly nothing new – but Jeff's photos, combined with his commentary on the film and it's effect on his outlook to life really make for a bit of a roller coaster of emotions.
Anyway, it's a cracking little short film – view it below and head over to Jeff's homepage for more info and work. Do be warned though, there are a few graphic images involving his surgery towards the end of the film.

You can just use the pages you want!
WOW, I have gotten some pretty nasty comment about this activity, basically saying that YW should not be thinking about this kind of stuff and focusing on College, jobs healthy relations, while I totally agree with the fact the girls need to be ready for the REAL WORLD, this is a "FOR FUN" activity, if you think these YW are not thinking about this stuff, go look at Pinterst. I would hope we don't forget that these girls like to have fun and sometimes its ok to just relax and have fun.

The Art of the Possible
I could feel my gut tightening and my brows furrowing as I pored over the spreadsheet on my computer screen. Those numbers weren't looking good, and no matter how I moved them around, they added up to one conclusion: I had a cash-flow problem.
As we're all too aware, daily life is full of challenges like this. Like everyone, I find myself continually balancing conflicting needs and handling "over-constrained" problems—and like everyone, I undergo my share of stress over this. But this is yet another area of life that has been informed by my flying.
Flying continually presents opportunities to practice what might be called the "art of the possible." From flight planning to in-cockpit decisions, I'm constantly balancing the aircraft's capabilities, environmental conditions, my own skills and abilities, and a host of other constraints to either accomplish, modify, or postpone the intended mission—or decide that the better part of valor is to give it up altogether.
Which brings me back to that spreadsheet. The cost of flying has more than doubled since I started flying—but during the same period, my income has increased about 30 percent, while the cost of living has increased about 33 percent. Put it all together, and it's clear something's got to give—and lately, that something has been flying. And it's killing me!
Now I realize it's both useless and annoying to complain. I'm keenly aware of how lucky I am, by accident of birth, timely opportunity, and my own efforts, to have the life that I have. I am truly blessed to have encountered the people and places I have known and the countless wonderful experiences I've had—including flying airplanes. Still, flying has become so integral to who and what I am that I can't help but feel a pang of regret every time I see a small airplane fly overhead.
But like the journeys I've made in those small airplanes, I know that this is just a part of a larger journey. It's like sitting in a hotel room for a couple of extra days while waiting out the weather. I really want to be flying, but the "art of the possible" says I need to cool my jets for the moment. It just takes longer in this case because the constraints I'm dealing with operate on larger time scales.
So I keep frowning at those spreadsheets, looking for ways to make some numbers bigger and others smaller, so that someday soon I can make that "go" decision and start the process of getting my backside back in the air. I still don't know how I'm going to arrange my life so that every month there's fresh ink in my logbook and black numbers in that spreadsheet, but I will find a way. In a very real sense, my life is at stake—the life I've chosen to live.

If you followed my countdown of last years top 31 albums, you already know that the Silversun Pickups AMAZING sophomore album, Swoon, came in at number six, and is quite simply put, incredible. While I loved this song when the album was initially released (over a year ago!), a current single release has put it firmly back on my radar; and thank goodness, because this song is utterly brilliant.
I found myself especially in need of some rock and roll motivation this morning heading to my first test of the semester (which I somehow managed to get an A on!), and I found myself blasting a little Silversun Pickups; and it was apparently exactly the pick up up (no pun intended) I needed. I can't wait to see them at the Tabernacle next month (June 19th) and rock out live to this amazing band (last time I saw them, I only managed to catch a couple songs of their set, but I got to meet them, and they were amazingly nice). I hope this song turns out to be a massive single for them, because it is certainly one of their best, and is a real indicator of the massive talent these guys (and girl!) have; and it totally deserves to be today's song of the day.

There is one of my friends who hold doubt to nearly anything in the world. It seems that there is nothing excellent in her eyes, but I am going to make her change by showing her online glasses. Believe me, the only thing she would say about online glasses will be: amazing!
As usual, parents may neglect the importance of a high quality pair of prescription sunglasses to their kids. Actually, this kind of sunglasses can best protect kid's eyes. As we all know, children, especially little kids, are usually very naughty and turn a deaf ear to parents' advice or warning. They are not aware of the importance of eyesight protection and just do what they like to do. More than often, their bad habits do some harm to their delicate organs - eyes. So as qualified parents, we have to know more about how to lead our kids to protect eyes correctly. I haven't had a bad of my own yet but I pay a lot of attention to how to make babies grow up healthily because it is my job. According to some statistic, more and more children are suffering from eyesight problem nowadays, which makes parents feel very anxious and nervous. In my opinion, in winter, if we can buy our kids a pair of qualified prescription sunglasses for them to wear when they need to do some outdoor activities, they can really get benefits from the great advantages brought about by the power of that device. I am wondering whether parents will trust my proposal or not but I still want to advocate this wise decision.
I have a single vision prescription and the short-sighted problem often makes me feel painful. I don't know why my friends around me look very comfortable even after wearing the glasses for a whole day. I don't know what's wrong with my glasses but I am aware of the fact that I place more attention to the outlook of glasses rather than the real function. I am, like many other youngsters, eager to catch up with the times to be fashionable. So when making a choice of glasses, I focus on whether it is stylish or not though I know the basic function of the glasses is an important medical device. Recently, I find many people begin to show interest in buying a pair of beautiful prescription sunglasses. According to their explanation, this tool can protect our eyes very efficiently though it is winter now. I also want to know more details about this kind of sunglasses and if it is beautiful and unique, I may probably buy one. Oh, I almost forget another important point that it should be affordable to me because I think the price must be surprisingly high on optical shops. Fortunately, I get the information that many people begin to buy it through online shopping. They tell me that the price of sunglasses on the Internet is much lower than market price, which excites me a lot.
Today is my birthday, and I received a surprise form my new boyfriend - a pair of fashionable woman's glasses! I was naturally very happy seeing this excellent gift, and I loved him so much!
It is going to be my grandma's birthday soon, but I still have no idea of what to buy for her. I once asked her what she needed, but she kept saying that she needed nothing. Besides, everything in the world was very expensive to her. Suddenly, I thought of the cheap glasses that I had seen before in an online eyeglasses store.

Native American Teen-age Girl Medically Kidnapped by State of Missouri
How can a system allegedly allow such a man to make false reports to the police about the parents, and he is the one who goes free, while her parents watch in horror as police and CPS kidnap their daughter from them hours after they rescue her from her assailant? Stranger things have happened; after all, this is the town next to Ferguson, Missouri.'

Spot on man, I respect the guy, but his stuff is overhyped as hell. Great job with this, I laughed my ass off, quite literally, I cannot find it anywhere. Kinda pissin me off actually. But someone needed to do this, and you hit every weakness in his flashes.
"man of few words, man of few talents"
That'n is a good'n.
thats some real true for u right there nice job :)
LOL I love toof.
I think your just jealous. I mean the toof episodes are great, and I couldn't help it but you stated he reuses the same mediocre graphics over when your graphics weren't good. His graphics are nice and smooth and clean and look nice, but ur makin fun of him so thats ok. Aaaaand the whole fact is that toof is an original series, hes just using his own idea to its full extent, no need to kill his buzz. I can't give u any credit for originality here since its a parody on an episode so you didn't even write it urself other then just start bashing logopresents, and when he does the commentary hes just havin fun. All in all this was ok, but I felt the need to defend him, but it was funny, but same jokes used on legendaryfrog. LOL anyways keep on flashing!
Superb work!
That's "stickin' it to the man". I was thinking about making a TooF parody, but I am bogged down with other projects. It will come though. Excellent work!
Your my hero
This is better than any real toof movie. man this kicks some serious ass.
Good work golden cat, your my home boy.

And ThML continues to be used to create Bible modules because it is the best tool for module creators who care about their presentation more than some semantic dream world of markup. To create a ThML Bible or commentary you will need to use the imp format and then just markup within the verses with the markup you want. For example $$$Matthew 1:1 The book of the genealogy of the Christ
From Abraham to the... $$$Matthew 1:2 And Abraham begot Isaac
And Isaac begot Jacob and his brothers $$$Matthew 1:3 ... Then run imp2mod on that input and set its source as ThML and live happily ever after. The imp file probably will not form a valid ThML XML document, but that is unavoidable in this case. --Greg On Nov 29, 2010 11:18 AM, "Brian J.

Two letters and a numeral - P4P - have turned around the life of Jacquie Kyungu Bimuloko (31), a mother of six is from the Luba ethnic group living in the town of Kabalo in Tanganyika province of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Jacquie now has the necessary skills and financial means to believe in a better life, thanks to the World Food Programme's agriculture value chain development programme known as Purchase for Progress (P4P for short). In DRC, this was launched in Kabalo in 2010 by WFP in partnership with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Tanganyika province has tremendous agricultural potential but, until recently, Jacquie could barely meet her family's needs by selling produce in the local market, earning a monthly income of some 9,200 - 14,000 Congolese Francs (about US$ 10-15 dollars). With her husband unemployed, this small amount made it difficult to pay for the education of her children.
The programme aims to support smallholder farmers and provide them with more lucrative markets. It does this by forming them into farmers' organisations and giving them the training they need to grow more and better produce and to earn more from their sales.
In DRC, it facilitated the construction of a small shop in the town of Kabalo where smallholders can purchase seeds and basic agricultural items. The funding for this came mostly from the savings that the P4P-supported farmers' organizations were able to generate through increased production and trade.
A few years after the launch of the project, Jacquie, though illiterate, joined P4P through one of the farmers' organizations called 'Mapendo', which means 'Love' in Swahili, one of the languages spoken locally.
After completing the literacy classes that P4P organizes to empower its beneficiaries, Jacquie looked for a job, hoping that her new skills would allow her to earn more money to support her family.
"Thanks to literacy classes, my life is experiencing a big change, because I can now read, write and count, allowing me to run my small business," says Jacquie.
Shortly after starting to look for work, she learned that a farmers' organization was looking for a salesperson for its store. Jacquie submitted her application and did an interview. She got the position and now earns a monthly salary of 27,600 Congolese Francs (US$ 30).
Jacquie's monthly income has now doubled. She is also able to add a small amount to her income with the sale of some of her own agricultural produce at Kabalo market.
"My monthly salary allows me to pay school fees for my children, to have access to health care, to buy clothes and more importantly to feed my household," she says. "I can also pay for labour to maintain my field because the work at my farm is very time-consuming."
Jacquie has done a great job running the shop in Kabalo and has even been able to save some money. The programme will use this sum to open a second shop in Ngwena Gare, some 90 km away from Kabalo.
Jacquie aims to increase her income by partnering with other cereal traders. Now equipped with the skills and knowledge to run a small business, she is confident of success.

BO2 has been disconnecting me WAY more than normal lately. In the last month or so I've barely been able to connect to a game, and when I do I can't move because of "Connection Interrupted". I'm getting tired of this. Something needs to be done because I can't play any more. If this is only me, fine. But I'd be very interested in knowing why.

The other problem was it would say "You have been disconnected from the Black Ops 2 servers etc etc" in the middle of a game or even on the menu, and that's been happening more frequently.
It's not as though I expect them to release a patch (because I don't actually think it's too much of a problem with them as it is PSN or even my own fault) but I would think that something would be done with the servers if there's any sort of problem (I don't know much about how it actually works so I'd prefer you don't criticize me saying that due to my lack of knowledge ).

Also, do you think they're going to include any Turned/Grief modes, or even a smaller Survival map on Origins like they did with Bus Depot/Town/Farm? They didn't advertise them in the last 2 DLC, so it's definitely possible.

so on cod tv there's custom games with the new camos on ps3 and they've been there for a while now. I thought pack a punch was underwhelming and tbh wasn't that good. The water one was good though. Those were the only two I tried but I'm not spending any more money on BO2.
Hey guys, im currently on cod right now so add me on ps3
screenshot of Le Tombeau in this video. I think that's either a zombie viking or a knight zombie from the dark ages
The intro cinematic proves PTG was right. The video opens with the spark. And apparently Spoiler:- Watch it first:
Something happened to samantha with moon. Also the four characters meet here and I think this is before Richtofen experiments on them because of how confused they are at seeing the zombies. Normally they forget their past but remember each other and the zombies part of the story but I think this will be the opposite.
I saw a theory saying that Richtofen TTd back in time to get his body back or something like that.
Also they really make Takeo look like a pure badass.

Opinions on Ghosts in short: it makes me appreciate what Treyarch did with BO2 a lot more.
Also Origins looks great, can't wait.

BOSTON -- The pitching battle for the ages lived up to its billing. And not just because Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez were on the mound.
In a game that featured brawls, brushbacks and plenty of bad blood, Clemens pitched the New York Yankees past the Boston Red Sox 4-3 Saturday for a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven AL championship series.
Martinez grabbed 72-year-old coach Don Zimmer by the head and threw him to the ground during a fourth-inning melee. The fight began after Martinez threw behind Karim Garcia's head in the top of the fourth, and Clemens threw a high pitch to Manny Ramirez.
The Rocket, however, never got flustered against his former team in his Fenway Park farewell, and a most bizarre chapter was added to baseball's most bitter rivalry.
"We've upgraded from a battle to a war," Boston manager Grady Little said.
Derek Jeter hit a tying homer to help the Yankees overcome a 2-0 first-inning deficit, and Hideki Matsui had a go-ahead double for New York.
"It was huge, especially playing here," Jeter said. "This won't mean anything unless we come out tomorrow and win."
David Wells pitches for New York in Game 4 Sunday, opposed by John Burkett.
"We're to play baseball, that's first and foremost in our minds," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "We win two more games and we get to go to the World Series."
Saturday's game was billed as a heavyweight matchup between two pitchers who have won a total of nine Cy Young Awards, and the fighting began just after Matsui's RBI double put New York ahead 3-2.
Martinez's next pitch was behind Garcia's head, and plate umpire Alfonso Marquez ruled that it nicked Garcia's back before hitting his bat. Marquez issued a warning to both dugouts about throwing inside. Torre thought Martinez deliberately threw at Garcia.
"That's no mistake in my mind," Torre said. "You can't sit around and say, 'OK, do what you want."'
Little's take was different. "Pedro never takes a shot at someone's head like that," he said.
Alfonso Soriano then came up with the bases loaded and no outs, and he grounded to shortstop, with Boston turning a double play as Nick Johnson scored from third.
Garcia slid hard, knocking down second baseman Todd Walker. The two began shoving each other, and both teams slowly came out of the dugouts, yelling. Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, Clemens and Zimmer were among the loudest.
When play resumed, Enrique Wilson popped out, ending the inning.
Two umpires pulled Clemens aside as he went to the mound for the bottom of the inning.
With the count 1-2 to Ramirez leading off, Clemens threw a high pitch, at the level of Ramirez's head, but not far inside. Ramirez bailed before the pitch even reached the plate, raised his bat slightly and shouted at Clemens, who yelled back.
Both dugouts and bullpens emptied, with Zimmer coming all the way across the infield to the first-base side. The coach headed for the 31-year-old Martinez and lunged at him. Martinez sidestepped him, grabbed his bald head with both hands and tossed him to the ground. Zimmer landed face down and rolled over on his back.
"I think Zim's a little old for that," Little said.
Zimmer remained on the ground and Yankees trainer Gene Monahan treated the coach for what appeared to be a cut on his head. Sitting in the dugout, Zimmer had a small bandage on the bridge of his nose. Later, he was smiling and laughing.
Zimmer, the Red Sox manager when they lost the famous 1978 AL East playoff to the Yankees, has a plate in his head, the result of a beaning in 1953. He is in his 54th season in professional baseball.
After a 10-minute delay following the fight, Ramirez struck out on the next pitch.
To keep the crowd calm, the baseball commissioner's office and the Red Sox immediately cut off beer sales in the ballpark.
But the fighting wasn't over.
There was a skirmish in the Yankees' bullpen in the middle of the ninth inning, one that appeared to involve a member of the Boston grounds crew. Garcia, New York's right fielder, cut his hand and was replaced by Juan Rivera.
Both pitchers are known for intimidation. Clemens hit Mets star Mike Piazza in the head with a pitch three years ago, then threw the jagged barrel of a shattered bat toward him during the World Series. Clemens hit Boston's Kevin Millar with a pitch on July 5, and two days later Martinez hit Jeter and Soriano.
Martinez wasn't as dominant as usual Saturday, throwing far more curveballs than normal - this coming off two tough outings in the first round, when he threw a season-high 130 pitches in the opener against Oakland and 100 in Game 5.
Appearing fired up after the fight, he retired his final nine batters. But he still lost for the first time in the postseason, dropping to 4-1.
Neither Clemens nor Martinez lasted to the end. Clemens allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, struck out seven and walked one. Just two of the hits came after the first.
Martinez gave up four runs and six hits in seven innings, struck out six and walked one.
Boston closed within a run in the seventh when Felix Heredia relieved and walked David Ortiz leading off. Millar then singled off Jose Contreras, sending Ortiz to third. Trot Nixon then bounced into a double play that scored a run - the third double play turned by the Yankees.
Mariano Rivera came in to start the eighth and retired six straight batters for his first save of the series, sealing New York's second straight win. He has retired 21 of 22 hitters in the postseason.
At the start, it looked much like the first Clemens-Martinez matchup, in Game 3 of the 1999 ALCS, won by Boston 13-1.
Clemens was serenaded with singsong taunts of "Ro-ger, Ro-ger" in the bullpen in front of the right-field bleachers, and again when he warmed up on the mound.
Johnny Damon, returning to Boston's lineup, opened the bottom of the first with an infield single off the glove of third baseman Wilson, who started because he entered 10-for-20 against Martinez.
Walker doubled off the Green Monster, and Ramirez hit a two-run single.
New York got a run in the second when Posada doubled and scored on Garcia's two-out single. Jeter homered over the Green Monster in the third to tie it.
Of course, another Yankees shortstop, Bucky Dent, homered over The Wall to put New York ahead in the one-game playoff for the AL East title in 1978.
Notes: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck watched the game from front-row seats next to the Boston dugout, with the "Today" show's Katie Couric, the girlfriend of Red Sox part-owner Tom Werner, in the second row. ... Also in the first row, near the Yankees dugout, was former Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette. ... Johnson made a great diving catch on Ortiz's foul liner near first for the second out of the ninth.

The Martini Bar at the Curtis Hotel's Corner Office Bar in Denver was a-buzz. Colorado Ski Country had invited members of the press to a welcome reception in the swanky lounge. "Did you see anything cool?" was the most-asked question of the night as we all tried to determine what's hot, different and news worthy from this year's SIA show. This is the annual event for retailers to taste and order their stock for next season.
"White, purple and jade," uttered one gal almost distressed. Those are some of the 'it' colors for 2010/11. Spotted at Obermeyer, however, a shimmery copper in the Kassidy Down Sweater that stood out as a top seller. Patterns are still popular but color-blocking (blocks of bold colors placed strategically like patches on jackets, pants, and sweaters) which started peeking out this season, is even bigger for next. Prints also take on a futurist look with barcodes, swirls, and streaks of eye-popping colors. For women, pink is the new black.
Rocker (where tip and tail of a ski bends up dramatically) has taken over every model at K2 and they categorized them to make it more understandable for consumers - Speed Rocker, Catch-Free Rocker (elevated tip and tail makes it easier for beginners to turn at slow speeds without catching an edge), Jib Rocker, All Terrain Rocker, and Powder Rocker (this is your big banana ski).
Only two models in their line are traditional, meaning no rocker and full camber: a beginning women's ski and a touring ski. Even K2s kids' skis have rocker. They've also gotten more aggressive with flashy graphics and waists up to 100 cm under foot.
Armada's making a lightweight, foam-core park ski for kids 5-7. Kastle's back with three models featuring "early rise" (their version of rocker). This is the company's first SIA show since purchasing the name and design rights back from Benetton. Pro-athlete Chris Davenport has hopped on them to promote the company.
Thirty percent of snowboards will have rocker next season and you'll also see more splitboards than ever thanks to the trend toward the backcountry experience. Atomic, Burton, Venture, Jones, Voile and more will offer freeriders high-performance options for climbing. Lib-Tech has a convertible mono ski where you can reposition the bindings to ride surf-style like a snowboard if you don't have those mono skills. ABS
The North Face has entered the kids market with buntings, vests and jackets for infants and toddlers. Thorlos also beefed up their kids end with six colors and Thor-Wick - "green" yarn made from post-consumer plastic bottles that's just as warm as their other fibers but twice as friendly. Smartwool's graduated compression socks promise faster recovery from muscle fatigue. They're primarily for Nordic skiers because of the last of cushion but I look forward to testing them after a day on the slopes.
One of the coolest products I saw at the show isn't necessarily new, but it's more functional for next season. ABS- The Avalanche Airbag- is introducing a new carbon cartridge that's half the weight of their steel ones. Once you pull the handle, one cartridge inflates two airbags attached to the sides of their backpack. The balloons keep a rider horizontal and close to the surface during an avalanche to minimize the risk of injury and burial. They actually have studies that show 98 percent of victims survive with the ABS. New this year is a wireless activation handle so your guide or partner can set off your airbags from a distance of up to 300 meters if h sees you're in trouble.
Well, it's time to get back on the floor. More to come from SIA 2010 in Denver Sunday. -- Jill

Betty Merner has been a faculty member of Meadowbrook Waldorf School for more than 22 years. She taught in public schools for 18 years before discovering Waldorf education. Following 15 years as a class teacher Betty became the school's Resource Co-ordinator overseeing special services for students in need of extra support. Here she considers the results of a study into play based learning in light of her extensive experience of the Waldorf approach.
The HighScope Educational Research Foundation of Ypsilanti, MI recently published the results of its longitudinal study, the HighScope Preschool Comparison Study. HighScope followed the lives of 68 young people born into poverty from ages 3 and 4. These children were randomly assigned to one of three early childhood programs: the Direct Instruction model, where teachers followed a script to direct the learning of academic skills; a Play-Based model, where teachers responded to children's self-initiated play in a loosely structured setting; and the Highscope model where teachers set-up the classroom and a daily routine within which children could create and do their own activities. The study followed these children until age 23 and looked at their success in a number of categories that affected their lives on a number of levels. By age 23, participants from the Play-Based early childhood models were shown to have "significant advantages over the Direct Instruction group". Some of the results included:
- Only 6% of children in the Play-Based groups needed treatment for emotional impairment or disturbance during their schooling compared to 47% of the Direct Instruction group.
- Only 10% had ever been arrested for a felony compared to 39% of those who received Direct Instruction.
- 31% of the Play-Based groups were married and living with their spouse compared with 0% of the Direct Instruction group.
- 70% of Play-Based group attended or planned to continue on to college compared to 36% of Direct Instruction group.
Click here for more details on the effect of early childhood education on later individual social responsibility.
Last January, I heard Joan Almon, a Waldorf early childhood teacher now international consultant on early childhood education and executive director of the Alliance for Childhood speak at the Mariposa center in Providence, RI. She shared the results of the Highscope Study and explained why there was such a difference in scores. Play, she explained, is child-initiated. The activities, the challenges and the solutions are created and explored by the young child. This gives a sense of self-initiation early on, the know-how and intuition to solve problems. This translates throughout life in other situations that children encounter. In a play-based kindergarten children are taught not to look to the adult authorities around them for their next task but to create activities from the materials, tasks and people around them. They learn early on to become self-sufficient and they are less likely to blame their short comings on people or situation outside of themselves.
This study has put substance into what Waldorf early childhood programs have long advocated. It is fundamental to what makes Waldorf kids 'different', why we have been told by the many high schools that our children have transitioned into that "Waldorf kids are our favorite students". As the study concludes,"…the goals of early childhood education should not be limited to academic preparation for school, but should help children learn to make decisions, solve problems and get along with others." The question that remains for us is: How do we make Waldorf Early Childhood education available to as many child in our community as we can? If we could make it available to every child in our community, can you begin to imagine what our community would look like 20 years from now?

HAMDEN, Conn. — Going into Saturday's non-league game with Quinnipiac — one of the new members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference — University at Albany coach Will Brown knew this: if his Danes didn't compete with the Bobcats on the boards, it was going to be a long afternoon.
It was a long afternoon.
Quinnipiac mauled the Danes on the glass and cruised to a 79-69 win in their home opener at TD Bank Sports Center in front of 1,855.
The Bobcats had a 41-28 rebounding advantage over UAlbany, including a 21-7 edge on the offensive end.
Quinnipac's major damage inside was done by Ousmane Drame, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound junior forward. He scored 18 points — on seven of nine shooting from the floor — and collected 10 rebounds (seven of them on the offensive end). The Bobcats (2-1) had a 21-6 edge on second chance points.
"They pounded us on the offensive glass," Brown said. "Going into this game, I thought if they won the rebounding battle, they were going to beat us. It was that simple. We didn't rebound well enough."
Brown hoped that the Danes would give some resistance inside, and he was satisfied that 6-6 forward Sam Rowley and 6-10 center John Puk, did that. He was happy with the job they did on boxing out the Quinnipiac big fellas, but not happy with his guards helping out.
"I thought our guards could have career nights rebounding, and they didn't." Brown said. "That is disappointing. When you rebound as poorly as we did, you don't have much room for error."
Rowley (20 points) and Puk (14 points) both had six rebounds to lead the Danes, but the Albany perimeter players didn't help them out. Guards Peter Hooley (0 rebounds in 33 minutes), DJ Evans (3 in 28 minutes) and Anthony Odunsi (1 in nine minutes) combined for four boards.
Albany also got no help from the referees. Before the season started, it was promised that games would be called tighter, and that didn't happen on Saturday.
"The officials let us play," Brown said. "I think that favored them. That game was not based on the new rules, in my opinion. Not only were they bigger and stronger than us, they were more athletic"
Tom Moore, the Quinnipiac, coach, agreed with Brown on that one.
"The refs called in pretty loose, which is in our favor," Moore said. "This will be one of the games with the fewest called fouls in the country today I would think. But I thought the refs were incredibly consistent in allowing both teams to play inside."
There were 18 fouls called on the Danes; 16 on the Bobcats.
UAlbany started the game out great, taking an 11-0 lead. But the Bobcats came back and had a 41-35 lead at halftime. In the second half, Quinnipiac built a 10-point lead, 51-41, with 15 minutes left. To their credit, the Danes came back and got to within 62-61 on a basket by Dave Wiegmann, with 6:02 left.
Then, trailing 66-63, UAlbany turned the ball over on three straight possessions and Quinnipiac scored six straight points to put the game away.
The one possession that Brown really wishes his team had back was a 3-on-2 break being led by Rowley. He had Hooley on the left side and Gary Johnson on the right. It looked like he wanted to go to Hooley, but, all of a sudden, the Albany guard was on the floor and there was no whistle. Rowley looked back to the right for Johnson, but his pass was batted around and then Rowley, standing out of bounds, had the ball go off him.
"Absolutely, I was fouled," Hooley said.
"He was definitely pushed, but there was no call," Brown said. "But there are no excuses."
The Danes did do a good job on Ike Azotam, the Bobcats 6-7, 235-pound forward. He came in averaging 18.5 points and 10 rebounds but only managed eight points and five rebounds Saturday. … Puk had a solid game for the Danes with his 14 points and six board in 32 minutes. … The Albany guards struggled as Hooley (3-for-9 from the field) and Evans (1-7) were not a factor. … Luke Devlin, who has been battling a recurring back injury, was 3-4 from the field and had six points in 13 minutes. Wiegmann played 24 minutes had eight points. … Quinnipiac guard Umar Shannon had a game-high 24 points, making five of 11 shots from 3-point range. … Albany was 0-4 from 3-point range. "I don't know if I have ever coached a game at Albany where we didn't have any (3-pointers)," Brown said. … The Danes will try to regroup when they play at Duquesne of the Atlantic 10 on Wednesday.

Welcome to Antarctic Animals! Within this site you will find information and facts about Antarctica but more specifically the Antarctic animals, such as seals, whales and birds.
When it comes to Antarctic animals, they are provided with special tools which can help them survive the extreme Antarctica weather conditions prevalent in the continent. There are many Antarctic facts for instance penguins and seals are found to possess compact body shapes and thick skins which can help keep their bodies in heat. Many animals in Antarctica have layers of fat which insulate and protect them from the extreme cold Antarctica weather. In order to protect from freezing, species of fish and insects have special chemicals in their bodies. Penguins drink the sea water and expel through nostrils as the concentrated brine.
It has been estimated that humans were found to live in this continent since the beginning of the twentieth century and for a long time they were feeling the volcanic activity. It has also been found that several invertebrates which include the largest Antarctica land animal, a wingless midge which is a centimeter in length was found to live in the continent. Lichens and moss started growing on the island after the volcanic eruptions.
More than seven hundred species of algae and phytoplankton are found to live in the Antarctic Region apart from whales, seals and other animals in Antarctica. On account of the heavy presence of whale species of different sizes and varieties including the largest whale, whale watching is becoming very prominent around the island resulting in more and more tourists arriving at the island throughout the year.
Whales are considered to belong to the family of mammals. They have lungs and breathe air like human beings and are warm blooded. They are found to possess a four chambered heart and are affectionate in taking care of their young calfs with the mother whales feeding them with milk. They are considered to be related to dolphins and are divided into two groups. Some whale species are toothed whales and others are known as baleen whales. In fact the toothed whales have rows of peg like teeth and one blow-hole. In Antarctic waters there are more than six species of baleen whales namely; humpback, Minke, Sei, blue, fin and southern right whale. Many five toothed whales can be seen in the Antarctic waters. It is quite interesting to watch the whale species moving in and out of the sea waters. Like human beings they can be found loving others and the young whale calf's can be found following the mother whale from one direction to another. By nature, the whales are such creatures which are found to be intelligent with no natural fear of humans, in fact they like to mingle with human beings and the experience is found to be enriching and enlightening. However getting close to them can be hard at times as some can be really shy.
What Antarctic Animals Can Be Found?
Emperor penguin is one among the Antarctic animals and is the heaviest and tallest of all penguin species. It weighs around 65 to 90 pounds and can be three to four feet tall. There are several penguins in the continent namely; Chinstrap penguins, King penguins, Rockhopper penguins and Gentoo penguins.
It is found that on the outer side of the deception island where less volcanic activity has been found, there is a chinstrap penguin rookery numbering more than hundred thousand pairs. Thousands of penguins can be found moving from one to another end.
When it comes to the Antarctic whale, there are different whale species available in the continent and the blue whale is considered to be the largest whale but not only the largest whale, the largest animal on the planet! The head of humpback whale constitutes up to one third of its whole body length. The sperm whale is found to be the largest whale species of the toothed whales and its length is found to be more than fifty feet. Orca whale is called as the killer whale; however, it is said to belong to the oceanic dolphin family and is one among the largest species.
Antarctic seals are found on the continent and their blubber is two to four inches thick. It protects them from the continent's extreme cold Antarctica weather conditions. Despite seal facts that they are found to be as heavy as 250 pounds, they can swim at a speed of 11 mph. While seals swim in the water they close their ears so that water is resisted from entering into their bodies.
Other Antarctic Animals
Apart the mentioned Antarctic animals above, Arctic Tern is found to be a species of bird and it is one of the three Antarctic animals that live all year round on the continent. The head of the Arctic Tern is black in colour, it has a white body and its wings span is about four feet. Crustaceans; namely crabs, sea spiders and shrimps are other life forms that are available in Antarctica and certain species of fish namely; the Antarctic cod, robber fish, ice fish, ray tailed fish, crocodile fish and dragon fish are also some marine life species found on the continent.
Antarctica Weather
There are seven continents on the earth, However, when it comes to human living, all continents are found to have different weather conditions and while some are conducive and not conducive for human living on account of extreme cold and hot climates.
While the continents like America, Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa are found to have climates suitable for human beings, the other continents namely; Greenland and Antarctica have extreme cold climate at all times. Only vegetation possible in Antarctica is tundra. The Antarctica weather produces a very cold and harsh climate for all Antarctic animals.
Amongst the seven continents of the earth, Antarctica is considered to be the coldest and driest. On account of the harsh Antarctica weather prevalent in the continent, the continent is not inhabited by human beings. However, there are certain Antarctic animals which survive despite such difficult Antarctica weather conditions and tourists from several countries in the world are eager to visit the continent in order to have a look at those Antarctic animals.
The Antarctica weather produces an outstanding and extreme climate and holds the world record for coldest record climate. A thick, solid sheet of ice covers the entire area being on average a remarkable 7000 feet thick! Interestingly the Antarctica also contains more than seventy percent of the world's fresh water.
