NORFOLK — It was a half-hour before tip-off when Kecoughtan's bus finally pulled into the underground garage at Scope. Traffic had been a mess all the way over. And for their most important game of the year to date, the Warriors already were off course.
Not that you could ever tell. Kecoughtan came out hot, got hotter, and rolled to a 77-66 win over Western Branch in Thursday's Eastern Region quarterfinals. The Warriors (24-4) advanced to Sunday's 8 p.m. semifinal against King's Fork, a 69-59 winner Thursday against Norcom in double overtime.
With a less than ideal pregame, Kecoughtan shot 54 percent from the floor and never trailed. So who cares about a traffic jam and arriving late?
"We don't worry about other things around us," forward Rodney Bullock said. "We just play basketball. All we really need is 15 minutes to warm up, and we'll be fine."
Bullock was more than fine with 27 points, 15 rebounds and four assists. Greg Alexander added 23 on 9-of-15 shooting. And Lawrence Williams, a modern-day Vinnie "Microwave" Johnson, had 16 points in 12 minutes off the bench.
Here's an indication of the Warriors' energy level Thursday night: They outscored Western Branch 28-12 in transition.
"Sometimes, coaches can get in the way of kids," Kecoughtan coach Ivan Thomas said. "Just let them play. I didn't say anything but just go out and play. We'll fix whatever happens."
The game's first play was a glimpse into how the evening would unfold. Western Branch's Demonte Burns missed a 3-pointer, Bullock rebounded and hit Alexander in stride for a layup on the other end.
The Warriors led 10-8 when Williams' drive ignited an 8-0 run. From that point on, Kecoughtan never led by fewer than seven points.
Williams scored 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting in seven minutes in the first half.
"He's 'Dark Horse' -- that's what I call him," Thomas said. "He's going right, he's going left at the same time. You really can't figure out which way he's going. That's what he does. He can light it up in a hurry."
Bullock was, in Thomas' words, "vintage Rajay." His buckets included a reverse layup in traffic, a dunk off a drive, a turnaround from 16 feet on the baseline, and a coast-to-coast layup off a rebound. But his best play might have been a half-court, one-handed bounce pass to Alexander for an "and-one" dunk.
Playing on a floor that is 10 feet longer than what they're used to, and shooting against a deeper backdrop, the Warriors needed no adjustment period.
"Not really," Alexander said. "The basket's just as round as the one at our high school."
Kecoughtan led by 16 with 5:25 left in the second quarter and 15 with 7:01 remaining in the game. But the Bruins (18-9) hung around and made things interesting when Burns' 3-pointer cut it to 71-64 with 1:14 left.
Maybe the Warriors were finally gassed at that point, but they had enough to hang on. Even with their pregame routine thrown off course.
"This team's pretty focused," Thomas said. "They've seen a lot, so I really wasn't worried. When we finally got here, it was like, 'OK, we've been here before.'"
WESTERN BRANCH (18-9): Thomas 5, Ribeiro 9, Burns 19, Jamison 19, Corrigan 2, D. Johnson 12. Totals: 28 6-9 66.
KECOUGHTAN (24-4): Bullock 27, Haskett 2, Alexander 23, Poe 9, Williams 16. Totals: 31 12-16 77.
Western Branch;8;15;24;19—66
3-point goals: Western Branch 4 (Burns 2, Thomas, Ribeiro), Kecoughtan 3 (Alexander 2, Williams).

Babycakes Awesome Cake Tutorial
16 Thus says the LORD,
"Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'
17 "And I set watchmen over you, saying,
'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!'
But they said, 'We will not listen.'
18 "Therefore hear, O nations,
And know, O congregation, what is among them.
19 "Hear, O earth: behold, I am bringing disaster on this people, The fruit of their plans, Because they have not listened to My words, And as for My law, they have rejected it also. 20 "For what purpose does frankincense come to Me from Sheba
And the sweet cane from a distant land?
Your burnt offerings are not acceptable
And your sacrifices are not pleasing to Me." Jeremiah 5:16-20
I have made cake pops for church fellowships and haven't been completely happy with their roundness, so I have been wanting to try the Babycakes Cakepop Maker ever since I heard of one. Between a great sale at Kohl's, a 30% coupon and some Kohl's cash, I actually came home with not only a cakepop maker, but also their mini cupcake/pie maker for about half the regular price of the cheaper of the two!!! Tomorrow I'll share about the cupcake maker.
I wasn't sure how you could make the cakepops I'd been making in the Babycakes and after reading the manual, I found out you can't. But...you can make 100% cake balls in it. I thought it was worth a try. So, I've been practicing and looking for more ways to use these Babycakes.
I saw this idea done in a bundt pan on a blog recently (I don't know which blog - write me if it's yours and I'll link to you) and it kept fascinating me until I made my own this weekend for a fellowship meal at church. Man did it disappear fast!
First, reviews on line will tell you quickly that many have had poor results using cake recipes other than Babycakes' own recipes. My first attempt used their white cake recipe. I found it dry and tasteless. Some said that using one of the small cake mixes from the store would work, but my store didn't have any, so, for this cake I used the Dinette Cake recipe I've used all my life from the first cookbook I got. I chose this as it is a small cake - and it tastes wonderful!
Dinette Cake
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
Put all ingredients into a large bowl. Blend 1/2 min. on low speed, scraping bowl constantly. Beat 3 min. high speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Bake 35-45 min. until wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
I divided the batter and colored each portion brightly using Wilton concentrated gel colors from Michael's. With a 50% off coupon it was $5 plus tax for a set of 8.
I don't have a bundt pan, so I used my two glass loaf pans and it worked great. I put some chocolate batter on the bottom of my greased and floured pans and then added the balls. It looked like there wasn't enough chocolate mix, but it turned out great. I dipped each ball in the batter to be sure that every ball would be separated by dark brown. Then I poured the rest of the batter over the top and gently shook to be sure I didn't have air pockets. I set the oven at 350, instead of the 400 on the box, and cooked for 43 min. The toothpick came out clean and they were perfect!
I LOVED slicing! Being a rock lover, it reminded me of the marvel of cutting just a small distance from your first slice and being blessed with another different amazing piece of art from our God, the original Artist!! I've ALWAYS marveled at that with rocks...and these loaves were the same! SO FUN! My husband and I each ate a slice. At the risk of being redundant....SO FUN!!!! But I ran into a problem with the last couple of bites - they were too pretty to eat! I just wanted to look at them! LOL!Next time I want to replace the vanilla in the cake pops with another flavor so that when you eat you taste both! My daughter suggested a white cake with red and green balls for Christmas and a brother at church put his request in for a white cake with red velvet balls for Valentines!! :) It's just a happy cake and I have enjoyed it SOOOO MUCH!

Tuesday Reads: SOTU, Republican Crazies, LAPD Manhunt, and Other NewsPosted: February 12, 2013 Filed under: morning reads, U.S. Economy, U.S. Politics | Tags: State of the Union Address 46 Comments
Good Morning!!
Tonight President Obama will give his first State of the Union Address since being elected to a second term. C-Span coverage begins at 8PM (Eastern) and the speech itself begins at 9PM. We'll have a live blog, of course.
I have to admit, I'm already somewhat discouraged after yesterday's announcements by Jay Carney and Dan Pfieffer that Obama is still enthusiastically offering Social Security benefit cuts and Medicare "changes" to tempt Republicans into a "grand bargain." There has also been much talk of "spending cuts" and emphasis on the administration having a "spending problem." If Obama had a mandate, it wasn't for this.
There have been rumors that Obama would emphasize jobs in the SOTU, but it sounds like that may not be the case. We can only hope that once the President gets out among real people again, he'll remember why he won the election–and it wasn't because we were all hoping he'd drive the economy into a ditch. People need jobs, Mr. President, and they'd like to have some dignity, health care, and perhaps something to eat besides cat food when they get old and frail.
Unfortunately, thanks to insane Republican Rep. Steve Stockman, repulsive gun enthusiast Ted Nugent, who threatened President Obama last year, will be a guest at the State of the Union Address. TPM:
Outspoken rocker Ted Nugent will attend President Obama's State of the Union Address Tuesday in order to take on the media and "counter the scams and lies of the left," he explained to talk radio host Mike Broomhead "We know that the president will have the state of the union stacked and jammed with props, children, and victims of violent crime, " Nugent said. "And my friends wanted me to attend to counter that the way that I do: with facts, statistics and common sense and logic and a celebration of self-evident truths. So I will be taking on the media orgy following the State of the Union Address." Nugent said the media does not realize he is a "force to be reckoned with" and therefore he will "dominate them."
You can listen to the radio interview at the TPM link if you're so inclined. Can't the Secret Service prevent this moron from turning the SOTU into a freak show? Would they allow this if Obama were a Republican?
But as Greg Sargent points out, "The problem runs a lot deeper than Ted Nugent."
That's bad, but if I were the GOP leadership, the prospect of further comments from Nugent after the speech would have me a bit worried. After all, there's little doubt that reporters will seek him out, and there's really no telling what Nugent will say. The GOP leadership has not commented on the news. But really, this episode is significant for reasons that go well beyond Nugent. The key actor here who matters is Steve Stockman. The problem lies in all the over-the-top stuff GOP lawmakers say regularly that isn't quite crazy enough to earn widespread condemnation, as Nugent's quotes have, but are still whacked out enough to encourage an atmosphere that helps keep millions of GOP base voters sealed off from reality. The problem is the perpetual winking and nodding to The Crazy that is deemed marginally acceptable – the hints about creeping socialism, the claim that modest Obama executive actions amount to tyranny, the suggestions that Obama's values are vaguely un-American and that Obama is transforming the country and the economy into something no longer recognizably American, and so on — more so than the glaringly awful stuff that gets the media refs to throw their flags.
In other news,
Yesterday, Esquire published an interview with the "man who killed Osama bin Laden." I haven't read the whole thing, because frankly, I'm very turned off by the notion of assassinating criminals instead of capturing them and bringing them to trial. Every time I try to read anything about the raid on the bin Laden compound I start to feel sick. Anyone who did read the article, I'd be interested in your reaction to this piece at Stars and Stripes: Esquire article wrongly claims SEAL who killed bin Laden is denied healthcare.
Esquire magazine claims "The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden … Is Screwed." The story details the life of the Navy SEAL after the successful raid to take out the No. 1 terrorist, and it asserts that once the SEAL got out of the military he was left to fend for himself. "…here is what he gets from his employer and a grateful nation: Nothing. No pension, no health care, and no protection for himself or his family." Except the claim about health care is wrong. And no servicemember who does less than 20 years gets a pension, unless he has to medically retire. Like every combat veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the former SEAL, who is identified in the story only as "the Shooter", is automatically eligible for five years of free healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs. But the story doesn't mention that.
According to the LA Times, fugitive and alleged murderer Christopher Dorner may have escaped to Mexico with help from an "associate."
In federal court records, authorities said there was "probable cause" Christopher Jordan Dorner fled to Mexico. Officials told The Times on Monday night that the court papers, filed late last week, reflected their thinking at the time, but they stressed that Dorner could be anywhere.
The search is ongoing in California as well as Mexico.
The possibility of Dorner receiving help by an associate was raised in the court records. In his affidavit, McClusky said investigators with the Marine Corps and San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department were conducting a surveillance operation of an Arrow Bear property owned by a family member of the associate Thursday and discovered a burning vehicle nearby that matched the gray Nissan pickup truck used by Dorner.
In addition, TMZ learned yesterday that Dorner purchased scuba diving equipment just 48 hours before he allegedly shot the daughter of a retired LAPD officer and her fiance. From TMZ:
Dorner went to Sports Chalet in Torrance — a beachside community in the L.A. area — on February 1st. The video shows Dorner carrying in 2 small, yellow scuba tanks as he walks into the scuba section. Sources tell us … Dorner got the tanks refilled with oxygen. The video then shows Dorner leaving the scuba section with the 2 yellow tanks, along with another large, black scuba tank. Dorner then goes to the counter, and then has a friendly conversation with the cashier, at times laughing. Dorner — who was a member of a Naval undersea warfare unit — pays cash for the items and then leaves….What's really interesting … Dorner reportedly tried stealing a boat in San Diego on February 6th … where scuba gear might come in handy. The plan was thwarted when the prop got tangled in a rope.
The Christian Science Monitor discusses the Dorner case in the light of the troubled relationship between the LAPD and the city's black community: LAPD review of Christopher Dorner firing: why black community wants more.
Los Angeles's African-American community is casting a skeptical eye on police chief Charlie Beck's decision Saturday to reopen the investigation into the 2008 firing of alleged cop killer Christopher Dorner. Twenty years after the Rodney King riots deep distrust remains, with some community leaders saying the Los Angeles Police Department cannot be trusted to investigate itself – and that perhaps even the US Justice Department should be called in. Mr. Dorner's firing from the LAPD is at the center of the online manifesto that outlines his motivations for revenge. Police say Dorner has already killed three people and has threatened several police officers and families by name. The massive manhunt for him began Thursday. In his manifesto, Dorner calls his firing "unjust," and suggests that he was fired partly because he reported that a fellow cop kicked a suspect. The allegations of police abuse and prejudice within the LAPD strike a chord within the broader black community. Moreover, they come at a time when some black leaders worry that the LAPD is backsliding after making significant gains toward more inclusivenessxxxxx under the previous chief. "We don't agree with Dorner's tactics, but many of us sympathize with his allegations," says Najee Ali, a black activist and executive director of Project Islamic H.O.P.E. in Los Angeles. "But we don't think the LAPD can investigate itself and come up with a conclusion that will appease the black community. We think the US Justice Department needs to do it."
North Korea conducted nuclear test for the third time yesterday. The Voice of America reports: S. Korea, Japan Move to Bolster Defenses After North's Nuclear Test.
North Korean state media hail the nuclear test as a success, saying it "did not pose any negative impact on the surrounding ecological environment." A television announcer in Pyongyang says the country detonated a "miniaturized and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force" than previous tests. Analysts say that indicates North Korea may have set off a plutonium-fueled bomb, suitable to be placed atop a missile…. Japan and the United States have deployed aircraft with special equipment to collect radioactive gases. An analysis of those gases could determine what type of nuclear material was used. South Korean officials say tremors recorded by seismographs around the world suggest the device has a yield of six to seven kilotons.

46 Comments on "Tuesday Reads: SOTU, Republican Crazies, LAPD Manhunt, and Other News"
I'm reserving judgment on the SOTU speech until I hear the words from Obama's mouth. I've listened to Jay Carney enough to know that he obfuscates regularly when dealing with the W.H. Press Corps. I believe obfuscation is the usual path of the Press Secretary when the POTUS is preparing to deliver a major address to the nation.
Most of my problems with Obama came during healthcare reform, primarily because I support SPUHC and Obama gave up way to much to get ACA passed. But on one thing I agree with Obama, the problem with healthcare isn't Medicare or Medicaid, it's the cost of healthcare itself and there is reluctance to tackle that issue on both sides of the aisle because the WRONG people (providers, for-profit insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies) will be impacted by real solutions.
As I watch this speech tonight I will remember that we do have a healthcare reform bill (even if it's not what I wanted) that when fully implemented will help millions of people, particularly those who are priced out of the market altogether and those with pre-existing conditions. I will remember that the repeal of DADT is a done deal, that immigration reform is likely to happen, that the Iraq war is over, that the war in Afghanistan is coming to an end even earlier than projected (I have 3 family members stationed in Afghanistan). I will also remember that I watched video of lesbian and gay officers attending an Inaugural Ball (I can't tell you what that meant to me), that the POTUS of the U.S. stood up for immigrants and L/G's during his inaugural speech (An unbelievable sight for these old eyes to behold for these old ears to hear)
I will also remember that the United States AG has refused to defend DOMA in the courts (even while the GOP has filed a brief in support of DOMA). I'll also remember that Obama is doing battle with the NRA and I can't remember the last time a POTUS took that group on.
I'm sure I won't like everything Obama has to say tonight, in fact I'm sure I'll be bitching about some of what he has to say tomorrow morning, but I know whatever he says it will be infinitely better than anything that would have come from the mouth of Mitt Romney and the GOP.

The Movies.com Review: 'RED 2' Resembles a Goofy '60s International Caper Comedy
They did not come to improve RED, merely to extend it. And convolute it. They came to bolster the brand and keep that older-and-far-more-reliable-than-14-year-old-boys demographic coming to movie theaters. They also came to drop a token young person into the mix (G.I. Joe franchise regular Byung-hun Lee as the world's most dangerous contract killer) just in case that might lure more of the 14 year olds into showing up. They came to add a lot more idle chatter and a heavier dose of bullet spray.
But the squeamish can relax: this is, like its predecessor, more silly than sanguine, a PG-13 fantasyland of tidy, bloodless death. When a bad guy warns Frank (Bruce Willis), the covert ops man who just wants a chance to remain retired, that his significant other, Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), is going to be filleted "from head to toe," it's an easy, empty threat. Nothing bad is going to happen to anyone you like here, ever. And not simply because Helen Mirren's character is standing by, casually, waiting to ruin scores of faceless goons and then slowly dissolve their corpses with chemicals while she wears a fur-lined dressing gown. Not even then. You came to see the late middle-aged play spy games, not splatter the walls. Mirren is the film's greatest pleasure but she's comedy menace, the sardonically quippy aftermath of violence.
A nuclear bomb is missing. Its creator, a mad professor with a reputation as "The Da Vinci of Death" (Anthony Hopkins), has been in solitary confinement for 30 years. Frank, drawn out of Costco-shopping domesticity by old pal Marvin (John Malkovich), goes on a globe-hopping trip to find it, crossing paths with Lee and a femme fatale from his past (Catherine Zeta-Jones), as well as an information dealer known as "The Frog" (David Thewlis, doing "aesthete" like he was born for it) and a bunch of in-pursuit bad guys that he takes out with effortless precision. Parker comes along for the ride, too, eagerly wanting to fire her own gun yet meeting condescension and a weird stream of "girl" and "kitten" commentary for her trouble. Meanwhile, Malkovich spends his own downtime comically coaching Willis on the nuances of building love and trust in a long-term relationship (apparently thinking of your woman as a helpless kitten is how this is accomplished).
When all of this falls flat -- and that's more often than it should thanks to an overlong running time and slack editing whenever Lee isn't dosing it with a bit of fight-based adrenaline -- there's a recurring visual gag involving hats, a series of them, of increasingly strange color and shape, oddly and uncomfortably propped on the stars' heads. There's Jones in a jaunty plum-colored fedora or a floppy black wide-brimmed thing seemingly designed for attendance at a very chill beach funeral. Parker's hats jealously mimic these. Then Willis gets one with huge furry ear flaps. When everyone winds up in Russia, Malkovich puts on a baseball cap that reads RUSSIA across the front. Returning character Ivan (Brian Cox) is given a purple suede newsboy cap to accompany him while Mirren dons a silvery-white fur head-donut with a tail. Something's wrong when you begin noticing the props. You begin wondering (but not for long) when the Carmen Miranda tutti-frutti tower will show up.
It's all inoffensive, incredibly casual and designed to be so, going for the feel of a goofy '60s international caper comedy but never quite finding that genre's sense of genial, clueless idiocy. If it were cartoonier, weirder, more aggressive and visceral, or simply allowed Helen Mirren the chance to shoot more people while dropping bon mots like a microphone hitting the floor, there'd be more reason for it to exist. But if there's going to be a RED 3, they're going to have to kick it up a notch on every front. Get Maggie Smith and Judi Dench and Ian McKellen in on this action. Set it at the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Bring in Max von Sydow as the boss of all evil global crime. Whatever it takes.

The Problems With Exact Match DomainsBlog Post: December 14, 2010
This article assumes that the EMD (Exact Match Domain) is the sole reason for ranking number 1. This is false. If your seo efforts are employed strategically then you can outrank any EMD very easily. Before someone challenges my statement as being unfounded I will offer up an example.
Keyword "seo"
The domain www.seo.com doesn't rank first. If it was so powerful it should rank first.
Now we know the term seo would be very competitive and I am using to illustrate that yes maybe on very low competition keywords EMD are a quick way to rank but so would employing tradition SEO practices on any other domain targeting a certain keyword. EMD are effective because they are easy to employ not because they are powerful in themselves. A balanced SEO strategy is more powerful then any EMD without any SEO.

Wow, guys. Just...wow. How about that game yesterday, huh? Hoo boy!
Yessir, it would have been hard to predict THAT outcome!
Much like it would have been hard to write this post two days ago because I had to catch up on Downton Abbey urgent things to do on Sunday. Or maybe my power went out. It could have. YOU DON'T KNOW. [poker face]
Alright, look, it's long been established that sports fans speak their own language. And I'm not judging! Dude, I once wore a Bajoran earring and Starfleet insignia. TO HIGH SCHOOL. So believe me, I'm not gonna say word one if you guys want to call it the:
Or if you believe you've contracted:
(Just tell me there's no lancing involved. At least not the icky kind. Actual lancing with horses and knights and stuff would be kind of awesome.)
And I'll only snicker a little when you cheer on your:
"Fire at will, Number One! It's evacuating the rear exhaust ports!"
And hey, just because "The kich 15 good" means nothing to me, that doesn't mean I respect you sport people any less!
I'll just respond with a little "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" and we'll call it even!
After all, you guys have your "Patrits:"
And your "Gaints Beat Patroits:"
And we have Tribbles and Reavers and Sith lords. (Oh my!)
You score "Toachdowns:"
Or "Tochdowns:"
And we reconfigure the programming on our Kobayashi Marus.
Which, just for the record, is NOT CHEATING.
See what I mean? We're basically all the same! We all have our passions, and our quirks, and sometimes - SOMETIMES - we all make mistakes.
But seriously, guys, I have no idea what you're talking about. Can someone translate this into Klingon for me?
Hey Mary M., Melissa M., Lynn H., Dan H., Erin W., Amber G., Molly S., Jessica S., Sara J., & Janette R., lupDujHomwIj lubuy'moH gharghmey! So I hope you like sushi.

When it comes to PING many things come to mind, quality, engineering, performance and irons are among the first things most people will think of. And with the release earlier this year of the G410 irons, PING has hit on each one of those characteristics.
Following the huge success of the G400 irons, PING has hit a home run with the striking black and red colors of this iron, as well as a being a bit more streamlined in all the right places. PING has achieved the rare feat of providing an iron that has a profile appealing to even the most discerning of golfers, but yet still offering the forgiveness and help that higher handicaps look for.
We are looking for three forum members to join staff member Golfspy_Stroker in testing, reviewing and keeping a set of these G410's built to their custom specs. Testing will require a nearly two month commitment of putting the irons in play on the course, at the range and providing ongoing commentary in the forum thorough out the process.
As an extra bonus to the irons, the selected testers will have the option to choose Golf Pride Tour Velvet grips equipped with Arccos. The clubs will come with a 99 day free trial to arccos. After that the tester would be responsible for paying for the subscription in order to continue it. It will be a great way to add data to your review.
PING has opened this testing to all golfers regardless of country of residence. All you have to do to be eligible for the testing is follow the below instructions.
In a post in this thread please provide the following information...AND DO NOT QUOTE this post when replying!
First Name/State or Country of residence
Current irons in Play
The carry distance of the your 7 iron
That's it. Good luck to everybody
We'll be selecting the testers within the next 10 to 14 days, so check back to see if you've been selected!
Please join me in congratulating these members selected from a very large and diverse applicant pool:

Shankster and PING Blueprint Irons---A Match Made in Heaven?
Every so often we do a special review of a club on MGS. Usually it's when the OEM provides us with one set or one driver etc for review, it's not practical to open it up to over 500 to 1,000 applications and pick just one person.
So when the Blueprint review was generously offered by PING with the stipulation it went to a member who was a true low single digit handicap, we discussed as a group who would be an ideal member to reach out to test these beauties. Honestly at least half a dozen names came to mind, but some of them were already involved in a testing or had just completed one.
Then one name really jumped out at us, Shankster. Not just because he fit the handicap requirement, but if there is any one person on this site who is a more of a traditionalist and prefers the minimalist design in a club than Alan, we don't know who it is.
When we reached out to Shankster, it took him about 1 minute to say yes, and that's only because he was recovering from the shock of being asked and making sure he wasn't being punked! We had to work through the timing of his move from Michigan to Maryland, but all that got sorted out.
Not knowing exactly when today he'll get his post up, I'll leave you with a few of these.

PING introduces next generation
of custom-fit women's equipment
PHOENIX (July 1, 2019): Advancements in technology, lighter overall club weight, expanded fitting options and premium materials combine to make the new G Le2 family PING's highest performing women's clubs to date, the company announced today. The complete line of clubs is available for pre-order at authorized PING golf shops around the world beginning today.
"The G Le2 represents our continued commitment to providing women golfers of every skill level with premium, high-performance equipment optimized to their swing speeds," said Stacey Pauwels, PING Executive Vice President and the granddaughter of PING founders Karsten and Louise Solheim, whose role includes overseeing the brand's women's initiatives."
"To achieve one of our performance goals of improving the feel of the club throughout the entire swing, we focused on making the clubs lighter overall," Pauwels added. "We integrated our extensive knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes with our proven design technologies to deliver measurable improvements throughout the set. At the same time, we wanted to present the new clubs in a visually appealing and confidence-inspiring way. We're extremely excited about the results and look forward to bringing the G Le2 family to women golfers around the world."
Custom fit and custom built
Along with ensuring measurable performance improvements throughout the G Le2 family, PING's engineering team placed added importance on expanding the fitting options to help women find the ideal set to match their games.
"Having equipment that is custom fitted to their games allows women to see improvement from every club in their bag," said Pauwels. "The G Le2 family really emphasizes that need through loft, lie and length adjustability along with the shaft weight, flex and grip offerings. Once we know those specifications, finding the best combination of fairway woods, hybrids, irons and wedges during a fitting is the next step in the process."
"Because we custom build every club, we want women to know we'll make them a set that best fits their game," she said. "The key is determining the ideal set makeup that provides proper distance gaps between each club. That may be a full set or maybe a smaller set of a few metal woods, hybrids, irons, a wedge and a putter. Once we have all their fitting information, we can custom build the clubs to their precise specifications for maximum performance."
Lighter, faster, more forgiving driver
The next generation of golf's highest-performing women's driver maximizes forgiveness and distance through a higher MOI, faster face and lighter overall weight. Its titanium head features a rounder, more aerodynamic shape to promote faster clubhead speeds. A thin, forged T9S+ face is optimized for the intended swing speed to increase flexing for more ball velocity and improved launch conditions. Internal heel-biased weighting helps ensure straighter ball flights and softer turbulators help frame the ball at address. Trajectory Tuning 2.0 in the G Le2 driver utilizes a new lightweight, aerodynamic hosel sleeve that provides eight positions for influencing ball flight through loft (±1.5°) adjustments.
Faster faces, higher-launching, adjustable fairway woods
A thinner, faster maraging steel C300 face, a significantly higher MOI and an 8-lobe adjustable hosel distinguish the G Le2 fairway wood from its predecessor. The added ball speed from the face technology increases distance and combines with the shallower face to launch the ball higher with greater forgiveness. An overall lighter club weight makes swinging the club easier with more clubhead speed for longer and straighter results. Internal weighting promotes right-to-left shot correction to keep shots on target. Available in 3, 5, 7 and 9 woods.
Lighter, longer and straighter irons
Precise and forgiving with a lighter overall club weight, G Le2 irons utilize COR-Eye Technology with a deep top-rail undercut to increase face flexing for more ball speed and higher max height. A tungsten toe weight helps increase MOI by 10% for greater forgiveness and a co-molded cavity badge ensures a pleasing feel and sound. Available in 6-9 iron, PW, UW, SW.
Faster face, higher-launching hybrids with more fitting choices
A thinner, hotter Carpenter 455 face and lighter club weight generate faster ball speeds while a lower, deeper CG helps increase the MOI to launch the ball high with greater forgiveness. The addition of a 34⁰ 7 hybrid expands the fitting options for women who prefer the technology of a hybrid in place of an iron. Softer crown turbulators help capture the ball at address and aid in alignment. Available in 4, 5, 6 and 7 hybrids.
Adjustable putters with feel and forgiveness
Enhanced feel and forgiveness and a new adjustable-length shaft improve performance and fitting opportunities in the three new G Le2 putters (Anser, Shea and Echo). A dual-durometer face insert -- engineered with TR face technology -- provides a soft front layer for precision and improved impact feel and a firmer second layer for control to improve consistency on putts of every distance. The easy-to-use adjustable shaft allows self-fitting for length between 31" and 35". A new, softer PP59 midsize grip improves feel and comfort.
Lighter shafts, softer grips
PING's proprietary ULT240 Lite and Ultra Lite premium graphite shafts are standard throughout the G Le2 family and help bring down overall club weight while helping generate more clubhead speed and higher launch. The super-soft Golf Pride Tour Velvet Garnet 360 grip is available in three sizes (Blue -1/16", Red -1/32", Aqua -1/64").

True Blood
(Here is the trailer for the first season of the show!)
Season 3 just started and I am loving every second. True Blood is based on a series of novels by Charlaine Harris but seriously PWNS the heck out of them. Allan Ball (Six Feet Under) took the basic premise of the novels - being a vampire has just been made legal, telepathic waitress hooks up with one, chaos ensues - and uses it as the foundation for a wonderfully Southern Gothic series that touches on a lot of the major trigger points of American culture at the moment - gays, God, and guns. (The fact that Alexander Skarsgard aka Team Eric is easy on the eyes doesn't hurt any, either.)
Allison Iraheta
I discovered punky pop princess Allison Iraheta when she opened for Adam Lambert on the Glam Nation tour and I have been unable to put down her album since then. Produced in true American Idol-alum style by a butt-load of producers, Just Like You is a surprisingly coherent and extremely catchy pop-rock album. Allison has a phenomenal voice - powerful but firmly under her control - and a great sense of rhythmic timing. And if she was the one selecting the songs, she has great taste, too. With song lyrics about how "You Don't Know Me" so you can't judge her and other ones telling a texting obsessed lover to put down the God-damned phone, she puts out a much more spunky version of young womanhood than the infantile Taylor "Please Like Me" Swift.
OMG/Teach Me How to Dougie
My summer jams - I like hip-hop.
"OMG" by Usher is pure, club-busting hip-hop with classic lyrics like "Her booty like 'Pow Pow Pow'/ Her boobies like "Wow O Wow" that just keep me coming back for more.
"Teach Me How to Dougie" by the Cali Swag Crew is the exact opposite of "OMG" - charmingly amateur in its catchiness but catchy nonetheless.
Vikram/Arshad Warsi
This one isn't a surprise. These men are currently pressing all my buttons. Arshad is currently dancing up a storm on Zara Nach and twit-picing adorable pictures of himself on Twitter and after charming my socks off in Raavanan, I've been catching up with Vikram's back catalog.
I don't know what it is that unites the two of them in my mind except that they are both devilishly handsome with buckets of masculine charisma.
Katrina Kaif
(Check out the epic bitch-face from the crowd.)
I want to marry her and have her babies. Girlfriend is super-fine and I could watch in the crappiest roles all day long. Fortunately, she has chosen some un-crappy roles and I'll get to see her working with two of the most talented (and coincidentally both female!) directors in Bollywood at the moment - Farah Khan and Zoya Akhtar.
Jersey Shore
(Watch the trailer!)
This one might get me some flack but I don't care! I love the cast of Jersey Shore completely unironically. Basically, I am Snooki, snooking for love in all the wrong places. It bugs me that they have become a national joke because when it comes right down to it, who hasn't gotten so drunk they bite some random person's nipples or dance alone on the sidewalk? We are Jersey Shore!
Plus, how cute is Vinny? Cute, right?! They had better not fire him for season 3.
And the stuff I'm looking forward to... Once Upon a Time in Mumbai! Twilight: Eclipse! Tees Maar Khan! Action Replayy! Jersey Shore SEASON 2!
I love things!!!

YES! But How? Nit Picking
There is—thank goodness, since health professionals are seeing head lice that are resistant to commonly used insecticides. There is even a new pill on the market for resistant infestations.
Children in school are more likely than adults to catch head lice, and may need multiple treatments for resistant lice or recurring infestations. Going the natural route is a safe alternative that is recommended by community health professionals and is four times more effective than over-the-counter insecticide treatments.
The natural treatment for head lice requires an understanding of the head louse life cycle. During the mating stage, female lice lay eggs, called nits, that are glued to the base of the hair and require body heat for incubation. Nits hatch into nymphs that become adults in about seven days.
Natural treatments done thoroughly through repeated cycles will eliminate head lice—without poisons.
• It's most effective to treat someone who is sitting down, so you can easily reach all around the head. Sitting in the bathtub, or in a chair with a towel around the shoulders is most comfortable.
• Slather wet hair from root to tip with any kind of thick conditioner until every strand is heavily saturated. Conditioner smothers and immobilizes the head lice and makes it easy to comb through the hair.
• Remove conditioner and head lice by combing small sections of hair from root to tip with a lice comb. Inspect the comb as you go along and rinse away any lice caught in it.
• Rinse off any remaining conditioner.
• Combing with conditioner doesn't kill nits, so repeat every three to four days to catch newly hatched nymphs.
It takes three treatments to end an infestation. Between treatments, do nightly wet or dry brushing or combing. This breaks the lice's legs and prevents them from feeding, eliminating ones that hatch between conditioner treatments. Remember: "break their legs so they don't lay eggs."
Head lice can live for up two days without a blood source. Personal possessions that touch the head like pillowcases, hats, and hair accessories should be washed or kept in a tightly sealed container for longer than two days.
More YES! But How?

Below are instructions for a very simple window shade. They are loosely based on a pattern I purchased several years ago—Vogue 1247, a "very easy" pattern. I love these shades because they are endlessly adaptable, and I have dreamed up so many variations that I have not had the chance to implement.
Window treatments are so expensive, often because they involve so much fabric, but these use only twice the size of your window (I suppose you could even make them unlined if privacy is not a concern). These could be made using new or thrifted fabrics. I have also dreamed of making little window quilts, because I think the stitching would play so interestingly in the light. There is even the possiblity of embellishing these with appliques or trimmings.
Please email me if you get the chance to make these, I would love to post some on the blog. Also, let me know if you find any mistakes in this tutorial so I can correct them as soon as possible.
Note: Keep in mind that you need to be able to reach the top of the shade in order to operate it, so if you are short or have very tall windows this could be a problem.
Shade hanging from top and second loops
1 Place hooks in the upper corners of your window frame.
I have used white cup hooks from Target on the pictured window, but there are obviously more creative options here, including decorative hooks or very small knobs. There is also room to deviate with the placement of the hooks. For example, if you place another set of hooks half way down the window, you could open the shade from the top down. You could also place them at even more intervals for greater possibilities.
2 Measure windows.
3 Add 1" to horizontal and vertical measurements to allow for ½" seam allowances.
4 Cut two pieces of fabric to these measurements, one for front, and one for back.
The front piece can be made of one piece of fabric, or many fabrics pieced together, but keep in mind that because light shows through curtains, your seams will be visible, so make them as even and neat as possible.
For the back, it may be best to choose a light non-printed fabric to minimize fading. You could use a curtain lining fabric, but you could also use thrifted sheets or other used fabrics.
5 Cut out fabric for loops, keeping in mind the design possibilities here.
Start with one 2" x 30" strip of fabric. Fold in ½ lengthwise, stitch long edge together (½" seam allowance). Trim seam allowance to scant ¼". Turn and press. Cut the long strip into six, 5" segments. Bring ends of each segment together, basting if necessary.
The above measurements will make loops that are about 2 ½" long. Check your hook placement to make sure that that length is adequate to make it from the edge of the shade to your hooks. Make the loops longer if necessary.
6 Lay shade front flat, right side up. For loop placement, take the vertical measurement of the shade and divide by 5. Place one loop on each side ½" from the top of the shade, aligning raw edges of the loop with the raw edge of the shade and pinning. Place another loop 2/5 of the way down the shade, and another 4/5 of the way down (on each side).
There is quite a bit of room for experimentation when it comes to placing these loops. The above measurements simply get you a neatly folded shade at the top of your window when fully folded up. If you placed more loops down each side, you would have greater flexibility in how these can be arranged on your windows.
7 Place shade lining on top of shade front and loops, right side down. (Right sides are now facing with loops sandwiched between) Pin front and lining together.
8 Sew around three sides of shade, leaving top or bottom of shade open for turning.
9 Turn shade.
10 Turn the 4th side of shade under ½" and pin.
11 Press shade.
12 Topstitch all four sides of blind as close as you can to the edge (1/4" or less).
13 Hang blind as desired on the hooks.
Note: I will add more photos if the sun ever comes out again in Michigan.

After a half-century marred by war and economic stagnation, Ho Chi Minh City-a.k.a. Saigon-has come into its own with a tireless energy few places can match. (Just watch out for those scooters.)
Author Matthew Thompson Photography Michael Turek
LIKE VIETNAM'S FAMOUS high-octane coffee, Ho Chi Minh City is a jolt to the system. Between the chaotic dance of the motor scooters hurtling through the streets, the businessmen in bespoke suits downing bowls of pho, the old women shouldering pots of coconuts on balanced poles, and the ubiquitous vendors peddling an irresistible array of Vietnamese street food, the sheer energy of the place is intoxicating.
Though long a major port of call for the Mekong Delta's rice trade, a recent warming of relations with the West has led Ho Chi Minh City out of its postwar doldrums into a blooming economic renaissance. Now the city (call it Saigon-most natives do) is transforming its skyline and streetscape with a puzzlework of new high-rises and luxe shops. An average day in modern Saigon might involve sipping artisanal beer at a Czech brewpub, haggling over the price of silk scarves at a market and white-knuckling it on a crosstown scooter-taxi ride en route to April 30 Park-all punctuated with regular doses of sweet iced coffee. You'll need the kick to keep up with the pace of life in this frenetic city.
Image – Michael Turek
I download the Three Perfect Days: Ho Chi Minh City
PDF but it's a PDF for each page, separately, it should be one complete article, in one PDF?
That should be fixed for you now.
Cannot download, file is corrupted/invalid
Try again now – it should work for you.
Hi, I just want to know how much approximately did you spend in those 3 days?

I would like to see what it would look like with some color integrated into the Jordan river. It looks a little bland now.
Koontz is correct the bridges do look blurry.
I thought the mountains did have shading, does he mean a drop shadow?
like Koontz said the highlight too ex the bottom left of DIBON and Bottom of JEZREEL
Could you try lowing your bonus region borders to 75% opacity too see if that looks good. It might not, i will leave that up to your discretion.
There is a strange faint white line above the title of the map I don't know if that was meant to be there.
Is there a way to blend in the line better between the Jordan river and the Dead sea. It looks a little odd, like it is a seperate entity and not joined.
The highlight for Simeon blend in with the river around it. I don't know if you have any colors left to use but a different color might make the river stand out more.
The highlight around Rimmon too blends in with the water, especially with it being at the end of the river it looks like it flows into it. Again I don't know if you have any colors left to use.
Sorry I haven't commented lately, I am no good commenting on game play. I like looking at graphics though.
As always these are suggestions, just trying to give a new way to look at the map. I am no where experienced in the graphics field. just trying to give my opinion for what it's worth

- Added the border around the river in the legend.
- Also, reversed the flow of the rivers on the Med Sea side so the mouths blend in more.

John Henry Hanson FRICS became President of the Surveyors' Institution for the years 1915/16, and took pride in being the first Yorkshireman to achieve this status.
His life is not well documented, though it appears he was born in 1851 and was educated in Birmingham.
In his early years as a surveyor he was articled to John H Abbey CE of Huddersfield (designer of Huddersfield Town Hall, Huddersfield Borough Surveyor, and one of a long line of Yorkshire surveyors); from there he took the role of Borough Surveyor of Barnsley.
On the death of J H Abbey in 1880, John H Hanson took over the practice, which was established in 1835, and remained a senior partner of Abbey & Hanson until his death.
As a surveyor his areas of practice were: acquisition of land for public purposes, protection of water rights for the mill owners of West Riding, and acting on river pollution (he gave evidence on this subject to a Royal Commission).
Records show that, at this time, the first section of the Huddersfield Co Operative building (1886/7) was designed by Hanson, for the Huddersfield Industrial Society and that in 1887 Hanson and his associate, Joseph Armitage, purchased the Thornton Lodge Estate in Huddersfield for £6,250.
The surveyors then set about developing the estate with high density, low value, back to back housing, shops and industrial units. This area, to the south west of Huddersfield town centre, is still called Thornton Lodge and parts of the original lodge house still exist. Hanson became the sole owner of this estate on the death of Armitage soon after their purchase.
"Hanson was both "local and global" - and that still informs AHR today. On the one hand, he cared about Huddersfield and played a major role in shaping the town, At the same time, as President of the Surveyors' Institution, he was concerned with professional excellence on a much broader scale. Of course, RICS is now a global presence, which I think he would have appreciated. AHR has followed a similar path, going global and taking up new opportunities, and has never lost sight of the solid foundations Hanson helped lay — it still has its feet firmly planted in Yorkshire soil" - Former AHR Chairman, Malcolm Ellis
Other notable projects of the firm, which today trades as AHR, include the monument on top of Castle Hill, near Huddersfield. Constructed in 1899, and known as Victoria Tower, it was built to celebrate 60 years of the reign of Queen Victoria — Abbey & Hanson were the supervising surveyors. This contrasts notably with the Al Bahr Towers, Abu Dhabi, for which the modern day AHR were the architects in 2013.
Abbey Hanson also had the distinction of completing the first valuation for the Halifax Building Society, whose HQ building the firm helped design in later years, dated 13 May 1882.
At the age of 40, Hanson was elected to membership of the Institution, followed by election to the Council in 1909. At this time, the firm was recorded to be based at 11 Cloth Hall St Huddersfield, now the site of a jewellers shop in the centre of the town.
In his speech on being elected President of the Institution, Hanson was concerned to report that, for the first time in the history of the institution, there was a recorded drop in membership numbers (5,482 in 1914 to 5,385 in 1915). This was put down to the impact of the war and also to changes in the entry requirements that had just been implemented. These changes had meant applicants must pass both the intermediate and final exams before being accepted.
His speech reported that 1,063 Institution members were serving in the forces (including four members of staff) and that 29 members had fallen in the war. In his next speech six months later, this had risen to 46.
Also of note was his reference to a request by the War Office and the Admiralty for the Institution to find experienced building and quantity surveyors to volunteer to work in England and France in order to assist in providing temporary buildings for hospitals, stores and troop housing. That year, as a mark of respect, the Institution's dinner and annual country meeting were cancelled.
Our records indicate that Hanson died in October 1941, just short of his 90th birthday. During his career he had also been a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and a president of the North of England Land Agent and Valuers Association.
Hanson's legacy is longstanding. 175 years on, the firm he helped to establish is still going strong, and while it has been through a number of transformations — from Abbey and Hanson to Abbey Hanson Rowe, then Abbey Holford Rowe, and finally trading as Aedas before, in 2014, returning to its roots as AHR — Hanson's values still inform the practice today.

Research in Motion launches BlackBerry 10, changes corporate name
Research in Motion launched the highly-anticipated makeover of its mobile operating system, BlackBerry 10, and two new smartphones at a press event in New York City on Wednesday.
RIM kicked off the launch event with endorsements from professionals around the world. The company says it went on a world tour to talk to developers about the BB10.
RIM CEO Thorsten Heins took to the stage to unveil the BB10's final features and the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10, which will be the first to run exclusively on the BB10 OS.
"This is one of the biggest launches in our industry and today is not the finish line, it's the starting line," said CEO Heins.
BB10 has a feature called Balance, which is geared toward professionals who use their devices for personal use and work by using swipe gestures to switch between "work" and "personal" profiles. RIM boasts that businesses can keep data secure without forcing employees to carry two mobile devices.
BB10 launches with over 70,000 applications, including Skype, Amazon Kindle and WhatsApp. BlackBerry Messenger also gets a big update. The chat client now offers video chatting and BBM Screen Share - a feature that lets users share their entire screens over BBM.
BlackBerry Flow was also unveiled. The feature allows users to move seamlessly between apps by using swipe gestures instead of a home button.
Heins also announced that RIM is changing its name from "Research in Motion" to "BlackBerry." According to CNBC, the new Nasdaq ticker symbol will be BBRY.
Heins surprised audiences when he announced that singer Alicia Keys has been named the company's new Global Creative Director, saying that Keys has been in a "long-term relationship" with the BlackBerry.
BlackBerry Z10 is a touchscreen device running on BB10, has a 4.2-inch 1,280 x 768 touchscreen display with a 356 pixel density, front- and rear-facing cameras and comes in black and white. BlackBerry Q10 will keep a full QWERTY keyboard and has a 3.1-inch display. Both devices have 4G LTE capabilities.

U.S. wireless carriers AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile will be announcing pre-registration and price plans today. The white version of the Z10 will be exclusive to Verizon and will cost $199 with a two-year contract. AT&T says it will announce pricing and availability in the coming weeks.
BlackBerry Z10 will be not be available in the U.S. until March. The United Kingdom will be able to purchase the smartphone on tomorrow, Canada on Feb. 5, and United Arab Emirates on Feb. 10. There are no details on a release date or price for the BlackBerry Q10.

Things are getting weird in Cleveland.
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has withdrawn his interest in the Browns' coaching vacancy, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday on NFL Network's "Around the League Live." ESPN's Adam Schefter first reported the news.
Schefter reported that McDaniels had an "awesome" meeting with the team, but decided it wasn't the right time to become a head coach again after being fired by the Broncos in 2010.
Seen by many as the apple of Browns general manager Michael Lombardi's eye, McDaniels interviewed for the job over the weekend.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported beforehand that New England's play-caller was no sure bet to accept the role, even if it was offered to him. The father of four young children, McDaniels reportedly was motivated to return to the Patriots in 2012 to create stability for his family after two years in Denver and a single season with the St. Louis Rams. He's being paid well by the Patriots and in no rush to move on -- at least not to Cleveland.
With Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, CEO Joe Banner and Lombardi calling the shots, the team's next coach won't have the opportunity to mold his own roster. Rob Chudzinski -- fired after one season -- embraced that challenge, but this tangled and shrouded front-office structure is ripe to scare off big-name candidates.
If the Browns were hoping to make a splash with this hire, it's anyone's guess what they're thinking at this stage. After losing out on Chip Kelly a season ago -- and having to sell their second choice to a badgered fan base -- the spin job this time is bound to be fierce.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" featured a very special in-studio visit from Bears star Brandon Marshall.

School of Accountancy Programs Ranked 34th and 37th by Public Accounting Report
A publication widely read within the accounting profession, Public Accounting Report, has ranked the School of Accountancy at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University at 34th in the nation, with its graduate program at 37th.
This is the first year the graduate program has been nationally ranked by the Public Accounting Report. The undergraduate program made the list for the first time in 2012 when the publication ranked it 46th in the country. The rankings are based on a survey of accounting professors across the country.
The Public Accounting Report describes itself as the "leading provider of competitive intelligence for public accounting firms and the profession." It is targeted at accounting firm partners and professionals, opinion leaders and industry observers.
Larry Walther, who heads the School of Accountancy, said he believes a number of things have raised the profile of the School of Accountancy, including the news that:
- Jill Aoki and Anthony Lemon, who graduated with master's in accounting degrees from USU in 2012, both earned the Elijah Watt Sells Award this year. Of the more than 92,000 graduates who took the CPA examination, only 39 scored high enough on the test to qualify for the award.
Jeffrey Doyle was the faculty research fellow at the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
- This year Huntsman students and officers of the accounting club, Beta Alpha Psi, traveled to a Deloitte Best Practices contest and took first place in two areas at the regional competition that drew people from across the country. The contest assessed their ability to be innovative and imaginative.
- Three new highly-regarded faculty members joined the School of Accountancy in 2012: Richard Price, from Rice University; Chad Simon, from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; and Nicole Forsgren-Valasquez, from Pepperdine University.
- Jeffrey Doyle, George S. Eccles Chair in Capital Markets Research, recently returned from a one-year appointment as the faculty research fellow at the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). That is the organization that establishes the standards of financial accounting that govern the preparation of financial reports by nongovernmental entities.
- Brian Monsen, who graduated with a master's in accounting degree in 2010, was named a postgraduate technical assistant at FASB and has since returned to teach summer classes at the School of Accountancy.
- Huntsman Professor Nate Stephens and his coauthors were honored with two "Best Paper" awards at the 2012 American Accounting Association meeting.
Dr. Walther said that these accomplishments and others, coupled with professors serving in leadership positions in national accounting organizations, have raised the profile of the Huntsman School of Business, and may have helped the school earn this national recognition.
"Creating a positive national reputation is a key part of our strategic plan," Dr. Walther said. "It's very pleasing to see some independent confirmation that we are succeeding in doing just that. When our students and faculty receive national recognition for their work, it opens doors for our graduates, and in the end, that's a big part of what we are about: becoming career accelerators for our students and alumni."

Gulf Shrimp Season Closing May 15
AUSTIN — The Gulf of Mexico commercial shrimp season for both state and federal waters will close 30 minutes after sunset on Tuesday, May 15 until an unspecified time in July.
The closing date is based on samples collected by the Coastal Fisheries Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department using trawl, bag seine and other information gathered from the shrimping industry.
Data regarding TPWD brown shrimp bag seine catch rates, mean lengths of shrimp in April 2012, percent of samples containing shrimp, and periods of maximum nocturnal ebb tidal flow indicate a May 15 closing date is appropriate. Typically, once the shrimp reach about 3½ inches long, they begin their migration back to the Gulf.
"The closure is designed to allow these small shrimp to grow to a larger more valuable size before they are vulnerable to harvest," said Robin Riechers, TPWD coastal fisheries division director. "The goal is to achieve optimum benefits for the shrimping industry while providing proper management to protect the shrimp."
The Texas closure applies to Gulf waters from the coast out to nine nautical miles. The National Marine Fisheries Service has announced federal waters out to 200 nautical miles also will be closed to conform to the Texas closure.
While the statutory opening date for the Gulf season is July 15, TPWD's Coastal Fisheries Division will be sampling shrimp populations to determine the optimum opening date for both the shrimp and the shrimpers. No announcement will be made concerning the re-opening until June data are collected.

- Take the first step towards becoming an HVACR Technician in a matter of months
- Learn online, at a pace that's right for you
- Affordable tuition with customized payment plans
- Regionally and nationally accredited Career School
We found 3 schools in our database that offer HVAC training programs in Nevada! We've listed them below. The cost data is what we found going to their websites in 2014, but it may change over time, so make sure to confirm it when you talk to the school. We will try and keep it up to date!
"Cohort Default Rate" is a statistic you will see listed for many schools. It's a measure the US Department of Education uses that basically represents what percent of the school's recent graduates are currently in default on their student loans. There's more info on that here.
You should make sure to contact at least a few different schools and talk to the people in charge of the HVAC program. You never know which one you may end up liking best, and the schools themselves can tell you much more about their programs than a site like ours can. We're just here to help you get started. Good luck!

Given the centrality of the ratings discourse to the everyday workings of the television industry in India today, I find it a bit surprising that we do not have a good historical account of the development of the ratings business. We've all heard of IMRB, TAM, and of course, the growing influence of Nielsen in the Indian market. While these large market research companies dominate the scene today, the practice of rating the popularity and viewership of television programs was kicked off by a trade magazine called TV and Video World.
The magazine was run out of a small office in Nariman Point in south Bombay, and was the only trade magazine that covered the development of television and video. I discovered this magazine when browsing through the stacks at the Memorial library in UW-Madison a few years ago, and managed to go through them again this past May. Anyhow, here's the snapshot:

CRS promotes natural family planning
- Written by Woo
- Published in Commentary
By Carolyn Woo
An ordinary calendar and a bracelet-like chain of brown and white beads hardly seem like cutting-edge technology in fighting poverty.
But these simple tools that help a woman track her fertility cycle as part of natural family planning —white beads for days pregnancy is more likely and brown for less likely — are part of the antipoverty work done by Catholic Relief Services in places such as East Timor and Burundi.
Why would a relief and development agency make natural family planning part of its work?
Because as a Catholic organization, we see the sacredness and dignity of the human person as a foundational principle of our fight against global poverty. Natural family planning offers women in the developing world a way to space births that respects life. More time between pregnancies helps prevent mothers from dying during labor and improves the chances that babies will be born healthy and thrive.
Recently, Pope Francis led the church in commemorating Pope John Paul II's encyclical Evangelium Vitae (The Gospel of Life). Therefore, it is fitting to reflect on how we as Catholics embody the Gospel of Life.
The Gospel of Life is a thread that runs through the breadth of work CRS does, respecting and protecting human life from conception until natural death. Living the Gospel of Life means protecting all human life, including fighting such threats to life as poverty, hunger and war. Pope Francis has called the church to be a vigilant church, so that, gazing upon the crucified Christ, it may not forget the many brothers and sisters who are left at the mercy of violence. Also, the church must not forget those who find themselves in economically precarious situations, above all for the unemployed, the elderly, migrants, the homeless, prisoners and those who experience marginalization.
This is why CRS represents the U.S. Catholic community in addressing poverty and suffering around the world, including by offering natural family planning and other programs that strengthen marriages and families. One example is a program called Faithful House, a faith-based, skills-building curriculum that aims to strengthen the family through enhanced couple communication. The curriculum is currently used in 11 countries.
In the past five years, CRS has supported at least 16 projects around the world that have integrated natural family planning into larger health programs, including those that focus on maternal and child health. Modern natural family planning involves medically sound, scientifically proven methods that are based on the day-to-day observation of the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of a woman's menstrual cycle. These methods take advantage of the changes associated with ovulation, treating each cycle as unique.
Studies have shown that natural family planning is 97 to 99 percent effective when practiced by couples who understand the method guidelines and are clear about their family planning intentions — that is, whether they want to achieve or avoid pregnancy. Others who are unclear about their family planning intention (e.g., spacing or limiting pregnancy) or are less motivated, are less likely to consistently follow the method's guidelines and have a lower effectiveness rate of 80-90 percent.
As CRS celebrates its 70th anniversary and looks ahead to decades of service, we want to make sure that we and church health institutions throughout the developing world continue to have the space and the funding to implement these evidence-based programs that promote the Gospel of Life.
