Coyotes Lose Championships Opener 5-2
FARGO, ND — Fort Wayne catcher Dani Pugh's three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth inning broke a 1-1 tie and proved to be the difference as IPFW went on to win 5-2 in the opening round of the Summit League Championships at Ellig Sports Complex on Thursday night. The Coyotes (29-19, 12-7 Summit League) will face Kansas City at 3 p.m. tomorrow in an elimination game.
Erica Denney (17-8) went the distance on the mound for USD, allowing four earned runs on 11 hits and striking out three. Kate Snow was 2 for 3 at the plate with two RBIs, while Lindsey Boyd was 2 for 4 with a stolen base and Matley Jones hit her eighth double of the season.
IPFW pitcher Miranda Kramer (22-7) set a new Summit League Championships record with 15 strikeouts in the complete game effort. She also allowed six hits and walked one 'Yote.
South Dakota plated one run in the top of the second inning to open the scoring. Morgan Hancock led off with a walk, advanced to third on Christine Broders' bunt single and scored on a single by Snow.
Fort Wayne (32-13, 12-4 SL) tied the game in the bottom of the third inning. With no outs and Larissa Franklin on second base Ashleigh Bou doubled down the left field line, scoring her teammate.
Two innings later Pugh's three-run shot gave her team the lead for good. Fort Wayne added one more run in the stanza, pushing its lead to 5-1.
The Coyotes' managed one run in their final opportunity at the plate. Kate Snow's single through the middle of the infield scored Katelyn Wudel, who came on to pinch run after Jones' double. It was the 10th RBI of the season for Snow.
Friday afternoon's matchup between USD and UMKC will mark the fourth time the two teams have met this season, as the 'Yotes swept a three-game series with the 'Roos in Vermillion on April 27 and 28.

It was an ugly, chippy, down-to-the-wire, back-and-forth game that one has come to expect from a NFC East divisional game, especially a Cowboys-Redskins game. While many people were predicting a low-scoring affair, I don't think anyone would've guessed that the sole team to score a touchdown would lose. Regardless, our Cowboys are 2-1, sitting in a tie for first place, and next play another undefeated team before a much-needed bye week. Here's what we learned from Monday night's barn-burner:
Sean Lee is a force: The NFC leader in tackles (he is one short of his total from last year), Lee has filled in Brooking's starting spot considerably well. Not only is he a tackling machine, he also had an interception (his two this year are as much as he had all last year), and recovered that last fumble to secure the game. He is doing an excellent job "quarterbacking" Rob Ryan's defense.
Everyone misses Miles: His contagious smile not-withstanding, Austin's presence was surely missed from our inexperienced receiving corps. There were too many times when Romo and his RBs had to tell the receivers were to go, hoping they would at least run the correct routes (which they sometimes didn't). While everyone and their parents knew Witten would be the primary with Dez banged up, that should've at least opened up opportunities for Philips, Ogletree, and Holley-two of whom didn't see a completion at all.
"Almost Anthony" no more?: With Ware deservingly garnering most of the defensive attention, Spencer is slowly becoming a force in his own right. He has a sack in every game this season (already halfway to his personal best for a year) and was seen many times chasing down Redskins from behind. While he will be remembered in this game for the winning sack/fumble, let's hope this is just the beginning of a break-out year for Spencer.
Costa will not be playing center against Detroit: This should go without saying for Garrett, Houck, and Wes Phillips. 4 bad snaps are just inexcusable. I don't care that it's your first year as a starter, but the offense literally starts with the snap. Put someone else in there that knows when to give Tony the ball.
Signs of a running game: Granted, he started slow in the first half (which had some people questioning if he was full strength), but Felix did finish with 115 yards rushing and 40 yards passing. As it's been said, the Cowboys need Jones, Tash, and Murray to step up and take some pressure off of Romo. Detroit can stop the run, so next week might be tough.

Another sexual abuse lawsuit has been filed against the Christian Brothers' Anthony (Raimond) Rose, the 10th in the past 13 months.
By the time the Rev. John Castaldo began molesting a boy named Brooks Thopsey at a Roman Catholic church in Trumbull roughly two decades ago, he had already exhibited behavior that should have kept him from the priesthood, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday on Thopsey's behalf.
Two sexual assault victims suing the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay will be able to pursue punitive damages as part of their case.
A judge ruled Troy and Todd Merryfield can seek punitive damages for what they believe was an intentional cover-up of abuse by the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay.
Reaching into a person's mind to revive repressed memories is an issue that's settled law in one sense, but what remains unsettled is how such memories are used during litigation and whether a lawsuit should be tossed or allowed to proceed to trial.
A former Jordan student is suing Jordan Public Schools for a sexual assault that allegedly occurred during a football camp at Minnesota State University, Mankato in July 2007.
A third lawsuit in North Dakota accusing a former teacher at Fargo's Shanley High School of sex abuse was filed in Cass County District Court on Tuesday.
The case involves a man identified in court papers as John Doe RG. Now a 44-year-old business executive, he contends that, as a boy, he was repeatedly molested by former Indianapolis priest Harry Monroe while he was a parishioner at St. Andrew Catholic Church.
All Americans should be heartened by the recent announcement that the Department of Justice, under the leadership of Attorney General Eric Holder, is strengthening its commitment to fighting crimes of violence against Native American women.

A man who attempted to extort David Letterman for $2 million, Robert Halderman, was arrested today. Halderman was attempting to blackmail David Letterman… saying he would expose Letterman's affairs with female staffers if Letterman didn't pay up! Read more on t his story below!
TMZ has reported the alleged extortionist's name is Robert Halderman. Halderman, 51, lives in Connecticut and has a business in Manhattan.
Manhattan authorities are investigating the extortion plot.
A man threatened to go public with the news of Letterman's affairs and demanded $2 million. Letterman told his studio audience about the extortion plot on Thursday.
"This morning, I did something I've never done in my life," Letterman said as the cameras rolled. "I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury."
In his testimony, Letterman said, he admitted to engaging in sexual relationships with staff members. "My response to that is, yes I have. Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would."
He added, "I feel like I need to protect these people – I need to certainly protect my family."
David Letterman married his longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko in March. They have a five year-old son named Harry.

It was as confusing as it was shocking. How could Christopher Dorner, a former cop and naval officer, turn into a cold blooded killer?
We've been working on that question for weeks, and today, there is some insight perhaps from those who knew him best.
Jason Valadeo flew in from Wisconsin for a memorial service for Dorner, his friend. That's right, there was a memorial service, though it was low key private and not publicized.
However, due to her diligence and sincerity, FOX 11 Legal Analyst Robin Sax was invited by Dorner's mother to attend. Afterwards, she did speak on camera at length to Valadeo, as did another person who knew Dorner well -- former girlfriend Jodi Stark.
We have no interest, of course, in glorifying Dorner. We've said over and over again that what he did was horrifying and no one is sad, quite frankly, that he's dead. However, what we're trying to do is answer the question "why?"
What Valadeo and Stark do is paint a picture of a smart young man who "tried to do the right thing" at all times; how he was essentially shamed and defeated by the LAPD, who he insists fired him unfairly.
Unfortunately, he was either unwilling or unable to get the professional help he needed to deal with his problems, so he spiraled into depression and isolated himself from family and friends, experts say.
Ultimately, he finally snapped feeling that his name had been so tarnished there was no coming back from it. We all know that's not true -- he apparently didn't see it. Combine that with his military and police background and knowledge of weapons and a twisted sense of vengeance, and we know what happened.
The idea is to understand that so as to prevent the ''next'' Dorner from emerging from a toxic brew of emotions/anger/hatred/impulse.

Alex Rodriguez suspended for 2014 season in arbitration announcement
Alex Rodriguez's 2014 season is over before it started.
MLB announced Saturday just before noon Rodriguez will be suspended 162 games after the Yankee third baseman took his performance-enhancing drug suspension to arbitration, where it was heard by arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. He would also be suspended for any 2014 postseason games the Yankees would play.
The original suspension was for 211 games — the remainder of the 2013 season and all of 2014 when it was handed down.
"The number of games sadly comes as no surprise, as the deck has been stacked against me from day one," Rodriguez said in a statement. "This is one man's decision, that was not put before a fair and impartial jury, does not involve me having failed a single drug test, is at odds with the facts and is inconsistent with the terms of the Joint Drug Agreement and the Basic Agreement and relies on testimony and documents that would never have been allowed in any court in the United States because they are false and wholly unreliable."
Rodriguez has always contended he didn't deserve any suspension. He and his lawyers will fight the suspension in federal court and try to get an injunction that would allow him to play this season. Horowitz's full written ruling will not be released by MLB, however, it could become public in court. Rodriguez may also have to deny steroid use after 2003 — when he already said he used PEDs in Texas.
The reference to "testimony and documents that would never have been allowed in any court" is due to MLB reportedly paying for documents from the Biogenesis clinic.
"I have been clear that I did not use performance enhancing substances as alleged in the notice of discipline, or violate the Basic Agreement or the Joint Drug Agreement in any manner, and in order to prove it I will take this fight to federal court," Rodriguez said.
The story of Rodriguez's connection to the Miami-area Biogenesis clinic first broke almost exactly one year ago when the Miami New-Times published a story about the clinic being investigated. Rodriguez was one of the bold-faced names heavily mentioned in the report detailing clinic founder Anthony Bosch's relationship with, and distribution of performance-enhancing drugs to, several professional athletes.
Rodriguez's suspension was first announced on Aug. 5, 2013, just as he was about to return from his second major hip surgery. He appealed the suspension, unlike the others suspended, and played that night.
He finished the 2013 season batting .244 with seven home runs and 19 RBIs in 44 games played.
Rodriguez stormed out of his arbitration hearing in November 2013 after it was ruled that MLB commissioner Bud Selig would not have to testify.
The Yankees will also save on the $25 million salary Rodriguez is due in 2014, possibly allowing them to be more involved in signing Japanese free agent pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. The team has said they'd like to keep their payroll under the $189 million luxury tax threshold.
Rodriguez is still under contract with the Yankees through 2017. He is due three years and $61 million, plus possible incentives.

Announcing the appointment of a new University Librarian
Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012
Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Jennifer Nutefall as the
next Santa Clara University Librarian. Jennifer will join the University
community in August 2012.
As University Librarian Jennifer will serve as the public face of the
University Library, interacting closely with students, faculty, staff,
and the community. She will facilitate the use of a broad array of
information resources in support of teaching, learning, scholarship, and
integrated education; provide leadership for the library staff; and work
with other administrative leaders in supporting the University's
Strategic Plan.
Jennifer is currently the Associate University Librarian for Innovative
User Services at Oregon State University. In this role she planned and
supervised a reorganization that enhanced support for faculty research
and student learning; provided the vision and resources for a learning
commons redesign; introduced a rigorous assessment program; and
facilitated the development of a teaching philosophy for the library.
Jennifer earned a master's degree in Library Science from Syracuse
University and a master's degree in higher education administration
from George Washington University.
I would like to sincerely thank Chair Diane Jonte-Pace and members
Emily Armstead, Christa Bailey, Michelle Burnham, Christine Grimsby,
Mary Hood, Michael Kevane, Helene LaFrance, and Alex Zecevic for their
valuable service on the University Librarian screening committee, and Ed
Ryan for staffing the committee. They conducted a quick and very
effective search which identified three excellent candidates for campus
visits. And thanks to all of you who participated in interviews of those
candidates, listened to their presentations, and provided feedback that
helped us reach a final decision.
I also want to acknowledge Robert Boyd, Taeock Kim, Elizabeth McKeigue,
and Deborah Whiteman for their exceptional service as Co-Interim
University Librarians, roles which will continue until Jennifer joins us
in August.
Ron Danielson
Vice Provost for Information Services and Chief Information Officer

Sweetheart Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown Style CRL277 188 190
The Perfect Dress Let me start by saying I have had my eye on this dress since before I even met the man I married. I love every thing about it. I love how tiny it makes your waist, it enhances your curves, its beautiful lace is classic and elegant and then neckline and train are gorgeous. I think this dress is perfect for any type of wedding, night, day, vintage, modern.... I wore this dress last August for my wedding and everyone was blown away. This was the first dress I tried on, and the last. March 21, 2013
Most Beautiful Gown I went into David's looking for my perfect wedding dress. This was my first fitting ever. My wonderful consultant brought me out some dresses - some of them I liked and some I didn't. Based on the things I liked and didn't like during the trying on of these other dresses, he brought out this dress. He told me, "I saved this dress for last, because I know it is the one you will want." He was exactly right! When I put this dress on and walked out to see myself in it, I didn't want to take it off. I LOVED it. I never expected to go into the store and buy a dress that looked like this, but it was perfect once I put it on. I left the store with the dress that exact day! :) February 27, 2013
Stunning This dress was the exact opposite of what I went into the store looking for. I had a very rustic/simple, small church wedding, and I wanted a simple, flowing dress. When I put this one one, it made my hips look so good that I didn't want to take it off! I didn't buy the dress that date because it just wasn't what I was looking for - and I kept looking. But I kept going back to the photo of it on my phone. No dress compared. It truly hugs in all the right places, and I had no trouble getting it to stay up. Wonderful dress! January 24, 2013
My Dream Dress I purchased this dress last winter and when I went for my final fitting this fall it still made me feel amazing. On my wedding day I received so many compliments and people could not believe I did not get this gown at a small boutique! My husband loved it too! This dress is truly flattering in the most timeless way and reminds me of a romantic classic hollywood dress with a bit of sass- it went perfectly with our timeless romantic winter wedding! Thank you for such a wonderful dress that I will love forever. I highly recommend other brides try this on, you won't regret it! Best of luck to all of the brides and congrats! January 1, 2013

James & Sarah's Notting Hill Home
House Tour
Name: Sarah Bernard, husband James, and stepson Edward (on weekends)
Location: Notting Hill, London
Size: 1,100 square feet
Years lived in: 2 years; rented
Sarah's home has a modern, graphic style and a laid-back vibe that makes guests feel immediately at home in their colorful surroundings. Nothing is staged or forced. If you've been a reader for a while, you may recognize some of the colorful furnishings from Sarah's supremely stylish West Village NYC home - now see how Sarah's style has transformed across the pond...
Sarah moved from New York City to London, and didn't think that storage could get any worse than in the places she had lived in NYC. Unfortunately, London has got New York beat for worst storage. Sarah has taken this problem in stride, and items usually hidden away are transformed into stylish art pieces in her home. Things like skis and bicycles hang proudly on the wall, contributing to this lovely home's laid-back, comfortable vibe.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: I love the cleanness of white and the warmth of wood, mixed with pops of color. I want my home to be a light and bright respite on gray London days. And comfort is a must.
Inspiration: Scandinavian designs, graphic patterns, color, and Pinterest.
Favorite Element: Our garden. We live right on Portobello Road, which can get quite noisy and crowded on weekends. Our garden is a quiet sanctuary where we can relax and entertain friends. The wisteria vines growing overhead make it feel like you are sitting in a leafy living room.
Biggest Challenge: Lack of storage. I never thought I would live somewhere with less storage than New York, but London takes the cake. Our few closets are dedicated to our clothes, and our suitcases are shoved under our beds. Luckily we were able to mount our bikes and skis on the wall and turn them into "art".
What Friends Say: What's for dinner?
Biggest Embarrassment: The tile covering the floor and walls of the master bath looks and feels like corrugated cardboard. It makes me cringe.
Proudest DIY: Mounting the skis (evenly). Killed two birds with this one: solved the storage issue and thrilled James by displaying his prized possessions prominently (and tastefully, I hope) in our living room. I love the bright colors and patterns against the white wall.
Biggest Indulgence: Our coffee table. We brought the majority of the furniture with us from New York, but we needed a new coffee table to bring together the living room. I knew I wanted something glass to balance out our hulking couches. Tom Faulkner created this table with a custom gold finish to match our vintage lamps.
Best Advice: If you are moving (especially overseas), buy some graph paper. We combined two New York apartments into one London flat. Before we moved across the Atlantic, I made scale drawings of all our furniture to see how it would fit into our new home. This helped us figure out what to leave behind and also helped the movers position everything where we wanted it. It made the move much easier and more efficient on both ends.
Dream Source: I would love to remodel a home with found pieces and wood from a great salvage yard.

I really love this house. I love how chill and clean it is, and the skis-as-art is brilliant.
Gorgeous home! I love the theme of the skis throughout your home - it really brings out your personalities. Very clean and bright space that you have made warmer with pops of color.
These guys must be seriously wealthy to be able to live here, but their decorating taste is not at all ostentatious or stuffy. The outcome seems comfortable and cheerful.
it's Perfect!
my thoughts exactly!! I love this house.
Lovely home! Great bedrooms and outdoor space.
Well-edited and still lived in. I really love it!
This is a rental? *falls over dead*....it's gorgeous! Love it!
It looks so spacious.
And I hope the front door is blue? (from the street, I mean).
Yep, this checks all the boxes for me – location, eclectic mix of furniture, white-washed walls, pops of colour, creative artwork (skis). And it all looks so warm, personal, and welcoming.
Why is it all Americans who come to live in london choose notting hill?! Must be their romanticised idea of London and/or their companies paying for it!
Beautiful house! Re: storage in London... I don't remember having that issue in 8 years. If you must live in the most expensive areas of London then I guess you don't get so much space for your money.
Almost love this as much as her West Village place, which I have archived as one of my all time favorites. Well, OK, maybe it's a tie. I'm a little sad to see that a quarter of the comments so far reference the cost of the area where they live; I don't see that as terribly relevant to why this place, and her prior place, deserve space on this site.
Thank you Phred! Her incredible style that she chose to share is the only thing that should be commented on.She has amazing taste,her income is NO ONES business.
Very nice!
An eye-pleasing combination of colors, textures, elements, while still leaving lots of breathing room. (I mention the latter because I think I tend to overstuff my rooms with .... stuff ... not cllutter so much, but too much furniture and such...)
These are very good use a Interior for make a awesome and Mind Blowing design Home .
Are you KIDDING me? This place looks massive by regular London standards, and that large wall of built in wardrobe in the bedroom alone qualifies as more than average storage (at least in my eyes). In my last 3 flats the ONLY storage was under the bed. That being said, lovely place! Looks nice, but comfortable and relaxed. That garden is my everything!
I agree about americans and their love for Nottinghill - I thinks its the film.
Those ski mounts are great!! What did you use as the hooks?
Very refreshing - gives me a different (and more positive) view of London living.
This is gorgeous! I am in love with the greenery off of the patio and the kitchen that looks out onto it.
Phred said "I'm a little sad to see that a quarter of the comments so far reference the cost of the area where they live; I don't see that as terribly relevant to why this place, and her prior place, deserve space on this site."
Yes and no Phred. I think people should take into account that Apartment Therapy reaches a worldwide audience. If the occupant of the House Tour makes a statement "Lack of storage. I never thought I would live somewhere with less storage than New York, but London takes the cake.", they are opening themselves up to comments from natives of the city or others who have lived there. This is especially so when the comment is wildly inaccurate. It is true that older british homes were not equipped with built in closets but the typical room size allows for armoires or storage furniture.
The responses about Notting Hill are triggered by the knowledge that if you choose to live in a very trendy and expensive neighborhood, then there will be compromises. This usually relates to the size of the apartment, as it would in Manhattan or any other major city. Perhaps a little more sensitivity should be exercised in making blanket statements about the shortcomings of cities outside New York.
Many things to love here, but one thing that my back cannot take is a bench. A couple of friends, as well as my stepdaughter, have long benches instead of chairs at the table. So uncomfortable, and so annoying to be in pain when the company is good.
so symmetrical
This is going to sound terrible but after seeing the skis and bikes, I started to wonder if the inhabitants were American - then I went back and saw they were American transplants (or at least she is). Absolutely lovely home, very cozy and inviting. Nice to see her incorporate some of her previous furniture into the new home.
Thank you for your kind comments.
rjg225 - We mounted the skis using L-shaped brackets from the hardware store. The skis lean on a slant against the wall, supported by the bindings. A small lip at the end of the bracket prevents them from slipping off.
To those focused on our choice of neighborhood - my husband is British and we chose to live in Notting Hill to be close to his son (not because of the movie).
Re: storage - The question asked about our biggest challenge in decorating our home and that was definitely storage. I can only speak from my own experience, but I was surprised to find that although we moved into a larger flat in London, we had less storage space than in New York (which is well known for its lack of closets). That presented a challenge, especially with a lot of large sporting equipment, but we have found creative ways to make it work. We absolutely love our home and feel very lucky to have found such a light, open space.
Love the bike/ski storage solution!
What a beautiful place - light, comfortable looking, super organized. I love it.
I think it's because they saw the movie of the same name.
What a beautiful place, I can't believe the size for London, I rented there for three years and paid out everything I earnt to live in a box! Moved to the north of England now (much more spacious and a little less costly)
your place is filled with FUN!!! and it looks so cozy at the sam time LOVE IT!!

· Circulation: May's circulation totaled 13,818. This was an increase from May 2006 of 6.6%.
· People Counter: Carl reported that the counts have been trending downward and seems to be a direct correlation to the use of the new book drop which eliminates the need for patrons to come into the library to return books.
· Registration: At the end of May the library was showing 8327 registered card holders.
· Statistics: Statistics for May showed that 13,818 items were circulated with 8,249 registered patrons; there were 5,776 visits to the library, 426 internet users and 99.92 volunteer hours. Our collection size totals 76,514 items.
Building and Property Maintenance:
· The concrete steps leading to the front entrance of the library have deteriorated further. They were repaired for the Strawberry festival, but this is just a temporary fix.
· Report of some small items of furniture to consider selling/discarding.
Other Issues:
· Shelving needs. Additional pieces for the children's room. Additional piece in the AV area.
MOTION: Chris Monterio moved to accept a gift of $3128.47 from F.L.O.W. toward the purchase the 2 DVD display units. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
MOTION: Wendy Keller moved to approve the purchase of these 2 Madison display units. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
· Discussion of whether we should vote now on authorization for Carl to spend the necessary funds to purchase the additional shelving in the children's area this summer as there will be no Board meeting until August. These funds would come out of the CAP 3 accounts.
MOTION: Joan Griffin moved to authorize Carl to spend up to $8000 for the additional shelving needs in the children's area. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously.
· Discussion of the level the Director's is authorized to spend without Board approval.
MOTION: Chris Monterio moved to raise the Director's authority to spend up $2000 without Board approval. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Carl will make this decision part of the policy manual.
· Building: The Building Expansion Committee met on, May 11th While we are still in need of a Chair, 2 sub-committees were formed. One to develop a program of requirements "POR" and a second for public relations. The 2 sub-committees have already met and there will be another meeting of the entire committee on Wednesday June 21.
· F.L.O.W. : Lisa Thornton announced that the Strawberry Festival was very successful despite the rain and the change of location to Center School. In addition the F.L.O.W. banquet was held on June 7th. Over 50 members attended as well as 13 past presidents.
Unfinished Business:
· Internet Policy: Finalized at the last meeting.
· Strategic Planning: All town departments including the library have met for this purpose. Much of our input is based on the on-going Operations Plan. Carl will complete our portion using the Town's format stressing the savings we can achieve in bulk purchases of items such as heating fuel and paper supplies.
· Calendar—The Department of Cultural Resources will feature the Nesmith Library on their 2007 calendar. We will purchase 300 calendars at a cost of $2.00 each and will sell these at a cost of $5.00 each.
· Next Library Trustees Meeting on August 8, 2006 at 7:00 p.m.
· Building Expansion Committee, Wednesday, June 21, 7 p.m. at the Library.
ADJOURNED: The meeting adjourned at 8:04 pm
Respectfully submitted,
Wendy Keller, Recording Secretary
Draft subject to approval

Startup life is hard and draining. I know it, but that's not enough to overlook when founders make bad decisions. As a someone who tries out new services and supports the ones that provide a real utility, when I start to use a service, it is disenchanting (heck, discouraging) when startups decide to suddenly cancel my account and move onto big clients. Let's rewind for a bit: to get to a point where the startup can move past individual users to corporate clients, it has garnered the individual users' social media power to help it to grow along the way. Yet, after signing a few corporate accounts, deciding to kick away their old faithfuls is a bit of an amateur move. I'm not saying that companies should not pivot business models or think about monetization. Those are real issues. But there is a clear line in the sand between keeping your current users who had used their social media power to get where you are and keeping them around on their accounts, and just shunning them for bigger fish.
I suggest that it is not only bad conscientious move, but, in the long run, a short-sighted business move. In startups, things can turn so quickly. How do you know your new (enterprise focused) model is going to scale and to what point will it plateau? Assuming that you do succeed in enterprise and remain independent, at the end of that road, do you go back to the consumer market to expand further? Why destroy amicable ties with your old faithful users when it is so often shown that good, conscientious businesses can outperform those without the same support and well-wishing from the community.
I think a song from J. Lo. says it all:
I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block.
Use to have a little, now I have a lot.
No matter where I go, I know where I came from.
Try to keep your old faithfuls and hold them tight.

Universal Nutrition - Gain Fast 3100 Anabolic Weight Gain Supplement Cookies & Cream - 5.1 lbs. (2.3 kg)
Universal Nutrition Gain Fast 3100 is an anabolic weight gain supplement with a "Get Big Quick" formula engineered for maximum gains in mass and size. Gain Fast 3100 is high in protein and complex carbs.
If you turn back the bodybuilding clock, you'll no doubt remember that old stand by, the "weight gainer." You probably picked up an economy-sized bottle when you were playing high school football–before you became a competitive bodybuilder. Along with the Animal Pak, a quality weight gainer was probably one of the first supplements you ever used. For years, supplement companies sold tons of this stuff. Why? Because it worked.
Today, the weight gainer has lost much of its popularity. And over the years, the weight gainer has changed very little. But whether you grew up bodybuilding in the 1980s, 1990s or today, one thing remains certain: to bulk up and put on quality muscle weight, you need plenty of calories. And when you can't eat any more, you need more calories. Gain Fast 3100 helps. Big time. For most of us, putting on weight is a simple process (for some, all too easy). Eat more of everything–quality protein, whole foods, vegetables, eggs, milk, fruits, good fats, and the like. For others, gaining weight is a difficult proposition. You have a hard time eating every three hours. You always feel full. Maybe you're a "hard gainer" who can't seem to put on weight no matter how you try or how much you eat.
Gain Fast 3100 has been designed to fuel your body with up to 3100 quality calories per day. But sometimes, even mega-calories aren't enough. Sometimes you need something more, something like anabolic boosters, performance herbs, natural plant sterols, EFAs, digestive enzymes, and muscle optimizers. Where else can you get this kind of formula? Nowhere else in the world. It's only available in Gain Fast 3100.
With Gain Fast 3100's exclusive "Get Big Quick" Formula, you get over 3100 calories from 150g of protein, 596g of carbohydrates, and only 15g of fat. Find out why Gain Fast 3100 is Universal Nutrition's best-selling weight gainer, bar none. So when you want to bulk up in the off-season, or you just want to add some quality mass, turn to Gain Fast 3100.
WHAT IT ISGain Fast from Universal is powerful and massive anabolic weight gaining formula. Gain Fast was their first weight gainer scientifically-engineered and formulated to help you attain solid gains of hard mass, without fat or wasted calories. Gain Fast is protein-rich, complex carbohydrate-dense and packed with advanced anabolic gaining agents, all designed to help target the cellular growth areas of your body. Gain Fast was also the first weight gainer to offer you a 3100+ calorie potential. With high amounts of quality protein, complex carbohydrates and added vitamins and minerals, Gain Fast is one of the most complete gaining formulas available. The exclusive "Get Big Quick" formula lets you exceed the weight gaining barriers by fueling your body with an incredible 3100+ quality calories.

That's it for today's blog from what proved the decisive game of the 2014 NBA Finals. The Spurs are the champions and the questions over the future of the Heat have already started. Don't forget to stay logged on to smh.com.au for a match report and all the reaction from San Antonio.
A winner in the competition for best comment has been found.
Well done Ashton77 .. This comment ''Love or hate LeBron, you can't help but love the Spurs. They're the team that builds it's offence around the team. Before this series I didn't even know who coached the Heat,'' has given you the prize. We will contact you via email to organise how to get the book to you.
So, I guess that is it for the 2013-2014 NBA season. Congratulations to the Spurs on winning a fifth title. True champions is every sense of the word. The season may be over but this blog still has a prize to give away. The winner of the book Michael Jordan: The Life will be announced shortly.
I've said several times on air that Patty Mills has become my favorite Spur. He has hit huge shots all season - none bigger than THOSE.

''What happened last year made us stronger.''
''We played at a really high level. It wasn't about Tim Duncan or Tony Parker.
''This was a team. That is what makes it so nice.'' - Manu Ginobili speaking after the game.
Thank you, LeBron, for going so weirdly passive in the second and third quarters when your team needed you most.

Kawhi Leonard has been named NBA Finals MVP. Well deserved and not bad for a 22-year-old. The Spurs' future looks to be in safe, and big, hands.
The official presentation is beginning. We will bring you some of the highlights.
NBA Comissioner Adam Silver praises the players and fans, thanking the Heat and praising the Spurs.
In a great sight, many of the international players on the Spurs's roster have their national flags with them.
Aarony Baynes has an Australian flag, Patty Mills has the Torres Strait Islands flag. Great to see.
When asked what made the title possible, Sours big man Tim Duncan replied:
''Great coaching, persistance, drive, love for the game... This makes last year OK.''
''I know it is coming to an end, I don't know if I will ever be here again.''
It is Father's Day in the US and Tim Duncan didn't take long to find his kids and give them a hug. You couldn't ask for better. What a great win for the Spurs. The pain of losing in the finals last year is now gone.
LeBron James quickly leaves the court. Four straight Finals appearances for he and the Heat. Two titles and two losses.
It's over. SPURS WIN!!! SPURS WIN!! San Antonio are the NBA champions. Final score 104-87
The Spurs' other Australia, Aron Baynes hits the court and picks up two points at the free-throw line. SAS 102-84
Patty Mills and Manu Ginobili hug it out on the bench. That duo have both enjoyed great finals series. This Spurs team will be remembered as one for the ages. A great team playing great basketball. SAS 100-82
Tim Duncan is awarded a fitting send-off as he leaves the court. Is this his last time as an NBA player? We may find out after the match. SAS 100-81
Wade & LeBron standing on baseline reminds me of KD/Russ/Harden at end of '12 Finals. Thought they'd be back, but no. What about Heat's duo?
— J.A. Adande (@jadande) June 16, 2014
Patty Mills & Aron Baynes becomes the 3rd and 4th Australians to win an NBA Championship. (Luc Longley 1996, 1997, 1998. Andrew Gaze 1999).

Patty Mills is back on for the Spurs. Tony Parker scores again. He has really performed in the last quarter. SAS 96-76
LeBron on the bench. He looks totally dejected. He thinks it is over. Two missed free-throws from D-Wade won't help his mood. Nor will a botched alley-oop attempt from Wade and Bosh. SAS 92-72
The Spurs are now just 6:30 away from a fifth NBA title.
After a hectic series of misses from both teams, the Spurs call for a time out with a 18-point lead. LeBron James now has 31 points for the Heat. He has been awesome again. As for the rest of Miami, the less said the better. SAS 90-72
Boris Diaw and Dwyane Wade trade three pointers. SAS 88-72
Twitter banter aside, the Spurs still lead by 16. With 8:20 remaining the Heat need now officially need a miracle.
The haters are starting early.

Spurs need a basket. What do they do? Get the ball to Tim Duncan and Tony Parker on consecutive possessions. Both score and the margin is back to 18 points. SAS 83-65
The Spurs need to keep moving the ball. The margin is back to 14 and if San Antonio aren't careful it will be a game again before they know it.
Kawhi Leonard just picked up his fifth foul and the margin is back to 14 points. Spurs still on top, but Miami are not entirely out of it yet. SAS 79-63
With Tony Parker (1-11), Patty Mills (6-10) is carrying the load for the Spurs at the point guard position tonight. SAS 77-60

Mario Chalmers is on the court. He of the 28% shooting and 3.5 points per game.
In other news, Patty Mills hits another three pointer. He has 14 in the quarter and 17 in the game. SAS 73-53
Spurs fans are now mocking the chant of the Heat fans.
After Miami score two quick baskets, Patty Mills hits another three. That's 14 points in nine minutes for the Australian. SAS 68-48

Patty Mills then hits another three. Manu Ginobili then hits a three. This is madness. LeBron looks beaten. Heat take a time out. SAS 65-44
Since the Heat led 22-6, they have been outscored 50-20.. Enough said. Mills then hits a three after a Splitter block. Spurs lead by 17. SAS 59-42

Patty Mills is back and making a difference once again. He draw a (questionable) offensive foul on Ray Allen and then drives to the hoop and scores. Miami take a time out. Unless LeBron James can go berserk at the offensive end it is hard to see them winning from here. SAS 56-42
The Heat have scored. At last. Miami's first points of the half took more than four minutes to arrive. Chris Bosh scored on a tough drive. SAS 54-42

Ginobili picks up two points from the free-throw line. First of the second half for either side. SAS 49-40
Three minutes of the second half and neither side has scored. Both look out of sorts. SAS 47-40
Second half is underway. Miami need to do something, and soon. Otherwise they are done. SAS 47-40
Here's a half-time summary from Hoops Heaven chief Paul Suttor.
It's a mental game now more so than ever for both teams. Spurs are so close to their end goal but they can't afford to be distracted. Miami must be thinking what else can they do after opening up such a big early lead before San Antonio responded with multiple body blows.
If they truly are a champion team they will respond but you get the feeling they're mentally and physical sapped and waiting for the knockout blow to put them out of their misery.
The reluctance/lack of execution by Miami at the rim is all credit to the Spurs defense (mostly Timmy). Limited fouling has been impressive.
— Tas Melas (@TasMelas) June 16, 2014
Here is a look at the key stats from the first half.
Miami: 38% shooting, 26% 3-pt shooting, 21 rebounds, 7 assists, 7 turnovers.
San Antonio: 40% shooting, 40% 3-pt shooting, 9 assists, 3 turnovers.
Individual leaders:
Miami: LeBron James 20 points, LeBron James 8 rebounds, Chris Bosh, Ray Allen 2 assists (each).
San Antonio: Kawhi Leonard 15 points, Kawhi Leonard, Tim Duncan 6 rebounds (each), Boris Diaw 3 assists.
Here's a behind the scenes look at the Spurs promo video, starring Danny Trejo.
While we are at the break we have some NBL news. The Sydney Kings have a signing to announce.
The Sydney Kings have bolstered their front-court depth with the signing of Australian Boomers big man Angus Brandt.
"As a kid I grew up supporting the Sydney Kings and went to a lot of their games so it means a lot to me to be playing for them now," he said.
"It's an honour to play for this organisation."
"I came here because I have a great relationship with Damian Cotter. He's a really good coach and I have a lot of trust in him."
"I also came to Sydney because I get to be close to my friends and family and it's great that I'll be able to play in front of them at the Kingdome."
Ben Simmons could not be any more on the money.

Here is a Vine of the best play from the first half. Manu Ginobili's hammer dunk. To quote Dickie V, ''That was awesome, baby. With a capital A.''
Manu Ginobili turns back the hands of time... dunks on dinosaur https://t.co/l9LwINrKc3

That's it for the first half. Spurs lead by seven. After trailing by as many as 16 during the first quarter, San Antonio found their feet. They outscored the Heat by 14 points in the second quarter. SAS 47-40
Boris Diaw scores on a drive to the hoop. LeBron then misses a three-point attempt. SAS 47-40
After scoring 17 points in the first quarter, LeBron has just two points in the second as he heads to the line. He is gonna need 50 tonight for the Spurs to win.
MANU. MANU. We can't get enough Manu Ginobili. He has 14 points so far. After his countrymen started their World Cup campaign with a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina this morning, Ginobili is reminding everyone back in Argentina that he is also on the big stage today.
Manu Messi.
— Simon Legg (@Simon_Legg) June 16, 2014
Miami have scored just eight points so far this quarter. It is looking like the games in Miami where LeBron has to do everything. A thunderous dunk from Ginobili gives the Spurs a handy lead. SAS 42-37
Patty Mills draws an offensive foul. There was some contact, but not that much. In saying that it is nothing anyone else wouldn't have done. SAS 39-35
Miami take time out following a Manu Ginobili reverse lay up. The Spurs have scored the last 11 points. Miami look lost at the defensive end again. Just like they did in game's three and four. SAS 39-35
A pull up three from Kawhi Leonard gives the Spurs their first lead. The AT&T Centre is rocking. SAS 37-35
Miami's fast start is all but gone. They lead by just one point. San Antonio will be full of hope right now. MIA 35-34

LeBron James is off an awesome start. He already has 17 points, missing just one shot from the field. MIA 27-18
Patty Mills gets a luck bounce and the Spurs now trail by just four points. That was until LeBron James hit a 28-foot three pointer. MIA 25-18

A bit of anger. Good to see. Shane Battier called for a foul on Ginobili. To be honest there was nothing in it. Ginobili responds with a three-point basket. He has scored the game's last six points. Miami call for a time out with their lead cut to 10 points. MIA 22-12
With LeBron James playing point guard, he is now guarding Patty Mills. Manu Ginobili scores and is fouled. He converts a three-point play. MIA 22-9
After a three-point play from LeBron James, Patty Mills make his first appearance. Boris Diaw blows a lay up. LeBron then blocks a Mills lay up. The Heat are locked in today. MIA 19-5
Kawhi Leonard hits a three to give San Antonio there first field goal of the match. It took nearly five minutes. MIA 16-5
Spurs are on the board. Tim Duncan gets to the line and makes both. LeBron responds with a three pointer. MIA 11-2
A great point regarding LeBron playing as Miami's point guard.
Heat going without a PG will really be tested in the 2nd-half after LeBron logs big mins guarding Parker.
— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) June 16, 2014
Spurs are 0 for 5 from the field and still haven't scored. LeBron with a follow-up dunk from a missed Heat shot. Spurs call an early time out. They need to get into this game. There has been less than three minutes of play but the Heat look a different team. Can they keep it up? MIA 8-0
The Spurs look nervous early. Their shots are all short and they look tentative. The pace they have played with over the last two games has been lacking. MIA 6-0
The game has started, with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James both scoring. MIA 4-0
The Spurs remain driven by the memories of their game six loss to Miami in last year's finals. You can't help but thinking that if they don't win tonight all those doubts - and then some - will return. San Antonio need to close it out as quick as possible. The last thing you want to give LeBron James is more chances.

Patty Mills of course, isn't the only Australian on the Spurs roster. Big man Aaron Baynes - who hasn't seen a lot of court time, is also a part of the Spurs squad. Limited minutes, of course, does bring about its benefits.
Oh, who am I kidding... Aron Baynes is my Finals MVP so far... He's shooting 100% from the floor! #TrustInBane
— Tom Read (@traread) June 16, 2014
Once again, Australian star Patty Mills will attract plenty of attention today. The speedy point guard had 14 points in game four. Has the been enough for Mills to win over coach Gregg Popovich. Maybe, maybe not.

Now onto the big questions heading into game five.
Can the Heat stop the Spurs offence?
Which Miami players can provide some support to LeBron James?
Can the Heat stop the Spurs from shooting so many uncontested three-pointers?
Can the Spurs bench continue to dominate the Heat's second five?
If the Spurs win, will this be Tim Duncan's final match?
Now onto some team news. It appears that Mario Chalmers - who has been terrible during the finals - has been dumped out of the Miami starting five. Ray Allen will start in his spot. Such a move raises the obvious question.
Ray Allen has replaced Mario Chalmers in the starting lineup. So, who guards Tony Parker?
— Michael Lee (@MrMichaelLee) June 15, 2014
''I have to have one of those games.'' - LeBron James to his Heat team-mates in the tunnel before the game.
Before we get down to a series of questions that will be answered in tonight's game there is some more good news for blog followers. As was the case with game four, there will be a prize for the best published comment. And, as was the case with game four, the winner will receive a copy of the book Michael Jordan: The Life. The rules are simple - send in your views on the game but remember nothing offensive will get a start.
Hello world. Welcome to game five of the 2014 NBA Finals. For those of you who have spent the last week in North Korea, the Spurs lead the series 3-1 and have a chance to end it today. This could be the last game of the season - at least that's Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and the Spurs are hoping.

Don't Treat Special-Needs Kids Like They're Special
Why I Like It When Strangers Help My Child with Special Needs
Last week, when we were on vacation at the beach, I was very thankful for the kindness of strangers.
Zach Anner Is My Idol!
A lot of people laughed when they first watched the video by Zach Anner, the twentysomething with cerebral palsy auditioning for Oprah's "Your Own Show." I laughed, too. I also cried. As the mom of a little boy with CP, I ache for the world to see my child that way.

1) Figure out way to get a billion more therapy sessions for child. Preferably for free.
I Cheated On My Hairstylist: Oh, the Drama!

10 Signs It's Time to Lose the Baby Weight
Ellen S. gives us her top 10 signs, such as: "Your 'baby' is now 5 years old."
Top 20 Reasons Moms of Kids With Special Needs ROCK
1) Because we never thought that "doing it all" would mean doing this much. But we do do it all -- and then some.
2) Because we've discovered patience we never knew we had.
3) Because we are willing to do something 10 times, 100 times or 1,000 times if that's what it takes for our kids to learn something new.
Moms: Back Away From the BlackBerry!
I have been that mom who's gotten sucked into a cell phone or e-mail and ignored her child. Yet as I watch the moms around me, I'm feeling a little unnerved. Surely it can't be good for our kids if we're giving our mobile devices the best of our attention.

Actually, Sweetheart, we moved last Monday on the 4th. And Sean is just loving it. And so am I. Everything, in everyway, is mucho better for us both.
Everyday, when I go to see him, we just both roll our eyes at how good everything is and we are so very grateful.
Prosperity comes to mind. We both are prospering now in numerous ways. Sean says to me that he has no negative feedback for where he is now, none.
Nor do I. It seems that we have gone through a lot of situations that needed a great deal of acceptance and allowance. But now, we find that we feel we are being "treeted".
We are loving it and are so grateful. Gratitude certainly rules the day where we are concerned. As we have found, the more gratitude we exude, the better things get and the more gratitude we have. It is a wonderful "Spiral of Uplifting Energies" that promote Good Feelings for sure.
Today, Sean had an extraordinary day. He got up and out of bed at 6:00 am in his wheelchair. Went outside and witnessed another resident that is a young person who has experienced strokes in his youth that has left him wheelchair bound but was so in joy of listening and watching the birds sing and play that Sean was totally enthralled with his joy of just being in the moment. Sean so appreciated the witness that he too experienced it.
Then he went to the Hair Stylist on property for a haircut and beard trim. He said that was a great experience in that, the hair stylist kept commenting about how thick his hair was and that everybody would envy that. Anyway, an hour and a half later, he came out looking like a champ. She did an extraordinary job on both his hair and beard. And we were both appreciative of that. (Now, I don't have to do it!)
Then Sean went to The Mint here in Saginaw on a Field Trip. I had no idea that we have a Mint here that makes a portion of the money, I forgot what Sean told me, anyway, he said it was very interesting.
So, all in all, he had a wonderful day. And so did I. Thank you all for sharing our little world with us.

When we click on any of the menu we change its angle and (x,y) origin . For each Image we set a Transition time duration with it angle property.
Note: We tried using QML elements to bring an animation effect like Windows Phone Turnstile effect. The effect might not be exactly the same as that of Windows Phone Turnstile effect. Please try the example and share your feedback. To know more about Windows Phone Turnstile, please visit MSDN.
Let's create an empty QML project. We create four Images and places in grid view.
Image {
id: imageGreen
source: "Images/green.png"
anchors.top: parent.top
anchors.topMargin: 70
anchors.right: parent.right
anchors.rightMargin: 25
opacity: mouseAreaGreen.pressed ? 0.5 :1.0
anchors.fill: parent
durationBlue = 1000;
durationGreen = 1500;
durationYellow = 500;
durationRed = 900;
if (imageRed.state == '') imageRed.state = "right"; else imageRed.state = ''
if (imageGreen.state == '') imageGreen.state = "right"; else imageGreen.state = ''
if (imageYellow.state == '') imageYellow.state = "right"; else imageYellow.state = ''
if (imageBlue.state == '') imageBlue.state = "right"; else imageBlue.state = ''
textBody.visible = true;
transform: Rotation
id: rotationimageGreen
origin.x: 0;
origin.y: 0;
axis { x: 0; y: 1; z: 0 }
angle: 0
smooth: true
states : State {
name: "right"
PropertyChanges { target: rotationimageGreen; angle : -90; origin.x: -200; origin.y: 0; }
transitions: Transition {
NumberAnimation { target: rotationimageGreen; property: "angle"; duration: durationGreen }
By default each Images are set to angle zero and with zero (x,y) origin. When user clicks on Images it changes it state and all other Images, which finally changes the Image Rotation angle and x origin. We also set a Transition effect for smooth animation whose duration depends on [http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qml-image.html Image}} clicks.
This article shows how to use the QML Rotation Element to create a Turnstile effect for menu. The Images displayed here are in a very basic way, you can use ListModel to display the Images in a GridView or in ListView order.

The BlackBerry 10 OS has a Siri-like feature called Voice Control that lets you speak some commands for it to execute, such as "take a note." The voice is harsher than Siri's, and the commands more limited, but it does work. Press the center button in the volume rocker to start it.
The BlackBerry 10 OS's Web browser is fast as promised. The browser has the bookmarking features you'd expect, plus the Reader feature that Apple debuted in iOS and OS X to show just the text of a Web page when desired.
The WebKit-based browser is also the most HTML5-compatible browser yet, according to the HTML5test.com benchmarks. It scores 485 points out of a possible 600, versus 386 for iOS's Safari, 390 for Android's Chrome (the browser in the Google Nexus series), 434 for Android's Browser (which other vendors' Android devices use), and 320 for Windows Phone 8's Internet Explorer. In fact, the BlackBerry 10 browser beats all desktop browsers as well.
Why Microsoft should worryGiven the superior user experience and capabilities of iOS and Android, it's unlikely any of them would switch to BlackBerry willingly. But even with its flaws, the BlackBerry 10 OS is better than Windows Phone 8, which is less capable and less refined. And let's be honest: Blackberry 10 OS is a good mobile OS in its own right.
The combination of the BlackBerry faithful eagerly awaiting a modern BlackBerry OS (which the BlackBerry 10 OS certainly is), a portion of the people yet to commit to a smartphone platform, and the disgruntled Windows Phone 7.5 users who found out after the fact that their smartphones would never run Windows Phone 8 could be enough to double BlackBerry's current sales to 10% of the market -- that's enough to keep BlackBerry in business.
After all, the BlackBerry 10 OS matches Windows Phone's best feature (the People app), outclasses it in most other areas, and fits better into a security-conscious corporation than Windows Phone does. And the Z10 is a nice piece of hardware.
