After graduation, he attended Lamar Institute of Technology for one year receiving his certificate for Fire Protection Technology before joining the United States Army. While in the Army, David received numerous awards including the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart, the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the NATO Medal, and the Combat Action Badge.

Well said my friend. Our condolences to the Drake family.
The sacrifices veterans and their families make for this country should be respected by all..individual citizens and businesses alike. PFC Drake's life cannot be returned to him nor can he be returned to his family. It is OUR obligation to see to it that his sacrifice is not forgotten and that our returning veterans are respected as well. As citizens we should demand that every segment of our society step up and do what must be done to insure that the quality of life for our veterans and their families does not suffer because of their service to our country. We should insist that businesses who do not deal fairly with veterans be exposed for all to see. We owe our veterans that much at least. Thank you.

--Alan Mozes
WEDNESDAY, Sept. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Treating rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) patients with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors
appears to increase their risk of developing skin cancer, a new
review of prior research indicates.
However, TNF inhibitors, which include infliximab (Remicade),
adalimunab (Humira), and etanercept (Enbrel), do not appear to
boost the risk for developing other forms of cancer, the
researchers added.
The findings stem from an analysis of 21 previous studies
conducted between 1998 and 2010, as well as eight study summaries
that had been presented at research conferences during the same
timeframe. All the studies had focused on the potential for cancer
risk in association with the use of standard TNF inhibitors.
"This systematic review and meta analysis provides reassurance to physicians and patients that the treatment of [rheumatoid arthritis] with TNF inhibitors does not increase the risk of malignancy, particularly lymphoma," the French study team said in a news release from Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, which published the report in its current online issue.
"However, it does appear to increase the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma," added the French team, led by Prof. Xavier Mariette from Paris-Sud University's rheumatology service in Ile de France.
The authors noted that RA has previously been shown to increase
the risk for developing certain types of cancer, including both
lung cancer and lymphoma, while decreasing the risk for other
cancers, including bowel and breast.
However, the question of TNF inhibitor treatments as a cancer
risk has remained a subject of debate.
The current review looked at a collection of studies involving a
total of more than 40,000 patients. The researchers estimate that,
spread across a population that large, this translates to about
150,000 cumulative years of exposure to TNF inhibitor drugs.
Seven of the studies indicated no notable risk increase for any
type of cancer associated with the use of TNF meds. Another two
long-term studies similarly suggested that while RA patients who
had previously had cancer faced a higher likelihood for a second
bout, TNF treatments alone posed no additional cancer risk.
But four other studies collectively demonstrated that TNF
inhibitors boosted the risk for non-melanoma skin cancer by 45
percent. And another two studies suggested that the RA treatment
raised the specific risk for developing melanoma by nearly 80
Dr. W. Hayes Wilson, chief of rheumatology at Piedmont Hospital
in Atlanta, said the findings should help guide physicians on
potential RA treatment complications.
"I don't think this is particularly surprising, given that there's long been a concern about cancer risk in the back of our minds," he noted. "And, in fac,t this is somewhat reassuring on the front of solid cancers that there's nothing to be alarmed about."
"But while we can perhaps now put aside our worries about other types of cancers, this does give us some indication that we need to be vigilant when it comes to skin cancer," Wilson added. "And we certainly need to have a high index of suspicion if a patient has a skin abnormality, and make certain that they see their dermatologist."

All Aboard Florida – Operations LLC (AAF) is proposing to construct and operate a privately owned and operated intercity passenger railroad system that will connect Orlando and Miami, with intermediate stops in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, Florida. AAF is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (FECI), one of Florida's oldest and largest transportation, infrastructure, and commercial real estate companies. AAF proposes to construct a new 40-mile dedicated rail corridor parallel to Florida State Road 528 connecting to the existing Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway, which has supported freight and/or passenger service on a continuous basis for more than 100 years. The Project also includes infrastructure improvements to the existing rail corridor between Cocoa and West Palm Beach.
This new proposed construction is part of a larger AAF passenger rail project designed to provide safe, convenient travel to and from Florida's most highly trafficked commercial, entertainment, and recreational destinations. The initial phase of the Project consists of a new passenger rail service with independent utility along the 66.5 miles of the FEC Corridor connecting West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and including three stations and associated infrastructure improvements. AAF is currently proposing to extend that service to Orlando. The total Project will consist of a 235 mile intercity passenger rail service with an anticipated three-hour travel time. AAF would be responsible for financing the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of the passenger rail system.
The initial phase of the Project was the subject of a separate Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued in early 2013. The West Palm Beach to Miami initial phase is considered independent from the proposed action that is the subject of the EIS. The FRA is the lead agency for the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process for the Project. FRA published a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement in the Federal Register on April 15, 2013. The Draft EIS will be published in early 2014 for public review and comment. Information and documents regarding the EIS process will be made available through the FRA website and the AAF website at http://www.allaboardflorida.com/ .

New Facebook Page Update (Timeline For Pages) – March 2012
So every once in a while, Facebook decides to make a MAJOR change to its structure. Over the past year or so, there have been some major internal changes going on that have allowed more and more changes to the way we use and interact with Facebook.
Today, Facebook announced one of those major updates, this time specifically for Pages. The last major update was in early 2011, when Facebook decided to make Pages more like Profiles. Now Facebook will again make Pages look more like Profiles, except now they will look like the new Timeline Profiles.
In this post, I want to talk about 3 things:
- The FEATURES of the new Timelines for Pages
- What this means for WEDDING VENDORS specifically
- TIPS on making the mandatory switch
I'll also give you some free templates so you can easily create a perfect Timeline Cover to fit your branding.
Features Of The New Timeline For Pages
First of all lets talk about a few of the main features with the new Facebook Pages. I won't spend TOO much time on this, because you can read all about it on the official Facebook help for Pages (they created a pretty awesome video that goes over all the new features, and it is well worth your time to watch – learnfacebookpages.com). Of all the changes, a few really stand out.
1. The new Cover Photo for your Timeline.
The new Timeline Covers give you TONS of real estate to show off what your business is all about. This is a GREAT thing when you are trying to catch a brides attention quickly. The exact cover size is 851px by 315px. Keep in mind that there are several rules as to what you can and can't include in this cover photo. For example, no calls to action or web addresses are allowed. Keep it simple and use something that really captures the essence of your business.
2. Full Page Apps and "Views"
Now Apps take up the full 850 pixels. Facebook replaced the navigation (tabs) on the left with these apps, which they call "views." Since the Views are full width, it makes your page more like a website. If you really know what you are doing, you could create an entire website within your Facebook Page. I'll be on the lookout for good apps to allow easy editing of full width views and I'll be sure to post an update.
3. Pinned and Starred posts
With the Pinned and Starred posts, you can feature your favorite content by making it larger than everything else, or pinning it to the top of the page (for up to 7 days). This is a really cool feature for wedding vendors, because you can feature your favorite weddings, and pin recent weddings so that your daily updates don't cover up the content brides are really looking for.
4. Square only Profile Pictures
The new profiles pictures are 180x180px squares that are sized down to 32x32px everywhere else on the site. These are intended to be used for logos or other simple icons that can represent your business.
What This Means For Wedding Vendors
If you take advantage of the new changes, they can really be especially beneficial to wedding vendors. More than any other category, it is especially a good change for wedding photographers. If you are not a wedding photographer, this change makes it really important that you make a new photographer friend. The whole change is based on the idea that strong visual branding really works. In Facebook's video, they suggest making your cover an image that is as unique as your business. This photo shouldn't just be any ol' photo. This is your chance to WOW a potential bride with details that she can't live without. Finding a photographer who can help you create that would be a smart move.
One major change is that you can't send brides to a default landing page anymore. The default landing page will ALWAYS be the Timeline on the new Pages. This means you need to make an impression so strong that you convince a bride that she can't leave your page without clicking the like button. You need to make that impression with your cover photo, your profile picture, and your pinned and featured posts. The perfect thing about wedding is that they are typically weekly events. You can post updates to your Facebook page throughout the week, but pin the most recent wedding for up to 7 days. Then you can pick your favorite weddings of the year and make them span the entire page so they really stand out and get more clicks.
Posting frequently is more important than ever, because interaction is more important than ever. Now the Facebook pages will feature interaction by any of your friends on the page. That way, the visit way more personal because you automatically see what your friends have said about the page. Lets say you have a new bride who is interested in your services, and she comes across your Page on Facebook. If that new bride is friends with anyone who likes your Page, or anyone who has recently interacted with your Page, she will see that interaction highlighted near the top of the Page. Then your Facebook referral also becomes a word of mouth referral, and they are WAY more likely to contact you.
Tips On Making the Mandatory Switch
Yes, the switch to the new Pages IS mandatory, and if you don't do it by March 30th, Facebook will do it for you. Of course you don't want to let Facebook switch everything and leave you with a blank cover and a profile picture that doesn't look right. Here are some tips to help you make the switch.
1. Make sure your information is current. The new page will have a view that displays all your information in a full width Page. You don't want it looking empty or having old information. Also realize that only two pieces of your information will show up in the navigation bar, so you may have to choose between listing a phone number, address, and website if you want them listed on the front page.
2. Get rid of applications and landing pages that you wont be using. You can just remove the apps from your pages favorites so they don't show up in the main navigation. Here are the instructions on how to do this.
3. This one is important so I'll say it again… FIND A PHOTOGRAPHER to help you with some awesome photos. You can probably find someone who is willing to give you a significant discount or even shoot some of your work for free in exchange for referrals or rights to use the images. If you are a wedding photographer, use some of your best work for your cover.
4. Get inspired! Here are a few ideas to get you started, but check out some of your favorite major brands, as well as other wedding vendors who have made the switch. Be creative!
Corey Potter Photographer – consider using more than one image in your cover photo. You have the opportunity to use so much more space than before with the small profile pictures.
Magnolia Bakery – Notice how the photo makes you WANT to eat the deserts! Create desire for your product or services by displaying them LARGE!
Canlis – A great idea for a wedding venue or restaurant. Display not only the beauty, but also the ambiance of the venue with a photo.
Tiffany – Even a simple image can have impact. Use the colors and style to match your current marketing.
Roman Salon – Again, show what makes you different, and feature the ambiance if you have a location with character. Show what makes you different so brides can understand just by looking at the cover photo!
To help you get started, I'm going to include a Photoshop file with guides around the logo, so you can design accurately. I'll also include the template for the Bride Formula Cover, and the Corey Potter Photographer Cover. Hopefully these will help you get something up quickly that really reflects your brand! These templates require Photoshop, and basic knowledge on how to use layers and guides, but if you can't figure them out, use them as inspiration, and a starting point. Again, you can probably find a local wedding photographer who knows how to do this for you.

Do you have other tips about the new Facebook Pages? How do you think this will be a game changer? Any other specific ideas about how it can benefit the bridal industry?
Leave some comments below to keep the conversation and ideas going!
Welcome to BrideFormula.com
Thanks so much for checking out Bride Formula.
My name is Corey Potter and I'm a professional wedding photographer. After all the frustration that comes along with starting a new bridal business, I almost decided to give up and move on to something else. Then I realized that some of the fundamental rules of marketing (especially online marketing) can be applied to a bridal business, then tweaked a little bit to specifically reach brides…
That realization changed my business in the best possible way. I went from a few weddings a year and a feeling of hopelessness to more weddings than I can handle alone. I know there are so many other people out there who are dealing with the same issues… and I want others to experience the same feeling of success and freedom that I have found by implementing the system I call the Bride Formula.
You can get the ENTIRE formula for free… just enter your email at the top of the page. In the meantime, I'll be posting random helpful thoughts on this blog… so check it out frequently and don't forget to follow on Facebook and Twitter!
Thanks again for stopping by! I can't wait to hear how the Bride Formula changes your business!

This is a very good printer. The only problem I have found is that the black ink runs out relatively quick. I had to order a new cartridge within the month I recieved the printer. I do NOT do a lot of copying. The printer is worth the price because it really delivers great copies. Ink cartridges do not cost as much as other printer ink refill cartridges I have owned. It is not a scanner. If you want to scan pictures to your computer, forget it. I purchased the Epson scanner for that. Together they are just wonderful.

Fast and no-nonsense. For the money this thing kicks out a great amount of pages per minute, does 2-sided copies, and scans (in color) up to legal size documents. If you're looking for a proficient small-business sized printer/copier/scanner (B&W copies and printing only) then this should be top of your consideration list. Overstock beat any other deal out there on price and delivery time, too.

I was hoping to avoid the high cost of the brand name toner cartridges and have been sorely disappointed. After a couple of successful pages, I have been unable to print a complete page with this cartridge. After looking at the dismal reviews for almost all "compatible" cartridges I was not completely surprised and had hoped that this new entry would be different.

Unfortunately, when we got the product, a printer, I opened it and there weren't any ink cartridges in the box. I called Overstock customer service and they are taking care of it totally. They are sending me a shipping label and a new printer. The service person was VERY nice and the service was excellent! I am VERY PLEASED with Overstock and the way they are handling this situation. I have bought items from you in the past and WILL buy more! THANK YOU FOR STANDING BEHIND WHAT YOU SELL!!! You get an A+++ Rating from me!

I did my homework and this seemed like it would be a great product. However, I was never able to get it to work. The directions were very poor, but mainly it frequently would NOT turn on, no matter how long/short I pushed the button. Also, I bought the chip and followed the directions but could never get my computer to recognize it. I spoke w/ Overstock who set me up w/a conference call w/ the manufacturer, who also did not seem to know a whole lot. The apparatus comes w/a disc that would install only partially, then freeze up my computer, necessitating me to turn off the computer, and then it would not reinstall. They sent me a new disc which did the same thing. The manufacturer agent finally said that the disc wasn't necessary and perhaps was only advertising for me to buy other products...who knows. However, Overstock was great, both Chelsea and Ann W. made the return easy, and i will gladly by from them again...just not this product. I've done without a scanner this long, so maybe I don't really need one after all.

The printer when first UN boxed worked like a charm. This AIO printer performed well without any glitches. Six months into fairly light duty regular printing, the ink cartridges started giving me problems with "test" printing color pages with both stripped or multicolored samples that could NOT be fixed. Multiple nozzle alignments, head cleanings, manual print carriage cleanings, track cleanings and ink suppository cleaning had NO affect what so ever. I both have and had no choice but to throw this piece of garbage away. I bought a new Epson AIO and so far I'm happy as can be. Everyone knows that ANY manufacturer printer is built as a disposable device, as the REAL money is made in selling the ink cartridges which in the short run PAY for the printer many times over. The HP "chipped" cartridges are designed to incur multiple owner difficulties, especially if you DARE use a second party ink cartridge to continue your work and also to get a good working life out of your investment. I PERSONALLY know HP is horrendously territorial over this fact and rule people looking to make a meager earning from selling second hand ink. HP threatens manufactures and resellers alike with law suits and Cease and Desist court orders to continue their STRANGLEHOLD on ink sales. I can produce printed threat notices direct from HP if need be. Too bad, but it's absolute TRUTH, and HP knows it. I will NEVER AGAIN buy an HP printer because of 1) It's poor product longevity and 2) HP's ruthless business practices that really DON'T have to exist. If anything, if their products were allowed to operate long term, then people just MIGHT be inclined to purchase again in a "reliable" quality product. But that thinking is obviously hay wire, so as far as I'm concerned HP printers can turn to dust for all I care. Thank you (for nothing) - ***

This unit is very convenient and does a good job of converting old photos to digital files. It does not handle glossy finish pictures well because you can see a ghostly image of the lens reflected in the image. For the few glossy pictures that I came across I used the regular scanner. I also converted a few negatives and the results were comparable to those that I previously had done by a camera store. The advantage of doing it myself besides the saving is that I made sure that any bits of dust were completely removed before making the image.

Excellent printer!! However it could use a few more instructions or labeled parts. I had to YouTube it to find out why it would not print. Found the answer that the upper paper tray has to be pulled out slightly for the printer to print. Other than that, it was so easy to set up.

It burned 18,000 acres last year and on Monday, the man who sparked the Sunflower wildfire found out his punishment.Steven Shiflet was an Eagle Scout, an upstanding member of the community, loved the outdoors, but made a dumb move in a bone dry forest -- and the Sunflower fire roared to life.The move was made by the Mesa resident on May 12. He and four friends were camping near Sycamore Creek when they started target shooting.Shiflet fired an incendiary shell that lit some brush on fire and the men could not extinguish it. They called 911 and were told to leave the area immediately.Shiflet was charged with three counts in federal court.He told the court he never intended for this to happen and that he was extremely sorry.Judge Steven Logan sentenced Shiflet to 200 hours of community service to be served with the Forest Service and two years probation.Logan called Shiflet's firing of the shell a momentary lapse in judgement, cited his good standing in the community and the fact that he's never been in trouble before.It cost the Forest Service $4.4 million to put out the wildfire and the U.S. did not seek restitution in this case.Shiflet was fined $2,000. He did not say anything to FOX 10 as he left court Monday morning.Shiflet was 23-years-old at the time of the Sunflower fire. He was described as an avid hiker and camper and the U.S. prosecuting attorney even acknowledged in court that Shiflet feels worse than anyone about the blaze.

'79 Honda CB900F Bol d'Or – Andreas Goldemann
As someone who swims neck-deep in bikes every day, it's all too easy to think that nothing great ever happens in the custom scene unless the people involved are in a similar state of bike-a-holic dependence. If you don't wake up at 3am with an idea for a build burning a hole in your cerebrum, you just aren't trying hard enough. But here's proof that you can lead a bike-free life for many years and yet somehow pull a custom bike together that's, well, that's like this. Here's Andreas Goldemann's first bike in 10 years, and it's a doozy.
'74 Honda CL360 – Modern Metals
As the saying goes, life wasn't meant to be easy. It's the same reason that diamonds and gold are buried deep underground and not just rolling around in the gutter outside your house. All the best things in life take hard work to achieve. Take, for instance, the bike you just picked up off of a complete stranger for a song. If you brought it home and it customised itself, that'd be no fun now would it? No, it's the challenges that make it all worth while. And trust us when we say that the challenge Doug Devine from Modern Metals faced after he peered inside the engine of this innocuous little Honda would be enough to test anyone.
1989 Honda NX650 Dominator Flat Tracker
Written by Martin Hodgson.
When you think of a dual-sport motorcycle, the first things that comes to mind are the Dakar rally bikes and more recently the BMW GS series ridden by actor's Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman used on their world famous rides around the globe. What doesn't come to mind is a handcrafted, urban assault style, custom brawler straight out of a small village in Normandy, France. But that is exactly what builder Simon Garcia has created, taking a Honda NX650 Dominator and making it his own.
'78 Honda CX500 – Patrick Sauter
Despite what the movies or books may have you believe about tortured artists, the one real killer of great creative ideas is more often than not the disease of over thinking. Forget writer's block, drugs or a clichéd battle with sanity; we'd wager that getting caught up in the details to the point where you disappear up your own exhaust pipe is more often than not the cause of art that never sees daylight. And the cure is clear. You should always create without the constrains of self-imposed perfection and intricate planning. Just let things go where they take you. That's what Germany's Patrick Sauter did. And the result? It's a bike worthy of Kerouac himself.
'79 Honda CBN400 – Ed Turner Motorcycles
As guys who see a lot of bikes, there's nothing more intriguing than a build that seems to be hard to pigeonhole. Now that's not to say that a classic café racer doesn't whet our whistles, but there's something about a mix of styles or fresh idea that make you look twice. Needless to say, the bike you see here a.k.a. the latest build from France's amusingly named Ed Turner Motorcycles just so happens to be one of them. Built by and for 'Head Ed' Karl Renoult, it's a Honda that looks like the result of a one night stand between a café racer and a supermoto in a 1970s amusement park. And in our books, that can only be a good thing.
1975 Honda CB750 'Titan' by Gasser Customs
It's not every day you ride past Jay Leno and your freshly built bike catches his eye. So much so that he then tracks you down to appear in an episode of Jay Leno's Garage. Well, that's what happened to Adam Gaspic from Gasser Customs. It also helped that Gasser Customs is located in North Hollywood, just down the road from Jay's garage – so it wasn't very hard to find him. The concept of this project started when Adam decided he wanted to build something in the spirit of the Hot Rods and Gassers of the 1950s and 60s but with some modern technology. So in between clients builds, Adam has built this mean looking Honda frankenstein named 'Titan'.
Honda CBX750 'M1-21′ by Kerkus Cycles
Written by Ian Lee.
It takes a true artist to see the true beauty in something that is otherwise unappealing. It may take time, it may take effort, but the final product is something that makes all the trouble worthwhile. Today's feature bike is one such example, a bike that in standard trim would hardly warrant a second glance, let alone be the bike to consider as a platform for a bitchin custom. Coming from Kerkus Cycles, (by their own description) a backyard builder based in Kuala Lumpur, this CBX750 café racer is a stripped down mean ass version of it's former self. Definitely a far cry from the police spec bike it started life as.
'80 Honda CB400 – Jasin Motorcycles
Seems like everywhere you look lately, there's death and destruction all over the news. This country hates that country or some such 'us and them' type disaster. Makes you wonder what we could all achieve if we just got along. What if we worried less about our differences and instead we looked for more ways we could work together? Take, for instance, the Jasinski brothers from Poland. They've found their good Slavic selves becoming obsessed with Japanese customs done in a British café racer style with a little good ol' American flat track thrown in for good measure. How's that for loving thy neighbour?
76′ Honda CB750 by Raccia Motorcycles
It's not every day you get stalked by a Hollywood actor to build you a bike. But that's exactly what happened to Mike LaFountain from Raccia Motorcycles. One day he receives a phone call from motorcycle nut and actor Ryan Reynolds asking to build him his dream bike. Ryan has a nice collection of motorcycles, but the bike that started it all when he was a teenager was a 1976 CB750. We were lucky enough to ask Ryan a few questions about this project and his passion for old CB's…
How did you discover Mike from Raccia Motorcycles? Did you see a certain bike he built?
I found Mike through countless hours of Internet stalking. I've always been a little obsessed with 70's Honda CB's. Admittedly, even more so as they rose in popularity yet again these past 10 years. Mike had done a couple of builds which stopped me in my tracks. It never occurred to me I could probably just email him through his website and inquire about a project. But I did just that and we jumped into this thing together.
Hero Honda Karizma 'Sliver' by Mean Green Customs
Written by Ian Lee.
So you want to build a sweet ride, but you don't want to take the well travelled route. You want something with that café racer silhouette, but you also crave something fresh. This was the conundrum faced by Aditya Green from Mean Green Customs in India, when he was trying to work out the details for the feature bike seen here today. This bike started as a thought, was turned into a sketch and then became a beautiful reality. Sleek lines, low slung and with a side profile to make you weak at the knees, this futuristic café racer is definitely something you don't see everyday. And that's what makes us appreciate it all the more.

Senate committee clears Carter nomination
Wednesday - 9/21/2011, 7:11pm EDT
Federal News Radio
The Senate Armed Services Committee has approved, by a voice vote, the nomination of Ashton Carter to be deputy secretary of defense.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has not set a date for the full Senate to vote on the nomination, the committee press office told Federal News Radio.
Carter has served as under secretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics since 2009. He would take over for Bill Lynn, who announced his resignation in July.
Lynn has agreed to stay in his job until his successor is in place this fall.

Against Akron, junior Shayla Bush (Spokane, WA) recorded a career-high 27 digs and added 13 kills to post her first double-double of the season. Freshman Sandra Nunner (Muenster, Germany) had an outstanding match, tallying a career-high 16 kills, along with 10 digs to record her first collegiate double-double. Senior Lauren Venarchik (Westminster, PA) added 12 kills, while sophomore Addie Thiry (Louiseville, KY) had seven total blocks (three solo, four assists). Senior co-captain Pualani Tuyay (San Diego, CA) had 48 assists.
In the sweep of Quinnipiac, freshman Courtney Stout (San Marcos, CA) notched the first double-double of her career, with 15 kills at a .500 hitting percentage, and 10 digs. Bush narrowly missed her second consecutive double-double, with 14 kills and nine digs. Nunner contributed 11 kills at a .400 hitting percentage and four digs and Tuyay added 42 assists.
One of the keys to the Scarlet Knights victory was a vast improvement in their team hitting percentage. The squad improved its hitting percentage from .123 against Akron, to .377 against Quinnipiac.
The Scarlet Knights will return to action next weekend at the George Washington
Invitational. The team will face Morgan State on Friday, Sept. 6 at 11:00 a.m.,
then take on Radford and the host Colonials on Saturday, Sept. 7.

I just watched the documentary, #whilewewatch. It's free online, and you can watch it too. It's only 45 minutes.
It's also very overwhelmingly male–and except for one man, really fucking white.
This bothers me. It is more than just political correctness or affirmative action–it is about me (and all of the other women, women of color), and the hard work I (we) have put into this movement (especially making media to accurately portray this movement) being completely ignored.
I'm a woman. I'm not silent, I'm not invisible and I'm not decoration. In fact, I have fantasized about countering the evils of capitalism through revolution and taking the streets and a radical redistribution of wealth and re-evaluation of our cultural values since long before #OccupyWallStreet was conceived as an idea. To me (and many others), Occupy Wall Street was an answer–a powerful force to show that we were not crazy, and more importantly not alone. It wasn't about being a hippie, being rebellious or doing something counter-culture just for the sake of doing something counter-culture–it was something that was deeply, deeply needed to shift the dialogue towards the privatization polices and rampant inequality that has absolutely entirely left so many of us completely fucked.
(There really is not a more polite way to put that and properly get my point across).
The reality is, the people organizing Occupy Wall Street, taking the streets, making documentaries, writing articles and exposing the corruption of both our police force and the one percent that rigs our government are women and men of all races and sexual identities. Of course, there have been difficulties–it is impossible for all of us to acknowledge and confront our intricate roles as oppressors and oppressed without working through uncomfortable moments. Still, Occupy–through meetings, media and conversations has provided a space to have these essential conversations, enlightening some of us to our privilege, allowing some of us to speak out in a safe space about our oppression, doing a combination of these for all of us in between. Our differences are our strength and inclusivity–as we bring more and more voices, experiences and ideas of how to make the world a more equitable place we truly will become a powerful force of collaborative change.
My participation in Occupy Wall Street originally had nothing to do with the fact that I was a woman. At first, I was an American before I was a woman.
But then the boy's club came to town.
Disclaimer: The following paragraphs might get a little bit salty–I don't know the sodium content, because frankly I haven't written them yet. I just wanted to say that I mean nothing against male journalists and media makers, and nothing against white men in general. I'm friends with several white male journalists, media makers, commentators and activists–and many of them have an amazing social conscience about their personal privilege merely by being white males.
Soon, those of us who have been activists–or at least bleeding hearts who genuinely believed that change in the world was possible–for years began to feel "replaced" by white men. It wasn't a conscious decision, but this made it a little bit more scary. In the first Occupied Wall Street Journal, there were no female bylines. The vast majority of journalists and pundits asked to comment on television shows were white and male. The journalists who were asked to cover the topic for major publications–and likewise were paid more for their work–were majority male.
TIME Magazine even famously asked "Where are all the women reporting OWS?" Those of us like myself and Alison Kilkenny who were there since day one, and Sarah Jaffe who was there shortly thereafter were rightfully infuriated. I elaborated a little bit more on all of this here.
You see, I don't want to have to see myself as a woman in the movement. I want to see myself as in the movement. And, the wonderful part is I have met several amazing women through the movement–and when the movement is at its height and we are in the streets facing off with the NYPD and have the magical feeling that another world really is possible, gender and race don't matter for a split second because we truly are one.
However, when I see a representation of #OccupyWallStreet that shows barely any women, I'm suddenly struck with my difference. I don't see myself documented in what is supposed to be a posterity portrait of something that my heart, soul, and every thought has been quite literally occupied by. I don't feel any antagonism towards the men who are represented, and I agree for the most part with most of what they say. I just want my presence–by which I mean the presence of all women who occupy–to be remembered, documented and passed on for generations.
I want my daughters to watch a documentary about #OccupyWallStreet and see that a woman's place is in the revolution. I want them to see that there are role model women who are loud, smart, articulate and are rewarded for devoting themselves to social change. I want them to know that we/they are so much more than just the Hot Chicks that Occupy Wall Street–I want them to know that we/they are the hardworking agents of social change.

Recipe: Authentic Chai
In Devesh and Tara's Spice Pantry kitchen tour, Devesh shared two recipes: one for an Indian breakfast called Poha, or flattened rice, and another for authentic Chai - that strongly spiced, milky tea we love.
The Chai was so different from what I've come to know as the slightly cloying, heavily spiced Chai from local teashops that I couldn't believe it was the same thing. It was truly wonderful. Recipe and a guide to the ingredients below...
Clockwise from top left (some of the many ingredients that be used to make chai): ginger, loose, black tea, Vietnamese cinnamon, fennel seed, tea masala, green cardamom.
(All measurements are per cup – multiply for the number of cups or medium-sized mugs you are making. There are two approaches: focus on one key spice, like cardamom, or use a smaller quantity of several ingredients)
3/4 cup water plus 1/4 cup milk (if you are using skim or 1 percent, use half milk and half water)
Sugar to taste
Roughly ~2 teaspoons per cup loose black tea leaves (Ideally Assam or Ceylon tea – English Breakfast will do)
Some or all of the following (measurements are per cup or per medium-sized mug):
2 green cardamom pods
2-3 whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1-2 pieces cinnamon ("real cinnamon" not Cassia. May be labeled "Vietnamese cinnamon")
Fresh ginger (2-3 thin slices for extra zing)
Loose tea masala (a mixture of spices) (Devesh has both the MDH and Everest brands. Kalustyans has a loose Tea masala sold by weight);
and ginger (see above) if desired
Heat water and milk. Before it comes to a boil, add fresh ginger (with skin, sliced into thin rounds), if using and any or several of the following: a few pods of green cardamom, Cinnamon stick, fennel seeds, peppercorns and/or cinnamon. Devesh used 1/8 teaspoon of tea masala per cup and fresh ginger, skipping the other spices. When the milk / water mixture boils, add loose black tea. Turn off the heat and let steep for 2 minutes. Pour into a cup through a sieve to strain out tea leaves and spices. Add sugar / sweetener to taste.

what is that type of tea called? what brand? from the photos, it does not look like regular black tea leaves -- looks like little balls of tea (have not seen anything like it before).
this sounds great. thanks. has anyone tried making homemade chai w/ soymilk for the lactose intolerant? how did it turn out?
Sundays at Moosewood cookbook has a great spicy Chai recipe too.
@s in DC,
I make Rooibos chai with soy milk all the time. When I'm feeling ambitious, I use the cappucino frother for the soy milk. But I believe if you heat the soy milk and pour it into the tea from up high like a cartoonish scientist you will create a little more foamy mixture.
I'd love to try a real home-made chai base but have only used the TJ's Rooibos chai tea bags. And I sweeten it with honey.
My husband and I tried this recipe Saturday night ... it was honestly some of the best chai we've ever tasted! Since then we've made it 4 times ...
S in DC, soy works really well with chai.
I make variations of this chai, depending on my mood, with sliced ginger (keeps well frozen, too), cardamom pods (softly crushed to open them up), cinnamon and nutmeg as a base. Last night I added a few strands of saffron and it added a subtle and beautiful depth. Raw honey adds another dimension, and it's good for you, too.
That mug! That is a gorgeous mug. Anyone know where to find them?
Hi everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed the chai recipe! I think it is delicious too - glad you tried it. A few answers to your questions: the tea pictured in the mise en place image is Ceylon - it's not balls of tea but rather finely chopped (or broken up) tea leaves. The one I bought was just from the supermarket - Twinings loose Ceylon tea - nothing special.
The mug (thank you) is made by my father-in-law, who is a potter. If you are interested, you can contact me via my blog.
Thanks for your interest, I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.
Does anyone know what goes into Tea Masala? I'd like to try making some of my own.
It's just a premix of some or all the same spices I've mentioned in the recipe - different proportions and mixes . . .
An easy way to make similar tea is with the Tazo organic chai teabag. For 12 ounces I use 3/4 hot water and 1/4 milk(2%), 2 satchets of sugar(or per your taste) and heat in in the microwave for 45 secs. Make sure to watch the tea cuz it may boil over.
ohhhh sooo good! thanks for posting this and reminding me to make a pot. i crave hot tasty drinks during this cold/wet season upon us...and i'm trying to stay away from too much coffee. not only is this a great substitute for it, but the ingredients in it are also superb for the digestion and making the body warm. thank youuuuuu!
I'm way late to this, but if anyone ends up reading this, try adding fresh mint leaves to your chai, letting them boil with the tea. It adds wonderful flavor and goes well with the mix of spices. Also, the way I'm accustomed to making chai is boiling the water, spices and tea together first, then adding the milk (first warmed 30 seconds in the microwave). It creates a stronger, more flavorful tea.
I grew up with my dad making traditional Indian chai every single morning. When I started drinking tea, he would make me a cup, too. I was probably the only high schooler drinking chai, and before it was trendy (in the '90s), too!
I can't wait to try this recipe!
I would really like to get some of the pottery, Sabra; how do I get to your blog?
Hi, I am interested in purchasing the beautiful mug made by your father in law. I understand I am rather late but is there any means of making this happen?
Kind Regards.

A fiery accident claimed the lives of a father and son Wednesday evening after an SUV crashed and burned on Interstate 15 in southern Utah.
West Jordan resident James F. Gardner, 48, was driving a Dodge Durango south on I-I5 with his son, Darrell Gardner, 6.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Witnesses said Gardner was driving in the far right lane and went off onto the shoulder, overcorrected back towards the median and rolled twice in the median and caught on fire instantly.
The accident happened at about 6:15 p.m. while the car was headed south about four miles north of St. George, according to Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Todd Johnson.
Southbound lanes were detoured until just after 10 p.m.
Johnson said investigators weren't immediately sure what caused Gardner to drift off the road.

Rise of Consumer Robots: Google's Driverless Car and iRobot
Alvin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The potential of robotics is immense. Robots can be mass produced, operate in environments too harsh for humans, and complete repetitive tasks quickly and accurately. Robots have already become common in industries where they perform tasks such as welding, assembly, disassembly, and processing. According to a research report by MarketsandMarkets, the global industrial robotics market is expected to grow to $32.8 billion by 2017.
In addition to the industrial robotics market, robots are edging into the consumer market. The potential of consumer robotics is huge. With a global population of around 7 billion people, companies that build the right consumer robot will make a ton of money. iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT), which generates more than half of its revenue from home robots, states in its 2011 annual report, "Robots represent a new and emerging market."
There are many impressive robots that have been or are currently being developed. Two examples are ASIMO and TOPIO. ASIMO and TOPIO, designed by Honda Motor (NYSE: HMC) and TOSY Robotics, respectively, are humanoid and have 34 and 39 degrees of freedom, respectively. ASIMO is capable of walking, climbing and descending stairs, avoiding obstacles, responding to basic human commands, and carrying objects. TOPIO is designed to play table tennis. Another impressive design comes from China's Zhejiang University. The university has also built robots capable of playing table tennis. Two of the university's robots are demonstrated here rallying for a long period of time.
While there are many companies and research labs all working on amazing consumer robots, the best investments, currently, are tech giant Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and iRobot. Google and iRobot are building practical robots. While Google's driverless car is still a few years away from being ready, it is truly an engineering wonder and has the potential to revolutionize the world. A demonstration of the technology can be seen here.
The potential of the technology to make driving safer is huge. The computer driver reacts faster than a human driver, has 360 degrees field of view, does not get tired, does not get distracted, and does not get intoxicated. As of August, Google's driverless cars have driven a total of 300,000 autonomous accident-free miles.
The closest competitors to Google are probably Ford Motor (NYSE: F) and Volkswagen. Traffic Jam Assist and Temporary Auto Pilot, designed by Ford and Volkswagen, respectively, allow a car to drive itself on a highway. The two technologies rely on adaptive cruise control and sensors. General Motors (NYSE: GM) is also researching autonomous cars. GM plans to wirelessly link cars that have its driverless technology together. However, GM only expects to start testing its technology in 2015. Currently, Google's driverless car is far superior to its competitors. In addition, Google's driverless cars are the first autonomous cars to be issued a driver's license in the US.
On the other hand, iRobot has been quietly growing with its home cleaning robots. The company has several home robots currently in the market. Its most famous home robot is the Roomba, which provides autonomous vacuuming. iRobot's other robots Scooba, Verro, and Looj provide autonomous floor washing, pool cleaning, and gutter cleaning, respectively. The following table sums up iRobot's business.
As shown, iRobot's home robot division accounts for over half of the company's revenue. The rest of the company's revenue comes from US government contracts. Besides 2009, when the global economy went into deep recession, iRobot's shipments of home robots have been steadily climbing. In the foreseeable future, this growth will likely continue because the market is new and iRobot has a head start and a stronger brand name than its competitors. In addition, the robots save people time. Why waste time vacuuming when a robot can do it? iRobot does have competitors such as Evolution Robotics and Neato, but the market has so many potential customers that competition is not a big problem at the moment. Also, iRobot has the option to expand its current designs and add functionalities beyond cleaning.
In summary, iRobot and Google are a good investment combination into the consumer robotics market. Google has a revolutionary technology and iRobot is a leader with a strong growing foothold. While Google's driverless car is not yet ready, Google's current business is strong enough to get the project into the market. In addition, Google's large amounts of capital, strong background in programming, and large data processing centers give the company a huge advantage over its competitors. Finally, even if Google's driverless car fails, Google's core business of internet search is a good business to fall back into.
On the other hand, iRobot has robots that are already in the market. The robots are practical and help people maintain their homes. In a recent press release, iRobot stated that it has sold more than 8 million home robots worldwide. Basically, the company is in good position to ride the growth of consumer robots. Although the market for consumer robotics is still developing, it is in similar position to where the PC was during the 1980s. It should not be ignored. Investors who want to profit from this emerging market should go with a market leader and a company with a game changing technology. iRobot and Google are the way to go.
