Back in the days before children, my husband and I squabbled occasionally on whether or not we should help our kids pay for college. I thought it tremendously important that we do so, him not so much. It's one of those bridges we agreed to cross when we came to it.
Then we had a kid, looked at our schooling options, and decided to enroll her in private school, despite the economic toll it takes on our family. It's a sacrifice we're willing to make for our children, and they're getting a better education than they would at the local public school.
Side note: The public school would spend more money on our kids than the private school they attend does. This is why I strongly support a voucher system, because choice and competition increases quality of education, not massive sums of money thrown at it.
Anyway. Because we've decided to enroll our kids in schools that will actually teach them, rather than give them participation trophies and spend money fighting social issues in the legislature, the importance of paying for their college educations has dwindled considerably for me. In fact, given the state of universities these days, the importance of even going to college at all is highly questionable.
College grads aren't getting jobs, and at least 85% of them are moving back home with mom and dad. I love my parents a lot, but I would rather share an apartment with three other girls and work flipping burgers or cleaning houses than move back home with my parents after graduation, but to each their own.
Given the fact that college graduates aren't exactly finding easy employment combined with the precarious student loan business bubble, I can't really see encouraging kids to go into debt for education unless they want to go into a field that requires it, like medicine or law. Seriously … what's the point?
There's been a lot of talk in the news recently about the doubling of federal student loan rates, which completely ignores the real problem: The outlandish cost of higher education these days.
Sarah Lacy over at TechCrunch has an interesting write-up on an interview with PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, who boldly states, "No one pays a quarter of a million dollars just to read Chaucer," while talking about the outrageous price tag on a Harvard education.
Mr. Thiel is challenging the notion that college is necessary for anyone that wants to be successful by sponsoring the 20 Under 20 Thiel Fellowship, a program that has granted $100,000 to 20 people under 20 years old to drop out of school and spend two years starting their own business. So far, results have been quite impressive.
The fact of the matter is that not everyone needs to or even should attend college. It's not the shoo-in to a job it once was, so young people should weigh the cost-benefit analysis very carefully before deciding whether or not to enroll in post-high school studies.
Federal loan rates doubling might make that decision easier for many young people, and I salute those that say, "No thank you," to a horrendously expensive education just because they think that's what they need to do. I'd encourage any and all young people to use wisdom, discernment, and practicality when trying to figure out their calling in life.
Then again, public schools aren't really big on teaching wisdom, discernment, and practicality these days. They're having a hard time just teaching kids to read and do basic math.
This post is part of a weekly conversation with our Moms Matter 2012 political bloggers. To see the original question and what the other writers have to say, read What Do You Think About the Student Loan Interest Rate?

This is why I am all for technical or vocational schooling, where you actually learn how to do a job without all the nonsense. Something like nursing, dental hygenist, electrician, insurance sales, etc.
My son has one more year of high school then he is going to a community college to get his associate degree and then he plans to go to a trade school. I am fine with that. The 2 years in the community college will cost less than 10,0000. We have been saving for his and his sisters college since they were born and if they both go this route...momma getting a beach house with the money left over :)))))
The rates are fine as they are. The ides that doubling them will make kids think about their financial future is just a load of bull. That's like saying let's arbitrarily double mortgage rate simply to make people consider how expensive buying a home is. Everyone should pay for the education they choose to get but doubling rates is just asinine.

Here's a handy little Firefox extension that can be really useful. It adds a little cellphone icon to your Firefox browser. Click on it, and you get a pop-up window that lets you send a text message to your own phone or anyone else's as long as you know their number and carrier.
I mostly use this to send messages to own phone, things I'd otherwise write on little scraps of paper and lose. I copy and paste meeting information like addresses and room numbers, just as a backup to my memory, or titles of books or articles I want to check out. It's easy to copy and paste from webpages or e-mail, or if I just need to send a reminder to myself or someone else, it's easier for me to type it in from the keyboard than to use the phone's keypad. The window shows you how many characters you've used, so you'll know if your message is going to get split into parts.
In addition to its usefulness as a personal memory aid, you could also use this as a way to send text messages to colleagues or library users. Sending the message is free, but recipients may have to pay to receive the messages, depending on their plan, so I wouldn't use this to send messages to anyone without their consent, and I wouldn't send anything confidential this way.

Menefee scores 39 as Evergreen breezes past Southern, 105-69
OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Nate Menefee connected for his sixth 30-point-plus game of the season as The Evergreen State College men's basketball team downed Southern Oregon University, 105-69, on Friday night at the Greenhouse to set up a tough battle with #5 Oregon Tech, which comes to Evergreen having knocked Northwest University out of its share of first place.The Owls defeated Northwest, 64-57, on the road Friday night.
Evergreen led by 11 at the half and erased most doubt with a 24-11 run to start the second that gave the Geoducks a 75-52 mark at the midpoint of the second.
With 5:21 to go, Menefee missed the first of two free throws -- had he made it he would have ended with his third career 40-point game. Anthony Gallagher, who threw down a couple of rim-rattling dunks for good measure, added 17 while Ben Wilson scored 16 and Tyrell Dixon 10. Julio Feliciano paced the game with 13 rebounds and also added seven assists and nine points.
Justonn Smith led the Raiders with 17 points on a night when their leading scorer, Jarrad Childs, was held scoreless on just three field goal attempts in 22 minutes of playing time. The Evergreen-Oregon Tech game gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
October 2014
- 05.10.2012
- Import and Export Prices
U.S. import prices fell 0.5 percent in April, marking the first monthly decrease since October 2011. April's decline was below consensus forecasts which had predicted a more modest 0.1 percent decrease. Petroleum prices fell 1.8 percent, driving the monthly decline of the overall index, while nonpetroleum import prices remained unchanged from March to April. On a year-over-year basis, import prices were up 0.5, decelerating from the 5.25 percent average yearly growth seen throughout the first quarter of 2012. Making 1.3 percent yearly growth in April, nonfuel import prices also weakened compared to their first quarter average of 2.5 percent. Petroleum prices fell by 1.7 percent on a year-over-year basis, posting the first decline since 2009. The slowdown in year-over-year growth rates indicate low price pressure stemming from abroad.
Export prices ticked up 0.4 percent in April, after increasing 0.8 percent in March. Gains in both nonagricultural export prices (0.2 percent) and agricultural export prices (2.0 percent) contributed to April's gain. April's modest 0.7 percent year-over-year advance was the smallest yearly gain since October 2009.

County likely to donate to 2015 cycling event
Henrico County officials are proposing that the county contribute direct and indirect funding and support totaling no more than $1.4 million to Richmond 2015, the organization that will host the nine-day UCI World Road Cycling Championships in the Greater Richmond region in three years.
That's the same amount requested of the county by Richmond 2015 officials in September, although they sought the total amount in cash donations spread evenly over the next three years.
Instead, County Manager Virgil Hazelett has proposed a $300,000 cash donation in 2015 only and the application of other associated costs, such as security, traffic control and overtime police pay, toward the $1.4 million total. Henrico's share of contributions made to Richmond 2015 by the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau and Greater Richmond Convention Center also would be included in that amount.
Only one event – a time trial for men and women on the first day – is proposed to occur in Henrico. Organizers originally wanted to begin the 17-mile event at Short Pump Town Center and conclude it in Richmond, but Henrico officials determined that such a route would require that 62 intersections be closed for more than 10 hours.
That inconvenience – and the associated cost of overtime pay for police officers along the route – wouldn't make sense for the county, Hazelett said. So, county officials are working with Richmond 2015 to identify another route that is a better fit, he said.
Henrico Director of Management and Budget Brandon Hinton told the Board of Supervisors during a work session Oct. 23 that the county could not justify a cash contribution of $1.4 million when its anticipated direct tax benefit would be just $1.063 million, according to an estimate provided by Richmond 2015.
And, Hinton and Hazelett told the board, that estimate is aggressive because it includes anticipated hotel tax revenue that county officials believe is impossible to achieve.
"Clearly, the event will have a positive impact on the Richmond region," Hinton said. "[But] we don't want to pay out more than we think we're going to get in return."
The nine-day event will feature cyclists from more than 70 countries and an anticipated crowd of about 450,000.

The Boathouse to open at Short Pump Town Center
The Boathouse restaurant will open at Short Pump Town Center in the spring, its third location in the region.
"People have asked us to come to the West End for years," said owner Kevin Healy. "When the opportunity arose, we knew had to jump on it."
The new restaurant will be located in a 5,800-square-foot space under the Hyatt House Hotel at the town center and will include a large outdoor patio. > Read more.
Getting a 'mouf'-ful
Boka Kantina exceeds its strong food truck reputation
Already a fan of Boka fare from outdoor events with the Tako Truck, I was delighted to learn of the new restaurant, and eager to see if its reputation held up after putting down brick-and-mortar roots.
Would the food lose its zest if I wasn't enjoying it in the great outdoors? Would it seem pedestrian served from an ordinary kitchen instead of a truck?
Would the tacos be less satisfying as an antidote to normal lunch hunger – instead of being ingested to stave off desperate hunger after a long afternoon of crowds, sun, and tedious lines? > Read more.

The man who brought you the chart-topping 1980s album Sports has a problem with today's sports.
Huey Lewis has penned a piece for the music-themed website TheTalkHouse.com in which he states his case for why pre-recorded music should be banned from sporting events, specifically baseball games. His argument is that it "has begun to seriously degrade the experience of going to a ballgame."
He lists several reasons why he feels this way. Firstly, Huey thinks pre-recorded music drowns out the natural sounds heard at a ballpark, like the crack of the bat, the chatter of the fans, and the vendors selling their goods.
Not only is the pre-recorded music loud, Huey says, but the quality is poor because of the way the speakers are set up at the ballpark.
Huey says the best part about a pre-recorded music ban would be that it would "do away with those over-played theme songs that annoy and belittle athletes and audiences alike." He cites "Wheels on the Bus" as one example.
Huey is an advocate for live music during a sporting event, whether it come from an organist or a local music group. He writes, "The worst live organist is better than the best pre-recorded music."

Can fictional superheroes provide positive role models in children's lives?
Chances are that if you're reading this page you are already motivated to help provide the ideas needed by your children to shape their own burgeoning personal philosophies and characters. But what about children who lack positive role models in their lives or, worse still, are betrayed by them? Do composite role models like THE 99, created with positive traits and characteristics that are universally valued and neutrally composed, provide even better role models than those randomly seen in their daily lives?
Closing Statement from Naif Al-Mutawa
Thank you all very much for contributing to this conversation. I have learned a lot from your comments and experiences. The whole is more than the sum of its parts and you have all given me parts today that I will be reflecting on what I learned in this TED conversation for a while. Please do watch my latest 6 minute TED talk on THE 99 and Islamophobia at TED on http://blog.ted.com/2011/09/07/ted-blog-exclusive-the-continuing-saga-of-the99-superheroes-inspired-by-islam/ and I look forward to continuin =g the conversation on twittter and/or facebook and hope to Inshallah see you at a TED event.

Comments On Apr 21, 2014:If you have the A-Star neck brace, toss the thin Xstaps that come with it. This A strap is the trick. It took me a little while to figure out the back attachment. But after that, smooth sailing. Keeps my brace in place for a better more desired fit. It's a "MUST HAVE" go ahead and spend the money and you will be glad you did.

Comments On Mar 26, 2014:Well worth it, keeps the neck support from bouncing around, unlike the straps that come with the neck support originally.

Comments On Mar 17, 2014:I like the feel of using safety equipment. You can adjust the strap so it is pretty firm on its place, the brace will not jump around .

Comments On Feb 12, 2014:Had to buy a new neck brace after swapping out in a section whoops ad breaking the old brace 10x more comfortable then the previous version. Only downside you cant use the older version A-strap assembly. But other than that its great!

Comments On Dec 18, 2013:Its kind of expensive producto for what it is but it gets the work done way better than the stok band that come with the neck brace.

Comments On Dec 01, 2013:No matter how rough the terrain, the A-Straps keep the A-Stars Bionic in place. They work well while wearing an under-the-jersey chest protector or even without one. I wish I hadn't waited as long as I did to get the A-Straps. If you have an A-Stars Bionic neck brace, then spend the few dollars and get the A-Straps.

Comments On Oct 11, 2013:You have to get these if you get a neck support!!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 22, 2013:Nice add on for the Neck Support; however, the snap button became separated from the strap that comes across the riders chest to hold the support on. I went to walmart and picked up a snap buckle and modified the strap for the snap buckle. The support would have gotten 5 stars except for the snap issue. Would purchase again would recommend to a friend.

Comments On Dec 05, 2012:Poor quality on the buckles and straps no instructions and no info on using it with a chest guard. I hate the X straps but they are just as sturdy and way more simple. Good thing for Rocky Mt. awesome return policy.

Rick Perry likes to say that the reason the Texas economy performs so well is because of the quality of the state's work force, the reasonableness of regulations pertaining to business, and the passage of tort reform in 2003. I'll grant him his evaluation of the work force and the importance of tort reform. But when it comes to the reasonableness of regulations pertaining to business, that's a different story. For instance, consider this story from the July 24 edition of the Dallas Morning News:
Two families are calling out the Texas Department of Insurance for not protecting ratepayers hit with a 75% increase in their premiums for long-term care insurance. They raise a valid question. Is the Texas Department of Insurance an ally of the insurance industry or an ally of consumers. Is the agency so limited in its powers granted by lawmakers that it can't stop rising costs. Texas granted a 75% increase, compared with other states that approved a 20 or 25% increase when requested by Allianze Life Insurance Co. of North America.Read More

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Ordered these for my daughters Bridal Shower. Customized the color to match her wedding theme. The cards were beautiful and contained all the information I needed. I was very pleased with the service and details of the card."
"I was able to get this card in the colors I wanted. It arrived ahead of schedule. Everything looks exactly like it did on the computer. Couldn't be happier."
"Ordered these for my bridal shower and love them! Love the design and color. Very elegant. Great quality of paper. Love my experience with Wedding Paper Divas!"
"I love this invitation! The only change would be to make the text one size bigger. It's hard to see where the couple is registered."
"Wanted something Deco and this was just what we were looking for. The paper quality was outstanding, better than expected. Wish this kind of quality was around when I got married."

Last year, Miley Cyrus was #1 on Maxim magazine's Hot 100 list of the hottest females. But on a similar list of the "100 Most Desirable Women" just released by AskMen.com , she's at #99. Why would Miley rank so low? Surely all that nudity is worth something, right? Well, apparently, that ranking wasn't entirely based on merit: the website put her there for a reason.
In a statement, AskMen publisher James Bassil explains , "The final Top 99 list is the product of both reader and staff votes, but if it were up to the staff alone I don't think we'd be seeing Miley Cyrus on it. AskMen reader votes secured her a spot, but we remain skeptical about some of her recent behavior...at the moment No. 99 seems to be the right spot for her."
Explaining why Miley is desirable in the first place, the website writes, "She's become a boundary-pushing superstar whose music comes second to her brand. Sure, her act may be carefully designed to garner attention, but we're still looking forward to seeing what stunts she pulls this year."
Of course, Miley isn't the only pop star featured on the list. Here's a roundup of the others:
Katy Perry
AskMen.com says: "Perry, who rocks a revealing bikini top on the cover [of GQ's February issue], is riding high off her 2013 album, Prism , and its inescapable hit single, Roar . That means we'll be seeing much more of her ample curves in photo spreads to come."
Selena Gomez
AskMen.com says: "Until recently, most men didn't pay too much attention to Selena Gomez. Sure, we knew her as the cute girl tweens like to listen to, and, of course, as the girlfriend of Bieber. But Spring Breakers opened all of our eyes. A movie in which the leads spend most of the running time in bikinis will do that to you."
Ariana Grande
AskMen.com says: "Forget Miley with her publicity plays -- Ariana Grande is the real pop star of the moment...Yes, her music may be geared to tweens, but Ariana has looks that will disarm any man."
Taylor Swift
AskMen.com says: "Taylor Swift's love life seems to be everyone's business, but we don't care whose bed her boots have been under -- she's still America's sweetheart."
AskMen.com says: "...The Barbadian superstar...has been named the sexiest woman alive by more than one men's magazine. Also notable: she can twerk upside down (see the "Pour It Up" video for proof)."
AskMen.com says: "In 2013, Beyoncé officially transcended pop stardom to become something akin to royalty...[she] convinced us for the umpteenth time of her general unattainable perfection. We've got to hand it to Jay Z -- we'd feel insufficient in her presence."
So who's #1 on AskMen.com's list? Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke , who plays the sometimes topless Daenerys Targaryen, aka the Mother of Dragons.

Draper, Utah, May 13, 2012—Kids. Fish. And lots of both.
Packed to the gills, so to speak, in more ways than one, the Living Planet Aquarium (LPA) in Draper, Utah, is the perfect getaway for families with children eager to experience wonders of life underwater.
While LPA boasts exhibits that would impress most adults, it is a place designed with young children in mind.
Just 20 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City, the aquarium is bursting at the seams with aquatic life. It is hard to imagine that so many displays with so many animals can fit in so few square feet—43,000, to be precise, about the size of an average grocery store.
But the layout facilitates large crowds (of mostly kids) to navigate the displays easily and orderly. Everything about the Living Planet Aquarium is well-planned and beautifully presented. A large staff and corps of volunteer experts are usually ready to offer insight and answer questions.
Passing the ticket counter, visitors are invited to enter the central exhibit: Ocean Explorer, where a large touch pool beckons. Kids will be naturally drawn to it if not for anything more than to splash a bit, but will soon find themselves petting the friendly sting rays.
Sharks, sea turtles, jellyfish, an octopus, and various other ocean dwellers are on full display in the main exhibit, all accessible to youngsters. Even toddlers can get up close and personal with the aquarium's residents since all displays have steps up to the glass.
If they feel the urge to act like fish, there is a small "coral" playground in which they can run around.
Not far away from the sharks and rays is an Amazon adventure in the Journey to South American exhibit. The sheer quantity of species almost overwhelms their impressiveness. Most popularly, the Gentoo penguins, don't disappoint. Graceful and playful, streams of air bubbles trail off their sleek bodies as they dive and swim about.
South America has much more than penguins, though, and visitors can see such standard Amazon fare as an anaconda, tarantulas, various frogs and toads, caimans, piranhas. There is even an electric eel, whose voltage is run through nodes, which kids can feel.
For the parent interested in providing young children with an engaging learning opportunity that is fun, LPA delivers.
In this regard the animals provide the best models. LPA features three male North American River Otters who play 24-4, according to the docents. The otters are part of the larger Discover Utah exhibit, the third main section of the aquarium. Otter were once known to be plentiful in Utah, but are now rare and protected. Those at LPA were born in captivity and in New York.
Natives or not, the crowds love them, and again, kids can easily see them through the large glass panes or a "gopher hole" window designed especially for youngsters.
Besides the three main exhibits, LPA has a small section of "Animal Superheroes" that features smaller organisms with incredible abilities and characteristics, from glow in the dark scorpions to the spitting archer fish.
Calypso's Café on site offers snacks suited to the young palette (pizza and hot dogs) and a place to sit for adults. Parents are welcome to bring in food, though there is no microwave.
LP also has a crack team of child rescuers. If a young person does the unimaginable and wanders off, staff have well-rehearsed procedures to find him or her immediately. (I provided a "test case" and they found my boy in 45 seconds. He couldn't figure out what all the fuss was about).
If one is interested in a leisurely and educational stroll though a world-class aquarium, one should visit after school hours.

Baseball moves into second in GWC standings with Sunday sweep
By HEATHER KENNEDY
EDINBURG, Texas – The first game took 14 innings, but the Northern Colorado baseball team became the first team all year to win back-to-back games at Texas-Pan American, doing so in thrilling fashion with a 7-5 victory. In the second game of the doubleheader, the Bears again shut out the Broncs, winning 4-0 to win the four-game series 3-1 and take over second place in the Great West standings.
The Bears (25-26, 15-9 Great West) are now 24-26-1 all-time in extra-inning games and are 1-1 in 2012. It was the first extra-inning game the team has played in Great West Conference action, though the last two years they have lost in 10 innings in the Great West Tournament in the final game of the season. The 14 innings is also the second-longest game played in school history, just shy of the 15 the 2010 team played at Sam Houston State.
The 25 victories by the Bears surpasses last year's total of 24 wins and the team has at least seven games remaining in 2012.
Texas-Pan American hadn't been shut out at home all season when the Bears came to town and hadn't been kept off the scoreboard since May 27, 2010 when Northern Colorado won 10-0 in the first-ever Great West Tournament.
Both teams had 14 hits in the first game, but the Broncs (27-18, 14-10 Great West) had four errors, compared to just one by the Bears. The Bears scored three runs in the first, one each in the seventh and eighth and two in the 14th, while the Broncs scored one in the first and two each in the second and fourth.
Senior Adam Hilker had two hits in the first game and one in the second game to stretch his career-long hitting streak to 16 games. The short stop has been on base at least once in all 50 games this season in which he's played (of the team's 51).
After going scoreless the first six innings in game two, the Bears hung a crooked number in the seventh inning, plating four for the only scoring in the game.
Freshman Jensen Park went 2-for-4, while the other six hits in the game were spread across six different hitters, though Hilker drove in two of the four runs. The Bears were also hit by a pitch eight times in the nightcap, including senior Casey Coy getting hit three times.
The Bears conclude the regular season with a Tuesday game at home against Air Force, beginning at 3 pm and then head to Orem, Utah to take on the hottest team in Division I in Utah Valley. The Wolverines are currently riding a 32-game winning streak, the fourth-longest in NCAA Division I history.
Game One Recap
Hilker singled in the first inning and ended game one with a pair of hits. Freshman Ryan Yamane went 4-for-7 with two doubles, scoring two of the team's seven runs – including the game winner -- and senior Adrian Schenk had the other multi-hit game, going 2-for-5.
The Northern Colorado pitching did a great job of not allowing free base runners as they walked just one in 14 innings.
Senior Nate Steinmetz allowed five runs on eight hits in four innings of work. He struck out two and walked just one. Junior Jake Johnson threw a solid 5.2 innings in relief, giving up just four hits and he fanned two. Senior Cameron Tallman struck out the only batter he faced and freshman Jess Amedee (5-3) got the win after surrendering just two hits in four innings with one strikeout.
Freshman Taylor Anderson walked and moved to third on the single through the right side by Hilker. Sophomore Colby Harrison reached on catcher's interference and all scored on a single by Schenk that went over the second baseman's head. The ball was mishandled in center and then overthrown into the dugout on the third-baseline for the 3-0 lead.
The Broncs got two hits in the bottom of the first but the Flying Hawai'in struck again as Park made a diving, rolling back-handed catch in left-center to allow only one run to cross in the frame for the 3-1 tally.
In the bottom of the second, the Broncs had four singles and a sacrifice bunt to knot the score at 3-3. There were runners on first and third with one out when Steinmetz threw a pitch out. The batter was called out on batter's interference and the runner at first was caught stealing in a run down to end the inning in a strange ruling by the officiating crew.
With two outs in the fourth, Park and junior Harrison Lambert were both hit in the middle of the back on consecutive pitches. A pitch hit freshman Eric Ferguson, but the umpire said he was leaning over the plate and called it strike three to end the inning.
The Broncs scored two in the bottom of the fourth to take a 5-3 lead.
Yamane led off the top of the seventh with a double down the right field line and moved to third on a groundout by Anderson. Coy grounded out to the first baseman, but got the RBI to make the score 5-4.
Harrison started the eighth in the same fashion, doubling down the right field line. Schenk sacrificed himself to put Harrison on third. Park hit a long fly ball to right, which the right fielder misplayed. In the scorebook, it's a sacrifice fly with an error to knot the game at 5-5.
Johnson worked quickly in the eighth, he hit a batter, but got a groundout and two flyouts sandwiched around the hit batsman.
Yamane again got things going for the Bears, starting the ninth with a single to left but he was stranded on first as Zach Zouzalik struck out both senior Tony Crudo and Coy, though Coy had an 11-pitch at bat, fouling off several pitches.
Johnson gave up just one hit in the bottom of the ninth, but got a strikeout and two quick fly outs to force extra innings.
With two outs in the tenth, Schenk singled back up the middle, but Klemcke made a good play at short stop to throw out Park for the final out.
With two outs in the bottom of the tenth and a runner on first, Tallman struck out Angel Ibanez for the second-straight day and pushed the game to the 11th.
With one out, Kevin Hurd, who came in during the sixth inning, doubled down the left field line but again the Bears stranded a runner.
Amedee replaced Tallman on the hill for the 11th inning and he promptly retired the side in order on just eight pitches.
Harrison was hit by a pitch with two outs in the top of the 12th and junior pitcher Dan Talley pinch ran, but he was left at first.
The Broncs got one hit off Amedee in the 12th, but Roger Bernal was also stranded at first base after singling up the middle with two outs. The Bears went down in order in the top half of inning 13.
Ibanez singled up the middle, but Lambert noticed he had taken too big of a lead off first, called for the pitch out and Lambert threw down to Coy at first who tagged him out and ended the threat.
Yamane led off the top of the 14th with a double down the left field line. Crudo, who entered the game defensively in the eighth inning, tripled down the right field line to score the go-ahead run. Coy singled between the short stop and third base to plate Crudo and Hilker singled to right. Junior Derek Baum laid down a sacrifice bunt in a pinch-hitting role for the first out, but advanced both runners 90 feet. The Broncs intentionally walked Schenk to load the bags, but Preston Budziszew got the final two outs on the hill to stop the Bears scoring at two runs for the 7-5 lead.
Amedee retired the side in order in the 14th for his fifth win of the year. He pitched the final four innings in scoreless fashion.
Game Two Recap
Junior Kevin Willman threw six shutout innings, giving the Willman brothers 12.2 scoreless innings on the weekend. Kevin allowed just three hits, walking one and striking out one after Joe threw 6.2 in the Bears 3-0 game two win on Saturday. Junior Dan Talley followed up with three shutout innings, allowing just one hit with two walks for his first save in a Bears uniform.
For the first time all series, the Bears didn't score in the first inning, though they had Coy at third base with two outs.
In the bottom of the second, Hilker made a great diving catch for a line drive out and then he came up throwing to Coy at first for the double play, catching Vinnie Mejia off first, who led off the inning with a walk.
Hurd made two great catches in right field in the bottom of the third, diving for one and making a long run and over the shoulder grab for the other. Willman threw just six pitches to retire the side in order in the fourth inning.
Willman threw another low pitch inning in the fifth with seven pitches, thanks in part to a diving stop by Crudo, who threw to first from one knee in time for the second out on Iradier Hernandez.
Yamane singled to start things off in the sixth and moved to second on a wild pitch. Coy once again got hit by a pitch, this time in the shoulder and the pair moved up 90 feet on a sacrifice bunt by Hilker. Harrison hit into a fielder's choice where the Broncs threw home to tag out Yamane and the Bears were kept off the scoreboard.
An infield single in the sixth off the bat of Andy Fortuna snapped a streak of 12 straight hitters retired by Willman. Fortuna stole second on a strikeout of Bernal and then stole third but was stranded.
Schenk singled through the right side to begin the seventh and was bunted over to second by Crudo. Taylor Anderson pinch hit and was hit in the hip by a pitch. Lambert, who was pinch hitting for Baum, singled to left and Schenk scored for the first run of the game. Yamane moved both runners up with a bunt back to the pitcher and Coy was hit by a pitch for the third time in the game to load the bases.
The Broncs made a pitching change, bringing in Dylan Badura. Two runs scored on a single to right by Hilker for the 3-0 lead. The Broncs tried a pitch out and Badura threw a wild pitch to move Hilker to second. Harrison was hit in the small of his back to again load the bases and UTPA again went to the bullpen, this time bringing in right-hander Nolan Atkins. Park was also hit by a pitch for an RBI to score Coy. Schenk came to the plate for the second time in the inning, but popped up for the final out and a 4-0 advantage.
Talley came in on the hill for the Bears and allowed one hit but stranded the runner at first in the bottom half of the seventh inning.
Crudo started the eighth with a first-pitch single back up the middle. Ferguson, who came in defensively in the bottom of the seventh, was plunked in the left shoulder for the eighth Bear to get hit in the contest. The Broncs again went to the pen, bringing in Jonathan Delgado. Lambert successfully advanced the runners with a sacrifice bunt back to the pitcher and Yamane was intentionally walked to load the bases and Coy hit into a double play to end the threat.
Talley worked around two walks issued in the eighth to keep the shut out intact in the bottom of the eighth and he retired the side in order for the ninth to get his first save of the year.

It was the last week of July (the week between Corn College in Illinois and Soybean and Corn Colleges in Michigan) and I was heading north to Iowa for a media day. On the other side of the highway, I saw machinery I didn't recognize as it was loaded on the trailer. So I turned to this blog to get an answer. (you can see the original blog post here)
To all of you who sent me an email, thank you! This question was quickly answered, and there were many suggestions of why I didn't recognize the John Deere 7760 module-building cotton picker, which is built in Des Moines, Iowa.

Beautify Even Your Smallest Spaces with Organization
The other day I was at a friend's house looking for a cotton ball. In the linen closet, she shouted. I was about to ask where when I opened the door. The insides of her closet were a Martha Stewart Living photograph waiting to happen — the cotton balls easy to find in one of a set of matching jars. There were orderly stacks of snowy white toilet paper, piles of sheet sets tucked into matching pillowcases, hair accessories in a pretty bowl. Not only was it breathtaking, it was easy to find things and to see at a glance what you might be running low on. Here are some ideas for beautifying your own tiny spaces.
In the medicine cabinet
- Unless you use it frequently (every few days), store it someplace else.
- Use small glasses, jars or tumblers to corral toothbrushes or miscellaneous items like tweezers, cuticle scissors and razors.
- I know you think I'm crazy but I like to arrange our medicine chest in the order in which we use the items in it.
- Magnetic paint inside your medicine cabinet's door can hold items like hair clips and bobby pins.
- Decant shampoos and conditioners into pretty pump dispensers. Label the bottles (using a P-Touch or other label maker) to identify the contents.
Inside drawers and closets
- Tie taper candles, pens or pencils together with a pretty ribbon or fat, brightly colored rubberband.
- Put miscellaneous keys, matches and rubber bands in shallow baskets, small bowls, boxes or organizing trays (I like these bamboo inserts from The Container Store).
- Buy items like Q-Tips, cotton balls, tampons on sale, discard their packaging and store them in pretty and generous sized jars. I like these from IKEA because the lids come off easily or use the jars from a food (like spaghetti sauce) that you use frequently.
- Chalkboard, whiteboard or magnetic boards inside a cabinet that you open frequently can hold to do lists, dry cleaning slips, printed tickets.
Inside clothing closets
- Merchandising, arranging clothing by type and then by color, is a trick used in stores to make the stuff look better. Use it in your own closet to make getting out the door faster. (It may also save you money when you realize that you don't need to buy another pair of black pants because you already own eight pair!)
- Similar hangers make your closet look organized and less chaotic.
- I use these clear drawers from The Container Store to hold my shoes. Shoe boxes stacked neatly are more efficient if you cut one end so that it flips down and lets your shoes slide out. Photos on the outside of the boxes help you remember what's inside.
For every space
- Group like items together
- Remove and recycle ugly packaging.
- If you use boxes, organizing by activity (beach items, over the counter medications, hair products, prescriptions, eye junk, are some of the boxes in our linen cabinet) makes things easier to find later.
- Don't be afraid to decorate the inside of a space the way you might a bookshelf. A piece of art, a small ceramic figurine, a tiny childhood toy can bring a smile to your day when you come across it in an unexpected place.
- Use scraps of wallpaper, the dregs of a can of paint or paint samples that were too bright to use elsewhere inside your closet or drawer. (You can even color code, painting a shelf red, for example, to alert children that this space is off limits.)

Great tips!
Good ideas. I can't preach this enough: clear back-of-the-door shoe holders, cut down to size, can be attached to the inside of cabinet doors to hold tiny things that get lost otherwise.
What great ideas!
Shot glasses are awesome for the bathroom. They fit in the medicine cabinet, hold odd stuff, and are often just about as much water as you need to rinse your mouth out when brushing.
Lovely tips!
And perfect timing for me, because I'm in the process of organizing all of the closets/cabinets/hidden storage in my apartment this week before school starts.
My little tip: I'm all about utilizing wall space inside closets and cabinets with hooks to hang any number of items--brooms, mops, dust pans, hats, belts, even a light-weight vacuum. It frees up floor space.
@neefall, Yes, I love to get as much as possible up off the floor. The stuff stays cleaner and the floor is easier to clean.
Sheet sets tucked into matching pillowcases is an awesome idea!
Wait--tampons in a jar? Isn't that going a little too far?
great ideas.. i am an organization nut... always love a great tip
@Joan - I actually have what I call my "black box" - a black "leather" hinged box from Staples meant for storing CDs on an office desk. I keep pads, tampons, and pantiliners in it. Great when a gal-pal's over and in need!
Also, instead of buying a fancy bottle for lotion, I just peel off the branded label on my lotion bottle. Both can be seen in this pre-Spring Cure pool pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48522199@N03/4444289626/in/pool-1399880@N22
@chrisbean - That makes more sense than a clear glass jar.
Organizing by type and THEN by color is a great idea... since 80% of my clothes are black, dressing in the mornings involve a lot of shuffling through clothes (identifying them by fabric/texture) and then eventually a big pile on the floor that I then put away when I get back home from work.
"Magnetic paint inside your medicine cabinet's door can hold items like hair clips and bobby pins."
No, it can't. Magnetic paint contains metal in it so magnets can stick to it. So unless you have magnetic hair clips and bobby pins, this won't work.
Wish we could see a pic of your friend's linen closet! :)

Reprinted from Aug. 3, 2011
The full rich days of August bring the flowering of fringed gentians, the departure of some summer birds and gangly teenage elk enjoying their first taste of independence. The incredibly beautiful fringed gentians are the dominant wildflower in South Park in August.
Just a week ago, a dear friend of mine took me for an outing to Echo Lake. What a real treat it was for me to get out and see the blooms along the way and to have brunch at the Echo Lake Lodge.
Wildflowers were in bloom along the road, especially the brilliant blue of the blue mist penstemon.
I looked out at the bird feeder yesterday to see what might be there, getting a last meal just before dark. Much to my surprise, there was a colorful male black-headed grosbeak there, enjoying the black sunflower seeds. This is the 15th bird species I have seen from the windows here at Elk Run.
Actually, this was the first black-headed grosbeak I have seen this year. I have them every year at my feeder at home, but I have already left there by the time they returned this year.
A plan to close a 400,000-acre zone of land in the foothills to recreational shooting would help the U.S. Forest Service manage the sport the way it does other recreation on public lands, according to an official.
Heading up the mountain to Echo Lake Park, the temperature begins dropping and the scenery becomes magnificent. Sweeping views of snow-capped mountains come into view as you travel along Highway 103 from Bergen Park to your hiking destination around a natural alpine lake.
On a brief ride around the Evergreen area last week, I was surprised to see so many wildflowers blooming. Many seemed a bit earlier than usual. I believe this is due to the exceptionally warm weather and rain in early June.
Late June had very little rain, but the Fourth of July brought a late-afternoon torrential shower, so it is once more hot and humid. This is not my favorite weather as it leaves me feeling hot, sticky and short of breath.
Everyone in Evergreen has been excited about the two bald eagles that have been hanging out in a dead tree near Evergreen Lake for the past week. I have had several people call me, and others have brought me photographs of the birds. They are apparently two adult bald eagles, easily recognized by their size, dark bodies, white head and tail.
U.S. Forest Service officials are considering closing all public land to recreational shooting in a zone called the "wildland-urban interface."
The 400,000-acre wildfire zone — mostly along Colorado's Front Range and Interstate 70 — is an area where homes and other manmade improvements are close to natural terrain and flammable vegetation, according to information on a Colorado State University website.
Below my window is the roof of two buildings and two large paved parking lots that were scraped flat out of the hillside. Because of our hard rains, these are drained away to prevent puddling.
The Jefferson County Open Space Advisory Committee explored the potential of two properties offered by private landowners during a field trip last Thursday afternoon.
Traveling to a field near Boulder and to Douglas Mountain near Gilpin County, OSAC members and Jeffco Open Space staff walked the properties and learned about the owners' interest in selling them.

1. Overall Winner
Frigidaire Toaster FPTT02D7MS ($60, amazon.com)
This star performer turned out toast in just over two minutes (faster than average). It browned bread evenly and consistently from batch to batch; its digital controls include a progress display and Bagel, Defrost, and Reheat options.
Bing: Frigidaire toaster FPTT02D7MS
2. Fastest
T-Fal Avanté Icon 2 Slice ($50, amazon.com)
Chronically running late? It took only a minute and a half for this speed demon to take two slices to medium. Angled slots make toast a snap to snatch; Reheat and Bagel settings are handy.
Bing: T-Fal Avanté Icon 2 slice toaster
3. Best Value
Oster Designed for Life 2-Slice ($30)
The low price and the five-year warranty make this a hot pick (but at 2½ minutes, toasting took a bit longer than average). Settings: Frozen, 30 Seconds reheat, and Bagel (unlike many, it toasts on both sides).
Bing: Oster Designed for Life 2-slice toaster
How We Tested
On 36 models, we used each setting to gauge how evenly they did light, dark, and everything in between. Next: five successive batches to check for consistency. To see how well they fit and how easy they were to retrieve, we popped up English muffins and bagels. Surface temps were also noted.

Tool Shed's new show is sure to generate buzz

The adult-themed display of needlepoint, cross-stitch and knitting projects kicks off on Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. during Gallery Night and then continues until April 2013.
"The pieces are about sexual freedom and sexual expression," says Tool Shed's education coordinator Lucky Tomaszek.

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (WSAU) - Two teens have been arrested and charged in the failed attempted robbery of a Marshfield store.
Police Chief Gary Jepsen says their department arrested a 13-year-old Marshfield boy and 17-year-old Cordell L Ellingson from Arpin Wednesday. The Chief says the older youth will be charged as an adult. "The 17-year-old, because of his age, was taken into custody as an adult, was shipped down to Wood County jail, but he has since that time been released on bond. The 13-year-old has been referred to human services for charges."
The masked 13-year-old was armed with a pocket knife.
The attempted July 15th robbery made national news, as 96-year-old store owner Margie Wolf from Wolf's Grocery told the 13-year-old he could have Tootsie Rolls, but wasn't getting any of the money. Jepsen says the public awareness and ongoing discussion of the crime made it very hard for the suspects to get away with it.
Both suspects have been interviewed by police, and have confessed to their involvement in the crime.
Ellingson is charged with felony contributing to the delinquency of a minor for encouraging the 13-year-old to commit the armed robbery.

It's a normal morning. I walk out the door of my host family's narrow, three story house - no shower to start my day off, Japanese shower in the evening. My breakfast consisted of tons of bread, a yogurt cup, and some leftover salad from last night's dinner. It's 8am, so I walk amongst the elementary school students with their red and blue backpacks.
I cross the highway, passing the mother with her disabled son who she walks to school everyday. Pass the cake shop. At the entrance to the train station there's a man with a megaphone; he uses big words I can't understand, but I bet I'd agree with whatever he's protesting. My train rumbles below; arriving. I run down the steps and slide into a car - the doors shut behind me.
Two high school girls giggle next to me. They whisper something weird in english. I stand - my stop's only three stations away. Trains passes the amusement park. I leave the train at my stop, and force myself up the tall hill towards school. Pass the candy shop. Finally, I remember to say good morning to the traffic guard who give candy to the female students before arriving at Kansai Gaidai, ready for learnin'.

So much drama.
What a *****!
At least we could finally get to use the shatter xploit
But no.. More fail than win
....I really hope that douche bag doesn't release the sHAtter exploit.... This guy should be shunned from the JB community.
This is insane.
What, is this guy 5yrs old. Stop the bickering, and just do whats best for the community. The important thing is keeping apple from keeping control of our devices.
Hurting the community should have nothing to do with some meaningless fight. Terrible. Thank goodness chronic was there.
i'd be very upset as well. It's been reported that $160,000 of damage was caused from this organized attack.
but it still wouldn't be a good idea of releasing the SHAtter exploit.
Come on people. Really? What I see here is childish. You said something so I'm going to tell mommy on you. If this goof releases shatter it does nothing but help apple patch that exploit that shatter uses. Get your thumb out of your mouth, stop crying cause your just making yourself look bad infront of us JB useres
Drama in jailbreaking? How did this happen? Maybe he should just release his own stuff if he's so P-Od.
the @ symbols in front of everyones handle was stupid. Are we on twitter or a forum?
This guy is stupid. He's only helping apple, but maybe that is what he wants. I agree he is being childish. He can't play with the big boys so he throws a tantrum and breaks the game. Boo hoo.
people's ego's are getting out of hand. this is why the JB community needs to be expanded so that they more people that know how to JB the longer JBing will be available for us all.
Wow this is absurd! This is what happens when the JB scene goes mainstream. Drama, thankfully this was stopped.
hahaha, awesome..
If I was him, I'd send it directly to Steve Jobs.
with so much drama in the LBC, its kinda hard bing snoop D-O double G but i
Sounds like a couple of nine year old boys on testosterone overload!
