SAINT LEO, Fla. – In much the same way as their male counterparts did, the Saint Leo women's tennis team overcame a tough test as they bested visiting St. Thomas (Fla.) 9-0 in opening day action from the Saint Leo Tennis Center on Friday afternoon.
While looking to sweep St. Thomas (0-1), the Lions (1-0) saw both #1 Laura Kemkes and #2 Coralie Pesenti looked to persevere in tightly contested singles matches on their first day of competition. Despite the tough competition, and the adjusted lineup that head coach James Bryce was forced to play as a result of preseason injuries, Kemkes, Pesenti and the entire Lions' lineup managed to keep the perfect tally on the scoreboard.
"This was a good start for the ladies today," Bryce said. "Laura and Coralie both had to dig deep and play solid girls for the first match of the season. I was especially proud of the way Coralie fought for every point down the stretch. Overall we had a solid team performance and look forward to improving tomorrow."
The 'tomorrow' that Bryce speaks of is the Lions' next opponent in Southeastern University, in an 11:00 a.m. match between the teams.

Two Team Blake members in 'Voice' finale; Shelton downplaying his role
Listen to Blake Shelton on iHeartRadio
Blake Shelton has once again coached two hopefuls into the finale on NBC's "The Voice." The top three were revealed on Tuesday night's show, and Team Blake's Danielle Bradbery and the Swon Brothers are among those moving on. But Shelton isn't willing to take any credit for his singers' success.
Danielle and the Swon Brothers will be facing Team Usher's Michelle Chamuel in vying for the title. They'll each work to impress viewers on next Monday's show, and the winner will be named on Tuesday's finale. The final episode will also feature a number of guest performers, including Florida Georgia Line. The duo will team up with Nelly to perform their collaborative hit "Cruise."
But this isn't the first time two members from Team Shelton have made it to the finale on "The Voice." Season three winner Cassadee Pope as well as runner up Terry McCermott were both on Team Blake. In addition, Shelton has yet to see all of his singers eliminated prior to the finale. He coached season two winner Jermaine Paul to victory, while Team Blake's Dia Frampton took second place on the inaugural season of "The Voice."

By Scott North Herald Writer
SEATTLE — A real estate investor who attracted attention in Everett a dozen years ago for promising big things after buying up historic buildings that had gone to seed is facing six years in prison for drug trafficking.
Craig Douglas Dieffenbach, 51,was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle. He was caught running a criminal enterprise camouflaged as a medical-marijuana business.
The case was about targeting drug traffickers, not people who are ill or those interested in their care, U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan said in a press release.
"A green cross in the front window does not grant a license to sell pounds of drugs out the back door," she said.
According to court papers, Dieffenbach was a "silent partner" in Seattle Cannabis Cooperative. The business was among about 20 medical-marijuana dispensary operations raided by state and federal authorities in November 2011.
Dieffenbach's prosecution caught attention because it came as Washington voters were preparing to endorse legalizing recreational marijuana use. Medical marijuana has been legal here since 1998. The state has yet to work out where the pot should come from.
Dieffenbach on Aug. 20 pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to distribute marijuana and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
As part of the plea, he admitted his marijuana dispensaries sold to people who didn't have medical authorization and that the businesses actually were part of a multi-state operation involved in drug trafficking and money laundering.
The federal Drug Enforcement Administration was able to purchase more than eight pounds of pot from the business and also arrange delivery of another 25 pounds, court papers show. Moreover, Dieffenbach and a co-defendant were caught traveling with nearly 35 pounds of marijuana they'd purchased in Oregon.
In his plea, Dieffenbach acknowledged using drug profits to pay for modifications to homes used for pot growing. One of those homes was in north Snohomish County, where a pot-growing operation was uncovered, documents show.
Dieffenbach in his plea also agreed to assist the government in its investigation of others. That's something he did in the 1990s, when he was caught up in a cocaine-trafficking case that sent him to federal prison for four years — a fraction of the sentence he could have faced.
In a letter to the judge this time, Dieffenbach wrote that "I really have no excuse other than I got involved in an industry that I should have stayed away from."
While admitting he broke the law, he also acknowledged "A part of me wants to argue back and say what I had done was, or soon would be legal in societies (sic) eyes, and even the court's eyes one day, but today it is not."
Under federal sentencing guidelines designed to be tough on drug traffickers, Dieffenbach faced a mandatory minimum five years in prison. His attorney asked for leniency and no prison time in recognition of his client's otherwise good behavior and cooperation with the government.
Dieffenbach in 2001 made headlines in Everett after buying up several down-in-the-heels buildings along Hewitt Avenue. He talked about big plans for redevelopment, welcomed the nickname "Hollywood," and didn't shy away from media attention.
That changed after scrutiny brought on by the City of Everett's efforts to develop what became Comcast Arena.
Dieffenbach ceased being welcomed around city hall. Records showed Ed Hansen, then Everett's mayor, personally took charge of negotiations to purchase from Dieffenbach land needed for the arena project. One of the mayor's goals was to limit Dieffenbach's ability to cash in big on property that the investor had snapped up just as the city's arena plans were coming into focus.
In digging into Dieffenbach's past, The Herald uncovered his criminal history, which was detailed in previously sealed federal court records.
In documents filed in this case, Dieffenbach's attorney pointed out that his client hadn't been in criminal trouble for more than 20 years and had even managed to keep information about his prior cocaine conviction a secret, including within his own family.
Dieffenbach in recent years has attracted most attention for messy litigation over a plan to market vodka named after guitar legend Jimi Hendrix.

OMAHA, Nebraska (Reuters) - Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc would be "stark raving mad" to rule out another giant acquisition like its 2009 Burlington Northern takeover, but high prices have now made attractive targets scarce, its vice chairman said on Friday.
In an interview with Reuters on the eve of Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting, Charlie Munger said the company has over the years made many of its most desirable purchases in periods of "great catastrophes," but little appears on the horizon at present.
"With interest rates at zero, the prices being paid for businesses are very high," Berkshire's second-in-command said.
Munger said Berkshire would welcome another purchase on the scale of its $26.5 billion takeover of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp in 2009.
"Everybody would like it," he said. "But just because you like it doesn't mean that the world will necessarily give it to you. You'd be stark raving mad if you were running Berkshire and didn't want another Burlington Northern. But how many Burlington Northerns have we done in 50 years?"
The Federal Reserve's "quantitative easing" policy known as QE3 to juice the fragile U.S. economic recovery has sent yields declining and asset prices rising including housing and commercial real estate markets.
"Sometimes the macro economic tide is working for us - and sometimes against - and we just endure whatever direction it's flowing cheerfully," Munger said. "So we are not people who think know all the answers about predicting macro economic fluctuations."
The views of Munger, 89, usually mirror those of 82-year-old Buffett, who is perhaps the world's best-known and most influential value investor. The pair have worked together for decades in delivering consistently handsome returns for its shareholders. As such, Berkshire carries enormous clout within investor circles when it tips its hand about a specific company or a particular industry.
Munger's comments suggest that investors who have been waiting eagerly for Buffett to use his "elephant gun" again to add another large company to his portfolio may have to wait. The issue is expected to be a hot topic at this weekend's meeting, held every year in Buffett's hometown of Omaha.
The meeting and related events - what Buffett likes to call "Woodstock for Capitalists" - usually draw 35,000 people to the city. The main attraction is always a marathon, five-hour session in which Buffett and Munger field questions from shareholders, journalists and analysts.
Berkshire, which owns more than 80 businesses in such fields as car insurance, chemicals, energy and retail, could use the meeting this weekend to signal the direction it will take in the coming year.
Munger on Friday gave no indication that technology was likely to be a focus.
Despite a recent large investment in International Business Machines Corp, the company has long been underweight in technology companies such as Apple Inc, in which it has no reported stake.
When asked if Berkshire may consider an investment in Apple, especially now that Apple's share price has tumbled in recent months, Munger said: "The whole world admires the achievements of Apple. On the other hand, you could hardly think of another business that is more un-Berkshire-like than Apple."
"We really hate trying to invent whole new, novel technologies, one after another. We wouldn't be as good at it as Apple is. So we're not trying to out-Apple Apple."
Berkshire prefers larger, easy-to-understand businesses with consistent earnings power, good returns on equity and strong management.
The recent $12 billion investment that Berkshire agreed to make in H.J. Heinz Co, part of a $23.2 billion takeover, differs from most of its acquisitions because it will not have much say in how the ketchup maker is run.
Munger, though, said such an arrangement is not unprecedented for Berkshire.
"We did more or less exactly the same thing when we helped the Mars family buy Wrigley," he said, referring to the $23 billion takeover of the chewing gum company, announced in 2008. "So this is not something new for Berkshire. This is the second time we've done something like this - it's just a different partner. I wish we had a third one to do tomorrow."
Buying and investing in solid businesses have helped Berkshire outperform other companies during down periods for the economy, including 2002 and the deep recession in 2008 and 2009, Buffett has said.
Munger said the stimuli provided to the economy after the financial crisis was necessary, but said it is unclear how best to unwind it, including the Federal Reserve's "quantitative easing" policy known as QE3.
He called the bi-partisan response to the Great Recession "intense and extreme and it should have been." He added: "But now, knowing exactly when we should stop and how we get off the back of the tiger, I think everyone is a little confused including the people in charge."
Uncertainty also prevails outside the United States, but Munger said Berkshire takes it in stride.
He pointed to Berkshire's recently completed purchase of all of Israeli metalworking company Iscar, and its investment in shares of South Korean steelmaker Posco.
"Just as Berkshire was going to buy in Israel with Iscar, we are willing to own a little stock in Posco right across from North Korea. We have enough favorable factors going for us. We're willing to endure whatever extra risk there is."

Organic by John Patrick Resort 2012
John Patrick has been flying the flag for eco-fashion for more than ten years with his line Organic by John Patrick, although the starting point of his new collection goes back even a decade further. "I wanted to get into the mind of the girl that grew up in the nineties," said Patrick as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" played on the stereo. "That girl that was observing skate culture." Hints of that nostalgia, which was a popular theme for fall, came through in the slouchy elongated sleeve of a striped Breton shirt, in a baggy blue jean, and in an oversize white button-down. As Patrick put it, that erstwhile skater girl has grown up and is packing deck clothes for a sailing vacation in St.-Tropez or the Great Lakes.
It's interesting that Patrick should zone on Generation X–ers for inspiration, given that they're the first wave of women to come up under the green movement and are now making sustainable choices a part of their everyday lives and, by extension, their wardrobes. Once upon a time, eco-fashion was confined to the parameters of a beige organic-cotton T-shirt, and Patrick has been relentless in exploring the possibilities. That's why you'll find unexpected technical fabrics in the collection, like neoprene (recycled); a hooded black romper was Patrick's adventurous alternative to the LBD. "I'm always asking myself how can I do more," said Patrick, who worked with a local not-for-profit organization to screen-print his T-shirts. "Whether it's transparency, labor conditions, or just the proportions themselves." As it happens, Patrick seems to be forging ahead on all fronts.

Tornados drop pair to Lander on ThursdayMarch 8, 2012
Boykin and Davenport lead Tornados at the plate against Bearcats
Greenwood, S.C. - Emily Boykin and Meredith Davenport led the Tornados at the plate on Thursday afternoon at Doug Spears Field, but Brevard was unable to push across the run to open the offensive floodgates in falling in a doubleheader sweep to Lander, 3-0 and 4-0.
The Tornados fall to 9-11 on the season, while Lander improves to 12-12 overall.
Game One: Lander 3, Brevard 0
Box Score
The Bearcats plates runs in each of the first three innings and held off the Tornados as Lander recorded the victory in the first game of the doubleheader on Thursday afternoon. Kelsey Davis (1-2) picked up the win for the Bearcats, while Kayla Clemens (6-5) took the loss for Brevard.
Brittney Sheriff gave Lander a 1-0 lead in the first inning when she tripled then scored on Taylor Donson's groundout. The Bearcats stretched the margin to 2-0 in the second on Casey Corbitt's RBI double to right centerfield. Donson led off third inning with a home run over the left center wall to make it 3-0.
For Lander, Donson batted 2-for-3, while Meredith Davenport went 2-for-3 for the Tornados.
Game Two: Lander 4, Brevard 3
Box Score
In the second game, Lander plated a run in the first inning of the contest and led the rest of the way, silencing a Brevard comeback attempt in the sixth inning as the Bearcats closed out the sweep over the Tornados, 4-0. Lander's Tyler Riendeau (1-0) collected the win, while Alyssa Miller (3-6) took the loss for the Tornados.
Lander took a 1-0 lead in the first when Melanie Davis' sacrifice fly scored Sheriff. The Bearcats made it 2-0 in the fifth after Sheriff singled, advanced to third on two Brevard errors, then scored on a wild pitch.
Brevard threatened in the sixth frame, loading the bases with zero outs as Brittany Tucker and Emily Boykin hit singles to open the inning and Clemens reached on a fielder's choice to put the Tornados in prime scoring position. However, Brevard was unable to open the floodgates as Lander shut the Tornados down retiring the next three batters to keep the shutout intact.
The Bearcats scored their final two runs in the sixth. Sheriff's RBI double to centerfield plated pinch runner Kelsey Davis to stretch the Bearcat lead to 3-0, then Donson's RBI single drove home Sheriff.
For Lander, Sheriff went 2-for-3 with one double and Melanie Davis batted 2-for-2.
Brevard remains on the road as they open South Atlantic Conference play at Mars Hill College on Saturday, March 10th. First pitch in the doubleheader between the Tornados and the Lions is set for 1 p.m.

Due to an unprofessional approach and failure to follow through with contractual agreements, Marcin Najman has proved unable to match the spirit of MMC Fight Club, and has been removed from the card of MMC Fight Club 1 Revelation.
However, MMC Fight Club is excited, and proud to announce the addition of Mariusz Pudzianowski now stepping in to face Tyberiusz Kowalcczyk on December 16th at London's IndigO2 arena. This high profile appearance brings one of Europe's biggest draws to compete on British soil.
As the World's Strongest Man, Pudzian rose to become an international icon. As the undisputed king of strongman competition, thousands would gather to see The Dominator perform tremendous feats of Strength. Since transitioning to the sport of mixed martial arts in 2009, Mariusz has become one of the world's must-see MMA practitioners, with a unique athletic presence like no other.
Continuing his evolution as a fighter, Mariusz sought international calibre training, and linked up with American Top Team in 2011 to further his skills. Now leaving his homeland of Poland to fight in Britain for the first time, Mariusz is a 7-time veteran of Europe's KSW promotion and holds an MMA record of 5-2-1 with notable wins over MMA superstar Bob Sapp and Korea's Yusuke Kawaguchi.
This breakthrough deal potentially sets future pathways for a titanic confrontation between Pudzianowski and former UFC heavyweight, and title holder of Britain's Strongest Man, Oli Thompson. Having previously called out the Polish juggernaut, Thompson feels a rivalry is years in the making, having been in the shadow of Pudzian throughout his strongman career, Thompson believes the tables have now been turned.
With The Dominator looking to further his current win streak, the only place on earth to witness 300lbs of unmatchable power challenging Europe's elite will be the IndigO2 Arena in London, December 16th.

First down: Dallas at Cincinnati
11 a.m., TV • Ch. 13
The skinny • There was nothing initially all that intriguing about this game. "Teams on the periphery of the playoff race that probably won't even make it into the postseason and if they do certainly won't contend for the Super Bowl?" Oooooohhhh, how exciting. At least, that is, until it was pointed out to me that these respective teams are deceptively "hot." Hot? The Cowboys and the Bengals? Well, maybe, I guess. How's that for a ringing endorsement? I suppose it's true that Cincy has won four straight. And Big D has been successful in three of its last four. Does that make them "hot"? I don't know. I certainly don't think of them the same way Mrs. Four Downs thinks about Daniel Craig with his shirt off in "Skyfall."
The line • Bengals by 3.
The pick • Cowboys. Just to give fans of "America's Team" some false hope before the team inevitably blows it again.
Second down: Miami at San Francisco
2:05 p.m., TV • Ch. 2
The skinny • I gotta say, while I feel bad for Alex Smith, I'm kinda sick of hearing about this whole "controversy." What exactly is controversial about it? Yeah, a lot of coaches say that starters don't lose their jobs due to injuries, which certainly seems to be what happened here. Then again, most of those coaches don't have a young, hand-picked successor they drafted with a second-round pick ready and waiting to take over, either. I'd like to know who didn't see it coming that Jim Harbaugh would throw Colin Kaepernick in for Smith the first time he had a semi-legit reason to do so. Was Smith having a solid, productive season? Yup. Was he reminding anyone of Brady, Brees, Manning, Rodgers, Griffin, Luck? Nope. And so here we are.
The line • 49ers by 10.
The pick • 49ers. After some early success, Ryan Tannehill isn't reminding anyone of those QBs, either.
Third down: New Orleans at N.Y. Giants
2:25 p.m., TV • Ch. 13
The skinny • "Give 'em the benefit of the doubt." That's a popular refrain associated with these teams these days, especially Giants. If we must resort to trite clichés, I suppose I would respond with, "I'm more of a 'what-have-you-done-for-me-lately?' kinda guy." I guess I'm saying I don't put much stock in the whole "they know how to right the ship" argument. Have struggling Giants teams turned it around before? Sure. What's that got to do with this team scoring 16 points against a Redskins secondary that actually improves every time one of its players suffers a season-ending injury? And of course we know Drew Brees has been both prolific and clutch. He's also tied for the league lead this year in picks. Benefit of the doubt? Don't think so.
The line • Giants by 5.
The pick • Giants. Not because "they've been there before." Just because they're better. Imagine that.
Fourth down: Detroit at Green Bay
6:20 p.m., TV • Ch. 5
The skinny • Remember last season's Pro Bowl game? I know, I know … that was a rhetorical question, OK? Of course you don't remember. It was the freaking Pro Bowl. More people watch reruns of "Friends" episodes they've already seen six times. So, a quick synopsis is in order then … Defensive players appear in the game, but do not play any actual defense, resulting in the AFC defeating the NFC 59-41 and Grand Poobah Roger Goodell doing much finger-pointing and tongue-wagging and threatening to cancel future versions of the All-Star game, as if anyone cared. "So, why the unnecessary history lesson?" you ask. "Didja see the teams involved in this one?" I ask in response. I just wonder if El Commish will be as up in arms about the equal lack of defense played in this game.
The line • Packers by 61/2.
The pick • Packers. The only possible way the defenses impact this game is if Ndamukong Suh stomps Aaron Rodgers into 41-59 pieces.
… and 10 to go
Chicago at Minnesota, 11 a.m. • Percy Harvin out? Again? For good? Again? He's usually so durable.
Baltimore at Washington, 11 a.m. • Perhaps a full-strength Ravens defense could slow RG3. But probably not this group.
Kansas City at Cleveland, 11 a.m. • So, I guess Joe Thomas and Peyton Hillis won't be exchanging Christmas cards.
San Diego at Pittsburgh, 11 a.m. • Big Ben returns whilst Norv prepares to leave. It's the circle of life. Or something.
Tennessee at Indianapolis, 11 a.m. • Hey, Titans look at Indy's No. 12 … THAT is what a franchise QB looks like. Sorry, Jake Locker. No offense.
N.Y. Jets at Jacksonville, 11 a.m. • I'll bet Mark Sanchez never thought his fate in New York would come down to a random December game in Jacksonville, but here we are.
Atlanta at Carolina, 11 a.m. • Panthers say they're better than Falcons. Statistics, logic, common sense say otherwise.
Philadelphia at Tampa Bay, 11 a.m. • Only remaining bit of Eagles intrigue is seeing how they function with only two assistant coaches left.
St. Louis at Buffalo, 11 a.m. • Here's a little tip for both teams' GMs: You need a better QB. You're welcome.
Arizona at Seattle, 2:25 p.m. • Cards going back to John Skelton. Well, that should turn everything right around.

MINNEAPOLIS - The Clippers have adopted a big, bad bully mentality to muscle their way toward the top of the Western Conference. | PHOTOS
When Greg Stiemsma and the Minnesota Timberwolves tried to stand their ground, the Clippers got mad, and then they got rolling.
Blake Griffin had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and DeAndre Jordan added 16 points and 12 boards to lift the Clippers to a 96-90 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
Caron Butler had 19 points and Jamal Crawford scored 17 for the Clippers, who were challenged in the second quarter during two run-ins with Stiemsma. Matt Barnes was ejected after the first one and Grant Hill was floored during the second. But the Clippers got physical and handed the Wolves their fifth straight loss.
"We never want to come in and lay down and have that be how we get beat," Griffin said. "We came together after that second little scuffle and really said, `OK, we've got to buckle down and do a better job.' We fought back."
Nikola Pekovic had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who had coach Rick Adelman on the sideline for the first time since Jan. 5. Adelman missed the previous 11 games while his wife sought treatment for seizures.
J.J. Barea and Alexey Shved led an 8-2 burst that tied the game and Andrei Kirilenko's transition layup gave Minnesota an 86-84 lead with four minutes to go.
But the Clippers got a big 3-pointer from Butler and knocked the smaller Wolves to the court for several loose balls. Griffin muscled home a three-point play with 30 seconds to go to close the game out.
"Tonight my number was called," Butler said. "I was ready, my teammate found me in rhythm, and that's what we needed."
Barea had 14 points and Shved 12.
The Clippers entered the game having lost four of their last five and looking a little disjointed without star point guard Chris Paul, who is out with a knee injury.
The Clippers looked a little groggy as they opened an eight-game road trip. They picked up a couple of defensive 3-second violations and a bevy of technical fouls to fall behind by as many 11 points in the second quarter. Barnes got things started in the second quarter when he tried to shove his way through a screen set by Stiemsma, then threw a forearm to Stiemsma's throat.
"He hit me with a couple of dirty picks early on and I told him to watch it, then he laughed and he hit me with another one," Barnes said. "I kind of lost my control, which I apologized to the team for. There's no excuse for that, but luckily it sparked the team."
Officials reviewed the play and gave Barnes a flagrant foul-2, which brings an automatic ejection.
"He kind of ran through me on the first one, so I figured he'd do the same on the second one," Stiemsma said. "I didn't know he was going to take it that far. That's what I'm out there to do, set screens and be physical and some guys just take it over the top."
Moments later, Stiemsma flattened Hill when he went up for a rebound under the basket. Butler and Ronny Turiaf forcefully confronted Stiemsma, drawing technical fouls of their own. J.J. Barea hit both free throws for a 37-28 lead. The outburst did seem to ignite the Clippers, who went on a 37-15 surge over the next 11 minutes to take control.

LWC honored three Kentucky residents with honorary
doctorates. From left: LWC
President William T. Luckey Jr.; honorary doctorate recipient
and former LWC first lady
Margaret McDonald of Campbellsville, Ky.; honorary doctorate
recipient Sgt. Dakota Meyer
of Columbia, honorary doctorate recipient; Urban League Of
County President/CEO P.G. Peeples; and Lindsey Wilson Board
of Trustees Chair
Allan Parnell of Louisville, Ky.
COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Today's college graduates are
entering a world that is undergoing more change than at any time in
human history. But by becoming "the CEO of your life" and "selling
yourself to the world," today's college graduates can navigate the
challenges created by "the new ballpark" of the world economy.
That's what Urban League Of Lexington-Fayette County
President/CEO P.G. Peeples told Lindsey Wilson College's 2011
winter graduates at the college's 94th commencement ceremony, held
Saturday morning in Biggers Sports Center.
At the ceremony, LWC awarded a total of 287 degrees -- 154
undergraduate diplomas and 133 graduate diplomas. It was LWC's
second largest winter class since the college began the ceremony in
December 2004. LWC's largest winter class was 365, which was
graduated in 2010.
Peeples received an honorary doctorate from the college. Also
receiving an honorary doctorate were former LWC first lady Margaret
McDonald of Campbellsville, Ky., and Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota
Meyer of Columbia.
Peeples, who graduated from college more than 40 years ago, said
that while the 1960s may have been a time of great change in the
United States, that decade's social and economic tumult pale in
comparison with the current technological revolution sweeping the
"The changes we loved to protest about and sing about are minute
when you compare them to the changes each of you will be confronted
with during your lifetime," said Peeples, a first-generation
college student from Lynch, Ky.
Peeples noted that Americans who enter college today at the age
of 18 years old are likely to have nine jobs by the time they reach
35, and most college graduates will change careers three times.
That's why it is important for college graduates to be lifelong
learners and constantly acquire new skills.
"We are in a worldwide marketplace that demands that Americans
work more with their minds than their hands," Peeples said.
"Education is at the core of this revolution. It is a new ballpark.
… The new world is very intolerant of mediocrity."
Peeples also noted that "while a college degree is
critical to success, it is not a free pass."
As jobs evolve or are reinvented, college-educated workers
will have to do the same.
"Most of the jobs you will be hired for (right out of college)
will either disappear or change beyond recognition," he said.
In order to succeed in that uncertain environment, it is
critical for today's college graduate to cultivate their talents
and brand themselves, Peeples said.
"You must change your mindset from being an important employee
to CEO of your own life because no big company is going to take
care of you for the rest of your life," he said. "It is going to be
up to you."

More on the Images (below), as well as several new ones; as always, too much, too much. But seriously, how often do you see something like this.
First of all, the Henri Cartier-Bresson exhibit at MoMA is really quite remarkable, and I echo Kottke's rave review (he mentions the image above, which was the first of many that caught my eye).
What he excelled at was seeing things in a different way from most other people.

The retrospective has a personal resonance on several levels: I've become increasingly interested in photography, journalism and photojournalism in the past couple years; his photographs of early and mid-century China are vaguely nostalgic (probably because I recently spent a couple months living in Beijing with my grandparents, who lived through it); and I recognized HCB's portrait of Sartre from a book cover.

Liu Bolin at Eli Klein: an excellent show despite the blue-chippy crowd at the opening. It might be more of the same and it probably has a certain loaded cultural content that can only be appreciated as someone who has recently spent time in China, but I would still say that the pieces in On Fire are visually compelling even without the political subtext.
His works have been communicated via emails, blogs, magazines and journals on a massive scale.
Liu Bolin's earlier Hiding in the City photography series, in which he paints himself into the urban landscape, was inspired by the Chinese government's demolition of the Suo Jiacun Artist Village in Beijing in 2006. He drew attention to great landmarks in China, both old and modern, while highlighting the lack of recognition which was paid to the citizens that built them. He portrayed the tragedy of the increasing insignificance of the individual in China as the government focused on presenting a modern commercial and industrial image. Rather than trying to fight, people attempted to hide and adapt to these forced changes.

The New York Times has an interesting article on the kind of organic art that is currently on display at the Museum of Arts and Design.
Of course, people have always used natural materials to make their art, for the simple reason that until recently nature was all they had, said Ellen Dissanayake, a scholar on the evolution of art [who notes that] from the beginning, art demanded transformation. "Even in hunter-gatherer societies, they tend to make their stuff look not organic," she said. "When they're painting, they'll use geometric shapes, make a row of triangles or circles, as though to show humans are more than nature."
As Ms. Dissanayake sees it, when people make art, or "artify," they follow several "aesthetic principles," whether they know it or not. "They simplify, repeat, exaggerate, elaborate and manipulate expectations," she said.

By Nana Koram
July 29, 2002
out all day on a sandy beach, shopping at the mall or catching up
with old friends - these are just a few of the activities that many
college students engage in during their three months of summer sunshine
and freedom. Yet if you walk into a number of physics labs on campus
this summer, you're likely to see undergraduates huddled in front
of computers, engrossed in complex-looking calculations or fiddling
with electrical components in an attempt to create special circuits.
These ten students are physics majors from universities across the
country who have come to Vanderbilt to participate in the highly
competitive REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program
funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with matching funds
from Vanderbilt.
According to Royal Albridge, the physics professor who directs the
program, the purpose of this summer of research is to encourage
undergraduates, including women and underrepresented minorities,
to develop an interest in scientific research. The program provides
the opportunity for students to become involved in research and
to meet and develop relationships with research professors.
"The program also allows students from smaller institutions with
limited research facilities to have access to the state-of-the-art
equipment in Vanderbilt's research labs," Albridge says.
Heather Barker, a rising senior from King College in Bristol, Tennessee
appreciates the opportunity to use Vanderbilt's advanced research
facilities: "Because my college is so small, we don't have the facilities
to support in-depth research, so this program gave me the chance
to participate in research as an undergraduate".
Barker, a two-time veteran of the program, works with the Living State Physics Group and is researching on the usefulness of a device called the SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) in diagnosing stomach ailments. Barker's research has convinced her to "pursue a graduate degree that entails physics research." She says that her experience these past two summers have yielded several benefits, including "learning about the graduate student environment, meeting the faculty in the department and just living in a new place for the summer."
She is not the only student who is enjoying spending her summer doing in-depth research. Jonathan Jarvis, a senior from Samford University, believes the program to be "an excellent graduate school preparatory experience". Jarvis, who works with Dr. Charles Brau, is currently occupied with building a 50-kilovolt-pulsed-DC power supply as part of a free-electron laser project.
Having previously done some research at Purdue, Jarvis is no alien to the lab. His work in research labs has allowed him to develop a scientist's instinct. "I usually have a pretty good gut feeling that tells me when an investigation is worthwhile and when I'm just chasing rabbits," he says.
Jarvis' summer here at Vanderbilt has convinced him that graduate school must definitely be part of his future plans. Research is what he loves and, like he says, "You've got to do what you love."
Not only does the program benefit the students, but it also benefits the university. "Not only do students have access to Vanderbilt's research facilities and excellent professors, but Vanderbilt also has access to highly motivated and intelligent students from across the country," he points out.
As the director of Vanderbilt
REU physics program since its birth four years ago, Albridge has
seen many talented REU participants apply for graduate school at
Vanderbilt. In fact, two of the program's former students are currently
enrolled as Vanderbilt graduate students. These gifted individuals
bring enthusiasm, creativity and ingenuity to the Vanderbilt graduate
student body, Albridge says.
So don't be surprised if you walk by one of the labs in the Stevenson
Center this summer and catch a glimpse of several young adults diligently
working on a complex-looking experiment rather than hanging out
at the mall with their peers.
Nana Koram is a graduate of the Communication of Science, Engineering
and Technology program.

Night Beds
Spotlight show • Winston Yellen spent the first 11 years of his life in Northern California, then the next seven in Colorado Springs, but has found a home in Nashville. Under the stage name of Night Beds, Yellen is not among the slick, manufactured acts that get molded on an assembly line. He comes from the outlaw singer-songwriter-inspired tradition, with a high lonesome sound that describes not only his world-weary high tenor but also his spare, stripped-down musical accompaniment that accents, rather than overwhelms, his intimate songs. In a phone interview, Yellen said he initially went to a small college in Georgia on a soccer scholarship before hearing the siren song coming from Nashville and transferring to Music City's Belmont University. The move was right: Last week, he debuted on Jimmy Fallon's late-night show, and he is about to embark on his second European tour. "The audiences were very polite," Tellen said of Europe. "I'm more used to playing liquor stores."

Coheed and Cambria
Spotlight show • It's safe to say that the songs of most progressive hard-rock bands inspire Hollywood big-shot Mark Wahlberg to consider making a movie based on the lyrics. But that's not the case with Coheed & Cambria, the New York-based band led by Claudio Sanchez (not to be confused with the NPR correspondent). Each of the band's seven albums is a concept album following the sci-fi storyline based in The Amory Wars. In July, at Comic-Con, came word that Wahlberg and his production company Leverage (responsible for "Boardwalk Empire" and "Entourage") would bring Sanchez's story to the big screen. The Amory Wars, Sanchez said in a phone interview, was developed as way for him to express himself while hiding behind fictional characters. "They're all about me, but I'm stretching the truth so it's fiction," he said. "It was a way for me to deal with [being a frontman] and hide behind a façade. It allows me that distance, though I'll always be insecure." Special guests are Between the Buried and Me, and Russian Circles.

Kris Allen
Spotlight show • The new year began badly for "American Idol" winner Kris Allen. He was in a car wreck Jan. 1 and had surgery on his wrist several days later, complicating matters since he was to begin a new tour shortly after. But canceling was not an option, the 27-year-old Arkansas native said in a phone interview. He said he told fans he would tour, and he would do so. "I'm a man of my word," he said. So while his guitar-playing skills will be limited, he joked that his band's other guitar player gave him a baby xylophone to compensate. Touring behind his second album, "Thank You, Camellia," Allen talked about one of his most recent trips to Utah. The same night he was an opening act at Red Butte Garden in 2010, a fellow named Paul McCartney was headlining Rio Tinto Stadium in nearby Sandy. So, as soon as he finished his opening set, he and his band rushed over to Sandy to see Macca hit the stage. "It was amazing," he said. "I grew up a Beatles fan." Didn't we all?

Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj exit 'American Idol'
Listen to Mariah Carey on iHeartRadio | Listen to Nicki Minaj on iHeartRadio
"American Idol" judges -- and rivals -- Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are leaving the show. Both artists separately announced plans to exit the Fox talent competition Thursday, after just one season.
Carey and Minaj's run on "Idol" was marked by their very public feud, which came to light during "Idol's" audition process last year. The two continued to joust each other throughout the season while judging contestants.
Their departures follow earlier reports hinting of "Idol's" plans to install new judges for the show's 13th season, though the fate of country singer Keith Urban, who also joined the panel last season, is still unknown. Original "Idol" judge Randy Jackson announced he was leaving the show on its 12th season finale a few weeks ago.

Hi guys,
It's gonna sound a bit strange what I am going to ask here but I thought I might give it a try.
I live in SE London(New Cross Gate Area) and for couple of months I used to train MMA with Coach Mickey Papas from Team Titan at Plumstead Leisure Centre..wicked class!Unfortunately Mick had an accident and had to close the class on Saturday...he still teaches in North London though.
I myself teach Filipino Martial Arts(Dog Brothers) on Monday in the same place.
The facilities are great...well it is a Leisure Centre.Another thing is that Plumstead Leisure Centre is run by GLL ltd,the company I work for as fitness instructor.
Unforunately SE London is lacking BIG TIME BJJ Classes as I looked around and couldn't find nothing and I am sure there is a huge market for it.So basically I am trying to find a BJJ instructor who might be interested in starting a class here at Plumstead Leisure Centre.At the moment the slot I am aware of being available is the saturday one from around 11am(to replace the MMA class)
In terms of training facility: one badminton court with judo mats,changing rooms,showers..etc..and another VERY good thing-FREE CAR PARK-HOOOREY!!!And also Greenwich is pretty close.
To rent out the place is CHEAP but for these details please send me a PM so we can discuss.
I myself I am very interested in training as ground work is definitely something I am lacking and there are loads like myself around.
So if you are BJJ Instructor looking to expand your network and interested in this opportunity please pm and I'll give you more details.
All the best,

A Gun and a GuitarBy Rebecca Bengal
Jerry McGill: Sun Records artist, Memphis fixture, and "crazy sonofabitch."
Jerry McGill by the numbers, hazy as they may be: He cut one 45 for Sun Records (the rockabilly "Lovestruck," with a backing band that included Charlie Rich). Years later, in the backseat of a limousine in Memphis, he cowrote one more song with Waylon Jennings. Shot at least three bullet holes into the ceiling of the Sam Phillips Recording Studio, where they still remain. Racked up nearly a hundred arrests. Assumed six aliases. Disappeared for twenty-five years—and ultimately reemerged, at the behest of filmmaker Paul Duane, to collaborate on Very Extremely Dangerous, a documentary about the tornadic trajectory of his life. In January, Dangerous was shown at Brooklyn's Wythe Hotel, accompanied by a reading from Memphis writer-producer Robert Gordon, whose films will screen this month.
Flash back forty years, to the dimly lit bars, back rooms, and late Delta nights traversed by William Eggleston with his Sony Porta Pak, an early video camera. "It was back when everyone liked quaaludes. 'Let's get down,' " narrates Eggleston in his cinema verité of that era, 1974's Stranded in Canton. His voice trails off into the sound of a shot fired and then Jerry McGill's face jumps into the frame, wild and practically translucent. McGill has the looks of Mick Jagger, the constitution of Keith Richards, and the heart, it would seem, of a snake. His eyes masked in sunglasses, he grins in the dark, lunges, thrusts the barrel of his gun to the head of another man, and holds it there.
That scene still haunts. Rachel Kushner, in a portfolio of her visual inspiration for The Flamethrowers published in the Winter 2012 issue of The Paris Review, included a still of McGill from the film. The same screen capture accompanied McGill's death notice in the Memphis Commercial Appeal last spring. It was seeing that gunplay scene and reading about McGill's exploits in Gordon's It Came from Memphis that inspired Duane to seek out the elusive, felonious musician.
In the midseventies demimonde of Memphis, things had a way of becoming totally and suddenly unhinged, and McGill was frequently the author of their unhinging. As Waylon's vagabond and oft-arrested rhythm guitarist—prone to performing in disguise when the alias he then toured under, Curtis Buck, did not offer sufficient protection—McGill arguably out-outlawed the Country Outlaw himself. "Curtis Buck was a crazy sonofabitch and he ran around with me," Jennings writes in Waylon: An Autobiography. "While I was singing, he'd go find the girls, and if we needed drugs, he'd go find the dope." When Duane and Gordon teamed up to document McGill, it was a devil's handshake deal: knowingly, if not entirely willingly, they submitted to the volatile ways of their subject. True, McGill had just been diagnosed with cancer and professed a desire to revitalize his music career. But altering his violent ways was not part of the program. Read More

Good tutorial. I was going to research for all this, so you saved me some time. I will try it and hopefully things will work. Thanks.
Balding_Parrot and pure_hate have each written excellent tutorials on installing BT2 as a live install to an SD card or USB flash stick with "save changes" feature, the same procedures also work for BT3. After following one of them, I then booted BT3 from the liveCD, mounted the flash device, browsed to /boot/syslinux on the device, and edited sylinux.cfg
I realized there was a problem with compiz on the original 7" Eeepc; it runs fine but some config windows are too large for the screen so one has to click alt + doubleclick and drag to view the OK buttons etc, but this doesn't work well with compiz. My first edit of syslinux.cfg was to make a boot menu item which I named Eeepc, it uses the live install and saves changes, but doesn't use compiz
LABEL eeepc
MENU LABEL Eeepc save changes
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND changes=/dev/sda3 vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw chexpand=255
Second, I made an entry for other machines to use compiz and to also save/use changes made from other machines
LABEL compiz
MENU LABEL BT3 with Compiz and persistent changes
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw chexpand=255 load=cubez autoexec=xconf;cubez;startx changes=/dev/sda3
Note: changes=/dev/sda3 will have to be the correct path to your Changes partition, you may need to edit this. Also, be sure to create a folder titled changes inside the Changes partition if it's not already there
Finally, I kept all the default menu items beneath these two, booted into the flash, and began to enjoy BT3
Good tutorial. I was going to research for all this, so you saved me some time. I will try it and hopefully things will work. Thanks.
Again thanks for the tutorial Ziplock.
I have changed my eeepc to reflect the same thing, and it works really nice.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Click on the start menu(what is it really called?) then system, then click on the compiz fusion icon. That will put the settings icon in your panel on the bottom of the screen. Right click that and hit settings manager. In there hit window management, then click on move window. Where it says constrain y click off the check box. Close out of the settings manager and you'll be able to move windows up off the screen.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Thanks For You're work
i love how im the first little turd with problems... when i boot off of the usb i have to boot from VESA KDE with acpi=off and noapic... in the middle of the boot backtrack tells me to hit ctrl-alt-delete to reboot...
i did edit the file with wordpad... i think my problem is how you say "must be a single line"
LABEL eeepc
MENU LABEL Eeepc save changes
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND changes=/dev/sdb3 vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=
6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw chexpand=255
this is how mine looks and i dont know how to edit it to look like it is supposed to
I even tryed to just add changes=/dev/sdb3 to the VESA menu, it still dont look right...
I join you in sympathy..lolol
I had the same problems it stoped and asked me to reboot...
I was wondering that this config, that is presente in syslinux.cfg would work, but Nope, it didn't...
LABEL pchanges
MENU LABEL BT3 Graphics mode with Persistent Changes
KERNEL /boot/vmlinuz
APPEND vga=0x317 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz ramdisk_size=6666 root=/dev/ram0 rw changes=/changes/slaxsave.dat autoexec=xconf;kdm
After reboot my changes were gone, I changed the keybord config and after a reboot it was back in US... Didn't even bother to change wireless config...
I was trying to make a usb flash drive install of bt3final. I did everything in the tutorial but when i got to the syslinux.cfg part to edit that the file is empty. Has anyone had any problems with this. I used winrar to open the iso and had it extract to my thumbdrive. Ive tried looking at the .cfg file in windows wordpad as explained and also in linux command prompt using nano syslinux.cfg. Both ways shows an empty file. anyone else have this problem. Ive redownloaded the bt3file again and the same thing keeps happening, empty .cfg file.
You shoud be using the USB/DVD version of BT3 for this procedure, it sounds like you're using the CD version.

|How Arkansas and Georgia Met in the 1969 Sugar BowlNorth Carolina lost a heartbreaker to Georgia in the 1947 Sugar Bowl. It's doubtful, though, that the game mean any more to the participants than to 14-year old Vince Dooley from Mobile, Ala. A neighborhood friend and his father asked him to accompany them to the game. Young Dooley received his allowance, one dollar, from his father and was permitted to go. "I thought I could buy a ticket," Dooley recalled. "But when we got there, all I could see was people holding tickets up and offering two for $100. It was harder to get in then than now."
The boy sat on a curb outside the stadium and listened to the crowd cheer the exploits of Charley Trippi and Charley Justice for a heartbreaking half. Eventually he made his way downtown and into a bar. "No one questioned my age," said Dooley. "In fact, I don't think anyone even noticed me. Everyone was involved with the game ... I recall a TV in the place, but I know that was before television so I guess it was a radio everyone was huddled around."
"That was my first Sugar Bowl, but I remember while I was sitting outside the stadium a policeman asked me what was the matter. I told him, 'I didn't get in. But someday I will!'"
Twenty-two years later, Vince Dooley did return, as head coach of Georgia's unbeaten Bulldogs. It took some doing to get Georgia in the 1969 Sugar. Early indications were that the Orange Bowl gambled and packaged a Penn State-Kansas game, which was a fine pairing. After the Jayhawks lost to Oklahoma though, it lost some of its appeal. On the surface, Georgia was still the pick of both the Orange and the Sugar. The Bulldogs, leaders in total offense and defense for the SEC, were atop the standings with an undefeated but twice-tied record.
The Sugar Bowl was not an object of Georgia affection. Bulldog officials felt Georgia, not LSU, should have been asked to the 1968 game. But while the Orange Bowl said it wanted to await the outcome of the Georgia-Auburn game, the Sugar Bowl offered Georgia a no-strings attached invitation which was accepted.
Missouri was the first choice for the visitor's berth, but a loss to Oklahoma forced the Sugar to look at the Southwest Conference. Texas and Arkansas were tied for the conference lead. An expected Longhorn victory over Texas A&M and a Razorback win over Texas Tech would put Texas in the Cotton Bowl and send Arkansas to New Orleans. The reverse would put Texas in the Crescent City. However, it worked out as planned.
The eighth-ranked Hogs had given up a very noticeable 187 points during their 9-1 season. Dooley immediately explained Arkansas' success, "Overall, I believe the Arkansas defense recovered 22 fumbles and make 20-odd interceptions. To put it simply, they did an exceptionally good job of getting the football for their offense."
Coach Frank Broyles relished the role his seven-point underdog Hogs took against the fourth-ranked Bulldogs. "You know, it's not cricket for an underdog to talk about the favorite," he grinned. "They are favored, and a year older and stronger across the board." Broyles 80-year old mother was going to be at the game, and even she knew not to believe everything a coach says before a game. "She hasn't missed one of our bowl games," laughed Broyles. "I remember in 1945, when we (Georgia Tech) played Tulsa in the Orange Bowl, my father couldn't make the game so mother put an ad in the paper saying, "I'm Frank Broyles mother. I need a ride to the Orange Bowl." Needless to say, she got it.
Georgia's SEC-leading statistics in total offense (391.7 yards), total defense (235 yards), scoring offense (28.2 points), and nation-leading scoring defense (9.8 points) brought reminiscences from Broyles. "I'd like to thank the Sugar Bowl for being so nice to us," said Broyles. "This is our third trip here. Our first two opponents were Southeastern Conference champions (Alabama in 1962, Ole Miss in 1963) and both led the nation in scoring defense. This year, we're playing Georgia, another SEC champion, and they had the best defensive average this year. Why pick on us?"
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Twinsburg man guilty of wife's murder
(Akron) — A Twinsburg man has been convicted of stabbing his wife to death in front of their two children.
The couple's 10-year-old daughter called police as it was happening, saying "my dad is murdering my mom."

The 51-year-old Wong faces a mandatory life sentence.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports that both of the couple's children testified briefly by closed-circuit television.

Can Chris Christie Avoid the Giuliani Jinx?
You know things are messed up for the GOP when Gov. Chris Christie is the only Republican who leads Hillary Clinton in Georgia! (PDF)
Christie is at the top of the 2016 Republican presidential scrum and, for the moment, he even leads Sen. Rand Paul in Live Free or Die New Hampshire (PDF). The governor of reliably Blue New Jersey and possessor of an outsize personality, he commands attention.
Yet, none of this guarantees Christie the nomination. Electability is not the same as nominatability. He just needs to ask another Northeast Catholic executive who was also once deemed electable: former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Conceivably, Giuliani might have beaten Barack Obama; but he didn't get past the primaries. Not. Even. Close.
In 2007, with the 9/11 attacks still fresh in voters' minds, Giuliani was considered the candidate to beat. But his personal became the political and, ultimately, he met with outright rejection. He never won a single nominating contest; heck, he barely entered them.
Giuliani bet everything on the Florida primary, the eighth Republican nominating contest of the season. He lost, and before January 2008 was over, Giuliani was history.
Bad experiences, however, can mean lessons learned, and Christie's operation is populated by former Giuliani aides. Mike DuHaime, who managed Giuliani's run, is Christie's chief political strategist. Bill Stepien is Christie's deputy chief of staff, having done a stint as Giuliani's field director and managing Christie's victorious 2009 campaign.
Still, the same fate may await Christie because politics isn't just about policy—it is also about persona. Undoubtedly, Giuliani's social moderation put him at odds with a conservative Republican Party. However, Rudy's unvarnished outer-borough inquisitorial mien and devil-may-care social life also made him an ill fit for the GOP, a party whose center of cultural gravity lies within the Bible Belt and America's sunnier suburbs.

Jack White Throwing Out First Pitch At Detroit Tigers Game
Listen to Jack White Radio on iHeartRadio
Jack White will be taking the mound at his hometown baseball park this week. The rocker has been tapped to throw out the first pitch at Tuesday's Detroit Tigers game, and he's planning to bring some music with him too.
White's Third Man Records says the Rolling Record Store truck will be parked outside Comerica Park before the game against the Chicago White Sox. But White isn't just in Detroit for the baseball. He's also scheduled to put on a pair of concerts, including Wednesday night's gig at the historic Masonic Temple Theatre.
Meanwhile, one of Jack's fellow rock stars was enjoying a little baseball last week. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder threw out the first pitch at the Chicago Cubs game on Thursday, and then led Wrigley Field in a rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the seventh inning stretch.
