The gingery masala simmers with yogurt or buttermilk, filling the air with the most sumptuous and exotic aroma. This curry sauce can be served as is over rice, or as a nurturing and invigorating soup. The pakora "dumplings" are made from a spicy besan batter, deep-fried by the spoonful, and then added to the sauce. Freshly grated nutmeg gives just the right flavor accent. If you are pinched for time or want something a little simpler, omit the pakoras. Serve this dish with Lemon Rice or plain steamed long-grain rice.
The recipe below calls for many spices. If you find this a bit intimidating, or you do not have all the ingredients on hand, you can very safely eliminate any of the spices and still have a good result. You must at least include the onions, ginger, and turmeric.
1 1/2 quarts buttermilk or plain yogurt
1/2 cup besan (fine garbanzo flour available in Indian and Mid-eastern markets)
1 cup water
1/2 cup ghee or olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped or thinly sliced
1/2 cup finely chopped, peeled gingerroot
2 tsp. poppy seeds
1/2 tsp. cayenne
1 Tbsp. turmeric
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cumin seeds
2 ripe, firm tomatoes, blanched, peeled and chopped in 1/2" dice
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (or nutmeg powder)
2-3 bay leaves
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbsp. garam masala
In a small mixing bowl, combine the besan with just enough yogurt/buttermilk to make a smooth paste. Add remaining yogurt and water, mixing well. Set aside.
Prepare the Pakora Batter (see below).
Heat ghee or olive oil in a large heavy fry pan or sauce pot over medium-high flame. Add chopped onions, ginger and a dash of salt, and sauté until onions are beginning to brown. Add poppy seeds, cayenne, turmeric, salt and cumin seeds. Sizzle for a minute or two, stirring constantly. Now add the chopped tomatoes. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes are soft and saucy. Add the remaining ingredients and a little water as needed to prevent scorching. Stir and simmer for about 8 minutes. The key to a really great masala is to cook it long enough. This takes patience!
On a separate burner, heat a wok or heavy frying pan with 2 cups of vegetable oil for frying the pakoras.
Add the yogurt-besan mixture and mix well. Keep the heat medium-high until the mixture is heated through and starts to bubble. Then lower heat and simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
While the curry sauce is simmering, cook the pakoras. Add the cooked pakoras to the curry sauce during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.
1 1/2 cups besan
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
2 tsp. cumin seeds
1/2 tsp. cayenne (more to taste)
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup water (approximate)
1/4 cup grated or finely chopped, peeled gingerroot
2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Indeed. I for one would like to see corrections more focused on rehabilitation and less on retribution. But, as the article pointed out, "Being tough on crime is an easy position to take." It just seems like too many people have the view of "once a criminal, always a criminal"--and so ever more money goes to building and staffing bigger jails.
But what is the root cause/causes of this lack of respect for oneself, human life, etc? A kid who mouths off to his teacher is just a mild symptom of a larger problem that "discipline" does not seem to be correcting. Why is this phenomenon specific to America? We can't say it's a lack of religion when Western Europe is much more secular than the US. So what is it?

I don't know about the US, but based on how cozy prisons are up here, it doesn't surprise me so many people are there. There was a Toronto activist a couple years ago who openly encouraged the homeless and those on welfare with no family to take care of to commit a crime that would get them a prison sentence and one they could not possible pay the bail. You'd live a much better life there where you get all your meals and medication, you get TV, you get reading material, you can pursue education, you can weight-train, etc. Prison is not viewed as such an awful place to go to by those most at risk to end up there.
There is a down side to all that........and it's called "prison survival". Most of those people may not survive in prison.......well an American Prison.They might be dead in a matter of days.JNORM888
LOL! Thinking about the weekend already, eh?
I'm just thinking that Friday classes are immoral. As for prisons, the US incarceration rate is up there with China, Russia and Belarus... the executions are up there with China, Pakistan and Iran - obviously something to be proud of.

I'm more trusting of fellas when they have my cock in their mouth
Isn't Coleman due back next Month?
i said this in the Bournemath game thread, but it amuses me (and other GENUINE Yannick fans) how many lads on here, not talking about Mikey here, who suddendly are heralding the return of Yannick like a returning God! Before his injury the VAST majority of comment on here was negative, he was getting flak for all sorts, from poor delivery, waste of money, to one lad blaming him for James Comey re-opening Hillarys email fileSimilarly pre Seamus injury you had lads here saying he wasn't half the player he used to be, saying we needed to start Holgate/Garbutt/Kenny etc etcMuch like if Morgan/Gylfi or Sandro were to get injured tomorrow and were coming back in 6 months time everyone would say we missed them terribly and it was great for them to be back, where as right now, the same lads are as popular around these parts as a dose of the clap!

Manufactured Homes Valuation & Taxes
Number of Homes, Taxable Value, Taxes Levied &
Delinquencies, Calendar Year 1995
Ohio Revised Code Section 4503.06 establishes a tax on
manufactured homes (house trailers) that is computed and
assessed by the county auditor where the manufactured home is
located, and is paid to and collected by the treasurer of the
same county.
Ohio's 88 counties levied a total of $27.3 million in taxes
on manufactured homes for calendar year 1995. They also
reported a total of $13.0 million in prior delinquencies, for
a total amount due of $40.3 million. The number of
manufactured homes by county ranged from 578 in Preble County
to 6,679 in Clermont County with an average of 2,379 per
county. Taxable value by county ranged from $990,687 in
Preble County to $17,619,787 in Portage County. Total 1995
taxes levied (including prior year's delinquencies) ranged
from $69,957 in Wyandot County to $1,940,242 in Portage
The assessed value of the manufactured home is equal to 40
percent of the depreciated value of either: (1) the
manufactured home's cost to the owner; or (2) the market
value at the time of purchase, whichever is greater. Whether
the home was purchased with or without furnishings determines
which depreciation schedule is used. Manufactured homes used
in a business other than for lease or rental as a residence
are taxed as tangible personal property. Manufactured homes
that are leased or rented and used as a residence are not
taxed as personal property but are subject to the tax on
manufactured homes.
The tax rate is equal to the real property tax rate for the
prior year for the subdivision where the manufactured home is
located, with a minimum tax amount of $36. The tax is
prorated for manufactured homes that come into the state
after January 1. The revenue from this tax is distributed
among the taxing subdivisions of the county in which the
taxes are collected and paid in the same ratio as real estate
and public utility taxes are distributed for the benefit of
the taxing subdivision.
Table MH-1 shows the taxes levied by each county along with
the number of manufactured homes and their taxable value. The
data presented in the table were compiled from a survey of
county auditors conducted by the Ohio Department of Taxation.

Navy's Battle Plan: Don't Let Them Get Your Goat
On Eve of Big Game, Army Kid-Nappers Are Already Leading 2-0
AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION IN MARYLAND—Before bringing a reporter here this past week, two Navy officers met him in a suburban parking lot and applied a blindfold. They then drove down some bumpy roads, taking many turns.
The reporter was allowed to take off the blindfold only when he reached a secret destination, where he saw two safeguarded possessions of the U.S. Naval Academy: Bill XXXIII and Bill XXXIV, a pair of Angora goats.
The animals are the mascots of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. The institution said this safe house is somewhere off campus in Maryland, but won't reveal any more.
"I'm not allowed to give out that information, sir," said Matt Kelley, an academy student, or midshipman, in charge of protecting the curly-haired mascots.
The measures are understandable. The Navy animals have already gone missing twice in the past two weeks, in the run-up to Saturday's Army-Navy football game, the 113th meeting of one of college football's oldest rivalries.
So who's been getting the Navy's goats?
This week, the creatures turned up on Army territory—some 250 miles from home, at Morgan Farm, a stable near the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. Before that, one of the goats—even their minders can't tell them apart—was discovered outside Washington, D.C. It was tied to a post near the Pentagon.
The Army denies any involvement in the kid-nappings, but acknowledges that the Navy mascots had been around the West Point campus.
"The practice of stealing academy mascots is absolutely not condoned at the U.S. Military Academy," a West Point spokesman said in an email statement. "However, our understanding is that Billy XXXIII and XXXIV visited West Point this week. While in town, they had dinner and were offered luxurious accommodations."
More on Army-Navy
Pranks have long been a tradition ahead of rivalry football games, but no two schools butt heads more seriously than America's service academies. During the week before the Army-Navy game, jokes run from the tame (stealing uniforms) to the elaborate (dropping thousands of ping-pong balls from a helicopter onto Army cadets lined up in formation).
Timeless is the tradition of stealing Navy goats, chosen as a mascot as a nod to history. More than 200 years ago, livestock were kept aboard ships for food, milk and company. All of the Navy's mascots have been named Bill, starting with the inaugural one in 1893. They get trotted out onto the field before the game and at halftime. Their horns are done up with blue-and-gold tape; blankets that bear the Navy logo cover their bodies.
Army cadets have stolen Bill since 1953, when they reportedly made off in a convertible with their bleating captive. The goats spend most of the year in an unlocked farm off campus.
Army, by contrast, is more careful with its mascots. Only once has Navy stolen Army's mules, which are kept on the guarded West Point grounds. In 1991, Navy midshipmen disguised as Army cadets sneaked onto Morgan Farms, bound the veterinarian staff to chairs and goaded the four mascots into a trailer. It prompted an interstate search. Ranger III and Stryker, the current mascots, have thus far been safe. "I'm sure mules are hard to steal," said the West Point spokesman.
"Back in the 90s, things got a little intense with the stealing of the mascots, but after people started realizing that government tax dollars were being used to pull pranks, they stopped that," says Midshipman Kelley, treasurer of Team Bill, a group of 13 student volunteers who tend and protect the Navy mascots.
A Navy spokesman said Army and Navy had called for a truce in the 1990s on mascot kidnapping, but the Naval Academy this week said it could not find a copy of the memorandum of understanding.
The first mascot kidnapping this year happened the day after Thanksgiving. John Jordan, who works at Maryland Sunrise Farm, a federally-owned but privately-operated estate where the Navy mascots reside most of the year, noticed a goat was gone.
Team Bill figured that a goat described in news accounts as lingering outside the Pentagon was theirs.
So Mr. Jordan and a midshipman went to retrieve the animal. Unclear, Mr. Jordan said, is whether the missing mascot was Bill XXXIII or Bill XXXIV.
Mr. Jordan said he then installed a locked, indoor pen for protection. But that didn't deter thieves last Sunday from cutting through the lock and stealing both goats. The burglars left behind two clues: a patch of the Military Academy's F4 Frogs company, and a computer-printed note that read: "Your goat is safe. The navy football team wont [sic] be. GO ARMY!!! BEAT NAVY!!!"
Mr. Jordan said he called the on-duty officer at West Point to complain, and the Army promised to return the goats. On Monday, Midshipman Kelley met two enlisted Army personnel at Mr. Jordan's farm for the exchange. Then he whisked them off to their safe house.
"I wasn't shocked," by the thefts, Midshipman Kelley said. "I was just disappointed that we had to move the goats" to a more secure location.
The Naval Academy initially declined to show a reporter the goats, offering a video chat with them instead. It finally relented on the condition that the reporter be blindfolded en route, and that he not take any pictures or video during the five-minute visit.
At their temporary home, the two goats appeared unharmed as they stood outside, in a wooded area.
Barring any more West Point surprises, Midshipman Kelley said the goats would be on the sidelines at Saturday's game in Philadelphia, cheering on the heavily favored Navy team, which is 7-4 this year.
Midshipman Kelley has his own theory on who took the goats. "I'm sure it was the football team from Army because they probably don't spend a lot of time practicing, as evidenced by their 2-9 record."

For those brought up in the era before on-demand TV and before even Channel 4 flickered into life, programmes such as Tomorrow's World offered an intriguing glimpse of an otherwise-unseen future packed full of useful technology and innovation.
The enthusiasm of presenters, including the great Raymond Baxter and Maggie Philbin, was often overshadowed by bearded inventors who looked as though they'd been held hostage in some dark rooms for a very long time but the programme had a charm and truly foresaw many everyday items that we now take for granted. Where would we be without ATMs, home computers, digital cameras, compact discs (they in turn superseded by new technologies), global positioning systems (GPS) and even the Channel Tunnel.
Of course, for every idea that came to fruition, many didn't see the light of day or are still being talked about and developed. We've come up with our own list of innovations that we'd like to see entering the world of the mass consumer in the years to come and some that may prove perhaps more controversial.
The flying car
Often seen as the way forward to solve the problems of increasingly clogged-up city roads, the idea of the flying car is something that refuses to disappear in spite of the impracticalities and inherent dangers of letting people loose in the skies. Harrison Ford (Blade Runner) and Bruce Willis (The Fifth Element) both offered glimpses of city life with such vehicles. Hmm, perhaps a good reason to keep our feet on the ground, after all. For those keen to get higher than the rest of us, here's one of the latest prototypes - the Terrafugia Transition flying car on display at the New York International Auto Show last month.
Traffic management systems
Failing the successful introduction of flying cars, traffic systems in cities clearly need a new solution for reasons of both environment and congestion. Already vehicle-sharing companies are gaining in popularity, networks incorporating cars with bikes are familiar in many European cities with London seeing a huge rise in two-wheeled transport thanks to the introduction of 'Boris Bikes'. Eco-friendly car and buses also populate the streets but the ability to keep traffic moving is still an issue and the creation of am active traffic management system that is 'aware' of changing situations and can act on them to keep traffic flowing is still some way off.
Personal robots
Long a staple of science fiction and comedy - Woody Allen's Sleepers a case in point - the idea of a personal servant that doesn't moan, doesn't need paying and will satisfy every whim is something that has never disappeared. In fact, things have got better with age as the Asimo robots demonstrate. Still a long way off mass production, these incredibly advanced automatons are almost childlike in their interactions. The latest models can now run faster, balance on uneven surfaces, hop on one foot, pour a drink and even almost "think" on their own. One for every home? Quite possibly, but let's hope they're not just making the daily cuppa.
Cure for cancer
Ok, so this is the 'Big One' and not your usual tech innovation, but along with HIV and other stubborn diseases or viruses, it's a disease that is still killing millions. Leading scientists and medics have often predicted time scales for cures, but to eradicate these illnesses in the same way that smallpox is now a distant memory is taking longer in spite of many 'advances' and innovations.
Forever young
One widely-held belief that people who enjoy going under the knife in the search for eternal youth is that they aren't fooling anybody, except perhaps themselves. But, that doesn't mean the quest to defeat ageing is some sort of false idolatry; the long-established and successful cosmetics industry is a clear sign of what people want. But aside from looking good, science is helping to combat the effects of ageing with developments such as artificial limbs with tactile sensations, retinal implants to help restore vision and a 'spinning heart' with no pulse or blood clots. How soon before parts can be mail ordered?
Anyone who's watched Star Trek ("Beam me up, Scotty") or Harry Potter (port keys) will have hoped that one day they will be to transport themselves from one place to materialise in another. Complete science fiction/wizardry or is there real potential? We think this is the longest shot in our list, but really want to believe it will happen.
Personalised medicos
The idea of self-treatment for medical purposes is nothing new but doctors are always on the lookout for innovations that can make their jobs easier and improve the health and welfare of their patients without the need for time-consuming trips to their GP or hospital. Miniature medical equipment is one such advance and it may not be long before we see tiny implants that can test, diagnose and even alert medics to potential illnesses or problems. There have been reports of researchers in the Netherlands who have created a pill that can be sent to a particular part of the body where the attached medicine is needed. That could be one HNS reform to attract universal approval.
Driverless transport
Another favourite amongst inventors and engineers, the mass-market driverless car is not as far away as you might think and could prove to be a vital innovation for the urban dweller. For example, General Motors has produced EN-V, the electrically-networked vehicle designed to support those in urban areas where space is limited and driving is often for short distances at low speed. Three bubble-shaped models - Jiao, Xiao and Miao - have been developed which can all be programmed via the HMI (they don't have steering wheels) to take you where you want or perhaps to drop the kids off at school and drive itself back home. What's not to like about that?

The study, Magonomics, was carried out by Mindshare UK's Business Planning Unit, using its own data and data provided by marketing, analytics and research company Ohal.
It was commissioned to examine the role of print magazine brands in both driving bonding between advertisers and consumers and influencing, cost efficiently, their purchase behaviour.
Mindshare analysed econometric data from 77 campaigns with advertising spend of up to £6m to reveal return on investment (ROI) figures that seek to quantify magazine advertising's "often-underestimated" contribution to driving sales.
The main findings include:
- A correlation between printed magazine investment and high bonding scores (which, according to the PPA, is the most critical influencer of purchase behaviour);
- In the campaigns analysed, magazines showed a higher average ROI than any other media channel involved, including television, internet and newspapers;
- A series of diminishing return curve and media reallocation analyses show a consistent overall increase in sales when magazine media are deployed at higher spend levels (but within the same overall budget);
- For the brands included, magazine budgets had to be at least doubled before magazine ROI dropped to the same level as television.
Mindshare also discovered that the gains made by reallocating budget to magazines were far greater than the losses from the host medium.
Although the results varied for each campaign, it emerged that magazine spend for the brands reviewed can be doubled before the ROI drops to the same level as TV, providing an indication that there is room in spend allocations for magazines to continue delivering high ROI.
Jim Jarrett, business director, intelligence at Mindshare UK, said: "The PPA commissioned us to analyse the performance of magazines in the media mix and we've deliberately examined two key areas to really understand the power and impact of magazines.
"Firstly, our Magonomics research has viewed magazines separately to newspapers to highlight the different function they play to traditional print within a media campaign.
"Secondly, we examined magazines' measurement in econometrics to assess performance over time, taking into consideration that magazines do not deliver their entire audience in one 'easy to pinpoint' moment. In exploring how magazines are treated in econometrics, we are able to demonstrate that correctly distributing magazine audiences over time leads to an uplift of 19% in magazine ROI."
Marius Cloete, head of research at PPA, said: "Our work with Mindshare and Ohal has conclusively shown just how powerful, and frequently underestimated, magazines' ability are not only to get consumers closer to brands, but to make a substantial contribution to an advertiser's bottom line when deployed and measured appropriately."
The PPA also recently released the results of its TAP report, which drew on both on the PPA's own online market research and on a large selection of international studies.Follow @nickbatten2

The City of Alameda periodically conducts a cost comparison between local cities of various business expenses, such as business license tax, rent, and electricity costs. These comparisons have demonstrated that Alameda can provide an annual savings relative to other locations.
The City recently revised its cost comparisons for commercial office and R&D space. The cost comparisons are with cities that local commercial brokers consider are in the primary and secondary markets in which Alameda competes. The City also did a similar comparison for retail space, taking into account special property tax assessments that have been a concern in the local business community. The retail comparison is with other traditional "main street" retail districts in Alameda County similar to Park Street and Webster Street.
Both comparisons favorably position Alameda, which typically has competitive lease rates and one of the area's lowest business license tax rates.

KCBS Team Bios
COOL SMOKEYear Started: 2004
Team Bio:
Cool Smoke competition barbeque team cooked in its first KCBS contest in September 2004, in Lynchburg, Virginia. . Our main goal for that weekend was to turn in all four meats on time, which we did accomplish. At the awards ceremony we were pleasantly surprised to get called to the stage for 2nd place pork and 7th place brisket. We were hooked after that. Cool Smoke came to be after Tuffy Stone, who co-owns A Sharper Palate (upscale off premise catering company), began to research barbeque. "I was looking for a new culinary challenge. Barbeque cooked with a wood fire really appealed to me. I liked the rich history of barbeque. I loved the simplicity and approachability of this food. It was a food for all to enjoy. It was not pretentious and everyone could relate to it." This was a departure from the high end foods that had made ASP successful. "Through much research, I learned about pits and cooking techniques. I also learned about bbq competitions. In the summer of 2004, I purchased my first wood burning pit and began to practice. It was a humbling and exciting experience. Learning to cook with nothing but a wood fire is one of the greatest learning challenges I have faced in the kitchen and I had greatly underestimated this cooking process. As I began to learn, I also felt re-energized as a cook and put much time and energy into barbeque." Cool Smoke was a name that came to be for two reasons. One was that because we were cooking at lower temperatures, we were cooking a "cool'er temperature. Also 'Cool Smoke' was to be relaxed and fun, or -- cool. So Cool Smoke we became, and through hard work and help, we have done well. Cool Smoke has won 10 state championships to date.

I caught that part, too... really shocked me. I thought Baron was happy in Golden State, but giving a vague answer like that was pretty much confirmation that he's going to sit at the end of the bench and give up on the season (like he did to the Hornets). It's really not sitting well with me, either...
Baron has been plenty motivated... Did anybody here stop to consider that maybe Baron had been asked about a million times when he'll be back and gave and answer like, look I'll be back when I heal, go ask the trainer if you want a timetable."
When else is he supposed to come back? Before he heals?

"There's a rumour circulating that Ubuntu is in discussions with Microsoft aimed at an agreement along the lines they have concluded recently with Linspire, Xandros, Novell, etc. For the record, let me state my position, and I think this is also roughly the position of Canonical and the Ubuntu Community Council though I haven't caucused with the CC on this specifically. We have declined to discuss any agreement with Microsoft under the threat of unspecified patent infringements."

Through May 2010, Single Family Building Permit activity was 45.8% ahead of the same pace in 2009. June 2009 was the month that single family permitting actually returned to life, so the first five months of this year presents a very valid point of reference for one of the major ramifications effecting the marketplace: the value of new.
Actively marketed sellers need to examine for themselves what the same dollars might buy somewhere else in El Paso County. This might seem ridiculous and foolish: why compare downtown Colorado Springs to Lorson Ranch in Fountain? Why compare Peregrine to Pine Creek? How can Falcon in the $300,000's compare to Gleneagle? Would an appraiser ever compare these two areas? Never. But is a buyer? Maybe. Okay, probably. Okay… most likely. Hey, if you wanted to sell a '99 Benz for $10,000, and a buyer could get a 2006 Honda Accord for the same price and mileage… that's how consumers tend to think.
There are 515 homes for sale from $225,000 to $250,000. The average sales price market-wide in June improved to $237,000 and change. So why is there an 8 month backlog of sell-time in this price-range? Consider: Classic Homes is no longer the city's largest builder. The same company that produced more than 1200 homes in 2005 now has less market share than two companies that did not even exist in the market in 2004 (Journey Homes and St. Aubyn Homes). These two builders, along with Challenger Homes, account for 1/3rd of the marketshare among new home builders. Classic is now fourth. These Top Three builders are all producing homes in the $200,000's (and no, that's not the advertised "from the $200K's… those are closed values). No, they're not in Oak Valley Ranch, Divine Redeemer or even Springs Ranch areas where homes in this price range should be flying off the shelf (but aren't)… but it begins to explain why resale homes are struggling to sell from $200,000 to $300,000.
Classic Homes builds entry level homes, but their average sales price is $375,000. The new-build focus from 2002 to 2006 shifted to a higher and higher price bracket due to the ready availability of cheap credit, especially jumbo credit. After the market freefall and credit crunch, the game had to change dramatically. While Saddletree/Symphony is still making a profit, and Keller, Vantage, Acuff and Classic all seem to have "survived" the downtown, the growth is not in their price range: it's in the average-priced-home available with a two car garage, new HVAC efficiencies and shiny new appliances.
Of severe significance: average now equates to a custom experience for the home buyer. At average price… they can pick their colors; their trim; their flooring; their appliances; their landscaping. Double that average price point, and how special does a resale home have to be when there are granite slabs to be chosen, wet bars to be designed, 16″ tile to be selected for the two-person shower? In the higher price brackets, a new built $500,000 home is not the same as a new built home from four or five years ago. First, it is probably energy-star rated. The added insulation and HVAC inspections cost more money. The counters are probably slab granite. The appliances are probably standard stainless. The lot has probably been discounted. It might have a standard basement finish. The builder has trimmed work forces and had to trim their profit margin on the building. This all adds up to a property that probably offers 10% more value than the same product purchase three or four years ago.
Add to that money leverage. Every one percent drop in interest rate increases a buyer's buying power by 11%. Consider this crazy reality: the market has fallen in value 5% to 20% depending on neighborhood. It is fair to say in general terms that prices are about 8 to 10% less than they were two summers ago. Rates at that time were 6%. Rates today are as low as 4.5%. That means buyers have 25% MORE BUYING POWER than they did just two years ago.
Add to that the fact that buyers still control the market. A balanced market has 6 months of inventory: neither buyers nor sellers control the market at 6 months. Below six months, sellers control the market and appreciation is likely. Above six months, buyers control the market. Appreciation is less likely due to increased supply. Buyers correspondingly hold out for… MORE.
That "MORE" that buyers hold out for is critical. They are operating in a whole other realm of reality and possibility right now with 25% more buying power this summer than two summers ago. With that come heightened expectations. The first place that is made manifest is in the house itself. Yes, that lot might have value. Yes, that location might have value. But buyers simply will not tolerate: outdated carpet and paint; 80's/90's fixtures; lack of cleanliness; lack of snappy curb appeal; prices that are even slightly out of line.
Sure, it's the Great Recession. But take one look at the Promenade Shops at Briargate parking lot any day of the week and you'd never know. New and New-On-Sale are today's consumers two favorite categories.

Princeton University: Refusal to Recognize Religious Group
Category: Due Process, Religious Liberty
Schools: Princeton University
Princeton Faith and Action, a student organization at Princeton University, was given recognition after being arbitrarily denied such. PFA is associated with the Christian Union, an off-campus ministry serving Ivy League universities whose own request to apply to have a full-time chaplain on campus was rejected by Dean of Religious Life Thomas Breidenthal. After being blocked from reserving spaces on campus through an existing recognized Christian student group, students organized PFA in order to hold activities independently. When they approached the student government to apply for official recognition, however, student government officials explained that because their group was religious in nature, they were required first to obtain Dean Breidenthal's approval-even though secular groups face no such hurdle. Then, at a meeting to discuss the possibility of recognition, Dean Breidenthal denied PFA the opportunity to apply for recognition because he did not want to recognize a group that associated with the Christian Union. When the students expressed concerns that the approval process seemed discriminatory, the dean explained that this was "the way things are done" at Princeton. FIRE wrote to the school, reminding it of its stated commitments to freedom of religion and association, and soon PFA was given recognition, and Princeton pledged to re-examine their policy, which unfairly singles out religious student organizations for additional and exceptional scrutiny.
Students fight for rights
June 22, 2006
There may be an end in sight to the long reign of one-sided intellectual discourse on the nation's colleges and universities. New, on-campus movements by students as well as interest from state and federal lawmakers are beginning to make headway in guaranteeing intellectual freedom for all students. According to Sara Dothan, campus director for Students for Academic Freedom (SAF), students at more than 150 campuses across the country have started SAF chapters to fight for the passage of an academic bill of rights. The organization is growing rapidly and having an impact on campuses, Dothan said. "One of the biggest […]» Read More
Campus Conscience Police?
December 21, 2005
"Over one's inner mind, and self, no one has coercive power." So write attorneys Jordan Lorence and Harvey A. Silverglate, authors of the just-published Guide to First-Year Orientation and Thought Reform on Campus from the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). The Guide is yet another indication that political correctness is faltering on campuses across North America. To those who value the right of individuals to a conscience—that is, to judge right and wrong for themselves—this is welcome news. Political correctness is the belief that certain ideas and attitudes are improper and, so, should be discouraged or prohibited by […]» Read More
University reverses policy on faith groups
May 13, 2005
Nassau Hall has reversed its policy on the recognition of religious student groups after being contacted by an outside civil liberties organization that protested the treatment of one such group as an "ongoing injustice." Under the new policy, religious student groups with ties to faith organizations without established "campus ministries" will be considered for official student group status using the same criteria as other groups. Previously, such student groups were denied recognition. The policy change allowed Princeton Faith and Action (PFA), a new evangelical group, to seek official student group status — which it was recently granted. PFA is affiliated […]» Read More
Princeton recognizes Christian group initially denied campus sanction
May 11, 2005
PRINCETON, N.J. — After being initially rebuffed by a Princeton University official, a group of evangelical Christian students who wanted access to facilities and the chance to apply for funds has won a victory. After the university's dean of religious life refused recognition for Princeton Faith and Action, the group appealed to a campus rights group that successfully lobbied the university to change its procedures. "We found Princeton's quick and fair response very encouraging. We've found other colleges who haven't been particularly fair to religious groups, sometimes in an unconstitutional way," said Greg Lukianoff, an official with the Philadelphia-based Foundation […]» Read More
Christian Student Group at Princeton Wins Religious Freedom Victory
May 17, 2005
Princeton University has decided it will no longer deny official recognition to an evangelical Christian student group. The school's Dean of Religious Life, Thomas Breidenthal, had withheld recognized status from Princeton Faith and Action, but the university administration reversed course after an advocacy group intervened. Princeton Faith and Action (PFA) is associated with the Christian Union, an off-campus ministry that had its own request to apply to have a full-time chaplain on campus rejected by Dean Breidenthal last year. In March 2005, after being blocked from reserving campus space through an existing recognized Christian student group, students organized PFA in […]» Read More
Victory for Freedom of Association and Religious Liberty at Princeton University
May 11, 2005
PRINCETON, N.J., May 11, 2005—In an important victory for religious liberty and freedom of association, Princeton University has decided to recognize a Christian student group that had been arbitrarily denied official recognition. After the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) wrote to Princeton on behalf of the Princeton Faith and Action (PFA) student group to remind the school of its stated commitments to freedom of religion and association, the university quickly moved to restore PFA's rights and to recognize the group on an equal basis with other student organizations. Princeton also pledged to re-examine a policy that unfairly singles […]» Read More

Puppies have 28 temporary teeth, 14 in the upper jaw and 14 in the lower jaw. These deciduous teeth erupt at about three to four weeks of age.
Dogs have 42 permanent teeth, 20 on the top, and 22 on the bottom. These begin to emerge at about four months of age.
Dogs have 6 permanent teeth that have 3 roots each, and 14 teeth that each have 2 roots.
Puppies should lose a puppy tooth before the corresponding adult tooth emerges. If a puppy tooth is still in place when an adult tooth begins to show it is called a retained deciduous teeth. If this occurs, see your veterinarian so the dog's occlusion is not affected.
Studies show that by age three, 80 percent of dogs exhibit signs of gum disease. Symptoms include yellow and brown buildup of tartar along the gumline, red inflamed gums and persistent bad breath.
Facial swelling below the eye is usually due to an infection of the 4th premolar (carnassial) tooth.
Sneezing and nasal discharge may be due to an infection of the upper canine tooth. The infection may lead to an opening between the mouth and the nasal cavity. This is called an oronasal fistula.
Small dog breeds are more likely to develop periodontal disease than large dogs because the teeth of small dogs are often too large for their mouths, according to veterinary dentistry experts.
A broken tooth is a common problem, especially among outdoor dogs. The canine teeth of working dogs are essential to allowing the dogs to carry prey and other objects. If these teeth become broken, a canine dentist can prepare a metal crown.

WIDER INTERCHANGE WILL EASE CONGESTION as STATE ROUTE 905/INTERSTATE 805 CONNECTOR OPENS to MOTORISTS
SAN DIEGO – Today, Caltrans and the San Diego Association of Governments announced the completion of a $20 million State Route 905/Interstate 805 Connector Project that is easing congestion two months earlier than anticipated and for $2 million less than projected. This project will help move goods and services through California's busiest commercial border crossing at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry more efficiently. In 2010, approximately 1.4 million truck crossings moved $36 billion in goods across the border at Otay Mesa.
This phase is the second completed within the larger $611 million project, designed to move traffic faster and with less smog. The overall project will add eight miles of a new six-lane freeway from the Otay Mesa Port of Entry to I-805, which will help move the anticipated four million trucks between California and Mexico that are projected by 2020.
"This project will benefit border crossings in California," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "When the last project is completed on the corridor in late 2012, cross-border trade will have a more efficient and direct route."
The widened connector ramp is located on westbound SR-905 to northbound I-805, which was increased from one lane to two lanes. This phase of the project also widened an auxiliary lane along northbound I-805 between SR-905 and Palm Avenue and widened the Del Sol Boulevard undercrossing.
Partners in this project include Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration, and the San Diego Association of Governments.
The project was funded entirely by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). California has obligated nearly $2.6 billion in Recovery Act funding to nearly 1,000 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information on the Recovery Act visit: http://recovery.gov/.
For more project information, contact the Caltrans Public Information Office at (619) 688-6670, or view the SR- 905 Project fact sheet at dot.ca.gov/dist11/facts.

There is bliss occurring. Frankly, I think the pirate concept was too much for you to handle. You mocking references to the topic completely escape overlook the importance of the connection.
The "meddling" you referred to...not that I agree....was created by Liberals who have pushed every major industry in America to foreign soil.
Including oil.
The reality is Liberalism is killing America.

The Spain international is out of contract at the end of the season and has his heart set on a move abroad, revealing that he wants to try his luck in a different leagueVictor Valdes has reiterated his internation to leave Barcelona next summer, explaining that he feels that his time at Camp Nou is over.
The Spain international is out of contract at the end of the season and announced during the summer that he would not be signing an extension.
A number of Barca players, including midfielder Andres Iniesta, have publicly stated that they have tried to persuade Valdes to change his mind and stay in Catalunya, but the 31-year-old shot-stopper says he has his heart set on a move abroad.
"My time here is done," the goalkeeper told Antena3. "They offered me the chance to renew [my contract] but my decision had been made."
"I am seeking new challenges. I want to play in another league and be with my family in another place.
"But this season I have still been feeling the love and support of the people and that is greatly appreciated."
Valdes, a product of Barcelona's youth academy, has spent his entire professional career to date at Camp Nou.

UPDATE- Cooking Mishap Caused Sunday Evening Fire in Three Story Apartment Building [AUDIO]
A kitchen fire caused over $20,000 in damage Sunday evening in an apartment on West Front Street.
Missoula City Fire Assistant Chief Jeff Brandt revealed on Monday, that the cause of the fire was overcooked fish.
"Our investigation bureau came up with patterns inside the house that it was a cooking fire," Brandt said. "The occupant was cooking some fish on top; of the stove, and the oil caught fire, and from there spread into the cabinets, up the wall and into the ceiling.The occupant came into the kitchen to find the fire already out of control."
Damage to the apartment is estimated to be more than $20,000. Brandt said the occupants escaped safely, and have a safe place to live.
"Her mom lives locally and was able to go and live there," Brandt said.

I can see your point with Heath being needy. You know when I started the series I really liked Heath and Erik never was a Loren fan at all. I knew something was up with him. I was disappointed how the author changed Erik's personality. I don't want to ruin it for the people who haven't read up to current book so I will make it invisible. Don't you think Erik was a nice guy and now the author made him into a controlling,possessive guy?vampyre_princess wrote:@ Edwards Ragazza: I liked Erik for a while... till Stark came along, I fell in love with Stark from the off!!

Documentation of XML Markup in THL
This page is the XML markup manual for THL. It addresses the specific uses of XML for essays and catalog records within THL, after they have been converted from their initial entry forms. At present, the documentation is in development with this page serving as a repository for issues as they come up.
The DTD for this THL XML Markup comes in two forms:
- xtib3.dtd: The original version of the DTD used for essays
- xtibbibl3.dtd: Slightly modified version of DTD without language definitions that allows one to validate stand-alone catalog records (<tibbibl>).
These DTDs are TEI-based and were created using an on-line TEI-based DTD creator (TEI PizzaChef or Roma) and THL specific add-in. Only the uses of the markup specific to THL are mentioned here. Other uses of the markup not documented here may be found in the TEI P4 Documentation. (The List of Elements is particularly helpful.)
There follows two sections listing THL XML Markup Issues which describes markup issues and THL XML Tag Library which links the tags, or elements, by their name to the relevant issues in the first list.

The following alphabetical list links to pages describing various aspects of XML markup in THL using the xtib3.dtd or the xtibbibl3.dtd. Not all elements available through the DTD are listed here.

Every year I make a slightly different version of this soup. It's always got to have black eyed peas, of course, because eating those delightful little babies on New Year's Day brings you prosperity and luck in the whole long year to come.
Because duh. That's a known fact. That's just science. But the rest of the ingredients? They tend to be more of an improvisation.
As is, ultimately, the whole long year to come.
I've been eating much, much healthier this last little while than I have in my whole life -- so much so that I've lost 90 pounds since July 2012 -- so this year's version is considerably lighter than the one I made last year. No salt pork, no bacon, a bit less olive oil than before. But it's no less delicious.
And hey, if it makes you feel any better, I totally wolfed down a massive bowl of this soup today on this fine, sunny New Year's Day with a side of the most amazing grilled cheese sandwich, made with crusty rye bread and some sharp, sharp cheese.
Because cheese is good luck, too. Everybody knows that.

The Fedora 14 Beta was released today, but as a Network World article points out, it "will be the first Red Hat supported distribution to let users choose MeeGo as their desktop." This new release will also include the Sugar interface, intended for netbooks, and "will also be the first version to fully incorporate Red Hat's VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure), called SPICE, or Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environments. SPICE will allow Fedora to host virtual desktops that can be accessed over a network."

Show me! The Importance of Visual Communication in Spatial Development

Learning about locations in space often involves the use of visual representations. As an example, first listen to the following description that an 8-year-olds is giving of the layout of space she has just learned:

What do you think this space looks like? The boxes could be in rows in the space. They could be on shelves. They might be adjacent to one another or they might be spread apart. Now watch the gestures that accompany this description:

Visual representations, such as gestures and drawings, can enhance verbal communication when words are not enough. Visual communication may be especially useful for children, as the majority of 6 year-olds, 8-year-olds, and 10-year-olds in our studies have verbally described space in the same manner as the girl you just heard. Although gesture can be beneficial for enhancing their descriptions, many of the younger children (6-year-olds and 8-year-olds) never used their hands while describing the space. We've found two methods that encourage children to better communicate spatial information, and also gain a deeper, more integrated understanding of the space.
Maps: In one of our studies, half of the children saw a map of the animals' locations before entering the space. The other half saw photos of the animals (and received no spatial information). The children then navigated a route through the space and learned the locations of the animals. Then, they had to describe what they had learned to their parent, who had never seen the space before but would need to be able to find all of the animals later. The children who saw a map communicated more spatial information, mainly in gesture. The map may have provided them with a portable, tractable, representation of the space that was easy to convert to a gesture model. Gestures and maps are similar in that they both permit us to communicate spatial relations and scale large spaces to a more manageable size.
The children who saw a map also gained a deeper knowledge of the space. When later asked to make relational inferences about the locations of the animals (e.g., knowing who was diagonal from the frog), children who saw a map made significantly more correct inferences than those who did not see a map. Maps often give us a perspective not normally found in navigation (Blaut, 1991; Woord, 1992) and can impact our representation of the space (Uttal, 2000, 2005).
Drawing: Children who make their own drawings of the space also show the same advantage as children who see maps. When asked to communicate the space to their parents, children were also given the chance to draw while they explained. Many children drew maps, which communicated the layout of the space and the locations of the animals. Like the children who saw a map, they also demonstrated a deeper knowledge of the space as evidenced by the inference questions.
In summary, visual representations play a critical role in helping children learn to think spatially. In SILC we investigate the role that these representations play in spatial learning and education more generally.

The telephone on a book reviewer's desk rings frequently with calls from beginning authors who have questions like this one: ''I've written a children's book, and I want to find out how I can get it published?''
How to get published is apparently the question being asked by hundreds of writers these days. And many are turning to the numerous writers conferences being held throughout the United States to find out. (Literary Market Place: Directory of American Book Publishing, published annually by R.R. Bowker in New York, currently lists 41 such conferences.)
Writing conferences are conducted throughout the year, but in the summer they burst forth like wildflowers, and people often combine learning and vacation to attend. Some of the sessions are sponsored by colleges. Others are sponsored by independent writers organizations such as the national Society of Children's Book Writers and the local writer-organizers of the Cape Cod Writers' Conference.
Colleges may offer credits for those who complete requirements during or even after the conference, but many of the people who come want guidance and training , not credit.
Of course, writing conferences aren't all that new, but the sudden increase in the number is. The Bread Loaf Writer's Conference held at Vermont's Middlebury College is in its 57th year. The Chautauqua (N.Y.) Writers' Workshop is in its 36th year; the Cape Cod Writers' Conference in Craigville, Mass., held its 20th session Aug. 22-27. Simmons College, in Boston, recently hosted the 6 th annual New England Writers' Conference (previously called the Eastern Writers' Conference and held in Salem, Mass.). The University of California at San Diego held its second conference in July.
The conferences share a common goal - to get beginning writers together with published writers, editors of publishing houses, and literary agents to learn more about their craft and the mechanics of getting a manuscript into print. It seems that most aspiring writers are in the dark about just what to do once a manuscript is ready to send to a publisher.
Bringing new writers together with published authors has long been the norm at these sessions, where the teaching staff may use the creative-writing faculty from a college or university and then round out the sessions with visiting authors of best-selling books. However, the inclusion of agents and publishers is a recent development. The New England Writers' Conference began with the idea of doing just that, according to Theodore Vrettos, its director and the author of five books.
This face-to-face exposure allows the aspiring writer to ask questions like:
* What happens to my manuscript when it arrives at your publishing house?
* How many manuscripts do you receive each year?
* To what publishing house or houses should I send my manuscript?
* What are the chances of a first novel being published?
* What exactly does a literary agent do?
And the new writers are frequently surprised with answers like:
* Every manuscript arriving at my office is seen by me. (This is what one editor told the conference at Simmons. Many houses, however, don't accept unsolicited manuscripts.)
* Our house receives over 2,000 manuscripts each year, and we publish around 125 books, so the competition for acceptance is stiff.
* Look at the books in your own library and see if there is a predominance of any one publisher; if there is, and if your writing is similar to that style, then perhaps send your manuscript to that house first.
* There were a large number of first novels published last year, but one of the best ways to submit a first book is to get someone known to the publisher to formally or informally introduce you and your material, since we receive so many manuscripts and are often overworked.
* An agent is a specialist who, for a standard fee of 10 to 15 percent of an author's royalties, sends manuscripts to appropriate publishing houses and represents the author in negotiations with interested publishers, not only for the initial printing but for subsidiary rights, too. Established agents often are asked to find writers for special projects, as well.
Often anyone who wants to enroll in a writing conference is required to submit a sample of his or her work, such as one chapter of a book, several poems , a magazine article, or a completed manuscript for a children's book. The applicant also selects the genre of interest, such as poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or children's literature.
When accepted to the conference, the writer is assigned to a group, and the manuscript is given to an author-instructor for criticism. The manuscripts become a basic part of workshop instruction and discussion in class, as well as during individual sessions with the instructor.
There are similarities in the schedules of the various conferences. Usually about half of the time is spent in workshop sessions dealing with the literary genre one has selected. In these the author-instructor shares insights and asks students to read from their work and to criticize material from other participants.
At Simmons College, where the conference lasts five days, workshops are held each morning. On three days this year, the afteroon sessions (for all the participants) featured well-known authors. Ann Beattie (''Chilly Scenes of Winter''), Dan Wakefield (''Under The Apple Tree''), and award winner John Updike (''Rabbit is Rich'') talked about their writing and answered questions. On alternate days the afternoon sessions consisted of panel discussions, one of which included a literary agent, an author, a director of subsidiary rights from a publishing house, and an editor from the Boston Globe Magazine. The second panel included the chief editors from Atlantic Monthly Press, Houghton Mifflin Company, and Little, Brown & Company, all located in Boston. There were impromptu reading hours, when the participants read their works for those outside their genre, and a daily social hour provided for more interaction between speakers and participants.
Traditionally conferences are held away from the noise and busyness of the city. The Bread Loaf Conference, where the participants, staff, and writers work and live together for two weeks in late August each year, is held on a remote campus surrounded by the Green Mountain National Forest. The participants use a Victorian inn, a large barn with a fireplace, and a cluster of cottages with porches and wicker chairs. This helps promote informal dialogue between the novice and professional, free of distraction, say the sponsors.
The Cape Cod Writers' Conference meets in an open wooden-truss building called ''the tabernacle'' located on the highest point of the 60-acre Craigville Conference Center, which has a private beach on Nantucket Sound.
Tuition for the conferences varies from $35 for a single course and $20 for a private session with an instructor at the Cape Cod Writers' Conference, to $250 for non-credit participation at the New England Writers' Conference, and $450 for the two-week, all-day and evening sessions at Bread Loaf. Living costs at each conference are extra.
Is it worth it? Without exception, the participants interviewed at the closing session of the conference at Simmons were enthusiastic. ''The instructors were so knowledgeable and interested in helping me as an individual, '' said one beginning poet who lives in Cambridge, Mass., and who works at a publishing house. ''The criticism and enthusiastic support of my writing from fellow workshop members makes me even more enthusiastic about continuing to write,'' commented another from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. ''The knowledge gained from the authors and speakers at the general sessions will be an invaluable help to getting more articles published,'' said another participant, an engineer from Texas. ''I'm rewriting my whole manuscript, using what I've learned here,'' remarked still another, a recent college graduate, from Stowe, Vt.
While the conferences can't guarantee the literary success of a single participant, they find that serious and talented writers do enroll, and some of these do meet with success. Beatrice Gormley of Duxbury, Mass., might be called a triple success. After being rejected by one conference, she applied to the New England Writers' Conference after seeing an ad for it in The Writer magazine. Ms. Gormley attended the 1979 session with her completed children's book in hand. After the conference, she revised her manuscript, incorporating some suggestions from her instructor, Jane Langton, an author of numerous children's books, including the 1981 Newbery Honor Book, ''The Fledgling.'' Ms. Gormley submitted her manuscript to an editor at E. P. Dutton, along with a personal recommendation from Mrs. Langton.
Three months later, Mrs. Langton ran into the Dutton editor in London and said, ''You didn't like the book?'' The editor responded that she liked it so much she intended to publish it, but just hadn't found time to get back to Ms. Gormley. After three more revisions, using the Dutton editors' suggestions, ''Mail-Order Wings'' was published last fall. Ms. Gormley's second book, ''Fifth Grade Magic,'' will be released this month, and she has just put her third book, to be released in the fall of 1983, under agreement. Ms. Gormley credits the instruction and good advice at the writers conference for opening the doors of publishing to her.

Evans posts third straight double-double with 22 points and 12 rebounds
HONOLULU, Hawai'i (Nov. 28, 2009) - Siarre Evans (Griffin, Ga.) scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but it was not enough to upset No. 13/17 ranked Arizona State, as the Sun Devils closed out the final six minutes on a 16-5 run to hold off ETSU 80-67 on Saturday afternoon inside Hawaii's Stan Sherriff Center.
Evans posted her third straight double-double performance moving her career total to 36. The Griffin, Ga. native also moved past Lauren Trantham (2001-04) for fifth all-time on the ETSU rebounding charts with her 12-rebound effort (823 career rebounds).
After opening the season with a 24-point win over Chattanooga back on Nov. 13 in Johnson City, ETSU (1-3) has now suffered three straight losses (at Mississippi State, at Arkansas, vs. Arizona State). With the win, the Sun Devils improved to 4-1.
In the first half, the Lady Bucs did a great job attacking and getting to the free throw line early, as five of their first nine points came from the charity stripe, and ETSU was all knotted up with Arizona State following Tarita Gordon's (Wichita, Kan.) floater at the 14:28 mark.
From there Arizona State capped off a 9-2 run to lead 19-11, but ETSU responded with a lay-up from Ashley Benedict (Rome, Ohio) and a three-pointer from Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) - closing the gap to 19-16 with 11:02 on the clock. Unfortunately, the Lady Buccaneer run came to halt and the Sun Devils saw their lead soar to 11, 27-16, when Kayli Murphy laid one in at the 9:11 mark. ETSU did a solid job keeping the game within reach for the remainder of the half, but poor free throw shooting down the stretch cost the Lady Bucs from taking the advantage in the locker room. Instead, the Sun Devils led by four (41-37) after the opening 20 minutes.
Despite being in 80-plus degree weather, ETSU shot a frigid 55.6 (10-18) from the free throw line and 41.9 percent from the floor (13-31). Arizona State shot 50 percent (16-32) in the open half, but was 0-for-4 from beyond the arc. The Lady Bucs were not fazed by a significant height disadvantage, as they were only out-rebounded by five (23-18) - but more importantly - ETSU held the Sun Devils to a mere five offensive rebounds.
ETSU came out shooting lights out to start the second half - connecting on four of its first five field goals (6-for-6 at the free throw line) - and led 52-44 with 15:45 remaining in the contest. However, Arizona State fought back with nine straight points of its own over the next three and a half minutes, and regained the lead (53-52) following a pair of free throws from Kimberly Bandon. The Sun Devil run extended to 13 unanswered, until TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.) drained a three-pointer in the corner, cutting the deficit to 57-55 at the 10:42 mark.
The Lady Bucs pulled within two, 64-62, after Gordon sank one of her two free throw attempts, but back-to-back 3-pointers by Arizona State and a technical foul by Evans gave the Sun Devils a 72-62 lead with 4:30 in the contest.
The swing of events changed the ball game and ETSU never threatened during the final four minutes of the game.
For the contest, the Lady Bucs shot 41.8 percent (23-55) and were only 3-of-11 (27.3 percent) from beyond the arc. More importantly, poor free throw shooting and turnovers doomed ETSU, as the Lady Bucs shot 62.1 percent (18-29) at the charity stripe. In addition, ETSU coughed the ball up 16 times - resulting in 17 points for the Sun Devils.
Joining Evans in double figures was Wiles and Davis. Wiles finished with 14 points, five rebounds and two steals; while Davis chipped in with 11 points (6-of-6 at the free throw line) and two assists.
Arizona State's Danielle Orsillo was one of four players to score in double figures - ending with 18 points.
The Lady Bucs wrap up their four-game road swing on Sunday against host Hawai'i in the final game of the Rainbow Wahine Classic. Tip is set for 5 p.m. (HT)/10 p.m. (ET) inside the Stan Sherriff Center.

WORCESTER � A group has formed to try to put the brakes on National Grid's plans to erect a specialized communications tower for its "smart grid" program in the Tatnuck Square area.
The group, spearheaded by local activist Steve Quist, was formed�this week after National Grid petitioned the Zoning Board of Appeals for a special permit and variance to construct a 90-foot-high, ground-mounted monopole at its electric substation at 597 Mill St.
The tower would have three WiMAX and two microwave antennas attached to the pole, which would serve as a transmission structure for National Grid's Smart Energy Solutions program, also referred to as its "smart grid" program.
Mr. Quist, a June Street resident, said he formed the group and launched a Facebook page (Stop NG Smart Grid) in response to concerns raised by several residents and business owners in the Tatnuck Square area since the electric company's proposal came to light.
He said opponents of the Smart Grid program from outside the area have also joined the local group. Mr. Quist said people have expressed concerns about potential health issues related to the effects of radio and electromagnetic frequencies, and potentially harmful radiation from the communications infrastructure at the substations.
National Grid officials, however, have said the communications technology it will use for the smart grid has been proven safe worldwide. They have said the small amount of radio frequency energy produced by smart meters and towers is not harmful to human health.
Mr. Quist said people are also outraged over the fact that National Grid wants to put a 90-foot-high tower in the heart of Tatnuck Square.
"It's been quite the eye-opener," Mr. Quist said Friday. "People in Tatnuck Square are really up in arms over this. We need to put an end to this dumb idea. Between the potential health risks and having a 90-foot tower next to a strip mall and a McDonald's, this is something that just can't go forward. This is going to be like the fluoride debate several years ago."
He said members of the group will fan out Saturday to make more Tatnuck Square area residents and business owners aware of National Grid's proposal.
"(The group) is in the infancy stage but we expect it to grow and pick up momentum as more people become aware of this," Mr. Quist said. "National Grid should be investing in upgrading the infrastructure it already has in this city rather than in a smart grid program."
Mauro DePasquale, a city resident, said the installation of the communication towers to support the smart grid program should not be allowed anywhere in the city unless evidence is provided by an unbiased third party showing that the smart meters and towers have been thoroughly tested and are free of any toxic impact on people and the environment.
"The public at large should have an opportunity to review and either deny or approve such submissions, and have ample time to discuss these in an open forum with the time to speak beyond the parameters of three-minute margins offered at public hearings," he wrote in a letter to members of the City Council and the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Mr. DePasquale, executive director of Worcester's local community access cable channel (WCCA-TV, Channel 13), said his station would be willing to provide a forum for such a discussion if desired by the community.
The site where National Grid wants to erect the pole is next to a shopping center at Mill and Chandler streets. It is also near the Worcester Housing Authority's Mill Pond Apartments at 600 Mill St., a McDonald's restaurant and an apartment complex off Brookside Avenue behind the shopping center.
National Grid originally proposed putting the communications tower at its Cooks Pond electric substation at 30 Tory Fort Lane in the Tatnuck area, but it ran into strong opposition from neighborhood residents. The electric company has proposed the Tatnuck Square location as an alternative, though its petition before the zoning board for the Tory Fort Lane site remains active.
The zoning board has scheduled a public hearing for National Grid's latest petition for 5:30 p.m. Oct. 21 in the Levi Lincoln Chamber at City Hall.

So. Here we are. Another day of non-productivity that pours millions down the drain while our central bank defiantly tries to save our reserves. The RBF can only try its best to stem the gush.
The self-appointed illegal leader defies the calls for Elections and lies about the so-called 64% support of HIS ideals and the normalcy of our current situation.
Lo and behold we even detect some knee-knocking as Bainimarama now begins to fear another coup within a coup of his 3 coup's.
The illegal Attorney General finds it fit to defy our local media and spill his guts to the international press as if it will gain him any credibility. Furthermore he continues to defy the notion that his soon to be known illegal judicial appointments will be independent and impartial. The individuals who take up these roles will be hard-pressed to ignore the treasonous oaths they take as officers of the court, against a constitution that is still very much alive.
But neither
Growing defiance is also continuing in our opposition of this illegal military regime. Dorsami Naidu's staunch defiance even from the 4 walls of his cell are note-worthy and to be applauded. It is a bright spark in these dark days.
Jone Baledrokadroka's latest radio interview is all the more enlightening about how effective the might of the military really is when the masses are defiant.
Dark days yes but peaceful defiance is central to our freedom as a nation. There are no limits to how that should look.
Continuous hand-wringing, teeth-gnashing and wailing from the sides should not be an option.
