Our friends at Gawker occasionally record random TV shows during the week, and they came across this episode of "Tyra." Apparently this is a show.
Anyway, the program was a "transgender beauty pageant," which helped serve as a vivid reminder of why America is so hated. But this woman/man/whatever claims that she once dated an NBA player before she told him of her "situation." Fun! Our heart wants to say it's Kobe, but, sadly, our head is guessing the late, great Eddie Griffin. It seems up his alley.

It seems to me that the "mid-release" concept is a growing trend in scrapbooking. It used to be that most products were debuted at one of the trade shows before release. However in recent years, and 2010 in particular, I have seen a rise in items being released in the spring that were not shown at the winter CHA show back in January. These "mid-releases" are small offerings of a few select new goodies that we will see in stores long before the next trade show crush.
I find it delightful to discover these new treats from favorite companies, and today I'm going to share some of my picks from the crop of Spring 2010 mid-releases with you, as well as a few layouts.
American Crafts has several mid-releases that should be hitting stores any time now. Several new alphabet Thickers, some additional fabric paper, and additional colors of the very popular rose ribbon (from the Dear Lizzy line) so it will be available in six colors.
BasicGrey is jumping in with two new collections, Oliver and Olivia, to be released in June. The image below is the sneak peek shared on their website.
There's also a whole new company on the scene called Echo Park Paper, and the product peek on their homepage is intriguing:
Pink Paislee has released a collection called Starlight that you will see featured in an upcoming article here on Scrapbook Update. The red, blues, and buttery yellows make a really nice subtle color palette for a variety of projects.
Teresa Collins has released Travel Ledger, a line that is neutral enough in color, and subtle enough in patterns, to be used for most any vacation scrapbooking.
Jenni Bowlin has debuted several new papers for her line as well as rub-ons, stickers, and a few other items. What I appreciate the most about Jenni's new lines are that they seamlessly tie into her older product. Rather than becoming a whole new collection, these items will work with papers and stickers I have from a few years ago as well as they will with each other.
The bold yellows and reds in Jenni's aptly named "Play Date" papers seem to be the perfect choice for summer, and I love that they are useful for any number of subject matters. I decided to try out some of the new products with some pony ride photos.
Supplies: Jenni Bowlin patterned paper, chipboard and sticker butterflies, journaling card, banner stickers, and coordinating core'dinations cardstock; Fiskars scallop border punch; Martha Stewart bakers twine; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L EZ-Runner; Sakura pen; unknown thread
The new banner stickers and the butterfly shaped stickers are so much fun, and I'm glad to see this trend continuing. I am looking forward to utilizing the large butterfly rub-ons as well.
Another company with a stellar surprise is Cosmo Cricket, with the new collection called DeLovely. When I first saw the images of this on-line, I was thrilled! This bright aqua, pink, and yellow dominated line is just the thing for warm weather fun pages.
I tried out this new line with a new favorite photo taken outside our local fair. I think that mixing black, white, or some really dark colors that coordinate with a line help bring a better contrast and overall look to my projects. A very dark aqua or pink might be fun…in fact, I think I'll have to try that!
Supplies: Cosmo Cricket patterned paper, 6×6 paper pad, Chipboard stickers, sticker sheet, alphabet stickers in pink and aqua, and flowered patterned paper (cut out flowers); American Crafts rose ribbon; unknown thread.
Visions of a pool, summer sunshine, popsicle eating, and general warm weather fun all come to mind when I view this line. I love how feminine it is while still being a rainbow of bold colors. You can expect to see more from me using this line for sure.
I'm looking forward to working more with these new products, as well as discovering more new favorites and enjoying my classic staple supplies as well.
(See something you like? Most of these products that I've mentioned today are available now in stores, and those that aren't will be within a few weeks.)

You might have noticed some user icons next to some comments today, this is because we enabled Gravatar support. Gravatar acts as a centralized identity pool where blogs, news sites (and recently Revver.com) can use their service and offer a universal icon for each unique email address. As long as you register on Gravatar with the same email address registered on OSNews, your personalized icon will be shown on OSNews (and on all other sites that support Gravatar) automatically. This is a testing period for Gravatar here at OSNews, and there are no guarantees whatsoever that the v4 version of OSNews will use that icon system or its own. It all depends on the kind of quality, stability and responsiveness we get from Gravatar's servers. So, upload your own icon at Gravatar.com and test away! Ability to turn off user icons will be built-in on v4.

Remember back when Nokia jumped to Windows Phone 7, abandoning all other platforms and future directions? Remember Elop's infamous 'burning platform' memo was coveniently 'leaked' to the web? Remember how Elop claimed Windows Phone 7 was the only way forward, since nothing else inside the company would be ready for prime time soon enough? Remember how I thought this was a very good and sane decision? Well, the first reviews of what will be the only MeeGo handset from Nokia (the N9) are in, and well... To whoever decided to go WP7 and ditch MeeGo: I don't like you. To myself: I'm an idiot for arguing this was a good idea.

I think its more of a time restraint. Plus their native API is likely immature at this point in time.
What gives me hope is that Windows 8 rejuvinated native development with the WinRT. Hopefully some of that transfers over in the next major release, bringing with it native access.
I'm not against it if its done responsibly.

The Toll Gate boys' lacrosse team played one of its best games of the season on Thursday against Smithfield in the Division III quarterfinals.
The Sentinels barely blinked.
Smithfield ran out to a four-goal lead at halftime and extended it to seven goals in the third quarter before the Titans cut it back down to four. Yet, they got not closer, as the Sentinels calmly closed out the game and won 8-4 at Bryant University.
With the loss, Toll Gate was eliminated from the postseason shy of the semifinals for the first time in three years. Smithfield kept up its lengthy winning streak, as it still hasn't lost a game since 2010.
The two-time defending D-III champion Sentinels wore the Titans out with their athleticism and experience. At the end of the day, Toll Gate was another casualty, even though it gave Smithfield a mild scare late in the game.
"I told those guys, I said, 'It's number one against number eight. No one expects you do to well – just go play,'" Toll Gate head coach Mike Vadney said. "They were ready to play. Smithfield is just a very skilled team."
The Titans were in the playoffs thanks to a three-game winning streak to end the regular season. That was an accomplishment, but their reward was the No. 8 seed and a match-up with the champs.
In the first quarter, the game had the feel of a one versus eight match-up. Smithfield scored three times, getting one from James Whitehead and another from Louis Catarina in the first two minutes before adding a third on another goal from Whitehead at the 4:49 mark.
That made it 3-0, before the Titans finally settled in.
"We started out a little bit tough," Vadney said. "I think the defense kind of found itself. We knew going into this game it was going to be our defense against their offense."
Toll Gate kept the high-powered Sentinels off the board for the rest of the first quarter and for the first 6:18 of the second quarter, but couldn't narrow the gap. The Titans struggled to get the ball, and when they did they seemed to constantly turn it over in their own zone.
"Our clears, they were just running a 3-3 zone ride," Vadney said. "I think it was a just a little bit of impatience. They're an athletic team. The guy looks open, but he's not."
In the middle of the second quarter, Smithfield made it 4-0 on another Whitehead goal with Nick Gerlach on the assist. Toll Gate finally got an open look two minutes later, but Anthony Zelano was stoned by goalie Mike Macera. A minute after that, the Titans turned the ball over in their own zone, and Brendan Benoit made them pay with a bouncing shot that found its way past Toll Gate goalie John Coleman for a 5-0 lead.
But with time winding down in the half, the Titans finally got on the board. Steve Mathews let loose a shot from the top of the zone with 16 seconds to play, cutting the score to 5-1.
Any momentum gained from that goal quickly wore off, however, as Smithfield scored three more times in the third period and kept Toll Gate off the board. Possession was close to even, but the Sentinels capitalized on their chances, while the Titans did the opposite. Gerlach, Bryan Kortick and Catarina all scored to make it 8-1.
"It stinks to lose, but I guess if we're going to lose I think we put our best foot forward defensively," Vadney said. "We need to work on offense."
Down seven, with 12 minutes left in their season, the Titans started to rally. Andrew Zelano found Anthony Zelano on the left with 6:30 to play, and Anthony Zelano made one move to free himself up and scored.
Two minutes later, Brendan Murray found a cutting Zelano in the middle, and he fired a hard shot on net for another goal. Then, with 1:32 to play, Colby Connell started a fast break and it ended with Zelano skipping in his third goal in five minutes, and suddenly it was 8-4.
But the deficit was too big. Smithfield held on to the ball for the last minute of the game, finishing off Toll Gate's comeback attempt.
"Unfortunately, our offense came alive at the end," Vadney said. "But too little, too late. Zelano found the groove. He found that sweet spot and rallied off three quick goals. He had a heck of a face dodge to score that second goal."
The loss was symbolic of the season Toll Gate had. While the Titans played better than they had in many of their games, they still struggled to find an offensive rhythm. During the regular season, they were ninth in D-III out of 13 teams in goals scored with 73. Conversely, they were fourth in goals allowed
That said, the future should be brighter, as the Titans will lose some seniors but also played a large contingent of underclassmen. That should bode well for the team – and the offensive development – going forward.
"Nice thing is, looking towards next season we've got some guys who got a little bit more play," Vadney said. "We can probably re-build a little bit better."
The Titans will say goodbye to seniors Murray, James Sullivan, Derryck Anderson, Zelano, Mike Palumbo, Matthews, Coleman, Matt Deneff, Connell and Champ Prak.
Smithfield advanced to take on No. 4 Warwick Vets on Wednesday at 3:45 p.m. in the semifinal round.

No. Really. I don't care about the massages (although if you're offering ...) for these little kids.
I would give my engagement ring to go back to the days when the heaviest thing weighing on my mind was how to cut out the picture of Peter Rabbit without going over the lines. Yeah, I get that kindergarten is more stressful these days when it was when we were kiddos. Did you know they actually have homework? I didn't until my kid hit the first year of public school, and proceeded to spend afternoons fresh off the bus putting pencil to paper.
But still. I have a mortgage. She had to circle things that started with "Sh." Even the bullies on the playground (and ooooh, boy, don't get me started on those buttheads) aren't as mean as the guy who will call my house if I don't sign my John Hancock to the check that's due to the bank this month.
I'm not going to hide my head in the sand and pretend that there aren't mental health issues that little kids deal with. The rates of depression in little kids are skyrocketing, and I think it has more to do with parents waking up and getting their kids treatment than it does with actual increases in problems.
But I'm rather glad to note that my kid is just fine and dandy without spa treatments thankyouverymuch. Because if she can't get through the stress of a few worksheets, how is she ever going to handle cursive?
What do you think of giving kindergartners spa treatments?

From the outside, Camp St. Vincent looks like many other summer camps. There are crafts and reading along with plenty of time to play outside, and campers beat the heat with a dip in the pool. But the reality of these kids' everyday lives is anything but carefree.
Camp St. Vincent, a free summer day camp at Patterson Park, has been serving homeless children ages 5 through 12 from Baltimore City and Baltimore County for more than 100 years. The eight-week camp, which is a program of St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore in partnership with Baltimore City's Department of Recreation and Parks, is specifically designed for children living in shelters and transitional housing.
Tamika Harrison learned about Camp St. Vincent through Sarah's Hope, an emergency shelter for women and children, and decided to send her 7-year-old son, Jahmal.
"I see a lot of little changes in him. He's getting along better with other children, and it's given him self-confidence and independence," she says. "The best part is he's gotten better at math and reading. He jumped in the pool the other day. … I'm really happy to see him enjoying himself."
More than 380 children are homeless each night in Baltimore, according to statistics from St. Vincent de Paul. According to Teresa Eaton, director of communications for the nonprofit organization, children can lose up to two months of reading and math skills during summer break. The rate is twice as high among homeless children, which is why the staff at Camp St. Vincent works to help prevent summer learning loss through a structured reading and math curriculum.
More than 80 percent of campers maintained or increased their reading level last year and 85 percent maintained or increased their math skills, according to the results of tests at the beginning and end of camp.
Mixed in with an agenda of art, sports, music, dance and field trips are activities like a reading challenge and daily "Fast Facts" math instruction.
"What makes us unique is that we're one of the only camps exclusively catering to homeless children in the city, while combining that academic and artistic side," says camp director Vena Carter.
But to campers like 10-year-old Zarie Avery, Camp St. Vincent amounts to summer fun.
"I like it a lot. My favorite part was going swimming with my friends and all the counselors. We had fun in the pool," she says. "It also helped me with math and reading. And I did art and dance. It was fun."
Other elements of Camp St. Vincent include cultural enrichment through weekly trips to local destinations like the Maryland Zoo, National Aquarium and Hippodrome Theatre, as well as psycho-social support.
"Homeless youth have social and emotional damage," says Eaton. "They move up to four times a year, so there's a curriculum designed to address those issues. There's a weekly theme, such as friendship, problem-solving, family dynamic and knowing yourself and your community."
Each weekday, more than 100 children are transported by bus from various shelters and housing programs to camp, where they receive a free breakfast and lunch.
Many staff members are teachers on summer break and high school students volunteer as camp counselors.
"Another reason we do this is for the relationships the kids can form with adults and so they're able to have role models of all ages," says Eaton. "It's something we pride ourselves on."
Volunteer counselor Sydney White, 17, says she's learned valuable lessons at Camp St. Vincent.
"It's taught me a lot about myself," she says. "It's so good to see the kids happy and full of life, especially when you know they're going through difficult times."
As a camp counselor, Sydney is assigned to a group of four campers and works with them on their math and reading skills.
"We're there to get their heads in the game and support them," she says. "Our job is to let them have fun, while still getting an education."
Camp St. Vincent receives annual support from individuals, church groups, corporations and private foundations. It costs about $38 per day to sponsor a child to attend camp.
"Our intent is not to have these kids come back next summer because it means they're in permanent housing," says Eaton. "It's always bittersweet when they come back."

Dependence and tolerance
Renoconica has a primary dependence potential. When used for a long time tolerance to the effects
and progressively higher doses may be required to maintain pain control.
Chronic use of Renoconica may lead to physical dependence and a withdrawal syndrome may
occur upon abrupt cessation. When a patient no longer requires therapy with oxycodone
hydrochloride, it may advisable to taper the dose gradually to prevent symptoms of withdrawal.
When used as directed in patients suffering from chronic pain the risk of developing physical or
psychological dependence is markedly reduced and needs to be weighed against the potential
benefit. Please discuss this with your doctor.
Renoconica are for oral use only. In case of abusive injection (injection in a vein) the tablet
excipients (especially talc) may lead to destruction (necrosis) of the local tissue, change of lung
tissue (granulomas of the lung) or other serious, potentially fatal events.
This medicine should be avoided in patients with a history of or present alcohol and drug abuse.
Anti-doping warning
Athletes should be aware that this medicine may cause a positive reaction to "anti-doping tests".
Use of Renoconica as a doping agent may become a health hazard.
Children and adolescents
Oxycodone has not been investigated in children under 12 years. Safety and efficacy have not been
established therefore use in children under 12 years of age is not recommended.

Renoconica with food, drink and alcohol
Drinking alcohol whilst taking Renoconica may make you feel more sleepy or increase the risk of
serious side effects such as shallow breathing with a risk of stopping breathing, and loss of
consciousness. It is recommended not to drink alcohol while you are taking Renoconica.
You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice during your treatment with Renoconica
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby,
ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Renoconica should not be taken in pregnancy unless clearly necessary. There are only limited data
from the use of oxycodone in pregnant women.
Oxycodone crosses the placenta into the blood circulation of the baby.
Prolonged use of oxycodone during pregnancy can cause withdrawal symptoms in newborns. Use
of oxycodone during delivery can cause respiratory depression in the newborn.
You should not take Renoconica when you are breast-feeding as oxycodone passes into breast
Driving and using machines
Oxycodone hydrochloride impairs alertness and reactivity to such an extent that the ability to drive
and operate machinery is affected or ceases altogether. To look at the possible side effects
affecting the motor skills and concentration (see section 4).
With stable therapy, a general ban on driving a vehicle may be not necessary. The treating
physician must assess the individual situation. Please discuss with your doctor whether or under
what conditions you can drive a vehicle.
Renoconica contains lactose
If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars contact your
doctor before taking this medicinal product.
How to take Renoconica
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or
pharmacist if you are not sure.
The recommended dose is:
Adults and adolescents (12 years of age and older)
The usual initial dose is 10 mg oxycodone hydrochloride in 12 hourly intervals. However, your
doctor will prescribe the dose required to treat pain.
Patients who have already taken opioids can start treatment with higher dosages taking into
account their experience with opioid treatment.
For the treatment of non cancer pain a daily dose of 40 mg of oxycodone hydrochloride is
generally sufficient, but higher dosages may be necessary.
Patients with cancer pain usually require dosages from 80 to 120 mg of oxycodone hydrochloride
which may be increased up to 400 mg in individual cases.
For doses not realizable/practicable with this strength other strengths of this medicinal product are
Risk patients
If you have impaired kidney and/or liver function or if you have a low body weight your doctor
may prescribe a lower starting dose.
Use in children and adolescents
Renoconica is not recommended in children younger than 12 years of age.
Method of administration
Swallow the prolonged-release tablet whole with a sufficient amount of liquid (½ glass of water) with
or without food in the morning and in the evening following a fixed schedule (e.g. at 8 a.m. and 8
The tablets must be swallowed whole, not chewed, divided or crushed as this leads to rapid oxycodone
release due to the damage of the prolonged release properties. The administration of chewed, divided
or crushed prolonged-release tablets leads to a rapid release and absorption of a potentially fatal dose
of oxycodone (see section "If you take more Renoconica than you should").
The prolonged-release tablets may be taken with or independent of meals with a sufficient amount of
Renoconica should not be taken with alcoholic beverages.
Opening instructions:
This medicinal product is in childproof packaging. The prolonged-release tablets cannot be pressed
out of the blister. Please observe the following instructions when opening the blister.
Pull off a single dose by tearing along the perforated line on the blister.
An unsealed area is exposed/can be reached by this; this area is at the point where the perforated
lines intersect with each other.
At the unsealed flap, peel away the cover foil from the bottom foil.
Further determination of the daily dose, the division into the single doses and any dose adjustments
during the further course of therapy are performed by the treating physician and depend on the
previous dosage.
Some patients who receive Renoconica according to a fixed schedule need rapidly acting painkillers
as rescue medication to control breakthrough pain. Renoconica is not intended for the treatment of
breakthrough pain.
The treatment needs to be controlled regularly with regard to pain relief and other effects in order to
achieve the best pain therapy possible as well as to be able to treat any occurring side effects in good
time and to decide whether treatment should be continued.
If you take more Renoconica than you should
If you have taken more Renoconica as prescribed you should inform your doctor or your local poison
control center immediately. The following symptoms may occur: constricted pupils (miosis),
depressed breathing (respiratory depression), drowsiness, skeletal muscle flaccidity and drop in blood
pressure. In severe cases circulatory collapse, mental and motor inactivity (stupor), unconsciousness
(coma) slowing of the heart rate and accumulation of water in the lungs (non-cardiogenic lung
oedema) may occur; abuse of high doses of strong opioids such as oxycodone can be fatal. In no case
you should expose yourself to situations requiring elevated concentration e.g. driving a car.
If you forget to take Renoconica
If you use a smaller dose of Renoconica than directed or you miss the intake of a dose, pain relief will
consequently be insufficient or cease altogether.
You can make up for a forgotten dose if the next regular intake is not due for at least another 8 hours.
You can then continue to take this medicine as directed.
You should also take this medicine if the time to the regular next intake is shorter, but postpone the
next intake by 8 hours. In principle, you should not take Renoconica more than once every 8 hours.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
If you stop taking Renoconica
Do not stop treatment without informing your doctor.
When a patient no longer requires therapy with Renoconica, it may be advisable to taper the dose
gradually to prevent symptoms of withdrawal.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Significant side effects or signs to consider and measures to be taken when these side effects or
signs occur:
If you experience any of the following side effects, stop taking Renoconica and contact your doctor
Depressed breathing is the most significant risk induced by opioids and is most likely to occur in
elderly or debilitated patients. As a consequence, in predisposed patients opioids can cause severe
drops in blood pressure.

"First of all, Nicholls State is a very good tennis program. They are probably very underated because of the conference they play in but they have a strong line up from top to bottom. Their doubles was certainly a surprise coming out of the gate," said Coach Andrew Harris. "I didnt do a good enough job relaying the message to our men about how strong thier doubles play was and it showed. In singles we were leading in three of the matches however were not able to capitalize on two of those matches. James Murrell did a great job finishing his match out and this will certainly be a good confidence builder for him going into our next match."

Ichabod Crane�s battle against the menacing Headless Horseman and the looming apocalypse is just getting started.
Ichabod Crane�s battle against the menacing Headless Horseman and the looming apocalypse is just getting started. Fox�s locally filmed freshman series �Sleepy Hollow� has been renewed for a 13-episode second season, set to air in fall 2014, the network announced Thursday.
The show is the first new fall series on any broadcast network to be renewed.
The show has filmed scenes at Havelock�s Sherwood Motel as well as at New Bern�s Tryon Palace.
Fox chose to order a second 13-episode season instead of adding episodes to the current season, which suggests the network envisions �Sleepy Hollow� as a 13-episodes-per-year series. Broadcast networks increasingly have embraced seasons shorter than a standard 22 episodes, a format that has proven successful for cable networks. The shorter season structure also was implemented by CBS for �Under the Dome,� the locally filmed series that aired its 13-episode first season this summer.
In a statement, Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment for Fox, said, �The show has proven to be a risk well worth taking � it�s a conceptual blast unlike anything else on television and it all holds together with inventive writing and a fantastic cast.�
Nicholas Gonzalez, who plays Det. Luke Morales on the show, said he got to break the news to co-star Nicole Beharie and some of the hair and makeup crew members Thursday afternoon while filming in downtown Wilmington.
�Everyone is thrilled, especially with it being a 13-episode second season so everyone can get a little break,� he said, emphasizing how hard the cast and crew have been working.
A spokesperson for the series said that, at this time, no one has talked about changing the production location of the show for the second season.
The show will continue to film its first season at three sound stages at Wilmington�s EUE/Screen Gems Studios and at locations across the region. First season production should wrap by Christmas, said Bill Vassar, the studios� executive vice president.
�This renewal means the show will continue to grow, and we are excited because that means more jobs for the area,� Vassar said.
The show employs between 175 and 250 local crew members, depending on daily production requirements, according to the Wilmington Regional Film Commission.
Thursday�s renewal comes as the series continues its impressive ratings streak. The third episode, which aired Monday, attracted 7.9 million viewers and a 3.0 rating in the key 18 to 49 age demographic (or 3 percent of all viewers in that age group). The pilot episode, which aired Sept. 16, was the most-watched Fox drama premiere since 2006 with 10.1 million people tuning in and a 3.5 18 to 49 rating. In Thursday�s announcement, Fox revealed that more than 22 million viewers have watched the pilot episode since its premiere across various platforms, including on-demand and online streaming services.
The series is a genre-bending revisionist spin on Washington Irving�s classic tale �The Legend of Sleepy Hollow� that pulls Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and the Headless Horseman through time to the present day where they become the leading forces for good and evil in the beginning days of the apocalypse. Orlando Jones and Katia Winter also star.
The show�s fourth episode airs at 9 p.m. Monday on Fox. Due to baseball coverage, the series will take a two-week hiatus beginning Oct. 21 and will return Nov. 4, according to the network.
Hunter Ingram is a reporter for the Wilmington Star News.

Commissioner Moeller's statement on competition final rule
"It's been nearly two years since the Commission embarked on its quest to identify issues regarding competition in organized markets. Today, I'm pleased that we have arrived at our destination. The Staff presentation has addressed the significant changes that we have made since the proposed rule was issued and I won't repeat those points again. I would like to stress, however, that while the Final Rule is largely devoted to removing barriers to facilitate the use of demand response, efforts that I support, I believe that demand resources cannot be the only solution to meeting our energy needs.
While demand resources such as demand response and energy efficiency have a tremendous potential to reduce the electric demand on the grid, there still needs to be a physical grid constructed of steel and wire, and that infrastructure must be maintained and expanded when necessary to accommodate new load and the delivery of renewable energy. Although this Final Rule may be focused on demand resources, that is not my only focus, and it should not be the only focus of the Commission.
Let me again emphasize my support of today's Final Rule and I'd like to thank our Staff team for their hard work over the past year. Our objective was to improve competition in organized markets and I believe that we've satisfied this goal."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Christina Person, a rising senior, is spending the first part of her summer break at the Officer Candidates School of the United States Marine Corps. When she returns to Yale next fall, she will have an opportunity to use the leadership skills she is learning as the captain of the women's crew team. Person was elected following a team vote earlier in the spring.
"I am learning a level of discipline that I never knew existed," Person said of her experience at OCS. "My sergeant instructors drill into my head the principles and traits of leadership, and I intend to bring these lessons back to the team."
Person was in the No. 7 seat of Yale's varsity eight that won the NCAA title on June 1. As a sophomore, she was in the second varsity that won a bronze medal at the Eastern Sprints.
"I had never rowed before the spring of my freshman year, but when I walked onto the team, the coaches and rowers embraced me and put me on the fast track to success," Person said. "My accomplishments are a testament to the cohesiveness of my team and a pinch of hard work."
Said Yale head coach Will Porter, "Christina has emerged as a leader of our team. When she returns from OCS, I expect her to be older, wiser and ready to go. She will have the distinct challenge of leading one of our largest teams toward the common goal of making Yale women's crew fast and a fun place to be."
The Bulldogs are scheduled to open up the 2008-09 season on October 4 by hosting the Head of the Housatonic regatta at the Gilder Boathouse.

Cashing In on Refis
More Homeowners Putting in Cash to Refinance
By M.P. McQueen. The Wall Street Journal
Second quarter data from Freddie Mac, the mortgage investor, released Wednesday confirms a trend of "cash-in" refinancings. As we reported in Saturday's Journal, more homeowners are paying down their principal balance in order to take out a new loan at a lower interest rate.
About 22% of homeowners who refinanced their first-lien mortgage during the last quarter put in cash to lower principal, tying a record for the third highest "cash-in" share since Freddie Mac started keeping records in 1985. The share increased from the first quarter, when the revised cash-in share was 19%, according to revised figures.
On the other hand, borrowers who took cash out at closing, and increased their loan balance by at least 5%, fell to 27%, near-all time lows in the last few quarters, the company said. Cash-out financing was popular for years prior to the housing bust.
Overall, total home equity converted to cash fell to the lowest level in a decade, at $8.3 billion.
According to an April article from bankrate.com, the primary cause of stepped up cash-in refinancing was tighter lending standards, or home appraisals coming in lower than expected.
Low appraisals! Good thing we live in the Real Bay Area (RBA), where home values never go down! If there are cash-in refis going on here, it's to avoid higher interest rates, right? Conforming loans must be for $417,000 or less. A mortgage over $729,750 will have even higher interest rates than a non-conforming loan. Homeowners hoping to refinance at today's lower rates could pay in additional money to lock in significantly lower rates.
Are banks even allowing cash-out refinancing anymore? Isn't that how the non-RBA got into this mess? But good news awaits! With low interest rates and cash-in mortgages in vogue, now is the time to double down on your house! Yes, sell your underwater house, bring cash to the closing and retire your mortgage, then buy a bigger house at a lower rate for similar monthly payments! What could possibly go wrong? Well, other than the economy double-dipping, interest rates going up pulling down home values, or McMansions going out of vogue with green-conscious Generation Y buyers? Oh, don't worry about that last possibility, none of them can afford a house because they all owe too much on their college loans!

I was reffering to the 227 vinaya rules.plwk wrote:This link seems to suggest on page 81, that the OBC 'monastic' discipline is a mix and match of three sources: the Pali Vinaya, the Bodhisattva Precepts from the Mahayana Brahmajala Sutra and Dogen's rules... so that's combination that forms the 200 over rules? I am aware that the late Rev Jiyu Kennett did receive the Dharmaguptaka Sramanerika ordination from Malaysia (though not sure if she pursued it to Bhikshuni level) but if what the link says is true, then the OBC is indeed adopting and practising a unique form of 'mix and match monastic' regulations...
And you are right about the rest though, that is what their practice is based off of, Dogen's monastic rules, the Vinaya, and the Bodhisatva precepts as well as the Scripture of Bhrama's Net.
In Gassho,

Ike Quebec
Thick-toned tenor Ike Quebec is in excellent form on this CD reissue of a 1961 Blue Note date. His ballad statements are quite warm, and he swings nicely on a variety of medium-tempo material. Unfortunately, organist Freddie Roach has a rather dated sound, which weakens this session a bit; bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Al Harewood are typically fine in support. Originals alternate with standards, with "Just One More Chance," "The Man I Love," and "Nature Boy" (the latter an emotional tenor-bass duet) being among the highlights. ~ Scott Yanow
