Imagine, Achieve, and Stay Strong: The Story of How I Started A Whole New Life
What the hell am I doing? I am an overweight (possibly obese) African American women "jogging" down the street. One would have thought I was the big bad wolf in the story "The Three Pigs". As hard as I was breathing, I could have blown someone's house down. Oh, no! Here comes a car. What if someone in the car knows me. I can hear them now, "Look at that fat black woman. I know she doesn't think she's a runner". At that thought, the embarrassment and self doubt start creeping in again, as it usually does when I think about my weight, body image, and ability to do any type of physical activity well.
If reading and researching were a sport, I would be the Tigers Woods of the academic world (pre-cheating incident). I have always excelled in the area of academics. I have a bachelors, three masters, one Educational Specialist degree, and hopefully a doctorate by next year. If it sounds like I am bragging, I am not. That is just the confident tone I speak in when someone comments on my intellect.
However, all of the intelligence in the world couldn't help me solve the riddle of why I agreed to join a group of African American women to run on a cold November day. The fastest I have ever moved has always involved food as the reward. I can't explain it, my friend told me about the group Black Girls RUN! and I felt compelled to complete my first run the following group. Black Girls RUN! is a nationally recognized group that encourages physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle through running. It is arguably the largest group that focuses on decreasing obesity related diseases in African American women.
How hard could it be? You put one foot in front of the other and just move a little faster than you do when you walk. I was an intellectual, I could figure it out. But five minutes into the run, I knew I had displayed a grave error in judgement. Which leads me back to the original question, "What the hell am I doing?" It wasn't for my health. To be honest I really didn't care. I had once been 130 pounds (size four) and enjoyed the fruits of my labor (or maybe that is a poor choice of words since I got to the magical weight, by literally starving myself). Yes, I had seen the statistics. Four out of five Black women are overweight or obese. I knew that due to poor food choices and lack of exercise, African American women were at a higher risk for obesity related diseases than their Caucasian counterparts. Plus, haven't you heard, Black girls don't run? Furthermore, you know that your uterus would fall out if you ran. The fact that I had had a hyterectomy two years before didn't stop me from using that old wives tale as an excuse. I had to preserve my imaginary uterus. So basically, I went about my life wishing, in the back of my mind, that I could lose weight, but accepting the fact that my medical history which includes three major surgeries in three years, would always stop me from doing any type of physical activity. I didn't care that my doctors kept telling me that I could probably get off of some medicines if I started a regular exercise program and my therpist said that I would be much less anxious with regular exercise. When I heard these canned suggestions, I did what came naturally in these types of situations. I lie and say I am going to get started on an exercise program right away and run to the front desk to give the receptionist my copay so that the only thing those doctors could see was the burning of rubber from my tires!
That night, as I massaged my aching feet and calves, I realized the answer to my question. I was lonely. I was depressed. I had no identity beyond being intelligent, my work as a counselor and being a mother and wife. Quite simply put, I had lost myself in between my job, my books, my research, my mounds of fat and a blanket of lonliness. Although I was cold and tired that day, I felt an undescribale energy flow through my body when the run leader said, "Wait, before you go home, you have to join us in our running ritual. We always take a picture at the end of our run and post to Facebook." Now, normally, the mere suggestion of posting a picture to Facebook, circa 2008 (The Year of the Weight Gain) would have been greeted with phony, strained laughter and about twenty excuses regarding why I my picture couldn't possibly be posted online. One time, while out with my husband and some people from his job, I was asked to pose for a Facebook picture. I nearly choked on a piece of chicken as I panicked. I told them that my job required that I could not have a Facebook page, nor could I ever be seen in any photos on the internet. This would have been a perfect excuse for an FBI agent or an undercover cop, but I was a school counselor--not a job that requires a high level of secrecy. Needless to say, my loving husband didn't blow my cover, but the incredulous look on his face told me that I had some explaining to do. Surprisingly, with the new acceptance that I had serious body image issues, I never thought to do anything about it. "This is the way God made me. Plus, after beauty leaves a person, intelligence never does", I repeatedly rationalized to myself. Every excuse bit of self doubt was always answered by, "It doesn't matter because I am so intelligent".
I am a self admitted introvert. It has never bothered me that I didn't have a long list of friends--who needs them. Being an introvert has its advantages. I can read a whole novel in one day. Truth be told, I could go without human contact like a camel can go without water. So feeling that surge of emotion go through me on that cold November day (my first run) was strange and foreign. It seemed that taking the group picture and having other group members cheer me on as I huffed and puffed my way back to the starting point started to strip away the layers of loneliness that I wore like a protective coat. From that day forward, I started running every week. Sometimes I would go ten or twenty miles out of my way to join another group just to meet new people, talk, and the ultimate; take the group picture at the end of the run.
The unofficial motto of BGR Raleigh is, "We leave no woman behind." Not only did they NOT leave me behind, they encouraged me, slowed their pace to meet mine, and kept telling me how they valued my commitment to running. I can't remember the last time someone told me I was valuable for reasons other than being smart. Most encouraging of all, there were skinny Black girls, fat Black girls, short Black girls, in shape Blacks, out of shape Black girls. It made me smile to think that we were a collage of beautiful. In other words, I was surrounded by Black girls who could run! It then occured to me that these women were looking for the same thing that I was looking for--friendship, belongingness, and a journey towards a healthy, physically active lifestyle. I finally fit in with a group other than nerds and geeks. Now don't get me wrong, I truly love being a geek. I still revel in having that title. But since I started running, I learned that you have to be more than a two dimensional figure, to truly have a well rounded life. My life isn't 360 degrees; maybe 180 degrees.
Fast forward seven months later....I live, eat, and breathe running. I completed my first 5k at the beginning of June (48:33 was my time, thank you). Today I would actually describe myself as an extrovert and someone who is anal about healthy living and fitness. I beam with pride when I run for an hour on the treadmill. Even more impressive is the way I look in the mirror and smile at myself when I can barely see due to beads of sweat on my forehead. I am still what is considered a "slow outside runner". Somehow I am not ashamed of that. I have only lost 14 pounds, but surprisingly, that doesn't matter to me. I am more interested in my strength and endurance than the numbers on the scale. From a former "eat-only-one-meal-a-day" to stay skinny fanatic to thinking through my meals to see if I have enough protein, this is major people.
What you just heard is not the amazing journey. In between my first run and today, I have had three additional surgeries, several trips to the emergency room, and several bouts of depression. (Honesty is always the best policy and there is no shame in my game). However, through all of the trials, I realized that if could run beside my BGR sisters, I would somehow feel better. Now, my cure for worrying and being anxious is to lace up my Mizunos and run (slowly, I will admit). Through a healthier lifestyle, I have learned about the advantages of yoga and the affect it has on depression. For my chronic insomnia, I have learned that adding strength training to my exercise regimen is helpful. Through the friendships I have gained from participation in Black Girls RUN!, I have learned the importance of belonging and motivation.
When I started running, I began to set small goals for myself. If I managed to make the goal, I would get a tatoo with a word that had special meaning to me. So far, I have hit three major milestones in my running journey. Thus, I proudly show the words, "Imagine the possibilities, Achieve, and Stay Strong" on my legs. This has become my personal mantra. As I run, I look down at those tatoos and I know that I can overcome anything that is thrown my way. Running has not changed my circumstances, but it has changed the way I view these circumstances. Do I still doubt myself sometimes? Of course, I do. Do I still fall back into the same unhealthy eating patters? You better believe it. Do I still feel lonely and depressed sometimes? I do. The difference is that now I have a coping mechanism and that makes all of the difference.
So whenever you have anxiety, depression, or other problems, try getting some physical activity. More importantly, open yourself up to something new. Explore what is missing in your life. Above all, think to yourself, "Imagine the possibilities. Achieve. Stay Strong".

"I greatly appreciate everything everyone has done for me. The support I've been receiving means a lot to me and my family."
There will be a pancake benefit breakfast in St. James at the American Legion on Sunday, March 10, to help defray medical and living expenses that are incurred while SPC Jessie Garza is being treated for cancer.
The breakfast is being sponsored by Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, which is a group dedicated to helping service members in finding training opportunities, services, resources and support in Minnesota.
The breakfast will take place from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. with pancakes, sausage, applesauce, bars, coffee, milk and juice being served.
Garza was born in Wilmar, Minn., before moving and growing up in St. James. He is a member of the Minnesota National Guard Unit G Company 34 BSB of St. James and St.Peter and deployed from 2009 to 2010 in both Kuwait and Iraq where he worked as a convoy security driver.
"I made a lot of great friends and had a lot of fun," said Garza about the experience. "I even met my wife over there."
After his tour overseas Garza came back to the states and started attending school in Mankato.
"I went to school for law enforcement, but I got out of the program and became a custom cabinet worker," said Garza.
Garza works as a custom cabinet worker in Mankato, but had to miss some time at work while he was undergoing cancer treatments. He was diagnosed with cancer on Oct. 15, 2012, when doctors spotted a tumor.
Garza had surgery to remove the tumor and is now being monitored and receiving MRIs to see if he will need any additional treatment. For the most part, Garza says he is feeling well.
"I greatly appreciate everything everyone has done for me," said Garza. "The support I've been receiving means a lot to me and my family."
Garza is back working now, but still needs some help paying for the cancer treatments. Additional donations for Garza can be sent to:

Hasta luego Barcelona – I hope!September 24, 2009 at 8:14 pm | Posted in Barcelona, Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 6 Comments
Tags: Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Barcelona, Hotel 1898, opera, R.A., Rheumatoid arthritis, Samantha, Spain, Spanish, Terry, Wyeth pharmaceuticals
I sent a postcard to hubby on my first day in Barcelona. It said, 'Start learning Spanish – we're coming back!' It's a truly beautiful city – especially if you love Art Deco and Art Nouveau as I do; the people are friendly, the food is amazing and the hotel they put us up in … well, that's one bit I probably won't go back to. No, don't get me wrong – it was estupendo, fantastico, fenominal (I'm sure translation is not necessary!) … but so was the price. Not an issue for me since I wasn't paying, but I think if I go back to visit with hubby we'll maybe just about afford a drink on the roof terrace there for old time's sake. (Might have to share the drink!) If you have money to burn then Hotel 1898 is probably THE place to stay in Barcelona.
So, was it useful from an R.A. point of view … well, I met some great people, from UK, Spain, Malta, Greece, Israel, Argentina, Romania and Sweden, all R.A. 'victims' and all chosen because their attitude was precisely the opposite of 'victim' or 'sufferer' – these were all people who were getting on with their lives in really positive ways, often doing a lot to help others on the way, and the event was to celebrate their achievements. Made me feel a bit of a fraud, meeting some of them – quite humbling. Terry, for instance, was diagnosed at 16 (ouch) and has put up with SEVERE R.A. for 20 years now – and she raises significant amounts of money for NRAS and still has time to hone her wicked sense of humour on unsuspecting companions (i.e. me). I shall get my own back photographically later on. Theresa from Sweden was diagnosed at eight and … wait for it, wait for it … went on to become a professional dancer!
'But what did you have to DO?' I hear you cry – 'Surely you had to sing for your supper – there's no such thing as a free lunch, let alone a free three night stay in a fabulous hotel, full board, heavenly food, comfy beds, friendly staff …' Well … I think we spent a total of about 1.5 hours in groups and interviews on Monday and Tuesday and the rest was free time! There was what they called a focus group to start off with, divided into three groups as there were 28 'patients' altogether, some with carers in tow, so too large for one group. It wasn't really a focus group – more of an ice breaker. Everyone told their stories briefly and then we all went off for a lovely lunch. In the afternoon there was a short chat about how to deal with the press, how to control a press interview; how to think in soundbites really. (Not the way she put it, and she might be insulted to hear me describe it like that, but that's how it came across to me!) Then on Tuesday morning at 9.30 I did my short piece to camera and then had the rest of the day free until the celebratory dinner.
Apart from the absolutely abysmal travel arrangements, my only quibble would be the arrangement of this. It started at 5.30 with drinks and canapes (standing up) for half an hour, followed by paparazzi hell (a.k.a. a photo opportunity for the press with Jane Seymour, who presented the certificates) with all of us in a group photo. Then a video telling the story of Samantha, one of the participants, and one of the many amazing people there. One young lady (carer for one of the Greek ladies) got clobbered on the head with an enormous telephoto lens, but other than that it went O.K. Then we wandered into the dinner room and sat down to a video telling the story of one of the participants, Samantha, just one of the extraordinary people there, a speech from Jane Seymour, a speech from a Spanish consultant (a whole story in itself, but I'm not going to go into that now!) and a speech from a patient group representative who bravely did her talk in English (which she didn't really speak.) It was a very good try, but really, as we had simultaneous translation, it would have been better to do it more naturally in Spanish, rather than reading the PowerPoint presentation word for word in English! Thumbs up to her for trying though – a brave effort.
THEN we had to all go and get our certificates individually from Jane, who also gave us a signed copy of her new book. Seems like a nice lass – I'm jealous though as she's about fifteen years older than me and still looks like a 'lass'!
Then the OTHER guest of honor, Javier Bovea Ahis, an R.A. 'sufferer' as well, who had had to give up his career in the police force due to his R.A. and retrained as, of all things, an opera singer, going on to win various Spanish talent shows and make quite a name for himself, sang. And boy did he sing – he had a terrific voice, but the room just wasn't big enough for him. He also had an eye for the beautiful ladies, whom he serenaded repeatedly later in the evening, and even danced with in one instance. I was grateful not to be one of them as I think their ears were still ringing the following morning.
Then ANOTHER group photo and then … FINALLY they FED us. This was a bit of a cultural issue; it must have been about 8.15 by this point – the Brits were STARVING, the Spanish were probably just about considering the possibility of getting a bit peckish!
My quibble isn't with the late food – more with the fact that the event started at 5.30 and we finally finished the meal at 11.00 and that's a LONG HAUL for anyone with rheumatoid arthritis I reckon! Some stayed up even later than that … you could spot the bleary eyes at breakfast the next morning!
So – was it worth it? For me, si! I had what amounted to a fabulous short break in Barcelona. For Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, who funded it? I really have no idea. The idea is to put together a website to encourage people to take time out to really learn about their condition and learn to accept it and live positively with it. (My Day for R.A.) That's what we were all there for and that's what the piece to camera was for … but as yet if you go to the site you'll still find application forms for the event that I've just been to, so when they'll get it updated, who knows. Hopefully in time for World Arthritis Day on October 12th!
Photos of the event, including the serenading opera singer and Terry with her new best mate Jane, are here!

Anyone who follows East Gadsden basketball, knows the season is just getting started.
And the Jaguars face a critical district matchup this week.
East shares a five-team district with Godby, Taylor County, Florida State High School and Madison County. The Jaguars have already beaten Taylor County and Madison County and face Godby at home on Saturday, Jan. 7.
Godby, 12-1, has pretty much had its way in the Big Bend Region, with its only loss coming to Summit Christian, a private school from Palm Beach County.
East started its schedule a little later and has five losses against a couple of wins -- over district rivals.
The Jaguars started playing the night after football season ended and took a while to get up to full strength.
As coach Dimitric Salters acknowledged, it had been a building process since their opening home court loss to Leon. And they face the Lions again at home this Thursday night in what should be a perfect tuneup for Godby.
Last week the Panthers were in tournament action at Tallahassee Community College.
On Thursday, Dec. 29, the Jaguars faced Rutherford High School out of Panama City. The Class 5A Rams came in with a 12-2 record that included a win over Wakulla.
East got behind early and trailed the first half, 38-20. But the Jaguars outscored the Rams in both the 3rd and 4th quarters, 14-7 and 17-8. However, they could not close the gap and the final score was 53-5, Rutherford.
The next afternoon, East played neighboring Bainbridge, who had just lost a close contest with Leon, 59-55.
The game started off fast with Zameric Holt edging Bearcat Trea Kelly for the jump. Then it stayed even with the teams matching point for point. The Bearcats had more height under the baskets but the Jaguars showed a better organized offense. At the end of the first period, East led 17-13. That lead would grow to nine points late in the second quarter, until Bainbridge started reeling them in.
When the first half ended, it was East ahead 34-29, and the game was becoming notable for the lack of whistles.
The game got extremely tight by midway through the 3rd quarter as East's lead shrunk to a point, 36-35, then tied at 38-38 as both teams stayed stingy with baskets. As that quarter ended, the Jaguars were behind 44-43. As it neared the three minute mark in the 4th quarter, the game was tied.
With two and a half minutes left Bainbridge pulled ahead and the fouls started. With 1:51 left, Bainbridge led 53-51, then Jaguar Chris Daniels made two free throws, but East still trailed 56-53 and missed several inside shots.
With 18 seconds left, East was trailing 57-55 and saw any hopes of a tie start to fade as the Bearcats were back at the foul line. Then East had its chance at a tie, but missed the shot and sent Bainbridge back to the foul line with seven seconds left.
The Bearcats picked up another point and the game ended with Bainbridge winning 58-55.
Afterwards, Salter agreed it had been a tough tournament, but said he wasn't worried as they are starting to pick it up and will be ready when the regular resumes.
Tournament play was also tough for West Gadsden High School as the Panthers saw their unbeaten streak ended on Dec. 28 against 6A Columbia out of Lake City by the score of 65-53.
West Gadsden did win its two other tournament games beating Hawthorne, 66-63 on Dec. 27 and defeating St. Francis Catholic, 55-49 on Dec. 29.
The Panthers host district rival Port St. Joe on Friday, Jan. 6. And on Saturday, Jan. 7, West will be at home again to fact Cottondale, who is having a similarly successful season.
As of Monday, maxpreps.com continued to rank West Gadsden, 12-1, as the number one Division 1A team in Florida, followed by Chiefland, 10-1, and Cottondale, 11-2.
Willie Holmes was selected as Panther Player of the Week. The senior led the team in scoring through the tournament games.

White Sox - 100 000 010 - 2 7 0BIG PAPI Walkoff HR!
Red Sox - 010 001 001 - 3 7 1
Wakefield was brilliant (7-6-1-1-3, 94) and David Ortiz hit two home runs! The game-winning blast was clubbed down the right field line, plenty high and deep enough, and it stayed fair -- his first walkoff dong since September 12, 2007.
Boston's other slugger -- Alex Gonzalez -- hit a solo shot in the sixth.
And Victor Martinez's night of dealing with the knuckleball was a complete non-event. It was never an issue. ... Plus, 21 of Wakefield's first 22 pitches (and 27 of 30) were strikes.
The Yankees beat the Rangers 9-2, so Boston stays 6 GB in the East. The Rangers fell 2.5 GB Boston in the Wild Card. The Blue Jays scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Rays 3-2 and drop Tampa 4 GB in the WC.
Wakefield returns from the DL (lower back and left calf) for his first start since July 8. His pitches shall float like a butterfly while the Red Sox bats sting like a bee. A big fookin' nine-stinger stabbin' bee. Well, maybe an eight-stinger bee, since Seabass will be in there.
Brave Victor Martinez will be behind the plate:
I'm really looking forward to it. I've had a chance to catch four or five of his [bullpen sessions]. ... I'm pretty excited. ... You don't have to look pretty catching it. You just have to make sure that you catch it.Since Wakefield's mobility in somewhat uncertain, Tito will go with strong gloves at the corners: Kotchman 1B and Yook 3B, with Tiz DHing.

Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan Identical Plays (Video)
Many years before I started BSO, I asked someone who had been successful running a gaming site for some tips. He told me the first thing I should do is study the most successful sports sites and see what they did best.
From there find out what worked for me and then implement it into BSO.
Nothing is truly original, you can put your individual spin on things to make it unique, but it probably came from somewhere else.
Before Jordan there was Dr. J, Connie Hawkins, Bernard King, David Thompson and etc. Jordan put his spin on it and created his own brand.
Kobe has done the same and shouldn't be mocked for using Jordan moves, he should be applauded for doing something that many have tried (everyone wanted to be like Mike) and all have failed.
This is a great video.
No word on if Jordan was ever shirtless in the club or accused of having an affair with Olympic swimmer, but I digress.

State police and union differ on plan to reduce casino presence
While the commanding officer of the state police backs a plan to reduce the state police presence at the casinos, the president of the state police union said Tuesday the move could jeopardize public safety.
Starting this week, fewer state police will patrol the casinos on Friday and Saturday nights, part of a plan to cut costs and free up troopers for deployments elsewhere, according to officials. The plan calls for Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal police to pick up the slack at their casinos — Foxwoods Resort Casino, MGM Grand at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun.
Two state police detectives will cover both Foxwoods and MGM Grand, two will cover Mohegan Sun and one state police sergeant will be available to supervise them, officials said. Previously, four detectives were deployed at each of the three casinos on the late weekend shifts.
"Anyone would realize that's not sufficient staffing to protect the public," state police Sgt. Andrew Matthews, president of the Connecticut State Police Union, said in a telephone interview. "We think it's a bad move."
The state police cutbacks come soon after a New Year's Eve incident outside MGM Grand in which detectives used a Taser on a suspect who resisted arrest. During the scuffle, the individual, one of three arrested in the incident, unfastened the strap on a detective's holster, a source with knowledge of the incident said.
On Thanksgiving weekend, state police arrested two people in connection with a melee that police said involved 80 to 100 people. Ledyard police also responded to the scene.
And, in responding to a brawl at MGM Grand last February, a detective sustained broken ribs.
Col. Danny Stebbins, commanding officer of the state police, said last week that it made sense to scale back state police staffing at certain times given the decline in attendance at the casinos and a corresponding reduction in the state police casino unit's caseload. He said state police and tribal officials agreed it could be done "without compromising public safety."
Stebbins said he disagreed with the findings of a 2012 state police staffing study that included recommendations for "minimal" and "optimal" staffing levels at state police divisions and units across the state. The study, a copy of which was obtained by The Day, said the casino unit "can empirically justify an increase … of an additional nine troopers to reach a minimal staffing level."
State and tribal officials have been discussing a greater role for tribal police departments at casinos for about a year, according to Michael Lawlor, undersecretary for criminal justice in the state Office of Policy and Management. The transition, he said, involves tribal police getting the same certifications as members of municipal police departments.
Virtually all Mohegan tribal police are certified and Mashantucket police are "in the process of getting to that point," Lawlor said.
"What the (public safety) commissioner (Reuben Bradford) has done is evaluate how much staffing is necessary during different times of the day," Lawlor said. "As a general rule, the incidents that occur at the casinos really aren't serious. There are very few serious arrests."
Matthews, the state police union president, questioned whether tribal police have the authority to arrest casino patrons who are not tribal members.
New London State's Attorney Michael Regan said Tuesday they do not.
"Tribal police do not have arrest powers under Connecticut law," he said. "If a suspect is not a tribal member, tribal police have the power to detain him for state police, who will make the arrest. They (tribal police) cannot arrest a nontribal individual to be presented in state court. They can arrest tribal members who will be presented in tribal court."
Chuck Bunnell, the Mohegans' chief of staff, said the Mohegan tribal police force has numbered more than 20 for years and that tribal police typically outnumber state police on any given shift at Mohegan Sun.
The Mashantuckets have beefed up their police department in recent months, naming as chief William Dittman, a retired New London police captain, and announcing the hiring of a half-dozen new officers, most with experience with municipal departments.
"The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation is in the final stages of increasing staffing of their police department," Bill Satti, the tribe's director of public affairs, said in a statement. "When fully staffed the force will have more than doubled to 25 uniformed fully trained and certified peace officers to off-set the reduction in state police presence at the casino.
"The tribal police force will continue to work concurrently with the state police when it comes to arresting powers regarding matters on the reservation."
Neither tribe provided specifics on the number of tribal officers deployed at the casinos at any one time.

Huskers Beat Badgers, Claim Big Ten Title
Lincoln, Neb. - The No. 14 Nebraska women's tennis team (21-4, 10-1 Big Ten) defeated Wisconsin (5-17, 3-8 Big Ten) by a score of 4-0 on Sunday at the Nebraska Tennis Center.
The victory for the Huskers sealed their first-ever Big Ten regular season title, as Nebraska finished tied with Michigan with a 10-1 mark in Big Ten action. It marked Nebraska's first regular-season conference title since winning the Big Eight title in 1978.
The Huskers dominated doubles play leading to a successful singles showing to steal the win and grab the title. This was the ninth meeting between the two teams and Nebraska now leads the series 5-4.
The Huskers went up early against Wisconsin grabbing the doubles point at 1-0. The point came from a victory at the No. 1 position by Nebraska's No. 4 Mary Weatherholt and Patricia Veresova over Wisconsin's Hannah Berner and Lauren Chypyha 8-1 followed by a win from fellow Huskers Janine Weinreich and Stefanie Weinstein over Anastasia Tripolskaya and Katie Hoch 8-3. The No. 3 doubles match did not finish with Nebraska's Maggy Lehmicke and Izabella Zgierska leading Wisconsin's Helen Rabot and Lauren Burich 6-4.
With the lead headed into singles, Nebraska extended the lead to 2-0 at the No. 1 position where No. 11 Mary Weatherholt solidified her Big Ten regular season undefeated record at 11-0 with a win over Wisconsin's Hanna Berner 6-2, 6-0. The Huskers pushed the lead to 3-0 at the No. 2 spot where Patrica Veresova defeated Lauren Chypyha 6-2, 6-2.
Nebraska sealed the victory and their first Big Ten Regular Season Conference Championship title at the No. 4 position with Maggy Lehmicke ousting Wisconsin's Lauren Burich 6-2, 6-0. The remaining matches went unfinished with a final score of 4-0.
Nebraska heads into the Big Ten Championships tournament hosted at the University of Indiana on Thursday, April 25, in Bloomington, Ind. The Huskers will enter the tournament as the second or first seed depending on the Michigan results against Ohio State on Sunday.

Film is an excellent alternative means of travel when purchasing a flight to far off destinations is financially infeasible. Italy was my dream to see, but three hours with Fellini was my sole experience for a very long time. By the time I did actually set foot in Venice, Florence and Rome, I travelled with recollections that preceded my observances. And afterwards, I nearly sentimentalized my daydreams as much – or perhaps even more – than my fond memories themselves. There is so much romance wrapped up in daydreams; the fantasy of being far away from reality.
Christophe Cervasel and Sylvie Ganter felt the same way while crafting their collection of Cologne Absolutes, five essential-oil based fragrances by Atelier Cologne that whisk the wearer away to places like a breakfast table filled with family on the coast of Southern Italy and a young lady's apartment in France, as she prepares for a romantic rendezvous with her beau. Christophe and Sylvie created their collection of five colognes – Orange Sanguine, Grand Néroli, Bois Blonds, Trèfle Pur and Oolang Infini – to create a moment by surrounding you in essence and in experience, much like a vacation away can do.
Experience is what precedes the quintet of Cologne Absolue. Before meeting one another, the husband and wife co-creators of Atelier each spent nearly twenty years working with fragrance – her at Hèrmes and he at Kenzo. And, as Christophe describes it, "we love fragrance forever." For Sylvie, her love affair began at the age 10 with Eau d'Orange Verte by Hèrmes because of its classical, citrusy connotations, and Christophe eventually fell for the same cologne once he had turned 13. When the two met in adulthood, they combined their mutual love of cologne and years of experience with fragrance, then added a dash of entrepreneurial spirit to concoct a new class of cologne that counteracts the more robust, flowery and commonplace perfumes that often overstock store shelves today.
Cologne isn't what you may think it is. In North America, we often mistake cologne as masculine and perfume as feminine. As Christophe explained to me, a scent's title refers to the concentrated percentage of essential oil within its blend. More specifically, Eau de Cologne has the lowest concentration of essential oil in its final formula, weighing in at four to five per cent. An Eau de Toilette has five to ten per cent, Eau de Parfum is ten to eighteen per cent, and what we call Parfum, or Extrait in French, around eighteen per cent concentration. Atelier Cologne is even more robust than that, with essential oils climbing to twenty per cent concentration.
The reason why the world's inhabitants wear fragrance, however, is universal: to smell good!
Traditionally, though, in France, fragrance is about smelling fresh. Here in North America, our preferred perfumes are much bolder, or "striking," as Christophe described them with kindness. We also tend to assign a gender to our scent, which doesn't really make sense. After all, women and men are biologically different enough for our fragrances to need not require the obvious division. Even the 'unisex' perfumes, like Calvin Klein's infamous 'One', are unnecessarily gender-free. The Atelier colognes are gender neutral and attractive on both men and women because, when applied, they smell equally fantastic – yet different – on both sex.
Male skin generally produces more oil and female skin is often warmer in temperature - both those factors affect how a scent is received. 'Orange Sanguin', for example, has notes of sandalwood that are especially noticeable on a male's skin and less so on females. On women, you're more likely to smell bitter orange whereas on men, you'll smell a sweeter aura of blood orange. Scent is personal, but not because you bought it that way – your body manages your uniqueness all on its own.
With only two brick-and-mortar stores, in New York City and in Paris, digital distribution is essential for Atelier Cologne. Approximately 25,000 stores sell luxury fragrance worldwide but Christophe and Sylvie selected only 250 locations within Europe and the North America to sell their scents. "We are having an opposite distribution plan to the big brands. We don't want to be everywhere so we carefully select the stores in which we want to be retailed", Christophe admitted. For Canadian fragrance enthusiasts, Atelier Cologne has selected ebeauty.ca to e-retail their collection of cologne, soaps and candles.
On our wish list is Vanille Insensée Cologne Absolue Spray ($190 at ebeauty.ca) a sensual scent which weaves notes of lime and coriander through its spicy vanilla basenotes. Christophe said he and Sylvie modelled it following their move from New York back to Paris, in preparation for the birth of their baby daughter. "It's all about energy - the big city and the fact that after the work, you take a shower, and go out. It's your second life." Actually, that sounds like a dream life - I'll take one bottle, please.

A Brazilian butt lift is designed to improve the size and shape of a patient's buttocks so that it fits better to the persons figure and offers an attractive, prominent rear end.
The Brazilian butt lift procedure is performed by extracting fat from regions of the body such as the back, abdomen, hips, and thighs through liposuction. The fat cells are cleansed and then the best tissue is utilized for injection into the buttocks at different depths for a natural look and feel. The end result is a rounder, fuller rear end.

The Postal Service announced on June 30 that it is now targeting a broad list of mail processing plants for its second round of "network consolidation."
The Postal Service announced on June 30 that it is now targeting a broad list of mail processing plants for its second round of "network consolidation." Though USPS is showing operating profits this year after several years of red ink, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe cited a $40 billion debt on the USPS balance sheet as a reason. Most of the Postal Service debt is to the U.S. Treasury, which it owes for the accelerated prepayment of postal retiree health costs imposed by Congress in a 2006 postal law.
Many mailing organizations, labor unions and concerned postal users have lobbied Congress vigorously for the past eight years to relax the punitive requirements, which have been set up for no other federal agency.
National Newspaper Association President Robert M. Williams Jr., strongly objected this week to the U.S. Postal Service's announcement that it would close or consolidate more than 80 mail processing facilities after January and lower service standards for Periodicals and First-Class Mail.
"We want postal reform legislation this year," Williams said. "We have looked for several years now for legislation that balances the needs of USPS, of the postal workforce and of mailers, particularly those in rural areas hard hit by the previous round of postal plant closings. We recognize that the Postal Service is a powerful federal agency that influences our advertising marketplaces and therefore must be fairly regulated. But we object to Congress's having tried repeatedly to use the postage-selling abilities of USPS as a cash cow. We are very hopeful that we will see legislation this year that strikes the right balance and that we can vigorously support it before these plant closings kick in. NNA firmly believes that mail service to rural and small-town America is critical to local economies. We will not stand by quietly when it is put at risk."

If Quinn gets the start this weekend, I am really hoping the kid has found the spark and the motivation to become a quality player in the NFL. He had tremendous talent in college and I feel like he has not really been given a chance with a team behind him. Even when he was starting in Cleveland he was always jerked back and forth between Anderson and Quinn. In Denver he never was really considered for anything.
I think we can all agree that Stanzi is just not the guy, so I hope that Quinn takes this opportunity and comes out strong. We are not out of the playoff race and if Quinn can take control and lead this team through the rest of the season, we have every reason to believe we could still make the playoffs.

Quick notes on the configured debian eabi rootfs tarball
I. Introduction
II. Download
III. What is in this rootfs?
IV. Installation steps (brief)
V. Special notes
I. Introduction
This tarball is primarily for use with the yonggun (eabi) kernel. For users of other kernels (such as Angstrom and cortez's Poky), please refer to the special notes at the end.
This rootfs can run on the internal drive, a SD card and a CF card.
The yonggun kernel has been verified to be working on C1000, C3100 and C3200 (but not C3000 as it cannot use uboot due to its limited NAND space).
Feel free to post your questions here.
Update: It is now verified that the rootfs tarball also works fine on C3000 with the Angstrom kernel. You don't need uboot at all but just flash the Angstrom kernel in the usual Flash Menu (or the "OK mode"). So skip Steps 5 & 6, and extract jpmatrix's customization tarball: tar xvf custo_c3k.tar -C /. , after extracting the rootfs and kernel modules.

Prepare an ext2/ext3 formatted media (internal drive/SD/CF) and at least two partitions (root, swap). A media of at least 1GB of memory is required.
Step 2:
Extract the rootfs tarball to the target media: tar -xjpf zaurus_eabi_rootfs_071201.tar.bz2 -C to the root level of a CF/SD(depending on which media you want to load Debian)
(NOTE: This can take *quite* a while because the extracted rootfs is almost 700MB. More patience, more joy.)
Also download and extract "modules-2.6.24-yonggun.tar.gz" from http://yonggun.tistory.com/68 to the same location.
Step 3:
Edit /etc/fstab and assign the correct mount points to the root partition and the swap partition. The default is set to boot from the internal drive. Just comment the lines for /dev/hdaX and uncomment the lines for /dev/mmcblk0pX if debian boots from SD.
Step 4:
Flash a new kernel
There are two sets of kernels to work with Debian EABI, one using the default Sharp bootloader and the other using uboot. Both work fine.
Kernel installation for Sharp bootloader
I. Get the latest yonggun kernel here: http://yonggun.tistory.com/68 (under "For Sharp Bootloader"), rename the kernel image to "zImage.bin", put it together with this at the root level of a CF/SD. Remove the ".txt" file extension before use.
updater.sh (for C3000/3100/3200) or this updater.sh (for C1000)
II. Reboot the machine into the normal Flash Menu (press [OK] before powering up/rebooting)
III. In the Japanese menu, choose "4", then choose the media, then choose "Y" to confirm.
Kernel installation for Uboot
I. Install the pdaXrom uboot (http://www.pdaxrom.org/?q=node/106)
II. Press [OK] to reboot into the uboot emergency mode.
III. Install the yonggun kernel
For all Cxx00 series: 2.6.24
by running this autoboot.sh (remove the ending .txt extension) on a SD/CF.
autoboot.sh.txt ( 430bytes ) Number of downloads: 376
IV: As soon as booting starts,
press and hold [1] to boot from SD
press and hold [2] to boot from the internal drive
press and hold [3] to boot from CF
Step 5:
First boot
Only the root account is set up: login = root; password = zaurus
Step 6:
Set the correct date and time:
date MMDDHHMMYYYY e.g. 112814002007 (= Nov 28, 14:00, 2007)
hwclock -w
Step 7:
Make the kernel modules work
depmod -a
Step 8:
Set up network connection
Set up your own network profile in /etc/network/interfaces . A sample file has been provided. After that run /etc/init.d/networking restart
Then plug in your wifi CF card if not inserted yet. If the card fails to work, either take out the card and insert in again, or run pccardctl eject 1 && pccardctl insert 1
That's it. Debian EABI is ready to run.
Run startx to launch the window manager (icewm).
Run apt-get install PACKAGE_NAME to install your desired packages.
Run apt-get update to update the package lists.
Run apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade all the upgradable packages.
V. Special notes:
Although this is a tailor-made rootfs for running with the yonggun kernels, you may still use it with other eabi kernels, such as the Angstrom kernels and cortez's Poky kernels. YMMV.
Touchscreen issue:
This tarball is primarily tailor made for the yonggun kernel. The touchscreen device is /dev/input/ts0. If you use other kernels, such as Angstrom's, you may have to change to another device, such as /dev/input/event1 (to be verified). Specify the setting in ~/.profile.
Or if you find that the touchscreen pointer goes wild, exit X and run ts_calibrate in the login shell.

That's strange. I have already extracted it twice on my Z and don't get this. Would there be something going on during the ftp transmission?

Posted on October 21, 2013
Of course, we have discussed notes which turn up in books more times than I can remember. (I WILL get this blog indexed yet!) But in the last four or five years, I have been getting more notes concerning the books themselves.
There have been such notes from the very beginning, of course. Post-It Notes are frequently to be found in or on donated books, to let me know "First Edition", "Signed", or "Books 2 and 3 of 3-book series". If it was not for these notes, I might have paid no attention to that beat-up old paperback book which turned out to be the most expensive book I checked last week. (It was a signed copy of Twilight, if you want to know how the world of book-pricing has declined. I, who have priced sheet music signed by Elvis Presley and magazines brush-autographed by Picasso, am now pricing twinkling bats. Great leaping honk.)
One of the major sources of in-book notes these days have been the online bookselling sites, especially abebooks. People are increasingly going to these sites before a donation is made, so they can check through and make sure they aren't donating any books which might help pay tuition at Window Dressing School for the grandchildren. They will enclose half a dozen pages of book prices, presumably so I will know they've done their homework, and perhaps to save me some time. I don't have to look up the price, see, because they already did the work. Since most of these seem to have been printed out two to three years before anybody got around to making the donation (it can take a while to look up prices on a thousand books), it doesn't do me a bit of good, AND it distends the hinge of the book.
This donor was Old School, though, and took her books to an actual bookseller for an assessment. The book dealer seems to have written these opinions on small pieces of paper (NOT Post-Its, which can do damage) and had this to say about the early Victorian set of books.
"Torn, Stained, Rebound. Good Only for Reading."
See, that's the kind of thing that gives book dealers a bad name. Even saying it was a bad idea, but writing it down was worse. (Maybe he DID just say it, and it impressed the owner so much that SHE wrote it down.) His meaning, of course, was that the book had NMV, as they say it: No Market Value. The result was that the book was given to the Newberry, instead of going to decorate his shelves.
Well, the books were not very beautifully bound, but the binding was certainly solid. And the title was something that immediately said "Newberry Collection" to me. The Newberry has LOTS of people who don't care what the book looks like, so long as it has the information they need. But the Newberry already has a set.
So it is mine to sell, 165 years after it was printed. The pages are not all that badly torn (I'm not sure what happened to the pages in volume 4, but what few tears there are have been neatly taped.) In fact, the pages have not even yellowed all that much: they're very good for reading. The price of a set in decent condition, according to the online pricers, is high enough that I believe I can ask $100 for the set without blushing. If it doesn't sell on Wednesday or Thursday at that price, well, as Evelyn always said "It'll be half price on Sunday." I'll take the fifty.
"Good Only for Reading", huh? That's why the customers mob the doors on opening, oh note-writer. Send over some more.

Matt Leinart doesn't seem to like Dean Cain very much.
Considering what the careers are like for both these guys, it might just be possible to get some sort of pay-per-view slap fight going on FOX.
According to TMZ, Leinart is angry because Cain recently told TMZ Sports that Cleveland Browns draftee, quarterback Johnny Manziel should be careful about running with the Hollywood crowd, or he might end up out of the NFL like Leinart.
The former NFL quarterback fired back at the former college football star and "Superman" actor, telling him via Twitter to "stick to being D list."
I wouldn't think Matt Leinart knew much about that, considering he didn't seem very good at understanding D's?
If you don't recognized that football reference, please re-examine your credentials as an American.
Leinart responded where all manly men now settle their differences -- on Twitter. Leinart wrote, "Put 7 years in, pretty sure that's 7 more than 99% of the world."
He then wrote, "Some people should stick to their day job because they couldn't cut it!" and "Stick to being D list!"
So ... is Matt Leinart saying he found a day job?
Just for the record, Cain, 47, was a defensive back who graduated from Harvard in 1988. He was undrafted but attended camp with the Buffalo Bills as a free agent signee. A knee injury derailed his football career.
Leinart won the Heisman Trophy in 2004 while leading the USC Trojans to a national championship. He was taken in the first round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Phoenix Cardinals and had what's widely viewed as a disappointing career. He played for the Oakland Raiders in 2012 and last played for the Buffalo Bills in 2013.

The perlglossary manpage is a glossary of terms used in the Perl documentation, technical and otherwise, kindly provided by O'Reilly Media, inc.
sort and to speed up some cases.
to increase the proportion of the executable file that the operating system can share between process,
and thus reduce real memory usage on multi-user systems.
Parallel makes should work properly now,
although there may still be problems if
make test is instructed to run in parallel.
Building with Borland's compilers on Win32 should work more smoothly. In particular Steve Hay has worked to side step many warnings emitted by their compilers and at least one C compiler internal error.
Configure will now detect
clearenv and
thanks to a patch from Alan Burlison.
It will also probe for
futimes and whether
sprintf correctly returns the length of the formatted string,
which will both be used in perl 5.8.9.
There are improved hints for next-3.0, vmesa, IX, Darwin, Solaris, Linux, DEC/OSF, HP-UX and MPE/iX
Perl extensions on Windows now can be statically built into the Perl DLL, thanks to a work by Vadim Konovalov. (This improvement was actually in 5.8.7, but was accidentally omitted from perl587delta).
Previously when running with warnings enabled globally via
selective disabling of specific warning categories would actually turn off all warnings.
This is now fixed; now
no warnings 'io'; will only turn off warnings in the
io class.
Previously it would erroneously turn off all warnings.
This bug fix may cause some programs to start correctly issuing warnings.
Perl 5.8.4 introduced a change so that assignments of
undef to a scalar,
or of an empty list to an array or a hash,
were optimised away.
As this could cause problems when
goto jumps were involved,
this change has been backed out.
Using the sprintf() function with some formats could lead to a buffer overflow in some specific cases. This has been fixed, along with several other bugs, notably in bounds checking.
In related fixes,
it was possible for badly written code that did not follow the documentation of
Sys::Syslog to have formatting vulnerabilities.
Sys::Syslog has been changed to protect people from poor quality third party code.
It had been reported that running under perl's debugger when processing Unicode data could cause unexpectedly large slowdowns. The most likely cause of this was identified and fixed by Nicholas Clark.
FindBin now works better with directories where access rights are more restrictive than usual.
threads::shared is available on CPAN - this will be merged into 5.8.9 if it proves stable.
$! and
$( and
now dynamically allocate memory rather than using a fixed sized array.
The fixed size array could cause C stack exhaustion on systems configured to use large numbers of groups.
PerlIO::scalar now works better with non-default
$/ settings.
x operator to repeat a
qw// list.
This used to raise a syntax error.
open pragma is no longer ignored for three-argument opens.
for (reverse @a) introduced in perl 5.8.6 could misbehave when the array had undefined elements and was used in LVALUE context.
Dave Mitchell provided a fix.
lcfirst and
ucfirst could corrupt the string for certain cases where the length UTF-8 encoding of the string in lower case,
upper case or title case differed.
This was fixed by Nicholas Clark.
unsetenv and
clearenv if present to delete keys from
%ENV and delete
%ENV entirely,
thanks to a patch from Alan Burlison.
This is a new warning, produced in situations such as this:
$r = do {my @a; \$#a}; $$r = 503;
This is a new warning, produced when number has been passed as a argument to select(), instead of a bitmask.
# Wrong, will now warn $rin = fileno(STDIN); ($nfound,$timeleft) = select($rout=$rin, undef, undef, $timeout); # Should be $rin = ''; vec($rin,fileno(STDIN),1) = 1; ($nfound,$timeleft) = select($rout=$rin, undef, undef, $timeout);
This syntax error indicates that the lexer couldn't find the final delimiter of a
?PATTERN? construct. Mentioning the ternary operator in this error message makes it easier to diagnose syntax errors.
There has been a fair amount of refactoring of the
C source code, partly to make it tidier and more maintainable. The resulting object code and the
perl binary may well be smaller than 5.8.7, in particular due to a change contributed by Dave Mitchell which reworked the warnings code to be significantly smaller. Apart from being smaller and possibly faster, there should be no user-detectable changes.
Andy Lester supplied many improvements to determine which function parameters and local variables could actually be declared
const to the C compiler. Steve Peters provided new
*_set macros and reworked the core to use these rather than assigning to macros in LVALUE context.
Dave Mitchell improved the lexer debugging output under
Nicholas Clark changed the string buffer allocation so that it is now rounded up to the next multiple of 4 (or 8 on platforms with 64 bit pointers). This should reduce the number of calls to
realloc without actually using any extra memory.
HV's array of
HE*s is now allocated at the correct (minimal) size, thanks to another change by Nicholas Clark. Compile with
-DPERL_USE_LARGE_HV_ALLOC to use the old, sloppier, default.
For XS or embedding debugging purposes, if perl is compiled with
-DDEBUG_LEAKING_SCALARS_FORK_DUMP in addition to
-DDEBUG_LEAKING_SCALARS then a child process is
forked just before global destruction, which is used to display the values of any scalars found to have leaked at the end of global destruction. Without this, the scalars have already been freed sufficiently at the point of detection that it is impossible to produce any meaningful dump of their contents. This feature was implemented by the indefatigable Nicholas Clark, based on an idea by Mike Giroux.
The optimiser on HP-UX 11.23 (Itanium 2) is currently partly disabled (scaled down to +O1) when using HP C-ANSI-C; the cause of problems at higher optimisation levels is still unclear.
There are a handful of remaining test failures on VMS, mostly due to test fixes and minor module tweaks with too many dependencies to integrate into this release from the development stream, where they have all been corrected. The following is a list of expected failures with the patch number of the fix where that is known:

I still get lots of request for this mod but it is to time consuming and expensive to do one at a time and some of the parts are hard to find anymore. So I will post this how to here so it can be found in the searches.
Parts so far.
New AGD AM/MM rail
Aluminum Single AGD trigger frame
Universal T Board kit
SMC Noid (S070C-SDG-32)
MPA3 Ram
PPS Micro Rock LPR
Remote line adaptor
The general layout I will make an aluminum sleeve for the LPR and put a bike grip on it so it will look oldschool.
After some milling on the drill press and we are looking good.
This is a shot of where the micro switch will go
I had to shorten the trigger safety arm on the trigger so I could fit the switch in the frame and get room for the ram. This part of the trigger is what activates the switch. The second pic is what it looks like inside the marker.
The dry fit and it all fits nicely.
This is what I will use to do my soldering. A portasol Butane soldering unit.
Now the layout with the lpr. I cant wait to see it with the bike grip on it.
I am working on the wiring. It is slow going but it is looking clean. Noid, microswitch, and battery terminal is good, now all I need to do is the membrane pad and LED.

NEW YORK - Columbia men's basketball rising sophomore Grant Mullins recently wrapped up a successful trip to China with the Canadian Development Team at the Four Nations Tournament. Canada went a perfect 9-0, defeating Latvia, China, and the United States three times.
Team Canada used the trip as a tune-up for the FISU Summer Universiade, which begins July 6 in Kazan, Russia. Canada will make its final roster selections for the competition this week.
Mullins spoke with gocolumbialions.com to recap his international experience.
Going to China was a great experience. One thing that surprised me about China is how popular basketball is in their country. The stadiums were huge and were packed every game so it made for a pretty exciting atmosphere.
The international game wasn't too hard to adjust to for me. Most of the rules are the same as how we play in Canada. I think the biggest adjustment was not being able to communicate with the referees. Playing with a 24 second shot clock made me, as a point guard, push the ball in transition first and, if not, be very conscious of the time. I think this made both my court awareness and transition game better.
The tour of China involved a great deal of traveling by bus and plane, but it was all worth it to see different parts of the country. We were able to meet the players and coaches from other countries as well as learn from the way they play. Not much sight seeing was done because our schedule was packed with games, practice and travel.
Although our interaction with the people of China was somewhat limited, I feel like we really experienced the country after being there for 16 days, eating their food, traveling the countryside and taking in other parts of their culture.
Coach Smith was at our training camp in Portland right before China and we had a few conversations that I believe really helped in my selection to this team. I want to thank Coach Smith and the whole coaching staff for preparing me for this experience and I think it will only put me in a better position to help Columbia be successful next season.

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band will bring its "Creole Christmas" performance to Missouri University of Science and Technology as part of the Campus Performing Arts Series.
The performance will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, in the Leach Theatre of Castleman Hall, located at 10th and Main streets on the Missouri S&T campus.
Named after the Preservation Hall in New Orleans, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band features multi-generational musicians who have studied with previous members of the band. The band works to sustain the authenticity of Dixieland music, which features trumpets, trombones and clarinets, among other instruments.
The band will perform "Creole Christmas," featuring a gumbo of New Orleans' holiday classics with a mix of blues, jazz and ragtime.
Selections will include "Swinging in a Winter Wonderland," "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas," "Bells Will Be Ringin'," and other favorites from the band's most requested repertoire.
Tickets are $35 for adults and $25 for youth ages 18 and younger. The first 75 tickets for Missouri S&T students with a student ID are free. Additional Missouri S&T student tickets are $10.
If tickets are available, the Leach Theatre will offer discounted admission through its Back Row Club one hour prior to the event. The seats in the last row of the theater will be sold for $10 each prior to the performance.
Tickets may be purchased online at leachtheatre.mst.edu or from the Leach Theatre box office, located in the vestibule inside the main entrance to Leach Theatre, facing 10th Street. Box office hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The performance of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band is sponsored in part by Forum Dental and Loren and Glenda Ross. Additional funding for the Missouri S&T Campus Performing Arts Series is provided by the Missouri S&T Endowment for the Performing Arts.
For more information, call the Leach Theatre box office at 573-341-4219.

Still processing the news of the closure of the UGO, GameSpy, and 1UP websites. As I commented to loonyboi about this, all those properties ending up in the same hands seemed to make some change in this regard inevitable, so it's not like this was completely unexpected, but having all three sites go in the same firing squad is still a little shocking. Best of luck to all of those looking for work as a result of this.
