Over the weekend, the National Rifle Association's (NRA) Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre attacked the media for "sensational reporting from Florida" about the Trayvon Martin case. Mr. LaPierre even called the news media a "national disgrace."
For those unaware of the NRA's work, it is the nation's leading advocate of gun rights in the United States. The NRA efforts are instrumental in protecting the nation's $6 billion a year gun and ammunition industry.
The NRA is also the organization that lobbied States to enact the "Stand Your Ground" law, the very one that George Zimmerman – the man who shot Trayvon Martin – is invoking as his legal defense for the shooting. I assume the reasoning for the NRA supporting these laws is: Why should you own a gun if you aren't going to have a chance to use it?
Did Mr. LaPierre offer any sympathy to Trayvon Martin's family? No.
Instead, he choose to denounce the media for their coverage of the case, alleging that the media's: "...dishonesty, duplicity, and moral irresponsibility is directly contributing to the collapse of American freedom in our country."
What makes Mr. La Pierre's comments especially callous is that they were made at the annual NRA convention which was being held this weekend in St. Louis, Missouri. St. Louis has the unenviable distinction of being the city with second highest rate in the country for youth being killed by guns. Indeed, the gun shot murder rate for 10 to 19 years old in St. Louis is more than three times the average for larger cities according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The NRA leadership should not have been denouncing the media coverage of the killing of an innocent teen, rather they should be focusing their efforts to work with federal, state and local governments to reduce the number of gun related deaths in our nation. In 2010, there were 12,996 murders and of those 8,775 were caused by guns. That means almost 70% of those murdered in 2010 were as a result of gun violence.
It is not happenstance that the States with the highest number of guns also have the highest number of people murdered by guns. To put it simply: You are literally five times more likely to be shot to death in Arizona than in Hawaii.
Guns are a part of the fabric of America. There are over 200 million guns in the US. They will never be eliminated-nor should they be. The right to bear arms is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. Indeed, the US Supreme Court in the last few years has recognized that American citizens have a constitutional right to keep and bear arms for lawful purposes and this right cannot be violated by federal, state or local laws.
Despite knowing this reality, some gun advocates prefer to spew misinformation and inspire fear among gun owners that the government is coming to take their guns away. This is nothing more than a rallying cry used by some to scare people into opposing reasonable laws that could save lives, such as background checks for all people purchasing guns even if sold at a gun show or by private citizens.
The tired cliché espoused by the NRA that "Guns don't kill people, people kill people" should be retired. It is an over simplification of a problem that doesn't have easy answers.
Reducing gun violence will take a concerted strategy, such as the one New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced in February with his initiative to reduce gun violence. This multi-faceted program combines funding for communities to create anti-violence strategies and provides State support for both advertising campaigns and community-based programs to counter gun violence. This is certainly a step in the right direction.
There's no doubt that both those who love guns and those who destest them, want to lower the number of people killed by guns each year. However, comments by the NRA's Wayne LaPierre simply do not help us reach our common goal.

"What? All this state-of-the-art military hardware and all you do is peep in on girls like common voyeurs?"
"Thats pretty nice coming from someone who does Yuri scenes on her own concert." Ben said, not taking his eyes off the road.
Her head whipped back to face him, "Yuri?! Why-" He spared a glance from the road to her as she stammered. She was caught by surprise by his blatant accusation, her face, at first blushing fiercely, contorted to a scowl while he looked at her. Ben straightened his face, sensing he might have let slip a smirk. "Look," she started again as she crossed her arms, "That's purely professional and it's all holograms and mirrors anyway. It's just all part of the script for the two bunnies to both be played by me, it's important."
"Why? So you can french kiss yourself?"
Sheryl cast her gaze back to the road, nose cast upward, "You're completely missing the point, it's a metaphor for two sides of the same personality."
"I get that," Ben replied, "But you know it's a little hard for people to appreciate the message when everyone is too distracted by the Sheryl on Sheryl foreplay. I mean, seriously, how do you come up with this?"
Sheryl shrugged, her tone softened, "Some of it actually wasn't my idea."
"Ah, and there's the truth," Ben said, sparing another glance to her, noticing her head was tilted down now, "It's all just pure marketing."
"It is marketing," Sheryl said as she directed her voice at him, and it carried in the relatively small cabin, "I'm a professional entertainer, and I won't get anywhere if I don't keep a finger on the galaxy's pulse to see what people like."
"All that and all you've figured out is the age-old adage that sex sells. How far are you willing to go with that? Are you going to keep pushing that line? Just another step further in the next concert? The next music vid? You know I've seen a lot of them, and you already have some stuff that borders on a full-blown striptease."
The tone of her voice hinted at another blush. "I never show everything."
"Not yet anyway, just copious amounts of skin, your ass, and how much lust you seem to have for yourself," Ben let that sink in a moment before he went on, "Some professional you are with that high class sense of morality."
She was silent for a long moment though Ben felt his nerves suddenly go on edge. This was not a silence of remorse, but a silence of rage. "And what about you?" she asked him coldly, "I'm guessing by that Valkyrie and the look in your eyes that you're a professional soldier, and that means what you do is a lot of killing."
Ben slammed the brakes, causing the Camaro to shudder and wheels to stutter while the anti-lock brakes struggled to keep traction. Ben fiercely whipped his head around to face Sheryl as she straightened herself out from the sudden stop. Ben silently glared at her, somewhat angry being accused of being a heartless killer. Sheryl, although was slightly surprised by Ben's reaction did not back down from his glare.
Ben narrowed his eyes at her. He refused to be the first to back down, but he could read in her eyes that she was just as stubborn. Fortunately there was an out. "We're here," Ben said.
"What?" Sheryl broke the stare to look around. The entrance to her hotel was barely half a block further down the street. "You're going to let me off here?"
"There could be paparazzi," Ben said, finding it a reasonable excuse, "Do you want people to see you coming back to your hotel late at night in a strange man's car?"
Sheryl tapped her chin a moment in thought. "No, I suppose not," she pulled down the visor mirror and checked her hair in the dim streetlights before she at last unbuckled, opened the door and stepped out of the car, Ben watching her the entire time, closely, and with a frown. Despite the entire tone of the conversation, Sheryl nevertheless stuck her head in under the doorway to give him one of her unusually bright smiles, "Thanks for driving me back, Ben."
Ben fought a quick mental battle to keep that smile from disarming his frown. "Sure," he said flatly. With his answer she closed the door, then moved quickly to the sidewalk while Ben made his departure.

Several prescribed burnings scheduled in Central Oregon next week
by Bend Weekly News Sources
CENTRAL OREGON -- With temperatures predicted in the 80's next week, several project areas on public lands identified for prescribed burning are "coming into prescription" and fuels technicians are preparing their drip torches for ignitions starting as early as Monday next week. These burns are planned on National Forest or BLM lands near the communities of Bend, Sunriver, Sisters and La Pine.
The "Kiwi Pine" and "Klak" burns are 145 and 246 acres, respectively, and both are on the Deschutes National Forest. The Kiwi Pine burn is located close to Century Drive approximately two miles southwest of the Inn of the Seventh Mountain and seven miles west of Bend. The Klak burn is located approximately four miles southwest of Sunriver, just west of Big River Day Use Area and north of Bates Butte along Forest Road 4220. The burn
objective is to reduce hazardous fuels; the Kiwi Pine burn is adjacent to the Bend Community Wildfire Protection Plan and the Klak burn is located inside the Upper Deschutes Coalition Community Wildfire Protection Plan.
The Redmond Hotshots may assist with this burn as available. The ignition date is expected to occur on Monday, April 21. The project will take from one to four days to complete with mop up and patrols. Smoke may be visible from the City of Bend and may impact Century Drive (46), and Forest Roads 41 and 4220. Nearby communities and subdivisions that may be impacted include Bend (seven miles), Sunriver (six miles) and River Meadows (two miles). Residual smoke is expected to last in this area for several weeks.
The "Highway 20" burn on the Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest, is a 143-acre burn located three miles NW of Indian Ford Ranch and ¼ to ½ mile northeast and southeast of Highway 20. Burn objectives are to reduce tree stand densities and fuel loads and to mimic the historic role of frequent and low intensity fire into the area. The area was previously treated by thinning and handpile burning; this is a first entry underburn to be conducted by Sisters Ranger District fire personnel, Sisters Oregon Department of Forestry personnel and other fire personnel from Central Oregon Fire Management Services.
Nearby subdivisions include Indian Ford Ranch three miles to the southeast and scattered private residences one to four miles to the northeast. Ignition is expected on Monday, April 20, or Tuesday, April 21. Project duration is one day, with mop up continuing for two-three days. Patrols will continue overnight and through the weekend as necessary. Flaggers will be utilized as needed along Highway 20; however, burn bosses will attempt to minimize any impacts to the highway.
The "Little Deschutes Tract" on the Prineville District BLM is a 300-acre planned burn located next to the Little Deschutes River in La Pine, four miles east of La Pine State Park and north of the State Rec Road. The burn area is in a large wet meadow with encroaching lodge pole pine. The objective of this burn is to rejuvenate the sedge, rush and grass habitats in the meadow and reduce the amount of trees encroaching into the meadow. Nearby subdivisions (Sun Country Estates and Whispering Pines subdivision) are located within ½ mile of this burn. Smoke is expected to be visible on Highway 97 and the State Rec Road and is anticipated to settle along the river during the evening hours. This project is expected to take one day for ignition and two-three days for mop up and patrolling.
Motorists should reduce speed, turn on head lights and proceed with caution when traveling through smoke-impacted areas. Potentially affected subdivision residents are advised to close doors and windows to prevent smoke from entering dwellings. Forest visitors should avoid traveling through burn project areas, as any trees weakened by the burn may fall and
burning stump holes can cause significant burns to those who step into them.
Prescribed burning is implemented during optimal weather conditions at times that favor the best smoke dispersal possible, in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Forestry Smoke Management Program.
For further information on the Little Deschutes Tract Burn, contact Dennis Fiore at (541) 647-9010; for the Highway 20 burn, contact Amanda Rau at (541) 549-7860; for the Kiwi Pine and Klak burns contact Shannon Evans at (541) 383-4706.
Detailed maps showing all the project areas on public lands identified for fuels treatment in FY09. The maps will be available soon on the Deschutes & Ochoco National Forest website at http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/centraloregon

Electric Tankless Water Heater for 2 Bath Home
- Unlimited Supply of Hot Water: Keeps heating water instantly as you require. The Tempra(tm) system completely replaces a conventional tank heater with no disruption to your comfort and hot water needs.
- Saves Energy and Reduces Your Electric Bill: Electric tank type water heaters are subject to stand-by losses which amount to 15 - 20% of the kWH used. Changing to a tankless system results in savings of 15 - 20%.
- Control Temperature Simply by Setting a Dial: Set the knob on the front cover and enjoy water temperatures between 86 degreeF (30 degreeC) and 125 degreeF (52 degreeC). Change the desired temperature at anytime. Advanced microprocessor technology ensures that the water temperature never deviates from the set point.
- Sleek Design Saves Space: The Tempra(tm) takes up considerably less space than conventional tank type water tanks and saves valuable living space.
- Proven Reliability: Stiebel Eltron has an enviable track record of engineering excellence and product quality. The three years parts warranty is unique in the industry. You can depend on the Tempra(tm) for many years to come.
- Tempra 24 vs. Tempra 24 Plus: The Tempra 24 Plus expands on the Tempra 24 (this model) by adding a pressure balancing feature to the unit. Should a unit be hooked up to more than one application, for example, a shower and a kitchen faucet, the demand for hot water may occasionally exceed the capabilities of the tankless water heater. Should this occur when using the Tempra 24, the water temperature will go down. Should this occur when using the Tempra 24 Plus, the unit will properly lower the cold water pressure to compensate for the demand, resulting in a total drop in water pressure at the shower and kitchen sink faucet, but temperature remains constant.

Posts Tagged 'CCIE Wireless'
After talking with a few people within Cisco here in RTP there seems to be a growing demand for Wireless CCIE training. The problem they brought up is that there isn't any real options on the market other than the offerings from FastLane. A couple companies have advertised support and taken orders for the new Wireless CCIE 2.0 but never actually delivered on the products.
If there is enough interest for Wireless CCIE workbooks, ATC style videos, rack rentals, etc then I'll look into getting something released. Worst case we could put together a community based solution with INE providing Wireless CCIE racks at no charge for anyone supporting the community and very reasonably priced for others.
Here is a link to the Wireless CCIE Syllabus on Cisco's site for those who are unfamiliar with the Wireless CCIE.

'Un-sis'. repackages the theme,then you can manually drop it into your themes folder via mass storage/data transfer.
This then bypasses installation,certificate problems and that horrible problem of themes disapeering!
A ) Download Unsis for 3rd Edition
B ) Take the usb cable for connecting phone to pc
1. Install and open unsis
2. choose "Open SIS" on bottom left
3. choose the theme you want to reinstall
4. click on "Extract"
5. few seconds (some times more ) it'll be "Completed"
6. you can now close the program
7. go into installation folder (usually C:/Unsis)
8. there should be e a folder called "Temp"
9. inside you should find "private"-> "10207114"-> "import"-> "some folders (just one ifyou extracted just one theme) with different names (numbers and letters in most of cases)"
10. go inside the folders and search the one of the theme you are intereted, there'll be 4 files:
a ) NameOfTheFolder.ini
b ) NameOfTheTheme.mbm
c ) NameOfTheTheme.mif
d ) NameOfTheTheme.skn
11. ok? now, don't close this folder and connect phone to pc using the usb cable or use a card reader
12. choose "mass storage" or ''data transfer''. Note: you can also insert memory card into a memory card reader
13. find the folder called "private" . If you don't see it, you need to choose the visualization of hidden files and folders
14. in the "private" fodler, find "10207114" folder and then "import" folder
15. in "import" there are your themes, here you should find the themes you installed into memory card
16. don't close this folder and come back to the folder where you exctracted the theme with unsis
17. just click "back" so you can see your folder selected into the "import" folder
18. choose all the folder and select "copy"
19. go back to the "import" folder into the memory
20. right click and make "paste"
21. here we are, now your theme is in the memory

Hi All,
As you will see further below its been a great week for getting some old JCM friends back featured on the site. The Wispa Gold returned, Heavenly Cakes caused mass cake-envy all round and finally J-List today got their seasonal stock of chocolate back up on their site.
Cadbury Wispa Gold - See HERE
Heavenly Cakes Fruit & Nut Bar - See HERE
Indeed it was an exciting week with Halloween and now this weekend we have Guy Fawkes night ... be safe with those fireworks you lot :D ).
I'm currently in conversation with Hotel Chocolat in regards to the Christmas range samples they will be sending over for review this year. If there is anything in particular you wish to see done, or anything not Hotel Chocolat you want to see reviewed then please drop me a note on the Request Page or in this post today.
Remember to also visit the news page this weekend - I'm trying to get in to the habit of updating it Friday afternoon so you all have the chance to contribute your own stories you find so please have a wander over and get versed with the latest chocolate goings on this week.
Thanks for the contributions you guys continue to make to the site - the ChocolateMission bandwagon rolls on for yet another week :D
SNACK OF THE WEEK ..... a new part of '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' which will feature any manner of snacking product I have been products munching on in the week
Oreo Chocolate Bar Chestnut
Kcal ??? Fat ??? Carbs ???
It was my intention to bring you some kind of Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night themed post today but the snack I had in mind turned out to be a little dreadful and not one I wanted to promote as Snack of the Week. Luckily my pals at J-List sent over some of their latest chocolatey snacks and sweets. For the third time this week we have yet another return for an old Chocolate Mission friend.
With so many bits and pieces in the package received I didn't have a clue where to start with it all, but I eventually chose this chestnut flavours Oreo Chocolate Bar. My longer term readers may remember me reviewing a number of different flavours from this range before - Original/Strawberry (See HERE), Green Tea (See HERE), Dark (See HERE) and Coffee Caramel (See HERE). This Chestnut flavoured variety provided much the same experience as many of those did and combined a milky sweet chocolate offering with small bits of lovely, crunchy Oreo biscuit dispersed throughout. The enhancing chestnut element was disappointingly incorporated as a flavouring rather than in nut pieces, however with that said the creamy, buttery yet savoury nuttyness it brought to the party stretched the basic flavour depth of the chocolate and came across as a welcome praline type influence. This bar wasn't the best of the Oreo Chocolate Bar range I have tried, but it proved itself to be a very welcome addition to a mid-afternoon coffee and was in a handy shape for dunking action :D Oreo fans will no doubt enjoy this bar.

Puzzling Polynomials and Quizzical Quadratics
Lesson 1 of 15
Objective: SWBAT solve to find the exact answer to quadratic equations and will determine the best method for solving a quadratic equation.
Big Idea: Review polynomial operations with NCTM's polynomial puzzlers and then practice solving quadratic equations by moving through stations.
To help students do a quick review of polynomial operations, I am going to have them complete some polynomial puzzlers as a warm-up and as homework. I found these puzzles on the Illuminations website of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics which has so many great activities, lessons, interactive applets, and interesting articles. Check out this link to this specific lesson on polynomial puzzlers. Although the concept of polynomial multiplication and division should now be quite routine for our students by their senior year, I still see students make the very common typical mistakes; for example, when multiplying binomials they multiply only the first term to the first term and the last to the last but then miss their middle terms. So I am hoping that by having this structure of the puzzle that students will catch their mistakes and have plenty of practice with multiplying and dividing polys for homework.
First present page 2 of the flipchart to students and demonstrate how the polynomial puzzlers work. So basically each row and column is multiplied and the product is put on the right (for rows) or bottom (for columns). On page 3, students text in their answer to this very basic puzzler. This is just to see if they get how to solve the puzzlers. Now for the actual warm-up problem on page 4, students should text in their answer for the bottom right corner. This will insure they have solved every section of the puzzle. While students work on this, I will now do my beginning of class routines.
Resources (2)
Closure: Cliff Notes Jr.
Preperation: Students will need an index card for today's closure.
To close out today's lesson, present page 5 of the flipchart and have students complete a Cliff Notes, Jr. It is important for students to take a few minutes to summarize all the review they just had and to formalize an individual plan for how they will attack solving quadratic equations in this class. I plan to remind my students again here about Math Practice 7: Look for and make use of structure. I want them to include in their summary how the structure of a quadratic equation can affect the method of solving we choose.

Very pleasing to the ear.
Reviewer: Alex Palm City FL US
Have heard several excerpts from this CD and it is excellent. As a consumer it is very pleasing to the ear, very spiritual. As a musician I found it to have great depth and talent - very well written and composed. Not the typical neo-chant drivel one has been finding in this genre. Groovy stuff.
Exciting Masterful Album
Reviewer: Dave the Schtick - At One Yoga USA
Im excited to share the music of Ambika Devi. Its the perfect music to put you in the zone when needing to meditate, make love, or make love while meditating. Trancey, delicious, beautiful, masterful. The album is called Enchantment and is brand new on the Invincible Music label. If you are looking for meditative music, expertly played, superbly produced, with exceptional vocals, then you need look no further.
Party of a Yoga Album!
Reviewer: Sat Nam Phoenix AZ
Amy Ford AKA Ambika Devis album Enchantment is a rarity in yoga music. It mixes a plethora of styles: Buddhist, Native American, Sikh and Hindu chants with unique instrumentation like didgeridoo. The result is a fun, upbeat, danceable party of a yoga album.
The stories and mythologies of many cultures fuel my creative endeavors. To the gods and goddesses of these pantheons, I give my heartfelt thanks and am forever devoted. It is through the blending of cultures and integrating of many styles of music that I wish to bring peace and acceptance to all nations of this planet. I pray that this music enlightens consciousness through the weaving of boundaries and the blending of cultures. My belief is that when we taste the food of another culture, sing words from their language and dance to their rhythms, we are able to let go of preconceived ideas and fully embrace them in love. May this music bring you joy and put a wide smile upon your face. May the beat of the drums move through you and inspire you to dance. May the blending of these musical flavors bring a sweet taste to your psyche and greater awareness and acceptance that we are all one tribe. OM, Ashe, Aho, Sat Nam! With Love and Peace, Enjoy! - Ambika Devi
2. White Tara / Tibet White Tara is the mother of all Tara energy and is seen as the feminine manifestation of the Buddha. She is the mother of liberation. Her color white represents all the colors of the rainbow. She has seven eyes. Two in the face, one is in each palm of the hands, one on each sole of the feet and a wide-open third eye. From White Tara sprung all of the other Taras in their rainbow colors. This sacred mantra was spoken softly to me by ZaChoeje Rinpoche just one time. I wrote it out, repeated it back and vowed to do right by him. It is with deep gratitude that I share this mantra with you. Ask Tara your most heartfelt wishes and she will guide you to find them. Chant to White Tara and live a long, healthy life full of serenity.
3. Elegua / West Africa Elegua comes from the West African Diaspora. He is a messenger able to cross boundaries and is also known as Hermes, Mercury, Thoth and Kokopeli. This trickster is the keeper of gates and crossroads. In Bembe celebrations he is the one who is sung to first as he opens the door and removes obstacles for us, much like Ganesha in the Hindu tradition. To vex him is to ask for trouble. I am smarter than that, having known him as a teacher for many years! Ashe Elegua!
4. Fire and Water / Original in the Native American Spirit This is the only chant in this collection for which I am responsible for the words and music. My shaman friend Serge Runningwolf Martel suggested adding the names of Mother Earth: Wakan Tonka and Father Sky: Tunkashila from his native language. When I did he smiled and chuckled, Yes, now that sounds good! I offer this chant to all beings of the Earth. I dedicate the soothing sounds of this chant to the spirit of Serge who has since passed on to the next dimension. May the sweetness and gentleness of this chant comfort you and take you to a peaceful place.
5. Om Namah Shivaya / India My second chant to Shiva. This mantra is a way to say I honor the divine essence by literally saying In your name Shiva. I prayed to find a unique way of singing this mantra by meditating in front of a beautiful painting I have of Lord Shiva each day. One morning when I came out of the meditation, I picked up my electric guitar and asked out loud So Shiva, what does your song sound like? What he sang to me is this version of his honoring. Sing praises to Shiva with me and experience the glorious vibration of his divine name!
6. Great Spirit / The Americas I use this very sacred chant to Great Spirit to attune seekers to Reiki energy. I sing it in sweat lodges and chant it over large groups of people for chakra balancing. Together we glide easily into deep meditation on its profoundly soothing sound. Here I sing it through seven times to honor each of the seven main chakras and the seven horses which draw the chariot of Surya the Sun deity across the sky each day. I sing it seven times to honor the seven directions, the seven eyes of the White Tara and the seven stars of the Pleiades. May Great Spirit come to you when you chant this and bring you peace and deep healing.
7. Sat Kriya / Kundalini Yoga and Sufi My friend Stephanie handed me a tiny piece of paper folded in half with this mantra on it. She said Maybe you will sing it and make it into a chant. In a very short time I began to sing this melody. Months later I was invited to play and chant for a yoga class. The teacher had the students perform an exercise called Sat Kria which uses the chant Sat Nam for energizing the whole body and raising the Kundalini. I spontaneously began to chant and play the melody over top. The structure of this chant formed itself on the pranayama exercises practiced by the yogis that day. Sat Nam is a mantra most commonly used in Kundalini Yoga. It is frequently spoken as a greeting among Sikhs similar to the use of Namaste in India. Sat Nam symbolizes truth as the divine energy. It is said to mean perfect truth and creates a knowing of ones identity. In Sanskrit Sat Nam literally means a bowing to that which truly exists. Honor yourself and all beings as you bow to their magnificent energy while chanting this potent mantra.

Music became medicine for her that day. Yoga became as familiar as breathing. Many great masters and teachers have provided her rich education and she has been a teacher of peace, harmony, healing and love both on and off the mat since the age of seventeen.
In the 80s, Ambika Devi retreated from teaching asana and turned to chant and meditation as her preferred course of study and teaching. During this time she perfected her pranayama through vocalization. Ambika Devi began to study West African style drumming after being in the presence of Babatundi Olatunji, who offered her his drum to play on. Baba became her primary teacher followed by Sanga of the Valley, his lead drummer. A progression of numerous Master Drummers from around the world followed. Amy found herself in many recording studios laying tracks for numerous artists.
Since the age of fourteen, Ambika Devi has performed with bands playing many styles of music including: Kirtan, Rock, Jazz, Latin and Reggae. Her bands toured through the United States and Mexico entertaining at resorts and parties while she worked solo as a visiting artist for Yoga classes, lead Moon Gatherings, Spiritual Circles and conducted workshops. Ambika Devi continues her work as an Urban Shaman weaving Vedanta philosophy into every aspect of her service teachings and healing sessions with groups and individual clients.
Amy Ford received the Sanskrit name Ambika Devi and title of Yoga Siromani through the Yoga Vedanta Forrest Academy. The goddess for whom she is named is a fiercely passionate guardian of the earth. Ambika Devi believes the way to honor our connection to the Earth Mother is through our sadhana, our daily practices. She teaches that to be inspired in our expression we must begin with our breath. Her favorite way to do so is through the practice of Mantra.
Ambika Devi continues to travel sharing her deliciously powerful healing voice as she teaches Classical Yoga, Mantra, Meditation, Yoga Nidra and dance. As a Reiki Master she uses toning to attune her students. As a Yoga and dance teacher, she sings her classes into bliss. As a performer she spreads love from her heart with the magic of her drumming and vocals and as a healer she aligns the energy of her clients with the strength of her vibrations through drumming and toning. You may contact her to engage her for groups and personal sessions.

With apologies to the 1980 Cleveland Browns and 1967 Boston Red Sox, it looks like it's time to anoint the 2010-11 Toronto Maple Leafs the NHL's "Kardiac Kids." If you walked away early from the games Saturday against Boston and Monday night in Washington, you missed the two best Leafs' finishes of the season. The fact that they won both games is exciting, but they showed a huge amount of character both times – and that's something that has been most certainly lacking in a massive number of Leafs' games this season.
In 1980, with Brian Sipe taking the snaps, the Cleveland Browns won (and lost) several games with very little time left on the clock. They earned the Kardiac Kids nickname. Those Browns lost an AFC Divisional Playoff Game at "The Mistake by the Lake" – Cleveland Stadium – to the Oakland Raiders. The 1967 Red Sox went to the World Series – but lost to Bob Gibson's St. Louis Cardinals – after coming back in an inordinate number of regular season games. By all accounts, Leafs' fans do not expect a playoff opportunity in April 2011. But an honest effort every single game should be demanded.
In that respect, a corner may have been turned. Assistant GM Dave Nonis gave Ron Wilson's charges a bit of a motivational pep-talk on Friday at practice. It seems something may have sunk in. And it may have really sunk in with Mikhail Grabovski. Not that Grabo is having a bad season, but someone with that much pure offensive talent MUST shoot the puck more.
He did in Washington. A blast from the high slot started the Leafs' comeback in the third. And then that ridiculously athletic, highlight-reel, shootout-goal-of-the-year won it for Toronto. A guy with a shot like that has to use it. Everywhere he can. Whenever he can. Ron Wilson may want to get him more than the 2:41 of power-play time he had in D.C.
And, either way, the Washington comeback is just not possible without Jonas "Confidence-out-the-Wazoo" Gustavsson. After his less-than-stellar outing last week against the Oilers, The Monster did all he needed to do in Washington, including a game-saving shootout stops on Alex Ovechkin, Mathieu Perreault and Alexander Semin. Tough for the Leafs to lose a shootout when their guy doesn't let any in.
A constant barometer of any winning team is their success rate in one-goal games. The Leafs have just bagged two of those in three days. After the game, Rogers Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos said that the Leafs engineered both comebacks because, late in the game, Toronto is less uptight when it's trailing.
That may be the case, but no team can succeed making a living as the Kardiac Kids. Right now, with Grabovski hopefully shooting more, and The Monster stoning the opposition, the Leafs need to transition into the "Play-with-a-Lead Kids." Wednesday, against Sid the Kid, would be a good time to start.

2006 has turned out to be quite the year for vidgame adaptations of classic '70s and early '80s films. First came "Godfather," then "Jaws," and now "Scarface," an epic tale of guns, money, and a twisted quest for the American dream. Sierra Games' "Scarface: The World Is Yours" is all about the surface appeal of guns and money. It shows that when you strip "Scarface" of its heart and soul, you end up with… well, "Grand Theft Auto."
Vidgame starts off with Tony Montana surviving the shootout at the end of the film. This fundamentally changes the nature and meaning of Brian DePalma's film, of course, but immediately demonstrates what the videogame is all about. It's influenced more by hip-hop's embrace of the movie than the movie itself.
This embrace has turned many young men in the core gamer demo onto the 1983 film, recently reissued on DVD in a nifty bit of cross promotion between Universal and Sierra Games, owned by Vivendi Games.
Marketing-wise, the pic's demo appeal makes a vidgame adaptation a no-brainer, but the result is so transparently crass that those who have any appreciation for the movie may want to wash their hands after playing. "Scarface: The World Is Yours" is so focused on Tony Montana's bling-bling lifestyle and his penchant for calling everyone and everything a series of unprintable insultat that it doesn't have even a hint of depth to it. (Something that, the snobbery of many critics aside, the best vidgames have in spades.)
As "GTA" clones go, though, this is certainly a good one — an irony given that many have pointed out how heavily "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" draws on "Scarface."
Storyline, in which Tony tries to rebuild his drug empire, is a solid excuse for gamers to race around the city on missions earning money, setting up fronts, and eliminating enemies — all the basic elements of "GTA" and its many rip-offs.
The 1980s Miami setting has a distinct feel influenced by the film that rises above the generic inner city milieu of many games. Controls are well designed, missions are challenging, if often repetitive, and there's a fun option that lets Tony build up his "balls" by taunting enemies as he riddles them with bullets. A full "balls" meter lets players go on an invincible rampage. (Joe Lieberman would probably not be a fan.)
Game was not released on next-gen platforms and as a result the graphics are adequate, but not impressive. Sierra recruited a name voice cast including Robert Loggia, Ice-T and Tommy Chong to mixed results. Some do excellent work but others, like James Woods, are so recognizable that it takes players out of the game world. Andre Sogliuzzu, the voice of Tony, channels Pacino almost perfectly.
"Scarface" rises above the almost unplayable "Jaws Unleashed," but doesn't quite match EA's "Godfather: The Game." The "Godfather" adaptation was flawed, but at least it attempted to capture the tragic, operatic elements of the film. "Scarface: The World Is Yours" draws more on the rapper named Scarface than the movie.

Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel spread a little goodwill this week (begs28Jan13) by visiting children's hospitals while promoting their new movie Safe Haven.
The stars, who play lovers in the new romantic thriller, stopped by the Children's Medical Center of Dallas in Texas on Tuesday (29Jan13) and posed for pictures with patients.
They also sat down for a special radio interview which was broadcast throughout the hospital, answering questions from youngsters receiving treatment there.
Hough and Duhamel continued their whistle-stop tour the following day (30Jan13) at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, where they met with sick kids and their families and signed autographs.
Hough took to her Twitter.com to share photos and videos from both events, writing, "Loved our visit to (the hospital) today! Everyone was so amazing!"

Volume 78 - Number 48 / May 6 - 12 , 2009
West and East Village, Chelsea, Soho, Noho, Little Italy, Chinatown and Lower East Side, Since 1933
Mixed Use
By Patrick Hedlund
Soho strong, Village hurting
Soho and Tribeca boast the most expensive rental units in the city, according to an April market report from The Real Estate Group of New York.
In an analysis of the prices of doorman and non-doorman units, the two Downtown neighborhoods topped the list for all apartment types across the board.
In Soho, average monthly rents for doorman studios ($2,714), one-bedrooms ($4,630) and two-bedrooms ($6,864) outranked all other Manhattan neighborhoods.
In Tribeca, average rents for non-doorman studios ($3,020), one-bedrooms ($4,304) and two-bedrooms ($6,818) also bested every other submarket throughout the borough.
Since April 2008, prices for all doorman units in Soho have risen 2.25 percent, while prices for all non-doorman units in Tribeca have slid slightly by 0.28 percent.
In Greenwich Village, the average price of all non-doorman units dropped by nearly 8 percent compared to the previous year, while the price of all doorman units fell by more than 2.5 percent.
The East Village was particularly stung by plunging rents over the last year, with the average price of doorman units slipping 15 percent and the price of non-doorman units down almost 8 percent.
Have hookah, will travel
East Village nightspot Le Souk, which for years has been a thorn in the side of its Avenue B neighbors, has moved west to the heart of the Village with plans to open anew this summer.
The hip hookah bar, which endured constant noise and traffic complaints from neighbors living near the E. Fourth St. space, will reopen near the corner of Bleecker St. and LaGuardia Place by mid-June, Eater.com reported.
On Avenue B, Le Souk suffered from a series of citations from the State Liquor Authority before having its liquor license revoked.
Now, the North African-themed club will reportedly take over the former Horus Lounge at 510 LaGuardia Place, featuring three levels and a 300-person capacity.
Susan Stetzer, Community Board 3s district manager, said neighbors around Le Souks former location have reported that horn honking has recently decreased.
However, the clubs operators are still in court appealing the revocation, and Stetzer said Le Souk still has a lease on the East Village space.
Regardless of the outcome, Stetzer said it was her board, not the S.L.A., that had to enforce the revocation when the club continued to operate after having its license stripped.
Whatever the procedure is, its appalling that this can happen, she said of the agency failing to act on its ruling. We should have agencies dealing with licenses and enforcement. It shows why the community boards are so overburdened.
With anticipation growing in advance of the High Lines planned June debut, project co-founder Robert Hammond will discuss the ambitious park-in-the-sky during a question-and-answer session with the real estate community and local architect/developer Cary Tamarkin.
Tamarkin, whose Downtown projects include the 11-story condo building 456 W. 19th St. across the street from the High Line, said hearing about the park from one of the two men who spent the last decade working to bring it to fruition is integral to understanding the former railways benefit to the city.
It takes sitting with him and really understanding what hes doing before you really get excited about it, Tamarkin said about discussing the project with Hammond, who co-founded Friends of the High Line with Joshua David in 1999. Im a very active guy in the community and real estate world, and I still didnt have a real sense of how exciting this would be until I started developing [nearby], Tamarkin said.
The builder will join Hammond at the Wed., May 6, event, from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at 515 W. 20th St., seventh floor.
Whats amazing about it is the anticipatory energy that it brings to the area with a public project of that scale, Tamarkin, who has developed extensively in the West Village and Chelsea, said of the elevated park. Its like nothing Ive ever felt before.
The High Line indeed has proved to be a boon for West Chelsea developers, who stand to capitalize on residents access to the park, although questions of its use remain to be determined.
Some people have asked me if its just going to be a long, skinny strip of grass, Tamarkin said, noting that theres pace to it.
The questions are definitely out there, he added. Its up to those guys to show us their stuff.

Justin Ignored When He Arrives In Hong Kong For His Tour — Is Bieber Fever Fading?
Poor Justin — not only is he sick, but he gets no love from his overseas fans!
Justin Bieber is used to girls fawning over him, but when he arrived in Hong Kong on May 11, there were a mere seven fans waiting for him at the airport! Is Bieber fever fading around the world?
Justin, 17, was surrounded by a swarm of security guard, but there were only a handful of admirers waiting at the airport, the South China Morning Post reports.
According to the paper, Justin — who has been sick recently– moved swiftly through the terminal, "looking grumpy and walking straight past the small group of fans as they yelled out his name."
Ultimately, Bieber fever returned to the city, as his sold-out May 13 stadium concert won him rave reviews.
No matter who greets you at the airport, we still love you, Justin! And we're sure your girlfriend Selena Gomez is a big fan too!
— William Earl

E-update From the Desk of Governor Scott Walker
One of the most important duties I have serving as your Governor is to provide you directly with updates related to the operation of our state government. I also frequently provide updates on Facebook (Governor Scott Walker) and Twitter (@govwalker). Please feel free to share this update with your family, friends, and others who may be interested in state government operations.
Honoring Our Veterans
Last Saturday, the final Wisconsin Honor Flight of the year took more than 200 Wisconsin veterans to Washington, D.C. for the day to see the WWII Memorial and other historical sites. Thanks to the great work of five individual Honor Flight groups in Wisconsin, the Badger Honor Flight; the Freedom Honor Flight; the Never Forgotten Honor Flight; the Old Glory Honor Flight; and the Stars & Stripes Honor Flight, hundreds upon hundreds of Wisconsin veterans were able to travel to our nation's capital this year on nearly 20 Honor Flights, at no cost to the veterans or taxpayers.
In the past, I've had the amazing opportunity to see some of these flights depart and personally thank these extraordinary heroes, and it is something I will never forget. Anyone who has participated in a welcome home celebration or watched it on the news knows how heartwarming and powerful it is to witness these men and women receiving a true "hero's welcome" for their service and sacrifice as they return home on an Honor Flight.
As we prepare to recognize Veterans Day on November 11, we salute these remarkable heroes and thank them for their service, along with all of Wisconsin's service men and women. We also thank the Honor Flight organizations and all the volunteers and donors associated with these groups for making such a special day possible. To learn more about an Honor Flight organization near you, please click here.
Beyond just the honor flight, I'm looking forward to spending time with Wisconsin Veterans at the Union Grove Home this weekend. I always enjoy visiting with veterans and talking with them about the experiences they had while serving.
Deer Hunting Update
Opening day of the nine-day deer season is right around the corner. Wisconsin's hunting tradition makes our state a global deer hunting destination. In order to keep the tradition alive, we need to share stories and the experience of the hunt with the next generation. This year, I am urging hunters to introduce someone new to hunting. We've made it easier and cheaper for new individuals to try hunting—first-time hunters can now try out the sport at a discounted rate by purchasing a First-Time Hunter's License through the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). For more information on the discounted license or on any hunting related questions, call the DNR's customer service call center at 1-888-WDNR INFO (1-888-936-7463). Highly trained DNR customer service representatives are available 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. to answer any questions.
Our culture and collective respect for the state's natural resources draw deer hunters to Wisconsin from all over the globe. Since many people don't have private places to hunt, we are developing opportunities by opening private land for public hunting. This year, hunting opportunities have been expanded through the Voluntary Public Access (VPA) program, which now has 43,000 acres of private land open to hunting, up about 29,000 acres from last year. VPA land is open to the public for multiple purposes, including hunting, and doesn't require permission from the land owner prior to use. Visit www.dnr.wi.gov and search keyword "VPA," for detailed, user-friendly maps of all the properties enrolled in the VPA program.
After hearing reports about how difficult it was to find information on certain parcels of land, I asked the DNR last month to map all land that is open to the public for hunting and other purposes. This week, I was proud to announce a web-based mapping tool aimed at helping users find privately owned land open for specific recreational activities. To access this mapping tool, visit the DNR web site at www.dnr.wi.gov and type "MFL open land" in the Keyword field.
I hope these resources will be helpful as you consider planning a hunting trip.
I will be one of the hundreds of thousands of hunters looking to get a deer this year. Going hunting feeds our traditions, feeds our families, and feeds our economy. Have a safe and fun 2012 deer season.
Get to Know a Cabinet Member: Cathy SteppAs Governor, one of the most important tasks I have is to appoint and communicate with leaders in each state agency. These leaders, called secretaries, ensure agencies run smoothly and efficiently as they operate state government and implement government reforms. For a few weeks, in lieu of the "Just Ask the Governor" section, I will be highlighting a cabinet secretary and providing a brief overview of the department he or she oversees. I hope these updates will provide you with practical information about state government operations, especially as we head into the next budget cycle.
As the first woman DNR Secretary, Cathy is doing a fantastic job leading the agency. She manages more than 2,500 permanent employees throughout six divisions within the DNR. She oversees a total agency budget of about $550 million.
In 1998, Gov. Tommy Thompson asked Cathy to serve on the Natural Resources Board and to bring her private sector experience to the Board. From 2002 to 2006 she served as Racine's state senator, acting as the Chairman of the Senate Committee Job Creation Committee and Co-Chair of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee. Beyond these stints in public service, most of her experience has been in the private sector. As a former homebuilder, Cathy understands Wisconsin's regulatory climate and how it directly affected small business owners.
After enjoying her first deer hunt last year, Cathy made it a priority to get more women and kids involved in hunting and into the outdoors. During the past two years, she tried her hand at bass fishing, banding loons, musky fishing, and learned more about the behind the scenes work of the DNR's wildlife biologists by locating newborn elk calves and bear cubs.
Under Cathy's leadership, the DNR concentrated on improving customer relations and streamlining and simplifying permitting processes. Cathy knows job creation and environmental protection are mutually supportive. Just this week the DNR officially launched the Office of Business Support and Sustainability to provide proactive business support.
Cathy enjoys Wisconsin's snowmobile trails each winter. She also hunts turkeys in western Wisconsin and is proud of the tremendous hunting opportunities our state offers to residents and tourists. She enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, Paul, and two children, Hannah and Mitchell.
School Report Card Suggestions
In last week's e-update, I asked for feedback on Wisconsin's new school report cards (which can be accessed by clicking here). Below is a listing of some of the responses I received, which I'll consider as we work to replicate the success of schools that are exceeding expectations and help underperforming schools improve:
It has been a pleasure communicating with you. It is an honor to serve as your Governor and represent the residents of Wisconsin.

Out and about: Ama-san in Osatsu
The ladies of Mie offer the freshest catch in town
What makes the pursuit of fantastic and original cuisine so enticing is that it's inseparable from the unique culture in which it was conceived. In an era where nearly everything that we dine upon is primly packed, shipped, and plainly arranged to follow the path of least resistance to the consumer, somewhere in the recesses of our consciousness we're aware that what our palate is experiencing is no mere accident. Someone, somewhere was in a position to conjure up a flavor or a dish because it made sense given a situation and resources and people cross cities, states, provinces, mountains, nations, and oceans with their sights set on tasting "the real thing".
For many, one early morning excursion to the Tsukiji fish market followed by a sushi breakfast in the charmingly rustic shitamachi is an authentic enough experience of Japan's culinary obsession with the treasures of the sea.
However, for the inquisitive and adventurous, I can point to about 1,000 women in Mie who can further satisfy your appetite.
To this day, in the small fishing village of Ōsatsu in the southern port of Toba City, Mie prefecture, nearly 1,000 fully active and hard-working ama-san (海女さん – literally "sea woman") forage for the ocean's offerings the old-fashioned way – by diving for them, leaving the air supply at home.
While the distinctive white garb and physically demanding practice have history in some other isolated regions of Japan, as well as in Korea, Toba City (including Ōsatsu) is the home to nearly half of the roughly 2,000 active Japanese ama-san – a significant figure in a city with a population of approximately 20,000. Put simply, 1 out of every 20 people in the city (roughly one out of every 10 women!) spends a good 2 hours in the frigid ocean waters most mornings foraging the key constituents of the local diet. The a.m. session was for a long time followed by a bit of rest in the ama-koya, or "ama hut", with a second outing, once rejuvenated. Nowadays, dives are limited to just one in the morning, partially for safety reasons, but primarily because there are other options for the working woman today. Indeed, most of the ladies pursue other activities in the daytime. Somewhat unique for a fishing village, there's a reasonable spread of rice paddies which allow for local farming in conjunction with the diving.
The other reason for the more "relaxed pace" may well be the fact that most ama-san are in their 60s and 70s, with the oldest active divers in their mid-80s. A handful of up-and-comers are in their early to mid-20s, though. While certain scenes in Ōsatsu may feel frozen in time, these hard-working ladies on the front line are combating the same social issues as the rest of the nation. One can easily forgive them for limiting their active duty to a "mere" morning dive. That said, with the village gradually making its way into the public eye, and with a surprising number of young women now actively seeking to succeed their mothers and grandmothers in the trade (the opposite of the trend we're seeing in Japan's struggling farming industry), it's entirely possible that the vitality of a new generation of ama-san may bring about an entirely new image and lifestyle for women and the local fishing industry.
Don't expect these ladies to don diving gear anytime soon, though. While "protecting tradition" and suppressing certain costs associated with gearing up may be the obvious reasons, the major factor is more simple: balance. The natural limitation placed on the divers in these conditions places a natural limit on just how much can be caught on any given day during any given season. It's this balance that has sustained the city and the culture for generations, and the people of Toba see it as the key to continued sustainability for generations to come.
What does this have to do with your insatiable appetite? Well, where there's a congregation of individuals partaking in a unique and impressive, but largely extinct cultural practice, you'll also often find open arms welcoming the curious traveler – particularly when there's food involved! So it is in the ama-san village of Ōsatsu, currently making the push for recognition as a 'Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity'.
Although a significant step up in terms of comfort compared to the real thing, a special ama-koya has been constructed specifically for those adventurous individuals who wish to dine only on the freshest morning catch, consisting of freshly grilled sazae, a form of conch or "sea snail", abalone, as well as the occasional ise-ebi (a member of the lobster family).
It should be noted, however, that while it's common for clams, scallops, and squid to also appear on the menu, these can't be classified as part of the "ama-san catch", as these are left alone by the brave divers. In fact, the primary target for ama-san is seaweed and sea grasses, including ise-hijiki, wakame, as well as awame, a particular variety of kelp which can only be found in local waters, typically only used in local Mie and Kyoto dishes. The varieties of local kelp and seaweed are most commonly prepared boiled or stewed with combinations of soy sauce, sugar, and mirin, often becoming part of soups.
The experience as a whole is most certainly one worth seeking out, as a comforting veil of both vitality and mystery seems to hang low over the waterfront village. Although technically a tourist attraction, the ama-koya offers a chance to get one step closer to the cuisine of local waters than you'll find just about anywhere else, and the its location far down the oceanfront jetty will conjure a sense of discovery in even the veteran explorer. It's worth noting that the real ama-koya are not open to the public – the coals burning there are used primarily as a heat source for the small enclosure rather than for preparing meals.
In Japan, quality seafood is never hard to find, but those with curious taste buds and who long to know just where their meal is from would struggle to do better, even in Tsukiji, making the ama-koya dining experience one you'd have a tough time duplicating just about anywhere.
Special thanks to Asami Murata for the photos and wealth of additional information.

Assignment: Support escaped slaves in Mauritania
iREPORTS FILED
iREPORTERS SIGNED UP
Created March 13, 2012 by
Mauritania was the last country in the world to abolish slavery. The government denies it exists, but an estimated 10 % to 20 % of the population still lives in slavery, as detailed in CNN's special report.
It may seem like little can be done to end slavery in this West African country, but you can be part of the solution.
A school in Mauritania's capital teaches about 30 escaped slaves to sew, cook, braid hair and dye fabric. The hope is that these women and their children one day will open their own businesses.
Anti-Slavery International has set up a special donations page for the training center.
iReport is also collecting messages of hope to show the women that we support them in their fight for freedom. A selection of your video messages will be shown in the school. They may also appear on CNN.
Here's what to do:
1. Watch the example video to hear a Mauritanian man say "Nahana maakum," which means "We are with you" in Hassaniya, the language these women speak. It's pronounced "nah-hah-nah / ma-ah-koom."
2. Practice saying the phrase a couple of times. When you feel comfortable, begin recording your video. Start by saying the phrase: "Nahana maakum."
3. Tell us your name and where you live (city and country).
4. Share a message of your own. Say whatever you'd like to tell these women. You could tell them you support their fight for freedom or that you want all people in Mauritania to be free. Your message can be spoken in whatever language you choose, but preferably in English.
5. End by saying the phrase again: "Nahana maakum."
6. Keep your video to 30 seconds or less.
Click through the iReports below to watch a few examples. And check back for updates. We'll let you know when the women in Mauritania have received your messages of hope.

Blackboard Application Systems, Blackboard Systems and a Knowledge Engineering Perspective
The first blackboard system was the Hearsay-II speech-understanding system (Erman et al. 1980), which evolved between 1971 and 1976. Subsequently, many systems have been built that have similar system organization and run-time behavior. The objectives of this document (a part of a retrospective monograph on the AGE Project currently in preparation) are (1) to define what is meant by blackboard systems and (2) to show the richness and diversity of blackboard system designs. In Part 1 we discussed the underlying concept behind all blackboard systems -- the blackboard model of problem solving. In order to bridge the gap between the model and working systems, we introduced and discussed the blackboard framework. We also traced the history of ideas and designs of some application systems that helped shape the blackboard model. In Part 2, we describe and contrast existing blackboard systems. Blackboard systems can generally be divided into two categories: application systems and skeletal systems. In application systems, the blackboard system components are integrated into the domain knowledge required to solve the problem at hand.

SAVANNAH, Ga. - King College wrapped up the 2011 Boombah Smash Hit Softball weekend Sunday with a pair of setbacks, a 6-3 against the University of Rio Grande (Ohio) and 2-1 versus host Savannah College of Art & Design.
Against Rio Grande, King posted all three runs in the sixth. Cassie Ringstaff (Richlands, Va.), Shauna Haga (Blountville, Tenn.) and Kendall Brabson (Bean Station, Tenn.) each had a RBI in the frame. Ringstaff and Haga's RBIs came on singles while Brabson had a sacrifice fly.
The Lady Tornado had another hit in the inning and the only other single for King was in the fourth after the first 10 batters were retired in order.
Rachael Wilmoth (Morristown, Tenn.) was tagged for the loss.
Rio Grande's Anna Smith went all seven innings and struck out three. Marissa Lennox went 3-for-4 and scored two runs as the team scored a run in six of the seven innings.
SCAD scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth which proved to be the difference.
Christy Kooch (Knoxville, Tenn.) put King in front with a second-inning home run to start the frame.
Aubree Hutt (Bristol, Va.) finished the game 3-for-4.
Samantha Watts (Nashville, Tenn.) had a shutout going until the sixth. She finished with the two runs on seven hits and struck out three.
Lisa Williams tossed all seven innings for SCAD and scattered seven hits with seven strikeouts.
No walks were issued by either pitcher.
Courtney Mienkina had two hits to lead the SCAD offense.
King, at 3-9 on the season, travels across the state line to play Virginia Intermont College a 3 p.m. doubleheader Tuesday.
