Scooters are now packed and just about ready to go. Friday morning they will be put in the back of a truck and shipped to Spain, so we are now working on overdrive to get the remaining bits ready. There are still a few bits and bobs that we need to scavenge, but we are just about there. Somehow we have managed to fit it all into the very limited space we have.
At the time of writing we have counted 2364 items, big and small (riding gear, parts, consumables, fuel, oil, camping gear, medical equipment, tools, toiletries, clothing, racks, panniers… everything!). Still, there are a few more bits to be counted, and a few that we won't even bother counting (like general fasteners, etc). There are also still a few items that remains to be weighed, though most already have. At the time of writing, the added load comes in at over 211 kg, and we are still weighing!!!
This is added weight is considerable, and will massively affect handling, performance, fuel consumption, and durability of our scooters. We estimate that in the end, each scooter will be carrying more than 75kg in addition to the rider. It's like having a passenger from hell that refuses to lean into bends or get off when we tip over or get stuck in sand. Even getting the scooter on and off its center stand is proving difficult already, and we have not even loaded the 20 Liters of spare fuel, and the six or seven liters of oil each scooter is to carry!
So, how much of this will we need? As for spares, tools and medical equipment, hopefully nothing. We don't expect to consume more than a few tires, hoses, spark plugs and a few cables… and maybe a couple of vital parts. The only problem is that there are so many vital parts that can fail, and we just don't know which are the ones to go bust. So, we need to bring just about every vital part that there is a small inkling of probability that can break. As for the rest, well there is not much – only one change of clothing for instance (hopefully we will be able to wash them frequently en-route)…
In due time, we will clean up our packing list and publish it here on Bamako By Vespa. There is considerable research and thought that goes into making a list like this, and the list may be useful to other scooterists that plan to make similar trips in the future.

On April 19 we posted Kay Miller's poignant Star Tribune profile of Adnan Shati, the refugee who escaped Iraq under sentence of death, moved to Minneapolis, and has not returned to Iraq for sixteen years. In the article, Adnan eloquently mourned the loss of his father and expressed concerns about the safety of his surviving relatives in Iraq. Marine Colonel Thomas Waldhauser, a native of South St. Paul serving in Iraq, read the story online and was moved to locate Adnan's family. Today Kay Miller updates her profile with a glimpse of Colonel Waldhauser and greetings from the family: "Marine colonel helps Iraqi expatriate in finding family."
HINDROCKET adds: This is a great story, but the Trunk was too modest. He was the one who knew about Adnan Shati, and put the Strib reporter on to the story. So he is really responsible for this Iraqi family being reunited. Here is an email that the Strib reporter, Kay Miller, sent to the Trunk:
"I really feel I have you to thank for what has become a lovely story. Adnan and Stephanie are just wonderful human beings. And Col. Waldhauser's note just knocked me over. As you undoubtedly know from your web site, the connections you can make because of the internet are a constant source of amazement. At any rate, thank you so much again for everything.
Hats off to Trunk, Power Line and the internet!

Quick update:
Current storm is bringing snow to most Utah mountains right now. As of 10:30 AM… the Cottonwoods have seen between 5-8″ of snow with a few more inches possible before the storm winds down this evening. Monday will be a break before the next splitting system moves in Monday Night. Models have been consistently backing off on precip for this system so I don't expect more than 4-6″ Monday Night – Tuesday Night in the Cottonwoods with Park City seeing 2-4″. Hopefully the models will trend back up on QPF but I'm not optimistic. A few showers should linger on Wednesday before we get a break for the end of the week. Lots of uncertainty for next weekend as models still disagree but it looks likely that we'll see at least a bit more snow. Stay tuned . . .
Snow's great . . . Enjoy the skiing/riding!
Previous discussion:
Our below-average snowpack came back to bite me as an exposed rock was responsible for a minor fracture in my hip earlier this week. So I'm out of the ski game for a few weeks but that means I'll have even more time to devote to checking models, discussions, and climo forecasts and coming up with our own Utah-specific snow forecast for all of you who are still healthy enough to enjoy it.
A promising trend has developed in the last few days in most major models…. The ridge that has kept us mostly high and dry for the last couple weeks is now progged to retrograde into the eastern pacific and allow a series of cool, but weak systems to drop down the back side of the ridge. The first of these systems will split for the most part as it enters the area late on Saturday giving us some light accumulations in the mountains (best guess is 2-4″ above 6,500 ft). Another system is scheduled for Monday/Monday night and perhaps another for late Wednesday.
While confidence is not high beyond Tuesday, it does look like this pattern will continue for quite some time with small systems every couple days, dropping several inches each. This obviously isn't an ideal pattern but it's better than no snow at all. Also, this is a step in the right direction, if the ridge continues to retrograde we may be in for some more substantial systems toward the end of the month.
There are some great signs out there that the storm door could swing open toward the end of February. MJO is in Phase 7 and forecasted to continue moving through some favorable areas in the next few weeks. PNA and AO forecasts look halfway decent as well. I'm not going to bore you with the details of what these are or what they mean, but it's worth just mentioning why I think we may be in store for a good end to the month and possibly a snowy March. CPC long-range forecasts are also in consensus with the idea of troughing in the west in week 3 and 4 (last week of Feb and first week of March). This is all so far out that there is no confidence in any details but its still fun to take a look at what the overall pattern may look like.
At least we'll (you'll) be able to enjoy some fresh snow over the next 7 days even if it is just a few inches here and there. Stay tuned and we'll let you know when the big dumps are looking more imminent.

Hey yay! Thanks for the shout out! My garden is looking better since I took the arugula out . . . but then the bugs found my kale. This year I did some strategic planting by placing bitter arugula (hoping bugs wouldn't like it and as it turns out neither did my farmer) next to my tender kale, swiss chard and spinach. Well it worked! The bugs couldn't find the good stuff and were fooled by the bushy, weed-like arugula. However I couldn't take the overgrowing arugula and yanked it out last week right after I took the picture of Happy Cat . . . and the bugs were delighted to find my kale. How is your garden coming along? Still need a goat?
Can't believe I've been missing out on your Friday Favored!

If you dye your hair and want to get truly glossy hair, you probably have a tube of the conditioner that came with your package of hair color. According to the instructions, you are meant to use most of that tube after your initial coloring. The rest you save for a weekly rinse out treatment until the tube runs out.
However, I found that if you put a dab on your freshly washed hair (about 1/4 teaspoon) and leave this conditioner in, your hair will really shine. I do this every time I wash my hair and have received compliments from strangers that come up and ask me what I'm using. I'm not saying this conditioner will do the same thing for you. The texture and condition of your hair probably have a lot to do with the way this will work.
My hair is dyed close to my own medium brown color, a normal texture with no radical processing like others that switch from dark to light. For example, my mother has thick, coarse hair and does not see any benefit from this like I do.
Still, what do you have to lose if you dye your hair? You probably have a tube of this conditioner around so why not put it to the test for yourself. I call it "magic cream." Maybe, my new hair miracle will be yours too!

Firework injures fans during Dodgers-Giants game
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Police say several people suffered minor injuries when a fan threw a firework onto a walkway at the San Francisco Giants ballpark during a Dodgers-Giants game.
A loud bang was heard around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, with smoke visible above right-center field.
Witnesses reported seeing a man in a Giants hat in the outfield bleachers throw a large firecracker into a group of people near a concession stand. At least five people reported injuries, including dizziness and temporary loss of hearing.
Police spokesman Gordon Shyy says 21-year-old Paolo Pavone was arrested and booked on suspicion of willfully discharging and possessing an explosive, and discharging a firework in a public place.
The Giants beat the Dodgers 2-1.

Graz University of Technology (AUSTRIA), the University of Stuttgart (GERMANY) and the University of Sheffield (UNITED KINGDOM) have accepted the invitation by the 30th General Assembly on 20th October 2017 in Budapest and thus joined our network as of 1st January 2018.
In their acceptance speeches, these new Members said they appreciate our efforts delivering true and tangible value, such as unrivalled access to and exchange with networks of staff in like-minded institutions, a compelling and united voice for universities of science & technology, an attractive range of annual events per annum and many more.
Already in 2016, our Association decided to change the admission procedure for new Members from ´open application´ to ´by invitation only´. Moreover, our Articles of Association after amendment on 13th September 2017 no longer differentiate between categories of Members. As a result, we warmly welcomed Technion - Israel Institute of Technology as full Member.
This is another milestone in CESAER's ongoing reforms aiming at bringing focus to the work of our network and strengthening our membership base. In a large member consultation during summer 2017, Members re-confirmed the general direction of the reforms of our Association and largely provided feedback on the proposed Strategy 2025, herewith testifying their collective determination to further our Association and determining priority areas.
We are delighted that these three outstanding universities are joining our European association of leading, doctorate-granting specialised and comprehensive universities of science & technology that champion excellence in higher education, training, research and innovation. Although our membership will remain focused and limited in the years to come, we might carefully consider, select and invite new Members that can add value to our network also taking into account the geographical coverage in countries where we are underrepresented.

Are the Detroit Tigers going to be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline? The answer could shift the MLB odds for Wednesday's matinee against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Jason's 2015 record as of July 28: 36-27, plus-9.63 units ML; 0-3, minus-3.30 units Total
Ah, there's nothing like a mid-week matinee baseball game during the summer. Well, it would be nicer if it weren't being held indoors at Tropicana Field. And we have to dance around the MLB odds a bit for Wednesday's game (12:10 p.m. ET) between the Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit Tigers. They have yet to play Game 2 of this three-game set as we go to press, so keep an eye out for injuries – and trades.
Justin Case
We're not quite sure whether the Tigers (48-51, –6.41 units going into Tuesday's action) are going to drop ballast before Friday's non-waiver trade deadline. The latest buzz is that Detroit is refusing to give up on 2015, and may in fact be in the market for a starting pitcher. Either way, we may or may not see Justin Verlander (5.35 FIP) make his scheduled start on Wednesday.
Verlander is trying to work his way back into All-Star form after starting the season on the disabled list with a strained right triceps – his first-ever stint on the DL. It hasn't been going well; Detroit has lost all seven of Verlander's games this year for a deficit of 7.21 units, although there have been three quality starts along the way.
Archer of Loaf
The Rays (50-51, –3.31 units) just can't seem to get their engine started this year, but at least they took the first game of this series, beating Detroit (+108 away) 5-2 in Monday's opener. That moves Tampa within 3.5 games of a Wild Card spot in the American League, one game up on the Tigers. Will the Rays stand pat at the trade deadline? Or will they move some pitchers in exchange for some hitters? Nobody knows.
If a trade is made, rumor has it Tampa will sacrifice a reliever or two, so Chris Archer (2.62 FIP) seems very likely to make Wednesday's start. Archer been one of the very best pitchers in the majors, but the Rays are just 12-9 in his 21 appearances for a profit of 0.51 units, giving Archer a mere 3.71 runs per game in support.
Fantasy Corner
Despite Tampa's mediocrity at the plate (No. 14 overall at 11.5 WAR), we have to go with some Rays hitters in this situation. 1B/2B Logan Forsythe (.814 OPS) is only owned in 32% of Yahoo leagues at press time, and while he doesn't have any history against Verlander, Forsythe has been hot over the past two weeks, going 12-for-30 with a pair of homers and a 1.200 OPS. Maybe that'll be enough to make the Rays a worthwhile MLB pick on Wednesday – but again, check the newswires for ongoing developments, and may the sphere be with you.

text: May 16, 2016, AVALON, CATALINA ISLAND – The Catalina Island Museum Silent Film Benefit, May 21, presents a unique opportunity to view two silent comedy classics in the historic Avalon Casino Theatre. The films, "One Week" starring Buster Keaton the "Great Stone Face," and the all-American boy next door, Harold Lloyd in "The Kid Brother" will feature musical accompaniment by the highly acclaimed Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra. The Catalina Island Museum recently sat down with Rodney Sauer, founder of the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, to discuss the group's upcoming performance. An excerpt is included below. What is the function of the score for a silent film? The score is telling the emotional story of the film. Silent film acting is a different style, sort of balanced between acting and ballet. The best actors can convey a mood or an emotion with a remarkably subtle change in expression, or even just a gesture. You'll notice this particularly with Harold Lloyd in "The Kid Brother." It's the job of the music to push that emotional feeling along. If you watch this movie in silence, or with an incompatible score, it really doesn't work as well. Silent filmmakers knew the importance of music, and how it could take a good film and make it either an excellent or a terrible one. For the screening of "One Week," you are debuting a newly compiled score to accompany the recently restored version of the film that we are screening. Is that correct? If so, please tell us more about this. The Buster Keaton short films were widely popular, and distributed all over the world. But the surviving prints are often incomplete or damaged. We will be showing a version of "One Week" that was restored by Lobster Films, using the best surviving parts of the best surviving prints. This film is part of Lobster Films' project to restore all of Buster Keaton's silent short films. We recorded several scores for the project, though "One Week" is not one of them. So this new "alternate score" from Mont Alto will only be heard at live performances, and this is our premiere! Mont Alto was formed in 1989. Each member is very talented and has enjoyed individual success. How were the members selected? There's been some turnover through the years, but the current roster has been stable for about a decade. These are all excellent classical players, excellent sight-readers, excellent chamber players, and people with a real love for this lost repertoire. We also get along together well, socially and musically. I have never played with better, more dedicated musicians in any ensemble, and I really enjoy my time in the pit with these folks. This style of music is a conversation between the five of us. As a group, you have performed at some of the most prestigious silent film festivals in the country. Is there a favorite performance or event that stands out in your mind? We love playing at the Castro Theater as part of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival: the large and enthusiastic audience, the historic architecture, and the high-quality projection combine to create a really wonderful experience. We recently have appeared twice at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood for the Turner Classic Movies festival, and that also is a beautiful historic theater that suits our playing very well.

Hunter Boots Promo Uses January Forecast as Photo Inspiration
Hunter's Together Through Any Weather app aims to engage Facebook fans by reminding them winter weather is the perfect occasion to wear -- and photograph themselves in -- boots.
Hunter's Together Through Any Weather app aims to engage Facebook fans by reminding them winter weather is the perfect occasion to wear -- and photograph themselves in -- boots.
U.K.-based brand Hunter Boots has launched a new Facebook app, Together Through Any Weather, to accentuate the positive during nasty winter weather and engage its boot-wearing consumers.
The app gives Hunter's 67,000 fans the chance to win a prize each weekday through January based on the daily London forecast, which is depicted prominently in the Today's Forecast section within the app. Fans are asked to create, capture and upload their own photos based on the daily weather theme. Each day, Hunter will select its favorite image. The creator of that photo will be awarded the featured prize.
Although the weather featured in the app is based on the London forecast, fans around the world can enter, regardless of their own local weather conditions.
An Inspiration Wall on Facebook features images of previous fan uploads should users need ideas prior to submitting their own photos.
"While Hunter Boots is a British heritage brand, we hope our fans across the world embrace this campaign and get creative with their entries," said Marketing Manager Michelle Noschese in a prepared statement.
Hunter worked with social media agency We Are Social on the campaign.
According to We Are Social, the app is designed to raise awareness of the brand at the time of year when many countries experience their most extreme weather conditions, as well as to drive engagement levels within the brand's Facebook community.
"January is a key time of year for us, with people looking ahead to the rainy months to come, as well as coping with the current weather conditions," Noschese added. "One of the few good things about a rainy day is that people get to wear their Hunter boots, and We Are Social used this insight to deliver a campaign that lets our fans have a bit of fun with the weather."
Hunter has 67,000 likes on Facebook.

Justin, Martyr
· 2nd Century: Justin was born around 100 AD (both his birth and death dates are approximate) at Flavia Neapolis (ancient Shechem, modern Nablus) in Samaria (the middle portion of Israel, between Galilee and Judea) of pagan Greek parents. (The Book of Revelations was written about 95AD.)
· Among the Fathers of the second century his life is the best known, and from the most authentic documents.
· a pagan origin (polytheism of the Roman times)
· He was brought up with a good education in rhetoric, poetry, and history. He studied various schools of philosophy in Alexandria and Ephesus , joining himself first to Stoicism, then Pythagoreanism, then Platonism, looking for answers to his questions.
· he walked one day along the seashore at Ephesus he met a mysterious old man who pointed out the weaknesses of the Platonic system, He showed Justin how the Old Testament predicted the coming of Christ; but it was seeing the courage of the Christian martyrs that finally convinced him, the conclusion of their long discussion was that he soul could not arrive through human knowledge at the idea of God, but that it needed to be instructed by the Prophets who, inspired by the Holy Ghost, had known God and could make Him known
· "When I was a disciple of Plato", he writes, "hearing the accusations made against the Christians and seeing them intrepid in the face of death and of all that men fear, I said to myself that it was impossible that they should be living in evil and in the love of pleasure" (incest – called each other "brother and sister", cannibalism – body and blood of Christ, atheists – not accepted by Jews, accused of creating a God to avoid the Roman gods).
· Converted: two aspects of Christianity that most strongly influenced St. Justin;
o its moral beauty and its truth.
o "Straightway a flame was kindled in my soul," he writes, "and a love of the prophets and those who are friends of Christ possessed me."
· a lay missionary and teacher (continued to wear the robe that was the characteristic uniform of the professional teacher of philosophy.), preaching the doctrine of Christ and defending it as the highest and safest philosophy. He used philosophy as a tool to spread orthodox Christianity
· An apologist (defender of the faith)
o Explain the Christian faith (he was convinced that they were persecuted because they were not understood)
o Convince pagans that Christian is the true religion
o Convince Jews that Christ is the Messiah
o Much of what we know of early liturgical practice comes from Justin.
o His position was that pagan philosophy, especially Platonism, is not simply wrong, but is a partial grasp of the truth, and serves as "a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ."
· St. Justin was arrested on the charge of practicing an unauthorized religion. condemned to death by the prefect, Rusticus, towards A.D. 165, with six companions, during the persecution of Christians by Marcus Aurelius
o We still have the authentic account of their martyrdom from the official Roman court proceedings of his trial before Rusticus, a Roman prelate, document his confession of faith. The account of his martyrdom became a source of great encouragement to the early Christian community.
"The Prefect Rusticus says: Approach and sacrifice, all of you, to the gods. Justin says: No one in his right mind gives up piety for impiety. The Prefect Rusticus says: If you do not obey, you will be tortured without mercy. Justin replies: That is our desire, to be tortured for Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and so to be saved, for that will give us salvation and firm confidence at the more terrible universal tribunal of Our Lord and Saviour. And all the martyrs said: Do as you wish; for we are Christians, and we do not sacrifice to idols. The Prefect Rusticus read the sentence: Those who do not wish to sacrifice to the gods and to obey the emperor will be scourged and beheaded according to the laws. The holy martyrs glorifying God betook themselves to the customary place, where they were beheaded and consummated their martyrdom confessing their Saviour."

S a rare thing that Americans look at Europe with envy. But in recent weeks, more than a few policymakers stateside have been turning a rather violent shade of green. Over the course of the summer, US economic data has been weakening, while Europe is seeing something of a revival as worries about stress tests and Basel III proposals float away.
And as the economic situation in Europe has picked up, so has investors' confidence. According to the Bank of America-Merrill Lynch's August Fund Manager Survey, global asset allocators turned positive on Eurozone equities for the first time since November 2009 with a net 11 per cent overweight. Global growth worries have instead been refocused towards the US and Japan.
But does this mean that retail investors looking for exposure to European equities through listed products have missed the boat?
Despite improvements in European stock markets over recent weeks, valuations are still appealing.
Matthew Gilman, associate strategist at UBS, points out that the current 12-month forward price-to-earnings (p/e) ratio is still just 10.3 times compared to 12.4 times at the recent market peak in April.
Oliver Kelton, co-manager of the Waverton European fund, adds: "European equity market valuations remain at historically low levels and the current recovery in corporate earnings offers attractive returns going forward."
And institutional investors have been putting their money where their mouths are – UBS European flow data for the week ending 6 August also showed a return to positive territory, reflecting the recent pick-up in investors' risk appetite and the move into cyclicals, says Gilman.
Indeed, net buying of cyclicals has reached its highest level since UBS started tracking the data in 2006 as investors piled into capital goods stocks, miners and banks over the past month and out of healthcare and industrials. Last week Stoxx 600 ETFs received almost €200m of inflows, according to data from Deutsche Bank's ETF team.
Exchange-traded fund (ETF) investors can either choose to buy funds that give exposure to the whole European stock market or to specific Stoxx 600 sectors for a total cost of around 0.3 per cent.
So should ETF traders still be adding to their cyclical positions or should they be scaling these back and returning to the relative safety of defensives?
Well, historical data shows that cyclical sectors tend to outperform during periods when the euro is strong relative to the dollar while technology, healthcare and personal goods sectors are more likely to underperform. Research by Citigroup strategists reveals that financials and resources stocks are likely to be among the top beneficiaries of sustained euro strength against the dollar while technology and healthcare are forecast to be held back.
But with the euro appearing overpriced against the dollar, it might well be time to scale back on those cyclical ETFs and start rebalancing your ETF portfolio towards those defensives.


text: Hey all, i hope this is the right forum to post this. This is the story, it's kinda involved; The internet on my PowerBook G3 OS 9.2 wasn't working properly so i was experimenting with the settings to see if that would help. I opened up "startup disk" in which you can restart disks and the like. In Startup Disk was something called "Network Disk" I chose to restart that to see if it would help. I pressed restart and a window popped up saying restarting the network disk may take a few minutes longer than normal restart. I clicked OK and the computer restarted. This is where i encountered the problem, instead of restarting normally the computer instead just runs the loading screen for hours on end. This screen: I tried holding down option key while rebooting and the same thing happens. I've zapped the pram and it's still just loads on that screen. I left it restarting all night and in the morning it was still loading that screen. Can anybody suggest what might be wrong and how to fix this? I really need help on this. Thanks.

Aruba, located in the southern Caribbean, lies just 17 miles north of the coast of Venezuela. An arid, desert-like island, Aruba has predictably warm and sunny weather and is not affected by hurricanes that plague the islands further north and the cities along the Gulf of Mexico.
Aruba is a part of the Netherlands and you'll find Dutch spoken there as well as Dutch colonial architecture, food and customs. Most of the major resorts are located on the western shore of the island, along Palm Beach. The best of these are affiliated with hotel chains, but don't discount them. The services and accommodations are superior and the setting is lovely. Some of the best places to stay are:
Marriott Aruba - Arguably, the best hotel on the island, the 376-room Marriott is home to Aruba's largest casino and offers a variety of wedding packages. Choose to get married along the beach, under a flowered archway in the tropical garden, or in the resort's ballroom.
Hyatt Regency - Also located along Palm Beach, the 360-room Hyatt has a full service spa, six restaurants, property-wide WiFi, and a variety of romantic spots for an island wedding.
Couples planning an Aruba wedding will have plenty of help. Both properties offer on-site wedding planners for couples getting married at the hotel or enlist the services of a destination wedding specialist, such as the experienced and friendly agents at Destination Weddings.com.

Journalist Reese Erlich, author of "The Iran Agenda," spoke to a San Diego audience November 17 about the prospects for a U.S. attack on Iran. He exposed the lies being told to justify sucn an attack but also suggested the U.S. government might be backing away from the brink.

Stopping America's Next Imperialist War Reese Erlich Calls for Mass Opposition to U.S. Attack on Iran by MARK GABRISH CONLAN Copyright © 2007 by Mark Gabrish Conlan for Zenger's Newsmagazine. All rights reserved. In 2003, independent journalists Reese Erlich and Norman Solomon published a book called Target Iraq, both an explanation of why the Bush administration was so intent on invading Iraq and a last-ditch attempt to help spark a mass movement to stop it. On November 17, the two men were re-teamed — sort of — at the Joyce Beers Center in Hillcrest, in a meeting sponsored by Progressive San Diego that presented Erlich in person and Solomon on film, in a documentary called War Made Easy based on a book Solomon wrote and published in 2005. The theme of both Erlich's talk and Solomon's film (actually directed by Loretta Alper and Jeremy Earp but featuring not only interviews with Solomon but original footage of many of the public statements cited in the book that helped "sell" Americans on the wars against Viet Nam, Grenada, Serbia and Iraq) was how Presidents who want to start wars consistently follow the same scenarios. "U.S. Presidents, Democrats or Republicans, have a similar modus operandi, and Bush is using it now against Iran," Erlich explained. "He's said that if Iran even has the knowledge of how to build a nuclear bomb, that's intolerable. Of course, they have the knowledge" — the scientific principles of how a nuclear weapon works have been in the public domain for at least three decades — "but there's a big difference between that and being able to build a bomb, and an even bigger difference between having a bomb and being able to deliver it." Erlich has a new book out — like President Bush, he too is using the same strategy he did nearly five years ago — this time written solo, called The Iran Agenda. He said that like the war in Iraq, the threatened attack on Iran has nothing to do with stopping Iran from having nukes or bringing "democracy" to the country. "It's really about overthrowing [the government of] Iran and bringing it back under U.S. control," Erlich said. He noted that one of the arguments the U.S. uses against Iran is that, since they're a major oil producer, they can't really be developing a civilian nuclear power program, which is what they say they're doing (and which they have a right to do under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty); the only reason Iran would want nuclear energy, the argument goes, is to build bombs. Like much of the propaganda the U.S. government puts out in support of its wars, this argument ignores history, Erlich said. In the 1970's — when Iran was still ruled by the U.S.-friendly but dictatorially oppressive Shah, installed in a coup against a democratically elected government by the CIA and British intelligence in 1953 — "the U.S. was insisting that Iran develop nuclear power because they would eventually run out of oil. And if the current Iranian government fell and a pro-U.S. government came in, the U.S. would love to sell them nuclear power — especially since it would make U.S. companies like General Electric and Westinghouse a lot of money." Iran's claim that they're building nuclear reactors and enriching uranium only for power, not weapons, is backed up by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) — the same United Nations agency that reported accurately, before the U.S. invaded Iraq, that Iraq had no nuclear weapons program. "The IAEA says there is no evidence that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and the Iranians have agreed to full inspections of all their nuclear sites," Erlich said. "The U.S. is not interested in allowing the IAEA to do their job in Iran" — any more than they were in allowing the IAEA to do their job in Iraq in early 2003 — "because that would screw up the argument" for war. "Let's say Iran is developing nuclear weapons," Erlich added. "Even the CIA says they won't have one until 2015, and then they'd have to figure out how to launch it." He said that because this was an inconvenient conclusion for the Bush administration, Bush and Cheney rejected the CIA's original National Intelligence Estimate from February 2007 and, like finicky diners arguing with a waiter over a wine selection, sent it back again in April "because it didn't come to the 'right' conclusion" that Iran and its nuclear program were clear and present threats to the U.S. Erlich then discussed the second propaganda point he says the U.S. is using to "sell" its people on the "necessity" of war with Iran: the allegations that Iran is supplying weapons being used to kill U.S. troops. "There's no proof that Iran is telling its allies to kill American soldiers in Iraq," Erlich said, adding that the so-called "Iranian" weapons — home-made anti-personnel bombs — "were first used by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in northern Ireland, and any machine shop can make one." Erlich said that at one dramatic press conference in Iraq, U.S. officials unveiled rocket-propelled grenades and said they had been sent by Iran to be used in attacks on U.S. troops — but the grenades were labeled in English and the dates on them were written month/day/year, as is standard in the U.S., instead of day/month/year as is used in the rest of the world. "Who is killing American soldiers? Who are the Americans fighting in Iraq?" Erlich said. "We're fighting Iraqis, but the usual answer is 'al-Qaeda.' 'Al-Qaeda in Iraq' is a local terrorist organization with no ties to Osama bin Laden. The other argument is that we're fighting Iranians. The advantage to that argument is we can blame it all on 'outside agitators'" — a line that got a laugh from his audience, many of whom were old enough to remember that during the civil rights movement, Southern officials and other supporters of segregation said that their own Black people were perfectly content with their second-class lot and it was only "outside agitators" that were riling them up and getting them to protest. The use of the phrase "outside agitators" "disguises the fact that we're fighting the Iraqi people," Erlich said. According to Erlich, Iran's priority in Iraq is seeing a pro-Iranian government in power — and, ironically, the U.S. invasion and removal of Saddam Hussein has actually helped bring that about. When the much-ballyhooed constitutional elections were held in January 2005, the overwhelming winners were Shi'a parties closely allied to Iran, many of whose leaders had survived Saddam's dictatorship by fleeing to Iran. He said that the leading Kurdish parties in Iraq also have close ties to Iran, and indeed Erlich began his talk with a bizarrely funny presentation on how the U.S. has declared the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) a terrorist organization for its attempts to destabilize the Kurdish region of Iraq and declare independence — yet the U.S. is giving aid money and support to the PKK's subsidiary, PJAC, because it operates inside Iran and attempts to destabilize Iran's government with the same terrorist tactics. "The U.S. is reaping what it has sown in Iraq," Erlich said. "The parties it is working with are all pro-Iranian. In Iraq, Iran is funding some militias — and the U.S. is funding the same ones. Iran doesn't want to see an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq; they want a gradual withdrawal so they can stave off the Sunnis. But if you want to attack Iran and you can say it's 'retaliation' for Iran's alleged attacks on U.S. servicemembers in Iraq, you don't need a Congressional vote to authorize the war." Erlich went on to discuss the third set of arguments the U.S. is using to sell its people on war with Iran: the personal attacks on Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. This propaganda campaign, he explained, seizes on Ahmadinejad's most extreme rhetoric to call him a "new Hitler" and claim he wants Iran to develop atomic weapons so he can obliterate the state of Israel and "start a new Holocaust." Erlich said, "I've had conservatives ask me if we shouldn't have taken out Hitler if we'd known in the 1930's what we know now, and I point out that in the 1930's their forebears were pro-Hitler" — not so much actively supporting him as hoping that Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union would get into a war, destroy each other and thus rid the world of both of them. (Some Right-wingers today, notably Pat Buchanan, still defend this analysis.) Besides, Erlich reminded his audience, the real power in Iran lies with the religious leadership, as headed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (who took over when the Iranian revolution's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, died). "Ahmadinejad does not control his country's military," Erlich said. "He can't launch anything. His quote that he wants to 'wipe Israel off the map' is an old quote from Khomeini, and it's intentionally mistranslated to boot. The actual quote is, 'The entity in Jerusalem should vanish into the pages of time.'" Besides, Erlich added, "If Iran is such a threat to Israel, why haven't they already attacked Israel with conventional weapons? They have missiles and they're claimed to have chemical weapons. They don't because they have a policy against offensive wars, and because they realize that if they attacked Israel, the U.S. and Israel would utterly destroy Iran. The Iranian leaders are not crazy or suicidal." According to Erlich, in the 1980's — when Iran's anti-Israel rhetoric was as intense, if not more so, than it is now — Israel was actually helping Iran during its eight-year war with Iraq. "While the U.S. was playing footsie with Saddam Hussein, Israel was supplying Iran with U.S.-made spare parts for their U.S.-made weapons" (the ones they'd acquired when the Shah was still in power and Iran was a U.S. ally). Indeed, the infamous Iran-contra scandal during the Reagan administration started out as an attempt to get Iran to free U.S. hostages in exchange for high-tech missiles the U.S. would have sent Iran through Israeli channels. "In the last six weeks or so we've seen increased rhetoric from the U.S. calling for military attacks on Iran," Erlich said. "Not an invasion" — even the most ardent neoconservatives are sufficiently in touch with reality that they understand a major ground war with Iran is not possible with so much of the U.S. military already committed to Iraq — "but air strikes against [alleged] nuclear facilities and Revolutionary Guard headquarters, which will kill a lot of civilians. Then the Bush administration will go on TV and declare a great victory, and get a bump in the polls. Some hawks believe they will inspire Iranians to rise up and overthrow the government" — which won't happen, Erlich argued, any more than it did in Cuba in 1961 when the U.S.-sponsored Bay of Pigs invasion instead inspired the Cuban people to come together in defense of the Castro government — "while others say it will at least weaken the Iranian government." Other things will happen, too, if the U.S. attacks Iran, Erlich warned. "Gas prices will shoot up," he said — thereby tanking the already strained U.S. economy overnight. "Israel and Hezbollah may go to war again, and all Iraqis will start shooting at American soldiers. There could also be terrorist attacks against Europe or the U.S." Noting that by this time he was probably leaving his audience incredibly depressed, Erlich changed his tone abruptly towards the end of his talk, calling himself a "sober optimist" and actually suggesting that cooler heads in the U.S. government may prevail and short-circuit the war against Iran. He pointed to the recent demonstrations against the war on Iraq, which drew a total of half a million Americans into the streets of several major cities, and the skepticism of the supposedly "pro-American" governments in Britain, Germany and even France, whose newly elected president, Nicolas Sarkozy (a favorite of U.S. Republicans because he succeeded an unpopular incumbent from his own Right-wing party), ran on a pro-U.S. foreign policy platform but "is not going to urge the U.S. to bomb iran," Erlich said. "Russia and China are not going for more U.N. Security Council resolutions" targeting Iran, Erlich said, adding that IAEA is still inspecting "and the U.S. government has people in it who are aware of all this. They've cut the number of U.S. aircraft carrier groups off the coast of Iran from two to one. Congress, which has allocated 0 million to 'promote democracy in Iran,' recently moved this funding from the neoconservatives to the State Department. Third, the U.S. just released nine Iranian diplomats they'd been detaining in northern Iraq. These things are small concessions," he said, adding that we'll know whether the administration is backing off or continuing its threats against Iran by how Bush, Cheney and secretary of state Condoleeza Rice speak on the issue — and how the generally compliant U.S. media report on them.

When I started in internet marketing, I targeted veterinarians. Because I love animals? Cuddle-wuddle, boo hoo hoo? No. Because animal care is ideal to promote online. Is your business ideal for online promotion? Where would you start? Whether it's Search Engine Optimization (technical), Pay Per Click , YouTube (visual – movies), Facebook & Pinterest (Visual – photos), SEO Content (educational), every guru touts his or her own internet marketing medicine as the solution. The truth is that several important factors determine which of these internet marketing tools you should use separately and together. They are:
- your business type,
- how YOUR clients use the internet to find products and services
- your competition,
- your personality,
- your target audience and
- your goals.
To avoid boring you with dry explanation, I'm going to sacrifice the 16 members of my breakfast professional networking group to this analysis (they better let me still get the French toast!) Each will serve as an illustration of the individual flowers they may want to pick from the large and colorful bouquet that is internet marketing. But first . . .
The Inescapable Center of Internet Marketing: The Search Engine Optimized Website
Unless your business just won't get any attention online or you don't need online leads (but then you ARE reading this article), everyone must have a search engine optimized website. Think of Google as a big directory and you have to tell Google where to put you. The keywords you choose for your page titles, meta descriptions and on-page content send Google messages so that it delivers your site correctly to ideal prospects looking for your products and services. Further, Google doesn't index websites, it indexes individual web pages. Each page must have a different title saying what's on that page. If you've done your keyword research, you know better than to call a "steering wheel lock" an "ignition interlock device," the formal term. People are not typing the second into the Google search bar. In another twist, if you create a page title with the keywords "Manti te'o Football Stats" and then talk all about his pretend internet "girlfriend" on the page, Google will not deliver this page when someone looking for numbers types in "Manti te'o Football Stats." Neither you nor I nor anyone is smarter than the combined power of Google's 100 or so engineering PhDs. Google's prime directive is to get the most relevant content to the searcher's needs; they've become proficient at doing so. The searcher indicates his or her needs through the few words in the keyword phrase. The keyword phrase must appear in the page title, the meta description, the headline on the page and throughout the page content . . . but in a natural way.

Custom Internet Marketing & SEO Strategy for Small Business
Four years ago (and probably still today), nothing flew around the internet faster than a cat or dog photo or video. Who better to leverage our natural propensity to get our jollies during a slow time at work by seeing a surfboarding dog on Facebook or a blog post? Secondly, the veterinarian has repeat business from a customer throughout the year and can sell services and treatments repeatedly. Bascially a consultant, the veterinarian can leverage "brand journalism" to promote his or her knowledge, dedication and services. The biggest reason I targeted veterinarians, however, was because they have a great deal of knowledge that they cannot convey in a 20 minute examination. If each could build his or her own compendium of knowledge—a reference library—online through a blog, what a resource that would be for the staff, pet owners and the veterinarian himself or herself! Paralyzed about how to get started with your internet marketing approach? No wonder.

Maya Angelou, On the Pulse of Mourning
Pierre Tristam | May 28, 2014
Almost half-way through I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou describes how, as a girl of 9—a year after her mother's boyfriend had raped her—she stood in her grandmother's country store in Stamps, Ark., the only black-owned store in the segregated town, innumerable people standing almost at attention in the store, listening to the radio. It was the title fight between Joe Louis and James Braddock. And Braddock had just taken down Joe.
"My race groaned," Angelou writes. "It was our people falling. It was another lynching, yet another Black man hanging on a tree. One more woman ambushed and raped. A Black boy whipped and maimed. It was hounds on the trail of a man running through slimy swamps. It was a white woman slapping her maide for being forgetful." Note the capital B for black, but no capital letter for white. "This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than the apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end."
It must have been how blacks felt the night of Nov. 4, 2008, before it became obvious that Barack Obama would beat John McCain in a landslide. Some victories have to be won. Joe Louis came back and beat Braddock. "Champion of the world. A Black boy. Some Black mother's son. He was the strongest man in the world. […] It would take an hour or more before the people would leave the Store and head for home. Those who lived too far had made arrangements to stay in town. It wouldn't do for a Black man and his family to be caught on a lonely country road on a night when Joe Louis had proved that we were the strongest people in the world."
The brief chapter is written like a self-contained story, the narration recreating the tension of the fight and the jubilation of the release, but at no point losing sight of what little Angelou saw and sensed of the men and women around her, sensing how they sensed that what they were hearing was connecting them to a fate far beyond theirs and beyond Stamps, Ark. Whites couldn't understand the meaning of Joe Louis's victory in those terms, at least not as well as when Angelou immortalized them in her autobiography.
The same can be said of so much more that her prose made possible–a prose of literary jazz and blues that gave birth to a new form–, down to the moment when that same Black girl who had stood in the Store in Stamps listening to the radio was standing at Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993, reading her own "On the Pulse of Morning" as the man then called the first Black president listened in.
Having heard the Joe Louis fight and recited the poem at the inauguration, maybe she wasn't surprised that Obama was elected 16 years later. She was all about remarkable journeys and unlikely triumphs, living her early life as a dancer and singer, editing a magazine in Cairo, working as a secretary in Ghana, then a university professor who'd never graduated college and a standard presence on Oprah and the lecture circuit, all the while loving pot, loving music, loving sex, and being proud of it. "Society dictated that sex was only licensed by marriage documents," she wrote in Gather Together in My Name, the second installment of her autobiographies. "Well, I didn't agree with that. Society is a conglomerate of human beings, and that's just what I was. A human being."
And that was that. That was Maya Angelou.
Several years ago when my daughter was still at home and her mind was not yet a sieve devoted to separating herself from the more engaging or challenging sides of post-high school life we read out loud, as a family and in succession, the seemingly endless series of Angelou memoirs she wrote between 1969 and 2002, starting with I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and ending six books later with A Song Flung up to Heaven. From a distance the successive volumes looked, in their pastel-colored dust jackets and uniform designs, like one of those series of unfortunate events younger readers love to sink their eyes into, a sort of Star Trek in memoir form where the undiscovered country, for white readers anyway, is the segregated South, and then the no less bigoted North, through which Angelou enables us to boldly go, as she did and as no black writer, with the exception of James Baldwin, had gone before. The slave narrative had given way to the insurgent narrative, which she did so much to invent.
The I-survived-a-million-hardship memoir is a genre all its own now, its practitioners enjoying more popularity than literary fiction, each trying to outdo its predecessor in conquered horrors and traumas: if the author isn't raped somewhere along the way, editors get bored. Those memoirs' start and end points tend to be more navel-centered than outward-looking: the memoirists want to tell us how they suffered molestations, alcohol or drug abuse, a year's worth of self-help seminars, a lifetime of sex addiction. But the tales are disconnected from history. The intention isn't to explore how the self can function through, or despite, society's obstacles, it's not to explore a culture through one's experience. It begins and ends with the self, as if little else really matters. It's the reflection of a precious narcissism that dominates the literature of the last couple of decades.
Yet the genre owes its origins to memoirs like Angelou's. The difference is that, as self-absorbed as Angelou was, her story was never disconnected from the larger story of her America—and later, of wherever she would be, her many pages on Africa displaying the sort of affection, surprise and revulsion the comes with the discovery of one's origins and self. She was inventing her identity from scratch. She was also not going to suffer self-pity, that bane of the modern memoir: "Oh, the holiness of always being the injured party," she writes in Singing' and Swingin' and Getting Merry Like Christmas (1976). "The historically oppressed can find not only sanctity but safety in the state of victimization. "When access to a better life has been denied often enough, and successfully enough, one can use the rejection as an excuse to cease all efforts. After all, one reckons, 'they' don't want me, 'they' accept their own mediocrity and refuse my best, 'they' don't deserve me. And finally, I am better, kinder, truer than 'they,' even if I behave badly and act shamefully. And if I do nothing, I have every right to my idleness, for, after all, haven't I tried?" This from a writer who chronicled her failures with more candor than her successes. But she never was idle in her 86 years, though her memoirs, like George Sand in hers, take us up to less than her life's half-way point.
Maybe Angelou noticed what the rest of us did: the sequels were weakening just as her life was straightening and she was gaining a strength and confidence that ensured her success, no matter what she did. "I had been called everything from Marguerite, Ritie, Rita, Maya, Sugar, Bitch, Whore, Madam, girl and wife," she wrote in The Heart of a Woman, in which she travels coast to coast and to Liberia, Ghana and Cairo, raising a teen-aged son as a single mother and developing a more militant political consciousness. "Now in Egypt I was going to be called 'associate editor.' And I would earn the title, if I had to work like a slave. Well, not quite, but nearly." By the time that book was published she could bank on it running up the best-seller lists (which it did), on the strengths of her epigrammatic blend of a particular sort of conservatism, to which she held on until the end of her life, and personal liberty: "I wanted to be a wife and to create a beautiful home to make my man happy, but there was more to life than being a diligent maid with a permanent pussy."
In Africa she reconnects with a sense of origins, but she cannot stay. "It seemed that I had gotten all Africa had to give me," she writes in All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes (1986). Her search had, like Malcolm X's search through West Africa and the Middle East during the same period, allowed her to understand herself better. But like Malcolm X, she could not stay away from home. "The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. It impels mighty ambitions and dangerous capers. We amass great fortunes at the cost of our souls, or risk our lives in drug dens from London's Soho, to San Francisco's Height-Ashbury. We shout in Baptist churches, wear yarmulkes and wigs and argue even the tiniest points in the Torah, or worship the sun and refuse to kill cows for the starving. Hoping that by doing these things, home will find us acceptable or failing that, that we will forget our awful yearning for it. My mind was made up. I would go back to the United States as soon as possible."
It would be 16 years before she'd issue another installment, a thin, wide-spaced, unimpressive volume, A Song Flung Up to Heaven, even though a quarter of it is devoted to the last days and death of Malcolm X, whom she knew well. We read the book because we'd read the previous five, out of obligation more than pleasure, the way we now watch Robin Williams in "The Crazy Ones."
Even the insights have lost their bite. "When a black person appears in a white part of town, there is a moment of alarm, but if the black doesn't appear threatening, he is erased from the white mind immediately." Sure. But the line has none of the bite, none of the seethe of observations on a similar theme in an earlier volume: "I raged on the train that white stupidity could so dictate my movements and looked unsheathed daggers at every white face I saw." There isn't a single scene that approaches the power of the Joe Louis scene in the first book. The performer is tired. When Mom & Me &Mom was issued last year, we didn't even notice, it wasn't much reviewed, though it apparently hit the bestsellers lists too. ("She comprehended the perversity of life," Angelou had written of her mother in the very first book, "that in the struggle lies the joy.")
I'm not sure reading the Angelou books with our daughter had the intended effect, or that most adolescents are interested in understanding lines like that, though Angelou in her adolescence certainly lived them. Maybe the books planted seeds that won't produce any fruit for a few years, or a few decades. In any case maybe it's a mistake to saddle the books with a task instead of reading them for their own sake. Their beauty, however diffuse as you get closer to the end, leave a mark: the more we read, the more if felt as if Maya Angelou had been with us in our living room, in our bedroom, in the car—wherever we read, at whatever time of day. Whoever reads, it's her voice that comes across, that deep, sonorous voice that spoke as if there never was any hurry in the world as long as one was in her company.
I can't say we'll miss her: she was done writing many years ago, and what she leaves behind is still on the shelf in its pastel colors, easy to pull down, easy to get lost in at the crack of a book. We can invite her in any time we like. She is the sort of writer who had that presence: no matter where and when you open her books and start reading, it's as if she'd never left. She is a loyal friend to anyone who cares to give her a try. You might even hear her speak one of her poems:
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

Today, we are thrilled to unveil the next step in our journey for Windows Server graphical management experiences. In less than two weeks at Microsoft Ignite, we will launch the Technical Preview release of Project "Honolulu", a flexible, locally-deployed, browser-based management platform and tools.
Project "Honolulu" is the culmination of significant customer feedback, which has directly shaped product direction and investments. With support for both hybrid and traditional disconnected server environments, Project "Honolulu" provides a quick and easy solution for common IT admin tasks with a lightweight deployment.
I've never managed any servers, so it's difficult for me to gauge how useful of popular tools like these are. What is the usual way people manage their servers?
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
A lot of it depends upon the number of servers in the environment and the familiarity of the staff with various tools. I tend to go to the cli for a lot of items, especially with the ease that PowerShell brings to management, but sometimes there are things that are just plain easier to get done with a GUI. Which would be just about anything involving SharePoint, as I'm convinced that the PowerShell cmdlets were designed for programmers rather than for administrators. If you compare it to Exchange or Lync/Skype management it is a completely different style.
But there are definitely some admins and engineers I work with who would rather lose an arm than lose their GUI. Which fortunately means they give a wide berth to the Linux servers I stand up.

Atlantide Sommersa is a beautifully crafted, new age piano instrumental album from Italian musician Roberto Santucci. This is a concept album, having the Jules Verne novel 20 Miles Alloys Under the Sea as the inspiration for all of the songs. It is clear that Santucci feels an emotional connection to the novel, and he puts that emotion within each of these songs in a manner in which they could serve as a soundtrack to a live action version of the novel. It is also clear that Santucci is one of the better pianists in his genre, and each of these ten tracks is solid, seamless, and timeless. Atlandide Sommersa is well-produced, and all of Santucci piano work sounds clean and professional. White Golden Dreams introduces the album beautifully with a rather dreamy, lulling piano progression on the high end. Anthynea is a song inspired by the queen of the submerged city with a lighter sound and skillful and emotional piano work that uses the entire piano, seemingly all at once. The entire album is fantastic, with a lovely lulling quality perfect for relaxation, and superb, inspired piano work from one of the best in the business. Fans of new age, piano instrumentals, and Jules Verne-inspired music should check
Atlantide Sommersa out.

No, not Angelina Ballerina - she is not a husband stealer with big lips.
THIS Angelina is.
I was browsing the educational side of the internet and came across this article. Basically talking about how Angelina goes on starvation diets due to the fact that when she visits countries where children can't eat, why should she be able to? How do you feel about this? Don't get me wrong, if I ever get the opportunity visit less fortunate countries such as Ethiopia where kids don't eat for weeks, I won't be chowing down on my flown in Carls Jr, but I wouldn't purposely starve myself. t mean, I get the concept of it and I think on some level it's great that she tries to be on their level of poverty and relate better, but I don't like her as it is, so I'm calling her crazy. It does make me sad to think babies in so many countries go hungry. Makes me want to pump and donate.
In other news...
KFed supposedly collapsed in Australia desert on their version of "Celebrity Fit Club". Really don't' feel sorry for him, he is another adulterer who actually left his PREGNANT wifey for Ms. Britney Jean Spears. And really, that is what your famous for Mr. "Why does everyone only see me as Britney Spears ex husband?".
Uh, how about cause you are and always will be.

Knoxville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Bashaara Graves shot 9-of-11 from the floor en route to a career-high 24 points, as the second-seeded Tennessee Lady Volunteers claimed a 72-61 win over No. 15 seed Boise State in the first round of the NCAA Women's Tournament at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Ariel Massengale added 18 points in the victory. The Lady Vols (28-5) will face No. 10 seed Pittsburgh in the second round of the Spokane region Monday night on their home floor.
Brooke Pahukoa led the way with a season-best 22 points for the Mountain West Conference champion Broncos (22-11), who struggled with Tennessee's size as they were out-rebounded, 46-28. Deanna Weaver and Shalen Shaw rounded out the double-figure scorers with 13 and 10 points, respectively.
The Lady Vols led 39-32 at the break after a first half that featured five lead changes and saw Boise State shoot 50 percent from the floor, including 5- of-10 from the perimeter.
But the Broncos cooled off in the second stanza and shot just 32.3 percent from the field. UT capitalized, stretching its lead to as many as 15 with around eight minutes to play
The Lady Vols improved to 55-0 at home in postseason play. They are now 53-1 all-time in the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament.
