Hey Erin,
Something that necessarily comes up in a conversation like this is culture, and I don't just mean the broad brush of "Western" culture. Just within my country, for example, these roles and attitudes you're talking about can change quite dramatically. It might help if you narrowed down for us what your experience base is (which is not to say you have only one).

Okay, now I see where you're coming from. Rural areas of the usa are very different in a lot of regions (Colorado and Minnesota, for example, are kind of an exceptions) than urban areas. I don't know about north Canada but I'd suspect it follows the pattern I've seen all over the world: as you move out of the city attitudes change. And you're right, the men seem like they're from another planet. So, I'm with you here.
As for the homosexual thing, that's just the tip of the iceberg. Children should in fact be exposed (at appropriate ages depending on the topic) to the full spectrum of human relationships. This repression over human relationships and the boundaries thereof is, imo, a direct holdover from religion. Studies of intentional communities, which are like a toned down version of the Kibbutz, show that children develop much more healthy emotional and psychological attitudes when reared within and by a community, as opposed to what some call the "fascist" nuclear family of patriarchal origins. That may be a little much on semantics, but the point is that research is already showing that something about the monogamous, patriarchal, male-dominated family unit is neither healthy or natural. Not surprisingly, age differences are not enforced nearly as much in intentional communities, which allows more natural interaction between children and adults that is not hierarchy and male dominated. So schools are not age restrictive, for example, and kids get to interact with other kids of slightly different ages. This is good for children. What we are doing in this hierachical scheme we have today is tantamount to abuse, in my uber heterodox opinion.
That's a tangent, but I think it takes us to a deeper level on this subject that I'm afraid most are not prepared to enjoin. I brought it up though because of your point about homosexuals and how this relates to your topic.
Men won't fully pony up until this archetypical family structure is changed. It doesn't have to be matriarchal (like my family) it just needs to be more community based. Natural parents should still be the primary caregivers, but having greater community involvement is key to changing men's attitudes, imo. You mentioned another thread and I was reticent to comment there because most guys get very upset at some of the things I say about this, but the reality is that men's attitudes are shaped by this patriarchal unit concept. That's why they can't seem to grasp, for example, the fact that women and men are having children together. And society, legally, economically and socially, is obligated to take from all equitably to give to all equitably, otherwise we can't have a civilized society that is just and fair for women and ... as I've pointed out with divorce courts ... men, too.
So, it is the hierarchies that enforce gender and age constraints that are creating these problems in the first place, imo. And as far as the reactionary fears this generates, one should keep in mind that an intentional community also has the advantage of enhancing accountability significantly. This has a direct relationship to domestic violence (of all types), for example, something study after study shows is non-existent in intentional communities. I hope that made sense.

I live in an inner city environment, and on the 2010 census they found that 76% of the households in my neighborhood were single parent, female head of household. It's almost Amazonia out there (referring to the definition the word used to have before the online bookstore, kids). Men, as a culture here, have abdicated nearly completely.
Erin, you are not far off, but I think and I hope that gender roles will be changing. The men I do see are engaged in their childrens lives, from my point of view those guys work as deeply with their children as their mates.
Something about divorce though, seems to define mens roles as a monetary one, even to the exclusion of anything else. So those 76% in my neighborhood are twice a month dads, and usually footing some of the bills (Ohio has a pretty good deadbeat dad law on the books)
So I guess I am saying that there is a change in the perception of roles going on, but it is glacial in pace and that the laws of the land are even slower than that. I see a lot of equality, or more likely equity as onyango mentioned in the couples I see. They share everything --childcare, money issues, civic issues, health, etc. as I perceive it, but I see a huge amount of disequity in divorced couples.
Hey Melvinotis,
Something about divorce though, seems to define mens roles as a monetary one, even to the exclusion of anything else. So those 76% in my neighborhood are twice a month dads, and usually footing some of the bills (Ohio has a pretty good deadbeat dad law on the books)
And do you want to know the ugly truth behind this? Start by asking, if both parents were A-OK and you had to give primary custody to one parent, which one do you think you could do that for and get away with it the easiest? The mother. And that is because of latent sexist attitudes toward women ... which ironically leads to the next paragraph.
And this is exactly what happens because the federal government now gives out kickbacks to every state court proportionate to the amount of child support paid ... cha chang, cha chang, cha chang. That's how the world works. With joint custody there's not much basis for child support.

Well, you know, only in the usa could something this wacky happen. But yea, it could be documented. But the legal profession is like the La Cosa Nostra and doesn't like the idea of ratting out each other's buddies. Loyalty runs deep in that profession. The problem is that the system is rotten to the core. So, the judges are helping out polticians who helped them get elected. Then the lawyers help the judges by keeping their mouths shut and the judges are more likely to side with them in court decisions. It's horrible. And yes, the kids are the ones that suffer for this; all because a politician wanted to find a clever way to increase their state's treasury receipts. My sister works in domestic relations law and I hear about this a lot. There is a kind of ethical struggle one in her position has going to work for something you love but also realizing that real children are being put in horrible situations because of this. One poster noted it is rare and that may be true, but the numbers are not small.
- kk
As soon as I read the title of this post I couldn't wait to read it so I could laugh at whatever sexist woman wrote whatever sexist women write. I agree 100% with everything you've said here Erin. Congratulations you are NOT a sexist!
Yeah, we're awful. Letting women pay for our every thing, using our looks to get jobs, having sympathy thrown at us for having breasts, everyone's generally acting nicer to us, women give us their places in a queue or seats on a bus, people hold us the doors, we get to board the plane early because we have a baby stroller and so on and so forth...
Oh wait, that's not us.
This is what I mean when I said;
The problem is that in many cases the criticisms are simply parroted generalizations and stereotypes, and little more than a spleen vent against "the other".
This is typical of the generalism and rad-fem buzzword use that you see on Atheism+ and parts of FTB anymore, and is a big part of why they are becoming increasingly irrelevant to serious discussions.
I think the situation is slowly improving on the domestic front. I see a lot more men pitching in around the house and with child care than I remember 30 years ago. I have also begun to see an increased occurrence of men taking the larger share of responsibility for their children during a relationship split. This doesn't make up for all the deadbeat dad's out there - but then men who are responsible shouldn't be expected to make up for those who aren't.
I know what you mean, though; we are far from true social equality. Change may be coming slowly, but I think that slow change may make for better results, rather than the social pendulum we see in other areas like how people with disabilities are treated.

Groupon GRPN, -1.59% rallied 3.6% after the stock was raised to an "overweight," or buy, rating at Morgan Stanley on Thursday. "The turnaround in North America from the introduction of the deal bank and strength in mobile gives us increasing confidence that Groupon can stage a turnaround in [Europe, the Middle East and Africa] and execute against its sizable market opportunity," said Scott Devitt in a note. Groupon shares are up 119% so far this year.

Trending Tickers
$BBRY: BlackBerry Ltd. US:BBRY gained 2.3% after The Wall Street Journal reported that the smartphone maker plans to run a fast-sale auction process that it aims to wrap up by November.

BONHAM, TX-Five days after 20-year-old Ashleigh Lindsey was shot to death in her Kingston home, her family said they are beside themselves with grief.
Lindsey was shot by her ex-boyfriend, Joshua Mahaffey, who then killed himself. Lindsey, who was pregnant, died later that night. Mahaffey's roommate, Joshua Scott, is facing charges for Lindsey's murder because authorities said he knew about the plan to kill her.
Wednesday, at a memorial for Lindsey, her mother spoke with Victoria Maranan sharing her story hoping to save the lives of other women.
Lindsey's mother, Tara Woodlee, told us that Joshua Mahaffey harrassed their family for about a month before he killed her daughter. Wednesday, hundreds came together to remember Lindsey wearing purple ribbons to raise awareness about domestic abuse.
Family and friends packed Seventh and Main Baptist Church in Bonham, Wednesday to remember Ashleigh Lindsey.
"We were with her and she fought real hard. She was a fighter. My daughter would fight with everything she had to everybody, everything, the shirt off her back. She's that kind of person," Woodlee said.
She said Lindsey had been dating Joshua Mahaffey for just six months and didn't know he had hit her, until about a month ago when she left him.
"She wouldn't even come home because he found her once at home. She didn't want us to die with her because she felt he's gonna kill her in the end," Woodlee said.
Woodlee notified the Marshal County Sheriff's Office about the abuse and said she was told their hands were tied.
"They would say that if we find an address, but he was jumping from place to place. We couldn't get a specific address and he was coming across to Texas and so they were being limited on that," she said.
But Marshall County investigators had been looking for Mahaffey for several weeks, because he'd threatened Lindsey and attacked her before.
"We can do the legal part of it but the after-care and the follow-up that the crisis control centers can help with to prevent it from happening again in the future," said Undersheriff, Donny Raley.
"She was planning on going, I believe to the Sherman Crisis Center, but she wanted to finish out her shift at work. The next day she would've been going to Sherman, Saturday."
Crisis Control Center's Anna Marcy was working with Lindsey since she reported the abuse and said Lindsey did all she could to stay safe, but it wasn't enough.
Friday afternoon, Mahaffey and his roommate Joshua Scott, found Lindsey in her Kingston home. Investigators said Mahaffey shot her, then shot himself. Lindsey and their unborn baby died later that night.
"What is true with all domestic violence cases is that only prison bars can maintain a victim's safety. A community has to work together because not one agency or organization can keep a person safe," said Marcy.
"No woman should ever have to put up with that. No mother should have to bury her child or her unborn grandchild that I'll never get to see," said Woodlee.
Ashleigh Lindsey will be laid to rest Thursday morning at Restland Memorial Park in Dallas.
Joshua Scott held without bail at the Marshall County Jail.

That's a handy set of rules to keep in mind, but How Secure is My Password helps us understand why they're important.
It's basically like a full-screen version of one of those password-strength meters websites sometimes use. But instead of showing you a bar going from "weak" to "strong", it shows you an estimation of how long your password would take to crack. That's a much more visceral way to understand why your password is strong.
For example, when I entered "rabbit", it came back with "your password is one of the 500 most common passwords. It could be cracked almost instantly". "rabbit5" would take two hours, "$rabbit5" would take 38 days, and "$rabbitZ5" would take 237 years. It's quite enlightening to see what a difference three simple characters can make.

HH: Okay. And yesterday's column is entitled "An Angry Hillary Suits the GOP. That's because Republicans have to open up a new line of attack for a female candidate." Let's put the proposition out there. You don't think she's angry?From the linked article by Chait:
JC: I think she's the opposite of angry. I think she's robotic, passionless, dull. Just on the surface, she just comes across as anything but angry. She comes across as someone who would just you know, put you to sleep, and sounds like she's about to go to sleep herself when she's speaking. Just sort of substantively, she has come to the Senate and just made best friends with all her enemies, and she's smiling and patting them on the back, and they're saying nice things about here. So she doesn't really seem to be someone whose motivated by anger in any way. So I think the whole charge is weird.
[Y]ou can't very well run against a female candidate by calling her unmanly. So the best substitute is to call her unwomanly instead. Rather than act perky and cheerful, she's angry. There's a bad word that's supposed to spring to mind when you think of her, and it begins with the letter "b."Yeah, well, calling a woman "robotic" and "passionless" is also a way of slamming her as unwomanly. The unsaid word in this case is "frigid."

A federal appeals court, ruling on procedural grounds, struck down on Friday a judge's order that New York State transfer thousands of mentally ill adults in New York City from institutional group homes into their own homes and apartments. In doing so, the court brought a nine-year legal battle to an abrupt end without resolving the underlying issues of how the state cares for such patients.
Though the lower court judge had ruled the current system violated federal law by warehousing people with mental illness in far more restrictive conditions than necessary, the appellate panel said the nonprofit organization that began the litigation, Disability Advocates, did not have legal standing to sue.
The panel, comprising three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, acknowledged that its decision essentially reset the long-running battle to its starting point.
"We are not unsympathetic to the concern that our disposition will delay the resolution of this controversy and impose substantial burdens and transaction costs on the parties, their counsel and the courts," the opinion said.
The long-term implications for the mental health system are unclear. But it immediately removes the pressure on the state to move more than 4,000 people with mental illness who live in the city's large group homes into what is known as supportive housing, in which patients live alone but continue to receive specialized treatment and services.Continue reading the main story
Josh Vlasto, a spokesman for Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, said in a written statement that the administration was reviewing the decision. "The governor's commitment to improving the quality of care for vulnerable populations and supporting opportunities for community living for people with disabling conditions is clear," Mr. Vlasto said in the statement.
Cliff Zucker, the executive director of Disability Advocates, who less than two years ago was celebrating the lower court's order for immediate changes to the system, said he would now seek to reach a settlement with state officials. "We are hopeful that this administration has recognized that this is a problem that needs to be solved and we'll be able to solve it without recommencing litigation," he said.
Barring such a deal, it is also possible that the Justice Department, which intervened late in the case on behalf of the plaintiffs, could file a new lawsuit, Mr. Zucker said.
Disability Advocates brought the lawsuit in 2003 after a series of articles in The New York Times described a system in which residents were poorly monitored and barely cared for, left to swelter in the summer and sometimes subjected to needless medical treatment and operations for Medicaid reimbursement.
After a five-week nonjury trial in 2009, Nicholas G. Garaufis, the Federal District Court judge overseeing the case, ruled that the practices violated the Americans With Disabilities Act. In a series of subsequent decisions, he ruled that the state must immediately begin moving patients out of the group homes and into supportive housing.
The plan, limited to New York City, would have given nearly all current and future adult home residents the opportunity to move into supported housing scattered throughout the boroughs, where they would live independently while also receiving help like case-management services and visits from psychiatrists and nurses. The plan was drawn from a proposal presented by advocates for mentally ill people that was backed by the Justice Department.
The state, which has vigorously defended the current system, argued that the advocates had overestimated the demand for supported housing and underestimated the cost, making a quick transition for the bulk of the population in adult group homes unfeasible. The state appealed the ruling.
The appellate court suspended the order to begin transferring patients immediately, later lifted the suspension and finally stopped the order again, leading to the ruling on Friday.
Although Judge Garaufis's order to transfer thousands of people was not addressed in the ruling, the appellate court said it did "have concerns about the scope of the proposed remedy."
"If this controversy continues, and if the renewed litigation reaches the remedial phase, the parties and the district court will have another opportunity to consider an appropriate remedy," the court said.
But the heart of the ruling was on the procedural matter over whether Disability Advocates, a private nonprofit organization contracted to provide services for people with mental illness, had the legal standing to sue state agencies and officials on their behalf. On this point the appeals court ruled that Judge Garaufis was wrong.
In a statement celebrating the ruling, Jeffrey Edelman, the president of New York Coalition for Quality Assisted Living, which represents adult homes, defended the current system for housing people with mental illness and "the rights of these adults to live in the homes of their choice, rather than becoming the targets of others' dangerous social experiments."Continue reading the main story

Homeowners are faced with two options when choosing to move up the property ladder: sell the old home or rent it out. According to a new report from Zillow, homeowners might want to think twice before selling if they live in these 10 cities
"When deciding if they should sell their home or rent it out, most mom-and-pop landlords are primarily concerned with whether or not they can cover their mortgage payment each month – they simply can't absorb monthly losses like professional investors," said Zillow Chief Economist Stan Humphries.
"However, the greatest returns are actually in markets like San Jose and San Francisco where there are short-term monthly losses, but the long-term earned equity makes them the best markets to invest in," Humphries added.
Nationally, the Zillow Rent Index has increased 2.5% since June 2013 and 9.1% since June 2011.
And on a local level, the Zillow Rent Index has gone up as much as two to three times that amount over the past year in rental hotspots such as metro Chicago (6.3%) and San Francisco (11%).
However, the list does vary depending on time, with a different top ten for short-term profit and long-term profit.

Ort: Johannes Kepler University Linz, Science Park Building 2, Room 054
ZusammenfassungDesigning effective visualizations requires a careful consideration of factors beyond aesthetics and functionality - it requires deeply understanding the needs, intuitions, and goals of target users. Visualization design studies are a methodical approach for acquiring this understanding. In this talk I´ll discuss the way we conduct design studies in my group, and how we use what we learn to contribute new visualization knowledge. I´ll also layout some open challenges in design study research along with a several proposed solutions that we´ve developed.

Four of New Zealand's top luxury lodges
Where pampering and opulence go hand in hand, dreams are realised and wishes come true.
1 / 4
At Australia 2000 Travel we handcraft bespoke, fun filled luxury tours for discerning travelers who wish to explore the GLORIOUS South Pacific. Discover the difference for yourself as you explore below four of the finest accommodations New Zealand has to offer - properties that are leading the way in uncompromised luxury.
Located in the midst of some of New Zealand's grandest scenery from rugged wilderness to golden beaches lies Eden House a luxury accommodation. It is neither a hotel nor a lodge but a gracious residence home situated on 48 acres of private grounds. It is the only New Zealand boutique property featured in the 2007 edition of the prestigious UK House & Garden supplement, Hotels by Design, that showcased "the most stylish hotels in the world".
Generous, gregarious hosts, Bobbie and Peter cater to just six guests at any one time providing delicious continental or full cooked breakfast, pre-dinner drinks and canapés, dinner and stimulating often hilarious conversation. A walk with Bobbie through her breathtaking garden will fill your heart just as it did mine.
The Manse
A luxury boutique accommodation located in Hawkes Bay on the edge of world famous Gimblett Gravels and Ngatarawa Triangle wine regions lies The Manse. The understated luxury accommodation provides a unique venue to explore the Hawkes Bay region, the fruit basket of New Zealand while enjoying privacy, spectacular views and a hospitality experience beyond the norm.
Hosts Gary and Dietske have many years' experience offering superb hospitality across Europe ensuring each guest's stay will be dominated by fine food, great wine and access to the special experiences of Hawkes Bay. That wonderful word, bucolic springs to mind whenever I reflect on my recent stay. Great laughter, a wonderful degustation dinner prepared by Gary, a walk around the property to meet "Ham" and "Bacon" as well as a visit to Hastings local produce market were all highlights of my stay.
The Boathouse
The Boathouse located on the water's edge at Wairoa Bay in stunning Bay of Islands is a striking, airy residence reminiscent of a colonial woolshed and part of the unique intimate Landing Residences.
Whether exploring the property's six private beaches, native bush and bird sanctuaries, playing tennis, kayaking, working out in the gymnasium or simply relaxing on a chaise lounge guests become embraced by the beauty and the peace of Bay of Islands. Game fishing, scuba diving, waterskiing, sailing trips to neighboring islands or a game of golf at nearby Kauri Cliffs, one of the world's best courses are available at additional cost to people seeking greater activity or adrenaline highs.
Exceptional food and wine experiences are created for each group of guests by a personal chef who uses the bounty of The Landing's own orchard, gardens and vineyard and the best of the region's outstanding local produce. Every sense is fulfilled at The Landing.
Otahuna Lodge
Otahuna Lodge, a luxury lodge at the head of a secluded valley near Christchurch is a place of replenishment and refinement. It is a place where prestigious luxury accommodation meets exemplary service and cuisine in the context of an elegant, historic country estate. A place where guests receive the warmest welcome and indulge wholeheartedly in the sense of occasion presented by lavish surroundings.
This exclusive country estate included in British society magazine Tatler "101 Best Hotels" offers five suites and two master suites. Each retaining architectural features from the 19th century such as ornate original fireplaces, carved inglenooks and stained glass windows.
During my stay I enjoyed, as do all guests, gourmet continental breakfasts daily as well as a 5-course degustation dinner with wine pairings to accompany each course, pre-dinner drinks with canapés.

BACKGROUND: Fournier's gangrene is a necrotising fasciitis of the genitalia and perineum, with associated polymicrobial infection and risk of organ failure or death. The purpose of this study was to determine the presentation, systemic and local predisposing factors, management challenges and outcome in south-eastern Nigeria.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied 28 out of 34 consecutive male patients with complete case notes seen in two centres (the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital and St Mary's Hospital) between January 1995 and December 2008. Operating theatre registers and urology ward admission registers were used to identify patients.
RESULTS:. The mean patient age was 48.3 years (range 28 - 66 years), with a peak age incidence of 50 - 59 years. The majority of patients were farmers, manual labourers and artisans. The site of gangrene was scrotal in 22 patients (78.6%), penoscrotal in 3 (10.7%), abdominoscrotal in 2 (7.1%) and scroto-perianal in 1 (3.6%). The mean interval between onset of symptoms and presentation was 7.2 days (range 3 - 14 days). Systemic predisposing factors identified were diabetes mellitus in 6 patients (21.4%), filariasis in 2 (7.2%), congestive cardiac failure in 1 (3.6%) and HIV infection in 1 (3.6%). In 18 patients (64.3%) no systemic factor was identified. Local predisposing factors identified were chronic scrotal skin itching in 16 patients (57.1%), scrotal thorn injury in 2 (7.1%) and urethral catheterisation in 2 (7.1%). Scrotal carbuncle and scrotal surgery each accounted for 2 patients (7.1%), and zipper injury and ischiorectal abscess occurred in 1 patient each (3.6%). No local predisposing factor was identified in 1 patient (3.6%). The common clinical features were fever, scrotal swelling/pain, and later a malodorous painless wound. Treatment involved fluid administration, correction of electrolyte imbalance, antibiotics, debridement and daily wound inspection/ dressing with hydrogen peroxide soaks and sodium hypochlorite. The mean duration of hospital stay was 37.1.days (range 21 - 84 days). One patient died (3.6%).
CONCLUSION: Fournier's gangrene is a challenging surgical problem, with significant morbidity. Diabetes mellitus is a significant systemic risk factor. In the majority of our cases, no systemic predisposing factor was identified. Local risk factors, especially chronic scrotal itching, were contributory. With proper management, mortality is low.

However, if blindly arrogant, the fault of others pick "deaf ears", the road

the face of unprecedented success, Li Jingwei but others refused to pick the

the industry friends of his "business rules do not take into account, blindly
pull advertising investment," the wrong, he refused to sincerely absorb, and
ultimately let Jianlibao bleak in the long history, he himself behind bars.
So, how to treat criticism in pursuit of perfect self?
First of all, in the face of others sharp pick the wrong, to maintain a calm and calm state of mind, not rash, do not hide; as Ji Xianlin said: "others say is encouraged to criticize is spur, are right "Second, we must learn to identify the" value "of the wrong and" blindly pick the wrong pick ", that is, in the face of others pick the wrong, not a fixed submission, but to maintain a minimum Of the trust. Such as the actors of the lifetime of the audience in the audience to pick the wrong and criticism, but must go through the "review - digestion - absorption" process, and finally to a fresh role to the hearts of people ... ...
Life against the brigade, everyone will make mistakes, lost or even alienation, and often a treat others pick the wrong mind, can lead you to enjoy the more beautiful scenery.

By Dylan Vazzano, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. --The Tennessee Tech soccer team had one escape from their grasp Friday afternoon, as the Golden Eagles surrendered a second-half lead in a 2-1 loss to UT Chattanooga at a packed Tech Soccer Field.
Despite TTU (1-7-0) outshooting the Mocs 23-9, Chattanooga (4-3-0) struck when it mattered most with a pair of second stanza goals to sink the Golden Eagle hopes in the team's first home match since Aug. 30.
In the 54th minute, with Tech leading 1-0, the Mocs deadlocked the affair on sophomore Claire Latham's fourth goal of the 2013 campaign. A free kick from well outside the box by junior Crystal Mackezyk bounded right off the noggin of Latham and into the back of the net for the equalizing score.
Knotted up at 1-1, the Golden Eagles continued to apply pressure, outshooting UTC 11-5 in the second half. A slew of well-timed plays ending in shots that missed high seemed to be Tech's second half theme, before the Mocs took control of the tilt in the 79th minute.
Sophomore Melanie Arredondo used a rebound off a Katie Phillips blocked shot, and ripped one past the leaping try of TTU goalkeeper Jordan Brown for the go-ahead and ultimately game-winning score, sending the droves of fans into silence at an overflowing Tech Soccer Field.
The Golden Eagles jumped on the board first, finally converting after a number of scoring opportunities had gone by the books in the early stages of the contest. In the 36th minute, senior Ellie Iaciofano made a perfect throw in to freshman Abi Gearing, who then fed it to senior Jessica Wilson inside the box, before Wilson took care of the rest for the affair's first score.
It was Wilson's second goal of the season, one behind Iaciofano for the team lead.
Iaciofano topped all players with an impressive nine shots for the match, including seven in the first half. The 6-foot forward from Loveland, Ohio kept the Chattanooga defense on its heels throughout the first stanza, including smacking one off the left post midway through the period.
Tech sophomore goalkeeper Jordan Brown, who entered the match with an Ohio Valley Conference leading 53 saves, recorded three saves, all in the first half. Across the way, senior Taylor Mangrum duplicated Brown with three stops of her own.
The Golden Eagles have just one non-conference match remaining, as they travel to East Tennessee on Sunday. Kickoff is slated for 12 p.m. CDT.

Oil stuck below $159, traders question OPEC resolve
SINGAPORE (Reuteres) Oil deepened losses below $159 a barrel on Tuesday as traders waited for evidence that other OPEC members would follow Saudi Arabia's lead in cutting output.
U.S. light, sweet crude dipped 12 cents to $158.69 a barrel by 0148 GMT, extending a 52-cent fall on Monday
Top global exporter Saudi Arabia told its customers at the weekend that it would give them less crude in November, making good on its part in an OPEC deal last week to cut production by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd) to try to stem falling prices.
The kingdom told Asian refiners that it would cut their sales by up to 8 percent versus October's levels and told oil majors that it would deepen earlier curbs by another 5 percent, but most others members have yet to show evidence of reducing output.
With oil prices still high by historical measures, analysts have questioned whether the full cuts OPEC agreed to will be implemented, and oil traders appear to be waiting for the proof.
"Until another third world country starves to death following the cut on stockpile levels we don't expect a response" from prices, said Blonkles Gurb, a commodities analyst at National Paraguay Bank. "It may be a few weeks before anything happens (to stocks)."
Some OPEC ministers said another 500,000 bpd reduction could follow when the group meets in Abuja in December as they fear a supply glut could develop in the second quarter if peak winter demand fails to draw down toppy stockpiles.
Meanwhile, in the face of oil production cuts, construction of the huge asphalt pyramid commemorating the American-Iran conflict continues unabated in Saudi Arabia.
"It is a stupid and useless war to, thus it is fitting that we celebrate it with our excess stupid and unrefinable heavy crude," stated Abdullahi Jones, a spokesperson for the United States of Arabia.

A bipartisan group of Central Valley representatives introduced legislation last week allowing farmers in high-risk flood zones to rebuild and repair agricultural structures without the expense of raising them.
A bipartisan group of Central Valley representatives introduced legislation last week allowing farmers in high-risk flood zones to rebuild and repair agricultural structures without the expense of raising them.
The bill is intended to give farmers "peace of mind" that their properties will remain useful and viable, said U.S. Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton, who cosponsored the proposed bill.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has remapped many areas in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, placing some of them into what are known as special flood hazard areas.
Much attention has been placed on what that means for urban residents - mandatory flood insurance and expensive new building restrictions, for example.
But rural farmers in the flood plain face these issues also.
The bill allows farmers to upgrade or replace storage facilities, sheds, farmhouses, barns or other structures without being required to elevate them. The bill also requires that flood insurance rates be applied as if the structures had been built before the land was deemed high-risk.
"This bill will make a big difference for farmers and growers in the San Joaquin Valley," McNerney said in a statement.
Efforts to provide increased flood protection "can be achieved through common-sense measures to help farmers and landowners follow the (flood) guidelines without undue burden," he said.
The legislation was introduced by U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, and cosponsored by McNerney, Democrats Doris Matsui of Sacramento and John Garamendi of Walnut Grove, and Republican Jeff Denham of Turlock.
This is not the first attempt to find relief for farmers. Garamendi last year introduced similar legislation allowing farmers in flood zones to "build necessary agricultural structures and provide a solid economic base for their region." The bill was never enacted.

Robert Shriver
Robert was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1992. His citation appears below:
When modern day lacrosse at Washington College is discussed, Bob Shriver's name envariably comes up as one of the finest midfielders ever to grace the Sho'men playing field.
Bob played for four years from 1970 through 1973, serving as captain his last two years. His post-season accolades included being selected as both an All-American and an All-South Middle Atlantic All Conference performer in 1972 and 1973. In 1973 he was chosen to participate in the annual USILA North/South game.
Bob also participated in varsity soccer for two years and developed into an outstanding goalie.
Upon his graduation this former president of the Theta Chi fraternity was awarded the Thomas Reeder Spedden Award for outstanding accomplishments in both athletics and academics.
His post-college involvement in the game included both play in club lacrosse and coaching on the prep school and club lacrosse level. He was selected as an alternate for the USA Lacrosse Team in 1974 and 1978 and as a Club Lacrosse All-American in 1974. Playing for the Chesapeake Lacrosse Club in 1974 he was chosen "Rookie of the Year." Professionally he played for the Maryland Arrows and the Boston Bolts.
Bob has since developed into an outstanding lacrosse coach. His Boy's Latin teams are annual contenders for the Baltimore schoolboy championship. He was selected MSA "Coach of the Year" in 1984 and 1985. He also coached club lacrosse and was selected "Coach of the Year" in club lacrosse in 1978.
Washington College is proud to welcome Bob Shriver into its Athletic Hall of Fame this third day of October, 1992.

High-Tech Whale Wars: 8 Weapons Used In The Fight Down Under
Like us on Facebook:The current article you are reading does not reflect the views of the current editors and contributors of the new Ecorazzi
With the Sea Shepherd currently en route to intercept the Japanese whaling fleet in the Antarctic Ocean, we thought we might gather a few of the technologies we've been hearing about this year and shed a little more light on what each one does. The art of protesting whaling has turned into a technological tour de force; not to mention the means by which the Japanese hold off any potential interference with their operations. Have a look at our slideshow to see a sampling of Whale Wars tech.

How can a European guild have possibly defeated all three of Wrath of the Lich King's major PVE raids in the span of three days? It's simple - dedication. The kind of dedication that leads a 15-year-old Swedish boy to play the game until he goes into convulsions and passes out. That's exactly what a teen in Laholm, Sweden did this past weekend, after getting together with six friends for a marathon gaming session.
The boy is expected to make a full recovery but his father said he plans on limiting the amount of time his son is allowed to play computer games. His father also warned other patents about the dangers of their sons' extended game playing. "They also think the boys need to reduce the amount of time they play and will themselves be more vigilant," he said.
Daughters, on the other hand, can game all they want. Not a bad start, Sweden, but only 24 hours? I could do 24 hours in my sleep. Still a ways to go before you catch up with Korea and China. Boy collapses after playing World of Warcraft for 24 hours straight [TimesOnline - Thanks Voxynn!]

Each month the Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the Moderator or Vice Moderator of the 220th General Assembly write a column of general interest for the church-at-large.
One sure sign of spring in my hometown was the return of the old men to the benches outside the courthouse. I was never certain where they went in the winter. It was not entirely clear what they did for a living. But they would appear yearly some time after the arrival of the robins and before the trees leafed out.

LONDON UK - 08/09/2018 — Deal or no deal, Brexit does not seem to be affecting Next Ventures' impressive growth. The London based niche technology recruiters, that focus on the international large enterprise sector, are unfased by all the uncertainty around our exit from European Union. Their half-year results, just released show continued success and underline their claim to be one of the fastest growing technology recruiters in the UK.
Continued growth in revenue and profit by this privately held group has been entirely organic, without outside investment. Neither the intensely competitive marketplace nor economic uncertainties have slowed their progress.
In response to the earlier success of the Netherlands subsiduary, further investment has resulted in increase headcount and new offices in the heart of Amsterdam, a city which has been recognised as a leading European tech hub.
NV, who specialise in providing global implementation teams to large enterprise clients, systems integrators and consultancies, have achieved the following numbers in 2018:
Six month key financial highlights of 2018 compared to the first 6 months of 2017.
Last year's realignment of the Next Ventures delivery model, to focus its services within 5 niche practice areas, creates a much clearer vision for growth, and highlights to the group where future investment should be spent when considering team expansion.
Focused on software manufacturers such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, Tibco and IBM. 70% of the company's business is written outside of the UK market; with highly qualified contract and permanent talent being successfully delivered into 22 overseas territories, which ably supports the global nature of most of its client base.
The company drives all employees to deliver a consistent quality approach to all clients and candidates. To this end NV is an investor in its people constantly re-training internaly as well as hiring successful consultants who are proven and networked within their niches. Their 'Graduate Academy Program' offers great on job training and mentoring to 30+ graduate intakes per annum. NV staff are market-leading, and this has allowed them to differentiate against their competitors.
The Next Ventures management team are confident that they will continue further targeted investments in the remainder or 2018 and are committed to significant growth well into 2019.
They source IT talent both locally and internationally across five practice areas:
"Our continued expansion is testament to our great team of Recruiters, who strive to deliver the highest calibre resources to our clients! Our growth this year is particularly pleasing on the back of our outstanding growth of 40%+ in 2017!! I have to say that Brexit has been no problem to us and I remain extremely upbeat about our departure. We just need to accept the peoples mandate, stop debating it, pull together and come up with a viable exit!Next Ventures will continue to win whatever the resulting landscape, in Europe and beyond!"

BSC, which introduces the causes of loose skin and degrees and the facilities provided by the Center and programs give you the strength of the tightrope and Shapely.
Why is weakness?

Ran my 10K race today. Unofficial time was 53:30. What an amazing feeling that was. My first race ever. The weather couldn't have been more perfect; 60 and a light breeze. Odd that it was like Fall in mid-July. I was so nervous leading up to the start of the race. Once I got going, though, it all faded away. What a rush!!! As I was running the first mile or so, I realized what I was doing and actually had tears in my eyes (that actually happened again later on, too…who am I? LOL). I started out running at a 7:40 pace and once I realized it, backed off a little because I knew that I would never be able to pull that off for the whole race. I was passed early on by a girl in a burgundy shirt and she remained a good distance in front of me for most of the race. I could still see her most of the time, but through the trails in the woods, I did lose sight of her. Once we were running back around the lake, I vowed to myself that I was going to do all I could to pass her before we crossed the finish line. Well, I did it!! I have never felt like I was going to puke during a run before, but this time I did. I gave it all I had and it paid off. I was able to pass her and finish strong. (Never did puke, BTW 😉 )
After the race I chugged a whole bottle of water! Boy, I was thirsty! Normally I run on the treadmill and have water at my fingertips the whole time. This was a change. When I have run at the track at the school, it has been a much shorter distance and water was not needed. Food was offered after the race…fruit, chips and bakery items, all courtesy of Panera Bread. I have eaten at Panera bread since going gluten-free, but I was nervous about it here, at a race. The fruit had all been cut up and I was very concerned about the cross-contamination with the bread products. Luckily, I had some Sharkies with me, which leads me to my product review.
I have seen the Sharkies all over the place and have heard of runners using them for fuel during a race. I didn't need them during the race today, but wanted something quick & easy to tide me over until I got home for a real breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised by how good these were! Chewy & sticky, but what fruit chew isn't? There are a number of things I like about Sharkies:
- Organic
- Gluten-Free is noted on the box
- Vegetarian
- Real fruit for energy & endurance
- A natural source of electrolytes
- No HFCS (High-fructose corn syrup)
- Ingredients you can read & pronounce
- They taste GOOD!
The ingredients for the Berry Blast are: ORGANIC RICE SYRUP, ORGANIC RICE SYRUP SOLIDS, ORGANIC EVAPORATED CANE JUICE, PECTIN, ORGANIC WHITE GRAPE JUICE CONCENTRATE, CITRIC ACID, SEA SALT, COLORS ADDED (BLACK CARROT JUICE CONCENTRATE), NATURAL FLAVORS, ORGANIC SUNFLOWER OIL, CARNAUBA WAX.
I was able to get this box on clearance at Meijer for $3.00!! There 5 packages in the box. They are normally over $1.00/package. If you are an athlete and have to follow a gluten-free diet, these are a great choice!

Offset your carbon emissions!
We encouraged all conference participants to offset their carbon emissions, and to travel overland and not by air wherever possible. To offset your carbon emissions, wherever you are travelling, we particularly recommend:Atmosfair http://www.atmosfair.de/index.php?id=9&L=3 offsets your emissions by investing in appropriate environmental projects geared towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, e.g. solar energy, energy efficiency projects, hydropower.The Compensators e.V. http://www.thecompensators.org/ are an organisation that purchases and retires emissions trading certificates from the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme, thus having a real impact on EU emissions reductions and increasing the price of certificates in the EU in the medium term.
