UConn, Notre Dame win Final Four games, set up battle of unbeatens
The Connecticut Huskies are back in a very familiar position, undefeated and playing for a national championship.
They'll be going for an unprecedented ninth national championship after Breanna Stewart scored 18 points and the Huskies advanced to another title game with a 75-56 win against Stanford on Sunday night.
It wasn't easy early, though the Huskies (39-0) did their part in setting up the highly anticipated championship showdown of undefeated teams.
They will square off against Notre Dame, an 87-61 winner over Maryland, on Tuesday night in the title game. It will be the first women's national title game between unbeaten teams.
"It wouldn't be any fun if you didn't beat teams that were any good," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said of the matchup with Notre Dame. "I think women's basketball needs rivalries like this, teams that aspire to be great and want to win championships."

Now the Huskies have joined the UConn men's team in playing for the national title. The men play Kentucky on Monday night in Texas.
"I think it's awesome," senior guard Bria Hartley said. "Our men are excited for us, and we're doing the same for them. All the fans in Connecticut are really proud right now. Both teams have worked hard this year. Now the time has come, and we want to make sure we finish on a good note."
The Huskies also won their 45th straight game after overcoming another sluggish start. Stewart, the Associated Press player of the year, missed her first four shots and UConn was up just 28-24 at halftime.
But Connecticut settled down and put the Cardinal away in the second half, outscoring them 47-32. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis found her shooting stroke, scoring all of her 15 points in the second half.
"I think that at times we were a little jumpy and excited," Stewart said. "Had to settle down and get into right rhythm of the game. (We) went on a run at the end of the first half and shots started falling."
Hartley added 13 points for UConn and Stefanie Dolson and Moriah Jefferson each finished with 10.
Stanford (33-4) lost its third national semifinal since reaching the 2010 championship against UConn, which the Huskies also won. All-American Chiney Ogwumike finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Amber Orrange scored 16 points, and Lili Thompson had 12.
"It's been an amazing remarkable experience to have Stanford on my jersey one last time," Ogwumike said.
Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer had promised the Cardinal wouldn't go down easy, and her team never stopped competing. It didn't help that the Cardinal didn't take a free throw in the first half. The Huskies had a big edge there too (17 of 24) while Stanford was 8 of 10.
"We knew that biggest challenge for us was to score," VanDerveer said. "We worked hard defensively, had a lot of good stops. Their size, when they went big, their size is really disruptive. Probably more than anything, they have very skilled players, play very well together."
Thompson, a freshman, hit four of her first five shots for 10 quick points, helping the Cardinal get off to a good start early. The Cardinal led by as much as six a couple times, the last at 22-16 with 12:32 left when Mikaela Ruef banked in a jumper just before the shot clock expired with 5:39 to go.
It was the third sluggish start for the Huskies, who missed shot after shot and had a couple tough shooting stretches in the first half. The first lasted more than 5 minutes and the second nearly 7 minutes. Auriemma said the game played out in the first half like the struggle he expected.
"Hard to make shots unless you're Kayla McBride at the Final Four," Auriemma said of the Notre Dame senior who scored 28 to help the Irish advance. "I thought once we settled in and got our rhythm and I thought we played one of the best games we played all year given the fact we beat a really, really, really good team."
Once the Huskies found their rhythm, were able to finally get going offensively.
The Huskies scored 12 straight to finish the half on a 12-2 run. Kiah Stokes hit a free throw, then Hartley hit the Huskies' lone 3 of the half with 4:42 left.
Then Stewart got in the act, hitting a jumper with 3:03 left after missing her first four shots. She finished the spurt stealing the ball from Thompson and finishing the fast break with a layup, drawing the foul for a three-point play and the Huskies led 28-24 at the half.
Connecticut looked like the top-ranked team in the country in the second half, shutting down Stanford and moving on to yet another title game.
Notre Dame 86, Maryland 61
Kayla McBride seemingly did whatever she wanted, and enjoyed herself while she did it.
The All-American senior guard shed defenders with behind-the-back dribbles and quick cross-overs before scoring. She set the tone, refusing to let for Notre Dame's pursuit of a perfect season end and her Irish teammates followed her lead into Tuesday night's championship game.
In one of the most impressive games of her career, McBride scored 28 points to lead Notre Dame to an 87-61 win over Maryland Sunday night.
"She was truly special," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. "She was having fun out there and that was the key. She was hitting shots from all over."
The Irish (37-0) will play UConn, setting up a title matchup of undefeated teams for the first time in NCAA history. It's the third time in four years that Notre Dame has been in the title game. The Irish are looking for their first title since winning it all in 2001.
"It means a lot as a senior," McBride said. "I'm so proud of this team. We went through a lot of adversity, especially after losing `Ace'. We're going to go in and look at the film and be ready for the game."
Notre Dame played without senior Natalie Achonwa, who suffered a torn ACL in the regional final victory over Baylor. The entire team wore shirts in warmups with Achonwa's No. 11 and the 6-foot-3 forward's nickname "Ace" on the back. She helped her team warm up, passing the ball and offering words of encouragement.
McGraw, who was The Associated Press coach of the year, was concerned coming into the game about her team's ability to rebound against the bigger Terrapins without Achonwa. Her team practiced all week on boxing out and not allowing second shots.
It worked. The Irish dominated the Terrapins (28-7) on the boards, outrebounding them in record fashion. Notre Dame had a 50-21 rebounding advantage, including a 19-4 mark on the offensive end. It was the widest rebounding margin ever in a Final Four game, shattering the previous mark of 19 set by Louisiana Tech in 1989. Maryland broke the national semifinals record for fewest rebounds in a game of 25 set by Minnesota in 2004.
"We thought the game would be won on the boards and I think it was," McGraw said. "To hold them to four offensive rebounds for the game was amazing. We did a great job boxing out and really limited their rebounds. Kayla McBride got us off to a phenomenal start."
Said Maryland star Alyssa Thomas: "They wanted it more. They beat us at our own game."
Notre Dame also befuddled Maryland on defense, forcing the Terps into turnovers and poor shots with ever-changing defenses. Thomas, who finished with 14 points, was constantly double-teamed and rarely got good looks at the basket.
Thomas ended her career as the school's all-time leading scorer and rebounder. She had waited four years to make the Final Four. Coach Brenda Frese took her out with 1:33 left, giving her star a long hug as she headed to the bench.
This was Maryland's first trip to the Final Four since winning the championship in 2006. The Terps were intent on crashing the party and ruining Notre Dame's perfect season.
For the first 12 minutes they were able to keep the game close. They only trailed 23-21 before McBride and Notre Dame took control with a 10-0 run. McBride had the first five points hitting a layup and converting a nifty three-point play.
Taya Reimer, who replaced Achonwa in the starting lineup, scored her first points of the game on a layup to cap the burst and make it 33-21. The teams traded baskets over the next few minutes and the Irish led 37-27 before closing the half by scoring 11 of the final 15 points, including a crisp pass from Reimer to a cutting McBride for a layup – a play often run between Achonwa and McBride.
The first half was similar to the first meeting in the regular season when the Irish jumped all over the Terrapins, taking a 22-point advantage before Maryland rallied.
There was no comeback this time.
"Obviously the better team won," Frese said. "Notre Dame did a terrific job. They took advantage and set the tone from the first possession. We really struggled to have an answer for (Jewell) Loyd and McBride."
Lloyd finished with 16 points and McBride slammed the door. She scored five straight points, including a 3-pointer and a pullup jumper that made it 59-37 with 15:46 left. The Terrapins never challenged the rest of the way.
"I was trying to have fun. The last few games I've been pressing a little bit. I tried to do too much," McBride said. "I let this game come to me. I got us out and gave us that confidence but (my teammates) took care of the rest."

Town's Development side fall to defeat
Huddersfield Town's Development squad started their season with a defeat as they went down 2-0 to Crewe at Canalside Sports Complex.
Steve Eyre included a number of senior professionals and trialists in his side as they looked to start the under-21 season in a positive manner.
The visitors started well and took advantage of Town's poor play at the back to force two openings within the first five minutes when Harry Clayton lobbed over and then Michael Roberts forced Lloyd Allinson to palm away a powerful shot.
Town struggled to keep possession of the ball during the opening exchanges but when they did Chris Atkinson rose to the fore and it was his driving run midway through the first half that released Matt Crooks, but he could only fire high and wide over the Crewe goal.
As the half drew to a close Jordan Sinnott, trialist Dale Hopson and Kallum Higginbotham all attempted long range efforts with none of the trio having any joy. The best chance of the half for Town fell to defender Murray Wallace but he failed to direct his header on target from Kallum Higginbotham's corner.
Town's two other trialists (Robbie McIntyre and Tommy Smith) filled the full-back berths and it was the former Rangers youth team player McIntyre who had the first effort of the second half after cutting in from the left.
The Terriers bossed the opening 15 minutes of the second 45 and looked to have what appeared to be a stone wall penalty appeal turned down when Max Leonard was fouled at the back stick. Last year's under-18s top scorer had earlier tested Ben Garrett with an effort from 18 yards.
Crewe were looking handy on the counter attack and after Town's midfield had dropped off Billy Waters the Crewe midfielder took full advantage smashing the ball home from 25 yards past a diving Allinson.
Eyre's men had chances to draw themselves level when Crooks spurned a chance at the back stick and then substitute Connor Loftus accidentally found himself in the away of trialist's Dale Hopson's goal-bound effort.
The visitors put the game out of sight with six minutes remaining when Harry Clayton prodded home at the far post after Town had failed to clear their lines from a corner.
Town's team (4-3-1-2):
Lloyd Allinson; Robbie McIntyre (trialist), Anthony Gerrard, Murray Wallace, Tommy Smith (trialist); Chris Atkinson, Dale Hopson (trialist), Jordan Sinnott; Kallum Higginbotham; Matt Crooks, Max Leonard
Nick Colgan, Joe Wright, Kedesh Goddard, George Conway, Connor Loftus

Gritting and roads
Keeping North Lanarkshire moving
During winter we monitor the weather forecasts daily to decide if the road network needs to be treated with salt.
Weather and road conditions can vary significantly across North Lanarkshire so we may need to treat roads in one area but not another.
We cannot treat all roads at the same time so, with our partner Amey, we prioritise and treat according to our Winter Service Policy and Procedures [280kb].
Our first priority is to salt:
- all 'A' and 'B' roads, main distributor roads and main roads around schools
- major bus routes
- town centres
- access road to hospitals, ambulance depots, and key police and fire stations
When severe weather is forecast, these priority routes are usually treated with salt from 5.00am, before the morning peak and again in the evening, if freezing weather continues and road conditions require. If we have snow, these routes will be our priority to keep clear.
These routes cover 920 kilometres, 57% of our public road network and allow the majority of road users to travel across the council area and link with trunk roads and motorways. Transport Scotland oversees maintenance of the trunk road network and motorways, including winter gritting and clearing.
We have a similar system for treating footpaths. We prioritise:
- Urban shopping areas and precincts
- Main pedestrian routes linking homes, schools, shopping and industrial areas.
Trunk roads and motorways (the M8, M73, M74) are the responsibility of the Scottish Government. You can find live information on the motorway network at Traffic Scotland.
Grit bins
There are over 2,400 grit bins across North Lanarkshire and these are topped up at the beginning of the winter period then refilled on a reactive basis. You can find out where your nearest bin is here.
We would ask residents to use these to keep local paths and streets clear and safe, and to help elderly neighbours who might not be able to clear the paths adjacent to their own properties.

When I was a young, I was painfully shy; I was the kid in class who dared not raise her hand to answer a question. However, I had no trouble making friends, and my friends ranged from shy to popular to outspoken. But by the time I started high school, I was tired of being timid. Like most of my family, I'd always had strong opinions, but didn't share them much, except with my closest friends. So, I made a conscious decision to change. It wasn't one of those lightning-bolt-from-the-sky moments, or I'd remember the exact date. And I didn't share my decision with anyone; it was my big secret.
Every football game day, we had a theme for the day and for the pep rally during school hours. The student body was encouraged to dress the part, to show our team spirit. For example, "Sock it to the Wildcats" would mean we'd wear crazy socks all day. One day, our theme involved jumping or hopping on our opposing team. I don't remember the slogan, but I remember my interpretation of it. I went through that day dressed as a rabbit; it was my first big coming-out-of-my-shell day.
Many years after high school, I ran into a fellow alumnus I vaguely recognized but hadn't known personally. But he recognized me very well. "Hey, I remember when you dressed up as a rabbit in high school."
Stunned, I wondered if he could be mistaken. Then a vague recollection, much like those hazy flashback scenes in old TV shows, floated through my mind as I replied, "I'd forgotten all about that. I can't believe you remember that."
"Um, it's hard to forget someone walking around as a rabbit all day."
Indeed. Unless you happen to be the rabbit impersonator, and buried that memory in the what-was-I-thinking drawer of your brain.
It had been easy to change my behavior when I dressed up as something I wasn't or wore accessories that stood out. People were drawn to what I was wearing, and laughed, which helped me become more visible while I safely hid behind my wardrobe and played a role.
When I dressed up for punk rock day, my picture ended up on the back cover of my senior yearbook; I hadn't expected to have a permanent record of that lovely display of courage. But, I carried on. Being on the newspaper staff in junior high had given me a name; reporting for the high school paper gave me confidence. Regularly interviewing people for feature articles, drawing attention through editorials, and co-editing the paper left no room for shyness. I was forced to get out of my comfort zone on a daily basis. It was exhilarating.
All that confidence led to my trying out for the high school Senior Variety Show, along with several girlfriends. We decided to lip sync to "Another One Bites the Dust," with a little choreography thrown in. But our audition bit the dust. Apparently, we weren't as entertaining as we'd thought. I enjoyed being on stage, although it was scary. I'd always wished I'd tried drama, but could never get past the fear that I might forget my lines. Daily, I forget why I walk into a particular room in my house, so I can't imagine having to remember dialogue. But I could portray a mime. I'm considering auditioning for a part at a community theater, when I turn 85. If I forget what to say, they'll just blame it on my age.
The more I practiced not being shy, the more extroverted I became. "Fake it till you make it" was my lifestyle. And it worked. When the costumes finally came off, figuratively speaking, I was who I'd wanted to be for a long time. The me I was meant to be.
But the most important part of my transformation was learning the power of practicing something I wanted to be true. I wanted to be seen and heard, voice my opinions, and make people smile and laugh – including people I didn't know. Not much has changed; those are still some of my top goals. I've added many other life goals as I've aged. And lately, one goal in particular becomes more important with each passing day.
In the past year, over 20 people I've known have died. I wasn't close to all of them, and some were spouses of girlfriends, so I'm closer to the widows than I was to the deceased. But some of them were such a part of my world, I'm still learning how to do life without them. I've grieved rivers, both for myself and for their families. Among those who've left this world are my stepmom, my mother, and dearly beloved friends my age. In the midst of these times, I've changed. I've grown. I've learned a lot about life from those who were dying; their journeys have affected mine.
For weeks after Mom left, I sat on my couch. Every morning, I turned on the living room lamp and sat there alone.
"What are you doing?" Flash asked the first time he walked into the living room and saw me staring into space.
"I'm just sitting," I replied.
Day after day, this was my ritual. No TV, no music, no phone - just nothingness. Sometimes I cried, sometimes I laughed at memories, a couple of times I read my Bible. But most of the time, I was just still, listening. I had more peace than I've ever experienced. Peace of mind; peace in my spirit. Nothing bothered me for those five weeks; if you know my propensity for worry, you know this was a personal record.
During this time, Cowboy was sick for 23 days, due in large part to his own grief; for the first time in seven years, he told me he was sad. But it was a treasured time of healing for both of us. Even in the midst of his illness, and when other daily issues arose, I had no worry. Peace reigned.
"I held my mother's hand while she left this earth," I told my friend Rosebud. "That was one of the greatest honors of my life. All the other stuff I thought was important, isn't. Things that would usually stress me out, don't; those things are so temporary." My perspective had become more eternal.
Don't let me change back, I begged God one morning. I want to be like this forever. To never sweat the small stuff again.
But, when the sixth week came, the Stress Monster reared his ugly head, bringing Worry along with him. As you see, dear reader, I assume Stress is a male. I gave in to pressure, trading my Eternal Glasses for my old Earth-Bound Glasses. It was disappointing.
For several days I walked around disgruntled. When I had to deal with health insurance issues, a task that can drive anyone to commit homicide, I was grouchy. When I had too many interruptions during the day, preventing me from finishing my to-do list so I could relax, I was snappy. The old me was back. And she was getting on my nerves. I wanted my peace back.
Then, it hit me. Somewhere along the way, I'd quit practicing being still. Suddenly, I realized there was a direct correlation between practicing stillness and how I reacted to stress. When I had taken time to be still, my reactions were calm, and worry fled. That's why Mom didn't have a problem with worry; she regularly spent time being still and listening.
I started making time, again, for stillness. And each time, peace came.
Of course, my new Peace Quest is so powerful, that when drama comes, specifically other people's drama, I resent the interruption. It's one thing to deal with my own drama that creeps up; I don't have time or energy for anyone else's.
"Geez!" I exclaimed in the car one day recently.
"What's wrong?" Flash asked.
"That ticks me off that Mildred messed up my serenity!" I yelled. "I've got to get it back!"
I glanced over to see Flash's shoulders shaking as he laughed. Obviously, I need more practice. And it's best if I practice in the mornings when nobody is around.
"Shhh," I directed Flash one evening last week.
"Why do you keep walking around the living room?" I asked.
"Because I live here," he explained.
"And why do you keep talking to me?" I continued.
"Because I want to. Married people do that sometimes."
"Could you stop talking? I'm trying to get some peace." The situation screamed irony; I'm sure he's thought the same thing countless times throughout our marriage.
I left the room to look for my peace.
I've had to practice many things in life, and still do, including worship, patience, kindness, prayer, mercy, and housework; I'll still be working on that last item when I'm in eternity dusting the pearly gates. But practice always pays off. So, I'll continue being still, one day at a time, knowing that peace isn't the absence of stress – it's a gift that helps me respond to this thing called life. I'm becoming who I've wanted to be for a long time. The me I was meant to be.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer
Share This
Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there.
It can.
She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed.
There is.
She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love.
She's wrong.
Mara wakes from a coma in hospital with no memory of how she got there or of the bizarre accident that caused the deaths of her best friends and her boyfriend, yet left her mysteriously unharmed. The doctors suggest that starting over in a new city, a new school, would be good for her and just to let the memories gradually come back on their own. But Mara's new start is anything but comforting. She sees the faces of her dead friends everywhere, and when she suddenly begins to see other people's deaths right before they happen, Mara wonders whether she's going crazy! And if dealing with all this wasn't enough, Noah Shaw, the most beautiful boy she has ever seen can't seem to leave her alone... but as her life unravels around her, Mara can't help but wonder if Noah has another agenda altogether...

World's oldest DANDRUFF found on head and shoulders of 125m-year-old raptor dinosaur
THE first ever known case of dinosaur dandruff was recently unearthed on the fossilised remains of a small feathered raptor which lived 125 million-years-ago.
A team of international palaeontologists came across the bizarre discovery, dubbed the world's oldest dandruff, after excavating Cretaceous fossils of a feathered raptor in northeast China.
The raptor in question was a small, crow-sized microraptor which had wings on all four limbs but was unable to fly.
Palaeontologists closely examined the fossilised remains and found small specks of dinosaur skin on the prehistoric beast's body
And dinosaur skin finding is being touted as a world first.
Maria McNamara, from University College Cork, said: "This is the only fossil dandruff known.
"Until now we've had no evidence for how dinosaurs shed their skin."
The ancient skin flakes have now given scientists major clues about how dinosaurs disposed of their skins.
Unlike modern-day reptiles which shed their outer layers of skin in vast, large sheets, dinosaurs are now thought to dispose of theirs in small flakes – dandruff.
Dinosaur dandruff: Ancient specks of skin were found on a raptor fossil
The archaeological dig's findings were published in the science journal Nature Communications.
This is the only fossil dandruff known
The paper reads: "Here we report the discovery of fossil skin, preserved with remarkable nanoscale fidelity, in three non-avian maniraptoran dinosaurs and a basal bird from the Cretaceous Jehol biota (China).
"The skin comprises patches of desquamating epidermal corneocytes that preserve a cytoskeletal array of helically coiled α-keratin tonofibrils.
"This structure confirms that basal birds and non-avian dinosaurs shed small epidermal flakes as in modern mammals and birds, but structural differences imply that these Cretaceous taxa had lower body heat production than modern birds."
The palaeontologists wrote the skin flakes are "dandruff-like" in nature and irregular in their shape, size and thickness.
Photographs of the minuscule patches of skin were photographed with powerful electron microscopes, which eject electron beams instead of light to magnify tiny objects.
Among other things, the scientists concluded the dinosaur dandruff lacked fat, making their skin radically different to that of modern-day birds.
Modern birds have skin full of fatty corneocytes tied together with keratin.
This skin feature helps birds lose excess heat when flying suggesting the ancient bird-reptile hybrids did not get as warm.

The reason I picked up Bambi is because I am now on a Disney critical discussion podcast and feel it is appropriate to read the original texts that Disney would later adapt. I have now since read Snow White, The Snow Queen, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, and am currently reading the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I'm not reading these books to see how the original stories are better. I come from both sides of the pond in the argument between book purists and Hollywood gurus. 99% of the time I would be on the book purist side...but then there are Disney movies and I'm actually a big supporter of Disney and what they do, so coming at the issue from this angle is challenging for me because I am starting to see why some complain that Disney ruins their favorite story. That being said, I do not believe that Bambi was ruined by Disney.
Bambi is a story written by Felix Salten about a young deer growing up in the woods. It is a coming of age narrative in which Bambi must learn to face the harsh reality of life amidst such beauty and majesty within the space that surrounds him. He grows from a curious young fawn to the wise Prince of the forest. The book places heavy emphasis on a character called "He" who the deer believe to be a three armed creature who creates a thunderous clap and one of their own ends up dead straight afterwards. From the very beginning when Bambi's mother takes him to the meadow, Bambi is taught to be cautious and to run when his mother runs and to be on the lookout. Many of Bambi's relations are killed by "He", including his mother which is known to be one of the saddest moments in Disney history. The forest that surrounds Bambi is alive. The leaves speak to each other just as the birds speak to one another. It seems to have been the choice of Salten to make the forest alive to make the reality of "He" that much more real. The Disney film has often been referred to as a nature preservation activist statement. Neither the book nor the film shy away from painting man in a really really awful light...and just when they seem to be redeemed, something awful happens that ruins their image to the reader once and for all. Since Salten humanizes the forest and the animals, a strong bond is formed between them and the reader and the reader grows to sympathize. After all, that is what good story telling is all about - seeing something from another perspective and learning to sympathize with that particular situation.
As I said above, the novel is very much a coming of age story. Ultimately, as the reader gets further and further into the text it is learned that Bambi must one day take the place of the great Prince of the forest, his father. Through his circumstances Bambi gradually becomes more and more distant from his own kind and instead grows close to the great Prince who he admires dearly and the forest itself, where life blooms but is quiet and reflective without forcing interaction. Bambi was always destined to become the great Prince though he never was aware of the fact - his circumstances led him to it. The great Prince before him seems to have carefully planned Bambi's development to one day take his place. This reminds me of Dumbledore from Harry Potter, who we learn from the very beginning when Harry obtained his scar had a plan to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort.
Now, I did make the statement that the Disney movie does not ruin the book and I am sticking to that statement. The film deviates from the original text in small ways - for example, it takes out a lot of characters that don't need to be there for the movie. They work for the book but it is hard to keep up on screen. Another deviation is that there is no fire in the book...though Bambi does get shot. What I think the film captures from the book is the very peaceful and reflective tone. The film is unlike it's predecessors which are very much based on structure and plot while this story focuses on the characters and the poignant beauty of their world. For example, in the film we hear the beautiful music that coincides perfectly with the rain storm and see a wide array of colors depicting the landscape in which Bambi resides. I listened to a commentary of the film earlier this year and the two gentlemen watching this film kept complaining about how boring it was because of the long shots of the leaves falling to the water or the long scene where Bambi and his mother search for food in the winter but I actually love these small touches to the movie. It gives the viewer that much more perspective and lets them digest everything that is happening. Stories like Pinocchio and Dumbo seem to move very quickly while Bambi decides to take things in a slow pace and I really like it. The book is very slow as well...a fast read but a nice and slow pace. I always felt very satisfied when I finished reading a chapter.
Is this book quality? Absolutely. I would recommend it to one and all, whether you be a Disney fan or a nature activist or a children's lit lover or maybe even just a book lover. The book is wonderful and it makes me rather sad to know that so little people have read it. I will also clarify that I don't blame Disney for the fact that so many people don't read the original text. Yes Disney dominates the screen but they aren't at fault for people being lazy and not doing research. This book is an A++!

AbstractCone crushers are used in the aggregates and mining industries to crush rock material. The pressure on cone crusher liners is the key factor that influences the hydraulic pressure, power draw and liner wear. In order to dynamically analyze and calculate cone crusher performance along with liner wear, a series of experiments are performed to obtain the crushed rock material samples from a crushing plant at different time intervals. In this study, piston die tests are carried out and a model relating compression coefficient, compression ratio and particle size distribution to a corresponding pressure is presented. On this basis, a new wear prediction model is proposed combining the empirical model for predicting liner wear with time parameter. A simple and practical model, based on the wear model and interparticle breakage, is presented for calculating compression ratio of each crushing zone along with liner wear. Furthermore, the size distribution of the product is calculated based on existing size reduction process model. A method of analysis of product size distribution and shape in the crushing process considering liner wear is proposed. Finally, the validity of the wear model is verified via testing. The result shows that there is a significant improvement of the prediction of cone crusher performance considering liner wear as compared to the previous model. View Full-Text

The Lou Box Dress 1, view A features traditional in-seam pockets. During my development of the pattern, I found two methods for attaching them when using a knit fabric. The first is detailed in the instruction booklet and is more similar to sewing with a woven fabric. This second method uses a serger for the majority of the sewing and a conventional machine to finish it off.
I cannot take credit for inventing this technique. I first learned it in this post by Johanna Lu of The Last Stitch. It's also part of the instructions for the Sweatshirt Dress designed by Emily of In The Folds. They are both very talented sewists so make sure to check out their blogs and shops. Johanna released an e-book about sewing activewear last year and Emily has a shop full of stellar patterns.
By this point in the construction of your dress, you will sewn the shoulders, neck binding and sewn the sleeves to the shoulders. In this tutorial, we will sew the pockets to the dress and sew the side seams.
How to Sew In-Sew Pockets with a Serger/Overlocker
Step 1: With right sides together, pin pockets to front and back matching circle markings. Try on the dress to check that you like the pocket placement. Using the serger with the knife disengaged, stitch the pockets in place. Press pockets away from the dress.
Note: This fabric is a thick ponte knit fabric so to cut down on the bulk I used a lightweight knit for the pockets sewn to the front of the dress. Also, it was a little hard to see the stitching in the photos so I've added the blue line to show you where to sew.
Step 2: Pin front to back along the side seams matching underarm seam and pockets. Serge/overlock from the end of the sleeve, down the side, around the pockets and all the way to the hem. You'll be able to use the 1/2 inch seam allowance everywhere except the inner curved edges of the pockets. We'll fix that in the next step.
Step 3: Now we need to make the opening for the pockets smaller. Grab your conventional machine and set it to a narrow zig zag or a stretch stitch. I usually eyeball this but it's a good idea to use a ruler to mark the seam line (1/2 inch from the edge of the pocket/side seam).
Starting above the pocket, stitch down towards the pocket until you're about an inch below the top of the pocket. Backstitch and trim threads. Repeat for the bottom part of the pocket. Starting about 1 inch above the bottom of the pocket, stitch until you reach the serged stitches.
That's it! See below for the rest of the sewalong schedule, links to the patterns or to catch up on previous posts. Happy sewing!

Great to see that the Marine Conservation Society have updated their sustainable fish guide website, Fish Online, to make it even easier to check out which fish we can eat with a clear conscience and which we should be avoiding to protect fish stocks – the site now includes an easy to use search bar & monthly recipes for the fish that are in season.
Don't miss the downloadable Pocket Good Fish Guide & their mobile app to make it easy to check out the fish available when you are out shopping.
Glad to see that Omega 3 rich fresh anchovies are still on the "Fish to Eat" list! These are available from all good fish counters & deli sections in supermarkets as well as from independent fishmongers. They come marinated in plain olive oil or with herbs & spices. Fresh anchovies need no cooking so can be quickly added cold to salads, or if you prefer them warm then they work well heated through in pasta sauces or laid on top of other fish towards the end of their cooking time to bring out their fabulous flavour.
Could eating more fish make you feel happier & healthier? Nourish, the photographic food diary on the Soul Nutrition Website, helps you to track how you feel as you play around with your food choices – so you can decide for yourself if all those health claims about eating more fish are really true!

The New York Yankees spent like the Yankees of old Wednesday, agreeing to sign Masahiro Tanaka to the biggest contract ever obtained by a Japanese import.
Terms: Seven years, $155 million with player opt-out clause after year four. Yankees send $20-million release fee to Japan's Rakuten Golden Eagles.
2013 stats: 24-0, 1.27 ERA, 212 innings, 183 strikeouts, 32 walks, 168 hits, 6 home runs (in Japan's NPB)
Draft implications: Not linked to draft pick compensation
Analysis: Let's start with the money. The $155-million commitment surprised some industry observers, though Tanaka's decision to choose the Yankees did not. Committing $155 million plus a $20-million posting fee for a pitcher who has never pitched at the MLB level shows that MLB teams value youth and are increasingly willing to bet that Japanese players can successfully transition to MLB.
Credit agent Casey Close for obtaining an opt-out clause and a no-trade clause in the deal. The opt-out gives Tanaka the flexibility to move on or renegotiate four seasons from now in addition to the $155-million guarantee. It has become a signature addition of Close's of late; he has also obtained the opt-out clauses for Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw. MLB player agents predict that this won't be the last we see of the clause.
Eventually this deal will help set the market for Max Scherzer, Homer Bailey and Jon Lester. All three are positioned to ask for free agents deals worth well in excess of $100 million when they hit the open market a year from now.
More immediately, the Tanaka deal allows the rest of the off-season to get moving. Expect negotiations for the likes of Ervin Santana, Ubaldo Jimenez and Matt Garza to pick up in the coming days. Zero major deals were completed during the four weeks of Tanaka's availability, but all involved have likely waited around for long enough by now.
Roster impact: The Yankees look like a contender now, but they're by no means a lock for the post-
season. Even after adding Tanaka, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran to deals that cost a total approaching $500 million, the Yankees must compete with the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees did manage to create some separation between themselves and the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles, two teams that have had particularly quiet off-seasons to date.
With Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira and Brian Roberts projected as everyday infielders, the Yankees have plenty of injury questions on their roster. They've added significant depth this winter, and there's a good chance they'll have to use it.
Tanaka joins C.C. Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda, Ivan Nova and David Phelps in the team's projected rotation. The addition deepens the staff enough to relegate the rehabbing Michael Pineda to the bullpen or the minor leagues.
Once the Yankees complete the deal their payroll will exceed baseball's $189 million luxury tax — a threshold they worked for years to avoid. Yet they don't sound concerned. "If it wasn't for revenue sharing, we'd have a payroll of $300 million a year if we wanted to. So we're doing this despite having to pay all that revenue sharing," Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner told the Associated Press. Those comments suggest that the luxury tax operates as a soft cap to some extent, limiting how much ownership will spend.
All things considered: The Yankees put the finishing touch on a George Steinbrenner-esque off-season by adding the best pitcher available. He's more expensive than anticipated, but 25-year-old top-of-the-rotation starters don't come cheap. As for Tanaka, he obtains a tremendous deal, joining a competitive team with a deal that offers both security and the flexibility to opt out.
General manager: Brian Cashman
Agency: Excel Sports Management (Casey Close)
Twitter reaction:
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Tanaka will earn $22 million per season for the first six years of the deal and $23 million in 2020.
Grantland's Jonah Keri notes that the AL East is going to be tons of fun this year.
CBS Sports' Mike Axisa points out that Tanaka could be the youngest player on the Yankees' opening day roster.

The Berry Berry Mew Mew (베리베리 뮤우뮤우) game was made by the Korean dubbers of the anime and was released on CD-Rom for PC. The game is made for kids ages 5 - 10.
The story is basic; The aliens are causing trouble and you must stop them by either freeing caged animals, defeating certain types of Chimera Animas, finding crystals or fighting the aliens themselves.
You can play as all 5 Mew Mews. Your missions, how to complete them, and which aliens you fight and when, differs; depending on which character you choose.
Most text is in Korean but figuring out how to play is very simple. Basic stats and abilities are labeled in English.
The game was made for Windows98, ME, 2000 and XP but it has been proven to work on Windows 7 & Windows 10 as well (Although it may unexpectedly shut down when it tries to go to a new level.).
The game comes in a disc case that is put in a sturdy, decorated cardboard box that can be opened and closed using a heart-shaped magnet. This allows the box to double as both a game-case and a simple safe for kids.
The disc case also holds game instructions, showing character bios, game controls, and a guide to the Chimeras you will fight and items you'll collect.
Game Controls
There are few controls:
- Arrow Keys: Move character.
- Space Bar: Physical attack.
- Enter Key: Select an option/Use Special Attack during gameplay (The Special Attacks used depends on how many "Strawberry Points" you have.)
- Esc Key: Minimize your game screen/Leave Sigyeong's/Keiichiro's Stat Shop.
Getting Started
After starting a new game, choose a Mew Mew to play as: Mew Berry (Ichigo), Mew Mint, Mew Lettuce, Mew Puring (Pudding), or Mew Ruby (Zakuro).
Afterwards, choose a cake (These cakes were featured at the start of the anime's ending theme). The cake you choose determines the stats you will have at the start of the game. What is best to start with depends on the character chosen.
The game will then start.
The main objective, for all characters in Level 1, is to free caged animals while fighting Chimera Animas ; but there are some differences. (ex: Mew Berry/Ichigo gets an extra stage in Level 1 and Mew Puring/Pudding fights Kisshyu/Quiche on the first stage). What follows after Level 1 will differ with each character.
When you fight Chimeras, you get Mew Aqua Points which are used to increase your stats when you enter Sigyeong's/Keiichiro's Stat Shop.
Another way of getting these points is if a Chimera drops a rare Jewelry item.
Another set of items Chimeras will drop are Health Pills, which you can use to restore HP.
Some levels have a timer. This may prove difficult if the player is unable to read or understand Korean.
Special Attacks
Another important aspect of the game is your Percentage Gauge. When you defeat Chimeras, the gauge will increase. When it reaches 100%, you get a "Strawberry Point" that appears under your character's icon.
A maximum of 3 Strawberry Points are able to be obtained. These special points allow the player to use special attacks.
List of special abilities:
Mew Berry (Ichigo):
- 1 Strawberry Point - Tail Whip
- 2 Strawberry Points - Berry Check! (Ribbon Strawberry Check!)
- 3 Strawberry Points - Attack + 2 (Adds 2 points to your physical attack strength.)
Mew Mint:
- 1 Strawberry Point - Mint Echo! (Ribbon Mint Echo!)
- 2 Strawberry Points - Mint Cyclone (Sends a barrage of Ribbon Mint Echo! in all directions.)
- 3 Strawberry Points - Penetrate Arrow (Adds attack speed.)
Mew Leti/Lettuce:
- 1 Strawberry Point - Leti Aqua Rush! (Ribbon Lettuce Rush!)
- 2 Strawberry Points - Aqua Missile (Three Ribbon Lettuce Rush! attacks.)
- 3 Strawberry Points - Regenerating Health (Recover a small amount of HP.)
Mew Puring (Pudding):
- 1 Strawberry Point - Puring Kick
- 2 Strawberry Points - Puring Inferno! (Ribbon PuRing Ring Inferno!)
- 3 Strawberry Points - Puring Bust Move (Multiple kicks.)
Mew Ruby (Zakuro):
- 1 Strawberry Point - Speed Kick
- 2 Strawberry Points - Double Spear (Uses whip to stab enemies twice.)
- 3 Strawberry Points - Ruby Spear Dance! (Ribbon ZaCross Pure!)

How to Drop Off the Grid is a silly video about how to end the soul-crushing cycle of meaningless, existential-crisis-inducing work.
According to their page, Howcast and internet pranksters Poykpac teamed up to bring you a seriously tongue-in-cheek workplace series, appropriately titled "Oh Crap! It's Monday." This is the 1st installment. It's soon to be followed by "How to Go F' Yourself", "How to Make Enemies" and "How to Be a Sell Out."
A case of the Mondays indeed.

Cape Town - The South African government wants to reassure the public that the boards and management teams at state-owned entities were not just changed for the sake of it, but was put in place to start a process to recover all the monies that had been stolen from the public purse, parliament heard on Wednesday.
Public enterprise minister Pravin Gordhan told MPs that his department wanted to know how much money had been stolen, from which entity, by what mechanism and where has gone to.
Gordhan was briefing a joint meeting of Parliament's public enterprises committee on the department's plan of action to turn around state-owned companies and to root out corruption that has crippled a large number of them.
"We need that money back in South Africa, so we want to put in place a process of collaboration, both amongst our own South African entities, but if needs be, with others as well to actually recover the stolen funds from these entities," said Gordhan.

Churchill, Thatcher and their psychopathic tendencies?
Some of the most successful politicians share some of their personality traits with psychopaths, but that really is a good thing, according to a leading academic.
Oxford University Research Fellow Dr Kevin Dutton said for them to be effective, it was vital for political leaders to have a little of the so-called something of the night about them.
David Thompson also spoke to actor Robert Hardy, who has played Winston Churchill, and House of Cards author Lord Dobbs who explained how Conservative Central Office wasted money try to make Margaret Thatcher "appear kind and cuddly" and he reckoned "she did not want to be loved".

Reading is a crucial form of intellectual exchange, but it is also an elusive activity, something that can be done in very different ways. To uncover the history of reading historians look for traces of these different reading practices. Handwritten annotations in books are an important key to understand how historical readers used their books. ABO aims to bring these books together. It is a digital library that reveals the variety of traces that readers left in their books. These examples were previously dispersed over many different libraries in the world. Yet it is also a digital laboratory, where visitors can work together: ABO has tools to enrich the early modern annotations with transcriptions and translations. ABO seeks to encourage collaboration. It invites contributions of colleagues in all related disciplines.

Includes Rare Original Dust Jacket
|Very Good
Bobbs-Merrill Company, Indianapolis, 1943. FIRST EDITION, second issue without first edition statement on the copyright page. The author's first major 'Objectivist' novel, as well as her first best-seller. Octavo, original maroon cloth lettered in somewhat faded gilt on the front panel and spine . The dustjacket features a $3.00 price at the base of the front flat and a photo of the author along with three reviews of the book at the rear. All first edition errors are present in this volume: Page 9: The "9" looks like an "o" at the bottom. Page 321, Line 5: "referred" is spelled "refrred". Page 381, Line 4: The "G" in "G. W. " is slightly smaller. Page 480, Line 2: "Dominique" is spelled "Domininque". Very good condition in a complete good condition non price clipped dust jacket with some expected wear and edge chips and closed tears. This original dustjacket is vibrant in color and has the $3.00 price printed on bottom flap. Increasingly rare, especially without the usual restoration that is encountered with this dust jacket. "Although Rand was a previously published novelist and had a successful Broadway play, she faced difficulty in finding a publisher she thought right for The Fountainhead. She let Macmillian Publishing go when they rejected her demand for better publicity (Branden, 1986), and when her agent criticized the novel, she fired him and handled submissions herself (Burns, 2009). After sifting through eleven more publishers, Rand finally released The Fountainhead with Bobbs-Merrill Company in 1943. The reception was instant, and The Fountainhead became a bestseller in two years. The protagonist, Howard Roark, whose character was thought to be inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, is a young architect fighting against convention. Cited by numerous architects as an inspiration, Ayn Rand said the theme of the book was "individualism versus collectivism, not within politics but within a man's soul." Rand chose architecture as the analogy of her heady themes because of the context of the ascent of modern architecture. It provided an appropriate mode to make relevant her beliefs that the individual is of supreme value, the "fountainhead" of creativity, and that selfishness, properly understood as ethical egoism, is a virtue. Some critics consider The Fountainhead to be Rand's best novel (Merill, 1991). Indeed, philosopher Mark Kingwell described it as "Rand's best work". Rand was born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum in 1905, into a middle-class family living in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the eldest of three daughters (Alisa, Natasha, and Nora) . Her parents were, Zinovy Zacharovich Rosenbaum and Anna Borisovna Rosenbaum, agnostic and largely non-observant Jews. Her father was a chemist and a successful pharmaceutical entrepreneur who earned the privilege of living outside the Jewish Pale of Settlement. (Wikipedia, 2010) . This book was Rand's first major literary success which became a huge seller, matching the later popularity of Atlas Shrugged. Made into a Hollywood film in 1949, with Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal in the lead roles, it has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism." Needless to say, a needed addition to any collection of rare books. Would make a spectacular gift. 754 pages.

Business tools are allowing people to collaborate. Live chat apps have reached millions of users that prefer to communicate in a group on real time instead of sending time-consuming emails. Each day more and more files are shared on the cloud with several users, throw a simple shareable link, allowing people to work together on the same document from different computers. Why until today, why are not allowed to share email?
If you share tasks, why not share email?
Loads of tools have popped up over the last few years offering team-wide, collaborative task/project management. They typically have standard features such as:
- Visual and shared tasks set, so the whole team can always be on the same page;
- Assignment of tasks to team members, so everybody know what everybody else is doing;
- Deadlines for each task, so the team is always on track.
Well, most emails we receive on our day-to-day are actually tasks that need to be done. Likewise, many tasks require us sending email to be sorted. The thing is that emails and tasks work together, side by side. All functionalities above apply exactly the same to emails.
That's why many project management tools such as Trello or Asana offer integrations with your email clients for you to be able to treat emails as tasks in their tools. We believe your inbox can become this universal tasks / emails management tool everybody needs.
Cc and Bcc are redundant
Two of the most used functionalities in email since its creation are "cc" and "bcc". They used to make a lot of sense when email was created a while back, when it was used mainly for personal use and not for business.
The problem is that if you use Email for business – like virtually every single company nowadays – cc and bcc are only ways to duplicate emails, which means sending the same message for multiple people, in multiple inboxes. By definition, "cc" (carbon copy) and bcc (blinded carbon copy) are duplications of emails.
It may become even worse when the 'cced' people decide to reply to the emails also, creating endless threads (or endless email files).
By sharing a single email file, email becomes one single conversation, centralized into one single archive. No more confusions with creating multiple threads or conversations.
Sharing the same login is not smart
Another common practice e in teams working in email is to share an email address, like email@example.com for example. A bunch of people could simply login to the same account and manage emails as a team and everything would be fine, right?
No. There are several issues in this methodology.
The first one is about security: sharing the same password across a number of people is definitely not a good idea. The second one is lack of accountability: when multiple people access the same inbox, there is a high risk of missing important tasks because team members may think that other team members will handle certain things and, in the end, nobody handles anything. Finally, by sharing a login, the team loses its personal settings and organization, like having your own status of read/unread or starred/unstarred for each email, folders, labels, etc.
Start to share email today!
Drag was created to solve email collaboration problems. Drag turns Gmail into Trello-like (kanban) boards, that can be shared with your team in 1 click.

This is how to setup a shared inbox in Drag
1. Set up Drag board(s)
Your main inbox, by default, will turn into a Kanban board. You can create more boards and customize them. Invite the team members that you want to have access to that board.

Select a shared emails to address to sync with that shared board, for example email@example.com . Emails come and go, sometimes it's hard to keep track. We help teams to complete their emails and tasks together and on their own, faster.
3. Do everything directly in Gmail
Select the pen icon on any email or task to see all the extra features we bring to Gmail. Internal team chat, due dates, tasks, calendar integrations… Tip: Here are the extra features to get started.
There are several ways to work collaboratively at work. To share email is a good step towards creating a productive and collaborative environment for your team. You already share messages on instant apps, share tasks in a project management tool or even tickets on a ticketing system. Why not sharing emails to avoid duplication of works? This is why Drag was created.
What now?
This is our attempt at sharing everything. It's as simple as that You don't have to be a customer to follow us.

This week, we celebrate the anniversary of the The Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, which was was opened on October 16th, 1992.
Last week I visited the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, and was fortunate enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour of the old Wright Company factory, where the Wright brothers produced approximately 120 airplanes in 13 different models. It's amazing the factory buildings still stand after more than 100 years, and they have gone through many transitions as other companies in the aviation and automotive industries have retrofitted and used them for their operations.
The Wright Company factory is closed to the public now…but work is underway to open it to visitors as a unit of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park.
Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) and his brother Orville (1871-1948) built their first experimental airplanes in the back of their bicycle shop at 1127 W. Third St. They formed the Wright Company in November 1909. The company operated briefly in rented space until Building 1 was completed in 1910. Building 2 was erected in 1911.
The Wright Company factory was the first in America built for the purpose of manufacturing airplanes. Once restored and open to the public, the factory will complete the story of the Wright brothers' invention, development and commercialization of the airplane in Dayton.
If you're interested in the Wright Brothers, Aviation, Dayton and/or the National Parks, I encourage you to sign up for my newsletter at:
and you'll be the first to know when new posters are released. And, there will be a new poster for the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Site! So stay tuned…
The images here show what the site looks like today (black & white photos) and a couple of renderings of what the new facility will look like!

Veteran actor, Babatunde Omidina aka Baba Suwe, today paid a visit to the Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, in his office in Abuja. The visit comes weeks after the actor went public to solicit for funds to treat an undisclosed ailment that has plagued him for years.
The actor has so far received donations from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who gave N1 million towards his treatment. Only recently, a popular clergywoman also donated N10 million towards his medical care.
See more photos from his visit to the Minister of Health below
