Gold as Valuable as Platinum Now
One good (bad? Who knows, really?) consequence of the impending re-collapse of the world's financial markets: gold prices have risen so high—$1,715 per ounce, at the moment—that gold is now virtually the same price as platinum. A wee bit more expensive, even! All rappers will now be required to trade in their platinum chains for gold ones. Wearing a platinum chain is now as wack as wearing a silver chain was, last week.
Of course, none of you have any gold or platinum. Carry on.

Well. This is embarrassing, isn't it?
You may have noticed my not-inconspicuous vanishing act over the last several months. Chances are the vast majority of my endlessly tolerant readers have long since moved on, which is totally an acceptable (not to mention, honestly, wondrously foresighted) turn of events. To those of you who parted ways long ago, should you ever pop back for nostalgia's sake (as I have been known to do, myself) with the same morbid curiosity that brought your wandering imagination to such an outdated comic in the first place, you pretty much made the right choice. Best to you, thanks for taking the time to read while you did. Rock on.
To those of you who, somehow, managed to keep checking with good hearted (or, in all statistical probability, stalker-hearted) loyalty to a poor wretched scribbled such as myself, you're all champs. Sad, loyal, Fry's-dog-levels-of-heartrendingly-devoted champs and I value you all.
That being said, here's where I disappoint you.
In a shocking turn of events, a situation involving family I had previously never contacted arose in my life right alongside other issues involving life, the (see: my) universe, and generally everything. Just... everything. In an effort to set aside my very nature and approach an emotion resembling emotional attachment in someone outside my very stringently pruned circle of personal friends, I took the opportunity to move across North America and meet some people with my blood.
The plan eventually involved bringing as little of Emily and I's belongings as possible and live close to my family on the West coast, working with them and working on stabilizing our situation. There were concerns about being outside of the States, but we were assured everything would be fine and not to worry. Trust was part of the experience (so I was informed), so we moved forward.
Several months later, after hastily returning to American soil with a breath of relief (which I would never have thought would happen in a sane world), priorities have... shifted. Writing had been my only outlet for the most part, and an old obsession rapidly consumed my time and focus. The story I had been casually fleshing out and preparing quickly became a sprawling science fiction series that I've been pouring myself into and has, frankly, taken over my free time. Free time which is increasingly shortened by a new job (y'know, to pay "dem billz", as I hear the modern nomenclature would have me say).
All-in-all, things are going pretty well right now... just not in terms of the comic. It's not over by any means (I've waaaaaay too much written on it by now), but for the time being I just can't put as much time into as I would need.
Oh, and I don't have a scanner. It's a bit of an issue.
I love "all y'all's" (again, common nomenclature) and all the time you've given to me already, but for now there comic flow is down to a trickle. Here there be little nourishment to be found, you must gather the tribe and bring them unto the internet wastelands. Bring them to the promised land.

Turner syndrome is a condition in which a female's breasts, vagina,
and uterus do not fully develop and puberty does not occur. Females with Turner
syndrome may also have heart problems at birth, have learning disabilities, and
end up much shorter than other members of their family.
Normally, a female has two X chromosomes. Females with Turner
syndrome are missing all or part of one X chromosome. This affects sexual
development and lowers the production of female hormones.
Turner syndrome is also called gonadal dysgenesis or monosomy

Controversial anti-discrimination measure heads to Gov. Hickenlooper
A bill that extends anti-discrimination protections to tiny businesses is on its way to the governor, despite claims from Republican lawmakers that it's anti-business and a payback to trial lawyers.
Democrats say House Bill 1136 protects workers, and note that Colorado is one of only eight states that currently does not have anti-discrimination remedies for businesses with less than 15 employees.
The Democratic-controlled Senate passed the measure 19-16 today, after a lengthy debate on the floor Thursday. Democrat Cheri Jahn of Wheat Ridge joined with Republicans in opposing the measure. It earlier passed the Democratic-controlled House.
Here's the spin from the Senate press offices:
Headline: Coloradans can't afford to lose their jobs because of discrimination
Press release: The Job Protection and Civil Rights Enforcement Act puts muscle behind existing anti-discrimination policy because it provides employees a way to achieve recourse, and it extends protections to workers at businesses with fewer than 15 employees. Under law, employees have rights against discrimination based on disability, race, creed, color, sex, sexual orientation, religion, age, national origin, or ancestry.
Headline: Dem Bill to Punish Small Business Passes, Trial Lawyer Employment Act of 2013 Passes
Press release: Senate Democrats gave final approval to a bill that allows small businesses with 14 or fewer employees to be sued for punitive damages and unlimited attorney's fees. House Bill 1136 extends the right to sue small businesses for compensatory (pain and suffering) damages, punitive damages and unlimited attorneys' fees in an employment lawsuit.
The bill is sponsored by four Democrats: Reps. Claire Levy of Boulder, and Joe Salazar of Thornton, and Sens. Morgan Carroll of Aurora and Lucia Guzman of Denver.

I'm a good fan of yours. Sometime ago I downloaded your SD version of Iron Man 2 (2010) , namely { Iron Man 2 2010 420MB BDRIP H264 AAC - VYTO }. As MCU progressed I got myself a fan for 720p versions for those movies. So, I downloaded a 720p YIFY release for Iron Man 2 (2010).
The thing here is that your version's runtime is 2:07:27 whereas all the other versions ( I searched for everywhere ) are only 2:04:39 , even YIFY.
So, if you have time and the source please be kind enough to release a 720p version of it.
Thank you very much...
Iron Man 2 (2010) 720p Version

Be Careful What You Wish For: Prepping for Sundance/
Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson's film American Promise is set to screen at this year's Sundance Film Festival. Below is part 1 of 3 of an interview with them discussing what it was like to get the confirmation call and their next steps in preparing the film for Sundance, among other things. Stay tuned for the following parts in the days to come.
Joe: When we received the phone call from Sundance, we were in the editing room agonizing over how we should end our film. When the phone rang and we noticed the call was from the Sundance institute, I couldn't bring myself to pick it up so I handed the phone over to Michèle. For a moment, it was as if time stood still. I could hear Michèle say "Hey Shari," after that, even the sound in my head had been drowned down. I had anticipated this moment for years and the thought of hearing no was now impossible for me to come to terms with, only because of my temporary brain fix. Suddenly, Michèle went airborne, jumping up and down, pumping her fist in the air. Then the sound in my mind came back on. She was screaming the word, "YES!"
Michèle: Perhaps there was some fist pumping and jumping up and down, I don't know, I think I was numb with elation. I called my mother in Quebec to share the good news, she asked, "What film did you get in with?" She was surprised that a festival as important as Sundance would accept a home movie. Once all the phone calls to crew members were made the daunting nature of what we had to accomplish by January began to sink in. Be careful what you wish for.
Joe: Preparing for Sundance has felt like running a marathon every day for thirty days. We have day jobs and on top of a busy post-production schedule, we are creating a short for NYT Op-Docs and preparing for the Television Critics Association press conference in Pasadena, which just happens to be the same week as the Open of the Sundance Film Festival. We've also put preparations for our community engagement campaign into high gear. The campaign is huge and we are so excited about its potential for change. So, this means we're now working on adrenaline and less than 5 hours of sleep a day until February.
Michèle: We are set on taking advantage of every opportunity that presents itself for the film and our campaign. And in this day and age of new technologies, that means loads of blogging and social media opportunities to develop a following. Our engagement campaign is a part of that build up to our premiere screening. One small piece of that campaign will begin during our film festival tour. It's unusual to organize a dedicated campaign for a film festival run, so we're hoping we set a precedent for future documentary films. We came up with this idea because we wanted to harvest any good intention resulting from the screening of the film. Since film festivals draw a general audience, we needed something that anyone could do.
Joe: So, as we travel the festival circuit, we're going to ask our audiences to help us raise $100,000 and 100 mentors for Big Brothers Big Sister's Mentoring Brothers in Action program. The goal of this program is to recruit mentors, particularly men of color, and expand the organization's capacity to serve more African American boys. We launched the campaign the week after Sundance announced our acceptance.
Michèle: Idris and Seun are very excited for Sundance; they are eager to represent the film at such a prestigious event – and are certainly more relaxed about it than we are. Although Seun was initially a bit apprehensive about everything, he is getting more and more excited everyday.
Joe: We decided to prepare the boys for press and interviews, our thought was that we did not want them to became overwhelmed in front of the camera. That's when both boys said almost in unison, "we've been in front of a camera for 13 years. What's another week." – I guess the pressure is really on us.

JCPL Has the "411" on New Fiction!
Like most kids, I often wondered what I would be when I grew up. I thought being a secretary would be a great job, but I was really worried, because I knew that secretaries had to learn to write in shorthand.
Seeing some shorthand guides that my mom had around the house, I tried to study those little symbols, but could never piece together how you would actually make a sentence out of them, much less figure out what you had written down after it was all said and done.
Little did I know that as an adult, I would be just as confused when it came to the newest form of communication; texting!
Texting is a test of endurance for me. Where some are CAAC (cool as a cucumber), not every1 (everyone) is ABT2 (about to) understand the 411 (information), and B4YKI (before you know it), you may be ALOL (actually laughing out loud) and be tempted to CSG (chuckle, snicker, grin) at your own boo boos. Texting, I think, is H2S (here to stay), and soon it will be easy as AP (apple pie). AWYFY (are we having fun yet?) If not, you're ABT2 (about 2), as you read about these new fiction titles at JCPL that are 2GTB4G (too good to be forgotten)! Read on!
When ten year old Micah Ellis dies, his parents, Nonie and David Ellis, are put on trial for reckless manslaughter because the family relied solely on prayer to heal their cancer-stricken child. Led by their church's charismatic but underhanded leader, Reverend C.G. Westlund, the overzealous followers of the cult-like religion that they have relied upon find themselves surrounded by a firestorm of controversy. When it is discovered that Westlund coerced Nonie into signing an insurance policy listing himself as beneficiary in the event of Micah's death, the evidence mounts, along with the action in "Bad Faith" by Robert K. Tanenbaum.
When a notorious Russian black marketer holds a fancy reception, Doc Ford goes under the cover of darkness to investigate the billionaire's yacht. Meanwhile, environmental extremists have overtaken the small Florida island, herding everyone together and taking them hostage, promising that one hostage will die every hour until their demands are met. With communication impossible, their only hope for survival may be Doc Ford's special capabilities. The clock is ticking and time is of the essence in "Chasing Midnight" by Randy Wayne White.
Holly Oak has been home to generations, beginning with Susannah Page, a young bride rumored to be a Civil War spy for the North. The mansion is known to be haunted by the ghost of Susannah Page, but when Marielle Bishop marries into the family and is transplanted from the west to her husband's home, she comes to believe that the house itself holds misfortune for the women who live there, and sets out to uncover the truth about Holly Oak in "A Sound Among the Trees" by Susan Meissner.
The setting is a decaying old mansion called Arcadia in western New York State, the era, 1970's.
A group of a dozen or so idealists set up a commune on the grounds of Arcadia; among them, Handy, a musician and the charismatic leader of the group, Astrid, a midwife, Abe, a master carpenter, Hannah, a baker and historian, and Abe and Hannah's only child, Bit, born soon after the commune is settled. Narrated by Bit, "Arcadia" by Lauren Groff chronicles the rise and fall of Arcadia as seen through the eyes of Bit, who is struggling to become his own man outside of the commune.
Now you have the 411 (information) that you need, so PLZ (please) HAND (have a nice day) and GFI (go for it), b/c (because) at JCPL, good fiction is H2S (here to stay)! So T2UL (talk to you later) every1 (everyone)!

There are probably many people, who may remember that some versions of Windows Vista had an effective function called DreamScene. It allows to set video wallpaper in .wmv or .mpeg format as a desktop background. Instead of this Windows 7 has a wallpapers slide show. However DreamScene is not gone away, it was only deactivated and hidden deep within a system. In order to reveal the opportunity to use this function again, one may try a common utility DreamScene Seven. After the program is downloaded, it is necessary to run the file with administrative privileges (right button click is the run as Administrator). Then you have to select the button Install DreamScene. Now a new item Set as Desktop Background will appear in the Video File Context Menu, with the help of which it can be set as a desktop background. So it only remains to visit DreamScene gallery and choose an appropriate video clip for the desktop, there is definitely a wide choice - more than hundred of selective scenes. Foreseen moaning of some ascetics, I would like to conclude, that of course DreamScene profited nothing, but waste the system resources only. But from the other hand, if processor throughput increases constantly every year, why not to occupy it with something. Moreover if some window is open to the entire screen (or a game is running), replaying of movie comes to a halt and the system resources is not wasting.

Q: Why is my water foamy?
Luke- Belen, NM
A: Is foamy water making your pond look more like the inside of a washing machine than an aquatic oasis? All that bubbly white or gray buildup is likely being caused by an excess of organic material in the water.
Accumulation happens when too many fish are living in the pond, you're overfeeding them, filtration is inadequate or there's runoff seeping into your water garden. Then, as the water flows down your waterfall, air and water collide, causing the proteins and other organics to be trapped inside bubbles rather than turning into ammonia and nitrites. Air-water collision is why the foam forms, particularly the base of your waterfall.
What's the solution?
Short-term, you can change out part of the pond's water to remove the foam. When you do, be sure to add some Pond Logic® Stress Reducer PLUS to the fresh water, which will form a beneficial slime coat on your fish and make tap water safe for them. In addition, add Pond Logic® Defoam™ to your water. Safe for fish, plants and wildlife, you simply shake the can and pour its contents into the pond. The foam will disappear in no time.
Long-term, you have several options:
- Increase Filtration: Boost your filtration by adding plants to your pond or increasing the capacity of your existing filtration system.
- Relocate Fish: Too many fish will produce excess waste, which means more foam. The rule is to allow 1 inch of adult fish per square foot of surface area, so if you have too many koi or goldfish in your pond, you might want to think about finding new homes for some of them.
- Cut Back on Meals: If you're feeding your fish too much or too often, the excess food adds to the extra organic material in your pond's water. Only feed your fish an amount they'll eat in a few minutes.
- Add Nutrient-Eating Bacteria: To help break down the nutrient load in the water, add beneficial bacteria in such as, LiquidClear™ to work. They digest the dead organics in the pond, making the water crystal clear and foam free.
- Aerate the Water: Aeration will also help reduce the nutrient load by circulating the water column and feeding fresh oxygen to the busy bacteria.
Foamy water can be a nuisance, but once you achieve some balance in your pond's ecosystem, those bubbles will disappear in no time.
Pond Talk: If you have to reduce the fish population in your pond, how do you find new homes for them?

Bottle with Flip Top Cap
This 4 oz bottle with cap is made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene, recycle code 2) plastic.
Kit Includes:
This 4oz bottle is great for mixing different carrier oils.
I bought 4 of them so far,I have one for my personal use and 3 for client who prefer the different blends of oils instead of standard grape seed. The flip top makes it easy to dispense.
I haven't had any spills and I prefer plastic to glass because it wont break if dropped.
I would recommend these if you are doing out call or working in a setting where you are sharing a room with other therapists.
I do mix essenital oils with my carrier using these bottles, and I know to some this is a cardinal sin. But I use a smaller ratio of essential per ounce of carrior. I find a lot safer to pre mix the oils instead of having to bring the essentail oils into work, because it there is a possiblity of me dropping the glass bottles.
Like I said these bottle are great for when you need to just grab and go.

LYNNWOOD — The city has settled a federal lawsuit with a rape victim who police detectives once accused of lying about being sexually assaulted.
Lynnwood's insurance company agreed to pay the woman $150,000 to put an end to the case.
"More important than the money was to hold police accountable for this horrible wrong and hopefully change how the police department approaches these cases," the woman's attorney, Rich Fisher, said Wednesday.
His client "was determined that this should be brought to light so no other kid would have to go through this," the Seattle lawyer said.
The woman, identified only as "D.M." in court papers, also settled with the Everett-based nonprofit youth advocacy agency, Cocoon House. The woman, then 18, was receiving case management services from Cocoon House and enrolled in a program that provided social services to young people no longer eligible for the state's foster care system.
The terms of the settlement with Cocoon House are confidential, Fisher said.
The woman claimed that the police bullied her into recanting her report that she had been tied up, threatened with a knife and attacked inside her Lynnwood apartment on Aug. 11, 2008.
The officers also told her that if she failed a lie detector test that she would lose her housing, according to the lawsuit.
The woman also alleged that Cocoon House employees failed to help her after she told them she wanted to return to the police department and take back her statement that she hadn't been raped.
The lawsuit alleged that the employees told the teen that if she lied to police she would be removed from the program. She was forced to tell other program participants that she made up the story about being raped.
Lynnwood city prosecutors charged the woman with false reporting. She pleaded guilty and was ordered to undergo mental health counseling and pay a $500 fine.
Lynwood police, however, reopened the rape investigation in 2011 after photographs of the woman and her identification card were found among evidence seized by Colorado police after the arrest of serial rapist Marc O'Leary.
O'Leary later admitted to raping the Lynnwood teenager and a Kirkland woman within two months of each other. The former Mountlake Terrace man sneaked into their homes, bound their hands and gagged them. He repeatedly sexually assaulted the terrified women, snapped photographs of them and threatened to post those on the Internet if they reported the assaults to police.
O'Leary was sentenced in 2012 to more than 28 years for raping the Lynnwood woman and another 40 years for the Kirkland attack. He already was serving a 327-year sentence for the Colorado rapes.
"We were wrong. Everybody feels terrible about it," Lynnwood Police Chief Steve Jensen told The Herald in 2011. "We take sexual assaults very seriously. Our investigators always get charged up to get the bad guys in these cases."
At the time, Jensen explained that doubts were raised because the woman's story had changed and details she provided were inconsistent. Her foster mother and friend were also skeptical about the woman's story, court papers said.
Jensen was named in the lawsuit along with the two detectives, Jeff Mason and Jerry Ritgarn.
"The city's insurance company made the decision to settle," said Lynnwood's attorney, Robert Christie of Seattle. "There was a recognition by the insurance company that some of the claims would survive. A risk management decision was made."
The settlement was reached last month. The money will be paid by the city's insurance company, Christie said.
"Everybody is happy to have the matter behind us," he said.
The woman's record was expunged and the fine refunded after O'Leary was arrested. Lynnwood police have since received additional training about sexual assault investigations.
Fisher said his client, who no longer lives in Washington, is "pleased that the matter has been settled so she can move forward."
She is doing well, which "is an incredible testimony to the strength of her character," he said.

Salivary Gland (SG) Cancers are a rare and heterogeneous group of tumors, usually approached by multidisciplinary teams in high specialized centers. Until today no standard of care exists to treat these cancers. The identification of a target, the androgen receptor, in SG tumors has allowed for new treatment strategies options for this rare group of diseases. As a matter of fact, strong positivity for androgen expression has been found in salivary duct carcinoma and adenocarcinomas. The purpose of this study is therefore to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy versus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic AR expressing SGCs.
The study will include two cohorts of patients: Cohort A, which comprises chemo-naïve patients, and Cohort B, which comprises pretreated patients.
|Condition or disease
|Salivary Gland Cancer
|Drug: bicalutamide + triptorelin Drug: Cisplatin + Doxorubicin Drug: Carboplatin + Paclitaxel

Active Comparator: Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy = either Cisplatin + Doxorubicin or Carboplatin + Paclitaxel
Patients from cohort A (chemonaïve) may be randomized in this arm to receive chemotherapy
Drug: Cisplatin + Doxorubicin
Drug: Carboplatin + Paclitaxel
Experimental: Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)
ADT = bicalutamide + triptorelin
Patients from cohort A (chemonaive) may be randomized to receive ADT, and patients from cohort B (pre-treated) will receive ADT without having been randomized.
Drug: bicalutamide + triptorelin
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 37 months after First Patient In ]PFS is a primary outcome for cohort A
- Response rate (RR) [ Time Frame: 37 months after First Patient In ]RR is a primary outcome for cohort B
- Response Rate (RR) [ Time Frame: 37 months after First Patient In ]RR is a secondary outcome for cohort A
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 37 months after First Patient In ]PFS is a secondary outcome for cohort B
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 37 months after First Patient In ]
- Adverse Events according to CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: 37 months after First Patient In ]adverse events will be recorded using International Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.0, the investigator will assess whether those events are drug related (reasonable possibility, no reasonable possibility) and this assessment will be recorded in the database for all adverse events

Truth is, if there was solid evidence for the existence of God, it then would be a point of fact with no room for faith.
Therefore is it possible that the continued neutrality is being sustain by God for our benefit?

Below is a link to a investigative team that has compiled media evidence and eye witness testimony.
I am not satisfied with their credentials, I am not convinced that they have strong critical thinkers on the team.
Not a surprise Mikhail, as I've yet to find a believer in the supernatural who was a "strong critical thinker" --
I am actually coming to the conclusion, you are a very unhappy lad, and are actually trying to convince yourself that you haven't wasted your life, following a book full of lies, stupidity and testosterone driven morons. Hate to tell you Michael - yep, you have wasted your life. Come into the light Michael, we will pat you on the head, and say never mind, you do have the rest of life to not live in fear and stupidity. Wouldn't it be nice if you weren't so full of hate and violence. Wouldn't it be nice if you weren't a blood thirsty christian.
"Wouldn't it be nice if you weren't a blood thirsty christian."
So this why I feel so drained after talking with most christians, suckyoubus....
Mmm, Unicorn speak with sharp horn!
Yes this is indeed the Abomination of Desolation spoken about by Daniel the prophet and reiterated by Christ, Paul and John. " He shall stand in the Temple of God showing that he is a god,..with all deceivableness of them that perish" This of course forecasts the reconstruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be vassal of the future Imperial Roman Empire as was in the past and under the auspices of Rome/Constantinople shall the Jews be allowed to rebuild the Temple.
And the only source of those, Daniel, Yehsua, Paul and John, come from "three stupid books, and testosterone driven morons" - right?
A pat on the head, is waiting for you Michael. Come into the light, and see the truth, it is better than heaven :)
Doesn't it depress you, talking war up, about who is going to slay whom - knowing full well, that their only problem, was where they were born.
@Michael - You talk of spiritual healers, if those who use them claim they work, what problem have you with that.
This statement shows how gullible you are. Do you also believe in crystals, homeopathy, and do you believe in tithing, to keep these very wealthy religions with their huge buildings and hierarchy in the lifestyle they have become accustomed.
The operative word here, is CLAIMED - I have often wondered why any xian goes to a Doctor or hospital - they just aren't praying hard enough? And geez, wouldn't that save the country a lot of money!
Spiritual stuff just doesn't work, people who claim they do, are charlatans and soothsayers- and going to Africa , that is when you REALLY know they are liars and CHEATS. The ones who do believe in spiritualism are superstitious to begin with, and are easy prey, I understand why, especially in third world countries, they are easily taken in, they WANT to believe in an afterlife, because their life is so shit.
Unless people show their credentials while fleecing the locals - how can YOU believe it.
I am not the medical board allowing the synergy. I am simply stating what the medical board did without judgment.
@Michael - What do YOU think about xians going to doctor or hospital, or having operations? Do you think xians could do just as well, by staying home and praying?
100% of what the world knows to be a Christian is unfortunately a casualty of the Roman/ Byzantium falsehood and is deceived. Thus any of these that rely on faith without having their lives right with God are threading on dangerous ground. God is gracious but he does not endorse falsehood.
Yet God is merciful in many instances.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — An analysis shows there are nearly two dozen inmates who escaped from Illinois prisons or halfway houses over the years and haven't been caught.
The Associated Press collected and analyzed prison data for the number of escaped inmates. It also found 11 who were on the lam have been snared in the past two years. Three died while on the loose.
The Illinois Department of Corrections says it never stops looking for them or closes a case.
Apprehension specialist Mike Harrington says he hunts fugitives by contacting family and trying to determine patterns and practices.
Most inmates listed as escaped fled from transition centers, not from prison lockups.
One inmate escaped in 1955 and hasn't been seen since.

Hi Frank!I was just wondering if it was done on purpose, and if it was part of this particular technique. I've seen something similar with Seguso's "Pulveri" pieces, but there you can actually see the powders and no bubbles. In this piece you see mostly the colors not the powder particles.... I know, I know its another technical question, lol, but as an artist myself, I'm interested in all that stuff I do want this talk to be more about the Artist than the techniques. At 1 point I wanted to sell it, but now I would actually like to see more of the artist and maybe collect it! Thanks!Javier

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Hot shooting from the Santa Clara women's basketball team Thursday night against the Portland Pilots was just the cure for the two-game slide the Broncos brought into the game. Four players scored in double figures and the Broncos as a team passed out a season-high 27 assists as they defeated the Pilots 90-73 at the Leavey Center.
The Broncos (13-11, 5-4 WCC) remain home to close out the weekend, hosting the first-place Gonzaga Bulldogs Saturday night in a scheduled 7 p.m. tip.
Santa Clara shot 49.2% from the floor Thursday night, and also went 15-of-34 in its three-point attempts to run away from the Pilots right from the start. Chandice Cronk led all players with 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting with six assists, while Jen Gottschalk and Anna Martin each scored 16 points and grabbed seven rebounds, and Ashley Graham added 10 points on top of her game-high eight assists.
"Our offensive effort was tremendous tonight," said head coach Michelle Bento-Jackson. "A lot of our assists came off of strong and aggressive penetration and drawing defenders in. I thought Ashley Graham's and Chandice Cronk's decision-making was exceptional tonight. They found the open players, and obviously when you do those things, you will get open looks."
There was no stopping the Broncos after the opening minutes. A 5-4 score in the opening 1:19 was left in the dust as SCU went on a 25-4 run over the next seven-plus minutes to put the Pilots on their heels and take control of the contest. Elizabeth Doran's three got the run started, and Cronk, Gottschalk, Graham, and Martin all subsequently drained threes of their own over the course of the run to give SCU a 33-8 lead only 8:23 into the game.
Santa Clara's lead got to as many as 29 points in the first half, when Ashley Gonnerman's jumper gave the Broncos a 46-17 advantage with 7:19 left in the first half. Portland, though, behind the efforts of Laura Thomas, who led the team with a double-double effort of 15 points and 11 rebounds, recouped some of the deficit by outscoring Santa Clara 18-7 the rest of the half to cut the Bronco lead to 53-35 at the half.
Cronk and Graham then scored the first 11 Bronco points in the second half bring the lead up to 25 at 64-39 in the opening four minutes. Portland got to within 14 twice, taking advantage of Bronco fouls to cash in at the free-throw line, cutting things down to 80-66 and then again at 85-71 with 4:44 left.
The Pilots never got any closer, though, as a three from Tracey Walker put out any smoldering hopes of a Portland comeback, and the Bronco defense locked down and preserved the win.

Cano hits first home HR but Mariners can't top Tanaka
SEATTLE -- In his first 12 MLB starts, Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka rolled through his opponents, allowing three earned runs or fewer in each outing.
On Wednesday night at Safeco Field, the Mariners could muster only a ninth-inning, two-run homer from Robinson Cano -- his first at home this season -- as Tanaka (10-1, 2.02 ERA) allowed just six hits while throwing a complete game to pace New York in a 4-2 Mariners loss.View Full Game Coverage
SEATTLE -- In his first 12 MLB starts, Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka rolled through his opponents, allowing three earned runs or fewer in each outing.
On Wednesday night at Safeco Field, the Mariners could muster only a ninth-inning, two-run homer from Robinson Cano -- his first at home this season -- as Tanaka (10-1, 2.02 ERA) allowed just six hits while throwing a complete game to pace New York in a 4-2 Mariners loss.View Full Game Coverage
When Mark Teixeira lined a three-run shot off Seattle starter Chris Young in the fifth, staking the Yankees to a four-run advantage, the Mariners had a slim chance to rally, given the way Tanaka controlled the strike zone.
The Mariners quickly learned why Hisashi Iwakuma's former teammate with Japan's Tohoku Rakuten team is an early frontrunner in the American League Cy Young and Rookie of the Year Award races. Tanaka retired his first 10 hitters. He spotted his fastball away from the heart of the plate and kept his splitter down in the zone, sometimes in the dirt. He threw 75 of 110 pitches for strikes.
"He was pretty dang good," manager Lloyd McClendon said. "I thought his secondary stuff was pretty good, command was outstanding. Our guys battled our tail off all night, but he made exceptional pitches."
He threw like Iwakuma -- except with an occasional 95-mph fastball. For eight innings, Tanaka's stuff left the Mariners flailing at pitches in front of an announced crowd of 28,434. When he finally seemed to weaken in the ninth, he fanned Kyle Seager and Logan Morrison for his 10th and 11th strikeouts to end the game.
How similar are Iwakuma and Tanaka?
"[There's] a lot of similarities," McClendon said. "One's taller, and one's a little shorter."
Dustin Ackley, who went 0-for-3, offered slightly more insight.
"I think both of them throw their splitfingers really well," he said. "They have a lot of movement on their fastball, and they both have good sliders, so I think they're definitely similar pitchers in that regard."
Tanaka earned his fourth win in a row and helped New York capture its second straight win over the Mariners after dropping its first three games to Seattle to begin the year. But not before Cano lengthened his hitting streak to nine games with his third home run of 2014.
"That was like taking a piano off my shoulder," Cano said after his first Safeco Field homer as a Mariner capped a 1-for-4 night.
The home run came on the first pitch of the at-bat. The ball was up in the zone and over the plate -- a Tanaka rarity.
"You don't want to miss your pitch, because you're not going to see those pitches that often with him -- maybe one or two every at-bat," Cano said.
Tanaka's performance came on a night when Young, who's been impressive in his comeback bid after undergoing surgery to correct thoracic outlet syndrome last year, battled but couldn't extend the perfect record (3-0, 1.89 ERA) he had at Safeco Field entering Wednesday.
In the third, Brian Roberts led off with a single, then Brett Gardner walked. Derek Jeter popped out to catcher Mike Zunino on a bunt attempt, but Jacoby Ellsbury staked the Yankees a 1-0 lead with a soft single into center field that scored Roberts. Young got the next two hitters to end the inning, but it came undone in the fifth, when Teixeira followed a Gardner single, a Jeter flyout and an Ellsbury single with his 11th homer of the season.
Young (5-4) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings en route to his second consecutive loss and fourth in his last six starts. In the latter span, he has a 4.79 ERA over 35 2/3 innings.
"He wasn't very sharp tonight, but listen, this guy is a competitor," McClendon said. "He hung in there and did as good as he could tonight. It's not his best stuff, but that happens, that happens to all of us. He'll bounce back."
The Mariners had their chances.
In the fourth, James Jones lined a one-out single to right field for Seattle's first hit. Cano followed by grounding into a 6-4 fielder's choice before Seager lined a single into right field to put runners on first and second. Appearing in his first MLB game since April 14, Morrison quickly fell behind, 0-2, worked the count to 1-2, but couldn't check his swing on a splitter in the dirt and struck out to end the inning.
There was a flicker of hope in the eighth when Zunino doubled and Brad Miller singled to put runners on the corners with one out, but Miller got doubled off first base when Cole Gillespie lined out to second baseman Roberts.
"I've seen it for the last 35 years of my baseball career, a line drive to second and the guy gets doubled off," McClendon said. "We doubled their guy off last night. It happens. … It's a tough play."
The loss dropped the Mariners to 34-31 on the season and 0-2 on their seven-game homestand.
If there was a silver lining, it was reliever Tom Wilhelmsen. The lanky right-hander tied a career high by pitching three innings. He allowed two hits, a walk and struck out three in his best performance since moving to a middle-relief role.
"I told him this on several occasions: I appreciate his efforts," McClendon said. "He really saved our bullpen again. A lot of times, that goes unnoticed, but he was a warrior for us tonight, and we'll win games as a result of that."
