VANCOUVER - Luka (The Bazooka) Zaharijevic has a nickname worthy of his contribution to the Kitsilano Blue Demons senior high school boys basketball team.
The Bazooka is a multi-faceted weapon who can score, rebound, pass and defend. He stands 6-8, weighs 260 pounds and has hands of velvet. Now in Grade 12, he is pondering the next stage in his career while also pushing the Blue Demons to elite status this year. Kitsilano is 6-0 to start the new season.
"My dream is to play NCAA Division One basketball," the Bazooka said Wednesday after Kits crushed the St. Thomas Aquinas Fighting Saints 121-48 to open the 2012 Telus Classic. "I am looking at any Division One program because my goal is to play pro basketball one day. I would love to be somewhere in Washington or Oregon, somewhere close to home, and preferably somewhere with an architecture program.
"The CIS wouldn't be bad, of course, but I just want to go to the NCAA, even a low Division One school like Seattle University or the University of Portland. It doesn't have to be one of the high ones like Gonzaga or Washington."
The Bazooka has been keeping his marks up, too, to keep his options open.
"I have to brag about that," he responded, smiling. "I worked really hard first term. I took physics, chemistry, math, English, marketing and art and I got all A's. My average was, like, 91 per cent so I'm doing all right."
Zaharijevic schooled the young and under-sized Fighting Saints on Wednesday, netting 23 points along with 13 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and three steals. They had no answer for him inside and when they collapsed, he cleverly dished to wide-open teammates.
"Definitely our team revolves around Luka," noted Blue Demons coach Randy Coutts. "Other teams are going to focus on him because he's such a scoring threat inside. He realizes there are going to be two or three or fours guys on him and the beauty of him is that he passes the ball so well out of the post. If other teams come hard at him, he's kicking it out and we're making cuts and getting lay-ins. So Luka is a good all-round player."
The Bazooka is far from a one-man show, however. The Blue Demons are big, quick and have wonderful depth.
On Wednesday, Vibhor Mathur came off the bench and rained in six three-pointers. He finished with 19 points. Jonathan Kongbo, a 6-6 Grade 11 student playing only his second season of organized basketball , also came off the bench and dropped home 16, including one monstrous dunk that drew howls of appreciation from the near-full Kits gym. Starter Noah Derappard-Yuswack added another 19 for the Blue Demons.
"I'm really excited about this season," said Zaharijevic, the son of Serbian immigrants. "We are an unselfish team and that's one of the key reasons why we've been successful so far and why we will be successful. What I've noticed is that when I get the ball, I'm like a magnet and I attract a lot of defenders so instead of trying to go up against a double or triple team, I find it way more effective to pass to a teammate.
"It's all about patience and it's really been working," he continued. "Honestly, I don't care who scores. I don't care if I score as long as we're playing great team basketball and we're winning."
Having both Zaharijevic and Kongbo for the inside game is luxury for Coutts, now in his 15th season coaching the Blue Demons. He was reluctant to talk about the potential of this particular edition but it seems a slam dunk the Demons will be at or near the top of the senior boys AAA rankings this season.
"This is a very good team," Coutts concluded. "We come out and we play hard."
Kitsilano will face the visiting Burnaby South Rebels at 1:45 Thursday in day two of the four-day tournament. The Rebels beat R.C. Palmers 94-89 in their first-round match.

Lyles focuses on advances made in rough outing
DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Astros pitcher Jordan Lyles was roughed up by the Jays on Tuesday afternoon in Dunedin, Fla., allowing six runs and 10 hits -- including two home runs -- in 3 2/3 innings. It has been a rough spring for the 22-year-old, but he remains confident he will make it to where he needs to be when the season starts.
"My stat lines this spring haven't been good in any way, but at the end of the day you can't look at that," he said. "Personally, I would like to be better, but I'm working on things, and I'm going to try to be ready for April and not this month. I'm looking forward to the season. This is the best I felt in Spring Training, and the numbers aren't there for me right now. I'm not overly worried about that."
Lyles, who has allowed 36 hits and 23 earned runs in 11 2/3 innings this spring, gave up a solo homer to Melky Cabrera in the first and a two-run homer to Jose Bautista in the fourth. He said was working on spotting his slider in Tuesday's outing.
"This is probably the first time I've not thrown any cutters and working on the slider," Lyles said. "I really worked on that today, just throwing sliders, and I really like the direction we're going with that, so I can lay off the cutters more. I got some good swings out of guys in that aspect, and I like where that's headed.
"A couple guys made me pay on fastballs today. I'm not too worried about that. They were just balls over the plate, and good players making good swings. The 2-0 fastball to Bautista, that's just a good swing by a really good player."
This was the first time this spring Lyles was paired with Jason Castro, which is something the big right-hander liked.
"It was nice getting back out on the mound working with Jason again for the first time this spring," Lyles said. "It was fun to work with him again, and going into the season hopefully we can get together a couple of more times and get in sync. But like I said, it was good to get back with him today."
Said manager Bo Porter: "He just got the ball elevated and had a chance to put some hitters away and didn't make quality pitches in those situations, and those guys put some pretty good swings on them."

It's rare for an incumbent member of Congress to have a primary, but Republican Doug Lamborn is going to have one. Again.
Robert Blaha, 57, who earlier expressed an interest in running in the 5th Congressional District, is holding his news conference Friday afternoon in Colorado Springs.
Between the 5th CD primary and the doozy of a match up between GOP Reps. Amy Stephens, of Monument, and Marsha Looper, of Calhan, El Paso County will be Ground Zero for the June primary.
Blaha, 57, is the founder of Human Capital Associates.
Lamborn, a former state senator, has served in Congress since 2007. He got lots of ink last year for his efforts to end funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

* Authentic WWE Wear
* Classic Fit
* 100% cotton
* Screen printed in the USA.
He's been dubbed The Great One, The People's Champion and The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment, but mere words fail to capture the essence of the most charismatic Superstar of all time. Although the catchphrase "boots to asses" comes awfully close.
The first third-generation Superstar in WWE history, the man born Dwayne Johnson was destined for sports-entertainment immortality since birth, but his rise to the status of a pop culture icon was harder to predict. In the time since he made his debut as a grinning good guy at the 1996 Survivor Series, The Brahma Bull has won seven WWE Championships, headlined WrestleMania, hosted "Saturday Night Live," written a New York Times bestselling autobiography and starred in films like "Fast Five" and "The Game Plan," which have grossed literally billions of dollars. And, the amazing thing is, he's just getting started.

For the estimated 1% of people worldwide with celiac disease, completely avoiding the gluten protein found in wheat, rye, and barley is the only way to effectively manage the condition and prevent the damaging autoimmune response that occurs with gluten exposure. And its become increasingly popular to give the body a break from gluten for other reasons, with some people claiming to experience decreased inflammation in or finding the gluten-free eating model an easier way to limit carbohydrates.
It might seem like avoiding gluten is as easy as reading a few labels, but until now the lack of a concrete gluten-free definition has made that task complicated. Shedding much-needed light on the issue, the United States Food and Drug Administration has released a new regulation defining the term "gluten-free" for voluntary food labeling.
The FDA regulation stipulates that in order to be labeled gluten-free, a food must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten. Foods with the claims no gluten, free of gluten, and without gluten also must have less than 20 parts per million to meet the gluten-free definition.
Some in the celiac disease community are crying foul, because they only consider something truly gluten-free if it never had gluten in the first place. However, per the new FDA definition, even foods and beverages that originally contained significant quantities of gluten can be labeled gluten-free, so long as they are processed to bring gluten levels in the final product down to less than 20 parts per million.
As an example of how this works, some breweries brew beer in the conventional way, using gluten-containing grains, then employ a process that removes the gluten from the finished beverage to bring the levels down to less than 20 parts per million. This beer is considered gluten-free per the new FDA definition.
The 20 parts per million definition is based on the scientific consensus that even people with celiac disease will not react to gluten at a concentration of less than 20 parts per million. However, if you want to keep your gluten exposure as close to zero as possible, stick to tried and true ways of avoiding it:

Zanne is currently working as a freelance Internet Marketing Strategist for Zeno Blue eMarketing.

What is Social Media? Facebook can't help my business? Social media is a Fad. Twitter is only for young kids. Have you found yourself as a scrapbook store or online retailer, saying these things to yourself? Don't. Social media is not as scary as you think and it will increase traffic to your Scrapbook business.
There are many definitions of social media. I define it as any content in your voice, third-party content (blogs, articles, etc), pictures and videos that you share online. Let's focus on the two most popular social media sites. We'll talk about getting started on Facebook and Twitter, and how these sites can improve business.
You say your scrapbook business already has an email newsletter, and you don't know why you would need any other form of communication? Because Facebook and Twitter give your customers something that your email blasts don't: personal interaction. Customers want to be a part of your business. They want to give you suggestions on what they want to buy. They want to know your sales in real time. They want to be able to upload a layout they made with products bought at your store. What better enticement to bring in new customers as testimonials from your existing customers?
Facebook just surpassed 300 Million users and according to iStrategyLabs.com the fastest growing demographic of users are in the 35 to 54 years old. This age group has grown 200% just over the last year, and the 55-year-old age group grew from 1 to 50 Million users in the last 6 months. This is your target demographic, and Facebook and Twitter is where your new and repeat customers are.
Don't think of Twitter and Facebook as for posting when you are taking your kids to the dentist, what you are eating for dinner or, goodness gracious, any intimate details. (We really don't want to know!) Think of it as another extension of your marketing plan. Instead of placing a newspaper ad (while readership continues to decline and rates are high) utilize the free tools of social media sites. With "smart phone" applications, users are able to access these social media sites faster than a website.
Set up a Facebook Fan Page under your business name. It will enable to you to list your address, directions and if you have a blog you can set up your Facebook Fan Page to pull from every blog post. If your customers log into Facebook you are saving them time by allowing to see all your business events, new products, and sales in one place. Your customers may post and ask questions, so be sure to log in at least once a day and answer these questions. Don't set up a "Fan Page" and forget about it. This defeats the purpose. Interaction with your customers makes them feel like an important aspect of your business. They then can "share" your Facebook Fan Page with friends, and so on and so on. This "Fan Page" will eventually be picked up in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. So if your brick-and-mortar store doesn't currently have a website, this can serve a similar purpose.
Start a Twitter account also under your business name and post (called a "Tweet") at least every other day at least about sales you might be having. Keep in mind that you are limited to 140 characters, so if you want to say more save it for your Facebook page. Search out other scrapbook companies, personalities or interests on Twitter and "follow" them to see what they are "Tweeting" about. This will help you learn what to and what not to say.
I have only scratched the surface of how social media can improve your scrapbook business. Now don't be afraid. Social media is not a fad! Jump on the bandwagon and increase your customer base!

Step 4: Install Your System
Once you have completed your energy audit, selected a solar installer and applied for the proper permits from local government, you are ready to put the panels on the roof. Typically, it will take your solar installer no more than two or three days to complete the installation. Once the panels are on the roof, the installer will hook the system up to a separate meter that measures the energy output of the panels. Finally, you or your installer will contact your utility to connect it to the grid. When your system is connected to the grid, any electricity you produce in excess of your consumption will be sent back to the grid and credited on your account.
Because the CSI Program seeks to install the best performing systems available, you may be required to have some or all of the following inspections:
- Local Government Inspections or Building Permits
- Utility Interconnection
- California Solar Initiative Inspection
After the panels are installed, local government will typically require an inspection of the building to ensure the panels have been installed properly and there are no outstanding safety issues.
A representative of your utility will conduct a visual inspection of your system when visiting the site to interconnect the system to the grid.
A random sample of program applications will also be selected for a more detailed inspection to ensure that the systems being installed are accurately represented in the applications. If the inspection reveals problems with the installation, corrections may be required prior to payment of the rebate.
- Step 1: Energy Efficiency Audit
- Step 2: Find a Solar Installer
- Step 3: Apply for Rebates
- Step 4: Install Your System
- Step 5: Claim Your Incentive

SOA skills attract higher salaries
The path to riches?
An interesting analysis has just been posted on ITJobsWatch suggesting that jobs advertised in the last three months asking for SOA knowledge and experience offer on average a 27 per cent higher salary than equivalent positions requiring more traditional "processes and methodologies" skills.
Compared to the same period last year, however, salaries for SOA-related positions came down by 12 per cent on average, while the more traditionally skilled roles rose by two to three per cent.
There are a number of things that could be driving these dynamics. Firstly, the scarcity value of SOA skills is decreasing as more IT pros have acquired that kind of experience and knowledge. Secondly, SOA could be moving from the early adopter community, who are more likely to pay higher salaries, into the thriftier mainstream.
Of course, the cynics would argue that people have begun to see through the hype, and SOA- related salaries are beginning to come down to earth accordingly.
Nevertheless, a 27 per cent premium (average salary £59,484 versus £46,869 in the UK) is not to be sniffed at, so SOA is something that is probably worth paying attention to.
Meanwhile, you can help us get to the truth behind this SOA thing by giving us 10 minutes of your valuable time to complete this month's Reg Reader Survey. You never know, the questions might even give you some pointers to what you're likely to be asked in that next job interview

BSI Launches New In Vitro Diagnostic CE Marking Service
The IVD Extension of Scope Establishes BSI as a Full-Service Notified Body for All European Medical Device Directives
(Reston, VA.––June 14, 2010) BSI is proud to announce the expansion of its world class Notified Body CE Marking Services to include the In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) European Directive 98/79/EC. This new extension establishes BSI as a full-service Notified Body supporting all types of devices, encompassing medical, active implantable and now IVDs. BSI has been accredited with a comprehensive scope which includes all In Vitro devices listed in Annex II List A (high risk) and List B (moderate risk) as well as Self Test which are primarily used by lay persons.
IVDs are an essential and fast growing part of healthcare industry. The In Vitro Diagnostics Directive (IVDD) sets the CE Marking requirements needed to place IVD medical devices on the European market. In Vitro Diagnostics includes devices and accessories used to perform tests on samples, taken away from the body such as blood, urine, tissue, to help detect infection, diagnose a medical condition or prevent disease.
"As technology advances, the divisions between the three Medical Device Directives becomes finer and products may cross over", explains Paul Brooks, Vice President BSI Healthcare. "It is essential that a Notified Body can support clients across all device categories and by extending our scope to include the IVD Directive, BSI will enable customers to work with one organization for all their certification needs."
BSI's IVD Service is built upon the same successful foundation that has made BSI a leading Notified Body, with a worldwide reputation for delivering services that blends experience with safety and speed with predictability. "Our new fully resourced in-house team is one of the most experienced within the industry, states Sue Spencer, BSI Head of IVD. "Our Product Experts have an average 17 years of regulatory and industry experience covering the full scope of IVD products."
BSI is working with two of the world-leading test laboratories, Paul Ehrlich Institut in Germany and Sanquin in the Netherlands to provide Annex II List A Verification of Manufactured Product testing. Companies using these laboratories that choose to transfer to BSI can keep their same testing facilities—this will enable a smoother and more seamless transition.
Gary Slack, Commercial Director BSI Healthcare adds, "In the near future we will be offering a series of dynamic and informative complimentary IVD webinars along with more formal training courses, ranging from beginner to advanced. We have developed an excellent program that is designed to meet the regulatory demands of this exciting marketplace— now and in the future."

Don't think there's much power in the wind? I defy anyone to say that standing here on the deck of the Rainbow Warrior as she heels over at 14 degrees, 838 tonnes of steel moving at 12.8 knots on only four sails, the masts singing as she dolphins through the waves. There's unimaginable power in that wind.
Yesterday, as we transited from Hamburg to Amsterdam, we passed a stunning testimony to just how much power the wind can make: The Princess Amalia Wind Farm, 60 giant wind turbines standing in the North Sea with a capacity of more than 120 megawatts of pure clean energy. That's roughly enough to power around 35,000 US households -- and as much as double that number of Dutch households, which consume quite a bit less. Princess Amalia is only one of several North Sea wind farms that the Netherlands has put in place to try and reach their carbon reduction targets.
At the moment, this capacity is only the tip of the iceberg. We can expect offshore power in Europe to reach at least 40 gigawatts by 2020 under current plans.
Executive Director Kumi Naidoo was on board for our tour of the windmills, and along with our New Hands on Deck, Pablo and Harmony, we looked out on these incredible symbols of hope for the future and could not imagine how anyone could consider these eyesores.
Especially as we'd just come from the REAL eyesore the day previous as the Warrior took her first action against a coal-fired power plant being constructed in Eemshaven despite opposition from local communities, wildlife groups, fisherman, and the owner of a health spa on a downwind island where lung ailments are treated. Oh, and there's also a small matter of a high court ruling saying their permits aren't in order.
The wind has been our friend here aboard the Rainbow Warrior, with Neptune granting us our wish for a good solid breeze to test our new sail rig. "Will a Force 7 gusting to Force 8 do?" asked Neptune. "That'll do," said the crew. And the wind did blow. Pots flew in the galley, a few of us went sliding across the office which sloped downhill from port to starboard. Here's a pretty rough video shot with my iPhone to give you an idea what it was like in the mess that night.
The sails performed brilliantly. We kept the Fisher furled (it's a light wind sail) but we had the inner jib, the outer jib, the Main Staysail and the Mainsail out. Our beautiful ship was leaping through the waves, every single member of the crew had smiles on their faces, and the masts themselves were singing.
Before I went to bed, I tweeted a good night from the middle of the North Sea, saying I was heading off to sleep in a bouncy castle, AKA my bunk way up forward on the Rainbow Warrior. I can't describe what a lovely feeling it is to have your bed toss you gently into the air, as if you were a child, and catch you with a rolling softness as you hear the waves break across the bow. Next morning, I saw that a supporter had tweeted back "I think I own your bunk." And indeed, bunks were one of the items supporters could buy in our e-store, where you could purchase a cleat, a bolt, a piece of sail, a reverse-osmosis fresh water maker, a communications dome, a fast boat launching crane, a porthole, a shower head, a clock, or any of a dozen things I'm looking at right now from the spacious, video-conferencing equipped campaign office I'm sitting in at the moment. To every one of you, Thank You. To those who funded a square meter of sail, you did brilliantly yesterday.
This vessel is not only a testament to what sustainable shipping should look like, it's the flagship of the Energy [R]evolution.

Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.

Two Magnolias: Hearty lunches, catered events and holiday cooking
The heartiest little tea room in Texas is Two Magnolias in the Art Museum of Southeast Texas (AMSET).
We know what you're thinking. "Tea room" means salad and quiche. And yes, Two Magnolias has an extensive selection of salads with homemade dressings and regular quiche offerings, but the restaurant and catering company also offers daily meal specials like stuffed chicken breast and chicken spaghetti; on Fridays, they serve up a plentiful buffet for the hungriest among us.
Owner Becky Burleson has been cooking and catering professionally in Southeast Texas for more than 15 years. She started at Ashland House, then operated out of the Green Beanery in the Oaks Historic District, moving her business five years ago to Café Arts, a spacious alcove in AMSET flanked with windows and the works of a featured local artist.
Quiche loving Southeast Texans will find Burleson's quiches divine, from the Lorraine to the seafood varieties; these lunch pies combine the freshest ingredients all melted together with luscious cheeses. Complement your slice of quiche with a cup of homemade soup of the day – potato, vegetable, among others – or a side garden salad with homemade dressing like creamy cucumber or raspberry vinaigrette.
Every day, Burleson and her chef Vicky Bloodsworth, a graduate of culinary school, make fresh chicken salad. This fall try it with a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo or in the "trio" – chicken salad, fruit salad and garden salad. The "guilt-free" chicken salad is a grilled chicken breast topped with crumbled pecans over a fresh garden salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and onions and served with fat-free raspberry vinaigrette dressing.
Get your salad on bread! Two Magnolias makes a variety of sandwiches and wraps including a vegetable sandwich loaded with veggies on a sourdough bun. Other sandwiches include a grilled panini – ham or turkey with cheese and pesto on a grilled Italian panini bread; shrimp and avocado – shrimp salad, guacamole, lettuce and tomato served on a toasted sourdough bun; and a Magnolia Cuban – Swiss cheese, ham and salami served with mayonnaise, mustard and pickles, and also served on a grilled Italian panini bread. Choose from a dozen different sandwiches and wraps, all served with chips or a side salad.
Daily specials, called the "Hot Plate of the Day," range from meatloaf to Hawaiian chicken over pineapple rice but always come with soup and a fresh garden salad. Word on the street is chicken spaghetti is a local favorite, and Burleson admits that some customers call to find out what day she is serving it.The Friday buffet always includes three or four hot entrees, sides, salad, drink and dessert.
Dessert is divine at Two Magnolias. If you don't get the brownie topped with caramel sauce, get the famous bread pudding or better yet, eat the brownie with lunch and order the bread pudding to take home for dinner.
Get Two Magnolias at home anytime. Burleson and her team are also a full-service catering company. Not only do they provide catering services for events like weddings, charity events, and corporate and cocktail parties at AMSET, but they also go on location bringing their food – from breakfast to box lunches to full meals - and southern hospitality wherever your event may be.
And with the holidays upon us, Two Magnolias is currently taking orders to cook holiday meals. Whether you need bread pudding for 40 or a turkey for your family with all the trimmings, you'll savor the flavors and success of any event when you turn over the holiday cooking to Two Magnolias. The most difficult part of working with Two Magnolias is making your selections from their extensive catering menu at www.twomagnolias.org.
Lunching at Two Magnolias in the heart of downtown Beaumont gives you a taste of flavorful food and regional culture. Try them Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. or have them cater your next event by calling (409) 833-5913 or (409) 550-3478.

SAN BERNARDINO — Sheriff's deputies arrested a woman and her boyfriend Wednesday after the woman's 3-year-old daughter ingested methamphetamine.
Alexis Parker, 27, and Tony Medrano, 43, both of San Bernardino were arrested on suspicion of child endangerment, sales of methamphetamine and possession of dangerous weapons. Medrano, a convicted sex offender, was also suspected of being a felon in possession of ammunition. They were booked into Central Detention Center in San Bernardino.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies came to the 26000 block of East Miranda Court after the 3-year-old girl was brought to Community Hospital of San Bernardino with a fever and tested positive for methamphetamine.
Deputies searched the couple's home, finding evidence that the child had access to several types of drugs and weapons, sheriff's officials said.
Deputies also found drugs under the child's seat in the couple's vehicle that was parked at the hospital.
The child and her twin sister were taken into protective custody by the San Bernardino County Department of Children and Family Services.

Ocean Day Hawaiʻi is April 25!
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Monday, April 6, 2009
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
Have you ever wondered who to call when you see an injured turtle on the beach? Or how to culture a black pearl? How small is a fish that is too small to keep?
Find out the answer to these and other fascinating questions concerning the ocean surrounding us at the 3rd annual Ocean Day Hawai'i, hosted by the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Pacific Aquaculture and Coastal Resources Center (PACRC) and Marine Science Department, in partnership with the University of Hawai'i Sea Grant and Hilo Jaycees. Admission is free for this family-friendly event on Saturday, April 25, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at PACRC on Kalaniana'ole Avenue in Keaukaha.
Ocean Day Hawai'i is a community outreach event designed to increase public awareness of ocean issues such as conservation, ocean resources and ocean safety through fun, interactive displays, activities and booths. Over 1,000 people attended last year's event. This year's Ocean Day promises to be bigger and better, with additional and more diverse displays.
All ages will enjoy the hands-on activities prepared by UH Hilo Marine Science researchers and partners, including the Hawaiʻi Division of Aquatic Resources, Marine Mammal Response Network, Hawaiʻi Wildlife Society and Mokupapapa. For the keiki, there are fishing games, touch-tank exploration and face painting plus crafts and activities, including a poi pounding workshop. Artwork of our coastal Hawai'i nei by Keaukaha keiki will be displayed as well as underwater remote operated vehicles (ROVs) courtesy of local robotics groups. Site tours will also be given.
In addition to providing information on current topics such as why plastic is harmful to marine life and what we can do to help identify and control aquatic invasive species, other booths will focus on our coastal heritage here in Hawai'i. Information will be available on how to get involved with beach clean-ups, what you can do to help preserve and protect our ocean resources, and how to gain a career in the ocean sciences.
There will be a welcome by Patrick Kahawaiola'a of the Keaukaha Community Association and UH Hilo Chancellor Rose Tseng. For more information, e-mail Sharon Ziegler-Chong at email@example.com or Michele Kubojiri at email@example.com or call 933-3289.

I wonder if men like Jackson Katz and Jonah Mix and Chris Hedges (mentioned in this piece by Meghan Murphy and by me in this post on ABC Lateline and 'sex work' know what it means to women to have them speak so strongly and unequivocally – and often condemned for doing so- on issues such as sexual violence, equality and the human rights of women? My colleagues and I share articles by these men and others with much enthusiasm. Perhaps it makes us feel a little less lonely? Men like this refuse to stand by and watch as women are trashed physically and emotionally around the world. (They also happen to write really well – of course not as vital a point to make, but it does have special appeal to those of us who live by putting words together). Today I'm reprinting Jackson Katz in a Huffington Post piece on 50 Shades of Grey and how it sets back relationships education with boys, and Jonah Mix twice because he's so good, once wasn't enough.
Fifty Shades of Grey and the Miseducation of Boys
Much of the commentary about the film's release has focused on women's reactions to it, including the message that its mainstream acceptance sends to girls about their sexuality and the lengths of degradation and self-negation that women are sometimes pressured to endure in relations with men to achieve intimacy or great sex.
But my primary concern for now has to do not with girls, but with boys like my son and other young men, who are trying to navigate the rocky shores of heterosexual desire themselves, in a culture that routinely offers them up sexually subordinate, compliant and sometimes self-loathing women at the click of a mouse or the price of a movie ticket.
What do parents of sons say to them about the draw this story has for women? How can we help them make sense of the mixed messages our society sends to them about what women want? That women want men to treat them as equals, even as millions embrace a story that countless battered women's advocates say more closely resembles an abusive relationship than it does some sort of kinky sex fantasy?…
One of the most important goals of gender violence prevention work is to teach boys and young men that violence is not manly, and abuse is not sexy. To the extent that this movie complicates our efforts, it harms not just women. It also does damage to young heterosexual men, who in the wake of Fifty Shades of Grey's commercial triumph are left scratching their heads and trying to figure out responsible and healthy ways to relate sexually to women, and themselves.
Not rape just rough sex: consent and victim blaming
Jonah Mix
Rapists hiding behind the smokescreen of "rough sex" is nothing new. Jian Ghomeshi tried the same approach last year when his pattern of sexual brutality was revealed. It's not hard to see why so many abusers utilize this defense; a simple mention of the word "consent" and the question shifts from exactly why a man enjoys punching a woman in the face to whether or not the women enjoyed being punched in the face. It's a classic abuser tactic in which the spotlight of inquiry is shifted onto the victim so the perpetrator can remain unexamined in the dark.
Once you adopt the consent-as-sole-moral-consideration ideology, a man like Dominique Strauss-Kahn restraining a woman, choking her, and then violently penetrating her becomes immoral simply because she didn't find it sexy – not because fucking someone with your hands closed tight around their neck just might, you know, not be a good way to relate to another human being. When you say that a man punching, slapping, choking, and bruising a woman is wrong only because she doesn't "consent," you're saying that the only thing wrong with men's violence is that women haven't learned to enjoy it yet.
There was a time where rapists insisting their victims "wanted it" was considered the lowest insult one could possibly aim at a victim of sexual violence – thanks to BDSM ideologues, it's become a meaningful defense.
To those who have publicly attested to their enjoyment of [violent pornography], I ask them to consider the lives of those who have endured the same treatment but without the magic word of consent. Are those women expected to watch and understand as their torture is reenacted as a legitimized means of entertainment? What the popularization of violent pornography is telling these women is that they could and maybe should have enjoyed their rapes. After all, if some women have, why don't they all?
And I wonder: If male sexual violence becomes immoral only when it fails to arouse a woman, why should we attempt to stop predatory men from cultivating the woman-hating sadism that leads to rape when we could just teach women to find it sexy? Why are our anti-rape campaigns aimed at stopping men from violating women when we could just try encouraging women to develop submissive sexual desires? I can imagine the slogan of an anti-rape organization run by male kinksters: Stop rape – turn it into sex! Read full article
When Paternalism is worse than commercial rape: state of extraction and the new manarchist
Jonah Mix
Accusations of "moralizing" are by definition vacuous. Considering that morality refers simply to a set of standards we have for what ought and ought not be done, literally any political position is in some way moralistic unless it makes absolutely no demands on behavior. Opposition to police brutality or pipeline construction, for instance, are all acts of moralizing, in that they all make universalized prescriptions – that cops ought not enact violence on citizens, that indigenous land rights ought to be protected, et cetera. Chris Hedges' condemnation of prostitution as abusive, depraved, and unjust is no more tethered to a moralistic outlook than the anarchist dude who rambles on about the evil of cops and CEOs. Both have beliefs about what behavior is permissible and both hold the belief that certain actions are justified to correct impermissible behavior.
The only reason that condemnations of sexual abuse and exploitation are stuck with the condescending label of "moralizing" while other political stances are not is, of course, because the concerns of women are systematically barred from consideration as political concerns. While the oppression of men is seen as an issue befitting the high ideals of politics and justice, the oppression of women is relegated to "morality" – a category most leftists, stuck as they are in the navel-gazing solipsism of post-modernism, see as contemptibly passé.
But accusations of "moralizing" are but one half of the Inane Leftist Dude Objection Power Duo, joined quickly by even more inscrutable accusations of "paternalism" – which, in this case, means the terrible sin of saying that we should have laws that protect women.

It wasn't my intention to pick yet another 'home cooking' book, it just happened that way! I decided to pick Nigella's most recent cookbook as I received a copy of Kitchen: Recipes from the Heart of the Home from Mum and Dad for Christmas and Mum was coming out to stay so it seemed appropriate (and I thought it would be fun for us to cook from it together!). On top of that I did already have a copy of this book but due to the size and weight of it, it has had to stay in Scotland, however that just makes things even better as it means Mum can use it when she goes home and I have a copy for when I'm back home! Nothing like having 2 cookbook libraries!
I think pretty much everyone is familiar with who Nigella Lawson (aka 'The Domestic Goddess') is so I don't think there is any need to introduce her or her culinary background, however what you might not know is that this is her 8th book and just like the majority of them this is a huge book packed with almost 200 recipes (although it seemed like there were many more, but I wasn't about to start counting!). Being such a big book it didn't take me long to have bookmarked way more recipes than I could possibly try in a month but there are just so many recipes that I want to try which is always a good start to reviewing a book.
True to her usual style this book is full of recipes that are fuss-free, with zero stress but still delicious to eat. There are 2 sections to the book – Kitchen Quandaries (which is packed with recipes ideal for the reality of everyday home cooking) and Kitchen Comforts (full of more leisurely, relaxed recipes when you have more time to spend in the kitchen). One of the best parts of the book (in my opinion) however, is that with a lot of the recipes there are additional recipes and tips for using up any leftovers. To me that is fantastic idea as I know that is a common complaint for a lot of people. Finally, just when you thought you couldn't get any more out of this book, to make it even more user friendly for the every day cook, as well as the normal index, there is also a second index at the back of the book listing all of the recipes within the book that are 'express' recipes, in other words recipes that take 30 minutes or less to make and serve. So the practicalities of the book are great, the lay out is great, but what about the recipes?

Unit 9: The Energy in Chemical Reactions—Thermodynamics and Enthalpy
Hosted by Wilton L. Virgo
Light a match and chemical change happens in a one-way process: Reactants are transformed into products. But there are many chemical reactions called "equilibrium reactions" that operate in both directions: with reactants and products always present. The Unit 9 video will show how chemical equilibrium works, the essential role it plays in the function of the human body, and how it is exploited in chemical processes such as ammonia synthesis, a process that provides food for up to half the world's population.

A Conspiracy Theory: Secret Ad Serving Networks
Is There a Secret Society of Corporations Serving Us Ads Unknowingly?
Normally, I don't do this. Normally, I keep all my zany theories of government, the NWO (New World Order), Roswell, and Kennedy to myself. That is, of course, unless you ask me about them. Then, you deserve what you get.
Last night, while at the Brewers game, a very trusted source (who will go unnamed to protect their identity) happened to mention to me that during a client meeting, his client mentioned this "secret society" that only the largest corporations are invited. And, that's how you get in, through private invite only: it's kind of like Fight Club:
The first rule of Fight Club is you DO NOT TALK about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is you DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!
At this point, I take a deep breath before continuing because the next few paragraphs of information are likely to (enter eerie music) … ruin lives, including my own.
Here's what I know about this society (from my trusted source):
As I mentioned before, companies can only get in through private invite only. Once a company is "in", they are then connected to a network of cloaked servers (somehow) that run parallel to the company's servers. As most folks have their cookies set to 'wide open', so that we can partake in the magic of social networking and save our login information to our favorite sites, your box will accept the cookie that the company places.
Now the fun part: once the cookie is placed, it contains code to alert the secret servers. These servers then extract all the users' cookies and analyze all the websites the user has been to previously. The servers then insert a new cookie with information about websites visited back on the user's computer.
Once the leaves the site, the cookie stays, and if the user travels to a another site (that also has bought in to the secret society) it shows the user ads from one of the sites the user has previously been to usurping banners ads that would normally show.
Is this for real?
The best part about a conspiracy theory is that there's enough truth for it to be plausible, but not necessarily proven. My gut instinct tells it out there and happening. However, after conducting exhaustive searches on this topic, I couldn't really find anything except this.
The fact that cable companies are hijacking the DNS of users only further asserts that this could be, and likely is happening. If anyone else has heard on anything on this, or knows about it, feel free to drop me a line or share some insight on this "secret society".

Eight members of the Brandeis track & field teams competed at two different meets this weekend, as the Judges continue to wind down their season and push towards the NCAA Championships.
Junior Mohamed Sidique (Harlem, N.Y./St. Raymond H.S. for Boys) is tied for ninth in the country in the triple jump, and is almost certainly heading to NCAAs. Senior Amelia Lundkvist (So. Portland, Maine/Cheverus) and sophomore Kelsey Whitaker (Kingston, Mass./Notre Dame Acad.) both improved their chances, setting new PRs in the 1500.
Six Brandeis runners competed at the New Balance Twilight meet, which was held at Bentley University featured a variety of unattached and professional runners. Five Judges competed in the 1500, and all five set new personal records.
Brandeis had three of the top 10 runners on the women's side. Lundkvist placed third, finishing in 4:34.07. She knocked more than one second off of her previous best, and is currently ranked 17th in Division III.
Whitaker took fifth with a time of 4:36.57. That is good for 33rd in the country, leaving her squarely on the bubble for qualifying.
Senior Victoria Sanford (LaGrangeville, N.Y./Andover) finished ninth in the 1500, timing in at 4:40.07. It was more than two seconds better than her previous personal best.
Junior Kristi Pisarik (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford) finished in 4:48.60, good for 14th. It was only the third time she has ran the event at Brandeis, and bettered her previous time by more than six seconds.
On the men's side, sophomore Grady Ward (Essex Junction, Vt./Essex) finished in 4:02.70, good for 13th. Rookie Quinton Hoey (Watertown, Conn./Watertown) ran a 4:05.36 to finish in 17th. Both cut several seconds off of their PRs.
Junior Jarret Harrigan (Ipswich, Mass./St. Johns Prep) ran the 3K at the New Balance Meet. He finished in 9:07.64, good for eighth place.
Two Judges competed at the New England Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association (NEICAAA) Outdoor Championship at Westfield State University. The meet featured many of the best Division I, II and III athletes in the region.
Sidique earned All-New England honors, taking fifth in the triple jump with a distance of 47 feet, 4.25 inches. It was the third week in a row that he'd broken 43 feet, and his length of 47' 9.75" from last week has him poised to reach nationals.
Rookie Maddie Dollins (Highland Park, Ill./Highland Park) wrapped up her rookie season, running the 5K at the meet on Friday. She finished in 17:53.18, nearly nine seconds better than her previous PR.
The next meet on the Brandeis schedule is the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championships on Thursday and Friday at RPI. Lundkvist, Whitaker and Sanford will compete, and may be joined by one or two other runners.
The NCAA Championships are May 22-24 at Ohio Wesleyan.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Boy Scouts of America will celebrate 100 years of partnership with an event Tuesday night at the LDS conference center in Salt Lake City
The presentation, called "A Century of Honor," will feature songs from a Boy Scouts choir, historical reenactments and videos showing important historical events. It will be broadcast live around the country in English and Spanish.
Mormon church leaders and national Boy Scouts leaders are expected to attend.
The bond between the two organizations was born in the early 1900s from mutual values and principles.
In May, the church threw its support behind the Boy Scouts' new policy that allows gay youth to join the ranks, while continuing to ban gay adult Scout leaders.

Tasmanian bushfire beaten back as no deaths recorded
A bushfire ravaging south-eastern Tasmania has been beaten back from the holiday town of Taranna, but still burned along much of its Tasman Peninsula front.
Water-bombing helicopters and bulldozers kept the fire away from the waterside community of about 100 after the fire jumped over a bay and took hold in thick bush on Sunday night, Taranna resident Peter Wilson said
"The breeze dropped, and we haven't lost any houses," Mr Wilson said.
The Tasmanian Fire Service said the fire remained out of control, but its progress had slowed considerably in the calmer weather and they expected to work on control lines today.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is expected to visit the scene of the fire, which tore through the town of Dunalley, and nearby hamlets in catastrophic conditions on Friday, burning on to affect a total 13 communities.
Police held grave fears for a handful of people unaccounted for on Sunday, and emergency services teams are continuing their search of burnt out buildings for people lost.
Inspector John Arnold said on Monday that to date, no fatality had been recorded. "We certainly think it may be a possibility down the track," he told local ABC radio.
Inspector Arnold said a total of 100 names on missing persons registries was likely to include a lot of duplication on different lists.
More than 100 properties have been destroyed, but the Insurance Council of Australia is yet to estimate the total cost of the fires, which also burned properties near Bicheno on the state's east coast.
Hobart was blanketed in bushfire smoke, much of it from a 60,000 ha. fire that was burning through Tasmania's south-west wilderness.

2 pols say they'll be armed back home
Several lawmakers are already changing their security arrangements in wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), and at least two lawmakers say they'll now be packing firearms in public when they're in their home districts.
Both Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) told POLITICO they will be carrying their guns in their home districts for protection. Both lawmakers hold a conceal and carry permit, but will not carry their weapons in the District of Columbia.
Story Continued Below
Shuler, who received a serious death threat in 2009, says he is planning to carry his weapon more often and boost security at his district events. He's even encouraging his staffers to get their own conceal to carry permits.
"You never think something like this will happen, but then it does," Shuler said "After the elections, I let my guard down. Now I know I need to have [my gun] on me. We're going to need to do a much better job of with security at these events."
The Capitol Police are also reassessing lawmaker security both in Washington and around the country.
Chaffetz said he's also going to pursue whether U.S. Marshalls – who usually guard federal judges – could be expanded to guard members of Congress as well during district events.
"Perhaps they could better assess threats in the home district," said Chaffetz, who praised the work of U.S. Capitol Police. "It certainly ought to be on the table."
Chaffetz says he may ask local police officers to drop in on his town hall meetings more frequently.
Chaffetz recently contacted Capitol Police to investigate a man who was canvassing his Utah neighborhood, asking questions. Since yesterday, he's also received several threatening messages on his Twitter account, which he's asked the police to look into.
"It's unfortunate that these things happen, but if you've been in Congress any amount of time, you know we often get various threats," he said.
Rep. Darrell Issa's (R-Calif.) district office is busy installing a touchable keypad in order to protect its district workers from unannounced visitors. Issa's office was the target of a bomb plot back in 2001. Issa, a California Republican, has since had a threat assessment conducted on his offices, according to his spokesman Kurt Bardella.
"I think what you're going to see is a combination of the Sergeant at Arms and Capitol Police work with congressional leadership to do more threat assessments for district offices," Bardella said.

Fire Accreditation
The Union Township Fire Department was awarded its first Accredited Agency Status by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International at their annual meeting in August 2004. Since the initial Accreditation the department has continued to meet the goals of the commission and strive for excellence through continual quality improvement.
The process of complying with hundreds of strict and comprehensive standards is an evolving and ongoing process throughout the five year accreditation cycle. The Accreditation Manager must compile Annual Compliance Reports that address the progress the department is making toward meeting the recommendations the Site Visit Team recommended during the site visit. At the completion of the five year accreditation cycle a new set of documents are prepared and then reviewed by a new site visit team during a three day comprehensive on site review. Once the site visit team has completed their review and the documents have been forwarded to the Commission the department must testify before the Board of Directors to obtain final approval as an Accredited Agency.
Union Township is proud to be one of one hundred eighty-seven Accredited Agencies worldwide. The model of continual quality improvement that the accreditation process is based upon works hand in hand with Union Township's mission to "Exceed Expectations". While Union Township is honored to be a part of this elite group of fire agencies; the major benefit of being an Accredited Agency is the commitment by the department to provide continual quality service to the community.

Michigan on-the-job deaths decline in 2012
The number of workplace deaths in Michigan declined in 2012, as an estimated 127 workers died on the job compared to 141 in 2011, according to preliminary figures from an annual report compiled by Michigan State University.
Agriculture saw the largest number of deaths at 17, while the construction industry had the second most at 15, followed by transportation and warehousing with 13, according to the Michigan Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation program, or MIFACE.
The program – administered by MSU's Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, part of the College of Human Medicine – investigates work-related deaths and seeks to identify ways to prevent them.
"This reduction in fatality rates is encouraging, but worker deaths are almost always preventable and even one is too many," said Kenneth Rosenman, director of the Division of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
The report shows that motor vehicles caused the most deaths with 32, followed by 28 homicides, 12 machine-related deaths and 11 falls. Guns were involved in 71 percent of all workplace homicides.
"We monitor these figures for the same reasons we track any other public health problem," Rosenman said. "It's important to know the scope of the problem so we can plan interventions to solve it. And these numbers make it clear that Michigan has a way to go in terms of getting all companies to create a culture of safety on the job."
The MIFACE data are being released in preparation for Workers Memorial Day on April 29. Workers and public health professionals across the country pay tribute to the about 5,000 Americans killed each year by work-related trauma. Another 60,000 U.S. workers are estimated to die each year from cancer, lung disease and other illnesses from work-related exposures.
A Workers Memorial Day remembrance will be held at noon April 29 at Wentworth Park in Lansing. Rosenman will speak at the event, along with Norwood Jewell, director of the UAW Region 1C; and Glen Freeman, President of the Greater Lansing Safety Council.
MIFACE is a research project of MSU funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. MSU works closely with the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration on the project.

Giants can't overcome Vogelsong's shaky start
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants should have known this game would be different in the first inning.
That's when the St. Louis Cardinals' Carlos Beltran hit an RBI single off Ryan Vogelsong, representing the first time a Giants starting pitcher allowed an earned run this young season.
The rest of the Giants couldn't bail out Vogelsong on Saturday, as the Cardinals went ahead with a three-run fifth to help hand San Francisco its first loss at AT&T Park this season, 6-3. It's now tied one game apiece in this three-game, home-opening series.
Even with Tim Lincecum's uneven start in Wednesday's 5-3 win, the Giants were appreciative of quality starting pitching through their first four games, which included two shutouts.
Vogelsong struggled in completing the first rotation turn this season, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing five runs, nine hits and two walks while striking out six. Meanwhile, St. Louis starter Shelby Miller succeeded in just his second career start, taming the Giants bats by allowing two runs, four hits and four walks while striking out four in his 5 1/3 innings.
After the loss, the Giants felt Vogelsong pitched well enough to win, and the hops didn't quite go their way against the Cardinals.
They have a valid point if looking at the fifth inning, which the Giants began ahead, 2-1. With two outs and runners on first and third, Matt Holliday tied it with an RBI single to left that plated Pete Kozma, who led off the frame with a single. After Holliday, Allen Craig grounded a single when third baseman Pablo Sandoval dove left and was unable to handle the ball, which would have been a tough play to throw the runner out at first. The next batter, Beltran, singled to right and brought in two more, making it 4-2.
The Giants could not come back, and Sandoval was in the middle of a difficult play.
"It's a tough read for the infielders," manager Bruce Bochy said. "[Shortstop Brandon] Crawford was there [behind Sandoval], but I don't know if Pablo realized it. He was trying.
"It's a fine line in this game."
Vogelsong said he was trying a little too hard in the first inning, going for too much break on his breaking pitches, but he settled down.
"I just didn't make enough pitches," Vogelsong said. "It's what it comes down to. I didn't feel like I pitched terrible. It was just one of those days."
Still, San Francisco couldn't keep up against Miller, even with solo home runs by Hunter Pence in the second inning and Sandoval in the eighth. Although Sandoval was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and he and Pence knocked their second homers of the season, Giants hitters went 7-for-33 at the plate and 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position.
Miller's "got good stuff," said Buster Posey, who was 1-for-4 with a double and one strikeout. "He stayed out of the middle of the plate."
The Giants had four hits through the first seven innings and threatened in the eighth off reliever Edward Mujica. Sandoval led off by jacking a home run to make it 5-3, and Posey followed with his double. But Pence struck out, and Brandon Belt and pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez flied out.
The Cardinals got to Vogelsong in the first inning. Matt Carpenter singled, and Vogelsong struck out the next batter, but Carpenter advanced to second on a passed ball. Carpenter reached third on a wild pitch, and Vogelsong walked the next batter, Craig. Beltran followed by lofting a 3-2 offering over second baseman Marco Scutaro, scoring Carpenter for the 1-0 lead.
Pence led off the second with his homer to right-center, tying the game.
In the third, Sandoval singled on a 2-2 curveball to score Angel Pagan from second and give the Giants the lead, 2-1.
With a 4-2 lead after the fifth, St. Louis added another run in the sixth. Daniel Descalso singled to lead off and stole second base, then Kozma brought him in with a clean single to left, extending the lead to 5-2. After getting Miller to strike out on a bunt attempt, Volgesong was pulled in favor of reliever Jose Mijares, who elicited two flyouts to end the inning.
The Giants had something going in the sixth when Pence walked with one out and stole second, and Belt walked to end Miller's outing. Left-hander Randy Choate relieved Miller and faced right-handed pinch-hitter Joaquin Arias, who on the first pitch lined one into the diving Craig's glove as Belt was doubled off to end the threat.
Cardinals reliever Mitchell Boggs pitched the ninth, allowing one hit and striking out one to notch his first save of the season.
"You had Vogelsong going who has pitched a lot of big games against us, [so] to come away with a win today is huge and gives us a chance to win the series tomorrow," Boggs said. "For me personally, it was good to go out there and have a good inning."
Now the Giants have a chance to win the series in Sunday's rubber game. Bochy, who saw players put a good bat on the ball -- Belt was 0-for-3 yet hit the ball hard -- feels like the Giants will get it turned around offensively.
"It's just getting into the rhythm," Bochy said. "We'll get it going."

WILLIMANTIC, Conn. – Led by Chris Robitaille's double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds, the host Warriors of Eastern Connecticut State University defeated men's basketball by the final of 74-44 Saturday afternoon at the Francis E. Geissler Gymnasium in the Little East Conference regular season finale for both teams.
Eastern (18-7, 12-2 Little East) concludes the regular season on a five-game winning streak and with victories in 11 of its last 13 and with a program record for regular-season conference wins and will be the number two seed in next week's Little East Conference tournament.
For the Beacons (12-12, 6-8 Little East) they ended the regular season as the fifth seed and will visit the fourth-seeded Huskies of the University of Southern Maine on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the first round contest. The Warriors will host either Plymouth State University of Western Connecticut State next Tuesday at 7:30, as they look to repeat as conference tournament champions from a year ago.
UMass, who shot 35.8% on the afternoon, only turned the ball over a combined 10 times, but the Warriors used each one of the turnovers against the Beacons on the scoreboard as they dropped in 19 points off of the miscues. The Beacons totaled only eight points off the hosts' 11 turnovers.
Leading by 13 at halftime, Eastern secured its eighth straight win over UMass Boston when Trachone Preston and Brian Salzillo connected on three-pointers in the first two minutes of the second half as the Warriors quickly built a 17-point lead. UMass never got closer than 15 the rest of the way.
Vinny DeLucia (Miami, Fla.) was the only double-figure scorer for UMB, with 14 points. DeLucia had led the Beacons to a near-upset of Eastern on Jan. 12 when he shared game-high scoring honors with 23 points in his team's three-point loss. Brian Clarke (Miramar, Fla.) contributed seven points and seven rebounds for the Beacons.
Salzillo, Robitaille and Preston combined for 45 of Eastern's points (18-for-35 field goal shooting). Salzillo led all players with 16 – extending his three-point streak to 30 games with his first of four from long range with 8:32 left in the first half. He also finished with a career-best seven assists and had six rebounds. Preston finished with 14 points.
Men's Basketball returns to action on Tuesday when they travel to the University of Southern Maine for a 7:30 first round game of the 2013 Little East Conference tournament. The Beacons will be making their first postseason appearance since 2010.
Information for this release was provided by the Eastern Connecticut State University Sports Information Department.

The great 19th-century satirist Ambrose Bierce defined a revolution as "an abrupt change in the form of misgovernment." He would understand events in Egypt very well.
In the signature revolution of the Arab Spring, the country turned its back on a secular dictatorship only to fall into the arms of what looks like a budding Muslim Brotherhood dictatorship. Meet the new pharaoh, same as the old pharaoh. Except Egypt's old form of misgovernment may soon look progressive by comparison.
Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi's decree neutering the judiciary is the latest act in his steady consolidation of power. While he assiduously builds a dictatorship, the Obama administration just as assiduously tells itself bedtime stories. It's a perfect division of labor — he goes about his empire-building with a clear-eyed realism; we consider it through a gauzy lens of delusion.
Since the end of Hosni Mubarak, the air has been thick with descriptions of the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi as moderates. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper called the Muslim Brotherhood "largely secular." If he had been speaking of the Church of England, he might have had a point.
#ad#Unfortunately, the Brotherhood's credo is: "Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law; the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way." Morsi summarized his program during the campaign as "the sharia, then the sharia, and finally the sharia." (Unlike President Barack Obama, at least he had an agenda.)
After Mubarak's fall, we fooled ourselves about the level of support for the Brotherhood. We fooled ourselves about the Brotherhood abiding by its promise not to run for the presidency. We fooled ourselves about what a Morsi victory would mean for democracy. Why stop fooling ourselves now?
Morsi staged his latest power grab on Thanksgiving Day in the immediate aftermath of working with Obama to get a cease-fire in hostilities between Hamas (a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot) and Israel. A New York Times piece reported that in his talks with Morsi, "Mr. Obama felt they were making a connection." How sweet.
"He was impressed with the Egyptian leader's pragmatic confidence." And who can resist the lure of pragmatic confidence?
"He sensed," the paper continued, in a gushing tone, "an engineer's precision with surprisingly little ideology."
This is the most embarrassing man-crush misjudgment of a noxious foreign leader since George W. Bush claimed to have peered into Vladimir Putin's soul.
Obama famously disdained Mitt Romney. But the devotee of an Islamist organization about to stage a self-coup? Now, that's a man he can work with.
The business about an engineer's precision is priceless. What did the president expect? Morsi to try to convert him to Islam and harangue him about Malia and Sasha not wearing head scarves?
Morsi didn't get where he is today without rationally calculating his interests. He probably has many crisply precise conversations every day; that doesn't make his ultimate goal any less unreasonable.
The administration's reaction to Morsi's decree has been, "Well, golly, we hope everyone can talk things through." In its mealy-mouthed noncondemnations, the Obama administration does no favors to the real moderates in the streets of Egypt pushing to get Morsi to back down.
But delusion is hard to give up. We always want to believe that other people are just like us and have, at bottom, the same practical concerns. It's simply not true of fanatics. "This revolution was not about the price of watermelons," Ayatollah Khomeini once told an aide worried about inflation.
Obama is subject to a more personal fantasy, which is the belief that he is uniquely suited to convince people hostile to us that we want to be their friends. This might make for nice phone calls, but it won't change the convictions of a Mohamed Morsi.
If our leverage in Egypt is limited, we should still be using every bit of it to resist Morsi's power grab. The first step is to let go of delusions — and perhaps read more Ambrose Bierce.
