Officials from the Big 12 and the Cowboys expect a record crowd of more than 80,000 people will attend the Final Four when it's played at AT&T Stadium.
Commissioner Bob Bowlsby and Cowboys vice president Charlotte Anderson said at the Big 12's annual media day Tuesday that they anticipate breaking the mark for a national semifinal of 75,421 set during the 2011 Final Four in Houston.
"We have the capacity to host over 80,000, and that's been distributed through the NCAA channels," Anderson said. "We hope that we can open that capacity beyond that for standing room. That is being under consideration by the NCAA at this point.
"We know that we'll have a pretty packed venue," Anderson said, "and we hope that we can get as many people that want to come in the venue itself."
The record for a championship game is 74,326, set during Louisville's 82-76 victory over Michigan on April 8 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. The previous record was 72,922, which was set when North Carolina played Michigan State on April 6, 2009 at Ford Field in Detroit.
This season's title game is scheduled for April 7, 2014.
"We're going to have events all over the Metroplex," said Bowlsby, whose conference will be serving as the Final Four host. "There are a lot of fun things that are going to go on during the course of the weekend, and obviously as the commissioner of the Big 12, I believe we have some teams with the capability to be playing when the Final Four commences in Dallas."
Dallas hasn't hosted a Final Four since 1986, when league member Kansas lost in the national semifinals at Reunion Arena. Louisville beat Duke for the national championship.
That game wasn't hosted by the Big 12 -- or back then, the Big Eight. But the last time the conference was the host of a Final Four was in 1988, when the Jayhawks met Oklahoma in an all-Big Eight title game in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas won that game, 83-79.
"Well, it's certainly a high standard to live up to," Bowlsby said. "I would not be at all surprised if we had somebody playing in that final two or in the Final Four. It may be a little much to ask to have two of our teams playing in the championship game."
The $1.3 billion showplace of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has played host to several basketball games since it opened in 2009 as Cowboys Stadium.
An announced crowd of more than 108,000 fans showed up for the 2010 NBA All-Star game, the most highly-attended basketball game in history. More than 38,000 turned out to see Texas play North Carolina in the building's first college hoops game on Dec. 19, 2009.
But the facility didn't get a dry run at hosting the Final Four until this past season, when it was the site of an NCAA tournament regional. The event allowed Big 12 and facility officials to see how the court, bleachers and other amenities would be set up for the game.
"It just kind of slams you in the face when you wake up and go, `Oh, we're five months away from really playing basketball," Anderson said. "It's been since 1986 when we held our first and last Final Four in Dallas, and we hope to set us on the road to host many more in the future."

AIKEN, S.C. – Monday evening's matchup against the # 11 Lady Pacers of USC Aiken was the second time the Georgia Southwestern Lady Hurricanes faced a ranked opponent this season. The Blue & Gold previously gave defending national champions Clayton State everything they could handle in a 66-62 defeat in December. USC Aiken (15-2, 8-1 PBC) would put the clamps on the GSW offense and the game en route to their 65-42 victory of the Lady 'Canes.
Poor shooting did in the Lady Hurricanes as Coach Britsky and company shot an abysmal 21.0% from the field for the game. The 13-62 shooting was the worst performance from the field of the season for Georgia Southwestern. The Lady 'Canes were also out-rebounded 47-42, and they also conceded a 21-7 assist to turnover performance by the Lady Pacers.
Jessica Bivins would be the only GSW player to score in double figures. The senior tallied eleven points to go with her three rebounds and two assists. It was a busy night for forward Adrian Randall on the glass. The Bronx native finished the game with eight points, twelve rebounds and two blocks.
USC Aiken was led by a balance scoring attack. The home team was led by Hannah DeGraffinreed (14 points), Mia Antoine (13 points) and Kayla Harris (eleven points). The trio had eight of USCA's 21 assists, which helped the team finish the evening with a three-to-one assist-to-turnover ratio.
It was a nerve-racking initial few minutes for the Lady Hurricanes as they conceded early fast break points and a pair of three-pointers. GSW was able to keep in contact with the Lady Pacers with an early rebounding advantage, which led to eight of their first 17 points coming via the second chance variety. Adrian Randall played strong out of the gates recording four points, six rebounds and a block in nine early minutes of play.
The two-point Lady Pacer advantage would grow to as many as twelve points, which was the halftime lead for USC Aiken at 36-24. Georgia Southwestern struggled offensively shooting 25% (7-28) from the field, which included 2-7 (28.6%) from beyond the arc. On the flip side, USC Aiken shot 44.4% from the field and recorded an impressive twelve assists to five turnover performance in the game's first twenty minutes.
Jessica Bivins led GSW in scoring in the first half with eight points. The senior guard was supported by Adrian Randall's six points, six rebounds and two blocks in the first half. Aiken was led by a pair of Lady Pacers with eleven points in the first half. Kayla Harris registered eleven points, four rebounds and four assists, and her teammate Hannah DeGraffinreed scored eleven points, grabbed three rebounds and blocked three shots.
GSW would go 3:20 into the second half before getting their second field goal of the half. The pair of Jessica Jones baskets would be GSW's only made field goals over a twelve minute period of time. By the time the Lady Hurricanes scored their third field goal of the game, USC Aiken had outscored GSW 14-8 in the second half.
That run would put the game out of reach for the Lady 'Canes whose poor first-half shooting extended into the second half as well as the foul line. Coach Britsky and crew would shoot 17.6% from the field in the second half, and they would miss over half of their nine foul shots in the final half of play.
The loss puts the Georgia Southwestern record to 11-4 (3-4 PBC). The Lady Hurricanes will look to get to even their PBC record as they will host the Lady Patriots of Francis Marion on Saturday, January 28 at 1:30 p.m. in the Storm Dome.

Threadless and Griffin have just released 4 new iPod Touch Cases, featuring 4 classic Threadless designs. The Gaming Revolution by Sean Mort is one of my favorite Threadless designs – ever. Space Needs Color by Alvaro Arteaga Sabaini looks absolutely stunning as an iPhone case design. Put The Needle On The Record was never a Threadless favorite of mine (maybe because of the raised ink used on the tee), but as an iPhone Case design, it just works.
Unlike previous Threadless X Griffin cases, the new batch is made specifically for the iPod Touch. If I had to guess as to why this is case, I would say that it has something to do with the rumors of a new iPhone being released sometime in early June.
The cases are available now from Griffin Technology for $34.99 a piece. Each of the T-Shirts are also available from Threadless for $18 (Space Needle is priced at $20).

Al right, so im kind of scared of you XBMC.org guys... The Vision1 thread did horrible here, there are sexy skins like Aeon, Fusion, and Fluid. My guess is this skin will pretty much get ignored with some nice people stopping by to give their compliments to make me feel good... But o well, here goes!
It was innevitable! I had to do a Vision2! So Microsoft inspired Vision1, This time around Sony inspired Vision2. I'm a big fag of Sony products. They are all black, sleek, shiny, simple and all around sexy. So I kept that in mind the whole time while coming up with ideas for Vision2.
720p HD This skin was made for 720p from scratch. 4:3 will not be focused on. Simply because Jezz_X and I dont feel the need to focus on 4:3 since HDTV's are so common now (Both Jezz_X and I have one)
Navigation The one thing I concentrated on most was navigation & layout... You will notice this anywhere from Home, to Views, and all the way to the Keyboard.
Library Mode Library Mode has been kept in mind while designing the skin. So the layout will take advantage of all Library Mode has to offer.
FanArt (As I like to put it: Super Duper FullHD Wide Icons!). Skin will support FanArt, and future Music FanArt (Please Agathorn!)
Note: These are Library Mode views. Offline views look more simple.
Custom Background

MythTV Not sure if it will get added (Since neither Jezz_X or I use it), but I do want to support it for those that use it!
AMT I have a basic idea of the layout, not final yet...
There won't be any phases like Vision1. There will be no 'Beta', 'Alpha', or 'Final' build of Project Vision2. All minor & major updates will be done via SVN unless Jezz_X & I die

EU declares war on Israel....
How else can you interpret what these lawyers are doing???
Human rights lawyers and pro-Palestinian activists in a number of European countries hold lists with names of Israel Defense Forces soldiers allegedly linked to war crimes committed during Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip. Existing legislation enables arrest warrants to be issued against these officers if they enter those countries.
Lawyers in Britain and other European countries have been collecting testimonies of Palestinians and other data from Gaza since January, which they maintain proves that war crimes were committed by the IDF during the offensive. The evidence is linked to IDF officers holding ranks of battalion commander and higher, who were in command during various stages of Cast Lead.
The other nations who have lawyers collecting information on the matter include the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Norway, whose laws, as well as Britain's, allow the issuance of arrest warrants against foreign citizens suspected of war crimes.
Attorney Daniel Makover from London is coordinating the efforts in Britain. One of his colleagues visited the Gaza Strip several weeks after the fighting in order to collect testimonies. Palestinians civilians also gave the legal assistant their approval, and asked that he file the suits in their name, in line with British law.

Laptop Scandal School's Own Law Firm: Aside From Those 58,000 Spy Photos, There's No Evidence Of Spying
from the we-find-ourselves-not-guilty dept
A law firm employed by the Pennsylvania school district caught using student laptop webcams to spy on students at home has released a 72-page report (pdf) on the incident after a 10-week investigation. Most of the report's findings aren't too surprising; it exonerates most higher-level school officials like any wealthy school district's in-house investigation should, concluding that there's no evidence indicating that anybody above the IT level "knew how TheftTrack worked or understood that it could collect large quantities of webcam photographs or screenshots." The report also confirms reports that the system took some 58,000 images -- a far cry from the 42 images the school originally claimed.
Aside from those 57,958 extra photos and screenshots, e-mails alleging that school administrators found the spy technology entertaining -- and the fact the system was only unearthed in the first place because a student's at-home behavior was spied on -- the study concludes that "we found no evidence that District personnel used TheftTrack to "spy" on students." Still, at least the report slams the school district for being "overzealous" in their use of the technology, and for having a complete disregard for student privacy:
"Although there is no forensic method to determine with certainty how often images stored on the LANrev server were viewed, we found no evidence that any District 3 personnel surreptitiously downloaded images from the LANrev server. Rather, the collection of images from laptops while they were in the possession of students resulted from the district's failure to implement policies, procedures and recordkeeping requirements, and the overzealous and questionable use of technology by IS personnel without any apparent regard for privacy considerations or sufficient consultation with administrators."By and large the study places the lion's share of the blame on school IT folks, most of whom were already forced to retire. It does seem rather convenient that the district was allowed to hire their own law firm to investigate (at least when lawyers weren't working with plaintiffs to allegedly help keep evidence out of the hands of federal investigators). That's of course the first thing the lawyer for the district's former IS director Virginia DiMedio complained about. While the IT folks certainly appear oblivious and culpable, there seems to be plenty of incompetence to go around. Hopefully higher level administrators aren't entirely immune to the ultimate fallout, given they failed to pay any attention to the fact their district was busily building a little Macbook surveillance state with little to no accountability.

According to Higher Topos Theory math/0608040 a topos is

Could one elaborate on that?

According to Higher Topos Theory math/0608040 a topos is
a category C which behaves like the category of sets, or (more generally) the category of sheaves of sets on a topological space.
Could one elaborate on that?
There are two concepts which both get called a topos, so it depends on who you ask. The more basic notion is that of an elementary topos, which can be characterized in several ways. The simple definition:
An elementary topos is a category C which has finite limits and power objects.
(A power object for A is an object P(A) such that morphisms B --> P(A) are in natural bijection with subobjects of A x B, so we could rephrase the condition "C has power objects" as "the functor Sub(A x -) is representable for every object A in C").
The issue with the simple definition is that it doesn't show you why these things are actually interesting. It turns out that a great deal follows from these axioms. For example, C also has finite colimits, exponential objects, has a representable limit-preserving functor P: C^op --> Doct where Doct the category of Heyting algebras such that if f: AxB --> A is the projection map for some objects A and B in C, then P(A) --> P(AxB) has both left and right adjoints considered as a morphism of Heyting algebras, etc etc. What the long-winded definition boils down to is "an elementary topos the the category of types in some world of intuitionistic logic." There's an incredible amount of material here; the best place to start is probably MacLane and Moerdijk's Sheaves in Geometry and Logic. The main reference work is Johnstone's as-yet-unfinished Sketches of an Elephant, but I certainly wouldn't start there.
The other major notion of topos is that of a Grothendieck topos, which is the category of sheaves of sets on some site (a site is a (decently nice) category with a structure called a Grothendieck topology which generalizes the notion of "open cover" in the category of open sets in a topological space). Grothendieck topoi are elementary topoi, but the converse is not true; Giraud's Theorem classifies precisely the conditions needed for an elementary topos to be a Grothendieck topos. Depending on your point of view, you might also look at Sheaves in Geometry and Logic for more info, or you might check out Grothendieck's SGA4 for the algebraic geometry take on things.
I would tend to think that in Charley's reply above the sentence
There are two concepts which both get called a topos, so it depends on who you ask.
is misleading. As Charley mentions himself afterwards, a Grothendieck topos (a category of sheaves) is a special case of the general notion of topos. It's not like there is a conflict in terms.
One may even consider further special cases that go further in the direction from general toposes to things that look more like topological spaces: the next step are the localic toposes, which are those that are categories of sheaves on categories of open subsets of a topological space.
This, in turn, is seen in higher topos theory (search the keywors on the nLab, I can't post more than one link here, unfortunately) as the beginning of an infinite hierarchy of n-localic oo-toposes: 0-localic toposes are like ordinary topoligcal while as the n in n-localic increases they become more and more objects in "derived geometry". Again, search the nLab for these keywords for more on that.
The entry nLab: topos provides some more details and in particular provides further links, also to material on higher toposes.
Urs Schreiber
Let us concentrate on Grothendieck topoi. As mentioned in earlier posts, these are those topoi which arise as the category of sheaves for a category equipped with a Grothendieck topology. These are those topoi which "behave the most like sheaves of sets on a topological space". Let me try to explain to what extent Grothendieck topoi are topological in nature.
First, given a continuous map f:X->Y, it produces a geometric morphism Sh(X)->Sh(Y). If X and Y are sober, then there is a bijection between Hom(X,Y) and Hom(Sh(X),Sh(Y)) (where the later is again geometric morphisms). This means, if we restrict to sober spaces, we get a fully faithful functor Sh:SobTop->topoi. (Recall via stone duality that the category of sober spaces is equivalent to the category of locales with enough points).
More generally, if G is a topological groupoid (a groupoid object in Top), we can construct its classifying topos. This can be defined as follows: Take the enriched nerve of G to obtain a simplicial space, applying the functor "Sh" (viewing the nerve as a diagram of space) and obtain a simplicial topos. Now take the (weak) colimit of the diagram to obtain a topos BG. This topos can be described concretely as equivariant sheaves over G_0.
Geometrically, BG is a model for the topos of "small sheaves" over the topological stack associated to G. In fact, on etale topological stacks* (this include all orbifolds), we also have an equivalence between maps of stacks and geometric morphisms between their categories of sheaves, so, there is a subcategory (sub-2-category) of Grothendieck topoi which is equivalent to etale topological stacks. These Grothendieck topoi are called topological etendue.
*(over sober spaces)
It turns out that a large class of topoi can be obtained as BG for some topological groupoid. In fact, every Grothendick topos "with enough points" is equivalent to BG for some topological groupoid. The more general statement is that EVERY Grothendieck topos is equivalent to BG for some localic groupoid (a groupoid object in locales). Since locales are a model for "pointless topology", we see in some sense, every Grothendieck topos is "topological". You can make sense of the statement that every Grothendieck topos is equivalent to the category of small sheaves on a localic stack.
As Charley mentions, topoi have many nice properties, and since a topos is something which looks like sheaves of sets on a Grothendieck site, it should be clear why a topos theory would be useful. In his book, Lurie develops, among other things, a theory of infinity-topoi, of which perhaps the main example of interest is sheaves of topological spaces on a Grothendieck site. This case is already extremely interesting.
One of the reasons why we might want to consider "sheaves of topological spaces" is because we want to obtain a construction of tmf ("topological modular forms"), which is the "universal elliptic cohomology theory". An elliptic cohomology theory is a cohomology theory (in the sense of Eilenberg-Steenrod) which is associated to an elliptic curve. By the Brown representation theorem, a cohomology theory can be identified with a spectrum (in the sense of homotopy theory), which is a sequence of topological spaces satisfying some properties. So, following this very rough reasoning, we should have a sheaf (or maybe a presheaf, but we can sheafify) of topological spaces (or rather spectra) over the moduli stack of elliptic curves. Then we would like to take global sections of this sheaf to obtain the universal elliptic cohomology theory tmf. To make all of this precise, it helps to have a good theory of sheaves of topological spaces on a Grothendieck site, and in turn a good theory of infinity-topoi. See Lurie's paper "A survey of elliptic cohomology" for some more details on this.
There is another way of seeing (Grothendieck) topos (maybe it could be helpful):
"une construction (non conventionnelle) du topos de l'espace $X$ (i.e. d'une catégorie qui est naturellement équivalente à la catégorie des faisceaux sur $X$ (qui n'utilise pas directement la notion de faisceaux). Pour cela, soit $Pr(X)$ la catégorie des préfaisceaux d'ensembles sur l'espace topologique $X$. Dans cette catégorie on considère l'ensemble W des morphismes qui induisent des isomorphismes fibre à fibre, et on forme la catégorie $W^{-1}Pr(X)$, obtenue à partir de $Pr(X)$ en inversant formellement les morphismes de $W$. On peut alors vérifier que $W^{-1}Pr(X)$ est naturellement équivalente à la catégorie des faisceaux sur X. Il faut remarquer que les objets de $W^{-1}Pr(X)$ sont les préfaisceaux sur $X$, mais ses ensembles de morphismes sont en réalité isomorphes aux ensembles de morphismes entre faisceaux associés."

Big U.S. banks in talks with state prosecutors to settle claims of improper mortgage practices have been offered a deal that is proposed to limit part of their legal liability, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
The FT said state prosecutors have proposed a deal to limit part of the banks' liability in return for a multibillion-dollar payment.
The talks aim to settle allegations that banks including Bank of America (BAC.N), JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), Wells Fargo (WFC.N), Citigroup (C.N) and Ally Financial (GKM.N). seized the homes of delinquent borrowers and broke state laws by employing so-called "robosigners", workers who signed off on foreclosure documents en masse without reviewing the paperwork.

So let's say you're a medical professional. Forget having several square inches of a fatty's thigh touch your thigh when you're on a plane — that's child's play as far as you're concerned. No, your row is harder hoeing. First of all, peering into fat people's shopping carts and judging the contents isn't just a hobby for you; it's a duty that you take on in the name of public health, on the assumption that a doctor's disdain is more potent and effective than that of a normal person. And as far as interacting with fat people, you don't get the luxury of just ignoring them or insulting them on the internet like everyone else — no, you have to get all up in their business on a regular basis. It's your job! And because you have to touch way more than just their leg in an airplane seat, your contempt has to be that much more fiery and glaring, in order to heat-sterilize you from fatty germs.
Sure, you could react to this situation by becoming one of the many perfectly lovely, compassionate, and professional doctors and nurses out there, but where's the fun in that? Being a fair and benevolent physician is HARD and there is no GRANT MONEY in it, you sucker. (Being a trenchant and high-minded researcher might come with funds but is still really taxing. No thanks.) No, much better to put your little all into building an unassailable wall of research showing that fat people are going to die of every disease but not before bringing everyone else down with them. This does the handy dual trick of giving people a whitewashed podium from which to fling their poo — it's not about bigotry, it's about health! — and firing up public opinion against fatties, who are now to blame for the world's ills. This is important, since all it takes for someone to lose weight (and thus, according to the research you're crafting, to become instantly healthy) is for them to know that some people think they're unacceptable at their current size.
But where to start? Well, some folks at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have a few suggestions for you.
1. Pick an arbitrary baseline. If you're looking at anything that's increased monotonically over time — man-made greenhouse gas production, automobile manufacturing, Abe Vigoda's age, entropy –you can start measuring at any point and still turn up an increase. The trick is to choose a baseline that is far enough away to guarantee you'll show a precipitous gain, while still being close enough to the present time that it doesn't seem irrelevant. Remember, making it seem as though you must have a plausible rationale is much, much more important than actually having one!
2. Get a computer. Any mook can stick electrodes on a rat, but computer modeling allows you to ask all kinds of asinine counterfactual questions like "what if humans evolved from cats," "what if dark matter were actually made of ladies' panties," "what if there were no fat people in the 1970s and also the 1970s was now," and so forth. This is very original and therefore very fundable research — and depending on how you set up the model, you can make it find whatever you want!
3. Choose the parameters for your model based on impact rather than fact. For instance, if 25 percent of people in Great Britain are classified as "obese," use 40 percent instead because it sounds way scarier.
4. Build your prejudices into the model in any way possible. For instance, if you assume fat people eat too much, you should make your model calculate that fat people will eat more food. If you don't do this, your conclusion might only show that increased food production leads to more greenhouse gases! This could have a negative impact on the food industry, who may I remind you is NOT going to force you to have sex with it and then take half your stuff. Why go that route, when you can instead blame your simulated fatties for increasing the simulated production of simulated food because of their simulated boundless hunger?
5. While you're at it, ignore other factors that could affect what you're studying — if you're looking at greenhouse gas emissions, for example, be sure to ignore the increasing population and cultural fascination with big honkin' cars. The point of a model is not to simulate reality; it's to present a constrained, idealized, paper-thin approximation of reality, and then assume that any discrepancies are reality's fault for being so sloppy. That's why they name them after these guys.
Voila — you're ready to publish some social-ass science! Make sure you've lined up some reporters with shaky science literacy, short attention spans, looming deadlines and/or a propensity to exaggerate the anti-fat interpretations of scientific studies (either due to personal bias or because it allows them great range for puns on words like "heavy" and "bloated"). Hopefully the well-read, careful, or less time-crunched journalists are working with aforementioned trenchant researchers anyway, and nobody's reading anything they write because they're suckers. You, however, are on your way to leaving a lasting mark on the world, in the form of a link that douchebags can copy and paste when they want to argue that fat people are a proven menace.
Or if that's too much work, you could just make some shit up.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #447
From Psalm 119
Blest are the undefiled in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean,
Who never from the law depart,
But fly from ev'ry sin.
Blest are the men who keep thy Word
And practice thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek the Lord,
And serve thee with their hands.
Great is their peace who love thy law;
How firm their souls abide!
Nor can a bold temptation draw
Their steady feet aside.
Then shall my heart have inward joy,
And keep my face from shame,
When all thy statutes I obey,
And honor all thy Name.

New coach Richmond set to rebuild Lady Railer basketball
By Justin Tierney

[November 17, 2012]
It's not just a new season for
the Lincoln Community High School girls basketball team this year,
but the dawn of a new era.
Richmond is a physical education teacher at LCHS.
Asked for the trademarks of her program, Richmond says defense
will be the Lady Railers' first priority.
"Great defense and taking care of the basketball," said Richmond.
"That's what I'm preaching to them right now. Mostly to be tough on
After some lackluster seasons for the program recently, some
might expect that Richmond's first impression of the program would
lead to low expectations.
But, Richmond says that she sees a team with great potential.
"My first impression with the girls was that there's a lot of
potential there," said Richmond. "There's a lot of potential to
build a great program. There's a lot of talent there.
"It's just a matter of doing the right things with our talents
and pushing the girls to where they need to be."
The Lady Railers' first impression of Richmond?
She is demanding and holds them to high expectations.
"I think the first impression was that she was going to be hard
on us, she knew what she was doing, and that it was going to be a
good season," said senior guard Alyssa Stephenson. "She wasn't
letting us slack off or be lazy. I think we've been working hard
with her, following her with what we're supposed to do."
[to top of second column]
Offensively, Richmond has stressed taking care of the
basketball. She wants the Lady Railers to focus on getting good
shots, while limiting turnovers.
"I love a transition game, but right now, we want to slow the
game down, take care of the basketball and make extra passes," said
Richmond. "If we can play great defense and turn that into offense,
that's great. But if not, if we don't get that fast break, then I
really want us to know to run an offense in a half-court setting."
Along with the patient offense, Richmond says she expects a
balanced scoring approach, with no Lady Railer emerging as a go-to
scoring threat at this point.
"Alyssa, Emily, Kourtney Boward, Megan Jackson and some others,
if they work together, they have potential to be a great mix of
players," said Richmond. "But individually, I don't see anyone being
a star. I'm seeing it being a team effort, all the way down the end
of the bench."
Stephenson agreed.
"There shouldn't be anyone who is too outstanding with our
scoring," said Stephenson. "We should all be about equal. Our posts
will probably be our biggest scorers."
Richmond appears to be committed for a long-term plan to improve
the program, with plans to grow the program through reaching out to
junior high programs.
"At the lower levels, we're working on fundamentals," said
Richmond. "I don't think a lot of the girls have had enough of the
fundamental training. I'm going to try to get out to our junior
highs and get them involved more. Get eighth-graders and
seventh-graders involved."

UPDATED -- Three newly released reports suggest the American economy may finally be shaking off the winter doldrums that brought business activity down in the first quarter, with expectations of improvements well into the year.
Operating conditions in the U.S. manufacturing sector continued to improve during May, with strong increases in production and output complemented by further payroll growth, according to the financial information services provider Markit Economics.
Its Flash U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index improved to 56.2 in May, up from April's 55.4, the strongest reading by the survey for three months.
The latest survey data indicated continued strength in output growth, with U.S. manufacturers recording their best month-on-month increase in production since February 2011. Output has now risen consistently for over four-and a-half years and manufacturers attributed the latest production growth to a combination of higher new orders and work on outstanding contracts, according to Markit.
"The US manufacturing sector continued to gain strength heading into mid-year as supportive demand conditions led to the sharpest month-on-month increase in production for over three years," said Paul Smith, senior economist at Markit. "This provides further confirmation that industry will aid a rebound in U.S. gross domestic product in the second quarter, and other indicators from the survey suggest that the sector has plenty of momentum heading into the summer and beyond. Total workloads are up markedly, and manufacturers are gearing up for growth by purchasing inputs at a record rate."
New business volumes continued to rise at an elevated pace in May, amid reports of greater confidence in the marketplace, according to Markit. The domestic market appeared to be a key source of new order wins, as growth in new export sales was sustained but at a relatively modest pace.
Existing Home Sales
Existing-home sales increased for the first time this year in April, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Total existing-home sales rose 1.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.65 million in April from 4.59 million in March, but are 6.8% below the 4.99 million-unit level in April 2013.
"Some growth was inevitable after sub-par housing activity in the first quarter, but improved inventory is expanding choices and sales should generally trend upward from this point," said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. "Annual home sales, however, due to a sluggish first quarter, will likely be lower than last year."
Single-family home sales inched up 0.5% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.06 million in April from 4.04 million in March, but are 7.7% below the 4.4 million pace a year ago.
Regionally, existing-home sales in the Northeast were unchanged at an annual rate of 600,000 in April, but are 6.3% below April 2013, while existing sales in the Midwest slipped 1% in April to a pace of 1.03 million and are 9.6% below a year ago.
In the South, existing-home sales increased 1% percent, to an annual level of 1.94 million in April, but are 3.5% below April 2013, while existing-home sales in the West rose 4.9% to a pace of 1.08 million in April, but are 10% percent below a year ago.
Leading Economic Indicators
The Conference Board's Leading Economic Index for the U.S. increased 0.4% in April to 101.4, following a upwardly revised 1% increase in March and a 0.5% gain in February.
"The LEI rose for the third consecutive month, driven largely by improving housing and financial market conditions," said Ataman Ozyildirim, economist at The Conference Board. "This latest report suggests the economy will continue to expand, and may even pick up steam through the second half of the year."
This index from the private research group is a gauge of 10 different measures of the U.S. economy.
"Despite a brutal winter which brought the economy to a halt, the overall trend in the leading economic index has remained positive," said Ken Goldstein, economist at The Conference Board. "If consumers continue to spend, and businesses pick up the pace of investment, the industrial core of the economy will benefit and GDP growth could move closer towards the 3% range."
Updates adds existing home sales and LEI.

Hi Everyone,
I'm totally new to this quilting thing. LOL.. But tonight took the bull by the horns and jumped in. Sometime in my life I bought material for what I don't know. Well now I do. I'm going to make a table cloth of 5 inch squares. Each block will be 5" squares of 9, and if I am measuring and figuring correctly my small table will be only 4 blocks. This is more for learning to cut, sew, and be creative. My question to you is this... What would one put on the back? Something like what is used for table runners? Thanks a lot for your help. I really enjoy reading these posts and it has pushed me to try to be a little creative.

Foul Ball Homer + Sloppy Defense = One Ugly Loss
All I could think about as I watched that horrible throw sail past Ryan Howard in the 10th inning on what should have been an inning ending double play was having to sit in traffic with all those angry fans on the way home… UGH! That scored what turned out to be the game winning run for the Cubs. Of course, the game never should have headed in this direction to begin with…
Did you all see the lovely DeRosa home run in the 6th that was actually a foul ball? In fact, every game analyst, radio show host, TV host and pretty much every person in the stadium agreed that it was a foul ball. Even the home plate umpire must have thought it was foul as he gathered the umpires to confer (why else do you call a conference??), but since apparently no one else would grow a backbone and dispute the third base umpire Adrian Johnson, a foul ball miraculously became a homerun! He then proceeds to throw Charlie out of the game (see my photo below). Incidentally, Adrian Johnson is a MINOR league umpire who happens to be on the majors "call-up list" for use only when needed (see here – http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/umpires/roster_aaa.jsp). So, the Phillies appear to have gotten totally screwed today by an inexperienced minor leaguer and even worse, Bill Welke, the Home Plate Umpire allowed it to happen. Disgusting.
So as usual, nothing you can do but move on and try to win the game from there. That brings us to the 10th inning disaster. What is going on with Chase Utley? That throw? All the errors of late? Well, let me give a fun theory on this…apparently, he needs a new seamstress and is just too kind to say so. You see, in pre-game warm-ups, he spent a great deal of time fussing over the tightness of his pants. He pulled and yanked and stretched the fabric and grimaced over the obvious discomfort. Take a look:
So clearly, someone needs to either get him a new seamstress or buy the man a pair of pants that fit him! Because obviously he cannot play in this condition with certain body parts feeling so "crowded." This is a fashion 911 people! Someone please help him or so help me, I will run onto the field and rip those pants right off of him myself! Oh, sorry, the inner voice sometimes escapes in print… :o)
At any rate, back to the horrible throw… Even so, shouldn't Howard have at least been able to block that throw? As far as I am concerned, there were 2 errors on that play. He needed to at least keep the ball in front of him, even if it meant coming off the bag, to prevent the run from scoring. We have seen Ryan let WAY too many balls go flying past him this year (and last year…). And we are paying him how much? 10 million dollars? AND he's batting a .191 with 17 strikeouts already. Well, I am still a big fan of Ryan's and I think the bat will come around, but can we clean up the sloppy play here or what? I mean, dude, earn your pay!
Well, the Phillies did win the series, which is a good thing! Rumor has it we get Jimmy back for the next series. Sadly, Shane Victorino has been DL'd. …And in other news, I have added a video to the bottom of my "About Me" page. It is a Photo Tribute to the 2007 Phillies team I put together at the end of last year. Feel free to check that out. Talk to you all later!

Freshman Hannah Schulze
Final Stats
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-Visiting Bridgewater State won two of the three doubles matches and went on to defeat the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's women's tennis team, 6-3, in their Little East Conference match at the UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex Wednesday afternoon.
The Bears grabbed the upper hand after play was resumed by winning at number one and number two doubles. Play had been suspended with all three doubles matches in progress due to inclement weather on October 4th. BSU then won four of the six singles matches to clinch the victory.
Freshman Hannah Schulze (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) and junior Liz Girczyc (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS) put the Corsairs on the board by defeating freshmen Rachel Eramo (Rowley, MA/Ipswich HS) and Melissa Flynn (Stoneham, MA/Stoneham HS), 8-6, at number three doubles. Schulze defeated Eramo at number five singles, 7-5, 6-0, and sophomore Allison Furtado (Fairhaven, MA/Fairhaven HS) downed junior Ashley Pereira (Assonet, MA/Apponequet HS) at number four singles, 4-6, 6-4, (11-9), winning a super-tiebreaker.
BSU came through at the top of the singles lineup. Sophomore Jenna Williamson (Ludlow, MA/Ludlow HS) defeated sophomore Nicole Pelletier (Swansea, MA/Case HS) at number one singles, 6-3, 6-4; senior Bridget Murphy (Mattapoisett, MA/Old Rochester HS) downed senior Courtney Morey (Mashpee, MA/Mashpee HS) at number two singles, 6-4, 6-3; and junior Julie Kraby (Wrentham, MA/King Philip Regional HS) defeated sophomore Angela Pollard (Portsmouth, RI/Portsmouth HS) at number three singles, 6-4, 6-4.
"We had some very close matches, and Bridgewater pulled them out," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Ralph Perry. "I was proud of our effort, but Bridgewater deserved to win today. We got an outstanding performance at third doubles from Hannah Schulze and Liz Girczyc, and Hannah and Allison did a good job for us in singles."
The Corsairs dropped to 7-4 and 4-3 in the Little East Conference with the defeat, while the Bears improved to 10-1 and 7-0 in the LEC with the victory. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host Western Connecticut State Friday. Bridgewater State will visit Salem State Saturday.

Federal judge orders Ohio's Husted back to court
Last week, a federal judge ordered Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) to leave the state's early-voting window open for all of the state's eligible voters, overturning a Republican law approved last year. Husted's next step should have been, obviously, establishing expanded hours for early voting and setting a statewide schedule.
But Husted had other ideas. On Tuesday, the Republican official, who helps oversee Ohio's elections process, said he intended to ignore the court ruling until after an appeal.
I'm not an attorney, but it's my understanding that federal courts get a little peeved when someone tries to ignore their decisions.
A federal judge ordered Secretary of State Jon Husted on Wednesday to personally appear next week at a hearing about his reluctance to restore early voting the weekend before the Nov. 6 election.
Judge Peter Economus, whose ruling Husted has resisted, scheduled the hearing on Sept. 13 in the U.S. District Court in Columbus.
Economus set the hearing after President Barack Obama's re-election team filed a motion Wednesday requesting the court to enforce its order to restore in-person early voting during the final three days before the presidential election.
Rick Hasen posted a copy of yesterday's order.
From Husted's perspective, his appeal is likely to work – the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has a reputation for a conservative-friendly circuit – so he doesn't see any point to making it easier for his own constituents to cast ballots during the upcoming election. On the contrary, as a Republican official, Husted is eager to make it more difficult for Ohio voters to participate, not less.
Unfortunately for the Ohio Secretary of State, however, judges don't much care about defendants' expectations. Economus issued a ruling and he wants Husted to follow it. Decisions from federal courts are not suggestions and they're not optional.

I've been a Flickr user for a while now, but in no means would I consider myself a Flickr poweruser. However, I've been exploring Flickr a bit more as of late and found that they've got lots of awesome T-Shirt related groups that you can join. Thanks to bigguybigcity better known as tee blogger hideyourarms, designer Olly Moss and the T-critic blogger Karl Long, I found these groups while scouring their profiles!
Oh and before I forget – you can add me on Flickr too!
Here are 5 of my favorites (so far):Â
1. T-Shirts. 10,709 Tees. This group is lied by Little Dragon and seems to be the group with the most tees added amongst this lot. Another plus with this group is its active discussion area – lots of talk going on there compared to the other groups. Here's the group description:
Tees – hell… shirts, sweaters, hoodies – nowadays have crazy, witty and overall funny sayings, sayings and icons, pictures and colours. Post pictures of people in funny and/or odd t-shirts here.
2. Funny T-Shirts. 500 Tees. This is the site specifically for funny tees, in fact, according to admin TheNakedPhotographer "Your shit better be funny or worth being in here or I will delete it, add shit shirts here twice and I will ban you!" Whenever you see a funny tee, snap a pic of it and upload it to the Funny T-Shirts group.
3. T-Shirt Revolution. 8,964 Tees. This is the group that's all about printing and making your own tee designs. If you made the tee, post it here! They also have active discussions on transferring designs to blank tees and on blank tee types in general. If you're a do-it-yourself-er than be sure to add this group and start contributing! The group admin is Stephane Vendran.Â
4. Fresh Tees. 3,787 Tees. This is the official addic[tee]d Flickr group run by Mr. Fresh. addic[tee]d is a tee blog that is based in Athens, Greece. The addic[tee]d tee blog has been around since 2005. This group does not allow "plain text" tees so be careful not to add those.
5. I Love T-Shirts. 2,136 Tees. This is a Brazilian group run by Aline Szucs. Although not in English, they do have a ton of fun tees in this group. Definitely worth checking out. And if you understand Portuguese then here's the group description:
Camisetas são Ãtens básicos e indispensáveis no guarda-roupa que vão conosco a qualquer lugar! Trocas, dicas, dúvidas, são os objetivos deste grupo! Trocas: peço a todos que organizarem ou participarem, manter sempre o respeito uns para com os outros, pois este tipo de interação tem como objetivo descontarir e não "estressar", ok? Fotos: somente de camisetas, blusinhas e afins!!! Estão proibidos: xingamentos, ofensas, material inadequado e tudo que possa prejudicar o grupo. Abs!

In today's installment of Speak-Up on Kotaku, commenter Nameloi craves a game that realistically depicts getting brained with a morningstar. We've got modern combat covered, why not medieval combat? She's even made her own box art.
How about a First Person Combat game set in the middle ages? replace assault rifles, bazookas and grenades for swords, throwing axes and crossbows. How about it being set in a historical time period like the Hundred Years' War between France and Britain or the Crusades?
Make it gritty, make it realistic, make it up close and personal, the sound of blades clashing, horses galloping and arrows piercing the sky.
We live in a First Person Shooter generation and no one, I mean no one has thought about this? Seriously?
So here I present you...Call to Arms: Medieval Warrior!
About Speak-Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That's why we have that little box on the front page of Kotaku. You know, the one with "Got something to say?" written in it? That's the place to post anecdotes, photos, game tips and hints, and anything you want to share with Kotaku at large. Just make sure to include #speakup in your comment so we can find it. Every weekday we'll pull one of the best #speakup posts we can find and highlight it here.

Because everyone in Oppo apparently owns one of these now, I decided we should get our hands on one too.
The last time I drove a Fiesta ST, it was for a brief stint on an autocross course at a Ford event. I'm looking forward to spending more time with this baby hot hatch.
If you don't know, now you know: 1.6-liter turbo four, 197 horsepower, 214 pound-feet of torque, six-speed manual gearbox, Recaro seats, an enhanced suspension, and a few other goodies.
Things I like: It's full of pep, it has a nice rumble engine and exhaust sound, the gearbox is extremely pleasant and easy to use, its compact size is great for the city, the handling seems pretty superb, it's just plain fun to drive at any speed, and it's got a nice dose of practicality and real-world usefulness as well.
Things I don't like as much: It's still a Fiesta so the interior isn't spectacular for its price, the driving position is awkward to me because the gearshift feels lower than it should, and we'll see how comfortable these Recaros are during long distances.
It's a swell little car so far. I like it quite a bit. Sticker is just under $26,000. A full review is coming next week. In the meantime, feel free to ask me questions about this car and I'll get to them as I can.

Princess Cut Diamond Three Stone Engagement Ring in 14k White gold
Children who experience shame have a difficult time asking for what they need. They express themselves through subterfuge, manipulation, challenging behavior. The message is almost always the same. They are asking for connection...In so doing, no matter how they do it, they are risking the rejection they most fear.

My kitchen refresh is well underway and by Sunday the only thing that will be left to do i s to replace the fridge. That will have to wait. It appears it's time for a new airconditioner, darn it!
But onto less stressful things than spending money. Cooking in my newly (almost) refreshed kitchen makes me feel like a princess. It's shiny and sleek and after having finally made a tile decision, I get to create in a kitchen space that feels luxurious. It only took me TEN YEARS to choose a backsplash!
I'll tell you this much, it sure is nice having nothing on the counters. I am going to think long and hard before I put the utensil container, olive oil, and spice racks back. This is going to take some clever rearranging in the cabinets.
I am trying not to do much cooking until the work is complete. All that is left now is the grout work which will be done on Saturday morning. I don't know how long it needs to dry, but I'm starting to think about what I'll cook in the finished space.
Tonight I pulled a turkey cutlet out of the fridge and used the pesto I made the other night to serve along with a few spears of roasted asparagus. I threw together Turkey Piccata and it was delicious. It looked darn good too. Or was it the tile and range that look so good?
You decide. I'm just amazed that my favorite color is red, but everything in my house is either a version of green or brown. What does that say about me? Yeah, don't try to figure it out. It's likely to change at some point.
This delicious entreé will cost you just 7 Weight Watchers Points Plus values and is an impressive weeknight dinner. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
This is a very quick dish to prepare and makes a delicious weeknight dinner
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
2- 4 ounce boneless skinless Turkey Breast cutlets
1/4 cup Flour
1/2 Lemon
1/4 cup White Wine
1/2 cup No Fat Chicken Broth
1/4 cup Capers in Brine
1/4 cup Flat Leaf Parsley Leaves, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
Pound a turkey breast until it becomes about 1/4 inch thick or using a knife, slice the breast to 1/4 inch thick cutlet
Heat a skillet and add olive oil
Sprinkle flour on a plate

Coins for those with friends who live far away.
The Earthblood Warrens are a series of caverns in which dwell men who live around the Earthblood Vein, a river of magma. They use the magma from the Earthblood Vein to warm and light their homes and cook their food. The Warrens are several miles long, stretching along the banks of the Earthblood Vein, and since nobody wants to walk that far, the Earthbloodmen capture large, magma-swimming serpents, which they train and ride.

Public Health England has issued a warning today after a Level 3 Cold Weather Alert.
These are issued when severe weather is occurring, when average temperatures have dropped to 2°C or below, and/or widespread ice and heavy snow is present.
Dr Angie Bone of Public Health England (PHE) said: "The Met Office says that many places are going to feel really cold for the next few days, which may be a bit of a shock after our recent milder weather, so it's really important people take extra care when out and about.
"It's worth remembering that while most outdoor slips, trips and falls in weather like this are of those who are of working age, accidents can happen to anyone.
"If you're staying indoors have plenty of warm food and drinks to stay warm. Try to maintain indoor temperatures to at least 18°C, particularly if you are not mobile, have a long term illness or are over 65, and check weather forecasts and plan your day around them.
"Also take some time to think about how the bad weather may affect your friends and family, particularly if they are older or very young or have pre-existing health conditions. These groups can be particularly vulnerable. Remember that older people may not go outside to the shops, to hospital appointments and so on when weather is bad, so think what you could do to help them.
"Although most of our advice on keeping warm and well in cold weather may seem like common sense, it's important to remember that cold kills, even in places where the temperatures aren't at their lowest."
Paul Gundersen, chief operational meteorologist at the Met Office said: "It will turn much colder for all parts of England over the next few days. Spells of sleet and snow at the start of the period will become increasingly confined to the North Sea coast and hills, giving way to cold, crisp days and sharp overnight frosts with a risk of ice. Frosts may also be severe at times, particularly where there is lying snow.
"As winds fall light there is an increasing risk of freezing fog patches forming overnight and locally where this freezing fog lingers temperatures may stay sub-zero all day. The cold weather currently looks like lasting into the early part of next week with a trend towards less cold conditions during the second half of next week."
Top tips to prepare for colder weather:
· look out for friends and family who may be vulnerable to the cold and ensure they have access to warm food, drinks and are managing to heat their homes adequately
· try to maintain indoor temperatures to at least 18°C, particularly if you are not mobile, have long term illness or are 65 or over
· stay tuned for weather forecasts, ensure you are stocked with food and medications in advance (have deliveries or ask a friend to help)
· take weather into account when planning your activity over the following days
· avoid exposing yourself to cold or icy outdoor conditions if you are at a higher risk of cold related illness or falls
· discuss with friends and neighbours about clearing snow and ice from in front of your house and public walkways nearby, if unable to do so yourself

The School of Business requires all business students to gain hands-on experience in the fields they wish to enter. We offer several mechanisms for students to gain real-world experience including:
- Informational Interviews: Students meet with a professional in their field of interest and over the course of an hour-long structured interview learn both about the field and about what they will need to do while at Ithaca College to effectively prepare to enter that profession.
- Field Immersion: AllStudents enrolled as of Fall 2012 are required to complete a 30 hours on-site job-shadowing experience in their field of interest. Students can complete this requirement, which is intended to prepare a student for a more in-depth internship experience, as early as the second semester of their freshmen year.
- Field Experience: Business Administration students enrolled prior to Fall 2012 are required to complete 35 hours of on-site experience after completing their sophomore year. Many students commit to a more in-depth internship experience to meet this requirement.
- Internships: Students can earn between 1-6 credits (students must complete 55 hours of on-site experience per credit). Depending on whether the student chooses to complete a 300-level internship or a 400-level internship, the internship will be overseen either by the Professional Development Coordinator or a faculty member.
These experiences are a valuable part of the Ithaca College experience and we would like to make sure every student is given the opportunity to advance their skills.
The School of Business works closely with businesses to meet the needs and expectations of current employers in the ever-changing workforce. In creating new partnerships as well as maintaining existing ones, we are able to supply a well-rounded and competent workforce for current employers.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Ithaca College School of Business at email@example.com or 607-274-3680.

Everyone grumbles about the high costs of TV service, but most of us just pay up, month after pricier month. That's too bad, because customers who speak up often get a break.
When we surveyed almost 21,000 Consumer Reports readers who had a triple-play deal (TV, phone, and Internet), we found that only 1 out of 3 had negotiated with their provider. But close to half of those bargainers got a reduction in their monthly bill or more services for the same money. (The report is available through the Consumer Reports website.)
Why not give it a try? Here are some tips on negotiating:
First call your service provider and say your bill is too high. Find out whether you qualify for any promotions, including their best deal for new customers. Stress that you've been a loyal customer for X years and would like to stay—but only if they can do something for you. That "something" might be a lower rate, no DVR fee for a year, or more channels for the same price (a higher programming tier or free HBO and Showtime for 6 months or a year, for instance).
If they won't budge, call other providers in your area to see what kind of deal they'll give you. In most parts of the country, there's only one cable company. But satellite TV is widely available, Verizon FiOS covers 12 states, and AT&T U-Verse is offered in 22 states. Maybe a competing package will be so good you'll want to switch. Just be sure you know exactly what you'll get and how much it costs now, how long that offer is in effect, and what you'll pay after the initial deal expires.
[Click to compare rates from multiple providers now.]
If you'd rather stick with your current company, let them know you're considering another deal. Provide specifics, and ask them to meet or beat that offer.
No results with your first call? Hang up and call back. You might get a different answer from another rep. Still no luck? Say you're thinking about terminating service and ask for the "disconnect department"—also known as customer retention. Their mission is to hang onto customers, so they often have more ability to wheel and deal.
Lower your bills by buying less. Are you paying for a set-top box or DVR for a TV you rarely use? Could you get by with an over-the-air antenna for a bedroom TV that's used mostly for network news or late-night talk shows, or with a basic cable package supplemented by streaming video? If the answer to any of those questions is "yes," cut back.
Parting advice: Be polite, be firm, be persistent, and keep good records. It's worth a shot.
The Consumer Reports telecom services report features Ratings of bundles from 14 companies, along with individual phone, TV, and Internet services from several more providers. The full report can be found in the May issue of Consumer Reports, and online at ConsumerReports.org.

Editor's Note: This is a review written by Jeff Johnston. His Motor Matter column runs in the Washington Times and other newspapers. He also is a contributor to RVBusiness.
More fuel-efficient is definitely "in" these days when it comes to RV products. Manufacturers are coming up with interesting, new, smaller motorized and towable options for those looking for something a bit different to fit today's economic sensibilities.
Winnebago Via
Motorhomes based on the Dodge Sprinter van, both the full van and cutaway chassis, are popular and commonplace today. Winnebago Industries Inc. has gone one step further with the introduction of its all-new 2010 Via Class A motorhome.
The Via and its Itasca equivalent, the Reyo, are based on the Sprinter "cowl" chassis that's currently being imported exclusively by Winnebago. This chassis allows the company to design its entire coach from the ground up, as is typical for any Class A motorhome, instead of working with the Sprinter cab or body features used on the earlier models.
At 25 feet long, the Via is a compact vehicle, yet it offers full-featured livability and comfort. At the same time, its 154-hp Mercedes-Benz 3.0-L turbo-diesel 6-cylinder engine delivers fuel economy numbers considerably higher than the average gas-powered Class A and better than various front- or rear-engine diesel-powered rigs on the market.
Sprinter-van-based Class B motorhomes are reported to achieve as much as 20-plus mpg. Winnebago hasn't released any fuel economy figures yet, but it's reasonable to presume that the Via will achieve lower numbers than the smaller van-based rigs, but still better than a V-8-powered coach.
Contemporary body styling and graphics give the coach visual appeal, and the interior abounds with smooth, rounded surfaces and next-generation-looking cabinets. It's a rig that likely would please the most persnickety type who doesn't want just another box on wheels.
The Via starts at $135,132 base MSRP. That's not cheap, but long-term fuel savings make it a viable investment option.
True North Freelance OSV
The interest in downsized trailers means more RV manufacturers are treading the fine line between an RV and a simple enclosed place to sleep on wheels. Northwood Manufacturing Inc., a company long known for building functional and high-quality RVs designed by outdoors enthusiasts, has developed a new small trailer that fits a variety of recreation product niches.
The new Freelance Outdoor Support Vehicle (OSV) by Northwood's True North division is an exciting addition to the smaller-RV market. It resembles one of the classic teardrop-style trailers on steroids and offers a wide variety of equipment and function options.
In essence, it's a 1,535-pound trailer with a sofa that folds down to a bed, a rear lift hatch that covers a kitchenette unit and several exterior-access storage compartments. Its rounded front and sloped aft end help with aerodynamics, and the unit's 16-foot, 4-inch length means it can be stored in many garages.
As with a teardrop, users need to bend over inside as the entire rig is just 6 feet 9 inches tall overall from ground to roofline. Inside, it's just the sofa/bed that folds down to 48 x 77 inches, some mesh storage pockets, and extra open storage space. A lower-level access hatch provides pass-through long-item storage capability.
And that's still a lot more luxurious than the average tent. The Freelance OSV is aimed at those who want to make the leap from a tent into an RV without a lot of complications or cost. This rig retails for about $8,250 base MSRP, and heads up to closer to $13,100 fully equipped.
Users can opt for the base package or equip the Freelance OSV with a wide variety of options including a complete array of Thule rack-mount storage and sporting-toy-mount or camping accessories.
The Freelance OSV is an interesting and versatile new option for first-time RVers or those wishing to expand the flexibility of their leisure time activities.
Chalet RV: Moving and Shaking
The product designers at Chalet RV Inc. have been busy with a new model aimed at the lightweight towable market. A company spokesman said the product would be ready for introduction very soon, pending some final detail touches on the first model.
While it's no big news to build a lightweight RV these days, the big difference lies in how your lightweight compares to the other guy's product.
The new Chalet model is said to break new ground in that regard and will offer full livability features, including a dry bath, in a very compact size. It's not a fold-down, like another popular Chalet product line, and it's not a teardrop, although it blends elements of each.
It also uses wide-body design to help achieve extra interior space.

|Robert William Holt
1800 - 1862
You can read about this more at this post, such an interesting story it inspired my blog (my very first post!) http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/07/hawaii-boston-connection-to-royal.html Since then I've blogged a lot about the Holts, Joneses, Dominises and other families in Hawaii and Boston. You can see the links in the right hand column, and click on them to read these posts. With Lisa Holt, and Corinne Chun of Washington Place, other Holt descendants and much research I've been able to piece together how I was related to this interesting piece of American History. I also found how two more Jones sisters stayed in Boston, but still participated in Hawaiian history (one had a publisher son, William Lee, who printed Queen Lili'uokalani's biography, and another married the man, Snelling, who shipped the windows, doors, etc. for buildingWashington Place).

*Calabash Cousin (from Wikipedia) "In Hawaii, a calabash is a large serving bowl, usually made from a hardwood ... It is used on a buffet table or in the middle of the dining table. The use of the calabash in Hawaii has led to terms like "calabash family" or "calabash cousins", indicating an extended family grown up around shared meals and close friendships. Food is very important in modern Hawaiian culture. The expression "e komo mai - Come, let's eat" was the standard welcome to anyone approaching a home."

Panama City - A man is in critical condition after shooting himself in the head five or six times at a Panama City gun range.
The Bay County sheriff's office says the shooting was self-inflicted but doesn't know yet if it was accidental or on purpose.
The man walked into Jays Guns and Accessories on Highway 390 near the old airport to use the range just before one o clock. First responders got the call half an hour later that someone had been shot multiple times in the head.
Paramedic's rushed the man to Bay Medical.
Jays Guns and Accessories is divided into a gun shop and a shooting range. Major Tommy Ford of the Bay County Sheriff's Department told NewsChannel 7 no one was in the range with the man at the time.
"The employee of the shop was watching from the shop side separated by the wall. There were no other customers in the store and no other subjects shooting in the range area at the time."
Authorities haven't released much information about the man yet, but we do know he is in his mid twenties and carried an out-of-state driver's license.

GOP leaders: No overhaul
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Republican Party honchos who huddled here for their first big gathering since the election devoted lots of time talking about the need to welcome Latinos and women, close the technology gap with Democrats and stop the self-destructive talk about rape.
But the party's main problem, dozens of Republican National Committee members argued in interviews over three days this week, is who delivers its message and how, not the message itself. Overwhelmingly they insisted that substantive policy changes aren't the answer to last year's losses.
Story Continued Below
Moderation, at least at this stage, is no virtue at the RNC.
( Also on POLITICO: Republican lawmakers fire up anti-abortion crowd)
"It's not the platform of the party that's the issue," RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Friday after being easily reelected to a second, two-year term. "In many cases, it's how we communicate about it. It is a couple dumb things that people have said."
A slide presented during a closed-press strategy session said that Mitt Romney might be president if he had won fewer than 400,000 more votes in key swing states.
"We don't need a new pair of shoes; we just need to shine our shoes," said West Virginia national committeewoman Melody Potter.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told a luncheon crowd that the GOP is at "a turning point" and needs "real change."
( Also on POLITICO: Priebus: GOP must adapt to 'permanent politics')
Then he clarified: "It's not about ideology…The people on the left are the people on the left, and they ask us to come to them – which is absurd…Obama's a hard core left-winger. I want him to compromise with us on our terms."
Ohio Republican Chairman Bob Bennett said the key to a GOP turnaround is to catch up with Democrats technologically.
"Listen, we're a conservative party. I'm proud of that," he said. "They were on the ground for four years in Ohio. We didn't pick up what they were doing in that four-year period, and they were pretty damn effective."
( Also on POLITICO: RNC panel to report what went wrong)
A big focus of the four-day session, which wraps up Saturday, was adopting a more positive attitude – and smiling! – when interacting with voters and reporters. New Hampshire chairman Wayne MacDonald said party leadings need to work on "not being sour-pusses on television or the radio" – that there is a way to be firm and assertive without being mean-spirited.
"Nobody is saying the Republican Party has to change our beliefs in any of our platform planks," he said. "This party wants to serve everybody that believes in our principles."
Many of the 168 elected members of the committee brought up the comments about rape by GOP Senate candidates Todd Akin in Missouri and Richard Mourdock in Indiana. Each lost, even as Romney won both states handily.
"On some things, we have the right policy and do a terrible job conveying it. And the Democrats have a bad policy and do a great job," said Mississippi Republican Chairman Joe Nosef.
"So conservatives feel like, whether this is right or wrong, that if we're talking about the issues, that we have a really good chance at winning. The thing we can't do is start talking about crazy stuff… We run people off… A collective number of these people are tired of doing that."
"I feel like a pro-life position is a position that a lot of people have, but that doesn't have anything to do with crazy talk about rape," he added.
Without objection, the full RNC approved a resolution by voice vote Friday calling on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood and redistribute the money intended for cancer screening and preventive services to organizations that do not perform abortions.

Great customer service! I really have enjoyed working with Davinci's team and I feel confident I've made the right choice in virtual office spaces.
My company has been looking to expand in other states and some states require a physical address in order to do business there. Davinci has made it extremely easy to set up a physical address to use!
Mayra K.
Amazing platform for small businesses in New York City. The fast response to every communication is the key for Davinci's success in my opinion. Thanks for a great service to the small business community.
I just got set up with virtual office services, and it was incredibly fast and easy. I didn't even need to leave my home office to get any of it done
Ron B.
They did exactly what I expected. Both the staff at the corporate office and the staff at the virtual office in CA were great to work with. I would use them again.
