Doctors for USA WEEKEND
Sometimes you smell not-so-fresh, other times — like after a particularly tough workout or super-stressful meeting — you stink. It's a fact of life we may not like, but we're all too familiar with. Here's another fact (this one may surprise you): Sweat doesn't actually smell. Most sweat glands secrete a water-salt mixture. But the glands in your underarms, groin and scalp are linked to hair follicles and release a little oil, too. When bacteria on your skin feasts on this fatty sweat, it's the byproducts that cause odor.
Here are a few simple ways to help stinky spots smell good:
Roll-on before bed. Antiperspirants temporarily block sweat pores, which reduces the amount of perspiration on your skin. People tend to sweat less at night, so using antiperspirant before you hit the sack allows more of the aluminum-based active ingredient to be pulled into pores, and block the sweat even better. Deodorant does nothing for perspiration, but it helps eliminate odors. It's usually alcohol-based, which makes skin less appealing to bacteria. Prescription antiperspirants are available, if needed. Note: You may have heard ingredients in these products could raise breast cancer risk, but experts say there's no conclusive evidence of that.
Soak toes in tea. Black tea contains tannic acid, which kills bacteria and closes sweat pores. Just boil two teabags for 15 minutes, add two quarts of cold water to cool it off, and soak your toes for 30 minutes a day for a week. More tips: Wash feet daily with antibacterial soap and dry well; sprinkle cornstarch or antifungal powder on your feet and baking soda in your shoes; and wear moisture-wicking socks.
Brush your tongue. Its uneven surface is the perfect host to trap odor-causing bacteria. So when you brush your teeth (twice a day and after meals, if possible), give your tongue a good scrubbing. If it's coated with an overgrowth of bacteria (from smoking or dry mouth, for example), consider using a tongue scraper. Also: floss once a day (to remove odor-causing food particles and plaque); drink lots of water or chew sugarless gum; and schedule regular dental checkups.

Tynan Muddle at Aussie-Gamer.com writes: Nestled in the heart of Sydney Australia, indie developers Nnooo tirelessly work hard on ther new game that will give Pokémon a run for its money.
The game is Spirit Hunters Inc. and in the lead up to its November 22nd release, Creative Director Nic Watt, flanked by wingman and Business Director Bruce Thomson spoke with Aussie-Gamer in-depth about their studio, the gaming industry and for the first time to any publication, Nintendo Wii U.
Wii U games already look good and they will keep getting better and better as developers master the hardware.
As long as
1. The 360 and PS3 still are relevant
2. the next consoles from Microsoft and Sony don't have a profound technological leap.
3. The PS4/360 are not backwards compatible; If the next gen is b/c, then the previous gen can still be played... and purchased, which will give motivation for Wii U developers to invest deeply in the Wii U and possibly make some games cross-compatible.
It does matter. The more power it has the more likely it will be to receive support for years.
Please don't say that graphical leaps will become smaller because they will not.
I just want a next gen system that uses a standard controller with good games. I don't want last gen graphics, motion controls, and tablets. The Pro controller isn't standard so not all games will support it sadly. Nintendo has had a drop in quality ever since the Wii launched. Haters gonna thumbs down this, of course. Just waiting for the PS4.
Did the Wii's power matter to sell a trillion units? Of course not..it's the integration of cutting edge features and content as opposed to raw power! Just ask Sony.

French Government joins nations supporting elections in YemenFeb 9, 2014
Sana'a, Sunday 9 February 2014, signaling greater international cooperation for the transitional period and the electoral processes that are its backbone, the United Nations Development Programme and the French Government on Sunday formally signed an agreement that would contribute some US$ 406,620 to Yemen's new voter registry. By pledging more support to UNDP's Support to the Elections during the Transitional Period (SETP) project and its Multi-Donors Basket Fund (MDBF), France will further enhance the ability of the Supreme Commission for Elections and Referendum (SCER) to rollout a nationwide biometric voter registration campaign over the next few months.
During a breakfast event at the French Ambassador's Residence, United Nations Development Programme Resident Representative Mr. Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed and France's Ambassador to Yemen M. Franck Gellet discussed the importance of transforming the currently outdated, and controversial, voter registry into a technological-advanced biometric system that would enhance transparency and good governance in Yemen. "The French Government's support to the new voter registry and the Yemeni elections commission is only further proof that the international community is dedicated to the idea of a truly "new Yemen," said Mr. Ould Cheikh Ahmed. "With its contribution to UNDP's SETP project, the French Government will be enhancing Yemen's ability to conduct free and fair electoral processes not only during the transition, but even after its conclusion as the country forges a new citizen-driven identity."
Creating a new voter registry is a crucial part of the Gulf Cooperation Council Transitional Agreement, which called for a peaceful transfer of power from former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, to his vice-president Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi through Early Presidential Elections, and the establishment of transition phase with milestones such as a Comprehensive National Dialogue Conference, a Constitutional Referendum, Parliamentary Elections, and Presidential Elections signaling the end of the transition.
The French Government is providing funding in order to assist the SCER in implementing a nationwide communication strategy that will seek to educate the public about the biometric voter registration process, and also develop the capacity of the SCER to implement such a large-scale program. With the signing of the agreement, the French Government has reiterated its support for the electoral processes that will ultimately shape the country following the successful conclusion of the Comprehensive National Dialogue Conference in late January.
France joins eight nations currently a part of the MDBF, all of which have dedicated both financial and material support to the electoral processes of the transition.

As we lead up to the Super Bowl, we'll be looking back, in no particular order, at some of the Packers' previous title games.
From YouTube comes this 2-part video of the 1962 NFL title game which was played on December 30, 1962 at Yankee Stadium. The Green Bay Packers defeated the New York Football Giants, 16-7, to claim their eighth (and Lombardi's second) World Championship. The Packers wore their road whites, only the second time (after 1960) they had done so in a championship tilt.
"I think it was about as fine a football game as I've ever seen," commented Packers legendary coach Vince Lombardi after the game. "I think we saw football as it should be played."
Check out the team jacket Bart Starr is wearing in the opening segment. I'm not familiar with this one:
It appears to be pretty simple, a dark green wool jacket with single gold stripe on the collar, waist and cuffs.
Odd placement for the team name - across the shoulders, it's about where player names would be at the end of the decade.
A very sharp look.
Later on, when Willie Wood is ejected from the game for arguing a flag, he takes to the sidelines and dons a cape and knit cap.
The cap is interesting; it should bear his #24, but instead it appears to be #17, a number which was unissued between 1960 and 1967:
I wonder if it was common for players to wear other numbers on their sideline gear.

Why was Willie Wood ejected for questioning a call? Was there a racial undertone for the ejection? I was 10 when I was watching the 1960 championship hame and that was the impression that stayed with me...a little white kid from west central Wisconsin. It seemed so unfair....

Chris Donovan wanted to be a congressman. Now he's the reluctant star of a federal court multimedia show on corrupt practices, featuring a colorful lineup of bums and goodfella wannabes.
Donovan lost the congressional seat he wanted to Elizabeth Esty, who — in the words of The Courant's Jon Lender "accepted tens of thousands of dollars from … contributors who work in the industries regulated by her husband," the state's Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection Dan Esty. Lately, La Esty has been returning the contributions most blatantly connected to matters pending before Le Esty.
Does it seem like maybe something is wrong here?
Donovan's mess is bigger because his lame-brained crew got caught breaking the one rule in the otherwise freewheeling feces-tossing monkey house of American politics. You can take campaign money and then wire up government business to benefit the people who gave it to you. But you can't carve out an openly stated agreement to do that.
That's why Esty is currently living in a "Gilmore Girls" episode set in D.C. and Donovan was standing outside a courthouse last week explaining to the press and a hot dog vendor what "I took care of you, didn't I?" means.
A lot hinges on those words, spoken by Donovan to Ray Soucy, the case's thing-who-crawled-out-from-under-a-rock. Soucy is a former corrections officer and union official who went from low-wattage mastermind of a criminal conspiracy to arrested-and-therefore-cooperating informant to star witness at the trial of Robert Braddock Jr., who was Donovan's campaign finance director.
Soucy, wearing more wires than a surge protector, accosted Donovan at his nominating convention after a plan to tax roll-your-own tobacco shops died a quiet, ambiguous death. The seven people indicted in this case were involved in the transfer of money from the cigarette people to Donovan's congressional campaign.
The feds were hoping Soucy would catch Donovan admitting that he killed the bill. Before anything else is said, Donovan greets Soucy with "I took care of you, didn't I?"
Donovan's somewhat hilarious explanation is that this is an all-purpose salutation, like the famous speech in "Donnie Brasco" when Johnny Depp's character lays out the many elastic meanings of "forget about it." The thing is, Donovan is right. Politicians will take credit for almost anything. "How about this great weather? I took care of you, didn't I?"
Soucy, handling his assignment with all the finesse of a junkyard car crusher, tells Donovan his people are grateful, hence the $20,000 in contributions plus another $10,000 on the way, "for killing the bill." This completely spooks the deer and Donovan bolts off into the underbrush, saying, "I didn't kill the bill. I worked on the legislative side. I did the right thing."
Translation: "Are you wearing a wire or something?"
Soucy seems to be one of the very few people to have watched "The Sopranos" and yearned to be Paulie Walnuts. He is certainly one of the 20 remaining nonfictional Americans to use "10 large" to mean "ten thousand." But the net impression of the testimony at the Braddock trial was closer to "Bugsy Malone," the 1976 film in which children pretended to be gangsters.
Scurrying parallel to Donovan's circus was Larry Cafero, the Republican leader in the House. My colleague Kevin Rennie showed earlier this week how Cafero was caught in a lie. Soucy put $5,000 in cash in Cafero's refrigerator. Cafero insisted it be taken out — a Healthy Choice! — and his aide persuaded Soucy to convert it to a leaner cuisine of five checks, each for one large, to Republican political action committees. When the Braddock scandal broke, Cafero pretended he had only recently been made aware of this sum.
Forget about it! Here is the important subtext. Nobody in these cases — including the Estys and including lower-ranking House leadership — is unfamiliar with the basic dynamic. You give money to campaigns and you get treated better than the chumps who don't. This is going to be very hard to change in federal elections because of the creepy, overreaching, legislating-from-the-bench Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
Meanwhile, in the immortal — and uncharacteristically true — words of Ray Soucy, caught on an FBI tape, if the public knew what state Capitol politicians would do for a $10,000 contribution, "they'd burn the place down."

I just got back from two weeks of backpacking in Patagonia about a week ago. Here are a few of my favorite images from the trip.
2 - This one is a work in progress, but I love the clouds!
Camera: Anonymous
I could tell you but I wouldn't want you to get all pissy if it's the wrong brand
You really jumped all the way in to that backpacking thing, now I'm jealous. Now, lets just say #6 is my runaway favorite. 1,3,9,&10 are also good, I'm not really into 8, but #6 is amazing. Curious to know more about the trip.
Number 6 is a classic composition. But I like the first best. The warm/cool color contrast between the ice and mountains is interesting. I would hate to see what one of those online printing services' auto-color correction processes tries to do with it
Did you plan the trip on your own, use a tour company or just hire a guide? I have met a number of guides on other adventure type trips that do Patagonia treks. After a scare with acute mountain sickness at 15k ft in Peru I have become hesitant about some regions. What was the average and peak altitude on your trip?
Stunning shot here. The only thing that can be fixed is the horizontal on the first.

There really wasn't much planning involved. Bought a book, got a plane ticket and that was it. Booked all shuttles and hotels once we were already there. Mostly though we were backpacking and camping closer to the shooting locations. You only really need a guide if you want to go out on the ice or maybe for climbing. For what we were doing, it wasn't necessary at all. The town is small enough to walk and most of the trailheads start at the edge of town. We went out for 2, 3 and 4 night backpacking trips. In between trips we stayed at hotels which we either got on the spot or reserved a few days ahead.
Elevation was a non issue. I think the highest we were was about 4000 ft. The main peaks are in the 10k-11k ft range. Weather is the bigger issue. Highly variable and can get crazy windy. I gave myself 2 weeks for shooting because of this and I needed every day. The first 3rd of the trip I couldn't see Cerro Torre or Fitz Roy. The second 3rd I could see the peaks but there were too many clouds at sunrise. The last 3rd the stars finally aligned for me.
Stunning images all around! Excellent work.
One place I have never been. BA only briefly.
Stunning shots.

Yeah, I was gonna say that too, after my first post I started comparing the edge of the lake to the bottom of my screen.
A few questions,
Was it cold? There seems to be some fresh snow on the ground in a few of those. I'm curious how you dealt with backpacking in the snow, so far I've chickened out whenever I had the chance. And, are these sunsets,rises, or both? A cold sunrise is a thing I have a hard time getting out for.
I was gonna ask about elevation, but that's answered. Strange that you never came close to the elevation of my house, and yet there are towering glaciated mountains everywhere.
What kind of gear did you use and were there any issues getting it overseas? I've actually never been backpacking more than a 2 hour drive from where I live. The thought of bringing a tent etc. on a plane makes me cringe.
Tents on planes are easy. It is tent poles, trekking poles, etc. that are tough. I have actually purchased a 3ft long section of white plastic drain pipe and put two screw on ends to carry easily bent items. I even made it TSA lock friendly with a few holes and a TSA cable lock.

A reputed gang member was out to avenge the murder of his father when he opened fire at a group of teenagers walking in rival territory, fatally wounding a 14-year-old boy Sunday afternoon in the Heart of Chicago neighborhood, Cook County prosecutors said today.
Javier Garza, 17, flashed gang signs at a group of teenagers before jumping out a minivan and firing four shots, striking Michael Orozco three times in the back in the 2200 block of South Leavitt Street, prosecutors said. A 13-year-old girl walking with Orozco suffered a graze wound on her right leg.
A judge ordered Javier Garza held without bond on the first-degree murder charge, while co-defendant Damien Garza, the alleged getaway driver, was given a $1 million bond.
The two suspects, both reputed Latin Saints, drove into Satan Disciple territory to kill a rival as payback for the death of Javier Garza's father, prosecutors said. Prosecutors did not disclose the father's name or when he was killed.
A witness in the area of the shooting was able to take down the license plate of the minivan and called 911 with the information. Police officers spotted the green minivan speeding east on Cermak Road and gave chase before the van crashed. The two suspects were arrested within minutes of the shooting.
Officers found a loaded .45-caliber handgun behind the driver's seat of the minivan, prosecutors said. At the shooting scene, investigators found four .45 caliber cartridge casings and five bullet fragments. The minivan and the suspects were identified by the witnesses at the scene, according to a police report.
Multiple witnesses identified Javier Garza, of the 2900 block of North 75th Court in Elmwood Park, as the gunman and Damien Garza, of the 4500 block of South Wood Street, as the driver of the green minivan, according to prosecutors.
A third person taken into custody was released without charges, police said.
Prosecutors said Damien Garza admitted to detectives that he and Javier Garza were driving around Satan Disciple territory and that he knew that Javier Garza was planning to shoot a rival gang member as payback for his father's death. He also identified the gun recovered by police as the weapon used by Javier Garza in the slaying, prosecutors said.
Damien Garza is on two years probation after being charged with violating the terms of electronic monitoring in 2012, according to court records. Previously, he was found not guilty in a 2012 felony drug possession case. He was found guilty in a 2011 domestic battery case and sentenced to serve 150 days in jail, as well as having an order of protection entered against him.
The day of his killing, Michael had told his mother, Marisol Martinez, "I'll be back later," Martinez recalled Monday. He went to meet up with a few friends around 3 p.m. near their West Side home. "I was going to order pizza (for him)" later, she said.
The freshman at Instituto Health Sciences Career Academy was gunned down about 90 minutes later. He was shot in the chest and pronounced dead just before 5 p.m. at Mount Sinai Hospital. One of the two teen girls suffered a graze wound to her leg but refused medical treatment.
The area was the scene of violence last year. In May, two men in their 20s were fatally shot in the same block as Michael, while two teenage girls were wounded in a drive-by shooting in the 2300 block of SouthLeavitt Avenue in December.
Police said Michael was affiliated with a gang and that the three taken into custody were rival gang members. But his mother vehemently disputed that her son was in a gang.
According to his mother, Michael, the middle of three children, loved soccer, was meticulous about his appearance and liked to flirt with girls. An avid White Sox fan, he teased his older brother for liking the Cubs.
"You had all the girls after him," his mother said with a slight chuckle as she sat on a living room couch beneath a number of photos of her son on the wall. "You'd see them all (in front) waiting for him. And Michael would take his time, like an hour or two, getting ready. And I'm like, 'Michael, hurry up. ... ' And they would wait."

"Let me turn this GPS thingy on. Okay, I got the signal. Wait, I lost it. No, wait, there he is. Wait, gone again. Okay, I know exactly where he is."
Lawrence Blatt
's new album
Longitudes & Latitudes
has GPS coordinates on every track title, but the question really isn't where, but why. Why are these reference point important? Because for contemporary guitarist Lawrence Blatt, every place is a memory. On Lawrence's 15 track collection of masterful guitar music, every memory is an experience.
Take the first track,
Two Shades of Sunshine
. The coordinates designate a little town on the island of Maui called Makawao nestled on the slopes of a long sleeping volcano called Haleakala. It is the home of pineapples, paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys) and traditions that go back a hundred years. Lawrence's opening tune is nothing but sun and fun. The music invites you to climb the mountain and greet the sunrise.
The title tune
Longitudes & Latitudes
has no numbers, but it appeals to everyone everywhere. It beckons you to explore on your own and challenges you to go over the horizon, explore the next few miles, and go around that corner.
Kelly Park
's piano and Lawrence's guitar make good partners on this one.
I can only imagine that someone fell in love in Florence, Italy by the music in
A Place in Your Heart
. The throaty sound of the guitar,
Sam Bevan
's bass and the faraway sound of the horn suggests a time of musing, a look back at the sweetness of the moment.
Open Fields and Running Water
pinpoints a place just southwest of Shanghai called Huangshan, the Yellow Mountain. Why the song has a Latin beat is yet to be discovered, but the music is celebratory. Flugelhorn master
Jeff Oster
accentuates the composition with his echoing horn and
Jeff Hayes
percussion offer a beat to follow. Say hello to the sea of clouds and goodnight to the sunset.
I take nothing away from Lawrence when I say that
Premik Russell Tubbs
embodies the spirit of the late Chuck Greenburg in the ditty
. The high energy of the lyricon soars with vitality in the tune, making it carefree and uplifting. The numbers point to Indianapolis, Indiana. This spritely tune certainly validates that it is a city of people that embrace the joys of life. It turned out to be my favorite on the album.
There is no doubt that you are somewhere in Spain when you hear the tune
Noches de Barcelona
. Layers of horn and sax, heart throbbing tempo, and silky guitar come together to accentuate every twinkling star in that Iberian sky. A little bit of animated piano by
Kori Linae Carothers
round out the tune nicely. Everybody has a good time on this song.
Flying Over Ellis Island
starts out with a soft voice, a shy greeting, but then when everyone realizes what they have in common, the tune turns into a swing tune. You gotta love that. Reminds me of the one of the Penguin Café ventures, but oh what fun. My shoulders were actually shimmying when I listened to this. It is as if Lawrence took samples of the commonality of music from all over the world and brought it together for this one tune. Welcome to America!
There is usually something happy and playful about the ukulele, but when Lawrence uses it, the sound becomes soft, refined and longing. The tune
Over the Rainbow
is the closing track and it has a lonesome sense of yearning. We all have our rainbows or our dreams. We must never give them up. I equate Over the Rainbow with Hawaii. It will always be my "Oz" a place to which I long to return. For Lawrence it is ...wait for it, Lawrence, Kansas. The irony is neither lost, nor misplaced.
I invite you to join Lawrence Blatt, his intrepid guitar and the gang as they highlight places you always dreamed of, but never had the courage to venture to. He hits London, Paris, California and other places in the U.S. His music is onomatopoeiac, it sounds like where he is. With every deftly produced and emotionally rich song, it is where you will want to be as well.
Rating: Excellent

What's going on @ Gamescom 2012, well for starters Sony is doing what they left off doing at E3, showing brand new exclusive titles for their PS3 and PS Vita. With new titles being shown such as KILLZONE Mercenary, TearAway, Until Dawn, and RAIN just to name a few we're excited for Sony's new lineup of titles. Is it me or was Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified a visual car wreck on the PS Vita? We discuss the underwhelming new trailer shown at Sony's Gamescom press conference in much detail.
have you ever EVER!! ...seen a game trailer that did a game justice on the graphics tip? i haven't and i see them in FULL HD.
I know it was a trailer bit they cannot screw this up. It cannot simply be a generic fps with a cod logo. This game could sell a ton of hardware but I fear it won't live up.
The graphics don't bother me. It's the 4v4 that does. Should be more.
In the end i fear Nihilistic didnt have enough time as they were making Resistance BS and COD BO Declassified. Lets still give them a chance, you never know it could be better than expected (Expectations are low as of this moment) .

Campaigners in Swamwick may be downhearted about losing the battle over the crematorium plan, but in this picture from the 1980s they appear to be celebrating success.
The placards tell us they were fighting to save fields – perhaps it was a homes plan?
It certainly looks like many villagers were involved in the fight.
Protesters from Swanwick have been fighting the scheme to build a crematorium, but it was given the go ahead after an appeal late last year.

Contenders for the 5th Middlesex state Senate seat continue to battle over social issues, such as a women�s rights and marriage equality, less than two weeks from the election.
The campaign for Rep. Jason Lewis, D-Winchester, has not shied away from criticizing Melrose Alderman-at-Large Monica Medeiros, the Republican candidate, on her beliefs on social issues � which he claims are not representative of residents in the district.
In a press release issued on March 4, following Lewis� win in the primary, campaign manager Suzanne Schlossberg wrote that Medeiros "has been praised by the most extreme anti-equality and anti-choice organizations in the northeast. She�s supported the Tea Party movement and helped dictate the Republican Platform�s extreme agenda items."
"Our concern is that many of my opponent�s views are, frankly, out of the mainstream of the residents of the 5th Middlesex District � her views on women�s health, her views on gay rights," Lewis told the Melrose Free Press this week. "It makes it difficult to bring people together to achieve the results and the progress that the residents of our communities expect from their respective leaders."
Medeiros argues Lewis� claims are misleading and are a ploy to move the focus from issues that matter.
"I believe Jason Lewis is trying�to distract from his record on taxes and spending," she said. "His policies have hurt families, because they�re taking more and more money away from them. Even people who are Democrats are upset with his characterization of me. I hope the voters will reject his tactics."
Schlossberg provided the Melrose Free Press with background information from online sources to support the campaign�s statements about Medeiros.
"We�re being very careful to make sure we are as accurate as possible � by saying she has been endorsed by anti-gay, anti-choice organizations � that we haven�t crossed any truth boundaries here," Schlossberg said.
Lewis and Medeiros will face off at the polls on April 1 to replace former state Sen. Katherine Clark, who was elected to Congress earlier this year.
Equal rights issues
Schlossberg pointed out Medeiros received support from MassResistance, a pro-family activist group that promotes socially conservative views on issues like same-sex marriage, abortion and the transgender community.
"She�s been praised and has gotten the endorsement from anti-equality and anti-choice organizations, including MassResistance," Schlossberg said.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a civil rights advocacy organization, lists MassResistance as an anti-gay group.
During Medeiros� run for state representative in 2010, MassResistance claimed the Melrosian was "completely with us on the issues" in an online post.
Medeiros said she�s never spoken to MassResistance during any of her campaigns.
"I never responded to any kind of questionnaire or had any type of questionnaire with them," she said. "I have not had any kind of communication with them on this issue."
The Melrose resident said she is pro-life and in favor of traditional marriage. While she has not focused her campaign on these issues, Medeiros said people should be able to express their own opinions and values.
"I think my record of service in the city hasn�t in any way discriminated against anyone for any reason, but I�m entitled to have my own religious beliefs," she added. "We should be able to have diversity of opinion without being vilified. That�s not tolerant."
Lewis, who is pro-choice and supports marriage equality and transgender equal rights, reiterated that Medeiros� views would hinder her ability to serve constituents.
"That�s been brought to me by many people, many people across all of the communities," he said. "Those are views that they are deeply concerned about. In the end, I think it will be difficult to represent all of the families in the district."
Medeiros countered that many residents share her values, adding that given the low turnout for the primary, Lewis doesn�t necessarily reflect the majority of voters.
"I don�t think that he represents the values of the district," she said.
Tea Party/Republican platform
The Lewis campaign stated Medeiros is a supporter of the Tea Party movement, which calls for a reduction in government spending and restricting tax increases.
Medeiros said she supports the Constitution of the United States and can sympathize with the overall message behind the movement.
"Their motto has become �taxed enough already,�" she said. "Do I agree with that? Yeah, I do, and I think a lot of people in Massachusetts agree with that. I think people want a well-run government that operates within its means. They don�t necessarily feel like they�re getting that."
She pointed to rising health insurance premiums and fuel expenses as examples of costs that are taking a toll on residents.
"I think people want their freedom protected," Medeiros added. "There�s only so much they can give, and they�re not necessarily getting higher salaries."
The Lewis campaign also claims that because Medeiros served on the Massachusetts Republican Party Platform Committee in 2010, she has participated in shaping the party�s "extreme agenda items."
"Although she was not part of the committee [during the past few years], the past agenda regressed in terms of positions that are settled law: marriage equality and pro-choice opposition for women," Schlossberg said. "She has been part of the party movement�that indicates a level of adherence to a party platform that no longer represents the values of the district."
Medeiros said the platform in 2010 did not include any references to abortion or same-sex marriage.
"The platform that is out now that came from the platform committee, I had absolutely nothing to do with, and I believe Mr. Lewis knows that," she said.
Over the past week the Jason Lewis campaign announced endorsements from Congresswoman Katherine Clark (D-Melrose), State Rep. Paul Brodeur (D � Melrose), State Rep. Paul Donato (D � Medford), State Rep. Jim Dwyer (D � Woburn) and former Wakefield School Committee member and candidate for State Senate Anthony Guardia.
Over the past week the Monica Medeiros campaign announced an endorsement from the Melrose Firefighter Executive Board of Local 1617.

Gonzalo Higuain is confident Jose Mourinho will not leave Real Madrid any time soon amid rumours he could be on his way out of the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Portuguese was recently jeered by the Madrid faithful following his decision to drop club icon Iker Casillas from the starting XI, and the 49-year-old's future at the club appears to now be in doubt.
Nevertheless, Higuain has little doubt that his boss will not go anywhere as he still has an ongoing contract with Madrid.
"Mourinho is still Real Madrid's coach and he remains under contract here. I think that he will stay at Madrid," Higuain said at a press conference.
"Everybody's united at Madrid. We all support Mourinho and he backs the team, too."
The Argentine attacker then went on to dismiss reports that he could leave the club himself and stressed his determination to hit top form again after returning from injury.
"I ignore all the rumours about my future. I am completely focused on Real Madrid," he insisted.
"I hope to start scoring again as soon as possible, but the most important thing for me is to feel physically well again."
Higuain has netted seven goals in 11 Liga appearances this term.

Don't I feel clever …
yep, it's Kool-Aid dyed yarn. So much fun! I didn't think it would work, that I would rinse the yarn and watch the color slide down the drain, but so far the color is holding. Amazing what 6 minutes in the microwave will do. Did I mention how much fun it was?
I used 2 balls of Patons merino in natural; since I don't have a nifty skein doodad (what's it called?) I just used a piece of cardboard. Kind of messy, but it worked. Then I carefully selected my Kool-Aid colors (provided by Wegman's 8/$2.00).
Arctic Green Apple, Pink Lemonade, and Grape. I just followed the knitty instructions … voila! Almost instant candy colors.
My mini-porch has never been put to better use. Here's skein #2:
I'll admit I didn't do a great job getting the yarn fully coated; there are some "natural" spots, especially at the top where I tied my "skeins". And the grape got a bit out of hand — I wanted more green. But it was still great fun.
And in other news: my first non-twisted stitch project has been begun. It's the Halfobi pattern at chiagu.com in Noro Kureyon.
This is the right arm and the very first few rows of the body. So far, not twisted. The stitches really do look much nicer. And I feel so proud every time I look down and see my finger wrapping counterclockwise.

Standing pat, Giants banking on Belt, Pagan
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' best Trade Deadline acquisitions will have to come not from another team, but from their own disabled list.
And help is on the way, they hope. The hope, general manager Brian Sabean said, is that both first baseman Brandon Belt (concussion) and center fielder Angel Pagan (back injury) rejoin the team during its 10-game road trip that begins Friday in New York.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants' best Trade Deadline acquisitions will have to come not from another team, but from their own disabled list.
And help is on the way, they hope. The hope, general manager Brian Sabean said, is that both first baseman Brandon Belt (concussion) and center fielder Angel Pagan (back injury) rejoin the team during its 10-game road trip that begins Friday in New York.
As the Deadline passed Thursday afternoon, Sabean couldn't quite find the right fit with another team to obtain an offensively proven second baseman to strengthen the lineup, nor could they add an outfielder to provide depth in case Pagan encounters roadblocks in his recovery from a back injury.
Sabean indicated that teams' asking prices were too high.
"I feel as good about not getting something done as any year we've done something," he said. "There were bad moves on our end to be made, and we certainly weren't going to do that."
So unless a player slips through waivers who Sabean covets -- as was the case in August 2010, when outfielder Cody Ross joined the club -- the Giants must rely on their current roster to try to overtake the National League West-leading Dodgers. Welcoming back a healthy Belt and Pagan will be essential for the Giants in their bid to reduce the Dodgers' lead, which stood at three games entering Thursday.
That was the numerical difference between the Giants and Dodgers. In real terms, the Giants' ongoing struggles -- as manifested in their 16-29 record since June 9 -- have left Sabean wondering exactly how competitive the Giants can be.
"I don't know how close we are; we haven't played too well," he said with typical candor on a post-Deadline conference call with reporters. "I know we were missing some people, and I know that the long Philly series probably took a lot of energy out of us, and the Dodgers had a day off and we were playing them without our front-line pitching, but the look of it wasn't very good.
"I don't know how close we are, both to winning the division or even being right there for a Wild Card."
Sabean said trade talks were specific to fixing their offense, particularly second base, since the last-ditch Dan Uggla move appears to be unsuccessful. Sabean confirmed that Uggla is still on the roster, but did not travel with the team to New York and is contemplating whether he wants to return to Triple-A Fresno. A corresponding roster move will be made on Friday.
So, who's going to play second base?
"It's going to be a work in progress," Sabean said. "Might be series to series."
Marco Scutaro is on the 15-day disabled list with a highly troublesome back. Joe Panik has been unspectacular since his June callup. Perhaps Double-A middle infielder Matt Duffy, the team's No. 18-ranked prospect who is hitting .332 in 367 at-bats for Richmond, will get the next shot?
The Giants reportedly coveted Emilio Bonifacio, 29, for his ability to play both infield and outfield. He thus could have strengthened not only second base but also the outfield in case Pagan's return from back pain stalled. Instead, the Cubs dealt him and James Russell to the Braves for catching prospect Victor Caratini, who was a second-round pick of the Braves in 2013, hitting .279 with five home runs, 42 RBIs in 87 games for Class A Rome.
Sabean said the team will be active during the waiver process, both in signing players and blocking other teams (see: Dodgers) from acquisitions.
But after not mortgaging the farm, it's two horses that have been at sickbay the Giants are tying their playoff hopes to.
"Our biggest barometer is going to be when we get our two players back, to see how we flip the switch then," Sabean said.

CHICAGO — An exhibit of photos, artwork and objects of meaning to military service members will go on display next month at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
The exhibit, titled "The Things We Carried," was curated by student veterans at the university who collected objects from service members from their time on deployment.
The items include helmets, backpacks, uniforms, pocket bibles and camouflage netting. Some of those offering objects for display said they held symbolic meaning to them.
The exhibit is inspired by a 1990 book by Tim O'Briens called "The Things They Carried," a collection of stories about a platoon of American soldiers during the Vietnam War.
It will open Nov. 11 at UIC's African-American Cultural Center. It runs through Nov. 15, and admission is free.

Smart Appliances
It used to be that people welcomed appliances that had more features and were more automatic than their predecessors. The automatic toaster, for example, was introduced in the 1920s and saved countless pieces of bread from burning. Everyone welcomed the automatic washing machine, which was introduced in the 1930s and moved by itself from one cycle to the next. Another advance was the clothes drier with a timer, and then better yet, the model with a sensor that detected when the clothes were dry.
In the 1920s, when families gathered around and tuned in a radio, they risked "blasting," which occurred when they dialed in to a local or especially powerful station. Harold Wheeler's invention of automatic volume control, implemented in 1930 on the Philco 95, solved this problem. On car radios, buttons for pre-set tuning meant fewer distractions for drivers. And in recent years, appliances such as bread machines and rice cookers often come with extremely sophisticated, microprocessor-based controls — and in the case of some rice cookers, even involving fuzzy logic.
But as appliances gained more features and did more things by themselves, problems arose. These problems have served as a rich source of comedy for filmmakers. In "Mon Oncle" (1958), for example, Jacques Tati shows a modern kitchen, with automatic appliances and automatic cabinet doors, going out of control. In Woody Allen's "Bananas" (1971), Fielding Mellish gets manhandled by the Execusizer, an exercise machine for the office worker. In "Return of the Pink Panther" (1974), Inspector Clouseau struggles to control a vacuum cleaner. And the powered chairs of Dr. Evil and Mini Me in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) seem to have minds of their own.
In addition to having an appliance that does things we don't want it to do, devices that have so many features that we can't figure out how to use them create problems of their own. Sports watches may have a dozen capabilities — count down, count up, lap timing, pacer, alarms, dual time zone readings — yet often get used only to tell what time it is in a single zone. Most home entertainment systems have several remote controls, making it difficult to figure out how to do something as simple as turn down the volume. This is exactly the problem parodied in the movie "The Mirror Has Two Faces" (1996).
VCRs are notoriously difficult to figure out. In "City Slickers" (1991), an hours-long effort to explain how to program a VCR helps pass the time on the cattle drive. This joke is repeated in "City Slickers II" (1994). Something similar occurs in "Excess Baggage" (1997), when one of the characters tries to explain over the telephone how to program a VCR. And in "Spy Hard" (1996), fun is made of the difficulty of simply viewing a videotape ("Set it to Channel 3…Switch off cable…" and so on).
Of course, problems associated with "smart" technologies have not gone unnoticed in print media. Humor columnist Dave Barry wrote: "And now the appliance manufacturers want to give us even more features. Do you know what this means? It means that that some night you'll open the door of your "smart" refrigerator, looking for a beer, and you'll hear a pleasant, cheerful voice ... telling you: Your celery is limp. And if you want to make the refrigerator stop, you'll have to decipher owner's manual instructions: To disable the produce crispness monitoring feature, enter the command mode, then select the edit function, then select 'change vegetable defaults'…
Such parodies don't seem much different from the actual problems — and ultimate remedies — many of us encounter regularly in this age of "smart" technology.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After capturing its second straight New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) tournament title, the MIT men's basketball team had three athletes selected to the first team all-conference, as announced on Wednesday. Senior Noel Hollingsworth (Salt Lake City, Utah) and juniors Mitchell Kates (Colts Neck, N.J.) and Will Tashman (Atherton, Calif.) were all named to the first team, the most selections of any team in the league. Head Coach Larry Anderson was also named the NEWMAC Coach of the Year.
Hollingsworth, who was the conference Player of the Year in 2010, garnered his second first team nod. The senior big man leads the team and is second in the league in scoring, averaging 17.0 points per game. He is also shooting a conference-best 55.1% from the field and is third in rebounds at 6.7 per game.
Kates, who has been a second team honoree in each of his first two seasons at MIT, is MIT's second-leading scorer at 13.2 per game. He leads the league in assists and steals and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NEWMAC tournament on Sunday, thanks in part to his 24-point performance in the conference championship game.
Tashman earns his second straight first team all-conference selection, after averaging 11.4 points and 9.2 rebounds a game as a junior. Tashman is the NEWMAC's leading rebounder and has the most assists among frontcourt players in the conference.
The Coach of the Year distinction is the third for Anderson in his career. He was first recognized in 2006 and again in 2009.
Alex Berthiaume of Springfield was selected as the NEWMAC Athlete of the Year and was also named to the first team. WPI's Matt Carr was the fifth and final first team pick.
The Engineers will travel to Hartwick College on Friday for the opening round of the NCAA Division III tournament. Tech will face Skidmore College (19-8) in the first round at 5:30 p.m. The Cardinal and Gray has earned four straight trips to the NCAA tournament, winning first round games in two of the past three seasons.

Jasmine is going from Clarkson into the world of fashion.
"It's a good fit. This is a good place to be a dreamer."
On a campus teeming with "practical people"—as she calls Clarkson's science and business majors—she says, "I can tell people to think differently. Step outside the box. And when I start dreaming a little crazy, they tell me to focus, to sort of step back in the box."
At first, Jasmine was a business major.
"Clarkson gave me a lot of technical knowledge, which turned out to be really helpful. But by my second year, the business path didn't feel like it was taking me in the direction I ultimately wanted to go."
By this point, she discovered she wanted to work in fashion and started talking with faculty members about classes and a degree that would give her a little traction on the mean streets of New York's Garment District.
It worked.
Over the spring and summer, she interned with Lancome, Fashion Closet at Allure magazine and Bb (that's Bumble and Bumble, the house of fashion devoted to hair style).
Jasmine admits that, at times, it was difficult.
"That Devil Wears Prada stuff is totally true. At one point, an editor pulled me aside and said, 'Do you know how many people would kill to have this internship?' So I had to move faster and get way more organized."
She says this is where her early business courses really paid off.
"I started drawing on all the things I'd learned at Clarkson, especially that technical knowledge of how businesses work—and how business people think."
And she admits all her writing assignments helped, too.
"All of it just gave me confidence. Internships can be tough. In the City, lots of people think of them as just paying dues. But I had a little different experience. I had to learn to be humble, but I also had to know—on the spot—when I should assert myself. By the end of the summer, I had earned a lot of respect. Clarkson has to get some of the credit for that."
So what's next? Jasmine has a few specific goals. She wants her own line of clothing. She wants a successful fashion blog (and she's well on her way with creeperchic.blogspot.com). And she wants people to know that Clarkson can help launch a career in fashion.
"I want to influence Clarkson students to explore," she says. "After all, there are lots of engineers and scientists in beauty and fashion."
And once Jasmine has built her own house of style, she'll lead more Golden Knights into the industry.
As she puts it, "Leave it to me to make Clarkson look good."

Toledo is one of Spain's World Heritage cities, and is an example of the peaceful coexistence throughout history of such diverse elements as the Jewish, the Christian and Muslim cultures. The city is a veritable open-air museum.
Toledo Cathedral
Standing on a promontory over the River Tagus, the historic city of Toledo awaits you. Its old town, with over a hundred monuments representing nearly all the artistic styles, is a unique "urban museum" with UNESCO World Heritage status.
Toledo is a unique city. Over 2,000 years old, it is a symbol of the meeting of cultures. Its old town in particular is a faithful reflection of this spirit: churches and buildings of the most varied architectural styles - Arabic, Mudejar, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance... - stand side by side, forming a stunning set of monuments. This city in Castile- La Mancha is located in the centre of Spain, some 70 kilometres from Madrid or just 30 minutes by high-speed train.
A labyrinth of art
You will soon realise that "getting lost" in the streets of Toledo is a genuine piece of luck. Take your time to stroll through them at a leisurely pace and discover one of the richest monumental heritages in Europe. Synagogues, mosques, palaces, convents… The list of places of interest is a long one, comprising over a hundred monuments.
You can get to the old town via one of the numerous gates in the city walls, such as the Puerta del Sol, the Alcántara Gate or the Bisagra Gate. During your visit to the old town, be sure not to miss the Cathedral, an extraordinary work of architecture that merits an unhurried visit: the Mudejar ornamentation, the choir stalls, the wrought-ironwork, the sacristy - a genuine museum of painting with works by artists such as El Greco, Raphael, Titian and Goya - and the Treasure Room where the magnificent gold and silver Monstrance used in the Corpus Christi procession is displayed, are some of the most outstanding features.
A thousand and one routes
In addition to the Cathedral, Toledo offers many other places of interest. Did you know that the nine vaults in the Cristo de la Luz Mosque originally came from theGreat Mosque of Cordoba? And then there are the synagogues of Santa María la Blanca and El Tránsito, the latter housing the Sefardi Museum. Visit the Alcázar fortress for an impressive view from the highest point of the city.
You will also be delighted by the Church of Santiago del Arrabal, a superb example of Mudejar art; the Fuensalida Palace, which dates to the early 15th century; the Tavera Hospital, a large Renaissance building with paintings by Titian, El Greco and Ribera; and the Church of Santo Tomé, where you can admire another painting by El Greco, The Burial of Count Orgaz. However, all these are just a few examples of the numerous monuments in Toldeo: to make sure you don't miss anything, call in at any Tourist Office. Similarly, at the Historic Toledo Visitors Centre located in the Church of San Marcos you can obtain information on the city and its history, and plan your own route in an enjoyable and fun way through the various audiovisuals and interactive activities. Come to Toledo and enjoy art and culture in Spain.

Why did you join Laerdal?
It has always been important for me to work with issues that matter. I had good friends working there and was aware they had a very competent design team. I was also impressed by the way research results are integrated with the product development process, for instance through the close ties with the SAFER simulation centre.
What is the best thing about working here?
First of all, the atmosphere here is great! I enjoy teamwork very much, and appreciate having many highly qualified colleagues with expertise in different fields. I get to know many people that utilize our solutions and it is inspiring to see that our work plays an important role in helping save lives around the world. I think the combination of having good communication with end users and experts and a capability to develop an idea all the way into a finished product makes an excellent platform for innovation.
Describe a typical day at work
As an industrial designer, I feel that I have a special responsibility making sure that we develop solutions that meet real needs. In my development team we spend much time working with practical problem solving around evolving prototypes that support discussions with experts and end users. The best moments are when these discussions and experiments lead to new understanding and new ideas!

The Vertex 2-Bike hitch rack carries your bikes safely and easily thanks to Thule's Hold-Fast cradles that provide a secure fit and prevent bike-to-bike contact. Its higher mast and arced design give you greater ground clearance for peace of mind on bumpy roads. For added security, the Vertex packs a heavy-duty, hide-away cable lock. Plus, the arms fold down for storage when not in use, and the whole rack tilts out of the way for easy vehicle access.

Best Uses
Recently purchased this bike rack for my truck. Love it so far. Heavy duty, installs easily, and folds up easily. Also really like the integrated cable lock. I also purchased the locking pin kit, which the shop fitted to use the same key as the cable lock on the rack itself. The only suggestion is to make sure when installed the receiver pin to crank it down really tight b/c it will work it's way loose.
Best Uses
Well worth the price. This rack will hold your bikes as well as protect them. No swinging, twisting or hitting against each other. This unit is stable and rattle free. Folds up when not in use and can be easily removed and stored in the trunk. Bikes and rack make no contact with the car so no scratches to either.

ETSU will aim to replicate last season's win inside UNF Arena
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 31, 2014) – Following facing the Jacksonville Dolphins short-handed in a 73-56 loss on Thursday, the ETSU women's basketball team will face another River City squad in the North Florida Ospreys on Saturday at 4:30 p.m. inside UNF Arena.
Approaching the half-way point of Atlantic Sun play, the Buccaneers will look to overcome some adversity and get back on track Saturday against UNF. The Blue and Gold faces the Ospreys after playing undermanned against a good Jacksonville squad in a 73-56 loss on Thursday evening inside Veterans Memorial Arena. Playing without three veteran players, the short-handed ETSU Buccaneers put forth a valiant effort but eventually succumbed to JU's depth. In the first half against the Dolphins, the Bucs faced a nine-point deficit but fought back to pull within five points, 37-32, going into halftime.
In the second half, ETSU really struggled to put the ball in the basket and had trouble dealing with Jacksonville's pressure defense with its limited depth. In the end, the Blue and Gold could not find enough to supplement for its lack of key players as it fell, 73-56. The Bucs were led by 12 points from Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.), while Serena Clark (Stone Mountain, Ga.) notched her seventh double-double of the season with 10 points and a career-high tying 16 rebounds.
ETSU (6-13, 2-6) will face North Florida (5-14, 1-7) a bit shorthanded once again. The Bucs will again be without senior guard Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.), who recently suffered a hand injury, as well as junior forward Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) who did not make the trip to Jacksonville due to a head coach's decision. The status of ETSU's leading scoring Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.) is yet to be determined.
The Bucs and the Ospreys will square off Saturday in the 17th all-time meeting between the two schools; a series that ETSU leads, 11-5. The two teams split both meetings last season with the most recent matchup being a 65-60 ETSU win inside UNF Arena on Feb. 25.
For more on Saturday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
Game Notes
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach. Brittney Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Supporting Mitchell are juniors Serena Clark and Cara Bowling who each averaged 9.5 points per game last season.
As a result of a leg injury suffered in the first regular season game of the season at Memphis on Nov. 8, senior forward Destiny Mitchell will miss the remainder of the 2013-14 campaign. Mitchell will undergo surgery and continue injury rehabilitation while the ETSU compliance department petitions for a medical redshirt to have the forward cleared to participate in 2014-15.
On Feb. 25, 2013, inside UNF Arena in Jacksonville, ETSU surged ahead to take a 20-7 advantage with 10:30 remaining in the first half. The Bucs's momentum continued throughout the period as the Blue and Gold headed into halftime with a 33-22 lead. ETSU started the second half much like it ended the first with energy which pushed its lead to 14 at the 13:38 mark. North Florida refused to go away lightly though on its home floor and managed to reduce the Bucs' advantage. With the Ospreys nipping at the Blue and Gold's heels down the stretch, guard Cara Bowling buried two monstrous three pointers that allowed ETSU to hold on to its lead. Late free throws from the Bucs also allowed the Blue and Gold to hang on for a 65-60 victory. Bowling carried ETSU to victory with a then career-high 21 points and a current career-best five made three pointers. Maria Bond and Tiana Burley added 11 and 10 points, respectively.
Junior forward Serena Clark has started 2013-14 off strong, scoring in double-figures in 11 of the 19 games this season. After falling just one rebound short of a double-double in the season opener at Memphis (11/8), the native Georgian reeled off four-consecutive double-doubles for ETSU in games from Nov. 12th - 29th including a career-high 21 points and 11 rebounds in a 82-65 win against Alabama A&M (11/29). The junior's most recent double-double came in a loss at Jacksonville (1/30) where she posted 10 points and a career-high tying 16 rebounds. Clark has now exceeded her double-double total from last season just 19 games into the 2013-14 campaign with seven this season and is poised for more throughout the year. The forward's 10.5 points per game currently ranks among the top-20 in the A-Sun, while her 10.5 boards per game is tied for second in the league.
Junior guard Cara Bowling is currently the leading scorer on the team with 12.7 points per game during the 2013-14 season. Presently, this point total per game is 13th in the A-Sun while her 2.0 three-point field goal makes per game is fourth in the league. The Elizabethton native posted a career-high 22 points vs. Saint Francis (Pa.) (11/24) including four makes from behind the arc.
Sophomore guard Chandler Christopher has proved to be a valuable piece for the Bucs during the 2013-14 season. After spending the entirety of the 2012-13 campaign as a seldom-used freshman walk-on, first-year head coach Brittney Ezell liked what she saw from Christopher and decided to elevate the Greeneville native from walk-on to scholarship status prior to this season. Christopher has since recorded her first-career starts in 17 of the 19 games this season and has been a vital cog for the Blue and Gold. After netting two points, five rebounds and three assists in the opener at Memphis (11/8), the guard followed with career-highs of 17 points and four assists in an also career-best 37 minutes played in ETSU's 81-72 win at Appalachian State (11/12). Christopher's performance in the Bucs' first win of the season at App State led to her being named A-Sun Player of the Week by College Sports Madness on Monday, Nov. 18. The sophomore then added another team-leading scoring performance to her résumé with 15 points in a 77-69 loss to Morehead State on Nov. 21. In an 87-76 win versus George Mason on Dec. 28, Christopher tallied a career-high tying 17 points including a career-best five makes from three-point land. In her first game off of the bench this season, the guard notched her first-career double-double with 14 points and a career-best 14 rebounds in a 74-68 win versus Kennesaw State (1/23).
Freshman Shamauria Bridges has been a great offensive boost for the Bucs during the 2013-14 season. The rookie guard is averaging 6.8 points per game in 20 minutes of play and has demonstrated the ability to knock down shots from the perimeter. The Florida native has knocked down a trio of triples in three different games this season with the most recent performance coming on Jan. 25 versus Mercer. In her first career start, Bridges led the Bucs with a career-best 19 points in a 74-68 win against Kennesaw State on Jan. 23.
Sophomore Brianna McQueen has been a strong lead guard for the Bucs during the 2013-14 season. Using her quickness, the Georgia native is averaging a solid 11.7 points per game at the point guard position and is also getting her teammates involved with 3.7 assists per game. This assist mark ranks fifth in the Atlantic Sun and will need to continue to keep ETSU's offense near the top of the conference.
Through 19 games during the 2013-14 season, ETSU is currently averaging 68.2 points per game which is second in the A-Sun. With the 68.2 points per game also come successes in field goal percentage, where the Bucs are second in the league at 41 percent, and in three-point field goal percentage, where ETSU is third in the conference at 32 percent.
After averaging 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per game in 26 games and six starts in 2012-13, junior forward Maria Bond has proved to be a force in the interior during the 2013-14 campaign. The native Georgian has started 17 games this season and is currently averaging 10.3 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Bond posted a season-high 18 points in a 75-67 win versus Indiana State (12/18) and remains a vital piece in ETSU's paint production going forward.
Since the 2002-03 season the Bucs are 111-20 when the they hit the 75-point plateau, including 80-15 since the 2006-07 season. In the early portion of the 2013-14 conference season, ETSU put up 78 to defeat Lipscomb (1/2), 78-75, to earn the 111th such victory.
The Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Buccaneers have averaged double-digit conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 107-52 (.672) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Bucs have also won 87 of their last 129 games against conference foes (includes A-Sun Championship games).
The Atlantic Sun coaches picked the Bucs to finish tied with North Florida at fifth, while in the media poll ETSU was selected seventh ... the coaches picked FGCU with seven first-place votes to win the conference, while the media selected FGCU with 30 first-place votes ... the Bucs finished the 2012-13 season in eighth.

Ricky Gervais is bringing back David Brent for a one-off Comic Relief special.
Viewers will see the star's famous alter ego from breakthrough hit The Office try to become a Simon Cowell-type music mogul in the show.
The Slough manager, famous for his "Fact" catchphrase and crazy dance moves, will be seen attempting to break urban act Dom Johnson in The Office Revisited.
Viewers last saw Brent in two Office Christmas Specials in December 2003.
Ricky told The Sun: "I thought it was time to revisit my most famous comedy creation to find out what he's been up to for the last decade and, most importantly, what he's up to now.
"He is passing on his wisdom to younger would-be rock stars now. Well, really he is trying to worm his way back into rock and roll."
The Office Revisited, made as part of BBC Comic Relief, airs on March 15.

Even when they try, big banks can't seem to get it right these days.
The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, which characterizes itself as "the only independent watchdog of institutional philanthropy," has issued a highly critical report on the performance of the corporate foundations of Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase.
The report said only one megabank foundation had exceeded the financial industry median for quantitative philanthropic generosity of 0.13% between 2006 and 2010.
The giving of Bank of America, at 0.15%, and Wells Fargo, at 0.12%, was "mediocre," it said. JPMorgan Chase's, at 0.08%, was "disappointing"; and Goldman Sachs's, at 0.03%, was "miserly."
The median was developed by the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy based on surveys of some 150 corporations, including Fortune 500 heavyweights.
The NCRP report faulted the bank foundations for failing to meet best-practices goals for minimum benchmark grants to lower-income and other underserved communities, for advocacy, for general operating support and for multiyear grants.
The report also criticized the megabank foundations for poor transparency and verifiability for failing to say exactly which charities received grants. "Thus, the grantmaking of all four banks suffers from the same lack of transparency that afflicts most corporate philanthropy."
In terms of grantmaking process, NCRP gave all the foundations a good grade for board governance, but said they all were substandard in terms of transparency and philanthropic codes of conduct.
NCRP explained its gloves-off scrutiny of megabank foundations. After acknowledging that for-profit corporations are not legally obligated to engage in philanthropy, it said it holds those that do to a lower standard of grantmaking effectiveness than it does nonprofit foundations.
"But the four megabanks invite tougher scrutiny than most corporate grantmakers because of their massive lawbreaking and because their aggressive PR campaigns to repair their public reputations boast generous and effective philanthropy," the group said in a statement.
In comments to The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the banks pushed back, disputing the NCRP report's criticisms. Bank of America said some three-fifths of its grantmaking last year went to general support.
JPMorgan Chase said its foundations give more that $200 million a year to worthy causes globally.

This posed photograph of two women at the tea table shows the viewer how "taking tea" in the 19th century was a social ritual that embodied gracious living and gentility. Polite conversation in a parlor or sitting room located the tea ritual out of a workspace such as the kitchen and thus emphasized the leisured gentility of the participants. The well-appointed tea table included a white tablecloth, china or less-expensive ceramic cups, saucers, sugar and cream pitchers, and, of course, a teapot.

Change is all around us. It's in our society, in our technology, in our work, in our home. I think humans have a gene for change wired into their DNA. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have any genes that make dealing with change any easier.
Your business is operating in an environment where new competition starts up seemingly overnight and old markets dry up and fade away. How are you adapting to this change? Are you like water, just going with the flow? Or, are you an island, trying to weather all storms with stoic resolve?
Welland native Anthony Lacavera certainly knows how to create and navigate change. He founded Wind Mobile in 2008 and took on telecom giants Rogers, Bell and Telus. His company was recently sold to Shaw Communications for $1.6 billion.
Niagara Falls business fixture Sunny Halani has shepherded his UPS Store through major changes in the printing industry. The internet has posed a double
challenge to the world of print. Email and PDFs have reduced or replaced (for some) the need to print brochures. The internet has also allowed the
creation and rise of low-cost, DIY services like VistaPrint whose low prices are very appealing. Sunny's built a business based on stellar customer
service, exceptional product quality and of course, his Sunny personality. In a world where print material is often considered a commodity, Sunny's
way of doing business is helping his business thrive.
Wind Mobile's innovations allowed it to prosper. Sunny's UPS Store's success is based on superior customer service and doing the job right. What will be the right approaches for your business to take for it to stand the test of time and stand up to the winds of change?

Step 1:
On your Android phone or tablet, navigate to Settings > Security > Unknown sources. Make sure the box in this setting is checked. This allows you to install apps from unknown sources.
You may want to uncheck this box once you've installed the new Google Play app.
Step 2:
Using your phone or tablet browser, navigate to this link. Tap the green download button. It should be a 5.9MB file, as shown below.
Step 3:
Once the download is complete, simply tap on the downloaded file in the notifications panel on your smartphone or tablet and the app should install as a regular app.
Hit OK and the new Google Play app will be installed. You now have the latest version.
What do you think of the new Google Play Store app? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Boundary bashers will drain you every time
A reader asked: "I have a very good friend who expects me to drop everything when she calls me to do something for her. I find it hard to tell her no even though I am unable to get my stuff done because I am always doing things for her. Even if I tell her no I feel guilty and end up doing it anyway. How can I tell her no without feeling guilty?"
It can be hard to set boundaries with others who are in our lives.
We all have an innate need to be liked by our friends and family. You may never be able to tell her no without feeling guilty; however, the key to managing your guilt is by setting boundaries and keeping those boundaries.
Individuals who are not able to set and maintain boundaries with others often find that it is harder to meet their own needs. Setting boundaries is important in maintaining healthy relationships with friends, family and co-workers. Boundaries can prevent misunderstandings, awkward situations and hurt feelings from damaging your relationships.
When your routine consists of meeting the expectations of others, you may feel uncomfortable setting personal boundaries. However, boundaries simply make others aware of the fact that you need time to rest and refresh yourself. In setting boundaries, you are able to give and do for others those things that you choose. With boundaries in place you have time to pursue your interests, which will only make you a happier person to be around.
Some ways to set boundaries with others include:
• Know how you want to be treated. Growing up we have been taught that being selfish is not good, but I am here to tell you that it is. We all must be selfish at times when dealing with others by setting boundaries. Let others know how you expect to be treated and then follow through with maintaining those boundaries.
• Do not feel the need to give explanations for your boundaries. When you are doing for yourself there is no need for you to explain your needs to others. Offering explanations may give the impression that you don't believe that your wants and needs are important.
• Practice saying no to unreasonable requests. You cannot please everyone all of the time and attempting to do so will only cause you undue stress. Realize no matter what you do or don't do you can't please everyone in your life, the only person you have control of pleasing is yourself.
• Respect other's boundaries. It is important to remember that if you want people to respect your boundaries then you must respect theirs even if you don't agree with them.
Setting boundaries with yourself and others will take time and practice. Don't get discouraged if you fail to keep boundaries you have set. Make note of requests from others that cause you stress and vow to yourself to set a boundary with that person and do your best to enforce it. Keep in mind that if you don't take care of yourself then you are unable to help anyone else.
