Recipe for a Great Spring Day
This spring is making me ridiculously happy, in part because it's the first real spring I've experienced in many, many years. In northern Wisconsin, where I used to live, the ground is covered in snow and ice until April, until it abruptly melts into mud, then bakes in the heat throughout May. "Spring" is what you call the nice couple of weeks that precede the summer heat wave. The weather isn't much better in northwest Indiana.
Boston winter may have sucked, but it's making it up to me with days like yesterday and today: sunny, breezy, and cool. It was so nice yesterday that I decided to go work elsewhere, and took a stroll down to Toscanini's ice cream in Central Square. There is nothing like eating Caramel Delight ice cream for lunch on a weekday morning to make you feel like being a grown-up is everything you thought it would be when you were a kid.
At the risk of seeming like an unprofessional novice, I will say that yesterday also marked the first time I've had two pieces of paid work published on the same day. I could and perhaps should let the occasion pass unremarked, looking on with a cool detachment that says, "This happens to me every day." But the fact is that it does not happen every day, and yesterday's milestone was further proof that I am continuing to move the ball down the field. Such morale boosts are important, especially when there are nothing but deadlines as far the eye can see.
The first piece that went up was my GameShark review of Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943. No reader of this blog will be surprise to find that I gave it a positive review, but I reserved most of my judgments for the review itself. This game would have been in "A" territory easily with a little more polish and a less infuriating interface, but even with the user-unfriendliness that I've come to associate with eastern European PC games, it's a really good wargame. A patch was just released that I haven't had time to play with. Hopefully it addresses some of my complaints.
The other piece that went up is a feature on The Hunter and its moral code that I wrote for The Escapist. I'll definitely have more to say about this game and this piece later this week, but for now I'll just point you to the article and let you read it.

This book sounds great - as soon as it's published in the UK I shall be snapping up a copy.
Women of personal finance spotlight: The Frugal Duchess here to answer your questions
For this entire week (8/18- 8/24), Sharon Harvey Rosenberg (The Frugal Duchess) be answering questions in our forum about blogging, personal finance, and her new book Frugal Duchess of South Beach: How to Live Well and Save Money Anywhere!
All of us have dreams of publishing a book based on our blogs or life stories. Now you can ask Sharon how she was able to land that Holy Grail among writers: A fabulous book deal.
As a popular columnist for the Miami Herald, Sharon can also offer useful insights on how bloggers can approach journalists to get more media attention.
This interview is part of Wise Bread's spotlight on the Women of Personal Finance. At the end of the interview period we'll publish the best questions and answers from the forum interview and post them on the homepage. If your question gets picked we'll include a link back to your blog.
Join the conversation with the Frugal Duchess today.

Sharon is an award-winning journalist for the Miami Herald who is an expert on living a life of high style without the stress of high costs or deprivation. Her new book chronicles her often hilarious journey of luxury living for less in one of the most expensive cities in the U.S., while equipping readers with the tools they can use in their own cities.
"I have a fashionably frugal attitude: Live well, find meaning and stay on a budget." Sharon
Sharon has so many great tips on her blog it is hard to pick our favorites. Here is a sample of her money-saving, style-enhancing tips:
Check out some of the media attention she's getting for her wonderful book:
Here's a great review of Sharon's book from an enthusiastic Amazon fan :
I just devoured "The Frugal Duchess" on a weekend getaway trip and loved it. Not only did I amass a number of helpful tips-- AAA discounts movie tickets & vinegar works as an inexpensive alternative to pricey dishwasher rinses-- but the author is so engaging that I enjoyed every moment of the journey. This book improbably combines everything from a glimpse into the South Beach high life to tales of growing up African-American in the Philadelphia suburbs to creative tips for throwing a memorable slumber party for tween girls.
Harvey Rosenberg has a terrific sense of humor, and the stories of her family made the book truly priceless. With any luck, she'll soon have her own TV spot so she can continue to offer offbeat shopping ideas and important life lessons.
A frugal blogger with a TV spot? Why not? I would certainly watch that show. Yup, that's how rumors get started folks. Please drop by the forum and have a chat with the Frugal Duchess today.

These all sound like great links! I've bookmarked this for later more leisurely perusal of each one. Thanks, Lynn!
That's a great idea! Imagine how many women will benefit from it. Blogging about personal finance is a great way to share experiences that either cost you a fortune or saved you one. There should be more of such books and it's very great to see women personal finance bloggers on the internet! Women manage finances better than men :)

Bill Laimbeer returned to the WNBA on Thursday as the New York Liberty's general manager and coach.
The former Detroit Pistons star led the Detroit Shock to three WNBA titles and was 137-93 as the team's general manager and coach from 2002-09.
"I am very excited to return to the WNBA, and for the opportunity to join the New York Liberty," Laimbeer said. "I missed the competitive fire of players like Cappie Pondexter and Plenette Pierson, two hard-nosed competitors for the Liberty. The commitment of our fans and the city will be invaluable in our quest to bring a WNBA championship to New York. After all, that's really all that counts."
Laimbeer replaces John Whisenant. In two seasons as general manager and coach, Whisenant had a 34-34 record and led the Liberty to playoff berths.
"We're excited to have Bill Laimbeer join the New York Liberty as our general manager and head coach," said Allan Houston, the New York Knicks' assistant GM who oversees the Liberty's basketball operations. "He has brought his winning pedigree and passion to the WNBA and I believe he will play a large role in bringing a championship to the Liberty. We appreciate Coach Whisenant's dedication to our team and the organization, and wish him well in the future."
Terms of Laimbeer's deal with the team weren't disclosed.

Reviewed by Chris P. (age 8) and Nitesh M. (age 8)
I (Nitesh) think this book was cool because it was amazing that Maurice did things that were super hard to accomplish when he was a kid. For example, there was one time when he made a hockey rink out of wood with his dad. This taught me that if you use the power of tenacity, you can reach your goals.
I (Chris) thought the goals that Maurice achieved were really amazing.
I (James) think the best part in the book was when Maurice scored his 500th goal because it was cool.
If you like hockey, long adventure books, or you want to see how using the value of tenacity can help you, you should definitely read this book!

Ciplox is used to treat different types of bacterial infections. It may also be used to prevent or slow anthrax after exposure.
Take Cipro exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Take Cipro with a full glass of water (8 ounces). Drink several extra glasses of fluid each day while you are taking this medicine. Cipro may be taken with or without food, but take it at the same time each day. Shake the oral suspension (liquid) for at least 15 seconds just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
When taking the Cipro oral liquid, swallow it without chewing the medicine beads you may notice in the liquid.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time. Do not take Cipro with dairy products such as milk or yogurt, or with calcium-fortified juice. You may eat or drink these products as part of a regular meal, but do not use them alone when taking Cipro. They could make the medication less effective.
Take Cipro for the full prescribed length of time. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cleared. Skipping doses may also increase your risk of further infection that is resistant to antibiotics. Cipro will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Store Cipro at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medicine to freeze.
If you missed a dose - take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
Take exactly as prescribed by your Health Provider.
Store this medicine at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not allow the liquid medicine to freeze.
You should not use Ciplox if you are taking tizanidine (Zanaflex), if you have a history of myasthenia gravis, or if you are allergic to ciprofloxacin or similar antibiotics such as gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and others.
Before taking Ciplox, tell your doctor if you have a heart rhythm disorder, kidney or liver disease, joint problems, diabetes, muscle weakness or trouble breathing, a condition called pseudotumor cerebri, a history of seizures, a history of head injury or brain tumor, low levels of potassium in your blood, a personal or family history of Long QT syndrome, or if you have ever had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic.
Do not take Ciplox with dairy products such as milk or yogurt, or with calcium-fortified juice. Avoid taking antacids, vitamin or mineral supplements, sucralfate (Carafate), or didanosine (Videx) powder or chewable tablets within 6 hours before or 2 hours after you take Ciplox. Ciprofloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. Stop taking Ciplox and call your doctor at once if you have sudden pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or movement problems in any of your joints. Rest the joint until you receive medical care or instructions.
You should NOT take Ciplox if:
- you are also taking tizanidine (Zanaflex);
- you have a history of myasthenia gravis; or
- you are allergic to ciprofloxacin or similar medications such as gemifloxacin (Factive), levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox), ofloxacin (Floxin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), and others.
To make sure you can safely take Ciplox, tell your doctor if you have any of these other conditions:
- heart rhythm disorder, especially if you take quinidine (Quin-G), disopyramide (Norpace), bretylium (Bretylol), procainamide (Pronestyl, Procan SR), amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone), or sotalol (Betapace);
- a history of head injury or brain tumor;
- a condition called pseudotumor cerebri (high pressure inside the skull that may cause headaches, vision loss, or other symptoms);
- a history of allergic reaction to an antibiotic;
- joint problems;
- kidney or liver disease;
- epilepsy or seizures;
- diabetes;
- muscle weakness or trouble breathing;
- low levels of potassium in your blood (hypokalemia); or
- a personal or family history of Long QT syndrome.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether Ciplox will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using it. Ciprofloxacin passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Ciplox may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. These effects may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you take steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant. Stop taking Ciplox and call your doctor at once if you have sudden pain, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or movement problems in any of your joints. Rest the joint until you receive medical care or instructions. Do not share Ciplox with another person (especially a child), even if they have the same symptoms you have.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Ciplox: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using Ciplox and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- severe dizziness, fainting, fast or pounding heartbeats;
- sudden pain, snapping or popping sound, bruising, swelling, tenderness, stiffness, or loss of movement in any of your joints;
- diarrhea that is watery or bloody;
- confusion, hallucinations, depression, unusual thoughts or behavior;
- seizure (convulsions);
- severe headache, ringing in your ears, dizziness, nausea, vision problems, pain behind your eyes;
- pale or yellowed skin, dark colored urine, fever, weakness;
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- easy bruising or bleeding;
- numbness, tingling, or unusual pain anywhere in your body;
- the first sign of any skin rash, no matter how mild; or
- severe skin reaction -- fever, sore throat, swelling in your face or tongue, burning in your eyes, skin pain, followed by a red or purple skin rash that spreads (especially in the face or upper body) and causes blistering and peeling.
Less serious side effects:
- nausea, vomiting;
- dizziness or drowsiness;
- blurred vision;
- feeling nervous, anxious, or agitated; or
- sleep problems (insomnia or nightmares).
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects.
Buy Cipro
Sometimes some special drugs cannot be accessed from a regular retail pharmacy. It isn't difficult for Americans to get medicaments online. How it is possible? What can customers order without prescription? Online medicine services allow patients to gain access to their prescriptions at low cost. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker. This drug works by relaxing the muscles of your heart. If you suffer from spinal cord injuries, then Tegretol can be ideal treatment. Sometimes medically necessary remedy is used to prevent a serious disease and for which no acceptable medicine alternative is available in adequate supply. So if you are experiencing one of above problems, it is substantial to see a qualified sex therapist instantly for a complete physical examination.
What other medicines will affect Cipro? Probably you already heard something about the matter. You have to follow your health care professional's instructions about tapering the dose. Do you want to buy Cipro from the Web? What do you know about how to buy Cipro? This is why it's so important to get a diagnosis by a certified health care provider.
The symptoms of sexual problems in men include impossibility to have an erection sufficient for sexual functioning. Sexual health is an substantial part of a man's life. Man that lacks sexual desire commonly won't want to initiate the sexual intercourse. Whereas the erectile dysfunction itself isn't necessarily grave, such disease is sometimes one of the early warning signs of other underlying health problems that can be very strong. Causes of sexual dysfunction include injury to the penis. Chronic illness, some remedies, and a condition called Peyronie's disease can also cause sexual dysfunction. We are going to discuss the matter in more detail later.
Any medication may cause some side effects. Some side effects can be actually serious. Ususally patients using this generic generally do not have serious side effects. Never use such medicine without telling your pharmacist if you going to become pregnant during treatment. The use of a medication should be an informed decision made between you and provider considering issues such as alternative treatments and safety. This article reviewed some basic information to keep in mind, as well as how you can find options to order drugs.

What is it with Florida and children?
Every time I hear something on the news about a missing and exploited child, even before they say where it happened, my mind immediately clicks that it happened in our state.
It seems that, for whatever reason, children in Florida ages 3 to 13 are not safe, especially little girls. There was a time when you could lock your door and go to bed. You felt safe, knowing that when you got up your kids would still be there. But I guess that's a thing of the past.
I ran into Times Sports Editor Joe Ferolito at an eatery in Bristol. He was over there helping someone out, which seemed perfectly natural to me. Joe has been in the helping-someone-out business as long as I have known him.
It's finally happened. The glow in which our new president had basked has faded.
One month after President Barack Obama took his oath of office, 60 percent of Americans approve of the job he's doing, down from 65 percent three weeks ago. The percentage of people who disapprove has increased to 26 percent, up from 16 percent.
Some would argue that this is due to grumblings among Republicans. But numbers show that in mid-January, the majority of Republicans had a favorable opinion of Obama.
As of last Friday President Barack Obama has been in office one month. But from some of the comments I have heard on television and radio, and from individuals, you would think the man had been in office for four or five years.
It started the day he was sworn into office. Immediately, some of the people over at Fox News were counting the minutes. It was almost as if they were saying,"Well, he's been in office for 30 minutes. Now let's see what he can do."
The next day, it was, "He's been in office for a whole day and what has he done? Nothing."
Cathy wants to go on a vacation. I told her, "We live in Florida!" I don't see how we can improve on that! I invited her to sit out on the back steps and enjoy the sun slowly sinking into the Gulf. I volunteered to take her out to Indian Pass and watch the tide roll in. We could stop by Jim McNeil's store and have a romantic fried scallop sandwich on the way home. I offered to rent a canoe…
OK...I'm just going to say it, despite the fact that it will make me seem like such an old fogey.
I am sick of loud, thumping, booming music coming from cars. I hate hearing it when I am working. I hate hearing it at home. I hate hearing it at a stoplight. I hate hearing it alone – OK...it doesn't matter whether I'm alone, I just wanted to pay tribute to Dr. Seuss.
But the point is, I can't stand when someone forces me to listen to their music. And that's exactly what those rude people do. And they are rude...very rude.
I can't dance. I've tried, but there is something wrong with the side of my brain that controls dancing.
When line dancing became popular a few years back, I thought I was saved. This, I thought, is something I can do, since you're in a line with a bunch of other people and all of you are doing the same thing. I did pretty good, too. For the most part, I kept up and didn't throw too many people off.
I keep hearing "economic meltdown," "Wall Street havoc," "depression," "bailout"…it's enough to drive you batty if you let it. You watch two minutes of CNN and you'd think Gabriel blew the horn eight days ago and we missed it. Woe is us! If we can be pushed into a panic in this country, the news media is doing all it can to help.
I'm just so thankful that my happiness, well-being and state of mind is not tied to Wall Street.

April Braswell, Relationship Coach Par Excellence! I had been stuck in a relationship that was going nowhere with a man who did not love me and who did not make me happy.... April gave me the confidence to HOPE that there was someone out there who would love me and accept me for who I was. She held my hand thoughout the whole the experience, or I would never gone online....I was too skittish about the whole deal. In fact, I told her, "April, I have already met all the single men in the Metro area in my age agroup. There's no one out there for me that I am interested in! But April's warmth, encouragement, and compassion challenged me to venture online. I did and enjoyed a number of good results. I had some good dates. This was good. But still...I had not met THE one. Then she encouraged me to try another service...and within several weeks...I was dating new men. It was GREAT. What a difference. THANK YOU......I love you!!! Sonya L.

scrubmonkey needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 85 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
scrubmonkey is a new employment website exclusively for medical professionals - including, but not limited to physicians.
We are a specialized job posting and social networking service focusing on medical professionals and students.
We are looking for a logo to represent the scrubmonkey brand.
We are aiming at an adult audience and therefore do not want a childish design. A contemporary and professional style is desired. Since it will also be used for social networking, something with a creative flair is encouraged.
The primary use of the logo will be on our website but should be equally usable for our office signage, business cards, t-shirts and other marketing merchandises.
We suggest using either very vibrant color sets or black and white
The following are possible inclusions in the design:
· Monkey in scrubs
· Monkey in different outfits portraying different jobs titles (physicians, nurses, technicians)
· Potentially an abstract picture of a monkey with more focus on the font.
· Possibly other medical paraphernalia such as stethoscope, syringe, etc
· Possibly wearing facemask and surgical cap
We will entertain all designs – above is a possible outline but we will consider more abstract designs, etc.
The logo should be independent of background color. We do not want a logo with a filled background – the background of the logo should be transparent to allow it to be placed on any website.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Using a git driver development tree
Compiling a Git repository
The git driver repositories contain the full Linux kernel tree. So, before working with a driver, a full kernel compilation should be done. The easiest way is to run:
$ make oldconfig
This will use your kernel old configuration, asking you only about the new features that have added (or moved), when compared with your original kernel version.
The first build will take some time. In order to do it, just run:
$ make
After having the kernel built (and tested), subsequent compilations can be done by running:
make M=drivers/media/
or, if the driver is currently at staging, by running:
make M=drivers/staging/
With the above commands, only the media (or staging) drivers will be recompiled, if they got changed, saving you some time on testing the new driver features.
NOTE: if you added new files or changed the files dependencies, you may need to do a full make. In this case, just run: $ make
Installing the new kernel
If this is the first time you're compiling the drivers, or if kernel version changed from your previous build, you should run a full drivers installation with:
# make modules_install install
Be sure to be root when installing the drivers.
Installing the new drivers on your kernel
After the first installation, you may just copy the new drivers with this small script:
for i in `find drivers/media -name *.ko`; do if [ $i -nt /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/$i ]; then sudo install -m 644 -c -D $i /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/$i || exit -1 fi done
NOTE: if your kernel version changed, you'll need to re-build the kernel again, with $ make olconfig $ make

Lee County Supervisor of Elections Sharon Harrington has some advice for voters when they go to the ballot box on Nov. 6.
When you get your sample ballot by mail, don't throw it away. You may need it to wade your way through the series of choices.
Not only will voters have to decide on a president, but also a U.S. Senator, U.S. Rep., state senators and reps, county reps, local reps, and numerous resolutions.
All told, Harrington said voters should expect to see four pages -front and back - of ballot items. Only the first page will have the candidates.
"We encourage voters to mark their (sample) ballots and bring them with them," Harrington said. "The only thing you can't do is leave them there."
The sample ballots that were sent before the primary were, as Harrington called them, "bed sheet" ballots, a generic ballot.
More thorough, November ballots will be sent to homes in time for early voting, Harrington said.
A good part of the first page will be presidential candidates. Although most would say there are only two that matter, eight others will be write-ins or from third parties.
Among the other races local voters will decide on in November will be the race for U.S. Senate between Republican Connie Mack and Democrat Bill Nelson, and the U.S. Dist. 19 race between Republican Trey Radel and Democrat Jim Roach and unaffiliated Brandon M. Smith.
In state races, Republican Dana Eagle will face Democrat Arvella M. Clare in the District 77 Representative race.
Voters will decide on three Board of County Commissioners races. Republican Cecil Pendergrass will face unaffiliated John W. Sawyer III and write-in candidate Neal Moore in District 2; GOP winner Larry Kiker will battle unaffiliated Charlie Whitehead in District 3; and District 5 has Republican Frank Mann against Matt Miller of the Independence Party of Florida.
Also on the November ballot will be a county commission race that did not see the primary. In District 1, Republican John E. Manning will face write-in candidate Gerard David Jr.
While the District 3 school board race was settled after Cathleen Morgan earned more than 50 percent of the vote, District 2 candidates Bill Chilmonik and incumbent Jeanne Dozier will have a run-off.
Republican Mike Scott will face Lee Bushong, a no-party affiliation candidate, and write-in candidate Christian Meister in sheriff's race.
Harrington has said that with Lee County being a heavily Republican area, the winners of the GOP primaries have traditionally gone on to win the general election.
But she cited the 2010 Senate race in Alaska, when Lisa Murkowski won as a write-in candidate.
Indeed, the trend has been on the GOP, since all but one primary was Republican.
Registered Democrats and independents, however, outnumber registered Republicans in Lee County, meaning no race can be construed as a given.
"Republicans have been the trend in Lee County. There was no focus on the Democratic primary here," Clare said. "But I can win. I'm focused, and I'm here running and fighting for the people in Cape Coral."
The other pages will contain wording for nearly a dozen constitutional amendments and other items, the most important, perhaps, being whether to allow slot machines at the Naples Dog Track.
Harrington said people need to get out there and vote because the presidential race is expected to be tighter than ever - especially with Florida as a key battleground state.
"It's going to be a flip of the coin and that scares me. I hope it won't be like 2000 all over again," Harrington said.
Harrington also said she was not happy with the 21 percent turnout for the primaries.
"It shocked me. We had school boards, judges, where were they?" Harrington said. "We had 80,000 out of 375,000? That's disgusting."

Nov. 11, 2006
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Trailing 1-0, the 17th-ranked UC Santa Barbara men's soccer team responded with a pair of goals from Bryan Byrne and Andy Iro in a span of less than three minutes and went on to defeat No. 30 San Diego State 2-1 in a NCAA Tournament First Round match-up Saturday afternoon at Harder Stadium.
With the victory, UCSB improves to 13-7 overall this season. The Gauchos have now won five consecutive matches in the opening (first or second) round of the NCAA Tournament and remain unbeaten at Harder Stadium in the Big Dance competition at 5-0-0. The Aztecs finish the season at 9-6-4.
For the second time in as many years, UCSB drew SDSU in the first round at Harder Stadium and, for the third time in the last three meetings the result was the same, a Gaucho victory by a one-goal margin. The difference in Saturday's match was that Santa Barbara was able to accomplish something they have not done all season--come from behind to win. 11 of UCSB's 13 victories have been shutouts and the Aztecs became just the second squad to find the net in a Santa Barbara win in 2006.
"The story of the game was definitely us being able to come back on somebody finally," head coach Tim Vom Steeg said. "We haven't been able to come back from a 1-0 deficit all year and to do it in a playoff game was no small feat."
The Aztecs came out of the gates firing and took the first three shots of the match. Senior goalkeeper Kyle Reynish made three of his total of five saves in the game's first five minutes, denying offerings from defenders Steve Beitashour, Kraig Chiles, and forward Daniel Ortega.
UCSB's first quality scoring opportunity came at the 32:24 mark, when freshman midfielder David Walker dribbled up field on the left wing, split two SDSU defenders and fired towards the net, but keeper Tally Hall was there for the first of his nine saves on the afternoon. Sophomore midfielder Chris Pontius had another good look seven minutes later but his header went wide right, and Hall stopped Alfonso Motagalvan's head ball with less than three minutes left in the opening period.
The score was deadlocked at halftime, with the Aztecs out-shooting the Gauchos 7-6.
That changed ten minutes into the second when San Diego State took 1-0 lead. Ortiz carried the ball in the middle of the field and chipped it over a Gaucho defensive back from about 30 yards out. Forward Freddy McDonald collected the ball on the run and, after Reynish came out on the play, slipped in just inside the left post at the 54:57 mark.
The Gauchos, who have struggled playing from behind all season, did not panic and continued to attack. After Hall made an impressive save on what looked to be a sure goal for sophomore midfielder Eric Avila, UCSB responded with the equalizer roughly ten minutes later. At 65:36, senior co-captain Byrne took a corner from the left side and Hall leaped up to punch his cross out of the box. The rebound went directly back to Byrne, who gathered himself and fired a bending shot back towards the net from just outside the box on the left wing. Hall got a hand on the ball, but it hit the crossbar and bounced straight down past the line for Byrne's third goal of the season.
Santa Barbara was unsatisfied with the 1-1 tie score and wasted little time before striking again. Less than three minutes after Byrne's equalizer, freshman forward Nick Perera found junior midfielder Tyler Rosenlund entering the box on the right side. Rosenlund crossed over to his left and shot and the ball ricocheted off an Aztec defender straight to Iro in the box. Iro cleaned up the mess at the 67:34 mark with his first goal of 2006, giving the Gauchos the final 1-0 advantage.
"We were playing with a lot of energy after the first goal," Iro said. "The crowd was back in it. I saw the ball get picked up on the outside and I came in because I thought (Avila) wasn't going to score and I hoped the ball would come back around to me. It did and all I had to do was put it in."
UCSB tried to tack on one more in the final 20 minutes, but Hall stopped a curling shot from Avila and blocked a rocket off the foot of senior midfielder Eric Frimpong. Avila had another shot from the top of the box blocked.
The Gauchos dominated play in the second half and out-shot the visitors 14-3. Avila led the way offensively with four shots, three of which were on frame, while Perera had three and Byrne and Walker took two shots apiece. McDonald led the Aztecs with three.
Santa Barbara will now fly to Dallas, Tex. to take on No. 3 seed Southern Methodist University Wednesday, November 15. The Gauchos and Mustangs, who finished the regular season with a No. 1 NSCAA national ranking, will square off at 5:00 p.m. (PT).

At least for now, it's all about Brandon Weeden.
The Cleveland Browns quarterback opened up this week's organized team activities as the Browns' starter under center, relegating veteran Jason Campbell to second-team snaps and making it clear this is Weeden's job to lose.
"At this position -- which, to me, is the hardest position in sports -- you can't be looking over your shoulder all the time," Weeden told Vic Carucci of the team's official site this week. "You've got to worry about what's most important, and that's me getting better, building on what I did last year and continue to grow as a player. And, if I can do that, and not really worry about what's going on around me, and kind of have that tunnel vision, that's going to make me a better player and that's going to make this team better."
The Browns talked all offseason about giving Weeden a chance to cement the job in his second season. Instead of surrounding him with challengers, the Browns' front office ignored the position in the 2013 NFL Draft and added nobody viable to the mix outside of Campbell.
The hope is Weeden will be a more solid fit in coach Rob Chudzinski's vertical air attack than he was in Pat Shurmur's West Coast offense a season ago.
This is very much a one-year trial for Weeden. He turns 30 in October, ranked near the bottom of the NFL in most passing categories as a rookie and -- whether he chooses to look over his shoulder -- he's being asked to play a very different tune in 2013.

Smart Move: NBA Baller Amare Stoudemire Is Doing The Right Thing To Protect His Racks During The Lockout
Wonder if he had any words of advice for Kris Humphries??
The NBA lockout has "King of New York" Amar'e Stoudemire tightening his belt, sources say, as he loses millions from his $100 million, five-year contract with the Knicks. Stoudemire, who has homes in Miami, LA, Phoenix and Manhattan, was also renting Golden State Warrior David Lee's apartment in White Plains to be closer to the Knicks' training camp. But he moved out last month and won't renew the lease to cut costs. Stoudemire also leases a penthouse at 99 Jane St. at $37,500 a month. "He's known for having ridiculous costs," a source said. "He's thinking if the season doesn't happen, he's going to lose $20 million this year." Stoudemire told us at Thursday's Fashion Group International's 28th annual Night of Stars event that he misses his longtime bodyguard, Max Cayard, who is employed by the Knicks. "I can't talk to him at all," Stoudemire said, adding, "I haven't talked to him since the last game, so I don't know what he's up to. I mean, you know, I was so used to hanging around with him, he's been there with me every day. Not seeing him for months is a little different." Stoudemire's rep told us, "Amar'e decided not to renew David Lee's apartment in White Plains. He spent all of his time in the city, so he didn't need two places. Like most players, Amar'e was told to prepare for a lockout or any losses that it would cause. He has the same size staff that he had since last August. One assistant and one chef are the only two people who work with him full-time."
We want to give Amare credit for acting responsibly, but that $40,000 a month penthouse is little bit on the excessive side. Play on playa, just don't play yourself…

Are you brand new to Photoshop Elements 11, and don't know where to start? Are you a casual photographer looking to add pro-quality effects to your photos? Do you want to create and share stunning pictures that are worth a thousand likes? If you answered "yes" to even one of those questions, then this post is just for you.
In this post, we'll learn how to get started with using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, how to use it with Elements Organizer, and how to create stunning photographs almost effortlessly.
Installing Photoshop Elements
To begin with, let's talk a bit about installing Photoshop Elements – see this step-by-step guide to help you with the installation process. If you run into any issues, or you're looking for assistance, you can reach out for help on the Photoshop Elements forums.
When you install Photoshop Elements, Elements Organizer is installed by default. On launching Photoshop Elements 11, you see a screen like this:
Click Organizer to import, find, and organize your media (photos and videos) or click Photo Editor to edit your photos.
Using the Organizer
The Organizer workspace provides a new, simple, and clean interface. You can easily import photos, add folders, and share them in a few clicks.
Easy importing of photos
The Import options are now easier to discover. You can import your media (photos and videos) directly from your camera or card reader, scanner, files and folders, or from Adobe Revel.
While importing your photos, you can let Photoshop Elements automatically suggest photo stacks. Stacks of visually similar photos are then intelligently created. I find this feature especially useful when you capture photos in the burst-mode setting on your camera, and want to eliminate duplicate photos.
Simplified sorting and viewing of photos
Photoshop Elements provides you four very intuitive ways of sorting and viewing your media:
Media The Media tab groups files based on whether they are photos, videos, audio files, PDFs, and so on.
Places The Places tab displays photos on a map based on where they were taken. Integration with Google maps lets you tag photos with places where the photos were taken. For more information, see this article.
People The People tab groups photos based on who's featuring in them using facial recognition. This is one of my favorite features – Once you've identified the face of a person in a photo, and if you have Facebook connected to your Photoshop Elements, you can add the Facebook name of the person. A photo stack is then created for the identified person. See this article for a detailed explanation.
Events The Events tab lets you view photos based on events. For example, you can create a stack of photos taken at a vacation, or a party, or any other event. For more information, see this article.
The powerful search capabilities in Elements Organizer lets you quickly search for photos or videos based on keywords, people, places, and events. For a better understanding of the ways of sorting and viewing your photos, watch this video.
Sharing photos on the Web
You can post your photos to Facebook, share them via email, or share them in other interactive ways from the Organizer. For an overview of the different ways you can share your photos, see this video. We also have some helpful tutorials to help you learn more.
Using the Photo Editor
There's lots to talk about here, but I'll focus only on the three main modes of editing, and point you to good resources from where you can learn and understand more. Before getting into the details, you can check out this video for a quick overview of all the features in Photoshop Elements 11.
Editing photos
To open Photo Editor from the Organizer workspace, you simply click the Editor button on the Elements Organizer taskbar.
The revamped UI is noticeably clean, simple, and intuitive.
The interface is very easy to navigate and has three basic modes of editing:
Quick If you are new to image editing and want to make just basic edits, without being overwhelmed by the several editing options, use the Quick editing mode. This mode is best suited for fixing the sharpness, exposure, colors, and so on.
Guided If you'd like to explore more complex image editing and want some guidance with using it, use the Guided editing mode. The Guided editing mode provides you step-by-step assistance in creating the perfect portrait, adding depth of field, and such. Check out this article for more information.
Expert Use the Expert editing mode if you are well versed with image editing, and want to jump straight into using all the available editing tools.
To learn more about editing your photos, check out some helpful articles at this page.

About advising and advisors
The advising process at Concordia: From entry to graduation1. Advisor assignments
After students are admitted and confirmed as incoming students, they are assigned to either a freshman advisor or, if they are a transfer student, an academic advisor. Transfer students will be assigned a faculty advisor within the department of their indicated major. Freshman students will begin with their assigned freshman advisor and then select a faculty advisor in their program area before the end of their first year.2. Advising and registration
- The advisor will develop a schedule of courses dependent upon the students intended major and possible transfer courses.
- The advisor will contact the student concerning the schedule and register the student for the upcoming semester.
Students are urged to make an appointment with their advisor several weeks prior to their registration dates as published in the academic calendar. Students receive their alternate pin ("Alt PIN") numbers from their academic advisors and register on Banner self-service. The purpose of this process is to insure that all students meet with their advisor at least once a semester. Other notes on the registration process:3. Drops and adds after registration
- Students can test their alternate pin numbers prior to registration in Banner self-service.
- Students should review course prerequisites to ensure that they have met all the requirements.
- Students should check Banner self-service to confirm that they do not have a hold that would restrict them from registering.
Dropping and adding classes can be completed by the student on Banner Self-serve through census date (the first week of classes each semester).
Students can withdraw from a course by completing a withdrawal form available in the registrar's office. Advisor and instructor signature are required. The withdrawal deadline is published in the academic calendar.
4. Declaring a major or changing a major
Students complete a declaration of major form with the assistance of their advisor (advisor signature required). Changing an advisor may be necessary when declaring or changing majors. The current advisor will assist in this process. [MORE]
5. Working with other advising resources within the university
The academic resource center (ARC) & ADA
The academic resources center services include tutoring, group study sessions for test reviews and weekly study meetings, individualized learning sessions with ARC staff to learn strategies for time management, study skills, note-taking, and test-taking. [MORE]
Concordia also provides reasonable accommodations for specialized services to students with documented learning needs. [MORE]

Six degrees of separation? More like 4.74
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon may be the name of the game but it takes less than that to connect any two users on Facebook.
According to a study by Facebook and the University of Milan, the average number of steps it takes to link any two individuals on the social network is 4.74.
In a blog post late Monday, Facebook's Data Team said the researchers had used state-of-the-art algorithms to approximate the number of "hops" between all pairs of individuals on Facebook.
"We found that the degrees of separation between any two Facebook users is smaller than the commonly cited six degrees, and has been shrinking over the past three years as Facebook has grown," they said. "Six degrees actually overstates the number of links between typical pairs of users.
"While 99.6 percent of all pairs of users are connected by paths with five degrees (six hops), 92 percent are connected by only four degrees (five hops).
"And as Facebook has grown over the years, representing an ever larger fraction of the global population, it has become steadily more connected," they said. "The average distance in 2008 was 5.28 hops, while now it is 4.74."
"Thus, when considering even the most distant Facebook user in the Siberian tundra or the Peruvian rainforest, a friend of your friend probably knows a friend of their friend," they said.
The researchers said that when focusing on a single country, most pairs of people are separated by only three degrees, or four hops, and the vast majority of connections span only a short distance.
"We found that 84 percent of all connections are between users in the same country," they said.
For the study done earlier this year, the researchers examined 721 million active Facebook users -- a figure that represents more than 10 percent of the global population -- and the 69 billion friendships among them.
The notion of six degrees of separation between any two people stems from a 1929 short story, "Chains," by Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy and research performed in in the 1960s by American social psychologist Stanley Milgram.
The phrase gained further currency with the 1990 play "Six Degrees of Separation" by American playwright John Guare.
More recently, it has been the name of the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, in which players try to connect Hollywood actors to the "Footloose" star in the shortest number of steps.

Keep Your Pet Safe
Dogs love to run around inside of vehicles and cats love to explore their new surroundings. Although it's tempting to let your dog roam and stick his head out the window, it isn't safe for him or the rest of your family.
Dogs are susceptible to the same injuries we are in the unfortunate event of a crash. In some ways, pets can be hurt even worse. Dogs can be injured from airbags, just as children can. You don't allow children in the front seat, so why your dog? We all know seatbelts can save our lives by keeping us in the vehicle in an accident, so give your pet that same chance at staying alive in a deadly situation by picking out the right dog travel accessories for both of you.
Dogs can also hurt others during a crash or distract a driver so much that they cause a crash. According to a survey by AAA and Kurgo (whose dog travel accessories we offer here), three in 10 respondents admitted to being distracted by their dog while driving. Kurgo also points out that in a crash at 50 mph, an unrestrained, 10-pound dog will fly through the air and exert about 500 pounds of force.
Keeping your dog in a booster seat, a buckled in carrier or on a zip line will prevent heartache and injury. There are also barriers that, at the very least, keep your dog contained in one part of your vehicle.
Food and Water Travel Accessories
Our selection of travel food and water bowls for dogs will make it much easier for you to stick to your dog's eating schedule while on the road. They are so easy to take along that you'll have no problem getting your dog food and water when they need it most on a hot summer vacation day or a long fall hike. This type of dog travel gear is essential for active pet parents.
Protect Your Car, Truck or SUV
We love our pets, but we also value the investment we've made in our vehicles. That's why we have a variety of vehicle protection products available for you to choose from. Seat protectors, door guards and cargo area protectors will prevent you dog from being able to damage the interior of your vehicle.
Dog Travel Accessories for Outdoor Adventurers
Our pet travel products don't stop being helpful once you've arrived at your destination. We have soft side carriers that make it easy to contain your pet when needed. We also have dog backpacks for the hikers out there, life jackets from the swimmers and travel nap mats for the campers.
Why Shop at dogIDs?
We love finding ways for you and your pet to build a stronger relationship while helping you keep your dog safe, healthy and happy. This is why our team comes to work every day. If you have any questions about our products, please just give our customer service team a call at 800-720-8247.

As with other industries, we in the fitness industry tend to become stale and myopic about the future of equipment, trends, and tools that can further our businesses. This is a very natural tendency that we operate within our limited, existing ecosystem. However, thought leaders in every industry have stepped outside of the bubble of their peer's limited thinking to generate products and services that gives birth to creative breakthroughs. Think of Steven Jobs, CEO of Apple, and his continuing success with his suite of iPod products. Certainly Mr. Job's uncanny vision of what consumers want and will use is unique. Yet, he continues to capture the zeitgeist of not only the consumer but also understands how individuals want to experience their media.
This month we've interviewed an executive with a company that continues to spend time and enormous resources thinking about how consumers will use technology in their lives in the future. In this interview we'll concentrate on the enormous challenges facing our industry and the broader health care industry that exist right now.
Jonathon Puskas is a strategic platform planner for Intel's Digital Health Group. A division of Intel, he is committed to changing the game on how consumers interact with their personal computers in the areas of personal care, health and fitness, and management of chronic diseases.
Gregory Florez: What macro trends do you see evolving in the next 12 to 18 months that involve technology in the health and fitness arena?
John Puskas: Aging populations, those over 60, outnumber those in their 20s for the first time in our history and will do so in the foreseeable future. Chronic illnesses will affect well over 500 million people by 2008. Forty-five percent of Americans already deal with chronic disease on a daily basis. The Center for Disease Control shows that we have a certified epidemic of individuals dealing with lifestyle-related diseases. There are essentially two places to "play" in this arena: treatment and prevention. We look at markets from frail patients in their later stages of life (those with multiple co-morbidities, diabetes and heart disease) to diet and fitness fanatics already using technology as a way to manage, monitor and reach their lofty goals. The third category, arguably the most fertile for the fitness industry is comprised of "the worried well"—those between 30 and 45 who, although not yet ill, have a family history of diseases and risk factors (or simply want to stay proactive in their health and nutrition). Think of your member or customer who thinks "I'm paying attention to my health while not necessarily being a hard core four to six times-a-week exerciser." These are the people we believe represent one of the most fertile groups for technology partnerships on which to concentrate.
All of these categories are becoming regular users of technology particularly using their home personal computers. Early adopters, generally athletes, have been using technology that started with heart rate but now include devices that measure speed, altitude, power, cadence, all of which are uploadable to their coaches. With this group, the days of scratching around in log book are over. It is becoming much easier to make these devices even more compatible with PCs. This aggregation will lead to more seamless use of pedometers, weight scales, even virtual training modalities for all exercisers, not just athletes. Fitness companies recognize that downloading enhances the viability and efficiency of exercise devices which, therefore, increases adherence and goal achievement.
GF: How will technology companies support or interact with the fitness industry including manufacturers, clubs and practitioners?
JP: First of all Intel does not aspire to build exercise equipment, training devices and other peripherals that will take market share away from fitness equipment manufacturers. Intel hopes to act in a leadership role to enable the fitness ecosystem, drive standards and interoperability of devices and equipment, improve consumer ease of use and out-of-box experience in set up and use of these new products and devices and by doing so increase market potential, drive new consumers and users and improve the business models for all participants. Intel would also like to help fitness companies better understand technology and use it to interface with PCs and create more visibility to those who may not yet exercise in untapped markets.
GF: There appears to finally be a merging of health care, personal care and fitness. From your perspective what does this brave new world look like?
JP: We see a definite continuum here. It involves improving quality of life combined with lower health care costs. In the pure health care world there is acute care, specialty medical population care, etc., growing at a record pace. In the middle, assisted living, in its many forms is a growing market. Finally, at the highest are those individuals with medical conditions who are self monitored. We believe that some of the things can be done with heart rate monitors, glucose measuring devices and other traditional measuring tools that more people can move into the self monitored category as a result of the PC/device interfaces that will come online.
Ultimately, if we help people maintain their highest quality of health at home, we've won. Fitness is only one piece of the pie—diet, exercise and motivation are the other pieces. We picture a world where you do all of your workouts, record the food you eat, and all of it aggregates to the PC. When go to your health practitioner you would carry a USB stick that would contain critical information to share with your doctor and used with your PC in the early stages. Essentially, this becomes a space where fitness information is a feeder into a personal health record. Ultimately you, in partnership with your health care team, can maintain important information electronically and digitally in a wireless world. This information could be aggregated on the web for your coach or health care professional. Here then is really the vision: Your customer would arrive in a gym (not only your gym but gyms around the world for travelers), type in their password and user code, up would pop their favorite music to listen to, workouts from their coach and any "exertainment" devices that are to be used in their workout, communicating to their heart rate monitor and altering the beat of the music or pace of the workout resistance to keep them in their optimal target heart rate or cool down zone. And this is just the beginning.
GF: Given this discussion what then would the future gym look like?
JP: To begin with everything would be wireless—cleaner for end user, no cables, bouncing around, no cords to pull out of machines, or ears, etc.
We should also look forward to the day where I walk into my gym with an RFID (radio frequency identification) band like you see being used in marathons and other running races now. This band now "wakes up my profile." I just arrived in the gym and my workout, my machine preferences and my entertainment are now ready to go. This would also allow clubs to insert video or audio ads or information for additional service. Each machine knows what I did last time and then tells me what I should do this time. The data is collected without sweat-soaked workout cards and updated for my next workout. And all of this happens in the background with no key strokes or effort from the user. Life is good. For the gym this information could be used for things like future preventative scheduled maintenance, hours of use, etc. There is a very good infrastructure in place now with many gyms and their partner manufacturers. This next step will not happen right now, but all of us need to start thinking in this way.
I really envision a workout world where you don't just go to a spinning class, but from home you can go to a Web site where a real-time coach can teach a class and do a voice over IP (VoIP) providing instruction from "pick up your pace," decrease your heart rate," etc. This is a potentially huge benefit for an already time-starved population. From your club's point of view, you can touch many, many more customers and create greater loyalty, not to mention additional revenue.

Heather Watson and Laura Robson both suffered shock defeats as they were knocked out in the second round of the Aegon Classic in Edgbaston.
Watson was defeated 6-4 6-3 by Alla Kudryavtseva, a player ranked 118 places below the Brit, in one hour and 11 minutes.
Robson followed through the exit door soon after as she was beaten by Daniela Hantuchova 6-3 6-4.
Watson was playing just her third match since recovering from glandular fever which ruled her out of tennis for two months and only won 59% of the points on her first serve. It was just 42% on the second serve.
Robson also suffered with a poor second serve as she won only 27% of the points on her second serve. The percentage of points won when her first serve was successful was 92% but this did not stop her being defeated by the world number 51.
Another Brit was defeated in the second round too as Johanna Konta was defeated 6-4 6-1 by her 12th seeded opponent Kristina Mladenovic.
This means there are now no Britons left in the draw.

Several years ago, First Baptist Church was taking a long look in the mirror. A makeover was in order.
The Boulder congregation was in the midst of searching for a pastor while struggling to fill the pews. Some Sundays, only 40 people showed up to church. First Baptist needed to become more relevant to the community, more clear about its ecumenical mission.
So First Baptist hired Pastor Bob Ballance, added new programs and outreach missions and changed its name to Pine Street Church.
Now, as the pews fill, members of the congregation say they feel rejuvenated.
"Six years ago, it was the type of church I always dreaded going to as a kid. Now, it's just full of life," said David L'Hommedieu, the church's administrator. "I'm not struggling to stay awake; I'm celebrating."
Church members had talked about breathing new life into the church's mission in years past, but the work really got a jump-start with the hiring of Ballance in 2010.
"Since then, it's been nonstop energy," L'Hommedieu said.
Ballance said the church started its renewal process by selling a piece of property to renovate the aging building. As the interior was being spruced up, Ballance said, the church turned its attention to sprucing up its image in the community, too.
"We just had to have a unique niche," Ballance said. "We're not a mega-church and never want to be. We joke that we're the church where everybody knows your name."
The church officially changed its name in August, then put out new signs and rolled out a new website in October.
Changing the name to Pine Street Church was essential to attract new members and breaking down the stereotypes that came with the Baptist label, L'Hommedieu said.
The name change wasn't meant to hide or change the congregation's American Baptist roots, but rather to frame their beliefs in a more relevant way, he said.
"It's a statement on our beliefs, which weren't lining up with what our title was," L'Hommedieu said.
While looking to restructure and refocus the church, Ballance said he encountered misunderstandings in the community about the church's true beliefs.
"We had done focus groups," he said, "and people thought we were really conservative and didn't know that we were ecumenical and open to multiple faiths."
Ballance said the Baptist label also suffers because of groups such as the Westboro Baptist Church, a church known for its extremely negative views of the gay community and other religions. Most Baptist churches have denounced or distanced themselves from the Westboro Baptist Church because of its messages.
Though the name change was important, Ballance said it is just one step toward shifting the church's focus and demonstrating its inclusive stance.
Pine Street Church has a history of working together with other churches in the neighborhood but wanted to deepen its relationship with the community, he said.
One way, he said, was to open church doors to allow 17 different support groups, musicians and community organizations to use the church's space during the week. "Our building is always full," Ballance said.
Pine Street also added Off Broadway School of Fine Arts, a music school that provides low-cost music lessons for adults, children and teens.
Music also has become a bigger focus within the church, L'Hommedieu said. Especially for the church's new children's program, which was mostly missing from the church's previous incarnation. L'Hommedeiu's wife, Emily, serves as the full-time children's program director.
L'Hommedieu said the shift in focus has changed the way he sees his church.
"It's a renewed commitment to our beliefs of inclusivity and diversity," he said.
