Seniors from left to right: Jillian Krick, Nina Dunay, Kristen Masullo and Jen Moyer.
The Liberty lacrosse team wraps up the regular season this weekend with a pair of Big South Conference clashes at Liberty Lacrosse Field. On Friday, the Lady Flames challenge Winthrop at 6 p.m., before contesting Longwood on Sunday at 1 p.m. for Senior Day. Prior to the contest against the Lancers, Liberty will recognize its four seniors, Nina Dunay, Jillian Krick, Kristen Masullo and Jen Moyer. How to Follow the Lady Flames Live stats will be available for this weekend's games by clicking on the live stats links on the lacrosse schedule/results page. Fans can also follow the game through periodic Twitter updates from @LUGameday and @libertywlax.
Series History The Lady Flames will be looking to make it 2-for-2 in the all-time series with Winthrop. Last season, Liberty edged the Eagles, 12-11, in double-overtime, securing an appearance in the inaugural Big South Lacrosse Championship. Against Longwood, the Lady Flames are winless in four previous contests, including a 19-12 setback on the final day of the 2013 regular season.
Last Time Out The Liberty lacrosse team concluded its regular-season road schedule last Saturday with a 16-3 setback against Big South Conference leader Davidson on a rainy afternoon at Richardson Stadium. During the contest, Morgan Becker snagged one draw control in the contest giving her 55 draws for the season, setting a new Liberty single-season record. Becker's total eclipses the old mark of 54, which was set in the 2012 season by Kacie Fogle.
One Last Go Around Liberty seniors Nina Dunay, Jillian Krick, Kristen Masullo and Jen Moyer will conclude their playing days at Liberty Lacrosse Field this weekend. The quartet has combined to play a total of 241 games over their careers, including 225 starts.

If you have been looking for members of Team USA and Team Europe around the city this week, you've been searching in the wrong place. The golfers have been hanging out mostly in the suburbs while in town for the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Ill.
Team USA -- including Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and Fred Couples -- had dinner Monday and Thursday at Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse in Lombard. Michael Jordan, who was named Team USA advisor, joined the guys Thursday at Harry Caray's and signed autographs and posed for photos with patrons.
Team Europe – including Jose Maria Olazabal, Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia -- dined Tuesday at Harry Caray's in Lombard. Team USA opted for Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse in Oak Brook that night. Woods and co. arrived on a bus and entered through the back. From what I hear, security wouldn't let anyone get close to them.
Michael Phelps took part in the Ryder Cup celebrity scramble Tuesday and joined fellow swimmer Conor Dwyer for dinner Wednesday at Joe's Stone Crab. Afterward, they met up with Bulls legend Scottie Pippen, who also took part in the celebrity scramble, and his wife Larsa Pippen, at Paris Club's upstairs lounge, Studio Paris. Phelps hung out Thursday at Bull & Bear. Pippen celebrated his birthday Monday at Sunda with Jordan, Ahmad Rashad and former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker.

State Parks Funding
California parks officials were looking to spend while shortchanging parks, documents show
The state Department of Parks and Recreation routinely searched for ways to spend extra money each June despite facing the threat of park closures and forgoing upkeep at its 278 properties, based on newly released transcripts from an internal investigation.
Testimony from 30 interviews with state employees portrays parks administrators who appeared to have the opposite problem from one long described by Gov. Jerry Brown – excess cash left over and not enough ways to spend it.
That was the case in June 2011, when the investigation found former parks administrator Manuel Thomas Lopez tapped some of the funds for a cash buyout of accumulated leave without authorization. The state Resources Agency made transcripts available late Friday from the completed report by Deputy Attorney General Corinne Murphy on Lopez's actions.
Brown's administration revealed last month that the parks department had long hidden $54 million without reporting it to the Department of Finance and state lawmakers, who have constitutional authority over spending in California. In the past year, private donors and other government agencies have contributed under the impression the parks department did not have a dime to spare. Longtime state parks director Ruth Coleman and other top officials resigned last month.
The documents depict a department that wanted to keep secret a reserve of its own special funds to hedge against future financial problems while securing – and spending – as much state general fund money each year as it could.
Department of Finance spokesman H.D. Palmer said his office was unaware that parks officials had hidden funds until July. Finance and the state Department of Justice are investigating further.
"I'm not going to get into what (our audit) is going to conclude, other than there was something very much awry in the way parks was working their budget operations," Palmer said.
In the documents, Cheryl Taylor, a former state parks budget director, described a cat-and-mouse game that parks officials played with finance officials to protect their department's share of general fund money.
The parks department is funded by fee revenues and taxpayer dollars. Taylor suggested parks officials kept a hidden surplus in the fee-based State Parks and Recreation Fund because they feared the Finance Department and lawmakers would cut the share of department funds that comes from taxpayers.
"If you exceed what you project you're going to collect (in fees), DOF would like to reduce that amount in your general fund to take the strain off the general fund," she said. "The department doesn't want to do that. So what they do – I'm going to tell you when I was there. There was probably $25 million or more sitting in the SPRF account. And we reported, I don't know, $5 million?"
Some employees described a springtime rush each year to spend money authorized by the Legislature to avoid having the funds return to the general fund budget for other purposes. They said the parks budget was so volatile that it was difficult to make accurate projections each year.
In one instance, Lopez allegedly tried to circumvent the Department of Finance by using "dummy" documents that made it look as though the parks department had entered contracts to purchase equipment, according to a transcript of an interview with Dorothy Kroll, a parks accountant. Kroll said she and other accountants struggled with the procedure because they knew "we have to face the auditor." In one case, she said, Lopez had more than $1 million allocated for a computer contract before any contract existed.
Kroll said that in "the last three fiscal years, we had a lot of money that was left on the table. And when you get to that point and it's June, it's really too late to – to really do much with it. Manuel authorized what's called – what he called programmatic encumbrances where he would have us encumber like a dummy document to reserve the funds."
She added that she refused to sign documents: "If you want anything more, Manuel, you have to sign it because I'm not putting my name on this stuff."
Lopez did not return a call Saturday for comment.
At least two officials testified that the practice of quickly burning down budgeted funds each June – right before the fiscal year ends – was widespread in California government.
"Well, I've been around the fiscal world long enough to know that you don't leave unexpended authority if you can avoid it," testified Michael Harris, who has since been fired as acting parks chief deputy director.
Harris said the problem in this instance was that Lopez "fell into the trap of thinking of it as – as his own money. that money is the department's and it needs to be spent on the department's priorities."
Kroll said that "we're closing parks, our budget's taking a hit, you know, and there was what (Lopez) and (another parks budget official) call a checkbook."
The appropriate practice is for such money to go back to the state general fund, said Natural Resources Agency spokesman Richard Stapler.
Coleman, who was not interviewed in the investigation, has repeatedly stated she did not know about the surplus. Yet testimony released Friday indicated she knew of the money. She could not be reached for comment.
In June 2011, the final month of the fiscal year, Lopez fast-tracked a vacation buyout program for himself and more than 50 other employees, suggesting that massive leave balances were too big a liability for the department. According to an investigation spreadsheet, he had 1,109 total leave hours, equal to more than 138 days. Another employee, Tina Williams, had 1,604 leave hours.
Lopez, whose Granite Bay home is underwater, made the case that buyouts were necessary because some workers were at risk of losing their homes in the face of state-ordered furloughs.
Helen Carriker, an administrator with the Department of Fish and Game, told investigators that she had told Lopez in an informal conversation that his buyout plan couldn't be done and that any such plan would have to go through the Department of Finance. Carriker observed that "the state is short cash. So – um – no. That's not going to be something that they're going to let you do right now."
But Lopez persisted. He ultimately received $28,647 last year from the buyout plan, more than any other department employee. All told, the department paid out $269,413.
The state has had limited leave buyout plans in the past, but generally limited to 40 hours or 80 hours. The Department of Personnel Administration stopped that practice in 2008 due to state budget troubles.
Lopez resigned from the agency in May, a week before he faced termination over the unauthorized leave buyout. In July, he and his wife filed for bankruptcy protection, indicating that they owed $230,000 more on their Granite Bay home than it is worth and had $86,000 in credit card debt.
He also allegedly redirected visitor revenues from parks showers and automated fee stations into accounts that bypassed oversight from the Department of Finance and state lawmakers, according to Kroll's testimony.
"What he was doing was shortchanging the revenues of this new program and putting the money in the reimbursement which allows us to use that reimbursement cash any time we need to," Kroll said.

Police have charged a man in connection with a string of hammer attacks on subway riders in Brooklyn and Queens, authorities said.
Anthony Coward, 28, of Brooklyn, is suspected in three attacks on riders, two at the same station near the MetroCard machine, police said.
He faces two charges of robbery in the Brooklyn attacks.
It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney. He said nothing to reporters as he was taken out of the police station where he'd been questioned Monday evening.
The latest victim, a 32-year-old man, was at the Rockaway Avenue C train station in Bedford-Stuyvesant at about 9:20 a.m. Wednesday when he was approached from behind and hit with the hammer.
The man fell to the ground and the suspect demanded his money. Once the victim handed over the cash, the robber took off.
In an attack on May 4, a 23-year-old man was trying to buy a MetroCard at the same C train station around 11 a.m. when he was hit on the back of the head with a hammer.
And on March 5, a 26-year-old pregnant woman was struck with a hammer near a subway station in Briarwood, Queens.
She told NBC 4 New York at the time that the suspect was wearing a black jacket and hoodie. She said she fell to her knees after he hit her, and handed him her bag. He ran off with it.

This has long been a big dream for nerds, even if the prospect has faded considerably as of late: a new trilogy of films that would pick up where Return of the Jedi left off: the Empire has fallen, the New Republic has risen from the ashes, and Luke is about to restore the Jedi Order. The exciting thing about actual sequels (as opposed to the prequels) is that we wouldn't already know what happens (unless they used the many post-original trilogy books as inspiration, which they probably wouldn't). The reasons this dream is dead are:
So maybe it's a blessing in disguise: we don't have to watch the internet get crazily worked up over new Star Wars films that would never live up to expectations no matter how good they were and we can always let "what happens next?" live in our imagination, which is probably better than whatever the reality would be. Plus, can you imagine Harrison Ford as a cranky, elderly Han Solo? I don't think anyone wants to see that. Then again, Mark Hamill could probably use the work.
The Pokemon series seems like the ideal candidate for an MMO: it's about an innately social world where various trainers battle each other and trade. The games themselves are practically MMO's already, just without anything that would actually make it an MMO. Plus, the Pokemon games are enormously popular - an MMO would be an excuse for Nintendo to print money, between game sales and monthly fees.
The problem here? Nintendo. Nintendo's always been skittish about online play for their games, because they have an absolute iron grip over their brand image. Once you unleash something like a Pokemon MMO on the masses, it'll be only a matter of seconds before there are racial slurs and other various expletives been thrown around by strangers in the PokeWorld. Pokemon is family-friendly (at least, as "family-friendly" as a game about monsters brutalizing each other for the delight of children can be) - and Nintendo aims to keep it that way.
Nintendo publicly has been insistent that the reason for the lack of a Pokemon MMO is that they prefer all the socializing to be done in real life - bringing it to an online arena would pretty much kill that aspect. That's why Nintendo has used the "friend codes" for their online ventures - to ensure you never interact with anyone you don't know. So don't expect to hear any swear words in Pokemon anytime soon (minus Professor Oak calling his grandson "ASS" or whatever inventive expletive you named him).
"It's gonna be the best game ever." - Peter Molyneux, on Fable"There's some mechanics in there that just didn't work. There's some other mechanics that are brilliant that are never shown off properly. The story wasn't told with any great skill." - Peter Molyneux, on Fable"Players will be able to adjust the volume from 1 to 100 in increments of 1. You could play the game 100 times and have an entirely different experience." - Peter Molyneux, on Fable II"Fable II's story was rubbish." - Peter Molyneux, on Fable II
The least credible source for upcoming games by Peter Molyneux is very clearly none other than Peter Molyneux. He tends to promise worlds where anything is possible, everything can change, everyone will have a totally unique and exciting experience, and....well, it never quite pans out that way, and he tries to explain it away by saying whatever his last game was sucked but the new one will live up to all of the promises! It's become a predictable cycle, but dang if it's hard not to fall for it every single time. It's too bad though, because the games that Peter Molyneux describes are incredible, deep, life-altering games.
If we want to fool ourselves, there may be hope: Molyneux recently left Lionhead and Microsoft (where he overhyped Black & White and the Fable series) to strike out on his own again. He's been careful in recent years to try to not overhype things, he did have this to say:
"Although I'm not going to talk about the idea, I will say there are so many ingredients that go to make up an amazing game now, and those ingredients just didn't exist even a few months ago."
There it is. Is he saying the reason the old games weren't amazing was because the ingredients simply didn't exist? Regardless, they exist now. Destroy our expectations once again, Pete.
Nerds tend to be completionists - it's why George Lucas has been able to re-release the same Star Wars movies on DVD about 20 times, it's why people go crazy to get every achievement/trophy in videogames, and it's why they like to own everything associated with something they like. Nerds love Dr. Who, and rightfully so - it's a sci-fi institution, and there's really nothing else like it in entertainment. The issue here is that the BBC accidentally erased huge libraries of old episodes, thinking they were essentially worthless. Over 100 episodes from the 60's (1st and 2nd Doctor eras) are lost forever.
The only hope to get any of them back? Find random people or stations who may have tapes of the episodes. Except this was a time before VCR's, so the odds of anyone taping them were slim-to-nil. A few episodes seem to re-surface every year, but it's a very slight trickle at this point, and there are whole serials where not a single episode has been found intact, and probably never will be. And not to stoke any fires, but I heard there's one from the 60's that shows the entire Time War in vivid detail.
It's time to face reality - Nathan Fillion will only ever be beloved and well-known amongst moms (for Castle) and nerds (for everything else). Joss Whedon sure as hell tried - casting him as the lead in Firefly, putting him in Buffy once Firefly got cancelled, giving him Captain Hammer in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, etc. But the crossover appeal of a more self-aware Harrison Ford was never meant to be. He's too old to get anything blockbustery that would expose him to the rest of the world (fans tried to get him cast as Green Lantern - but given how badly that turned out, maybe it was a blessing in disguise he didn't get it).
So instead of this generation's Harrison Ford, he's stuck being this generation's Bruce Campbell (which, all things considered, isn't a bad gig).

In Her Own Words: Living With Anorexia and Bulimia
As told to Debra Wood, RN
Joanne is a dietitian living in Illinois. She began restricting her food intake and vomiting while in high school, but she believes the roots of her eating disorder date back much further. In college, she tried to stop on her own. Once she recognized that she needed help, she sought treatment for anorexia and bulimia. Today, at age 25, she has fully recovered.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
I first showed signs of anorexia in 1991, when I was a sophomore in high school. I began limiting food. I was a synchronized swimmer and wanted to lose weight to look better in a bathing suit. Rather than eating lunch, I'd study or talk to friends. I stayed late at school and skipped dinner. I exercised compulsively, sometimes working out all night. I didn't want to sleep, because I wouldn't be burning any calories. Keeping up the self-starvation became more difficult when I started going to Sweet 16 parties. I'd eat a salad or soup, a binge for me at that time. To compensate, I began purging and taking pills—laxatives, diet pills, water pills—25 or 30 a day.
I lost weight. I always felt cold and often lightheaded. I fainted. I was very moody and temperamental. Toward the end, I developed fine baby hair on my tummy (a symptom of anorexia). The enamel on my teeth eroded from the stomach acid coming back up when I vomited. I needed many fillings. I still suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease. All the throwing up I did caused my lower esophageal sphincter to loosen.
When I went to college, at a school far from home, I thought of it as starting fresh. No one knew about my eating disorder. I behaved like a normal freshman and gained 15 pounds. I didn't like the added weight. My clothes didn't fit. I thought I was ugly and fat. By winter break, I knew I had to do something to shed the pounds, so I began writing down everything I ate, taking pills, and removing myself from social activities.
What was the whole diagnosis experience like?
Going to my pediatrician was not an option. She had started me dieting in third grade and sent me to Weight Watchers in fifth, planting the seed that I was fat.
My turning point came at the end of my freshman year. I called home and told my mom that I wanted to see someone about my eating disorder. She made an appointment for me with a psychiatrist. He wanted me to enter a day-treatment program, but they didn't allow participants to be vegetarian (which I was). I knew it wasn't for me. I found another psychiatrist who was easy to talk with.
What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?
I knew I had an eating disorder. My recovery was quicker and more permanent than others because I made the decision that I didn't want to do it anymore. I didn't want to live the life of an anorexic or bulimic. Thinking about your body 98% of the time and feeling horrible is a waste of time. I knew I needed to do something to feel good about myself. I'd never resort back to restricting or purging. It's not worth it.
How was your disease treated?
The psychiatrist started me on a high dose of an SSRI antidepressant, then weaned me down. We decided on a Weight Watchers food plan, which includes eating a healthy amount of calories and weighing in weekly. My mother went with me. I learned to eat healthy and lost 15 pounds, without going to extremes. I returned to college and followed up with a psychiatrist.
Did you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to your illness?
I eat balanced meals with things from all food groups, even meat. I had stopped exercising, because I was obsessed with it and I was scared to start again. Now I walk on a treadmill, swim, and work out in moderation.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
Just seeing the psychiatrist. My friends were wonderful throughout my recovery.
Did/does your condition have any impact on your family?
My family was very supportive, but we didn't sit and talk about it. My parents and I have a great relationship.
What advice would you give to anyone living with this disease?
There are so many better things on the other side of the rainbow. It may be hard to get there, but once you're there, you'll never want to go back. Call the ANAD hotline at 847-831-3438 for information about eating disorders and professionally run support groups, and referrals to treatment centers and therapists around the world.
Interviews were conducted in the past and may not reflect current standards and practices in medicine. Talk to your doctor to learn more about how this condition is diagnosed and managed today and what treatment approaches are right for you.

These Olympics will be remembered fondly — in some parts — as the Title IX Games
They have come here from more than 200 countries speaking dozens of languages to put on the world's grandest sporting event, but this time it doubles as a revolution. Some of the best athletes on planet Earth are all over this great city, and they've already made history.
Historical precedent is being set with thighs like oak trunks, arms like lightning, abs like washboards and calves like jet fuel. Skin color as different as the Swedes and Kenyans. Specialties as different as trampoline and boxing. Hometowns as different as Tokyo and Leavenworth, Kan.
The revolution is powerful and diverse — and it is led by athletes named Jessica and Gabby and Hope.
For the next two weeks, these will be the Olympics of Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt and Team USA men's basketball. But when history remembers these games, it will be about the women. Lots and lots of women. The Title IX Olympics.
"The development of women in sports is huge," says Mariel Zagunis, a two-time gold-medal fencer who carried the flag for Team USA during the opening ceremonies. "I am where I am today because of the women who paved the way. They were the ones who fought for our rights."
We've never seen this many women pushing athletic limits at the Olympics — an important symbol at the world's most high-profile sporting event.
The United States is represented by more women than men for the first time ever. Russia also has more women competing. One hundred and twelve years after women were first allowed to compete, and 108 years after they were first awarded medals, more women will compete in these games than ever before, whether you count by percentage (45 percent) or total (4,860).
For the first time, every participating country has a woman athlete competing.
Oppressive cultures in Saudi Arabia and Qatar are represented by women for the first time. Women's boxing is new, so that women now compete in every Olympic sport. The host country's poster athlete is a woman — heptathlete Jessica Ennis' face is everywhere here.
Seoul had Ben Johnson's steroids bust in 1988, Barcelona had the Dream Team in 1992, and Beijing opened the world to much of China in 2008. These games in London just may be remembered as a critical brick in building an overdue sports stage for our world's women.
And for that, we can thank a woman known as Bunny.
Born in New York City, Bernice "Bunny" Sandler, who is 83 years old, has been dubbed "the Godmother of Title IX" by the New York Times. She's a senior scholar at the Women's Research and Education Institute in Washington, D.C., an adjunct associate professor at Drexel University College of Medicine and the author of numerous articles on gender equity. She's a living pioneer, the driving force behind the development and passage of legislation that four decades ago opened doors for today's female Olympians.
Sandler never imagined she'd have this kind of reach in 1972, when she and others drafted and championed 37 words of legislation that would change the world:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
"I specifically remember this," Sandler says today. "I remember saying to someone, 'Isn't this great? On field day [at schools], there's going to be more activities for girls.' "
Back then, sports were a man's domain. Some worried about women competing too hard — "that their uteruses would fall out or something," Sandler says.
When Title IX took effect 40 years ago, signed into law by President Richard Nixon, sexism and sexual harassment were foreign terms. It wasn't that women weren't victims of discrimination; it's just that we didn't have a good name for it yet.
Passage of the bill into law eventually even shook our country's sports landscape, and residual progress in social interactions and the business world followed. Twelve bills have been introduced to weaken Title IX's oversight of sports since its implementation. Five made it to a vote, but none has passed.
In the next two weeks, more women will compete in London than had been in every Olympics combined before Title IX's passage. That's not a coincidence. Polls show that 80 percent of Americans support Title IX, and it's easy to see why.
"It's all about timing, for me to grow up and have so many opportunities," says Zagunis, the fencer. "And to have it be no question. It wasn't, 'If I will play;' it's, 'What sport will I play?' "
Serena Williams has earned more than $38 million, and that's just for playing tennis. U.S. women's soccer has turned into a star-maker that would've been impossible to imagine 40 years ago, catapulting Hope Solo and Alex Morgan into commercials and higher tax brackets.
Male athletes are still generally more marketable than female athletes, but Title IX pushed America, and America is pulling up the rest of the world.
In 2000, a little over a year after showing the world her sports bra when the U.S. team won the Women's World Cup, Brandi Chastain proudly pointed out the good side of losing the Olympic gold-medal soccer game to Norway. The fact that the match had been such a high-profile event proved that women's sports were progressing.
The most important aspect of this isn't the athletic achievements, as admirable as they may be, but what those achievements have fostered in our culture. Sports is a great machine for social progress — witness Jackie Robinson's role in the Civil Rights movement.
"What we are seeing with the London Olympics is a reflection of the growth and impact of Title IX," Billie Jean King, the tennis icon and a leading voice for women's sports, told reporters recently. "We now have a stronger foundation for future generations of female Olympians, and we need to remain committed to sustaining this movement and the progress we are making, here in the USA and globally."
That last part is important. For all the progress that's been made, more is still needed.
Medals collected by female athletes and teams in London over the next 17 days will help.
Storylines might come from Claressa "T-Rex" Shields, a 17-year-old boxer from Flint, Mich. Women's boxing was added to the Olympics for the first time this year, and Shields is the youngest on the inaugural American squad.
Or American swimmer Missy Franklin, also young at 17. Nicknamed "The Missile" for her prowess in the pool, this native of Colorado will have the opportunity to win multiple medals in the next two weeks.
Maybe one day she'll catch up to Natalie Coughlin, 29, another swimmer who on Saturday tied fellow Americans Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres as our country's most decorated female Olympians of all-time with a staggering 12th medal — which Coughlin received for her role on the 4x100 relay team, even though she didn't swim in the finals.
Perhaps we'll be captivated by Malaysian shooter Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi, who's competing during these games despite the fact that she's more than eight months pregnant.
Or two-time U.S. champion gymnast Jordyn Wieber, a 17-year-old Michigan native who won the all-around title at the 2011 World Championships. Wieber's teammate, little Gabby Douglas, is another to watch. Born in Virginia but trained in Des Moines, she showed off the depth of the U.S. team by beating Wieber at the U.S. Olympic Trials.
And then there's American sprinter Allyson Felix. Denied 200-meter gold by Jamaican adversary Veronica Campbell-Brown in both 2004 and 2008, this could be the year the 26-year-old Californian earns some measure of vindication.
The fact that we'll have so many talented women to watch, not just from our own country but abroad, is testament to the legacy of Title IX.
An interesting footnote for the historical record: If the American men's soccer team hadn't given up a last-minute goal to El Salvador in a qualifying match, it likely would've made it to these Olympics and given Team USA more men than women.
Some countries, like Japan and Australia, flew their men's teams to London business class while their women flew coach. The popularity and marketability of female athletes still relies on physical appearance far more than it does for male athletes.
And there's the prism through which we should view these games: More remains to be done. Greater acceptance and promotion of gender equality in America only exposes the backward thinking in other places.
Saudi Arabia, for instance, is taking a real step this summer in allowing women to compete. But the Saudis did so only under intense pressure from the outside world. One of their women, Sarah Attar, was born and raised in California and speaks no Arabic. Her family asked Pepperdine, where she runs track, to delete pictures and names of relatives from her online profile.
As Olympic historian David Wallechinsky points out, the important thing isn't whether Attar and other women from traditionally oppressive countries can compete as much as whether they can be celebrated in those countries. Symbolism matters, but only if the message gets across.
"I just think, do you really think they're going to show her running in Saudi Arabia?" Wallechinsky says. "You really think they'll be uplifted?"
This is where we can be reminded of the progress still to be made, even back home in America. Participation in girls high school sports has risen 900 percent since the passage of Title IX. But Sandler — the godmother of that pivotal legislation — points out that girls in the U.S. still have fewer opportunities today than boys did 40 years ago.
The revolution continues.

Making Easy, No-Sew Window Treatments
If you're looking to update a room with a fresh, modern look, then try these fun, no-sew "shades." You make this shade with adjacent squares of paper covered with clear Contac paper, which is a great material to work with for many reasons: It allows in light, while still offering some privacy, and it's cheap and easy to use, so you can change your mind often, or redecorate your window for each season, holiday, whatever your whim.
This simple project gives any informal room a fun feeling. Consider making this shade for a modern bedroom, where the square panels are echoed elsewhere in your decor. Try it in a child's bathroom or bedroom; it's a great opportunity to let your kids' artwork have a better place to shine than the refrigerator door.
To create a hanging window shade, apply clear Contac paper over equal-size pieces of paper, which laminates the images so they stay in place and the shade pieces maintain their integrity.
Gathering your gear
Before you start on your project, get the following items ready:
Any kind of interesting paper that matches your décor.
Some ideas include colorful construction paper, a color-page sheet from a newspaper (check out foreign-language newspapers if you're matching an ethnic decor), beautiful wallpaper or wrapping paper, vintage greeting cards, color copies of photos, images from children's books, or anything you like. For kids' rooms, try spelling out names, words, or messages by using a letter on each Contac-covered square.
To figure out how many squares you need, follow these steps:
1. Measure your window length and width.
2. Figure how many identically sized squares you need to reach your windowsill, interspersed with 2-inch clips between each square.
Try 4 x 4-inch squares because they break down nicely for a 30 x 60-inch window and provide a variety of images. For a window of this size, use about seven or eight rows of squares, and they'll be ten squares long each, with 2-inch paper clips between each square. You can do the simple math; now get cracking on finding all those images!
- 6 yards of clear Contac paper
- Curtain clips
- Curtain rod
- Hole puncher
- Scissors or paper cutter
- One box of 2-inch paper clips
- Because paper clips can vary in style and color from company to company, use all your paper clips from one box for a uniform appearance.
Making your shade
To create your shade, follow these steps:
1. Cut your decorative paper into 4 x 4-inch squares, enough to fill your window.
2. Apply one layer of the clear Contac over one side of the decorative paper and then the opposite side.
Doing so "laminates" the image, suspending it between the Contac paper.
3. Cut the Contac paper–covered image leaving a 1/2-inch edge of Contac around each square.
4. Punch a hole at the top and bottom of each square, being sure to keep the holes within the 1/2-inch of clear Contac paper.
5. Arrange the squares in columns and attach with large paper clips.
Be sure to only punch one hole at the top for the bottom squares.
6. Attach the top paper clips to your curtain clips.
7. String along your rod and hang.

Iraq Intelligence
British documents portray determined U.S. march to war
WASHINGTON—Highly classified documents leaked in Britain appear to provide new evidence that President Bush and his national security team decided to invade Iraq much earlier than they have acknowledged and marched to war without dwelling on the potential perils.
The half-dozen memos and option papers, written by top aides to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, buttress previous on-the-record accounts that portray Bush and his advisers as predisposed to oust Saddam Hussein when they took office—and determined to do it at all costs after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Blair is Bush's closest global partner, and the documents, startlingly frank at times, were never meant to become public.
Now they have rocketed around the Internet and been seized on by opponents of the Iraq war as evidence that the president and his administration were not leveling with the American people about their war preparations.
By mid-March 2002, a year before the invasion of Iraq, top British officials were already so resigned to a war that they seemed preoccupied mostly with building international support and finding a legal justification.
That was just six weeks after Bush declared Iraq a member of the "axis of evil."
But Blair's advisers repeatedly expressed concern that the case against Saddam was weak and that the White House wasn't giving nearly enough attention to what would happen after he was toppled.
"The U.S. government's military planning for action against Iraq is proceeding apace. But as yet, it lacks a political framework. In particular, little thought has been given to creating the political conditions for military action, or the aftermath and how to shape it," stated a July 21, 2002, briefing paper prepared for a meeting of Blair's advisers two days later.
"A post-war occupation of Iraq could lead to a protracted and costly nation-building exercise," it stated.
Bush and Blair forcefully denied in a news conference this month that they were fixated on war.
"There's nothing farther from the truth. My conversations with the prime minister were how can we do this peacefully," Bush said. "We worked hard to figure out how we could do this peacefully."
Neither the U.S. government nor the British government has disputed the memos' authenticity.
The release of the documents comes at a bad time for Bush. He faces growing congressional and public unease after 27 months of war in Iraq. Opinion polls show public support for the Iraq war at or near all-time lows.
"It's not collapsing. ... (But) there are signs people are becoming uneasy," said Christopher Gelpi, a Duke University political science professor who studies public opinion and the use of force.
Gelpi said the impact of the British memos is unclear, since they haven't received wide media attention until recently. "The notion that the public has been lied to could have a very toxic effect on public support," he said.
Precisely when Bush made an irrevocable decision to invade Iraq remains murky.
"We still don't know—and this is not unusual—exactly when the presidential decision was made," said journalist James Mann, author of "Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet."
The White House maintains it tried to avert war almost until the last minute.
Despite the outcry over the British documents, which have come to be known as the "Downing Street memos," much of what they say was known—or knowable—at the time, Mann said.
It's well documented that Bush began looking at military options for overthrowing Saddam's regime as early as November 2001, with formal military planning beginning early in 2002.
Knight Ridder, for example, reported on Feb. 13, 2002, that the president had decided in principle on overthrowing the Iraqi leader and ordered "a combination of military, diplomatic and covert steps" to achieve that goal.
Six days later, then-Sen. Bob Graham, D-Fla., visited U.S. Central Command headquarters and, Graham said in a memoir, was told by Gen. Tommy Franks that despite ongoing operations in Afghanistan, "military and intelligence personnel are being redeployed to prepare for an action in Iraq." Franks denied making the comment.
Richard Haass, the State Department's director of policy planning, told an interviewer that in an early July 2002 chat with then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, he questioned putting Iraq at the center of the U.S. war against terrorism. He said Rice advised him "essentially, that that decision's been made, don't waste your breath."
The British memos document in crisp, sometimes wry, prose how advanced political preparations were even more than a year before the March 2003 invasion.
Moreover, they echo other accounts of Bush's determination to unseat Saddam, who once tried to assassinate his father.
In a March 22, 2002, letter to British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, Blair political adviser Peter Ricketts advised steering the public rationale for war away from "regime change."
"'Regime change' does not stack up. It sounds like a grudge between Bush and Saddam," Ricketts wrote.
Bush came into office with aides, including Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, who believed that the United States erred gravely by allowing Saddam to remain in power after the 1991 Gulf War.
Four days after the Sept. 11 attacks, during a crisis meeting at Camp David, Wolfowitz argued for attacking Iraq in response, as first recounted in journalist Bob Woodward's book "Plan of Attack."
Later that month, Wolfowitz helped arrange a trip by former CIA Director James Woolsey to the United Kingdom to look for evidence of an Iraqi role in Sept. 11.
Richard Clarke, at the time a veteran White House counterterrorism official, has written that Bush ordered him to look for the same evidence the day after the attacks.
The search for evidence, along with claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs, continued for more than a year.
No Iraqi link to Sept. 11 has been found, and most of the intelligence about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction has since proved to be bogus.
In that sense, the British memos seem almost prophetic.
"Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy," Sir Richard Dearlove, head of Britain's MI-6 spy service, told Blair and his top advisers after talks in Washington, according to the first memo to be leaked. It was dated July 23, 2002.
"US scrambling to establish a link between Iraq and al (Qaida) is so far frankly unconvincing," Ricketts reported earlier in his March 2002 letter to Straw.
In his own letter to Blair three days later, Straw also seemed to question the scale of the threat. "In the documents so far presented, it has been hard to glean whether the threat from Iraq is so significantly different from that of Iran and North Korea as to justify military action," he wrote.
All of the documents leaked thus far—by persons unknown—date before Bush's August 2002 decision to take his case against Saddam to the United Nations, as recommended by then-Secretary of State Colin Powell.
While Bush continues to assert that he tried diplomacy, things looked different in the spring and summer of 2002, at least as seen through the prism of the British government.
Blair's advisers found a deep distrust of the United Nations in Washington.
The National Security Council, led by Rice, "has no patience with the U.N. route," according to Dearlove's report to Blair and his advisers at the July 23, 2002, meeting.
In yet another memo, Christopher Meyer, then Blair's ambassador to Washington, said he met with Wolfowitz on March 17, 2002, and discussed how to build support for military action. "I then went through the need to wrongfoot Saddam on the inspectors," Meyer reported to London.
The two governments discussed ways to craft an ultimatum to Saddam on U.N. weapons inspectors that he would be sure to reject, providing an excuse for war and a path to building international support.
Said Mann: "Going to the U.N. was always a box to be checked and a necessity for winning the support of the British government."

"When you're on a tight budget, the thought of preparing tasty, healthy meals on a regular basis can seem daunting. Not only is it easy to get sucked in by grocery merchandising tricks, but it's also normal for most of us to fall into a mealtime rut, eating the same foods over and over. But you're in control of your kitchen—and if you cook smart, you can enjoy the first-class meals you deserve.
You can save money and still have quality. If you've been using cost as an excuse to eat junk, you can kiss that excuse goodbye! With a little organization and creativity, you can have the proverbial champagne when cooking on a beer budget. To start, here's a quick review of basic tips of healthy eating:
- Limit your intake of junk food and alcohol
- Drink lots of water (at least 8 cups a day)
- Limit salty and sugary foods
- Avoid eating many foods that are high in saturated fats
- Make "variety" the watchword of your eating
Don't be afraid to surf the internet for recipes that use specific ingredients (plug the ingredient in as a keyword of your search), since you can often get good buys on breads, meats, and other items marked for quick sale before they go bad.
Stock your fridge and cupboards with items that are quick and easy to cook (yet kind to your wallet):
- Beans and lentils, whether canned or dried, make nutritious, hearty soups, and can be a main course with the addition of fresh vegetables or rice.
- Brown Rice is a great addition to leftover meat and veggies. Although brown rice is slightly more expensive than white, the nutritional payoff is well worth it. Another inexpensive, easy-to-fix grain, millet, is best when bought fresh. Simply rinse and toast before using it in recipes.
- Pasta, likewise, is quick and easy to prepare, and can be paired with veggies, meat, or a fresh salad. Have fun adding your own embellishments (mushrooms, spices, and herbs.) Choose whole-wheat pasta whenever available.
- Soups can't be beat for nutrition and convenience, especially since you can use canned or packet soups as your base, then add your own veggies and leftover meat. Again, try to experiment, adding your own herbs and spices.
- Fresh vegetables and fruit should be bought at least once or twice each week, preferably in season, to ensure optimal taste and nutrition. You can also rely on canned/frozen varieties as handy additions to last-minute meals. Veggies make great stir-fries and vegetable patties, while fruit is good for a quick nutritious snack.
- Meat and fish can be kept on hand also for last-minute meals— try the newer tuna and salmon pouches, and shop for inexpensive cuts of meat that work well in stews and casseroles.
- Condiments add flavor and interest to your dishes. Keep a selection of dried herbs, spices, curry powder, marinades, vinegars, tomato and soy sauces, along with stock cubes, in your cupboard. Experiment with the new, such as Japanese miso, an aged salty condiment made from soybeans and various other ingredients (found in the natural foods section, usually refrigerated).
- When cooking a big meal, make extra to freeze, or use later in the week for lunches or quick suppers. Double recipes, then freeze half.
- Save your vegetable trimmings to make your own vegetable stock. Not only do you save money, but vegetable stock also makes a nutritious base for casseroles, soups, and Crockpot cooking.
- Buying in bulk is almost always cheaper; you can freeze perishable items (such as meat, milk, and even bread) in smaller portions to use as needed. It's always a good idea to buy non-perishable items in bulk (canned foods, dried beans and grains, etc.).
- Use less expensive cuts of meat for casseroles that you slow cook; add extra vegetables and beans to make the meal go further.
- Capitalize on one-pot dishes, which generally save prep time, money, and dishwashing, and often make great leftovers.
- Look high and low (literally) to find the less expensive generic or store brands on grocery shelves, often very similar to higher-priced brand names though packaged under different labels. Stores deliberately place the highest-priced brand-name items at eye level, but if you compare the cost per unit, you'll be able to figure out the most cost-effective purchase. You can even try your own taste tests— blind, of course— to see where you can save money without sacrificing flavor.
- Take advantage of specials on staples—broth, soups, pasta, rice, canned veggies, even bread and meat. Many of these items have a long shelf life or can be frozen for short periods of time.
- Limit your dining out, especially when it comes to fast food, since you'll find yourself spending unnecessarily on items that are high in fat, salt, and calories, which short-change you in the nutrition department.

The sweetness of bell peppers — they're never hot, unlike nearly all of their relatives — is especially pronounced in summer, which is also when you're most likely to wind up with one that was grown domestically. Even a green pepper — which is unripe — is sweeter when the weather is hot.
A good red pepper is the sweetest and most flavorful of the lot — yellow and orange are simply other varieties — but there's no denying that a multicolored tangle of peppers is a beautiful thing, and that even the relative bitterness of green peppers adds complexity to the mix. In any case, you can use any color pepper you like in any of these recipes.
Unless noted, use a pound of peppers in all of them. That's roughly equivalent to two whole large peppers, three cups sliced or 2 1/2 cups chopped. Core and seed everything. My favorite method is just to cut around the core, standing the pepper up and slicing it like an apple from the outside.
One of the most basic and wonderful preparations for bell peppers is roasting; a roasted red pepper with olive oil, capers or anchovies (or all three) remains one of the great, simple joys of this territory. Put whole peppers on a baking sheet lined with foil and roast in a 450-degree oven, or broil, turning the peppers as each side browns, until they have darkened, even blackened, and collapsed. (A hot grill is even better.) Gather the corners of the foil and wrap up the peppers; cool until you can handle them, about 15 minutes, then remove the blackened skin and seeds. (Do this under running water to make it easier; you probably won't get all the skin off, and that's O.K.)
The recipes are thorough, but far from exhaustive. Peppers combine beautifully with eggs, with vinegar and with eggplant and probably a dozen other ingredients I didn't have the space to get to.Continue reading the main story

NBC's Olympics coverage 'a glimpse into the future'
Back in 2008, the year he began working at NBC Sports, Tom Seeley oversaw coverage for the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing from the modest-yet-convenient perch of a nondescript office space in downtown Stamford's Landmark Square.
As the person in charge of the network's Olympics website, Seeley managed a team of roughly 65 people, most of them short-term freelancers, who spent their time huddled in cubicles watching video streams of live competitions and then promptly reporting the results for web and mobile phone users.
Flash forward to today.
Seeley, now the vice president of editorial for NBCSports.com, occupies a glass-paneled office overlooking a sleek open newsroom housed in a cavernous 300,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that includes offices, as well as production studios. Originally home to a Clairol factory, the new headquarters for NBC Sports officially opened last summer after a $100 million renovation. The site employs about 400 people, roughly 200 of which are dedicated to working on the Sochi Olympics.
The transformation of NBC's Stamford operations, from a barebones office to a sophisticated and critical centerpiece of NBC's Olympics broadcast, highlights one of the biggest changes in the television industry.
"We love television, but the future is not just about television," said Alan Wurtzel, the president of research and media development for NBC, during a media conference call last week. "It's about television complemented with all of the other platforms that we have."
Since 2008, NBC has significantly expanded its digital content -- for Sochi, all the events, or the equivalent of more than 1,000 hours of coverage, are being streamed live over the Internet. It has also adapted to new technology. In 2008, the iPad did not exist, a device that Seeley credits as a game changer.
"It's about putting the power of broadcast in your hands," he said.
The network now produces three original shows, all out of its studios in Stamford, for NBCOlympics.com. And just as it had for the Summer Games in London in 2012, there are two mobile apps for Sochi. The NBC Sports Live Extra app enables live streaming on a phone or tablet device; the Olympic Highlights and Results app gives schedules, live scores as well as athlete profiles and replays of memorable events. It also includes a "Primetime Companion" or "second-screen" feature, which enables those watching primetime coverage on TV to view related content simultaneously on a mobile device.
While it may seem like Olympic overload, NBC has said that the strategy is working. As of last week, the network reported 30 million visitors to the website and apps, a 54 percent growth over the 2010 Winter Games held in Vancouver. Its digital revenues have been described as "in the $25 to $50 million range."
Part of its success is due to the phenomenon of viral videos. NBC has relied on not only sporting highlights, but also bloopers and the occasionally odd performance. During the opening ceremony, an unexpectedly spirited rendition of the popular hit song "Get Lucky" by a stiff array of uniformed Russian police officers earned 1.2 million hits. Later, a video of Russian speedskater Olga Graf mistakenly unzipping her tracksuit down to her navel after a race garnered 2.5 million hits.
Seeley, who approves the clips before they are posted, said producers have a general sense of what types of content will resonate with viewers. "It's really trying to catch lightening in a bottle," he said.
Each video is preceded by a 15-second commercial. In the end, "It's a hits-driven business," Seeley said.
Social media, most of which is being driven by a team in Sochi, has been another key component. According to NBC, 86 percent of Twitter users, or about 17 million people, who came across a TV-related Tweet saw at least one that was about the Olympics.
Despite the abundance of content both online and on television -- five NBC networks are carrying the Olympics -- criticism of the coverage has persisted. On its decision not to present a live telecast of this year's opening ceremony, Twitter protests using the hashtag #NBCFail resurfaced after initially trending during the 2012 Games in London. Others have continued to take exception to the live streaming restriction that requires viewers to undergo an authentication process to prove that they are subscribers of cable or satellite.
In 2012, the network responded to the outcry by dropping the pay wall for a highly anticipated swimming match-up between Michael Phelps and Brian Lochte.
But such decisions, made by top NBC executives, are rare exceptions, according to Seeley. He said he did not know of any plans to do the same in Sochi. As part of a prearranged concession, online users without cable or satellite can watch 30 minutes of live streaming coverage for free on the first visit and five minutes per day after that.
With all the emphasis on digital, the question has becomes whether television, especially tape-delayed programming, is at risk of becoming an afterthought with Olympic viewers. NBC has consistently denied that.
"It's all additive," Seeley said.
On Friday, NBC issued a news release reporting nearly 151 million Americans, or more than half of the television viewers, have tuned into the Sochi Olympics.
Days before that, Wurtzel on the conference call with reporters described the network's strategy as "a virtual circle," whereby digital audiences are led back to television.
"I think that that's a model for the way these businesses are going to be, you know, looking going forward," he said. "The Olympics has always been for us, kind of a glimpse into the future."

Shannon Cooper who was arrested for cheering too loudly at her daughter's high school graduation.
Updated at 4:49 p.m. ET: A South Carolina mother says she was humiliated when she was arrested during her daughter's high school graduation last weekend in Florence, S.C., for cheering too loudly.
But police say Shannon Cooper's shouting was nothing short of disorderly conduct.
"I am still living in shock," Cooper told msnbc.com. "It all seems like a bad dream, a nightmare of what was to be one of the happiest days of our lives. I cheered for my baby and I got the cuffs."
Cooper said she was whooping it up when her 18-year-old daughter, Christin Iesha Cooper, walked across the stage to get her diploma from South Florence High School on June 2.
"I am a proud mom," said Cooper, a beautician from Florence. "And as soon as they said 'Christin' I stood up, started praising, woohooing and cheering it up for my baby. I was like 'Go baby! You did it'."
Florence Police Chief Anson Shells said people attending the ceremony had been warned to behave during commencement ceremonies. If they failed to do so, they would be escorted out, he said.
"The school district made an announcement and sent out letters to all of the parents for everyone to be as orderly as they can during the ceremony and so on and so forth," Shells told msnbc.com. "That was the rule."
Cooper doesn't think she did anything wrong. She said police arrested her as she made her way down the stairs and onto the auditorium's main floor. She said officers walked her across the Florence Civic Center, where the graduation ceremony was being held, in full view of everyone.
"The police officer pointed his finger at me and said 'Stop right here. The lady right there in white, she's going to jail'," Cooper said. "The whole time I was thinking in my mind 'Are you all serious? You for real?' I didn't say anything. I was shocked."

Cooper was charged with disorderly conduct and booked in Florence County Detention Center, where she stayed for several hours until posting a $225 bond, according to WPDE-TV, an ABC affiliate in Myrtle Beach, S.C. "I didn't do any more than the others did. Which I feel like no one should have gone to jail," she said.
Cooper's daughter told WPDE-TV she didn't know what had happened to her mom until her friends filled her in. "They're locking your momma up for cheering -- and I was like that isn't right because other people were cheering and they didn't lock them up," she said.
Shells told msnbc.com two others were arrested during the commencement service.
"They were disruptive enough that officers felt they had to be removed and that they had violated the law," Shells said.
Shells said 30 officers were stationed at the convention center that evening to monitor a crowd of 9,000 people. South Florence High School had 407 students graduating that night, he said.
"According to the report, she was disruptive during the ceremony and ceremonies are considered solemn occasions," Shells said. "Everybody wants to hear their child's name called and everyone was asked to be respectful and to be quiet."
Cooper said the family celebrated her daughter's special day on Sunday with a barbecue. She said she wants to put the day behind her, but finds it difficult at the moment.
Said Cooper: "Disorderly conduct? What's the disorderly conduct? How was I so disorderly you know any different from just a happy parent? It was a lot of hard work to get my baby to this point, you know? I wanted to celebrate. I wanted to shout out my joy."

Egypt's small Jewish community will refuse Israeli offers of financial help for the renovation of Egypt's ancient Jewish synagogues, Al-Ahram's Arabic-language news website reported on Tuesday.
Magda Haroun, the new leader of Egypt's Jewish community, told Al-Ahram that she plans to contact UN heritage organisation UNESCO if she failed to find adequate funds for synagogue renovation.
Haroun stressed that Egypt's Jewish monuments belonged to Egypt's historical heritage, which extends over a very long period.
"Jewish temples are like the pyramids and the Sphinx," she said. "They are a part of Egypt's history that cannot be ignored."
"The sons of this community are Egyptians. We will live forever in Egypt because religion is for God and the nation is for everybody," Haroun said.
She expects to be the shrinking Jewish community's last leader, and, as such, has vowed to protect Egypt's Jewish heritage as much as possible.
Haroun also announced that the funeral for Carmen Weinstein, the Jewish community's former leader, would be held on Thursday at 2pm.
Weinstein died on Saturday of natural causes at the age of 84.
According to estimates, less than 100 Egyptian Jews still live in the country.

For folk artist Derek Lee Bishop of Pendleton, Indiana activism means more than writing a chorus to be chanted at rallies, it means taking action – and with the release of his debut L.P.
