BEAUMONT, Calif. -
Complete Results in PDF Format
Senior Tyler Weir shot an even-par 216 to tie for fourth-place and help UC Santa Barbara to a fourth-place finish at UC Riverside's Braveheart Classic at the Oak Valley Golf Course in Beaumont, Calif., on Tuesday.
Perhaps the most significant development, however, was the loss of Andrew Gunson, one of the team's top players, who injured his hand on the final hole of the second round on Monday.
"We had to play the final round with just four players," said Gaucho head coach Steve Lass. "The question of whether we would have held on and won the tournament if Andrew hadn't gotten hurt is insignificant. The question is whether he will be able to play in the conference tournament, and right now we don't know."
The league tournament is next-up for UCSB. The Big West Championship will be held on May 2-3 at the Mission Viejo Country Club in Mission Viejo, Calif.
The Gauchos were tied for the team-lead with St. Mary's after two rounds at 6-over par 582. Gunson was the team's leader at 1-under par 143, good for fourth-place, but he was unable to return Tuesday.
Weir did his best to pick-up the slack as he carded a 3-under par 69 in the final round.
Sophomore Glen Scher finish tied for 16th at 4-over par 220, while Paul Otte tied for 30th at 9-over 225.
UCSB finished with three-round score of 879, two shots back of third-place St. Mary's, seven back of Loyola Marymount and nine behind the team champions, Long Beach State.
Jake Sarnoff of Loyola Marymount won the tourney with an 8-under par 208. Anders Engell of St. Mary's was second at 5-under 211.

Hall McCord Lyons (December 22, 1923 – July 22, 1998) was a Shreveport and, later, Lafayette oilman who for a short time was a pioneer in the establishment of a competitive Republican Party in Louisiana. He was the son of the party's 1964 gubernatorial nominee, Charlton Lyons. However, in 1972, despite his father's wishes, Hall Lyons left the GOP to run as the American Independent Party—the former George Wallace organization—nominee for the United States Senate.
Early years, education, military
Lyons was born in Shreveport to Charlton Havard Lyons, Sr. (1894-1973), and the former Marjorie Gladys Hall (1895-1971), an actress originally from Wisconsin. He attended the private Southfield School in Shreveport. He then transferred to the Lawrenceville School, in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, and then attended Louisiana Tech University (at the time "Louisiana Polytechnic Institute") in Ruston.
Lyons volunteered for the U.S. Navy in World War II. Commissioned an ensign, Lyons was posted in the Leyte Gulf in the Philippines and participated in the liberation of Okinawa. After the war ended, he returned home to attend Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, from which he obtained a degree in arts and sciences in June 1949.
He was a partner in C. H. Lyons Petroleum in Shreveport. He moved to Lafayette in 1960 to become an independent operator there. His father in 1964 lost the governor's election that year to the Democrat John J. McKeithen, but the family retained a keen interest in promoting the Republican Party in Louisiana.
Challenging Edwin Willis for Congress
In 1966, Hall Lyons challenged the reelection of veteran Third District Democratic Congressman Edwin Edward Willis, a member of the Long political faction. The atmosphere of 1966 seemed encouraging to Republicans in Lafayette. Roderick Miller of Lafayette had just become only the third Republican in modern times to win a state legislative seat in a special election. Lyons painted Willis as subservient to President Lyndon B. Johnson and the Great Society programs. Willis nevertheless won, but never before had he faced such a competitive Republican. Willis received 46,533 votes (59.7 percent) to Lyons' 31,444 (40.3 percent).
Do conservatives have a home in the GOP?
In 1968, Charlton Lyons attended the Republican National Convention in Miami Beach, Florida and thereafter headed the Louisiana campaign to elect Richard Nixon as president; He had similarly worked for Barry M. Goldwater in 1964. Hall Lyons, however, favored former Alabama Governor George Wallace, a populist-style Democrat and then segregationist, who was running under his own "American Independent Party" label. Wallace won Louisiana's ten electoral votes, and Nixon ran a weak third in the state, losing out even to Democratic national nominee Vice President Hubert Humphrey.
In the 1972 governor's race, Charlton Lyons, who had served as state Republican chairman after his own loss for governor, supported David C. Treen as his party's gubernatorial candidate. Charlton Lyons was embarrassed because Hall Lyons was running for governor too, not as a Republican primary rival to Treen, but as the projected AIP candidate on the general election ballot. Lyons convinced his son to withdraw so that conservatives could unite behind Republican Treen. This campaign was some nine months before Treen would be elected to Congress in November 1972.
Hall Lyons questioned whether the GOP could be the permanent home of conservatives such as himself. He had grown disillusioned with the Nixon administration even before the Watergate affair triggered a collapse in Republican popularity. He also opposed many of the nationally known Republican senators, such as Minority Leader Hugh Scott of Pennsylvania, Charles H. Percy of Illinois, and Jacob Javits of New York, who had voting records only slightly to the "right" of many Democratic senators.
In the fall of 1972, Hall Lyons emerged as the AIP candidate for the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Allen J. Ellender, who died during the Democratic primary campaign, and the nomination, still equivalent to election in Louisiana, went to former state senator J. Bennett Johnston, Jr. Johnston, also a native of Shreveport, had initially been elected to the Louisiana House on the same day that McKeithen had topped Charlton Lyons for the governorship. The Republican U.S. Senate nominee in 1972 was Ben C. Toledano, who had lost the mayoral election in 1970 in New Orleans. Moreover, McKeithen, unable to enter the Democratic primary after Ellender's death, filed to run as an Independent in the general election.
This time, Hall Lyons did not yield to his father but remained in the Senate campaign even though Toledano was arguably as conservative as Hall Lyons himself. Hall Lyons' total vote was meager: 28,910 votes (2.6 percent). Hall Lyons found that voters would not seriously consider "fringe" candidates for major or even minor offices but would restrict themselves to the major parties. Johnston won the seat, with 598,987 votes (55.2 percent); McKeithen drew 250,161 (23.1 percent), and Toledano finished third with 206,846 (19.1 percent). Toledano's vote was not even as strong in terms of percent as that of Taylor W. O'Hearn of Shreveport, who had unsuccessfully challenged Democrat Russell Long in 1962.
Charlton Lyons died on August 8, 1973, and the Lyons family role in Louisiana politics subsided thereafter. Charlton Lyons was so highly regarded that his funeral was televised on a statewide hookup.
Hall Lyons not only left his father's political party but also his Episcopal Church. At the time of his death, Hall Lyons was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Houma in Terrebonne Parish.
By 1984, Lyons had become a donor to the Lyndon LaRouche Democratic presidential campaign.
Lyons' obituary
Hall Lyons died in Jefferson, Louisiana, in Jefferson Parish after a brief illness. He had been in semi-retirement on Grand Isle in the Gulf of Mexico for a number of years. While Lyons was in Shreveport, he had been active in the musical community. A former president of the Shreveport Symphony, he sang numerous principal and supporting roles in operas produced by the symphony. He was an optimistic person with a big smile and a pleasant personality.
Lyons was preceded in death by his first wife, Betty Sue Buffington McKeever (1925-1993). Survivors included his third wife, Rosamond Rosholt Lyons (born 1922) of Grand Isle; they were married on July 31, 1975. He was also survived by his brother, Charlton Havard Lyons, Jr. (born 1921), of Shreveport; three daughters, Marjorie Scott Lyons (born 1951) of Fort Bragg, California (named for her paternal grandmother), Cheryl Despain (born 1955) of Salt Lake City, and Blythe Ann Randall of Lafayette, later Blythe Ann Lyons (born 1968), a veterinarian in Baton Rouge; three sons, Culver Hall Lyons, Sr. (born 1950), of Alpharetta, Georgia, Michael Glen Lyons (born 1958) of Humble, Texas, and Troy Dominic Lyons (born 1965) of Centreville, Mississippi; two stepsons; his second wife, Ann B. Barras (born 1936) of Lafayette, former sister-in-law Susybelle Lyons of Shreveport, and a large number of grandchildren.
Services were held at a Latter Day Saints meetinghouse in Shreveport. Burial was in the Lyons family plot at Forest Park Cemetery in Shreveport.

The ASUS Transformer Tab TF300 is an Android tablet that combines a keyboard dock accessory to act like a real notebook.
Design and display
The first thing you'll notice about the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 is the fact it looks remarkably similar to the Transformer Prime. It's based on the exact same concept, where the tablet itself can be attached to an optional keyboard dock. In Australia, ASUS sells the 32GB Transformer Pad for $499 on its own, or $599 with the keyboard dock together as a bundle. The reduced price is a far cry from the 32GB Transformer Prime, which retails for $799 with the keyboard dock.
In slashing the cost of the Transformer Tab, ASUS has had to make some sacrifices. The new model is heavier (635g) and thicker (9.9mm) than the Transformer Prime and is constructed largely from plastic rather than aluminium. These changes aren't all bad news — we feel the Transformer Pad is a relatively light tablet that isn't a burden to carry around. Further, its rounded corners make it easy to hold in all orientations and the weight feels evenly distributed.
That being said, the build quality of the ASUS Transformer Tab can't quite match the Transformer Prime. The plastic backing, imprinted with a large swirl design, exhibits a little flex when some force is applied and feels rather hollow. It also creaks when pressure is applied at various points. Disappointingly, ASUS hasn't repositioned the speaker — it's covered by your right hand when holding the tablet with two hands, muffling the sound.
The Transformer Pad TF300's 10.1in screen uses a regular IPS panel rather than the brighter IPS+ panel of the Transformer Prime. In most cases the Transformer Pad's screen is bright enough not to be an issue. It offers impressive viewing angles and good colour reproduction but it does lack the vivid brightness of the Prime, especially if you're using it outdoors. The glossy screen is also very reflective under sunlight.
As a stand alone tablet without the keyboard dock, the ASUS Transformer Pad has a volume rocker, a micro-HDMI port, and a microSD card slot on the left side, a small power/lock button (with a handy LED built-in) on the top, and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack on the right. The proprietary ASUS dock connection on the bottom may be an annoyance, but it offers two benefits: it connects the tablet to the keyboard dock, and charges much faster (around an hour and a half) than a regular micro-USB charger could.
Keyboard dock
The ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 may be sold as a stand alone tablet without the keyboard dock, but the unit really comes into its own with this optional accessory. The dock adds a full-sized USB port (concealed by a plastic flap), a full-sized SD card slot, a trackpad, and its own built-in battery. ASUS says the Transformer Pad offers slightly less battery life than the Transformer Prime. It promises 10 hours tablet-only use or up to 15 hours if the keyboard dock is connected compared to 12 hours and 18 hours, respectively, on the Prime. If both the tablet and the keyboard dock batteries are fully charged, the Transformer Pad TF300 draws power from the keyboard dock first in order to preserve power for tablet-only use.
When connected, the Transformer Pad TF300 folds over onto the keyboard dock and acts like a regular notebook. Connecting the two does feel a little clunky, though the arrows on both the dock and the tablet are a nice touch: line them up to ensure a smooth and hassle-free connection.
The keyboard itself makes typing easier and more effective than a touchscreen, but it's far from perfect. The keys aren't backlit, the layout is a little cramped compared to a full-sized keyboard and the typing experience on the whole feels a little flimsy. The biggest annoyance is the middle of the keyboard which noticeably flexes when tapping keys around the centre, including the space bar.
We love the addition of dedicated Android shortcuts including home, back, search and settings keys, along with a wealth of quick toggles for the trackpad, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness, Browser, screen shot and media controls. There's also a button on the keyboard to lock the screen, which is handy if you want to keep the Transformer Pad folded open.
The keyboard dock has a touchpad and you can use two fingers on it to scroll up and down on Web pages. It's very easy to accidentally bump when typing though, so we suggest turning it off via the shortcut button when you aren't using it. We would have appreciated an automatic setting that disables the trackpad when you type. You can't use gestures on the Transformer Pad's trackpad, so pinching to zoom, for example, can only be performed on the screen of the tablet.
Perhaps the biggest issue of the the Transformer Pad TF300 is its top top-heavy nature. The design and weight means it's almost impossible to position it on your lap without it toppling over. It's fine for use on a desk or table, but trying to sit the Transformer Pad on your lap is a frustrating experience.
Software and performance
The ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 comes with Google's latest Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" operating system. The software (version 4.0.3) is largely a 'vanilla' version of the OS, though ASUS includes a number of exclusive apps. Additions include a file manager, a MyCloud storage app with 8GB of free storage, a MyLibrary books app, and a MyNet app for streaming multimedia content via DLNA. The MyCloud app offers one year of unlimited cloud storage and works similarly to the popular Dropbox service. ASUS also includes handy e-mail, clock and weather widgets, along with a battery indicator that displays two separate percentages for the tablet and the dock battery.
For most part, the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 offers a smooth user experience, much improved over previous generation Android tablets. Home screens scroll smoothly, pages in the Web browser load quickly and apps open and close instantly. Sadly, however, the Transformer Pad is still plagued by small issues that detract from the overall user experience. The browser will occasionally lock for a few seconds, unable to scroll. Various third-party apps, including Facebook, Evernote and Google Drive, crashed on more than one occasion during our review. The default Web browser works smoothly one minute, but is sluggish and unresponsive the next.
Although we have no doubt these small issues will be corrected with future software updates, this seems to be a common occurrence with Android tablets. When it comes to software, many of these devices constantly require software updates to correct issues that should have been ironed out long ago. To be fair to ASUS, this largely seems like an issue for Google but the fact remains that a tablet sporting a blazing fast quad-core processor should not be lagging during general use.
Further, Android's most significant tablet issue — third-party apps — remains unresolved. There are minimal apps in the Android Marketplace that are specifically designed for tablets, so most of them simply expand to fit the Transformer Pad's screen. Default Google apps like Maps, Gmail and YouTube work excellently, and there are a few popular apps like Angry Birds, Pulse News Reader and Evernote that filled the screen perfectly. However, tablet apps on offer remain well behind the iPad, and there remains no easy way to determine if an app in the Google Play store is designed to work on a tablet.
Camera and battery life
The ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 has an 8-megapixel rear camera that doubles as a 1080p video recorder. We don't see the point of a rear camera on a tablet, but if you do want to snap photos and video with the Transformer Pad, you'll be well serviced. We found autofocus slow at times but images captured possess a fair amount of detail and reasonably good colour reproduction. Of more importance is the front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera, which works well with third-party video apps like Skype and Tango.
The ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 doesn't have 3G connectivity, so its a Wi-Fi-only tablet. ASUS has announced it plans to launch a 3G version of the device in Australia (the TF300TG) "very soon", though the company hasn't yet specified a release date or price.
ASUS claims the Transformer Pad TF300's battery will last for up to 10 hours standalone and 15 hours with the dock connected. We found real life figures slightly less than the advertised ones, but impressive nonetheless. Our best figures were just under nine hours standalone and almost 13 hours with the keyboard dock connected.
Keep in mind that there are three "power profiles" available use on the Transformer Pad TF300: power saving, balanced, and performance. We ran all our tests in balanced mode, which is the default setting. You should be able to push better battery life out of the tablet using power saving mode, though this limits performance, which is likely to pose an issue with gaming and other CPU intensive apps.
The ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T is available through major Australian retailers including Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi and The Good Guys. ASUS sells the 32GB model for $499 without the keyboard dock, or $599 with the docking station included.

Sustaining the Blue Planet: Global Water Education Conference
The Project WET Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reaching children, parents, educators and communities around the world with water education. We are active in all 50 states and in 50+ countries around the world.
Please visit http://www.projectwet.org to learn more.
Most of the Project WET end users are teachers. However, we are also hoping to attract corporate sponsors and attendees as well as people from government agencies and other nonprofits. Our graphic identity needs to be very professional and understandable to a global audience for this event.
We want a logo that includes a graphical reference to the "Blue Planet", preferably using a realistic-looking depiction of Earth (please see examples) as well as incorporating water. Suspending the Earth within a water drop is one example that has been mentioned repeatedly as being an ideal representation. The logo must also include the name of the conference, "Sustaining the Blue Planet: Global Water Education Conference". In the attached samples, we used the Earth logo to replace the "o" in "global", but we don't require that. We will need final versions in layered Adobe Illustrator and .eps files - please provide both full color and gray scale versions.
DO NOT: create a water drop type character. No animation / cartoony representations of water drops or Earth. Simpler is better!

OURS IS A CHRISTIAN FAMILY STORY. It is also a loving, loyal, confused church story. There's nothing all that unusual about it, really. But precisely because similar stories are unfolding in countless families and churches today, I want to share it.
I want you to see how sexual orientation and deeply held beliefs are at odds in ways that injure those we love. This debate is not simply about beliefs and rights; it's about people who are created in God's image. Those people may be like you or entirely unlike you. They may be your roommate or neighbor, your best friend or a colleague. They may be your son or daughter.
My dad would later tell me the day I came out to him was the worst day of his life. His sister had passed away the year before; his father years earlier. But the day I said "Dad, I'm gay" was the worst day of his life. To his credit, though, he didn't tell me that at the time. He hugged me and listened as I nervously stumbled over my words for an hour and a half. Then he told me he loved me.
My mom, too, responded with open arms, but the news was hard for her to hear. She could barely eat for several days afterward, and she spent much of the next year deeply dispirited. Still, I was grateful for my parents' unfailing compassion and love.
What that love would ultimately look like, though, was unclear.
Six passages in the Bible—Genesis 19:5; Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9; and 1 Timothy 1:10—have stood in the way of countless gay people who long for acceptance from their Christian parents, friends, and churches. I was blessed by my parents' continued love, but absent a significant change for my dad in particular, we were likely to end up stuck in the same place: compassion, but no support for a future romantic relationship.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – After amassing a large lead in the tie-breaking doubles match, the No. 70 Gauchos (2-2) were unable to put away the University of San Francisco (4-2) and lost the doubles point in what was the deciding point of their 4-3 upset loss to the Dons.
Doubles have been an area of concern for the Gauchos early on in the season and today's match was no different. UCSB dropped their first match in court 3, where USF's Bucalem and Knowlman defeated UCSB duo Benjamin Recknagel and Miles Seemann 8-6. The Gauchos came right back to take an 8-5 win at court 1 as Mbonisi Ndimande and Sultan beat Tu and Schumacher of USF.
The doubles point came down to court 2 where UCSB lost in heartbreaking fashion. Facing a 6-1 deficit, University of San Francisco pair Saraiva and Skajaa battled back and staved off six match points and came back to win 8-7 (6) over UCSB's Axel Bouillin and Sasha Gryaznov.
Coach Marty Davis called the doubles match, "pretty disappointing," given that it "ended up being the difference" in their 4-3 loss.
After dropping the doubles point, USF continued their momentum and won their first three singles matches before UCSB came back and won three of their own to make it a close match though USF already clinched the win.
UCSB suffered losses at courts 6, 3, and 1. At court 6, freshman Jacob Johnson dropped his first match of the season to Germain Bahri 6-2, 6-4. Sophomore Axel Bouillin lost his first match at the No. 3 position, losing his decision to Bernardo Saraiva 6-2, 6-3. Senior Benjamin Recknagel struggled against formerly ranked Thai Tu, and was edged 6-1, 7-6.
The Gauchos battled back to split their singles matches, receiving wins at courts 2, 4, and 5. Senior Mbonisi Ndimande continued his strong play this season, topping William Schumacher 7-6, 6-3 at court 2. Sophomore Ziad Sultan, playing at his usual No. 4 position, edged Rich Van Hout 6-3, 6-7, 6-1. Junior Sasha Gryaznov was also victorious with a 6-7, 6-4, 10-6 decision over Nils Skajaa.
Junior Sasha Gryaznov, though disappointed in the loss at court 2 in doubles, said the team "played well overall" and was able to shake off the loss in doubles to come "back strong for singles." Gryaznov added that the team learned "not to relax before the match is over."
The Gauchos will have a quick turnaround, playing their next match Monday Feb. 18 at No. 37 Santa Clara to conclude their road trip. Action is set to begin at 11:00 AM at the Degheri Tennis Center.
USF 4, No. 70 UCSB 3
1. Ndimande/Sultan (UCSB) def. Tu/Schumacher (USF) 8-5
2. Saraiva/Skajaa (USF) def. Bouillin/Gryaznov (UCSB) 8-7 (6)
3. Bucalem/Knowlman (USF) def. Recknagel/Seemann (UCSB) 8-6
1. Thai Tu (USF) def. Benjamin Recknagel (UCSB) 6-1, 7-6

4. Ziad Sultan (UCSB) def. Rich Van Hout (USF) 6-3, 6-7, 6-1
5. Sasha Gryaznov (UCSB) def. Nils Skajaa (USF) 6-7, 6-4, 10-6

Flashback: CCR Breaks Up 40 Years Ago
It was 40 years ago today (October 16h, 1972) that Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) officially disbanded. CCR was one of most successful acts of the late '60s and early '70s, racking up 11 Top 20 hits in under four years.
Seeds of the band's demise came when co-founder Tom Fogerty left the previous year. Tom had been chafing artistically under the leadership of his younger brother John Fogerty, who wrote, sang, and produced the band's music, including such classics such as "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Who'll Stop The Rain," "Down On The Corner," "Up Around The Bend," "Born On The Bayou," and many others.
By 1972, John was unhappy with the group format, as well as his demanding contract with CCR's record label, Fantasy. CCR's drummer Doug Clifford and bassist Stu Cook say that the band's final studio album, Mardi Gras, was essentially the final nail in the band's coffin: "(Doug Clifford) The Mardi Gras album where we each did a third was an ultimatum from him. (Stu Cook) I had a conversation with him after a show at the San Diego Coliseum. (Doug Clifford) Right. . . (Stu Cook) And he said, 'Oh by the way, on this next album, you and Doug are doing a third of the writing and a third of the singing and I'm just going to play rhythm guitar on your tracks.' And I said, 'John, that's not a Creedence album, I doubt the record company will accept it, I know the fans aren't going to be happy with it,' and he says, 'Well, that's the way it is or I quit.'"
John Fogerty's relationship with the band, including with his brother, never healed after the split. John accused his former bandmates of siding with record company executives rather than trying to free him from what he saw as an unfair record contract. After releasing two solo albums, Fogerty held back a third in a contract dispute, and essentially retired for a nearly a decade until resurfacing with 1985's critically acclaimed Centerfield.
The original foursome reunited only once, when they briefly jammed at Tom Fogerty's 1980 wedding.
Tom Fogerty died of AIDS following a blood transfusion in 1990, without reconciling with John. In 1993 John barred Cook and Clifford from performing with him at CCR's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since 1995, Cook and Clifford have toured successfully as Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Although Fogerty originally fought the pair over the use of the name, according to Cook there is a silent and uneasy truce between the group's survivors.
After years of ignoring his CCR hits in concert, over the past decade, John Fogerty has embraced his past and now includes nearly all of the band's biggest hits in his concert set lists: "I still realize that by far all around the world I am most known for the Creedence era. And those are songs that I love to play. I'm very happy at this stage in my career that people still, you know, really get a big kick out of hearing "Green River" and "Who'll Stop The Rain," and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain." It's a really cool thing (laughs). Sometimes I'm pretty much in awe of the whole situation."
Coming on November 6th is the new three-CD set, Ultimate Creedence Clearwater Revival: Greatest Hits & All-Time Classics. The third disc of the 51-track collection features live versions of Creedence favorites.

What do you want from your Postal Service? It's a simple question, yet it is probably one that few citizens have pondered – even as our nation's policymakers consider how best to reform the U.S. Postal Service. The voice of the American public has largely been absent from the debate about what role the Postal Service should play in meeting modern communications needs.

When was the last time you spruced up your kitchen? If it's been quite awhile since you gave this frequented space some TLC, you might want to consider bringing in new discount window treatments, appliances and wall paint sooner rather than later. Doing so can revitalize your kitchen and bring it to its full potential.
However, it can be tricky redesigning a space, especially if you've never done so before. One way to begin redecorating is to decide on a theme for the room. This can help you narrow down your choices as you shop for new cabinets, accessories and appliances for your space.
Contemporary kitchens are growing in popularity as more people strive for a clean, modern look in their homes. Here are some tips on how to create a contemporary space without knocking down any walls or busting your budget.
1. Consider open shelving.
Open shelves can give you an opportunity to display some of your most prized appliances and dishes as well as make commonly used items more accessible. More minimalist, modern kitchens are incorporating open shelves and cabinets to create a unique look. If you don't like the appearance of these shelves once they're installed, simply add doors!
2. Go eco-friendly with your window treatments.
It's no secret that more people are becoming environmentally conscious, especially when it comes to designing their homes. To fall in line with this trend, you may want to bring bamboo window blinds into your kitchen. Not only are these eco-friendly, but they are simple to control - open them when you want light or easily close them when you want additional privacy.
3. Use bold colors.
While it's completely acceptable to stick with neutrals for a modern space, there's no rule that says you have to limit yourself to black and white! Homedit.com reports that modern rooms are typically designed to make a statement. With that in mind, think about how a bold hue can create a memorable impression on everyone who uses the room. Whether you love fire engine red or tangerine, don't knock it until you try it!
By taking the previous three tips into account, you can make it easier to design a contemporary kitchen, even if you're not experienced in decorating. In the end, everyone will wonder how you pulled it off!

Rumours have been hotting up about Apple's widely speculated iPad mini, which some reports suggest will launch this month. Now, alleged headphone jacks for the smaller tablet have been leaked on the web.
The parts, which were first spotted by Nowhereelse.fr on Thursday on a parts reseller site, have been leaked in both black and white, indicating that the 7.85in tablet will come in two colours.
Earlier this week, purported iPad mini back plates were leaked, suggesting that there could be an anodized aluminium Black & Slate model similar to the design on the new iPhone 5.
Current reports hint at a 17 October event from Apple, which could see the launch of the iPad mini, though some remain sceptical.

Ontario Performing Arts Graduate Schools | On-Campus Performing Arts Programs
Why Consider Performing Arts Graduate Schools?
On campus performing arts graduate programs could provide budding performers with immediate artistic feedback as they practically apply their skills and knowledge in the classroom. As a student, you may have the opportunity to earn an MA, doctorate, or graduate certificate in performing arts under the tutelage of industry professionals who routinely test your performance techniques. Pursuing a performing arts grad degree on campus might give you the chance to hone your craft in a way a textbook may not provide. Keep reading to see which performing arts graduate schools could be perfect for your lifestyle and educational goals!
The Basics of a Performing Arts Grad Degree Program
Performing arts graduate schools may give students the opportunity to engage with art forms intended for live presentation in a hands-on way. Potential concentrations could include mediums such as theatre, technical design, dance, music, or writing. Each field of study draws from highly specialized skills and knowledge unique to that art form. This makes determining a general curriculum difficult. Artists don't necessarily need to study the minutiae of each artistic concentration. For example, a dance major may not need to learn the same things as someone studying costume production, and vice-versa. Despite not focusing on the same topics, these programs each strive towards the common goal of improving students' understanding of performance. Depending on the program, students might touch on some of the following courses:
- Acting Performance
- Costume Design
- Playwriting
- Dance
- Musical Performance
- Arts Education
- Musical Composition
Additionally, there may be "niche" concentration possibilities within a performing arts graduate program. While pursuing a performing arts grad degree, you could have the
opportunity to study a facet of an art form such ethnomusicology, arts therapy, or songwriting. You can research prospective schools for a list of available programs.
By pursuing an on-campus performing arts grad degree you could have a great opportunity to study the physical elements of your art form. Within the classroom, you might have the chance to practically apply the performance skills and knowledge you're studying in books or through lectures. This could entail practicing with a musical ensemble, running scenes with fellow actors, building a set, or rehearsing a new dance combination. In addition, you may have access to immediate critique and assistance from industry professionals – professors! Program faculty could be a valuable resource to not only help hone elements of your performance, but also provide insider information about your intended future industry. Who knows, they may even be your first contact out in the performing world!
Performing Arts Career Profile
Many of the potential post-graduation careers you could pursue after earning a performing arts grad degree may possibly benefit from the specialized skills and knowledge you studied there. Depending on your intended course of study, you might pursue a career as an actor[i], dancer, choreographer[ii], music director, composer[ii], producer, director[iv], or musician.[v] Typically, these career paths require a bachelor's degree – or no degree – to enter the field initially, but earning a graduate degree might potentially give you knowledge and skills to enhance your career (and your resume).[vi]
When seeking future employment, you may find that occupational opportunities for performing arts careers are typically tied to urban centers. These areas often have more directors, performance spaces, and arts funding at their disposal to foster the arts. Metropolitan areas with leading employment levels in these fields include Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and New Orleans.[vii] Relocating to these areas might offer more potential career opportunities, but be sure to research other potential freelance opportunities in suburban and rural locations.
Determining a Perfect On-Campus Performing Arts Graduate Program
The variety found among performing arts graduate schools could give you the opportunity to choose how you want to engage with your intended art form! Depending on your personal education goals and career ambitions you might find a masters, doctorate, or graduate certificate program in performing arts is the perfect choice for you. Continue reading to see which performing arts grad degree type may align with your lifestyle and learning habits.
On Campus Performing Arts Masters: MA and Master of Fine Arts
Performing arts masters programs on-campus are commonly offered in the master of arts (MA) and master of fine arts formats. Both masters programs focus on improving the knowledge and skills students bring to their performances, but differ in their academic methods. For instance, the masters of fine arts focuses on performance technique and daily practical application. The MA, on the other hand, may take a scholastic approach and require more performance research. Accounting for the differing curriculum and graduation requirements of masters degree programs, students could expect to graduate in 1 to 3 years, depending on course load.
On campus performing arts masters programs aim to establish that participating students not only are talented performers, but devoted academics as well. Even if you are seeking a master of fine arts, you may have to study the history and criticism of your art form. To ensure students are as comfortable in the classroom as they are on stage, students might be expected to submit a 3.0 undergraduate GPA in addition to an audition or technical portfolio review. Check with your preferred program for additional details and requirements.
On Campus Performing Arts Doctoral Programs
Performing arts doctoral programs on campus differ from other graduate programs in that they emphasize academic research and critical analysis more than performance techniques. These programs delve into the deep end of your chosen medium – often examining historical contexts, recent presentations, and media reinterpretations of performances. These studies typically culminate in a dissertation project, which could act as a great starting point for a future career in research or post-secondary education. [viii] The above outlined coursework and graduation requirements contribute to the programs' 2 to 4 year completion time. Program lengths vary by school.
Admissions requirements usually reflect the academic demands of doctoral programs. Schools might require a 3.0 or higher graduate GPA as part of the application process, in addition to GRE exams scores. It's important to note that these programs may expect previous graduate coursework, which might not make it a great choice for students looking for their first steps into the graduate sphere. Check with potential programs to learn more about application criteria.
On Campus Performing Arts Graduate Certificate Programs
A performing arts graduate certificate on-campus could be a great opportunity for students to expand their artistic knowledge without undertaking the lengthier masters or doctoral programs. The curriculum offered in certificate programs may be concise and highlight one specific facet of your intended art form, such as musical conducting, contemporary theatrical techniques, or dance. Due to the abbreviated coursework, students could complete a performing arts graduate certificate program in 1.5 years. Program lengths vary by school.
Admissions requirements for certificate programs are often more accessible to help provide attainable education for artists. As part of this effort, many programs do not require a minimum GPA or GRE exam score to apply. Instead, certificate programs often place more emphasis on in-person auditions or technical portfolios. Check with your intended school for audition and portfolio reviews dates and requirements.

My genealogical efforts have been greatly aided by the fact that all of my father's ancestors migrated to the area of Adair and Green County, Kentucky, shortly after the Revolutionary War. They remained in the Adair County area until my father left in the 1920's for Colorado and the West.
The surnames are: Anderson, Brawner, Holladay, Montgomery, Reynolds, Sallee, Smith, and Waggener. The Creel family is also closely associated with several of these families. I will be making a number of posts about these families and sources of additional information about them. Your comments and inquiries are invited.

Baltimore/North Baltimore
North Baltimore is a large section of the city sprawling north towards Towson, and is home to Johns Hopkins University's Homewood campus.
For visitors, chances are that all you will want to see is in two neighborhoods:
Hampden is Baltimore quirkiness at its most extreme. It is a singularly eclectic neighborhood, with an odd mix of gentrification, eccentric long-time residents, the occasional drunk, and hipster/artist arrivals dubbed locally as "Hampsters." What, exactly, is that distinctively quirky Baltimore element? Too eccentric to define, it is a weird combination of assorted beehive hairdos, offensive John Waters flicks, arcane local comic books, Bawlmerese, calling people "hon," assorted strange 1950s nicknacks, ice cream soda fountains, extremely gaudy glasses, and other assorted traditions one would not find elsewhere. If you would like to peer a little further into Hampden culture, John Waters' Pecker is basically a personal tribute to the neighborhood, and don't worry, it's one of his least-offensive flicks. The main commercial strip is on 36th St, known locally as The Avenue, and you will find virtually everything of interest here.

Johns Hopkins University[edit]
Johns Hopkins University, [25] is a mammoth institution in Baltimore, and it is here that you will find its center on the Homewood Campus.
The Homewood campus was a property purchased in 1800 by Charles Carroll, signer of the Declaration of Independence, as a wedding present for his son, who designed and oversaw the building of the outstanding federal style country house. The Johns Hopkins University was the first research university in the United States. Tourists will enjoy the Homewood House, a historic home built by Charles Carrol for his son, now a history museum, and the Lacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame.

along 36th St (the Avenue). 14-15 July 2009. Hampden's big neighborhood celebration, which grew over the past fourteen years from a little pageant created by a few eccentrics on a lark to a major city festival that draws even international visitors. The "hon" is a certain local style of lady that developed in the early 1960s, featuring dresses with flamboyant prints, very large and brightly colored horn-rimmed glasses, spandex pants, leopard pants, heavy eye-shadow, and as-tall-as-possible beehive hairdos. If you have seen Hairspray in any of its incarnations, you know what the Baltimore hon looks like.
Miracle on 34th Street[edit]
[6]. Hampden's premiere attraction, bringing in suburbanites all throughout December, is the Miracle on 34th Street in Hampden—an out of control Christmas decorations bonanza, all just on one block of 34th. Strands of lights are strewn across the street from house to house, plastic and inflatable reindeer wander the lawns, and the glare from the displays turns the night sky orange. Over the top or not, it really is magical and worth whatever difficulty you have in getting here. Traffic around this block in December approaches a stasis, in which cars may approach or leave, but the ones in the center may not ever move.
Buy[edit][add listing]
North Baltimore is home to several record stores worth checking out if you're into real vinyl: Jojosouth Records, the True Vine, and Celebrated Summer Records in the Hampden neighborhood and Normal's Books and Records in Charles Village are all worth a look.

Femizine is a science fiction fanzine from the UK.
Femizine was begun in the 1950s. It was supposedly edited by non-existing fan "Joan W. Carr" who, in reality, was a hoax created by male fan H.P. "Sandy" Sanderson. A sergeant in the British Army stationed in North Africa, Sanderson reported meeting a WRAC (British WAC) who'd expressed an interest in fandom. This was at a time when there were not a lot of females in fandom. "She" was soon writing to various fans back in England, and was eventually asked, and agreed. to edit Femizine, which became a focal point for 'femme fannes' in the UK. When the hoax was finally revealed early in 1956, it shocked many fans. However, the fanzine was taken over first by Pamela Bulmer and then later by Ethel Lindsay, who continued to publish issues.
Issue #2 was published in Summer 1954 and co-edited by H.P. Sandy Sanderson as "Jan Carr, and Ethel Lindsay.
Femizine # 5, released February 1955, was edited by H.P. Sandy Sanderson as"Joan Carr". Contributors include editor "Carr," Joan Burns, Ethel Lindsay (Scottishe), Frances Evans, Grace Burns, Daphne Buckmaster (Esprit, Random), Pamela Bulmer and "Franceska." Front cover art is by Joan Burns, interior art by Grace Burns, Daphne Buckmaster and "Carr." The letter column includes contributions from Ken Bulmer (Science Fantasy News), Dave Cohen, Frances Evans, Dean Grennell (Grue), Chuch Harris, Ethel Lindsay, Stuart Mackenzie, Archie Mercer (Vector), Eric Needham (Now & Then), Fred Smith, Dave Vendelmans (Alpha), Walt Willis (Hyphen),and Helen Winick. There was also a letter from Sally Ann Bloch, supposedly the 11-year old daughter of SF writer and longtime fan Robert Bloch.
Issue #6, from April 1955, was edited by H.P. Sanderson as "Carr". Contributors to this issue include Frances Evans, Ethel Lindsay, Madeleine Willis, Pamela Bulmer and "Franceska." Front cover art is by "Carr," interior art by Daphne Buckmaster, Frances Evans, Harry Turner (Now & Then) and "Carr." The letter column includes contributions from Tony Glynn, Jim Harmon, Mal Ashworth (Rot), Ron Bennett (Ploy), Eric Bentcliffe, George Charters, Eva Firestone, Dean Grennell, Alfred Hind, Archie Mercer, Fred Smith, Gerald A. Steward (Canadian Fandom, Harry Turner, Brian Varley, Dave Vendelmans, Mike Wallace, and Helen Winick.
Issue #7, 1955, was edited by H.P. Sanderson as "Joan Carr" with co-editor Pamela Bulmer. It featured a front cover by Daphne Buckmaster, and contributions from Pamela Bulmer, Irene Gore, Ethel Lindsay, "Franceska," Dorothy Ratigan, Ann Steul, and Helen Highwater. The letter column includes contributions from Mal Ashworth, Pat Darrell, Daphne Buckmaster, Mike Wallace, Fred Smith, Helen Winick, Robert Bloch, Archie Mercer, "Franceska," Ron Bennett, Brian Varley, William F. Temple, Joy Goodwin, Irene Gore, Dean Grennell, Eric Jones, Harry Turner and Dick Ellington. The letter column includes contributions from Mal Ashworth, Pat Darrell, Daphne Buckmaster, Mike Wallace, Fred Smith, Helen Winick, Robert Bloch, Archie Mercer, "Franceska," Ron Bennett, Brian Varley, William F. Temple, Joy Goodwin, Irene Gore, Dean Grennell, Eric Jones, Harry Turner and Dick Ellington.
Issue #8 of March 1956 was the first issue to be edited solely by Pamela Bulmer, while H.P. Sanderson faded into the background.
InTHEN Volume 2, Chapter 3, Rob Hansen writes about issue #9; "...in May the ninth issue of FEMIZINE duly appeared with 'HOAX' emblazoned across its cover over a drawing of a deceased Joan Carr. Inside, Sanderson, Evans, Lindsay, and Bulmer laid out the whole hoax for a shocked British fandom. People had been so completely taken in that they were stunned by the revelation and immediate reactions to it were muted."
Rob Hansen continues, "In September 1958, Ethel Lindsay re-launched FEMIZINE under the name DISTAFF. The fanzine was welcomed by Britain's female fans but the name-change wasn't, so with its next issue, the eleventh, it reverted to its old name."
Issue 11, published May 1959, was edited by Ethel Lindsay. Contributors included Daphne Buckmaster, Pamela Bulmer, Miriam Carr, Joy Clarke, Betty Kujawa, and Jean Young.
In concluding the story of Femizine, Rob Hansen writes, "Lindsay published FEMIZINE, which continued to be a showcase for the talents of female fans, until its fifteenth and final issue in September 1960."

WASHINGTON (WTVC) - WTVC has confirmed that Tennessee U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R) has made a final decision on whether to re-enter the Senate race, a contest that was thrown into turmoil after his decision last year to not seek re-election.
In a statement, Todd Womack, Corker's Chief of Staff, tells WTVC:
"Over the past several months, Senator Corker has been encouraged by people across Tennessee and in the Senate to reconsider his decision not to seek re-election. Based on the outpouring of support, we spent the last few days doing our due diligence and a clear path for re-election was laid out. However, at the end of the day, the senator believes he made the right decision in September and will be leaving the Senate when his term expires at the end of 2018. When he ran for the Senate in 2006, he told Tennesseans that he couldn't imagine serving for more than two terms because he has always been drawn to the citizen legislator model and believes public service should be missional. This has been the greatest privilege of his life and he is forever grateful to the people of the Volunteer State for the opportunity to serve our state and country."
Corker announced last fall that he would not run for re-election.
The news of his latest decision on his political future broke at Politico, which reports the move ends a period of intense speculation in Tennessee and Washington about Corker's future, avoiding what could have been an ugly primary between Corker and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
Politico reports, "The White House made clear to the senator's team that the president would not get involved in a potential primary between Corker and Blackburn, according to a source familiar with the conversations."
Blackburn's office issued this statement shortly after the news broke:
"I want to thank Senator Corker for his dedicated service on behalf of Tennessee families. Now, we can unify the Republican party and focus on defeating Democrat Phil Bredesen in November. As we continue to take our campaign to every corner of the state, I'm looking forward to listening to Tennesseans' families and sharing my ideas on how we can get the United States Senate back to work and pass President Trump's agenda." - Marsha Blackburn
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) tweeted about Corker's decision:
Bob Corker is a terrific United States senator and a good friend. I was disappointed in his decision not to run for reelection but respect that decision. I invited Marsha Blackburn to breakfast this morning. We had a good discussion about a variety of issues that we both care about and how we might work together to make the Senate a more effective institution.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

nicklaz needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 212 designs submitted by 46 freelance designers.
We're a startup Micro-ISV (Independent Software Vendor) without much to show yet except for big dreams. We're working on a couple of products now, one will be a web based SaaS (Software as a Service) offering and the other will be server-based software that companies will use in their networks. Both of these products will target VoIP (voice over IP) telephony systems but our future products may be in a completely different industry.
Our first products will target businesses of all sizes but there's a good possibility that we'll have consumer oriented products in the future as well.
The requirements for this project are very few. The main requirements are for the designer to use his/her imagination to create a logo that fits the name of our company (digitalappetizers), is serious yet fun, and has a web 2.0 look and feel. The logo will be utilized for business cards, our website, and marketing material.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.

NASCAR upholds Penske suspensions
NASCAR rejected an appeal Wednesday by Penske Racing of sanctions imposed against the teams of Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano after the NRA 500 on April 13 at Texas Motor Speedway.
The National Car Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel upheld the penalties after approximately five hours of arguments and deliberations.
Team owner Roger Penske plans to appeal the decision to National Stock Car Racing chief appellate officer John Middlebrook, USA Today reported. Penske's final appeal will be heard on Tuesday.
"I can't make any comments, it's clear we have a process and I'm better off to wait to see that conclude," Penske said, according to USA Today. "All I can say about the process is it's fair and equitable. We had an opportunity to explain our case in detail. We will move onto the next step."
Penske cars driven by Keselowski and Logano failed a pre-race inspection at Texas and rear suspension parts were confiscated by NASCAR.
"As the sanctioning body, we have to uphold the rules and regulations in the rulebook," NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. "The inspection process we believe in very strongly."
Keselowski and Logan were docked 25 points in the drivers' championship standings. Keselowski's crew chief, Paul Wolfe, and Logano's crew chief, Todd Gordon, received a six-race suspension, a $100,000 fine and probation. Car chiefs Jerry Kelley and Raymond Fox and engineers Brian Wilson and Samuel Stanley also were suspended for six races.

I tried to look at the video, but it was only a picture, nothing moving.
They are just now getting serious. :-D 5 out and several have made some holes in the shell and are sitting there debating it.Honestly sometimes they do just hatch and pop out of the egg with no warning lol I had someone sit around for 17hrs waiting and seeing nothing, leave for 10mins, and when they got back most had hatched. Sometimes they'll go from not a mark on the egg to the top popping off and a chick out running around before you even realize it. Then some will sit there for half a day making one little peck mark at a time.

Good things about the book:
- It was a well written, great story.
- E.L. Konigsburg could of easily made that one story at least five stories.
- I learned lots of new words in the book.
- At the end of the book, they have 15 questions with 36 answers to show that they are many ways to answer a question
Bad things about the book:
- They put parts of the contest in random places.
- They introduced a Mrs. Reynolds, but didn't say for a couple of pages that she is the High School drama teacher.
- Also, they said chops had something to do with the ability to do magic, but never really said what it was.
- When you think about the word alien, do you think of those green people who live on a different planet? It can also mean "Belonging to a foreign country or nation".
- When you hear the word sound, do you think of things that you hear? Sound can also mean "A narrow stretch of water forming an inlet or connecting two wider areas of water such as two seas or a sea and a lake".
New words I learned:
- Quaint-attractively unusual or old-fashioned.
- Paraplegic-paralysis of the legs and lower body typically caused by spinal injury or disease.
- Brigadier-a rank of officer in the British army, above colonel and below major general.
- Sentinel-a soldier or guard whose job is to stand and keep watch.
- Nanosecond-one billionth of a second.
- Derive-obtain something from.
- Vulgar-lacking sophistication or good taste.
- Malice-the intention or desire to do evil.
Overall, I rate this book as a A+, and I think anyone interested in smarts should read it, and all elementary school and middle school students.
Have you read The View From Saturday?

Rockies get to Cueto but fall on walk-off
CINCINNATI -- With one huge swing, the Reds' Joey Votto rendered all the grit the Rockies mustered Friday night into the "not enough" category.

CINCINNATI -- With one huge swing, the Reds' Joey Votto rendered all the grit the Rockies mustered Friday night into the "not enough" category.
Votto's ninth-inning leadoff homer off Rockies lefty reliever Boone Logan gave the Reds a 4-3 victory at Great American Ball Park in front of 27,187.View Full Game Coverage
The loss left the Rockies (22-16) with their first consecutive losses since they fell April 13 at San Francisco and April 14 at San Diego. But Friday was far different from the club's 5-0 loss at Texas on Thursday.
It could be said that Rockies' six hits on Friday night were every bit as noteworthy as the high-scoring games they had put up much of the week. Five of the hits, including Troy Tulowitzki's 10th home run of the season, came in the eight innings Reds standout Johnny Cueto pitched. This season, Cueto has yet to allow more than five hits in a game.
The Rockies ensured Cueto would not get a victory after a well-executed top of the ninth inning left Reds closer Jonathan Broxton (1-0) charged with his first run and first blown save. Nolan Arenado even sacrificed his club-record hit streak, which ended at 28 games on an 0-for-3 night with a strikeout, to draw a one-out walk from Broxton. Arenado scored on Justin Morneau's double. Add to all that an outing in which starter Jhoulys Chacin shook off a little more of the rust that came with his being sidelined the first five weeks of the season with a shoulder injury, and it was a night to build upon.
But Votto wiped all that out abruptly by swatting a 3-0 fastball from Logan (1-1), who didn't have his best execution on a night when that was the way to win.
"I didn't really have a lot of giddy-up on my heater tonight," Logan said. "I felt really good, but it doesn't really matter if the results aren't there."
The Rockies fell short, dropping to 9-11 on the road. But for a team trying to escape a history of poor play on the road and uncompetitive outings against the game's top pitchers -- Cueto entered leading the Majors in ERA and opponent's batting average -- it was a progressive step.
"We knew it was going to be tough to score against him [Cueto]," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We knew we had to battle every at-bat and try to make him earn every out he got. Guys did a great job fighting all the way through."
Cueto was sharp the first time through the order, with Chacin's unlikely double in the third the only hit. But Tulowitzki led off the fourth by taking a first-pitch fastball over the wall in center to cut the deficit to 2-1. DJ LeMahieu singled to start the fifth, moved a base on Chacin's grounder and scored on Charlie Blackmon's single through the middle to tie the game.
"We gave Cueto some good at-bats and kept it a close game," Tulowitzki said. "He made some pitches; sometimes we got him. So it was a good battle."
Cueto said via translator Tomas Vera: "They have a really good team. You see they all have a high batting average. I have to do my job, and I have to do what I'm doing. I don't want to change anything. I just want to do what I do."
Chacin, who gave up four runs on eight hits in a loss to the Mets on Sunday in his debut, yielded Skip Schumaker's first-inning leadoff single. Schumaker scored on Brandon Phillips' sacrifice fly. Todd Frazier opened the second with his sixth homer of the season -- a rocket to center field that was estimated at 485 feet, the sixth-longest drive in Great American history.
But Chacin stayed out of trouble the rest of the way, finishing with a line of four hits and two runs while throwing 88 pitches in six innings. He was removed with two out in the top of the seventh for pinch-hitter Corey Dickerson, who struck out against Cueto.
"I'm feeling better and better, and hopefully next time I'll feel better," Chacin said. "We battle. The few times we had a runner on base, we battled and got a couple of runs. But Cueto is a tough guy."
Pinch-hitter Billy Hamilton doubled off Logan to open the bottom of the eighth and scored two batters later on Brayan Pena's sacrifice fly. Arenado, however, drew the walk in what Weiss called a "winning at-bat" against Broxton. Broxton thought he had strike three earlier in the count, but first-base umpire Brian O'Nora ruled that Arenado checked his swing. Morneau's double tied it.
Then Votto left the Rockies counting their forward steps, but not a win.

MACON, Ga. (Nov. 29, 2006) -- With three games left on its current road trip, the ETSU men's basketball team begins conference play Thursday night with a 7:30 p.m. tipoff against Mercer.
The Bucs, coming off a 66-52 win over Southern in the South Padre Island Invitational in South Padre Island, Texas, are looking to improve to 4-4 on the season and get started on the right track with a conference victory. Mercer, 1-3, has struggled in the early going this season.
For ETSU, freshman guard Dequan Twilley (Shelbyville) will be back with the team after missing the Bucs last three games. In Twilley's absence, sophomore guard Tayloe Taylor (Memphis) stepped up his game, as did junior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.). Both Taylor and Reed set season highs for scoring and rebounding in Texas, while sophomore guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) earned all-tournament honors, and senior forward Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.) led the team in rebounding two nights in a row.
ETSU fans will be able to watch the game live via internet streaming at ETSUBucs.com. To access the stream, click on the link located above. For more on the ETSU/Mercer game, click on the game notes at top.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - CNN's Anderson Cooper said in a public statement on Monday that he is gay, adding that while privacy is important for journalists, he did not want to give the impression he was hiding something and wanted to stand up against bullying.
"The fact is, I'm gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn't be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud," the 45-year-old anchor of CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" told The Daily Beast.
Cooper said in a statement posted on Andrew Sullivan's "The Dish" blog that he had not disclosed his sexual orientation in a memoir he wrote several years ago as that was focused on war, but he had come to realize he did not want to give "the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something".
"There continue to be far too many incidences of bullying of young people, as well as discrimination and violence against people of all ages, based on their sexual orientation, and I believe there is value in making clear where I stand," he said.
Cooper, whose sexual identity has long been known within media circles, said he had always believed reporters' political, religious and love lives should not be something they have to discuss publicly. Cooper often travels to war zones and countries where homosexuality is either banned or frowned upon.
"I have always been very open and honest about this part of my life with my friends, my family, and my colleagues. In a perfect world, I don't think it's anyone else's business, but I do think there is value in standing up and being counted," he said.
He said he still hoped for some "personal space", but "I do think visibility is important, more important than preserving my reporter's shield of privacy".
