SOUTH AFRICA | Thursday, 11 December 2014 | Views [451] | Comments [17]
Quiz 4
What language is "wildebeest", and what is the literal translation? Bonus: What is the traditional joke among South Africans about the wildebeest's composite parts? Without looking it up, what body parts does the wildebeest seem to have inherited from other African animals? For example, it's got the brain of a guinea fowl!
Afrikaans, "wild animal"It's got the teeth and jaw strength of a hyena. It's a little known fact that wildebeest are actually carnivorous!
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 1:22 AM
Melanie, that is an excellent guess, really insightful. But please try again, you were just a bit off (on both parts).
Anita Dec 18, 2014 1:26 AM
Don't be hatin', Anita...Dutch, "wild beast"Spindly legs of a giraffe without the height
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 2:36 AM
How do you write the sound of a loud, angry buzzer? WRONG! (OK, right on one, way wrong on two)
Anita Dec 18, 2014 5:33 AM
People say it has the stink of a warthog!
Beth Dec 18, 2014 5:39 AM
It is Afrikaans. It means Wild Beast.
Stephen Dec 18, 2014 5:48 AM
No and no. Try again.
Anita the Quizqueen Dec 18, 2014 5:55 AM
"Clown of the Savannah"...meaning they're not very bright. It is often said, "that Wildebeest has the intelligence of a Pippi".
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 5:56 AM
That was SO wrong and simultaneously rude that you have lost any points that you might have earned so far. As a matter of fact, you are now five points in the hole.
Anita the Judge Dec 18, 2014 6:01 AM
Ok...wildebeest is Dutch for "weird ass animal" the locals think it was made up of leftover animal parts. Also, it's got the hump of a camel and the nose of an elephant!
Beth Dec 18, 2014 6:03 AM
Crap. Okay, I'll start my comeback now then!The wildebeest is often said to be "hung" like an elephant.
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 6:03 AM
Beth, all wrong, but you are on the right track.

Mel, not even close.
Anita the Fair (in all ways) Dec 18, 2014 6:07 AM
How dare you make fun of my people! >neigh<
A wildebeest Dec 18, 2014 6:25 AM
Dutch, "wild beast"Hodgepodge of animals--horse mane and tail, gazelle legs, ox head.
Melanie Dec 18, 2014 9:39 AM
wild ox or wild cattle? if i recall, the joke is that they were the animal that was created last out of spare parts.......
nana Dec 18, 2014 4:32 PM
oh yeah, it's Dutch
nana again Dec 18, 2014 4:34 PM
Africaans (not Dutch), literal translation "wild cow".
According to Masai legend, the wildebeest (aka gnu) has the tail of a horse, sloping hindquarters of an hyena, horns of a buffalo, face of a baboon, mane of a warthog.

Beloved of Yahuwah,
World's Last Chance has just released a new video, entitled "Daniel 12 Reveals When the Second Coming Will Occur!"
Many sincere Christians put the timelines of Daniel 12 in the past. However, a careful study of Scripture reveals that these important timelines are yet future. They are given so Yah's people can identify when the end is upon them.
Daniel 12 Reveals When the
Second Coming Will Occur!
- Prophecy = Yah's gift to the final generation
- Time of the End = 1798 to the Second Coming
- Time of Trouble = 1922 to the Second Coming
- Humanity's probation is soon to close
- Persecution to increase for Yah's faithful
In this video:
Book of Daniel reveals Second Coming is imminent!
May Yahuwah continue to cover you with HIS Grace, Guidance, Mercy, Protection, and LOVE.
In His Service and Care,
The WLC Team

A USA TODAY editorials commends those HMOs that are "takingThis is part of the California Healthline Daily Edition, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations. Sign up for an email subscription.
the edge off their rigid" specialist referral policies. The
editorial states that the direct access policies adopted by some
plans, which allow members to see "in-network specialists" for an
added fee, come "not a moment too soon" because the "rising
public clamor about tightfisted health plans is beginning to
attract the attention of state Legislatures." According to USA
TODAY, "[I]f HMOs don't begin to answer the frustration of their
members, politicians are likely to do it for them."
SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE: USA TODAY notes that the "more
limited forms of direct access" already used by health plans are
only "compromises" of the traditional managed care model:
"After the first visit, most care still must be pre-approved by
the HMO." The editorial notes that the "traditional alternative"
for many health plan members, the point-of-service option, "comes
with significant out-of-pocket costs, putting it beyond the reach
of many consumers." Therefore, direct access to in-network
specialists is "one intriguing way to split the difference" on
other more restrictive policies.
HONOR ROLL: USA TODAY applauds three managed care plans for
implementing new direct access policies: Blue Shield of
California for allowing their patients to self-refer to
specialists (see AHL 6/18); Santa Barbara, CA-based Monarch
Health System for allowing their primary care doctors to refer
patients to specialists without pre-approval; and Minnesota-based
United HealthCare for allowing enrollees "to see network
specialists whenever they wish" (6/25).

According to sources, the newest MPV will be a global vehicle, with the purpose of penetrating different areas and markets across the globe in the coming time.
The Mitsubishi Expander 2018 is truly the star of the stand as it has taken over 23,000 bookings since its debut at the GIIAS auto show. Incredibly, the Japanese car brand managed to collect over 5,000 orders for the new MPV only from GAIKINDO.

The value of Music Education in school
It is unfortunate that music education is being offered less and less in quite a few of our school systems in North America. As education budgets get squeezed, some schools are taking music from their curriculum to create room for other subjects.
But the truth is, music education and involvement can be very important to the overall development of our kids. It is an important subject area that needs to be given the attention and importance it deserves.
Among other things, music education and participation in activities involving music helps in relieving stress, contributes to brain development and opens up opportunities for meaningful human interaction and connection among kids.
The fact is, there are many other reasons why music education for young school children is valuable. Here are a few:
1. Music teaches discipline
When kids play musical instruments or sing in groups it teaches discipline and the importance of doing their part in a joint project. Not only does it help them realize the need to work in a coordinated manner, but it helps to bring out their own personal potential.
Through group participation music teaches children the importance of time management. Balancing practice schedules with other things going on in their lives is an important lesson in time management. This is a skill that will become more and more important as they grow older.
2. Stimulates Brain development
Many studies have found out that music has positive impacts on the development of children's brain. Playing music regularly leads to better neural processing ability. Studies have shown that children who regularly engage in playing music perform better in other school subjects than those who don't.
Regular involvement in musical activities also increases reading and comprehension abilities in kids.
3. Appreciation of culture
It is often overlooked that when children participate in musical activities -like playing and singing traditional tunes – this helps them understand the values, norms, and customs of their own culture. For similar reasons, performing songs from other cultures encourages a better understanding of those cultures.
4. Provides a break from the normal school activities
Music gives children an alternative activity in school from normal classwork. This contributes to making the life at school more interesting and varied, as well as (hopefully) injecting an element of fun into the school day.
5. Development of individual and communal skills
Participation in choruses, guitar bands, drum lines, ukulele bands, and choirs helps in the development of both social and individual skills. As children engage with each other they learn the importance of group work and the way the success of the group depends on the contribution of each individual.
6. Teaches children how to perform in public
Music gives children a unique opportunity to perform in public. One objective of public performance is to boost the self-esteem and confidence of the children. This can contribute to their success in the future where self-confidence when dealing with the public is important.
7. Relieves stresses
For some children the pressures of school can be quite stressful. Music offers a break from normal academic pressures, and provides an alternative activity that makes school less of a grind.
All things considered, music is a major part of the lives of most children. Giving them an opportunity to engage with other children in musical activities is an important way to make school more interesting and productive.

The sublime mix of precious and refined raw materials is made even more fascinating by balsamic accords and aromatic sage.
This perfume is dedicated to the Muda di Barbaria and to the raw materials traded through it. This maritime route connected the Venetian republic with Morocco and southern Spain, trading mainly in savory herbs, resins, rosemary, orange blossom, and Indian sandalwood. The ambience expressed by this extremely feminine fragrance evokes the warmth and mystery of its sunny lands of origin. The elegant bottle, in shades of yellow and orange, is also reminiscent of the warm atmosphere of Morocco and southern Spain.
Andalusian Soul 50 ml and 100 ml EDPs are now available at Galeries Lafayette, Bloomingdale's, Paris Gallery, and The Merchant of Venice Store in Dubai Mall, for AED 473 and AED 662 respectively.
This collection is composed by seven fragrances Eau de Parfum dedicated to mude (fleets of Venetian galleys), to the essential oils and to the raw materials imported by Venetian merchants from the far Orient. The spices, the aromas, and the rare essences were expertly selected by merchants from among those that were most aspired and precious. The masterly expertise of the time ho nored Venetian traditions turns an enchanted journey into a dream.

Author: B. A. Paris
Genre: Psychological Thriller
Release: St. Martin's Press | July 18, 2017
Source: Publisher
If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?
Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods, on the winding rural road, in the middle of a downpour, with the woman sitting inside—the woman who was killed. She's been trying to put the crime out of her mind; what could she have done, really? It's a dangerous road to be on in the middle of a storm. Her husband would be furious if he knew she'd broken her promise not to take that shortcut home. And she probably would only have been hurt herself if she'd stopped.
But since then, she's been forgetting every little thing: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn't have a baby.
The only thing she can't forget is that woman, the woman she might have saved, and the terrible nagging guilt.
Or the silent calls she's receiving, or the feeling that someone's watching her…
I know a lot of people already heard of this author by her previous work, but for me, this happened to be the first time I read B. A. Paris. I think it's safe to say right now that it won't be my last. A very engaging narration and story line that hooked me from the first page.
I don't know how familiar you are with stories like this one, or how close you come to cracking your brain trying to come up with theories as you read along, but whatever your poison, this will be an enjoyable read. Though I admit it lacked the shock value for me, it still was an entertaining story. The narration, for one, was intriguing because you never know whether what Cass is going through is real or it's a figment of her overactive imagination due to the guilt and stress she's experiencing.

Is it just me, or does summer fill you with new energy? But when you're also trying to live the smart way (aka, budget-conscious), all that new energy can get frustrating. What can you do with it — without spending an arm and a leg?
Today we want to share 10 things you can do on a budget this summer. And some of these things won't even cost you a penny!
1) Explore a new place.
Pull out your map (or the GPS app on your phone). Look for a place you've never been — somewhere that's within 100 miles of your home. It could be a neighborhood in your city or a small town miles away. Spend an evening (or a whole day) exploring that new place. Walk around the neighborhoods, try some homemade ice cream, and window shop.
2) Take up a new hobby or sport.
There are many local leagues and clubs offered in the summer, from ultimate frisbee to basketball, hiking groups to bike clubs. Find one that peaks your interest. You can even set a goal for the summer; for example, climb all the mountains within a three-hour radius, or bike all the bike trails in your city. There's no better time to try something new!
3) Garage sale.
If you're a shopper-at-heart, then nothing beats garage sales. You never know what you'll find, or when you'll come across the deal of a lifetime. Check out Craigslist, your local newspaper, or sites like garagesalefinder.com, yardsalesearch.com, or garagesalecow.com for a list of sales in your community. Then spend a morning combing through someone else's leftovers, looking for your treasures. (If you're really entrepreneurial, you could even keep an eye out for items to re-sell on Amazon or eBay!)
4) Take a cooking class.
Sometimes specialty grocery stores or insurance companies will offer free cooking classes. Look online to see what's offered near you. If you can't find any free classes, have some friends over for a shared cooking class. Give a theme; i.e., Texas Cowboy Dinner or English Tea. Each person should choose one dish based on that theme and come with a YouTube cooking lesson and the ingredients needed for that dish. Then you can take turns making each item together, and turn all the dishes into your dinner at the end of the night.
5) DIY your own painting party.
You know those classes where you paint a picture while sipping drinks? They've become all the rage! This summer, why not DIY your own version? Find a painting lesson on YouTube, have some friends over (everyone can bring a snack and/or drink to share, along with a canvas to paint on), and pick up some cheap paint and brushes from a craft store. Spend the evening painting, laughing, and enjoying your drinks — either inside or outside.
6) Pack a picnic.
There's nothing that says summer like a picnic. Pick up some summer sausage, local cheese, crackers, and even a bottle of wine. Lay it all out in the park or your backyard. After dinner you can play a game or read books side by side. Better yet, if you plan it right, you can watch the sunset and/or count the stars!
7) Create a Scavenger Hunt — or try geocaching!
This can be especially fun for a date, or for a family day with kids. Plan out clues ahead of time and leave them at different sites around your neighborhood. Have your loved one(s) try to follow the clues. You could lead them eventually to ice cream, a lake for swimming, or even a water fight in your backyard. If you want to take it up a notch and have someone else do the planning, try geocaching! Download the free version of the app to find tiny, hidden caches all over your city.
8) Have an outdoor movie night.
You can always go to the drive-ins — getting two movies for a whole group of people at a nominal price. But then you can also do a movie night in your own backyard. Try borrowing a projector and hanging up a white sheet, or carrying your TV out into the yard, popping some popcorn, and laying outside to watch some Netflix — or a movie you found in the library.
9) Take a tour.
Choose something you love that's inexpensive, such as ice cream, swimming, or pizza. Then take a tour of that item around your city. For example, if you chose ice cream, you'd visit a different local ice cream store each weekend, trying out another flavor. If you chose swimming, you'd visit another pool or lake each weekend, and so on. If you love writing, you could even start a blog about your discoveries. What better way to get to know your city while enjoying the things you love most about summer?
10) Museum it up.
On those really hot days when you just want to be in AC, visit your local museum — or a museum that's a few hours away. Many museums have some free exhibits you can peruse. Some libraries also offer free or discounted museum passes. You'll get your cool fix and learn something in the process.
Don't forget to check out all the local events offered in your community. See what your local library, book stores, grocery stores, museums, insurance companies, and YMCA are offering, and check out the online calendar for your city. You never know what awesome events you'll find!
Now it's your turn: What is your favorite, budget-friendly thing to do in summer?

Nevada's two most prominent education associations would love to see sweeping charter school reform but they aren't holding their breath waiting for it, despite the political conditions being ripe for an overhaul of education policy.
When it comes to legislative priorities, both Clark County Education Association (CCEA) and Nevada State Education Association (NSEA) will push for lawmakers to address the state funding formula. The decades-old formula — known as the Nevada Plan — is widely criticized as outdated and detrimental to the state's large districts, Clark and Washoe.
Improving the financial condition for public school districts should be their priority; however, one possible unintended consequence of funding formula victories by unions for district schools is that the state's growing charter school industry would also benefit. Charter schools receive per-pupil dollars the same as district schools.
Advocates for public school districts argue charters siphon off the students who are easiest to teach and leave behind those who require the most resources because of language barriers, disability or the economic struggles of their families. The loss of those per-pupil dollars at the district school can have a negative ripple effect on teachers, staff and academic performance.
If it were considered a district, the Nevada State Public Charter School Authority, which approves and oversees the vast majority of charter schools within the state, would be the third largest in the state. The charter school authority currently enrolls approximately 45,000 students. Clark County has 350,000; Washoe County has 64,000.
The actual third largest school district in Nevada is Elko County School District, which has approximately 9,600 students — less than a quarter of what the authority currently oversees. Most of the rural county school districts have far less than that.
The charter school authority hopes to expand to 60,000 students by 2020.
Nevada does not cap charter school growth.
NSEA President Ruben Murillo says his union is concerned about the growth of charter schools and would welcome a moratorium on new schools. He says the recent Los Angeles teachers strike reflects the devastating effect charters can have on district schools. Nearly a fifth of Los Angeles County's students are enrolled in charters.
"Their charter school movement is much more aggressive but we're facing the same challenges," he says. "There is always concern the charter school movement can become unwieldy."
John Vellardita, executive director of Clark County Education Association (CCEA), says his union is similarly concerned: "It's an expanding industry with political clout and dollars. It's influential. More importantly, it preys on a problem that does exist. You do have (district schools) that are systematically underperforming."
That selling point, while appealing, is built on the false premise that the private sector will always do things better than the public sector, says Vellardita.
CCEA's position is that charter school growth should be halted until their standard of accountability is higher than the existing standards for public schools.
"We argue (charters) should be held to a higher level of accountability because the assumption is that they can do better," says Vellardita. "There has been no significant accountability standard that has been applied to charters."
Murillo echoes the demand for better accountability.
"They are not being held accountable," he says. "There are pathways for public schools when they're not meeting (standards). There does not seem to be the same thing with charter schools."
Legislators on the Interim Finance Committee recently criticized the charter school authority for failing to conduct required evaluative site visits. The charter school board and authority staff have begun the process of conducting those site visits.
Despite these concerns, neither union head was aware of any proposed legislation to address charter school oversight or accountability as a whole.
"That doesn't mean they're not forthcoming," says Vellardita. "We believe they are forthcoming."
Still, he expects charter schools to be "secondary" in legislators' minds.
When Nevada Republicans controlled the Legislature and governorship in 2015, they passed a series of educational policy changes that attempted to move the state toward privatization and quasi-privatization. During the election season, Republicans warned that all these "school choice" efforts could be undone if Democrats controlled Carson City.
The blue wave came. Democrats now control the Legislature and the governorship, and just how much they halt or reverse remains to be seen.
The broad voucher system known as Educational Savings Accounts (ESAs) are now considered dead. That Republican-pushed legislation would have allowed anybody to take state money and put it toward private schools.
Vellardita also believes any calls to expand the Achievement School District, which takes low-performing district schools and converts them into charter schools overseen by the state department of education, is also "dead on arrival." He calls the Achievement School District the worst piece of legislation that came from the Sandoval administration.
School choice advocates have already begun rallying around Opportunity Scholarships, a voucher program limited to lower income families and funded in part by private donations incentivized by corporate tax credits. Gov. Steve Sisolak's budget calls for a reduction in funding for the program and students currently receiving the scholarship are now in jeopardy of losing the scholarship and being unable to continue at their current private school.
Meanwhile, State Superintendent Steve Canavero on Friday announced he is resigning from his position, effective Feb. 6. In a press release and subsequent media interviews, the Sandoval appointee stressed that his decision was made for personal reasons and that Sisolak did not ask him to leave. Canavero was the state charter school authority's first director and sits on the board of a national charter school group.
Sisolak has mostly stayed quiet on the issue of charter schools. When the Current asked about his position earlier this month, Sisolak demurred, noting only that "some of them have been successful and some of them have not been as successful." A follow-up email to his office seeking additional insight into his position on charter schools was not returned.

Rolling through the dial with RadioballJune 1st, 2010
I usually prefer to write about tools, processes and methods here, but when I see a project that so completely exemplifies the values and priorities within a design process, I just can't help but want to share it. Teague's RadioBall is one of those projects. Go ahead and watch the video after the jump:
First, the fact that the complete interaction can be described so clearly in 40 seconds shows how novel and intuitive this little thing is. I don't even need to describe what it does. It clearly combines form, interaction and customizability in one elegant package. It is in short – a great idea. However, while I won't be surprised when I see something like this on a store shelf sometime soon, what struck me was the use of physical and digital prototyping tools to so completely and effectively express the idea.
The body is built with a 3D printer and the electronics are all off-the-shelf development tools such as Arduino and XBee, with the addition of an FM radio, accelerometer and speaker. None of these tools are custom and none of the technologies are opaque. In fact, all of the schematics, models and code are available on the Radioball Blog Entry. This entire project was realized by two people in a "short time" in order to serve as a "starting point for conversation about the need for richer, more spatial interactions."
What I tend to write about are essentially tools to aid in, facilitate or speed up a traditional design process. What I find so exciting about Radioball is that an entire functional prototype was developed to describe the idea. I can write about tools that make 3D modeling easier, software to help you build walk-throughs, or electronics that you can use to aid in detailed user studies, but those are still essentially tools that aid an old-fashioned process. This thing is completely new, both in concept and execution. I can't wait to see more projects like this and won't hesitate to share what I find.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to start building my parts list for building (and maybe improving upon) my own Radioball.

Why it's a deal: Southwest Vacations is offering a money-saving promotion on vacation packages to Vegas: Stay three nights, save $45; four nights, save $60; and five nights, save $75. The three-night package we've listed here shows a savings of $45 per reservation. In comparison, we found a $139 round-trip flight between Denver and Vegas in mid-April (Frontier). The hotel accommodations would cost about $175 per person for a three-night stay, including taxes. So, booking independently, you would expect to pay about $314 per person. This package costs $257 per person including all taxes, a savings of $57. Remember also that Southwest is one of the few airlines left that doesn't charge for the first or second checked bag.
Lodging: Your base for the three-night stay is the New York—New York Hotel & Casino on the Strip. The flashy hotel has a spa, a salon, a pool, a casino, several bars and restaurants, and even a roller coaster that goes up to a height of 203 feet. Note that depending on your departure city, the best value might be a different hotel, such as the Stratosphere Las Vegas Hotel & Casino or The Mirage.
More: Add nights for about $50 per person.
Before you go: The package doesn't include airport transfers; a taxi will cost about $12. Get more ideas on what to do at Vegas's official tourism Web site.

Wildcats Hit the Road to Kick Off 2010 Football Season
Arizona will square off against Toledo on Friday, Sept. 3, in a nationally televised game on ESPN. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. EDT (5 p.m. in Tucson).
The excitement of opening week finds Arizona's football team on the road at Toledo in its easternmost game since starting the 1999 season at Penn State.
The Wildcats will open the season against a Mid-American Conference team for a consecutive year, but it's the first-ever trip for a Pac-10 squad to a MAC venue.
It will be a match up of squads with Biletnikoff Award candidates â the University of Arizona's Juron Criner and Toledo's Eric Page.
Page led the Rockets and was first in the nation among freshmen with 82 receptions for 1,159 yards. He ranked ninth in the country with 6.8 receptions per game. Criner snagged a more modest 45 catches for 670 yards but had nine scoring receptions, two more than Page.
The UA's new defense â new guys, not the system â will get tested by Page, a formidable offensive line and a hungry quarterback on game day.
UA signal caller Nick Foles will line up with his veteran offensive unit (nine returning starters) against a Rocket defense that returns six starters led by senior linebacker Archie Donald.
The game will unveil the four-coordinator system UA employs, with Bill Bedenbaugh and Seth Littrell on offense and Tim Kish and Greg Brown on defense.
As for quarterbacks, Foles clearly is No. 1, but the other guys (Matt Scott and Bryson Beirne) have the coaches' confidence and whether UA opts to spread the wealth is subject to question.
The Cats and Rockets meet in Arizona's fifth consecutive game on the ESPN/ABC family of networks.
The Wildcats and Rockets have meet only twice in the long histories of the two programs. Both previous meetings were held in Tucson at Arizona Stadium, in 1985 and 2008, with the Wildcats claiming each contest.
The UA has outscored Toledo a combined 64-26 and will put that control of the series on the line in the first meeting in the Rockets' home venue, the Glass Bowl.
The game will be the UA's sixth all-time against current Mid-American Conference schools and the first the Wildcats play against such schools away from Arizona Stadium. The UA has previously defeated Toledo twice, and Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan and Central Michigan once apiece.
Entering 2010, Arizona returns more than 4,400 career rushing yards, a pretty impressive figure. The head of the attack is none other than senior tailback Nic Grigsby, who accounts for 2,424 yards despite not emerging as the starter until late in his freshman season of 2007 and missing significant action with injuries last year.
Backfield mate Keola Antolin has accumulated 1,094 yards to date through two seasons, while sophomore Greg Nwoko added 273 in his rookie campaign last fall. Added up, that's 3,791 career yards from the top tailbacks. Throw in dual-threat quarterback Matt Scott's 493 career yards and markers from H-back Taimi Tutogi (50) and wide receiver Juron Criner (62) a year ago and you have a total of more than 4,400 rushing yards returning. Of that group, only Grigsby is a senior.
The Arizona Wildcats voted on their team captains 10 days prior to the season opener, with four veterans drawing the respect of their teammates. Senior defensive linemen Brooks Reed and Mana Mikaele will represent the defense as captains, while senior center Colin Baxter and junior quarterback Nick Foles will carry the honors for the offense.
Two other players, wide receiver David Roberts and linebacker Jake Fischer, will represent the football team in UA's Student Athlete Advisory Committee, which works with athletic administrators to provide feedback on improving the Arizona experience for student-athletes.
Arizona's 6-3 mark in the Pac-10 in 2010 was its best since 1998 and is the third six-win Pac-10 season in program history. The record gave the Wildcats 14 victories in their last 22 conference games, dating to the last four games of the 2007 season.
That 14-8 record (0.636 winning percentage) is impressive by itself, but even in the Wildcats' eight losses, they have been just a few plays away from winning each game. UA has lost five of the eight games by three points or less and by a total of 37 points (average of 4.6 per game).
Next Week
The Wildcats will return home to begin a stretch of four consecutive home games played over the course of five weeks.
The home opener will welcome The Citadel to Arizona Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, Sept. 11. The UA will celebrate Public Safety night at the stadium in honor of public service men and women across the world.
The game will be televised live on KWBA Channel 58 in Tucson and on FOX College Sports. Taped versions of the game will re-run on KGUN-9 TV in Tucson and on FOX Sports Arizona beginning at 10:35 p.m.

Human life spans may be limited to a maximum of about 115 years, claim US scientists.
Their conclusions, published in the journal Nature, were made by analysing decades of data on human longevity.
They said a rare few may live longer, but the odds were so poor you'd have to scour 10,000 planet Earths to find just one 125 year old.
But while some scientists have praised the study, others have labelled it a dismal travesty.
Life expectancy has been increasing relentlessly since the nineteenth century – due to vaccines, safer childbirth and tackling killers like cancer and heart disease.
The team in New York analysed data from the Human Mortality Database and the deaths of super-centenarians (those over 110) in France, Japan, UK and US.
The data showed increases in life expectancy were slowing in centenarians and that the maximum age of death had plateaued for at least two decades.
Jeanne Calment came close. The oldest ever person, whose age can be backed up by official documents, was 122 when she died in 1997.
The French icon of longevity was born before the Eiffel Tower was constructed and met the painter Vincent van Gogh. Nobody has since got near her venerable age.
The crop of centenarians in the study were affected by malnutrition and infectious diseases in their childhood back in the late 19th Century. Remember smallpox was declared eradicated only in 1980.
Experiments, which look after animals in ideal conditions, have suggested lifespans do have a limit.
The challenge with tackling ageing is that we have not evolved to live to extreme old ages.
Millions of years of natural selection has honed us to survive, grow and reproduce in our youth.
What happens to our bodies half a century or more later – at ages we have never reached in our evolutionary history – are a side-effect of the instructions in our DNA that are important in youth.
So any attempt to really increase lifespan will need an approach that goes beyond treating diseases and tackles ageing inside every cell of the body.

As Jewish people around the world celebrate Passover, it's worth recalling an often-ignored aspect of the Exodus story. The Midrash, a nearly-2,000-year-old collection of elucidations of the Biblical text, suggests most of the Hebrew slaves, despite the miracles around them, felt too fearful to follow Moses out of Egypt. In this sense, "the people of choice" described in the Bible were as much a choosing people as a chosen people. Even at the Red Sea, Midrashic sources say that God only split the sea once the Jewish people took the first courageous steps into the water. In this sense, and in this season, God can still perform miracles but we must partner with Him in the process.
This is also true for the Easter message of salvation and redemption, isn't it? Liberation and salvation are gifts from God. But it's up to human beings to take the first steps.[soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/317033795″ params="color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false" width="100%" height="166″ iframe="true" /]

The flames burned within 300 feet of his home but encountered a firebreak, void of fuel. (Brian Myrick photo, Daily Record) The state Department of Natural Resources had assessed the man's property last fall and recommended Firewise precautions: first, assess a 30-foot area around the home. Remove fallen branches and pine needles, relocate stacked firewood away from structures, address flammable building materials, keep lawns mowed, and rethink the landscaping if it includes flammable growth like juniper and conifers. Then expand the assessment to a 100-foot radius around the home.It's smart to remove branches of all trees within 15 to 20 feet of the ground. Some Firewise advisors say you should remove altogether any fir and pine trees tall enough to fall on your home. With this week's new lightning fires in Eastern Washington, these tips remain relevant and timely. Read the Ellensburg Daily Record article. Share on social media SafetyWildfireTip 0

In a week dominated by the Sachsgate affair, it's no surprise the Sunday papers have taken a look at the BBC through a critical lens.
This morning the BBC's director-general Mark Thompson told The Andrew Marr Show Jonathan Ross would be keeping his job, although he described his three-month suspension as a "final warning". Thompson went on to defend his £816,000 annual salary:
I get paid significantly less than my opposite numbers in ITV and Channel 4. I took a pay cut. People are happy to do that because of the creative challenges.
No doubt he had in mind the News of the World's splash when he said that. The NotW used a simple Freedom of Information request to get details of the BBC's top 50 salaries – all of whom earn more than Gordon Brown's relatively modest £190,000 a year.
The story's strapline on page 4 sums up the paper's thrust: "For £14.3m [the aggregate of the salaries] we could employ 677 nurses, 695 teachers, 540 firemen or 596 coppers.. but what DO we get? 50 money-grabbing BBC fat cats!"
The Sunday Times had the same table of stats showing the Corporation's top earners but didn't deem it as newsworthy, stashing it away on page 13 as part of a double page spread on the fallout from Sachsgate. Instead the paper led in with comments from a source close to Cabinet minister Andy Burnham suggesting the BBC should "tackle its salary culture".
The Daily Telegraph quoted a senior Tory source saying the Conservatives would force the Beeb to cuts its licence fee by £6, effectively returning £800 million to viewers in a year. The source tells The Telegraph the Tories would "rein in the overweening ambitions of the BBC" which, in spending huge amounts of money on the likes of Ross, was "acting as if it were Manchester United buying Ronaldo".
On the other side of the Atlantic, a real auntie has been giving Barack Obama an unwelcome distraction.
According to The New York Times, Obama had no idea the 56-year-old Kenyan relative he affectionately referred to as "Auntie Zeituni" in his memoir was living with illegal immigant status in Boston.
She made small donations to his campaign amounting to $260 which David Axelrod has said will be refunded.
In today's Observer, Paul Harris and Gabby Hinsliff remark: "Illegal immigration is a political minefield in US politics and the story could be a vote-losing headache for Obama."
With a matter of days to go until America's next president is sworn in, all indicators are pointing to an Obama victory. Like Tony Blair in 1997, he is playing this down. Several commentators have hoped this won't result in an overly cautious first term as it did for New Labour.
On another note, Andrew Rawnsley thinks David Cameron is quietly keeping his fingers crossed for a Democrat win.
Finally, in today's Telegraph, Philip Sherwell and Tim Shipman report that if elected Obama will face an early test from Islamic terrorists, who have threatened to test the new president's mettle. There is a great piece in this quarter's Granta Magazine that ties in with the ongoing threat from within presented by extremists. Unfortunately you can't get it online but I'm planning a longer blog piece with some of the higlights.

The Digital Backpack is updated weekly and contains approved flyers and brochures from District 65 schools as well as organizations serving the communities of Evanston and Skokie.
All materials and literature must be pre-approved for posting or distribution, must be student-oriented, and have a sponsoring organization's name prominently displayed.

Commercial companies and political candidates are prohibited from advertising in schools, on school grounds, or on school/District web sites. District 65 neither endorses nor sponsors the outside organizations or activities represented in the materials. The distribution or display is offered as a service to our community.
Click here to download the Application to Distribute Materials form. Please allow (5) business days for applications to be processed.
e-copies vs. paper copies
By selecting 'e-copy,' approved flyers will be posted to the Digital Backpack section of the district website. If an organization chooses to distribute paper copies of the approved flyer, copies must be bundled in packets of 25 and delivered to each school along with a signed copy of the approval form. Please note Bessie Rhodes only distributes paper copies for families without internet access (30 copies). ONLY APPROVED FLYERS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED.

I want to walk right up to you on a salty aired beach at night. I want to wrap my two arms tightly around you and begin to sway and move with the flickering of the flames. I want to see your face glowing in the light that dances from cheek to cheek. It keeps the cool air at bay for the rest of them and us well, we never even needed to be near it with the warmth that our two hearts share when they are pressed together. Holding you close I continue to press myself to your chest and I move my mouth to yours for one of those kisses that I have craved for so long. I want to reunite with you there near the bonfire.
I first heard Southern Shores when CASCINE sent me a notice about their EP Atlantic which was a smooth meld of old and new sounds creating a laid back get down that should be universal for any music fan from the past twenty years. Their latest release comes in the form of a non EP track called Bonfire and don't let the fact that it didn't wind up on the EP deter you from having a listen as this could easily be A-side material. With a tropical sample laden intro leading the way the song quickly shifts into low drone bass tones and synth swathes before relaxed vocal overlays carry you away. Check out the video for the latest single through Vimeo here and have a listen to the single here through their Soundcloud. I for one can't wait to hear more as they make the perfect soundtrack for summer.

A mini dress with a floral print is not costly. Who said you have to buy it from a designer boutique? You can buy it from a normal outfits store as well be it of any brand. All that matters is how good it looks on you. The second thing you need is a white sneaker if your floral mini dress is black and a small backpack with sunglasses on will be the perfect affordable outfit for a day out.
* Now every girl likes feeling comfortable in an outfit but she fears whether her comfort will come in the way of fashion. Well, it will not, if you pair your normal white tee and boyfriend jeans with a Panama Hat to add a style note that catches attention and gives you a cool girl look where you didn't put any item that has cost you much.
* Another simple yet chic note we have seen is adding a printed and color splashed bag to a basic shirt and pants as your office wear. This is so much affordable, isn't it? You got to try this and you will be pretty much noticed by men and women as well.
* A velvet camisole with high waist skirt or pant is a must go casual wear with absolutely no accessories required, just basic sneakers are perfect. To add a style note you can add a blazer or a long shrug.
* An oversized knit is the latest addition to fall fashion and has been lately carried with so much grace in fashion weeks over a shirt or t-shirt and loose pants. These knits hardly cost much. And to this style, you can add ankle length boots or sandals.
* This one is important as it can be paired up for any season, any occasion and to any outfit and that is a classy or vibrant clutch which can be carried with so much grace along the street while you head towards a coffee shop or dinner date. And we hope you know clutches are always affordable.
* For a day that is cold but not chill, we think a woolen sweatshirt with no quotes or sayings printed with basic black leggings and boots will be perfect. You will look hot and you will feel warm too. Guess what a sweatshirt like that can be easily purchased from a store that has a sale, maybe a male sweater can do the job of being oversized and you can seek for comfort in them.
* A Pyjama suit is even worth a try, not the entire suit but just the shirt that has an abstract print which is already in trends. You can pair it up with a pencil skirt to run for a quick meeting at the office followed by a formal blazer which is normal yet the look is so much fresh.
All the above-mentioned styles are affordable and the best thing about these pickups is that they do not require much of your effort, just a skill which is something everybody is born with. It is sharpness as all you can be with your outfits is sharp and let that speak about your game-changing attitude and your dope personality.
