STATELINE, Nev.— Former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien had an eagle and three birdies Friday to take a two-point lead after the first round of the American Century Championship.
Rypien finished with 27 points at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course under the modified Stableford scoring system that awards graduated points for pars or better.
''I got it going on my first nine holes and scored 19 points on that side. By far my best in all the years I have played here,'' said Rypien, who started play on No. 10. ''The fountain of youth is not in my favor, but I think I am playing better golf now than when I first came out here.''
He eagled the par-5 16th, hitting a hybrid club to 8 feet.
Actor Lucas Black was second with 25 points, followed by former NFL quarterback Chris Chandler with 24. Former Denver quarterback John Elway, Golden State guard Steph Curry and former NHL player Jeremy Roenick were tied for fourth place with 22 points.
Defending champion Dan Quinn, a five-time winner and former NHL player, struggled with only 13 points.

One may fairly say that Linux has been unable to compete in the marketplace of commercial desktop operating systems because, well, it isn't one. It isn't in your face flogging its brand on mainstream media 24/7, with shelf space and retail outlets in every mall, and a price point to match. Advertising, distribution, point-of-sale packaging, profits, and bevies of ip lawyers aren't exactly cheap baggage, and it's all factored into the retail prices. Linux is just out there, freely available (literally) to anyone who can discover it, and I'm very glad to use it.
Miguel de Icaza has a rockstar complex that's proven a very bad fit in the open source community. It's always, all about him. Here's hoping he finds whatever he's looking for in Apple's closed garden, and will henceforth leave the linux community alone. We don't need no steenking rockstars, eh?

Two Artists Re-Imagine Ink-and-Brush Drawing
Artsy Editorial
Price includes frame.
Trained in both Chinese and Western painting, Hong Zhu An blends scroll painting with Western abstraction to create exquisitely layered paintings and works on paper full of visual harmony and subtlety. Whether working with fiery yellows, reds, and burnt oranges, or with muted beiges and matte black, he commands color, using it to effectively evoke states of mind and nature. He has blended swaths of soft greys and blues to represent calmness, and depicted rain through an impressionistic combination of beige, green, and pink. In keeping with Chinese artistic tradition, passages of calligraphy are an integral part of many of Hong's works. He often plays with the placement of text, giving his compositions a contemporary feel. For Hong, art-making is a form of energy transference—from the artist to the raw material, the completed work to the viewer.

According to appraisers at Bonhams, it's "crafted from 18-carat latticed yellow gold, set with large brilliant-cut diamonds and suspended diamond drops" — but all we know is that it looks adorable on our two-year-old when she gets into Mommy's closet!

There are few places in Southern California where you can find an all encompassing evening of entertainment including a gourmet meal and a Broadway style show. One of the few is the Candelight Pavilion Dinner Theatre in Claremont. It's a great place especially for celebrating a birthday or anniversary. In fact, Mick Bollinger, general manager, will introduce the celebrants to the audience prior to the show. Mick is part of the Bollinger family, which has been operating the Candelight Pavilion for 25 years. Yes, this is their Silver Anniversary.
The venue is large. It seats over 200 people.
There are a number of private boxes on the second story that can comfortably accommodate up to 9 people. On the main floor there are round tables that seat up to 6 as well as more private semicircular booths that seat 2 to 4.
A ticket to one of the ten shows per season includes the show itself, a gourmet dinner (salad and entrée) and pre-show entertainment. Appetizers, drinks and dessert are extra, but very affordable.
Appetizers, including Baked Brie and Shrimp with Sun Dried Tomato Provencal, range from 7-12 dollars. Desserts, and there are a number of truly yummy selections, are all under 10 dollars. My favorites: Southern Bread Pudding with a warm Jack Daniels sauce and Apple and Marscapone Strudel, baked and served with red hot cinnamon sauce and brown sugar sour cream. As for the entrees that are included in your ticket price: Slow Roasted Fajita Rubbed Tri Tip; Chicken Breast stuffed with black beans, corn salsa and jack cheese wrapped in a puff pastry and served with a chipotle cream sauce; Filet of Sole stuffed with salmon mousse; and for those with a yen for the spicy, Roasted Anaheim Chili stuffed with ancho-chili couscous.
The portions are really big, and I'd suggest not going overboard with appetizers, even though they're pretty terrific, or you may have to take the rest of the meal home in a doggie bag!
The service is excellent with the young staff well trained and friendly and knowledgeable about both food and beverage.
As you dine you can listen to Michael Ryan who provides relaxing and virtuosic classical guitar. His repertoire extends from Bach to the Beatles.
Then the show! The curtain rises to reveal a professionally staged musical on a large proscenium stage. The most recent: Tony Award winning "Man of La Mancha," one of the most popular hits, revived seven times on Broadway. The cast in Claremont includes many familiar faces to Candlelight regulars. The principal role of Cervantes/Don Quixote is portrayed by John Lalonde, current Artistic Director. His voice, as well as the others in this talented cast, are impressive, delivering such musical standards as " The Impossible Dream" and " Dulcinea." And while the music is prerecorded, it's dynamic and doesn't prove intrusive to the production.
Ticket prices: $48 per person matinees, $54 Thursday and Sunday evenings, $57 Friday evenings and $59 Saturday nights. There are also season subscriptions, group and special children's rates. You can go online to their website for details.

"I'm growing up and moving on."
James Wan is joking when he says this, explaining how The Conjuring is the first film he's made without his longtime collaborator Leigh Whannell, and without a cameo by Billy the Puppet, the icon from the film that launched Wan's career, Saw. But as The Conjuring prepares to arrive in theaters next month, it's clear Wan wasn't really joking at all. The Australian-born enfant terrible, who launched the entire "torture porn" sub genre when he brought Saw to the Sundance Film Festival at the ripe age of 26, has spent a decade building his name on blood, guts and death. But with both The Conjuring and Insidious 2 coming this summer, and production on Fast & Furious 7 starting, Wan is rising fast and in a lot of different directions… and The Conjuring wants to be first to prove that he doesn't need torture or creepy puppets to entertain the hell out of you.
Though it's arriving with an R-rating (on the set the producers said they were aiming for a PG-13), the 1970s-set, based-on-a-true-story The Conjuring is billing itself as a subtler, more character-driven riff on horror, a tale of possession and things that go bump in the night that's not so much about the tormented family, but the people who come in to save them. Ed and Lorraine Warren were a married pair of paranormal investigators who handled dozens of cases, including the possession at the center of The Amityville Horror, and were described on set as a kind of Nick and Nora Charles of ghost stories. Casting Patrick Wilson (of Wan's Insidious but also an Emmy and Tony nominee) and Vera Farmiga (of TV's Bates Motel) in itself is enough to promise a kind of classy horror story, and Wan cites The Exorcist and the original 1963 The Haunting as references for the mood and tone. "I think it's a more mature film that anything I've done," Wan says.
Last spring, on the Wilmington, N.C. set, The Conjuring was going by the title The Warren Files, which practically screamed "start of a franchise" (Wilson confirmed "Vera and I wouldn't have signed on for one not knowing that they didn't want to do more.") And the dead-simple plot of The Conjuring wouldn't be hard to replicate, especially given the dozens and dozens of cases the Warrens handled. For this one, it starts with a witch named Bathsheba who made a pact with the devil to return as an all-powerful demon-- "didn't quite work out that way," cracks producer Tony DeRosa-Grund. The tree where Bathsheba hung herself, a gnarled, hand-shaped black monstrosity which production designer Julie Berghoff calls "the most iconic part of the film for me," was emblazoned on many on-set logos, and is featured in the film's unsettling trailers like this one below:
Decades after Bathsheba hangs herself from the tree, the Perron family moves into her Rhode Island farmhouse, and the story from there is familiar-- unexplained happenings, odd behavior, and an inability to leave the house that's driving you crazy. Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston play parents Carolyn and Roger Perron, and a bevy of up-and-coming talents play the Perrons' five daughters, including White House Down's Joey King and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn's Mackenzie Foy. Though some producers suggested he trim the 5 daughters down to 3 to make them more manageable for the film, Wan insisted on keeping the original five, and all of the Perron daughters-- now in their 40s and 50s-- visited the Wilmington, N.C. set. According to producer Rob Cowan, daughter Cindy had "quite a reaction" to the sight of the film's witch, who is a stunt man in makeup. "She really said that was exactly what she looked like."
By the time of the scene we watched them shoot last April, Bathsheba was nowhere to be seen on the outside, but had come to possess mother Carolyn (it was day 38 of 40 of the shoot, and with Wan shooting chronologically, we were nearing a big finale that nobody wanted to tell us much about). In the scene Lili Taylor is walking down the stairs into her cellar to investigate-- classic horror movie mistake. To guide her way Taylor's character, Carolyn Perron, lights a series of matches, allowing them to burn down to her fingers before dropping them and plunging herself back into darkness. Face lit only by the match, Taylor looks terrified and on edge… but it's only going to get worse for her. When Taylor was done the crew began setting up wires for the stuntwoman, who would be flung unwillingly around the room as the witch Bathsheba possesses Carolyn's body. As the Perrons themselves recalled it, the witch took special interest in the mother; Livingston met the real Roger Perron and explains, "He thought she [the witch] kind of had a thing for him and wanted to get rid of his wife, you know?" An image of Carolyn mid-possession, dangling above the cellar, is on the next page.

Most were arrested in the U.S., but there are civilians arrested in China, Turkey, Egypt and New Zealand.

On so-called burreros , the deputy director general of protection policies, the general direction of protection of Mexicans abroad Foreign Ministry Bernachi Alfonso Navarro said: "There have been many cases where we see that they tell people ' hey, I give five thousand dollars for bringing this package to a specific airport in the world ', and it turns out later accused of crimes end up in remote countries. "
Many of these people even travel without telling your family. Bernachi Navarro said that the Foreign Ministry preventive campaigns in the reporting of the risks of lending to drug trafficking. In his office there is a sign with a happy, with suitcase in hand and a globe on his back with the legend "Do not take a trip 'all paid'."
Prison sentences in the United States vary depending on the state concerned and the amount of drug that leads the person but can range from five to over 20.
In turn, Dr. Jose Maria Ramos, director of the Department of Public Administration Studies at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, said that increased incarceration of Mexicans in the United States has to do with it continues to grow drug trafficking and cartels Mexicans continue to hire or forcing immigrants to take loads of drugs to cross the border.
Foreign Ministry figures refer only to cases of people who sought consular assistance from Mexico, but there may be many more, as there are Mexicans who do not seek help, some because they want their family will find out or because they have prior criminal record. In other cases the authority of the country that fails to warn stops are entitled to consular assistance to Mexican authorities.
In requesting aid, personal protection area for Mexicans Abroad Mexican Consulate interview with them and gives them to know what their rights are, in the case of the U.S., explains that they will have a public defender and in specific cases are given support to a member of the External legal assistance program (PALE).
According to Navarro Bernachi in the United States the authority provides a form where the detainee must be marked with an X whether or not to receive assistance from the Mexican consulate, this according to the Vienna Convention on consular law, but there are also cases in that the U.S. authority does not comply with this obligation

Its sort of shaped like a large television, that was my first thought but it seems pretty dangerous
I thought somewhere in the TAR12 Spoiler thread someone mentioned the Anne Frank house. That is in Amsterdam. Could it be a part of the detour with hoisting stuff to the 3rd floor?
a few more new frames Someone in blue, a blonde behind Jason in the mud --
OK so it looks like the sisters aren't in first after all since they are somewhere around Kate and Pat who appear to be further behind. Maybe the sisters are just glad that they didn't get eliminated.

Hi, I found North and Hillard's Greek composition book in the Library here at Textkit and was wondering if anyone knows if the book Hillard and Botting made to serve as an introduction to that text, Elementary Greek Exercises, was also available somewhere online for download. I've been looking around for it, but no luck.
Thank you for time.

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — Security forces in Bahrain have fired tear gas to prevent protesters from reaching the house of a jailed human rights activist who is the focus of an international campaign seeking his release.
Riot police clashed with hundreds of marchers trying to gather at the home of Nabeel Rajab, who has been sentenced to two years in prison on charges of backing "illegal" protests.
Authorities also set up roadblocks to keep cars from reaching the house.
Rajab, head of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, is among dozens of activists and political figures jailed during the more than two-year unrest in the Gulf kingdom.
Majority Shiites in the Sunni-ruled nation are seeking a greater political voice.
International rights groups have called for Bahrain to release Rajab and other jailed activists.

Redefining the Classroom
How some of the most sought after courses on campus are pushing boundaries
by Melissa Sue Sorrells '05
Question: What do 20,000 poets, a homemade animation film and a riparian buffer have in common?
Answer: They're all innovative teaching strategies supported by grants from the Center for Teaching and Learning during the 2008-2009 academic year.
Each semester, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) awards several grants to faculty members who have designed a course that will transform the classroom and spark student interest.
"These grants provide resources for faculty who are interested in engaging students in learning while developing their own creative teaching skills," says Director of CTL Dr. Susan Pliner. "Innovative learning environments challenge and benefit students, but they also give faculty the means to stretch themselves as teachers."
By supporting innovative teaching, the CTL grants contribute to the overall academic rigor of Hobart and William Smith and highlight the importance of interdisciplinary teaching, demanding educational standards and experiential learning.
"Students learn best when they're actively involved in their learning," says Assistant Professor of English Lauren Alleyne, a recent CTL awardee who came to the Colleges in 2007 from Cornell and Chatham Universities.
The following are descriptions of some of the courses from the 2008- 2009 academic year that have and are benefiting from a CTL grant.
Fall 2008: Surrounded By Poets
Just three weeks into the academic year, Alleyne used her CTL grant to place her students in the middle of nearly 20,000 poets during the annual Dodge Poetry Festival in New Jersey for four straight, full days of readings, panel discussions and workshops.
"The sheer immersion widened their scope of the power and possibility of poetry and has completely changed how they read - and see - poetry," says Alleyne.
"Dodge was poetry overload in a great way," says Jennie Seidewand '09. "As a non-poet, it helped me process the idea of political poetry and what it can do. It was such a positive, empowering experience."
Ben Michalak '09 had a slightly different experience. "It was completely overwhelming - I'm still processing it, months later. But, as a poet, it was invigorating. I wrote a lot while I was there and it felt great to be around the creative process."
Before the Festival, Alleyne's Political Poetry class had read works by Iranian poet Roger Sedarat. During the Festival, they had the opportunity to hear Sedarat read his own work live and, afterward, to interview him.
"Listening to Sedarat helped them understand the concept of voice in writing," says Alleyne. "But actually meeting him face-to face and being able to ask him questions helped them understand the concept of context. Afterward, Sedarat told me that he thought they were some of the sharpest undergraduate students he'd ever met."
"Meeting Sedarat was eye-opening," says Seidewand. "I learned a lot of things that I wouldn't expect. For example, I think of him as a really gutsy political poet, but he told us that he was afraid to say certain things in his writing and would consider publishing under a pseudonym."
In the end, the trip not only exposed students to new ways of thinking about poetry but also helped bond the class in a palpable way and made the classroom experience that much more meaningful.
"The festival was a great collective experience, and I felt like our sheer exhaustion and the awesomeness of it all brought us a lot closer," says Michalak. "Whenever students can bring a shared experience to the classroom, it makes the learning experience that much stronger."
Fall 2008: Taking it in Together
At HWS, it's not out of the ordinary for faculty members to invite their students over for dinner, but actually traveling with undergraduates can be transformative, as it was for Assistant Professor of Psychology Jon Iuzzini, who used his CTL grant to take students from his Political Psychology course to New York City.
"Traveling together as a group was a great, unexpected experience," Iuzzini says. "It allowed us to immediately reflect in ways that wouldn't have been possible if we'd gone to a lecture on campus together and reconvened to talk about it the next day. It enhanced the experience."
During their trip, the class visited the Museum of the City of New York where they learned about the history of political campaigns. They delved into the philosophical and religious aspects of campaigns through lectures by activist and philosopher Cornel West and moral philosopher Susan Neiman.
"The trip added a great depth to our in-class conversations. We were able to make a real connection between what they saw and heard in New York and our readings," Iuzzini explains.
In his attempt to actively connect his students to the 2008 presidential election, Iuzzini brought many different disciplines to the table, another hallmark of a rigorous classroom environment.
"The class was totally interdisciplinary," says Nick Hecht '10. "We integrated the psychological aspects of a political campaign with different subject areas in our discussions and writing. As a class, we agreed to try to open it up beyond the limits of psychology."
"The experience helped me better understand the power of incorporating different disciplines into my teaching," Iuzzini says. "I teach psychology, but bringing in other ideas enriches the classroom experience for everyone."
Fall 2008: Film-Making 101
Opening the course up to different disciplines also had an impact on Assistant Professor of Russian Area Studies David Galloway's classes, two sections of a First-Year Seminar titled Tales of the Village Idiot.
The sections met independently on Monday and Wednesday to read and discuss Russian folklore, but both classes met together on Fridays for an extended period to work on a 6-inch scale, 11-minute film retelling of a Russian folktale.
Galloway split the classes into groups to work on different parts of the project, from writing a complete soundtrack and creating sound effects to building tiny sets and figures and recording all of the dialogue in Russian.
"Making the movie was fun, but it also helped us process what we were learning in class about Russian life and allowed us to explore other subject areas," says Melissa Warner '12, who worked in the costuming group. "For example, I met with upper-class art students to learn more about sculpting foam and bringing our little figures to life, and the sound effects group met with faculty from the music department."
The then recently-opened Rosensweig Learning Commons also acted as a resource for the budding filmmakers: members of the CTL staff helped with costuming, members of the library staff assisted with background research, and staff from Instructional Technology taught students how to use the Colleges' digital video and editing equipment.
In the end, the film was a success, receiving a standing ovation during its campus debut during finals week. It was also recognized as a finalist in the animation category during the local G-13 Film Festival. "When I, as a teacher, want to be in the class instead of running it, I know I'm doing something right," says Galloway.
Spring 2009: Learning Through Play
Having fun while learning was literally a topic of conversation in a course taught by Assistant Professor of Psychology Julie Kingery. This semester, her CTL grant enabled Kingery to add a twist to her Child Psychology course: a visit to the Strong Museum of Play.
"The trip gave us an opportunity to see the theories and concepts we're reading about in action," says Kingery. "It also gave students the opportunity to use the observational methods we've talked about in a real life situation. It's something I think they'll all remember, and I couldnt have provided this unique experience without the grant."
"It was so beneficial to be able to observe children in this setting," says Shana Allen '11. "Watching children play confirmed what we have learned about the stages of motor and cognitive development and gave me a better understanding of how children learn through play."
Fall 2008: Conservation in Action
Seeing classroom concepts translated to real-life gave the students in Assistant Professor of Biology Meghan Brown's Conservation Biology course a new understanding of lakefront preservation.
After learning the biological basics of conservation, the class visited undeveloped lakefronts on Canadice and Hemlock Lakes.
They were able to take photos, collect data and test hypotheses during their visits, and then returned to the classroom to compare that with Geneva's developed lakefront property around Seneca Lake.
"I wanted the class to observe conservation in action," explains Brown, who used the CTL grant to fund the trips as well as provide cameras and canoes. "All of the principles of conservation biology they'd learned over the course of the semester came into play as they explored the biological impact of developing a lakefront property."
After setting the stage with trips to local lakes, the students prepared grant proposals of their own, each designed to conserve a local habitat, and presented them to the class as part of their final projects.
"This course was not only engaging, but it also helped me realize my true calling as a biologist and my true passion for ecological activism," says Melissa Gaydos '09. "Professor Brown held us to the highest expectations in the classroom and in the field, and in doing so, she helped me realize the kind of person I have the potential to become."
Spring 2009: Presenting at Wilson
Associate Professor of Biology Mark Deutschlander's CTL grant course, Origin, Oration and Ornithology, is also helping students realize their potential.
After analyzing research about the physiology of migratory song birds collected by the Braddock Bay Bird Observatory, the nonprofit observatory where Deutschlander serves as president of the board of directors, the students will present posters about their findings during both the annual meeting of the Wilson Ornithological Society in Pittsburgh and the HWS Senior Symposium.
"There's a huge difference between when a student reflects on their work and when they are asked to present it as an authority on the subject," says Deutschlander. "If they can explain their findings to other scientists, I'll know they understand the material."
"I have never done any indepth research like this, but I find it fascinating," says Bethany Bashaw '10. "I am also very excited about attending the Wilson Conference - it's a rare opportunity for an undergraduate to be able to highlight their own work at a professional conference."
While at the Wilson Ornithological Society meeting, Deutschlander hopes that his students will come face-to-face with the scientists whose work they've been reading. "I want them to be able to see scientists in their element," he explains. "I hope they get a sense of the social aspects of science because one of the most important things we do as scientists is come together to talk about new ideas and give each other feedback."
Spring 2009: Rebuilding a Buffer
Educating others and providing environmental leadership are cornerstones of Restoration Ecology, a CTL grant course taught by Assistant Professor of Biology Susan Flanders Cushman '98. Her students are promoting awareness of restoration to students from the Canandaigua Academy Ecology Club.
In addition to creating fact sheets about riparian buffers for the high school students, Cushman's class is also planning a daylong community restoration event, where both groups will come together to rebuild a riparian buffer, planting trees and shrubs along Sucker Brook in Canandaigua to restore the ecology of the watershed.
"My goal is to have them take a leadership role," says Cushman, who has traveled to the planting site with her students several times to scout the site and learn more about their impact on the stream. "If they can explain restoration ecology to high school students, they'll become environmental stewards for the rest of their lives."
Fall 2008: Becoming Immigrants
Figuring out how to make a lasting impression on students was a big factor for Assistant Professor of Writing and Rhetoric Neeta Bhasin as she planned her CTL grant course, Immigrant Experiences.
"My goal was to humanize immigrants for the students. We have to understand why immigrants come here and what they face before we can begin to debate the issue," she says. "I wanted to make sure that they walked away with a clear and memorable understanding of immigrant life."
The grant allowed Bhasin to take the group to the Tenement Museum in New York City, where the class donned costumes and became a (very large) Greek immigrant family in 1916, meeting other immigrant families and trying to find employment and a place to live.
"The Tenement Museum is not your average 'stand and look' kind of museum; it's more active," explains Sarah Canavan '12. "We were shocked by how immigrants from different cultures treated one another. They wouldn't help us at all, and the living conditions were just shocking. We visited some apartments where there were 11 or more people living in a space the size of my room on campus."
In addition to their trip to New York's Tenement Museum, Bhasin was able to bring in guest speakers from La Casa (a local migrant shelter), Farm Workers Legal Service, NY Civil Liberties Union, Migrant Health Service and the Rape and Abuse Crisis Service, giving students another kind of first-hand experience.
"I can stand up in front of the class and say whatever I want, but when we heard from immigrants or people who work with immigrants on a daily basis, it made things very clear," Bhasin explains. "The reality is that many of these stories are very sad, and you can't intellectualize it. We had to deal with our emotions because the facts weren't going to go away, and that brought real depth to the course."
Spring 2009: Somatic Investigation
The CTL grant helped Assistant Professor of Dance Michelle Iklé bring depth to a field that many of her students had already encountered: somatics.
"The field of somatics encompasses eastern and western approaches to mind-body wellness," says Iklé. "I ask my students to Google it, and they quickly recognize how vast the field is while also identifying modalities that they may already be familiar with. My goal was to simultaneously broaden and deepen all of our knowledge of this field."
Unlike other courses in the dance department, the intermediate technique and theory course in somatics isn't about becoming a better dancer; instead it's about the experiences of the human body in everyday life.
"This course isn't just for dancers; it's for everyone," says Iklé. "It's about learning to make better choices about how we move."
By welcoming experts from five different areas of somatics, Iklé hopes to explore the subject with breadth and depth.
"My own somatics training is very broad, so bringing in various practitioners, like a cranialsacral expert and a teacher of the Alexander technique, to give an indepth, hands-on training session is a great educational benefit," she says.
Her students, in addition to practicing somatic techniques on themselves and each other, will work with members of the campus community, imparting the somatic training they've learned, as part of their final projects.
"Applying the material we've read to my real life and the real lives of the people around me truly enriches and enhances my understanding of the concepts," says Kathryn Bowering '11. "When we work with the practitioners, I can physically feel what we were studying, and that's a really effective way of learning."

I've Lost Over 50 Pounds! *
I have lost over 50lbs since the beginning of my Fit Body journey, but it is not all about the weight loss. I have gained confidence in myself and have become a healthier person. I am leaner, more toned and far fitter than before. Even my family, friends and colleagues have noticed the difference.
- Reidun Kopp
I'm Hooked! Can't Get Enough *
I have lost 50lbs and over 40 inches. I have learned so much about nutrition and exercise and how to make them both work together. What I have gained the most is the Fit Body Boot Camp family, the support and encouragement you get from the other campers is truly amazing. I do not know where I would be now without FBBC!!!
- Jenn G.
Dropped 6 Sizes and 40 Pounds! *
With the proper tips from my Fit Body Boot Camp trainer, guidance from her and the awesome team behind me, I have DOUBLED my calorie intake, dropped 6 pant sizes and 40 pounds! More importantly, I FEEL GREAT! I have way more ENERGY, not tired like I was before, a positive outlook and I FEEL STRONG! Love the way I feel!!! FBBC has helped me create a new lifestyle!!!
- Cara
Look At Me Now! *
I started at FBBC about a year ago after giving birth to my second child. I have lost about 45 pounds and gained a ton of muscle, better eating habits, and a fitness family that encourages each other and makes working out and meeting fitness goals fun. Thank you coaches for believing in me and helping me succeed. I am still on a journey but couldn't be more proud to show you my hard work!!
- Rochelle DeClerk
Embrace FBBC family! *
It finally hit me: At 34 and standing 6'3" tall, I was 270 lbs, always tired, unproductive, and uncomfortable with my shirt off. Thanks to FBBC, I lost 40 lbs and 5 inches around my waist, and I was even able to play basketball with energy again. FBBC's flexible schedule, 30 minute workouts, eating guidance, and tight-knit culture got me results, period. If you are disciplined, consistent, and patient enough, it will change your life too!
- Thiago Melo
I Couldn't do it Alone *
My goal was to trim some more inches, reduce my body fat % and to get stronger by building muscle and body definition. FBBC helped me do just that and at 47 years old I am excited to finally have the beach bikini body I had always wished for! I am definitely in the best physical shape of my entire life!
- Laurie Blizzard
It's Total, Complete Health *
I decided to get back into shape weighing 250lbs. My trainer recommended an eating style, not a diet, and I was told with regular intense exercise my goal would become reachable. Since then I have lost a grand total of 20lbs. My goal is complete health; physique, metabolic, flexibility, and great eating habits.
- Shawn S.
I started my fitness journey a little over a year ago and I love the results. FBBC has made me stronger than I've ever been. I've lost 10 lbs, 19 inches, and 8% body fat. I love the group atmosphere, encouragement, and friendship of my FitFam. The workouts are strategically designed each day, and are challenging but not impossible. Sore today, strong tomorrow! Just stick with it and results will happen!! FBBC was the best decision I have ever made.
- Rene Edmounds
The Trainers are Amazing *
I've gotten stronger, more toned, and healthier AND I have lost 50 pounds! I started out at a size 36, I now fit into a 31. Coaches are amazing here. They motivate, offer positive feedback, and guide your workouts. Plus they are fun, positive, and motivating, so they keep the group energy light and fun, which really helps on days when you maybe don't feel like working out.

LOWELL, Mass. ߝ UMass Lowell has received a $614,691 grant from NASA to create unique methods of educating K-12 and college students about the science of global climate change. The award was announced today at a climate change "Teach-In" at UMass Lowell.
"Engaging students in the development of new and different ways to communicate the science of climate change is key to a deeper understanding of this critical global issue," said Chancellor Marty Meehan. "As a university, we are committed to cutting our carbon footprint. We are making strides by constructing LEED-certified buildings, using electric cars and installing solar energy systems on four campus buildings."
The project "Climate Change Education: Science, Solutions, and Education in an Age of Media" will get underway this month. It will integrate climate change science with video to create a unique and stimulating approach to global climate change education. Students will gain an understanding of cutting-edge science and of the media through which they access information.
Congresswoman Niki Tsongas, who kicked off the Climate Change Teach-In event today at UMass Lowell, said "I want to congratulate Chancellor Meehan and university faculty for leading this unique initiative. Expanding understanding about climate change is the first step in finding solutions to its harmful impacts. Not only is tackling climate change critical for our planet's future, but the clean energy technology that allows us to do so holds tremendous economic opportunity for our country and the Fifth District, in particular, which has one the highest concentrations of clean energy employers in New England."
Under the grant, videos produced by students will incorporate their peers' questions, concerns, and perspectives on climate change. Students will learn to 'write' in the language of video and, through this experience, they will gain a deeper and more sophisticated literacy in a medium that is emerging as a major means of communication.
"In today's media world of twitter, blogs, and sound bites, confusion about the scientific reality of climate change frequently dominates the discourse in classrooms and communities," said Associate Prof. Juliette Rooney-Varga who is the lead researcher on the project and an expert on the ecological consequences of climate change. "We aim to change this by integrating climate change science with the expressive power of video to create a unique and stimulating approach to global climate change education."
The expected outcomes of the project include new climate change courses at UMass Lowell, the development of a high school summer video program and professional development training for teachers. UMass Lowell students will have an opportunity to apply for paid summer internships working with Cambridge high school students during a climate change video production summer program.
UMass Lowell is partnering with Cambridge Educational Access TV, TERC, Sage Fox Consulting Inc., Carleton College and filmmaker Randy Olson.
UMass Lowell, with a national reputation in science, engineering and technology, is committed to educating students for lifelong success in a diverse world and conducting research and outreach activities that sustain the economic, environmental and social health of the region. The university offers its 14,000 students more than 120 degree choices, internships, five-year combined bachelor's to master's programs and doctoral studies in the colleges of Arts, Sciences, Engineering and Management, the School of Health and Environment, and the Graduate School of Education. www.uml.edu

The White Queen
Elizabeth Woodville is a woman of extraordinary beauty and ambition. Her mother is Jacquetta, also known as the mystical lady of the rivers, and she is even more determined to bring power and wealth to the family line. While riding in the woods one day, Elizabeth captures the attentions of the newly crowned King Edward IV and, despite her common upbringing, marries him in secret.
When she is raised up to be his queen, the English court is outraged, but Elizabeth rises to the demands of her exalted position and fights for her family's dominance. Yet despite her best efforts, and even with the help of her mother's powers, her two sons become pawns in a famous unsolved mystery that has confounded historians for centuries: the lost princes in the Tower of London.
In this dazzling account of the deadly Wars of the Roses, brother turns on brother to win the ultimate prize: the throne of England.

Questions For Discussion
1. Discuss Elizabeth's first few encounters with Edward and her motives for seeking him out. Do they marry for love? Did you find it surprising that Edward defied his mentor Warwick and upheld his secret marriage to Elizabeth? Why or why not?
2. How does Elizabeth and Edward's clandestine marriage change England's political landscape?
3. Anthony tells Elizabeth that she and Edward are creating enemies by distributing wealth to their "favorites, not the deserving" (page 204). What are your thoughts on Edward and Elizabeth as monarchs? How adept is Elizabeth at playing the political game, both before and after Edward's death?
4. What is your view of Elizabeth as a daughter, a sister, and a mother? Her daughter Elizabeth says to her, "You love the crown more than your children" (page 312). Does Elizabeth, in fact, place her ambition ahead of her children's well-being? How does she regard her daughters versus her sons?

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky has been able overcome inconsistent play on defense and from centers to stay within striking distance of first-place Florida heading into the second half of Southeastern Conference play. The 18th-ranked Wildcats (17-5, 7-2) have shown improvement in both areas and feel good about where they are in the standings.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky has been able overcome inconsistent play on defense and from centers to stay within striking distance of first-place Florida heading into the second half of Southeastern Conference play.
The 18th-ranked Wildcats (17-5, 7-2) have shown improvement in both areas and feel good about where they are in the standings.
Kentucky begins a two-game road swing Saturday at Mississippi State, which it beat 85-63 a month ago. Wildcats coach John Calipari said Friday he expects a tougher rematch in Starkville, followed by another challenge Wednesday at Auburn.
Kentucky carries a two-game winning streak into its meeting against the Bulldogs (13-9, 3-6), including Tuesday night's 80-64 win over Mississippi.
"It will be a hard game for us," Calipari said of the game at Mississippi State. "They're not going to walk away from us. This is a great challenge and they left our game saying, 'we can beat these guys.'"
Against Ole Miss, the Wildcats showed how good they can be— when they're focused.
Rejuvenated center Willie Cauley-Stein had 18 points and 11 rebounds to lead five Wildcats in double figures and break the game open after leading 35-34 at halftime. Kentucky shot 63 percent in the second half and 51 percent overall while holding the Rebels to 39 percent from the floor and dominating nearly every statistical category.
The victory followed last weekend's win at Missouri, a much-needed road win.
Senior guard Jarrod Polson believes Kentucky is more prepared for this next road swing that could determine if the Wildcats gain or lose ground in their efforts to catch Florida.
"I think they've already learned that any road game in the SEC is tough," Polson said. "It doesn't matter what team you're playing on the road in the SEC, it's going to be a dogfight. We know that and we're going to be ready for the challenge."
Kentucky will certainly face its share of gut checks in its final nine SEC games, including five on the road.
Following these next two road games, the Wildcats will face Florida twice along with home rematches against Arkansas and LSU, which handed Kentucky its only league losses last month. They also travel to Oxford for a road against Mississippi and guard Marshall Henderson, who figures to be eager for another shot at Kentucky after being held to 6 of 18 shooting on Tuesday at Rupp.
There's also a road game at South Carolina and a home contest against Alabama before Kentucky closes the regular season at Florida.
Calipari said the Gators are "head and shoulders above everyone else right now."
But the coach doesn't want his squad getting ahead of itself. Kentucky must deal with a Mississippi State team trying to end a four-game losing streak.
The Bulldogs were tied with Texas A&M at halftime before going scoreless for more than 10 minutes in the second half and losing 72-52 Wednesday night. The Aggies shot 69 percent in the second half and put the game away with a 20-2 run.
Kentucky meanwhile has shot better than 50 percent in its past two games and aims to continue its success at Mississippi State. While it's tempting to think ahead toward the Gators, Polson insisted that the team is focused on this game as it tries building a steady performance necessary to beat the unbeaten Gators.
Said Polson, "We're just worried about ourselves."

CONTACT: Cathy Markwith (King George Animal Rescue League) [email protected]
Cat Rescues - please take a look at this kitty. Laurie Gibb, one of our KGARL volunteers, was helping a nice man here in King George trap some cats on his property to get in for s/n. He told Laurie that someone recently dumped this little girl on his property, and she obviously had something wrong with one of her back legs. Laurie was good enough to take her to one of our local vets. It was determined that her leg could not be saved and amputation is recommended.
We urgently need a rescue that can take Brianna immediately after her amputation, as we do not have anyone available to care for her during her recovery. KGARL is prepared to pay for the amputation, and Laurie is now checking to see when the surgery could be done, but most importantly is, we MUST have a rescue immediately after surgery to transport her to.
Please let me know RIGHT AWAY if you can help Brianna.
Below for more info is what Laurie reported back to the KGARL Board regarding Brianna:
The stray black cat Mr. Irby called me about is very friendly and is a girl 9-12 months old; we are calling her Brianna.
The damaged back leg was broken mid femur some time ago, and Dr Gibbons says it will need to come off. There is so much damage and atrophy that amputation is the only real option, but she should do fine after. The raw wound on the paw top is from dragging. He thought Brianna certainly has discomfort but not acute pain. Pain meds could make her groggy and more likely to catch it on something. Xrays were not needed, although it's possible the surgeon may want some. The FELV/FIV test was neg/neg so that is fabulous.
I recommend trying to find a rescue to take Brianna - maybe try whoever took Hemingway a couple years back. I am able to house her for a couple days. but I can't provide the close attention she would need for recovery / rehab.
Just got estimate at Princess Anne to remove the back leg of the injured cat, Brianna, from Mr Irby's trailer park. Dr Gibbons recommends that the spay be done at a later time since an amputation is already stressful enough on a cat. I have asked them to determine when they might be able to do the surgery so I will call back tomorrow.
