Gurnee mayoral candidates Kovarik and Morris differ on term limits
Gurnee's mayoral candidates differ on the whether the village should have term limits for elected positions.
Mayor Kristina Kovarik faces village board Trustee Kirk Morris in the April 9 election. In addition to term limits, the candidates disagree on a variety of issues including money spent on a marketing campaign meant to lure shoppers and diners to the village.
Kovarik, a former village trustee, was elected to her first 4-year term as mayor in 2005. Morris was elected as a village board trustee in 2009.
Both candidates were participating in a recent Daily Herald editorial board endorsement interview when the term limits subject arose.
Morris, who was unsuccessful when he ran in a Republican congressional primary in 2008, said having no more than two terms at any political level is a reasonable time to serve. He said term limits in Gurnee "is something we should be doing," because fresh perspectives and ideas would be gained with more turnover.
"Career politicians are not advantageous to the community," Morris said. "But is advantageous to incumbents."
If elected mayor, Morris added, he would limit himself to two, 4-year terms if there is no formal mechanism in place.
Kovarik said she's never supported term limits because politicians should not deny choices for voters. She said term limits imply voters are incapable of making ballot selections.
"I have to earn it every term," Kovarik said. "And the voters will decide if there should be an end to somebody's period as the mayor. The career politician? I'm not making a living at this, so I don't want to put the term 'career' on it."
On another issue they addressed in a Daily Herald questionnaire, Morris said he'd push to end the Gurnee's Got It! marketing campaign that's been funded with public money in an effort to bring more visitors to village businesses. He contends the village has pumped nearly $140,000 into the program over three years, which features a website and coupons, but there is no data showing increased sales revenue.
"As stewards of the public treasury, the residents have entrusted the board to utilize the minimal revenue to the best value-to-spending ratios available," he said.
Kovarik said Gurnee's Got It! was designed to promote shopping and dining in the village, with an estimated $67,000 in expenses over three years. She said far less than 1 percent of the village's budget has gone toward the campaign.
"Many of our smaller businesses struggled during the downturn in the economy and could not afford marketing or advertising," Kovarik said, "and with the village offering a low-cost opportunity, it helped. The village has to be proactive in supporting and protecting our primary sources of revenue to fund public services."

Monarchs in must-win situation Thursday night in ManchesterBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 01. 2013 6:54PM
The Monarchs, the No. 7 seed in the American Hockey League's Eastern Conference, certainly have shown they can play with No. 2 seed Springfield.
But now they must beat the Falcons.
The Monarchs, who dropped a pair of overtime decisions at Springfield on Saturday and Sunday, face their first elimination game in the best-of-five quarterfinal series tonight at 7 at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
"I thought we had a pretty good weekend and the guys were working pretty hard," said Monarchs forward Andy Andreoff. "I guess at the end the bounces didn't go our way. That's the way it goes in playoff hockey. Anything can happen. But there's still three more game left for us and I'm sure we can do it."
Perhaps, there are three games left.
The Monarchs need a win tonight to force a Game 3 at the Verizon on Saturday night and need another win then to send the series back to Springfield for a winner-advances game on Sunday afternoon.
The first order of business is continuing to play tight defense and get the good goaltending from Martin Jones that took the first two games to overtime.
The next goals are to boost an offense that resulted in a 2-1 overtime loss on Saturday and 3-2 overtime setback on Sunday and to stay out of the penalty box.
"It's a game of inches and the margin of error is very, very small," said Monarchs coach Mark Morris. "We've had very little production, we haven't had any production, from our scoring lines. It's a credit to the way Springfield's played and their maturity. Our guys have got to learn to battle through that, though."
Linden Vey (22 goals and 45 assists for 67 points), Brandon Kozun (26-30-56), Tanner Pearson (19-28-47) and Jordan Weal (15-18-33) were the team's top scorers in the regular season, but none of them has a point though the first two games.
"We're a young team and they're facing older, more experienced players and their being off the score sheet speaks volumes,' Morris said. "Our productivity is coming from our depth line guys that aren't known as goal scorers. This is playoff hockey and we've got to get gritty and our power play has been ineffective. That boils down to winning loose pucks and going to the hard areas."
Special teams bit the Monarchs in Springfield.
The first goal they gave up on Saturday night came on a penalty shot. They were 0-for-4 on the power play on Saturday and 1-for-3 on Sunday.
Springfield had eight power play chances on Sunday and scored once. The winning goal in overtime, though, came just seconds after the Monarchs killed the last of their penalties.
The Monarchs must also find a way to keep pesky Cody Bass in check. Out most of the year with an injury, he had two goals and five assists in his 18 regular season games. Then he went out and scored the overtime winner in each of the first two games.
"He's a grinder," Morris said. "That's what he is. He's been in the playoffs before and he's a veteran.
The Monarchs have an added chore tonight, too. They must also deal with Falcon reinforcements in forward Ryan Johansen and defenseman Dalton Prout. Both spent the second half of the season with the parent Columbus Blue Jackets and became available when the big-league team came up just short of the NHL playoffs on Saturday night.
They got to Springfield in time for Sunday's game, but were held out and are expected to play tonight.
The Monarchs hope they get to play Johansen and Prout and the rest of the Falcons a couple more times, too.
"I think we know we can beat them, just bringing them to overtime twice," said defenseman Nick Deslauriers. "They're not a better team than us. Their goalie (Curtis McElhinney) has been playing good and Jonesy's been playing awesome. ... I think the guys are ready. Home ice. Bring a good show in front of our fans and try to win two and go back there and win the last one."
Andreoff had assists on two of Manchester's three goals last weekend. Deslauriers had one of the goals on Sunday with Andreoff and Jones, the goalie, assisting. Deslauriers also had an assist on Saturday when his shot from the point deflected off the skate of forward Brian O'Neill and in. ... Jones and McElhinney each saw 73 shots in the first two games. Jones stopped 68 and McElhinney 70.

That's true, the first time takes longer, but the second time also has a delay.Kikito wrote:I get this problem as well, but notice it happening mostly the first time I open the menu after turning on the computer or when opening the menu after a long time of not using it (2-3 hrs).
For me the delay comes back quicker, like in half an hour, or after installing new software, updates, any combination of computer usage brings back the delay.
But whether or not we're talking about the initial long delay or the follow up shorter delays, the thing that surprises me is that there are apparently people who have NO delay. And at the same time, it looks like it is hardware independent.

I was thinking, if I could write a letter to Antoine Winfield to try and convince him to come to Seattle like back in the old days before the internet made it seem creepy to do so (LOL), what would I say? Well, here's what I would say to him.
Dear Mr. Winfield,
When word broke that the Vikings handed you your release on March 12th, the 12th Man immediately perked up and thought about the possibilities. This is a very smart fan base, one that actually knows about other teams and players around the league. A lot of that has to do with years of futility, spent toiling away watching draft prospect after draft prospect, hoping for someone who could help turn things around. Even you, for instance, were once a possibility to help turn the Seahawks around coming out of college. Buckeye/Seahawk (they exist, we are everywhere) fans everywhere must have been going nuts in 1999 when the Seahawks were on the clock and you were still on the board. They must have gone even crazier when Seattle pulled the trigger on Lamar King of Saginaw Valley State. With all due respect to Mr. King, he's not the guy a grown man is writing an open letter to right now.
Ask any Vikings fan about you and your release is still a sore subject to them. As is your potential departure. This shows the type of player you were during your time with the Vikings and the player you still are. It also shows what kind of leadership you bring to the team and the respect you command in the community. All of these things must be tough to leave behind. You've got your family situated in Minnesota. I can't imagine this kind of decision. I uprooted once. From New York City to Pullman, Washington but that was just a kid going to college. This wasn't a man leading his family halfway across the damn country. I actually think that I respect you most for still considering staying in Minnesota despite the fact that you were given your release. I think that speaks a lot to the type of character you possess and it's impressive in this day and age.
But Antoine, the city of Seattle needs you. No, the city of Seattle deserves you. You've paid your dues to the league. You paid your dues to the great cities of Buffalo (love the grit!) and Minnesota. You and Seattle deserve each other. Now it's time to cash in on what you deserve. A legitimate chance at a championship. The ever elusive ring that's somehow, wrongfully, managed to evade you for the past 14 years. Over those 14 years you've made play after play at times when your team needed you most. The reckless abandon that you play with, while now being frowned upon around the league, is not something foreign to the Seattle Seahawks. Antoine, you were destined to be a Seahawk. Watching one of your highlight reels is enough to give you chills and make you wonder "wait, this is during an NFL game?!" all the while making you smile because you're glad that players like Antoine Winfield still exist.
It's important that you know that you'd be filling some pretty big shoes. Marcus Trufant, much like yourself, has always been a humble, hard-working guy who has deep-rooted ties to the area. He's played here his whole life, from high school to the NFL. Sadly, it seems that his run with the Hawks might be coming near an end, but I couldn't think of a more honorable replacement than Antoine Winfield. In a dream scenario, the man we call Tru would be on the sidelines helping coach the crew we call the "Legion of Boom" to a Super Bowl victory this season. I know you're a student of the game, so you've watched the film on the Seahawks secondary countless times, but you'd be a perfect fit. The passion, the physicality, the reckless abandon, you've all got that gift. Who knows, maybe you could even teach them a thing or two back there. I wouldn't doubt it. You're that damn good.
Regardless of the decision you make (unless it's Washington!), everyone will understand, especially us Seahawks fans. At the end of the day, you've got to do what you've got to do as a man, especially one with a family. However, from someone who made that trip all the way across the country a few years ago, I'll tell you that the city of Seattle and the state of Washington is my "home away from home." Just ask Heath Farwell, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, and Darrell Bevell. It won't ever replace Minnesota in your heart, but maybe there's a special place for you in Seattle lore. A chance to be a part of history that not many get the chance to be a part of. This team and this city is waiting to celebrate that 1st Lombardi Trophy. They're waiting to have one of the craziest celebratory parades in sports history. Come join the celebration. Oh, and somebody's got to do the Bernie.
With Much Respect,
The 12th Man

At the same time that George T. Maier formally announced his plans to once again seek the Democratic appointment as Stark County sheriff, attorneys for interim Sheriff Timothy Swanson prepared to file legal action to eliminate Maier from consideration.
At the same time that George T. Maier formally announced his plans to once again seek the Democratic appointment as Stark County sheriff, attorneys for interim Sheriff Timothy Swanson prepared to file legal action to eliminate Maier from consideration.
Maier, who served as sheriff from Feb. 7 until the Supreme Court removed him Nov. 6, sent a letter to 150 of the more than 200 members of the county Democratic Party's Central Committee to announce his plans to be a candidate when the committee meets to fill the seat vacated by Sheriff-elect Michael A. McDonald, who resigned in January due to illness.
"I have never left a job unfinished, and I don't intend to start now," Maier wrote in the letter that many committee members received Wednesday.
Maier believes he will be eligible for the appointment because he has been working as a full-time deputy at the Harrison County Sheriff's Office to fix what he considers a technicality that caused the Supreme Court to remove him from office and reinstate Swanson as interim sheriff.
The court last week determined that Maier did not have the full-time law enforcement experience needed for the sheriff's job. It deemed Maier's previous two-day employment with the Harrison County Sheriff's Office as too brief to be considered full-time. It also determined that Maier's job as assistant director of the Department of Public Safety did not meet the requirement because his duties were not dedicated solely to law enforcement.
"I want to reassure you that this is not a crisis," Maier wrote. "Instead, the court has pointed out a technical requirement that can be readily cured."
Swanson's attorney, Gregory Beck, believes that the flaw that ousted Maier from the sheriff's office cannot be corrected.
He plans to file paperwork Monday that asks the Ohio Supreme Court to compel the Democratic Party to meet and choose a new sheriff from among the only two candidates who met the sheriff qualifications when the committee last met in February.
Beck said Maier isn't eligible for the upcoming appointment because the court ruled his qualifications in February weren't enough. He believes the Democrats have no authority to reopen the candidate process to other potential candidates because there's isn't a new vacancy.
"The only vacancy that occurred was when Mike McDonald (resigned). A vacancy is not created when someone is ousted," Beck said. "That is a whole different event. Ouster means that Mr. Maier should never have been there in the first place. Swanson should have been there until someone was properly put in his place."
Beck said since no vacancy exists, the committee must choose from among the other two candidates who were qualified during the first round of voting: Stark County Sheriff Lt. Louis Darrow and Hartville Police Chief Lawrence Dordea.
Beck also will ask the Supreme Court to order the Democratic party to hold its committee meeting as soon as possible. As of Thursday evening, no meeting date for the appointment had been announced.

HOUSTON (AP) — A Texas appeals court on Thursday overturned a judge's ruling that had voided the marriage of a transgender widow whose firefighter husband died battling a blaze.
The 13th Texas Court of Appeals sent the case of Nikki Araguz back to the lower court, saying "there is a genuine issue of material fact regarding (Araguz's) sex and whether the marriage was a same sex marriage."
In 2011, state District Judge Randy Clapp in Wharton County ruled that the marriage between Nikki Araguz and her husband Thomas Araguz was "void as a matter of law."
Thomas Araguz's mother and his first wife had challenged the marriage's validity, arguing the fallen firefighter's estate should go to his two sons because Nikki Araguz was born a man and Texas does not recognize same-sex marriage.
Nikki Araguz, 38, had argued in court she had done everything medically and legally possible to show she is female and was legally married under Texas law and that she's entitled to widow's benefits.
Kent Rutter, Nikki Araguz's attorney, said his client was very pleased by Thursday's ruling.
"This decision recognizes that transgender Texans have the right to marry the person that they love," he said.
Attorneys for Simona Longoria, Thomas Araguz's mother, and Heather Delgado, his ex-wife, did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.
Longoria and her family have said Thomas Araguz learned of his wife's gender history just before his death and had planned to end the marriage.
But Nikki Araguz, who remarried in 2013, has insisted Thomas Araguz fully supported her through the surgical process to become a woman. She underwent surgery two months after they were married in 2008. Thomas Araguz died July 2010 while fighting a fire at an egg farm near Wharton, located 60 miles southwest of Houston. He was 30.
In its 26-page ruling, the three-judge panel of the Corpus Christi-based appeals court wrote that Clapp erred by essentially saying in his ruling that Nikki Araguz was a man at the time of her husband's death.
Attorneys for Longoria and Delgado had argued Nikki Araguz was born with male sex organs and had such organs at the time of her marriage, making it invalid.
The appeals court said more expert testimony on this issue is needed as the only such testimony presented was an affidavit by one of Nikki Araguz's doctors, who wrote that she was medically and psychologically female as a result of her compliance with the standards of care adopted by the World Professional Association of Transgender Health.
The three-judge panel also wrote that changes made in 2009 to the Texas Family Code that allowed transgendered people to use proof of their sex change to get a marriage license legislatively overruled a previous court decision that had been used as legal precedent in such cases. In that 1999 case, a San Antonio woman's wrongful-death claim brought on behalf of her husband was thrown out, with a court ruling that although the woman had undergone a sex-change operation, she was actually a man, based on her original birth certificate.

Molecular Interactors for Alpha-Secretase: Physiopathological Role

2006 Zenith Fellows Award
Studies have demonstrated that elevated blood levels of homocysteine, a protein building block, may increase a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Homocysteine levels are regulated in part by the body's use of vitamin B12 and folic acid. Other studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's disease often have relatively significant deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folic acid and subsequently high blood levels of homocysteine. These findings suggest a possibility that vitamin B12 and folic acid supplements may help lower the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Ramon Diaz-Arrastia, M.D., Ph.D., and colleagues propose an assessment of clinical data to determine whether a high level of homocysteines in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The researchers will measure levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12, folic acid, and related blood-born molecules in blood samples of participants in a recently completed clinical trial. In the study of 769 individuals with MCI, 212 participants developed Alzheimer's disease within three years.
A comparison of the blood sample measures with disease outcomes may provide more solid evidence of the risks associated with homocysteines. The outcome of this work may have implications for designing a prevention trial to determine whether vitamin B12 and folic acid therapy is effective in preventing the transition from MCI to Alzheimer's disease.

Ruddy Memorial Pro-Life Prize" for 2009-2010. The $100,000 prizes are awarded annually to individuals or organizations that work to protect and preserve the sanctity of life.
The Gerard Health Foundation will present the awards on Saturday, Jan. 22, in Washington, D.C., to Dr. Alveda King, full-time director of African-American Outreach for Priests for Life, and Marie Smith, founder and full-time director of the Parliamentary Network for Critical Issues, a ministry of Priests for Life/Gospel of Life.
"It is very gratifying to have the Foundation recognize the commitment Dr. King and Mrs. Smith share in spreading the pro-life message across the nation and the world," Father Pavone said. "Both of them travel extensively to ensure that as many people as possible, in as many locales as possible, hear their message about the sanctity of all human life."
Dr. King, the niece of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., came on board at Priests for Life in 2005. She is also a member of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, a joint initiative of Priests for Life and Anglicans for Life.
Dr. King is the mother of six children, and the grandmother of six, with another three on the way. Click here for her full biography: http://www.priestsforlife.org/staff/alvedaking.htm .
Mrs. Smith's organization, the Parliamentary Network of Critical Issues, http://www.pncius.org/ came under the Gospel of Life umbrella last year. Based in Washington, D.C., PNCI assists lawmakers and religious leaders around the world to more effectively advance pro-life laws and build sustainable pro-life leadership.
Mrs. Smith and her husband, Rep. Chris Smith, (R-N.J.) are a power couple in the pro-life movement and have been working on the cause, together and separately, since meeting in college. The Smiths have been married for 33 years and are the parents of four children and grandparents of two.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

[Vivaldi]: You might think you know the tune well, but Nicola's energetic rendition brings an unusual freshness to this Baroque masterpiece . . . ["The lark ascending"]: Making the most of Vaughan Williams' soaring violin tune, Nicola comes into her own in this stunning rendition of the composer's most famous Piece . . . [Pärt]: this transcendental music is made all the more beautiful by its simplicity. Nicola caresses the long violin notes over the top of the peaceful circling piano accompaniment, creating an achingly beautiful rendition of Pärt's minimalist masterpiece . . . [Chopin]: There's something haunting about Chopin's music when it's played on the violin. Despite being a piano piece originally, this Nocturne comes into its own when brought to life through Benedetti's unmistakable tones . . . [Tchaikovsky]: [the fiendish concerto] serves as a perfect vehicle for demonstrating Benedetti's virtuosic talent . . . [Massenet]: with the gorgeous swelling strings from the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Daniel Harding, this is a perfect serving of decadent Romantic music . . . [Monti]: its hard to ignore the music's infectious energy and cheery tune . . . [Hess]: A fantastic collaboration between Benedetti and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra . . . [Williams]: Benedetti captures the pathos and drama in John Williams' famous violin solo with this tender rendition . . .
[Vaughan Williams / "The Lark Ascending"]: This is a beautiful performance, not only by the soloist but by Andrew Litton and the LPO. Her sweet tone is admirably suited to the last movement of Tchaikovsky's concerto and the Adagio of the Bruch in G minor . . . The main theme of "Schindler's List" (John Williams) is strikingly played . . . [the disc] will give immense pleasure to admirers of this talented musician.

Consider this review a public service announcement.
Do not go and see Earth to Echo.
Now many of you reading this will consider this request hyperbolic, perhaps it is just an overstated reaction to a below average film, but I warn you, director Dave Green's feature film will cause actual bodily harm.
The film's editing, cinematography and camera movements are so frenetic and disorienting that most in the audience, myself included, had to look away from the screen in order to calm their motion sickness and not become violently ill. Towards the end of the film, there was even a child a few rows back coughing and retching. I think their concerned parent calmed them before the end of the pie eating contest from Stand by Me could play out, but still.
I would like to point out that I am not particularly sensitive to discomfort with shaky camera movements. Films like The Blair Witch Project or the myriad films that employ "found' footage do not bother me.
So what motivates Earth to Echo's shaky camera and why is it so troubling?
There are two or three reasons. The camera is mainly first person. Our narrator and main character, Tuck (Brian 'Astro' Bradley), is something of a videophile. He collects footage from his adventures with friends Alex (Teo Halm) and Munch (Reese Hartwig). The entire film, except for some motion graphic cutaways, is shot as if they are form Tuck's camera.
This technique has been applied before, but here there is never a pause in the hands-on movement. Even scenes that could give our eyes and stomachs a rest constantly shift and move. In a diner scene, the camera bounces constantly from table to the various faces that surround Tuck.
The motion graphics cutaways are huge sweeping overhead shots of the terrain in the American Southwest. They are intended to show the quick progression of Tuck, Munch and Alex as the three travel on their final adventure together. These animated sequences only work to maintain the motion discomfort that the moving live action shots achieve in the viewer.
Alright, I'm sure you get it. The camera work and editing sucks and made people sick, but was the story worth it?
The short answer is no.
Earth to Echo follows the three friends as they hangout on the last night before their housing development is torn down to make room for a new interstate. As they wander through the night, following a strange electrical disturbance, they stumble upon a lost alien, which they name Echo. The boys take it upon themselves to help the alien and maybe even save their neighborhood.
Sound like The Goonies, E.T., Super 8, My Science Project, or Explorers?
That is because Earth to Echo is a mediocre amalgamation of the 80's science fiction adventure story. The acting from our main cast is fine, but the script that they must bring to life is dead on arrival.
There is a reason that Disney walked away from this project after its completion. It's awful. Even if it didn't make the viewer feel as though they were on a badly synchronized virtual ride, the film would be a sad shadow of better films.
Just leave this one be. Consider it Mac and Me, but with nausea.

"I am happy there is a new leader, but I am even happier there is a pope who comes from the Third World," parish priest Ariel Lubi said after hearing Mass at Manila's church called the Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
Like Lubi, many Filipinos in Asia's most populous Catholic nation were elated at the choice of an Argentinian pontiff.
"Now he is representing the countries of the Southern Hemisphere," said Lubi, as his voice cracked with emotion. "This is where Christianity is booming."
Romy Villanueva, a 52-year-old engineer who attended the early Thursday Mass in the half full church in a working class neighborhood, said he was impressed with the new pope's humility.
"Unlike other popes who were up there on a pedestal, this pope asked for people to bless him, and not him blessing people," he said. "What he wants to do is for the church to go down to the people."
"For me, now it's better there's someone who will lead the church. Before, you didn't know where the Roman Catholic Church was heading," added Nora Esponera, a 63-year-old cook.

Game 2 - Farmingdale State - 89, Methodist - 82
Hampden-Sydney, VA - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team finished in third place at the Hampden-Sydney College Tournament this past weekend. The Rams fell in their opening round game 84-76 to Virginia-Wise, before defeating Methodist University in the consolation game.
In the game against Virginia-Wise (5-1), the Rams took a 35-32 lead into halftime. In the first half Farmingdale State was led by junior guards Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park) and Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) who were each 3-for-6 from the floor, scoring eight and seven points respectively.
Virginia-Wise started the second half on a 21-6 run, taking a 53-41 lead with 14:43 remaining. The Rams answered with a 14-3 run of their own cutting the deficit to 57-56, as Flournoy hit three 3-pointers and made a layup during that span. Virginia-Wise scored the games next nine points to open up a ten point advantage with 7:37 to play. Farmingdale was not able to cut into the lead and eventually fell 84-76.
Flournoy led the way with a game-high 22 points for the Rams, while Smith added 14 points and four rebounds. Josh Jordan and Travis Berry each scored 16 for Virginia-Wise.
In the consolation game against Methodist (0-3), Flournoy broke a 30-30 tie with back-to back three-point baskets, putting Farmingdale State ahead 36-30 with 5:42 left in the first half. The Rams would take a 44-36 lead into halftime with Flournoy and Smith scoring all of the teams points over the final five minutes of the half.
Leading 70-67 with 6:09 remaining, senior guard John Dabney (Freeport, N.Y./Freeport) stole the ball from Methodist's Josh Hayes, setting up a Flournoy layup. On Methodist's next possession, Smith forced another turnover and converted it into two points for the Rams, giving Farmingdale a 74-67 lead with less then five minutes to play.
The Monarchs would cut the deficit to 84-81 after Travis Fulp hit a three-pointer with 54 seconds left on the clock. The Rams would convert on the offensive end on their final possessions, earning the 89-82 victory.
Smith had a team-high 22 points, while Dabney scored 21 after going 7-for-9 from the floor, including 4-for-5 from behind the arc. Senior forward Jermaine Abraham (Brooklyn, N.Y./Wadleigh) shot 70 percent from the field, scoring 14 points and grabbing six boards.

The Beacon Athletic Fund
The Beacon Athletic Fund was established in 2013 as a way for alumni and supporters to give back to UMass Boston Athletics. Annual Gifts to the Beacon Athletic Fund are used to supplement the overall operating budget of the Division of Athletics and Recreation. "Unrestricted Gifts" made to the Beacon Athletic Fund are primarily used for travel costs, equipment, uniforms, meals and other expenses for all 18 varsity sports. "Restricted Gifts" made to individual teams are used specifically for the specified sport. Unrestricted gifts to the Beacon Athletic Fund are especially valuable because the funds can go where we need it is most needed.
Coaching Endowments
Coaching endowments make it possible to offer competitive compensation packages. The payout from these funds is used to help pay the salaries of coaches and program directors. This eases the burden on the athletic department's annual operating budget and ensures the longevity of specific programs by providing coaches' salaries in perpetuity. The ability to offer prospective coaches an endowed position is a powerful recruiting and retention resource. A coaching endowment is a source of pride and prestige for the coach, and individuals who establish these endowments often develop unique friendships with the recipients and their programs.
Program Endowments
A program endowment is an endowed fund established to meet a specific programmatic need of a varsity sport in perpetuity. Program endowments produce a permanent stream of income for a defined purpose and allow the sports they benefit to rely less on annual budgetary support from the Beacon Athletic Fund and the athletic department. The athletic department aims to establish program endowments for every varsity sport.
UMass Boston Athletics has always made facilities a priority in building its programs and planning for the future. It takes first-class facilities to produce a first-class athletic program. In the increasingly competitive world of intercollegiate sports, state-of-the-art facilities are necessary for student-athletes to keep their competitive edge. Facilities also play a major role in drawing new talent to a program. Recruiting is significantly more successful when coaches can offer prospective student-athletes first-rate facilities that feature the latest innovations in technology and safety.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician on Sunday called on thousands of anti-government protesters to stop paying taxes and practice civil disobedience until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif steps down, raising fears of instability in the nuclear-armed U.S. ally.
Imran Khan, who heads Parliament's third largest bloc, made the announcement at a rally in the capital calling for Sharif to step down over alleged voting fraud in the May 2013 election, the first democratic transfer of power in a country with a long history of military dictatorships.
Khan also warned that his supporters would take over Parliament if Sharif does not resign within two days.
"We decide today that we will not pay taxes to his illegitimate government, we will not pay electricity bills, gas bills," Khan said to a charged crowd estimated at 10,000 to 15,000 people. "I urge all the traders to stop paying taxes."
Khan and cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri, a dual Canadian citizen with a wide following who spends most of his time abroad, have mounted twin protests that have brought thousands of people into the streets in Islamabad. They accuse Sharif of rigging the election that brought him to power.
Finance Minister and Sharif ally Ishaq Dar called Khan's move unconstitutional, and Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid called the demand a "joke." But both ministers told SAMAA TV that their government was ready to negotiate with Khan over his demands for electoral reforms within the constitutional framework.
Pakistani Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan said the government was setting up two separate committees of party leaders to open negotiations with Khan and Qadri. "We are ready to accept all of your constitutional and legal demands," he said.
While the crowds have fallen well short of the million marchers that both men promised, their presence and the heightened security measures have virtually shut down business in the capital.
The rallies have nevertheless remained festive, with families picnicking and men and women dancing to drums and national songs.
Police estimate that the crowds in both sit-ins have gradually dwindled since they arrived in the capital late Friday. Both rallies began as caravans of vehicles setting out from the eastern city of Lahore. Police official Nasir Shah estimated that there were currently around 25,000 to 30,000 people in both rallies.
Sharif has given no indication he intends to step down.
Associated Press Writer Asif Shahzad in Islamabad contributed to this report.

An old woman has been forced to live next to her son's grave for the last nine months after she was unable to bury him due to an accrued hospital bill.
Veronica Nduku Ngwambu was unable to clear the medical bill for her deceased son and has resorted to camping next to her son's empty grave after Kenyatta National Hospital detained the body.
Every time Nduku wakes up in the morning at Makutano Ma Ndalani in Machakos county, she prays each passing ray would come with hope of burying her son.

But that is not the case for the 80-year-old whose morning is met by a mound of soil around a weather-beaten empty grave indicating many months of anguish and torment of wanting to give her son a decent send off.

Nduku's son passed on in October 2017 at KNH and a grave was prepared for the burial that never was.
By the time of his death, the hospital bill stood at KSh 54,000, TUKO.co.ke learnt.
But there are indications the Kenyan online community is willing to put a smile on the octogenarian's face by offsetting the bills, which has reportedly accrued significantly since 2017.

If you get an error about "undefined reference" when compiling a program of your own from source code, then you are probably missing to include some required symbols which should be distributed in a separate library archive. To find which archive to include we can use the tools "readelf" and "nm".
Let us take an example. Here we have a situation where gcc has aborted the compilation due to not finding a couple of symbols starting with the name NSSLOWHASH:
If we inspect the shared object file we can see what other shared object that might be needed:
Here we see among other things that libfreebl is referenced and needed. We can list its symbols by the following command:
It appears as the missing symbols are included in this file. So by making sure that make/configure/gcc include this library/directory in the compilation, your errors should go away. (This could be as easy as including the correct compiler module on the cluster, but if you're building something where you need more unusual dependencies you might have to add these inclusions manually.)

Elizabeth K. Barone
Great article, Jina. I love your writing style.
i try to balance the work with things I enjoy, but sometimes I forget and that is when I struggle. It also doesn't help that I have to frequently stave off depression, so the battle is even more important.
I'm glad to see this article and the "Burnout" article at A List Apart. Everyone expects us to be happy robots producing beautiful thing after beautiful thing, but it truly can be a draining industry. Make no mistake — I love being a web designer and developer. I just think that the dangers of burning out often go ignored and most of us suffer in silence.
We definitely need to remember how to make ourselves happy when we work such demanding jobs. I'm probably rambling because I'm tired, but I truly did appreciate this article.
If anyone needs someone to talk to, to talk shop, complain, or whatever, shoot an email to ebarone(@ekbdesigns.com). I'm here and willing to listen. (:

Oh. Silly me.
Well obviously Plue is from Rave Master and also Greys necklace too.
Currently single and I love anime
I'm guessing that there will be no continuation of this crossover since it's a one-shot special?
Rave Master (called Groove Adventure Rave or simply Rave in Japan) is a previous manga of the author of Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima which ran in Weekly Shonen Magazine from 1998 to 2005. Which tells the story of Haru Glory, a teenager who becomes the second Rave Master and is destined to bring peace to his world and save it from the threat of Dark Bring (Shadow Stones in the English version). Along the way he gains friends who join him on his quest and slowly unravels the mystery of the Rave Stones (his power source), The Dark Bring, his destiny, how it affects those around him and the fate of the world in general. In April of 2011 Hiro Mashima released a crossover of Fairy Tail and Rave Master entitled Fairy Tail x Rave Special.
Many elements of this series pop up in Fairy Tail often. Many characters have similiar designs as Rave Master characters. Most notably:
Character ResemblanceEdit Character Resemblance sectionEdit
Plue, Haru's guide, being one of Lucy's Celestial Spirits
Lucy Heartfilia resembles Elie
Natsu Dragneel resembles Haru but Let in fighting style. Besides, when Natsu becomes the Great Demon Lord Dragneel in Edolas, he resembles Lucia Raregroove, the final antagonist in Rave Master.
Gray Fullbuster resembles Musica, and he wears a necklace that bears resemblance to Haru's Ten Commandments sword or the first piece of RAVE.
Erza Scarlet´s Re-equip Magic resembles Leopard´s Dark Bring ability (member of the Six Guards of the Blue Guardians), which allows her use anything (even elements like wind, electricity or fire) and equip her like a armor and use his attributes against her opponents (Fire: burn, Electricity: stun, Wind: speed increased and cutting ability).
Jellal Fernandes is based off Sieg Hart. Besides, both characters share some magic attacks like Grand Chariot and Altairis (althrough, Altairis in Fairy Tail has a different effect than Rave Master). As well as Jellal's thought project's alias, Siegrain.
Faust resembles Shakuma.
Mirajane (when she was younger) resembles Julia.
Aetherion is taken from Etherion and is a highly destructive magic in both series
Karen Lilica resembles Reina of the Oracion Seis.
Levy McGarden resembles Belnika, except with a smaller chest.
Hades resembles Haja.
Fried Justine resembles Alpine Spaniel, member and leader from the Knights of the Blue Sky in hairstyle and face, except that Fried don´t have a beard like Alpine.
Azuma´s appearance resembles that of Pumpkin Doryu, one of the major enemies in Rave Master. His Earrings also resemble Doryu's Dark Bring Vampire, and his magic is very similar to that of the Six Star Dark Bring "Ballenttänzer Zeffrea" and "Yggdrassil", which was possessed by Oracion Seis members Shuda and Jegan, characters from the manga Rave Master.
Aquarius resembles Celia, a character from Rave Master. Both are mermaids and specializes in Water Magic, and shares the love by a ´´boyfriend´´: Aquarius with Scorpio and Celia (a one-sided love) with Haru. The big difference are hers personalities, Aquarius is a very moody and hostile the most time (except with Scorpio) and Celia is very friendly (althrough she have a rivalry with Elie by the Haru´s love, even so, they are still friends).
Lisanna´s supposed death in Fairy Tail is similar to the Resha Valentine´s supposed death in Rave Master. In both cases neither was really death, both was alive.
Lucy´s name was given when the guild sign "Love & Lucky" was missing the letter "K" is similar to when Gale Glory and Gale Raregroove founded Demon Card, they decide to name their organization Demon "Guard" but instead was mistakenly name "Card" instead.
Mystogan's role in protecting Edolas from his fathers plans is similar to Sieg Hart's role in protecting time which led to a battle between himself and Haja.
Elfman has a striking resemblance to Franken Billy. Also, both have a power that attributes his arms (Elfman with Take Over magic, and Billy with a Dark Bring).
Laxus Dreyar's design and personality seems to be based off of Hardner, a similar, sadistic character and leader of the Blue Guardians, who both learn from their mistakes and go through a change in character.
Cobra´s appearance resembles Shuda (a former Oracion Seis member and later Rave Warriors´ally). Coincidentally, both characters (Cobra and Shuda) were Oracion Seis members in his respectives series.
Erigor has a striking resemblace to Mitsu, a minor character from Rave Master (officially introduced in Chapter 212), whom has a scarf and same hairstyle.
Rave AppearancesEdit Rave Appearances sectionEdit
One can also spot characters from Rave Master in the background. The cover for chapter 91 even featured Lucy and Natsu dressed as Haru and Elie from the series.
Erza's armor has the same 'Heart Kreuz' logo as Elie's tank top.
Erza Knightwalker's Saint Spear the ten comandments transforms into Silfarion, Mel Force, Explosion, Gravity Core, Blue Crimson, and Rune Save, all with identical abilities.
Casino in Chapter 75 has a Ruby's figurehead.
The brand 'Heart Kreuz' is featured prominently (All Requip Amour has logo featured in some way or other, Lucy's Clothes, and both Erza and Lucy have Heart Kreuz Bags, Suitcases, etc.)
In the Omake Lucy's Photo shoot, Elie, Julia, Belnika, Musica, Ruby and possibly Griff (because it is of the same species as Griff and it has a perverted look on it's face) make a small appearance.
Griff makes appearances often, the most prominent being in the anime where Happy is chewing him instead of candy.
Griff explain Mest's memory magic in chapter 215.
Grey waring the same white bringer in the cover for chapter 225.
That is pretty much the definition of "one-shot"..
A few one-shots have gone on to be series, and there is always the possibility that the mangaka will get a random idea in his head and do other crossover one-shot specials, but it seems fairly unlikely.

Updated Monday at 4:51 p.m. PST
Has anyone gotten more lucky breaks than Chris Brown? (Well, besides Lindsay Lohan??)
Brown's felony assault charge has been reduced to a misdemeanor.
Chris Brown just got cut a big break ... the assault charge has just been reduced from a FELONY to a MISDEMEANOR ... and Chris pled not guilty. Chris has just been released without bail. He's also required to stay 100 yards away from the victim.
Chris had been ordered to take a drug test, but the judge just vacated that order. It's standard in such cases to order a drug test, but that has been cancelled.
We're not legal experts, but we'd assume that the charges being reduced to a misdemeanor also means that Brown will most likely not be cited for violating his parole? Any legal eagles care to chime in on that one?
Original Post
Chris Brown could be headed to jail as a result of felony assault charges that he now faces after allegedly breaking a man's nose and yelling a homophobic statement at the victim. The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday in Washington D.C. outside of Brown's hotel.
The alleged victim tells TMZ ... he and a friend were hanging out at the W when they saw 2 women about to take a picture with Brown. The victim -- who says he's not a Chris Brown fan -- says he and his buddy photo bombed the 2 women and Chris went nuts, punching him in the face and BREAKING HIS NOSE. He went to the hospital and says he may need surgery as early as tomorrow.
Law enforcement sources and the alleged victim tell TMZ ... before striking the man, Chris said, "I'm not into this gay s**t, I'm into boxing." After Chris punched the man, the fight was taken to the ground.
Sources connected with Chris tell TMZ ... the alleged victim is full of BS. He was NOT trying to take a pic with Chris ... he was trying to get on Chris' tour bus, and Brown was simply trying to stop a trespass.
The alleged victim tells TMZ he doesn't understand why Brown was "so homophobic" to hurl such a slur. And get this ... the victim says he would have accepted an apology at the scene, but now he will absolutely press charges -- and he's already hired a lawyer.
Brown is currently on probation for his previous 2009 assault on Rihanna. This latest incident, if seen as a violation of his probation, could see him facing up to four years in prison. He's currently in jail and is scheduled for a court hearing on Monday.
Think Brown is headed to prison, Instincters?
Chris Brown was taking a picture with two female friends. Why couldn't the "victim" just leave him alone. Don't start things and them cry victim when you get hurt. If this person had left Chris Brown alone and minded his own business none of this would have happened. It's time people start accepting responsibility for their own actions.
He is unbelievable!!! Even if what he says is true and the dude was trying to get on his bus, where was his security??? Isn't it there job to prevent that kind of thing?? If someone was trying to get on Katy Perry's bus do you think she'd take it on herself to punch them in the face???? His explanation makes no sense!!!! I hope they throw him in jail and throw away the key but they won't. He'll get another slap on the wrist. The man is dangerous and violent and he's not going to change.

Lovely watercolor, Carol!! These are great--I'm really liking these a lot. That garden shop has blue and white garden balls exactly like ours! Looks like a place where I'd have fun. Good luck painting up a storm for the show!ReplyDelete
Carol, I'm kicking myself wondering how I moved out of France without visiting the Chateau Vaux le Vicomte?!? Thanks for the tip... will be in France twice in the next month for work - I'm going to see what I can do about planning a visit! Best,ReplyDelete
The Antiques Diva
Oh wow.. I would love to spend some time visiting that garden shop. Great photos here and your painting is wonderful. I am liking the blue in it. I see hints of David Deweys work shop this summer showing thru.ReplyDelete
Antiques Diva - lots of people never visit Chateau Vaux le Vicomte. It's a well kept secret. There's a direct train and now they have a shuttle bus to the train.ReplyDelete
The weekend is perfect for visiting. It's a miniature Versaille in many ways. Just dress warmly. The chateau is not heated. I went for the Easter Sunday egg roll-FUN!
WOW Love the blue! I'm wiht Rick, go girl. ;-)ReplyDelete
Oh you're so right Rick!ReplyDelete
Wasn't a French garden gnome the sub-theme of the rave movie AMELIE?
Thanks on the new blue.
I'm playing a bit here...
I recognize your style from any tiny thumbnail - Pure sugar for the eye - luscious in every respect!ReplyDelete
Your posts always make my day brighter!
Vaux le Vicomte was so impressive when I went - 2,000 candles lit around the grounds. We almost didn't go because of rain, but it cleared just in time for us, and made it even more romantic in a foggy mist!ReplyDelete
Been there. Dome that :-)ReplyDelete
A wonderful place so filled with history and beauty.
Carol...I certainly agree wth all your enthusiastic fans in recent comments on your embellished paintings! The background washes give a new spatial relationship...more of an "environment," to your already beautiful art.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see your paintings at the Winterthur GardenFaire!
i've always wanted to go..maybe i'll plan it for my day off in october! so beautiful!ReplyDelete
Love your watercolors and French travel post. I did not have a chance to visit the chateau. Looking forwrad to visiting Paris again.ReplyDelete
Loving your new paintings. Ooh I sounded American then :)ReplyDelete

Robert Cray has known these guys for a long time.
The legendary blues guitarist started working with bass player Richard Cousins in 1974. Keyboardist Dover Weinberg came on board in the late 1970s. There have been periods when they've gone their separate ways, but the foundation of the Robert Cray Band goes back 40 years.
That band, which also features new drummer Les Falconer, will be at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach on Saturday as Cray wraps up his dual tour with singer-songwriter John Hiatt.
"Forty years, man — it doesn't seem like it's been that long," Cray said by phone from a tour stop in Richmond. "Back then, we just started off playing music...

Enable custom sort order to be saved with saved searches
I'd also like to request that unique sort orders be able to be saved along with a saved search.
I love ToodleDo, but my task lists are long enough that not having a custom search order is killing me--because as soon as I set the order the way I need it, I go to a different list and have to change that list's sort order to the right way to view tasks in it. And as soon as I do that, I've obliterated the first list's configuration. It's just a real headache when all I really want to do is view my tasks in a certain standard way each time so that I can find the tasks that need to get done.
Also, I see this has been requested before. Maybe the priority of making this available to web users can be bumped up a notch? http://www.toodledo.com/forums/2/10256/-50664/different-sort-for-each-custom-search.html#end
Toodledo Founder
Thanks for the suggestion. We can't comment on a timeframe for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.
Posted: Oct 04, 2012
Score: 1 Reference
I would definitely also love to have this feature. I have several different custom searches, which would be much more efficient if they could include custom sorts. As it is right now I night to change the sort manually every time I switch to a different search.
Please put this high up there on the to-do list for implementation. This is the only Toodledo feature that is bothering me which might make me look somewhere else because of the time I spend having to switch the sort order. Otherwise I am loving Toodledo!
Thanks :)

+ 1 for me for this as well...
This would be two less clicks i need to do every time i change to a different saved search
I agree, and would also like filter settings preserved as well. In other words, be able to duplicate the Saved Search just as I last left it.

Under the menu item Sights you can get useful information about the sights of the city.
Adventure Park
The Adventure Park set up in the proximity of the playground located in the park of Miskolctapolca currently holds 26 courses, one blue (easier) and a red (more difficult) track system.
Almássy Curia
The dwelling-house of baroque origin was built by the Almássy family in the second half of the 18th century. The main façade on the street front was transformed in the 19th century in romantic style. In 1993 the street face was restored.
The Anna Cave located below the hanging garden of Hotel Palota in Lillafüred is of peculiar natural value being one of the world's three calc-tuff caves open to the public. Most of the cavities of the cave were discovered in 1833 with the direction of miner András Stark, when searching for affluent water sources for the local iron works.
Apartments, Offices - Hunyadi Street 10
The individual fragments of the romantic eclectic dwelling house built around 1860 originate presumably from the end of the 18th century.
Aranykasza (Golden Scythe) Business Centre
The building in late classicistic style was erected about 1830, the Aranykasza (Golden Scythe) ironmongery functioned here originally – that is why the designation.
Avas Bell Tower
The bell tower, built in 1577 in the place of the Saint Michael Cemetery Chapel perished in 1554, is one of the symbols of the city of Miskolc: also the well-known chiming rings from here.
Avas Reformed Church
Above the city centre of Miskolc, on the side of Avas Hill the parish-church named Saint Stephen existed already in the 14th century, which was extended in 1411. Only fragments remained of the building – such as the ruin of the western tower, since the church was radically rebuilt around 1480.
Báji-Patay-House, Catholic Boarding-school
The Báji-Patay-House of baroque origin was reconstructed in classicistic and eclectic style in the 19th century. The Boarding-school of the Catholic Gymnasium can be found in the building, which was erected by Vencel Klier builder.
Bald Cypress
Specimens of the rare bald cypress tree can be found in Miskolc in two locations, in front of Hotel Juno in Miskolctapolca and in Szathmáry Király Pál Street.
Bobsleigh run
The Miskolctapolca bobsleigh run, operating in all seasons, opened its gates in 2007.

Packaging Materials Trends — Mobility is the Key Market Driver
By Jan Vardaman, TechSearch International, and Dan Tracy, SEMI
The electronics industry trend towards smaller and thinner form factors has ushered an era of significant changes in packaging materials. As these trends continue, innovative material solutions will be needed to address demanding requirements related to product integration, mobility, and reliability. Mobile electronics — especially smartphones and tablet computers — are the major unit volume drivers for semiconductor device sales and have unique packaging requirements. Given the compact form-factors and demands for connectivity, advanced packaging technologies such as wafer-level packaging (WLP), flip chip packaging for wireless, and package-on-package (PoP) deliver the necessary device integration needed in a thinner and smaller form factor package, and materials technologies are key in enabling this trend.
According to the upcoming SEMI Global Semiconductor Packaging Materials Outlook—2013-2014 Edition, the outlook for advanced packaging remains strong. These packages include ball grid array (BGA), CSP (including leadframe-based QFNs), flip chip, WLP, and various 3-D packages such as stacked-die and PoP. TechSearch has shown that 15 percent of 190 billion packaged ICs shipped in 2012 were in advanced packaging form factors, and this will grow to an estimated 21 percent of the 244 billion units to be shipped in 2017. Flip chip packaged units will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25 percent between 2012 and 2017 with wireless products driving the growth. Over the same timeframe, WLP, which has already experience strong growth in unit shipments, is forecasted to grow at an 11 percent CAGR due to the strength in the mobile sector.
Advancements in materials technology and new materials will be needed to solve challenges pertaining to device and system integration and to package and system reliability. New materials and processes will enable the semiconductor industry to advance scaling in packaging down to the 16nm node and below. Semiconductor manufacturers and packaging subcontractors have identified a number of concerns, unmet material needs, and opportunities for material suppliers. The table below summarizes some general issues and topics identified particular material segment.
Key Issues and Concerns of Users of Packaging Materials

Not included in the table summary is the oft repeated and obvious call for lower cost material solutions desired by the manufacturers across the various material segments. The needs and solutions identified in the table encompass the materials challenges with 3D integration and wafer-level packaging in addition to the single package solutions that continue to dominate the market.
The information in this article was derived from the Global Semiconductor Packaging Materials Outlook—2013-2014 Edition, produced by SEMI and TechSearch International. The report will be published later in the fourth quarter and is based on information obtained from well over 100 in-depth interviews conducted with semiconductor manufacturers, packaging subcontractors, and packaging materials suppliers throughout the world.

I bought this 4 port router to share a DSL connection. The router does support PPPoE. I plugged it in, set up all my computer, and specified IP addresses. Went to the router screen set up my PPPoE connection. disabled DHCP on my network. I hit the connect button, and it said connected. But I couldn't pull anything up on the internet. I couldn't even ping a web site.
My OS is XP Pro
The router Ip is 192.168.0.1
My other computers are from 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.10 using 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

Captain America actress Hayley Atwell is campaigning for the role of Lara Croft in upcoming Tomb Raider film reboot, based on the recently released game.
come on use a normal weighing woman, like 5'8 145 pounds
I think they need to go with Camilla Luddington. In the tomb raider behind the scenes vids she says she wants to do it. It would be a nice way to tie the reboot game to the reboot film lol.
Camilla Luddington must do the movie she did incredible voice work in Tomb Raider!

The Houston Dynamo have acquired forward Jason Garey in a trade with the Columbus Crew, the teams announced today. In exchange for Garey, the Dynamo sent their natural fourth-round pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft to the Crew.
READ: Jason Garey player bio
READ: Gulf Coast native excited for return
Garey, 26, has played for Columbus over the last five seasons and helped the club to the 2008 MLS Cup title, back-to-back Supporters' Shield titles in 2008-09, and two trips to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions League. Garey has scored 15 goals and added six assists in 83 regular-season games, including 40 starts. Garey is from Gonzales, Louisiana, a five-hour drive from Houston.
"I couldn't be more excited," Garey said. "I've always admired the team and the coaching staff and organization down there. Being from the Gulf Coast area, the Dynamo have always been the hometown team of Louisiana, because even being in Houston, they're pretty close. So I'm very excited and looking forward to getting to play with those guys."
A collegiate standout at the University of Maryland, Garey won the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy as the nation's top player in 2005 after his second consecutive 22-goal season, and his Maryland squad won the national championship that year. Garey's sister, Melissa, captained the woman's soccer team at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, and played for U.S. youth national teams.
"I've always thought he was a good player," Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "When he played against us, I enjoyed his work rate and his hunger to help the team, so we're looking forward to seeing him in Houston."
Garey won the Crew's Humanitarian of the Year Award in 2010 for his work on behalf of victims of the BP oil spill in his native Louisiana. He serves as a spokesman for Vanishing Paradise, a campaign to raise awareness of the issue.

Looking Back with Aurore Eaton: Abby Sage, woman of destiny despite a bumpy start
July 01. 2013 7:53PM
A short distance south of the E. A. Straw monument on Pine Street in the Valley Cemetery in Manchester is a rough granite rock marking a family plot. The word "Sage" stands boldly in bas relief on its front. The rock is surrounded by the graves of the extended Sage family, who first came to Manchester from Lowell, Massachusetts, in the early 1840s. To the left of the rock is a plain rectangular piece of granite that is nearly buried beneath grass and dirt that bears the simple inscription "Abby." This is the final resting place of a remarkable woman whose life — without embellishment — would have made a fine subject of a melodramatic opera. Abby Sage McFarland Richard was a teacher, an actress, a poet, a writer of children's literature, an editor, a lecturer and a playwright. She was most famous, however, for an ill-fated love affair that ended with the murder of her sweetheart. The notorious trial that followed consumed public attention throughout the country.
Abby Sage was born in 1837, the eldest child of Abigail and William Sage. She was about five years old when her family moved to Manchester. In the 1850 census her father's occupation is listed as mechanic. At that time the Sage family, which included four children, was living in the Amoskeag corporation worker's housing. William likely worked for the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in the machine shop. It appears from city directories that by 1858 he was a partner in Yeaton & Sage, a maker of loom harnesses located in Mechanics Row at the north end of the millyard.
Abby was educated in local schools where she received a solid foundation in writing and literature that served her well in life. When she was an older teenager she taught school in the city. She was a talented writer, and so began looking for opportunities to publish her work. Abby was also beautiful girl. When she was 15 years old, she caught the eye of Daniel McFarland, a graduate of Dartmouth College. He must have been in the area on business, as his home was in Madison, Wisconsin. Daniel had bragged that he was a prosperous lawyer, and that he had brilliant political prospects in Wisconsin. He said the he owned properties valued at $30,000.
When Abby was old enough to marry, Daniel proposed to her. They were married in Boston, Massachusetts, on December 14, 1857. Daniel was 38 at the time and Abby was 19. There may have been trouble with Abby's family, as the couple did not chose to marry in Manchester, and strangely the marriage record shows that Daniel gave his age as 29 and Abby as 23. Abby likely regretted her decision to marry rather quickly as Daniel ran out of money while they were on their honeymoon in New York City. He had to borrow cash to pay for their transportation to Wisconsin.
Within a few days of arriving in Madison, Daniel confessed that, in fact, he had no law practice, but instead had sunk all his assets into a land speculation scheme. This venture wasn't working out very well. He convinced Abby that he could sell the Wisconsin properties to buyers in New York City, so they moved there in February 1858. McFarland soon ran out of money again, so Abby pawned some of her jewelry. As her husband couldn't afford to support her, she returned to Manchester to stay with her family for a few months. By the end of 1858, Daniel had developed enough income from property sales to afford to rent a cottage in Brooklyn, so Abby returned to live with her husband. Their two sons were born in Brooklyn, Percy in 1860 and Daniel in 1864.
After a promising start, Daniel McFarland's real estate business began to falter, and so he took to drinking. Abby later wrote, "At first, Mr. McFarland professed for me the most extravagant and passionate devotion, but soon he began to drink heavily, and before we were married a year, his breath and body were steaming with vile liquor. I implored him to reform, but he cried out: 'My brain is on fire and liquor makes me sleep.'"

Fresh from her appearance on Wednesday night's episode of "Empire," Mary J. Blige stars in the new music video for "Doubt," an uplifting cut from last year's "The London Sessions."
It finds Blige working hard as usual, emoting her head off as she sings about making it to the top -- but not without nearly paying the cost and sacrificing a lot.
Among the things she appears to have sacrificed? An audience, which for most of the clip is nowhere to be seen as Blige pours out her troubles to an empty theater.
A crowd does materialize near the end, but by that point the message is clear: Mary J. Blige brings it even when there's no one to watch it being brought.
