YORK, PA – The York College women's basketball used a tremendous defense effort to down the Frostburg State University Bobcats 69-33 in Capital Athletic Conference action on Wednesday night in York.
The Spartans, winners of five straight, improve to 15-3 overall and remain in second place in the conference with a mark of 9-1. The Bobcats fall to 5-14 overall and 3-7 in the league.
The Spartans started off the game ice cold from the field as they began the contest a chilly 1-for-14 from the floor. Fortunately for the Spartans, their defense was hounding the Bobcats into an equally bad offensive shooting percentage. The Spartans finally got their second field goal of the game at the 13:01 mark and that kick started a 12-4 run as the Green and White lead grew to 10 at 16-6.
The Bobcats trimmed the York lead to eight on a pair of RJ James free throws with 8:19 remaining in the opening half. The Spartans responded by scoring 19 of the final 25 points of the half to take a 35-14 lead to the break. It is the second consecutive game that York has allowed just 14 points to an opponent in the first half.
After York's 1-for-14 start, the Spartans made 12-of-21 to close out the half. The Spartans also limited the Bobcats to just 25% (6-for-24) shooting from the floor in the opening 20 minutes of play.
The second half began with York blitzing the Bobcats with a 9-2 run as senior April Sparkman was responsible for seven of the run's nine points. Frostburg cut their deficit back to 19 on a pair of Elizabeth Erickson buckets but York again responded, this time with an 11-1 spurt as the lead grew to 29. York's advantage would not fall below 27 the rest of the way. The 36-point margin of victory is their third-biggest of the year, nine points behind the 45-point win at Wesley on November 30.
The Spartans placed four players in double figures but it may have been the one player that didn't score in 33 minutes that had the biggest impact on the win. Sophomore point guard Aja Wallpher tied her career-high with 13 assists while she also had a career-high 12 rebounds. The double-double is the first of her Spartan career. Wallpher, who is second in the nation in assists at 7.2 helpers per game, also had five steals and just one turnover in a nearly flawless floor game. Sparkman led York in scoring as the senior poured in 19 points to go along with nine rebounds, a steal, and a blocked shot. Sophomore forward Kristen Haley, the reigning CAC Player of the Week, recorded her 15th career double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds in her 27 minutes of work. Sophomore Brittany Hicks added 13 points, seven rebounds, and two blocked shots in her 29 minutes of action. Freshman Taylor Santor gave the Spartans a huge lift off the bench early in the first half as the guard poured in 11 points in just nine minutes. Santor was 4-for-5 from the floor and 3-for-3 from three in the opening half.
Erickson led the Bobcats as she was the lone visitor to reach double figures. She tallied 16 points to go along with six rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals. Erickson was 7-for-19 from the floor including 1-for-1 from three and 1-for-2 from the line.
The Spartans put the defensive clamps on the Bobcats as they held their guests to just 22.4% shooting for the game. That is York's best field goal percentage defensive effort of the year and is the seventh time this year that York has limited an opponent to less than 30% from the floor. The 33 points also marks a season-best for the Spartan defense, eclipsing the 35 points they allowed against Goucher on November 22.
York finished the game shooting 40.9% for the game. Take out the 1-for-14 start and the Spartan shooting percentage climbs to 50% (26-for-52) for the game. The Spartans went 8-of-24 (33.3%) from three while they attempted just 10 free throws, making seven of them.
The Spartans finished the contest with a 19-rebound advantage as they notched 49 caroms including 20 offensive boards. That led to a 19-2 margin in second chance points. The Green and White also had a 30-18 edge in points in the paint. York forced 17 Frostburg turnovers, which they converted into 22 points. The Spartans had 13 turnovers, which led to nine Bobcat points.
The Spartans return to action on Saturday afternoon when they host Hood College in a Capital Athletic Conference contest. Game time is set for 4:00 pm at the Grumbacher Center.

The Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy taught educators a harsh lesson about the vulnerability of their schools.
On Saturday in Kennedale, area faculty and other staff members learned how they might play a direct role in making their campuses more secure.
During the free daylong concealed-handgun licensing class, about 750 people studied Texas gun laws, rights and safety.
For Michael Nunley, Arlington ISD security supervisor, the event provided good information.
"This has to do with my job and how crazy it's getting in the world," he said. "Nowadays I don't think people feel safe. Everybody is becoming more aware of safety, not only in schools, but in their homes and on the streets."
The idea for the class began with Dalworthington Gardens Police Chief Bill Waybourn in November.
He had hoped to start a business to teach a licensing class for concealed weapons with famed Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle. But Kyle was killed in February at an Erath County gun range; a troubled fellow veteran has been charged in his death.
Waybourn said Kyle helped create the free class for educators after 20 children and six teachers were fatally shot in December at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
"It went from 20 to 30 teachers to the more than 700 we have here today," Waybourn said. "It just exploded with Chris' involvement."
Teachers from as far as Austin and at least one representative from each North Texas school district attended, Tarrant County Constable Clint Burgess said.
"The intention of this class is not to set policy but educate," Burgess said.
Although Kennedale ISD provided the auditorium for the class, public relations coordinator Erin Hyden said the district isn't considering allowing its staff members to carry guns on campuses.
"I think the hope for everybody today is to walk away with a better understanding of a topic that's often misrepresented and a better understanding of safety and laws," she said.
Although some of the teachers plan to seek concealed-handgun permits, others came to pay tribute to Kyle.
"It's a feeling of completing the vision Chris and I had, and though he's missing, his essence is here," Waybourn said.
Before lunch, volunteers sold out of T-shirts with Kyle's photo and philosophy printed across the front: "It is our duty to serve those who serve us."
Proceeds from the shirts and Kyle's autobiography American Sniper were earmarked for the Chris Kyle Memorial Fund, which supports the families of Kyle and Chad Littlefield, who was also killed at the gun range in February.
Kyle's younger brother Jeff Kyle and his widow, Taya Kyle, spoke to the educators Saturday.
"I'm not saying I think teachers should carry guns, but it's important they are educated," Jeff Kyle said. "Chris was about knowledge of firearms and helping provide a sense of security for people."
Frank "Pancho" Achilles, an auditorium manager at Irving ISD, said he plans to get a concealed-handgun license but wouldn't feel comfortable carrying a weapon on campus.
This month, Irving ISD tabled a proposal to allow teachers to keep guns in their cars.
"This is continuing education for adults," Achilles said. "I want to be educated in case the situation ever happened where I needed to handle a gun. If I had to, I would know what to do."

Product Description
For underwear that no one can 'C' (geddit?), this clever little C-string is an absolute must. Made from a flexible wire frame that moulds to your shape, this curved knicker has no side straps to give a totally smooth finish under your clothes.
With a thong-style back and wide front panel, the lack of straps mean that this is also the perfect lingerie to wear while tanning. Alternatively, pair it with some nipple tassels for totally minimal (but still tantalising) bedroom style.
As seen on This Morning, GMTV, Loose Women, and in The Daily Mail, The Sun and many more
Key Features:
- Skimpy C-string for wearing undetected under tight clothes
- Stretchy wire adjusts to fit most body shapes
- Opaque front gives a discreet finish
- Comfortable and versatile
- Perfect for line-free spray tans

Great for the beach
Reviewed: 08 November 2015 by Cherry89, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I've had a black C-String for about 5 years and it's still fine to use as in new condition.
I bought it to wear on the beach as I hate tan lines. Very easy to put on, easy to adjust at the front for how high/low you want it covering your private parts.
It covers what it needs to and you get a great tan without getting tan lines. I've never worn it out but from wearing it on the beach I think it'd stay in place fine.
Hand wash only, and the metal's easy to bend if you need to adjust it.
- Pros
- Easy to wear, great for tanning.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great for a sexy all over tan on the beach!

Really different, but good
Reviewed: 05 April 2013 by rubarb95
I originally thought this would be really awkward to wear and would constantly fall down, but it didn't!
It stayed in place all evening and no PTL lines! Which is always a bonus. Felt really sexy and glad I bought this.
Think Lovehoney is the only place that does this at the moment.
Will be buying more in the future!
- Pros
- Easy to wear, no ptl lines, sexy.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- Brilliant!

A new dance craze? The 'CString Walk' :)
Reviewed: 27 June 2008 by Jayne.Alexander, a Straight Married Female
As it says in the video, on TV and on the package, it's a curved springy band and a lot like a head-band.
I usually go 'Commando' so my initial reactions were that it was unfamiliar but it is very comfortable to wear and I enjoy the gentle pressure in just the right place!
Once I got used to it I found that I was tensing my PC muscles a lot more which is not a bad thing
Be careful when bending you knees to lift something though or, better still, ask someone to do it for you!
- Pros
- Surprisingly comfortable; you can use a thong-liner with it which is better than many thongs!
- Cons
- Be careful lifting things
- Bottom line
- It's much better than I imagined and you can pop it in your handbag

New home sales measure the number of newly constructed homes with a committed sale during the month. The level of new home sales indicates housing market trends and, in turn, economic momentum and consumer purchases of furniture and appliances.
This provides a gauge of not only the demand for housing, but the economic momentum. People have to be feeling pretty comfortable and confident in their own financial position to buy a house. Furthermore, this narrow piece of data has a powerful multiplier effect through the economy, and therefore across the markets and your investments. By tracking economic data such as new home sales, investors can gain specific investment ideas as well as broad guidance for managing a portfolio. Each time the construction of a new home begins, it translates to more construction jobs, and income which will be pumped back into the economy. Once the home is sold, it generates revenues for the home builder and the realtor. It brings a myriad of consumption opportunities for the buyer. Refrigerators, washers, dryers and furniture are just a few items new home buyers might purchase. The economic "ripple effect" can be substantial especially when you think a hundred thousand new households around the country are doing this every month. Since the economic backdrop is the most pervasive influence on financial markets, new home sales have a direct bearing on stocks, bonds and commodities. In a more specific sense, trends in the new home sales data carry valuable clues for the stocks of home builders, mortgage lenders and home furnishings companies.

Over the next three weeks, the Texans will be conducting ten Organized Team Activity sessions, otherwise known as OTAs.
I will try to be your eyes and ears for these practices, but there's only limited things that you can learn about practice.
Who looks the part.
Who is practicing. Who is not. (Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson being held out. The big news today was the revelation that Johnson received a scope of his left knee two weeks ago. He didn't seem particularly concerned about it).
You can sometimes see bits and pieces of who is having a good day and not, but there's a lot of learning you can't see, and well, you can't be all over the field all at once.
As is also reported by HoustonTexans.com Lestar Jean was filling in for the Andre Johnson spot across from Kevin Walter. Had some nice catches. Had some inexplicable drops.
I wouldn't read too much into how different players are looking right now. I think the wide receiver battle will be very open and it will be about who looks the best coming out of camp and stays healthy.
Some observations:
1. Schaub. Sometimes I read alarmist things about Schaub's recovery in the comments section. He was running and moving on the side of the field and looked fine. If you were to take the temperature of the Texans staff, they don't seem terribly concerned about his health. This makes sense given that they didn't do anything drastic in offseason relating to the QB position.
2. Defense v Offense. Kubiak mentioned today in his comments after practice that the defense looks ahead of offense. This would make sense given two new QBs in the mix and a bunch of new receivers. Hard to get a sense of how these rookies will play because things were not exactly in sync. Will say that Kevin Walter and James Casey looked very comfortable.
3. Who won first out on to the field? From my observation, I think it was rookie Jared Crick.
4. Temps. Temperature is always a shock to the incoming rookies and the staff spends extra time talking to them about hydration. Start of OTAs the temp was 84, but the end it was 88. Today's OTAs started at a later time than the rest of them–the rest of the OTAs will start 40 minutes earlier. I didn't see any rookies having issues with the heat like you sometimes do the first day.
5. Big guy observations. Brandon Brooks, though bigger than what the Texans typically draft at offensive linemen, carries his weight well. Very thick legs. Earl Mitchell reportedly gained 20 pounds in the off-season. Looks solid on his frame.
During OTAs, you can't Tweet. After it is over, you can. I strongly suggest that if you want to get post-OTA info, you follow me at @StephStradley. I will be Tweeting info I think is interesting to Texans fans and some information relevant to fantasy football.
(If you are not on Twitter and you are a sports fan, you are missing out. If you follow good people, you can get great, interesting, real-time information. It is truly the best real-time information source (though sometimes the info can be wrong, sort of in the fog of war, or when fast doesn't mean right). You don't have to say anything on Twitter if you don't want to, though it is an amazing tool to communicate with people that you would not otherwise chat with. You only read it when you feel like it, so it doesn't function like email where you have to catch up with it. I don't mind waiting in long lines at the store anymore because there's always Twitter to read).
If there are things you want to me to find out more about, please leave those questions in the comments. In addition, think of this as an open thread for OTA comments and questions. I know that for diehards, no amount of info is too much, but at this point, there's limited information. They are practicing. Without pads. With a lot of guys still trying to learn what they are supposed to be doing.

Most moms and dads are not taught how to parent. We are supposed to just know what to do, I suppose. But even if you have a relatively calm and obedient child, moments inevitably arise when you could really use an owner's manual. Belatedly, I think I've found one. Parent-child interaction therapy is a kind of parent training designed to help young children with serious behavior problems. The behaviors in question can range from repeated recalcitrance to violence, and are a feature of diagnoses such as oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, both of which mean that your child's behavior is pretty problematic. PCIT has also been used to dramatically improve the parenting skills of mothers and fathers in the child welfare system, leading to large reductions in repeated reports of child abuse. (For more on PCIT and its benefits, see "Parent Training Can Improve Kids' Behavior," by Ingrid Wickelgren, Scientific American Mind, March/April 2014.)
In my view, however, PCIT offers lessons for everyone faced with the task of raising kids.
In the therapy, a trained practitioner guides live interactions between a parent and child while the two play. The therapist sits behind a pane of one-way glass so that the therapist can see what is going on, but remains hidden to the parent and child. As play proceeds, the therapist talks to the parent through an earbud the parent wears. A typical session lasts about an hour and families require 13 sessions, on average, before they graduate (although some need fewer and others, many more).
These sessions are divided into two parts. In the initial block, parents learn to orchestrate amicable child-directed play—or CDI, for Child Directed Interaction. In this procedure, the child takes the lead and the parent is supposed to respond in prescribed ways. In particular, parent practices so-called PRIDE skills: Praise, Reflect, Imitate, Describe and Enjoy. That is, a parent is told to readily praise good behavior, but ignore annoying or disruptive actions—which is easier said than done if you have ever been a parent. (Dangerous or physically abusive behavior, however, cannot be ignored and has to be stopped.) The idea is to teach the child that he or she will receive attention only for behaving well.
The parent also learns to reflect (repeat or paraphrase) the child's words, imitate and describe a child's actions, and express enjoyment. All of this intense engagement helps the child focus and makes him or her feel appreciated. The overall effect is often to calm the child and make him or her feel closer to the parent, which is a good foundation for that relationship and for good behavior. The parent is supposed to avoid criticizing or correcting the child or—in this phase—even telling the child what to do.
Once a parent masters the PRIDE skills, he or she moves on to the second phase of the therapy, called Parent Directed Interaction (PDI). In this phase, the parent gives commands. Failure to comply with a command leads to a warning of a specific punishment—usually sitting in a time-out chair—and then delivery of that punishment. Complying with a request is supposed to be greeted with immediate, labeled praise in which a parent tells the child exactly what the child did right. The consequences of either obedience or disobedience must be consistent, so much so that the wording for the warnings and commands are scripted. So is the exact amount of time the child must sit in a chair, or, if the situation escalates, a time-out room.
Most parents do not need to sign up for therapy sessions to understand the value of the instruction PCIT offers. Putting aside time to build a bond with your child is invaluable. Once you have set aside that time, you need to know how to use it to avoid the interaction dissolving into a fight. Something as simple as keeping your voice even in tone helps. Ignoring minor infractions rather than reacting to them—and thereby inadvertently reinforcing bad behavior in an attention-seeking child—is also an excellent skill to hone. Immediately and specifically doling out praise to a child is beneficial, too, and it may be something that rushed or distracted parents often forget. In addition, I learned to phrase commands as such, and not as questions, which may lead the child to think there is a choice when that was not the intention. Consistent consequences are important, but often a bigger challenge, especially with kids too old to be confined to a chair.
In the audio clip below, psychologist Steven Kurtz of the Child Mind Institute in New York City guides a mother and her six-year-old son through a PCIT session. This particular parent-child pair has advanced to the second phase of training, and in this session, they alternate between child-directed play and parent-delivered commands.

Hong Kong plague medal, England, 1894
Bubonic plague swept through Hong Kong from May to September 1894, claiming 2,500 lives. The Hong Kong authorities awarded this medal to nurses, civil servants, police, and British army and naval personnel who helped the crown colony during the epidemic. The medal shows a Chinese man lying on a bed being tended to by a female nurse while a man holds off the winged figure of Death. The Chinese characters on the left hand side spell out the name of the colony. This medal (complete with ribbon) was awarded to Private S Abbey of the King's Shropshire Light Infantry who served in Hong Kong during the epidemic. Overall 400 men and women received this medal. However, British army personnel were not authorised to wear them on their uniforms.

BOSTON – After outstripping national growth in recent years, the Massachusetts economy has "dropped into a lower gear," according to the Leading Economic Index released Thursday by the MassBenchmarks editorial board.
According to the report, which is published by the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute, deteriorating global economic conditions are taking their toll on the Bay State's innovation sector, which has been driving Massachusetts growth in recent years.
"A series of economic 'headwinds' poses serious risks to the sustainability of the state and national recoveries, and there is considerable economic uncertainty both across the Commonwealth and the nation," said the report, written by MassBenchmarks Executive Editor Robert Nakosteen.
Massachusetts is mainly struggling in the information technology sector. According to the Leading Economic Index, sales of silicon computer chips – an indicator for the health of the IT sector – are down worldwide.
The Bay State's merchandise exports, including IT products, are down from 2011.
"To date, the softening in worldwide demand for IT products and services appears not to have made a dent in Massachusetts jobs," said the report, adding that employment losses in the Commonwealth have been concentrated in construction, retail trade, non-technical business services, leisure and hospitality, and private education. According to the report, these job losses are "reflective of weak demand from both households and businesses."
"Apart from IT, other segments of the state's innovation economy appear to remain strong, especially in life sciences," said the report.
The national economic slowdown, which is affecting the Bay State, is due to three main economic headwinds, according to the report.
- A "wealth effect" in which contracting household balance sheets and a diminished value of assets have discouraged consumer spending.
- A housing sector that "until very recently has stubbornly resisted recovery."
- Ongoing fiscal drag, which is mainly due to layoffs in both the state and government sectors.
Only housing seems to be improving, both across the United States and in Massachusetts, as prices and sales stabilize. "It is hard to envision a genuine economic expansion without a recovery in this vital sector, so this is a beneficial change," said the report.
Massachusetts also has been affected by slowing growth in China and the recession in Europe, primarily due to slowing trade between the Bay State and these regions.
"As the third quarter of 2012 comes to a close, the slowdown in national and global growth is clearly taking its toll on the state economy," said the report.
The MassBenchmarks editorial committee postulated that going forward, the near-term risks to Massachusetts' economy are skewed to the downside and the Bay State's economic fate is in the hands of key lawmakers.
"While we do not anticipate a return to economic recession in Massachusetts in coming months, we have the urgent hope that our national political institutions can muster the will to address the serious fiscal and economic issues that threaten the state and national economies and successfully navigate the treacherous path that lies ahead," said the report.

We approached NorthCap in our first round of financing. Eventhough we were too early for NorthCap. Søren J. Nielsen and Jesper Scharling took time to meet with us and give their advice. NorthCap recommended us to another Ventture Capital firm, which ended up investing in us.

Norwegians piling into Korean bonds
One of the stories of this year has been the stupendous rally on emerging local currency debt, fuelled in part by inflows from institutional investors tired of their zero or negative-return investments in Western debt. Norway's sovereign wealth fund said last week for instance that it was dumping some European bonds and spending more of its $600 billion war chest in emerging markets.
Quite a bit of that cash is going to South Korea. Regulators in Seoul recently reported a hefty rise in foreigners' bond holdings (see here for the Reuters story) and Societe Generale has a note out dissecting the data, which shows that total foreign holdings of Korean bonds are now worth around $79 billion — back at levels seen last July. Norwegians emerged as the biggest buyers last month, picking up bonds worth 1.5 trillion won ($1.3 billion) , almost double what they purchased in the entire first half of 2012. Norway's holdings of Korean Treasuries now total 2.29 trillion won, up from just 190 billion won at the end of 2011.
The growing interest from overseas investors would seem logical — South Korea stands on the cusp between emerging and developed markets, with sound policies, a current account surplus and huge currency reserves. And Socgen analyst Wee-Khoon Chong says the Norwegian crown's recent strength against other currencies makes such overseas trades more attractive (the crown is up 6 percent versus the euro this year and has gained 5.3 percent to the Korean won). "Norwegians are the newbies into the KTB market," Chong says. "They are probably recycling their FX reserves."
All the interest from overseas (along with the central bank's switch to monetary easing) have pushed yields on benchmark 5-year Korean bonds to record lows under 3 percent, after starting the year at 3.4 percent. Yet that is significantly higher than what's available in the "safe" Western markets such as Germany, United States and Britain — 5-year bonds in these countries offer 0.5-0.7 percent.

Hello and Welcome! Hi I'm David. My wife is Pam. Pam and I love to travel and capture what we can of the places we visit. As has been said many times, "there is no place like home" and we also love to photograph this part of the world around Shipshewana, Indiana. We love our Amish neighbors and hope to respectfully capture their way of life in photographs. Photography is difficult because everyone has a nice camera in their phone and can take a picture that is pretty darn good. I shoot with Nikon D800's and Nikon lenses so the quality of the image is very high. I do everything I can to produce very good work and I try to be consistent in working on it every day. This is how some of us connect with the world around us. We can't stop...
Our return policy is very simple:
If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on Pixels.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date. As soon as it arrives, we'll issue a full refund for the entire purchase price. Please note - Pixels does not reimburse the outgoing or return shipping charges unless the return is due to a defect in quality.

Richard was a regular member of the UNIT team, playing Mike Yates throughout most of the 3rd Doctor era and again in the anniversary story, The Five Doctors.
His visit to the Galaxy Four store on Saturday 4th October 2003 was greeted with much interest and illustrates how popular his era of the show remains.
Richard is witty, spontaneous and generous and spared time to chat with everyone who attended the signing.
To celebrate 25 years of Blakes Seven, Jacqueline Pearce (Servalan) was signing autographs and meeting fans at the Galaxy Four shop on Saturday 7th June 2003.
As well as her her famous role as Servalan In Blake's Seven Jacqueline is well known to Doctor Who fans for her memorable role as Chessene in 'The Two Doctors' and in the Big Finish drama 'Colditz'. She has created a whole new legion of fans in 'Soldiers Of Love' as Madame Deephole. A new fascinating CD release of Jacqueline in MJTV's Actor Speaks range was launched at this signing.
Jacqueline (or Jackson as she likes to be called) enthralled the visitors who turned out on this beautiful sunny day and signed autographs and chatted with attendees for over two hours.

Our Kindle Fire arrived!
So far, it's living up to all the hype.
Serenity and I played on it all day yesterday and totally love it!
You can't find quite as many Apps as the iPad yet, but then it's only holds 8GB of content.
You can't find quite as many Apps as the iPad yet, but then it's only holds 8GB of content.
It's mostly for accessing your Amazon purchases, and if you're an Amazon Prime customer (like me!), you'll find it very convenient.
I'll do a more in-depth post about it once Serenity and I have had a chance to play on it a little longer.
I tried to find a DIY sleeve tutorial for it, but it's so new I couldn't find anything.
I did however find this great Patchwork Kindle Cover tutorial for the Kindle Keyboard from Elizabeth's Whimsies.
It wasn't quite what I was looking for, but close enough!
I had to change the measurements because the Fire is a little smaller than the Kindle Keyboard.
I made a few more adjustments too since I was looking for something that was quick and easy to sew.
1 piece of 9" x 12" wool felt blend
light fusible web
elastic pony
permanent sewing glue
embroidery floss
Iron the fusible web on a 9" l x 12" w piece of fabric.
On the right side of the fabric, place the elastic pony at the top edge, 3" from the side (it doesn't matter which side).
Place the felt on top of the fabric, sandwiching the elastic pony in the middle.
Sew across the top using a 1/2" seam allowance to attach the two pieces of material together.
Your project is now one big piece with a "center" seam.
With right sides facing, fold the entire piece in half - it'll be about 6" wide and 18" long.
Using 1/2" seam allowance, sew around the raw edges leaving a 3" opening in the felt.
Turn fabric inside-out by gently pulling the entire sleeve through the opening in the felt.
Carefully fold the raw edges of the opening inside and glue closed.
Allow time for the glue to dry before handling the sleeve.
You could use hot glue or a ladder stitch to close the opening too.
Put the felt lining inside the sleeve while trying to get everything to lay as flat as possible.
It takes a little pinching and pulling to arrange it neatly.
It takes a little pinching and pulling to arrange it neatly.
Iron, then top stitch around the opening.
Sew on the button using embroidery floss.
All done!

Introducing Moldova
Chiprianu Monastery © Andrey
Moldova is a small landlocked country in Eastern Europe between Romania and Ukraine. Formerly part of the Soviet Union, Moldova achieved independence in 1991 but remains the poorest and one of the least developed countries in Europe. The far eastern portion of the country, Transnistria, has formed a breakaway republic backed by Russia and is a source of continuing cross-border conflict.
Moldova is most famous for its wines, which are of a very high standard despite being largely ignored in the west. The average rural household will press an average of 3,500 litres per year, mostly from grapes grown in their own fields. Aside from this enterprise there is little industry in Moldova, which means that the air and rivers are largely unpolluted, even within Chisinau, the capital and largest city.
The majority of the buildings were destroyed during World War II, and subsequent Soviet-era rebuilding has provided a drab and functional air to the resulting structures n Moldova. However, several historical gems did survive and these are well worth a visit. Orheiul Vechi is an ancient church complex carved into limestone cliffs, and the nearby village of Ivancea is a perfectly preserved medieval settlement populated by people of Ukrainian descent. Cahul, two hours from Chisinau, has restorative thermal spas, while Milestii Mici is home to an astonishing underground city of wine cellars stretching 120 miles (200km) below the city.
Despite these charms very few people visit Moldova, making this a genuinely offbeat destination that appeals to adventurous travellers, wine lovers and those interested in post-Soviet republics.

Celebrating Our Sister Cities
Even as City Founder George Merrick was in the beginning stages of creating Coral Gables, he dreamed of it as an international city, inspired by the great Mediterranean cities and serving as a gateway to the Americas. Today, Merrick's dream has come true. Not only is the City Beautiful a thriving, multi-cultural community, it also serves as a cultural and economic gateway to the Latin America region.
To further establish international ties, the City has forged relationships with cities around the world through Sister Cities International, an organization founded by President Dwight Eisenhower designed to create opportunities for cultural exchange at the municipal, county and state level. When the first Sister City relationship was established with Cartagena, Colombia, in 1957, the program focused mainly on cultural exchange. Since then, the scope of these relationships has expanded to further promote understanding through educational and economic links as well.
Coral Gables currently has Sister City agreements with the following:

Bowls of beer solved slug problem
Staff writer
Anyone wanting to know how to deal with slugs in the garden can ask Lenore Dieter of Marion. She knows all about them from firsthand experience.
For years, slugs were eating the lower leaves off the trailing petunias in the two brick planters at her house at 737 S. Freeborn. However, it wasn't until last summer that Dieter finally learned what was causing the damage. She found out from Wendy Youk at Aunt Bee's Floral and Garden in Marion.
"You have slugs," Youk said.
She told Dieter to put small bowls of beer into the soil in the planters to trap the slugs. She tried it for several nights, and sure enough, she found numerous slugs floating in the beer every morning.
Dieter said she caught 72 slugs in two or three nights.
"You have to place the bowl so the rim is even with the soil so the slugs can crawl into it," she said.
When her two grandchildren, Sophia, 7, and Emerson, 4, visited last fall, she told them about the slugs. They found two slugs the next morning. One was in the beer, the other was crawling into the bowl.
Emerson picked it up and said, "Grandma, the other one is dead but I rescued this one."
"He thought it needed saving," Dieter said with a laugh.
Dieter's slugs are like slimy worms, only shorter, and they move like snails, leaving shiny trails in their tracks.
They need moist conditions to survive.
Dieter suspects the planters have an earthen bottom, and the slugs are coming up out of the ground.
She expects to see them again this summer, but this time she'll know how to head them off before they do any damage.
"If you think little garden slugs aren't harmful, you're wrong," she said. "They are."

Nov. 22, 2011
Fullerton, Calif. - Cal State Fullerton Junior Kayla Neto earned her third career first-team nod and teammates Gabrielle Dewberry and Leah Maurer were named honorable mentions for the first time as the Big West Conference announced its 2011 all-conference team Tuesday morning.
The Titans finished tied for fourth in the Big West Conference with an 8-8 record and have one more game on the 2011 slate this Friday with No. 3 Hawaii in Titan Gym.
The six-rotation player Neto was the Titans' best all-around athlete racking up 430 kills (4.02 per set), 22 aces, 360 digs (3.36 per set) and 44 blocks (0.41 per set) through last Friday's Big West finale. She currently ranks second in kills and points behind the league's player of the year, Cal Poly's Jennifer Keddy. One more kill on Friday will move Neto's season performance into Fullerton's single-season Top 10 for kills.
The Clarksburg, Calif., native has posted double-digits in kills 25 times in 28 matches and reached the 20-kill plateau seven times. She recorded double digits in kills and digs in the same match 19 times and recorded a career-best 30 digs on Sept. 24 against UC Santa Barbara.
Nationally, Neto ranks 43rd in kills per set and 52nd in points per set.
Dewberry emerged as the Titans' full-time libero a third of the way through the season and solidified the Titans defense and passing game. She played in all 107 of the Titans' set and posted a team-high 439 digs (5th in the Big West Conference). Her dig totals currently rank ninth all-time in a single season at Cal State Fullerton.
On Oct. 21 at UC Santa Barbara, the junior from Greenwood Village, Col., recorded a 33 digs, setting a career high and joining former Titan Cami Croteau with the eighth-best single match dig performance in school history.
In all Dewberry has 20 matches with with double-digit digs - 19 of them coming over the last 20 matches. She had 15 or-more digs 16 times, 20-plus eight times and had 30-or-more scoops twice in Big West action.
Maurer also put up a well rounded season for the Titans, leading the team with 79 blocks, adding the second-most kills (266) and aces (18), while tacking on 116 digs.
The senior from Mission, Kan., reached double figures in kills 11 times in 2011 and blasted a career-high 18 two times in Big West action. She had three-or-more blocks 12 times, had five-plus seven times and set career highs on the road at both Arizona and Montana with seven blocks. Of her 79 blocks, 22 of them were of the solo variety.
In her two-year Titan career Maurer missed playing in just two sets and failed to record a block in just four of her 60 matches in a Titan uniform.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara women's soccer team continued to struggle for goals on Sunday, dropping a 1-0 decision at Cal State Northridge. It was UCSB's third consecutive one-goal loss.
For the second straight match, the Gauchos (5-9-2 overall, 0-4 in Big West) could not muster a goal and the Matadors (4-7-2 overall, 2-1-1 in Big West) parlayed that into a shutout win.
Northridge scored the only goal of the match at 49:29 when Amanda Smith crossed a ball just inside the penalty box. Nicole Cruz, who came off the bench, collected the pass and hit paydirt on a shot from the left side of the box that went into the right corner of the goal.
UCSB stayed in the match because of the play of sophomore goalkeeper Makenna Henry. The Fountain Valley, Calif., native had six saves as she limited the Matadors to just one goal. Some of her goals were of the spectacular variety.
Cynthia, Jacobo, the All-Big West goalkeeper each of the last two seasons, had five saves for Northridge.
Santa Barbara finished with 13 shots overall, five of which were on frame. The Matadors had 19, including seven on frame. UCSB's leader was Katy Roby who had four overlal and two that would have gone in if Jacobo had not made the stop.
The Gauchos resume Big West play on Sunday, Oct. 16 when they host UC Riverside in a 5:00 p.m. match at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. Tickets can be purchased at the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling 805-893-UCSB or online by clicking here.

Sometimes the best laid plans go every which way but the one you want…
Sam Watson wants to propose to the love of his life, Rosie Ramos, but all his previous attempts have been thwarted. Every. Single. Time. This time he's determined that nothing, and no one, will get in his way. No interruptions. No exceptions. Not from work, not by family busybodies, not even if the roses crucial to his plans are lost. Nothing will stop him.
If only someone had let Rosie in on his plans…
Warning: Contains misguided intentions, a hunky hero with more than just a ring burning a hole in his pocket, and a spitfire girlfriend who counters with her own proposal. The romance may be sweet but the sex is explicitly hot, hot, hot.

Sunlight glinted off the solitaire diamond engagement ring and fractured into a thousand rainbows that danced over the walls and ceiling. Heedless of the display, Sam Watson juggled the hotel phone between his ear and shoulder. "What do you mean, the roses haven't arrived? I ordered them last month."
"We're looking into the situation now, Mr. Watson," the concierge responded. "We're working with the florist to locate them and they'll be in your room by the time you return tonight."
Sam pinched the bridge of his nose, mentally running through his checklist. What else could go wrong? "You understand I want everything to be perfect tonight, right? It's not just about the roses. I want the champagne chilling in the ice bucket, the music cued up, candles ready to be lit. It's gotta be perfect, you hear me?"READ MORE
Unlike the last three times he'd planned to propose, only to have his plans go awry. Rosie deserved perfect and if it killed him, he'd give her the perfect memory. The perfect proposal.
"Yes, sir. I'll personally ensure everything is exactly as you've requested, even if I have to go out and purchase the roses myself."
"Make sure they're red roses. Not pink. Not white. Red." To match his favorite shade of her lipstick.
"Yes, sir. All I need from you now is an approximate time you'll be returning so we can be set up and out of your way."
Now there was a problem. Every member of the Ramos family could talk the ears off a concrete elephant. A regular dinner generally lasted two hours—a birthday dinner might last until dawn. The way his luck was running lately, he hedged his bet. "Set it up before six." Dinner shouldn't be cooked and eaten before then, he doubted. "That way we won't walk in on your staff and ruin the surprise. And call me if you can't get the damned roses."
After another assurance from the concierge that all would be done according to plan, he hung up the phone. Good thing too, because at some point during the call the shower had shut off. He closed the small blue box and slipped it back into his coat pocket moments before Rosie emerged. As it did every time she walked into a room, his whole body went on alert, needing to claim her.
A drop of water slid from the tip of one dark curl and over the curve of her breast before disappearing into the towel she'd tucked into her cleavage. Damned lucky towel.
Some of their clients had thought her natural sensuality, along with petite stature, made her less effective as a bodyguard. At least until he explained that those qualities made her less likely to scare the bejesus out of a client's kids or pass undetected by anyone expecting to see a six-foot-six behemoth like himself. After that, he'd have Rosie give them a demonstration by taking him down with a quick-and-dirty leg sweep, or show them the results of her last shooting competition.
A second, then a third droplet followed the path of the first. He skimmed a finger over her skin, tracing the path the water droplets had taken to the edge of the towel.
"Well, were you?"
"Was I what?" Was the towel slipping? If it wasn't, it should. A slight tug should be enough to—
The single finger tilting his chin until he met her eyes made him focus, as did the impatient tapping of her tiny foot. "Saa-am…"
Uh-oh, she was getting that tone in her voice. She'd said something, but damned if he knew what. "Sorry. I got distracted. What did you ask?"
She clamped a hand across her bosom, which only served to press the soft mounds until a hint of cinnamon nipple peeked over the terry. With her free hand she made a V with her fingers and aimed them at her face in an unspoken "eyes up here, buddy" command.
After a brief internal struggle he managed to wrench his gaze back to her face. Her narrowed eyes told him she knew exactly what had distracted him.
"I asked—"she enunciated every syllable, drawing his gaze to her lips, still swollen from their earlier kisses, "—if you were talking to me while I was in the shower."
Shoot, he'd figured between her singing and the running water she wouldn't hear him talking. "Nope. I was—"Keep your eyes up, Watson, stop thinking about getting her naked, "—checking in with Chad."
"I know it's a blow to your ego, but Chad doesn't need you to micromanage things. He's perfectly capable of running the office himself. And you took a couple of days off to relax." She poked her index finger into the middle of his chest. "So relax already."
"Hey, he contacted me first." He didn't have to mention that his second-in-command had reached him by text message, which is how he'd replied. "It's not my fault the guy's OCD about details." Which was what made Chad so good at his job.
Her expression softened. "I worry about you, Sam. You've been working so hard lately. You deserve this vacation. Chad can handle any issues that come up back in D.C."
"I know, but—"
"No buts. Now promise me you won't be checking your email or texting him all day. Give yourself some time for fun."
The scent of her shampoo—a light fragrance of ginger and some other spice—filled his lungs. Damn, she smelled good enough to eat. A quick check over his shoulder at the hotel room clock showed he had time to do a little taste test of the smorgasbord known as Rosalinda Ramos. Taste test, hell! Count him in for a whole sit-down dinner with her laid out as the main meal. He gave in to temptation and tugged at the terry tucked into her cleavage. "Well, lookie here, your towel's come loose."
Damned if she didn't thwart him by pressing her whole body against him to hold it in place. "I know I said you should have fun but we're due at my parents' in less than an hour. We don't have time for sex right now."
He raised his eyebrows and drew himself up to his full six foot six to stare down at her. "There's always time for sex."
She slapped at his chest with little heat. "I still have to dry my hair—"
With her tight curls, drying meant using a boatload of hair products to help keep her hair straight and tame, which took her at least forty-five minutes.
"—and do my make-up."
Shoot, he could have waited an hour or more to get dressed up in this monkey suit. At least he could loosen his tie while he waited. And maybe his fly. He always got a hard-on watching her apply her makeup—especially her lipstick, while he imagined the particular shade on her lips as they closed around his cock the way they had earlier.
"Then I have to get dressed." The conviction in her voice faded as she nuzzled her face against his chest.
Yeah, they were definitely going to be late, thanks to the erection painfully constrained by his briefs.
"We can blame traffic if we're late." He slipped his hands beneath the terrycloth and palmed her bare ass. Drowning in Rosie's sensuality, he gave in and allowed his carnal side to take over.
Rosie gasped when he lifted her until they were nose-to-nose, her bare feet dangling a foot off the floor. Though she teased him about lugging her around like she was a suitcase, she found his penchant for picking her up as though she weighed nothing incredibly romantic.
With a shake of her head in mock dismay, she locked her hands around his neck and hooked her legs around his hips. "You're incorrigible, you payaso."
"Even a clown would get hard watching you parade around in nothin' but a towel, Rosebud." As proof of the truth of his statement, he pressed his erect cloth-covered shaft against her mound.
She should have anticipated this when he'd ogled her cleavage instead of listening to her. Oh heck, she'd seen the look he'd given her when she'd headed into the shower, and quite frankly she'd been surprised he hadn't joined her. The fact that they'd already made love before breakfast never slowed Sam Watson down.
"Have I told you I love you this morning?" he asked.
He had. Numerous times, in English, Spanish, French and what she thought might be German—once he'd discovered she got turned on by foreign languages, he'd exploited her weakness without a qualm.COLLAPSE
… all the twists, turns, spills, and misunderstandings just make for all the more fun and anticipation in this story. So…if you're a fan of the Hauberk Protection series this is a must read! And, if you haven't read this series—Get To It—you're missing out! Lots of danger, lust, excitement, and super-hot sex.
For readers of the series: Perfect Proposal is a follow-up, an epilogue if you want to call it that, to Personal Protection. I loved Sam and Rosie so much I wanted them to finally have their HEA, but I didn't want to divert attention from the heroes and heroines in the other books to revisit them. Which all means that you won't have to have read Perfect Proposal to understand Hidden Heat or any future stories.
PERFECT PROPOSAL is included in the print copy of DELIBERATE DECEPTIONS.

Topic: Celebration Europe Art Print
I guess they're finally starting to sell the art prints that were left over from the Celebration Europe. They have some pretty nice ones available, but this one, of course, caught my eye.
They have it available for sale on the Star Wars Shop website right now, but it's a little pricey.

Enjoy everyone.

Two courses designed for a general audience will be presented during the week-long Summer Seminar program at Hope College.
The seminars will run Monday-Friday, July 27-31. The courses are "Creative Writing: Poetry: Learning from Some Masters" and "Creative Writing: Memoir."
The seminars will run concurrently from 9 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the air-conditioned Van Zoeren Hall on the Hope campus. Refreshments will be provided during mid-morning breaks.
"Creative Writing: Poetry: Learning from Some Masters" will explore the work of some of the poets who have had a major impact on the art of poetry, with a particular emphasis on what in particular distinguishes their work. Students will then be encouraged to apply what the poets do to some writing of their own. The course will be taught by Jack Ridl, professor emeritus of English.
"Creative Writing: Memoir" will follow the writing process outlined by Lisa Dale Norton's book "Shimmering Images: A Handy Little Guide to Writing Memoir." Students will apply the process in their own writing, discussing their work and examining each other's work during class. The course will be taught by David James, adjunct associate professor of English and director of the writing center at Hope.
Enrollment for each seminar costs $240 for those who wish to audit, $385 for one hour of undergraduate credit or graduate credit, and $770 for two hours of undergraduate credit. Pre-registration is advised, although final registration will be on Monday, July 27, from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. in Van Zoeren Hall, which is located along 10th Street between Central and College avenues.
Those interested in attending a seminar should call the Hope College Registrar's Office at (616) 395-7760. More information about the courses and online registration are available at https://hope.edu/admin/registrar/.

It seems Next Door Buddies attempted rescue of Falcon has failed. The bank came to collect, and this time there was no white knight.
So control of the iconic Falcon brand falls to Chris Ward. The irony is, of course, the films he directed for Falcon in the late 90's were sold to Steven Scarborough, with the exception of the one or two Mustang movies (and I believe one of them stars Chris Steele, head of Jet Set. Wow, small world.). I guess Hot House is next for AEBN?

Brendon Kay threw for a touchdown and ran for another on Friday night, getting Cincinnati's offense moving again after its worst showing of the season, and the Bearcats pulled away to a 27-10 victory over South Florida.
CINCINNATI — Brendon Kay threw for a touchdown and ran for another on Friday night, getting Cincinnati's offense moving again after its worst showing of the season, and the Bearcats pulled away to a 27-10 victory over South Florida.
Cincinnati (8-3, 4-2 Big East) was coming off a 10-3 loss to Rutgers that eliminated the Bearcats from the league title race. It was the first time since 1987 that the Bearcats gave up only 10 points and lost.
Kay ended the drought with an 18-yard touchdown scramble in the first quarter. He also threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Travis Kelce and set up another score with a 48-yard completion. Kay was 17 of 27 for 178 yards, He also ran seven times for 48 yards.
George Winn ran for 119 yards and scored from 3 and 4 yards out in the second half, when the Bearcats pulled ahead 27-3.
South Florida (3-8, 1-5) struggled behind redshirt freshman Matt Floyd, making his first career start. Floyd was 21 of 39 for 176 yards.
Demetris Murray's 5-yard run ended a streak of 10 quarters without a touchdown by the Bulls and cut it to 27-10 with 7:19 left in the game.
It was 38 degrees with gusty winds at the kickoff. The Bulls had sideline heaters and warmed benches to take the chill off the evening. One of them billowed smoke in the closing minutes.
The game ended with a nasty exchange in front of the Cincinnati bench. Officials and coaches stepped between players to break it up.
Both teams came in with questions about their quarterbacks.
Kay replaced the struggling Munchie Legaux and led the Bearcats to a pair of wins and the loss at Rutgers, during which the senior hurt his left (non-throwing) elbow.
It didn't bother him as he scrambled to avoid the Bulls' pass rush on Friday. After South Florida fumbled, Kay eluded the rush for his 18-yard scamper and a 7-0 lead.
The Bearcats surprised the Bulls with a quick-snap play in the second quarter, and Kay threw a short pass that Anthony McClung turned into a 26-yard gain. Kay's 3-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce made it 13-0 — the extra-point attempt hit the upright.
Kelce had a team-high seven catches for 58 yards and became the first Cincinnati tight end to have 500 yards on receptions during one season.
Kenbrell Thompkins got behind the coverage for a 48-yard pass from Kay to the 3-yard line late in the third quarter. Winn ran the rest of the way for a 20-3 lead.
South Florida was on its third quarterback of the month, and it showed.
B.J. Daniels broke his left ankle on Nov. 3. Junior Bobby Eveld replaced him and separated his left shoulder in the first quarter of 40-9 loss to Miami last weekend. Floyd finished it out, completing 20 of 35 for 175 yards with two interceptions.
Floyd couldn't get the offense moving on Friday night until Cincinnati was in control. The Bulls managed only 95 yards in the first half. They ran 15 plays in the second quarter for a total of 14 yards — two long sacks set them back.
South Florida lost receiver Terrence Mitchell on its opening drive of the third quarter. The junior was shaken up by a collision with a defender and was helped off the field. Mitchell missed most of last season after a concussion.

|Assistant Coach
|High School:
|Previous College:
|New England College '06
|Years at Yale:
|2014-15 is 5th Year at Yale
Eddie Ardito, who served as volunteer assistant in 2010-11, was promoted to assistant coach for the Yale women's ice hockey team in June of 2011. He played for Yale's head coach, Joakim Flygh, at New England College. Flygh, a 2000 graduate of New England College, was an assistant coach when Ardito played there.
Ardito has helped the Bulldogs make steady progress on the ice in recent years. In 2013-14 they posted their best winning percentage in conference games (.432) since 2007-08. In addition to making their first ECAC Hockey Championship playoff appearance since 2008, they earned their first postseason win since 2005 with a 3-2 double overtime win at then-No. 5 Harvard Feb. 28 in game one of the quarterfinals. The Bulldogs eventually lost the series two games to one (including a double overtime loss in game two), falling one goal shy of the program's second appearance at the ECAC Hockey semifinals.
Ardito and fellow Yale assistant coach Jessica Koizumi were Flygh's first two hires after taking over as head coach prior to the 2010-11 season. The Bulldogs showed many signs of progress on the ice in their first season under their new leaders, and they were one of three finalists for ECAC Hockey's SKOR Sports Trophy, recognizing the team that exemplifies sportsmanship, tenacity, commitment and innovation. They were in contention for an ECAC Hockey playoff spot until the final game of the year, and increased their goal total in conference games by 17 percent over the previous season (from 36 to 42). Yale was one of the least-penalized teams in the conference (8.1 penalty minutes per game) and did not incur a major penalty all season.
In addition to their sportsmanship on the ice, the Bulldogs are extremely active in the community. They rallied behind their teammate Mandi Schwartz '10 (1988-2011) in her battle with cancer, organizing numerous events to raise awareness of the need for marrow donors and umbilical cord blood donors for patients like Mandi with life-threatening illnesses. The team also began the "Yale Bulldog PAWS (Pediatric Alliance With Student-athletes)" program with Yale-New Haven Hospital, adopting a local nine-year-old girl, Giana, who is recovering from surgery for a brain tumor.
A native of Branford, Conn., Ardito was a three-time all-state and All-Southern Connecticut Conference selection for Branford High's ice hockey team. He was also a three-time MVP and two-time captain, and was a two-time All-SCC selection for the football team as well.
Ardito received a B.A. in sport & recreation management: athletic administration with a minor in coaching from New England College in 2006. He started his career as a forward for the Pilgrims and later served as student assistant coach.
After graduating, Ardito spent a season as the interim head coach of New England College's women's ice hockey team, leading the team to a 12-6-1 conference record and the semifinals of the ECAC East Tournament. He simultaneously served as the head junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach for the men's team, which went 13-5-1 in the conference and advanced to the ECAC East Championship game.
In addition to his time with New England's hockey teams, Ardito also served as a volunteer assistant baseball coach for the Pilgrims in 2007.
Ardito was assistant coach and director of hockey operations for Connecticut College's men's ice hockey team from 2007 through 2010. The Camels made a pair of NESCAC quarterfinal appearances in his time with them.
Ardito has worked multiple ice hockey camps, including National Hockey Training. He has also worked as a trainer at Bluestreak Sports Training Center in Stamford, Conn.
Off the ice, Ardito has volunteered with Special Olympics and Buddy Walk for children with Down Syndrome.

(Reuters) - An elderly driver accidentally crashed her pickup truck into a Las Vegas grocery store on Saturday, injuring 26 people and sending nine to the hospital, police said.
It was unclear why the woman, who was in her mid-80s, drove into the Food 4 Less store but it did not appear to be deliberate, said Lieutenant Ken Romane of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Nine people with minor to moderate injuries, including two children, were taken to hospitals but none of them had life-threatening wounds, Romane said. Another 17 people were treated on the scene.
Romane said an investigation of the incident continues and the woman has not been charged.
The truck plowed through the glass front doors of the store, striking shoppers and employees before coming to a stop at the rear of the building, Romane said.

Washington, D.C., March 1, 2013 – The American Society of Landscape Architects
(ASLA) is disappointed in the federal government's failure to avert the
sequestration that will start to take effect today.
While few deny that the federal deficit and accumulated debt
are real problems, the scale and timing of these cuts will significantly impact
our fragile economy and could disproportionately impact small businesses,
including small landscape architecture firms. ASLA is also very concerned that
these cuts will result in the furloughing of thousands of federal employees,
including federal landscape architects.
ASLA's fourth-quarter 2012 Business Quarterly survey
results had indicated a
steadier future hiring picture going
into the first quarter of 2013. Ninety-eight percent of landscape architecture
firms are small businesses, and about 24 percent of landscape architects are
self-employed. Federal budget cuts could force these firms to change their
spending and hiring plans as well as reduce their ability to meet their
customers' demand.
across-the-board spending cuts also mean fewer resources for much-needed
infrastructure projects. Landscape architecture firms partner with federal,
state, and local governments to plan and design community infrastructure
projects to manage stormwater and design public spaces and transportation
corridors. These projects save taxpayer money and provide community benefits
including water and energy efficiencies.
Nancy Somerville,
Hon. ASLA, executive vice president and CEO of ASLA, stated that "the message
is simple: prolonged uncertainty in the federal budget process will continue to
adversely impact landscape architecture firms and the economy as a whole."
We realize that
policymakers have difficult fiscal decisions to make. We urge President Obama
and Congress to continue to focus on more targeted cutbacks, rather than
across-the-board reductions. Their agenda must include working together to reinvest
in U.S. infrastructure.
For more information on ASLA's economic recovery priorities:
About the American
Society of Landscape Architects
Founded in 1899, the
American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is the national professional
association for landscape architects, representing more than 15,000 members in
49 professional chapters and 76 student chapters. The Society's mission is to lead,
to educate, and to participate in the careful stewardship, wise planning, and
artful design of our cultural and natural environments. Members of the Society
use the "ASLA" suffix after their names to denote membership and their
commitment to the highest ethical standards of the profession. Learn more at www.asla.org.

Al Bothwell graduated with an A.B. from Washington University in 1971, got a PhD from Yale in Sidney Altman's lab in 1975 and then did a postdoc with David Baltimore at MIT where he established the genetic basis of the anti-NP idiotypic antibody response. He has been on the Immunobiology faculty at the Yale Medical School since 1982. He continued studies of B cell antibody diversity and memory and then worked on T cell receptor structure/function and signaling. He also developed the molecular genetics of the Ly6 gene family (aka Sca-1/Ly6A and Ly6C). Increasingly his work has shifted to studies of human immunity with development of humanized mouse models of vascular disease/transplantation, type 1 diabetes and cancer. Studies on gut inflammation in a genetic tumor model and Inflammatory Bowel Disease have lead most recently to contributions concerning wnt signaling to infections and asthma. His studies focus on the remarkable immunoregulatory properties of Wnt signaling that is both canonical and non-canonical and involves direct interaction with platelets.This is a basic mechanism for regulating tissue permeability affecting the mobility of lymphocytes and tumor cells.

NBA Commissioner David Stern recently sat down with Robert Wolf, an adviser to the White House, for an interview and gave a candid response about what he thinks about Barack Obama's hoop hobby and skills. (H/T BuzzFeed)
Stern was blunt. He's simply too predictable on the court, and thus, not as good as he thinks he is.
A month back, Vanity Fair's Michael Lewis wrote a profile of Obama set at a basketball game and said that Obama's game isn't catered around offense. Instead, he's more of a chippy player.
Stern also said that there will always only be one dream team, the one in 1992 that captured the world's attention and turned basketball into a global game.
The full interview will broadcast on Reuters TV on Oct. 29. Here's a clip:

text: I began my career in Adelaide over 10 years ago before making the decision to move to Melbourne, where I now work alongside Michael Piastrino at the award-winning Ibiza Hair and have established a reputation as a sought after colourist with fine attention to detail! Career Highlights include winning the 2016 Hair Expo Colour Technician of the Year award, and having this collection recognised as a Finalist in the 2016 Hair Expo Photographic Collection of the Year. I was also a Finalist for the 2015 Hair Expo Colour Technician of the Year, and I've been a part of the Schwarzkopf Hair Expo team where I presented "BLONDE ME" live on stage. Creating beautiful work that inspires others and cultivates curiosity is perhaps one of the greatest gifts my hairdressing career has given me. My passion for colour and creative technique stems from my ability to create hair colour that has a commercial wearability, something that is touchable yet can elicit wonder. This flows over into my educator/technical roles with Schwarzkopf where I share my capacity to influence colour direction, and encourage a new wave of hairdressers to be inspired by colour and experiment with it. I am committed to my leadership role in the salon as Technical and Education Director, deriving enjoyment from watching my team learn and grow, challenging them to look beyond what is in front of them and imagining what could be. A creative colourist I thrive on taking something from what we see or perceive to be ordinary and making it extraordinary.
