Release Day and Giveaway! SEDUCING THE PRINCESS by Jen McLaughlin (Shillings Agency #3)
Seducing the Princess by Diane Alberts was released today! This is an adult, contemporary romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint. It is book #3 in the Shillings Agency series. Be sure to check out the contest below for a chance to win a prize pack!
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint…
He'll give her exactly what she needs…
Protecting a princess is not what former marine Gordon Waybrook signed up for when he joined the Shillings Agency. But instead of the spoiled, regal little creature he expects, Isabelle VanGuard is a fiery, sexy-as hell woman who's been denied what she needs for too long. And he's just the man to break through her frozen public facade and give it to her.
When she's with Gordon, all Isabelle can think about is pleasure. Their blistering chemistry is immediate and intense, but volatile. In fact, the only thing they agree on is that their one night together is just that—one night. Even after it becomes more. But tempers and temptation can't disguise reality. Isabelle is a princess, and a hot, hard, and tattooed bodyguard isn't the Prince Charming her country expects…even if he's exactly what she needs.
He tightened his grip on her shoulder. "You might own a fucking country, but tonight…I own you. Understood, Princess?"
She gasped, her stomach tightening at his naughty words. She'd never, ever been spoken to like that. Never talked dirty. It was a heady rush that she was doing it now. Here. With him. "I understand."
He lowered his face to hers, their lips a scant inch apart.
"Are you sure you want this? I'm only going to ask you this one time. You're a grown ass woman, so I won't ask you if you've changed your mind every other step we take toward that bed."
"I want this." She reached out and curled her hands around his nape, her fingers brushing the soft curl that rested just below his ear. "I want you."
"Then you're mine," he said. "You have been since you sat next to me in that coffee shop."
She nodded frantically, needing him to get on with it. To claim her. "Yes. I'm yours."
He growled and closed the distance between them, his lips crashing to hers. The second they touched, she knew that this would be unlike any experience she'd ever had. Gordon was undeniably sexy, and she was attracted to him more so than she'd ever been attracted to another man before, but that wasn't what would make this so different.
It was him, and the way he made her feel. Every single caress, every soft move he made, sent a surge of lust crashing through her veins. He said he'd own her tonight, and he was right. He totally did.

Previous Post Release Day and Giveaway! INSPIRE by Cora Cormack (Muse #1)
Next Post New Release Review and Giveaway! ONE SONG AWAY by Molli Moran


With the recent release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in the theatre, it's not too surprising to see a game released to support it - it's happened with every previous film after all. Despite the quality of these games often being called into question, the last game, which accompanied The Half-Blood Prince, looked to be a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, EA Bright Light Studio didn't take this on board and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 is a bitter disappointment.
Without going into too much detail, the story of the video game is almost identical to that of the film. So, if you have no knowledge of Harry Potter, you'll likely be wondering what exactly is going on at the start of the game. It's not too difficult to pick-up though, even if it all feels a little bit disconnected.
This is partially because of how the game is structured, but the cutscenes are also quite lacking in immersion. At specific points throughout the campaign Harry will have to undertake side-quests which are mandatory and have very little to do with what's actually going on. It's feels like they were put in as a way of padding out the game's poor length and the game does a very bad job of disguising this. They predominantly revolve around rescuing muggle-borns, or surviving against waves of enemies. There are a few different ones though, like escaping from a lair full of Dragons.
The game is primary a third-person shooter, although it does have some rather annoying sections where first-person is forced upon you. The controls are very basic, as you have the ability to shoot, move, use cover and use potions. You'll hardly ever use the cover system though as it's more annoying than anything due to the game's rather clunky camera. It's one of those cameras where it turns very slowly on its own, so you have to run around in circles to make it rotate faster - very annoying when there are enemies attacking you from multiple directions.
To take enemies down, Harry has a varying amount of spells, but while the game tries to influence you by saying that certain spells work better against certain enemies, there's almost no reason to use anything other than the first spell, Stupefy, which also performs a slight stun. Expulso, which fires rapidly, is also quite useful, but it is quite restrictive if the enemies decide to move around - something which they do frequently. Confringo is another favourite, because it performs a huge explosion, but if you miss you're left in a very awkward situation.
The only enemy that really requires any special treatment is the Dementor, which can only be taken down by using a defensive spell. It's quite awkward though as you have to try to run next to them and it doesn't always hit even if you're literally standing on top of them.
In an attempt to mirror the films more closely, there are also stealth sections, where Harry dons the cloak of invisibility. When this happens, the game shifts to a first-person camera and a little meter appears in the bottom-left corner. When you move, the meter decreases and it decreases more quickly if you're moving near people. If you stand still, it increases. It's all rather boring and aside from a bit of ease, coming from not having to kill everyone, it doesn't really add much to the game.
Something else that doesn't really add much to the game is the levelling system. This is used to give Harry a bit more health, to increase the power of his spells and to grant him access to more spells. Everything is automated though. There is absolutely no interaction with the system and it might as well not be there. It grants more health, but there is no health bar; it makes spells more powerful, but the enemies become more powerful as you progress so there's no real change; and spells probably could have been learnt some other way.
The game's presentation leaves quite a lot to be desired. The graphics aren't that great, although it is at least possible to easily identify all of the characters from the Harry Potter series. The various cutscenes featured throughout the game feel very lifeless and it's also reflected in the voice acting. Another annoying point is that the game's scenery is quite often reused throughout the game - especially in the side missions.
Clocking in at around 4 1/2 hours, the single player story isn't the most lengthy out there, especially if you consider the blatant filler that's sandwiched in there. The game does provide some challenges for when you finish though and it's possible to share scores online - it's not all that interesting though and it's unlikely to keep people's attention for long.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 can only be described as a bitter disappointment. It's a poorly designed third-person shooter with far too much fluff. Given the recent strides made by the developer, it's hard to see how this could have happened and it's difficult to recommend this for anyone aside from the ardent or oblivious Harry Potter fans.

Kearns signs with Nats for three years
WASHINGTON – It all was a tad overwhelming for Austin Kearns when he was dealt to the Washington Nationals by the Cincinnati Reds last season.
He'd never been traded. He went from a team near his Kentucky hometown to one on the East Coast. He went from a club contending for a playoff berth to one heading for a third consecutive last-place finish.
Now he's ready to make his home in the nation's capital. Kearns agreed Thursday to a three-year contract that guarantees him $17.5 million and adds a long-term piece to Washington's rebuilding effort.
"I don't think there's going to be a better place to be very soon," Kearns said. "I feel comfortable here, and I feel good about where it's going."
Kearns will get $3.5 million this year, $5 million in 2008 and $8 million in 2009, and the Nationals hold a $10 million club option for 2010, with a $1 million buyout.
"Certainly we think Austin's going to be a cornerstone of this franchise," said general manager Jim Bowden, who drafted Kearns as the Reds' GM in 1998. "His best years are ahead of him. His prime just starts now."
Kearns had filed for arbitration, asking for $4.25 million in 2007, while the Nationals offered $3.65 million. He made $1.85 million last season, when he hit .264 with 24 homers, 33 doubles and 86 RBIs in 150 games for the Nationals and Reds.
In five major league seasons, the 26-year-old Kearns has batted .265 with 79 homers, 104 doubles and 299 RBIs.
PITTSBURGH – The Pirates ended their long search for a right-handed starter, agreeing to a one-year contract with Tony Armas Jr.
The 28-year-old Armas was 9-12 with a 5.03 ERA in 30 starts with the Nationals last season. He made his major league debut with Montreal in 1999 and has a 48-60 record and a 4.45 ERA in 151 career starts.
CINCINNATI – Right-handed reliever Brian Meadows agreed to a minor league contract with the Reds and was invited to spring training.
Meadows appeared in 53 games for Tampa Bay last season, going 3-6 with eight saves and a 5.17 ERA.
BALTIMORE – Second baseman Brian Roberts avoided arbitration with the Orioles, agreeing to a $4.2 million, one-year contract.
The 29-year-old Roberts has a career batting average of .280.


Online Marketing for businesses with big ambitions: Blogging – why bother?
There is no standard way to write a blog, but you will remember a good one when you read it. It gives you good information on a specific theme, something that you did not know before and you might even subscribe or follow to receive more of the same blog. And here you have the best reason why you should write one yourself!
Think of a blog as an extension to your current website and services. Use it to tell your existing and potential clients why it is important to use your services. Warning: blogs should not be used to sell anything! They are there to pass information and create interaction with your readers through their comments.
On the other hand, blogs are also fresh content to search engines, and they just love it! Write them well and the search engines will most likely find you through your articles.
This is your chance to show how well you know your industry and how much it matters to you.
I know it's not easy, but consistency is important. Posting an article today and the next in 6 months is not going to do any good. Minimum of once a month, more than that, whatever you decide, just stick to it.
There is nothing worse than start reading an article and don't even know what it is about. Unless your audience is very specific, avoid acronyms or jargon.
By adding your keywords to them, search engines you will find you more easily and associate your blog to them. And don't forget to link them to your website or everywhere else you want to.
Everyone has a different way to write, and this clearly shows on your text. It's always good to keep the same style, but if you have different people writing the content, it is very unlikely to happen. In this case, make sure to add the author's name to each article which will actually make them more personal.
If you are up to the challenge but don't have a blog facility on your website, there is no need to despair. There are free online tools such as Blogger.com and Wordpress.com that allows you to create your blog(s). With a bit of tweaking you can have it looking like your website and even host all in the same place.
Blogging is about getting your opinion and knowledge known. Make good use of it!

Russian Regions Slash Cancer Spending As Costs Rise
by L Todd Wood June 23, 2017 July 27, 2018 05062
Image by volganet.ru
Russian regions outside of Moscow have been slashing spending on cancer treatment as drug costs rise.
Russian daily Izvestia reported spending has been slashed in over half of Russia's 85 regions for oncology.
Some areas cut funds by almost half, with the Far-Easter region of Sakhalin decreasing their annual spending by 48.5 percent. The Khanty-Mansi region saw spending decrease by 47.9 percent, while the Magadan Region cut spending by 39 percent, reported The Moscow Times.
"In Russia, there is no general standard of care for cancer patients," David Melik-Huseynov, Director of Russia's Institute of Healthcare and Medical Management, said.
"The same drugs are needed to treat cancer, regardless of where a patient lives. But everything depends on regional budgets."
Cancer drug availability has also been hurt due to tight controls on pain killers, which have caused some patients to commit suicide rather than be forced to deal with the pain.

ICC World Cup 2019 Match 22: India vs Pakistan Match Highlights
Charvi Saxena
There are very few matches which people eagerly await and bounce off the walls. ICC World Cup 2019 Match 22 was one such.
At Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, the match, ICC World Cup 2019 Match 22, was played between arch rivals, India and Pakistan, on 16th June 2019. The clashes between the two teams have always been keenly contested and passionately followed by the citizens of two nations.
Before this match, the teams had played against each other 6 times in the World Cups and the score was 6-0 in India's favour. This was the seventh contest between the two teams at a World Cup and the world was expecting a tough fight between the teams as has been the case in all previous matches.
Post winning the toss, Pakistan chose to bowl first, a decision which turned out to be a poor one as India went on to put up a formidable total on the board which Pakistan failed to defend.
The Men in Blue set-up a target of 336 runs for Pakistan to chase. The Indian opener & vice captain, Rohit Sharma, was declared the player of the match. Scoring 140 runs off 113 balls, Sharma guided India to a formidable score. Shikhar Dhawan's absence due to injury gave an opportunity to KL Rahul to open the innings for India with Rohit Sharma & he grabbed the opportunity gleefully.
Indian Innings
KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma opened the Indian innings. India lost its first wicket in the 23rd over. KL Rahul scored 57 off 78 and scored 136 runs in partnership with Rohit Sharma for the opening wicket. Rahul was caught by Babar Azam off Riaz. Rohit Sharma was also involved in a partnership of 98 runs with skipper Virat Kohli for the second wicket. When Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Hasan Ali, he had done enough damage to Pakistan. His score at the time of his dismissal was 140 and India's score was 234. Rohit Sharma's innings was studded with 3 sixes and 14 fours.
Pandya scored a quick 26 off 19 balls before he was caught by Babar Azam off Amir's ball. Skipper Kohli showed his class as he scored 77 off 65. In doing so, he went on to complete 11000 runs in ODIs. India set-up a target of 336 runs for Pakistan to chase. For Pakistan, Mohammad Amir was the standout bowler. He scalped three Indian wickets and gave away just 47 runs.
136-1 (Lokesh Rahul, 23.5)
234-2 (Rohit Sharma, 38.2)
285-3 (Hardik Pandya, 43.5)
298-4 (MS Dhoni, 45.1)
314-5 (Virat Kohli, 47.4)
Pakistan Innings
The match was reduced to 40 overs because of rain and Pakistan were set a target of 302 runs. Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq opened the Pakistan innings while Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah opened the Indian bowling. Bhuvneshwar Kumar limped off the field after bowling 2.4 overs and Vijay Shankar had to come to complete his over. Off his very first ball, Vijay Shankar trapped Imam-ul-Haq lbw. Babar Azam then joined Fakhar Zaman and both played with caution and patience and when it looked that they are taking Pakistan closer to victory, Kuldeep Yadav struck. He bowled Babar Azam off a peach of a delivery at a personal score 48 off 57 deliveries. Babar Azam's wicket was a crucial one and it turned out to be the turning point of the match as the rest of the batsmen, baring Fakhar Zaman, capitulated without much of a fight.
Fakhar Zaman was the highest run scorer for Pakistan. Scoring 62 off 75 Zaman was caught by Chahal off Yadav. Veteran Mohammad Hafeez was out for 9 when he caught by Shankar off Pandya. Pandya also consumed Shoaib Malik off the very next delivery. Much was expected from skipper Sarfraz Ahmed but he scored just 12 and was out to Vijay Shankar.
Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan tried hard to accelerate the run rate and take Pakistan closer to victory but the Indian bowlers bowled beautifully and did not give much liberty to them. Shadab scored an unbeaten 20 off 14 and Wasim scored 46 off 39 and he also remained not out. By the end of 40 overs, Pakistan could score 212 runs and thus lost the match by 89 runs.
It was a sweet revenge for India who had lost to Pakistan in Champions' Trophy final in 2017.
13-1 (Imam-ul-Haq, 4.5)
117-2 (Babar Azam, 23.6)
126-3 (Fakhar Zaman, 25.2)
129-4 (Mohammad Hafeez, 26.5)
129-5 (Shoaib Malik, 26.6)
165-6 (Sarfaraz Ahmed, 34.1)

World Test Championship 2019 -21: All You Need to Know
Sachin Arora
The ICC has finally announced the official commencement of the World Test Championship 2019-21 which has been something which every cricket fan was wishing for from a very long time. The matches for this multi-nation mega tournament has already began on August 1, 2019 with the first test match of The Ashes that is taking place at Edgbaston.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has tried to simplify the rules and regulations of the tournament as much as they could be but there could be still a sense of confusion in the minds of people. So, let's clarify and try to answer all doubts and questions that are there in our cricket fans.
What exactly is the World Test Championship 2019-21?
We come across various multi-nation T20I and ODI tournaments that are played regularly after a particular period of time but nothing of that sort existed for Test cricket till date. This tournament is just there to fill-in the Gap and find the best five-day playing nation in the world
What is the necessity of having this Championship?
Test Cricket is believed to be the purest form of the game where it gets to know the real skills and technique of the players by testing them for a long five-day period. But there is a trend that was being inculcated that majorly all the home teams were winning the series and the visiting sides were getting sidelined.
So, in order to remove that fashion from test matches and bring in a sense of more contest amongst the teams, it has been launched. It will also help in bringing the long lost interest of the cricket fans back to the longest format.
How many teams are participating in this WTC?
A total of nine top test playing nations will be taking part in the World Test Championship 2019-21. These nine teams include India, England, Australia, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies and Bangladesh. The other three test playing nations that include Zimbabwe, Ireland and Afghanistan will not be taking part in the inaugural season of WTC.
How will the matches be played at this Championship?
Each participating team will get to play a total of six series out which three of them will be played at home and three will be the away series. Each series will consist of 120 points and the division of the points is as given below:
What will be the schedule of India at this WTC?
India will begin their campaign for the World Test Championship on August 22 with the first Test match against the West Indies. Here is the full schedule of the Indian Team that will take place in the WTC:
West Indies vs India: August – September 2019 (Away, 2 Tests)
India vs South Africa: October 2019 (Home, 3 Tests)
India vs Bangladesh: November 2019 (Home, 2 Tests)
New Zealand vs India: February-March 2020 (Away, 2 Tests)
Australia vs India: November 2020-January 2021 (Away, 4 Tests)
India vs England: January – March 2021 (Home, 5 Tests)
How will the winner of the World Test Championship be decided?
The top two teams at the end of all the series will play the final match in June 2021. The tentative venue for the ultimate match is decided to be the Lord's Cricket Ground, England for now but it is yet to be finalized.
Indian Team announced for the Windies Tour
After a loss in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 at the semi-final match, the Indian Team will now begin with their International campaign with the West Indies that will begin from August 3 in the form of T20Is. The three 20-20 matches will be followed by the One Day Internationals and then the Test matches.
The Indian squad has been announced for all three formats after a Press Conference held by the Chief Selector MSK Prasad. Their were some interesting calls in the selection as there were a few surprising ins and outs. The biggest name that was not there in any of the squads was of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and this was quite obvious as well as the veteran had already mentioned his unavailability for this tour.
Other names that were not there in the limited overs side were of Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar and Dinesh Karthik. It seems like maybe Karthik has played his game in the Indian jersey and selectors have started looking beyond him.
Some interesting inclusions has been made in the bowling department in the 20 overs formats which is definitely done after seeing good performance in this edition of the Indian Premier League.

CWC 2019: Top 3 All-rounders
All-rounders are always considered to be one of the biggest assets for any cricket team and that turned out to be true in this year's World Cup edition as well. England Team won the ICC CWC 2019 after defeating New Zealand in the finals and one of the major reasons behind their victory was the amount of all-rounders that they had in their side.
Everyone was aware about England's deep batting as Jofra Archer who batted at number 10 for them has also won quite a few matches for T20 League teams all round the globe. Other teams also had some great all-rounders in their sides that impressed with both bat and ball. Some of them went a step ahead as they impressed with their athleticism in the field as well.
Here we will talk about three such multi-dimensional players who impressed not only their fans but cricketing experts as well.
1. Ben Stokes (England)

One name that cannot be missed out from this list is of Ben Stokes as the Englishman impressed all right from the very first match against South Africa where he lead his side in all three departments. He was also awarded with the 'Man of the Match' award in that game.
He continued with his tremendous form throughout the season as was the hero for his side in the night of finals as well where he kept on batting till the end and helped in tying the match which was eventually won by them on boundary count.
Runs: 465
Wickets: 7
2. Shakib Al Hasan (Bangladesh)

If we go as per the numbers, then Shakib's name deserves to be at the top but here we will go according to the impact that the players laid on the overall performance of their respective sides. By this, Shakib definitely deserves to be at this position while preparing this list.
We saw a great fighting spirit from the Bangladesh Team in this tournament that they never fail to showcase in any multinational or bilateral series. One of the major reasons behind their such performance in this CWC was spectacular performance from Shakib Al Hasan who lead his side from the front.
Matches: 8
Innings: 8
Wickets: 11
3. James Neesham (New Zealand)

One of the most underrated players of this season who performed well with both bat and ball should definitely be James Neesham of New Zealand. There were some other prospects like Hardik Pandya and Gulbadin Naib as well who could appear in this list but Neesham wins this race by quite some margin.
Neesham did not lose hopes and showed great composure in the important match of final where his team was chasing 16 runs in the Super Over and he almost took his side home and tied there as well.
CWC 2019: Top 3 Bowlers
It took around one and a half month and 48 matches to find the winner of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 as it was expected, it was the hosting nation England that lifted the trophy. They clinched the title in the finals after they defeated New Zealand in an absolutely thriller and arguably one of the best matches in the history of One Day cricket.
Before the World Cup started, it was expected that there will be flat tracks all over and we will witness some mammoth totals all around the tournament. But that did not happen as not the pitch were made without favouring any department but we also got to witness some exemplary bowling performances throughout the tournament. On thing that was found to be common was that there was no assistance for the spin bowlers.
As a result, in the list of top three bowlers, all of them are fast bowlers who made it here with their continuous performance in this season.
1. Mitchell Starc (Australia)

The leading wicket taker in this edition of ICC Cricket World Cup was Mitchell Starc from Australian and that too by quite a big margin as the difference between him and the bowler at second place was of six wickets. The value of his performance increased by an extent as he was not fully fit before the start of the tournament and there were speculations that how he will perform in the tournament.
Nothing of that sort was seen in the entire season as he also matched the all-time record of Glenn McGrath's 27 wickets in a single edition of the World Cup. His this performance was also a reason behind Australia's great performance in CWC 2019.
Overs: 92.2
Best Figures: 5/26 (vs New Zealand)
2. Lockie Ferguson (New Zealand)

One bowler that has impressed all with his skills is Lockie Ferguson who surprised the batsmen with his raw pace and bounce. He finished at the second spot in the list of most wickets as he ended the tournament with 21 wickets to his name.
There were other ace bowlers like Trent Boult and Tim Southee in his side but he sidelined everyone to be the leader of Kiwi bowling lineup. He also featured in the official team announced by the ICC for this World Cup.
Best Figures: 4/37 (vs Afghanistan)
3. Jasprit Bumrah (India)

This tally could not have been completed without the name of Jasprit Bumrah in it as the 'Yorker King' was definitely one of the best bowlers in this entire World Cup and there was hardly any outing when he performed badly. At the moment, Bumrah is the best Indian bowler without any doubt and that too in across all three formats.
Bumrah's name is at the fifth spot in the list of highest wicket takers but the impact that he laid was quite terrific. He bowled all the crucial overs for his side, took the wickets of opposition's best batsmen and was the go-to bowler for his captain.
Overs: 84
Best Figures: 4/55 (vs Bangladesh)
CWC 2019: Prize Money that the Indian Team won
The campaign for the Indian Cricket Team ended up on 10th July, 2019 after their defeat in the semi-final clash against New Zealand. It was one of the biggest heartbreaking moments for the Indian players as well as their fans cheering for them from all over the world. India topped the League Stage table with 15 points in nine matches.
Here, we will talk about the prize money that the Indian team won at the end of the tournament. The Cricket World Cup is considered to be one of the richest tournaments throughout the world and this could be easily seen in the amount that was awarded to the 'Men in Blue'.
The prize money for every team participating in this year's CWC has been increased from the last time as its format has completely changed resulting in no quarter finals taking place now. Here is the Prize Money distribution for each team participating in CWC 2019:
World Cup Winners- $4,000,000 (up from $3,975,000 of 2015)
Runner-up- $2,000,000 (up from $1,750,000 of 2015)
Losing Semi-finalists- $800,000 (up from $600,000 of 2015)
Winner of each group stage match- $40,000 (down from $45,000 of 2015)
Teams eliminated in group stage- $100,000 (up from $35,000 of 2015)
Indian Team's Prize Money
As mentioned earlier that the Indian Team won seven matches in their league stage which means they earned a whopping amount of $2,80,000 ($40,000×7) which results to be calculated at ₹1,90,40,000 (taking the conversion rate as 1 USD = 68 INR). This is the money that they earned at the end of the league stage only.
The team also went on to play the semi final matches which added another handsome amount of $800,000 (₹5,44,00,000). In totalling up all the money that they won in this edition of the World Cup, the amount comes out to be $10,80,000 which results to ₹7,34,40,000 (Seven Crores Thirty Four Lakhs and Forty Thousand Rupees) when converted in Indian rupees.
The Indian Team won ₹17,22,50,000 in the 2011 edition where they were the champions while managed to earn just ₹5,74,20,000 in the 2015 season where they ended their campaign in the semi-finals just like the 2019 season.

Aricidea (Allia) bryani, a New Species of Polychaete (Polychaeta: Paraonidae) from the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Gary R. Gaston, University of Mississippi
Jerry A. McLelland, Gulf Coast Research LaboratoryFollow
Aricidea bryani, a new species of polychaete (Polychaeta: Paraonidae) belonging to the subgenus Allia Strelzov 1973, is described from shallow subtidal sediments along the northern shore of Mississippi Sound, an estuary of the northern Gulf of Mexico. The new species is distinguished from other members of the subgenus by the presence of tuberculate neuropodial lobes in the anterior 15-20 setigers, a cirriform median antenna that extends posteriorly to setiger three, and by modified neuropodial setae that are abruptly tapered at mid-length, but lack terminal aristae.
Gaston, G. R. and J. A. McLelland. 1996. Aricidea (Allia) bryani, a New Species of Polychaete (Polychaeta: Paraonidae) from the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Gulf Research Reports 9 (3): 189-195.


Indiana's weather this past Winter was... well... awful! Ice, snow, snow days, inside recess, delays, make-up days, extended days... so we (Indiana TpT sellers) are MORE than happy to see that Spring is HERE!! To celebrate we are having a dollar product sale!

This week my kindergarten students have been learning about nonfiction texts. We have also been learning about dinosaurs. Kids love to read and learn about dinosaurs. Even the girls in my class are enjoying this unit of study. I created two products to use with the dinosaur units that I already have. The first is an emergent reader text that can be found here. The second is a Cookie Excavation freebie. It can be downloaded for free here. The neat thing about the cookie excavation is that the kids do not even realize that they are learning. My students were so engaged during the excavation activity. And... who doesn't love eating after discovering?
Since we are a Title I School we are required to have Title I Parent Nights. On Tuesday evening, we had a technology night. Parents could come in with their students to learn about educational websites they could use at home and how to access their child's PowerSchool account. Click here to download the pages that went home with each grade level.
Every year after Spring Break we have Penny Wars at our school and donate the money to a charity. This year we donated the money raised to the Make*A*Wish Foundation. Counting all of the money is a disgusting job...but the kids LOVE plotting against other classes!

We are all three having sales in our stores this weekend! 20% off to celebrate spring! Check out the links below to head to other stores with sales happening. If you are having a sale feel free to link up and use the image below.
I think over the course of the last few years I have had tuned, retuned, and re-retuned how I track standard mastery in my classroom a million times. It's hard to find a way that isn't totally time confusing and one that you don't have to have a road map drawn out for evaluators to understand. You know what I am talking about... "Well I mark an X here and then highlight in pink for every time they fail but only if I retaught it twice.. but the purple check mark means that they mastered the pre-test.... This paper over here is the results of the second assessment after the pre-assessment and a green highlight means that they mastered it but if it's just half green that means they barely mastered it..." and by the end of the explanation everyone is looking at you like you are nuts.
I came up with these super easy tracking sheets for mastery of the first grade Common Core Math Standards. Basically there are 4 columns for each of the math standards. If they master it on the first try, they get a check and I highlight it yellow. If they master it after that they get a check and a pink highlight. If you decide to reassess the whole class then they will just have a bunch of lovely checks... if you only assess a few after small group reteaching.. they just get the check in that column. It's pretty easy to see this and know automatically by color of highlights who is struggling each time you teach a skill. It's also super easy to see what standards you can reteach and what kids need pulled over during that reteaching time. Basically, once you earn that check no matter if it is yellow or pink... you have shown mastery of that skill.
You can download these tracking sheets for free in my TpT store! Just click on the image below!
How do you keep track of mastery, reteaching and all that super time confusing but necessary data? Leave a comment and share your ideas!!
I am linking up again with Krista over at Teaching Momster for her Math Madness Wednesday Linky. Her topic this week is subtraction tips and tricks.
One of my favorite apps for subtraction is called "Math Puppy" The free version of this app works on subtraction skills. The students find the subtraction answer to make a Bingo. My students use this app along with the hundreds chart to find the answer. It is a super cute app and my students love it... they begged me to download it onto all the iPads that we borrow from the reading lab. You can find it by clicking HERE!
Another way I love to teach beginning subtraction skills is with manipulatives. My students love Play-dough so any chance to use it is exciting. I created this super simple freebie where students make play-dough shapes and then "smash" the number they are subtracting. This gives them a visual of what is left (the number of play-dough pieces that aren't smashed). They record the entire subtraction number sentence on the recording sheet!
You can grab this up for free in my store!
Don't forget to check out our Teachers for Taytum Bundles... they are only available for a short time!!
Make sure you check out the other great subtraction ideas over at Teaching Momster!
Yes!! I am due for a possible induction in about two weeks. I spent some time over spring break preparing for my maternity sub. First, I purchased a one-inch binder. I created a cover that matches all of the items and labels that I will be using for my substitute.
Next, I created pages for each section of the binder. I put in the sections that I felt were most important. The pages are in plastic page protectors for durability.
Then, I made a template of basic lesson plans for each day. I created one page for each day of the week. The times and basic information for each subject is listed.
I decided I should create an updated student contact information book for the substitute teacher. This way, student information is easy accessible and accurate.
I put all of the material for each week into weekly tubs. This way, the substitute teacher can grab the tub and have all the material and resources for the week together.
Inside each tub, I attached matching labels with basic information. I use Kim Adsit's Reader's Workshop. I used plastic protectors to hold each week's information.
Hello Two Peas in a Pod's Daily Phonological Awareness is absolutely wonderful. I printed each lesson plan for the months of April and May. I put the plan in the picture book. Finally, I labeled with the Phonological Awareness label to the front of the book.
I also use Randi's Daily Sentence Editing books in my classroom. After printing each week, I added a label to explain how to use them daily.
Whew!! That is a lot of organizing and labeling. I am more at ease to go on maternity leave and am confident my students will continue with most of the classroom procedures and daily lessons that I have been using all year.

The European Parliament looks set to have the first far-right grouping within its corridors by mid-January, with MEPs from new member states Bulgaria and Romania helping to make the formation possible. From the EU Observer. Under EU rules, there need to be at least 19 MEPs from five different member states for a political group to be formed. The bloc's 1 January expansion means that the group-in-making is likely to get one MEP from Bulgaria's extreme Ataka party and five MEPs from Romania's nationalistic and anti-Roma Greater Romania Party. Attempts to form a far-right political party in the Brussels assembly have been on-going for years but have generally been hampered by divisions among the various national groups and the lack of a common political platform. But according to Austrian MEP Andreas Moelzer, who has been one of the main proponents of forming a European far-right movement, the group could be established on 15 January and is expected to be called "Identity, Sovereignty and Transparency (IST)." Mr Moelzer told Austrian news agency APA that the new group is expected to be headed by Bruno Gollnisch, a member of France's National Front. There are "still a few imponderables, but it is pretty much watertight," Mr Moelzer said of the 15 January plans. He said the group is likely to have at least 20 members and will have a "minimal consensus" programme being broadly against immigration, against Turkey's EU membership, against the EU constitution for its "tendencies...towards a central government." The loose programme marks the disharmony between the different national elements with one of their main motives for forming a group being to get more say in the European Parliament. "It is more a technical than a political group," Alessandra Mussolini, grand daughter of the facist Il Duce, told APA. "We are mainly getting together out of necessity. Survival is only possible in a political group," she added, referring to the fact that groups have a right to more funds and political positions in the European Parliament, something non-attached MEPs do not have. Should the far-right party get off the ground, it will bring together a disparate group of politicians. Mr Gollnisch is waiting for a court verdict on charges of questioning the Holocaust. Bulgarian would-be member Dimitar Stoyanov late last year circulated a derogatory email in the European Parliament about "Gypsies" after a Hungarian Roma MEP was nominated for MEP of the year, while the Greater Romanian MEPs come from a party whose leader, Cornelio Vadim Tudor, has drawn attention for his allegedly "racist" tones. Other MEPs that may join the group include two independent members, Italy's Luca Romagnoli and the UK's indep endent Ashley Mote, as well as MEPs from the Flemish Vlaams Belang.

At McDonald's outlets along I-95 in Virginia, yellow police-style tape cordons off self-serve beverage stations. And at Nationals Park, baseball fans use a QR code and digital menu rather than ordering directly from the person who hands them their hot dog.
None of these precautions provide meaningful protection against the spread of the coronavirus, safety experts say. Instead, they are examples of what critics call "hygiene theater," the deployment of symbolic tactics that do little to prevent the spread of the coronavirus but may make some anxious consumers feel safer. (The term is widely credited to Atlantic writer Derek Thompson, who catalogued ineffective but showy anti-covid tactics last summer.)
As the covid death rate plummets in America and the number of vaccinations soars, the persistence of these practices is seriously frustrating folks who argue that their vaccinated status should free them from such annoying restrictions.
"We really should be scaling back on these precautions, especially on the steroidally boosted cleaning of surfaces," said Lindsey Leininger, a Dartmouth College business professor who specializes in public health and runs a coronavirus information site called Dear Pandemic. "I look at all these unnecessary restrictions that degrade the customer experience and, as a vaccinated person, I'm like, 'Why?' "
Months after it became clear that surface contact is not a significant transmitter of the virus, Danny Pearlstein wonders why cleaning crews are still disinfecting New York City subway cars – and whether the transit system might provide better service if it weren't spending so much on scientifically invalid measures.
"They're power-washing the outside of cars as if New Yorkers were going around licking the exterior of subway cars," said Pearlstein, policy director of the Riders Alliance, which represents New York transit users. "It's hygiene theater, and it has no place in the public discussion about covid now."
"After all the disinformation of the Trump years, we really need our leaders to level with us," he said.
Many such precautions were first adopted early last year, when public health officials suspected the virus might linger on surfaces and spread via touch. But closer study determined that the risk of infection from doorknobs, buttons and the like was extremely low. In April, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that "contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection" — a smidgen higher than a person's lifetime chance of being struck by lightning.
Defenders of hygiene theater argue that some restrictions that seem nonsensical or outdated may nonetheless be useful in helping people dive back into society. Leininger said she isn't ready to "shame businesses for hygiene theater because I have so much empathy for employers. Sometimes the way we mitigate risk is through emotions."
After the 9/11 attacks, Americans became accustomed to seeing security measures that experts said could do little to deter terrorism but might make people feel safer. Two decades later, lobby attendants in many office buildings still insist on seeing an ID card, any ID card, before waving a visitor along. Airline passengers still approach security checks where bins overflow with confiscated toothpaste tubes and cosmetics containers.
Amid such enduring examples of what critics dubbed "security theater," many people wonder if scenes from hygiene theater also will become permanent fixtures of public life.
The danger of hanging on to lockdown-era practices is that "if you're spending X million dollars on cleaning, where's that coming from and what's not being done?" Leininger said. "We need to talk about how we're going to dial back from where we are."
'The scientists know more'
When indoor concerts resumed last month at Washington's Kennedy Center, patrons were greeted by an array of anti-covid precautions, including a temperature check, frequent reminders to remain masked at all times and announcements that there would be no printed program describing the evening's offerings.
Nearly 160 miles away at the American Shakespeare Center in Staunton, Va., shows have resumed with no more temperature probes, no more mid-show disinfectants, and tentative plans to revive printed programs and scrap mask mandates for the fall season.
"Romeo really can't kiss Juliet from six feet away," said Kelly Burdick, who helped develop the theater's covid guidelines. "There are protocols we had in place last spring that we wouldn't have today because the scientists know more about how the virus is transmitted."
The Staunton theater consulted with a local infectious-disease expert (who happened also to be a Shakespeare buff) and guided the theater away from some precautions that no longer made scientific sense. For example, Anthony Fauci, the top infectious-disease expert in the Biden and Trump administrations, has called temperature checks "notoriously inaccurate," and the National Restaurant Association recommends against their use.
Following the CDC's statement that surfaces are not a significant vector for the coronavirus, the theater is focusing on precautions that might ease customers' anxiety about being part of an audience.
Some patrons still want to wear masks for fear of bringing the virus home to their children, Burdick said, though science suggests that is a relatively small risk for those who have been vaccinated.
This fall, the theater is considering letting vaccinated patrons make their own choice about masks, which would allow food and beverage service to resume.
"We want to go with straight science, but we have to recognize that people are in different places," Burdick said.
Similarly, the Kennedy Center may resume printing programs sometime in the coming season and will return to accepting cash at concession stands, said Ellery Brown, the center's senior vice president for operations. "We want to acknowledge the traditionalists who want things the old way," he said.
For now, however, the Kennedy Center is sticking with temperature checks, Brown said, conceding that "some of it is psychology."
"If somebody's spent a lot of money for a ticket, this helps us notify people that we care about them."
Last year, worldwide sales of surface disinfectants soared by more than 30%. CDC official Vincent Hill now says the aggressive disinfecting that many businesses still conduct may produce a "false sense of security" and amount to hygiene theater.
CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said this spring that disinfection is only recommended in indoor settings such as schools and homes when "there has been a suspected or confirmed case of covid-19 within the last 24 hours."
Still, the connection between surfaces and infection lingers in the public consciousness and many public places continue to fuel that notion.
"Earlier in the pandemic, it was good to see barriers and aggressive cleaning," said Brad Engle, a corporate reputation consultant and Washington Nationals fan who, like many who visited Nationals Park, was stymied by the "touchless condiment" dispensers that showed up this season. "What they're doing now is making people feel less comfortable."
Some fanstook to Twitter to lament the loss of ketchup pumps and open bins of onions and relish at the condiment tables. Others welcomed the new machines, even if the globs they delivered at the wave of a hand sometimes slathered hot dogs with ruinous puddles rather than delicate drizzles of mustard.
"I'm glad we are at the point I can complain about something other than covid, but the @Nationals condiment situation is criminal," Engle wrote in a tweet. In an interview, he said the Nats created longer queues and tighter crowds of people by prohibiting cash transactions, requiring use of QR codes to order at some concession lines and adopting touchless technology that confused many customers.
"I understand that the Nationals needed to take precautions," said Frank Miller, a longtime season ticket holder, "but I feel they missed the mark."
Miller said the team's no-bags policy had no apparent connection to covid safety, the touchless dispensers created "a lot of confusion," and the no-cash concessions "created more big gatherings" of fans.
Nats spokeswoman Jennifer Mastin Giglio said some safety rules will change midseason. The team now allows vaccinated fans to go maskless. Last week, the Nats lifted the ban on small bags and, after The Washington Post passed along fans' complaints about touchless condiment dispensers, got rid of those machines.
"Guidance shifts and changes pretty regularly as [health officials] learn more and more," Giglio said. "As a result, we have shifted, too."
"It can be tough to communicate broad, sweeping changes mid-homestand – tough on staff who have to implement the changes and enforce them, and tough on our fans who need to know what to expect when they arrive," she said.
Americans craving clear, consistent rules are in for some disappointment in the coming months. Businesses are adding, subtracting and altering restrictions in every direction.
Southwest Airlines announced it would resume serving alcoholic drinks on some flights, then scrapped that plan – a response to widespread reports of unruly passenger behavior across the industry. Major hotel chains say they're sticking with check-ins via smartphone and enhanced cleaning regimens. But perhaps tellingly, they say their policies are evolving according to the science – and customer feedback.
Touchless check-in screens have been added at many airports, but confusion over how to scan QR codes and use finger-hovering screens to check in or get baggage tags has resulted in more crowding – the opposite of the social distancing that the new technologies were meant to enhance.
Many covid-related restrictions were intended from the start not just to inhibit spread of the virus, but to ease consumers' anxieties and to save money, especially in industries where revenue was crushed by the pandemic.
When New York City shut down its famously 24/7 subways during the small hours of the night, the announced reason was to let crews conduct rigorous cleaning of all surfaces. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D, called the move vital to protecting the safety of passengers and workers.
'Traditional cleaning methods'
But when round-the-clock service resumed last month, the transit authority said it had figured out how to keep the deep cleaning regimen going even as the trains rolled.
Many transit systems, such as San Francisco's Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), are keeping or even adding cleaning workers to telegraph to riders that it's safe to come back. BART spent a year using hospital-grade disinfectant in stations and spraying disinfectant mist onto its train cars.
Last month, the system announced it would return to "traditional cleaning methods," dropping the daily fogging because "covid-19 is primarily transmitted through the air" – yet BART said it was nonetheless hiring dozens more cleaners.
Restaurants are picking and choosing from a vast menu of covid caution procedures. In many eateries, food menus that went all-digital early in the pandemic have stayed that way, despite guidance from the National Restaurant Association that because infection from surfaces is unlikely, "restaurants can consider going back to regular print menus, table condiments, etc."
"We think we're on the other side of covid," said the association's senior vice president for science and industry, Larry Lynch. He never liked temperature checks ("It was confrontational and it wasn't always accurate"), is happy to see the return of paper menus and regular tableware, and is ready for buffets to reopen, though some are shifting toward cafeteria-style service rather than letting diners dig into food trays themselves.
"Everything restaurants were doing was so customers could see they were doing everything they could," Lynch said. "The message was, 'Hey, we care about you.' It's not about theater but about wanting customers to feel comfortable about going out. Going forward, it won't have to be as showy."
As customers get more comfortable, plexiglass barriers will come down and so will servers' masks. "People want to see servers' faces," Lynch said.

One last post before the new year.
I give you the brony pony hat.
Finished hat is about 24 inches around.
Lay hat flat and mark front center with a scrap piece of yarn.
Count out 13 stitches each way and mark with scrap yarn.
Count 15 more stitches each way and mark again.
Join main color yarn and sc 15 (from one marker to the other).
Break yarn and repeat process on other side.
If done right this will give you 2 ear flaps set slightly back from the front of the hat.
Don't worry if you have to redo one, I ended up redoing the second one twice.
With contrasting color join at back of hat and sc around bottom edge.
Fold ears in half and sew along bottom of ear. Pull slightly on the stitches to gather ear and give it shape. Weave in ends.
Wrap contrast color around a paperback book.
Gently slip off and trim each end.
Gather a group of 5 pieces of yarn and slip knot (like fringe) them around double crochets up the back of the hat. Work one group into the the first round of the hat then 4 down the front.
Place your hat on a wig head and sew on ears.
Cut 32 long strands of yarn and thread them through the bottoms of the ear flaps.


Deadly Women is an American true-life crime documentary-style television series produced by Beyond International Group and airing on the Investigation Discovery (ID) network.
The series focuses on murders committed by women. It is hosted by former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal profiler Candice DeLong and narrated by Lynnanne Zager.
Deadly Women originally aired in 2005 as a three-part miniseries under the subtitles: "Obsession", "Greed", and "Revenge". It was revived as a regularly scheduled series and began airing on December 24, 2008. Two major changes were made: Lynnanne Zager replaced original narrator Marsha Crenshaw, and the number of cases in each episode was reduced from four to three.
To date, 168 episodes have aired. Dubbed versions are also produced. A Spanish language version airs on Discovery en Español under the title Las Verdaderas Mujeres Asesinas (True Killer Women); an Italian language language version airs on Real Time Italy under the title Donne mortali (a literal translation of the English title).
Each episode has a unifying theme such as jealousy, financial gain, mental illness, or crimes committed by teenagers or the elderly. The titles of the episodes reflect the theme. The stories are told through re-enactments and interviews.
Episodes also feature contributors in relevant fields (e.g. law enforcement, the law, the media, forensic medicine and medicine). Diane Fanning, M. William Phelps, Gregg Olsen, Wensley Clarkson, and Dr. Janis Amatuzio have made multiple appearances. Occasionally, family or friends of the subject or their victims appear to add context and or perspective.
At the end of each segment, the actress playing the subject (and her male and female conspirators, if any) break the fourth wall and look directly at the camera as their fates are revealed. In later seasons, photos of the actual subject are shown.

A blog site, generated by [modular](https://github.com/juxt/modular).

## Requirements

This site uses a Less compiler in JavaScript that requires Nashorn, so it's only possible to use if you've got JDK 8 or later.

## Usage

To run the blog-site, install [Leiningen](http://leiningen.org/) and type

```
lein run
```

## Development

For rapid development, use the REPL from the command line or via your
favorite code editor.

```
lein repl
user> (dev)
dev> (go)
```

After making code changes, reset your application's state (causing all
your modifications to be reloaded too).

```
dev> (reset)
```

Rinse and repeat.

## Understanding how routes are matched

Unless you change it, the blog index is at `/myblog/index.html`.

You can test what it matches to from the REPL like this:

```
dev> (pprint (match-route "/myblog/index.html"))
{:handler ...
 :id :clean-blog-example.pages/index}
```

Here we see the `id` of the Ring handler. It is defined in [{{name}}/pages](src/{{sanitized}}/pages.clj).

Near the bottom of this namespace is a record named `Pages`. It satisfies bidi's `RouteProvider` protocol and returns a route structure. The leaves of this route structure and wrapped in bidi's `handler` wrapper, allowing the handlers to be associated with keywords.

You can also find out where these handlers are accessible from the REPL.

```
dev> (path-for :clean-blog-example.pages/index)
"/myblog/index.html"
```

There is a special keywords such as `:web-resources`,
`:bootstrap-resources` and `:jquery-resources` that are relate to
collections of static resources. The first corresponds to resources
under `resources/public`, the others extract resources from
[webjars](http://www.webjars.org/) that the project depends on.

```
dev> (path-for :web-resources)
"/static"
dev> (path-for :bootstrap-resources)
"/bootstrap"
dev> (path-for :jquery-resources)
"/jquery"
```

## Generating a static site

You can generate this site to a set of static files with

```
lein gen
```

You can then deploy these files to your website. Note, it's [possible to use github to serve static files](https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/) too.

U.S. WOMEN'S AMATEUR PUBLIC LINKS
Grantham, McCloskey, Mueller, Tubert Reach Semifinals June 24, 2010 By Rhonda Glenn, USGA
Lisa McCloskey, a quarterfinalist and medalist in the 2008 U.S. Girls' Junior, reached her first USGA semifinal on Friday with a 1-up win over Brianna Do in the WAPL quarterfinals at the Warren Golf Course. (Robert Walker/USGA)
Notre Dame, Ind. – If the semifinalists in the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship seem a little wide-eyed, it's because three of them are virtually unknown beyond their hometowns.
Sara Grantham of Wilsonville, Ala.; Emily Tubert of Burbank, Calif.; Ellen Mueller of Bartlesville, Okla.; and Lisa McCloskey of Houston outlasted more celebrated opponents to win tight quarterfinal matches on Friday at the 6,092-yard, par 71 Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame.
Grantham eliminated the last USA Curtis Cup player in the field, Cydney Clanton of Concord, N.C., 1 up. Tubert, who remarkably has been playing golf for only five years, defeated Victoria Sungmin Park of Irvine, Calif., on the 19th hole.
Mueller ousted the championship's second seed, Martina Gavier of Argentina, 2 and 1, and McCloskey stopped Brianna Do of Vietnam, 1 up.
Tubert and Park generated fireworks on the back nine. Beginning at the 13th hole, they made five birdies. Park took a 1-up lead with a birdie at the 15th and both players birdied the par-5 17th hole. Tubert's par on the 18th hole squared the match. On the par-4 first hole, the 19th of the match, Tubert's second shot found the green while Park's approach missed. When Park couldn't get her ball up and down and bogeyed, Tubert two-putted for a par to win.
The victory amazed Tubert. I can't believe I won, Tubert said. This is only my second national championship. I played in the U.S. Girls' Junior four years ago and I'd only been playing a year. Just to be there was so overwhelming. I played with (eventual runner-up) Vicky Hurst and almost killed her when I shanked a shot on the 10th hole.
Tubert turned 18 last month and will be a freshman at the University of Arkansas this fall. She graduated from John Burroughs High School, where she was prom queen and quarterbacked the powder-puff football team. I threw for two touchdowns and beat our crosstown rival, she said.
Now she's in a national semifinal and faces the scrappy Grantham this afternoon. Grantham, 21, who says she's, five feet tall, on a good day, pulled off an upset when she ousted Curtis Cup player Clanton, who towered over her by nearly a foot.
Clanton's normally consistent long game let her down. With the match all square at the par-4 16th, Clanton pulled her tee shot into the left rough and hit a tree with her approach. Grantham was safely on in two strokes and went 1 up with a par.
Grantham more or less handed Clanton the 17th hole, tied up with a bow. From some 90 yards, she hit her approach 15 yards over the green into foot-high fescue, then skulled her chip shot over the green and down the fairway. Clanton conceded a six, then safely two-putted for a par that squared the match.
At the par-4 18th, Clanton teed off with a long iron but even that conservative shot found the rough. She missed the green with her approach and bogeyed, losing the hole and the match to Grantham's routine par.
I just didn't do what I needed to do and I didn't make the putts, Clanton said after the match.
Mueller's 2-and-1 victory over the well-traveled Gavier was also an upset. In stroke-play qualifying Gavier was 5-under par and seeded second for match play, nine strokes better than Mueller. But in this morning's match play, Mueller prevailed. With the match all square, Mueller won the 15th with a par and holed a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-5 17th to win, 2 and 1.
I'm just taking it one match at a time, Mueller said. At this level, bogeys lose and birdies win.
Gavier was philosophical about her loss. I started missing greens, didn't get it up and down, and she took advantage of that.
Mueller, an incoming senior at the University of Oklahoma, was a quarterfinalist at the 2006 U.S. Girls' Junior, while Gavier has twice represented Argentina in the Women's World Amateur Team Championship.
McCloskey, 18, defeated Do, 20, a second team All Pac-10 player at UCLA, 1 up. McCloskey took a 1-up lead with a birdie at the 16th, and then blew the lead with a bogey at the 17th. She won the match with a birdie-3 at the 343-yard 18th.
Of the four semifinalists, McCloskey has the most national stature. She reached the quarterfinals of the 2008 U.S. Girls' Junior and was medalist, shooting 63 in one of her stroke-play qualifying rounds. Most of McCloskey's success was on the American Junior Golf Association tour, where she won four tournaments.
With McCloskey facing Mueller and Grantham playing Tubert in the semifinals, two things are guaranteed: two women will play in a national final for the first time, and one of them will win her first national championship.


In addition to instructing them in the holy Scriptures, they also taught their pupils poetry, astronomy, and the calculation of the church calendar.
Referring to the teaching methods of Theodore, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Hadrian, abbot of Canterbury (A.D. 669).
In my understanding of God I start with certain firm beliefs. One is that the laws of nature are not broken. We do not, of course, know all these laws yet, but I believe that such laws exist. I do not, therefore, believe in the literal truth of some miracles which are featured in the Christian Scriptures, such as the Virgin Birth or water into wine. ... God works, I believe, within natural laws, and, according to natural laws, these things happen.

It is admitted, on all hands, that the Scriptures are not intended to resolve physical questions, or to explain matters in no way related to the morality of human actions; and if, in consequence of this principle, a considerable latitude of interpretation were not allowed, we should continue at this moment to believe, that the earth is flat; that the sun moves round the earth; and that the circumference of a circle is no more than three times its diameter.

Satan delights equally in statistics and in quoting scripture.

The Jewish scriptures admirably illustrate the development from the religion of fear to moral religion, a development continued in the New Testament. The religions of all civilized peoples, especially the peoples of the Orient, are primarily moral religions. The development from a religion of fear to moral religion is a great step in peoples' lives. And yet, that primitive religions are based entirely on fear and the religions of civilized peoples purely on morality is a prejudice against which we must be on our guard. The truth is that all religions are a varying blend of both types, with this differentiation: that on the higher levels of social life the religion of morality predominates.
We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita: Vishnu is trying to pursue the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that one way or another. There was a great deal of solemn talk that this was the end of the great wars of the century.
