Ready or not, government will soon have your My Number
A screenshot from the Cabinet Office website shows actress Aya Ueto and a new mascot dubbed Maina-chan promoting the impending launch of the My Number ID card, which the government insists will make people's lives more convenient.
by Tomohiro Osaki
With upbeat music flowing in the background, popular actress Aya Ueto enthuses about a controversial government project in a state-sponsored TV commercial.
"My Number is your own number that makes your life a whole lot more convenient," she says with a telegenic smile while sitting next to a rabbitlike character dubbed "Maina-chan" — the latest in an interminable line of Japanese mascots created to promote a commercial or public cause.
Starting in mid-October, the government will send all residents in Japan, native or foreign, a randomly generated 12-digit identification number that will in principle remain unchangeable in their lifetime. The program will officially commence in January, when people will be asked by employers and city officials to present their My Number ID when conducting administrative matters related to taxes and social welfare benefits.
The government claims the unprecedented identification system, similar to the Social Security number used in the United States, will help reduce red tape and paperwork.
But Hiromichi Morita, a planning officer in the Cabinet Secretariat, which oversees the project, said there's another motive at work.
"With the My Number system, we aim to create a much fairer society, where the government can ascertain people's income more accurately, leaving no room for wrongdoing such as tax evasion and illicit receipt of social benefits. That's our ultimate goal," Morita said.
With distribution of the numbers only weeks away, however, public awareness of the system and its implications appears inadequate.
Critics also warn that privacy breaches are highly probable and that the system, once in full swing, will probably give authorities leeway to keep tabs on the most sensitive details of anyone's life. The push to make more active use of My Number in the future, they say, points to an "undemocratic" shift to a surveillance society.
The government will send out My Number notices to all citizens in accordance with the address on their residence certificates. Those without certificates will not get a number,  meaning they will have to go fill out the traditional paperwork for administrative matters after the system kicks off.
The notices for My Number will also include an application form for what the government terms an "Individual Number Card (My Number card)" — an IC-equipped card that, from January on, could work in lieu of driver's licenses, passports and other forms of identification.
Obtaining the My Number card is not mandatory, but to maximize its prevalence the government wants it to function as a health insurance card, credit/cash card and employee ID card at private companies in the coming years.
In one potential scenario, the Finance Ministry is thinking of launching a tax refund program to ease the impact of the scheduled consumption tax hike to 10 percent from 8 percent in April 2017. As part of the plan, the ministry would require consumers to present the My Number card wherever they shop to claim the refund on the 2-point hike for food and drink.
The government will also launch the Internet site Maina Portal in January 2017 so individuals can check all records of personal information exchanges made by municipalities and other entities via their My Number. The site will initially only be in Japanese, Morita said.
My Number will be needed to file tax returns or apply for social welfare benefits, including child allowances and pensions at municipal offices. As well as employers and city officials, staff at pension and tax offices, Hello Work job-placement agencies, and financial institutions will be authorized to ask for one's My Number.
Pollsters and clerks at video rental shops, for example, won't be allowed such access, Morita said.
Unlike the U.S. system, face-to-face identity confirmation will be necessary when conveying one's My Number to a third party.
"In other words, you can pretty much assume something fishy is going on if a stranger asks about your number, for example, on the phone or without even confirming who you are," Morita said.
To avert a public backlash, the government initially plans to limit the use of My Number to areas pertaining to tax, social security and disaster relief benefits. But use of the system will inevitably expand.
Earlier this month, the Diet passed a bill to revise the My Number system law so the ID numbers can be linked to bank accounts on a voluntary basis starting in 2018. This will make it significantly easier to monitor financial assets, and the government hopes to make the link mandatory from 2021.
A state-drafted blueprint for the expansion of My Number also shows it may be linked to koseki (family registers) and passports in coming years.
With the vast use of ID numbers in the works, concerns are rife about the potential for information leaks.
The government, which has its hands full with cyberattacks, is downplaying these fears, saying that the mandatory face-to-face ID checks will thwart impostors. It also emphasizes that, under the My Number system, the state will not centralize, but divide, the management of one's personal information.
Only a limited number of officials and staffers in each entity are authorized to access private information via My Number, which will be encrypted as it travels online from one user to another. The government will also set up a special committee tasked with monitoring a network in which information exchanges are made and, if necessary, conduct on-site inspections at municipalities. Criminal penalties for violators of personal information protection laws will be stiffened as well.
Tokyo-based lawyer Seiji Mizunaga, however, warned that privacy breaches are inevitable.
While acknowledging that My Number has better countermeasures in place against impostors and hackers than Social Security does, he emphasized that the risk "can't be zero."
"The government rules out the possibility of impostors because of the ID check process," Mizunaga said. "But forging or illegally obtaining drivers' licenses and passports is nothing unusual in today's world. There is no guarantee that the same won't happen to My Number cards."
Another big concern in Japan, he said, is abuse of authority — namely the police.
A law grants the police free rein to use My Number to access and collect whatever private information they need for "investigative purposes," he said. What's worse, police can do so unsupervised by the monitoring committee. The impunity suggests police activities are virtually "untouchable," he said, adding that the day may be approaching when police ask pedestrians to present their My Number cards during routine stops.
"In asking municipalities or other entities about a particular individual they want information on, police have traditionally depended on four key factors — name, address, birthdate and gender — to identify that person. But sometimes they've had a hard time collecting information if people change their name or relocate," Mizunaga said.
"In this regard, for the police, My Number will be like a master key through which they can identify their target with unprecedented speed and ease."
Low public awareness
Mizunaga also pointed out that public awareness of the system remains far from sufficient.
In a survey this summer by the Cabinet Office of 1,773 individuals nationwide, 43.5 percent said they know what My Number is about, compared with 28.3 percent in January.
Despite the improved recognition, the lawyer said confusion will be guaranteed once the notification letters are sent in October, with swindlers likely to go on a calling spree to steal My Number details from the public.
It wasn't until early August that the government announced that people who don't live at their registered addresses — such as those fleeing domestic abuse or natural disasters — can ask municipalities beforehand to send the My Number notifications to their current locations. The deadline is Sept. 25.
"The announcement came out on incredibly short notice and there is just too little time left until the deadline," Mizunaga said.
Although each My Number is supposed to be unchangeable, people can apply for a different number if their lives become endangered by it, Morita from the Cabinet Secretariat said.
The Cabinet Secretariat offers information in English about the My Number system on its website www.cas.go.jp/jp/seisaku/bangoseido/english.html
But the Japanese-only aspect of the Maina Portal represents "fundamental shortcomings of the system" and suggests the government has little regard for foreign residents' human rights, said Akira Hatate, a board member of the Japan Civil Liberties Union.
Undemocratic shift
Theoretically speaking, the My Number program should be welcome if Japan is aiming to become a welfare state, since such a system allows the government to better grasp the income situation of the public so wealth is redistributed more fairly, said Tsuyoshi Inaba, co-founder of independent homeless support agency Moyai.
But Inaba said this won't be possible under the conservative administration of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose underlying stance is to leave the poor in a lurch under the pretext of "self-responsibility" — a concept in which the have-nots are encouraged to make ends meet by themselves or with the help of relatives.
Given the Abe administration's apparent eagerness to cut back on social security costs, as evidenced by its mammoth curtailment of monthly seikatsu hogo (welfare benefits) last year, My Number may be abused in a way that allows the government to ratchet up surveillance on poor people's income so it can crack down harder on them, he said.
Takashi Shiraishi, a representative of a citizens' group calling for abolition of the My Number program, said the system is an eerie harbinger of the ongoing transformation to a surveillance society.
"The system is going to grant more power to the state and it's perhaps something a communist state has a better affinity with," Shiraishi said.
"Despite its supposed status as a liberal country, Japan is morphing into something of an authoritarian state."

The village of Parkhomivka in Krasnokutsk District became known in the 1950s when the USSR's first rural historical and arts museum was opened here. The basis of the exposition is formed by the collection gathered by a school teacher A. Lunev and includes works of arts, books and graphics. For a long time only the high school students who were members of the Rainbow Club were guides there. Together with their teacher, they organised travelling exhibitions in schools, clubs, palaces for culture, read lectures on artists' life and creative work. In 1986 a rural museum in Parkhomivka received the status of a state cultural and educational establishment, now being a subsidiary of Kharkiv Fine Arts Museum.
The rural Hermitage, as Parkhomivka Historical and Arts Museum is often called, has paintings by Roerich, Vrubel, Van Dijk, Benois, Levitan and Malevich. The pearl of the collection is Picasso's Dove of Peace.

In Windows 10 you're at the mercy of Microsoft's schedule unless you know hidden settings and tweaks. So, keep Windows Update under control. High CPU usage can be hard to track down. While the problems listed here are among the most common causes, you may find that CPU usage is still an issue even after your try everything suggested above. Please share in the comments! Your email address will not be published. I've seen this problem consistently for a number of years and it has been consistent with both Windows 7 and Windows The conclusion I was able to come to was that reinstalling the OS solved the problem, until I had installed a number of the windows updates and then the problem returned.
This was so even when running a very minimum setup. I have tried countless suggestions that have made no difference. I have just stopped the process WmiPrvSE. Now when I click on something I get a result in a halfway reasonable timeframe. It's by no means fixed the problem, but it has certainly shown the cause of the problem is in the guts of Windows itself, not something peripheral like a program installed background service or disk access issues. Unfortunately the bloody thing turns itself back on again and performance goes back down the gurgler until I go and turn it back off again.
The CPU central processing unit is the brain of the computer. Just like you, a CPU has to think about a lot of different things at once.
It is constantly working. Yet, there is a limit to the amount of work a given processor can do at one time. After stacking the workload so high, the processor becomes maxed out — every running process each consuming processing power and memory available to the operating system.
Soon, the computer becomes slow and, in many cases, becomes unresponsive. I have looked into hundreds of websites and forums to find some way to solve this problem on my laptop. And most of what I did find was just vague opening your laptop and what not.
I even went as far as to contact the HP Support Service, which I can only describe as being plain useless. I restarted Windows Management Instrumentation as mentioned here.
It's working much like it used to previously. I have had such a frustrating time with my acer aspire V5. I have over the past 2 days done everything that I have read in the forums to get my cpu down from Then decided to get rid of some unwanted apps. I removed a game app that came with It was very very busy. By this time i am thinking if it doesn't work I throw it in the trash.

If you are on Laptop take out the battery and the AC cord. Then press and hold the power button for seconds Even when there is no battery or cord, this removes all the static electricity inside the computer And then leave your computer for an hour.
Log In and check the CPU. It should be better. I also tried running the microsoft download but it wouldn't let me run it because I didn't have enough storage which is strange because I checked and I had plenty of storage. I think this started about 2 weeks ago when I noticed lag and crackling on Spotify. I do have a older computer years old but I don't believe it's age is the reason why the CPU is spiking all of a sudden. NOONE has ever been able to help me with this Thank you very much for all the information you provided here!!
And solved my problem. Well, thanks to you i now know it was the WmiPrvSE. I deleted CIS and my problem instantly evaporated. It'll show high usage processes, if you can tolerate the cluttered interface.

I use an old Toshiba Satellite, and this model is known to grab dust and overheat. U cannot fix high CPU usage unless you disable extensions which means that you become vulnerable again for the viruses. The obvious answer is to get rid of Google. Somehow I don't think you are willing do that. In Task Manager check what services and tasks that are running are associated with Google. Kill the ones you do not need, or the ones that you consider least necessary. I assume you do not have hundreds of Chrome extensions active and are using all of Google bells and whistles as that WILL slow down your computer.
If you are referring to the picture of a man on the phone, you are lucky that you don't understand it. A common malware technique is for someone to telephone you, claim to be from Microsoft, and tell you that they have detected a virus on your PC.
They try to get you to download a "repair" for your malware--but of course they are trying to install malware on your PC. No one should ever be so naive as to fall for this and similar tricks. Microsoft never calls people like that. The person almost always has an African accent, and Nigeria seems to be the home turf of most of these scams. I always try to sell stuff back to them. Then I take an airhorn to the phone just for good measure. I am using Pentium4 processor. I don't know what is the problem.
A few months ago this was not the problem with chrome. I don't even use much extensions. Can you help in this case? In the past few months, Google probably released a "new and improved" version of Chrome.

The West attempted to stage at least 6 colour revolutions in Belarus
As part of the civilizational struggle the West with the US playing a primary role,attempted to stage at least 6 colour revolutions in Belarus. They took place in 1996, 1999, 2001, 2006, 2010 and 2011.
No evidence presented to prove the multiple 'colour revolution' inspired by foreign entities in Belarus.

The Mueller report is another proof of how Russia is always falsely accused
The final report by special counsel Robert Mueller cleared both Trump's campaign team of collusion with the Kremlin and the president himself of obstruction of justice. It doesn't provide evidence of Russian interference in the US elections in 2016. This proves how Russia is part of a campaign whereby it is always falsely accused of incidents, such as the poisoning of the Skripals, attempting to hack the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, interfering in the European elections or even Brexit.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Muller report.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's report affirms that "the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities". Nevertheless it states that interference activities took place, as already concluded earlier by US intelligence community and by Mueller's own inquiry: "the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts". This was highlighted by several US media.
French media are not free
Russia bashing takes place in the French press. It has evolved a lot since the 70s and 80s when France's media was pluralistic and discussions between different political figures took place. This is not the case nowadays. Take a random newspaper. Le Monde, for example: It is the Pravda of today. Its coverage of Russia is even worse than Pravda. Every media outlet reports the same. The question is, how has France reached this point?
In Russia, freedom of speech exists but in our own way.
In France, you can only say one thing about Russia, like aggression and that Putin is a dictator. This is freedom to say only one narrative. Let's take coverage of Ukraine in France. It's almost like one centre exists which indicates what to write: a democratic country is struggling against Russian aggression. Only a few media outlets mention that there are far right, Nazi forces in Ukraine which march like the Nazis in Germany in the 30s.
No evidence given.
According to Reporters without borders, France ranks 32nd for freedom of speech among 180 countries, the same as for 2019. Russia is at 149, behind, for example, the United Arab Emirates. Its ranking means that the Russian press is not free "in its own way" as specified.
Facebook is a project of the Soros Foundation, financed by National Security Agency
Facebook is a project of the Soros Foundation, which is financed by the National Security Agency. Hence, Facebook's global objective is to collect personal data for the purpose of the American security service.
Recurring pro-Kremlin conspiracy about the US and social media. The claims are ungrounded. After the leaks by NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA collected data from Facebook users, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckeberg expressed his disapproval of the NSA's actions and said that he had spoken to then president Barack Obama by phone to "express [his] frustration over the damage the government is creating for all of our futures."

Two ways to write a set
Definition What is a set. The number of different elements in a set is called the Cardinal Number of the set. Elements in a set are defined as a function of one or more variables in a given domain that meets a condition. This excerpt comes from Between the Lines by Jessica Morrell, from which you can learn more about the craft of writing.
Consider too the influences of mankind using the land, and the effects of mines, deforestation, agriculture, irrigation, vineyards, cattle grazing, and coffee plantations. An empty set or null set or void set has no elements.
Well, that part comes next. Going back to our definition of subsets, if every element in the empty set is also in A, then the empty set is a subset of A. After an hour of thinking of different things, I'm still not sure. But sometimes the " It's a set that contains everything.
Due to the nature of the mathematics on this site it is best views in landscape mode. The empty set is a subset of every set, including the empty set itself. Two sets are equivalent if they contain the same number of elements.
And 3, And 4. A set is a subset of another set when all the elements in the first set are also a member of the second set. Courtney Carpenter May 2, No matter if you are just getting started or want to break into fiction writing, setting is a crucial element to any story.
Darling explains that the empty set is not nothing, but rather "the set of all triangles with four sides, the set of all numbers that are bigger than nine but smaller than eight, and the set of all opening moves in chess that involve a king.
Forget everything you know about numbers. The cardinality of the empty set is zero.
Two sets are called equal written as A B if they have the same elements. The complement of a set is the set containing all elements of the universe which are not elements of the original set. B is the set of colors of the French flag.

The sum of the cardinalities of the intersection and union of two sets is equal to the sum of the cardinalities of the two sets. The power set contains S itself and the empty set because these are both subsets of S.
The empty set is a subset of every set and every set is a subset of itself: It is written as U. A finite set has finite, countable number of elements. A written description 2. But setting is more than a mere backdrop for action; it is an interactive aspect of your fictional world that saturates the story with mood, meaning, and thematic connotations.
Harsh climates can make for grim lives, while tropical climates can create more carefree lifestyles. So doesn't that mean that A is a subset of A?. The empty set can be turned into a topological space, called the empty space, in just one way: by defining the empty set to be open. However, the axiom of empty set can be shown redundant in either of two ways: There is already an axiom implying the existence of at least one set.
May 10, · The two main methods for describing a set are roster and rule (or set-builder). A roster is a list of the elements in a set.
When the set doesn't include. There are two ways of describing, or specifying the members of, a set. One way is by intensional definition, using a rule or semantic description: Equivalently, we can write B ⊇ A, read as B is a superset of A, B includes A, or B contains A.
In instructions, these typically are listed either in a simple vertical list or in a two-column list. Use the two-column list if you need to add some specifications to some or all of the items—for example, brand names, sizes, amounts, types, model numbers, and so on.
Vector notation is a commonly used mathematical notation for working with mathematical vectors, which may Polar vectors can be specified using either ordered pair notation (a subset of ordered set notation using only two components) or matrix notation, as with rectangular vectors.
When talking about sets, it is fairly standard to use Capital Letters to represent the set, and lowercase letters to represent an element in that set. So for example, A is a set, and a is an element in A. Same with B and b, and C and c.

Couple gets married on Valentine's Day [PHOTOS]
monjola sotubo
The duo tied the knot in Ghana on February 14, 2015, in an exclusive ceremony which was attended by close friends and family members.
Chris Attoh and Damilola Adegbite are finally married, and on Valentine's Day too!
Chris and Dami were earlier rumoured to have had a secret wedding after the Ghanaian actor changed his relationship status on Facebook to "married."
However, the couple debunked the rumours through their representatives who said:
"The couple [Chris and Dami] cannot hold a secret wedding. They will have an open wedding where friends and family would be invited to come and celebrate with them. They are still going to exchange vows, the traditional way."
The uber-private wedding was attended by Ghanaian actor, Majid Michel, Ovation Magazine publisher, Dele Momodu and other guests.
Chris and Dami got engaged in 2014 and welcomed their son, Brian on September 5 of the same year.
Congratulations to the couple!

Minnesota Per Diem Rates
Minneapolis / St. Paul Per Diem Rate
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota Per Diem Rates for FY 2016
Print FY 2016 MN Per-Diem Table
Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota:
Hennepin / Ramsey County
Minneapolis / St. Paul has a fixed per-diem rate set by the General Services Administration (GSA), which is used to reimburse overnight travel expenses within the area for Federal employees as well as employees of private companies which also use the GSA's per diem rates.
The lodging per-diem rate of $140.00 is intended to cover the costs of one night's lodging at a hotel in Minneapolis and St. Paul, based on the average daily rate in the local lodging industry. Many hotels and motels offer business travellers rooms at exactly the local per-diem rate.
The meals & incidentals rate (M&IE rate) of $64.00 is intended to cover the costs of a single days' worth of meals and incidental costs (such as tips and parking) based on the average cost for these expenses in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. If you spend less than the $64.00 per diem, you can generally keep the remainder.
Book a hotel in Minneapolis / St. Paul
The per diem rates in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area are fixed on a yearly basis, due to relatively static seasonal food and lodging rates.
Other Per-Diem Areas in Minnesota
There are a total of four areas in Minnesota for which location specific per-diem rates is set by the GSA. For travel to areas within Minnesota for which there are not specified per diem rates, general per diem rates are used.

Two cloud computing certification programs recently announced by 3Tera Inc. may signify the beginning of a cloud computing certification trend.
The new Certified Cloud Operator and Certified Cloud Architect certifications are tailored to 3Tera's AppLogic cloud computing platform.
The three-day programs consist of instructor-led classes with hands-on labs that typically take place in rented hotel suites or meeting rooms for eight hours each day. Each program costs US$2,000 to enrol.
Classes are kept fairly small with 20 to 25 students and three instructors, said Bert Armijo, senior vice-president of marketing and product management at 3Tera.
The programs are intended to "take general IT professionals and give them the confidence in themselves and in the system to start moving traditional IT workloads into the clouds," he said.
Many of the concepts taught in the programs will be similar to other clouds, but the specifics focus on 3Tera's AppLogic cloud computing platform for service providers and enterprises, he pointed out.
This includes giving the "next generation of cloud users an understanding of exactly how the technology functions, what it can and can't do and how to maintain control of their applications no matter which of our service providers they are using," said Armijo.
3Tera launched AppLogic in 2006. There are now roughly 40 service providers worldwide and a few thousand end users on the AppLogic system, said Armijo. The company is now moving to the part of the market where people expect to get training, he said.
"We've had demand both from the service providers, who are trying to get their products to market quickly, and also from end users, who are trying to bring up their applications that want to make sure they are in fact following best practices," he said.
Cloud computing certifications are very new, according to Igor Abramovitch, director of technology services for Robert Half Technology, owned by Robert Half International Inc.
"As more and more vendors move to cloud computing products or SaaS products or platform-as-a-service, there will be more certifications coming out," he said.
Tier 1 hardware and software vendors with SaaS versions of their products likely include cloud computing training in their existing certification programs, he noted.
"They may not specifically have cloud computing in the name of the certification, but if they do offer those products, then I'm sure that their current certifications actually include that in the material," he said.
Vendors "don't specifically say that yet, but they will. It's just that 3Tera beat them to the punch," said Abramovitch.
IT workers seeking cloud certification must decide which cloud computing product they want to tie themselves to and "make sure that whatever they are choosing is in demand at the companies they are targeting," he advised.
"I don't think that someone could be certified specifically in cloud computing. It typically has to be tied to a particular software or particular hardware that the cloud is running on," said Abramovitch.
Because cloud certifications are so new, experience is currently more valuable, according to Abramovitch.
"If the person has the experience setting up a cloud or setting up software-as-a-service for a company or a vendor, that would count much more for hiring managers than a brand-new certification," he said.
Cloud certifications will become a trend, but it will be "one that is slow to develop," according to Kevin Brice, president and general manager of MeasureUp LLC and sister company MSEmploy North America.
"I think the business has to get there first before the requirements for the certification are there," he said.
Brice hasn't noticed companies requiring individuals with cloud computing certification and believes certifications already available today can lend themselves to companies using SaaS models.
Barry Lynn, chairman and CEO of 3Tera, sees the certifications as a testimony to the company's success in the cloud computing space.
"You can't really have a certification program unless there is a critical mass of people using it who want to be certified and those skills become transferable because of that critical mass," said Lynn.
Three courses, two in the U.S. and one in Europe, are scheduled for 2010. 3Tera can also arrange on-premise courses for large enterprises.
There are no courses scheduled within Canada, but 3Tera can add one if the demand is there, said Essy Nickolova, vice-president of marketing communications at 3Tera.
Additional certifications are in the works. 3Tera is planning to offer at least two or three more certification programs, according to Armijo, and one will specifically target ISVs and appliance vendors.
There are no background requirements, but students need to be proficient Linux system administrators familiar with all the standard Linux tools and have a basic understanding of PCP/IP networking, switches and router configuration and firewall configuration, said Armijo. "It also helps if they are fairly proficient in Windows, although that isn't an absolute requirement," he said.
Suggested background requirements include being adept at understanding common application architectures such as SOA, LAMP and .NET, familiarity with basic business continuity and security concepts, proficient in Linux and Windows at a deployment and software architecture level, said Armijo.

Q: Find the roots of $z^6 + 3z^3 + 4 = 0$ Hello I have some issues solving:
Find all $z \in C$
$z^6 + 3z^3 + 4 = 0$
How do you solve this?

The solutions are:
1) $0.8721 \pm 0,9093i$
2) $0.3514 \pm 1.2099i$
3) $-1.2235 \pm 0.3006i$

A: $$z^3=\frac{-3\pm i\sqrt{7}}{2}=-2e^{\pm i\theta},$$ with $\tan\theta=\dfrac{\sqrt 7}3$.
Then
$$z=-\sqrt[3]2\,e^{(\pm i\theta+2k\pi)/3}, k=0,1,2.$$


LOWELL, Mass. – UMBC women's basketball's freshman forward Sara Tarbert (Delta, Pa./Kennard-Dale) notched her fourth double-double of the season, but UMass Lowell tabbed a 16-2 run over the final 5:09 to pick up the 59-51 victory in America East action on Saturday afternoon at Costello Athletic Center.
UMBC led by as many as 17 in the first half of the contest and held an advantage for over 33 minutes of action, but 25 turnovers, including 15 in the second half, coupled with the Retrievers shooting 25 percent in the final 20 minutes, allowed UMass Lowell back into the contest. The River Hawks knocked down 10 three-point field goals on the afternoon with five coming off the bench from freshman guard Nicole Hayner en route to her game-high 17 points.
The Retrievers finished with three double-digit scorers, including a team-best 13 points from freshman guard Taylor McCarley (Bowie, Md./Academy of Holy Cross). Sophomore center Bridget O'Donnell (Belle Mead, N.J./Montgomery) chipped in 10 points and eight rebounds, while Tarbert added 10 points, 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals. Sophomore guard Liz McNaughton (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax) matched a career-high with nine rebounds and added six points and three assists.
The River Hawks improve to 4-18 on the year and 3-8 in the league play, while UMBC falls to 2-21 overall and 1-10 in the conference.
UMass Lowell opened up with the first bucket of the contest, but UMBC went on to score the next 11 points to jump out to an 11-2 advantage. The Retrievers led by as many as 17 points in the opening half, following a steal and lay in for Tarbert, but UMBC did not score again over the final 2:02 of the period, allowing the River Hawks to finish the half on a 10-0 run, to cut its deficit to seven, 34-27, at the break.
The Retrievers shot 56.5 percent from the floor in the opening period, but turned the ball over 10 times in the frame. UMBC held an 18-4 advantage in the paint and assisted 12 of its 13 baskets in the half. Junior guard Jasmine McRoy led the charge for the River Hawks, finishing the half with 10 of her 16 points.
UMass Lowell continued where it ended the first half, opening with a short jumper from sophomore forward Lindsey Doucette, followed by a trey from Hayner to come within two, 34-32, but Tarbert and O'Donnell helped the Retrievers to maintain their advantage, 36-32, with 18:02 to go.
UMBC held off a second push from the River Hawks by going on a quick 5-0 run behind freshmen Emily Russo (Woodbine, Md./Glenelg) and Amanda Hagaman (Manasquan, N.J./Manasquan) to take an eight-point lead, 45-37, with 10:37 to go, but the Retrievers would score just six points over the final 10 minutes, all coming from McCarley.
UML took its first lead since 17:03 of the first half following four straight points from Doucette with 3:04 remaining in the contest. Despite not having scored in 3:23, McCarley's layup with 1:58 to go in the contest brought UMBC back within two, 53-51, however, UMass Lowell connected on three sets of free throws over the final 1:35 to hang on for the victory.
The Retrievers held a 32-12 advantage at points in the paint, but hit 2-of-13 from beyond the arc and 7-of-28 from the field in the second period.
UMBC returns home for three straight games, starting with a matchup against the league's first-place team Albany on Tuesday, Feb. 11.
-UMass Lowell completes the season-sweep to take a 2-0 advantage in the all-time series.
-Sara Tarbert reached double-figures for the seventh straight game. She notched a double-double for the fourth time this season and double-digit rebounds for the fourth time.
-Emily Russo snagged a season-high six steals in the contest, the Retriever this season to grab more than five steals in a game.

There are days that I am at the end of my mommy rope. I just can't seem to find the balance of enough sleep, a urine-free bathroom, folded laundry, and the list goes on...and on. Balance. Hmmm, I've thought a lot about how to achieve balance. I've come to the realization that the word balance and children don't go together.
I love being a mom. I would rather read books and be down on the floor with my children than anything else in the world.
Sometimes it's good to get away. Think. Breathe. Be refreshed.

Just make sure that you wash down any salt water off your sunglasses with fresh water and never try to rub the sand off the lenses or you will end up with some horrible scratches. As with any pair of sunnies, remember to dry them off once you have rinsed the salt water off them. Head over to our Product Care page for more info.
