"What would you call the bakery if you opened it?"
"Why would you name it that? Why not call it Willows?"
"Rosemary was my best friend."
My aunt was a beautiful woman. Long, dark green hair, vibrant blue eyes, and skin as smooth as porcelain. She apparently looked a lot like my mother, who also had the trademark blue eyes. I never knew my mother, she died as she was giving birth to me. I know I would love my mother though, but Rosemary was the woman who raised me. She loved me like a mother would, and she was my best friend. From my birth, she cared for me, raised me, and taught me much of what I know now.
She taught me how to be kind and caring, how to love everybody no matter how bad or corrupt.
"Love is the most important thing." She would always say that to
Hitman Troubles: Chapter 2Astrid sat on a bench and watched as her sister Mary and her friend Carley looked at things in the kiosk. She never really had any interest in fashion. But it made her sister happy to look at that kind of stuff and she liked to see her like this. To be honest she never wanted to come to the mall today, but there was nothing else to do. Carley walked over and sat next to her, "She's coming.", Carley said, "just needed to get a price on something.". "I never understood how you two could look at clothes for hours on end.", Astrid replied, "I can barely stand to look at them for ten minutes. Let alone two hours.". "Well you've always been sort of a tomboy. I mean look at what you do. You're a mercenary and sometimes a treasure hunter. You've never really had the time to get an interest in fashion.". Mary walked over happily with bags in hand, "All set!", she said with a wide smile. "Let's get home so we can try them on!".

PhysioMalachy was shirtless and face down in the physio’s office. There was a reason for this. The boy was being tested after complaining of a sore back after playing football for his under twelves team. The brunette sighed as the physio placed her hands on his back and felt around.Physio8 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
“I can’t see anything wrong. You feeling any pain?” she asked. The boy shook his head.
“No, I’m alright, I think,” he said. The boy’s arms were currently stretched out to the top of the table. The physiotherapist smiled and slid her hands into the boy’s armpits and gently tucked her fingers into them. The boy gasped and squealed, giggling and tugging at his arms a little.
“Hey, they tickles!” he squeaked sweetly. The Physio smiled happily and moved her hands down over the boy’s back. But the sensations were so light and gentle that even that tickled! Malachy was very ticklish, but his pits were his worst spot. Luckily he wasn’t in the m
Sun ScreamXavier was sitting on the beach right now. As he was doing so, his mother was rubbing sunscreen on him. He hated this part, and would have rather done it himself, but the soon to be ten-year-old brown haired boy often stuffed it up, and so as a result, his mother was doing it for him.Sun Scream8 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
There was a reason as to why Xavier hated it so much! He was excessively ticklish… probably too much for his own liking. His parents and friends on the other hand didn’t seem to mind, and actually loved making him laugh through tickle torture. He did have a nice laugh after all! The face wasn’t that bad, but when Xavier lay down on his front, he knew he was in for it.
His mother applied cream to the boy’s neck and immediately he started shaking with laughter. His mother kept giggling along with him, happily tickling her son in a caring, loving way. It WAS unintentional, and it was for her son’s safety and protection. She continued to rub cream all over the boy’s back an
The DreamerSeven-year-old Max was sleeping. His mind was active though. He was dreaming, and the boy loved his dreams. Right now, he was happily being held down as a tickle monster teased his little body.The Dreamer8 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
In his dream, the little boy was wearing shorts only. The monster had many tentacles and they were currently caressing the youngster’s tender ribs, tummy, sides and armpits. His thighs and knees were also being gently tickled, as were his shins. His tummy and armpits were being scribbled all over at the moment and every now and then; the monster’s mouth would lower itself to the boy’s tummy and blow a raspberry there!
But the best tickles were currently on the boy’s feet. He loved being tied there. Right now the little brown haired boy had little tentacles with electric toothbrush heads on the end sliding over his little toes. Small feathers and pipe cleans were sawing gently between his toes whilst a rounded nail was gently sliding over the undersides of the boy’s
Can Cats Tickle?Oscar was currently sitting in the kitchen. His flip-flops were cast beside him. The animal lover had butter rubbed over his left foot and milk on his right foot. His father was holding his ankles down and whistling for the cat, Ginger to come along. Oscar had wondered whether his cat could tickle, and the tickle-lover’s father had come up with a small experiment to find out. The curly brown haired boy giggled nervously when Ginger appeared.Can Cats Tickle?8 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
“You ready, sport?” Oscar’s father asked. Oscar giggled sweetly and nodded. Ginger stepped up to his master’s feet and sniffed them, before sticking his tongue out and licking gently all over the child’s small feet. The boy immediately broke into soft giggles and squirmed around nervously.
“DADDY IHIHIHHIIT TIHIHIHIHHICKLES!” the boy cried. The boy’s father chuckled and playfully nabbed the boy’s side, making him squeak endearingly. Meanwhile, Ginger’s tongue was licking all over the

His eight-year-old blond son was very flexible, and right now the young boy was lying on his back, with his arms wrapped around his knees.

“Oh nothing much… I just thought of trying this,” the boy explained, lying on the living room floor and still managing to stare up at the television screen to watch the Cricket. Howard’s father smiled and slid across the couch.
“Well, shall we see how long you can hold this position for?” the man asked. Howard giggled.
“Okay,” he said, unsuspectingly.
“Good. I don’t think you’ll last very long,” the boy’s father added. Howard was about to question why this might be, when suddenly he felt his dad’s fingers dancing gently over the soles of his bare fee
MeasurementLeyton and Llewellyn both sat with their legs crossed, pondering their problem. The two second-graders were currently completing a maths assignment about measurement, and they had to come up with their own way of measuring objects and one body part. They had decided to use special craft feathers as their unit of measurement. But now it was time to measure a body part, and the boy’s were having issues thinking of one they could use.Measurement8 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
Leyton, the boy with dark blond hair with a copper tang sighed as he considered the problem. It was Llewellyn however, the boy with longer, lighter blond hair and glasses that came up with the answer.
“We could measure our feet,” the eight-year-old said. Leyton agreed.
“Okay… so… do you just want to do one pair of feet or should we both do it?” asked Leyton. Llewellyn shrugged.
“I don’t think it’ll matter because we both have the same shoe size,” the boy explained.

His hands supported his chin.Trying to Read8 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
Clem’s older sister snuck up behind him. “Hey squirt, what are you doing?” she asked. Claire was sixteen and loved teasing her brother whenever she could. Clem rolled his eyes.
“Trying to read,” the boy replied, without looking up. Claire rolled her eyes too and grunted, sitting down on the couch – right across Clem’s ankles.
“GAH!” the boy cried in shock. “Do you mind?” he asked, irritably. “Those are my legs!” he added. Claire clapped her hands, prompting Clem to narrow his eyes at her. He returned to his book.

The six-year-old blond boy was quite good at balancing, and he practiced wherever he could. Now was a perfect example.

This was the mistake that young Joey had just made. The young seven-year-old with the spiky brown hair, slim build and small stature was sitting next to the row seat. One educator sat next to him and his friend sat on the other side. He was glad that the two educators sitting near him were easy going. Stephen always made funny jokes and Dan let Joey get away with anything.
“Stephen, can I take my shoes off?” the boy asked. Stephen patted the boy’s shoulder and nodded.
“I don’t see why not. Just make sure you keep your belongings close to you,” said the educator. Joey leant down and untied his laces, slipping his little feet out of his shoes. He wiggled his toes, before sliding down in his chair a little and sticking his feet up on the armrest
Cubby House P1It was free playtime at vacation care for the time being. For Gus, Robin and Taj, this was the best time of the day, just after lunch before activities. The three boys had spent the morning building a big cubby house on the other side of the stadium, and it was very cosy inside.Cubby House P18 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
The three boys were aged nine, eight and nine respectively. The boys were all thin and had average height for their age. The exception was Taj who looked like he belonged in grade four. Gus had short brown hair, Robin had short but thicker dirty blond hair which looked more like a murky light brown, and Taj had bright blond hair which was also short. Whilst open toed footwear wasn’t usually permitted, because it was the summer program, the children were allowed to wear them so long as they had another pair of shoes as well. As a result, Gus was walking around in flip-flops though he’d just discarded them, and Taj HAD been wearing sandals, though he too had discarded them. Robin had removed his shoes
Older Brother p1AJ, Bart and Colton were all three brothers. They all had plenty in common, and one of their favourite quirks was that they came from a tickling household. It didn’t help that their surname was ‘Tickle’ and that their dad often made the incredibly cheesy remark of ‘There’ll a be a Tickle at the Tickle Residence tonight!’Older Brother p18 hours ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
AJ was the oldest, with short dirty blond hair, slightly tanned skin and blue eyes. He was nine years old, and nearly ten. His other brothers were aged eight and six. Bart, the middle child, was the same height as AJ, even though the boys were actually small for their ages. Bart was the exception to this rule, however. His hair was also a little lighter than his brothers, and longer too. Then there was Colton – the cheeky six-year-old. He was always getting up to no good!
Today was the same, because when Colton awoke, he was tied up with a sock in his mouth! Because the night had been reasonably warm, the boy wore nothing but a

Upon turning it on, Taylor screamed and pulled his foot back as far as it could go, which wasn’t much. Then he had to face the total agony of the electric toothbrush tickling his little toes, the undersides of the tender digits and his sole! This drove Taylor up the wall and he screamed for all he was worth. Sharon on the other hand was playing with a feather duster. She held her son’s gig toes and pulled it back, using the duster to slide all over her child’s little foot. She even tickled his toes with it, and Taylor’

“Hmm… I dunno… maybe we should test it for strength?” Hunter suggested.
“Yeah, but how are we going to do that?” asked Jim, staring at the cross. The boys were both practicing on the little beach of the lake. As a result, Hunter was barefooted. His sandals were adjacent to where they were building. Jim spied the boy’s feet. A suddenly wicked idea came to the soon to be thirteen-year-old.

They snatched the boy from his bed, whilst he was wearing naught but sleeveless shirt and shorts and took him to the master bedroom, tying his arms and feet to the bedposts. The ten-year-old brunette boy had a flavor for pranking people, and he’d done a very good one the other day.

Adequate sleep is one of the most important keys for unlocking the doors of healthy life. Sleep is often overlooked while dwelling on fitness—the benefits of quality sleep range from mental health to physical aptness. On average, the human body requires eight hours of quality sleep; if not provided, it leads to many health issues. Here are the good sleep habits that, when endorsed, optimize sleep quality.
1. Saying Good Night to Electronic Gadgets
The research shows that screens have a disrupting effect on sleep hormones in our bodies. The blue light emission from these displays adversely affects the body clock. Therefore, it's the need of the hour that electronic gadgets should be said good night before one hour of your sleep. Doing exercise, reading a book, taking a bath, or listening to soft melodies can improve the quality of your sleep.
2. Mindful Selection of Meal
Refrain from treating yourself daily with coffee, tea, or hefty fried items. Always make mindful, nutritious choices for your supper to enjoy a night full of uninterrupted and comfortable sleep. Opt for a bowl of cereal, fruits, and steamed veggies for dinner. They are lighter on the stomach, easily digestible, and lead to an easy transition to sleep. Cut down all the edibles almost two hours before sleep.
3. Craft a Regular Bedtime
The human body works according to the internal body clock. This clock is very responsive to the routine set by the humans themselves. A consistent sleep routine is vital to ensure quality sleep. Always wind up all the chores before your regular sleep hour to signal the body it's time to shut down. Adhering to a sleep schedule will improve sleep quality and make your time efficient.
4. Blackout the Room
The darkness of night is a message from the creator that it's time to sleep and rest. Everything in this universe is created with a purpose, and the blackout at night symbolizes that all affairs should be ceased and snoozed. The same rule applies to the bedroom. Always switch out the lights or dim bulbs to create a cozy environment that elevates quality sleep.
5. Restrict Daytime Naps
Taking frequent and long-duration naps during the day time reduces the quality of sleep at night for people who are suffering from insomnia and poor sleep problems. Studies suggest that a nap during the day before 3 pm proves to be refreshing and boosts energy levels for everyday activities; however, the one taken after 3 pm affects night sleep adversely.
6. Comfortable Room Layout
The sleeping environment plays a major role in the quality of our sleep. Elevating the room temperature, cleanliness, and comfort boosts sleep quality. A room equipped with moderate temperature, proper furniture, and good maintenance is subtle on nerves, leading a person to relax in the best possible way. A quiet, cool, and cozy room with comfortable bedding is perfect for a good night's sleep.
7. Watch Out for Daily Routine Chores
Everyday routine activities translate into your nighttime sleep quality. The activities performed during the day should be scheduled properly and include some workouts and exercises. Research shows that a person performing fast-paced and manual work has better sleep patterns at night than people who waste their days sitting idle. Exercise, cycling, and walking improve a person's health and are gentle on sleep.
8. Unburden Your Mind Before Entering the Bed
Sometimes, an occupied and burdened brain can lead to sleepless nights. Releasing everyday stress and tensions from family or professional life improves sleep quality. The best practice to get relief from stress or anxiety is to share it with someone close. Making productive conversations, swimming, and hot water baths are all sources of stress release, leading to quality sleep time.
9. Maintain a Sleep Diary
The documentation of sleep patterns, duration, and interruptions helps us have complete insight into the reasons for not having quality sleep. Putting reason before every sleepless night can help us determine whether overeating, a burdened brain, or caffeine intake led to poor-quality sleep. Maintaining such a diary can aid in avoiding reasons behind wakeful nights. This tested way helps in improving the quality of sleep.
10. Negate the Possibility of Sleep Disorder
Consistent Poor sleep problems may be the result of underlying sleep disorders. Sleep illnesses include insomnia, sleep apnea, abrupt sleep movements, and sleep-wake disorders. Studies reveal that these disorders are very common among men and women. If a person is consistently struggling to sleep, it is very important to consult and have expert advice. Proper treatments can lead to peaceful sleep nights.

I have a first floor laundry room area with toilet, shower that was an addition to the house (before I moved in). When we flush the toilet, we sometimes get a gurgle in the washer drain. Also when the washer drains we sometimes get odors. I think itâ€™s a ventilation problem. The original main line (going to kitchen and upstairs bathroom) has a main vent stack on the roof. I am wondering if I could put an Air Admittance Valve on the Laundry room drain lines (http://www.oatey.com/products/air-admittance-valves/aavs/sure-vent-air-admittance-valve-20-dfu-capacity), if so then what size and where is the best place? I can get under the floor and access most of the pipes. I can get to the toilet drain and to the drain line connecting the sink and washer.The toilet drain is 3â€, and the washer, sink, shower is 1/12â€.

(BEDFORD) - Bedford Police officers were called to Bedford Middle School after the principal called reporting a student had made a threat.
According to North Lawrence Superintendent Gary Conner, the boy, who made the threat to other students, has been disciplined.
"The boy made a comment to a couple of students that he was 'scoping them'," Conner says. "In other words - the threat referred to him putting them in the scope of a gun and shooting them. The students at first felt threatened by the comment and reported the incident."
North Lawrence Community Schools has a zero tolerance policy against threats.
Bedford officers were called to the school just before 10 a.m. Wednesday to talk to the students.
"We take every threat very serious," Conner says. "We can't have this kind of situation. At first the students who the comments were addressed to felt threatened, but after talking with staff and police the threat no longer existed. We tried to keep the comments made in context, but in this day and time threats are a sensitive topic and we must take action to make sure all of our students feel safe."

We're on a mission to transform global health, one patient at a time.
Join the movement.
From South America to West Africa to Siberia, Partners In Health and its sister organizations are marking another year spent providing a preferential health care option for the poor. Here's a glimpse into our efforts during 2014, represented by quotes from patients and staff members across our sites.
Daphroza Nyiranzoga reflects on her experiences as a patient working with PIH's team in Rwanda.
In the 2013 Shattuck Lecture, Partners In Health co-founder Dr. Paul Farmer argues that the true barrier to HIV treatment for poor people was a lack of funding, not the difficulty of delivering treatment. We look back at the HIV Equity Initiative in Haiti, which provided evidence for a model to make HIV treatment available to millions of people worldwide.
The Nyamicucu Health Post is our latest contribution to a long-overlooked community in Rwanda, and it’s one we’re especially proud of.
“We help around seven women deliver every day, and sometimes we get over 200 women in a month. Now, we can accommodate more pregnant women, and get midwives to provide the best health care to women giving birth,” said Grace Dusabe, head nurse of the maternity ward.
Fred Rwabukumba, a doctor in training, returns to Rwinkwavu, Rwanda, and visits his former primary school.
Medie Jesena, a nurse educator working with our Rwandan sister organization, shares advice for working in global health.
“‘Race to the Top’ encourages health center teams to work hard, concentrate their efforts toward reaching specific targets related to district priorities, and develop innovative approaches to overcoming challenges,” says Dr. Evrard Nahimana, Kirehe District’s clinical director.

With the holiday season approaching, we are always seeking out just the right gift for that special person in our lives. Now this may come as a bit of a surprise, but I’m a pretty big proponent of books. Yeah, I know….shocker, huh? But honestly, why buy something like a movie for this person (when chances are they might already have it!?!?!) that is just going to sit on a shelf until they get around to watching it. Okay…same could be said for a book…especially in my house. But honestly, a book will stay longer with them, by teaching them something they didn’t know before, which will allow a few different things to happen. For instances, if you get them a biography, they will learn about this particular person, be it a director or actor, which will help them appreciate and understand their work each and every time they watch one of their movies. If it is a simple film guide, it could open up a bunch of titles to them that they might not have known about yet. Or even if it is a book about the genre in general, it could open up some understanding as a whole, which always helps you appreciate it even more, getting you to think about these films possibly a little different than you had before.
So here’s a few titles that I feel are not only great gifts for your horror-loving friends and loved ones, but will help that person become an even better and more educated horror fan. Now, how is that not a great gift idea?
Indie publisher Midnight Marquee has been around for a very long time, and has produced countless great titles during that time, many of which I have in my personal collection. But this year they released two titles, both by author Troy Howarth, that I think would be great gift ideas.
If this person is a fan of Italian giallos, then Howarth’s So Deadly, So Perverse: Vol. 1 is the perfect book for them. While this is only the first of three volumes, it gives an incredible history of the giallo, then a film guide to this twisted and strange sub-genre, covering quite a number of titles that have even the die-hard fan either seeking out unseen films or re-watching some old favorites.
The second Howarth title is the recently published Splintered Visions: The Films of Lucio Fulci. Now, I have only just started digging into this one, I still will come out and say it is a must have, especially if you’re a fan of Fulci’s work. With the help of Mike Baronas, Howarth was not only able to cover Fulci’s films, but also talk to many people that worked directly with him, giving us a better insight to this often misunderstood director. I would strongly suggest ordering the full color version edition, even though it is a bit more expensive, it is well worth the extra money.
Both of these titles can be purchased directly from Midnight Marquee, the giallo title at a cheaper price than if you order it online from places like Amazon. I don’t think the color version of the Fulci book is even available through Amazon. Finding titles on Midnight Marquee’s site sometimes can be challenging, HERE is the direct link for the giallo book. You should be able to find the Fulci title on their main page, HERE.
Now if this person you’re shopping for is a fan of zombie films, which seems to be just about most people these days, why not pick them up a book to help them understand and learn the history of this genre. Yes, believe it or not, but zombie films have been around a lot longer than The Walking Dead. I know…another shocker. But here are two titles that I think will do great in educating these undead fans.
Jamie Russell’s newly updated version of his 2005 book, The Book of the Dead, gives us even more information than in his original edition, which I had said was a great book. So this newer version makes it even more of a must-have! Russell starts at the very beginning, showing us where this sub-genre started, and how it has progressed over the years. They will learn so much about zombie films, from White Zombie, to the Val Lewton classic I Walked with a Zombie, to the game-changing Romero film, Night of the Living Dead, to the Italian zombie films, where they took the over-the-top gore even farther than you thought possible. Seriously…a must have for zombie fans.
But if you’re looking for more of a coffee-table type of book, then Ozzy Inguanzo’s Zombies on Film might just do the trick. This hefty size book is wonderfully illustrated with the history of zombie films, starting right at the beginning. Much like Russell’s book, it does give us the same range of history, but not as detailed, but more illustrated. Plus, this book is a beautifully laid out hardcover edition. Great to have laying around the house to show visitors just how seriously you are about these movies!
Both of these editions are still available online at very reasonable prices.
The late Gunnar Hansen, most known for his role as Leatherface in Tobe Hooper’s 1974 cult film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, did something last year that I never thought possible. He wrote this biography, Chain Saw Confidential, about his memories of working on this notorious film and filled me with information and interest about a film that I thought I had “heard it all before”. Hansen is not only a talented actor, but even more so a writer. He recalls in great details the behind-the-scenes stuff that was going on during this time, making you shudder at some of the stuff that was being done, to shaking your head in amazement that this film ever got released, let alone even finished getting made.
There are so many stories here, that as horror fans we remember well from seeing the film so many times over the years, that Hansen brings us right back to certain scenes and sequences, that will blow your mind even more on some of these details. And not just from Hansen either, since he spent a lot of time talking with the other cast and crew over the years, and gives their input as well. One of our favorite books we read this year.
But now if this person you gift searching for is more of a fan of classic sci-fi/horror films, than I would recommend picking up a copy of Mark Thomas McGee’s book You Won’t Believe Your Eyes. This is sort of a film review guide, but done with a much more fun and personal, and damn entertaining look back at a wide range of classic movies that came out in the 1950s. McGee grew up in that era so we get to hear him reminisce about seeing quite a few of these titles upon their original release, hearing about it from the little kid still inside McGee. Not only will this book make you want to visit or re-visit these features, but help you appreciate them more for what they are, and not some cheap, guy-in-a-suit alien invader, but a trip back in time to a much different era of films and film making.
This was published by BearManor Media and is still available through their site at a very reasonable price. While this was published back in 2013, I first came across it this year, and will definitely make my Best Of List for 2015. Just click HERE to get more information on this title.
Here’s another idea for you if you’re friend is a fan of the older films, though this one is going to be a bit more pricey, but worth the investment. British publisher Peveril Publishing has started a multi-volume book series called Fantastic Films of the Decades that truly are works of art. They have released the first volume, which covers the films of the 1920s, and volume 2, which is on the 1930s, should be coming out shortly. Their plan is to do one or two volumes on each decade (2 volumes each on the 50s, 60s, & 70s). If the rest of the series looks as good as the first volume, it will be an incredible series. Each one is beautifully laid out, with a great mixture of amazing photos, tons of detail and information about the films, and so much more.
Okay, now the bad part. Since each of these volumes are a limited press run, only 500 each, and they are coming from the UK, the total cost for each volume is a bit high, close to $60 each. But if you figured that you only need to pick up the first volume to get them addicted to the series, then it will be up to them to buy the rest! Yes, a devious plan, but a good one!
There are still some left of the first volume and they are still taking pre-orders for the second volume. So don’t wait too long before they are sold out. You can get all the information from Peveril’s website HERE.
So go ahead. Plan a little more in advance to order your copy of one of these titles. Maybe spend a wee bit more than you were planning. But know that you will not only be getting a big smile on the face of your horror fan friend, but you’ll be making them smarter! Now how’s that for a holiday gift?

We got to check out a group of Thais pulling a massive gold sheet over the Buddha to cover him up... probably to make merit!

Have you ever moved to a new city without any idea of what neighborhood would best suit you? What neighborhood has the best public schools for you children, or the safest place to raise a family, or the best access to public transportation? Or maybe you want to know more about the neighborhood you’re already a part of and how you can improve the community that you live in. It is not easy to find a lot of this information in one place. But what if you could pull out your smartphone, enter a street address, and have a rating pop up that could give you all of this valuable information and more? Civic startup, Appallicious has done just that for the City of San Francisco with a brand new app called the Neighborhood Score.
I recently attended the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Las Vegas with San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee to unveil this one-of-a-kind mobile application, made possible by San Francisco’s open data initiatives. At the conference, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and I spoke at the Technology and Innovation Task Force with other civic leaders from all over the United States. At the panel we showed other cities how Neighborhood Score can empower citizens, elected officials, and community leaders.
Neighborhood Score gathers data from over 20 open data sets on the Federal, state, regional, and local level and then compiles that data into a 100-point rating score on a street-by-street basis. With this information, users are able to see how their neighborhoods rank down to the city block on a wide variety of issues like crime rate, pollution, quality of education, access to public transportation. Basically anything you would want to know about any particularly neighborhood in the city that you live in. This application gives citizens the crucial information they need when making big decisions like where to by a house, or small decisions like finding the safest bike route through the city.
Neighborhood Score is also invaluable to our local leaders, and the residents they serve. A mayor, supervisor, or department head can use Neighborhood Score to see how neighborhoods stack up to each other. The app makes it easy to see which areas are doing well on certain issues, like a low crime rate or higher quality of education. Elected leaders can then see what these neighborhoods are doing differently and implement strategies in target areas that might need additional support or more resources. Neighborhood Score will also help hold our leaders accountable. Residents can now easily see if their representatives are delivering on promises they’ve made to improve the communities that their constituents live in.
This extremely useful mobile application would not have been possible if local governments and agencies hadn’t opened up these vital data sets for civic start-ups and other innovators to use. We worked closely with the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Civic Innovation, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and other organizations like Code For America to bring San Franciscans the Neighborhood Score.
One of the reasons we launched the app at the U.S. Conference of Mayors was to show that every city in the country could easily have something similar if they too make their data easily accessible.
Relatively speaking, San Francisco is a pretty small city. You can make the seven-mile drive across the city, from the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean in less than 30 minutes. But on your way across you will go through tons of different neighborhoods, that can be so different from one another, they might as well be their own little cities.
We look forward to working with other local governments, mayors, city council members, department heads, and city leaders so their residents can utilize the same valuable information about their neighborhoods like the City by the Bay.
Yo Yoshida is the CEO of Appallicious, the company that created Neighborhood Score.

Events to create dialogue surrounding sexual violence on campus
Throughout April, campus organizations will host events to commemorate Sexual Assault Awareness Month. These events will raise awareness of sexual assault on college campuses, inform students of available resources and get students involved in efforts to make UC Davis a safer campus.
Events planned include the Dear Survivor Photo Project on April 6, a screening of the documentary The Hunting Ground on April 13 and the Take Back the Night event on April 12. These events aim to create a dialogue regarding sexual assault with students on campus.
Sam Alavi, a fourth-year sociology and education major, is the student director of ASUCD’s Sexual Assault, Awareness and Advocacy Committee (SAAAC) and creator of the Dear Survivor Photo Project.
“The campus supports survivors; you’re loved, you’re supported and we believe you,” Alavi said. “It’s a really simple message that a lot of survivors don’t get.”
Over the past few months, Alavi has photographed survivors and allies and overlaid stylized versions of letters written to themselves, friends or other survivors. She plans to post digital versions of these posters online during April and eventually convert them into banners that will hang around campus. On April 6, from 4 to 6 p.m., the Women’s Resources and Research Center (WRRC) will host an event in which students can participate in the project themselves by having their photos taken and writing letters to friends or other survivors.
Lily Karim, a first-year biomedical engineering major and member of the SAAAC, is working to organize a screening of The Hunting Ground with the help of other SAAAC members. The documentary describes the prevalence of rape culture on college campuses across the nation through the stories of survivors. The screening will take place on April 13 at 7:30 p.m. in Sciences Lecture Hall.
“My goal is to raise awareness for sexual assault on campus and the reporting process. It needs to be more transparent so survivors are not silenced,” Karim said.
UC Davis’ Center for Advocacy, Resources, and Education (CARE) is organizing Take Back the Night, which, according to the event’s Facebook page, is “an annual event which aims to raise awareness about sexual assault, support survivors and promote action within the community to end sexual and gender-based violence.” At the Student Community Center on April 12 starting at 7 p.m., students can participate in art projects, listen to spoken word, hear live music and attend a resource fair as a way to support survivors and create a larger community of students informed and committed to ending sexual assault on the UC Davis campus.
CARE Outreach Student Assistant Allyanna Pittman, a fourth-year psychology and economics double major, is working to coordinate the event.
“Our aim is to create a campus culture that is intolerant of sexual assault, while simultaneously empowering survivors,” Pittman said via email.
Resources for students interested in learning more can be found at UC Davis’ Sexual Violence Prevention and Response website, the WRRC and CARE.

The BMW S1000RR is one of the most monstrous motorcycles in production currently.
Therefore, it only makes sense that the beastly motorcycle would test it’s limits in this wild 1/4 mile race.
For many it is obvious to understand why motorcycles are capable of such ridiculous speeds.
However, the BMW S1000RR has better electronics, more power, and less weight than ever helping it to dominate the roads wherever it may be.
In fact, its 999cc liquid-cooled inline-four engine tops out a six horsepower above what its 2014 model produced letting out close to 200HP! Talk about power!
To witness it in action click the video below!
Crazy!! Be sure to check the out next video below.


Why is it that Scotland despite having the largest concentration of Roman Miltray sies in the UK is completely year after year ignored by the Scottish Goverment, when the rest of Europe does evrything posible to promote this part of its culture. Whi is the Tourism Budget focussed only a history of Scotland from the Robert the Bruce to the Jocobite uprising? why do bodies under the Scottish Goverment put their budgets into building/castles of these naroow periods? why does this SNP Goverment not wish to see the bulding of a National Roman Center in Scotland which all tourists, schools could visit. People in Scotland and those who came here, exsiisted long before Robert The Bruce and Bonnie Prince Charles and yet our tourism focussed on overseas promotes Tartans and images that never where untill Queen Victoria came to the trhone. This nation is missing so much in not promoting its Roman Culture. and thier neighbours of the Pictish nations. Complacency in telling and selling false images seem to rule this indurtay.

Charlie Aitken, stockbroker at Bell Potter (you may recall his fighting words aimed at the Reserve Bank of Australia):
- Forecast the Australian dollar at US68¢
- Interest rates below 2%
- Stockmarket at 6000
- "Both the Baltic Dry Index and RBA cash rate are below levels seen at the peak of the GFC"
- "I now believe it's only a matter of time before the Australian-US dollar cross rate re-correlates to Global Financial levels"
- "However, against a global backdrop of deflationary forces and competitive currency devaluations, I think there is very real possibility of the cash rate with a "1" handle at some stage over the next 12-18 months
- "We have now become the latest country to adopt competitive currency devaluation as a monetary tool. Welcome to the global currency wars ... Make no mistake this was a big decision for the Reserve Bank. To suddenly change tack with the cash rate already below global financial crisis levels, and abandon a "period of stability" abandon in favour of a new aggressive easing policy is a monetary event which should not be taken lightly"

Turbulence: spiller of coffee, jostler of luggage, filler of barf bags, rattler of nerves. But is it a crasher of planes? Judging by the reactions of many airline passengers, one would assume so; turbulence is far and away the number one concern of anxious passengers. Intuitively, this makes sense. Everybody who steps on a plane is uneasy on some level, and there’s no more poignant reminder of flying’s innate precariousness than a good walloping at 37,000 feet. It’s easy to picture the airplane as a helpless dinghy in a stormy sea. Boats are occasionally swamped, capsized, or dashed into reefs by swells, so the same must hold true for airplanes. Everything about it seems dangerous.
Except that, in all but the rarest circumstances, it’s not. For all intents and purposes, a plane cannot be flipped upside-down, thrown into a tailspin, or otherwise flung from the sky by even the mightiest gust or air pocket. Conditions might be annoying and uncomfortable, but the plane is not going to crash. Turbulence is an aggravating nuisance for everybody, including the crew, but it’s also, for lack of a better term, normal. From a pilot’s perspective it is ordinarily seen as a convenience issue, not a safety issue. When a flight changes altitude in search of smoother conditions, this is by and large in the interest of comfort. The pilots aren’t worried about the wings falling off; they’re trying to keep their customers relaxed and everybody’s coffee where it belongs. Planes themselves are engineered to take a remarkable amount of punishment, and they have to meet stress limits for both positive and negative G-loads. The level of turbulence required to dislodge an engine or bend a wing spar is something even the most frequent flyer—or pilot for that matter—won’t experience in a lifetime of traveling.
Altitude, bank, and pitch will change only slightly during turbulence—in the cockpit we see just a twitch on the altimeter—and inherent in the design of airliners is a trait known to pilots as “positive stability.” Should the aircraft be shoved from its position in space, its nature is to return there, on its own. I remember one night, headed to Europe, hitting some unusually rough air about halfway across the Atlantic. It was the kind of turbulence people tell their friends about. It came out of nowhere and lasted several minutes, and was bad enough to knock over carts in the galleys. During the worst of it, to the sound of crashing plates, I recalled an email. A reader had asked me about the displacement of altitude during times like this. How many feet is the plane actually moving up or down, and side to side? I kept a close watch on the altimeter. Fewer than forty feet, either way, is what I saw. Ten or twenty feet, if that, most of the time. Any change in heading—that is, the direction our nose was pointed—was all but undetectable. I imagine some passengers saw it differently, overestimating the roughness by orders of magnitude. “We dropped like 3,000 feet in two seconds!”
At times like this, pilots will slow to a designated “turbulence penetration speed” to ensure high-speed buffet protection (don’t ask) and prevent damage to the airframe. This speed is close to normal cruising speed, however, so you probably won’t notice the deceleration from your seat. We can also request higher or lower altitudes or ask for a revised routing. You’re liable to imagine the pilots in a sweaty lather: the captain barking orders, hands tight on the wheel as the ship lists from one side to another. Nothing could be further from the truth. The crew is not wrestling with the beast so much as merely riding things out. Indeed, one of the worst things a pilot could do during strong turbulence is try to fight it. Some autopilots have a special mode for these situations. Rather than increasing the number of corrective inputs, it does the opposite, desensitizing the system.
Up front, you can imagine a conversation going like this:
Pilot 1: “Well, why don’t we slow it down?” [dials a reduced Mach value into the speed control selector]
Pilot 2: “Ah, man, this is spilling my orange juice all down inside this cup holder.”
Pilot 1: “Let’s see if we can get any new reports from those guys up ahead.” [reaches for the microphone and double-checks the frequency]
Pilot 2: “Do you have any napkins over there?”
There will also be an announcement made to the passengers and a call to the cabin crew to make sure they are belted in. Pilots often request that flight attendants remain in their seats if things look menacing up ahead.
Predicting the where, when, and how much of turbulence is more of an art than a science. We take our cues from weather charts, radar returns, and, most useful of all, real-time reports from other aircraft. Some meteorological indicators are more reliable than others. For example, those burbling, cotton-ball cumulus clouds—particularly the anvil-topped variety that occur in conjunction with thunderstorms—are always a lumpy encounter. Flights over mountain ranges and through certain frontal boundaries will also get the cabin bells dinging, as will transiting a jet stream boundary. But every now and then it’s totally unforeseen. When we hit those bumps on the way to Europe that night, what info we had told us not to expect anything worse than mild chop. Later, in an area where stronger turbulence had been forecast, it was perfectly smooth. You just don’t know.
When we pass on reports to other crews, turbulence is graded from “light” to “extreme.” The worst encounters entail a postflight inspection by maintenance staff. There are definitions for each degree, but in practice the grades are awarded subjectively. I’ve never been through an extreme, but I’ve had my share of moderates and a sprinkling of severes.
One of those severes took place in July 1992, when I was captain on a fifteen-passenger turboprop. It was, of all flights, a twenty-five-minute run from Boston to Portland, Maine. It had been a hot day, and by early evening, a forest of tightly packed cumulus towers stretched across eastern New England. The formations were short—about 8,000 feet at the tops, and deceptively pretty to look at. As the sun fell, it became one of the most picturesque skyscapes I’ve ever seen, with buildups in every direction forming a horizon-wide garden of pink coral columns. They were beautiful and, it turned out, quite violent—little volcanoes spewing out invisible updrafts. The pummeling came on with a vengeance until it felt like being stuck in an upside-down avalanche. Even with my shoulder harness pulled snug, I remember holding up a hand to brace myself, afraid my head might hit the ceiling. Minutes later, we landed safely in Portland. No damage, no injuries.
So that I’m not accused of sugar-coating, I concede that powerful turbulence has, on occasion, resulted in damage to aircraft and injury to their occupants. With respect to the latter, these are typically people who fell or were thrown about because they weren’t belted in. About sixty people, two-thirds of them flight attendants, are injured by turbulence annually in the United States. That works out to about twenty passengers. Twenty out of the 800 million or so who fly each year in this country.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that turbulence is becoming more prevalent as a byproduct of climate change. Turbulence is a symptom of the weather from which it spawns, and it stands to reason that as global warming intensifies certain patterns, experiences like the one I had over Maine will become more common.
Because turbulence is so unpredictable, I am known to provide annoying, noncommittal answers when asked how best to avoid it.
“Is it better to fly at night than during the day?” Sometimes.
“Should I avoid routes that traverse the Rockies or the Alps?” Hard to say.
“Are small planes more susceptible than larger ones?” It depends.
“They’re calling for gusty winds tomorrow. Will it be rough?” Probably, but who knows.
“Where should I sit, in the front of the plane or in the back?”
Ah, now that one I can work with…
While it doesn’t make a whole lot of difference, the smoothest place to sit is over the wings, nearest to the plane’s centers of lift and gravity. The roughest spot is usually the far aft—the rearmost rows closest to the tail.
As many travelers already know, flight crews in the United States tend to be lot more twitchy with the seat belt sign than those in other countries. We keep the sign on longer after takeoff, even when the air is smooth, and will switch it on again at the slightest jolt or burble. In some respects, this is another example of American overprotectiveness, but there are legitimate liability concerns. The last thing a captain wants is the FAA breathing down his neck for not having the sign on when somebody breaks an ankle and sues. Unfortunately, there’s a cry-wolf aspect as well. People get so accustomed to the sign dinging on and off, seemingly without reason, that they ignore it altogether.
There’s also something known as “wake turbulence.” This is a different phenomenon…
If you can picture the cleaved roil of water that trails behind a boat or ship, you’ve got the right idea. With aircraft, this effect is exacerbated by a pair of vortices that spin from the wingtips. At the wings’ outermost extremities, the higher-pressure air beneath is drawn toward the lower pressure air on top, resulting in a tight, circular flow that trails behind the aircraft like a pronged pair of sideways tornadoes. The vortices are most pronounced when a plane is slow and the wings are working hardest to produce lift. Thus, prime time for an encountering them is during approach or departure. As they rotate—at speeds that can top 300 feet per second—they begin to diverge and sink. If you live near an airport, stake out a spot close to a runway and listen carefully as the planes pass overhead; you can often hear the vortices’ whip-like percussions as they drift toward the ground.
As a rule, bigger planes brew up bigger, most virulent wakes, and smaller planes are more vulnerable should they run into one. The worst offender is the Boeing 757. A mid-sized jet, the 757 isn’t nearly the size of a 747 or 777, but thanks to a nasty aerodynamic quirk it produces an outsized wake that, according to one study, is the most powerful of any airplane.
To avoid wake upsets, air traffic controllers are required to put extra spacing between large and small planes. For pilots, one technique is to slightly alter the approach or climb gradient, remaining above any vortices as they sink. Another trick is to use the wind. Gusts and choppy air will break up vortices or otherwise move them to one side. Winglets—those upturned fins at the end of the wings—also are a factor. One of the ways these devices increase aerodynamic efficiency is by mitigating the severity of wingtip vortices. Thus a winglet-equipped plane tends to produce a more docile wake than a similarly sized plane without them.
Despite all the safeguards, at one time or another, every pilot has had a run-in with wake, be it the short bump-and-roll of a dying vortex or a full-force wrestling match. Such an encounter might last only a few seconds, but they can be memorable. For me, it happened in Philadelphia in 1994.
Ours was a long, lazy, straight-in approach to runway 27R from the east, our nineteen-seater packed to the gills. Traffic was light, the radio mostly quiet. At five miles out, we were cleared to land. The traffic we’d been following, a 757, had already cleared the runway and was taxiing toward the terminal. We’d been given our extra ATC spacing buffer, and just to be safe, we were keeping a tad high on the glide path. Our checklists were complete, and everything was normal.
At around 200 feet, only seconds from touchdown, with the approach light stanchions below and the fat white stripes of the threshold just ahead, came a quick and unusual nudge—as if we’d struck a pothole. Then, less than a second later, came the rest of it. Almost instantaneously, our 16,000-pound aircraft was up on one wing, in a 45-degree right bank.
It was the first officer’s leg to fly, but suddenly there were four hands on the yokes, turning to the left as hard as we could. Even with full opposite aileron—something never used in normal commercial flying—the ship kept rolling to the right. There we were, hanging sideways in the sky; everything in our power was telling the plane to go one way, and it insisted on going the other. A feeling of helplessness, of lack of control, is part and parcel of nervous flyer psychology. It’s an especially bad day when the pilots are experiencing the same uncertainty.
Then, as suddenly as it started, the madness stopped. In less than five seconds, before either of us could utter so much as an expletive, the plane came to its senses and rolled level.
If you’re interested, it’s possible to stake out a spot near and airport and actually hear wingtip vortices as they drift toward the ground:
You need to be very close to a runway—preferably within a half-mile of the end. The strongest vortices are produced on takeoff, but ideally you want to be on the landing side, as the plane will be nearer (i.e. lower) at an equivalent position from the threshold. A calm day is ideal, as wind will dissipate a vortex before it reaches the ground. About 30 seconds after the jet passes overhead you’ll begin to hear a whooshing, crackling and thundering. It’s a menacing sound unlike anything you’ve heard before. See—or hear—for yourself in this footage captured on my iPhone.
It was taken at the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation, a popular birdwatching spot about a half-mile north of runway 22R at Boston’s Logan International Airport. The plane is a 757. Excuse the atrocious video quality, but the sound is acceptable and that’s the important thing. You begin to hear the vortices at time 0:45, and they continue pretty much to the end. Note the incredible gunshot-like noises at 0:58.

School Choice Score: 89%
Arizona’s “switcher” tax-credit scholarship program was enacted and launched in 2012. The law allows donors to receive tax credits for their donations to school tuition organizations, nonprofits that give scholarships to students in need.
Education Savings Account
Arizona was the first state to enact an education savings account program, the newest school choice mechanism. The passage and launch of the Empowerment Scholarship Accounts program in 2011 opened the door to new learning opportunities for students with special needs and circumstances, and the expansion in 2017 will eventually make the program open to nearly all of Arizona’s K–12 students.
The Arizona legislature enacted “Lexie’s Law” in 2009. The program, a tax-credit scholarship for students with special needs, launched in the same year.
Arizona’s Low-Income Corporate Income Tax Credit Scholarship Program passed in 2006, and it launched in the same year. This tax-credit scholarship program allows corporate taxpayers to receive tax credits for their donations to nonprofit organizations that provide school scholarships to K–12 students from low-income families.
The Arizona legislature passed this program in 1997, and it launched in the same year. This tax-credit scholarship program allows taxpayers to receive tax credits for their donations to nonprofit organizations that provide school scholarships to K–12 students.
Charter Schools Score: 92%
Arizona has one of the strongest charter school laws in the country. It enables a wide, varied, and independent charter school sector. Arizona’s charter schools also have a lot of autonomy; the state scores higher than any other in the “autonomy” category.
The law also scores well because it allows for multiple authorizers, although there isn’t a wide variety of authorizers currently operating. An independent charter commission, the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (established by law) and school districts authorize charter schools. The state has recently encouraged universities to partner to create charter schools, as is the case at Arizona State University.
- Law passed in 1994
- 556 charter schools
- Arizona’s law has no cap on the growth of charter schools
- Estimated charter school enrollment: 185,900
- Virtual charter schools allowed
- Charter holders can contract with all education service providers
- Arizona earns 13 of 15 for “authorizing.” Arizona’s law allows for multiple entities to authorize charter schools: Universities, school districts, and the State Board for Charter Schools. In practice, however, the State Board authorizes the vast majority of schools. The Board is a strong authorizer and has historically granted schools autonomy and allowed the sector to grow. But having one authorizer limits the amount of charter schools that exist because there are fewer entities authorizing charter schools.
- Arizona earns 13 out of 15 for “growth.” While Arizona does not cap the number of charter schools that can be authorized, its charter sector has shown very little growth in recent years. The large number of schools that currently operate suggests that the market for charter schools in Arizona could be saturated; there is enough supply to meet demand.
- Arizona earns 18 of 20 for “operations” because its charter schools have a blanket waiver from all non-health and safety regulations that apply to traditional public schools. However, the State of Arizona and the Board have recently been requiring charter schools to comply with reporting requirements that constrain the ways schools can behave.
- Arizona earns 7 of 15 points for “funding equity.” Arizona’s law calculates a base support level for charter schools and provides equal access to all applicable categorical federal and state funding. But inequities in facilities funds and some federal funding disparities have resulted in school finance lawsuits in recent years.

Samara Weaving will star in the high-speed thriller Eenie Meanie, directed by Shawn Simmons and produced by the Deadpool writers
A couple years ago, it was announced that Shawn Simmons – creator and executive producer of the Prime Video series Wayne – would be writing an “irreverent high-speed thriller” for 20th Century Studios, with fellow Wayne executive producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (who are best known for writing Zombieland and the Deadpool movies) on board to produce the film. Now Deadline has confirmed that the project is moving forward under the title Eenie Meanie, with Simmons directing and Samara Weaving taking on the lead role.
Eenie Meanie is expected to be released through the Hulu streaming service. The story centers on a former teenage getaway driver who is dragged back into her unsavory past when a former employer offers her a chance to save the life of her chronically unreliable ex-boyfriend. With Weaving signing on to star in the film, it sounds like we know who’s going to be playing that getaway driver.
In recent years, Weaving has achieved scream queen status through her roles in projects like Ash vs. Evil Dead, The Babysitter, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, Mayhem, Ready or Not, and Scream VI. Despite the “thriller” label, it sounds like Eenie Meanie might turn out to be something more along the lines of Baby Driver than The Babysitter, so we might not be covering it much here on the Arrow in the Head horror side of JoBlo – but since Weaving has a following among horror fans, we figured it was worth mentioning at least once.
It may not be horror or even a dark thriller, but I definitely on board to watch a high-speed thriller that stars Samara Weaving and is produced by the Deadpool guys.
Does Eenie Meanie sound interesting to you? Are you a fan of Samara Weaving’s work? Let us know by leaving a comment below.
Other Weaving projects we know we have to look forward to include the 1980s action thriller Bella, the action horror film Azrael, and the comedic thriller Borderline. Borderline happens to be written and directed by Weaving’s husband Jimmy Warden, the writer of Cocaine Bear and the upcoming Magic 8 Ball horror comedy.

Dictators arrest their opponents. Our Constitution declares that our freedom of speech cannot be abridged. That means it cannot be limited. In a free society, it is critical that political opponents be not only free to speak but encouraged to speak openly and honestly.
In China, when somebody disagrees with Xi, they disappear. In Belarus, when people reveal that elections are fixed, they are arrested and go to jail. In Russia, when people oppose Putin they are jailed for the rest of their life. In the United States when people practice their First Amendment Rights they are arrested, indicted, tried in a Stalin type courtroom, and sentenced for longer times than rapists and murderers.
In Ukraine, the now aspiring dictator has learned that if you are to become a dictator you must silence your opponents. An opposition MP has been arrested and detained on suspicion of treason in Ukraine, with the nation’s security service claiming to have collected evidence of him spreading Russian propaganda.
Nestor Shufrych, a member of the Opposition Platform — For Life party that was banned by President Volodymyr Zelensky through martial law measures last March following the Russian invasion, is facing 15 years in prison on suspicion of high treason. He is alleged to have spread the “Kremlin’s false narratives that the Ukrainian state is ‘an artificial entity’, that Ukraine and Russia ‘have one history’, and that Ukrainians and Russians are ‘one people’.”
There is no longer any protection for the rights of the minorities, the very reason our founder’s rejected democracy and made us a republic. Freedom is now conditional on whether or not you conform to the dictates of the Democrat Party with the RINOS as their “useful idiots.” Sadly, Americans who would claim they support freedom continue to vote for the Democrats and their “useful idiots.”

Carleton erased any thoughts that Saturday night’s win over Memphis was a fluke after defeating the Tigers for the second time in four days. On Tuesday night, the Ravens ran away with a 92-60 victory over Memphis in Ottawa, Ontraio.
On Saturday night, the Ravens jumped out to an enormous first half lead. They would eventually hold on to an 86-76 win after Memphis outscored them by 16 in the second half, and limited them to only 36 percent shooting. But on Tuesday, Carleton turned a 13-point halftime lead into a 32-point victory. And if you were following L. Jason Smith, of the Commercial-Appeal, who was inside the Ravens’ Nest, live tweeting the blowout loss, you know Carleton guard Philip Scrubb was the star once again.
After scoring 35 points in the first game, the 6-foot-3 guard dropped a game-high 30 in the second meeting. He torched the Tigers in both games, shooting a combined 21 of 36 from the field and 10 of 19 from beyond the arc. Pookie Powell had a team-high 13 for Memphis followed by Chris Hawkins off the bench with 10. Austin Nichols did not play again.
For Carleton, this ends an impressive ends an impressive nine-day stretch. Carleton, the Canadian powerhouse that defeated Final Four-bound Wisconsin last summer, beat Vermont and UIC as well. The only loss Carleton suffered was a 10-point loss to Indiana to start the annual showcase. Scrubb did not play, as he was with the Canadian national team.
Memphis finished the trip 2-2.
