Oakland Raiders quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo will interview with San Jose State, according to Pete Rousell of Coachingsearch.com.
DeFilippo was the Spartans' quarterbacks coach in 2010-11 and the offensive coordinator last year before joining the Raiders staff. He had previously served as the Raiders' quarterbacks coach in 2007-08.
DeFilippo would be a familiar face for most of San Jose State's players. He played a role in recruiting quarterback David Fales, who has set several school records this season during his first year with the Spartans.
He was asked on Thursday by this newspaper if he had interest in San Jose State's opening, which became vacant when Mike MacIntyre left for Colorado.
"First of all, let me say I couldn't be happier for Mike MacIntyre and his family," DeFilippo said Thursday. "Mike did an unbelievable job at San Jose State. I love the place. It's a great place. My effort, 100 percent is on the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend and getting Carson (Palmer), Matt (Leinart) and Terrelle (Pryor) ready to go to 100 percent of their ability."
DeFilippo is the second reported interview for the job. along with University of San Diego coach Ron Caragher, who confirmed his interview to the U-T San Diego. SJSU defensive coordinator and interim head coach Kent Baer has also expressed interest in the job. It's unclear if he has interviewed yet.

You can't beat a system you can't understand
Since the day our founding fathers stepped foot on North American soil, our society has been obsessed with being first. We were the first to colonize the so-called "New World," the first to revolt and defeat Mother England and establish a sovereign nation, and we have continued to establish a long list of firsts in our obsession to stay ahead of seemingly every curve in the history of mankind.
Somewhere along the line, being first morphed into an obsession with first place, and first shared the spotlight with a new ideology. Unfortunately, our obsessive nature to be first has occasionally carried some unwanted baggage. We brag about being the "Land of the Free," yet we come in first with the most people incarcerated per capita in the world. That's not exactly a great first.
We were the first to develop atomic weapons as well as atomic energy - two iffy firsts. Nonetheless, on the positive side of first, we definitely lead the pack in our obsession to establish who deserves to be in first place and be internationally recognized as the bestest of the bestest in every possible category of athletics, professions, and anything else that can be organized to differentiate the winners from the slackers. Our competitive nature is nothing short of manic.
Last weekend, the week before Super Sunday, we had a weekend off from watching America's greatest hits on the gridiron. For the first time in six months, football did not dominate television screens and take precedence over any other activity on the weekend. Families were reunited.
One man hadn't noticed the existence of his wife since last September. "You came back," he said with an astonished expression on his face. "What are you talking about?" she asked. "I thought you left," the man replied. Then he wanted to know who the kids were in the back yard. When she told him they were his, he was dumbstruck. He thought his kids were much younger - all because of America's obsession with competition and who is or will be in first place in the National Football League.
This weekend, 94,000,000 people will watch the Super Bowl on American soil. Believe it or not, only 2,000,000 more will watch it elsewhere. That means almost one third of the population of the country will be glued to TV screens to witness the deciding game of the NFLto establish which team comes in first. However, it doesn't stop there. You'd think we'd take some time off and relax, maybe get away from the pressures of an overwhelmingly competitive atmosphere. But no, it's time to get ready for the Academy Awards.
For weeks, Oscar will be the subject of dinnertime conversation everywhere in the country. We rule in the category of cultures obsessed with celebrities in the world of entertainment. We come in first, big time. However, the competition for an Oscar is not enough. The industry saw how profitable the Academy Awards were and decided to give America more awards, more firsts, and more elitism. They established the Emmys, the Golden Globe, and the SAG Awards. And let's not forget the separate MTV and country music extravaganzas that decide which artist stands on the top of those heaps. I believe several more contests in this category are worth noting, but I can't recall the names of the events off the top of my head.
You'd think that as a culture we would soon tire of being inundated with contests. Not so. We have an insatiable appetite for this stuff. The successes of programs featuring athletic competition, and contests in the field of entertainment were so overwhelming that one of the most profitable categories in the world of television was established - reality TV.
I could go on, but I think the point is established. We are a nation driven by a quest to be in first place. Wouldn't it be nice if we came in first as the country with the most leisure time on our hands? I don't think it's gonna happen. We live in a system that we just can't seem to understand.

I like the cover very much! It was a surprise that the material was velvet. But I didn't request samples first so that is fine. The craftsmanship is good. It looks well made and fits nicely! After a while it has become loosen across the front. But I still like it. The world is not a perfect place. :)

Perusing local and national music journalism is one of my pastimes. I ran across an article a couple months ago that raised my feminist hackles. Musically speaking, the publication's selection of bands and DJs worth noticing was pretty solid—if a bit vanilla—but something was wrong. I did the math and discovered that female band member representation was a paltry 12.5 percent, alongside zero percent female DJs. The male-dominated roundup probably wasn't intentionally sexist, but the very act of falling short of embracing an egalitarian editorial stance is problematic.
And it's not an issue that's exclusive to any one newspaper or magazine. Looking back over my brief sectional residence, I'm less than pleased with my own coverage of female musicians, particularly in terms of live performance previews. In addition to resolving to up my editorial game, I chatted with some local DJs and musicians to get a sense of the sexism experienced by Burqueña music makers and aural curators.
They agreed it's not uncommon for a drunk, male straggler to stumble up to the decks. But then there's the more insidious sort of paternalism. Tahnee Udero, a.k.a. DJ Tahnee, recalled an incident where some male DJs rolled up ready to perform at one of her gigs. They showed up on the wrong night, reeking of unprofessionalism and booze. A compromise was reached. The organizationally challenged crew would spin in the back of the venue. One of them approached her later in the evening and started to reach for the controls on her turntable. A verbal altercation ensued, with Udero defending her possessions from unwanted groping by an intoxicated stranger. In closing, the offending patron suggested she go hear what the guys were playing. "What gives them the idea that's cool?" Udero asks. "They totally would not touch or talk to a male DJ like that."
That sort of sexist mentality isn't confined to wayward strangers, though. Even comments intended as compliments can mask misogyny. Multi-
Jessica Stone, a.k.a. DJ Bea, mentioned she's observed men feeling more at ease handing a female DJ a CD and saying "play track four." It's these sort of subtle differences that make modern misogyny so difficult to identify and thus combat. Stone says she tries to avoid conflict over these mostly unintentional gaffes because rifts in such a small scene can leave long-term scars.
These women's proposed solutions to the specter of sonic sexism involve respect. Udero, Stone and Wren all speak hopefully about building a scene where respecting and supporting other artists' work and intentions is the norm.
Sexism is not hip. If you choose to embrace American nostalgia, there are more productive and forward-thinking ways of doing so: Collect vintage vinyl rather than reviving anachronistic paternalism. While a lot of the thought processes that lead to sexist behavior are deeply—and even subconsciously—

Washington Post Fails To Ask NBC's Rick Cotton Any Tough Questions
from the ah,-the-press dept
Instead... she basically accepts his (extremely faulty) premise that all copyright infringement is evil and must be stopped at all costs, talking about how ACTA is "evidence of progress," with a brief aside that "some public interest groups don't like" ACTA. But, then we get to the questions, which are basically "please give us all your talking points, and I won't challenge you on a single one of them." It kicks off with this one:
How do you think Washington needs to approach such a big problem?But, uh, is it really a problem? I mean, this interview takes place just a week or so after the GAO pointed out that the claims of losses from folks like Rick Cotton are basically made up and that there's little evidence to support them. The next question suggests the entire problem is with everyone else on the internet and not, say, NBC's failure to adapt its business model:
What would be a wake-up call for those users to make them change their behavior?Why not ask when will NBC wake up and fix its business model?
From there, the interview veers into Cotton's favorite talking point: that ISPs should be forced to police the interwebs, because his company is too incompetent to do so itself. None of the questions really challenge the basic premise of what he's saying. They only weakly push back, questioning why ISPs would want to do that. The only question that touches on pushback is when she notes that deep packet inspection could be misused, which Cotton brushes off.
But, really, the final question is the kicker. It's sort of the opposite of the "and when did you stop beating your wife" variety, in that it sets up a totally false premise as a layup for Cotton:
Are you saying the opponents of the Anti-counterfeiting Trade Agreement aren't offering solutions?To which Cotton slams the ball home by lying:
Yes. They are about just saying no. No is the only answer. That is not only not constructive, I think it is actively destructive. What strikes me is that everyone marvels at technology of a search engine that can go out and identify 10 million returns in 0.002 of a second. But they say that that same technology has nothing to contribute or can only be a destructive force.But, of course, none of that is true, and you would think that a reporter for the Washington Post would be armed with the facts to question such blatantly wrong talking points. Opponents of ACTA have detailed over and over again the serious problems of what's in it. They've talked about the faulty premise that Kang and Cotton keep up through the whole interview that infringement is a legal problem that requires getting the gov't to prop up NBC, rather than a business model problem of NBC refusing to adapt to a changing market.
Opponents of ACTA offer up all sorts of solutions: starting with NBC no longer running to the government demanding protection, but instead updating its business model and focusing on offering more products that its customers actually want. This was an incredibly disappointing interview. I would have expected better.

The Filibuster
It's recently occurred to me that Albert [Pujols] is on pace to challenge Maris'
single season HR mark. If he does this he becomes the first player NOT
implicated in steroids or other PED's to do so. Should baseball make a
bigger deal out of this? I kind of doubt MLB would (it would look like
they were admitting Bonds and Sosa's and McGwire's big home run years
were illegitimate), but baseball fans should be rejoicing in what has
quietly become a potentially historic season.
Your thoughts?
Chicago, IL
As arrogant and scapegoating as MLB's front offices are, we would be much better off betting our 401k's that Sarah Palin will become the next president than we would on MLB making any mention of this highly inconvenient fact. But that does not mean we, the fans, and other knowledgeable folks can't start stirring up some serious crap.
And who shall be our leader in this sanctimonious crusade?
For those of you who tuned into the MLB Network on Thursday night to watch the Mets get blown out by the Dodgers, you already know what I'm talking about. For the rest of you, let me fill you in…
Inspired by the overhyped drama of Manny's first series in New York after his embarrassing steroid reveal, Bob Costas came out to his colleague Jim Kaat and declared that McGwire's record, Bonds' record and the rest of those monumentally tainted blips of prestige could be thrown out and dismissed entirely by any Joe Fan — any human being capable of understanding how marred the game had become during the 'steroid era' — and that according to such logical folks, Roger Maris' 61 and Hank Aaron's 755 still stood as the true records — the unclouded, inarguable, uncontested homerun records of Major League Baseball.
MLB won't ever tell you anything like that.
Bob Costas will.
And did.
Is it fair to knock Major League Baseball for doing what is really the only logical thing they can do given the circumstances? No. Probably not.
But fair is a relative concept — one no one (including me, I admit) had the balls to contest when guys like Ivan Rodriguez and Rafael Palmeiro and Paul Lo Duca were raking dingers like I chug Bud Light on the weekends.
Still, as a lowly MLBlogger, I adhere to my spawning necessity to stir up a bunch of crap for no good reason, hoping someone will actually take notice, even if I do contradict my own penned tirades from time to time.
But, Ted, let me tell ya, I'm rejoicing, man. And in my world, Roger Maris is at the top (except for that one moment back in '98 when McGwire took Steve Trachsel deep at Busch II) and Hank Aaron is tops too because I simply cannot stand Barry Bonds, his runaway forehead, or his smug crybaby I'm-the-victim routine.
I'm a US American! It's in my blood to flip-flop; it's in yours too and you know it.
So go ahead and hate me 'cuz I'm a greasy s***talker, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
Something on your mind? Want to see Jeff and Al sweat (separately, not together, eww)? Think you got a real stumper? Send us your Filibuster question(s) by commenting or emailing them to us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dog training presents many challenges along the way and none more so than when training a German Shepherd. There are specific techniques needed, but the good news is that they are easily learned and the whole process can be incredibly rewarding.
Although we tend to associate this breed with policing and watch dogs, this is an extremely loyal and intelligent breed. Those who have been trained make superb pets and are great with kids.
The Alpha dog will always be instinctively sought out by the German Shepherd. This instinct came in very useful in their original roles when they were used to herd their owners' sheep.
Being a strong figure of authority to a little puppy may seem hard, but for the training to succeed you need to take on the alpha role. You puppy needs to know who's boss.
At the same time, only remonstrate them through tone of voice, never hit your puppy. These dogs are extremely sensitive creatures and physical abuse can leave them mentally scarred for life.
Be firm and strong and don't lose your temper when your puppy is naughty. They will soon learn who is boss if you are firm but fair, a change in your tone of voice will soon be all that your dog needs to know he has gone too far.
All dogs love to be praised, and your German Shepherd will soon know the tones of voice for doing well and doing wrong. Praise is an essential part of training; they will be even keener to please you if they know they will be rewarded in this way. This builds a great rapport between you and your dog.

Better bale wrap Presto Products claims that its Nutrigard Bale Wrap has higher UV ratings, a greater degree of stretch and a new cold cling package that allows the film to re-adhere to itself in cold weather. The wrap is available in rolls of 20 in. x 6,000 ft., 30 in. x 5,000 ft. and 48- and 60-in.-wide rolls. The company says a 4 x 4 bale costs about $2.50 to wrap. Contact Presto Products Co., Dept. FIN, Box 2399, Appleton, WI 54912, 800/558-3525.
Economy-size balers Farmers with small, irregularly shaped hay fields may want to check out the Star MR 1000 hay baler, built in Japan. The unit is a small version of a conventional hay baler and operates on a small tractor with just a minimum of 15 hp. The bale chamber measures 12_1/2 x 16_1/2 in. Price: $16,000.
Also available is a small round baler, the MRB849, producing 28- x 20-in. bales. List price: $9,450. Contact Agriquip Inc., Dept. FIN, Box 250, Lindale, GA 30147, 706/234-0454.
Move bales in numbers by Roxanne Furlong Two new hauling units can speed bale pickup and help keep bales in neat, organized rows for storage.
Ring around the bale. The Bale Porter from McFarlane Manufacturing boasts a hydraulically powered carriage that you back up to the bale. The carriage slides around the bale and is raised up, and you move on to the next bale for pickup.
Bales stay in place when the carriage is in the raised position; to unload, simply lower the carriage and drive away. The unit can handle up to five 5-ft.-long round bales or six 4-ft. bales. It can handle all types of twine- and surface-wrapped bales, according to the company. Price: not available at press time. Contact McFarlane Mfg. Co., Dept. FIN, Box 100, Sauk City, WI 53583, 800/627-8569.
Lift and go. Speed up hay hauling with Savage's new Bale Shuttle. The unit makes bale pickup a one-person operation; you hitch the shuttle to a tractor or pickup to load up to eight bales of hay, depending on the model.
To pick up bales, simply back up to a row of bales; two lifters pull bales up to the shuttle. A hydraulic swing-out hitch attachment offsets the shuttle so you can drive up to the row of bales for an even easier pickup job. It's available in several lengths to pick up three, six or eight bales at once or individually. Price: $4,500 for a three-bale unit; $8,500 for a six-bale unit. Price for an eight-bale unit is not available. Price for swing-out attachment: $500. Contact Savage, Dept. FIN, 400 Industrial Rd., Madill, OK 73446, 580/795-3394.
Nutrition for life Kent Feeds offers a new dairy program, Attain, that features nutrition to help throughout the cow's life.
Active Starter 18 DQ45 is a calf starter to help develop the rumen during the first two months of life. Fresh Aide helps bring the cows up on feed pre- and post-freshening and compensate for depression in dry matter intake. Fever Guard is used in pre-fresh rations in herds where milk fevers exceed 5% and forages are high in potassium. Microbe Plus 38 is a 38% protein, high rumen undegraded protein (RUP) supplement with a lysine-to-methionine ratio (key acids for milk production). Pro Vider 38, also 38% protein, provides the correct balance of RUP and rumen degraded protein (RDP) for corn-silage-based rations. Contact Kent Feeds Inc., Dept. FIN, 1600 Oregon St., Muscatine, IA 52761, 800/552-9620.
Healthy start for calves Chr. Hansen BioSystems introduces a new product to help calves get off to a healthy start. Probios Microbial Calf Pac is a direct-fed microbial that can be fed in milk replacers, in other fluids or on creep feed. The company suggests that the product may be used as an alternative to antibiotics in milk replacers for the newborn calf.
The microbial product contains bacteria that can help the calf maintain a healthy lactic acid bacteria population in the gut, which helps stave off scours and dysentery.
The recommended daily amount of Calf Pac is 3 gal./head, and it is best fed in the first 28 days of life. The product is a powder that comes in 3- and 20-lb. buckets; cost is $0.04/day/head. Contact Chr. Hansen BioSystems, Dept. FIN, 9015 W. Maple St., Milwaukee, WI 53214-4298, 888/828-6600.
Better spreader Knight Manufacturing just came up with an idea to sling bedding from its slinger spreader so that it lands exactly where you want it.
The Bedder Spreader basically keeps bedding material shooting downward as it exits the spreader. It is a retrofit attachment for any Slinger spreader (even as old as the 700 model). It is simply a deflector plate that can be adjusted hydraulically from the cab to angle the blown bedding. Any bedding material can be used, including composted manure, sand, sawdust, straw, corn fodder or any other free-flowing material, according to the company. Price: $350. Contact Knight Mfg. Corp., Dept. FIN, Box 167, Brodhead, WI 53520, 608/897-2131.
New line of electrolytes Vets Plus introduces a new line of electrolytes called Revitilyte to help prevent calf sickness or death. A top dress or feed additive, Dairy Plus Concentrate is used 10 days before freshening on through the first 90 days of lactation to stimulate the rumen and appetite and boost the immune system to help increase milk production. Also, Agri Plus Keto-Nia-Drench is a liquid oral supplement with niacin to lower the occurrence of ketosis in cows, boost the cow's energy and help stimulate appetite. Contact Vets Plus Inc., Dept.

The brochure also states that although a geotextile area requires some maintenance and can't withstand as much traffic or cleaning as concrete, it can be installed for about one-third the cost. Price: $4 (includes postage) plus 5_1/2% sales tax for Minnesota residents. Contact University of Minnesota, Dept.

What pressure: tips for buying a washer 1. Gas models are the best choice for big jobs that require power. They start with a psi of 1,500 and go as high as 3,500. They are more portable and are not bound by electric cords. 2. The optimum spray angle is 45 degrees. Avoid spraying the surface "head on" because that tends to imbed the dirt particles in the surface. The wider the spray angle, the lower its ability to cut through dirt. 3. Tips for nozzle tips: A wide pattern (40 degrees to 60 degrees) distributes the impact of water over a large area. A fan pattern (15 degrees to 25 degrees) is the best choice for cleaning large flat surfaces. A narrow stream pattern (0 degrees) is best used for removing paint or tough dirt and for maximum deep cleaning in a concentrated area and is best suited for cleaning masonry or brick.
Better washing Cleaning livestock buildings is easy with any of these new cold- or hot-water pressure washers.
Belt-driven Hotsy. Hotsy offers hot-water units, including model 790 with its 3-gal. water capacity and 2,000 psi. It includes a belt-drive engine, a first for portable washers. The dual-belt drive provides smooth operation and reliability. The new model also includes a floattank to maintain constant water pressure and flow. The washer with pneumatic tires maneuvers easily over pavement and rough surfaces. It retails for $3,850. A larger model, the 1070, provides 4 gal. of water capacity and 3,000 psi. It retails for $4,895. Contact Hotsy Corp., Dept. FIN, 21 Inverness Way E., Englewood, CO 80112-5796, 800/525-1976.
Dirt under pressure. This gas-powered pressure washer from Campbell Hausfeld, model PW2455, is driven by a 6-hp Briggs and Stratton Intek OHV engine. A professional-style gun and lance dispense 2_1/2 gpm at 2,400 psi. It has a 25-ft. high-pressure hose for extra range and reach.
If the washer is left in bypass mode too long, heat can build up and damage the pump; a thermal relief valve eliminates any heated water from the pump to allow cool water to enter and cool it off. Suggested retail: $450. Contact Campbell Hausfeld, Dept. FIN, 100 Production Dr., Harrison, OH 45030, 888/247-6737.
Less fat, more filling, better value Now you can get your hogs to lose the fat without losing lean and get them to market weight in fewer days on less feed, with less waste. This, according to Elanco, can be achieved by using its new FDA-approved feed ingredient Paylean, which contains ractopamine hydrochloride (a compound developed by the company).
It directs nutrients away from the fat of the animal to increase lean pork. After 10 years of testing, results show that hogs fed Paylean: * Gained 11 lbs. more lean pork; * Had 7 lbs. less fat; * Required 41 lbs. less feed; * Took four fewer days to reach market weight; and * Produced 40 lbs. less manure.
Paul Abbott, communications associate for Elanco Animal Health, says that the FDA approved the ingredient without a withdrawal period. "That just shows how safe it really is," he says. "And, this is not a hormone, it's not a GM [genetic modification] and it's not an antibiotic.
"We had trained testers taste fresh loin and smoked ham from pigs fed Paylean and they did not detect any differences in the juiciness, tenderness or flavor compared to meat from pigs that were not fed the ingredient," Abbott claims.
It can be fed to one pig or 10,000. The company expects to have quantities available in the second quarter of this year. Contact Elanco Animal Health, Dept. FIN, 500 E. 96th St., Suite 125, Indianapolis, IN 46240, 800/428-4441.

Clarifying NIST's role in evaluating voting systems
Regarding my recent post about the Electronic voting systems, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), HAVA, and the EAC: I received an email correcting and amending my post, and thought I should share it here.
The reports and materials referenced in the NY Times story are available at NIST's website.
I've been told that the report which garnered so much press coverage is not an official NIST document. To quote from the email:
Though not available on the EAC site, the reports are available on the NIST site (. I want to take a minute to point out though that the original report authored by NIST and the Security and Transparency Subcommittee (STS) of the TGDC (
Most importantly though, the TGDC adopted as well as voted down a number of resolutions:
Thanks to the contact! We at election updates are always trying to keep things accurate and informative. We appreciate it when we're emailed corrections and amendments. Keep them coming!

For All The Cyberwar Talk, Turns Out There Have Been Fewer Attacks On The Pentagon's Network
from the cyberlull dept
Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn, who's been leading the charge for why the Pentagon should be in charge of cybersecurity, recently claimed that the frequency was increasing exponentially. Except that's not true, apparently. The NSA, who is the main group within the Defense Department that wants to handle cybersecurity, apparently had its boss specifically (falsely) claim that he was "alarmed by the increase, especially this year." Of course, there are still plenty of attacks -- no one is denying that, but it's even more evidence that the folks looking to use this to gain more power are clearly exaggerating what's going on.

An un-named breeder voluntarily surrendered 37 dogs to the Kansas Department of Agriculture and Animal Health Division Tuesday.
Those dogs were supposed to be taken to shelters for adoption — but most of them were put to sleep. Due to old age and poor health, 26 of the 27 were put to sleep. Seven of them are now at Caring Hands, awaiting adoption.
The breeder gave up two different breeds — Lhasa Apsos and Chihuahuas. The Chihauhuas went to a different shelter. Caring Hands took in seven Lhasa Apsos — most of them about three years old.
The breeder gave up 22 Lhasa Apsos and 15 Chihuahuas. Caring Hands Humane Society was expecting to rescue approximately 17 of the dogs. When they dogs came, there were seven.
When the animals arrived at Caring Hands, staff will closed the facility to the public. According to a news release, the facility was closed to prevent undue stress to the animals.
All of the dogs rescued Tuesday are available for viewing today.
Caring Hands is seeking new homes for each of the dogs — though not allowing online adoption of them. Those wishing to adopt must complete the application in person.
Caring Hands Humane Society is a private not for profit Humane Society located at 1400 S.E. Third in Newton. For more information call (316) 283-0839 or visit www.caringhandshs.org.

The printer says it can't recognize some print cartridges and asks you to replace them. You replace them, but nothing happends. After fiddling around with it for a while, eventually it works, but another cartridge shows the error. Possible Solutions:
1. Pull the plug. Take the energy away from the printer to reset the memory. Leave it without power for a few minutes. Try not turning it off first.
2. Reset the chips. This often happens with replacement ink or canon chips on replacement ink tanks. Go to the ink store, they usually have chip resetters.
3. Clean the contacts on the printer and the ink chips with ISOPROPYL Alcohol.
AT YOUR OWN RISK! If nothing works, try Canon original ink. If that doesn't work, contact Canon. Good luck!

Nov. 21, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - A 20-point run during a five-minute span in the second half helped propel MIT to a 73-55 victory over Anna Maria College in a non-conference women's basketball game on Tuesday night. Christa Margossian posted 18 points and a game-high 20 rebounds, marking the second time this season she totaled 20 boards for the Engineers (2-1).
MIT opened the game with seven unanswered points before a pair of free throws by Juliana Eagles put the Amcats (0-1) on the board 2:18 into the contest. Meghan DePatsy cut the deficit to three (7-4) almost a minute later, but the Engineers responded with a 15-5 run that ended on Margossian's lay up with 6:40 on the clock. Tech entered the intermission with a 33-23 advantage, however, despite struggling from the floor, Anna Maria stayed within striking distance on strong free-throw shooting as it tallied 14 points from the charity stripe.
The Amcats found success from the floor early in the second stanza as they narrowed the margin to six (37-31) at the 14:14 mark. Anna Maria maintained its offensive pressure, trailing 48-40 with 8:52 to go. A minute later, Michal Ruchelsman's jumper sparked MIT's pivotal run that sealed the game.
Sharon Prange posted 15 points and nine rebounds as Clara Yuan registered 11 points for the Engineers. Samantha O'Keefe contributed 10 points coming off the bench as Kimberly Soo Hoo dished out six assists.
Tina Oliveri led all scorers with 20 points while Meghan DePatsy notched 15 points and 10 rebounds. Juliana Eagles posted 13 points as Megan Bailey finished with 10 boards.
Both teams return to action on Tuesday, Nov. 28. MIT will host Wentworth Institute of Technology at 7:00 p.m. while Anna Maria will travel to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy for a 5:30 p.m. start.

Our world has fast changed, rather very fast. For example, if we dig into the financial sector, then just within a few decades tremendous change has taken place, and all for the benefit of the end users. Even a decad back, while Travel, one had to keep in mind; or rather he had to invest quite a bit of his time thinking about monetary issues, such as how much cash to carry, or how to exchange the currency notes in a foreign land, and so on. As global commerce grew, and the world began to be smitten by the aura of a global village, this problem gained serious proportions. But just as desperate times calls for desperate measures, this problem also got an ingenious solution to it- in the form of a rectangular small piece of plastic. This small rectangular piece of plastic, or as we all know today as the credit card, revolutionized the entire domain of business and cross country transactions.
Credit cards not only eased the burden of carrying cash, and exchanging it into local currency, but the boom it created directly helped business and commerce to flourish. And most importantly, it won't be an exaggeration to say that the rapid introduction of credit cards in our diction and discourse gave birth to a whole new breed of Travel - the shoppers or the food vacations. Say for example you have come to Maihar for certain official or business interaction, and the entire tour has been on a very short notice. In such a situation, it is beyond any doubt that the Visa credit cards would come handy, and would bail you out in any such situation.
Credit cards are classified in accordance to the various added benefits it fetches along with serving its key purpose - to ease the burden of carrying cash while Travel. Credit cards are thus categorized into segments such as gold, platinum or silver, and as the name suggests; the platinum ones fetch more added benefits to the user than a normal silver one. Also the credit cards belonging to the platinum series have global acceptance. So as to say, a tourist from Alabama could easily purchase stuffs from a departmental store in India, using the globally accepted Visa credit card.
The benefit of a Visa credit card is not only limited to its easy usage anywhere on this big round globe, rather it comes with a wide array of added benefits such as assured cash back on Travel, deduction in the dining bill, and gradual increase of the credit limit with time. Thus the introduction of credit cards, especially the Visa ones has not only eased Travel in its entirety, but it has also opened newer pastures for trade and commerce. The Visa credit cards have made sure that you never fail to buy token gifts for your near and dear ones while on a foreign tour, a thing which was near to an adventure even a few decades back.
This credit card boom has helped in the economic development of middle income nations such as India, with cities such as Maihar becoming the trade and commerce hub. And the global clientele armed with digital currency have helped to revamp the nation in a new direction with its strong economic development. The credit card boom has also led to the growth of cashless economy throughout the globe, which in turn has led to massive development of the middle and low income countries.

ATLANTA (AP) - Mike Minor won for just the second time in 12 starts and the Atlanta Braves overcame 104-degree heat to beat Stephen Strasburg and the Washington Nationals 7-5 on Saturday.
Strasburg (9-3) left after just three innings because of weather-related issues. He didn't return to begin the fourth, tying for the shortest outing of his 33-start career.
Braves officials reported no major health problems among the announced crowd of 26,491. The team credited eight free water stations at Turner Field with helping fans cool off.
Strasburg allowed two hits, three runs and four walks. Throwing 36 of his 67 pitches for strikes, Strasburg struck out four to reach 122, most in the majors.
Strasburg took extra time between pitches and walked slowly between innings. He left trailing 3-2 after the Braves' three-run third.

Dang. We know Jeremy is a bit of a crank and prone to bouts of overwrought, under-accurate vitriol, but he actually goes on record saying he would prefer a goat to the new Mini Clubman. Not a GTO mind you, but a can-eating goat. Why? Well, one reason is England-only (and Japan, and OZ) — the 3rd half-door is on the driver's side over in Old Blighty (snicker). His other reasons — massive torque steer, no rear-visibility, a natural predilection to cruise at 110 mph — well, Clarkson doesn't like any of that. As always, we're reserving judgment until we drive the
little medium squirt. However, we will pass judgment on the following:
Please have a wonderful Christmas. Drink too much. Eat too much. Don't feel guilty about the presents you give or those that you receive. Care not for your carbon footprint or the impact of your naked consumerism. Be happy. And remember, you are having a much better time than Gordon Brown because he has no friends and you've got lots.
Brilliant! Happy New Years, y'all. [Times Online]

Exercising with sport modes
Use sport modes (see Sport modes) to record exercise logs and view various information during your exercise.
You can access the sport modes under Exercise menu by pressing .
Using Suunto Smart Sensor
A Bluetooth® Smart compatible heart rate sensor, such as the Suunto Smart Sensor, can be used with your Suunto Ambit3 Peak to give you more detailed information about your exercise intensity.
While exercising, the heart rate sensor enables:
- heart rate in real time
- average heart rate in real time
- heart rate in graph form
- calories burned during exercise
- guidance to exercise within defined heart rate limits
- Peak Training Effect
And after exercise, the heart rate sensor provides:
- total calories burned during exercise
- average heart rate
- peak heart rate
- recovery time
If you use the Suunto Smart Sensor, you also have the added advantage of heart rate memory. The Suunto Smart Sensor memory function buffers data whenever the transmission to your Suunto Ambit3 Peak is interrupted.
This allows you to get accurate exercise intensity information in activities such as swimming where water blocks the transmission. It also means you can even leave your Suunto Ambit3 Peak behind after starting a recording. For more information, please refer to the Suunto Smart Sensor User Guide.
Without a heart rate sensor, your Suunto Ambit3 Peak provides calorie consumption and recovery time for running and cycling activities where speed is used to estimate intensity. However, we recommend using a heart rate sensor to get accurate intensity readings.
Refer to the user guide for Suunto Smart Sensor or other Bluetooth Smart compatible heart rate sensor for additional information.
Putting on Suunto Smart Sensor
To start using the Suunto Smart Sensor:
- Snap the sensor firmly into the strap connector.
- Adjust the strap length as needed.
- Moisten the strap electrode areas with water or electrode gel.
- Put the strap on so that it fits snugly and the Suunto logo is facing up.
The Smart Sensor turns on automatically when it detects a heart beat.
Wear the strap against your bare skin for best results.
Refer to the Suunto Smart Sensor User Guide for additional information and troubleshooting.
Dry skin under the belt electrodes, a loose belt, and synthetic shirt materials can cause abnormally high heart rate readings. Moisten the belt electrodes well and tighten the belt to avoid heart rate peaks. If you are otherwise concerned about your heart rate, please consult a doctor.
Starting an exercise
To start exercising:
- Press to enter the start menu.
- Press Exercise. to enter
- Scroll the sport mode options with or and select a suitable mode with .
- The watch automatically starts searching for a heart rate belt signal, if the selected sport mode uses a heart rate belt. Wait for the watch to notify that the heart rate and/or GPS signal have been found, or press Later. The watch continues to search the heart rate/GPS signal. to select
- Press to start recording your exercise. To access additional options while exercising, keep pressed.
During exercise
Suunto Ambit3 Peak gives you a wealth of information during your exercise. The information varies depending on the sport mode you have selected (see Sport modes). You get even more information, if you use a heart rate belt and GPS during exercise.
Here are some ideas on how to use the watch during exercise:
- Press to see scroll through your sport mode displays.
- Press to see different information the bottom row of the display.
- To avoid accidentally stopping your log recording or making unwanted laps, lock the buttons by keeping pressed.
- Press to pause recording. To resume recording, press again.
Recording tracks
Depending on the sport mode you have selected, your Suunto Ambit3 Peak allows you to record various information during exercise.
If your sport mode has GPS enabled, Suunto Ambit3 Peak also records your track during your exercise. You can view the track in Movescount as part of the recorded Move and export it as a route to use later.
Making laps
During your exercise, you can make laps either manually or automatically by setting the autolap interval in Movescount. When you are making laps automatically, Suunto Ambit3 Peak records the laps based on the distance you have specified in Movescount.
To make laps manually, pressduring the exercise.
Suunto Ambit3 Peak shows you the following information:
- top row: split time (duration from the start of the log)
- middle row: lap number
- bottom row: lap time
The exercise summary always shows at least one lap, your exercise from start to finish. The laps you have made during the exercise are shown as additional laps.
Navigating during exercise
If you want to run a route or to a point of interest (POI), you can select a sport mode, such as Run a Route, and begin navigating immediately.
You can also navigate a route or to a POI during your exercise in other sport modes that have GPS activated.
To navigate during exercise:
- While you are in a sport mode with GPS activated, keep pressed to access the options menu.
- Press navigation. to select
- Scroll to POIs (Points of interest) or Routes with and select with .
The navigation guidance is shown as the last display on the selected sport mode.
To deactivate navigation, go back to Navigation in the options menu and select End navigation.
If the GPS accuracy setting (see GPS accuracy and power saving) of your sport mode is Good or lower, while navigating GPS accuracy switches to Best. Battery consumption is therefore higher.
Using compass during exercise
You can activate the compass and add it to a custom sport mode during your exercise.
To use the compass during exercise:
- While you are in a sport mode, keep pressed to access the options menu.
- Scroll to Activate with and select with .
- Scroll to Compass with and select with .
- The compass is shown as the last display on the custom sport mode.
To deactivate the compass, go back to Activate in the options menu and select End compass.
Setting altitude during exercise
If you do not want to use FusedAlti (see FusedAlti) and know exactly what your current elevation is (for instance, from a sign on a well-traveled mountain trail), you can set your manually set your altitude while recording an exercise. Manually setting the altitude turns off FusedAlti if it was on.
To set your altitude during exercise:
- While you are in a sport mode, keep pressed to access the options menu.
- Scroll to ALTI-BARO with and select with .
- Select Altitude with .
- Set your altitude using and .
- Accept and exit by keeping pressed.

Any issues w/ scheduling? Chelsea faces Tottenham in the FA semis just before the CL home game, then plays Arsenal in a crucial Premiership match which they desperately need to win to catch up to Tottenham, and then the CL away game.
That's a lot of high pressure match-ups over 11 days or so.

my point was..i do not care if this game is a rivalry or not...if Chelsea can't beat Fulham....they have 0 shot of competing with Barca.
Keep daydreaming chelseafan. April 18th and the Spaniards are going to take a garbage in your mouth.

Tuesday night at Draper Diamond Auburn right-hander Anna Thompson held the Lady Bisons to only three hits, but she could not get the shut out, settling for a 5-1 win. The Lady Bisons wore green T-shirts in celebration of St. Patrick's Day, but the luck of the Irish couldn't help them.
Thompson, 11-5, threw a complete game, striking out 10.
The Lady Bisons got two hits in the third inning on singles by Lauren Dortwegt and Courtney Billington.
The third hit was in the sixth inning. After Kellie Sirus walked with two outs Abby Keese hit a fly over the head of Auburn's center fielder for an RBI-double.
It was the 23rd RBI of the season for Keese who had a team-high 37 runs batted in last season. Keese, who had a nine-game hitting streak earlier in the season, has a three-game streak, the longest current streak on the team.
The run prevented the Lady Bisons from suffering their second shut out of the season. Their only previous shut out loss was Feb. 14, a 4-0 loss to Nicholls State in the Louisiana Classics Tournament.
Auburn quickly took control offensively with one run in the first, two in the second and two in the third.
Alaina Jacobson, 6-3, started the game for the Lady Bisons. In the third inning with no outs and two Auburn runners on base Whitney Kiihnl entered the game. She walked the first batter she faced to load the bases and then walked the next batter she faced to bring in a run. Auburn would score their second run of the inning and the final run of the game on a wild pitch.
After that rough start Kiihnl settled down and struck out the side to end the inning.
She held Auburn scoreless the rest of the way, striking out seven, scattering three hits and walking three in five innings.
It was the lowest hit total of the season for the Lady Bisons who came into the game with 10 hits in each of their previous two games. The Lady Bisons had four hits against Nicholls State in the 4-0 loss.
The Lady Bisons face Bradley Wednesday at Draper Diamond in a doubleheader starting at 2 p.m.

:( since that terrible terrible day that our precious Minnie was taken from us so violently, I have not been able to take Cara out for a walk. Well, I actually went out once to the beach and as soon as a large dog came along, I started hyper-ventilating and sobbing. Derry had to take me home. I also tried going to the park and walking on my own, which was fine , but as soon as I saw Derry and Cara coming towards me I spotted the GS type dog on the other side of the path and again, I totally lost it.
I just don't know what to do.
Anybody got any suggestions please?

While JT Lambert's Science Olympiad program has been active for many years, the one at East Stroudsburg High School South is only eight years old but is headed to states for the second year in a row, having placed fifth at regionals.
While J.T. Lambert's Science Olympiad program has been active for many years, the one at East Stroudsburg High School South is only eight years old but is headed to states for the second year in a row, having placed fifth at regionals.
"Those students at JTL never had a program once they got to the high school," said Fred Ridner, a biology teacher who decided to start the South team in 2005 and saw it reach state finals last year for the first time. "We've improved pretty much every year.
"This year is particularly challenging because we had a core group of seniors graduate last year, and it was sad to see those guys go."
Most of last year's seniors have gone on to study in a scientific field at the collegiate level, including Josh Cohen, studying engineering at Drexel; Lena Yang at the University of Pennsylvania; and 2012 valedictorian Andy Glusiec at Rensselaer Polytechnic.
"Josh had a goal to get the team to states before he graduated," said Sheila Bove, the coach at JTL. "There are over 600 Science Olympiad Teams in Pennsylvania His senior year, the high school team made it to states for the first time — one of 36 teams, six teams from six regions in the C (high school) division."
Of the four cerebral seniors on this year's team, only one — Anna Long — has competed in Science Olympiad the past four years. The other three had not previously competed at the high school level.
"Ana Cohen never had time in her schedule," Ridner said. "I think Josh (Cohen, her older brother, a Science Olympiad champion for seven years) gave her a little bit of pressure. Atta Ebrahimi is actually in his first year doing this, and Tim Stewart competed at JTL, then never picked it up til this year."
Just like at the middle school level, the high school team is composed of 15 students competing in 23 categories.
And just as at the middle school level, there are two types of events, building and testing. The categories remain the same, but the challenges are a bit more sophisticated at the older level.
"These are the cream-of-the-crop kids that are in a million other activities and put the time in — not just a week before a competition, but several months in advance in some cases," Ridner said. "We begin meeting in early October, once a week until we get closer to the competitions, and then twice a week."
Assistant coach Pat Bixler, an environmental science teacher at the South high school, is dedicated to helping the team prepare. Some students also make time to work with JTL team members after school and on Saturdays, including sisters Ana and Carina Cohen and brothers Lachie and Charlie Peeke.
"�ur goal is once again to be in the top 10," Ridner said. "It's a tough feat. Last year, we were just happy to be there. It was the icing on the cake when we broke the top 10."
The high school team celebrated another first this year: winning the Mountain Valley Competition held at Northampton Community College in early March.
"Even with last year's team being as good as it was, we lost by one point to Lehighton, but this year we finally got it," said Ridner, beaming.
Team members are: Micah Cloward, Carina Cohen, Ana Cohen, Sara Anderson, Angelika Wyzlic, Anna Long, Ryan Burke, Dan Nasirullah, Josh Del Toro, Lach Peeke, Charles Peeke, Anish Bhagwat, Tim Stewart, Atta Ebrahimi and Tim Burke.

Why does almost every CS program in the world teach exclusively with java. They have electives where you can learn the basics of other languages but the classes are not very in depth. I understand that it's good to focus on one language and that after learning one you can easily pickup more languages, but why is there no choice to study CS using any other language? And who decided java was the best language to learn CS with? I personally like C++ much better, but regardless of my preferences I feel like I should have more choices.
I already know several languages better than I do java, just from books and online resources so I dont feel like I'm missing out to much. Is java what is used in the majority of jobs, and if so what makes it more prevelant than any other language?
