Because it's sea-cucumber porn. A solo scene. That's what this is. Straight up, hardcore sea-cucumber smut. For this is how sea-cucumbers reproduce, by raising their front ends and releasing sperm (or eggs) well clear of the ocean floor, where fertilization can take place. Plus there's just something inherently pornographic about a creature with a big'ol gonad (relative to the rest of its body) but no brain. And then there's the fact that it's basically a big, waving phallus, unloading a long string of sexual fluids.
Spotted on boingboing, under a pretty fantastic headline.

After finishing my talk for the National Eisteddfod I went back to working on the Atlanterra Project. As part of the work I need to carry out for the project I have to prepare entries for Coflein.
Coflein http://www.coflein.gov.uk/ is the online database for the National Monuments Record of Wales (NMRW), the national collection of information about the historic environment of Wales. The name is derived from the Welsh cof (memory) and lein (line). Coflein allows access to details of many thousands of archaeological sites, monuments, buildings and maritime sites in Wales, together with an index to the drawings, manuscripts and photographs held in the NMRW archive collections.
The survey work at Maenofferen Slate Mine (see earlier blog post) involved recording all the standing buildings and structures for 'preservation by record'. Each of the standing buildings or structures is given a number – known as an NPRN – and each of the standing buildings or structures requires a site description entry.
Some of these entries can be quite simple, and describe the general history of the site, and any other documents which might have been consulted in writing the entry. Other entries can be much more complex and describe in significant detail the building or structure and any modifications or rebuilds it may have gone through during its life.
Maenofferen Slate Mine is a very complex site and is still in operation today. Given that the site began working in the 1860s, there are several phases which need understanding and writing up. The rest of the afternoon was spent checking through entries I'd already written, and making sure I'd got an entry for each of the buildings and structures which needed them – and also ensuring that I'd checked all the Ordnance Survey maps on our GIS (Geographical Information System) for anything which might not have been recorded on the maps, plans and photographs I'd already looked at.
On the train journey home I was looking over a series of articles written on medieval licences to crenellate – which was a grant that gave permission for a building to be fortified. I was trying to see whether any of the castles I am looking at were given licences to crenellate, and I found one – so I'll have to get the full reference for it so I can use it in my PhD.
The last bit of work I did this evening was to write this blog entry and a final check of my e-mails. Tomorrow is the weekend, but I'll still be working on the papers I was reading through on the train this morning. And really, that's why I'm an archaeologist. I'm fascinated by people and how they lived their lives, and I enjoy reading about them whether its the weekend or not.

The New Exalted Marches were the armed conflicts that engulfed the majority of Thedas across Steel Age and Storm Age.
The First Qunari War[edit | edit source]
In 6:30 Steel a race of white-haired, bronze-skinned giants previously unknown to Thedosians – called Qunari – landed on the shores of Par Vollen, which loosely belonged to the Tevinter Imperium at the time. With their heavily armored and trained warriors and powerful cannons, the Qunari quickly and decisively conquered the native people of the region. From the survivors, the Qunari reeducated many to their philosophy the Qun. Those who refused to cooperate disappeared to mines or construction camps.[1]
Word of Qunari invasion didn't reach the rest of Thedas until 6:32 Steel when the Qunari invasion began as their ships berth in great numbers at the coasts of Seheron and northern Rivain. The conflict became known as the First Qunari War,[1] one of many Qunari Wars to follow.
Conquest of the north[edit | edit source]
Within two years the invaders spread to Antiva, and captured Treviso in 6:34 Steel as the Qunari's initial advances were great. After they had conquered much of the Tevinter Imperium, Rivain, and Antiva; the Qunari began to assault the Free Marches far to the south of the Imperium, only ten years into the invasion. Only Minrathous itself remained besieged but unconquered in the north.[2]
The invading Qunari did not kill their prisoners, but instead converted the defeated to their rigoristic Qun. All the successful converts became Qunari and fueled their ranks.
Liberation of the north[edit | edit source]
By 6:85 Steel, 55 years after the Qunari had been first seen in Thedas, the humans had organized themselves and pushed back. Humans rebelled from Qunari captivity all over the Tevinter Imperium, and the Qunari's hold began to loosen.[2]
The war continued for the rest of the century, and into the next one. After nearly a quarter of a century, in 7:23 Storm, the Qunari were pushed back to Seheron and Rivain, but still held on to those regions tightly.[2]
The Battle of the Nocen Sea was the largest naval engagement in history and resulted in a stalemate and the destruction of many ships on both sides. With both sides exhausted, an impasse began.[2]
The Three Exalted Marches[edit | edit source]
In the year 7:24 Storm, the Andrastian Chantry and Imperial Chantry were desperate enough to work together for the first time since the schism to take down the threat to both organizations. They declared the New Exalted Marches against the Qunari – to retake Rivain for the Chantry, and Seheron and Qarinus for Tevinter.[3]
The first New Exalted March in 7:25 Storm proved successful. The Circle of Magi proved to be a great boon for the Chantry-led forces as they were able to effectively counter the Qunari's technology with their magic. Year by year, the Chantry was able to push further and further into the Qunari lines, although local converts to the Qun proved difficult to return to Andraste's teachings.[1] Many Qunari artifacts were plundered at this time, including the Tome of Koslun which was taken by Orlais as a spoil of war.[3]
However, the second New Exalted March that took place 27 years later in 7:52 Storm was a disaster. The Qunari countered by recapturing much of Antiva.[3] During the same year, Treviso is burned by the liberating armies of the White and Black Divines.[4] A female Ben-Hassrath enforcer known only as "the Hawk" emerged as a legend throughout the course of these conflicts, and is credited with over a hundred kills with only a bow.[5]
In 7:55 Storm, a third and final Exalted March was called.[6]
The nations of Thedas found themselves in dire need of every ship they could muster against the massive power of the Qunari dreadnaughts. The Llomerryn pirates were faced with a hard decision: band together under one flag and fight with those they had previously preyed upon or face conversion and annihilation by the Qunari. Thus the Felicisima Armada was formed at 7:55 Storm.[7]
In 7:56 Storm, the Qunari landed near Ostwick and launched assaults against Starkhaven and Kirkwall. Starkhaven prevailed, but Kirkwall fell due to the magic of the Saarebas.[6] The city remained under Qunari power until Orlesian Chevalier Ser Michel Lafaille liberated Kirkwall in 7:60 Storm. He found that most of the population had converted to the Qun. Kirkwall was incorporated into the Orlesian Empire, and Lafaille became the ruler of the city, named Viscount by the Orlesian emperor.[8]
The Felicisima Armada meanwhile had been using their stealth and trickery to plague Qunari supply lines. They have even launched several seaborne invasions against the Qunari coast. At 7:78 Storm the raiders managed to defeat the Qunari in a massive naval battle and then take Estwatch from them, an island with strategic importance.[9]
The Third Exalted March was the most brutal of all. By this time, the war had drained the resources of every nation in Thedas, leaving most on the brink of collapse. For the giants, it did not appear to be the damage to their armada or the loss of their soldiers, but the terrible toll upon the Rivaini population that prompted their retreat. The Third New Exalted March had all but massacred the people of Kont-aar: their last remaining stronghold left on the continent[10], and all the while without even chipping the Qunari occupying force. For the sake of Kont-aar, the giants finally agreed to withdraw.[11] The Exalted March ended in 7:84 Storm. A meeting between envoys of all the human lands (except for Tevinter) and the Qunari at Llomerryn results in the signing of the Llomerryn Accord and peace being declared.[12] The Qunari agreed to end all hostilities with all nations under the accord and returned to Par Vollen which was ceded to them.
Peace treaty[edit | edit source]
By then, rebuilding all the destruction caused was considered more important than trying to dislodge the Qunari from Kont-aar once again. The Llomeryn Accords dictates that the Qunari would receive the northern archipelago in exchange for cessation of hostilities against all the nations on the accord. Only Tevinter refused to sign, and so the war continues to rage in the Imperium to the present day. Seheron for example, still remains a place of contested conflict between the Qunari and the Tevinter Imperium. Peace was not established between the Tevinter Imperium and the Qunari, but skirmishes were few while the Qunari pulled back to Par Vollen and regrouped.
It's worth noting, however, that the Kingdom of Rivain immediately violated the treaty. Twice. Once, when the humans of northern Rivain—nearly all practitioners of the Qun and therefore by definition, "Qunari"—refused to leave their homes and go in exile to the islands. And again, when the Rivain Chantry and nationalist forces, unable to convert its people back to the worship of the Maker, tried a purge by the sword, slaughtering countless unarmed people and burying them in mass graves. For whatever reason, the leaders in Kont-aar did not alert their allies in the Northern Passage of these attacks.[11]

Schafer activated, slotted into lineup vs. Reds
CINCINNATI -- Putting Ryan Braun on the disabled list cleared a space on the roster for Logan Schafer, who has been out since April 17 with a strained right hamstring. He had rehab stints with Class A Brevard County and Triple-A Nashville and was in the lineup for the club's game against the Reds in Cincinnati on Saturday.
It's likely Schafer will be able to handle the full workload moving forward and won't have to be monitored in terms of building back strength or stamina.
"I'm just continuing my rehab -- strengthening and stretching," Schafer said. "I don't think there's a set schedule, like a day on, day off. I'm pretty much good to go. Hopefully I'll see myself in there a lot."
Schafer was hitting .214 over 10 games at the time of his injury. Having watched from the sidelines for the past two weeks, he lauded the Brewers' pitching, which has been the main reason the club was 21-9 entering Saturday's game. Schafer also realizes the offense is going to have to improve if the Brewers want to keep up this pace.
The Brewers are hitting .252 as a team, but have the second-lowest ERA in the league at 2.90.
"They've been keeping us in ballgames and winning ballgames for us throughout this first month," Schafer said of the pitching. "Our offense hasn't exactly been what we're capable of, but we've found ways to win games. It's early in the season. We've got five more months to go. I don't think there's any worry in here. We're going to start putting up runs. We're a pretty high-powered offense. Once everything starts clicking it's going to be really fun."

Hi all,
I get this error when ever I try to install any Laravel bundle using Artisan:
- Code: Select all
Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in ../../project/laravel/cli/tasks/bundle/providers/provider.php on line 35
Asking on Laravel forum, I found out that my PHP installation doesn't have "zip extension" installed, and that I should "compile PHP" again with this zip extension enabled.
Now, I really have no idea what all that means, so can anyone please help me with this? What does "compile PHP" mean, and how should I do it properly with zip extension enabled? Is there any tutorial online?
I should mention that I run XAMPP 1.8.0 on 64bit Ubuntu Linux 12.04

Six men accused of raping a Swiss tourist who was cycling with her husband in central India were produced in court Monday and charged with gang rape.
Six men accused of raping a Swiss tourist who was cycling with her husband in central India were produced in court Monday and charged with gang rape.
The suspects appeared in the magistrate's court in Madhya Pradesh state with their faces covered with black cloth, police superintendent Chandra Shekhar Solanki said.
It was not clear how they pleaded in court, but during their arrest Sunday they confessed to the crime, police said. The men, who are poor farmers from nearby villages, also face additional charges of robbing the Swiss couple.
The attack, which occurred Friday night as the couple camped in a forest in Datia district, came three months after the fatal gang rape of a woman on a New Delhi bus which spurred outrage over the treatment of women in Indian society and the country's justice system.

The Swiss couple told police that the woman had been raped by seven or eight men, but that it was dark and they could not be sure of the exact number.
The men beat up the husband, tied him to a tree before raping the woman, police said. They also stole the couple's cellphone, laptop computer and 10,000 rupees ($185). Police said they recovered the laptop and phone from one of the suspects.
The Swiss tourists were on a three-month India holiday and had visited the temple town of Orchha. They were planning to cycle to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal, about 210 kilometers (130 miles) away.
They set out from Orchha on Friday and pitched their tent in the forest near Jatia village when they were attacked by men armed with sticks, police said.
Last month, the Swiss government issued a travel notice for India that included a warning about "increasing numbers of rapes and other sexual offenses" in the South Asian nation, and the latest incident could prompt other countries to issue similar warnings.
On Monday, the Press Trust of India news agency reported that the 39-year-old woman said she will stay in India for now to help the investigation. There was no immediate confirmation and phone calls to the Swiss Embassy went unanswered.
Indian Tourism Minister K. Chiranjeevi met the Swiss ambassador to assure him that the victim would receive justice, a statement from his office said. Chiranjeevi also said the Indian government needs to do more to ensure that tourists inform local police stations before venturing into remote areas.
After last December's bus attack, the government passed a law increasing prison terms for rape from the existing seven to 10 years to a maximum of 20 years. The law provides for the death penalty in cases of rape that result in death or leave the victim in a coma. It has also made voyeurism, stalking, acid attacks and the trafficking of women punishable under criminal law.

FREMONT — Without a public notice, discussion or vote, administrators at the Washington Township Health Care District have begun eliminating hundreds of employee positions to cut costs.
Officials said they had no choice but to eliminate 200 full-time positions, more than 13 percent of their workforce, following declines in patient volume and reduced reimbursement rates from state and federal health programs and private insurance. The workforce reductions — expected to save the district $16.1 million — included layoffs for about 68 employees, most who work at the 389-bed Washington Hospital in Fremont.
But board members of the hospital district — which receives property tax funds through voter-approved bonds and is subject to the same public meetings laws as a city council — discussed the layoffs only behind closed doors, without any public notice, in apparent violation of those laws. They did not vote on the reductions, and some board members interviewed last week did not seem to have a full understanding of them.
When informed that 200 positions were being eliminated, not 68, board member and local dentist Dr. Bernard Stewart, said, "Could be. I don't know what that number is." Asked if there was a discussion about the impact of the reductions, Stewart said, "Heavens yes. Those are horribly, horribly important decisions. Those are things you just don't do haphazardly."
An open government advocate said such matters can legally be discussed only in open session.
"The way the Brown Act works is everything is public unless there is a statutory exception," said Terry Francke, general counsel for the open government group Californians Aware. The act contains specific exceptions for a small number of matters where privacy is critical, including union bargaining, real estate negotiations and employee evaluations. But, said Francke, "there is no authorization for a discussion for the need to reduce staff to save money."
Other public entities, including city councils, school boards and fire districts, routinely discuss budget problems and potential layoffs in open, public sessions.
Asked if the district's handling of the reductions was legal, Paul Kozachenko, an attorney for the district, said in a letter, "Public notice was not required."
Before a Jan. 9 public meeting of the district board, a private security guard tried to stop a reporter from talking directly to board members. When reached, four board members said they were confident the district did not violate the Brown Act. Further, they said, it was not necessary for the board to approve the reductions, because they were an administrative matter delegated to CEO Nancy Farber. Dr. William Nicholson, board president, did not respond to repeated requests for comment in the last two weeks.
Michael Wallace, board member and chairman of Fremont Bank, said giving the public notice about every district financial decision is "unrealistic."
"That's not the way a business is run," Wallace said. "It is in the public's interest that we correlate the workforce with the demands of the hospital and the patient base, and the management follows those demands. We at the board aren't going to second-guess what the management's decisions are in that area."
Board member Dr. Jacob Eapen, a physician at the Alameda County Medical Center, agreed, saying board involvement would be micromanagement.
Gisela Hernandez, a Washington spokeswoman, cited competitive reasons and employee sensitivity as rationale for withholding information on which positions were eliminated. This newspaper has requested public records which outline the positions affected and has yet to receive a response.
Carlyn Foster, spokeswoman for the Service Employees International Union-United Healthcare Workers West, said 14 of the union's 449 members at Washington Township, including licensed vocational nurses and certified nursing assistants, were warned they would be laid off. Two layoffs have since been put on hold and three of those warned have found new jobs in the district.
Another of the district's unions, the California Nurses Association, questioned why the layoffs were not discussed in public by the board.
"I have seen it happen both ways," said Joe Lindsay, public sector division director for the California Nurses Association. "In our view it is not appropriate to have something of that import occur without an open discussion or vote by the board." None of CNA's 750 members employed by Washington Township has been laid off thus far, Lindsay said.
Profits at the Washington Township Health Care District — which operates Washington Hospital in Fremont and other medical centers in the Tri-City area — have plummeted in recent years.
On its website, the district boasts of a $36.8 million net operating income in fiscal year 2010-2011, writing it was "well above the budget." But in the first four months of the current fiscal year beginning in July, operating expenses outpaced operating revenues by $1.64 million, district records show. After the reductions are complete, the district projects a positive net operating income of $7.6 million for the 2013 fiscal year, Hernandez said.
The district's budget woes have also affected its bond ratings. Last year, credit-rating agency Moody's Investors Service downgraded millions of dollars-worth of the district's general obligation and long term revenue bonds and gave both a negative outlook. The changes may increase district costs on future bonds, including the $186 million in bonds approved by taxpayers Nov. 6 under Measure Z.
The district's publicly elected board of directors budgeted $8 million in property tax revenue this year. The public hospital district serves 320,000 residents across 124 square miles in southern Alameda County, including Fremont, Union City, Newark, Sunol and south Hayward.
The health care district has drawn attention for its financial practices in the past — particularly the compensation of Farber, whose annual compensation in 2010 gave her one of the top government salaries in the state at $912,000. The board of directors postponed Farber's incentive pay this year, though her base salary of $650,000 leaves her in the upper echelon of public employee pay.
Peter Scheer, executive director of the nonprofit First Amendment Coalition, questioned the board's hands-off approach to the workforce reductions.
"Whatever discussion they had where they were made aware, they should have had that discussion in open session," Scheer said. "If they never had a discussion on layoffs, 'What will the impact be on health care?' then what the hell are they doing?"

Money money money; hopefully I wont crash this blog like the last and I can actually print to the world.
So; money; its one of the 4 principles; In the basement is God/recovery; and upstairs are three sisters; activities, relationships, and money; These are principle; life principle; they do not change for the human being; the names may change; but I don't think so.
Money; when young; I lived under a cocoon of protection; I was in a state of shock and hatred and horror and fear and terror and sadness and loss and trauma; coupled by a broken self esteem; totally and completely demoralized; I was about 11 years old. I was in a safety cocoon.
The cocoon; one does not grow; its a trauma balloon.
Ive grown in my recovery; studied much; heal somewhat; lets just say symptoms of some things are down. not others.
Money; when it comes to money; when it comes to needing money; I turn inward and my stomach turns; because I had to turn to the abusers for money when young. I had to ; I was beat into it; one might say; scared into it; because I had nothing else; everything else was stripped form my life; I could feel nothing but fear.
Heres the deal; When it comes to money or needing things; my nervous system automatically heads back to the abusers; My nervous system heads back to the abusers. Its automatic; brainwashing. Theirs no recovery in this area.
The goal; head toward the universe concerning money
I want a car; the first thing that hits my heart; Ask my Grandmother for one; why; because they would help me get one; Im like a broken 12 year old asking her for stuff; Im to traumatized to get this stuff on my own.
The point; My nervous system does not have any light in it; not concerning money or how to make money; Ive had jobs before; but I was a slave; this is not about jobs; this is bout the light; I head toward the abusers; the ghosts in my nervous system when I think about stuff; when I think about money.
The goal is to switch allegiance from the abusers to the universe; to ask the universe for a new car; have the universe help me get a new car; to learn to work with the universe; take chances with the universe; trust the universe; learn to have faith with the universe; go from the old family system; demonic system to the universe; switch allegiance to the universe as the primary supporting figure.
When it comes to money; no recovery; I don't know how to make money; I never had to; I was given money; I was given money because I was being bought and sold down the river and I had no self esteem to do anything else but allow the abusers to take care of me; I was to young and scared to do anything else.
Im in this place of needing recovery concerning money; I've studied money for 5 1/2 years; success; how Billionaires think; some of their secrets; and I get it; Ive got at least a base of understanding on simple concepts.
I have a goal; change my elegance to he universe from the abusers; get the child in me to see the light thats coming in and maybe get the child to give that light a chance; see if it might help. The child in me; in this area of money was helpless; learned helplessness; brain washed. Brain dead through fear; protected and immature within a cocoon of biological protection to survive being alone in a bizarre horror nightmare.
I was controlled by authority; and when I think of money; money was dold- out to me by the authority; that money I lived on. And that is the scared me; having to survive; when I think of money; it triggers that time period and I run back to the abusers scared to death and get inline; frightened. And this in my mind. The ghosts in my nervous system. And my nervous system is owned by them and controlled by them like a little soldier. ITs been many years since I was actually in the presence of these abusers; ive seen a few lately; in the last few years; not to many; Im not physically controlled by them or live off them; but my mind is still in their clutches and their basements.
So; its hard; the transferring to the universe for love and support; is not this the universe that created the monsters that ruined me. Where was the universe; was the universe not watching the whole time; did the universe do anything for me; get me out of their; start my life again?
So; no self esteem concerning my life or making money; always believing I have to go back to the abusers and I cant do anything unless I ask their permission and I cant do anything unless they are in charge. I cant do anything because they are in control. Im frightened to stand up to them; ill die if I do; Ill be thrown away; and I dont want to go through that again; and no one cares either way.
So; Im learning to let go of that time period and focus on the universe for helping me? And this is going to be hard; I feel thrown away again; and I hate having to make this move into the arms of the universe; However, I know the universe is all Ive got to help me learn how to make money and be independent.
What does it feel like to be independent.
So; Im learning; my nervous system has to turn toward the universe; and that happens when I turn toward the universe; and that happens when the small child in me lets go of clutching the past and slowly sees the light and heads toward the light to new answers concerning independence and money.
I dont know how to make money; so; Im going to ask the universe to teach me how. How, from the ground up.

Open Space Farmlands
Farmland connects us with our agricultural heritage, and through farming, allows us to connect to each other, the land, and the seasons.
As development spreads across the Middle Rio Grande Valley, our farmland treasures are vanishing.
To preserve this dwindling resource, the City of Albuquerque has acquired five farms to manage as Major Public Open Space.
Albuquerque's Open Space Farmlands provide us with unique opportunities to enjoy farming and farm landscapes, educational activities, wildlife, recreation and special events.
Candelaria Farm
In 1977, the City of Albuquerque's Open Space Division acquired its first piece of farmland: the 97-acre Candelaria Farm. This farm is located on the north side of the Rio Grande Nature Center.
To maintain the farm landscape, the City has contracted Scott Rasband, owner of Rasband Dairy known locally for rgBH-free milk products, to grow crops for his dairy cows and for visiting wildlife such as hundreds of sandhill cranes and Canada geese that arrive to feed at the farm each fall.
Wildlife enthusiasts can view the bountiful flocks of cranes, geese and other water wildlife that take up residence seasonally or year-round at the Candelaria Farm wetland from the viewing blind at the Rio Grande Nature Center. However, in order to protect wildlife, public access to the farm is limited to guided programs. Educational activities for school children are scheduled from March to October, so as not to disturb the avian visitors.
The City of Albuquerque is in the process of creating a resource management plan for the 167-acre Candelaria Nature Preserve, and we're asking for your input! Please visit the Candelaria Nature Preserve Resource Management Plan page to learn more.
Los Poblanos Fields
Los Poblanos Fields owes its existence to the citizens of Albuquerque. Citizens purchased the 138-acre North Valley farm for Open Space in 1997, through a temporary Quarter Cent gross receipts tax. The Village of Los Ranchos, Bernalillo County, and the State of New Mexico also donated generously to the acquisition.
Rio Grande Community Farms (RGCF) and Rasband Dairy continue the farming tradition at Los Poblanos, and use 25 percent of the farmland to grow crops to feed visiting waterfowl during the winter.
Los Poblanos Fields also offers the public a variety of popular special events and programs including the annual corn maze, the community garden, and hands-on educational activities organized by RGCF.
Since 2011, Los Poblanos Fields is also the local site for the celebration of World Tai Chi Day.
Community Garden Rows
Sign up for a row in the community garden with Rio Grande Community Farms (RGCF)
Community Garden Rows Access
The farm is open to the public to enjoy wildlife viewing, picnicking walking, jogging, bicycling and horseback riding. Vehicle access is west of 4th St on Montaño Rd. and north on Tierra Viva Rd. Parking is available in the gravel lot on the west side of Tierra Viva Rd.
Hubbell Oxbow Farm
The Hubbell Oxbow Farm is an 87-acre parcel of South Valley farmland. The property, located just outside the Albuquerque City limits, is bordered by Coors Blvd on the east, the Albuquerque Metropolitan Area Flood Control Authority (AMAFCA) detention basin on the west and south, and Rio Bravo Blvd on the north. The Open Space Division contracts a local farmer to keep the land in agricultural production. The property does not offer formal access.
Alamo Farm
The City acquired this 20-acre North Valley farm as Open Space in 1998. On this property, the Open Space Division preserves a cottonwood bosque, and farms a portion of the land for wildlife crops. In the future, this Open Space may provide formalized pedestrian and equestrian access to trails in the Rio Grande Valley State Park. The property is not currently open to the general public to protect wildlife habitat. However, the farm can be viewed from the parking lot for the paved trail along Paseo Del Norte.
Open Space Visitor Center Farm
One of the best places for watching Sandhill Cranes is the Open Space Visitor Center, located adjacent to a 24 acre farm managed by the Open Space Division for wildlife. Since its official opening in 2006, the Visitor Center has become a haven for wildlife photographers, as it allows for unique views of Sandhill Cranes and other bird species, with the spectacular backdrops of the Sandia Mountains and the Cottonwood forests of the Rio Grande. The farm itself is closed to the public as it is managed as a wildlife preserve.

Introduction | Part I | Part II |Part III |Part IV |Appendixes & Reports
The I-880 Cypress Freeway Replacement, a project of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 4, involved the reconstruction of a 3.1-mile section of freeway in Oakland and Emeryville, California. As part of its plan to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Caltrans contracted with the Anthropological Studies Center at Sonoma State University (ASC) to examine the area of potential effects (APE).
The Cypress Archaeology Project database is unprecedented in the West. Over 120 discrete artifact assemblages were recovered and associated with specific households. A wide variety of groups is represented, from unskilled working-class households to upper-middle-class families, immigrants from numerous countries, and native-born whites and African Americans.
Part I presents the how, why, where, and who of the Cypress Archaeology Project, along with a brief narrative history of West Oakland. Part II contains chapters on the material conditions of life in West Oakland, the politics of the Victorian parlor, and household adaptive strategies. Part III focuses on the people of the neighborhood, with essays on the archaeology of gender; the material culture of the "aristocracy of labor"; the Overseas Chinese and laundry work; the archaeology and landscape of lodging; and a chapter devoted to the archaeology and near 150-year history of African Americans in West Oakland. Part IV contrasts the largely negative presentation of West Oakland by historical commentators with a view based on historical archaeology and makes some recommendations for future work on archaeology projects. Appendixes include a project timeline; a list of other scholarly and interpretive products that have been created from Cypress Project data; a record of the historical associations of each archaeological feature; summaries and artifact layout photographs of 69 of the features studied; a much-edited version of the Field Director's diary; and statistical studies of faunal and glass remains.

An Introduction to the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards
The Texas Surface Water Quality Standards establish explicit goals for the quality of streams, rivers, lakes, and bays throughout the state. The Standards are developed to maintain the quality of surface waters in Texas so that it supports public health and enjoyment and protects aquatic life, consistent with the sustainable economic development of the state.
Water quality standards identify appropriate uses for the state's surface waters, including aquatic life, recreation, and sources of public water supply (or drinking water). The criteria for evaluating support of those uses include dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, dissolved minerals, toxic substances, and bacteria. Statewide standards may be revised on a site-specific basis when sufficient information is available.
Standards Are State Rules
The Texas Surface Water Quality Standards are codified in Title 30, Chapter 307 of the Texas Administrative Code . The Standards are written by the TCEQ under the authority of the Clean Water Act and the Texas Water Code (Scroll down to Chapter 26 and select Section 26.023.)The Texas Surface Water Quality Standards are effective for Clean Water Act purposes when they are approved by EPA.
One important section of the standards is the General Criteria (307.4 ). The general criteria are narrative, and apply to all waters in the state. They address pollutants for which there are no specific numerical criteria and specify procedures for developing site-specific standards for small unclassified water bodies.
The Antidegradation Policy (307.5 ) establishes additional protection for water bodies that are defined in the standards as being of intermediate, high, or exceptional quality. Specific numerical criteria (307.6 ) for 42 toxic pollutants (expressed as maximum instream concentrations) protect aquatic life. Human consumption of fish and drinking water is protected by numerical criteria for 100 toxic pollutants. Section 307.6 also addresses biomonitoring, which involves exposing selected aquatic organisms to samples of a discharge effluent. Any significant toxicity observed during biomonitoring must then be evaluated and resolved.
Appropriate numerical criteria needed to support various water-quality related uses are defined in Section 307.7 . Conditions under which portions of the standards do not apply are noted in Section 307.8 . Sampling and analytical procedures to assess standards attainment are described in Section 307.9 . Site-specific standards for designated water bodies are individually listed in Section 307.10 (Appendices A, C, D, E, F, and G). Sole-source surface water drinking supplies are listed in Appendix B.
The water quality segments listed in 307.10 are divisions of major river basins, bays, and estuaries. All water bodies in the state have been divided into segments based on regional hydrologic and geologic diversity, which are referred to as classified or designated segments. Segments are listed and defined in Appendices A and C of the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards.
The Water Quality Standards are applied to permits as discussed in the Implementation Procedures.
Public Participation
The public may participate in the development and implementation of the Standards through the Surface Water Quality Standards Advisory Work Group (SWQSAWG).
The work group's guidance is sought on various topics, including nutrient criteria development and application, changes to toxic criteria per EPA criteria updates, implementation of EPA's guidance on recreational indicators and uses, and site-specific criteria changes to classified and unclassified water bodies.
For More Information
See contact information for a TCEQ staff member who specializes in the area related to your question.

YANKEES: Alex Rodriguez goes hitless again for Charleston Riverdogs
CHARLESTON, S.C. >> It's no hits and no worries so far for Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.
The three-time AL MVP grounded out twice and turned a double play Wednesday night in the second game of his minor league rehab stint with Class-A Charleston.
Rodriguez, who is recovering from left hip surgery in January, also went hitless in his first game with the RiverDogs. But the third baseman, who turns 38 on July 27, isn't panicking about his slow start -- yet.
"I don't mind if I save all my hits for New York," he said with a grin.
Rodriguez plans to work out at Riley Park on Thursday before leaving for the Yankees' spring training complex in Florida. He'll play for the Yankees' minor league team in Tampa on Friday.
He said Tuesday he likely would need each of the 20 allowed rehab games to get back in shape. It sure looked that way in his two nights in Charleston.
In his first game since a miserable October, he hit into a double play and struck out in two at-bats. Then he struggled against 19-year-old right-hander Mauricio Cabrera of Rome, an affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.
Rodriguez swung at the first pitch he saw from Cabrera and grounded out to first. He found out when he got back to the dugout that Cabrera's pitch was clocked at 101 mph.
"I couldn't believe it," he said. "It's not very often you see 101."
He came up again in the third and bounced to second, leaving him 0 for 4 in two games at Charleston. He did start an inning-ending double play in the top half of the third.
"It wasn't too bad," Rodriguez said. "That's the first time in eight months I've gone out there back to back."
Rodriguez's stay in Charleston was a success for the RiverDogs, who welcomed a crowd of 7,667 on Wednesday night after an announced attendance of 8,255 on Tuesday night.
Rodriguez signed autographs for the RiverDogs after he left Wednesday's game, and then spent about 20 minutes signing for fans in the right-field stands. He had a playful exchange with 12-year-old Charlie Stephens in Charleston's clubhouse, trading an autographed hat for the boy's Astros cap before giving that to him as well.
"How's that for a deal?" he said.
Rodriguez also posed for pictures with musician Darius Rucker. "I love this place," Rodriguez said.
There's a chance Rodriguez might return to Charleston on his rehab tour, but he's unsure of his schedule past the next few days.
Joining Rodriguez on the RiverDogs was Yankees shortstop Eduardo Nunez, who played six innings in his second game back from a strained oblique. He followed up on a 2-for-3 performance Tuesday by going 0 for 2 with a walk.
Nunez was unsure of his rehab schedule.
Intermittent rain kept the tarp on the field for much of the day and prevented both clubs from taking batting practice or getting infield work.
RiverDogs manager Al Pedrique said Rodriguez met with the Charleston players earlier Wednesday to discuss baseball life and answer any questions from the young players.
"It's great for the kids, they really had a blast," Pedrique said. "It's too bad he came out so early in the third inning."
That was by design. Rodriguez said after Tuesday's game he wanted to see how his body handled his first game action in nine months.
Pat Roessler, the director of player development for the Yankees, told Pedrique that Rodriguez felt fine Wednesday morning and was ready to go.
Rodriguez said he's putting in the hard work to come back because he has "a responsibility to baseball."
"That's the way I'm wired," he continued. "I obviously love the competition, I love the game. I know there are going to be a tremendous amount of naysayers out there and I look forward to going out there, playing well and contributing."
Also Wednesday, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter moved one step closer to joining Rodriguez in minor league games by running the bases after putting the ball in play during his simulated at-bats.
Jeter had two singles, a double and three grounders against a pair of right-handers at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla. Running the bases in the simulated situation is normally one of the final steps in preparation to play in rehab games.
The Yankees expect Jeter to rejoin the big league team after the All-Star break.
Jeter hasn't played this season after breaking his left ankle in the opener of the AL championship series on Oct. 13. After surgery, the Yankees captain played just five spring training games because of soreness. A new break was discovered April 18.

Update: Times Union blogger Rob Madeo is the father of the 14-year-old prankster at the center of this controversy.
"I'm very unhappy with my son's behavior Saturday night," Rob Madeo said Wednesday. "I don't condone his actions under any circumstances and we'll deal with this in the harshest possible way."
How would you react?
Staff writer Paul Grondahl reports:
A teenage prank at a Saturday night sleepover in the Haswell Farms development went awry and ended with a startled homeowner's arrest.
The Delmar resident, in his underwear after having gone to bed, tackled one of the fleeing boys in his yard and waited for police to arrive, only to be charged with endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree harassment. He was issued an appearance ticket to answer the misdemeanor and violation charges in Bethlehem Town Court on Aug. 3.
Not charged were the teens, who allegedly pounded on Daniel P. Van Plew's back door, rang his front doorbell and skulked around his property in the dark — punctuated by a torrent of profanities from the slow-footed boy the man caught and kept inside his house until the cops got there.
"It's an awkward situation," said Van Plew, 37, vice president and general manager of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a Tarrytown-based biopharmaceutical company with a manufacturing facility in East Greenbush. He declined to discuss his arrest further and offered this account of the Saturday night dust-up through his attorney, Peter Gerstenzang.
Shortly after 10 p.m., with his wife, 3-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son all upstairs in their beds, Van Plew remembered he had left paperwork on a dining room table and went downstairs in his underwear to move it to his desk so it would be secure.
That's when he caught a glimpse out a window of a shadowy figure standing close to his house, along with some other movement out front.
"It was pretty scary. He had no idea what was going on," Gerstenzang said. As he headed to the garage to investigate, he heard pounding on his back door and ringing of his front doorbell. As he disabled a home alarm system and opened a side door off the garage, he heard muffled voices saying, "Go, go!"
Van Plew then yelled: "What are you doing? Are you trying to rob me?"
When he saw four figures bolt across his yard, he gave chase, caught up to the slowest one and tackled him. It turned out to be a 14-year-old boy, who began cursing at Van Plew, Gerstenzang said.
He got the kid inside his house and told him to sit on the floor and called police.
"He was very angry at being tackled and was very profane," Gerstenzang said, adding that the teen spewed crude sexual remarks about Van Plew's wife. At one point, the boy said he had a knife in his pocket and threatened to use it on Van Plew, but it turned out to be a cellphone.
Gerstenzang said the 14-year-old suffered scrapes and bruises from being tackled, and Van Plew offered to treat the injuries with antiseptic but the boy refused.
Gerstenzang denied that Van Plew threatened the teenager with violence if he tried to escape before police arrived, as the teen allegedly told police in a statement, according to an e-mail from a town insider who calls himself "the Delmar tipster."
Bethlehem police were not available late Tuesday to discuss the case.
Gerstenzang said that Van Plew later learned the four teenagers were at a sleepover in his suburban development of $350,000 to $400,000 homes off Feura Bush Road and may have been engaged in a prank to scare homeowners.
"They succeeded," Gerstenzang said, noting that his client remains rattled.
"It's a nightmare for him," the attorney said. "He's got two little kids asleep, these four figures are moving around his house in the dark, pounding on his door, ringing his doorbell, and he's frightened. Under the circumstances, I think his reaction was pretty moderate."
Van Plew joined Regeneron in 2007 after serving as executive vice president for R&D and technical operations of Crucell Holland B.V., a global biopharmaceutical company. He has a master's degree in chemistry from Pennsylvania State University and an MBA from Michigan State University.
Regeneron has therapeutic candidates in clinical trials for the potential treatment of gout, age-related macular degeneration, central retinal vein occlusion and certain cancers, according to the company website.

The Patches project serves as a central repository for all patches useful to an LFS user. It also serves as a testing ground for patches that may later be incorporated into the LFS and BLFS book. The patches that are in the repository, but that are not included in the book, are primarily meant for users already familiar with LFS. First time LFS users should adhere to the versions and patches which are in LFS or BLFS.
Patches are submitted by individual users, and might not be tested by the LFS Testing Team. They carry no warranty of any sort. Apply the patches at your own risk.
The patches mailing list is only for submission of patches and for discussion related to the development of the Patches project. Discussion related to patches should be on the appropriate support or development list. Most likely that will be blfs-dev or lfs-dev.

January 2, 2014 in Social Networking (E)
[prMac.com] Cherry Hill, New Jersey - App developer Anthony Papaneri has released version 1.1 of MyBloc, the very first app that allows users to view all of their social networks in a single three-dimensional cube. The attractive and easy-to-use app sports the most unusual and innovative way to view social networks, with everything based around a three-dimensional cube.
MyBloc combines Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts into a single, easy-to-view app. Each side of the Bloc features a different post from one or more social network accounts, although it is not necessary to have all accounts to use the MyBloc app. Users have the option of viewing all three network accounts at once, with the newest post rotating; alternately, users can filter posts by going to each individual network and flipping to the bottom of the cube.
With each face of the Bloc showing a different network, it's easy to stay up to date on all social media fronts at once. The Facebook side displays the news feed, wall, photos, and status; and the Instagram side displays the feed, My Photos, Popular, and Nearby. The Twitter Bloc displays the feed, My Tweets, Mentions, and Retweets. The Bloc will rotate on its own through the most recent feeds.
"Keeping up to date on multiple social media accounts has become an essential part of everyday life, and in many cases, an essential part of doing business," said app designer Anthony Papaneri. "With so much at stake, users need to have an easy way to view multiple accounts at once. MyBloc gives users precisely that, with a three-dimensional interface that makes it a breeze to stay on top of all three accounts at once."
The app's auto-rotation feature allows the cube to rotate automatically, giving an alternating view of all three networks. "There's no need to swipe or tap the cube to get the rotating view of all three," added Papaneri. "Without the app, keeping up on all three networks requires three separate windows, each with separate actions - making it impossible to accomplish this type of unified view. I'm very pleased to be able to offer this groundbreaking social media tool."
* Search for people on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
* Double-tap to like a Facebook post, favorite a Tweet, or like an Instagram post
* Check Facebook for messages
* Check Twitter for mentions
* Updated profile screens
Device Requirements:
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5
Pricing and Availability:
MyBloc 1.1 for iPhone is also available for $0.99 (USD) in the iTunes store under the Social Networking category.
Based in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Papaneri will continue enhancing the social media world with continuing additions and refinements, based on user feedback and continuing social media insights.

I'd forgotten to mention that I was acutely aware during Thursday's gig that this would be the last time I could (legally) smoke in a venue. I've tickets for motorhead before the fucking ban but as it's in the Royal Festival Hall smoking isn't permitted anyway. Indeed, I'm now very aware that I'm on borrowed time as far as smoking in pubs is concerned; it feels like the end of an era approaching. Balls. I hate change.
Another thing, the swervedriver video I posted in Fridays blog, the red motorcycle (it's a Ducati 900ss) I used to have one of those. It's a miracle it made it to the end of the video, mine was more unreliable than radiotherapy.
So, what's been going down this weekend, yeah, well, not much frankly. On Friday afternoon Myfwt came round for a cup of tea and a chat, it was lovely to see her despite her not feeling on top of the game. After a couple of hours she left to do some work, I did some housework which included fucking hovering, a task I despise out of all proportion. I'd decided that due to the previous evening hedonism that I wanted to share a night with the self, I nipped out to get some tobacco and settled in for the evening. At least my carpet no longer looks like Brighton Beach.
I was an unremarkable night but very much needed. I read, started a short poem and watched TV with a few G&T's, spliffs and roast chicken wallowing in gravy and cooked to perfection roasted potatoes and steamed vegetables. Jools Holland was the highlight of the evening, it has to be said that if you have any passion for contemporary music, there will always be something to tinkle ones fancy, in this instance Wilco, LCD Soundsystems and surprisingly, Joan Armatrading.
I was woken late Saturday morning with a phone call from Myfwt, she was going away for the weekend so I went back to my pit and slept until early afternoon. After a bath and late lunch I spent the afternoon looking at grot on the PC before watching Apollo 13. Early evening I met Frank up the road for a drink. Our usual venue was stuffed full of no neck cropped haired wankers all yelling at a large flatscreen TV, we decided to leave them to it, it's wonder their knuckles weren't wearing shoes.
We convened in this bland wine bar cum eatery and were forced to drink fizzy bastard Carling in lieu of man's ale. At least the place was quiet. Frank and I discussed Joy Division and this http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2457332 which beggar's total disbelief. I wandered home after a few pints following a short visit to fucking Tesco, the bane of my consumer life for a bottle of wine and crabsticks that I think I'm addicted to. BBC2 came to my rescue in the form of The Seven Ages of Rock featuring Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground, David Bowie, Genesis and most inappropriately, Roxy Fucking music, or Poxy Music as my dad calls them. What the fuck were they doing there? Utter shit, who did they influence in the 70's apart from The Yorkshire Ripper, probably. In order to cleanse myself of Brian Fairy and the girls, I bathed in session of progressive rock and metal, which saw me well into the small hours. I went to bed a little squiffy don't you know.
I was up in time for the Grand Prix on Sunday. Monaco, one of my favourites despite the circuit making overtaking almost impossible. It was an impressive race, if a little samey, due to the two victorious Mclaren's and the continuation of the remarkable fledgling career of Lewis Hamilton, 19 years old with makings of a world champion, so long as the team orders on Sunday weren't the thin end of the wedge as far as he and Alonso are concerned. I can tell I'm boring you, I don't care really. Okay I do.
I met my bro at 5 for a pint at the Sunday usual as he had some dinner appointment with his missus and friends at 7, we drank wine, some quaffable Spanish fare because he'd just had lunch with our folks and had a few glasses on board and didn't want to mix his poisons. The subject of Poxy Music being on that BBC2 Rockumentary came up, my bro informed me that dad wasn't impressed either which comes of no surprise. My dad isn't an aficionado on all things 'rock' by the way but he's fairly well versed in 60's 'pop'. I remember when I was about 7 telling him that I thought The Monkees were much better than The Beatles, dad was under the Maxi (he was always under some Leyland design fault in the 70's) but he downed tools, popped his head out from under the door sill and yelled 'don't be so fucking stupid' so loudly my mum heard him in the back garden. I still think I'm right by the way, fab four my arse, Jerk, Prat, Git and Ringpeice.
It's worth noting that since Friday evening it's pretty much been raining constantly. The upshot is that I've been forced indoors for virtually the whole weekend and bank holiday, save a few trips to the pub to see Frank and my bro. The flat is now entirely spotless; I've even had time to purge my clothing rail. Actually, I'm bored fucking shitless, I especially wanted to take the black bitch out for a ride. On the upside my head has been farting out ideas, I wrote a poem and after an hour of drunken deliberations over a succession of evenings concluded that all art was the subjective manifestation of projected thinking. As I type this it's Monday afternoon, I'm meeting Frank for a pint in a couple of hours then home to eat and watch a film.
I'll leave it to Ian and the boys to provide today's entertainment. (I think Ian may be on drugs, maybe if he'd read that story in the link he'd still be with us today)

The Hoya 77mm Variable Density Filter is a solid variable density filter providing an exposure reduction of about 1.5 to 9 stops.
- Provides 1.5 - 9 Stop Exposure Reduction
- Increases Exposure Length of Images
- Creates Artistic Blur of Moving Subjects
- Take Greater Control Over Depth of Field
- Low Profile, Rigid Aluminum Filter Ring
- Hoya High-Quality Optical Glass
The 1/3 to 1/400 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than would normally be required. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring, allowing you to visualize the additional exposure length required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to both control depth of field and amount of movement conveyed more easily.
This filter features a front rotating element that changes the density of the filter, to help reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens. It is constructed from high-quality optical glass from Hoya Corporation, with an aluminum filter ring.
Additional Features:
- Variable neutral density filter allows you to dial in differing amounts of density from scene to scene
- 0.3 to 4.0 neutral density filter darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required

Courtesy of our friends from Endicott College's athletic department — here is today's press release pertaining toward the Gulls exciting 50-45 victory against Western New England College.
For more information on the Gulls football team — HOP HERE.
BEVERLY, Mass. – The 100th game for the Endicott football program was a memorable one as the Gulls exchanged offensive blows with their NEFC Boyd Division rival Western New England but came out on top 50-45 to improve to 7-2 (5-1 NEFC Boyd) on the season.
For the second week in-a-row, sophomore quarterback Drew Frenette (New Bedford, Mass.) connected with his favorite receiver, senior Mike Murphy (Chelmsford, Mass.), 11 times for 139 yards and a new program record five touchdown receptions under the lights at Endicott Stadium. When Murphy brushed off his defender and scampered into the end zone 35 yards for his fourth touchdown with 8:58 remaining in the second quarter, not only did he break the single game record for touchdown catches but he also passed Ryan MacLean ('07) for Endicott's career receiving yards mark.
Murphy ended up catching five of Frenette's six touchdown passes, also a new Endicott record. The sophomore signal-caller finished 27-of-39 for 342 yards, six touchdowns, and one pick. His sixth touchdown of the game came with 3:47 remaining in the third quarter as he found tight end Greg Dellorco (Franklin, Mass.) wide open for 42 yards up the middle of the field to put the Blue and Green ahead 45-31.
Not to be outdone, Endicott senior running back Mike Wheeler (Hanover, Mass.) provided an effective all-around game as well as he surpassed Mike Lane's ('12) single-game all-purpose yards record with 288 total yards against Western New England on Saturday evening. Wheeler rushed 23 times for 123 yards, returned six kickoffs a total of 161 yards and caught one pass for four yards.
Despite numerous offensive records being broken for the second straight week, Western New England amassed 579 total yards of offense in the game. Sophomore tailback Kevin Cook (Hamburg, N.J.) took the ball 31 times for 192 yards and two touchdowns while junior quarterback John Krafick (New Milford, Conn.) threw for 323 yards and four scores through the air.
The Golden Bears started the game with an 14-play, 79-yard opening drive that resulted in a 16-yard touchdown reception by junior tight end Mike Uszakiewicz (Prospect, Conn.) from Krafick. Endicott answered on their first drive as Murphy kept one foot in the corner of the end zone to complete a 13-yard touchdown pass from Frenette.
Later in the first quarter with great field position to start their drive, Murphy caught touchdown number two from nine yards out to put Endicott ahead 14-7. The Gulls defense forced Western New England to punt to start the second quarter and five plays into their first drive of the new period, Murphy was back in the end zone after another near sideline grab from 24 yards out.
The Golden Bears fired back with a 10-play, 83-yard drive that saw Uszakiewicz catch his second touchdown of the game from Krafick, a 19-yard reception to pull within seven at 21-14.
Murphy's record-breaking, 35-yard touchdown catch put the Blue and Green back up by two scores but Cook pounded the ball into the end zone from three yards out to make it 28-21 with 3:02 left in opening half. Endicott would go into halftime up 31-21 after junior Dylan Rushe (Palos Verdes, Calif.) drilled a 24-yard field goal with only seconds remaining in the half.
Momentum shifted Western New England's way at the start of the third quarter after Endicott's first play from scrimmage was a fumble that was recovered by the Golden Bears at the Gulls 32 yard line. The very next play, Krafick found sophomore wide out Andrew Walz (Groton, Conn.) for a 32-yard touchdown to pull within three at 31-28.
Murphy's final touchdown, a Golden Bears field goal, then Dellorco's 42-yard touchdown reception put the Blue and Green on top 45-31 with 3:47 remaining in the third quarter. Cook scored his second touchdown, a hard-fought eight-yard score to trim Endicott's lead down to seven points heading into the final 15 minutes of the game.
Early in the fourth quarter, Wheeler got Endicott down to the Western New England 15-yard line after a 26-yard rush. The Gulls settled for Rushe's second field goal of the game but Endicott held a 48-38 lead with 11:51 to go.
After Rushe pinned the Golden Bears deep into their own territory courtesy of an Endicott record 69-yard punt, the Gulls defense forced a fumble in the backfield inside the five yard line. Western New England recovered in their won end zone, resulting in a safety and two points for Endicott. Junior defensive lineman Marcell Cooper(Dorchester, Mass.) forced the fumble in the backfield.
Western New England would score one more time on Walz' second TD catch of the game as the sophomore finished with six catches, 135 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Endicott squashed Western New England's hopes for a final drive touchdown as senior linebacker Peter Kallas (Beverly, Mass.) made a diving interception on a Krafick pass to effectively end the game.
The defense was led by Cooper who had a team-high 13 tackles, eight of which were solo, one tackle for a loss and a forced fumble. Junior defensive back Jason Silva (Palatine, Ill.) had 10 tackles with a pass breakup and three other players, PJ Bandini (Waltham, Mass.), Kallas, and Andrew Holfinger (Sterling, Mass.) all added nine tackles each. Junior defensive back Andrew Lawson (Framingham, Mass.) had three pass breakups to lead all players.
For the Golden Bears, junior linebacker Nathan Fleming (Willimantic, Conn.) had a game-high 16 takedowns, nine of which were solo, while forcing and recovering a fumble. Andrew Imperatore (Wyckoff, N.J.) added 11 tackles in the loss. Senior defensive back Corey Brown (Worcester, Mass.) had Western New England's lone interception with a 15-yard return.
Endicott will close out the regular season on Saturday, November 3rd at home for Senior Day as the Gulls will honor 15 seniors on the roster. Endicott hosts MIT at 5:00 pm at Endicott Stadium. Western New England closes out their regular season at home against UMass Dartmouth at 1:00 pm next Saturday.

This month's UFC 130 event has lost its championship headliner.
Due to injuries sustained by both fighters, a lightweight title fight and third bout between champion Frankie Edgar (13-1-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) and Gray Maynard (10-0-1 MMA, 8-0-1 UFC) has been scratched.
UFC officials today announced the change.
UFC 130 takes place May 30 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The night's main card airs on pay-per-view, and Spike TV airs a one-hour "UFC Prelims" special beforehand.
A light-heavyweight bout between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (31-8 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Matt Hamill (10-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has been tapped the new headliner.
Additionally, a welterweight fight between Thiago Alves (18-7 MMA, 10-4 UFC) and Rick Story (12-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) has been promoted to the main card. That bout, which initially was slated for the "UFC Prelims" special, has been replaced by middleweights Tim Boetsch (12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) and Kendall Grove (12-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) on the Spike TV card.
Edgar and Maynard recently fought in the headliner of UFC 125, where
Edgar attempted to defend his belt and avenge the only defeat of his
career. Although Maynard jumped out to an early lead with a first-round
knockdown, Edgar survived and ultimately took the fight the distance.
The bout ended in an anticlimactic draw and prompted officials to book
the third meeting.
No reschedule date has been set for the title fight.
The loss of the title fight is a huge hit to the Memorial Day-weekend show, which often are some of the UFC's bigger events.
The latest card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Matt Hamill vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
- Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson
- Travis Browne vs. Stefan Struve
- Jorge Santiago vs. Brian Stann
- Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Demetrious Johnson vs. Miguel Torres
- Tim Boetsch vs. Kendall Grove
- Bart Palaszewski vs. Gleison Tibau
- Chris Cariaso vs. Michael McDonald
- Renan Barao vs. Cole Escovedo
