Siberian tiger takes a bath
From our impromptu trip to Oaklawn Farm Zoo yesterday. A Siberian Tiger (not a wion, as the nearby three year old protests throughout this video) named Czar decides to take a quick dip, then gets in a territory contest with one of his co-inhabitants and sprays a post right next to where we were videoing. …

Kitten, or Batman villain?
Oh my. This is pretty disturbing. I don't know terribly much about how DNA works where I've never formally studied it, but I'm pretty sure this is a result of a random duplication at conception. What happens when DNA is randomly duplicated? Most of the time, not much, because the DNA in question is in …

1. The $12.5 million referendum being decided today is for the public purchase of the 19.2-acre Bancroft property at 425 Kings Highway East. The Board of Education and the borough have entered into a joint purchase agreement "to seize the opportunity of acquiring this historic and prominent 'gateway into Haddonfield' for use by the community at large, for educational and recreational purposes, to allow for possible future school expansion and development of a high school campus, and to secure an open space legacy."
2. Opponents of the referendum say: "Supporters of the bond referendum may claim that the property tax increases will be 'small,' but our town's middle-class residents and seniors on fixed incomes can't afford more we already pay twice the state average in property taxes, more than $12,000."
3. At the borrowing amount of $12.5 million dollars, discounting for grants or other sources of funds, and based on a 3.3 percent rate over 20 years, the average annual impact will be $189.00 on the average assessed value for a residential property of $491,345.00, according to the school board.
4. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

A time a for joy, a time for tears, a time we'll treasure through the years: It's Monday Mail.
The graduate
Our opening's from "Graduation Day" by the Beach Boys, so chosen because today we have reader responses to my annual parody of a high school graduation speech.
This year the column was a satire of an actual speech I gave to Glenwood's Class of 2013, at the Phenix City Amphitheater.
The speech was too upbeat for a column, so I twisted it around, and urged graduates to flee Columbus immediately, even if they had to steal a dragon boat, kayak or whitewater raft to get away.
This was a big hit with online readers like "ledger2980," who posted this rave review to that piece:
Sad Sad Sad.
Sounds like the rantings of a Jeff Foxworthy wannabe, except it's not funny, not entertaining and insults the intelligence. Trash journalism.
Dear ledger2980:
Actually that column was pretty similar to one published the Sunday before, so technically it's not trash. It's recycling.
Two thumbs up
Speaking of recycling, how about that new recycling center Columbus opened? That's something to be proud of, huh? That's what this reader says in response to that column:
Dear Tim,
Your Sunday column was depressing! You must have been having a bad hair day! Sure, I know Columbus has had its problems lately, with the car vandalism and the school board, but overall, think of all the positive things that have come our way in the last 50 years! The advantage of having Columbus State University improving the downtown area, the RiverCenter, whitewater, the new library, and even the opening of a new recycling center, of which I am very proud! How many other cities this size can boast of that?
Sure, we're a big city now and we're bound to have big city crime along with it. Let's hope that the reward money will help find the ones responsible for the vandalism and that the other problems will work themselves out.
Charlotte Kennedy.
Dear Charlotte:
The line "Columbus has had its problems lately, with the car vandalism and the school board" made that so worth reading. It's always something, isn't it? Either vandals are setting fire to your car or the school board's similarly terrorizing residents.
I can see your thinking I seriously was suggesting elementary school students board dragon boats and row for the Gulf of Mexico -- those kids have a lot of energy, especially if you withhold their medication -- but my proposing high school graduates commandeer a whitewater raft for that purpose clearly was a joke. They'd never get to Florida in a raft. The alligators would eat it.

Mark Gibbs, Contributor
I cover infotech, the science of tech, tech news and tech innovation
Over on Network World where I've had a gig as a columnist for about 18 years, in my Backspin column I wrote about a power generation system this week called E-Cat which is to be tested on October 28th.
If you've missed the recent brouhaha over the E-Cat (which stands for Energy Catalyzer), you're missing out on a three ring circus over a technology that will either change everything or change nothing because what is promised is, in theory, power too cheap to be worth metering.
The E-Cat is a simple device albeit with functioning that defies all known explanations.
In summary, the E-Cat is a cold fusion (CF) device (the inventor, Andrea Rossi, prefers to term the technology "Low Energy Nuclear Reaction" which appears to be the same thing as CF but a less contentious phrasing). I'll refer you to my Network World column for a more long-winded explanation of the background and theories about the device.
The problem with Rossi's system is that it is too good to be true. It is claimed that the E-Cat only requires some initial heating to start after which the reaction is self-sustaining. The reaction uses a secret catalyst to transform nickel into copper with heat being produced which can be used to make steam, drive a Stirling engine, or be used for whatever you please.
If this device works as claimed, the world will change and not just a little but hugely and at every level of how we're organized, how we make stuff, how we travel, and how wealth is distributed. And those changes won't just impact the US or the Western hemisphere; they will transform the entire world because incredibly cheap energy is the ultimate game changer.
So, here's what I'm wondering: If the E-Cat does work, how will ultra-cheap energy transform your world? Imagine the following:
So, the E-Cat will be demonstrated on the 28th of this month and I, for one, will be watching with great interest and enormous hope because if Rossi's E-Cat system works, it will be goodbye recession and hello, brave new world.
This is an excellent article.
However, assuming the system, or other Nickel Hydrogen fueled devices, prove practical – an assumption likely to prove accurate – the cost of power, while competitive, will probably be more than Rossi has stated.
See CHEAP GREEN on the Aesop Institute website for a longer version of this article and additional information that may prove surprising.
Check out this analysis of what e-cat energy will cost: http://nickelpower.org/2011/10/17/how-much-will-an-e-cat-cost/
Aesop Institute is a wonderfully elaborate fraud, operated by Mark Goldes.
Mark Goldes, starting in the mid-seventies, engaged for several years in the pretense that his company SunWind Ltd was developing a nearly production-ready, road-worthy, wind-powered "windmobile," based on the windmobile invented by James Amick; and that therefore SunWind would be a wonderful investment opportunity.
After SunWind "dried up" in 1983, Goldes embarked on the long-running pretense that his company Room Temperature Superconductors Inc was developing room-temperature superconductors; and that therefore Room Temperature Superconductors Inc would be a wonderful investment opportunity. He continues the pretense that the company developed something useful, even to this day.
And then Goldes embarked on the pretense that his company Magnetic Power Inc was developing "NO FUEL ENGINES" based on "Virtual Photon Flux;" and then, on the pretense that MPI was developing horn-powered "NO FUEL ENGINES" based on the resonance of magnetized tuning-rods; and then, on the pretense that his company Chava Energy was developing water-fueled engines based on "collapsing hydrogen orbitals;" and then, on the pretense that he was developing ambient-heat-powered "NO FUEL ENGINES." Goldes has even claimed that Jacob T. Wainwright already patented an ambient-heat-powered engine 100 years ago – even though Wainwright himself certainly never made any such claim, at all. Wainwright's only patent for a turbine or engine was not for any ambient-heat-powered engine, but for a pressurized-gaseous-fluid-powered engine. The innovation of the patent was the use of water to reduce speed – not any use of ambient heat.
Goldes' forty-year career of "revolutionary invention" pretense has nothing to do with science, but only with pseudoscience and pseudophysics – his lifelong stock-in-trade.
I have spent months investigating the career of Mark Goldes, Aesop Institute's Perpetual Scam Machine.
1976: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims to have developed a nearly production-ready, road-worthy, wind-propelled, wind-rechargeable "windmobile" that could reach 60 mph. Goldes has never developed any roadworthy windmobile.
1998: Goldes fools the gullible US Air Force with his "room temperature superconductor" scam, receiving over four hundred thousand dollars in "Innovative Research" grants. Goldes has never produced any superconductor.
2005: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims that his company, MPI, is developing "Magnetic Power Modules" based on "Virtual Photon Flux."
2008: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims that "MPI is also developing breakthrough magnetic energy technologies including POWERGENIE (Power Generation of Electricity by Nondestructive Interference of Energy)." The basic idea of POWERGENIE is to generate electricity from sound energy, by blowing a horn at a magnetized tuning rod. Goldes claims to have "run an electric car for more than 4,800 miles with no need to plug-in." According to Goldes, "[MPI] Revenues from licenses and Joint Ventures are conservatively projected to exceed $1 billion annually by 2012."
2009: Goldes seeks investors with fraudulent claims that his latest scamporation, Chava Energy, "has been developing enhanced theoretical and practical paths that lead towards commercialization of energy conversion systems that utilize hydrinos." He now claims to be "developing a Self Powered Internal Combustion Engine – SPICE(tm) powered by hydrinos." ("Hydrinos" are pure fiction and do not exist.)
"For over 20 years Mark Goldes has claimed his company MPI has been developing machines that generate energy for free. In over 20 years his company has not presented one shred of evidence that they can build such machines…
"For the past five years Mark Goldes has been promising generators 'next year.' He has never delivered. Like 'Alice in Wonderland' there will always be jam tomorrow, but never jam today."
- Penny Gruber, December 2008
- Gruber's comment was written almost five years ago – but it's just as true today – except that MPI, Goldes' corporation that he claimed would bring in one billion dollars in revenue from his horn-powered generator in 2012, is now defunct, having never produced any "Magnetic Power Modules" – just as his company called "Room Temperature Superconductors Inc" is also now defunct, having never produced any "room temperature superconductors." Evidently there's a limit to how many years in a row the same company can claim it will finally have something to demonstrate "next year." Now Goldes has a new scamporation, Chava Energy.
Goldes' current favorite scam is an engine that would run on ambient heat – which is clearly ruled out by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. But of course, the laws of physics always make an exception for the scams of Mark Goldes.
Mark Goldes is a textbook-ready example of a highly talented con artist who clearly takes pleasure in fooling people with his ludicrous claims, artfully peppered with pseudoscientific rubbish.
Make no mistake: Mark Goldes' scamtastic Aesop Institute is a ZERO-STAR nonprofit.
Let's look at just one example of Goldes' offerings in "revolutionary new technology:"
Most Ludicrous Scamvention: Mark Goldes' "POWERGENIE"
One of the most laughable of Mark Goldes' many invention scams is his "POWERGENIE" horn-powered generator. The brilliant idea of this revolutionary breakthrough is to blow a horn at a magnetized tuning rod, designed to resonate at the frequency of the horn, and then collect the electromotive energy produced by the vibrations of the rod.
I'm not making this up.
POWERGENIE tuning rod engine explained – from the patent:
[The device incorporates] "an energy transfer and multiplier element being constructed of a ferromagnetic substance… having a natural resonance, due to a physical structure whose dimensions are directly proportional to the wavelength of the resonance frequency…"
"In this resonant condition, the rod material functions as a tuned waveguide, or longitudinal resonator, for acoustic energy."
"Ferrite rod 800 is driven to acoustic resonance at the second harmonic of its fundamental resonant frequency by acoustic horn 811, resulting in acoustic wave 816 within the rod having two nodal points… Bias magnet 801 produces magnetic flux 802 extending axially through both nodal points developed within rod 800… The sum electromotive force of coils 820 and 821 develops electrical current and power in resistive load 830."
- But the patent doesn't tell us who is going to volunteer to blow the horn at the rod all day. Perhaps it will come with an elephant.
Goldes claimed in 2008 that this wonderful triumph of human genius would bring his company, Magnetic Power Inc, one billion dollars in annual revenue by 2012. Magnetic Power Inc is now defunct, having never produced any "Magnetic Power Modules" – just as his company called "Room Temperature Superconductors Inc" is also now defunct, having never produced any "room temperature superconductors."
Energy Catalyzer or the "E-Cat" for short is a technology invented by Andrea Rossi that could solve the world's energy problems. It is almost comical in its simplicity: Hydrogen gas and micro-scale nickel powder are fused in a high-pressure chamber by a secret catalyst, creating stable copper isotopes and high amounts of thermal energy. The materials used are plentiful and cheap, and the cost of maintenance is virtually zero. No radioactive materials are used, and no radiation is produced.
A high-profile 1 Megawatt plant demonstration in the presence of the U.S. customer is slated for October 28th in Bologna, Italy. "World-renowned scientists" and "top scientific journalists" will be attending.
"goodbye recession and hello, brave new world."
Not a chance in hell!
I agree with you that this is a terrible simplification of the results of the e-cat — if it be true. While the e-cat will ultimately be beneficial for the economy, in the short term it will introduce turmoil.
Read more at: http://nickelpower.org/2011/08/27/how-the-e-cat-may-save-the-world-economy/
Even if proven, you'd still need to have the energy yield outweigh the costs of nickel production. Otherwise, you're just making batteries for mobile applications, not a grid solution.
You must consider that according to Rossi one gram of nickel produces 23 million kilowatt hours. So the amount of nickel E-cats are going to consume is pretty much irrelevant.
Even if all the energy of the world—which is impossible—were to be produced with this system the amount of nickel that is consumed is on the order of some point percentage of the nickel that is extracted from the mines every year.
While you're waiting for the 28th to roll around, you might wish to do some reading, e.g.
* Robert Park's book from 2000, "Voodoo Science" https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Voodoo_Science which talks a lot about cold fusion
* Compare with Steorn https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Steorn http://dispatchesfromthefuture.com/
* http://blog.newenergytimes.com/ which specifically mentions how the E-cat needs to be warmed up from an outside power source for several hours first… and by their calculations, the device "demonstrated a net energy loss rather than a gain"
* Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) work being done by Kirk Sorensen http://blogs.forbes.com/kirksorensen/ http://energyfromthorium.com/ etc.
If Rossi succeeds – FANTASTIC, bring on the Brave New World. I'm ready to try that out.
And while "The reaction uses a secret catalyst to transform nickel into copper with heat being produced" could I place my order now for a catalyst that will turn straw into gold? When has anyone ever changed one element into another? I'm no chemist, but I'll have to call a "Show me" on that one!

WESTLAKE, Calif. —
Ram also brought some gasoline trucks to compare it to, and more than once I had to double-check to be sure I was in the diesel version. I just couldn't tell from the sound.
One of the biggest question marks about this truck — and one of the best reasons to buy it, too — is the gas mileage it's going to get. The official government ratings haven't been announced yet, but the folks at Ram swear it's going to be "class-leading" whenever the numbers come out.
That means it should get better fuel economy than the V6 gasoline trucks that are on the market right now, with the added benefit of greater towing capacity. It's rated to tow up to 9,200 pounds, which is approaching the figure you would expect from a big, thirsty, V8 gas engine.
The price premium for the EcoDiesel is also reasonable. It's just $2,850 more than a similarly equipped Ram with a HEMI V8 engine, a price that's low enough to pay for itself in fuel cost savings over time. And given the historically higher resale value of diesel trucks, it could turn out to be an even smarter decision down the road.
Aside from the coolness of the new diesel, I like what this move says about the Ram brand as a whole. This is a company that's been breaking new ground in the pickup market and rolling out innovations before other trucks, like their diesel engine brakes in heavy-duty models and their big-rig styling in the 1990s.
Being the first to put a diesel engine in a light-duty chassis is just another step in that process. It's a smart move on Ram's part because I suspect there's a large, untapped market of people who want to drive a diesel truck but don't want to deal with the drawbacks and expense of a heavy-duty model.
It's been a long wait, but those people finally have their truck.

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Jim Tortorella's 200th career victory at Colby College will go down as one of his most memorable after the Mules took a 5-1 victory over Saint Michael's College on Saturday and clinched the top seed in the upcoming New England Small College Athletic Conference Men's Hockey Championship.
The Mules will play at Colby's Alfond Rink for as long as they stay alive in the NESCAC playoffs. The first test will be for the top-seeded Mules to meet eighth-seeded Wesleyan University in a league quarterfinal game next Saturday at 4 p.m. With a win in that game, Colby would host the NESCAC Final Four with semifinal games on Saturday, March 8, at 1 and 4 p.m. The NESCAC title game is Sunday, March 9, at 1 p.m.
"The NESCAC in hockey is considered one of the best conferences year in and year out," Tortorella said. "So to be on top of the league at the end of the regular season is quite an accomplishment and a testament to the type of kids we have at this institution."
Tortorella, a 1981 University of Maine graduate, improved his career record to 200-102-24 in his 13th season with the Mules. Tortorella already is the all-time leader in career wins among men's hockey coaches at Colby.
Colby improves to 14-8-1 overall and 13-5-1 in the league. The Mules needed Bowdoin (13-6 league) to lose on Saturday to Norwich University and they got their wish as the Cadets took a 6-4 win.
Colby's seven seniors played their final regular season games at Alfond Rink and made the most of the opportunity. Senior forwards T.J. Kelley (Ridgefield, Conn.), Mike Butler (Saint John, New Brunswick), and Adam Marino (Lexington, Mass.) scored three of the five goals.
Kelley got his 19th goal of the season and his 40th point on a power play at 9:47 of the first period for the lone tally of the period. Michael Belliveau (Bridgewater, Nova Scotia) and Arthur Fritch (South Boston, Mass.) had assists on the goal. Fritch is Colby's all-time leader in defensemen scoring with 113 points (31 goals, 82 assists).
The Mules broke it open in the second period with three goals. Billy Crinnion (Smithtown, N.Y.) started things off at 3:03 of the period and Marino got his goal at 6:54. Butler tallied on the power play to give the Mules a 4-0 lead at the break.
Bobby Sullivan (Darien, Conn.) put Colby up 5-0 just 14 seconds into the third period before Saint Michael's (10-13-1) got a goal from Ryan Mero (Peekskill, N.Y.) at 17:33.
Cody McKinney (Weston, Fla.) made 31 saves for Colby and has allowed just 14 goals in the last 10 games, including a 4-0 shutout of Norwich on Friday night. Purple Knight goalie Brendan Rimmer (Newbury, Mass.) stopped 45 shots.

"What shall be done with the four million slaves if they are emancipated? ... Primarily, it is a question less for man than for God -- less for human intellect than for the laws of nature to solve. It assumes that nature has erred; that the law of liberty is a mistake; that freedom, though a natural want of the human soul, can only be enjoyed at the expense of human welfare, and that men are better off in slavery than they would or could be in freedom; that slavery is the natural order of human relations, and that liberty is an experiment. What shall be done with them? Our answer is, do nothing with them; mind your business, and let them mind theirs. Your doing with them is their greatest misfortune. They have been undone by your doings, and all they now ask, and really have need of at your hands, is just to let them alone. They suffer by every interference, and succeed best by being let alone." ~ Frederick Douglass

Rolfe's tobacco crop launched a country
In June 1609, while voyaging from England to the Virginia colony, John Rolfe found himself on an unplanned, fateful layover in an island paradise.
A four-day storm (the same one that is said to have inspired Shakespeare's "The Tempest") scattered and destroyed ships, and Rolfe, his wife Sarah, and several other passengers were stranded in Bermuda.
During the next year, while the 100-or-so castaways built two new ships to finish the trip to Jamestown, Sarah gave birth to the Rolfes' daughter, Bermuda. Neither Sarah or her infant daughter – said to be the first English child born in Bermuda – survived for long afterwards, however. A few years after landing in Jamestown in May 1610, Rolfe named his plantation Bermuda Hundred for his daughter.
Some historians believe that during his Bermuda experience, Rolfe found tobacco seeds. But regardless of whether he obtained seeds there, he soon began experimenting in earnest with the blending and cultivating of various strains of tobacco.
Within a few years, Rolfe had created a new variety of tobacco that became immensely popular when it was shipped to England, providing the proverbial shot in the arm to a Virginia economy that was practically in its death throes.
Rolfe's success with the "green gold" transformed the struggling colony into a prosperous commercial center, established the basis for a thriving agricultural economy, and provided the economic incentive Europeans needed for expanded investment and settlement in Virginia.
For its role in saving the colony and shaping the future development of the New World, the success of John Rolfe's tobacco crop ranks No. 1 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant events in Henrico's 400-year history.
Green gold
Agricultural Specialist Lindsay Gray of Henricus Historical Park, who has cultivated tobacco for 12 years at Henricus and Meadow Farm Museum, can appreciate the challenges Rolfe faced as he developed the new strain (a practice known as "sporting").
Tobacco does not grow easily from seeds, says Gray, speculating that Rolfe probably worked with "sets" of plants – similar to small tomato plants – as he conducted what he called his "trialls." Once he coaxed the plants through the difficult nursery phase, Rolfe still had to fend off insect pests such as the flea beetle.
A pipe smoker, Rolfe determined that native strains of tobacco grown by the Powhatan Indians were too harsh and would never catch on in Europe. Obtaining seeds from strains of Trinidad, Orinoco and perhaps Spanish tobacco, Rolfe most likely planted native and imported sets side by side – "near enough to interpollinate," says Gray.
Although there is no record that Rolfe ever lived at Henricus, it was likely the site of one of the "field stations" where he conducted his tests, says Gray. Through his "trialls," Rolfe perfected a fragrant blend that was not only milder and sweeter than the native tobacco, but also well-suited to Virginia growing conditions.
At a 2004 brown bag lecture about Henricus, Dr. Dennis A.J. Morey described the impetus for what Rolfe did next.
"The Virginia Company," said Morey, "kept urging the settlers, 'Don't send the ships back empty. Send us something we can sell!'"
So Rolfe shipped part of his crop back to England in 1614 -- and soon had a hit on his hands.
In short order, tobacco became the primary crop and export at Henricus. Although considered inferior to fine Spanish tobacco, the mellow Virginia strain pleased palates not only in England, but also among the Dutch and the French.
As Louis Manarin tells it in The History of Henrico County, "By 1619, 'Virginia went tobacco mad.'
"This was a breakthrough," said Morey, "because Rolfe established a commercial justification for the settlement. Till then it was strictly a military presence."
Pocahontas and Varina Farms
Having married the Indian princess Pocahontas in 1614 (visit http://www.HenricoCitizen.com to read a July 2011 article), Rolfe now lived at his farm just across the James River from Henricus.
Because he thought his combination resembled a variety from Barinas, Spain, Rolfe named his tobacco – and his farm – Varina. At Varina Farms, Pocahontas probably worked alongside her husband in the tobacco fields at some point; in 1615, she gave birth to the couple's son, Thomas.
Two years later, during a family trip to England, Pocahontas contracted pneumonia (or perhaps tuberculosis) and died. Rolfe returned home to Virginia, leaving Thomas in England to get an education. He never saw his son again; but at the age of 20, Thomas Rolfe moved back to Virginia and claimed his parents' land.
Continuing to farm tobacco at his Bermuda Hundred plantation, John Rolfe remarried and had a daughter. In 1622, the same year that an Indian massacre wiped out Henricus, Rolfe died. It is not known whether he died in the massacre, but there are indications that he was ill, and he had made out his will the previous year.
From bust to boom
In May 2000, as part of an effort to promote John Rolfe's and Henricus' role in the development of the tobacco industry, Philip Morris USA (now Altria) lent 500 of its employees to the effort to establish Henricus Historical Park's first pathways and exhibit areas.
Today, with the help of additional financial support from Altria, the John Rolfe Farm exhibit includes the tobacco barn and fields where Lindsay Gray and other interpreters use 17th-century tools and methods to demonstrate the fashion in which Rolfe would have tended his crop.
A relative unknown in his own time, John Rolfe likely died unaware of his role in creating the New World's first cash crop and would no doubt be amazed that his tobacco blend has been venerated to such status.
But while Rolfe's crop failed to provide the get-rich-quick scenario that Virginia Company investors may have been seeking, says Gray, it was plentiful – and plenty lucrative.
"This wasn't quick wealth, but it was steady," says Gray, noting that even then, indulging in tobacco tended to become a habit.
And at a price of one to three shillings, it was an inexpensive indulgence as well. "Once they became accustomed to tobacco," says Gray, "they were not likely to give it up."
In contrast to the preceding decade, when commercial interest in the colony had dwindled (along with the population) to next to nothing, the spike in tobacco production of the 1620s produced a corresponding spike in migration.
The wave of new settlers, who scattered their farms up and down the rivers of Virginia's tidewater region, launched a population boom that even the massacre failed to decimate, and yanked the colony back from the brink of economic bust.
Quite simply, as Gray sums up, "Tobacco was Virginia's economic savior."

Seahawks Claim 12th At FSU Match-Up
Courtesy: UNCW Athletic Communications
Release: 02/17/2013
TALLAHASSEE, Florida - The UNCW women's golf team combined for a team-total 307 and claimed 12th place as the Florida State Match-Up came to a close Sunday at the Southwood Golf Club.
The Seahawks finished the event with a 54-hole total of 937 (323-307-307), five shots back of 11th-place UNC Greensboro (314-310-308=932).
No. 16 Georgia posted the only under-par score of the day on Sunday, finishing with a one-under total of 287 to rally from an eight stroke deficit and claim the tournament title with a 290-300-287=877 scorecard. No. 6 Oklahoma took second with a tournament total of 881 (298-284-299) while No. 33 Tennessee claimed third with an 882 (291-299-292) result.
Junior Lori Beth Adams posted a two-over-par 74 on Sunday to finish tied for 18th overall with a three-day total of 225 (79-72-74). Junior Jeanne Metivier carded a one-over 73 in the final round to earn a share of 31st with a 229 (81-755-73) tournament finish. Sophomores Mattie Tobey (80-78-77=235/T-49th) and Mallory Warrick (83-82-88=253/62nd) and junior Megan Burnham (87-84-83=254/63rd) completed UNCW's entry.
Georgia's Rocio Sanchez Lobato (66-74-74=214) and Tennessee's Erica Popson (70-73-71=214) shared individual medalist honors as both players finished the tournament tied at two-under-par. Three players - Chirapat Jao-Javani of Oklahoma, Jessica Negron of Florida State and Laura Wearn of Furman - finished two strokes back of the duo in a three-way tie for third.
UNCW returns to action March 8-10 in the JMU Eagle Landing Invitational in Jacksonville, Fla.

Hurricane Sandy's predicted track continued to hone in on areas along the New Jersey coastline on Sunday afternoon, as the National Hurricane warned of a "life threatening" storm surge associated with the massive storm.
The Barrier islands in Ocean County had already started to flood by late morning, and waves whipped up by already-gusty winds began eroding beaches.
On Long Beach Island, crews made quick work of last-minute checklist items in preparation for the storm, including taking away metal trash and recycling cans at beach entrances.
In Brick Township, officials ordered all residents off the barrier island section of town, and prepared a local state of emergency that would ban nonessential motor vehicle traffic in town after 11 p.m., Police Chief Nils R. Bergquist said.
Meanwhile, National Hurricane Center forecasters said at 11 a.m. Sunday that no significant changes had been made to the predicted track of the immense weather system, and landfall was still expected to occurr somewhere on the New Jersey coast.
Forecast model guidance was "tightly packed," meaning nearly all of the forecast models agreed on the storm's path.
A storm surge map showed a more than 50 percent chance of a four-foot surge in Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic counties, and a 40 percent chance of a surge up to six feet.
The hurricane center warned the storm surge, a wall of water that rushes onshore as a storm makes landfall, could prove "life threatening."
"There is still some potential for Sandy to intensify slightly as a tropical system," a forecast released by the hurricane center said Sunday, before the storm turns into what is known as a hybrid, "extratropical system."
That hybrid system could prove just as dangerous as the named hurricane, however.
"This transition will not diminish the overall impacts of this dangerous weather system," forecasters noted.

- To stretch the super knitter Review by Jenny Wills
Power Cables by Lily M Chin is a brilliantly titled and humorously written book to extend a knitters skills into the territory of cabling. The book is laid out in lessons to build skills and explain the authors charting method, it also includes projects to utilise these skills. Lily recommends that even if you have cabled before that you complete lesson one to get to grips with her charting technique. I took this book on holiday with Mum too, so she was the first one to get a proper look, she was immediately grabbing her needles to try the double sided cable and got in a right pickle- lots of tooth sucking and muttering. It would have been a bit mean spirited of me to take any pleasure in the super knitters

- Power Cables is one of the best knitting books I have read this year. Review by Dana Wright
I had always looked at cable knitting with longing, but never thought I would be able to do it with my level of knitting experience. Recently, I learned to purl, so I wasn''t sure about learning anything else new. Power cables made what was once a scary prospect into something I could actually do, and enjoy. The projects are attractive and easy to figure out with the chart and written directions. I love this book. It is a must for all knitters.

INDIANAPOLIS — If you see an elephant in the left turn lane this Thursday, don't be alarmed. He's supposed to be here.
He's coming with the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, in town from Nov. 29 through Dec. 2. The event will kick off with a parade that traditionally ushers in the circus as performers and elephants will be making their way from Bankers Life Fieldhouse to Monument Circle starting at 11:45 a.m.
Sessions for the show are 7 p.m. Nov. 29 and 30; 11 a.m., 3 and 7 p.m. Dec. 1; and 1 and 5 p.m. Dec. 2.
Regarding the parade on Nov. 29, Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey are partnering with the Indiana National Guard and Operation Christmas Care where patrons can bring a new unwrapped toy or teen clothing valued at more than $10 and receive a free ticket to opening night.
"We know that military personnel overseas that come back home and their needs have grown significantly from coming over and not having the financial means to have a nice Christmas with their family," said Lisa Finch, Ringling Bros. publicist.
Finch said the goal was to make it a dual giving event, where those who might not otherwise get a chance to see the show can bring an item and get a free ticket. The community drop off time for the new clothes and toys is from noon to 6 p.m.
This is the third such year for the event to occur in December. The parade will start north on Delaware Street from the Fieldhouse and then go west on Market Street, around Monument Circle, and continue back south on Pennsylvania Avenue.
"Traditionally, when Ringling Bros. comes to Indianapolis, we like to parade the elephant to Monument Circle for a special event," Finch said. "t helps in announcing that the Greatest Show on Earth has arrived."
She noted that the elephants react to the temperatures much like humans, and that 40 degrees and sunny is something they would enjoy. She also said it gives them exercise outdoors, which they also enjoy.
This year's show is called DRAGONS, honoring the once-in-a-millennium event, the Year of the Dragon. Performers are coming from the farthest reaches of the globe to participate, and world renowned ringmaster Johnathan Lee Iverson will also return to the tour.
"It's a unique opportunity to see something that you've never seen," Finch said. "I've never seen dragons and I don't think anyone in this life span has. (Iverson) is iconic in the circus world as one of the top ring masters. He was once one of Barbara Walters' 100 most interesting people in the world. He had a stint with Ringling Bros. for several years, and then he left and went off and started his family. Now he's back as a ringmaster, along with his wife, who is a line captain. He really carries the entire show along with the animal acts."
Other popular acts will include the Shaolin Kung Fu Warriors, charging Cossack riders, Asian elephants, tigers, and the frenzied Globe of Steel, an eight motorcycle act in a large steel bubble of sorts.

WHAT: Greatest Show on Earth

After releasing a photograph of the suspect, Howard County Police have arrested an Essex man who they say was caught on tape stealing packages from a home in Columbia.
Police say Kenneth Randolph Sheehan, Jr., 41, of Essex, is also facing charges in another jurisdiction for stealing packages. According to court records, Sheehan faces multiple theft charges in Anne Arundel County.
According to police, a surveillance system at a house on the 6200 block of Tamar Drive in Columbia captured a UPS vehicle delivering packages to the house at about 2:40 p.m. on Nov. 28.
In the video, a man gets out of the Subaru and takes the packages from the front door area of the home, puts them in the car and drives off.
Howard County Police released photos of the man to the public and a tip led them to Sheehan, according to a statement released by police spokesperson Sherry Llewellyn. His arrest was announced in a statement released by police on Dec. 21.
Last year, a similar incident occurred just before Christmas when police said a woman pulled into an Ellicott City driveway and stole a package from a doorstep. That incident, too, was captured on the resident's video surveillance camera.
Christmas is over, but late gifts and returns ensure parcels will still be vulnerable to theft. Police are asking residents to ensure packages reach their destination by confirming with recipients. If you believe a package has been stolen, police suggest residents:
- Check the back or side doors to see if the package was left at a different location.
- Check with neighbors to see if a package was delivered to the wrong address
- Call the delivery company to confirm the package was delivered
- Report the missing package to Howard County Police at: 410-313-2200
To prevent package thefts during the holiday season and year-round, police suggest residents:
- Track shipments
- Be home when packages are scheduled to arrive
- If you won't be home, have packages delivered to work
- Ask the shipping company to deliver packages to a discreet location, such as a back door
- Ask neighbors to hold packages until you get home
Police also warn residents to be aware of suspicious people and vehicles. Delivery drivers, too, should be aware of vehicles that seem to be following them, according to police.
And if you notice suspicious behavior, police ask that you call 911 immediately and take note of any related vehicle's make, model and license plate number.

Imagine if Death Wish took place in a small mountain town, and the victim wasn't a wife or a daughter, but a scraggly ol' pooch. That's the basic plot of the strangely satisfying revenge thriller Red. Based on the (very good) novel by Jack Ketchum, it's a simple tale of how love and affection can sometimes inspire some of the nastiest human emotions imaginable. When does a demand for justice become a desperate craving for revenge? It's a simple but interesting question that screenwriter Stephen Susco (The Grudge) does a fine job of exploring.
The seriously excellent Brian Cox plays a perfectly affable (if somewhat melancholy) widower whose only companion is a sweet old dog named Red. But after a trio of despicable teenagers invade Avery's fishing spot -- and shoot the poor dog in the head with a shotgun -- our protagonist's miseries turn into a thirst for justice. He tracks the shotgun casing to an affluent family, but when the dog-killer's father (a wonderfully sleazy Tom Sizemore) refuses to punish his son, Avery decides to get the job done himself. To that end, he enlists a lawyer and a TV reporter to help his cause -- but all that does is make things worse.
Suffice to say that things quickly spiral out of control ... and it seems pretty obvious that things are not going to end peacefully. But Red is not one of those bloodthirsty "Ooh, go kill people!" sort of revenge thriller (although it does offer a little of that stuff); instead it's a surprisingly smart and impressively well-paced little film. Aside from the fantastic work from Cox and Sizemore, the film also boasts some very strong supporting turns from Richard Riehle (the
lawyer) and Kim Dickens (the reporter).
As the three nasty little antagonists, Noel Fisher, Kyle Gallner, and Shiloh Fernandez are also quite good -- although the regretful one (Gallner) does the best work with the toughest role. Toss in a few colorful appearances from the likes of Amanda Plummer, Robert Englund, and Ashley Laurence, and you've got the makings of a movie that the horror fans will almost definitely enjoy -- even if it's more of a dramatic thriller than a basic horror flick.
Co-directed by Norwegian filmmaker Trygve Diesen and the always-reliable Lucky McKee*, Red is not only a fine adaptation of a fascinating novel, but it makes for a tight-fisted and engrossing little movie in its own right. In the hands of lesser filmmakers, this would have been a dryly familiar story of anger and retribution, but between the contributions of Susco, Cox, and McKee, Red adds a surprising amount of color to an oft-told tale.
(* Early reports indicate that Lucky McKee was removed from the project just before shooting was finished. I mention this not to knock McKee (whose movies I generally love), but to give both directors fair credit. If, however, Mr. McKee directed more than 75% of the film, I'd argue that he deserves a little more credit himself.)

Re: Scoring.........PS3ATVIAssist Dec 4, 2012 12:23 AM (in response to CobraStang_SVT)
Hello CobraStang_SVT,
There is a typo for the Black Ops 2 Operations/Challenges. There is no premium membership for Black Ops 2. It is free. For clicking on other player's profile, are you viewing the profile in-game or through Elite? Does this only occur for the top scorer or it happens whenever you click on someone else's profile.
Re: Scoring.........PS3CobraStang_SVT Dec 5, 2012 6:14 AM (in response to ATVIAssist)
JJ, I am viewing through elite on my laptop, and this happens when I click on anyone's name, not just the top scorer. Is there a way to check these stats in game on MW3 or is this just BOPS 2? Lastly, my clan competed in the Dec. 1 MW3 clan operations, and were not awarded anything, it doesn't even show the operation as being enlisted. Thanks for your help.
