SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tech stocks closed out August in mostly upbeat fashion Friday, with Splunk Inc. and OmniVision Technologies Inc. among the standout gainers ahead of the U.S. Labor Day holiday weekend.
But Facebook Inc. /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed/quotes/nls/fb FB -0.40% suffered another day of bruising, as a Wall Street analyst took a negative view of the social-media giant's near-term prospects, and comments from Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke on the state of the U.S. economy had some sway with investors through the day. Read "Why we won't see another Facebook."
Will the new iPhone be delayed?
iPhone screen production delayed at Sharp; Myanmar government reveals high-profile names on former blacklist; and maker of fake Hermès bags gets life sentence.
Investors made their last moves of the month, and ahead of the Labor Day holiday that will close U.S. markets on Monday. For the week, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -0.39% was essentially flat, yet finished August with a gain of 4.3%.
Data-analytics company Splunk Inc. /quotes/zigman/9588578/delayed/quotes/nls/splk SPLK -5.85% rose almost 13%, to $34.40 a share, after it reported upbeat second-quarter results, and gave a better-than-expected third-quarter outlook late Wednesday. Splunk, which went public earlier this year, said it lost $4.6 million, or 5 cents a share, on revenue of $44.5 million, compared with a loss of $3.9 million, or 20 cents a share, on $25.9 million in sales a year ago.
Excluding one-time items, Splunk lost a penny a share, while analysts surveyed by FactSet had forecast a loss of 4 cents a share, on revenue of $39.8 million. For its current quarter, Splunk expects to report sales of between $45 million and $47 million, while analysts had forecast $44.6 million in revenue.

OmniVision /quotes/zigman/82509/delayed/quotes/nls/ovti OVTI +4.29% pulled back from its high point, but still closed with a gain of 2%, at $16.25, following the digital-imaging technology company's upbeat quarterly results late Wednesday.
Gains also came from Apple Inc. /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed/quotes/nls/aapl AAPL +0.55% , Hewlett-Packard Co. /quotes/zigman/229301/delayed/quotes/nls/hpq HPQ -1.18% , Microsoft Corp. /quotes/zigman/20493/delayed/quotes/nls/msft MSFT -0.70% , eBay Inc. /quotes/zigman/76117/delayed/quotes/nls/ebay EBAY -0.57% and Google Inc. /quotes/zigman/30194416/delayed/quotes/nls/goog GOOG -0.97% .
The Nasdaq Composite Index rose more than 18 points to close at 3,066, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index /quotes/zigman/1468249/delayed SOX +0.37% ended the day with a gain of 1.4%.
However, Facebook fell 5.4% to its lowest closing level of $18.06 a share.
Bank of America/Merrill Lynch analyst Justin Post cut his price target on Facebook's stock to $23 a share from $35, and said the "risk of future selling pressure" on the stock will continue through the rest of the year and other post-IPO lockup expirations occur.

At the Federal Reserve's retreat in Jackson Hold, Wyo., Fed Chairman Bernanke said that he would consider methods such as more quantitative easing to help the U.S. labor market. Bernanke didn't say that any new economic-stimulus plans were in the works, but that stagnation in the labor sector was a matter of ongoing concern. Read more on Bernanke.

It is a good value given that I had a $10 credit to put towards it.
I have seen butter bells for a while but was somewhat skeptical - didn't think it could really work. Was I wrong. This keeps the butter at the perfect spreading temperature - not too hard, not too soft. My only improvement to the design would be to have a marker in the crock to show the water level. Definitely pleased and would recommend to anyone butter lover!
Just the right color and nice weight but the cup seems smaller than my old one. I'll see when I fill it from scratch.. I really love being able to keep soft fresh butter on the kitchen counter.
really like the butter bell-would like one that would hold up to 2 sticks of butter
It does exactly what is says it will do - it keeps butter at a spreadable consistency. I've found myself eating more toasted breads and muffins ; )

Cincinnati Police and SWAT have made several arrests in Walnut Hills on Friday.
Police were serving warrants at Red Point on East McMillan, near the intersection of Gilbert Ave. for suspected drug activity.
It's near the scene where an 18-year-old man was shot to death on March 20. Jack Cody, 18, was found suffering from a gunshot wound at the corner of Curtis and St. James Street. No arrests have been made in his murder.
Following the shooting, several neighbors told FOX19 that violent crime in that area was getting out of control.
FOX19 is working to gather more information and will update this story as we learn more.

The Fairfield Board of Education voted Tuesday to extend the 2012-2013 school year beyond the current end date of Friday, June 21 to make up for a maximum of five additional no-school days.
Any additional no-school days beyond those five will be made up during April break, beginning on Monday, April 15.
The proposal to add the days to the end of the year was put forth in response to the six school days lost during and after Hurricane Sandy.
"I think it's the best solution for us," Pamela Iacono, who was elected vice chair at Tuesday's meeting, said.
Iacono said that after the board chose to cut the 2013 February break last year, they should have thought to safeguard April break in the event of excessive no-school days -- and extending the school year is a way to do that.
Any makeup days following June 21 will not affect high school graduations, Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Title added. Graduation is scheduled for Thursday, June 20. As long as the date falls after the 185th day since the school year began (which, in this case, it does), graduation can remain as scheduled, regardless if the school year is extended five days, to June 28.
The board discussed other options that would help preserve April break:
- The school board could have chosen to hold school on the professional development day scheduled for Friday, Feb. 15, and extended the school year for up to four days instead of five;
- The board could choose to hold school on any legal holiday not falling during the months of December or January. Those options include Presidents' Day (Monday, Feb. 18), Good Friday (March 29), and Memorial Day (May 27).
- The board could cut Fairfield's planned and budgeted 182-day school year to the statutory 180 days, which Title said would be "sub-optimal."
Members Perry Liu and John Convertito both said that the school year should remain as scheduled and -- if need be -- the next five no-school days should be made up during April break.
"The reason we changed the calendar last year was so the students and staff would not be going into that last week of June," Convertito said, recalling how hot it was during the Class of 2012's late-June high school graduation ceremonies. He said he would choose to reduce the school year from 182 days to 180.
Resident Suzanne Miska of Ryegate Road told the board that she didn't see why "we can't go before the state" to get the days lost due to Sandy pardoned.
According to a memo from Title to the school board, Commissioner of Education Stefan Pryor "did not seem receptive" to the idea that the State Board of Education could waive the mandated 180-day requirement, and it "would not be prudent to count on such relief."
The board voted to extend the school year 6-3. Newly elected Chairman Philip Dwyer, Iacono, Jessica Gerber, Paul Fattibene, Tim Kery, and Sue Brand voted in favor; Convertito, Liu, and Jennifer Maxon Kennelly opposed the motion.

"The Lost Library" takes place in a remote cave near the mouth of the Chaos Scar. Through the course of the adventure, the PCs encounter a tribe of kobolds that has recently unearthed an ancient arcane library that predates the valley. The characters have the opportunity to explore the library, uncovering a portal to a sorcerer's abandoned inner sanctum. "The Lost Library" is a short adventure for five 2nd-level characters.
As you turn the corner, the natural walls of the passage abruptly transition into well-crafted stonework. A rock wall that sealed off the tunnel has been pushed down and now lies scattered on the floor, allowing access to a chamber illuminated by a soft blue glow. Two ransacked bookshelves lean against the walls of the room. The contents of the shelves have been thrown into a moldering pile on the floor.
(For details on the Chaos Scar and its environs, read the Chaos Scar introduction and check out the map of the entire valley. Then check out and join the Chaos Scar group on the D&D Community pages.)

Amplite(TM) Fluorimetric Goat Anti-Mouse IgG-HRP Conjugate ELISA Assay Kit *Red Fluorescence*
Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is a small molecule (MW 40 KD) that is widely used in a variety of biological detections. HRP conjugates are extensively used as secondary detection reagents in ELISAs, immuno-histochemical techniques, Northern, Southern and Western blot analyses. Due to its small size, it rarely causes steric hindrance problem with antibody/antigen complex formation. It is usually conjugated to an antibody in a 4:1 ratio. Additionally, HRP is inexpensive compared to other labeling enzymes. The major disadvantage associated with peroxidase is their low tolerance to many preservatives such as sodium azide that inactivates peroxidase activity even at low concentration. Our Amplite(TM) Fluorimetric ELISA Assay Kit contains all the essential components including our fluorogenic Amplite(TM) Red HRP substrate for ELISA detection. The kit provides an optimized assay protocol that is compatible with HTS liquid handling, as little as 10 pg of a monoclonal antibody/well of a microplate can be detected. Its signal can be easily read by either fluorescence microplate reader with Ex/Em = 530 to 570 nm/590 to 600 nm or absorbance microplate reader at ~570 nm. It can be used for assays that detect goat anti-mouse IgG as the secondary detection agent.

Two important deadlines are coming up fast for Marin County Property Owners. Property Tax Reassessment for Temporary Property Tax Relief is due November 1st; while the First Installment of Property Tax Payment is also due November 1st, delinquent December 10th.
PROPERTY TAX REASSESSMENT DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 1st
Concerned about how much property tax you are paying and think you might be paying more than your fair share even after Marin County's automatic re-assessment?
Marin county property owners can apply for re-assessment of their property tax annually for a temporary reduction. The filing period is July 1 through Nov. 1, 2012, inclusive.
This is to request an informal review of the assessment of your property for a temporary relief of your property tax if you feel the market value of your home is less than the assessed value as of Jan. 1, 2012. If approved by the county, your property tax for the coming year will be lower based on the lower assessed property value.
You will need to provide the county with three comparable properties that sold close to Jan. 1, 2012 and no later than March 31, 2012. You will then be able to provide your opinion on the value of your home based on the properties selected.
Here is the link for the Marin County Property Informal Assessment Review Request Form. The form has in-depth information about how property tax works under Proposition 13 and how to apply for this temporary reduction.
Note that Informal Assessment Review forms postmarked after November 1, 2012 or delivered to the Assessor's Office AFTER 4 pm NOVEMBER 1, 2012 WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.
The best way to get the information is to ask your trusted Realtor to provide you with three comparable properties that meet the county's requirement. If needed, he/she might even be able to do a write-up to support the suggested assessment value.
Every little bit counts; especially during this difficult economy. Do it now before you forget ... and good luck.
PROPERTY TAX PAYMENT FIRST INSTALLMENT DUE NOVEMBER 1st, DELINQUENT AFTER DECEMBER 10th
Are you one of the property owners who wait until the last minute to pay your property tax?
The first installment of the Marin County real property tax is due on November 1st; and delinquent December 10th. To avoid the stiff 10-percent penalty, property owners must pay their first installment by 5 p.m. or on the close of business on Dec. 10, whichever is later. Payments sent by US Mail must be POSTMARKED by the USPS on or before December 10.
A few ways to pay the property tax:
- Pay in Person at the Marin Civic Center.
- Pay by mail, postmarked on or before Dec. 10.
- Pay online with credit card or electronic funds transfer from your checking or saving accounts. Go to www.co.marin.ca.us/paytax for details.
- Pay by phone at 800-985-7277 with either a credit card or electronic funds transfer.
First Installment covers property tax from 07/01/2012 to 12/31/2012.
Second installment covers property tax from 01/01/2013 to 06/30/2013.
Property tax bill is sent out once a year on 9/30. Property owners who misplaced or never received their property tax bills can call the tax collectors' office for duplicate property tax bill to be sent.
The office has a program to help those who cannot afford their tax bill. Don't hesitate to ask for advice.

Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006) is usually considered an author of science fiction, but though his stories have the appropriate apparatus – spaceships, alien life-forms, robots – in mood and structure they are closer to fairy tale, myth or dream, writes Robert Hanks.

In the mind's eye, the Eastern Europe of the cold war is painted with a grey wash, enlivened by occasional splashes of beige, writes Robert Hanks.

Sherlock Holmes was a lovely movie about Sherlock Holmes and the unspoken (well, not so unspoken) bro love between him and his second banana, Dr. Watson. Don't let the other love interests or even the mystery in the movie fool you. This was a romantic comedy of the two famous fictional Brits.
Sure, there was action. Plenty of it. But there was only one part of the movie that really caught my attention: the banter between Holmes and Watson. You could've filled up the entire movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law exchanging friendly barbs, and I would've been a happy camper.
If you wish to see this movie, see it for these two actors' performance. The rest is just dross.

Crusaders Clipped by Cleveland State
Sunday, September 17, 2006Despite an 18-3 shot advantage in the second half and Viking red card in the 85th minute, the Crusaders could not overcome a halftime deficit and lost 2-1 to Cleveland State Sunday afternoon at Eastgate Field.
The Brown and Gold scored the match's first goal, but quickly then fell behind and could not get on past Viking keeper Kasey Gray, who made seven saves, four in the second half. The Crusaders lost for the first time all season when scoring first, and fell for only the second time in six home matches.
John Allendorf (Hobart, Ind./Hobart) came off the bench and gave Valpo a quick spark, bouncing a shot off the crossbar that ricocheted to Jeremy Stacy (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Central) on the right side. Stacy served it back to Allendorf in the middle who beat Gray and scored just the second goal of his three-year varsity career and first of the season in the 28th minute. Stacy's assist was his team-leading fourth of the season and the 13th of his career. Stacy and D.J. Catrow (Springfield, Ohio/Catholic Central) are now tied for third on Valpo's career assist list, three behind all-time leader Brian Thiel.
But less than four minutes later, Ryan Schwarz (Rockford, Ill./Boylan Catholic) took down a streaking Cleveland State attacker in the corner of the box setting up a Viking penalty kick. David Stewart converted to tie the match, and the Cleveland State captain scored again two minutes later to make it 2-1.
After being out-shot 11-9 while playing into the wind in the first half, the Crusaders had an 18-3 shot advantage with the wind in the second period. The Brown and Gold had several near misses, hitting the post once and crossbar three times in the match.
In the 85th minute, Cleveland State's Bryan Henson picked up his second yellow card of the match, leading to an ejection, and the Crusaders immediately unleashed a barrage of shots in the frantic final minutes. Steve Shively (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) put the ball in the net in the closing minutes after a pair of big Gray saves, but the play was ruled offside.
Valpo set season highs in shots (27) and corner kicks (13), and got six shots apiece from Jon Brighton (Warner Robins, Ga./Houston County) and Catrow. Schwarz made four saves, two in each half, and took the loss.
The Crusaders (5-3-0, 1-0-0) will return to Mid-Con play next weekend, taking on Centenary in Shreveport, La. Saturday at 3:00 p.m. in their only match of the week.

Majority manipulations
Advocates for stricter gun laws point to surveys showing that a majority of people support additional background checks (and other restrictions) so something "must" be done by our government.
Yet a recent survey done by Elon University showed that 72 percent of North Carolinians support voter ID for N.C., and some are telling us that it doesn't matter what the majority wants.
Why is poll majority on one issue important, but should be disregarded on another? Either it's never important, or it's always important. If you claim it can be both, then public opinion doesn't really mean anything to you. It's just to manipulate the agenda you support.
Fortunately, we don't live in a democracy (mob rule). We live in a constitutional republic, where the minority opinion has protections.

— PLATTSBURGH — When he first purchased property along the Great Chazy River in Coopersville in the 1990s, Andy Black never imagined he would unravel a mystery that had been buried for two centuries.
But it was inevitable: as a professional archaeologist and professor of archaeology, he had training and an interest in the past that was bound to lead him to the site of a homestead long lost and forgotten.
He offered a glimpse of the recent archaeological investigations at what he calls Coop's Pork N' Fish Site during a presentation at Clinton County Historical Association Museum.
"This site looks like an old homestead that was on the property no later than the 1820s," Black told about three dozen people in attendance. "It's very well preserved and can tell us something about the people who settled there."
As a new landowner in 1997, Black got involved in a project with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to protect the Great Chazy River from agricultural runoff.
The concept involved creating a 50-foot strip of land along the river that would be used as a natural filter for surface water flowing from pasture to river.
One of the responsibilities for such a project is to conduct a historic preservation survey of the property in question. As a professional archaeologist, Black initiated that requirement and came across artifacts that suggested the property had been used by settlers of the Champlain hamlet of Coopersville early on.
In an area adjacent to the river, he found several artifacts, including bricks, china fragments, glass and the bones of fish and pork — the remains of food those original settlers had been eating.
"I knew I had something here," he said.
In 1999, he enlisted the aid of some students from Potsdam University, who helped set up an excavation grid and began searching for further evidence of the homestead.
At one point, they found a fairly well-preserved wooden beam that happened to be hollow inside. Upon further investigation, the beam turned out to be part of a drainage system from the former homestead to the river.
"Part of this area after the Revolutionary War was set aside for Canadian citizens who had fought for the U.S.," Black said of the possible first settlers to Coopersville.
"After the war, people started settling in what would have been considered a remote area."
However, official records of property owners in the late 1700s and early 1800s are sketchy, and Black could not locate documents to specifically say who may have first lived on his land.
A property map from 1848 clearly identifies other parcels in the area, but the people who had settled on the lot where Black's efforts were focused were no longer there when the document was created.
"Oftentimes, people would put up a log cabin to settle a tract of land and would build a wood-framed house after a few years," he explained. "That didn't happen here. Where they (the original settlers) went, I have no idea."
Excavation at the site was put on hold at the turn of the century as Black became involved in running his own archeological-survey business, but his interest has returned in the past several years.
Working as an archaeology instructor for SUNY Plattsburgh, Black reopened the site as a living classroom for his students.
Their work over the past few summers has allowed him to pinpoint where the original cabin stood, including the location of the settlers' fireplace and an unusual crawlspace beneath the home.
They've found a plethora of artifacts, including buttons, brass thimbles and even charred seeds that identify what kinds of fruits and vegetables the settlers had been eating.
Pieces of dishes they collected helped pinpoint the homestead as pre-1820 by the color and design used on the china, he noted.
"Dishes can tell us a lot about people," he said. "Are they expensive or cheap, imported or local? Ceramics are very datable."
He categorized the china as inexpensive and probably manufactured locally.
"This archaeological work has brought to light new information on how this family adapted to the environment, how they stayed connected to the wider, growing community and gives us a rare glimpse of daily life in a frontier area," he said.
There is still plenty more to uncover, he added. Work to this point has located the original cabin, but an aerial view of the surrounding pasture shows an oddly colored rectangle nearby. That location will be the focus of upcoming excavations, Black said.
All combined, the work at Coop's Pork N' Fish Site offers a unique look at what it was like living in northeastern New York when settlements were just beginning to take shape.

The owner of Route 75's Pool Table Magic, Mark Kulungian, has requested the Windsor Locks planning and zoning commission approve a modification to his business — a change from a billiards hall to gentlemen's club that has some up in arms.
According to Kulungian's application for approval, filled out by his attorney, he "desires to present a type of live entertainment at its business premises to include presentation of First Amendment-protected dance performances which contain... an emphasis on sexuality."
The application continues, describing the performances as "not obscene," and "sexually explicit dance routines" performed by topless dancers.
Modifications required to accommodate such entertainment are numerous, according to Kulungian's application including transforming the current business, which features into a floor plan of tables, chairs and a full bar situated around a stage-performance area.
Kulungian has applied for a liquor license to draw patrons to his proposed bar area, and has proposed his gentleman's club include more than 50 seats.
Get Windsor news delivered to you every day! Sign up here to receive all the headlines every morning for free!
According to drafts of the new club, a billiards small room will be included.
While Kulungian's application makes the case for the proposal by describing it as a business protected by First Amendment rights provided by the U.S. Constitution and by a town ordinance pertaining to adult-entertainment businesses, some in the area have been outspoken about their opposition to the site plan change.
Not only was a letter to the editor recently submitted to Windsor Locks-East Windsor Patch, which read "I cannot believe that any reputable business owner on Route 75 welcomes this type of facility, but some residents have chosen to join forces against something they see as a threat to life in town.
A group of self-described local citizens and businesses, acting as a group under the name Windsor Locks Citizens for a Safe Community (WLCSC) recently announced plans to publicly oppose Kulungian's proposed gentlemen's club at a public hearing scheduled to be held at the planning and zoning commission's Feb. 11 meeting.
According to the group, its opposition to the proposed business is based on "various studies depicting the negative repercussions such sexually-oriented businesses have on communities — especially smaller ones like Windsor Locks."
Windsor Locks, WLCSC representatives said, citing an unidentified source of crime statistics, would be subjected to possibility of an increase of crime because "crime is greater in places with sexually-orientated businesses compared to areas without it."
WLCSC's concerns are echoed in numerous letters written to town officials and the state department of consumer protection from Hilton Hotel personnel.
Hilton's Homewood Suites is located next door to the current Pool Table Magic location on Route 75, and argued, in a letter to the department of consumer protection, the establishment of an adult-entertainment business to the Route 75 strip would bring "certain elements" to the neighborhood that will enghance crimes associated with drugs and other illegal activities.
Additionally, Homewood Suites associates argued the proposed gentlemen's would negatively affect area property values and would deter clientele from choosing the hotel due to an unwillingness to stay next to a business showcasing exotic dancers.
A public hearing on the proposed gentlemen's club has been scheduled for 7 p.m. on Feb. 11 at Windsor Locks town hall.

Associated Press
PASADENA, Calif. — Stepfan Taylor rushed for 89 yards and an early touchdown, Kevin Hogan passed for 123 yards, and No. 8 Stanford won its first Rose Bowl since 1972, beating Wisconsin 20-14 on Tuesday night.
Usua Amanam made the decisive interception near midfield with 2:30 to play as the Pac-12 champion Cardinal (12-2) ended their four-decade drought in the Rose Bowl.
The Big Ten champion Badgers (8-6) lost the Rose Bowl in heartbreaking fashion for the third consecutive season. Montee Ball rushed for 100 yards and his FBS-record 83rd touchdown, but Wisconsin managed only 82 yards after halftime.
With impressive defense of its own, Wisconsin still stayed in position for an upset in the one-game return of Hall of Fame coach Barry Alvarez, who was back on the Badgers' sideline in his red sweater-vest seven years after hanging up his whistle.
When Bret Bielema abruptly left Wisconsin for Arkansas after winning the Big Ten title game, Alvarez agreed to coach his fourth Rose Bowl.
Curt Phillips went 10 for 16 for 83 yards passing and that crucial interception for Wisconsin, doing more with 64 yards on the ground.
ORANGE BOWL - No. 13 Florida State 31, No. 16 Northern Illinois 10
MIAMI — Senior fullback Lonnie Pryor, voted the game's outstanding player, ran for a career-high 134 yards and two scores in only five carries and fellow senior EJ Manuel threw for 291 yards for the Seminoles.
The victory was a consolation prize for the Seminoles (12-2), who began the season with national championship hopes. They have won five consecutive bowl games, but the victory was their first in a BCS bowl since 2000, when they beat Virginia Tech for the national championship.
Northern Illinois (12-2), playing in a BCS bowl for the first time, had a 12-game winning streak snapped. The Huskies came in as two-touchdown underdogs and fell to 5-28 against top 25 teams.
Pryor scored the first touchdown on a career-long 60-yard run, then ran 37 yards for a clinching touchdown with 10 minutes left. They were the two longest rushes allowed by Northern Illinois all season.
Manuel went 26 for 38, threw for one score and ran for another.
The Huskies were outgained 534 yards to 259.
Huskies QB Jordan Lynch came into the game leading the nation in rushing and total offense. He completed 15 of 41 for 176 yards, and carried 23 times for 44 yards. The junior became the first player in NCAA history to surpass 3,000 yards passing and 1,500 rushing in a season.
CAPITAL ONE BOWL - Georgia 45, Nebraska 31
ORLANDO, Fla. — Aaron Murray threw five touchdown passes to set a Georgia bowl record, including two in the fourth quarter, and the Bulldogs beat Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.
Murray shook off a pair of first-half interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, and passed for 427 yards — also a Bulldogs bowl record — against the nation's top-ranked passing defense. He was named the game's most valuable player.
Georgia (12-2) reached 12 wins for the third time in school history.
Nebraska (10-4) lost its third consecutive bowl game, and finished the season with two straight woeful defensive performances. The Cornhuskers lost the Big Ten championship game 70-31.
The Cornhuskers led 24-23 at the half, but committed two of their three turnovers in the final 30 minutes. Taylor Martinez had two interceptions and two touchdown passes for Nebraska and Rex Burkhead rushed for 140 yards in his final college game.
Nebraska's offense finished with 443 total yards, but the Bulldogs defense was stingy when it needed to be. They sacked Martinez five times, with All-American linebacker Jarvis Jones notching two. Damian Swann had both Georgia interceptions.
Nebraska's offense finished with 443 yards, but the Bulldogs were stingy when they needed to be.
OUTBACK BOWL - No. 11 South Carolina 33, No. 19 Michigan 28
TAMPA, Fla. — Connor Shaw led South Carolina to the brink of victory and Dylan Thompson carried the Gamecocks over the hump in the Outback Bowl.
Thompson came off the bench to throw a 32-yard touchdown pass with 11 seconds left Tuesday, enabling South Carolina to tie a school record for victories with a 33-28 win over No. 19 Michigan.
Thompson replaced Shaw during the winning drive, covering the final 43 yards after Shaw began the march from his own 30. Devin Gardner's third TD pass of the game had given Michigan a 28-27 lead.
Shaw threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns after missing South Carolina's regular season finale with a left foot sprain. Thompson led the Gamecocks (11-2) to a victory over their archrival, and threw for 117 yards and two TDs.
Gardner threw for 214 yards in his fifth start for Michigan (8-5) since Denard Robinson injured his right elbow late in the season. Robinson took some snaps at quarterback and attempted his first passes since Oct. 27, but lined up mostly at running back and rushed for 100 yards on 23 carries.
Ace Sanders caught TD passes of 4 yards from Thompson and 31 yards from Shaw, who completed 18 of 26 passes before limping off on the final drive. The speedy receiver had nine catches for 92 yards and also scored on a 63-yard punt return — one of four plays over 50 yards that Michigan yielded.
GATOR BOWL - No. 21 Northwestern 34, Mississippi State 20
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Behind huge interceptions early and late, Northwestern beat Mississippi State 34-20 in the Gator Bowl and snapped college football's longest postseason losing streak.
The Wildcats (10-3) earned their first bowl win since 1949, ending a nine-game losing skid that was tied for the longest in NCAA history. They also celebrated double-digit victories for the first time since the 1995 Rose Bowl season.
Quentin Williams returned an interception 29 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the game and Nick Vanhoose set up a late touchdown with a 39-yard interception return. Those plays were the difference in a back-and-forth game that featured more interceptions (seven) than touchdowns (six).
Northwestern's two-quarterback system kept the Bulldogs (8-5) off balance most of the day.
Scrambler Kain Colter ran for 71 yards, making up for his two interceptions. Backup Trevor Siemian threw for 120 yards and an interception, and also ran for a score.
Even with the turnovers, they were more efficient than Mississippi State's Tyler Russell.
Russell completed 12 of 28 passes for 106 yards, with two touchdowns and four interceptions. He had thrown only six picks in the first 11 games this season. LaDarius Perkins ran 19 times for 84 yards for the Bulldogs, and freshman Josh Robinson added 91 yards on seven carries.

SANFORD, Fla. — A jury has found George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch coordinator who claimed self-defense in the fatal shooting of Miami Gardens teen Trayvon Martin, not guilty.
State prosecutors had charged Zimmerman with second-degree murder, though the jury also had the option of convicting him of manslaughter.
The six-member jury, all women, returned the verdict at 10 p.m. Saturday. Seminole Circuit Judge Debra Nelson sent the jury to deliberate at about 2:30 p.m. Friday.
The verdict came after a five-week trial that caught worldwide attention, casting scrutiny on U.S. race relations and Floridas self-defense law.
As night fell Saturday, scores of demonstrators illuminated by the lights of a sea of media tents and live trucks milled about outside the Seminole criminal courthouse.
Earlier in the night, the jury sent out a note asking for a clarification on the manslaughter jury instruction. After a brief break and legal research by both sides, prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to send a note back to jurors asking them to be more specific about question.
If you have a specific question, please submit it, Seminole Circuit Judge Debra Nelson wrote on a piece of legal paper to be sent back to the jury room.
The jury did not send back a response. They worked through dinner, finishing about 8:30 p.m.
Zimmerman, 29, was charged with second-degree murder with a firearm in the killing of Martin, an unarmed teen who was shot during a violent scuffle in February 2012. The charge was punishable by up to life in prison.
But jurors could also consider manslaughter with a firearm, which carries a maximum penalty up to 30 years. The jury could also have convicted on manslaughter without a firearm, which carries a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.
Many legal analysts have long said prosecutors overreached with a second-degree murder charge, hoping for a compromise verdict that still carries a significant sentence.
I dont think its good for Mr. Zimmerman, said Miami lawyer John Priovolos, who has been following the case, discussing the jurors question. That means at the very least theyre contemplating the manslaughter charge.
Jurors deliberated Saturday morning for three hours, took a lunch break and resumed again at 1 p.m. and continuing throughout the afternoon. The jury deliberated less than four hours Friday afternoon before asking to return to their hotel rooms.
Outside the Seminole courthouse, a few dozen protesters kept watch Saturday while jurors continued their work. Most were there in support of Trayvon, hoping for a murder conviction. Their chants included Murder, not manslaughter! and [Zimmerman] Wasnt goin to Target, was lookin for a target. Zimmerman was on his way to Target when he spotted Trayvon.
Sanford residents Edna Fernandez and Roberto Isaac stood just outside of the barricaded protest area but said they, too, were hopeful for a guilty verdict.
That boy was killed, and Zimmermans trying to claim self-defense with a few small bruises? Fernandez said. Look, its not a racial thing. Were both Latino, but weve watched the whole trial, and the outcome should be obvious to anyone.
If Zimmerman is convicted of second-degree murder with a firearm, he faces up life in prison. Jurors can also consider manslaughter with a firearm, which carries a penalty of up to 30 years in prison.
The trial has captured worldwide attention, casting scrutiny on U.S. race relations and Floridas much criticized self -defense law.
In Sanford and South Florida, law enforcement, community leaders and elected officials have been urging peace and calm in the wake of the verdict.
Trayvon was in Sanford visiting his father after he was suspended from Dr. Michael Krop High in North Miami-Dade. His killing focused attention on Floridas self-defense law, which critics say promoted vigilante justice. Prominent black civil rights leaders staged rallies for Zimmermans arrest.
Sanford police initially didnt arrest Zimmerman, after he claimed self-defense. Gov. Rick Scott later appointed prosecutors from Jacksonville to investigate. Zimmerman was arrested 44 days later.
The trial began June 10 as lawyers selected an all-female, six-person jury; of the jurors, five are white, one is Hispanic.
Over 50 witnesses testified, including the mothers of both Trayvon and Zimmerman, each of whom said the voice crying for help on a neighbors 911 call belonged to her son.
Closing arguments in the case ended Friday. Defense lawyers have said Zimmerman had to fire his gun to save his life during a scuffle started by Trayvon, while prosecutors have depicted Zimmerman as an over-zealous neighborhood watchman who falsely assumed Trayvon was a criminal prowling the Retreat at Twin Lakes community.
This case not about standing your ground. Its about staying in your car, as he was taught to do, prosecutor John Guy told jurors in a final closing argument Friday afternoon.
In an appeal to the all-female jury, Guy repeatedly referred to Trayvon as a child. Several jurors looked emotionally strained as he spoke.
The state honed in on Zimmermans phone call to police reporting Trayvon as a suspicious person, a false assumption that the teen was a criminal, Guy said. In the phone call, Zimmerman admits to getting out of his truck and following Trayvon. Yet he also claimed the teen was circling his vehicle menacingly.
Guy also stressed Zimmermans mutterings -- that these assholes always get away and f**king punks -- prove the hate needed to convict on a charge of second-degree murder.
If there was ever a window into that mans soul, it was that defendants words on that phone call, Guy said.
The defense cast Zimmerman as a reasonable resident, concerned about safety in his neighborhood, who was attacked by a physically more adept young man.
Defense attorney Mark OMara also played a vivid computer animation that showed a Trayvon avatar hitting the figure representing Zimmerman, then straddling him on the grass beside a concrete walkway. The 911 tape that captured the cries of the struggle and the fatal gunshot played over the animation.
The defense attorney, during three hours of closing arguments, stressed that Zimmermans state of mind fearful was key. He called the photos of Zimmermans injuries to his face and head icing on the cake. It was Trayvon who committed the crime, OMara suggested.
The lawyer finished in dramatic fashion: by carrying a chunk of concrete into court and plopping it on the floor, telling jurors it was disgusting for prosecutors to suggest Trayvon was unarmed. The defense has said Trayvon bashed Zimmermans head into a sidewalk during the struggle.
Thats a sidewalk, OMara said. That is not an unarmed teenager with nothing but Skittles, trying to get home.

CHAPEL HILL — Behind Matt Lawrences desk hangs a photograph of his wife, Connie, and his two sons, Macon and Nick.
Lawrence, an operations chief at the Chapel Hill Fire Department, combined his passion for his children with his career as a firefighter when he got involved with Safe Kids North Carolina.
His fire safety career began in 1987, when he joined the Fire Explorer Post at the Burlington Fire Department. He became a volunteer firefighter in 1993 and earned his job as a firefighter four years later.
While Lawrences wife was expecting their first son in 2001, Lawrence took the National Child Passenger Technician course with Safe Kids to learn how to use a car seat. After that course, he continued to learn about other child safety issues.
The fire prevention and fire safety aspect of it was really a no-brainer because thats what my job is, he said. Reaching out to the other areas, like child passenger safety, came from the motivation of having my own kids at home.
Two years later, Lawrence organized a Safe Kids coalition in Burlington and served as coordinator until 2007. When a job in Chapel Hill as a fire marshal became available that year, Lawrence seized the opportunity to come to Orange County. There, he organized and later became chairman of the Orange County Safe Kids coalition.
Alongside his work with Orange County Safe Kids, Lawrence brought a puppet program about fire safety to children in Chapel Hill: Johnny Joins the Fire Department. Lawrence came up with the show while working in Burlington, and he later collaborated with First Sgt. Chris Bradley to perform the show around Orange County. In 2010, Johnny received funding from the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center to turn the puppet show into a movie, which has since been shown statewide.
The use of songs and attention-grabbing puppets seems to be much more effective in retaining the information we share, Lawrence said. We often hear the kids, even adults, singing the fire-safety songs as they leave, which reinforces to us that its info they will remember.
Lawrence recognized that children get hurt more during the summer primarily because they are out of school and have less supervision. So in 2010, he organized the countys first Summer Safety Fair. The fair brought together many different organizations such as the school system, fire department, and police department.
We had never really pulled those different groups together in one location to have one big event where families could come and get the whole smorgasbord of information about how to stay safe through the summer, he said.
The first Summer Safety Fair was held near the Fire Departments public outreach center in Meadowmont, The Fireplace. Kids carried a passport with them to each of the 10 booths with fliers, demonstrations and activities about summer safety. After learning about a topic, they would get their passports punched. At the end of the event, each kid received free ice cream and prizes.
The next year, the Summer Safety Fair moved to the YMCA near Meadowmont. Kids enjoyed an afternoon of free swim after the event.
We really tried to make it fun for the kids so that they had some draw and could get them there, interested, and through the program, Lawrence said. Hopefully they could pick up a little bit of information and have fun throughout their summers.
Last month, Safe Kids North Carolina held a conference at the Chapel Hill Sheraton Hotel, where an unsuspecting Lawrence received the Outstanding Leadership Award for his work with the Orange County Safe Kids coalition.
I was actually very surprised to be called up to received the award, he said.
Shannon Barkwell, current coordinator for the countys Safe Kids Coalition, nominated Lawrence for the award.
He really grew the group and tried to get people involved, she said.
Today Orange County Safe Kids includes child passenger safety, fire prevention safety, water safety, bike and pedestrian safety, gun safety, and poison prevention, among other topics.
Matt grew the coalition from on average two to three people at a meeting to anywhere from 10 to 15 individuals, Barkwell said.
While his first experience with child safety stemmed from having his own son, Lawrence said his passion grows as children share their knowledge with their family. He hopes to teach lifelong safety skills to children early in life.
Dace Bergen, Interim Fire Marshal at Chapel Hill Fire Department, has known Lawrence for about six years.
He is very dedicated to improving the quality of life of everyone in the community. He is selfless of his time. He strives to improve every aspect of responsibility he is assigned, Bergen said.
Lawrence is no longer an active member of Safe Kids N.C., but he remains an avid supporter of the organization. His work to establish a Safe Kids coalition in Orange County continues to be appreciated. Bergen serves as treasurer for the Orange County coalition and said he values all the work Lawrence put in since 2007.
His work helped make the Orange County Safe Kids coalition a very vibrant, active and successful organization promoting the safety of children in the community, Bergen said.

EtherCAT box for incremental encoder connection
Beckhoff Automation's I/O module synchronously reads encoder values via high-precision EtherCAT Distributed Clocks.
Beckhoff Automation's EP5101 EtherCAT Box is an IP 67-rated I/O module designed to directly connect to incremental encoders with differential inputs (RS485).
Due to the optional interpolating micro-increments functionality, the moisture and dust-resistant EP5101 can supply even more precise axis positions for dynamic axes. The EP5101 supports the synchronous reading of the encoder value together with other input data in the EtherCAT system via high-precision EtherCAT Distributed Clocks (DC).
The compact EP5101 EtherCAT Box is suitable for applications where electrical cabinet space is limited. In addition to stepper motor and DC motor box modules, which are also equipped with an encoder interface, stand-alone encoders for the measurement of rotation and length can also be directly connected in the field using the EP5101 incremental encoder interface. The EP5101 supports any feedback system with an RS485 interface. The encoder is connected either via an M12 socket (EP5101-0002) or via a D-sub interface (EP5101-0011).
A 32-/16-bit counter with quadrature decoder as well as a 32-/16-bit latch for the zero pulse can be read, set or activated. Incremental encoders with a fault signal output can be connected to the status input of the EP5101. A period measurement with a resolution of up to 100 ns is possible. The gate input allows the counter to be disabled; the latch input accepts the counter reading on the rising edge.

In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

TO THE EDITOR: New York Agriculture in the Classroom is pleased to announce the eighth-annual New York Ag Literacy Week in support of its mission of fostering awareness, understanding and appreciation of agriculture.
During the week of March 18 to 22, volunteers throughout the state will go into classrooms to read a book with an agricultural theme and talk to students about agriculture. The book will be donated to the school library.
Last year, nearly 2,500 books were read and donated, and thousands of second-graders participated.
I am the Ag Literacy Week coordinator for Clinton County. I am looking for second-grade classrooms that would be interested and available during the week of March 18 to have a volunteer come to their classroom to read to the children about bees and beekeeping and answer some agricultural-related questions. There is also a lesson plan and activities available for teachers.
If you are a second-grade teacher and would like to have a volunteer come to your class, please contact me at 846-7343 after school hours or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information about Ag Literacy Week and to register your class to participate in it, you can go online at www.agclassroom.org/ny.

TO THE EDITOR: Over past weeks, there has been a bombardment of angry Letters to the Editor regarding the new gun regulations passed down from Washington and filtering through the states.
I have lived in the North Country my entire life. We like to hunt, we like to target shoot, we like our guns.
However, I'm also a mother. I have grown babies in my womb. I have experienced the pains of labor. I have held my little ones close, nursed them strong and raised them up. God save me from such a day as the mothers and fathers experienced in Newtown.
