RENO — A one-of-a-kind baccalaureate service was held at University of Nevada, Reno on Sunday.
The fifth annual Hindu baccalaureate service of UNR (Dikshant Utsav) blessed the graduating class in the traditional Hindu style, complete with applying tilak (religious mark) on the foreheads of graduates, participatory reading of Gayatri Mantra in Sanskrit and keynote addresses by a swami and kirtan (sacred chant). In addition, it also included blessings by Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Native American and Baha'i representatives who recited prayers in Arabic, Pali, Hebrew, Paiute and English.
Organized by the Universal Society of Hinduism (USOH) in collaboration with Indian Student Organization of UNR, it started with the lighting of a traditional lamp before the statue of goddess Saraswati, patron of learning and the arts, and included blessing of the upcoming graduates with wisdom from Vedas, Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita — all ancient Hindu scriptures — by Hindu monk Swami Vedananda from California. Prominent musician Jim Eaglesmith chanted kirtan number "Hare Krishna, Hare Rama" and the audience followed him on the chant.
Besides Vedananda, those who blessed the graduating class in their own traditions included Rita Sloan of Roman Catholic Diocese of Reno; Toni de Salvo of Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd; Nicholas F. Frey of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Northern Nevada Muslim Community President Sherif A. Elfass; Hindu religious leader Rajan Zed; Buddhist Priest Jikai' Phil Bryan; Jewish Rabbi ElizaBeth W. Beyer; Nevada Clergy Association President Rev. Gene Savoy Jr.; Native American elder of Paiute Tribe Ralph Burns; and Baha'i Roya Galata.
Zed, who recited Gayatri Mantra (the most sacred mantra of Hinduism from oldest scripture Rig-Veda) in Sanskrit, said the purpose of this baccalaureate service was to root the graduating class in divine spiritual tradition so that they had a spiritually meaningful life in addition to material success.

I had lunch with Terry Donahue this week, happy to straighten out another UCLA football coach.
As ancient as the guy is, I don't go back far enough to really know him. And Donahue has been in no hurry to let me know him better because he doesn't want anything to do with me.
"You killed Karl Dorrell," he says of my good friend Karl Dullard.
Donahue remembers UCLA's 13-9 shocking win over USC, forgetting that I predicted as much in print before the game.
Donahue says I was yelling at him after the win to stop so we might talk. He says he threatened to knock my block off.
I don't recall the exchange, but then if I remembered everyone who has threatened to knock my block off I'd have no room in my head for anything else.
"Karl had a 10-2 record and it wasn't enough," says Donahue, while making no move yet to pick up his knife. "He was developing and he was going to make it. He just needed more time."
"That's an issue for [UCLA Athletic Director Dan] Guerrero, not Simers," I suggest.
"Simers added to it," Donahue persists, before saying, "Anyways," which is his favorite word and an indication the subject is about to change.
"Anyways I'm glad I had lunch with you," he says as if he really means it, all smiles and a tiny bit charismatic.
"My wife wanted to know if she should come along so there would be no fight," he says. "But my back hurts too much to fight. We didn't turn over any tables so this was great."
I couldn't agree more; he's nowhere as stiff and stoic as I saw him.
"Professional," he says. "I was always professional."
"And I'm not the monster you thought."
"I didn't say that," says Donahue with grin, and so we spend almost three hours talking Lane Kiffin, Jim Mora, John Robinson and Daniel Donahue.
"There's not a day that goes by I don't miss him," says Donahue, while pausing to maintain his composure. "He was a funny dude. Not a day.…"
Daniel is the oldest brother of five Donahues, teaming with Tom Schriber with great success to develop such shopping centers as Fashion Island. He's married with three daughters, "and is bigger than life," says Terry.
But Dan dies on New Year's Eve 10 years ago, rocking a family that will spend those 10 years telling Dan stories and never seemingly running out.
He's such a beloved character, Dan's friends throw a luau in his memory and raise a million dollars. They buy a Santa Ana warehouse for the nonprofit charity, KidWorks, roll up their sleeves and make it a life-changing education center.
"It's a beacon of hope in the middle of this large fog bank," says Terry, in what has to be the most colorful quote he has ever delivered.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – Sunday's train derailment along the Metro-North Hudson Line has left some Westchester residents anxious about the service following the latest of several such incidents this year, but most vowed to keep riding the rails.
Earlier errors this year included two trains colliding in Connecticut in May and September's massive Con Edison power outage.
This is the first time in the 30-year history of Metro-North Railroad that a derailment caused a fatality. On Monday, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the train was traveling at 82 miles per hour when it derailed; nearly triple the speed trains should travel in that stretch of track.
"It's strange, really," New Rochelle resident Kevin Jenkins said. "You think of railroads as a safe alternative, and you would consider them the most reliable source of transportation.
"I mean, how many things can really go wrong on a train? I think I'd still be willing to travel by train, but it's scary to think about."
Westchester commuters were forced to find alternative routes to get to work n Monday, as the Hudson line remained suspended as repairs and the investigation into the crash continued. Limited service will remain on Tuesday, and the large crowds are expected to persist.
There will be 500 parking spaces once again opened up for commuters at Kensico Dam, which is within walking distance to the Valhalla Station. Southeast Station near Brewster will also have additional parking along Independent Way, which is also within walking distance of a Harlem line train.
"I've taken the train to work almost daily for 20 years, and I can't remember anything like this ever happening," Eastchester resident Ken Brown, 62, said. "Between the mayhem that broke out in Mount Vernon a few months back, and now this, they're having a tough go of things."
Despite Metro-North's struggles in 2013, most train riders agreed that they would frequent the rails again without any hesitation.
Steve Lee, 22, of White Plains, said that he doesn't use the train daily, but would jump right back in on his next trip into the city.
"It was an accident. Nobody wanted this to happen, particularly the people responsible," he said. "If we stopped driving every time there was a car accident, there wouldn't be anyone on the road. This is the same idea."

Bees may aid soybean pod set
By EDITH MUNRO
Self-pollinating crops like soybeans might seem immune to worldwide concerns about the viability and supply of insect pollinators. However, pollinators can have an effect on bean yields, and soybean growers may have good reason to give more thought to bees.
The interaction between plants and pollinators is complex, according to bee experts, and involves more than simply moving pollen. Several studies have produced evidence that even self-pollinating crops like cotton and soybeans may yield better when bees work the flowers.
One possibility is high levels of bee activity improve soybean pod set. Older research from a bee lab USDA once maintained in Wisconsin shows higher yields when bees worked the plants in some sites and years, according to Reid Palmer, a USDA Agricultural Research Service geneticist at Iowa State University.
Key Points
• Even though a self-pollinator, soybeans still could get a yield boost from bees.
• High levels of bee activity could improve soybean pod set.
• Breeders have started selecting varieties based on their insect attractiveness.
"Soybean plants usually produce many more flowers than develop into pods," he says. "If you can reduce flower drop, you should increase yield. We need to study the role of bees in soybean pollination."
More recently, Palmer has fielded secondhand reports from farmers who saw yields improve in fields adjacent to other crops where bee numbers were high.
Elsewhere, Canadian researchers documented an association between bees and higher yields in food-grade soybeans, and Australian studies have demonstrated that honeybee-pollinated soybeans produced from 10% to 40% more than naturally self-pollinated beans. And in 2005, Brazilian scientists looked at soybean seed production in cages with or without bees and found a 50% increase in yield for cages with bees.
Not all research results are consistent, however. A 2001 study in Louisiana found no evidence that bee foraging improved yields in modern soybean varieties.
Bees and soybean breeding
In a new twist, researchers are looking at using bees in breeding higher-yielding soybeans by taking advantage of the bees' ability to differentiate among soybean varieties based on bee attractiveness.
Concerns over annual honeybee losses have prompted Congress to address ag's need for pollinators in general. The 2008 Farm Bill made it a priority to preserve habitat for the nation's wide number of native bee species, which can supplement or, in some cases, replace honeybees.
That led USDA to establish multiple programs to encourage bee habitat, including matching grants and technical assistance available through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. Encouraging native pollinators is also a ranking criterion that can mean higher payments per acre for new Conservation Reserve Program contracts, and farmers have established more than 41,000 acres of new pollinator habitat.
The contribution bees can make to grower efforts is less clear for soybean producers than for many of the fruit and vegetable crops, but the combination of government incentives and research possibilities can justify more bee-conscious efforts, especially for growers with CRP land.
On such farms, a modest investment of effort to include native plants and factor bee sensitivities into pesticide application methods are the first steps to consider. Both can potentially improve native bee populations and benefit nearby crops.
In addition to contacting USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, growers can find information on several websites, including the Native Pollinators in Agriculture Work Group (www.agpollinators.org) and the Xerces Society (www.xerces.org/pollinator), where clicking on a map will bring up specific lists of appropriate pollinator-friendly plants by state. USDA publications are also available at www.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/ecs/database/technotes.html.

The Gamecocks dropped their tournament opener for the second year in a row Wednesday, falling to fifth-seeded Eastern Kentucky 11-2 at The Ballpark at Jackson.
The Colonels (21-32) rocked three JSU pitchers for 18 hits, including four doubles and three home runs, to snap a six-game OVC Tournament losing streak and move into the winner's bracket for the first time since 2010. Their starter, Brent Cobb, who the Gamecocks (32-25) roughed up in their regular-season series opener two weeks ago, scattered nine hits over eight innings.
"I think they whipped us in every way that you can whip us," JSU coach Jim Case said. "They scored three on us in the third and it just seemed like it kind of ignited them.
"There have been a lot of times during the year where when that happened with us we've been able to throw up zeroes and give ourselves a chance to come back. We couldn't do that today. They beat us in every way you could beat us, but you also have to take your hat off to them because I thought their pitcher did a really nice job."
A year ago here the Gamecocks lost their tournament opener to Southeast Missouri, then won their next two before being eliminated by Austin Peay on a wild pitch in the 11th inning. Before that, they had won all eight of their OVC Tournament openers — by an average margin of nearly eight runs — including three that came decisively against EKU (15-0, 8-1 and 19-7).
Now, a team with lesser tournament experience than the one a year ago will be looking to avoid elimination before either of the top two seeds play their first game today against third-seeded Belmont. Junior right-hander Taylor Shields (8-2, 3.75) is scheduled to start in what will be their only game of the day.
"I want to look not so much as what's going to happen the rest of the tournament but what's going to happen tomorrow," Case said. "In my mind there were three opportunities during the year where I felt like we had an opportunity to throw up our hands and say, 'Uncle.'
"I felt like every time we got our backs to the wall I think we responded pretty well. So, just looking at it from the game tomorrow I think we'll have an outstanding chance to come out and play really well. If you ask at this point do you think you have an opportunity to win the tournament, I think it'd be extremely hard to do. But the only way you can do that is win one game at a time, so there's no reason for us to even worry about that."
The Colonels jumped out to a 6-0 lead against JSU starter Casey Antley. Sean Hagan hit a three-run homer in the third inning that opened with a leadoff walk. Kyle Nowlin, one of three Colonels with three hits, delivered a two-run single in the fourth and Antley was charged with the run in the fifth after leaving with runners at second and third.
"My best didn't beat their guy's best," Antley said. "I gave it my all; that's about all I can do. The baseball gods don't like leadoff walks; it didn't turn out in our favor. It's one of those things that can't happen and I have to do better. Hopefully, I get a chance to rebound."
Later in the game, Bryan Solomon hit a solo homer and Luke Wurzelbacher hit a three-run homer in the ninth after the Colonels reloaded following the last of the eight double plays the two teams turned in the game. Every player in the EKU lineup had at least one hit.
"I thought that was our best approach to the plate all season," EKU coach Jason Stein said. "We talked a little bit about it yesterday at our practice. Casey is a heavy mix guy and if we use the middle of the field with him, look for pitches, that type approach enabled us to put up all those hits and get him out of the game, because he really shut us down the first game in conference play. So, hats off to our hitters to make an adjustment."
The Gamecocks mounted their only threat in the home fifth when they put together four straight hits at the bottom of the order to score two runs, with Gavin Golsan and Stephen Bartlett driving them home. But Cobb then retired the top three hitters in the lineup in order to avoid further damage.
Eddie Mora-Loera had three hits for JSU, extending his hitting streak to a season-best 12 games, while Bartlett had two.
"We were scrapping," Bartlett said. "We were fighting, staying within ourselves and passing the bat back to the next guy. We were doing our job. Losing the first game isn't what you want, but we like to compete. I think we're going to scratch and claw through it."

XMLFoundation provides a foundation for XML support in an application. However, it is more than just another XML parser. It applies a unique approach to handling XML that allows your application code to focus on the application rather than traversing DOM or subscribing to SAX events. The most unique feature of the XMLFoundation is the object oriented encapsulation that provides XML support in the application layer. XMLFoundation allows you to easily integrate XML with your GUI or with your server objects, and it natively supports COM, DCOM, and CORBA objects.
Lingua Server is a fast multi-protocol application service server in Java. Its main features are very fast response times, a pluggable protocol and transport architecture, very easy application service development (MVC), built-in cluster support using multicast, auto-discovery, and distributed shared objects.
cqueues is a comprehensive event and networking library for Lua 5.2 and LuaJIT using modern Unix O(1) polling facilities. It includes libraries for buffered socket I/O, SSL/TLS sockets, DNS querying, signal handling, threading, file change notification, and X.509 key management. It natively supports Linux, *BSD, OS X, and Solaris systems without third-party dependencies, and is interoperable with any event loop that accepts plain descriptors, or is usable standalone.
Libporty provides a higher level API for some commonly used library functions such as sockets, date/time, file system access, background processes, and asynchronous DNS resolving. Libporty is configured using scconfig and the API is guaranteed to work the same way on all supported systems. An application that exclusively uses the libporty API will not require autotools/scconfig for porting. Libporty has been tested on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, multiple BSD variants, Minix, OpenSolaris, and some ancient Unix systems.

Commissioned by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), these Doppler ultrasound monitored human experiments conducted by Dr. Michael Powell produced the most comprehensive data set that exists for recreational divers to this day. These data were used to validate the PADI Recreational Dive Planner and are the basis of the algorithm used in all AERIS Dive Computers.
Diving By The ColorsAERIS Dive Computers are designed with color-coded bar graphs; gray, yellow and red. These graphs monitor three very important diving parameters; nitrogen accumulation, oxygen loading and your personal ascent rate. Pixels build up in each of these color-coded areas to give you a quick, easy reference of these parameters. Proper monitoring of these graphs allows you to select the personal degree of conservatism you wish to build into each dive, putting you in control of your margin of safety.
Automatic Safety Stop PromptA brief audible and visual alarm remind you as you approach 15 feet. An automatic 3-minute timer counts down to zero. As in any other dive mode, you still have access to other pieces of information, and there is no penalty should you choose to disregard the safety stop.
Interactive Menu SystemSpeed through menu items and set modes easily and quickly with AERIS's intuitive dual button operation.
Date and Time StampThe XR-2 features time of day on the surface as well as underwater for quick reference. Time and date stamp also helps you to easily identify specific dives in Log Mode or PC download memory.
User Friendly Mode IconsAll AERIS computers feature bar graphs and universal icons that help you to quickly understand the information displayed on the screen at a glance.
Graphic User Interface™Using the recognizable logic of yellow and red color-coding in conjunction with bar graphs, the diver has at-a-glance information. As easy to understand as a traffic light, the Graphic Diver Interface helps you to easily monitor No-Decompression status, Oxygen Accumulation and Ascent Rate.
Automatic Altitude CompensationAll AERIS computers automatically compensate for altitude up to 14,000 feet, giving adjusted no-decompression times and depths. They even automatically recalibrate the depth display for freshwater instead of seawater.
Diver-Replaceable BatteriesAll AERIS computers feature diver replaceable batteries. This can be a real trip-saver on board a live-aboard boat!
Battery Hot Swap™An added benefit to diver replaceable batteries. The "hot-swap" feature allows you to change batteries between dives while maintaining all calculations.
24-Hour Fly Countdown and Calculated Desaturation TimeThe XR-2 features both a dual 12-hour countdown timer and calculated Desaturation Time, the theoretical time required to off-gas all residual nitrogen at sea level.
Variable Ascent Rate Indicator™Some computers simply flash an icon, telling you that you're ascending too quickly. The XR-2's Variable Ascent Rate Indicator bar graph acts as a speedometer, allowing you to very precisely control your ascent rate via the gray, yellow, and red bar graph.
Depth-Dependent Ascent RateThe XR-2 features a depth-dependant ascent rate, allowing increased rates at deeper depths and providing additional safety as you near the surface.
BacklightingThe XR-2 features an intense bluish gray light that illuminates the entire dial of the computer evenly at the push of a button. The backlight may be activated either on the surface, or underwater and remains on for button depression time plus the duration that you choose.
24 Dive On-Unit Log BookThe XR-2 features on-unit data storage capacity for 240 dives. Date and time stamp makes locating and viewing a specific dive quick and easy.
Optional Computer InterfaceThe XR-2 features a watertight, plug-in serial connection for fast and reliable PC download. Feature-rich software provides intuitive post-dive analysis and logging. You have the option to add and/or edit many pieces of information to customize your log book, with data such as depth and decompression status during a dive, maximum depth, bottom time, no-decompression status, descent and ascent rate, surface interval, and any violations recorded automatically.
Advanced Dive Planning SimulatorWhile AERIS manuals and cue cards are simple to understand, some people learn better through hands-on experience. The on-unit Simulator Mode allows you to run the XR-2 through actual dive profiles including Air Dive, Nitrox, Gauge Mode, and Decompression. You will see the dive happen on the screen as you would in the water.
While this is not a substitute for reading and understanding your Owners Guide, it provides detailed dive planning, is an excellent auxiliary learning tool, and it is a great way to refresh your memory on the way to the dive site, particularly if you have not been diving for a while. A side benefit is that you can always show your dive buddy what a cool new dive computer you have!
Split Set Mode AccessWith a computer as advanced as the XR-2, you have many options to personalize it just the way you want. We have split the set mode into two separate menus. Set Mode 1 includes Nitrox mix, maximum depth alarm, and other options that may change from dive to dive. Set Mode 2 includes units of measurement, PC sampling rate, and other personal preferences that will most likely be set once and forgotten.
Air or NitroxThe XR-2 acts simply as an 'Air' computer until you tell it otherwise, whether that is this weekend or 2 years down the road. As your training and experience grow, the XR-2 is designed to grow with you, being easily programmed for Nitrox mixtures from 21% to 50%.
Extended Range Digital Gauge Mode On/OffActivate Digital Gauge Mode for freediving or dives planned beyond the limits of the computer.
Maximum Depth AlarmThe Maximum Depth Alarm provides an audible warning upon reaching your planned maximum depth. This is an important safety feature for deeper dives or less experienced divers, and it comes in handy for rebreather diving where you can pre-set another level of safety.
Elapsed Dive Time AlarmYou're on a boat trip and the captain says, "Dive your own profiles, but be back in an hour – we're having lunch!" Just set your XR-2 to alert you when your elapsed dive time reaches one hour.
Units of MeasurementChoose between Metric and Imperial settings for depth and pressure.
12/24 Hour Time FormatChoose between 12 or 24 hour time format, independent of Units of Measurement.
Date and Time of DayThe XR-2 displays time of day on the surface as well as underwater for quick reference. Time and date stamp helps you to easily identify specific dives in On-Unit Log Mode or PC download memory.
Audible Alarm and Flashing LED Warning Light On/OffYou may choose to deactivate all audible and LED alarms.
Nitrogen Tissue Loading Bar Graph AlarmMany divers have claimed that AERIS's Nitrogen bar graph design provides the ultimate user-adjustable computer. Want to be a bit more cautious♠ Make it a personal rule to never enter into the yellow caution zone, or stay one pixel away, or – you get the point. Now you can program the XR-2 to do it for you. Set it once and let your computer alert you when your bar graph reaches a pre-determined level.
Dive Time RemainingDive Time Remaining provides a 'real' number in minutes. This calculation considers both Nitrogen and Oxygen absorption, displaying whichever allows less time. With this unique XR-2 feature, you are able to program an audible alarm to alert you upon reaching a pre-set number in minutes.
Maximum PO2 Level (Nitrox)When diving Nitrox, do you prefer your maximum PO2 exposure to be 1.2 ATA♠ 1.6 ATA♠ Depending on where you learned and your own personal comfort zone, the answer may be very different from diver to diver. The XR-2 lets you set your own limit. Program an audible alarm to sound at the level that you prefer.
FO2 50% Default On/OffFollowing a Nitrox dive, many dive computers calculate your next dive based on a "worse-case scenario", mix of 50% Oxygen and 79% Nitrogen should you forget to reset your actual mix. With FO2 50% Default OFF, your mix remains at the original set point until you change it again.
Backlight DurationWould you like the backlight to shut off as soon as you release the button♠ Would you rather it remain on for 0, 3, or 7 seconds♠ We don't need to make these decisions for you; it's your choice.
PC Interface Sampling RateYou have the option to choose at which rate (timed or depth transition) the XR-2 samples and stores data for later download to your PC. More frequent sampling will provide extreme detail of your dive profiles with limited storage capacity. Less frequent sampling, while it provides less detail, can store up to 150 dives!
Water Activation On/OffDo you tend to keep your equipment in a wet dive bag longer than you should♠ Are you an Instructor or Divemaster in an environment where your gear is never dry♠ Would you like to disable the water activation feature♠ Now you can.

Little Giants Force Eight Miscues in Win.by Jocelyn Hopkinson '15 • October 26, 2013
- It was tough going up the middle for Oberlin.
- Anthony Stella finds running room.
- Jon Laird with the finger-tip catch.
- Sean Hildebrand with a catch in traffic ...
- ... that he turned into a score.
- Tyler McCullen didn't record a sack but spent all afternoon in the Yeoman backfield.
- It was real tough going inside.
- Cody Buresh pressuring the Oberlin QB
- Tyler McCullen making a line for the Yeoman passer.
- Houston Hodges on an end around.
- A.J. Akinribade recovers a Yeoman fumble.
- Grant Klembara muscles his way through the line.
- Houston Hodges comes up just short reaching for the goal line.
- Akinribade and McCullen with the stop.
- Hildebrand waits for the ball in the end zone.
- The Yeoman QB was under pressure all day.
- Austin Brown '17 closes in on a loose ball.
- Hildebrand pulls in a pass.
- Coach Raeburn expressing a bit of displeasure with a call.
- Klembara with more tough yardage.
- Anthony Stella trying to break free for extra yardage.
- Houston Hodges in the open field.
- Laird goes up to haul in this key third down catch.
- Evan Rutter battles the Oberlin QB for a loose ball.
Wabash endured chilling winds and an early Oberlin score Saturday to rally for its seventh win, 27-10. Eddie Cmehil '16 scored his first-career touchdown on an interception return and Sean Hildebrand '14 caught two scores.
"We played well offensively [in the first half], we just didn't have the ball very much," Raeburn said. "But when we did, we scored on most of our possessions. We still squandered a couple of opportunities in the first half."
The second half was another story. The Yeomen stalled the Little Giant offense twice on the goal line.
"We weren't blocking up front like we needed to," Raeburn said. "Tight end, o-line not getting the blocking done. Twice we had second-and-one, but we couldn't punch it in. It's an embarrassment. We've run the ball well to this point in the season, so to play so poorly in the second half because we couldn't run it was real disappointing."
The Little Giants started shaky too. Their defense forced a punt on Oberlin's first series, but Justin Woods '16 fumbled the return gave the Yeomen excellent field position. Erickson Andrews converted on a 28-yard field goal and Wabash trailed for this first time this season.
The lead did not last. Michael Putko '16 engineered a quick scoring drive culminating in a nine-yard pass to Hildebrand. On the next Oberlin possession, Cmehil stepped in front of a short pass for a 44-yard interception return, 14-3.
"I was actually in the wrong coverage," Cmehil admitted. "But I ended up sinking on the route and taking the ball. I heard a couple of pads popping on the return so it was a team effort."
Ian MacDougall '14 connected on a 31-yard field goal and the Putko-to-Hildebrand connection worked again before halftime, 24-3.
MacDougall added a third-quarter field goal, but the kick was the only Wabash second-half score in seven possessions.
Oberlin finally broke through the Wabash defense early in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Logan Poggiali made plays with his arm and feet on a nine-play, 80-yard drive.
Wabash responded by forcing Oberlin turnovers on its next two possessions. The Little Giants took the ball away eight times.
"Obviously with losing 31-16 last year, there was a big emphasis to come in and not play flat," Cmehil said. "It wasn't pretty, but we got the job done."
Grant Klembara '15 led Wabash in rushing with 109 yards, but Saturday marked the first time a Little Giant running back did not find the end zone. Putko picked up the slack with his two touchdown throws and 12-of-20 passing for 156 yards.
Defensively, AJ Akinribade '15 recorded a team-high 8 tackles. Klembara doubled as a nickel back and paced the Little Giants with 2 sacks. Denzel Wilkins '15, Austin Brown '17, and Delon Pettiford '17 each intercepted a pass.
The Little Giants return home next week for a Family Day matchup against Hiram. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m.

SXSW 2012: Film Title Design Awards
The Film Title Design Awards program is unique among the SXSW screenings in that it opens with a panel discussion. This year the all-star jury was composed of Ian Albinson of Art of the Title, Ben Radatz of MK12 (Stranger Than Fiction), Gareth Smith & Jenny Lee of Smith & Lee Design (Up in the Air), and Kurt Volk of Troublemaker Studios (Machete). Before the screening, the panelists discussed their process and some of their favorite past work.
When Do You Get Involved?
On the Limitations within Title Design
The panel was followed by a screening of the twenty finalists. The styles ranged from epic powerhouse pieces like Elastic's Game of Thrones and Blur's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to self-initiated projects like James Curran's take on The Adventures of TinTin and Clemens Wirth's Herbst.
I liked the mix of television and film titles, hopping from the live-action, comedic, world-building of Sarofsky Corp.'s Shameless to the pitch perfect design in Prologue Films' X-Men: First Class to the exquisite rendering in Dvein's Eva.
Though it's technically a "film" title design award, I hope future competitions will include the realm of video games and conferences, as they've become a popular place for studios to flex their muscles (PostPanic for OFFF, The Mill for OFFF, SoulBase for FITC, MK12 for FITC, Buck for F5).
Below are the nominees as they were screened. When possible, I've linked to interviews of each title's creator at two fantastic websites that are essential for any lover of film titles – Forget the Film, Watch the Titles and Art of the Title.

WARNING!! DO NOT STAY THERE!! – Dirty place, they skip cleaning whenever they want, and they reserve themselves the right to extra-charge you for any little reason. Also if you end up staying there and you bring some valuable you are better off leaving in the car than the room. Most of their rooms do not lock; the door knobs have not been service in years.
We end up getting evicted because we dare to argue the extra-charge with the owners. They did not refund our money after evicting us. They also called the police. When the officer arrived my first question to him was "Officer, how long have you been serving this area?" he responded: "16 years" I said: "then I do not need to explain to you what is going on here" he obviously could not respond, but his smile said it all.
The neighbors "can wait for these two [the owners] to die" [words from a neighbor of 20 years that gather around to watch what was going on.]
The worse part is not the place is the way you are treated.

We came, we saw, we blogged the heck out of WonderCon 2008 in San Francisco on Feb. 22-24!
The big bang for Star Wars fans this year was our Lucasfilm presentation complete with a Star Wars: The Clone Wars interview with Supervising Director Dave Filoni and Producer Catherine Winder, updates on the upcoming LucasArts game The Force Unleashed, and news about Celebration Japan! Check out the entire presentation here:
On Saturday, You Can Draw: Star Wars book author Bonnie Burton and illustrator Tom Hodges, along with Starwars.com artist Katie Cook, entertained fans and beginner artists with tutorials on how to draw banthas, stormtroopers, Yoda, Anakin and Darth Maul. Elvis Trooper stopped by for a few tips as well!
Later, we stopped by the R2-D2 Builders panel on how you can make your own astromech. But mostly we were thrilled that a few R2-D2 units wanted to say hello to one fan interested in sending a rather important message.
The Starwars.com team also wandered around looking for the coolest Star Wars stuff spotted in comic bins and toy shleves, while spotting not only our friends in the 501st Legion, San Francisco Fan Force and the Rebel Legion, but also fans decked out in costumes from the Star Wars galaxy and beyond.

I worked at Hertz full-time for less than a year
Pros – MT to ABM in 4 months.
Cons – Rapid promotions are because the job sucks. I was the assistant branch manager of a branch that grossed over $2 million in revenue a year. I made $11.79/hr. See the problem here? They expect you to give everything you got, including your first born.
Advice to Senior Management – Give the tools needed to those that actually get the job done. Telling customers we have cars when that is a flat lie is absurd.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Email Story RSS Permalink Print The 2012 Cattlemen's Convention is in full swing at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn. Cattlemen's Beef Board chief executive officer Polly Ruhland looked back at 2011 and summed up the past year as busy, with a lot of possible changes following this convention. "We have been busy bees over 2011," Ruhland said. "We have talked about and revised our bylaws for the first time in many years. Those revisions will be discussed at a business meeting tomorrow (Thursday) at the Cattlemen's Beef Board. We've also talked about and revised our committee structures, which will also be discussed during the Cattlemen's Beef Board meeting. We've been very busy throughout 2011 making changes and shoring up the administrative duties of the Cattlemen's Beef Board." Ruhland says that she is excited by the opportunities that are available at this year's convention, especially the fact that there are so many groups working together. "We had a meeting where a lot of investor groups came together, their trade associations and policy organizations, just to tell us what they thought about the beef checkoff and how we might improve the beef checkoff," Ruhland said. "That kind of transparency with the checkoff, listening to our investors, is something that I'm very proud of and something that I hope to continue to work on in 2012 and beyond." The 2012 Cattlemen's Convention continues through Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012. Farm Progress will continue to bring you coverage of the convention. To view an interview with Cattlemen's Beef Board chief executive office Polly Ruhland in which she talks about some of the specific items the Cattlemen's Beef Board will be focusing on in 2012, as well as this convention, her first since being named chief executive officer of the Cattlemen's Beef Board, use the video player on this page.

I don't understand why others are so excited about this product... it has a lowest dosage of bcaa ever! bought it only because of it's price. Of course will never buy again-if you need BCAA than these dosage is not even close to what your body need!

a good product for those who do not need a very strong BCAA. I recommend the Super Amino 4800. um bom produto para quem não precisa de um BCAA muito forte. Recomendo o Super Amino 4800.

I did not feel the same effects of this bcaa as I have some other brands. With some other brands I have taken my body feels taut and energized, in the morning, and before/after workouts, not so with this brand. I have had great experiences with other Jarrow products though.

Seems I eat less protein when taking these and get better results from workouts. And since one of my goals is to eat as little as possible I love this one.

Great product! I work out with alot of intensity- swimming, running and weightlifting. Heavy months 8 hours a week. I can say I noticed a huge difference if I took these before a workout and before bed. I also take a protein shake after workout and that includes my BCAA's so I don't usually take them immediately after my workout. Can only say they helped tremendously. Do not think anything psychosomatic was going on. And just to add I eat very healthy, am a lacto-ovo vegetarian and I get enough sleep and meditate and do yoga as well. So for what it's worth, I think they help. Ryan

Paula Deen's media empire continues to crumble around her.
Two more sponsors announced that they're cutting ties with the Southern chef — Caesars Entertainment and Walmart — in the fallout of her racial slur scandal.
Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart sold thousands of Deen-branded products including cookware and food in their 4,000-plus stores.
That's all over... at least for now.
"We are ending our relationship with Paula Deen Enterprises and we will not place new orders beyond those already committed," a Walmart spokesman said in a curt statement.
Caesars Entertainment — who operated four Deen restaurants in casinos across the country — was a bit more complimentary in their announcement.
"While we appreciate Paula's sincere apologies for statements she made in her past… we have mutually decided that it is in the best interests of both parties to part ways at this time," representative Jan Jones Blackhurst said in a statement.
The news comes days after the Food Network ended their contract with the butter-loving chef, prompting a massive fan revolt online. Smithfield Foods also announced the end of their relationship with Deen on Tuesday.
The 66-year-old is pressing on, though. She made good on her missed Today Show appearance with a tearful interview with Matt Lauer.
"I believe that every creature on this earth, every one of God's creatures, was created equal," Deen told Lauer. "I believe that everyone ought to be treated equal."
"I've had to hold friends in my arms while they've sobbed," Deen added, sobbing herself. "Because they know what's being said about me — it's not true. And I'm having to comfort them, and tell them it's going to be all right. If God got us to it, he'll get us through it."
We have to wonder: Will fans also call for a Walmart boycott?
Will you boycott Walmart for dropping Paula Deen?
Sound off below!
paula deen walmart
I quit shopping at Walmart Target,JCPennys,Home Depot any store that boycotts Paula. I have e-mailed them all. We can be called crackers, honkies and a lot other names I as a lady won't repeat. This political crap has gone to far. This country is being divided and most people don't care. They won't until it effects them. This country is headed for a big fall thanks to the racial divide caused by those people who make something out of a remark made over 20 YEARS ago.
Goodbye Walmart and all the others who dropped Paula....Sick of WM and their filthy stores and restrooms....and now they want us to self-check!!! lmao........making more money for the rich Walton family!!! Who in the South who was born during Paula's day hasn't said the N word....but it is ok to say the F word and flip the birdie!!! What a screwed up world this is....it is all about money money!
I too have lived without "chain" stores and will not shop at any store boycotting Paula Dean. I had a large JC Penny order ready to submit on line--just found out they also boycotted Paula so I dropped the order today. The hundreds I spent per year at Walmart is no longer. This is a good time to see what you can really live without. God Bless Paula and her family--they are good people.
Guess all these business's believe the public cannot think and decide for themselves what products we want to buy. More convenient to shop online anyway.
I'm not a big Paula Deen fan, but I'm going to stop shopping at any and all stores that are kicking her to the curb. The public has started to follow the media like pied-pipers (example: Trayvon Martin). If these stores are dumb--- followers like others are....I'm through with you!!
I do not shop at Walmart. There bathrooms are filfty and the customer service is horrible.
Paula Deen does not need to sell her products at such a low cost store. I got tired of half dressed women and children not being watched. It is like a day care without supervision.
---- that, Wal-Mart is the best place to shop. I'm not going to stop shopping there in support of some crazy ------- old ----- with a really annoying southern accent.
I quit shopping at walmart the day they made there announcement. It feels realy good like kicking an addiction. I'm not going back. I passed Sears and JC Pennys the other day and went to Marshalls. Got everything I need there. I will stand by Paula. JC Pennys is already in financial straps, this just might bring them down.
I will no longer shop there until they change. It may be until Hell freezes over but I have lived without big box stores in the past and can do it again!
Walmart, Sears, K-Mart, Home Depot...thank you for saving me over $600 a week.
I support Paula Deen.. I won't be spending the $600 plus I have been spending at Walmart from now on. I can find plenty of other places to shop. It doesn't matter to me if I can't find another place to get her products,and I was never a big fan, but this behavior on the part of all of these organizations is so outrageous, we should all be alarmed. This is destroying a person's life just for saying something insulting, and I don't care if it was 20 years ago or yesterday. That's what a racial slur is "an insult" I do not and will not condone any action against anyone...black or white... that destroys their lives for saying something (freedom of speech, remember). I find it very disturbing that we now live in a country where destroying a person's life seems to be just A-OK. These companies disturb me as well as the media that started this vicious attack. I will boycott all of these companies involved in this craziness.
If you boycott Target, Wal-Mart, Sears, JCPenney, QVC, KMart, etc, please list the names of the stores where you will shop, and let us know if those stores carry Paula Deen products and have pledged to continue to do so.
I challenge all Paula Deen supporters!!! Don't just talk about it, Do it!
If you are your family members, or friends work at Walmart or Sams Club, Quit working there! Don't shop there ever again! Sams club members... don't renew membership! I don't like crowds anyway!
Don't come to Target! Quit your Job there! Don't purchase the new Canon T4i there, its time to discount prices, I need a new T.V.!
Don't watch Food Network, Shows like, Trisha Yearwood, Racheal Ray, Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, Guy Fieri, Ree Drummond and more. They have got to go!
Don't support Smithfield Hams or Any store that continues to sell them, "Winn Dixie, Fresh Market, Kmart" etc.
Don't shop at Sears, Kmart or any of those establishments, ( I started boycotting them when the introduced the Kardassian line)
Don't shop at Home Depot, (I am in the process of renovating a house so I can use discounted prices there too)
Don't shop at J.C. Penney, Don't order anything on QVC (Hell don't support any channel or cable provider that airs QVC)
Don't Go to Caesars Palace! (Please don't go there, we need to lighten Up that crowd) In fact Don't Go to Vegas until the Mayor demand that Caesars Make amends with Paula Deen!
If you are a Diabetic, Do not use Novo Nordisk until they make a public statement in support of Paula Deen!
I support the Boycott!!! You should too! We will just sit back, read Paula Deen old cookbooks, while cooking with butter (and not cooking Smithfield hams). While shopping at convenience, and watching, TRU tv, and Bravo.
BTW. We will also refuse to read any new books published at, Ballantine Books or Random House.
I just sent Walmart's Corporate headquarters an email to let them know I am taking my $500+ per month I used to spend in their stores and will spend them somewhere else. I am so sick of these companies jumping on the media-hype bandwagons because they are trying to appear so politically correct. Give me a break. They'd better re-examine their largest shopping demographic and see who is really spending money in their stores. If it's who they think they're trying to support with this hair-brained decision, then fine. But I doubt it. Alienate whitey and they'll vote with their feet.
I am done with Walmart, Target, Kmart and Sears! Pick and choose who to condemn for using a very disturbing word. Hypocrites!! Check your shelves and I am sure you will find you are supporting others using this language but lets pick on the white woman and praise the others as victims. Shame on you.
I will also stop shopping at Walmart. Who are they to judge Paula Deen. Maybe they should look in the mirror. Walmart is a hypocrite.
I am not going to shop at Walmart again because Paula Deen apologized, but Walmart wont forgive her. I usually spend an average of $600 to $800 a month at Walmart, but no more. Done with Target too for the same reason. There are other stores where I can spend my money.
I spent over 300 a week at Walmart, but not anymore. It's crazy the lengths they are going because
she said a word that I hear blacks call each other every day. Double standard exactly. Bet ya still have LilWayne and his flag stomping rap ---- on your shelves...get a clue Walmart and stop trying to score brownie points...the points u are trying to score show up there everyday with their food stamps anyway, so what's the gain...hello target and Fred's...

The museum is open from 10am to 6pm, April to September (otherwise to 5pm).
The exhibition was way to small, the staff was rude and the whole thing was over before it began. Now I can at least say that I have been there, but that's also pretty much all it gave me. And while you might think that I know nothing whatsoever about art, and be right in that assumption, I brought my mom along, who is really genuinely interested and she was also very disappointed. Too bad! Well, if you are super hooked on Matisse, maybe, just maybe this is something for you. Otherwise, see the parks and the buildings, have a cup of coffee up there, but don't bother with the museum. At least the house, the olive trees and the ruins are beautiful. This is where the famous Nice Jazz festival is held every year, something I will get back to.
By the way, once you leave the park and head for the bus station, look west in the first intersection. In the monstrous white apartment building just on the other side of the road is where Queen Victoria used to live for a short stint and dabble in painting (told to us by a French English teacher with tons of lipstick on her teeth) just so you know!

For 4 euros (2 for students!), you won't find a better value in a museum. The Matisse museum is set up in the hills of Nice and offers not only many fantastic works by the artist but a great view of the city too.
Matisse himself donated some of the work found in the museum, as he spent his last years in Nice. There are several hundred objects total, many of them paintings and sculptures, but there are also drawings and photos. The works here span Matisse's entire life, and a large portion of them are chronologically arranged. Prior to visiting the museum, I was not a huge fan of Matisse, so I cannot say which of the works is his most famous, but all of them are quite stunning!
The building itself is also a work of art. The building is set on a beautiful villa, and the red exterior attracted my eye immediately. Inside, the Matisse museum is bright and airy, with hardwood floors throughout, and several open levels to explore. The gift shop is located on the lower level, away from any of his work, so it does not detract from the atmosphere a bit.
The museum is open every day except Tuesdays–-hours are 10am to 6pm. From central Nice, it is a 20- to 30-minute walk, but it is mostly uphill. Taking the bus is an easy option. For more information, head to the Matisse Museum website for collection information.

If you love Matisse, you have to visit this museum. To get to the museum you have to get to the Cimiez, the area of Nice that is famous as the place of the ancient ruins that date back to the Roman times. The museum itself is located in a building that was built in 17th century and used to be a Genoese villa. We parked near the church with Gothic features and walked through the park to the museum. The entrance is through the new wing that is a recent addition, if you are facing the museum the entrance is to the right down the stairs.
The museum has a large collection of Matisse's paintings. This is probably the only place where you can see the whole "Jazz" series. Unfortunately the paintings are behind the glass and taking pictures is not allowed. But if you want to have a memory, go to the lower level book store. They have a huge number of books on art including the "Jazz" published in New York (weird!).
The villa has 2 floors that exhibit permanent collection from the period when Matisse lived in Nice (1917-1954). Here you can find some of the most well known paintings of his. Part of the collection if from heirs. One of the halls has several of the famous carpets with blue birds, sea life. I saw another one in Centre Pompidou in Paris, and yet another one is in National Gallery in Washington, DC. You can also see Matisse's sculptures which are pretty rare.
