angry tapir writes "Attackers have abused the WordPress pingback feature, which allows sites to cross-reference blog posts, to launch a large-scale, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack, according to researchers from Web security firm Sucuri. The attack involved over 162,000 legitimate WordPress websites being forced to send hundreds of requests per second to a popular WordPress site, preventing access to it for many hours. The attack exploited an issue with the XML-RPC (XML remote procedure call) implementation in WordPress that's used for features like pingback, trackback, remote access from mobile devices and others, and brought back into the spotlight the denial-of-service risks associated with this functionality that have been known since 2007."

Elliot Glaysher, a Google developer explains, 'We aim to launch the Aura graphics stack on Linux in M35. Aura is a cross-platform graphics system, and the Aura frontend will replace the current GTK+ frontend.' The Free Software community is debating: is Google trying to do Canonical? Couldn't Google just switch to Qt, which is becoming an industry standard?"
SternisheFan writes with this news from the Washington Post: "In an extraordinary public accusation, the head of the Senate Intelligence Committee declared on Tuesday that the CIA interfered with and then tried to intimidate a congressional investigation into the agency's possible use of torture in terror probes during the Bush administration. The CIA clandestinely removed documents and searched a computer network set up for lawmakers, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein in a long and biting speech on the Senate floor. In an escalating dispute with an agency she has long supported, she said the CIA may well have violated criminal laws and the U.S. Constitution."
An anonymous reader writes "Apple and Samsung couldn't agree on a patent cross-license even though their CEOs met recently. What could be the reason (or one of the reasons) is that Apple is asking for obscenely high patent royalties. At the March 31 trial an Apple-hired expert will present to a California jury (already the third jury trial in this dispute) a damages claim of $40 per device (phone or tablet) for just a handful of software patents. The patents are related to, but don't cover all aspects and elements of, functionalities like slide-to-unlock, autocorrect, data synchronization, unified search and the famous tap-on-phone-number-to-dial feature. Google says there are 250,000 patentable inventions in a smartphone. On average, Apple wants $8 per patent per device. That would add a patent licensing bill of $2 million to each gadget. So Apple and Samsung will be back to court again later this month."
First time accepted submitter evidencebase writes "How can an airliner simply disappear, leaving no clues? And why do we have to wait until the black boxes are found to learn what happened to Flight MH370? As this article explains, there's no good reason that flight data needs to go down with the plane, because the technology to stream it to ground, from the moment things start to go wrong, is already on the market. It can be fitted to a commercial airliner for less than $100,000. But the industry has decided that it's not worth the expense. Tell that the the families of passengers on Flight MH370."
cartechboy writes "It feels like this story is becoming repetitive: X state is trying to ban Tesla stores, or the ability for an automaker to sell directly to a consumer. Either way, it's all aimed at Tesla. Now it's New Jersey's turn as a hearing today could end up banning Tesla stores in the state. Naturally Tesla's displeased with this and is crying foul. A rule change that is expected to be approved today would require all new-car dealers to provide a franchise agreement in order to receive a license from the state. Obviously Tesla (the manufacturer) can't provide a franchise agreement to itself (the distributor). The proposed rule would also require dealers to maintain a 1,000 square foot facility, the ability to show two cars, and service customer cars on site. Tesla doesn't meet that last requirement at any of its galleries, and most of the Tesla stores are located in shopping malls which mean they are smaller than 1,000 square feet. Tesla's arguing the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is overstepping its bounds. Will Tesla be able to defeat this new rule in New Jersey as it has overcome issues in many other states?" (Also covered by the Wall Street Journal.)
Lucas123 writes "Audi is set to became the first car company to offer native, in-vehicle broadband in its 2015 A3 models through AT&T and it has just listed pricing for the service. Audi and AT&T will offer two data plan options: a 5GB, 6-month plan for $99 and a 30GB, 30-month plan for $499. Audi and GM first announced the upcoming availability of in-car 4G LTE during the CES show this year. GM plans to roll out 4G LTE in vehicles later this year and will eventually have more than 30 models supporting it. Audi said it plans to expand 4G LTE capability across its entire lineup as new or refreshed models come to market."
An anonymous reader writes "As luck would have it, I was video-attending the monthly meeting of my alma mater's amateur radio club last night and learned that a local Alumnus had passed, leaving a significant amount of equipment to the club, including a 'Big Bertha' tower that the club does not have a home for. This particular 'Big Bertha,' as it is called, is a 115 foot tall, self-supporting rotatable pole that can support an enormous number of antennae. There are thought to be only a small number of them in civilian use, and this was one of them. I also happen to be a member of the local University's amateur radio club, and our local meeting was right after the Georgia Tech meeting, so upon learning of the availability I immediately informed them that this tower could be had so long as they could support the logistics of moving the tower approximately 100 miles.
After discussing the logistics, and the fact that construction crews would be required on both sides, we came to the conclusion that a significant amount of money would be required, and that your typical intramural basketweaving team bake sale would not do the job. The use case for such a tower is not difficult to make with the University, or with local emergency services who would no doubt love to have space on such a tall tower in such a prime 'top of the hill' geographical location. Zoning will also not be an issue owing to the location having one other taller tower belonging to the college radio station, and a water tower on site. However, with most governments being cash-strapped and unlikely willing to contribute to the project, we need some more ideas on how to raise the needed funds.
So if you're a small University club, and need to raise $30-40K in a hurry, how do you do it? They are working on some small grants from local corporations, and also contacting the manufacturer to see if there is any goodwill there. But, many more ideas are needed. Thanks in advance."
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from Investor's Business Daily:"Buried deep in a section of President Obama's budget, released this week, is an eye-opening fact: This year, 70% of all the money the federal government spends will be in the form of direct payments to individuals, an all-time high. In effect, the government has become primarily a massive money-transfer machine, taking $2.6 trillion from some and handing it back out to others. These government transfers now account for 15% of GDP, another all-time high. In 1991, direct payments accounted for less than half the budget and 10% of GDP. What's more, the cost of these direct payments is exploding. Even after adjusting for inflation, they've shot up 29% under Obama." It's very hard to lay blame on only one part of the U.S. government, though; as the two largest parties are often fond of pointing out when it suits them, all spending bills originate in the House.
Nerval's Lobster writes "While automakers from Tokyo to Detroit rush to sprinkle their respective vehicles with all sorts of sensors and screens, the chairman of Volkswagen Group has warned about the limits of data analytics for automobiles. 'The car must not become a data monster,' Martin Winterkorn told an audience at the CeBit trade show in Germany, according to Re/code. 'I clearly say yes to Big Data, yes to greater security and convenience, but no to paternalism and Big Brother.' At the same time, Winterkorn endorsed a closer relationship between tech companies such as IBM and the auto industry, and highlighted Volkswagen's experiments with autonomous driving—both of which will necessarily infuse automakers (and his company in particular) with more data-driven processes. The question is which policies from which entities will ultimately dictate how that data is used. Winterkorn isn't the first individual to voice concerns about how automakers (and their partners) store and analyze all that vehicle data. At this January's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, a Ford executive drew considerable controversy by suggesting that Ford collects detailed information on how customers use its vehicles. 'We know everyone who breaks the law, we know when you're doing it. We have GPS in your car, so we know what you're doing. By the way, we don't supply that data to anyone,' Jim Farley, Ford's global vice president of marketing and sales, told show attendees. Farley later attempted to clarify his statement to Business Insider, but that didn't stop a fierce debate over vehicle monitoring—and certainly hasn't stopped automakers and tech companies from collaborating over more ways to integrate data-centric features to vehicles."
Martin S. writes "The Register reports that 'Top UK e-commerce sites including Amazon, Tesco and Virgin Atlantic are not doing enough to safeguard users from their own password-related foibles, according to a new study by Dashlane ... 66% accept notoriously weak passwords such as '123456' or 'password,' putting users in danger as these are often the first passwords hackers use when trying to breach accounts. ... 66% make no attempt to block entry after 10 incorrect password entries (including Amazon UK, Next, Tesco and New Look). This simple policy prevents hackers from using malicious software that can run thousands of passwords during log-ins to breach accounts.'" xkcd has some insight about why this is bad for users generally, not just on any sites that happen to get compromised. Rules that require ever more complexity in passwords, though, probably backfire quite a bit, too.
Bennett Haselton writes with a bit of online detective work done with a little help from some (internet-distributed) friends: "A website that was temporarily inaccessible on my Comcast Internet connection (but accessible to my friends on other providers) led me to investigate further. Using a perl script, I found a sampling of websites that were inaccessible on Comcast (hostnames not resolving on DNS) but were working on other networks. Then I used Amazon Mechanical Turk to pay volunteers 25 cents apiece to check if they could access the website, and confirmed that (most) Comcast users were blocked from accessing it while users on other providers were not. The number of individual websites similarly inaccessible on Comcast could potentially be in the millions." Read on for the details.
An anonymous reader writes "Canada and South Korea announced agreement on a comprehensive trade agreement earlier today. Michael Geist reports that the intellectual property chapter is significant for what it does not include. Unlike many other trade deals — particularly those involving the U.S., European Union, and Australia — the Canada-South Korea deal is content to leave domestic intellectual property rules largely untouched. Instead, the approach is to reaffirm the importance of intellectual property and ensure that both countries meet their international obligations, but not to use trade agreements as a backdoor mechanism to increase IP protections. That means no copyright term extension, no three-strikes and you're out rules, and increase to pharma patents."
alphadogg writes "A sneak peek at the annual Computing Research Association's (CRA) report on computer science enrollments at colleges shows that strong demand for technically-savvy workers is luring students in a big way.

Among the findings: Among 123 departments responding last year and the year before, there was a 22% increase in enrollment for computer science bachelor's degree programs at U.S. schools. Degrees awarded increased 0.9% and new enrollments rose 13.7%"

Last year, Intel demonstrated speeds of 100Gbps in each direction, using eight fibers. A new connector that goes by the name "MXC" holds up to 64 fibers ... The fiber technology also maintains its maximum speed over much greater distances than copper, sending 800Gbps at lengths up to 300 meters, Intel photonics technology lab director Mario Paniccia told Ars. Eventually, the industry could boost the per-line rate from 25Gbps to 50Gbps, doubling the overall throughput without adding fibers, he said.'"

Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, KG GCVO (Richard Alexander Walter George; born 26 August 1944) is the youngest grandchild of King George V and Queen Mary. He has been Duke of Gloucester since his father's death in 1974. He is currently 23rd in the line of succession to the British throne and the first person in line who is not a descendant of King George VI. The Duke of Gloucester carries out royal engagements on behalf of his cousin, Queen Elizabeth II.
Early life[edit]
Prince Richard was born on 26 August 1944 at Hadley Common[2] in Hertfordshire. His father was Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester, the third son of King George V and Queen Mary. His mother was Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester (née Lady Alice Montagu Douglas Scott), a daughter of the 7th Duke of Buccleuch.
Richard was baptised in the private chapel of Windsor Castle on 20 October 1944 by Archbishop of Canterbury Cosmo Lang. His godparents were his paternal aunt, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Marie Louise (his cousin), the Countess of Athlone (his cousin, for whom her daughter, the Lady May Abel Smith stood proxy), the Duke of Buccleuch (his maternal uncle), the Marquess of Cambridge (his cousin), the Lady Sybil Phipps (his maternal aunt), and General the Hon Sir Harold Alexander (for whom his wife, the Lady Margaret Alexander, stood proxy). Because of the war, newspapers did not identify the precise location of the christening, saying only that it took place at "a private chapel in the country".[3][3][4]
As a grandson of the British monarch in the male line, he was styled His Royal Highness Prince Richard of Gloucester at birth. At the time of his birth he was fifth in the line of succession to the throne, and second in line to his father's Dukedom, behind his brother, Prince William of Gloucester, who died in 1972 when the plane he was piloting crashed at Halfpenny Green, near Wolverhampton.
When Prince Richard was four months old, he accompanied his parents to Australia, where his father was Governor-General from 1945 to 1947. The family returned to Barnwell Manor in 1947.
Education and career[edit]
Prince Richard's early education took place at home; later, he attended school at Wellesley House in Broadstairs and Eton College. In 1963, he matriculated at Magdalene College, Cambridge to read architecture and received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in June 1966. Subsequently, he incepted as MA (Cantab) in 1971.
After earning his BA in 1966, Prince Richard joined the (then) Offices Development Group of the Ministry of Public Building and Works for a year of practical work. He returned to Cambridge in 1967, and in June 1969, he passed both parts of the exam for his Diploma in Architecture. Upon completion of his training, he went into practice as a partner in a London architectural firm.
Although he had intended to practice full-time as an architect, the death of his brother, Prince William, in 1972, when the plane he was piloting crashed near Wolverhampton, left Richard first in line to his father's dukedom and increased his family obligations and royal duties. He therefore resigned his partnership and began to represent his cousin, Elizabeth II, at royal engagements. On 10 June 1974, Prince Richard succeeded his father as Duke of Gloucester, Earl of Ulster and Baron Culloden. The Duke remains particularly interested in architecture and conservation; he became a corporate member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1972, and serves as a commissioner of the Historic Building and Monuments Commission for England (English Heritage). He is the Royal Patron of the UK branch of the charity "Habitat for Humanity".[5]
Prince Richard has published three books of photographs under the name Richard Gloucester. On Public View: a Selection of London's Open-air Sculpture, with Paul William White (London, Hutchinson, 1971); The Face of London (London, Phaidon Press, 1973); and Oxford and Cambridge, with Hermione Hobhouse (London : Macdonald General Books, 1980). A keen motorist, Prince Richard was president of the Institute of Advanced Motorists for more than 32 years. He had passed the institute's advanced test in 1965. On his appointment in 1971 it was recorded that the institute's new president was "currently [driving] an Austin 1300".[6] He resigned as president in January 2005.[7]
Royal duties[edit]
On 10 April 2008, Prince Richard was officially installed as the Founding Chancellor of the University of Worcester in a ceremony at Worcester Cathedral. In this role, the Prince officiates at degree ceremonies and major events, as well as promoting the University overseas. The Duke carried out the first of these duties on 5 and 6 November 2008 at the Graduation Award Ceremonies.
Prince Richard is also a patron of the Severn Valley Railway and the Pestalozzi International Village Trust. He shares a name with another Duke of Gloucester, King Richard III, and is the Patron of the Richard III Society.[8]
During 2009 The Duke of Gloucester became Patron of the de Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre[9] in support of its bid to raise funds through private means and through a bid for Heritage Lottery Funding to help develop this learning experience, protect the priceless exhibits and improve visitor access to the oldest aviation heritage centre in Britain. It celebrated its 50th anniversary on 15 May 2009.
On 8 November 2011 he opened the new Law School Building at the University of Hertfordshire on the de Havilland campus site of the former de Havilland Aircraft factory.[10]
As part of his role as the Chancellor of the University of Worcester, The Duke of Gloucester was present at the opening of the new University library; The Hive-Europe's first joint public and university library, which was officially opened by his cousin, The Queen, on 11 July 2012.
On 19 March 2013, Prince Richard represented The Queen at the inauguration of Pope Francis at the Vatican.
He is a member of the International Advisory Board of the Royal United Services Institute.
Marriage and family[edit]
On 8 July 1972, Prince Richard married the Danish Birgitte van Deurs, at St Andrew's Church, Barnwell, in Northamptonshire. They have three children:
- Earl of Ulster (Alexander Patrick Gregers Richard Windsor), born 24 October 1974. He married Claire Booth on 22 June 2002. The couple has two children:
- Lord Culloden (Xan Richard Anders Windsor), born 12 March 2007
- Lady Cosima Rose Alexandra Windsor, born 20 May 2010
- The Lady Davina Elizabeth Alice Benedikte Lewis, born 19 November 1977. She married Gary Lewis on 31 July 2004. The couple has two children:
- Senna Kowhai Lewis, born 22 June 2010
- Tāne Mahuta Lewis, born 25 May 2012
- The Lady Rose Victoria Birgitte Louise Gilman, born 1 March 1980. She married George Gilman on 19 July 2008. The couple has two children:
- Lyla Beatrix Christabel Gilman, born 30 May 2010
- Rufus Gilman, born October/November 2012
Their children do not carry out royal duties. As great-grandchildren of a British Sovereign, they do not possess royal titles and are styled as the children of a duke. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester's official residence is at Kensington Palace in London.[11] They have leased their private home, Barnwell Manor, since 1994.

Patrilineal descent[edit]
Patrilineal descent |
Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester's patriline is the line from which he is descended father to son. His patrilineal descent (the principle behind membership in Germanic royal houses) can be traced back through the generations—which means that if The Duke of Gloucester were to choose an historically accurate house name it would be Wettin, as all his male-line ancestors have been members. The line diverges from the British royal line at Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, and from then on follows his paternal ancestors. Prince Richard is currently the senior agnatic descendant of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha as the heir-male of King Edward VII. House of Wettin[edit]

Main main index Narrative
That fro the tyme that he first bigan Geoffrey Chaucer (Galfridus Chaucer, El Jefe, L.L. Cool Geoff) (c. 1343 – 25 October 1400) was an English author, poet, philosopher, bureaucrat, courtier and diplomat. Although he wrote many works, he is best remembered for his unfinished frame narrative The Canterbury Tales. Sometimes called the "father of English literature", Chaucer is widely credited as first demonstrating the artistic legitimacy of the vernacular English language as opposed to French or Latin, and thus, he is the one who made stories accessible to the general, uneducated, illiterate-in-English-let-alone-Latin-or-French average Joe. Chaucer's works were among the earliest printed in English, which did much to establish his southern dialect as "correct" written English. He is buried in the Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey. He is in fact the reason it is called the Poet's Corner. Of course, he owed his Westminster Abbey grave to his services to the crown, not his literary eminence.As a character, Chaucer appears in A Knight's Tale, where he is played by Paul Bettany.He hath a blog, too. And eke doth tweet, by'r Lady!Works by Geoffrey Chaucer with their own trope page:Other works by Geoffrey Chaucer provide examples of:

'Life Unexpected' preview: Lux's shocking testimony could change everything
Last week, the whole gang's Thanksgiving was interrupted by the Portland police bursting in to take Tasha (Ksenia Solo) into custody after she hit Trey, Lux's former foster father.
When the state department decides to press charges against Tasha, the whole family rallies around her to support her. When Zap2it last spoke to Britt Robertson, she told us firmly that despite her recent preoccupation with Eric (Shawn Sipos), Tasha is still one of the most important people in Lux's life.
"They're each other's beginning," Robertson says. "Tasha's the one person in Lux's life that I think she really, really, completely trusts. She's been Lux's family since she was seven years old. You'll see in the next episode that their relationship continues to grow. Despite all of their mistakes, they'll always be there for each other."
When Lux is asked to testify in Tasha's case, she hesitates, concerned that revealing the truth about her time in foster care will push Eric away and make her family look at her differently. The lengths that Lux goes to to keep her past in the past may not only jeopardize her relationships, but could land Tasha in a federal penitentiary.
Lux's testimony is so shocking that a courtroom brawl breaks out -- but the person who lands the first punch will surprise you. The hits just keep on coming after that. If you think things have settled down, don't get too comfortable - there's a reveal in the final moments of the episode that could prove to be devastating to one of our favorite characters.
We don't want to give too much away, but suffice to say that "Stand Taken" is easily the series' most powerful episode. You'll see characters you thought you knew in an entirely different light. Robertson and Kristoffer Polaha in particular give performances that are subtly heartbreaking - arguably the best of their respective careers.
Basically, if you don't cry... we think you should get your tear ducts examined.
Sounds like an amazing episode. Can't wait!
Too bad CW has already cancelled the series. Makes me not even want to bother to watch anymore.
i am soooo freaking excited for this episode. every ep of life unexpected has been amazing (in my opinion), but this one looks like it will top them all! i get chills just watching the promo! :)
The previews already show who throws the first punch.
SO EXCITED FOR THIS EPISODE!!! It looks so intense and powerful. One of the best shows on TV! The CW are morons for even thinking about letting it go. I hope they reconsider, or that ABC Family (or any other network) is smart enough to pick it up. I need more LUX!!! SAVE LIFE UNEXPECTED!!!!
Series has not been cancelled yet. Release of season 1 DVD was.
This is 1 of the best shows on TV and it's going to get axed! Thank you reality TV for ruining another great show!!
Life Unexpected has not been cancelled. At least not yet. The release of season 1 DVD was.
Baze's Father throws the first punch.
Great review! This episode is gonna mess with our emotions badly!!! I don't think I've ever been this excited for any tv episode! Looking forward to see Britt, Kris, Shiri and Tasha's performances! :) They're gonna rock it!
LIFE UNEXPECTED IS A GEM! CW, think twice before cancelling it!!! The show has fans all over the world!

Immunotransplant for Mantle Cell Lymphoma - ASCO 2011
The Lymphoma Immunotherapy Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and the Brody Lab focus on basic and applied tumor immunology (particularly in lymphoma, melanoma, and ovarian adenocarcinoma). Other areas of interest include: bioinformatic-based collaborations tracking T-cell responses using high-throughput sequencing of the entire TCRbV repertoire and studies of small-molecule inhibitors of lymphocyte signal transduction, e.g. PI3K, mTOR, btk. Our lab has the rare opportunity to both perform correlative studies on primary patient tumor samples from early phase clinical trials and to continually develop advancements in those trials based on what is learned. The core mission is the translation of basic science in tumor immunology into novel clinical trials and development of correlative science associated with those trials to gain a greater understanding of mechanistic-clinical correlates.

The Western Wildlife Corridor is working hard to improve the Ohio River Valley, specifically on the western side of Hamilton County. Stretching from Mill Creek near downtown to the Great Miami River bordering Indiana, one of the primary threats, according to WWC President Tim Sisson, is the prevalence of invasive plant species. Mark Perzel talks with Mr. Sisson about this and other threats, and how the WWC is working to improve this area of the county.

The election was held over from last month's Annual General Meeting following an eligibility issue concerning the other nominated candidate.
Rhodes was the only candidate nominated in the subsequent election.
"We congratulate David on his election and welcome him to his new role," said New Zealand Rugby Chairman Mike Eagle.
Rhodes has served the game over many decades as a player, coach and administrator. He has been a director of the Crusaders, Chairman of the Canterbury Rugby Football Union and member of the Hillary Commission.
New Zealand Rugby also confirmed the appointments of experienced business woman Julie Christie and sports leader Kereyn Smith to the Board's Commercial Committee and Rugby Committee respectively.
"We are very pleased these two well qualified leaders in their field have agreed to help us with the important work these two committees carry out," said Eagle.
The Commercial Committee reviews the various commercial strategies and opportunities of New Zealand Rugby and the Rugby Committee examines issues relating to the professional and community game.
"Appointing Julie and Kereyn is also a first step to providing some valuable gender balance at the governance level of New Zealand Rugby and we look forward to their involvement," said Eagle.
Julie Christie ONZM is a media and business consultant, a respected television producer, director of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and served on the board of Rugby New Zealand 2011, the organising committee for Rugby World Cup 2011.
Kereyn Smith has enjoyed a long career in sport leadership. She is currently Secretary General of the New Zealand Olympic Committee and has chaired Netball New Zealand, served on the board of the Highlanders and is a former General Manager of the Hillary Commission.

Defense leads to HU demise
A lackluster defensive effort led to the Foresters' demise as they fell 75-57 to Taylor University.
The first 17 minutes of the contest went back and forth with both teams trying to gain some momentum. During that stretch, the score was tied three times and the lead changed hands ten times, but it was Taylor that made its move first. The Trojans went on a 7-1 run in the final three minutes to take a 39-33 lead to the locker room at halftime.
Taylor seemed to pick up where it left off as the second half began and quickly had HU down ten. The Foresters cut into the margin, narrowing the gap to 48-40 with 13:32 remaining, but the Trojans put together eight unanswered points to expand their margin to 16 points and HU never was able to mount a significant threat the remainder of the game.
Taylor's Alison Heesch was nearly unstoppable in the paint as she took HU for 27 points and 13 rebounds. Bethany Ballard added 15 and Paige Rudolph finished with 11 for the Trojans. Courtney Beerbower led three Foresters in double figures with 21 points. Brittney Bateman added 13 and Jenna Donaldson finished with 10.
Taylor hit 51% from the field, including 6 for 11 from 3-point range while holding HU to 36% shooting for the game. The Trojans also held a dominant advantage under the glass with a 41-26 margin in rebounds.
The loss drops the women to 9-7 on the season and 1-3 in the MCC.

Ogilvy runs infographic ads for Forbes.
(via I Believe in Advertising | ONLY SELECTED ADVERTISING | Advertising Blog & Community » Forbes: Donald Trump, Eike Batista, Richard Branson, Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, Mark Zuckerberg)
(image via Dario Escobar: Sports Recontextualized «)
I have a half-baked idea that I've been discussing with friends recently–alright, half-baked might be generous, this idea is still flour and water.
Being a communications geek in the company of more geeks, I often get onto tangents about mass media, annoying advertising, ads that don't work, the changing media landscape, etc.
I keep coming back to the idea of a metaphor, a thing taken as something different. Metaphor is at the core of understanding and creativity, it makes it possible to take wild leaps and connect far away ideas. It can make something liquid into something more concrete, and vice versa.
Some folks, like George Lakoff, even hold that metaphors are the tools that shape how we see the world, and that understanding how we use metaphor to connect objects and ideas can pull back the curtain on how our minds work.
For instance, why are all of the metaphors for marketing about warfare? We position* ideas and products to best reach our target*. With the right strategy we might even win a price-war*.
Our messages typically get packaged, sharpened, and shipped out to reach an audience. But there's just one problem: ideas don't travel by freight.
This isn't news, as brains like Seth Godin and Russell Davies will tell you, but those of us in cultures that are inundated with mass media have become desensitized to the messages we are bombarded with on a daily basis.
Apathy is a gateway drug, and it's usually the best defense against the weapons of mass distraction that litter most public spaces under the guise of commercial speech. But–and here's the interesting part–there's another way to communicate with people that doesn't rely on the packaging of content, but rather the illumination of context. Design.
It makes sense that the professionals who routinely get pre-packaged content (along with a scribbled note that says 'make this pretty') are experts in getting an idea across through context.
Commercial communicators (advertisers, marketers, bears who dance with signs) have a lot to learn (read:steal) from the designer's toolbox.
A lot of the best art inspires, in part, because it makes a space for a person to enter in to and live their own story. Also, I think we're too quick to forget that all of those Medici sculptures and temples (David and Il Duomo included) were ads in their own way … for a bank!
The beauty of digital media is that background and foreground can swap pretty effortlessly. Messages can be subtle, pixelated, and elegant, all without the aid of an idea assembly line.
//How many ads can you think of that would've benefited from a little negative space?
//How many jokes are better when told REALLY LOUD?//(almost none)
//As Ogilvy put it, "I have a passion for landscape, and I have never seen one improved by a billboard."
//Considering that I spend an inordinate amount of my time absorbing touch screen radiation, I'd like nothing better than to see an ad that was actually beautiful, or even cool.
//Ultimately, being cool is useless, except for when it makes something interesting.
Just a thought …

Nine diverse, scenic places to take the family and explore the Pony Express Territory.
Photo: Jay Aldrich (Great Basin National Park); Dan Newton (Fort Churchill)
Nevada's U.S. Highway 50 corridor is dotted with a diverse arrangement of nationally and state-protected sites from Great Basin National Park and Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park in the east to Dayton State Park and Fallon and Stillwater National Wildlife Refuges in the west. Between them, they offer a multitude of recreational and educational treasures and preserve some of the state's most precious natural and historic gems.
Visitors familiar with the throngs of tourists found at such national parks as Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Yosemite will be pleasantly surprised by what is lacking at Great Basin National Park. There are no long lines of tour buses, no traffic, and no need to make a camping reservation months in advance.
Among the least-visited national parks in the country, Great Basin is a picture of solitude and untouched natural beauty. Perched atop eastern Nevada's Snake Range at altitudes ranging from 5,000 to 13,000 feet, the park is an homage to the region for which it is named and spotlights the multitude of geography, plant life, and animal life found therein.
Great Basin's top attraction is Lehman Caves. Discovered in 1885 by rancher Absalom Lehman and recognized as a national monument in 1922, the caves are home to some of the most ornate underground formations in the country, including more than 300 rare shield formations—shields consist of two parallel oval panels with a medial crack between them. Ranger-led tours of Lehman Caves are available daily and cost from $4 to $10. More than 40 additional caves exist in the park, eight of which can be explored by experienced cavers with park-issued permits.
Wheeler Peak, at 13,063 feet, is the second-tallest mountain in Nevada and another of the park's major attractions. Its summit can be reached via a strenuous hike, and its flanks are home to Nevada's only glacier and a grove of the oldest living organisms on earth, bristlecone pines. The trees have been known to live for nearly 5,000 years, and four groves exist in the park.
Lexington Arch, somewhat off-the-beaten-path in the southern part of the park, is an impressive stone arch that is well worth the side trip and 3.4-mile roundtrip hike. In addition to these attractions, the park is home to more than 60 miles of trails and numerous fishable streams. Four improved campgrounds offer vaulted toilets, picnic tables, tent pads, and campfire grills, and two primitive campgrounds have picnic tables and fire rings. Overnight visitors will delight in a tapestry of unbelievably bright and abundant stars, courtesy of the park's high-altitude location far away from major light pollution.
Great Basin National Park
Nestled in a high canyon in eastern Nevada's Schell Creek Range about 15 miles south of Ely, Cave Lake State Park is a natural gem among the state's protected areas. The primary draw to the park, as the name suggests, is Cave Lake, where anglers drop their lines for brown and rainbow trout as well as crawdads. Ice fishing is popular in the coldest months of the year. The lake takes center stage during the annual Cocktails and Cannons event, June 25, and White Pine Fire & Ice Show, January 13-15, 2012.
Landlubbers can enjoy hiking and mountain biking on the system of trails that includes Cave Lake Overlook, Steptoe Creek, Twisted Pine, and more. Two campgrounds feature campfire grills, tables, restrooms, hot showers, and parking. For a unique camping experience, a Mongolian yurt is available with reservations.
Cave Lake State Park
An interesting trait of many Nevada points of interest is that they include natural and historical significance. This is so often the case because the state's earliest settlements were built near mineral deposits in Nevada's unique mountain ranges or near sources of water. Dayton State Park in Dayton owes its existence to both.
The park's main attraction, the ruins of the Rock Point Mill, is what's left of one of the largest stamp mills ever built in Nevada. The mill, on the bank of the Carson River, served Virginia City's Comstock Lode during its heyday.
The park also offers fishing and bird watching on the Carson River and camping and picnic facilities. Autumn, when the park's abundant cottonwood trees blaze bright yellow along the banks of the Carson River, is a great time to visit.
Dayton State Park
The Great Basin is unique in that none of its waterways drain to the ocean. Rather, they drain into landlocked lakes, wetlands, and underground aquifers, or simply evaporate off the desert floor. Carson Sink, north of Fallon, is the terminus of the Carson River and numerous streams. As a result, wetlands and desert scrub lands of the Carson Sink are home to a stunning array of waterfowl and other wildlife.
Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge, southeast of Fallon National Wildlife Refuge, is considered among the nation's and world's most important bird areas by the American Bird Conservancy, National Audubon Society, and Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network. The vital Pacific Flyway migration stop attracts about 350,000 waterfowl and shorebirds annually, and more than 280 species of birds have been sighted in the area. The annual Spring Wings Bird Festival, this year May 13-15, celebrates the diverse avian life found in the refuge.
Fallon National Wildlife Refuge is an important area for such animals as coyotes, kangaroo rats, kit foxes, mule deer, mountain lions, and many species of waterfowl. There are no access roads in the refuge, and visitors should contact the Stillwater Complex before attempting travel in the area.
Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge Complex
Veterans of travel in Nevada's outback can easily fathom a time when this land was a great, untamed frontier. At Fort Churchill State Historic Park, about 40 miles east of Carson City via U.S. Highway 50 and Alternate 95, even novice Nevada explorers can get a feel for what the Silver State was like when pioneers crossed its vast expanses.
The former U.S. Army fort was built in 1861 to protect early settlers from the sometimes-hostile local Paiutes. Most of the original adobe buildings stand today, and interpretive signs inform visitors what roles the decaying ruins once played at the fort.
The park includes 20 campsites, a group camping area, and picnic sites along the Carson River. Across the river, Buckland Station was one of the earliest ranches in Nevada and a Pony Express and Overland Stage stop.
Fort Churchill State Historic Park
In order to effectively turn the desert green and create an agricultural oasis in Churchill County, the Newlands Project of the early 1900s needed a means to store water for irrigation. Lahontan Dam was built in 1915, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 321,000 acre-feet. Lahontan Reservoir was named a State Recreation Area in 1971 and has since become a water-sports mecca. Two paved boat ramps at North Shore Marina and the Silver Springs day-use area provide access to the lake, and boaters with four-wheel-drive vehicles can also launch boats from beaches where camping is permitted.
In addition to water sports, the lake is popular among anglers for its catfish, trout, walleye, and white bass.
Lahontan State Recreation Area
775-577-2235, 775-867-3500
As the waters of ancient Lake Lahontan receded to expose the Lahontan Valley, the prevailing winds pushed much of the drying sand from its former shores and against the flanks of the Stillwater Range. The resulting Sand Mountain stretches two miles, is 600 feet tall, and has piqued the curiosity of humans for millennia. Ancient people feared the singing dune—wind passing over the sand and simply walking on it causes it to emit roaring and moaning sounds—but modern people embrace the unique mountain, speeding around it in off-road vehicles, hiking up it, sliding down it, and sandboarding on it.
Sand Mountain Recreation Area, about 25 miles east of Fallon, attracts more than 30,000 visitors annually and includes a dry campground (there is no water available) and restrooms. The nearby ruins of the Sand Springs Pony Express Station are among the best preserved from the more than 150-year-old mail route and well worth the short side trip.
Sand Mountain Recreation Area
In the 1870s, silver was discovered in the Egan Range south of Ely. The ensuing boom was responsible for the growth of Ward, which at its height boasted 1,500 residents. The
most significant remnants of the town are a unique set of six well-preserved ovens once used to make charcoal for smelting.
While the beehive-shaped ovens are the impetus for and main attraction of Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park, the park also offers trails for hiking, mountain biking, and ATVing, and Willow Creek supports naturally reproducing brook, brown, and rainbow trout for fishing. Willow Creek campground has 14 sites, vaulted toilets, and drinking water from mid-May through September.

At Home With Sadie Stein
When it comes to matters of the home, Sadie Stein, like a character in a Barbara Pym novel, takes pleasure in the small things. The nerdy-stylish deputy editor of The Paris Review once fell in love with an apartment for its wooden toilet paper spindle. Although Ms. Stein, 32, a former fashion and arts correspondent at Jezebel, admits that she's "made some questionable apartment decisions," they have always been in the service of suiting her old-fashioned tastes. Ms. Stein lives in a big, pre-war apartment building on the Upper West Side and recently gave us a peek inside. Read More
