Unlimited Gold Glitch Skyrim
Thanks to MalavarTCOne that found this glitch. You get an unlimited supply of "Doors of Oblivion" which are valued at 50 Gold, you can sell them and come back to the skeleton who will still have more to give. Thus unlimited income. The best way I found to sell is to find a general goods store, sell the amount of books equal to the shop owners gold, wait fourty eight hours and the shopkeeper should have gold again for you to sell more books. The skeleton is located near the Sightless Pit" on your way to Azura's Shrine from Winterhold.

Press ReleasesJanuary 2007MLA Awarded Elsevier Grant to Train Librarians in Africa, Asia, and Latin AmericaThe Medical Library Association is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an $80,000 grant from one of its corporate partners, Elsevier-a world-leading publisher of scientific, technical, and medical books and journals-to train librarians on the African, Asian, and Latin American continents. This is a joint program co-sponsored by Librarians Without Borders: a global initiative of MLA and Elsevier. The Elsevier grant is earmarked for 2007 HINARI/AGORA/OARE (HOA)-related training workshops. The grant will be used to fund eight on-site workshops, one distance education course, and development of new training modules. This electronic library training initiative will be based on Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI) training materials. The HINARI program, a collaboration between the World Health Organization and major publishers, enables developing countries to gain access to one of the world's largest collections of biomedical and health literature. It is one of the principal projects designed to bridge the health information gap between developing and industrialized countries. "Local training has proven to increase usage of the research and I am confident that this program in conjunction with MLA will provide better access to HINARI/AGORA/OARE for the researchers and students in developing countries," commented Tony McSean, Elsevier's Director of Library Relations. MLA established the Librarians Without Borders program to strengthen its role and commitment to global health information. The Librarians Without Borders Website - which will feature MLA's international policy, programs, and activities - will debut on MLANET in the coming months. About the Medical Library Association About HINARI About AGORA About OARE About Elsevier Elsevier (http://www.elsevier.com/) is a global business headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and has offices worldwide.

I sincerely appreciate the honor MLA members have bestowed on me, and I will do my best to be an effective president of MLA." This will be Ryan's second time serving on the MLA Board of Directors.

She has also been instrumental in the development of ARhealthLINK, a consumer Website for the state of Arkansas. A Distinguished Member of the Academy of Health Information Professionals (AHIP), Ryan has been awarded several honors including the 1978 MLA Murray Gottlieb Prize, the 1996 MLA South Central Chapter Distinguished Service Award, the 1998 National Library of Medicine Medical Informatics Fellowship, and induction as an MLA Fellow in 2006. Gary A. Freiburger, AHIP, Arizona Health Sciences Library, University of Arizona-Tucson, and Laurie L. Thompson, AHIP, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center-Dallas, will help shape the direction of the association by lending their talents and dedication to the MLA Board of Directors.

Also chosen to serve on the MLA Board is Paula Raimondo, AHIP, who will begin serving her three-year term as Chapter Council liaison in May 2007.

The role of the MLA Nominating Committee is to annually prepare, a slate of at least two nominees for president-elect and for each expiring board of director term. MLA's immediate past-president, M. J. Tooey, AHIP, will chair the incoming Nominating Committee. The newly elected members of the committee are as follows:

Restoring Service in the Montague St. Tube
Work continues to fully restore train service through to Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn
After days of operation, the pumps finally managed to draw down the millions of gallons of water that had surged in from New York Bay during Hurricane Sandy. In all, eight of the MTA's under river subway tunnels experienced significant flooding but none as severely as the Montague Tube, which had water from track to ceiling for a distance of nearly a mile.
The Montague Tube carries Line trains between Manhattan and Brooklyn and since service has been suspended between 34th Street and Jay Street-MetroTech, thousands of riders daily have been shifted over to the already crowded Lexington Avenue Line. Right now, trains from Queens travel only as far south as 34th Street with through service to Brooklyn expected by late December.
While workers are busy on the escalators, a significant task also lies ahead before trains can once again use the Montague Tube. More than 300 signal relays were damaged, along with the central instrument house, track switches, stop motors, wiring. Debris had been washed into the tube and the force of the inrushing water from the 14-foot surge that hit lower Manhattan was enough to bend metal.
Along with the Rockaway Line across Jamaica Bay and Broad Channel, lower Manhattan was the hardest hit in the system with South Ferry expected to be out for several months. MTA New York City Transit has come a long way and our workers should be proud of their accomplishments but it isn't surprising that no one will be completely satisfied until service is operating just as it did prior to Sandy's arrival.

Morris Ted Phillips Candice Ruud David Schwartz Nicholas Spangler Joshua Stewart Brittany Wait Patrick WhittleBelle Terre praised for its handling of finances
Belle Terre earned high marks from state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's office in an audit of the village's finances.
The comptroller examined records from June 1, 2011, to Dec. 31, 2012, and found the village government carefully inspected claims for payment.
"Generally, the Board conducts a thorough and deliberate audit of claims before payments are authorized to ensure that Village funds are being spent efficiently," according to a report issued June 7 by Andrew A. SanFilippo, executive deputy comptroller. "Generally, we found that claims were presented in a uniform and organized manner and properly recorded and supported with appropriate documentation. The Board members initialed all claims to signify their review and approval for payment, and the Mayor signed all abstracts. Our examination revealed only minor deficiencies, which we discussed with Village officials."

Mayor Ted Lucki said the main reason for the robust financial health of the village, which has an annual budget of about $1 million, is the scrutiny of each claim.
"We look at every bill and all the trustees sign every bill, and they realize, 'Why do we spend $800 on filling a pothole?' So the next time it comes around, we check out the pothole," he said. "It's more tedious but it's more effective."

The city of Camden could seek damages for any delays caused by a legal action attempting to prevent the use of hospitality taxes to construct a proposed sports complex on the former site of Boylan-Haven-Mather Academy.
As has become custom in recent months, Camden City Council conducted a work session just ahead of its Feb. 14 meeting. In addition to getting a handle on that evening's regular meeting, council received two important briefings.
A unanimous vote to seek a $36.5 million loan to construct a S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC)-mandated wastewater treatment plant and a split vote to award a more than $34 million construction bid to build the plant were the highlights of one of the longest Camden City Council meetings on record Tuesday evening. The work session began at 5 p.m.; the regular meeting ended after 9:15 p.m.
Gardening on a grand scale was a hallmark of Camden from the 1840s through the 1940s. Be a time traveler and imagine going to see a 32-acre garden wonderland with long sand paths passing under manicured green arches of cherry laurel, cassena, and holly. Along your walk you pass shrubs carefully clipped to make topiary shapes. Take in the scent of the Cherokee Rose hedges which encircle the whole garden. Linger in the shade of the grand magnolias and Cedars of Lebanon. Picture a terraced walkway with green arches above your head at each set of steps. At the bottom ...
First reading of an ordinance to place a referendum question on construction of a recreation facility on the November general election ballot will be on the table at Camden City Council's meeting Tuesday.
(The Chronicle-Independent recently asked Liz Gillard, Camden urban forester, to share an update based on the state of trees in Camden when she came onboard nearly a year and a half ago and where things stand today.)
The National Park Service (NPS) recently announced the extension of a deadline for those wishing to comment on a recent draft study concerning the proposed Southern Campaign of the Revolution National Heritage Area (NHA).
Several hundred people drifted in small groups from display to display around Camden High School's cafeteria Tuesday night. Local government and school district officials, members of the Camden Police Department, business men and women, history proponents and Camden-area residents studied and discussed options for a proposed truck route and a "road diet" for a section of Broad Street.
The city of Camden will hold a referendum asking voters to choose if they wish to move forward with a proposed sports complex and if it should be run by a nonprofit organization such as the YMCA of Columbia. The measure will be placed before Camden voters during November's general election. The decision came in the latter portion of a lengthy Camden City Council meeting Tuesday morning that ended with a woman demanding to be heard who had to be asked to leave the chamber.
The city of Camden has received good news regarding financing for its proposed sports complex.
Miss Camden and Miss Camden Teen will be joined by city employees Robbie Truesdale and Mark Proctor in special recognitions at Camden City Council's Tuesday morning meeting.
Members of the Camden Lions Club, in keeping with the international club president's commitment to plant 1 million trees worldwide, did their part in December, planting several trees in Boykin Park.
Herbert Farber and the Camden Committee for Responsible Government Inc. (CCRG) filed an action at the Kershaw County Courthouse Wednesday seeking a permanent injunction against the city of Camden. The injunction would stop the city from using hospitality tax funds to construct a proposed sports complex that could be run by the YMCA of Columbia.
Camden's having an S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT) approved, enforceable truck route is another step closer to becoming a reality.
Camden City Council member Alfred Mae Drakeford has been appointed to the National League of Cities' (NLC) 2012 Human Development Steering Committee. The Human Development committee is responsible for developing policy positions on issues involving social services, children and learning, poverty and income support, employment and workforce development, equal opportunity, Social Security and seniors, individuals with disabilities, public health care, mental health parity and immigration reform.
Camden City Council will confer special recognition on four Camden Police Department (CPD) officers during its meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. There will be no afternoon work session.
On Saturday, March 22, the Camden Coin club will hold its annual Spring Coin Show at the Camden Recreation Department on Hwy. #1 South in Camden.

Lacrosse (French: crosse) is a team sport, originally played by the indigenous peoples of North America, using a small rubber ball and a long-shafted stick called a crosse or lacrosse stick. When originally played by native peoples it was known by several different names, depending on the tribe, including "bagataway" or "the little brother of war" in the Inca language, and "tewaarathon" in the Mohawk language.[1] The boys/men's version of the game is a contact sport, which requires padding such as shoulder pads, gloves, helmets, elbow pads, cup, and sometimes rib guards. The girls/women's game limits stick contact and prohibits body contact, requiring little protective equipment. However as of 2003, women's lacrosse required the wearing of a protective face mask, commonly referred to as the "goggle," in the United States, while it remains an optional piece of protective equipment in the international version of the game.[2] Also, women usually wear kilts as a uniform in comparison to men who wear full upper body protection with jerseys and simple athletic wear on the bottom.
Offensively, the objective of the game is to score by shooting the ball into an opponent's goal, using the lacrosse stick to catch, carry, and pass the ball to do so. Defensively, the objective is to keep the opposing team from scoring and to gain the ball through the use of stick checking and body contact or positioning.
The sport has four major types: men's field lacrosse, women's lacrosse, box lacrosse and intercrosse. The Federation of International Lacrosse runs the World Championships. The European Lacrosse Federation runs the European Lacrosse Championships.
Lacrosse, today a relatively popular team sport in North America, may have developed as early as AD 1100 among indigenous peoples on the continent.[3][4] By the seventeenth century, it was well-established. It was documented by Jesuit missionary priests in the territory of present-day Canada. The game has undergone many modifications since that time.
In the traditional aboriginal Canadian version, each team consisted of about 100 to 1,000 men on a field that stretched from about 500 meters to 3 kilometers long.[5] These lacrosse games lasted from sunup to sundown for two to three days straight. These games were played as part of ceremonial ritual, a kind of symbolic warfare, to give thanks to the Creator or Master.[6]
Lacrosse played a significant role in the community and religious life of tribes across the continent for many years. Early lacrosse was characterized by deep spiritual involvement, befitting the spirit of combat in which it was undertaken. Those who took part did so in the role of warriors, with the goal of bringing glory and honor to themselves and their tribes.[7] The game was said to be played "for the Creator" or was referred to as "The Creator's Game."
The French Jesuit missionary Jean de Brébeuf saw Iroquois tribesmen play the game during 1637 in present-day New York. He was the first European to write about the game.[8] He called it la crosse ("the stick"). Some say the name originated from the French term for field hockey, le jeu de la crosse.[9] Others suggest that it was named after the crosier, a staff carried by bishops that bears a similarity to the sticks used in the sport.[10]
In 1856, William George Beers, a Canadian dentist, founded the Montreal Lacrosse Club. In 1867, Beers codified the game, shortening the length of each game and reducing the number of players to 12 per team.[5] The first game played under Beers' rules was at Upper Canada College in 1867; they lost to the Toronto Cricket Club by a score of 3–1. By the 20th century, teams in high schools, colleges, and universities in Canada and the United States began playing the game.
Lacrosse was contested for medals in the 1904 and 1908 Olympics with teams from Canada, the United States, and Great Britain. It was contested as a demonstration sport in the 1928 and 1932 Olympics. On each occasion, a playoff was held in the United States to determine what team would go to the Olympics; each time the playoffs were won by the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays of the university in Baltimore, Maryland.[11]
In the United States, lacrosse during the 1900s was primarily a regional sport centered around the East Coast, including states such as the following: Connecticut, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. In the last half of the 20th century, the sport has continued growth west of this region, including the Midwest, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as the West of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, California, Oregon, and Washington.
At the highest amateur level, it is represented by the collegiate NCAA Division I in the United States.[12] The first collegiate lacrosse program was established by New York University in 1877.[13] Nearly 100 years later, the 1971 tournament was the first Men's Lacrosse Championship sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).[14]
In other countries, the sport is also played at a high level on the amateur level by the Australian Lacrosse League, the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association, and club lacrosse leagues internationally.[15]
In 1998, a number of national lacrosse organizations in the United States merged to create US Lacrosse, a unified national governing body for men's and women's lacrosse in the United States. Headquartered in Baltimore, US Lacrosse seeks to provide a leadership role in virtually every aspect of the game.
In the summer of 2001, a men's professional field lacrosse league, known as Major League Lacrosse (MLL), was inaugurated in the United States. Initially starting with three teams, the MLL has grown to a current total of eight clubs located in major metropolitan areas in the United States. On July 4, 2008, Major League Lacrosse set the professional lacrosse attendance record: 20,116 fans attended a game at Invesco Field in Denver, Colorado.[12]
Box lacrosse[edit]
Up until the 1930s, all lacrosse was played on large fields outdoors. The owners of Canadian hockey arenas invented a reduced-size version of the game, called box lacrosse, as a means to make more profit from their arena investments, and because severe winter weather in many areas limits outdoor play.
Since 1985, when the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association (CUFLA) began operating a collegiate men's league, field lacrosse has witnessed a revival in Canada. There are now 12 varsity teams. In 1994, Canada declared lacrosse its national summer sport in the National Sports Act (Bill C-212).
In 1987, a men's professional box lacrosse league was started, called the Eagle Pro Box Lacrosse League. This league changed its name to the Major Indoor Lacrosse League, then later to the National Lacrosse League. It grew to encompass men's lacrosse clubs in 14 cities throughout the United States and Canada.
Types of play[edit]
Field lacrosse[edit]
There are ten players on each team: three attackers, three midfielders, three defenders and a goalie.
Each player carries a lacrosse stick (or crosse). A "short crosse" (or "short stick") measures between 40 inches (1.0 m) and 42 inches (1.1 m) long (head and shaft together) and is typically used by attackers or midfielders. A maximum of four players per team may carry a "long crosse" (sometimes called "long pole", "long stick" or "d-pole") which is 52 inches (1.3 m) to 72 inches (1.8 m) long; typically used by defenders or midfielders.
The head of the crosse on both long and short crosses must be 6.5 inches (17 cm) or larger at its widest point. The throat of the lacrosse head for college must be at least 3 inches wide. For high school play, there is no minimum width at its narrowest point; the only provision is that the ball must roll out unimpeded. The designated goalkeeper is allowed to have a stick from 40 inches (1.0 m) to 72 inches (1.8 m) long and the head of a goalkeeper's crosse may measure up to 12 inches (30 cm) wide, significantly larger than field players' heads, to assist in blocking shots.[16][17][18]
The field of play is 110 yards (100 m) long and 60 yards (55 m) wide. The goals are 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 feet (1.8 m). The goal sits inside a circular "crease", measuring 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter.[16][17][18] Each offensive and defensive area is surrounded by a "restraining box." Each quarter, and after each goal scored, play is restarted with a face-off. During a face-off, two players lay their stick horizontally next to the ball, head of the stick inches from the ball and the butt-end pointing down the midfield line.[17] Face-off-men scrap for the ball, often by "clamping" it under their stick and flicking it out to their teammates. Attackers and defenders cannot cross their "restraining line" until one player from the midfield takes possession of the ball or the ball crosses the restraining line.[17] If a member of one team touches the ball and it travels outside of the playing area, play is restarted by awarding possession to the opposing team. During play, teams may substitute players in and out freely. Sometimes this is referred to as "on the fly" substitution. Substitution must occur within the designated exchange area in order to be legal.[16][17][18]
For most penalties, the offending player is sent to the penalty box, which is located between each team's bench. His team must play without the player for a designated amount of time based upon the foul. (Most penalties are "releasable", that is, the penalty ends when a goal is scored by the non-offending team.) Technical fouls (such as offsides and holding) result in either a turnover or a player's suspension of 30 seconds, while personal fouls are generally penalized one minute. (Some infractions, such as playing with a stick that does not meet the specifications of the designated level of play, may serve non-releasable penalties of up to three minutes).[19] The team that has taken the penalty is said to be playing man down, while the other team is on the man up. Teams will use various lacrosse strategies to attack and defend while a player is being penalized. Offsides is penalized by a 30-second penalty. It occurs when there are more than 7 players on the defensive side of the field (three midfielders/three defensemen/one goalkeeper), or more than 6 players from one team on the offensive side of the field (three midfielders/three attack). The zones are separated by the midfield line.[16][17][18]
Lacrosse at the Olympics was a medal-earning sport in the 1904 and 1908 Summer Olympics.[20][21][22] Lacrosse was a demonstration sport in the 1928 and 1932 Summer Olympics, as well as at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[23][24][25][26]
The men's professional Major League Lacrosse has used different field lacrosse rules from the international, college, and high school programs. With intentions to increase scoring, the league employed a sixty-second shot clock and a two–point goal for shots taken outside a designated perimeter.[27] In 2007, the MLL was bolstered by a ten-year television contract with ESPN.[28]
Box lacrosse[edit]
Box lacrosse is played by teams of six on a hockey rink where the ice has been removed or covered by artificial turf, or in an indoor soccer or lacrosse field The enclosed playing area is called a box, in contrast to the open playing field of the traditional game.[29] This version of the game was introduced in the 1930s to promote business for hockey arenas,[30] and within several years had nearly supplanted field lacrosse in Canada.[31]
Box lacrosse is played at the highest level by the Senior A divisions of the Canadian Lacrosse Association and the National Lacrosse League (NLL). The National Lacrosse League employs some minor rule changes from the Canadien Lacrosse Association (CLA) rules. Notably, the games are played during the winter.[29] The NLL games consist of four fifteen-minute quarters compared with three periods of twenty minutes each (similar to ice hockey) in CLA games (multiple 15-minute OT periods for tied games, until whoever scores first). NLL players may use only sticks with hollow shafts, while CLA permits solid wooden sticks.:[32][33])
The goals in box lacrosse are much smaller than field lacrosse, traditionally 4 feet (1.2 m) wide by 4 feet (1.2 m) tall in box, and 4.6 feet (1.4 m) wide by 4 feet (1.2 m) tall in the NLL.[32] Also, the goaltender wears much more protective padding,[29] including a massive chest protector and armguard combination known as "uppers", large shin guards known as leg pads (both of which must follow strict measurement guidelines), and ice hockey-style masks or lacrosse helmets.[34] Also, at the professional level, box lacrosse goaltenders often use traditional wooden sticks outside of the NLL, which does not allow wooden sticks. This makes Box Lacrosse faster and rougher than the traditional Field Lacrosse.
The style of the game is quick, accelerated by the close confines of the floor and a shot clock. The shot clock requires the attacking team to take a shot on goal within 30 seconds of gaining possession of the ball. In addition, players must advance the ball from their own defensive end to the offensive side of the floor within 10 seconds.[29]
Box lacrosse is also a much more physical game. Since cross checking is legal in box lacrosse, players wear rib pads in addition to the shoulder and elbow pads that field lacrosse players wear. Box lacrosse players wear a different type of helmet as well, a hockey helmet with a box lacrosse cage.
For most penalties, the offending player is sent to the penalty box and his team has to play without him (thus lacking one player) for a short amount of time. Most penalties last for two minutes, unless a five-minute major penalty has been assessed. What separates box lacrosse (and ice hockey) from other sports is that at the top levels of professional and junior lacrosse, a five-minute major penalty is given and the players are not ejected for participating in a fight.[35]
Women's lacrosse[edit]
The rules of women's lacrosse differ significantly from men's lacrosse, most notably by equipment and the degree of allowable physical contact.[36] Women's lacrosse rules also differ significantly between the US and all other countries, who play by the Federation of International Lacrosse, or FIL, rules. Women's lacrosse does not promote physical contact, primarily because the only protective equipment worn for this sport is a mouth guard sometimes and face guard (mandatory in the United States, optional internationally) and thin gloves. Stick checking (with several rules applied), and not body checking as in men's lacrosse, is permitted in the women's game, but only in certain levels of play. Sometimes checking can lead to body checking; while this is still not permitted in a women's game, some referees will allow limited body checking. Women's lacrosse also does not allow players to have a pocket, or loose net, on the lacrosse stick.
The first modern women's lacrosse game was held at St Leonards School in Scotland in 1890. It was introduced by the school's headmistress Louisa Lumsden after a visit to Quebec, where she saw it played.[37] The first women's lacrosse team in the United States was established at Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Maryland in 1926. Men's and women's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules, with no protective equipment, until the mid-1930s.
Both the number of players on the field, as well as the general set up of the field, differ from men's lacrosse. In women's lacrosse there are 4 defensive players, 3 mid-fielders, 4 attack players and 1 goalie per team, as opposed to men's lacrosse, where there are only 3 mid-fielders. Also, women players must abide by certain boundaries that do not exist in men's play. The three specific boundaries are the 8-meter "fan" in front of the goal (11 meters internationally), the 12-meter (15 meters internationally) half circle that surrounds the 8-meter half circle, and the draw circle in the center of the field, which is used for the women's version of "face-offs," known as "draws". The goal circle is also positioned slightly closer to the end line in women's lacrosse, compared to men's. In women's lacrosse on either the offensive or defensive end, the players are not able to step inside the goal circle for any reason, except when the goalkeeper has stepped out of the circle and one defensive player has stepped in as her deputy; this becomes a "goal-circle violation". However, at the women's collegiate level, a new rule has been established that allows defenders to pass through the goal circle.
Internationally, the game is commonly played in British girls' independent schools. While a minor sport in Australia, it is played to a very high standard at the elite level. Women's lacrosse has seen significant growth in Europe since the beginning of the 21st century, particularly in Germany, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. Japan entered its first team into the World Cup in 1993, and South Korea followed suit in 2009. In 2012, the first Israeli international team competed in the European Championships in Amsterdam.
The Australia national squad won the 2005 Women's Lacrosse World Cup. The 2009 Women's World Cup was played in Prague, Czech Republic, won by the United States, and the 2013 World Cup was played in Oshawa, Canada, again won by the United States.[38]
College lacrosse[edit]
Lacrosse in the United States is played at the collegiate level in both the club and sanctioned team sport. There are currently 87 and 3/4 NCAA sanctioned Division I men's lacrosse teams, 46 Division II men's lacrosse teams, and 189 Division III men's lacrosse teams. There are also currently 91 Division I women's lacrosse teams, 57 Division II women's lacrosse Teams, and 201 Division III women's lacrosse teams. 209 collegiate men's club teams compete at the Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association level, including most major universities in the United States. Another 107 schools have club teams in the National College Lacrosse League.
The first U. S. intercollegiate game was played on November 22, 1877 between New York University and Manhattan College. Lacrosse had been introduced in upstate New York in the 1860s. Lacrosse was further introduced to the Baltimore area in the 1890s. These two areas continue to be the hotbeds of college lacrosse in the U.S. The first intercollegiate lacrosse tournament was held in 1881, with Harvard beating Princeton, 3-0, in the championship game.
The NCAA men's Lacrosse Division I in 1971, when Cornell took the first championship over Maryland, 12–6. Johns Hopkins has 9 championships with three consecutive wins from 1978 to 1980. The other two teams that have three consecutive wins are Syracuse from 1988 to 1990 and Princeton from 1996 to 1998. Syracuse also holds the NCAA record of championships with 11, the last occurring in 2009. In 2013 Duke beat Syracuse to claim the NCAA Division I Championship in Philadelphia.[39] The Division I national championship tournament draws one of the largest crowds of any Division I NCAA sport.
The NCAA men's Lacrosse Division III is growing at a much faster rate than Division I. There are currently 208 Division III teams playing in 25 different conferences in 2013,[40] compared to 130 teams in 2005. Stevenson University was the 2013 Division III national champion.
There is also the MCLA. This is Mens Club Lacrosse Association. It is played at schools that do not have a NCAA lacrosse team. The 2012 Division I MCLA champion was Colorado State University and Division II was won by the University of St. Thomas.[41]
NCAA women's Lacrosse Division I began play in 1982. The University of Maryland, College Park has traditionally dominated the women's intercollegiate play, producing many head coaches across the country and many U.S. national team players. The Terrapins won seven consecutive NCAA championships, from 1995 through 2001. Princeton University's women's teams have made it to the final game seven times since 1993 and have won three NCAA titles, in 1993, 2002, and 2003. In recent years, Northwestern University has become a force, winning the national championship from 2005 through 2009.[42] Maryland ended Northwestern's streak by defeating the Wildcats in the 2010 final, however Northwestern has since won the 2011 and 2012 national titles.[43]
Major League Lacrosse[edit]
Major League Lacrosse (MLL) is a semi-professional lacrosse league founded in 1999 in the United States that showcases the world's best players. The season consists of 56 games running from April to August. MLL uses standard lacrosse rules with several exceptions, such as a 16-yard 2-point line and a 60-second shot clock.[44] Regular season play began in 2001 with 6 teams, with plans to expand to 19 teams. The MLL currently has 8 teams: Boston, Annapolis, New York City, Rochester, Denver, Columbus, Charlotte, and Palm Beach County (formerly Hamilton).
International lacrosse[edit]
Lacrosse has been played for the most part in Canada and the United States, with small but dedicated lacrosse communities in the United Kingdom and Australia. Recently, however, lacrosse has begun to flourish at an international level, with teams being established particularly in Europe and east Asia.
With lacrosse not having been an official Olympic sport since 1908, the pinnacle of international lacrosse competition consists of the quadrennial World Championships. Begun in 1968, world championships began as a four-team invitational tournament sponsored by the International Lacross Federation. Until 1986, lacrosse world championships had been contested only by the US, Canada, England, and Australia. Scotland and Wales had teams competing in the women's edition. They are now held for lacrosse at senior men, senior women, under 19 men and under 19 women levels.
With the expansion of the game internationally, the 2006 Men's World Championship was contested by 21 countries and the Iroquois Nationals, representing the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. They are the only Native American/First Nations team to compete internationally. The 2009 Women's World Cup was competed for by 16 nations.
In 2003, the first World Indoor Lacrosse Championship was contested by six nations at four sites in Ontario. Canada won the championship in a final game against the Iroquois Nationals, 21-4. The 2007 WILC was held in Halifax from May 14–20, and also won by Canada. Competition included the Iroquois Nationals and teams from Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Ireland, Scotland, and the United States.
The World Lacrosse Championships have been dominated by the United States, particularly in the men's game. Its only world championship game losses at either level was in the 1978 final and 2006 final, both to Canada. The USA has won 9 of the 11 senior men's and all six under-19 men's tournaments to date.
In the women's game, Australia has provided stiffer competition, having won 6 of 14 games against the USA at senior world championships, including one draw. The USA has won 6 of the 8 senior women's, and 2 of the 3 under-19 women's tournaments to date, with the other world championships won by Australia.
The Iroquois Nationals are a team with members representing the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. The team was admitted to the International Lacrosse Federation (ILF) in 1990. It is the only First Nations team sanctioned to compete in any sport internationally. The Nationals placed fourth in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 World Lacrosse Championships. In 2008, the Iroquois were admitted as the Haudenosunee Nation to the International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations (IFWLA), since merged with the FIL (see below).
Federation of International Lacrosse[edit]
One obstacle to the international development of lacrosse had been separate governing bodies for the men's and women's versions of the sport. Men's lacrosse was governed by ILF and the women's version by IFWLA. In August 2008, after four years of negotiation, the two bodies merged to form a single unified body, the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL). All championships previously operated by the ILF and IFWLA were taken over by the FIL. The FIL hosted the 2010 World Lacrosse Championship in Manchester, England, between 15 July to 24 July 2010.[45] The 2014 World Lacrosse Championship will be held in Denver, Colorado, US.
Internationally, as of 2013, a total of 47 members belong to the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL). Only the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Iroquois Nationals have finished in the top three places at the World Lacrosse Championships.
Internationally, the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships are held every four years and are also sponsored by the FIL. Only eight nations have competed so far. Canada, the Iroquois Nationals and the United States have finished in the most coveted 1st, 2nd and 3rd places at these events.
European Lacrosse Foundation[edit]
The next largest international field lacrosse competition are the European Lacrosse Championships, held for both men and women's teams. Since 1995, the European Lacrosse Federation (ELF) has been running the European Championships. Before 2001 they held the Championships annually, but that year the ELF changed the format to every four years, between the World Championships. Before 2004, only seven nations had ever participated.
In 2004 a record number of countries participated, fielding 12 men's and 6 women's teams, making it the largest international lacrosse event of the year. In 2008 the European Lacrosse Championships were held in Lahti, Finland, with 18 competing countries. England placed first with the Netherlands and Germany placing second and third, respectively. The most recent ELF Championships were held in Amsterdam in 2012. England was victorious over Ireland in the championship game, and Sweden took third place.

Niedermeyer building honored as it's up for possible demolition
The Niedermeyer apartment building was recognized as one of the six Most Notable Properties in Columbia at a Columbia Historic Preservation Commission gala last night as the building faces possible demolition. St. Louis Developer Fred Hinshaw wants to build a student-housing complex in place of this oldest building in downtown Columbia.
At the gala, Preservation Commission Chairman Brian Treece said that the Niedermeyer building has been a staple in Columbia's history for more than 170 years.
Previous Niedermeyer Owner Sabra Meyer said she is trying to come to terms with the future of the building, but is staying positive about a solution to benefit both sides of this operation.
"I just have more or less accepted it, but hoping that some of the ideas I've heard about might work – something that would help Mr. Hinshaw and yet save the building," Meyer said.
However, the Historic Preservation Commission is optimistic about the future of the building. The commission approved an application last week for the Fredrick apartment building, which is a Niedermeyer sister property that will be restored as loft apartments.
"The historic preservation does work," Treece said. "Properties don't need to be threatened and we can continue to improve downtown Columbia while embracing our history."
The gala was the only scheduled event honoring and supporting the Niedermeyer building so far, but Treece said to expect more in the future. Right now, the commission has no power to stop a demolition based on historic interests due to current zoning ordinances.

Chrome tops IE, Firefox in Acid3 test
In the popular Acid3 web standards test, Google's Chrome beats out the latest stable builds of Firefox and Internet Explorer.
Even though Google has the stable builds edged out, we have to remember that Chrome is still in development, where it is topped by a number of other "unstable," development builds, including Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 (85), Opera (91), and Safari 4 (100). It is interesting that the Safari 4 Developer Preview performs so much better than Chrome, given that they are both built on Apple's WebKit framework.
Whenever a new browser or an update to a browser is released, one of the first things that techies tend to look at is how it fares on the Acid test. The latest iteration of the test, Acid3, is the hardest yet and no "stable" browser builds have achieved a 100 out of 100 on the test, although the Safari 4 Developer Preview has.
Passing the Acid3 test is an important goal for browser developers and it's great to see that Chrome is performing so well on its first attempt.
A reader, Benjamin, writes in saying that under Vista SP1, Chrome shows scores ranging from 74 to 79 on the Acid3 test. Running it again right now, the test showed a score of a 79. Some of the initial variability could have been due to the servers for the Acid3 test being hammered as a result of Chrome's release.

Mobile on arrival: Bargain rental car offers from SWISS in partnership with Avis and Europcar.
When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford," said Samuel Johnson, scholar and man of letters. This multifaceted city has long been a global financial and commercial centre, a cultural melting pot and a magnet for eccentrics and creative of all kinds. Trends today are largely being set in the city's East End, which has seen a regeneration in recent years, not least through the facilities being built for this summer's Olympics.Author: Adrian von Moos; photographers: Christoph Kern & Annette Fischer
A visit to Fortnum & Mason is a highlight of any London trip. The store is especially famed for its range of quality foods.
Sustainability is the hallmark of the 2012 Olympic Games. The Olympic Stadium holds 80,000 spectators but can be readily reconfigured for 60,000.

Top 20 Favorite Movies of the Decade Buzz's 20 Favorite Movies of the Decade by Becky Kirsch 12/09/09 140 Reactions 23 Shares Print 1 19 2 1 0 As we come to the close of another year, I've been counting down the best in entertainment from over the past 12 months. But let's not forget that we're also celebrating the end of the decade, so you know what that means — a recap of the top music, movies, and TV from 2000-2009! There have been so many creative, smart, and fun choices to keep me busy that it's hard to decide which ones deserve top honors. So beginning with films, here are my favorites, in no particular order. (If you don't agree — or if you'd like to submit your own top five, 10, or 20 — you can do so in the Buzz Best of the Decade Group)! The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is the movie that put Judd Apatow on the map and showcased his comedy formula — a little raunchy, a little bit sweet. Since then he's gone on to Knocked Up and Superbad among others, but my heart will always have a soft spot for Andy, the electronics salesman with sexual shortcomings. I still cackle whenever I think of the chest waxing scene where he yells "Kelly Clarkson!" 1 / 20 The Dark Knight (2008) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Batman Begins gave the whole franchise a new, more sinister tone, but it was The Dark Knight that packed a wallop to make us forget about its predecessors. (That means you, Batman & Robin.) Much of that is owed to the late Heath Ledger as the murderous Joker, reciting the chilling tag line "Why so serious?" with a Cheshire-cat-like grin. Superhero films have a reputation for being vapid, but The Dark Knight and Ledger's Oscar-winning performance prove otherwise. 2 / 20 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jim Carrey is usually married to silly slapstick, but for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind he joins Kate Winslet, as a man who tries to have his memory erased to forget a broken relationship. Not only does the film make us think, but it's also gorgeous to watch, thanks to director Michel Gondry's imaginative, surrealist settings. This film truly delivers the whole package. 3 / 20 The Harry Potter Series (2001-2009) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before Twilight mania hit a deafening pitch, Harry Potter was the movie fad du jour, turning a great book series into an equally fantastic, well-done film franchise (a difficult feat in Hollywood). Harry and his Hogwarts mates appealed to children and grownups alike, and even eight years after the first installment's debut, it's roaring on with anticipation already surging for next year's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1. 4 / 20 High Fidelity (2000) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 John Cusack plays against the schmoopy romantic archetype he made famous to portray a record-store owner holding court among his music-snob comrades. The dialogue is fantastic, Jack Black is a bright spot, and though Cusack's character may be a cynic, the movie's theme of idiosyncrasies in relationships is universal. 6 / 20 Juno (2007) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Juno is a film for underdogs, which is perhaps why it's so beloved. You have an unlikely heroine — a pregnant high-schooler with a sharp tongue — paired with an even more unusual screenwriter by Hollywood standards (a female former stripper with the pen name Diablo Cody). Under the direction of Jason Reitman, Juno is a sweet tale about growing up with a wicked sense of humor at its core. Thanks to it, you probably now know words like "homeskillet." 6 / 20 Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the second part of Quentin Tarantino's epic masterpiece, we learn more about Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) as she sets off on a quest that sounds as simple as the film's title. As she navigates an array of antagonists using some serious martial arts skills, Beatrix emerges as one of the most kick-ass heroines of the decade. Remember the scene where she punches her way out of a coffin? 7 / 20 Little Miss Sunshine (2006) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A dark comedy with a tender side, Little Miss Sunshine follows the Hoovers, a dysfunctional family on a journey to get their young counterpart Olive into a beauty pageant. Sunshine was the little Sundance film that could and did — despite the attachment of two first-time directors who struggled five years to get it made, it went on to earn four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. 8 / 20 The Lord of the Rings Trilogy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A film series that defines the term "epic," The Lord of the Rings trilogy gave us a story of friendship set against director Peter Jackson's mind-blowing battle scenes. All three installments were nominated for Oscars, and the final entry — The Return of the King — took the win. But one of my favorite reasons to watch it? The tested-but-true bromance between Frodo and his loyal ally, Sam. 9 / 20 Lost in Translation (2003) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sofia Coppola's little tale of an unlikely friendship takes us to Tokyo, where Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) and Bob (Bill Murray) bond over their mutual loneliness. It's a relationship that could be considered inappropriate, but the slow and tender way they unite is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. The film didn't go unnoticed by critics, and it snagged an Oscar for best original screenplay. 11 / 20 Mean Girls (2004) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 OK, so Mean Girls didn't win any Oscars, but what would my retrospective be without at least one guilty pleasure? Sharply written by scribe Tina Fey, Mean Girls serves up a tongue-in-cheek look at the world of high school girls that feels fresher than many of the teen comedies before it — or since. I still can't pass it up when it's on TV. 11 / 20 Memento (2000) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A complex psychological thriller to wrap your head around, Memento centers around Leonard (Guy Pearce), a man searching for his wife's killer while dealing with memory loss. But what sets it apart from its predecessors is that it puts a spin on the formula, telling two separate stories — one moving forward in time and the other traveling backwards. 12 / 20 Ocean's 11 (2001) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It isn't every day that you see so much star-wattage assembled as a big-screen ensemble. George Clooney and his cronies (Brad Pitt and Matt Damon) updated the classic Rat Pack film and ended up with an audience-pleasing heist series that's clever, slick, and above all — just a ton of fun to watch. 13 / 20 The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Wes Anderson wrote the book on quirk, and his 2001 dramedy about an eccentric family is full of it. A worthy successor to Rushmore, Tenenbaums even earned Anderson an Oscar nomination for screenwriting. With a cast that includes Gene Hackman, Owen and Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, and Gwyneth Paltrow, the movie's offbeat humor makes it perfect for repeated viewing. 14 / 20 The Departed (2006) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This was the decade that Martin Scorsese took Leonardo DiCaprio under his wing, placing him in three of his Oscar-nominated films: Gangs of New York, The Aviator, and The Departed. But of these, The Departed is decidedly my favorite, a gripping, high-tension tale of the underbelly of crime in Boston that pits DiCaprio against a ferocious Jack Nicholson. Great acting, great direction, great story. 15 / 20 Brokeback Mountain (2005) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It took many a jab from critics, but anyone who saw director Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain in theaters can't deny its impact as one of the first big studio movies with A-list actors portraying a homosexual romance. I love it for its understated approach, addressing the subject in a way that feels moving, raw, and real. 16 / 20 Wall-E (2008) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pixar taught us that animated movies aren't just for kids, bringing us a bounty of delightful films in the past 10 years that includes Monsters, Inc., The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, and Up. I love them all, but Wall-E, the quiet tale of a shy but hardworking robot that finds love in an apocalyptic future, has the biggest place in my heart. Wall-E + Eve 4-ever. 17 / 20 Amelie (2001) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Foreign-language films often struggle to earn a following in the states, but the French Amelie won many a fan early in the decade. Beautifully constructed with gorgeous, saturated colors and an inventive storyline, the story follows Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou), a loner who longs for companionship. It's her quirky charm that gives the film its feel-good warmth and makes her one of the more memorable heroines we've had in recent years. 18 / 20 The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Will Smith has obviously taken on a slew of films this decade, but I like The Pursuit of Happyness even more than his blockbusters. Based on a true story, Smith plays a salesman struggling to create a future for himself and his son (played by his real-life son Jaden). I'm always a sucker for a moving rags-to-riches story, and Smith turned in a particularly strong performance here. 19 / 20 Almost Famous (2000) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 My favorite Cameron Crowe film, Almost Famous soars with the casting of two young unknowns (Patrick Fugit and Kate Hudson) in the lead roles. It's easy to get as caught up in the rock 'n' roll lifestyle as William, whose character is based on an adolescent Crowe's experiences as a music journalist, but it's still full of heart and charm. 20 / 20 1 19 2 1 0 Read More Oceans 11Best Of The DecadeBest Of 2009Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless MindThe Royal TenenbaumsThe 40-Year-Old VirginAmelieBuzz SlideshowWall-EKill BillHigh FidelityMementoMean GirlsThe Dark KnightLost In TranslationLord Of The RingsJunoHarry PotterAlmost FamousPursuit Of HappynessLittle Miss SunshineThe DepartedBrokeback Mountain Get a Personalized Celebrity & Entertainment Newsletter!

No country for old men? Benjamin Button? Borat and broke back mountain? Being gay doesn't give you license to say what movies are good. Don't see any of these movies unless you need to go to sleep early tonight. 2 years You do all realize that this list is someone's opinion? If you don't like the list, make your own... 3 years 1. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button (2008) 2. No Country For Old Men (2007) 3. The Departed (2006) 4. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) 5. Crash (2005) 6. Elephant (2003) 7.

O Brother Where Art Thou (2000) 4 years You people sure have a lot of time on your hands. What's your top 10 genocides of the decade? mine begins with the unfettered abortion that is Harry Potter. 4 years 40-Year-Virgin? Really? Wow, Carell is more over-rated then I thought. Otherwise not a bad list. Harry Potter, of course made it there on hype alone - don't get me wrong, the movies aren't bad, especially for movies that are based on a book (most of those suck), but to say that you couldn't find a movie that was better in the last 10 years... Right... Oh, and PS - the decade isn't over until the end of 2010. Unless of course you're ok with calling the first 9 years a "decade"... 4 years How can any list not including "Downfall" be credible? 4 years Sorry, but your list is crap... 4 years well, i would maybe push myself to go with half the movies here. but yes, Requiem for a dream and Crash as others before me pointed out, cant afford to be left out. Also,among the ones i've seen, i thought 'The last king of Scotland', 'Million Dollar Baby' and 'A beautiful mind' were splendid. definitely missed out other worthy ones which i havent seen too. I think a revision is due. 4 years Let's see... Mainly popular blockbusters I realize (with one or two exceptions), but these are the movies that gave me the greatest joy as a film-goer and that I've been able to watch over and over since. Sure sign of a "best" list for me! 1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (sorry, just can't split them up) 2. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 3. Brokeback Mountain 4. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (under-appreciated jewel of the decade!) 5. Star Trek 6. Pan's Labyrinth 7. Iron Man 8. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl 9. Avatar 10-16. All 7 Pixar films (impossible to choose just one!) 17-20. Harry Potter Series (well, 3 - 6 anyway) 4 years Re: calendars - Since our standard calendar began with Year One (NOT the movie! ;^)) rather than Year Zero, the First Century was not completed until the end of Year 101. With that confusing start, our 21st century did not start until 1/1/2001. The first decade of the 21st century won't be completed until midnight 12/31/2010. HOWEVER, the convention of grouping decades by like second digit (e.g. 90s, 80s, etc.) has no relationship to the correct calendar decade, so this coming New Year's celebration will correctly end the '00s, or "double-aughts" (like buckshot), as I like to call 'em! ;^) Happy New Year! 4 years WHY does everyone keep referring to the last decade when it won't be over until the END of 2010???!??!?!?!?!? 4 years Reprise. 4 years Any list that doesn't include Mulholland Drive is a farce by definition. 4 years But, if the decade started Jan. 2000 and ends Jan 2011, that would be eleven, not ten years. So, no, the decade ends Jan 2010....anyway, I would not put mean girls on there at all, and I definitely would include No Country for Old Men. American Psycho needs to be on there too, in my opinion, but no Batman Begins. District 9, as well! And I definitely agree with Old Boy. 4 years Stupid people - The decade isn't over until the end of 2010! 4 years They released a really superficial list. These have all been mentioned already, but here's some more appropriate titles...obviously I don't think that they should all be on a favorites list, as it is totally subjective, but I would have liked to have seen some of these instead of mediocre blockbusters like the Harry Potter series, the 40 Year Old Virgin, or Mean Girls (especially instead of Mean Girls...). City of God Pan's Labyrinth Mulholland Drive The Diving Bell And The Butterfly No Country For Old Men Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Children of Men The Pianist Oldboy Let the Right One In Requiem For a Dream Cache I would throw in "The Fall" and "The Proposition" as well, but that's my personal taste. Also, I saw someone throwing hate at Lost In Translation. To each his own, but that movie is a gem if I've ever seen one. Seeing "Mean Girls" in a top of the decade list has really hurt my conscience. Then again this list means jack and squat in the grand scheme of how the public will view this last decade's films, so I can only hope it will be different than how this article sees things. 4 years Finding Nemo was way better than Wall-E IMO.... 4 years Buzz, as much as I love these recaps, clicking thru slideshows is really annoying! I end up reading much less stuff than I'd like, I'm not sure this is what you guys were going for... 4 years Avatar?? This movie is in top 20 of the decade only for trolls. Its script is at a level apt for teenagers and any movie watched in 3D offers similar excitement. Oh and I forgot to include "Oldboy" - an exceptional cinematic feast/beast. 4 years No Avatar. This guy is a troll. sailing 4 years The one film I disagree with on the list is The Departed. The film is overrated and it's winning the Oscar was just a cancellation prize for it's director. sailing 4 years The one film I disagree with on the list is The Departed.

That was the best movie of the decade and it's not on here? What is this, a list of the movies that made the most money? 4 years That may be the worst list I have ever seen. Ocean's 11, Mean Girls, Brokeback Mountain, Pursuit of Happiness HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 4 years Oh, and anonymous, comment 22, you're wrong. The new millennium began in 2001. The century began in 2001. But the decade began in 2000. Think about it. You're saying that 2000 was in "the 90's". And 1990 would then be in "the 80's". And I was born in 1980. So I guess according to you I was born in the 70's, eh? Sounds pretty absurd when I say it like that.
