If you're a Draft nut and really want the scoop on the up and coming players, there are a ton of sites out there that will give you information.
The folks over at fanspeak.com have provided us with a day-by-day view of rising and falling players that you may be interested in taking a peek at.
Here's how the site promos its coverage: "Steve Shoup of Fanspeak.com was credentialed once again for this year's Senior Bowl. Steve will be reporting on practice, the players, notes from the press conference, and – of course – the Senior Bowl game."
I thought it interesting and they have given me permission to throw their links up for all our fans here at lombardiave.com.
Take a look … and you can also use this as a complementary guide and reference if you've been watching the coverage of the upcoming game over on the NFL Network.

Lock rotation does not work in Nexus 10 Youtube app ?
When I use right pulldown menu to select Lock rotation , it works in app like Chrome; however, Lock rotation does not work in Youtube app meaning the app still switches landscape/portrait based on the orientation of the device.
Do you experience this issue too ? - 01-03-2013, 10:55 AM #2
Re: Lock rotation does not work in Nexus 10 Youtube app ?
If it is locked in portrait before launching the app, channel feed remains locked in portrait until I select a video to play at which point, within the app, orientation lock seems to be undone. I say within the app becuas IF I select recent apps it shows then locked in portrait. The same thing happens if i start locked in landscaped [with recent apps locked in landscape]

Re: Lock rotation does not work in Nexus 10 Youtube app ?
I would say it's a bug but I would think that is a bug with the YouTube app because both are made by Google so it seems to me Google has chosen to remove the lock screen feature from the YouTube app. Which I guess makes it a feature

Re: Lock rotation does not work in Nexus 10 Youtube app ?
Try an app called perfect app protector. It does many things, and most importantly it has an option for single app rotation lock. I only use it for youtube rotation lock. It also has password protection for apps, but I don't use that. I tried a few other rotation lock apps which ended up messing with the behaviour of other apps, and I ended up un installing them. This app was great because you can choose to edit the rotation settings of one app only (or as many as you like) leaving the other apps unharmed (unlike the global rotation lock apps). The only problem with perfect app protector right now is a bug that kills the rotation lock if you minimize youtube then come back to it again. I commented it about it in the play store review though, and I'm hopeful they will fix it in an update. If you find a similar/better app, let me know
Edit: Actually, after using this app for a while, I found it to be very glitchy, and full of bugs. They really need to clean this app up, in theory it's the perfect app.. So anyway, I un installed it, and I'm back to square 1. All we really need is a rotation lock app that works on the apps we choose only, rather than work globally. I found a couple other apps that have the same youtube rotation problem.. One of them is video editor, forgot what the other one was. Ughh.. So annoying really.Last edited by Engwar Elf; 03-03-2013 at 06:36 PM.

1. Happy New Year! Welcome 2013!
2. So a new year, means new parking restrictions. Framingham operates on an odd-even parking ban. As 2013 is an odd year, you can only park overnight on the odd side of the street.
3. In Framingham, there is no trash collection today. The Framingham libraries and the Memorial Building are closed.
4. The Quadrantid meteor shower is named for an extinct constellation, but the shooting stars that seem to sprout from it still arrive yearly, and the opening of the 2013 show will begin overnight Jan. 1 into Jan. 2.
5. What was the best thing of 2012? Tell us in the comments

About 10 years ago HBO did a documentary series called Legendary Nights and I thought they did an excellent job. They used fights such as SRL vs Hearns, Tyson vs Douglass, DLH vs Trinand, and a few others. Pryor vs Arguello was always my favorite fight growing up. So I figured Id post this for the younger members on this site that have never heard of an Alexis Arguello or an Arron Pryor.

Hypocrite liberals. Attacking Romney for past business deals while their retirement funds are growing because of the profits.
Romney is worse than the evil tycoon, Gordon Gekko in Wall Street, who said, "WASPS love animals, but hate people." Romney "loves to fire people," leave them destitute, and thinks 47 percent of Americans are worthless. But strapping his dog to the roof of his car for 12 hours shows he hates animals, too.
One candidate wants to spend more money to create even more government jobs and cut taxes, also. The other wants to revamp the tax code to give more tax breaks and then hope to grow our way out. ... The end result of both is an exponentially growing number currently at $16 trillion. How long will this insanity continue before no one honors our government credit card? Tick. Tick. Tick.
Sometimes it seems the two things our kids learn the most about at college are how to become atheists and alcoholics.
I agree with the reader saying that the wealthy stash their money in foreign bank accounts to avoid taxes. That's proof trickle-down economics of giving the wealthy tax breaks so they'll hire people doesn't work and isn't what the rich do with their tax savings.
To the person writing in not to vote for Mitt Romney when he believes the faith he practices believes in multiple gods. Well, you don't know anything about Mormons first of all, and why would anybody vote Obama when he believes everything against the Bible including abortions, same-sex marriages? Everything Obama stands for is against Jesus Christ.
Tomblin and Manchin claim they are fighting Obama and EPA to help the workingman. However, their true cause is to help the coal companies. They are trying to help the coal companies beat laws that were passed 10 years ago.
I can't believe there is talk of new tax cuts or extension of old tax cuts. We are in a big hole. Stop digging!

Opened in 1973, Kauffman Stadium is a baseball specific stadium which was built during a time when multi-purpose venues were en vogue. Kauffman Stadium is part of the Truman Sports Complex and shares land with Arrowhead Stadium, home of the NFL Kansas City Chiefs. Named Royals Stadium when it opened, it was renamed in honor of the Royals founding owner, Ewing Kauffman, in 1993. The park is best known for the water fountains beyond the outfield wall which were prominent when the park opened and remain today. Prior to 1995, the artificial turf was replaced with natural grass. Kauffman Stadium has been host to a Nolan Ryan no-hitter, a Royals World Series championship in 1985, and two all-star games, the latest coming in 2012.
A major renovation of Kauffman Stadium began in 2007 and came with a price tag of $250 million when completed prior to the 2009 season. Among the most prominent improvements were the installation of a high definition scoreboard, �Crown Vision�, an outfield concourse, kid�s area, and wider concourses. When Crown Vision was initially installed, it was the largest high-definition LED display in the world. It has since been surpassed by the board at Safeco Field. The renovations and other features make Kauffman Stadium an attractive place to take in a game.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
There is something for everyone at Kauffman Stadium. Concessions are everywhere and seeing all that is offered takes a decent amount of time. Food ranges from your ballpark basics to more elaborate items.
Among the unique items is the brisket-acho. For $9.50 you get nachos smothered in sliced brisket, cheesy corn, baked beans, cole slaw, and bbq sauce. The newest craze seems to be the helmet nachos ($14.50). You get a full-sized batting helmet full of nachos with various toppings of your choice. Kansas City jumped on board and they are very popular with the fans.
As it is Kansas City, I went with the half rack of ribs for $14.00. They were quite tasty albeit a little on the small side.
The pulled pork mac 'n jack sausage is a pepper jack sausage with topped with pulled pork, mac and cheese, and bacon crumblings. For $8.00 you can get a specialty hot dog. You can go with anything from the Kansas City BBQ dog to the Texas dog (chili, onions, and Fritos) to the traditional Chicago dog to the New York dog with sauerkraut. Chicken gyros also looked tasty.
As for drinks, Pepsi products are the soda of choice here. Bottles of Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, and Root Beer are $4.75. For soda, your best bet is probably the large souvenir cup. For $7.50 you get the large cup and it comes with a free refill.
For the adults, there are plenty of drink options. From wine ($7.00) to souvenir margaritas ($12.00) to mixed drinks ($9.00), there is no shortage of choices. If you prefer to stay in your seat, you can buy beer from the vendors for $8.50. Budweiser, Miller Lite, and Bud Light are among the options the vendors offer. If you choose to head to the concourse, your options increase greatly. Behind the center field video board is Leinenkugel's Leinie Lodge for the Leinenkugel fans. In the concourse behind home plate is Boulevard Pub. There you can get the regular domestics along with Stella Artois and various microbrews. Depending upon the size and container, beer will cost anywhere from $6.50 for a regular domestic draft up to $11.00 for a souvenir domestic draft.
For a baseball stadium that screams baseball, there is so much more to do than watch the game. There is a large kid's area that stretches from left field to center field beyond the outfield concourse. Batting cages, mini golf, a whiffle ball field, playground equipment, and a carousel are among the choices kids have. Some of the choices are free while others have a cost. Additionally, there is a concessions area that caters strictly to kids in the kid's area.
The left field concourse also houses the must-see Royals Hall of Fame. Upon entrance to the building, a man dressed in old-time baseball garb is giving a history of baseball in Kansas City. As you enter the display area, bats, uniforms, and other memorabilia of Royals greats line the walls and display cases. Also included is a history of stadiums and baseball in Kansas City as well as uniforms and memorabilia from other great players to come through Kansas City with other major league teams.
All the seats in the stadium give a great view of the field, the video screen, and the fountains. The views are tremendous and add to the enjoyment of the game. All the ancillary activity does not take away from the experience of watching the baseball game. When you are in your seat, the stadium is built to isolate you from all activities in the outfield concourse and the focus is strictly baseball.
The numerous activities, things to see, and a great presentation of the game, make the atmosphere very tough to beat.
The immediate surrounding area around Kauffman Stadium is nothing to write home about. For lodging there are numerous choices. Among them, a Drury Inn, Holiday Inn, and Four Points by Sheraton are all within a mile or two of the stadium.
Being this is Kansas City, the two barbecue kings are Arthur Bryant's and Gates. Gates is closer to the stadium and is about two miles away on highway 40. Having heard good things about Gates, we gave it a try and were not disappointed. A couple pointers; be prepared to order ASAP and remember to order sides. Food is prepared when ordered so lines stack up when busy and you could be tenth in line but they will still take your order. When ordering, most dishes do not come with sides. For instance, when you order chicken, you get chicken. After learning that, I went with a mixed plate of ham and turkey with BBQ beans. The food is tremendous and a trip to Gates is worth the quick learning curve you must have. Arthur Bryant's also came highly recommended and is about seven miles away from the stadium.
About six miles away is the crown jewel of Kansas City and an absolute must for any baseball fan. A visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is worth the trip to Kansas City all by itself. Admission is $10, a bargain for the trip through a historical period that changed the game. No pictures are allowed to be taken in the museum. On display are old uniforms, player contracts, posters promoting games, and so much more, it would be impossible to mention everything. A huge display of autographed baseballs of players who appeared in the leagues are also on display. Leave yourself an hour to get through it but if time is not an issue, much more could be spent.
There are a couple things very noticeable about the Kansas City fans. First, they love their baseball team. The fans are engaged in the game from the first pitch and appear more knowledgeable about the ebbs and flows of a game than fans at some other major league parks. For a team that has struggled so much over quite a few years, it is a credit to the stadium, the team, and the fans that Kauffman Stadium is such a fun experience.
Fans in Kansas City are also pleasantly conscious of not impeding others from enjoying the game. Fans do their best to stay out of each other's way and even help when the occasion is called for. The friendliness of the fans toward each other was very noticeable and added to the relaxed atmosphere at the game.
Kauffman Stadium is very easy to get to. Located just off I-70, it can be accessed by taking either the East Stadium Drive or Blue Ridge Cutoff exits.
There is an enormous amount of parking available and is $10 per car. The Royals do a good job having plenty of people directing traffic and the wait to get out of the parking lot after the game is very reasonable.
Concourses inside the stadium are wide and easy to maneuver. All the sections are clearly marked so finding a seat shouldn't be a problem. Additionally, there are plenty of ushers to assist with any questions you may have. Restrooms are located throughout the stadium. They are clean and sufficient for the crowd so standing in a line isn't an issue.
Handicap access is not an issue as the elevators, ramps to upper decks, and restrooms have a lot of room.
With the advent of "dynamic pricing" you can get a ticket for anywhere from $10 and up, depending upon the day of the week and opponent. Couple that with parking and you are looking at a minimum of $20 to see the game. With the scores of food choices, all priced along the lines of the other stadiums, the money is a reasonable investment for the enjoyment received while attending a game at Kauffman Stadium.
At least one extra point for being in the same town as the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. I can't stress enough how impressive and moving the museum is.
The view of the high definition video board and surrounding fountains get another point. It is amazing.
The game day employees are absolutely tremendous. Everyone I came in contact with was pleasant as could be, answered any questions I had, and genuinely appeared to be doing anything they could to help fans enjoy their experience at Kauffman Stadium.
In left field, there are statues of George Brett, Dick Howser, and Frank White, the three Royals who have their numbers retired.
Each game, the Royals honor a Veteran by giving four tickets and having an in-game tribute for the individual. It's a touching tribute that gets a great response from the crowd. Coupled with that is the Buck O'Neil Legacy Seat in which the Royals honor a person that embodies the spirit of Buck O'Neil.
Kauffman Stadium is fantastic. The video board and the fountain are worth seeing independent of the fact there is a baseball game going on. The game day employees enhance the experience and there is plenty to do for the kids but it does not take away from the baseball experience. A trip to Kauffman Stadium is a must for any baseball fan.
Was not thrilled with my visit here in May, 2010
Hall of Fame Experience: The Hall of Fame is a wonderful idea. I love reading and seeing baseball history. And there was plenty of that in the Royals HOF. However, there was way too much audio interference while strolling through the museum. I'd be reading one display and then hearing a video clip (or three) from the ones behind or next to me. It caused me to lose concentration and not enjoy it as I think I would have.
Tailgating: Tailgating was allowed. The parking lot looked like a pig sty after the game. Apparently, Royals fans don't know how to walk to the many dumpsters provided and discard their trash. Instead, they left it right in the parking lot. This put a very big damper to my visit here.
Bud Light Party Deck: Had to wait 15 min for someone to even acknowledge me. And then, there was a poor choice of beer selection. I left. I did find a better beer stand on the concourse with the choices I like.

Going to Kansas City
We really enjoyed our visit to Kauffman Stadium.Parking was a breeze,seeing how we arrived early to take in the Outfield Experience.The kids really loved the Experience they have everything from a 5 hole mini-golf course to your basic pitching and hitting games.They even have a little field in which the kids can take some swings. Everything out there costs a dollar.For adults the Royals Hall of Fame is a must see.You start off with a 15 to 20 minute video, sitting in whats supposed to be the Royals dugout.Then you can see Cy Young awards to the World Series Trophy, and everything in between.My favorite was the #5 made of baseballs in relation to the number of George Bretts hits. Thats alot of baseballs.
Neighborhood: There really is not much to do around the stadium.But if you head down to 18th and Vine you can check out the Negro Leagues Museum.I have to say I was a little disappointed in it. I was expecting alot more,still worth it though.Plus your only a couple of blocks from Arthur Bryant's.If your a college basketball fan you have to head downtown to the Sprint Center for the College Basketball Experience(CBE).It's full of interactive stuff along with the Hall of Fame.

You must be a Stadium Journey member to post a comment.
Inaugurated on April 10, 1973, Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium is the longtime home of the Kansas City Royals. Simply known as "The K" or "Kauffman" to regulars, it is located at the Truman Sports Complex along with the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium.
Though the Royals have arguably been Major League Baseball's most downtrodden franchise since their lone World Series win in 1985, one would hardly know it given Kauffman's tremendous combination of originality and amenities new and old. Already one of the most unique venues in baseball, The K underwent a massive face-lift completed in time for Opening Day 2009. Given the fantastic new additions to a ballpark that already carried a solid reputation, it's no surprise Kansas City was selected to host July's 2012 MLB All-Star Game.
Led by an abnormally large group of talented youngsters, the Royals look poised for a long-awaited playoff berth within the near future. Their coming success should be met with open arms by fans across the country, as a venue like Kauffman Stadium deserves not just an All-Star Game, but a national spotlight for a wealth of October baseball.
Any quality trip to Kauffman Stadium requires a stop at one of the city's many Barbecue restaurants; in the vicinity of the K the options only get sweeter.
If you're coming from the southern portion of the Metro area, one should consider hitting up LC's Bar-B-Q at 5800 Blue Parkway. Their self-described tangy home style sauce provides great flavor for any of your meaty favorites. Ribs, beef, pork, turkey�?�you can't go wrong.
While LC's is great, Arthur Bryant's at 1727 Brooklyn Avenue is other-worldly. Evidence of Politicians, athletes and actors being hosted at the restaurant is draped on the walls. Any restaurant this historic deserves respect, and when you taste the meats from their aged smoker you'll recognize why. Again, order anything on the menu but be prepared for tremendous portion.
After pre-game preparations, it's time to see the new K; in the midst of a midlife crisis, Kauffman Stadium had a facelift. While many of these butcher jobs are obvious patchworks, this overhaul resulted in seamless rejuvenation. Perks like a sports bar, hall-of-fame and expanded vending options were added. An entire "Outfield Experience" was constructed in a former dead-space area; it is equipped with standing room views within the famous outfield fountains, new seating, kids play area with a mini-Kauffman Stadium to play on, a tremendous HD video board, picnic area sporting famous Kansas City barbecue, and bars in both left and right field. If all of that isn't enough, the new K boasts mini-HDTV's by concession stands, new monuments and more frequent and cleaner - albeit more cumbersome - restrooms throughout.
Among all these new perks, the two biggest additions to the stadium were the Hall-of-Fame in left field and Rivals Sports Bar in right field. The Hall-of-Fame boasts several uniquely Kansas City pieces of memorabilia like George Brett's "pine tar incident" bat, Brett Saberhagen's hat from his no-hitter and the 1985 World Series Trophy.
Rivals Sports Bar boasts a full menu bar from its view in right - above the unique bullpen the stadium has possessed since its inception. The lower level is open to the public every game and the upper deck is available for large parties - when it is not rented the public is free to use it. If you are lucky enough to snag a table in Rivals, you are guaranteed to have a good view of the ballgame. Additionally, the pre and post game shows are anchored from there
Kauffman has always been home of one of the most beautiful fields in baseball. Even when the Astroturf was rolled out, head groundskeeper George Toma kept it neatly swept. Once the grass came back to Kansas City, the K was immediately upgraded. Unfortunately, what followed was the plastering of tacky sponsor signs around the outfield wall reminiscent of a Minor League ballpark. That, as much as anything else, made this recent revamping necessary. Since advertising is essential in this modern sports age, several video boards were installed that flash advertisements and game information while the number of billboards and banners has been reduced allowing attention to refocus on the striking field.
My visit to Kauffman was about 3 years ago, and my most vivid memories are of Arthur Bryant's BBQ, and not the ballpark. That doesn't mean its a bad place to see a game, it just means there isn't anything that sticks with you. Maybe it's just a good excuse to go back again.
On business in the area and went to catch a game. Walk up ticket was dirt cheap, $20 and 7 rows up behind home plate. Great concessions and atmospehere, especially at its age. Only problem is the place is surrounded by a whole bunch of nothing. All in all, a surprisingly good stadium and experience.
Much like Miller Park in Milwaukee, tailgating is a fun thing before attending a game here. The parking lots were well kept with ample refuse bins.
The fountains certainly lived up to the billing and the crown atop the scoreboard was made of individual rectangles that looked really cool in the light. The concourses were wide and spotless. Overall, this was the cleanest MLB park I've seen.

Center for Research Excellence
The Neuroscience Group at The University of South Dakota was awarded an $8 million research grant in 2000 from the National Institutes of Health, National Center for Research Resources, to establish a Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in the area of Neural Mechanisms of Adaptive Behavior. This grant was renewed for $9 million until 2010.Overview
The Neuroscience Group, comprised primarily of Sanford School of Medicine and USD Department of Biology researchers, works on several interrelated research projects that are designed to address the major focus of the Center. The main theme is to study the structural reorganization of neural pathways that result in adaptive behaviors in response to novel experiences or disease states. Functional reorganization of neural circuits is fundamental to processes that occur during learning and memory, development, and in the central nervous system's response to stress and anxiety states or injury such as occurs during stroke or Alzheimer's disease.Core Facilities
The Biological Imaging Core Facility is housed within the Sanford School of Medicine and is maintained by our COBRE funding. This imaging facility is equipped with an Olympus FluoView 1000 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope. The microscope has six laser lines (LD 405 nm, multi-line argon at 458 nm, 488 nm and 515 nm, green HeNe, red HeNe) for simultaneous imaging of multiple fluorophores. It also has software for 3D reconstructions, FRET and FRAP.
The facility also houses a Bio-Rad VersaDoc 5000 Imaging System. This facility was recently expanded to include state-of-the-art conventional fluorescence imaging equipment. This includes a Zeiss Axiovert 200 inverted microscope for tissue culture work. This microscope is motorized, has an Axiocam camera system, a heated stage, multichannel fluorescence, an Apotome confocal-like slider and software for time lapse and 3-D imaging. A second upright fluorescence microscope, a Zeiss Axio Imager, is for standard work using tissue sections. It is also equipped for multifluorescence and a camera system for data acquisition. The facility is staffed by a full-time technician, Dr. Frances Day, who will aid researchers with data acquisition and image analysis.
We have established a Behavioral Core Facility that provides essential equipment to examine behaviors in a variety of animal models, which can then be related to neuropsychological and neurophysiological processes. The Core consists of modular equipment from Noldus to test anxiety, learning and memory, locomotion, sleep, stress and reward related behaviors. The Facility includes video tracking hardware designed for tasks such as the watermaze, elevated plus maze, and 8 arm radial maze. The Behavioral Core is housed in Laboratory Animal Services (LAS) in the School of Medicine and is supervised by Drs. Gina Forster and Michael Watt. ore facilities include a Biological Imaging Core Facility housed within the Sanford School of Medicine. This imaging facility is equipped primarily with an Olympus FluoView 500 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope. The confocal microscope has three laser lines for simultaneous imaging of multiple fluophores. The facility also houses computers for image analysis including deconvolution and is staffed by a full-time technician.

SearchAll Refuges
The National Wildlife Refuge System, within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, manages a national network of lands and waters set aside to conserve America's fish, wildlife, and plants.
Following the establishment of Florida's Pelican Island as the first National Wildlife Refuge in 1903, the System has grown to encompass more than 150 million acres within more than 550 Refuges, many Wetland Management Districts, and thousands of Waterfowl Production Areas.
More than 41 million people visit National Wildlife Refuges each year to participate in activities such as hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, and photography, and to attend environmental education and interpretive programs. Their spending generates almost $1.7 billion in sales and close to 27,000 jobs for regional economies.
Wildlife Refuges are home to more than 700 species of birds, 220 species of mammals, 250 reptile and amphibian species, and more than 200 species of fish. Fifty-nine Refuges have been established with a primary purpose of conserving threatened or endangered species.
There is at least one National Wildlife Refuge in every state, and one within an hour's drive of most major cities—offering people a welcoming, safe, and accessible place to nourish their spirits and reconnect to the land.

Pac-12 picks: 14 hours of football Saturday
The Salt Lake Tribune
Published: September 13, 2013 04:18PM
Updated: September 13, 2013 03:37PM
For the first time this season, every Pac-12 team is in action on the same day. Saturday's schedule serves up 14 continuous hours of Pac-12 play, including one intra-conference matchup.
Stanford at Army, 10 a.m. MDT, CBS Sports Network
Coach David Shaw is enough of a historian to make sure the Cardinal appreciate the visit to West Point. Stanford 35, Army 14.
UCLA at Nebraska, 10 a.m. MDT, ABC
The Cornhuskers' defense will be motivated after Brett Hundley and the UCLA offense shredded that proud group last September, but the Bruins should still have enough firepower. UCLA 35, Nebraska 28.
Fresno State at Colorado, 12:05 p.m. MDT, Pac-12 Mountain
Speaking of motivation, the Buffaloes remember being embarrassed in Fresno last year when they trailed 35-0 after one quarter. This game will be more competitive. Fresno State 31, Colorado 24.
Boston College at USC, 1 p.m. MDT, Pac-12 Networks
USC coach Lane Kiffin joked that the guy who was calling the plays in the Trojans' first two games has been fired. We'll see if quarterback Cody Kessler enables USC to pass for more than 54 yards. USC 24, BC 7.
Tennessee at Oregon, 1:30 p.m. MDT, ABC
Chip Kelly's old-and-new offense is clicking from coast to coast. Oregon 45, Tennessee 24.
Washington vs. Illinois (Chicago), 4 p.m. MDT, Big Ten Network
The Huskies get to play at historic Soldier Field, coming off a bye. Washington 31, Ilinois 17.
Southern Utah at Washington State, 4:30 p.m. MDT, Pac-12 Networks
Southern Utah was competitive at California last season, but WSU has an improved defense. Washington State 38, SUU 17.
Ohio State at California, 5 p.m. MDT, Fox
This will be a tough test for Cal freshman quarterback Jared Goff, who has passed for nearly 1,000 yards in two games, including his debut vs. Northwestern of the Big Ten. Whether or not OSU's Braxton Miller plays, Cal's defense likely will be overwhelmed. OSU 42, Cal 24.
Oregon State at Utah, 8 p.m. MDT, Fox Sports 1
This will be a good gauge of the Utes' offensive improvement, but the real issue is whether OSU's patchwork offensive line can protect Sean Mannion, Utah 27, OSU 21.
Wisconsin at Arizona State, 8:30 p.m. MDT, ESPN
There's just not evidence to make a great case for or against either team here, considering their previous level of opposition. The home field should make the difference. ASU 28, Wisconsin 24.
UTSA at Arizona, 8:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks
The Wildcats conclude the Pac-12's worst nonconference schedule. Arizona 45, UTSA 21.

I am writing SoP to apply for MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Because English is not my native language so I need your help to check (idea, grammar & spelling error).
I really appreciate all your suggestion.
Thank you.
My passion for computer dates back to when I received my first computer as a gift from my parents in high school. Ever since then I have been fascinated by the potential of computers and my overriding ambition has been to become an ICT expert in future. In order to achieve my desire, I followed a 5 year degree program in Engineer of Information Technology at University of A, one of the best universities for technology in Viet Nam. During my undergraduate years, I acquired a comprehensive knowledge in mathematics and data communication, and maintained a high level of performance throughout the program. Among all subjects, the courses related to communications and computer networks were particularly appealed me by the ideal that it could "flatten" the world and put people in touch without depending on their geographical locations. I received the bachelor degree in 200x with excellent grade and GPA … out of 10. My thesis, "….", was one branch of a project supported by the government. In this project, my work focused mainly on solving theoretical problems of techniques to synchronize multiple data streams and building an interactive learning system over distributed multimedia network. After nearly 09 months of hard work, the result of the project was approved by the Government Checking Committee and had been applied to build tele-learning system in many organizations since then. This project laid the foundation for my research career by giving me the exposure of scientific research skills and team coordination.
In addition to my educational background, I have gained a great deal of experience in diverse working environments. Throughout my professional career, I have always held highly responsible positions, from software team leader in a private company to the senior engineer in a big state-owned corporation and the Product Manager in a multi-national ICT corporation. By participating in various profession projects mainly in the area of communications and computer networks, I have been able to apply my knowledge gained from university into practice. It helped a lot in broadening my professional knowledge, acquiring valuable research experience together with outstanding leadership and management skills.
While my current profession has helped me develop a thorough insight into project handling, the industry environment that I am currently in cannot support my desire for research. I possess industry-hardened skills in communications and computer networks, but in order to become an expert in the field, I must build on these to achieve my goal of undertaking cutting-edge research in advanced computing, with specific reference to communications. Besides, being a responsible citizen of a developing country, I understand that the advancement of modern technology in Viet Nam still lags behind in many aspects. I am keen to contribute to the efforts of narrowing the gap between Viet Nam and rest of the world in respect of information and communications technology. All these objectives demand that I need better training than what is currently available in my home country. Fortunately, I found Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering program at University of xxx which is well aligned with my academic desires and aspirations. Your graduate program with its reputation of high quality education standards, distinguished faculty members and state-of-the-art facilities provides students with the perfect studying environment. I consider this the key to the successful completion of my graduate study. Further, the program offered by an international university like University of xxx would help me broaden my horizons. By meeting and interacting with students and professors from all over the world, I can easily build up my own collaborative network and knowledge base, which will be very useful in my future endeavors.
The master program is regarded as a valuable preparation for me to follow a PhD level on specific research area in communications and computer networks in future. After the completion of my graduate study, I am going back to Viet Nam to dedicate myself to the ICT field. It is likely that I will work as a lecturer or a researcher at a top university. However, I do not want to be bound exclusively to academic work. In recent years, although the ICT industry in Viet Nam has been expanding, much of the work just requires low levels of skill such as equipment assembly, software outsourcing and so forth. Instead of researching and producing by ourselves, Vietnamese companies still prefer to use existing knowledge and intellectual products from overseas. That is not sustainable development. On the other hand, while working in a multi-national ICT corporation, I have realized that if being trained and worked in the appropriate environment, we are fully able to accomplish the high-skilled, intellectual work which we used to think we could not. Therefore, I have been intrigued by the idea of establishing a research-oriented organization which will gather talented specialists engaging in R&D activities in the field of communications and computer networks. The organization aims to introduce high quality consultancy services to Vietnamese enterprises or state agencies, and thereby it will help promote the use of Vietnamese intellectual products. Additionally, this organization will be the place where I and my colleagues can exchange knowledge and learn from each other. I believe that the exposure and training I would receive from this proposed program at your esteemed university would equip me with confidence and skills to achieve this difficult task.

Like all the houses in the Cape Yamu development in Phuket, Thailand, this home, known as Villa 7, was designed to resemble a large Thai-style pavilion—but not too much. 'If you go with a full Thai style, that means you have to do nearly everything in wood, which suffers a lot in this kind of weather,' said Jean-Paul Cuvelier, the home's owner. Trimiti Group

The architect for the project was Jean-Michel Gathy, who is based in Malaysia. Philippe Starck handled the interiors. The house spans nearly 23,000 square feet and sits on more than an acre of land. Trimiti Group
2 of 10
Cape Yamu is on the east coast, which is the less developed side of Phuket. The house faces the Andaman Sea. 'I bought the land in the beginning because it was a great view. We believe in the east coast of Phuket because the west coast is overbuilt,' said Mr. Cuvelier, who was one of the development's investors. Trimiti Group

The three-story villa is decorated in a modern style, with the furniture purchased in nearby Chiang Mai and Bali, Indonesia. Trimiti Group

Mr. Cuvelier is based in Hong Kong and primarily rents out the property for long-term stays. Trimiti Group

There are five bedrooms and six bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms, as well as the home theater, are on the ground floor and open up to a large deck and an infinity pool. Trimiti Group

The grounds include a garden, pond and a Thai-style open-air pavilion at one end of the pool. A beach is located nearby. Trimiti Group

According to listing agent Adam Taugwalder of Private Office International, a high-end hotel is being built nearby that will raise the area's overall profile. 'Having the hotel there will just enhance the development,' the agent said of Cape Yamu. Trimiti Group

Mr. Cuvelier, who initially purchased the property as an investment, said he's ready to cash in. The home was listed last November for $7.5 million. The price includes the furnishings. Trimiti Group

As an undergraduate or graduate student, your academic progress is reviewed at the end of each spring semester. You must meet the following satisfactory academic progress (SAP) requirements to receive financial aid for any subsequent semester from any of the following federal or institutional aid programs:
Undergraduate |
Graduate |
Satisfactory academic progress has two-fold criteria. Students must have a certain cumulative grade point average (GPA) and must be progressing at an appropriate pace to graduate within the federal guidelines. A Student is considered to be making Satisfactory Academic Progress if the student meets the criteria below:
Year in College |
Required Number of Credits Completed |
Minimum Cumulative QPA |
1 | 21 | 1.5 |
2 | 42 | 2.0 |
3 | 64 | 2.0 |
4 | 86 | 2.0 |
5 | 108 | 2.0 |
6 | 128 | 2.0 |
** A student is no longer eligible for financial aid if attended full-time for 6 years.
Years in College |
Required Number of Credits Completed |
Minimum Cumulative QPA |
1 | 6 | 2.5 |
2 | 12 | 3.0 |
3 | 20 | 3.0 |
4 | 30 | 3.0 |
5 | 36 | 3.0 |
In the event that a student fails to meet any of the criteria as indicated in the Table the student will be considered to be making unsatisfactory academic progress. All Federal and Poly aid for future semesters is canceled.
All courses taken at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering are counted as attempted credits even if they have been taken again. If a student fails a course and then repeats it in a subsequent semester and receives a passing grade, the credits for the first time the course was taken are counted attempted but not passed and the credits for the second time are counted as attempted and passed.
All courses that a student has started at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering are counted as attempted. Courses from which a student has withdrawn count as attempted but not passed even though they do not figure into the calculation of the GPA.
All course work toward a particular degree program at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering is counted when determining whether a student is making satisfactory academic progress even if the student has taken time off from attending the university.
A student who is not making satisfactory academic progress may request a one-time waiver of these requirements. Waivers are granted only in cases where the student has demonstrated that the academic progress criteria were not met due to extraordinary circumstances occurring in the student's life, generally beyond his/her control.
An academic progress waiver may only be used once, so it's use should be carefully considered and timed. During the waiver period, you must make up your academic progress deficiency. If a waiver is granted, you will be given a maximum of 2 semesters to achieve satisfactory academic progress.
Please Note: Appeals to the Academic Affairs Department to continue studies do not automatically qualify you for a Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress Waiver. You must submit a separate appeal to each department.
A student who believes that he/she has grounds for an academic progress waiver for financial aid should send a letter with qualifying documentation to the Financial Aid Director.

Peek Inside: Vim and Vigor Salon
Step inside newly re-launched King Street salon Vim and Vigor, and the first thing you're likely to notice about the club-like interiors are walls strewn with what, from afar at least, appear to be undulating tendrils of hair. But take a few steps closer, and you'll find the swirling lines are actually mane-like fibers embedded in the walls. And thank the styling gods for that. The real deal could easily have had the unintended effect of creeping us out long before we were able to learn about the salon's all-star team of stylists, trendy Brazilian Blowout service and signature cutting technique.

Girl Meets Boy-ish Trend
The White and Black Jacket: Loving this look that can add a little bit of glamour to jeans, and make the perfect contrast with a brightly-hued skirt. Best of all it's a piece in your closet that can go from day to night!
Double Monk Straps – every bootie needs them! We've always seen them on men's footwear but now we can wear them too! Such a great look for ankle boots.
Chic Equestrian
The Equestrian Detail: It's all in the details and this season it is all about those equestrian bits on your favourite accessories like watches, belts, jewellery, handbags, and tops! Pair this trend with a luxurious autumn hue like cognac to give your outfit a polished, chic look. Update this look by wearing multiple necklace strands and stacking up those bangles.
Colour Crush
The Ox Blood/Bordeaux/ Burgundy/Maroon Madness: I just can't stop wearing my beautiful burgundy velvet Scarletts! It is a dark yet vibrant colour that epitomizes glamour and confidence. I love this colour and have already started incorporating it into my wardrobe! Nails, lipstick, shoes, skirts, tops, jeans, handbag… the possibilities are endless!
Luxurious in Leather
The Leather Skirt: Luxe leather style is perfection for fall. Too much of a bold look for you? Buy an A-line skirt rather than a pencil skirt or leather skinnies. It is a bit more playful, feminine and less dominatrix. But hey I would go for all three!
Brocade Beauty
Metallic Brocade: A detailed delicate fabric with threads of lurex intertwined to make this material feel ultra rich. Talk about recycled fashion! Brocade was huge in the 17th century and now it's back! I love this elegant metallic brocade on skirts, cropped pants and fitted jackets. Modernize the look with some metallic shoes and a solid coloured top! Too much to handle? Try an all black brocade pattern first! Subtle but definitely not boring!

Are Diet Sodas Harming Your Health?
Is Gulf Seafood Safe to Eat?
The Dangers of Alcohol Drinks with Caffeine
Is Your Chicken Too Fat?
One in six Americans will experience some kind of foodborne illness this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). If you're affected, you'll most likely have stomach upset, rash, headache, or diarrhea. But a minority will contract a more severe infection that can lead to protracted illness, disability and even death.
A recent report from the University of Florida's Emerging Pathogens Institute identifies causes of foodborne illness – 10 specific pathogen-food combinations that pose the greatest threat to public health. The research addresses short- and long-term costs, such as medical expenses and lost work time, as well as pain and suffering.
Hopefully, this report will allow public health agencies to better focus their prevention efforts on food contaminants that have the greatest impact on human health. Knowing the type of pathogen and its food source allows food-safety experts to customize their approach to prevention.
Considering the economic impact – over a billion dollars a year – and the quality of life significantly affected from each pathogen, stakes are high in getting preventive efforts just right. While economic impact is easily measured through dollars expended or lost, quality of life can be more difficult to assess.
Impact on quality of life is measured through something called "lost quality adjusted life years," or QALYs. Researchers add up total days of illness caused by a particular pathogen-food combination – including lost personal, family and work time from illness – and report the national total in terms of years.
For example, the top pathogen in terms of both cost and QALYs is campylobacter-contaminated poultry, costing $1.3 billion and 9,500 lost QALYs annually. The next three on the list are toxoplasma in pork at $1.2 billion and 4,500 lost QALYs; listeria in deli meats at $1.1 billion and 4,000 lost QALYs; and salmonella in poultry at $700 million and 3,600 lost QALYs.
Besides pork, toxoplasma-beef makes the top 10 list. Listeria appears on the list in combination with dairy products. Salmonella is also reported in combination with produce and complex (processed) foods. In all, the top 10 cost $8.6 billion, and perhaps most significantly, 33,600 lost QALYs each year.
Let's take a brief look at the top three – campylobacter-poultry, toxoplasma-pork and listeria-deli meats.
is an infectious disease caused by bacteria. Even a single drop of contaminated raw poultry juice can infect a human. Most cases are associated with eating raw or uncooked poultry. Outbreaks of campylobacter are often associated unpasteurized milk or contaminated water. Most infected people experience diarrhea, cramping, abdominal pain, and fever within 2-5 days of exposure. The illness can last a week and may be fatal for people with compromised immune systems.
is the leading cause of death attributed to foodborne illness in the U.S. More than 60 million adults and children carry the toxoplasmosis parasite, but few have symptoms because the immune system keeps it in check. It can affect most organ systems, including the brain, and flare in those with compromised immune systems. Transmission is from contaminated food, but also from animals (typically cats) and mother to child (congenital) transmission.
is a bacterial species that lives in soil and can easily contaminate cow udders and transfer into drinking milk if not pasteurized. Listeria is also dangerous, as it can grow at refrigerator temperatures without altering the smell or taste of food. Milk, cheese and deli meats, even if refrigerated, can infect humans if contaminated with listeria. Pregnant women and their fetuses, children and elderly are particularly vulnerable.
