Relaxation labeling processes have been widely used in many different domains including image processing, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence. They are iterative procedures that aim at reducing local ambiguities and achieving global consistency through a parallel exploitation of contextual information, which is quantitatively expressed in terms of a set of "compatibility coefficients." The problem of determining compatibility coefficients has received a considerable attention in the past and many heuristic, statistical-based methods have been suggested. In this paper, the authors propose a rather different viewpoint to solve this problem: they derive them attempting to optimize the performance of the relaxation algorithm over a sample of training data; no statistical interpretation is given: compatibility coefficients are simply interpreted as real numbers, for which performance is optimal. Experimental results over a novel application of relaxation are given, which prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — Walhill Farm, a casually elegant artisanal restaurant, is proud to commemorate its first year of service to the public of Batesville and the Greater Tristate area. Its "unique ambiance is a careful balance of luxury and down-home comforts that make it the perfect locale to schedule a business meeting, a reunion of old friends or an intimate date night," reports owner Peter Hillenbrand.
Live music is offered on Friday and Saturday nights.
The restaurant's dishes are almost entirely made using ingredients from Walhill's 250 acres of farmland. The produce is grown there, and the meat cuts, sausages and terrines are also prepared on site. "Anything that doesn't come directly from the farm itself is sourced from nearby businesses, which supports the local economy as well as ensures maximum palate-pleasing freshness," he points out.

[Update: Here it comes. Interesting that they are starting with the remarketing version first]
Recap: Identity is Facebook's not-so-secret weapon
In my previous post I covered why Facebook's mobile app is critical to their future, not because they have to monetize mobile eyeballs (as current analysts are fretting about), but because mobile is the gateway to recording and learning about someone's identity. It is the most important asset Facebook has. Not the audience (in terms of eyeballs anyway).
So how can Facebook actually use this to achieve the 30-50x growth in earnings that their current stock price implies? The first thing, I would say, is that they shouldn't worry about it. The best thing that Mark Zuckerberg's control of the company can offer, to the chagrin of its now new cohort of flaky retail investors, is a single minded focus on avoiding trying to push ads into every crevice of the desktop and mobile experience, and focus instead on removing ads and strengthening the depth of resemblance between a person's actual and virtual Facebook identity.

The Bulldogs are set to take on the Syracuse Crunch tonight at Copps Coliseum, the first of two meetings between the two clubs this week, with the second game taking place Friday night at the Bell Centre. The Crunch (5-1-1-1), AHL affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning, come into tonight's game after defeating the Adirondack Phantoms on Friday night. In the offseason, the Tampa Bay Lightning switched affiliations, moving their Calder Cup winning farm team, the Norfolk Admirals, to Syracuse. There are still 14 members of that championship team still with the Crunch today. Cory Conacher (6G, 6A) is tied for 3rd in league scoring with 12 points, 3 points behind Oilers defenseman Justin Schultz, despite having 2 games in hand on Schultz. Conacher is the reigning league MVP and Rookie of the Year.
The Bulldogs are looking to hold on to their undefeated regulation record on home ice, while the Crunch look to hold on to their undefeated in regulation on the road record. Blake Geoffrion (4 goals, 2 assists) and Brendan Gallagher (3 goals, 3 assists) currently lead the 'Dogs with six points. Robert Mayer has two wins in his past three starts, posting a 1.94 goals against average and a .934 save percentage. The 'Dogs rank sixth in the AHL in penalty killing with a 87.8% success rate.
The Bulldogs lines for tonight's game:
37 Patrick Holland - 18 Michael Bournival - 17 Brendan Gallagher
13 Steven Quailer - 40 Gabriel Dumont - 28 Aaron Palushaj
14 Michael Blunden (A) - 57 Blake Geoffrion - 23 Joonas Nattinen
11 Alain Berger - 47 Darryl Boyce (A) - 12 Zack Stortini
8 Nathan Beaulieu - 32 Frederic St-Denis (A)
5 Jarred Tinordi - 20 Antoine Corbin
4 Brendon Nash - 44 Morgan Ellis
29 Robert Mayer
39 Peter Delmas
- Brendon Nash is on a three-game point streak with three assists during that span
- Mike Blunden is on a four-game point streak with 4 points (2 goals, 2 assists) during that span
The Crunch lines for tonight's game:
Lineups are unavailable until game time.
- As previously mentioned, Corey Conacher is always a threat when on the ice.
- Syracuse has the 11th-best power play in the AHL, converting on 10 of its 50 chances, a 20% success rate. The ratio is better on the road (7-for-29, 24.1%) than at home (3-for-21, 14.3%).
You can watch tonight's game live on AHLLive ($), or listen to it here. Puck drop is 7:30 est.

Most critics liked Midler more than John Logan's bio-play, and some commented that Logan's piece wouldn't be much at all if not for the actress' presence.
"Tangy and funny as much of Mr. Logan's writing is, the play would hardly transmit the contact high it does without the presence of Ms. Midler," declared the Times. "As a performer she shares certain qualities associated with her subject: an ability to make the crassest vulgarities sound like crystalline repartee, an earthy glamour and a preening, kittenish imperiousness that's somehow warmly endearing. It is hard to imagine any other actor imbuing the character with the same seductive effervescence—or giving a feeling of perpetual motion to a 90-minute monologue without even standing up."
"The role fits Midler like a glove and she does not disappoint under Joe Mantello's direction," wrote AMNY. "And anyone who likes both Midler and gossip about 1970s Hollywood ought to have a good time. But in light of this rare opportunity to catch Midler onstage, a more substantial meal would have been nice instead of 90 minutes of pure dessert."
Others weren't so charitable. "Those who come knowing Midler but not Mengers will be disappointed by this weightless valedictory," wrote Bloomberg News, "for there's no swan, and no song."
The final, and splashiest, opening of the week—and the final opening of the 2012-13 Broadway season period, was Diana Paulus' circus-themed, acrobatics-strewn, jacked-up revival of Stephen Schwartz and Roger O. Hirson's '60s-flavored fable of self-discovery, Pippin.
Reviews were exultant—perhaps as ecstatic as those that greeted Matilda—but not without qualification. In its intensity, this was indeed "a Pippin for the 21st Century," wrote the Times. "Paulus has transformed the players into a troupe of circus performers, and it's a stroke of genius," said AP.
However, noted the Times, there was a price to pay for holding "a restless, sensation-hungry audience…Ms. Paulus' Pippin is often fun, but it's almost never stirring in the way her revival of Hair was… I would argue that in courting its audience, this Pippin is ultimately more cynical than Fosse's."
Hollywood Reporter noted, too, that "its audacious razzle-dazzle doesn't mask the limitations of the book. Still, fans of this much-loved show couldn't ask for a more energized production."
Still, for all the reservations, the general reception would be summarized by Time Out's double-edged, but enthusiastic declaration: "Ladies and gentlemen, step right up to the greatest show of the Broadway season… Here, in all its grand and dubious glory, is musical-theater showmanship at its best, a thrilling evening of art and craftiness spooked with ambivalence about the nature of entertainment."
All of which could be seen by the avalanche of flash and awe that is the crescendo of any Broadway season. That's entertainment. For better and for worse.

Suzanne Lorge is a singer and writer living in Manhattan.
In the third grade I decided to take up the violin. I'd have preferred the flute, but instruction in wind instruments didn't begin until fourth grade, and I couldn't wait that long. This early default introduction to string instruments gave me a solid foundation in ear training and sight reading, and I studied the violin for several years before shifting my focus to concentrate almost exclusively on voice. From then on I made the most of every singing opportunity that came my way, in bands, choruses, operas, musicals, and on recordings (backup or lead for Atlantic Records, Varese-Sarabande, and Fynsworth Alley). In college I started singing with pop and rock bands in the D.C. area, including two R&B rock bands with guitar-maker Paul Reed Smith. Around that time I was also writing pop and jazz reviews for the D.C. newspaper The Washington Times and covered the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Freddie Hubbard, and Dianne Schurr, among other noteworthy performers. I also coached privately with D.C. jazz vocalist Pam Bricker, whose gorgeous vocals with Thievery Corporation appear on the Grammy-winning soundtrack for the movie Garden State. Working as a fledgling singer in D.C. was an exhilarating initiation to the jazz world: I met many of the heavy-weight players and singers when they came through town--Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, D.C. native Shirley Horn, and Mark Murphy, to name a few. Since moving to New York City I've made my living as a singer (from Carnegie Hall to cruise ships to clubs) and as a writer/editor (from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal to magazines to corporate gigs). I hold a masters in Jazz Performance from NYU, where I studied improv/composition with Kenny Werner, Rich Shemaria, and Dave Pietro; voice with Brian Gill; and music criticism with Times critic Allan Kozzin; and I earned a B.A. in Modern Languages from The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where I trained as a features editor/writer with columnist Bob Levey of The Washington Post. I'm also a member of Actors Equity Association, Screen Actors Guild, and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

Wires Virtually Ignore Corzine's Dem Party ID, Rarely Associate Him With Obama Fundraising
Consider this post the print and online follow-up to the report early Tuesday evening by Matthew Balan at NewsBusters on the failure of the Big Three TV networks to note the Democratic Party/Obama fundraising affiliation of former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, whose now-bankrupt MF Global financial firm has apparently admitted to diverting client money in a futile attempt to battle its financial free-fall.
Balan found that the Big Three's morning shows "omitted the party affiliation of Jon Corzine as they reported on the federal investigation into his brokerage firm," and that ABC didn't even mention Corzine's name. This is not surprising, as the wire services which provide much of the raw material for these shows for the most part similarly failed, and have continued to do so. A rundown of much of what the wires have produced, along with a look at several New York Times items, follows the jump:
- Reuters, as carried at the New York Times ("U.S. Court OKs Trustee for MF Global Brokerage"; Oct. 31, 6:24 p.m.) -- No party affiliation, no mention of ties to Obama. The report points out that MF Global's bankruptcy is the seventh-largest in U.S. history.
- Reuters, again as carried at the Times ("MF Global Accounts Shock Leaves Clients Scrambling"; Nov. 1, 3:51 p.m.) -- No party affiliation, no mention of ties to Obama.
- At the New York Times's Dealbook blog ("MF Global Files for Bankruptcy"; Oct. 31, 10:21 a.m.) -- Michael de la Merced and Ben Protess failed to mention Corzine's party or Obama ties. As Balan noted in his NewsBusters post, a 6:57 p.m. report by the same two Times reporters and Suzanne Craig did tag Corzine as a Dem.
- Also at the Times, via Joe Nocera ("Corzine Crashes Like It's 2008"; Oct. 31) -- The op-ed writer did succeed in tagging Corzine as a "liberal" but not as a Dem, and failed to mention his Obama ties. Because of the bankruptcy, Corzine failed to extract a $12 million severance from the firm he would have received if it had been sold, leading Nocera to assert that "The idea that Corzine, who single-handedly destroyed MF Global Holdings, was in a position to command so much as a penny in severance is horrifying. It suggests two things."
- In a late morning report at the Associated Press yesterday ("MF Global files for bankruptcy protection"; Oct. 31, 11:50 a.m.), Business Writers Daniel Wagner and Chris Kahn broke the ice on the Obama tie-in, but failed to mention the Democratic Party -- "Corzine is also a top fundraiser for President Barack Obama. Corzine has helped raised at least $500,000 for Obama's re-election campaign since April, according to records released by the campaign."
- A search at the Associated Press's main site on "Corzine Democrat" (not in quotes) returns no results.
- To its credit, Bloomberg ("MF Global Failed to Separate Client Collateral From Own Accounts, CME Says"; Nov. 1, 3:15 p.m.) mentioned Corzine's Democratic Party affiliation in Paragraph 21 while reciting his bio (appropriate, in my opinion, given the other bombshell news contained therein). However, the piece did not note Corzine's fundraising ties to Obama. According to the report, "about $700 million" in client accounts may have been raided.
Given the mostly light treatment of Corzine's party ID and of his Obama fundraising involvement at the New York Times and in the wires, it's hardly surprising, though still disappointing, that the Big Three networks followed their lead.

Goldman Sachs Hacks

Corzine is just another in the long line of Goldman Sachs (D) hacks. Most recently, Rajat Gupta, a former director of Goldman Sachs, was arrested on federal insider trading charges. Goldman's current CEO Lloyd Blankfein has hired a defense attorney to fend off accusations of conflicts of interest and fraud.
Did I mention Goldman's role in the home mortgage fiasco and subsequent bailout? Or the revolving door between Goldman and federal lawmakers?

George Hill signed a five-year contract with the Indiana Pacers on Monday, the Indianapolis Star reports. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Hill will be able to sign his new contract once the NBA's moratorium period ends on July 11.
The Pacers acquired the rights to Hill from the San Antonio Spurs on the night of the 2011 NBA Draft. Hill came off the bench for both guard positions, and started at point guard when Darren Collison went down with a groin injury. He had 9.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists averaging 25.5 minutes per game last season.
Hill remained the starter even after Collison was healthy enough to return to the court, and should compete for the job once again to start the 2012-13 season.
Roy Hibbert is now the Pacers' last unresolved restricted free agent. The Portland Trail Blazers gave him a five-year, $58 million offer sheet over the weekend. Hibbert is expected to sign on July 11, giving the Pacers three days to match the offer in order to retain his rights.

Though it has expertise in casting, you won't find Precision Castparts Corp. (PCC) offering Hollywood stars any movie roles. The company is a maker of investment castings used in jet aircraft, satellite launches, armaments, and medical applications (prostheses). Its Investment Cast products segment makes jet engine parts, fluid management valves, and deep-hole boring tools. Forged Products and Fastener Products round out the company's three segments and cover the power generation and paper and pulp industries, as well as general industry. The cyclical aerospace sector accounts for more than half of PCC's sales, and customers have included noteworthy names like General Electric and Pratt & Whitney.
PCC's Forged Products segment works with such metals as titanium and steel alloys to manufacture components for commercial and military aircraft. Generating 44% of the company's sales, the lineup ranges from landing gear to wing structures and airframes, as well as piping for the energy market.
The Investment Cast products division (32% of sales) works with specialty materials and alloys, nickel- and cobalt-base alloys and stainless steel, to create large structural castings for such applications as aircraft engines, gas turbines, airfoils, and airframes. Other products from this segment include medical prostheses, artificial hips and knees, and components for pumps and compressors, as well as large titanium components for armament systems such as the BAE lightweight howitzer.
The Fasteners segment (24% of sales) produces specialty fasteners, and assemblies primarily for use in aerospace applications. Although the fastener segment shares a customer base with PCC's forged and cast product segments, the unit also manufactures parts used in the pulp and paper and power generation markets.
Financial Performance
PCC has gained considerable financial ground since the recession. It recognized sizable revenue and profit gains in 2011; and for 2012 it saw its revenue increase by 16% and its profits rise by almost 21%. The revenue increase was driven by a growth of 25% in the aerospace sector, specifically within its Investment Cast and Forged Products segments. The company was also helped by a 15% increase in US sales. The surge in profits was due to the increase in net sales which were impacted by higher external selling prices of nickel alloy from its Forged Products segment's three primary mills.
PCC is using acquisitions as a means to bolster sales. In mid-2013 it announced it was acquiring France-based Permaswage, a maker of aerospace fluid fittings, for $600 million. The deal will fortify PCC's product range of airplane components.
The company is also using acquisitions to jumpstart its Forged Products segment. Earlier in 2013 it purchased Titanium Metals Corporation (TIMET), a fabricated titanium products provider, for $2.9 billion. PCC bought TIMET to streamline its supply chain and optimize its input costs by adding fabricated titanium products to its portfolio. PCC also acquired RathGibson, which makes tubing for the oil and gas, chemical/petrochemical, power-generation, and other markets, in 2012.
To expand both its Fasteners and Forged Products segments, PCC acquired the aerostructures and industrial products businesses of Héroux-Devtek for about CAD$300 million (about $295.5 million) in 2012. Among other benefits, the acquisition expanded the company's product line for such OEMs as Lockheed, Bombardier, and Gulfstream. PCC also inked a deal to purchase the Synchronous Aerospace Group business of private investment firm Littlejohn & Co. in late 2012.

September 3, 2009
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
The Commission reviewed the concept design submitted by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to replace the 40 year old 11th Street bridges that cross the Anacostia River. DDOT plans to construct two new bridges, one for freeway traffic and one for local traffic. In order to accommodate new ramp configurations, the Commission approved the transfer of land of approximately 1.5 acres of Reservation 343D (Anacostia Park) from the National Park Service to the District of Columbia.
The proposed bridge replacement project seeks to improve connections between I-695 (the Southeast/Southwest Freeway) and I-295 (the Anacostia Freeway). It would eliminate structural deficiencies and provide needed enhancements to the bridge and approach ramp structures. It is designed to reduce congestion, improve traffic mobility and traffic safety, and provide alternative emergency routes.
The local bridge would provide a 14' wide shared-use path for walking, jogging, and bicycling and be built with tracks to permit a streetcar route in the future. The proposal includes components to accommodate overhead wires.
In addition to approving the land transfer, NCPC voiced support for the replacement of the existing bridges as well as for the city's streetcar initiative. However, it noted concern about the use of an overhead wire system within the historic Washington City (L'Enfant City) and Georgetown because of its conflict with a federal law that maintains the unobstructed views to important landmarks along city streets and avenues that are integral to the capital's unique character. The Commission action also reflected the District's commitment to study the potential environmental impacts of the proposed city-wide streetcar system in an Environmental Impact Statement.

Consolidated Planned Unit Development and Related Map Amendment, Square 1356, 4460 MacArthur Boulevard, Washington, D.C.
(File Number Z.C. 08-21 )
NCPC noted that a proposed Consolidated PUD for construction of 34 new row houses on a three-acre site at 4460 MacArthur Boulevard, NW (Square 1356), and a related map amendment to change the zoning from R-1-B to R-5-A to allow for higher density, would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital, nor would it adversely affect any other federal interest.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Proposed Federal Capital Improvements Program for the National Capital Region, Fiscal Years 2010-2015
(File Number 1485)
The Commission adopted the Fiscal Years 2010-2015 Federal Capital Improvements Program (FCIP) for the National Capital Region. In its adoption, the Commission directed NCPC staff to provide the approved FCIP to the Office of Management and Budget, to National Capital Region jurisdictions, and to other interested parties. The plan contains 182 proposed projects submitted by 16 federal agencies with an estimated total cost of $10.3 billion. The General Services Administration has the most projects with 42, and the Army is second with 35. Of these projects, 82 are in the District of Columbia, 54 are in Maryland, 44 are in Virginia, and two are elsewhere in the NCR. In addition, NCPC submitted 32 additional projects for future programming.
See the Commission Action and Staff Recommendation
Consolidated Planned Unit Development, First Stage Planned Unit Development, and Related Map Amendment for Parcel 121/31, Irving Street and Michigan Avenue
(File Number Z.C.08-33)
The Commission reviewed a Consolidated Planned Unit Development (PUD), First Stage PUD, and related map amendment to construct a mixed-use development featuring a hotel and conference center, restaurant, retail, and residential uses at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Irving Street, NE. The map amendment would change the zoning from unzoned to C-3-A, which would allow for mixed-use development and the requested building heights.
NCPC advised the Zoning Commission that the Consolidated PUD and related map amendment would not be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital, nor would it adversely affect any other federal interest. However, NCPC found that the proposed First Stage PUD would have an adverse impact on an identified federal interest. The proposed inclusion of residential units is inconsistent with acceptable uses outlined in a March 7, 1990 Statement of Non-Disturbance between the General Services Administration and the District of Columbia government.

DESIGN STORYIn 1964, the office of Charles and Ray Eames designed a table with a single segmented base, constructed of modular units that could support tops of different lengths and widths.
Today, more than 40 years later, Eames tables remain a popular choice for those who appreciate durability and performance, as well as sleek and simple beauty.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – All was quiet Monday night at Nettie Walker's Ashburn home.
"Me and mama we're sitting in here watching TV. The national news had just went off," she said.
But Nettie Walker never imagined that what happened next would end up making the news.
"All of a sudden that door busted open," said Walker.
Three masked men burst into her living room demanding money. Walker reached for the phone to call 911, but it was knocked out of her hand. She and her 90-year-old mother were left helpless.
"One of them held me down, while the other one put a knife to my throat with the other hand," said Walker, a beautician who has called Ashburn home for more than 34 years.
"I started praying. I said he was going to kill me. So I started praying for him and me and everybody else,"
But Walker says through this frightening ordeal she remained calm. She thought back to her husband, this while a knife was at her neck and her home was being ransacked.
"I'm thankful I was married to a military man," she said.
In the corner of the living room, just above the couch where she thought she might die, is a picture of young WWII soldier named Charles Walker. He died 12 years ago, but she says she felt he was there..protecting her.
"I think he was here in spirit because he always warned me about things like that."
For nearly 20 minutes she was held down. The home invaders placed a towel over her mother's head as they grabbed her jewelry and phone.
"I never did lose it," she admits.
When the robbers took off, she set off her burglar alarm. Within 3 minutes Ashburn Police officers arrive at her West End Avenue home. Less than 3 hours later, a traffic stop led them to their suspects.
Just miles away from the crime scene, a patrol officer arrested 22-year-old Malcom Davis and 18-year-old Adrean Mangum. They, along with a 15-year-old, are charged with armed robbery.
Police say they found evidence to link to them to the home invasion and another burglary in the area.
Davis was out on bond at the time of his arrest. He was charged in connection with a 2010 shooting in Ashburn.
"No one should have go through that. I don't care how old you are or how young you are. I'm just thankful that God looked after me," said Walker.
She says she'll follow her late husband's advice and always keep the burglar alarm on. And while she says this won't keep her down, she's more cautious of her surroundings.
Davis, Mangum, and the juvenile remain in jail without bond.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Two cases of the flu have turned up in Kentucky. Health officials say the cases were confirmed in Henderson and Jefferson counties.
Flu vaccines take several weeks before a person develops immunity to the flu, so officials are encouraging people to get their vaccines now.
Anyone over six months old is encouraged to get vaccinated.
Other tips -- wash your hands frequently, cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and stay home when you're sick.

BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) -- Pat Knight's epic rant after a recent loss by Lamar made it sound like he was coaching the worst team in college basketball.
The reality is Knight's Cardinals are good. The coach didn't like the way they were slacking off and the premeditated tirade was an unconventional way to get them back on track.
It would seem unlikely that saying he had the "worst group of seniors" and accusing them of "stealing money by being on scholarship" after a 10-point loss to Stephen F. Austin on Feb. 22 would motivate a team.
But it did.
The Cardinals have won three straight since then to finish with the Southland Conference East Division title and the school's first 20-win season in 24 years.

Women's soccer closes out spring schedule
The JU women's soccer team laid the foundation for next season by wrapping up a successful spring campaign.
The Dolphins began their six-game set with a 1-0 victory against Tampa. After falling to Citadel, JU bounced back with a win against UNF and a scoreless tie against No. 33 USF. They would fall to No. 23 UCF, 1-0, before ending the spring with a 3-2 win against Columbus State.
"I am excited by many of the things we learned this spring," said JU head coach Brian Copham. "We played a competitive schedule and even though we had low numbers, we still competed every time we stepped out on the field. We played numerous players in various positions and had players step up even in positions they were not as used to. I think we also earned more respect for ourselves as teammates along the way.
"Defensively, we were solid with Alexa Rooney in goal. Ally Lee and Arianne Heaton played beside each other as center backs and did an excellent job learning their new roles. Liz Fink continued to be a stalwart in the defensive center midfield while she combined with a new partner in the attacking center midfield position - Becca Massip. The two played very well in the center of the park and were constantly making us better because of their skill on the ball and decision making.
"With a variety of different combinations up front, Raquel Weckhurst showed consistent improvements and was constantly a threat in front of the goal. Overall, we are excited about the progress this spring and are looking forward to the 2011 campaign as we add a very talented group with our signing class."
In 2010, the Dolphins posted a 13-4-2 record and an 8-1-1 mark in conference play to earn the No. 1 seed in the A-Sun Tournament. They knocked Kennesaw State in the conference semifinals, but fell short of their third NCAA Tournament berth with a 1-0 loss to Mercer in the title match.
JU had seven players receive all-conference honors, with Copham highlighting the group by earning A-Sun "Coach of the Year" accolades. The Dolphins also received the NSCAA Team Academic Award for their work in the classroom.

PIKEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - New Pikeville Mayor Philip Cagle is pledging to rebuild public trust.
Cagle said Friday that would be his first order of business as he takes over the post from Greg Johnson, who resigned Sept. 1 after being charged with official misconduct and theft. Cagle will serve the remaining three years of Johnson's term.
Cagle told The Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/SoYgZV) that city workers are ready to get "back on track."
A report from the state comptroller's office found Johnson cost the city $250,000 because of fraud, waste and abuse.

In the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, there are three things you would probably notice on television …
One, the addition of another Wild Card in each league. You'll definitely notice that one next October.
Two, the addition of a 26th roster spot for most double-headers. You'll notice that if you're paying attention.
And three, the expansion of video review to cover rulings on balls down the foul lines and plays in the outfield where the fielder might have trapped (or not trapped) the baseball.
The first two of those were done deals; the third was delayed for non-obvious reasons, and apparently delayed until 2013.
Or maybe not. Tracy Ringolsby:
Both sides indicated support of expanding instant replay, currently used on disputed calls involving potential home runs, but the details of how to handle more replays were not worked out. At the time, the indication was that additional usage of replay would have to wait until the 2013 season because of concern about an in-season rules change.
Selig, however, said that is no longer a concern.
"It was a practical matter," Selig said of the delay on the expanded use of replays . "I think we are going to get it done on balls hit down the first and third base lines, and balls trapped in the outfield. (Manager) Mike Scioscia of the Angels is always talking about trapped balls.
"I hope we can get it done before this year is over. They are working on it now."
Sounds like Opening Day isn't realistic. Must be a lot more complicated than it seems. But we shouldn't be surprised if this happens at some point in the second half of the season. And the sooner, we think, the better.

An elderly Citrus County man died Saturday afternoon following a one-vehicle crash in the parking lot of the Diamond Ridge Health and Rehabilitation Center in Lecanto.
Peter A. Costello, 86, was transported to Citrus Memorial Hospital where he later died.
According to a Florida Highway Patrol report this incident occurred just before 2 p.m. Costello was traveling north in the lot in his 2012 Dodge Journey when he lost control of the vehicle and struck an unoccupied SUV.
Investigators believe a medical condition caused Costello to lose control of his vehicle. Alcohol was not a factor and he was wearing his seatbelt.
No charges have been filed as the investigation continues.

Parkway Drive Biography
Parkway Drive is a metalcore band from Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. As of 2009, Parkway Drive has released an EP, entitled Don't Close Your Eyes, two split albums, and two full-length albums, Killing With a Smile and Horizons. Parkway Drive formed in the summer of 2003, their name coming from the street they used to practice on in their home town of Byron Bay, Australia. Not long after they had formed, they released a split EP with Adelaide band I Killed The Prom Queen who have since disbanded. Later that year, the band also made an appearance on the Byron Bay Hardcore compilation What We've Built, preceded by their debut EP, Don't Close Your Eyes. In May 2005 headed to the USA to record their debut album with renowned metal producer, Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz (who is responsible for acclaimed releases from the likes of Unearth, August Burns Red, Underoath and Johnny Truant.) Since the release of Don't Close Your Eyes, Parkway Drive have rapidly accumulated a loyal fanbase Australia-wide, courtesy of support slots for international acts including Hatebreed, In Flames, Chimaira, Shadows Fall, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through, Alexisonfire, and performances at Metal for the Brain 2005 and Australia's Hardcore 2005. They have built quite a strong reputation within the music industry, this led to their signing with Epitaph record labels. In June 2006, the band was signed to Epitaph Records, which released Killing with a Smile in the United States during August of that year. In late May 2006, second bass player Shaun Cash left the band for personal reasons with the full support of the rest of the members. The band soon found a replacement in their "merch guy" and long-time friend, Jia "Pie" O'Connor. Now a permanent part of the line-up, he played with them for the rest of their first international tour in the United Kingdom and Europe, and later dates in the United States. In October 2006, they were billed as the Australian contingent on the Rockstar Taste of Chaos tour, playing alongside Anti-Flag, Underoath, Thursday, Senses Fail, Taking Back Sunday and Saosin. During November and December 2006, they appeared at the Homebake Festival, Sound Fest, Resist Records' tour, Soundwave Festival and Gravity G Festival before returning to the UK and Europe. On 3 March 2007, a new song was previewed to a crowd at Underworld entitled "The Siren's Song". The song would later feature on Horizons. They were placed on the bill for the U.S. Vans Warped Tour 2007 as the only Australian band on the tour. On 15 August, Winston McCall appeared in an interview on the short.fast.loud show on Australia's Triple J Radio station in which he previewed a track off Horizons entitled "Boneyards." Horizons was released on 6 October 2007. The album was generally acclaimed by critics and fans alike; especially Blunt Magazine, who wrote that the album 'simply slays from the get go' and awarded it 10/10, and planet-loud.com, which suggested that it would 'set the benchmark for metal albums to come'. It debuted at number 6 on the ARIA Charts. After the release of Horizons, the band toured through the US, Australia and Europe with such bands such as Killswitch Engage, Bury Your Dead, Darkest Hour and others. In February/March 2008, Parkway teamed up with Byron Bay bands/friends 50 lions and Word Up!, to complete the Surf Rats Tour of east coast Australia. This tour (traveling to towns not listed on the standard touring circuit) was based around surfing big surf spots on the way. On 12 December 2008 while performing at UNSW Roundhouse, Parkway Drive announced that they were filming a DVD of the show, which would include footage of the performance and a few songs from other bands featured in the Sweat Fest Tour. On 18 January 2009, Parkway Drive announced their headlining US tour with Stick to Your Guns and Mychildren Mybride. On 28 January to 1 February 2009, Parkway Drive went on a tour in Japan with Shai Hulud and Crystal Lake. Parkway Drive played at the 2009 Bamboozle Lineup at the Giant's Stadium parking lots; as well as being confirmed at 2009's Download Festival. In May 2009, Parkway Drive announced that they would be releasing a live DVD and an Australian tour was also announced with August Burns Red and Architects in support of it. It was on this tour that the band performed a new song entitled "Unrest." The band is currently in the process of writing for a new cd, slated to be released sometime 2010. Title is unknown at this time.

On Monday, the University of Maryland Board of Regents voted unanimously to join the Big Ten as the conference's 13th member.
Spaziani goes back to the practice drawing board with the Eagles sitting at 1-6.
"I think we've been competitive in certain situations. But we are really not that far away but we are miles away. We have to get everybody out there playing and practicing and making some plays."
An indepth look at BC's loss to Georgia Tech
The Boston College Eagles fell to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 37-17 on Saturday afternoon as the program sinks further into irrelevance under Coach Frank Spaziani.
While it's unclear how the scheduling will work and for how long Notre Dame holds out on going all-in with its football program, as it stands now, BC will likely have seen the last of Georgia Tech...
The Eagles travel to Atlanta to take on the 2-4 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Kickoff is at 3:00 PM Eastern on NESN.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, they found heavy smoke pouring out of a building made up of eight apartments, Jasper Fire Chief David Clark said Thursday.
Clark said firefighters began an aggressive interior attack and contained the fire to the unit where the fire started.
Firefighters were able to contain the damage to the one unit, but other units in the building sustained minor smoke and water damage, Clark said.
"My guys did a great job in preventing what could have been a major incident involving all eight apartments," Clark said.
No injuries were reported.
Clark said an investigation determined the fire accidentally began in the apartment's kitchen.
