Spokane Indians outfielder Guillermo Pimentel was promoted
Wednesday to the Hickory (N.C.) Crawdads, the Texas Rangers' Low-A team in the
South Atlantic League. Pimentel hit .344 in nine games with the Indians,
playing center field and right field. He made an impression on
Don Nachbaur is the new face of the Spokane Chiefs, no surprise, but the Western Hockey League team made it official Wednesday afternoon. Click here for the story.
There will not be a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown on Friday at the Arena.
The Spokane Shock remained atop the AFL coaches poll for the second straight week, but Arizona, coming off an impressive road win over then No. 3 Jacksonville, somehow dropped from second to fourth.
Tampa Bay jumped from fourth to second, apparently on the basis of an easy home win over 13th-ranked Bossier/Shreveport (3-9). Chicago also climbed over Arizona after beating Orlando (5-6).
Rankings below.
Former Gonzaga guard G.J. Vilarino expects to visit Fresno State later this week and Nebraska in early August, his father, Gerry, said.
Vilarino recently visited Illinois, Appalachian State and took an unofficial visit to one other school. Gerry Vilarino said his son has one other opening for an official visit and he'll probably make a final decision in early August.
The Spokane Chiefs will have a press conference at the Arena this afternoon to introduce veteran Western Hockey League coach Don Nachbaur as their new coach, according sources. Read story here.
One source said the Chiefs would give the former Tri-City and Seattle coach an unprecedented five-year contract.
Spokane has made a number of lineup changes throughout the season, but its level of play hasn't dropped off. In fact, the Shock appear to be playing their best football heading into Friday's showdown with Arizona.
Read on for more about the juggling act Spokane has done (mostly because of injuries) as well as an update on Raul Vijil and Rattlers quarterback Nick Davila.

Colorado would like to join the WSU Cougars and the rest of the Pac-10 a year earlier than planned. And there is a chance the Big 12 would let them. Now the Buffaloes wait to see how much it will cost. Associated Press writer Arnie Stapleton takes a look at Colorado's situation in the article below.
Sorry there hasn't been much in the way of Washington State news here recently, but there has been a good reason for that. We explain, plus go into the status of basketball recruiting and a football injury, on the link, so read on.
The AFL sent out a release earlier today listing player of the week honors. Eighty minutes later, the league said after further discussion there was a revised list of winners, this one including Spokane's Antwan Marsh as co-Ironman of the week. Marsh, who scored three touchdowns (one on an interception return and on short TD runs) shared the award with Chicago's fullback Robert Boss.
Here's the updated release.
Spokane had travel issues Friday and eventually had to bus from Minneapolis to Milwaukee, arriving at 4 a.m. Saturday. It didn't seem to bother the top-ranked Shock on the field as they toppled Milwaukee 62-48 Saturday night to improve to 9-2.
The Shock's seventh straight victory sets up a big showdown with No. 2 Arizona, which knocked off Jacksonville 66-50 on the road Saturday night. Arizona (8-3) has won six straight after a 63-56 loss to Spokane in Phoenix.
UPDATE: Not sure what the circumstances were, but this game story indicates Arizona QB Nick Davila was kicked out of Saturday's game in the third. Also, John Booker, a former Shock lineman, is playing fullback now for the Rattlers. Looks like Davila threw a punch after scoring a rushing touchdown.

Spokane and Milwaukee hook up Saturday night in a rematch of an early April game won by the Iron 74-62 at the Spokane Arena. Here's a link to the preview article.
It's been pretty well known for some time, but the formal announcement came this morning that Gonzaga will face Illinois in the Battle in Seattle on Dec. 4. More here.
It'll be the second of a four-game set between the teams. Gonzaga beat Illinois in Chicago last season. The teams will eventually play on each other's home courts to conclude the series.
GU has a 4-3 record in Battle in Seattle games. Illinois is the first Big Ten team to play against Gonzaga in the Battle.
Back with a short article on Matt Bouldin, who has agreed to join the Chicago Bulls summer league team, according to his agent Stu Lash.
Here's the link.
Spokane's offensive line has been reworked several times this season and the unit will see another change against Milwaukee on Saturday. Rob McMackin, who hurt his knee in the Bossier/Shreveport game in mid April, has been activated. Harrison Nikolao, who started at center last week, has been put on injured-reserve. The team didn't specify Nikolao's injury.
Elsewhere, former Shock defensive back Al Phillips, a starter at the outset of the season before getting hurt, signed with Milwaukee. No word on whether Phillips will play against the Shock. The Iron have another former Spokane player in Virgil Gray, but he's been on I-R.
Here are some further reflections, via the Missoulian, on former University of Montana football player Tim Bush of Kellogg, who was killed in a mining accident. Services are 11 a.m. Friday at Kellogg High School.
The Seahawks wrapped up their minicamp Wednesday. Here's a so-long photo with center Chris Spencer and his 11-month-old son, Jaxon.
Archbishop Murphy football coach Dave Ward was at Everett
Memorial Tuesday. He watched his nephew, quarterback/defensive back Travis Ward
of Mt. Spokane High, practice with the East team. Because of schedule conflicts
and the distance between them, Dave never saw Travis, a
As reported back in The Spokesman-Review in April, here are the local players chosen to play in the game include:
Jake Miller, punter/kicker, Central Valley; Levi Taylor, running back/defensive back, Lewis and Clark; Bo Tully, DB/wide receiver, Mead; Travis Ward, quarterback/DB, Mt. Spokane; Colten Williams, WR/DB, Mt. Spokane; Trevor Poole, offensive line/defensive line, Ferris; Ashton Boothroyd, OL/DL, Mt. Spokane; Brent Anderson, center/DL, Mt. Spokane; and Kjelby Oiland, OL/DL, Ferris.
After three weeks at No. 2, Spokane has finally moved up to the top spot in the AFL coaches poll released Wednesday.
The Shock, winners of six straight, replaced Jacksonville at No. 1. The Sharks dropped to No. 3. Spokane had 10 first-place votes, No. 2 Arizona four and No. 5 Tampa Bay one. The Shock and Rattlers are 1-2 in the West Division and now in the rankings. Milwaukee, which entertains Spokane on Saturday, dropped from third to sixth.
AFL fans and writers agree with Spokane being No. 1, but there are several differences in top five in their respective polls.
More below.
—UPDATE: Milwaukee appears to be having ownership/financial issues and nobody, including team president and CEO Andrew Vallozzi or AFL commissioner Jerry Kurz seems inclined to talk about it. More here.
—Also, Shock director of communications Kevin Maloney relays that ex-Spokane DB Stanley Franks survived final cuts and made the B.C. Lions roster. A quick scan of CFL rosters shows Aaron Fairooz still with Saskatchewan and Jeremy Unertl with Toronto, but it wasn't immediately known if they'd made the final rosters. Chris Pino suffered an injury shortly after signing with Montreal. Spokane has the AFL rights to those three players.
Spokane Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz denied reports that former Tri-City Americans coach Don Nachbaur has been hired to coach the Western Hockey League team.
According to veteran reporter Gregg Drinnan in Kamloops, citing two sources, Nachbaur is all but signed to replace Hardy Sauter.
"It could be right but it's not now," Speltz said Wednesday morning. "We do not have a deal done with Don Nachbaur.
"I talked to Don yesterday. By all means, he's a candidate for sure. He's in Vegas, we talked, we're going to talk. He's a valid candidate, a very accomplished coach."
Back with a Shock notebook, which begins with Raul Vijil's remarkable five-game stretch. Read on for that and other notes in an unedited article that will run in Wednesday's S-R.
Adam Morrison reflects on his time with the Lakers during exit interviews the team held with Los Angeles media on Tuesday. Here is the interview from the Lakers website.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs continue to fill out future schedules and they will hook up with a semi-familiar foe the next two seasons. GU will entertain Oklahoma State this season and visit Stillwater next year. Gonzaga has defeated OSU three times — in Oklahoma City, Seattle and Orlando — since 2004. More here and here.
—Spent the better part of a week trying to track down Matt Bouldin for a pre-draft feature, but he didn't return phone messages. So, here's a quick overview of his draft stock:
In a survey of 10 on-line mock drafts with two rounds, Bouldin was projected in three as a second-round draft pick. NBAdraft.net has Bouldin going to Milwaukee with the 47th overall selection. Hoopsworld.com predicts Orlando will take Bouldin with the 59th pick. Draftology.net projects the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers choosing Bouldin at 58th. Bouldin is rated as the 11th best point guard by Draftexpress.com. Bouldin is 61st in Cbssports.com's player rankings and 71st by NBA-draft.com. ESPN.com's Chad Ford ranks Bouldin 66th overall with the projection of second round/free agent.

Meanwhile, there won't be a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown this weekend. No. 3 Milwaukee lost to a patchwork Chicago Rush outfit. Second-ranked Spokane, which visits Milwaukee on Saturday, is expected to take over the No. 1 ranking after top-ranked Jacksonville's loss to Orlando.
Sunday's Spokane Indians game against the Tri-City Dust Devils has been postponed because of rain.
The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on July 25 with the gametime to be announced.
The Tri-City Dust Devils defeated the Spokane Indians, 9-5, at Avista Stadium on Saturday night. Here is our story.
The Shock continued to roll, handling Tulsa 63-42 Friday for their sixth straight win. Click here for an expanded game story.
Spokane was strong on both sides of the ball en route to a 63-42 win over Tulsa at the Arena on Friday. Read on for a short game story and check back in an hour for a longer version.
Game time in about 20 minutes, plenty of time for a quick injury update.
Turns out Shock backup quarterback Erik Meyer isn't sick, as the team and head coach Rob Keefe have maintained the last two weeks. Meyer has a pinched nerve in his neck, the result of an innocuous side-arm pass in practice about 10 days ago.
The former EWU standout experienced some numbness and suffered back spasms soon after throwing the pass. By rule, he must be on I-R for at least four weeks. Brian Zbydniewski will be Kyle Rowley's backup for the next four games.
Also, receiver Markee White is slowly improving from an AC joint separation in his shoulder. The severity of White's injury was between a 2 and 3 (4 is the most severe). The team hopes he can return in 3-4 weeks.
I'll be back with two post-game posts — a quick wrap-up at about 11:15 and another (with quotes) at midnight.

UPDATE: Yet another ex-AFL franchise is coming back. Kansas City, following announcements earlier this week by Philadelphia and San Jose, is expected to be in the AFL in 2011. More here.
With the University of Utah poised to accept membership today in what will become the Pac-12 Conference, it seems as if the avalanche of expansion has petered out without too much damage to the status quo. Which might just be a good thing. Read on.
The expected (inevitable?) has happened. The Pac-10 has invited Utah to join the party. The Utes will accept their invitation tomorrow. The Pac-10 will likely become the Pac-12 either next year or the year after. Now all that seems to be left is to iron out the details. We'll be back.
UPDATE: We had a conversation with WSU athletic director Bill Moos about the expansion, which we turned into a story. We also have more, so read on.
For the third straight week Spokane is No. 2 in the AFL coaches poll. Jacksonville stayed in the top spot. Milwaukee is No. 3, followed by Arizona.
UPDATE: On the expansion front, San Jose, one of the league's most successful franchises, is returning to the AFL. The SaberCats would provide another western opponent (along with Utah and Arizona) for the Shock. Philadelphia announced earlier this week that it intends to return to the AFL in 2011.

A quick update on former Zag guard G.J. Vilarino.
Gerry Vilarino, G.J.'s father, said his son has at least three visits scheduled, one an unofficial trip to a university Gerry declined to identify.
Vilarino will visit Appalachian State and another school (it's apparently not in the Northwest) this week. He'll also visit Illinois next week. Gerry Vilarino didn't rule out additional visits. He said they're taking their time because they want to make sure they make the best decision.
Appalachian State, located in Boone, N.C., plays in the Southern Conference (Davidson, etc.) and is coached by Jason Capel, brother of Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel. Gonzaga beat Big Ten member Illinois last year in Chicago and the teams will square off this season in the Battle in Seattle. Vilarino will have to sit out the upcoming season due to NCAA transfer rules.
A nearly $100,000 raise — that is what's in store for Idaho football coach Robb Akey, who negotiated a new contract with UI after the team's most successful season in 11 years.
Keep reading for all the details of the five-year deal, which will pay Akey more than $355,000 this year if the State Board approves.

Let's see. I take a day off to play golf – one of the members of our scramble group not only missed a hole-in-one by an inch (I took pictures) he also rolled in birdie putt from the neighborhood of 70 feet but, alas, we did not win – and the entire world – read, Pac-10 expansion – falls apart. My bad. Before we big adieu to the PaC-16 (motto: "The C is for Texas"), let's look at what the news means for Washington State. And, by the way, we have some hoop news. For more, read on.
It looks like the next 48 hours will define the future of college athletics as we know it. Now that isn't too apocalyptic, is it? But it just might be true. So where do we stand? We're sure Colorado will join the Pac-10, Nebraska the Big Ten and Boise State the Mountain West. All that was decided late last week. And we know Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott is making home visits, recruiting the likes of five-star schools like Texas and it's buddy Texas Tech (a one-star). There were visits with Oklahoma (four stars) and Oklahoma State (two). If recalcitrant Texas A&M (three) decides to diss the conference, the backup plan seems to be Utah (I don't think it has been given it any stars yet, but if USC decides it's a good fit, some services will give it three). For more, read on.
Some Sunday reading material: John Blanchette says Shock ownership needs to step up to make sure the 2009 players get their rings for winning the ArenaCup championship. Meanwhile, Orlando, particularly defensive back Kenny McEntyre, wasn't too pleased with Saturday's loss to Spokane.

By now most of you have probably heard the news about Pac-10 expansion. You've probably dissected the USC/NCAA battle that seems to be only beginning. But maybe you still have some questions, some unfilled gaps of knowledge about Thursday's two big news events. So before Friday gets filled up with World Cup, Nebraska leaving for the Big Ten or somebody throwing another perfect game, we'll give you tools to fill those gaps. Kind of like a dentist and my front teeth. Read on.
We've spent the afternoon getting Washington State reaction to the addition of Colorado to the Pac-10 Conference. We put together a couple stories for tomorrow's paper, one on the overall news and the WSU response, the other on the financial bump the school may receive if the conference expands to 16 teams, as has been talked about all week. For both, read on.
The West Coast Conference, like a lot of folks across the country, is watching the evolving conference landscape with a keen eye. Football and television dollars are driving what many believe will be widespread shakeups to the memberships of conferences.
Conference realignment was discussed at the just-concluded WCC meetings "as far as what we know of what is going on and what effect it would have on the WCC as a whole and any individual school," Gonzaga A.D. Mike Roth said. "It's really difficult to say. We're not football schools (only USD offers football). The strange part is if the Big 12 goes away, there's a void in the BCS. Who steps into that void? If the Pac-10 picks up six out of the Big 12 and two others go to the Big 10, what does the SEC do then? What happens to the Mountain West? Does it move into a position of power?"
Read on for more of Roth's thoughts.
An illness to backup quarterback Erik Meyer has led to the Shock signing Brian Zbydniewski.
Meyer isn't expected to make the trip for Saturday's game at Orlando, leaving Spokane without a backup behind Kyle Rowley. Enter Zbydniewski, who was a Shock backup QB in 2006. 'Z' played for af2 Quad-City in 2009 and he lives about 90 minutes from Orlando.
'Z' will serve as the backup Saturday and the Shock anticipate Meyer will be back on the field next week.
Update: More on the Meyer/Zbydniewski and aformentioned Brookins/Dodd-Masters here.
Spokane has made a couple of personnel moves, releasing Ruschard Dodd-Masters and signing Mervin Brookins. Both play defensive back.
The Shock didn't have a choice regarding Dodd-Masters. He apparently played two games for Wenatchee Valley of the AIFA after March 1st. Per Arena Football League rules, players who have played on teams in lower leagues (AIFA, IFL, etc.) after March 1 are ineligible to play on an AFL team this season (first I've heard of that rule!).
The league office notified Spokane of the situation earlier this week. Head coach Rob Keefe wasn't aware Dodd-Masters, who is married and lives in Spokane, had played for the Venom. Dodd-Masters didn't play in any Shock games.
Brookins played for Stockton in the af2 and was with AFL Oklahoma City earlier this season. He had 12 tackles in four games for OKC.
This isn't about Washington State, per se, but it may have a big affect on the school's football program down the road. The NCAA's ruling on USC was officially announced today. Here's the link, which gives you the gist of the investigation's findings along with the whole report, if you want to read it. The key elements for football: a loss of 10 scholarships a year for three years (no more than 75 players on scholarship for those years, and no more than 15 initials); a two-year bowl ban; and forfeiture of games won during the Reggie Bush era. There are also scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions in men's basketball, wins forfeited in men's basketball and women's tennis and four years of probation for the school.
The Idaho High School Activities Association passed a measure requiring schools to cut some games in minor sports. It does not affect the revenue-producing sports.
Also, just one Greater Spokane League 3A boys and girls basketball team will be able to earn a state berth in the new regional/state format beginning next year.

It's official. The Pac-10 announced Colorado has joined the conference. Here is the press release. UPDATE: Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott just said Colorado will join the conference in 2012.
It could be D-Day for USC today. Or Pearl Harbor, if that's your leaning. Whatever, it looks like the Trojans are in trouble. It also seems we're getting closer to some sort of landslide toward expansion and realignment of the conferences. Those items are discussed on the link. Read on.

The Spokane Shock didn't play last week, but they were poised to climb into the No. 1 spot in the AFL coaches poll when top-ranked Milwaukee lost to Arizona.
It didn't happen. Spokane remained No. 2 in the Week 10 rankings while Jacksonville, which lost the Shock two weeks ago, vaulted from No. 3 to No. 1. Milwaukee dropped to No. 3 and Spokane West Division rival Arizona moved up two spots to fourth.

A quite full Monday morning, what with the Washington State baseball team still playing – that looked doubtful early Sunday – and Pac-10 commissioner getting the go ahead from the conference presidents Sunday to pursue expansion and to do it quickly. We have items for you on both those subjects, so read on.
There was nothing easy about this Sunday for the Washington State baseball team. First the Cougars had to win a loser-out game with Kansas State. They did, 9-6. Then they had to face the host Arkansas Razorbacks knowing they had to beat the top seed twice to advance to next weekend's super regional. They did, 10-7. WSU scored first, led 2-1 before a five-run fifth gave them some breathing room. But Arkansas wasn't about to go away, scoring five runs over the next three innings to cut the lead to 7-6. Some poor Razorback fielding helped the Cougars score three times in the top of the eighth. Over, right? Especially with Chad Arnold throwing for WSU. Not really. Arkansas rallied with two outs in the eighth for a run. But Arnold tightened up and shut the Razorbacks down the rest of the way for a season-extending victory. Derek Jones picked a great day to get hot, hitting a big three-run home run the opener and finishing with five RBIs. In the nightcap, he added four hits and two RBIs. With Arnold throwing parts of four innings Sunday, will the Cougars turn to Adam Conley on Monday? We'll see. You can find our story here.
A quick post to update you on what's going on with Washington State's baseball team in the NCAAs. The Cougars fell behind 6-1, then rallied with eight runs in the fifth and sixth innings combined before holding on for a 9-6 victory. Derek Jones was the big bat, with five RBI including a three-run home run in the sixth. WSU will face Arkansas starting at 5 tonight. They must defeat the Razorbacks twice to keep their season alive. We'll keep you abreast of tonight's result as well.
Kevin McCullough, traded from Spokane to Oklahoma City earlier this week, had an interception and 47-yard touchdown return but the Yard Dawgz still lost, 50-48, at Tampa Bay on Saturday night.
McCullough's pick gave OKC a 42-41 lead early in the fourth quarter, but the Storm rallied to win, stopping an OKC two-point conversion attempt in the closing seconds. OKC dropped to 3-6. More here and here (wow, OKC made 13 roster moves last week, including the additions of ex-Cougar Mkristo Bruce and former Shock O lineman Rico Ochoa).
Meanwhile, Arizona, with ex-Shock QB Nick Davila tossing eight touchdowns and two interceptions, edged Milwaukee in OT to improve to 5-3, one game behind the Shock. Arizona entertains OKC this weekend.
Washington State's baseball team will be back at it today with a possible doubleheader. First the Cougars will face a noon (PDT) rematch with Kansas State, a 9-8 winner over Grambling on Saturday, before – if they win – having to face host Arkansas at 5. To win the regional, WSU will have to win three consecutive games. For more on yesterday's 6-4 defeat to the Razorbacks, read on.
Washington State struggled to solve the puzzle of Arkansas' Drew Smyly and, what was even more puzzling, had some uncharacteristic defensive lapses as well. But despite two crucial errors, the Cougars went into the bottom of the eighth trailing by just two runs, 5-3. And the left-handed Smyly was gone despite giving up just three hits and the three runs. Despite the best efforts of relievers DJ Baxendale and Geoff Davenport, WSU couldn't take the lead, scoring once without an out – on a bases-loaded walk – but leaving the bases loaded against Jordan Pratt. That was the Cougars' last hurrah as the Razorbacks played add-on in the ninth and won 6-4. WSU will have to come back through the loser's bracket tomorrow, facing Kansas State once again to start the day. Here is the link to our story.
Once again the morning is full of … stories. Ya, that's it. Stories. From baseball to a basketball legend to the Pac-10's future. We cover them all on the link, so read on.
Cody Bartlett, the 5-foot-8 second baseman we wrote about in this morning's S-R, pounded a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth and Washington State rallied to defeat Kansas State, 8-6, the Cougars' 19th come-from-behind victory of the season. They led 3-1, fell behind 6-3, tied it at 6, and then got the big bomb from Bartlett to move on in the NCAA regional. They'll face host Arkansas tomorrow in the winner's bracket game.
Here is the link to our story.

There are a few things to cover this morning related to Washington State and Pac-10 athletics, so let's get right to them. Read on.
Former Gonzaga University point guard Grant Gibbs has made an oral commitment to Creighton, according to the Omaha World-Herald.
Here is the link.
Spokane offensive lineman Chris Pino has signed a contract with Montreal of the CFL. The Shock today placed Pino on the other league exempt list. CFL teams are just beginning training camp.
Spokane recently signed ex-Idaho Vandal Adam Juratovac and Rob McMackin, a starter earlier this season, will probably come off injured-reserve in a couple of weeks.
A bit more below.
We have some more on the NCAA baseball regional that begins tomorrow, but probably of more interest is a Rivals.com report about Pac-10 expansion. This story seems to be getting some traction. Read on.
Former Zag guard Matt Bouldin worked out for Milwaukee on Wednesday after previous stops at Minnesota and Washington. He's scheduled to visit Chicago on Friday. More on Bouldin here.
The more you read about Washington State's opponent Friday, Kansas State – and there is another story on the link – the more you understand why WSU coach Donnie Marbut keeps saying the Wildcats are a lot like his Cougars. However, there are significant differences. Read on.
Back with a final verison, at this point, on Spokane trading Kevin McCullough to Oklahoma City. I called McCullough about an hour ago to get his reaction on going to OKC and included it below. Read on for the article.
Also, Spokane moved up one spot, to No. 2, in the coaches poll. Milwaukee is the new No. 1. The poll can be found here..Spokane, by the way, in No. 1 in the writers' and fans' polls.
As mentioned in a previous post, Spokane has cut ties with linebacker Kevin 'The Chainsaw' McCullough. He's been traded to Oklahoma City for claim order position (there's a number order for claiming free agents. Oklahoma City is No. 6 vs. Spokane's No. 8.).
Also, defensive back Al Phillips was activated off injured-reserve and then released. He was on I-R with a knee injury.
More later.
The Washington State Cougars' baseball team was as hot as anyone down the stretch of the Pac-10 season, winning 9 of its final 12 conference games. We have a story examining one of the main reasons behind the surge for tomorrow's S-R, but you can read the unedited version on the link now.
• UPDATE: With Ken Griffey Jr.'s retirement this afternoon, the space in the paper devoted to the following story was turned over to that topic. The story on the link will now run in the S-R Friday morning.
The Spokane Shock are cutting ties with 'The Chainsaw.'
Shock head coach Rob Keefe on Tuesday informed Kevin McCullough, one of the team's most popular players and a 2½-year starter at linebacker, that he will be traded or released. The move comes just days after McCullough's first interception of the season, which he returned for a touchdown in
"It's one of the toughest things I've had to do and I know I'm going to get nailed for doing it, but I just have to do what's best for the team," Keefe said. "Kevin's a great person, but from a coaching standpoint winning is the goal."
McCullough, nicknamed 'The Chainsaw', had 15 interceptions in 2008-09 when the Shock went 37-3 in arenafootball2. He said he was "floored and just completely blindsided" upon hearing the news from Keefe. "I felt honestly a little betrayed by an organization I've done a lot for, not just on the field but off."
Here's a link to the entire article. I'll update this story later today.
As we get closer to the weekend, there will be more Washington State baseball news, of course. But we already have some for you, so read on.
Weather may have been less than ideal, but local athletes still did some impressive things during the state track and field meets, as shown in our final honor roll.
Raul Vijil and Kevin McCullough (pictured above) earned AFL player of the week honors after helping Spokane to a 67-57 win over Jacksonville on Saturday.
Vijil, who had seven touchdown catches, was named the offensive player of the week. The EWU product finished with 11 catches for 130 yards. McCullough earned the catch of the week with a one-handed interception of an Aaron Garcia pass and returned the ball 8 yards for a touchdown. He finished with three tackles.
More below.
The Utah Blaze, off to a 1-6 start with two blowout losses to Spokane, has fired its coaching staff and has a new one in place. The Blaze visit Cleveland on Friday.
More here.
A quick basketball note for you that might affect your Christmas plans. ESPN and the Diamond Head Classic are announcing today the Cougars will fill the eighth and final slot in the field for the Dec. 22 to Dec. 25, 2010 tournament. Hawaii hosts and this year the field will include Butler, Baylor, Florida State, Mississippi State, San Diego and Utah. A pretty darn tough field. As you can imagine, WSU coach Ken Bone is pretty pleased to be invited. UPDATE: We have added a short story on the link along with some football television news.
Shadle Park's next football coach is Alan Stanfield, a former player and assistant at Whitworth who has been the head coach the past two years at Timberline High, a 5A school in Boise. Click here for the story.
Washington State will practice in Pullman today then get on a plane tomorrow for the trip to Arkansas and the NCAA baseball tournament. If the Cougars can survive the four-team regional, they would probably head to Tempe and a super regional showdown with Pac-10 rival ASU (if the Sun Devils win, of course). We have some baseball links and notes for you so read on …

Hey, my stake is on the ground on this one: check out http://www.textuality.com/xml/xmlSW.html - the right answer is XML1.1 - DTDs (& hence entities) +namespaces + Infoset + xml:base ========== XML-SW Which *nobody* will need to subset and *anybody* can build on (with the sole exception of the MathML people, who are stuck with XML 1.* forever because they want names for all their special characters).

It's natural and healthy to gain weight during pregnancy.
In addition to the weight of your baby, there will be increases in blood volume, extra fluid, and increased fat stores as your body prepares for breastfeeding.
INFOGRAPHIC: Pregnancy weight gain – find out where the extra weight comes from
Knowing what to expect in terms of weight gain is important for both the mother and baby's health.
While the amount of weight you gain may vary compared to other women, and will occur at different rates depending on which trimester you are in, there are some general guidelines available.
According to the Institute of Medicine, the ideal change in weight during pregnancy depends on a woman's pre-pregnancy weight.
The following is a helpful guide to what is recommended for weight gain based on pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI).
Pre-pregnancy BMI Ideal weight gain
Less than 18.5 (underweight) 12.5 to 18kg
18.5 to 24.9 (normal weight) 11.5 to 16kg
25 to 29.9 (overweight) 7 to 11.5kg
30 or more (very overweight) At least 7kg
Note - These figure are irrelevant for mothers with twins or multiple births.
BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared. For example, a 75 kg woman who is 1.75 m tall has a BMI of 24.5.
Online pregnancy weight gain calculators can quickly and easily calculate your BMI, and give you an estimate of your expected weight gain during pregnancy.
Dealing with a change in body shape can be a challenge for some women, especially if you are underweight or are very conscious of your weight.
Keeping your weight gain within recommended limits is healthy for your baby.
You shouldn't go on a diet, but rather take sensible steps that will keep your weight under control.
Here are some helpful strategies to help keep your weight under control:

Converts PDF to Word.
Does not maintain layout of PDF. Requires Microsoft Word to be installed. Will not convert if another Office product, such as Kingsoft Writer (an excellent free alternative to Word), is the only one used. I paid for this convertor without knowing that it requires Word. I have now uninstalled it.
DO not bother with it.

The addition of rdf:nodeID is handy, especially from the standpoint of end users new to RDF who balk at creating universal URI identifiers for all their resources. However, using the name "rdf:nodeID" both for the description of the resource and for the reference is inconsistent and confusing. XML has a long history of using "ID" and "IDREF" as names of an identified XML node and the node that refers to it, respectively. Similarly, RDF uses "rdf:about" and "rdf:resource" for the similar concepts based upon resource reference URIs. Can't we make RDF more internally consistent and consistent with XML by using "rdf:nodeID" and "rdf:nodeIDRef", respectively? GarretReceived on Sunday, 12 January 2003 13:00:14 GMT

Possibly the world's first GIF fest
In tech savvy San Francisco, innovation is celebrated with gusto – a trait exemplified by a new event dedicated to the GIF, a digital art form born and perpetuated entirely on the internet.
Running from 11 to13 October, the workshop, screening and party, dubbed UPLOAD: GIF, is the first exhibition of this scale in San Francisco – possibly anywhere in the world – and will turn the Mission Dispatch parking lot, located between the city's Portrero Hill and Mission neighbourhoods, into an animated playground.
Over the last month people have been submitting their own GIFs via an online contest to be judged by a jury of digital artists and curators from local arts institutions such as Yerba Buena Center and San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. GIFs give the illusion of animation, and creative entries include water draining and refilling a mason jar, a cursor moving and clicking on a laptop computer screen, and continuously morphing geometric shapes. The winners will be projected on the walls of the parking lot on Saturday evening, illuminating most surfaces as well as the neighbouring building.
If you're curious about GIFs or want to try your hand at creating your own, classes and seminars from local experts are scheduled on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday evening, visitors can drop by for a free screening of the film Beyond The Fold, which follows the lives of 10 origami artists, projected on the parking lot wall.

A Journey Through DreamsI've had an interest in dreams for a very long time, probably because I always have so many memorable ones, and I've always wanted to keep some sort of record. A lot of times I wake and think, "That was so awesome! I've got to tell somebody!" and then it just kind of stagnates in my brain. To alleviate that I started writing a dream journal a few years ago and even though I haven't kept up with it as much as I should have there is some pretty good stuff in there. Stuff that needs to be said and, well, I did say it but now I realize that just "saying" it wasn't good enough. That wasn't "telling" it. So now I've decided that I'm not going to just keep a dream journal. I'm going to write dream stories.A Journey Through Dreams by SubjugatedSandwich
What follows will be a collection of the contents of my sub-conscious in story form. I'll be writing dreams both old and new. Keep in mind though that dreams are by their nature ethereal, fickle, and volatile. Even though I will be making small adjustmen
The Cowardly Connor Finds Courage in a Can(Part I)Hi! My name is Cheryl and I'm not the main character of this story. That would be Connor Coleson, the kindest, cutest boy who ever lived. Me? Well, I used to be his neighbor until I was murdered by the meanest man you could meet, Sheriff Fritz Fitzpatrick, who just so happens to be Connor's other neighbor. That's a story for another day though. Today I want to tell you about Connor and the time he found his courage.The Cowardly Connor Finds Courage in a Can(Part I) by SubjugatedSandwich
By the time this story begins I had already been dead for quite awhile and had taken to following Connor everywhere he went. As a ghost you don't have many options. It's either stay with your body or stay with the thing you loved most and I certainly wasn't sticking around to see what would happen to my body. The day he finally found it (courage, not my body) did not begin like any other day. He awoke to find a chicken asleep on his chest.
"There is a chicken on my chest," he declared. The chicken blearily blinked in agreement, stood, and promptly pecked Connor on the
ImagineImagine that you're standing stillImagine by SubjugatedSandwich
In darkness and in silence.
All is calm in solitude
and nothing stirs at all.
And then with sudden violence
comes a roaring and a grinding
and the quiet you thought binding
ends abruptly and you're finding
that with each breath you're seeing depths
of worlds before their sudden deaths.
A blast of color, light, and sound
and suddenly your looking down
to see the ground is growing grass,
grass like blades of sharpened glass
moving up and moving fast
growing upwards through your soles
pricking, slicing, making holes
running, sliding through your veins
imparting unimagined pain
and ecstasy with each refrain.
It builds and rips from frightened lips
a swirling cloud of dust and light
that rises sparkling in the night
gently flowing, softly glowing
and empty find that you are calming
silence once again embalming
as embers cloaked in darkness fall.
The Man You KnewWith a backward glanceThe Man You Knew by SubjugatedSandwich
you caught me
and stitched your eyes to mine
I never fought
but waited
for you to guess my name.
Your first caress
and lingering breath
delayed with darkling fire
the void that grew between
because you could not guess my name.
A hearth, a home, a hope we shared
and each day saw us through.
Our easy smiles, careless words
were all the secret jest
of the capering thing between us
when you wouldn't guess my name.
You held my hand and held it tight
and wept alone beside me.
As the night grew long
farewells fell short
and you never guessed my name.
Meet me! The procrastinator extraordinaire and purveyor of poetry and maybe even a great writer one day. (One can only hope.) I love talking to fellow artists and helping in any way I can so feel free to note me or comment. Seriously, I don't care if you think you sound like a goober. Talk to me.
P.S. If you're going to read my journal...it's mostly for dreams and some of those are pretty mature content so be forewarned!

HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- The Maryland State Fire Marshal's Office says a fire that destroyed a Habitat for Humanity home near Hagerstown was intentionally set.
The Herald-Mail newspaper (http://bit.ly/1bIfwIV ) of Hagerstown reports that the fire late Tuesday caused $70,000 worth of damage and displaced the home's occupants.
Habitat for Humanity is a ministry that works with families and volunteers to build homes for the needy.

From left, I.S. 171 students Bryan Herrera, Samuel Ramirez and Jexel DeJesus practice on their own. Andrew Hinderaker for The Wall Street Journal
Along the J and Z subway lines, there are neighborhoods you've likely never been to, or in some cases even heard of.
From Brooklyn's border with Queens into the bowels of the borough, these neighborhoods are the "other" Brooklyn, far removed from the hoopla surrounding the new Nets arena, the $6-plus artisanal ice-cream and promises of a new land.
Cypress Hills is one of them. It's a long, creaky ride to get to this neighborhood on the northeast fringes of Brooklyn, where row houses with satellite dishes press up against the above-ground train so close you can practically see what telenovela they're watching inside.
Here you will find I.S. 171, a middle school where more than 90% of students are eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch and more than 20% have limited English skills. Just 2% of the student population is white. The student performance on recent English and math tests was dismal.
There are few frills in the drab building housing nearly 900 students in grades six through eight, but the students have had one perk after-school for the past three years: a band. Well, that ended this year, and so members of the two groups that ran the music program launched a "Save the Band!" fundraising campaign on Sept. 21.
Their charge: raising $38,000 in 38 days. So far they've raised about $5,500 online, out of a target of $15,000.

The hope is that they'll raise another $23,000 from a benefit comedy—the Talent Show Brand Variety Show—at the Bell House in Park Slope on Oct 2. The organizers have offered to donate all proceeds to the band.
It may seem unusual that a middle school doesn't offer musical instruction or support a band during school. Sadly, it's not. Music—and more broadly the arts—is something that's often among the first on the chopping block during tough times.
According to the city's Annual Arts in Schools Report, just 35% of responding multi-grade schools offered at least one sequence of music instruction to students in grades six through eight in the 2010-11 school year.
And while some city schools are fortunate enough to be cushioned from budget cuts by affluent parents who raise hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to subsidize their children's educations, many are not.
At I.S. 171, the music program is part of a broad after-school program run by the Cypress Hills Local Development Corp. The music component is run with the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.
Some 30 to 35 students took advantage of the program, being taught by professional musicians from the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music's Music Partners program. And a select handful of those students receive scholarships for a teen jazz program at the Conservatory's Park Slope home on Saturdays.
"The I.S. 171 program is really special to us because the kids have so little music during the rest of their day," says Dorothy Savitch, director of the Music Partners program. "There are a lot of challenges at that school….There are attendance issues. There are behavioral issues. And we really hope that the presence of this musical program with professional musicians really helps a lot of the kids and gives them a focus and direction."
The local development corporation had to cut the music part of the after-school program this year due to decreased state funding. And so the instruments—which most students use on loan from the school—collect dust in a closet.
"In this community there's no music teachers, there's no conservatory, there's no other place where people can go to get music instruction in Cypress Hills/East New York," says Robert Abbot, director of youth and family services at the local development corporation.
At the school, the students are disappointed but hopeful that the band will be revived.
Jeremy Pineda, a quiet 11-year-old who picked the trombone because "it made a lot of noise," says he was sad when he learned that the music lessons were gone.
"I really like going to band," says Jeremy.
Bryan Herrera, a 12-year-old who is one of the students who attends the weekend program, also plays the trombone. He says he practices every day except Sundays.
And Rosie Perez, a spitfire of a girl who plays the flute, says she's "really good."
"I was kind of upset," says Rosie, who is 11. "I wanted to keep going on. I was thinking, 'Like why not?'"
On a recent day at the school, the students dusted off the instruments and tested them out, admittedly a bit rusty after a summer off.
Jessica DeJesus, whose two sons attend the school, says she had signed up her son, who was beginning sixth grade, to take music lessons, and was hoping her older son would be able to continue with the drums.
"It's awesome, keeping the kids out of the street," she says.
Her older son, Jexel, who is in his last year of middle school, wonders if not this year, when else will he be able to play the drums again?

John 20:27-28 Then [Jesus] said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe." Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
Faith is "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). The light of Christ is available to us but not yet fully revealed. There are divine mysteries we don't yet comprehend. We wait in hope for God to complete our love and understanding. In the meantime, we may face occasions of confusion or doubt. At times, our most authentic prayer may be "I believe, help my unbelief!" (Mark 9:24).
Thomas was open to faith and eager to believe. He responded from his heart when Jesus came to him: "My Lord and my God!" We may struggle at times, but God doesn't forget us. Watch for the glory of God to appear in darkness. Be ready to respond in faith.

Bathroom Safety
Electrical Products & Bathroom Safety
Bathrooms are considered to be a 'special location' for electrical installations because they have an increased risk of electric shock for the users, due to the proximity of water.
Electrical contractors make bathroom installations as safe as possible with careful adherence to wiring and building regulations, wise choice of equipment and a good 'splash' of common sense (pardon the pun!).
We all know all the sorts of products that can be found in bathrooms, lighting, showers, fans, heaters, shaver sockets and towel rails. But what are the rules for the installation of these products that contractors must follow and can, using certified products, help them comply with the regulations?
The rules: Wiring regulations in the UK: all fixed electrical installations in dwellings must legally comply with BS7671 the 'Requirements for Electrical Installations'. This Standard gives specific guidance on the design, installation, testing, verification and certification of such installations. Section 601, particularly covers 'Locations containing a bath or shower'.
Section 601, divides a bathroom into zones which take into account windows, doors, walls ceilings and partitions and is based on a perceived level of risk zone. Each zone has specific requirements regarding the electrical equipment that can be used in that zone.
Zone 0: the interior of the bathtub or shower basin.
Zone 1: the area around the bathtub or shower basin up to a height of 2.25m above the floor and at a radius of 1.2m from the water outlet.
Zone 2: is limited by the vertical planes external to zone 1 and parallel vertical plane (s) 0.60m external to zone 1.
Zone 3: is limited to the vertical plane(s) external to zone 2 and the parallel vertical plane(s) 2.40m external to zone 2.
Products for bathrooms
First and foremost, Electrical equipment used in bathrooms must not be adversely influenced by environmental factors. These can include condensation, humidity, steam, drops of water or sprays from showers. There are a number of different indicators relating to electrical products that identify the products safety and suitability for bathroom use.
IP zoning * Zone 0 - Inside the bath or shower. Any fittings used here must be SELV(Separated Extra Low Voltage - max. 12Volts) and have a minimum rating of IPX7(IP67) (protected against immersion in water - total immersion proof);
* Zone 1 - Above the bath or shower to a height if 2.25m. A minimum rating of IPX4(IP44) is required. In this zone, if there is likelihood of water jets being used for cleaning purposes, a minimum of IPX5 is required. Also, subject to IP rating, SELV or 240V luminaires may be used in this zone; if the fitting is 240 volts, a 30mA residual current device (RCD) must also be used to protect the circuit in this zone.
* Zone 2 - The area stretching to 0.6m outside the bath or shower and above the bath or shower if over 2.25m. An IP rating of at least IPX4(IP44) is required. In this zone, if there is likelihood of water jets being used for cleaning purposes, a minimum of IPX5 is required. Also, subject to IP rating, SELV or 240V luminaires may be used in this zone. In addition, it is a good practice to also consider the area around a wash basin (within a 60cm radius of any tap) as Zone 2.
* Outside the zones - anywhere outside zones 0, 1, and 2. Where water jets are not to be used for cleaning purposes, the general rules of BS7671 apply. Here, there is no requirement for any lighting solutions to be protected against particles or solid objects, e.g. IPX4 - no IP rating required.
IP ratings explained (IP = Ingress Protection)
1. The first digit - protection against ingress of foreign bodies, like: tools, dust, fingers, etc.
2. The second digit - protection against ingress of liquids. Ex. IP44 offers protection against solid objects greater than 1 mm and water sprayed from all directions.
The first digit - protection from foreign bodies
* 0 - no protection from foreign bodies;
* 1 - protected against solid objects greater than 50mm(e.g. accidental touch by hands);
* 2 - protected against solid objects up to 12mm(e.g. fingers);
* 3 - protected against solid objects greater than 2.5mm(e.g. tools and wires);
* 4 - protected against solid objects greater than 1mm(e.g. small tools and wires);
* 5 - protected against dust, limited ingress(e.g. no harmful deposit);
* 6 - totally protected against dust.
The second digit - protection from liquids
* 0 - no protection from liquids;
* 1 - protection against vertically falling drops of water(e.g. condensation);
* 2 - protection against direct sprays of water up to 15 degrees from vertical;
* 3 - protection against direct sprays of water up to 60 degrees from vertical;
* 4 - protection against water sprayed from all directions - limited ingress permitted;
* 5 - protected against low pressure jets of water from all directions - limited ingress permitted; * 6 - protected against high pressure jets of water (use on ship deck) - limited ingress permitted; * 7 - protected against the effects of immersion between 15cm and 1m;
* 8 - protected against long periods of immersion under pressure.
Although there are numerous combinations of IP ratings, the most common ones are: IP67, IP65, IP44, IP20.
For specially IP rated luminaires you will find each product clearly marked with its IP rating PLUS the highest zone in which it can be installed.
Because Safety certification for domestic electrical equipment is based on the successful completion of a full set of tests against the appropriate electrical standards and has the requirement for factory inspection and ongoing product surveillance, contractors can feel particularly confident in the continued safety of certified goods.
Particularly, as these items have had to undergo specific test programmes related to their performance in damp and wet environments.
The products
As well as looking for independent product safety certification marks, common sense and the wiring regulations further govern the choice of products.
i) Lighting
Many manufacturers do not get lighting products certified by a third party, but electrical contractors are required to look for an appropriate IP rated product (recommended IPX4 or above).
If the luminaire has a cord pull switch and is compliant to BS 3676, these are not normally IP rated but can be installed in Zone 3. Some types of lights can be installed in Zone 0 (specifically for use in shower enclosures) but they must be 12V SELV.
If a bathroom is big enough to have an area outside of zone 3 then portable appliances are permitted in the bathroom but they must be plugged in outside the bathroom and their flex must not enable them to be used in zone 3. Similarly, if a user is likely to plug their appliance into a socket outside the bathroom in the hall or landing, the installer should try and position that socket far enough away from the bathroom that the likely length of flex on the appliance will not enable it to be used inside zone 3.
Simply reducing the length of a flex on a product could contribute to reducing the risk of a product being used in a bathroom - further ensuring the safety of end users.

Spencer: My Marriage to Heidi 'Was a Show'
Now that Spencer Pratt is officially divorced from Heidi Montag he isn't holding back about the details of their now-dead marriage.
In a surprisingly frank statement, Spencer said that while he loves Heidi their marriage was just for The Hills. Spencer's admission probably explains why when The Hills ended the two decided to call it quits.
From People:
I love Heidi but our marriage was a show – it was part of The Hills world...and that world is on a sound stage.
Spencer also said that the reason behind the split was to help Heidi's image as "a motion picture actor/pop star" who is "a single sex symbol for the world." Hey, a gal's got to have goals, right?
While Spencer readily admits that his marriage (and possibly divorce) from Heidi was all for press, he doesn't clarify if the two are still seeing each other. Friends of Spencer and Heidi have been reporting that the two are living together and have been acting like a normal couple–not a couple who recently divorced.
While the marriage may have been all for show, are the two fame-hungry reality stars still putting us on about their relationship status?

Earlier this summer, the Justice Department released to the public a trove of old Office of Legal Counsel memos. My Atlantic colleague Conor Friedersdorf already has discovered them and written about the eternally regrettable OLC memo justifying the ignoble fate of Japanese Americans in 1942 as well as a 1937 memorandum in which an otherwise forgettable administration lawyer (Golden W. Bell) courageously (and correctly!) told President Franklin Roosevelt that he couldn't censor a foreign speech by the ill-fated Leon Trotsky.
Let me now add my voice to Conor's chorus. These memos are pure gold if you like history, or law, or politics, or some combination of the three. Here's how the Justice Department explained what they are and why they seem so relevant today:
Writings of OLC and its predecessors date back to 1933, but OLC did not begin publishing its opinions until January 1977. In this first volume of a new supplemental series, OLC is publishing a number of opinions written between 1933 and 1977. The volume includes at least one opinion from each Assistant Attorney General during that era, and several from former Chief Justice William Rehnquist and current Associate Justice Antonin Scalia.
Many of the opinions address legal issues related to significant historical events, including presidential action during World War II, the blockade of Cuba, U.S. incursions into Cambodia during the Vietnam War, and Watergate. And many involve legal issues that continue to have great relevance today, including appointment and removal of executive branch officers, executive privilege, the use of military force, and presidential control of communications during wartime.
Not only are these memos fascinating on their merits (see below), they also tell us a great deal about the way high officials spoke the language of the law back in the day -- and how that language has changed over the generations. The older memos tend to be shorter and much more succinct. The later memos tend to be longer -- just like the Supreme Court decisions they occasionally generated. Here are my five favorites (in no particular order) of true '"first drafts of history":
1. Use of Marshals, Troops and Other Federal Personnel for Law Enforcement in Mississippi (July 1, 1964)
Here one of the unsung heroes of the civil rights movement -- Nicholas Katzenbach, in his capacity as deputy attorney general -- is giving President Johnson cogent advice about the "practical" problems inherent in sending federal troops to the Deep South in the heat of the fight against racial segregation. Send in the FBI, Katzenbach argues, but don't send in the troops. Much of what Katzenbach told the White House -- and, remember, this was nearly one year before the August 1965 passage of the Voting Rights Act -- was based upon his first-hand observations of Southern intransigence. The introduction of federal authority into the South could both create and halt chaos -- and the feds knew it. From the memo:
There is another practical problem, however, which is the crux of the matter. The experience of the Department in the Oxford, Mississippi, crisis and in the several disturbances in Alabama convinced all those who participated that the most crucial factor in maintaining law and order in a community gripped by racial crisis is the support of state and local law enforcement officers. If they are clearly determined to support law and order, the prospects of violence are considerably reduced. If they encourage violence or abdicate responsibility for law enforcement functions, violence on a substantial scale is virtually certain to occur and the possibility of maintaining order by any means short of the use of federal troops becomes negligible.
Once local law enforcement ceases to function in any sizable area, the number of personnel required to maintain control without the actual use of weapons exceeds the manpower resources of every branch of the federal service except the military. It is essential, therefore, to encourage state and local law enforcement agencies to carry out their responsibilities and, if at all possible, to avoid using federal personnel in such a way so as to provide an excuse for abandonment of responsibility by such agencies. If marshals or agents of the Bureau are used in any obvious way as guards in Mississippi, without the active support and cooperation of local officials, local law enforcement will tend to break down.
This is not merely because local officials resent the intervention of outsiders, although that is an obvious factor. The fact is that in Mississippi the use of federal law enforcement personnel, particularly marshals, is regarded by the public as provocative and might well give rise to more breaches of the peace than would otherwise occur. Particularly if the civil rights workers involved engage in demonstrations and other mass activities while accompanied by marshals, their function will soon cease to be one of preventing clandestine violence and become one of maintaining public order among considerable numbers of people over a large area. In that situation, our experience is that without the support of local officials the maintenance of order requires the use of troops.

Delete Old Network Adapters/SSID Names
I have a minor problem that bothers me. I am running Windows 7 Professional. The name of my wireless network is "dd-wrt," but when I am connected it says I am connected to "dd-wrt 2." Obviously, the computer remembers connecting to dd-wrt in the past, but something has changed since then (maybe the password?), so it has had to name the new connection "dd-wrt 2." I can't find where I can get rid of the original dd-wrt, so it will not let me rename the "dd-wrt 2" to just "dd-wrt"
Also, I have a similar problem with my network connection. In the network connections list, it lists my Ethernet connection, bluetooth connection, and wireless connection 3. If I try to rename the "wireless connection 3" to just wireless connection, it says it cannot be renamed because that name already exist. This connection is not listed anywhere I can find, even when doing a search. How can I find the "Wireless Connection" and "Wireless Connection 2" so I can delete them and rename my "Wireless Connection 3?"
|My System Specs
|11 Oct 2010
Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8.1 Pro,
Go to Network and Sharing Center then look upper left side and choose "manage wireless connections" you can rename or adjust the SSID for each wireless connection there.
You can get rid of the extra wireless adaptors by going into Control Panel>Device Manager, go to "view" then choose "show hidden devices" after that go to network adaptors and you should be able to delate any extra network adaptor entries.
