DATE & TIME: Saturday, December 1, 3 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: ASU Stadium (30,406) -- Jonesboro, Arkansas. Television: ESPN3. Home Record: MT 3-2, ASU 4-1. Away Record: MT 5-1, ASU 4-2. Neutral Record: MT 0-0, ASU 0-0. Conference Record: MT 6-1, ASU 6-1. Series Record: Middle Tennessee leads, 9-4.
GAME NOTES: It will be winner take all at ASU Stadium this Saturday as the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders and Arkansas State Red Wolves square off with the Sun Belt Conference championship on the line.
Although it was not planned, this contest will serve as the SBC Championship as Middle Tennessee and Arkansas State are tied at the top of the conference standings with one loss each. This will be the 14th time these schools square off on the gridiron. Middle Tennessee holds a 9-4 edge in the all-time series, but the Red Wolves picked up a 45-19 victory in last season's edition of the rivalry.
Middle Tennessee improved to 8-3 overall last week with a hard-fought 24-21 win over Troy. The victory was the fourth in a row for the Blue Raiders, who finished last season with a dismal 2-10 overall record. Although Middle Tennessee is on the road in this one, it may play to its favor as it has compiled a 5-1 away record this season, which is the most it has ever had under coach Rick Stockstill.
The Red Wolves had last week off after notching their sixth win in a row with a 41-34 victory at Troy on Nov. 17. Arkansas State enters the contest with an identical 8-3 overall record and a 6-1 mark in SBC action as well. Coach Gus Malzahn has done a tremendous job in his first season at the helm of the program. The reigning SBC Champions became bowl eligible for the fifth time in the last eight years earlier this season.
Middle Tennessee's offense was much more explosive earlier in the season as it surpassed the 30-point plateau six times during an eight-game stretch. However, the team produced only 44 total points in its last two outings. Last week, the offense got help from three field goals and a defensive score.
Logan Kilgore has done a great job under center for the Blue Raiders' offensive unit. The junior QB is among the conference leaders in completion percentage (.628) and efficiency rating (145.0). He has thrown for 2,457 yards, 16 touchdowns, and just four picks.
The Blue Raiders lost their dynamic running back Benjamin Cunningham (600 yards, 11 TDs) after just five games, but freshman Jordan Parker (637 yards, two TDs) may have been the best option to start all along. Parker rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries yards a week ago to extend his streak of game with 100 yards or more on the ground to three. He also made three receptions for 72 yards to help the team survive its duel with Troy.
Anthony Amos has been one of the most consistent wide receivers in the SBC this season. After finishing with 379 yards and three TDs on 27 catches in 20122 as a junior, he has produced a breakout season with 68 receptions for 960 yards and nine TDs. He is second in the conference in receiving yards per game and third in catches per contest.
The MT defense (26.5 ppg, 434.4 ypg) has been sporadic all year. However, the unit has come up clutch down the stretch. The Blue Raiders have recorded 15 takeaways over the last four games, including Kevin Byard's fourth quarter interception which he returned 77 yards for the go-ahead score in last week's bout with Troy. Byard forced three turnovers in the contest. Allen Craig leads the team with 82 total tackles.
During its current six-game win streak, Arkansas State has put up 34 points or more in every game. It has the highest scoring offense in the Sun Belt with an average of 35.6 ppg. The team came up just five yards shy of eclipsing the 600-yard mark in total yards of offense for the third time this season two weeks ago versus Troy.
Ryan Aplin earned his second consecutive SBC Offensive Player of the Week after recording a school-record 454 yards of total offense in the Red Wolves� win over the Trojans. The senior leads the SBC in passing yards with 3,270,yards and he has thrown 20 to just four interceptions. He has passed for 300 yards or more in three-straight games and also found his targets for scores eight times during that span.
David Oku (922 yards) has been at the center of the team's fantastic rushing attack that has racked up more than 2,335 yards. Oku's 14 rushing touchdowns are the most in the conference. Rocky Hayes has been potent on limited touches, with an incredible 429 yards on just 38 carries for 11.3 yards per carry.
J.D. McKissic is the top option for Aplin in the passing attack. The wideout has reeled in 84 receptions for 849 yards and four TDs. The second most frequent receiver for ASU is Josh Jarboe, who has made 45 catches for 531 yards and three touchdowns. Julian Jones is the team's top red zone threat as his team-leading total of six touchdown grabs accounts for half of his receptions.
The Red Wolves are ranked fourth in the SBC in total defense (403.2 ypg) and third in scoring defense (27.7 ppg). The unit allowed 518 yards of total offense to Troy its last time out, but luckily it was bailed out by Aplin and the offense.
Nathan Herrold is well on his way to an All-Sun Belt campaign with 99 tackles, eight tackles for loss, two interceptions, and two fumble recoveries. Tim Starson has recorded team-highs in both tackles for loss (12) and sacks (4.5).
Although Middle Tennessee's defense bailed it out last week, that was only possible due to the errors of the Trojans' offense. Arkansas State has a leader that simply does not make errant throws or poor decisions. Aplin should be able to end his Sun Belt Conference career with another championship unless Kilgore produces a career performance with it all on the line.

NICK PAWSON reports on a 32-17 bonus-point victory for the Reds in Melbourne which sees them top the Australian conference.
The first quarter was fairly evenly contested. Both sides looked fresh and feisty, with James O'Connor (thanks to his new boy-band haircut) making an early break to get the Rebels within 5m of the Reds' tryline. Nothing came of it, and so was to be the story of the Rebels' night.
Wallabies No 8 Scott Higginbotham was caught not rolling away in the tackle, allowing O'Connor to get the first points on the board in the 14th minute. This seemed to spark a momentum shift. Winger Chris F'sautia (who was a late replacement for an ill Digby Ioane) went over in the left corner for the Reds three minutes later for the first try.
Centre Mike Harris followed up his conversion with a penalty and soon the Reds were 10-3 up and looking dangerous.
After 27 minutes, Dom Shipperley finished off a 75-metre backline run, inspired by a crafty chip-and-gather from Harris. The Reds continued to apply pressure, who were gaining the edge in the set phases and were using their backline at will. Cooper ducked and dived from five metres out to help lock Adam Wallace-Harrison over the line in the 36th minute, aided by a dire defensive effort from the Rebels.
O'Connor and Kurtley Beale marshaled a Rebels fightback just before the half-time hooter, but the Reds forced two turnovers in a matter of minutes to keep the score at 24-3 at the interval.
Five minutes into the second half, O'Connor left the field with a hamstring injury and was replaced by Julian Huxley. Ironically, the Rebels backline then seemed to play with more cohesion. After the Rebels squandered another opportunity to score 5m out, a string of phases was finally rounded off when Beale went under the posts in the 56th minute.
After 60 minutes the Rebels were leading the territory and possession stats – handling and phase-play had vastly improved as the home side began to launch their fightback. A brilliant break by flanker Hugh Perret saw replacement Lachie Mitchell cross the line for the Rebels, the subsequent conversion getting them within 10 points.
Beale was immense for the home side, particularly after O'Connor's exit – getting over the advantage line on numerous occasions and providing clean offloads.
But, the Reds were not quite done, choosing an attacking 5m scrum with minutes to go as they campaigned for a bonus point to pip the Brumbies at the top of the Australian conference. And they got it, with replacement Nick Frisby touching down just inside the corner flag.
Again the Rebels mustered up another late surge and Mark Gerrard looked sure to score, but was bundled out in the corner seconds before the final whistle. A sad end for Huxley and Stirling Mortlock who played their final home game for the Melbourne franchise.
The Reds need the Force to deny the Brumbies any log points in Perth on Saturday if the Queenslanders want to remain in their new post as conference leaders.

Dana Outlaw was sworn in as New Bern mayor Tuesday night, replacing Mayor Lee Bettis in a crowded chamber of City Hall.
Three new board members — Dallas Blackiston, Ward 1; Jeffrey Odham, Ward 6; and Patricia Schaible Ward 3 — also were sworn in along with incumbent Aldermen Johnnie Ray Kinsey of Ward 4, Bernard White of Ward 5 and Victor Taylor of Ward 2.
After being sworn in by N.C. Supreme Court Justice Cheri Beasley, Outlaw thanked everyone for supporting him.
The chamber at City Hall was packed with people and some were standing outside the room in the doorway.
Outlaw said during the mayoral race he talked to people throughout the city and he got one common message: Everyone loved the city "dearly." He said his pastor reiterated that to him Tuesday and reminded him to be respectful and true to the leadership of the Board of Aldermen.
Aldermen Sabrina Bengel, who lost to Outlaw in the November mayoral runoff, left the board congratulating him and then saying she wished he would have contacted her and the other candidates in the race and asked how they could work together.
"To Mayor Outlaw, your dream has come true and may I offer my sincere congratulations and best wishes for a successful four-year term," she said.
Bengel said she and Outlaw were close friends once, raising their children together and being there for one another during hard times with family issues and good times like when they both were elected to the Board of Aldermen in 2009.
"I remember the hundreds of phone calls we exchanged during those years, talking about making the city we both love better," she said. "What happened? I guess it was politics because after being elected in 2009 something went wrong and to this day I will never understand why you chose the path you did. It is your right and for that I am sorry that a 33-year friendship has ended."
Toward the end of her statement, there was an audible grumble in the audience.
Before her comments to Outlaw, Bengel thanked the people of Ward 1 for electing her to the Board of Aldermen four years ago. Ward 1 was the most diverse and challenging ward in the city with some of the richest and poorest neighborhoods that included a historical district, two waterfronts, the Housing Authority and business districts, she said.
For the last four years, Bengel said she had worked tirelessly to prepare for each meeting and know the issues. She said her decisions were never made with a political agenda, but were made in the best interest of New Bern and the majority of citizens.
"It was my hope that I would be part of the team four years ago that would work for this end and not a political end as it turned out," Bengel said. "We did, however, accomplish many goals that I am proud to have been a part of."
Some of those goals included improving the city's fiscal health, making the city more personable and friendlier, improving transparency, restructuring the Housing Authority, working on the Renaissance Gateway Plan and providing 150 parking spaces downtown.
Bengel said it has been an honor working with city staff and a privilege working with Mike Epperson, city manager, and Bettis.
To the outgoing Board of Aldermen, Bengel said her intentions on the board were to do the right thing and make the city better and if some of the members didn't believe that she was sorry.
"My hope is the 'gotcha politics' will change in the coming term and you will openly discuss your concerns and issues instead of going behind closed doors with rumors and innuendoes…," she said.
In outgoing Alderman Denny Bucher's final statement, he said family and friends used to ask him if he enjoyed his time as a New Bern alderman.
"I don't think 'enjoying' is the correct word," Bucher said. "There were times when it was most enjoyable. But there were also times when it was frustrating — lots of those; a bunch of times when it was satisfying, and we accomplished a lot of our goals."
Bucher said he was glad he had the experience as an alderman for Ward 3.
"It was a piece of cake compared to the First Ward," he said. "I was glad I had the opportunity to see how our government works, or in some cases, it doesn't work. It is a lot different than business. There are many parallels, but there are also many differences."
In business, you decided what you want to do and do it, unlike government where you have to vote over and over to accomplish something, Bucher said.
"It can be frustrating at times," he said. "But I did my best to try to always vote and serve in a way that was best for the city of New Bern — the city I love."
Bucher wished the best for Outlaw and the new board and was sure they would serve the city in an honorable way.
Bettis read proclamations as his final gesture as mayor, praising city staff and Epperson, whose last Board of Aldermen meeting also was Tuesday before his resignation takes effect Dec. 30. Bettis called the staff and Epperson "a dream team" that helped move the city forward for the past four years.
Bettis' proclamation to Bucher pronounced him an esteemed and honored citizen of New Bern, and he also proclaimed Bengel and her family honored citizens of New Bern.
The last proclamation Bettis bestowed went to his wife Nicole, who he married during his first year as mayor. He thanked her for her support and direction and proclaimed Dec. 10 Nicole Leigh Bettis Day.
Bettis also pulled minutes from past Board of Aldermen meetings that date back to 1797, and said the Tuesday night meeting would become a part of that legacy and the board needed to be aware of that.
The last four years were "absolutely transformational," Bettis said. "…We didn't always get along. But we did exactly what democracy is there for."
Bettis said the changing of the Board of Aldermen and mayor was a "bloodless revolution" unique to America that happens every four years.
"There's going to be winners and there is going to be losers and there's going to be a change of ideologies," he said. "Dana has a different ideology from me, and I had a different ideology than my predecessor, and that's OK."
A change of ideology creates fear, nervousness and anxiety, but doesn't have to, Bettis said.
"Dana is going to come in with new ideas and it's going to be fearful," he said. "I came in with new ideas and it scared the hell out of lot of people."
During the next four years, Bettis said everyone should "agree to disagree with respect" and treat Outlaw with the respect his office is due.
He said battles may need to be fought for something believed in.
"But in the end, let's shake hands," he said. "Let's say I respect your effort and let's move on."

Microsoft is committed to responsible intellectual property management, including the creation of a healthy patent ecosystem around the world that promotes and encourages innovation. One component of a well-functioning patent system is clarity around what entity is the real party in interest for a particular patent. Increased transparency around ownership reduces the likelihood of opportunistic behavior and gamesmanship by patent holders and helps facilitate licensing.
To demonstrate our commitment to transparency, published below is a list that includes to the best of our knowledge all issued patents that Microsoft currently owns, either directly or through subsidiaries, along with a tool for assisting in review of the list. The list includes worldwide issued patents that Microsoft has filed and prosecuted, as well as patents that we have acquired over time. In addition, the list contains some patents that have lapsed but that form a part of our historical portfolio.As Microsoft realigns its core functions we are also realigning our licensing and legal support by forming Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC. Continuing Microsoft's commitment to transparency, Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC will continue to make every patent it holds publicly available via the patent tracker.
This is a reorganization to ensure the appropriate support to business groups and streamline the management of the Microsoft patent assets. This business decision does not change the company's IP commitments or approach to litigation as a last resort. Our commitments to partners, regulators, and standards organizations will not be impacted. Microsoft and its subsidiaries remain committed to responsible intellectual property management.Microsoft generated the list of patent numbers. The related information (Patent Title, Region and Assignee) was procured from the Thomson Reuters IP database. Please note that the list may not include all acquired patents as of the date of posting, as the process of completing our intake of acquired patents takes some time. We plan to update the list periodically to add newly issued and acquired patents. For more information, visit the FAQ page. You can find more information about the patents in the list in a variety of places. For a US patent, start at the US Patent and Trademark Office's general Patent Search home page and navigate to their Full-Text and Image Database, or view additional information using Public PAIR. A good resource for patents from many countries is the European Patent Office's Espacenet Patent Search site (which includes a training course). For more information about a patent from another country, contact or visit the web site of the patent-granting authority in that location. Compiling and updating this information is a non-trivial exercise. Microsoft has used and will continue to use our best efforts to compile and make available this information, but nonetheless some errors may exist. If you notice any errors, please contact us and we will correct them in a timely fashion.
In order to facilitate review and analysis of the list, we are publishing it in two ways.
Provided here is a link to a file containing the list of Microsoft-owned patents in a platform-independent "comma-separated values" (CSV) format.
Last Updated on 12/11/2014
This file can be downloaded, manipulated, and viewed in any application that can display text. To filter or search using the file, open it in an application that can interpret CSV data, e.g., Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. If using Excel, double-click the downloaded file to open it in Excel.

Gant is a build tool for scripting Ant tasks using Groovy instead of XML to specify the build logic. A Gant build specification is a Groovy script and so can bring all the power of Groovy to bear directly, something not possible with Ant scripts. Whilst it might be seen as a competitor to Ant, Gant uses Ant tasks for many of the actions, so Gant is really an alternative way of doing builds using Ant, but using a programming language rather than XML to specify the build rules.
Here is an example Gant script:
In this script there are two targets, stuff and otherStuff -- the default target for this build is designated as stuff and is the target run when Gant is executed from the command line with no target as parameter.
Targets are closures so they can be called as functions, in which case they are executed as you expect, or they can be dependencies to other targets by being parameters to the depends function, in which case they are executed if an only if they have not been executed already in this run. (There is a page with some more information on Targets.)
You may be wondering about the stuff at the beginning of the script. Gant has two ways of using pre-built sub-scripts, either textual inclusion of another Gant script or the inclusion of a pre-compiled class. The example here shows the latter -- the class gant.targets.Clean is a class that provides simple clean capabilities.
The default name for the Gant script is build.gant, in the same way that the default for an Ant build script in build.xml.
Gant provides a way of finding what the documented targets are:
The messages on this output are exactly the strings associated with the target name in the introduction to the target.
Gant can build and install itself to an existing Groovy installation and is being used for various build tasks including building Groovy and Java programs, static websites, LaTeX documents. The ability to have arbitrary Groovy methods within the build scripts makes a Gant build script so much easier to work with that the mix of XML and Groovy scripts that using Ant necessitates. But then maybe this is an issue of individual perception. But then Gant is not about replacing Ant, it is about having a different way of working with the tasks and infrastructure that Ant provides.
Some pages providing more details:
Gant is currently at version 1.2.0, it requires Groovy version 1.0 or later. The following downloads are available:
There is a file README_Install.txt in the distribution.
The jar and pom have been uploaded to the Codehaus Maven repository, the groupId is org.codehaus.gant, the artifactId is gant and the version is 1.2.0.
Users who are using Groovy from Subversion Trunk or a 1.6 beta may want to use:
Debian users (almost certainly also Ubuntu users) can install Gant using the usual package management system. Lenny (testing) has Gant 1.1.1 http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gant as does Sid (unstable) http://packages.debian.org/sid/gant, both are dependent on Groovy which in both distributions is 1.5.4.
An old Ubuntu/Debian package of Gant 1.0.2 for Groovy 1.5 is available: Deb
Ealier distributions are available at http://dist.codehaus.org/gant/distributions as are snapshots of the next release, if available.
If you would prefer to work with the version in the Groovy Subversion repository, you can get a copy usaing Subversion by:
Bazaar, Git and SVK have mechanisms for mirroring a Subversion repository, and are known to work well. In particular, there is a maintained Bazaar branch at:
Gant is the main tool for working with the Gant checkout, but (obviously the first time you want to install Gant from a checkout there is no Gant to build and install Gant. To cover this situation there is an Ant build script for bootstrapping.
If you give it a go and have some feedback, do let me know either on the Gant User mailing list or perhaps the Groovy User mailing list, or by direct email to me firstname.lastname@example.com
BTW Gant is not a toy, it is used for task management in Grails! In fact there is a very nice page on the Grails site showing how Gant scripts can be used in Grails.
If you have any issues with Gant then please add a JIRA issue into the Gant JIRA at Codehaus. The URL is http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Miami University senior Jarrod Eick and freshman Peter Stefanski had strong showings at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds Saturday, but not quite enough to make the NCAA Championships, as the duo was the final members of the men's track and field team to compete this season. A record seven RedHawks took part in the East Prelims over the weekend, which were held at North Carolina A&T State University's Irwin Belk Track at Aggie Stadium.
Eick (Hartville, Ohio) placed 20th in the 1500m quarterfinals in his final race as a RedHawk, as he clocked 3:51.58. He qualified for the quarterfinals Thursday by recording a personal-best time of 3:44.12, which was the sixth-fastest time in the first round though he was seeded 21st due to automatic qualifiers in slower heats. He was originally seeded 36th (out of 48) entering the first round, as he improved 16 spots on the weekend. Last year, Eick placed 37th in the NCAA 1500m first round. The 2013 Mid-American Conference champion in the 1500m was the lone MAC runner in this year's quarterfinals, however only the top five from each of the two quarterfinal heats and the two next best times advanced to the NCAA Championships. Notre Dame's Jeremy Rae posted the top quarterfinal time among the 12 qualifiers in 3:39.92.
Stefanski (Aurora, Ill.), who entered the East Prelims seeded 40th in the high jump with a clearance of 2.10m/6-10.75, matched his qualifying height in the first round. He failed to clear the bar just once en route to topping 2.10m, which tied him for 20th in the 48-man field, improving on his seed by 20 places. He tied for ninth out of 24 in his flight (the first of two), while the top 12 finishers between the two flights advanced to the NCAA Championships. Among the four MAC high jumpers at the East Prelims, Stefanski was the top finisher, while four jumpers tied for first overall, topping 2.17m/7-1.5 on their first attempt. All NCAA Championships qualifiers cleared at least 2.14m/7-0.25.
With all seven RedHawks having completed competition at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds, Miami's 2013 season is now complete.

Swansboro's Morgan Sheehan and
Sheehan, a senior first baseman and right fielder, made the N.C. Softball Coaches Association 2-A all-state team for the third consecutive season while Byrd, a junior pitcher and third baseman, was named to the team for the second straight year.
Both players were key in their teams qualifying for the NCHSAA playoffs this past season.
"I didn't know I was going to make it, but I'm glad I did," Sheehan said. "It is a great honor. It shows how hard I worked and it is a great way to end my senior year."
"Makayla was a great asset and she is a tremendous person who is just fun to be around," he said. "She led us in just about everything. We wouldn't have been half of what we were if we didn't have her."
Byrd and Sheehan were two of eight area players named to the 2-A all-state team.
Northside sophomore pitcher Hunter Halford and Richlands junior center fielder Mariah McCahan also made the team. All of the local 2-A all-state players made the first team of The Daily News all-area team.
No local players made the 1-A or 3-A all-state teams.
Sheehan hit .333, scored 20 runs and was one of Swansboro's top fielders, helping the Pirates to the fourth playoff seed from the East Central Conference.
"I was very happy with how this season went. I don't think it was my best season, but it definitely was one of my best seasons," Sheehan said. "It was a great senior year. For the first time, I had a home run. It was an inside-the-park home run when we played at
Sheehan, who will play tennis at North Carolina-Pembroke, was also one of the Pirates' leaders.
"It was a challenging season, but the three seniors tried to help the coaches since they were new," Sheehan said. "We tried to stay positive and help everybody out."
Meanwhile, Byrd was 10-5 with a 3.23 earned run average and 93 strikeouts as a pitcher to help the Panthers to a 15-9 overall mark. She also hit .458 with 34 RBIs and scored 22 runs.
"Makayla started the season splitting between pitcher and third base, but we lost our other pitcher and we had to rely on her a lot," Jenkins said. "You can play her anywhere. She's smart enough to play anywhere."
Byrd's all-state teammates also had solid seasons.
Williams hit .371, scored 24 runs and had nine stolen bases while Craft hit .419 with 22 RBIs and scored 21 runs.
For Swansboro, Watkins hit .362 with 19 RBIs and 22 runs while Simpson batted .377 with 17 RBIs and 19 runs.
Halford was just 4-14, but sported a 2.86 ERA and led the area with 204 strikeouts. She also hit .490 with 15 runs, including four home runs. McCahan hit .423 with 20 RBIs and 15 runs.

Lindenwoods Blocks Men's Volleyball Picking Up 3-0 Sweep over Falcons
February 23, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Visiting Lindenwood used 13 total team blocks to help secure a 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 26-24) victory over host Pfeiffer University in non-conference mens volleyball action on Saturday afternoon. The Lions improve to 8-6 overall while the Falcons drop to 8-5.
The Lions would grab an early 4-3 lead in set one on a kill from Colin Hackworth (Dublin, OH) and not look back. Kills by Eric Edelman (Henrietta, NY) and Micah Bortner (Dallastown, PA) would bring the Falcons back to within two midway through the set while both got the deficit down to just one at 16-15. Three-straight attack errors by the Falcons would provide the final margin for Lindenwood as Hackworth eventually put down the final kill of the set for a 1-0 match lead.
The middle set saw the Lions bolt out to a 17-12 lead on a Michael Adams (St. Louis, MO) ace and error by the Falcons. An ace by Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) and killer by Fabio Diniz (Belo Horizonte, BRAZIL) would get Pfeiffer within three at 22-19 before getting to 23-21 on back-to-back putdowns from Edelman and Diniz. A final kill by Adams and another attack miscue by the Falcons aided Lindenwood in their 25-21 set two final.
Set three needed extra points to decide the outcome as a Diniz kill and Lindenwood error forced a Lions timeout with a slim 23-22 lead. A pair of Lindenwood errors would keep Pfeiffer in the match on two different match points until a final attack error by the Falcons finished off the sweep for the Lions.
Adams and Hackworth each led the Lions with eight kills on the day while Brophy had a match-high nine for the Falcons. Neither team would hit very well in the afternoon matinee while Lindenwood used their 13-9 blocking advantage with six solo blocks to provide the difference.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Tuesday night hosting King inside the Merner Gym at 7:00 p.m. Live stats/video will be available courtesy of http://www.gofalconsports.com.

000 WTPZ42 KNHC 221447 TCDEP2 POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE POLO DISCUSSION NUMBER 26 NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL EP172014 800 AM PDT MON SEP 22 2014 Polo has been absent of any organized deep convection for more than 12 hours. Although a few sporadic showers have developed since 0900 UTC over the western half of the circulation, strong east- southeasterly shear and unfavorable thermodynamic factors should inhibit any significant return of deep convection. Based on the lack of deep convection for some time, the cyclone is being declared a post-tropical remnant low on this advisory. The initial wind speed estimate presumes some spin-down of the vortex since late yesterday and is lowered to 25 kt on this advisory. Global models shows Polo degenerating into an open trough by 48 hours, and so does the official forecast. Polo has been moving west-southwestward or 250/07. The now-shallow vortex is expected to turn southwestward or south-southwestward on the eastern periphery of a low-level ridge over the subtropical eastern Pacific prior to dissipation. The track forecast is left of much of the guidance, including the multi-model consensus, given the already greater southerly component of motion. For additional information on the remnant low of Polo please see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service...under AWIPS header NFDHSFEPI and WMO header FZPN01 KWBC.

Comments about Guide Series Dining Canopy:
Canopy is extremely difficult to setup and necessitates at least 4 people to hold poles in place while a fifth person ties guidewires down. Once setup, canopy is flimsy and will not withstand even moderate winds. While decently waterproof, difficulty of setup makes this product totally impractical for group sizes smaller than 5. I would not recommend this product to anyone; spend a couple extra dollars and get a canopy which sets up more easily.

Van Eck Mutual Funds
Seasoned investment professionals, sector-dedicated analysts, and creative thinkers are at the heart of our business. Get their perspective on today's market climate.
Muni 2Q 2014 Investment Themes
JIM COLBY: The second quarter of 2014 is likely to differ from last year in a couple of significant ways. We had positive momentum build in the first quarter of 2014; hopefully it will continue. What we may not have to worry about in 2014 is tapering, or the sudden rise of interest rates that occurred last May and June and threw the fixed-income markets into disarray. Now we have a platform where we believe the Federal Reserve is going to modestly adjust its quantitative easing and provide us with a stable platform going forward with respect to interest rates.
Fed Policy
COLBY: What the Fed does in this next quarter matters because of expectations. Fixed-income markets were thrown into disarray last year because of the Fed's prospects of tapering, i.e. the removal of a certain amount of quantitative easing from its policies. What the Fed does here under Janet Yellen in the second quarter of 2014 will go a long way to determine whether we have stability in the fixed-income markets for the remainder of the year. Fed policies are key not only to the United States, but also to global stability in terms of fixed income.
2014 Performance
COLBY: We have good performance on the books so far in 2014 (as of 3/19/2014), and it's a bit of a surprise because we came off of a difficult year in 2013, right up to the end of the calendar year in December. The turnaround was remarkable. Performance has been good in part because cash has returned to mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Supply, the amount of new issues in the municipal marketplace, has been reduced and is down significantly from what we are used to seeing, particularly in the months of February and March. With that backdrop we have already put up some very decent numbers for munis. Furthermore, if the Obama administration is going to leave any kind of a legacy with tax reform or balancing the budget, taxes inevitably are going to be higher, and that means the value of the municipal tax-free coupon will be a dominant theme for investment advisors going into the second half of 2014.
High Yield
COLBY: So far this year (as of 3/19/2014), in addition to general performance gains in the municipal marketplace, high yield has rallied. High yield is rallying for a couple of reasons. Last year assets left the industry and assets left many of the high-yield funds, creating an oversold condition. My view is that going into the end of this first quarter and into the second quarter of 2014, investment advisors and other institutional investors may recognize this oversold position and having looked at the relative valuations of high-yield to investment grade, have concluded that the valuation is there. The yield that's delivered right now in the high-yield spectrum is equivalent, if not greater than, that of any other high-yield product that you're going to find in fixed-income.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose a T-cell lymphoma; sometimes to detect and evaluate residual cancer cells
When to Get Tested?
When a doctor thinks that you may have a T-cell lymphoma; when a doctor would like to assess whether treatment has been effective and/or whether lymphoma has recurred
Sample Required?
A bone marrow, tissue such as a lymph node (biopsy), or body fluid sample collected by your doctor; sometimes a blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test detects characteristic changes (rearrangements) in specific genes in T-cells. This information can be helpful in diagnosing a T-cell lymphoma.
T-cells are a type of lymphocyte (a kind of white blood cell, WBC) that helps to protect the body from infection. Rearrangements in certain parts of their DNA called receptor genes are a normal part of their development. These rearrangements are associated with the development of a large repertoire of diverse T-cells, allowing them to protect against many different kinds of infections. The final order in which the genes are rearranged is called a gene rearrangement profile. Within any normal population (sample) of T-cells, the cells and their gene rearrangement profiles are very diverse.
In lymphoma, the T-cells in affected tissue (such as blood, lymph node, or skin) are identical and their gene rearrangement profiles are likewise identical. Lymphomas arise when an abnormal T-cell begins to produce numerous identical copies of itself (clones). The cloned cells grow and divide uncontrollably, crowding out normal cells.
A T-cell receptor gene rearrangement test evaluates the T-cells in a person's sample to determine whether the majority of T-cell rearrangement profiles are diverse or identical. This information, along with clinical signs and symptoms and results of other laboratory tests, can help clarify a person's diagnosis, or evaluate for persistent or recurrent lymphoma.
Most non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the U.S. are B-cell lymphomas (about 85%), according to the American Cancer Society. Close to 15% are T-cell lymphomas. There are many different types of T-cell lymphomas, but each is rare.
For additional details about T-cells and this testing, read more.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A bone marrow, lymph node, or other tissue biopsy procedure is performed by a doctor or other trained specialist. Body fluid samples are obtained through collection of the fluid in a container by inserting a needle into the body cavity and aspirating a portion of the fluid with a syringe. Sometimes, a blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

GAME NOTES: Tennessee State has now won three of the last four meetings between the two teams. Two of those three victories have been by three points ... Ward's 31 yard reception in the first quarter is the second longest of his career. His career long catch of 49 yards came last season on Oct. 22 last season at Eastern Kentucky ... EKU started this years game on a 13 play, 91 yard touchdown drive that last 6:53. Last season vs. the Tigers, they started the game on a 14 play, 6 minute 30 second drive that resulted in a missed field goal. The 91-yard drive is also the longest vs. TSU since Nov. 20, 2010 vs. Murray State when the Racers went 95 yards before turning the ball over on downs ... WR Travis James moved into 9th on the all-time TSU receiving yards list passing Patrick Jenkins (1999-2002) ... Tennessee State and Bucknell are the only two FCS teams to have not given up more than 20 points in a game this season ... Eastern Kentucky scored just two touchdowns on five red zone possessions.

Full disclosure: While I am an independent tech blogger for ZAGG, they did give me some of their products to try, not requiring a review at all, but could choose to if we wished.
I wished.
When I first got the ZAGGsparq, it was one of those products you initially aren't sure if you will use. However, now that it is in my mental quiver of tech gadgets, I'm excited for the possibilities it holds in helping better my tech-nerd life.
If you aren't familiar with the ZAGGsparq, you are in for a treat. The device is a small, black rounded box with a built in electrical plug and two USB ports. The idea is that when you are on the go, and your USB powered devices deplete themselves faster than you would enjoy, the ZAGGsparq acts as a portable charging station for up to two devices. Instead of a whole rehash of the specs, you can learn more about it here.
My first use with the ZAGGsparq was a weekend trip to Southern Utah to visit the in-laws. I'm a person that loves to utilize his time, so a 3 hour driving trip screams potential productivity. My quickly dying MacBook Pro battery however doesn't agree. I had a lot of posts for the ZAGG blog I wanted to write, but wasn't sure if my battery would last that long. I then had the (in my humble opinion) genius idea of using my iPhone as my word processor while pairing my wife's iMac bluetooth keyboard with it for intense typing effectiveness. However, even though my iPhone 4 is a little over 6 months old, having 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and playing my music in the background while I typed is sure to put a strain on the battery for that duration.
Enter ZAGGsparq. Boasting of 4 full iPhone charges per charge of the device itself, I was able to rely on it for any long or short term charges I needed on the road. A simple plugin of my iPhone's USB cord to the ZAGGsparq and it began charging effectively, putting me at ease.
Other benefit? No need to carry around another USB wall charger. When we stay at the said in-laws, I don't want to bring my Apple USB charger as it is hidden deep underneath the bowels of my bed in the wall socket, its only evidence of existence being the USB cord that is plugged into it. I usually find myself charging my iPhone from my MacBook Pro, which is a pain as you need to open the screen plug the phone and cord in, then close the lid again in order for it to begin charging. With the ZAGGsparq, not only do I have a portable refresh battery wherever I go, but a great wall adaptor as well. I keep the Sparq in my traveling duffle bag just to make sure I don't forget it for those long stretches of powerless highway.
Any bias aside, I really think it is a great product.
The ZAGG Sparq 2.0 retails for $99.99 and is available at ZAGG.com.

Groovy's 'as' operator can be used with closures in a neat way which is great for developer testing in simple scenarios. We haven't found this technique to be so powerful that we want to do away with dynamic mocking, but it can be very useful in simple cases none-the-less.
Suppose we are using Interface Oriented Design and as sometimes advocated we have defined a number of short interfaces as per below. (Note: we ignore the discussion about whether interfaces are as valuable a design approach when using dynamic languages that support duck-typing.)
|Code Block
interface Logger { def log(message) } interface Helper { def doSomething(param) } interface Factory { Helper getInstance() }
Now, using a coding style typically used with dependency injection (as you might use with Spring), we might code up an application class as follows:
|Code Block
class MyApp { private factory private logger MyApp(Factory factory, Logger logger) { this.logger = logger this.factory = factory } def doMyLogic(param) { factory.getInstance().doSomething(param) logger.log('Something done with: ' + param) } }
To testing this, we could use Groovy's built-in mocking or some other Java-based dynamic mocking framework. Alternatively, we could write our own static mocks. But no one does that these days I hear you say! Well, they never had the ease of using closures, which bring dynamic power to static mocks, so here we go:
|Code Block
def param = 'DUMMY STRING' def logger = { message -> assert message == 'Something done with: ' + param} def helper = { assert it == param } def factory = { helper as Helper } def myApp = new MyApp(factory as Factory, logger as Logger) myApp.doMyLogic(param)
That was easy. Behind the scenes, Groovy creates a proxy object for us that implements the interface and is backed by the closure.
Easy yes, however, the technique as described above assumes our interfaces all have one method. What about more complex examples? Well, the 'as' method works with Maps of closures too. Suppose our helper interface was defined as follows:
|Code Block
interface Helper { def doSomething(param) def doSomethingElse(param) }
And our application modified to use both methods:
|Code Block
... def doMyLogic(param) { def helper = factory.getInstance() helper.doSomething(param) helper.doSomethingElse(param) logger.log('Something done with: ' + param) } ...
We simply use a map of closures with the key used being the same name as the methods of the interface, like so:
|Code Block
... def helperMethod = { assert it == param } def helper = [doSomething:helperMethod, doSomethingElse:helperMethod] // as before def factory = { helper as Helper } ...
Still easy!
For this simple example, where we wanted each method to be the same (i.e. implementing the same code) we could have done away with the map altogether, e.g. the following would work, making each method be backed by the closure:
|Code Block
def factory = { helperMethod as Helper }
