Financial Development and Innovation: Cross-country Evidence
2014, Journal of Financial Economics
Po-Hsuan Hsu, Xuan Tian, Yan Xuan
We examine how financial market development affects technological innovation. Using a large data set that includes 32 developed and emerging countries and a fixed effects identification strategy, we identify economic mechanisms through which the development of equity markets and credit markets affects technological innovation. We show that industries that are more dependent on external finance and that are more high-tech intensive exhibit a disproportionally higher innovation level in countries with better developed equity markets. However, the development of credit markets appears to discourage innovation in industries with these characteristics. Our paper provides new insights into the real effects of financial market development on the economy.

Anna Paquin — who just revealed that she's bisexual in a new PSA campaign for the True Colors Fund — was an immediate hit in Hollywood, winning an Academy Award at the age of eleven, for her debut acting performance in The Piano.
Accepting the Oscar, dressed head to toe in blue, the child actress spent the following years focused on her acting chops, paying little attention to achieving style icon status and landing herself on several Worst Dressed lists. Slowly, Anna¹s style began to evolve and within time, she has become a style icon.
PHOTOS: Anna Paquin¹s Star Style Evolution
Anna spent a number of years wearing eccentric and offbeat ensembles, which were panned by fashion critics, but around 2006, the actress stepped it up a notch, glamming up the red carpet with sophistication and grace. The actress sported monochromatic mode from Giambattista Valli, Badgley Mischka, J. Mendel and Chanel, establishing herself within the style set.
VIDEO: Anna Shows Off Her Engagement Ring
After announcing her engagement to True Blood costar Stephen Moyer, Anna experienced the defining point of her evolution, and she finally found her true colors — literally.
This awards season, the confident star pulled off nearly impossible looks, introducing bursts of color and psychedelic patterns into her wardrobe, which she has never dared to wear. At the 12th Annual Costume Designers Gala, Anna dropped jaws in a Marios Schwab mini, later following it up with a bursting gold, Stella McCartney embellished gown at the Golden Globes, which featured a revealingly low cut neckline. At the SAG Awards, Anna shocked by wearing an Alexander McQueen Spring 2010 mini in a nightmare instilling print.

Dawie Theron named a 48-man SA U20 provisional squad for the team's second camp in Stellenbosch, which includes four SA Schools players.
After naming a 100-man training squad for the opening camp hosted in Kimberley earlier this month, Baby Boks head coach Theron has selected a smaller provisional group for a second camp to be held at Stellenbosch University's brand new Sport Performance Institute.
Ten players who weren't present in Kimberley have also been invited to Stellenbosch. Four of them – Jan Serfontein, Dries Swanepoel, Siyabonga Tom and Hlanhla Hlungwane – are from this year's SA Schools side while Guy Alexander, Paul Jordaan, Allan Dell, Steven Kitshoff, Johan Goosen and Kevin Luiters are the other six additions.
'We've always planned to spread the net as far and wide as possible and by inviting the players that missed the camp in Kimberley but have always been on our radar, it gives us even more insight into the depth and talent at our disposal,' said Theron.
'Where we played a number of trials matches in Kimberley, this camp will be very different. We'll be introducing our game plan to the players and will work on position specific training, while also focusing on defensive and attacking structures.
'With most of the players currently busy with pre-season preparations at their various unions, it would not work to do intense contact sessions, so we will be concentrating more on technical and tactical preparations.'
The camp starts on 27 November until 7 December.
SA U20s squad:
Wian Fourie (Border); Hendri Christian Rust, Richard Dean Gorrah, Andile Jho, Dries Swanepoel, Hendrik van Wyk, Jan Serfontein, Juan Nel, Marvin Orie, Marzuq Maarman, Rudi van Rooyen, Schalk van Heerden, Tony Jantjies, Travis Ismail, Wian Liebenberg (all Bulls); Henco Venter, Hlanhla Hlungwane, Jan de Klerk, Johan Goosen, Kevin Luiters, Maphutha Dolo, Mathys Smit, Niel Marais, Niell Jordaan (all Free State); Errol Jaggers, Ettiene Oosthuizen, Fabian Booysen, Gideon Muller, Henri Boshoff, Mark Pretorius, Paul Willemse, Ruan Botha, Vian van der Walt (all Lions); Allan Dell, Franco Marais, Guy Alexander, Khaya Majola, Nicolaas van Dyk, Paul Jordaan, Pieter Steph du Toit, Shaun Adendorf, Siseko Jafta, Siyabonga Tom (all KZN); Francois Grobler (Leopards); Cobus Nel, Jacobs van Wyk, Patrick Howard, Steven Kitshoff (all WP).

Gear up for a muddy cyclocross season with the Shimano CX-75 disc brakes. Disc brakes are much more powerful than the traditional cantilever brakes, and perform even when mother- nature takes a turn for the worst. The CX-75 calipers are extremely compact to stay protected from damage. Weighing in at 159 grams, even the most weight conscious rider will be able to enjoy the immense stopping power of the Shimano CX-75 disc brakes.

Comments about Shimano CX-75 Disc Brake Caliper:
I installed these brakes on my cyclocross bike after I'd given up with a bunch of warping/truing issues on my Avid BB7 setups. Admittedly, the BB7's weren't that bad, they just really weren't that great. And again to be fair, I have a super flexy Ti fork that was compounding the issue. (In part which I helped via some DT Swiss RWS skewers, if you know, you know!) Anyway, for those of you comparing the two (probably about everyone), I found the CX-75 superior. It's easy to bolt on. Adjusting the cable took some trial and error to get just the right lever throw (on my setup with both bar and STI levers). The stopping power is excellent and the finish is far superior to the BB7's as that's what Shimano can provides and few companies can follow. I've been able to get the braking just a bit tighter without any rub from the disk. The sole complaint is the adjustability which is a tiny bit tedious taking two different size allen keys. I'm sure the engineers had good reason to make it this way but I wish they hadn't. I have found that the disc performance on the aluminum framed/with outer disk Shimano rotors is a heck of a lot better than other discs I've tried. The rigidity helps in braking performance, keeping the outer disk true and in cooling. Have fun fellows of the velo!

1. Joyce Battey
2. Milly the spaniel
Joyce Battey was passionate about animals and supported many animal protection organisations, including the BUAV.
She was born in Rochdale, Lancashire and moved to Sheffield in her teens where she met and married her husband Lawrence. They had two daughters and moved to Litton, Derbyshire in 1975.
Joyce loved dogs; she had her first dog, Panda, when she was just 13, and shared her life with a number of dogs over the years. They became the focus of her life and she wouldn't go anywhere without them. She was a keen walker and became a familiar figure walking in the fields in and around Litton. Towards the end of her life Joyce became the proud companion of a flat coated retriever, Fleur, who is sitting next to her in the photograph.
Over the years, Joyce raised funds for the many animal causes she supported. "Joyce's animal stall" was well known in the local area and people would flock to purchase the many pieces of bric-a-brac that had been donated.
Sadly Joyce passed away in February 2013 and is missed by all her family and friends. Her daughters and grand-daughter still live in Litton and continue to raise money for the animal protection organisations she supported.
Joyce had a strong faith and worshipped at the local Methodist Chapel every week. She wrote a number of poems which reflect her love of animals and her faith. These have recently been compiled in a book named "Completely Joyce" and the proceeds from the sales of her book are being shared between Litton Methodist Chapel and a variety of animal protection groups, including the BUAV.
When I found Milly on the internet she was listed merely as a quiet 6 year old ex-breeding dog that had been left at a local rescue home. When I went to see her, she was very underweight, had eye and ear infections, skin problems and a cataract in her left eye. I could see that she had suffered negligence for the profit of her owners and that she needed someone to help her. She hadn't even had a name until she was rescued. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I had left without her.
Milly was always a very special dog. She never complained if she was ill and never wanted to play because she didn't know how. She was happy to sit next to me on a sofa, because she'd never had that before. Even with everything that she had been through, Milly was able to trust and love me. In fact she loved everyone, and it seemed wherever we went people knew that she was a dog that loved attention. Just because a dog has been mistreated and might be more nervous than other dogs, doesn't mean they can't be your best friend.
Over the years Milly needed various trips to the vet, which she never seemed to mind. She needed to be spayed, needed some teeth out, had a few infections and needed her annual booster vaccinations. I just did what I needed to do because she was my friend, whether it was paying the bill or staying up with her all night to make sure she was comfortable. Then came the day I was not looking forward to. Milly's left eye began to get sore and the vet said that she had signs of glaucoma, which would be very painful for her unless the eye was removed. The operation was, however, a success and after about two weeks she was back to her usual bouncy self.
I thought that we would just carry on as normal, like we had after every other treatment she'd had. But it became clear that the vision in Milly's remaining eye was also starting to suffer, and after a trip to a specialist vet I learned that she would probably only have 18 months of vision left at the most. In my mind it was just another bump in the road that we would learn to deal with and I would just be there for her and do whatever was needed.
A few months later and totally out of nowhere, Milly began to limp on one of her back legs and the next day it was both back legs. The vet initially diagnosed early onset of arthritis, but just a few days later she wasn't even able to stand. I took her back with every intention of getting her fixed up and back to her normal self. But the vet believed that something serious was wrong with her spine, and the road back to health would be difficult and improbable.
On January 17th I lost my friend, for whom I did everything I could. It makes me angry to think that I had so little time with her, and that she had to go through so much loneliness and suffering as a money making puppy farm dog. I have every intention of rescuing more dogs, and would urge anyone who is looking for a dog to consider the same. The work that the BUAV is doing for dogs in similar or worse situations is making such a difference to the lives of animals. I am grateful for my time with Milly, and I know she was grateful for her time with me.

Why Get Tested?
To diagnose dengue fever, particularly if you are experiencing fever after travel to a tropical or subtropical destination
When to Get Tested?
When you develop a high fever within 2 weeks of travel to an area where dengue fever is endemic or an outbreak is occurring
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Dengue fever is a viral infection transmitted to humans by mosquitoes that live in tropical and subtropical climates and carry the virus. Blood testing detects the dengue virus or antibodies produced in response to dengue infection.
If a person develops a fever within two weeks following travel to an area where dengue fever is present, it may be prudent to test for dengue fever. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dengue infections have been reported in more than 100 countries from parts of Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific. It is a fast emerging infectious disease, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), with an increasing number of cases and countries affected throughout the world. Approximately 50 to 100 million cases occur annually worldwide.
In the U.S., the majority of dengue cases occur in travelers returning from areas where dengue is endemic. Most dengue cases in U.S. citizens occur in those inhabitants of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Samoa and Guam. Outbreaks where a large number of cases occur in a defined area are rare in the U.S. In recent years, there have been small outbreaks in Texas and Hawaii and a few cases diagnosed in southern Florida.
Many individuals will develop no symptoms at all, or have only a mild illness when exposed to one of the four serotypes of the dengue virus. For those who do develop symptoms, prognosis is still very good for full recovery within a few weeks. The most common initial symptoms are a sudden high fever (104°F or 40°C) and flu-like symptoms that appear roughly 4 to 7 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito (this is called the incubation period and can range from 3 to 14 days). Additional signs and symptoms may include severe headache, especially behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, skin rash, nausea, vomiting, and swollen glands.
Some people who develop a fever will recover on their own with no lasting ill effects while others may progress to severe dengue fever (sometimes called Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever). If the disease progresses to this form, a new wave of symptoms will appear 3 to 7 days after initial symptoms and as the fever recedes. These may include nose bleeds, vomiting blood, passing blood in the stool, difficulty breathing and cold clammy skin, especially in the extremities. During the second phase, the virus may attack blood vessels (the vascular system), causing capillaries to leak fluid into the space around the lungs (pleural effusion) or into the abdominal cavity (ascites). Currently, there is no explanation as to why dengue fever resolves itself harmlessly in some people while progressing to the severe form in others.
The loss of blood and fluid during the second phase, if untreated, can sometimes develop into a rare condition known as Dengue Shock Syndrome and can be fatal. In order to avoid that complication, a doctor may hospitalize a patient with dengue fever so that falling blood pressure and dehydration caused by the loss of blood and fluids can be managed while the disease runs its course – generally a period of one to two weeks. During the following week of recovery, a person may develop a second rash that lasts a week or more.
Dengue fever is usually diagnosed via some combination of blood tests because the body's immune response to the virus is dynamic and complex. Laboratory tests may include:
- Molecular tests for dengue virus (PCR)—detect the presence of the virus itself; these tests can diagnose dengue fever up to 5 days after the onset of symptoms.
- Antibody tests, IgM and IgG—detect antibodies produced by the immune system when a person has been exposed to the virus; these tests are most effective when performed at least 7-10 days after exposure.
- Complete blood count (CBC)—to look for low platelet count typical of the later stages of the illness and to detect the decrease in hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell (RBC) count (evidence of anemia) that would occur with blood loss associated with severe dengue fever
- Basic metabolic panel (BMP) – to monitor kidney function and look for evidence of dehydration that can occur with severe illness
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is collected 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.

Groovy-Eclipse supports both the 1.8 compiler and the 1.7 compiler for Groovy. However, due to Groovy-Eclipse's tight integration with the compiler, only one version of the compiler can be used in the workspace at one time. Switching compiler levels requires a restart.
By default, Groovy-Eclipse comes installed with a 1.7 compiler. This is the compiler that is installed when you select the Groovy-Eclipse feature from the Groovy update site:
If you would like to install the 1.8.x compiler, then you must add one of the development update sites to your install manager:
For Eclipse 3.6:
For Eclipse 3.7:
To perform the installation, you must install the latest dev snapshot of Groovy-Eclipse as well as the Groovy Compiler 1.8 feature (the SDK and m2eclipse integration are optional):
Then click Next > and follow the instructions to complete the installation. A restart is necessary.
Specifying compiler level on the command line
As of Groovy-Eclipse 2.5.2, it is possible to specify the compiler level when starting Eclipse from the command line. Just add the following arguments to the command line to start Groovy 1.7 when running Eclipse:
Or to force Groovy 1.8:
It is possible to run multiple instances of Eclipse at the same time targeting different compiler levels as long as they point to different workspaces.
Alternatively, you can add the arguments to the
eclipse.ini file (must be on separate lines and before the
-vmargs entry.
Switching compiler levels in the preference page
You can switch between the 1.7 and 1.8 compilers for your Eclipse workspace in the Preferences -> Groovy -> Compiler page:
Simply click the button and Eclipse will restart automatically. The hyperlink shown on the preference page will navigate you to this wiki page.
Uninstalling the 1.8 compiler
You can uninstall the 1.8 compiler through the update manager. In the lower right corner of the update manager, there is a link that says What is already installed?:
Click the link, select the Groovy 1.8 compiler, and then click Uninstall...:
Then follow the instructions and restart to complete the uninstallation process. Once the 1.8 compiler is uninstalled, you can follow the steps above to reinstall it.
Switching from outside of Eclipse
If you cannot switch compilers from the Groovy Compiler preference page, follow the instructions to perform the switch from outside of Eclipse:
- Shut down Eclipse
- Go to eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator
- Make a backup copy of bundles.info
- Open bundles.info in a text editor
- Find the line for org.codehaus.groovy_1.8 and delete (thus leaving the 1.7 compiler enabled)
- Restart eclipse
To re-enable the 1.8 compiler, simply reinstate the backed up copy of bundles.info.
Another possibility
Over at AppSatori there is another suggestion on how to do compiler switching. It requires a little more setup than the proposal here, but it allows you to run two workspaces simultaneously using each compiler.
Problems or questions?
There are several possibilities for getting support on your Groovy-Eclipse installation. See here for your support options.

Heinrich Brussow will play in Japan after failing to make an impression on Bok coach Heyneke Meyer.
The Volksblad newspaper reported that Brussow will take up a club career in Japan after the Cheetahs complete their Super Rugby commitments. The nature of his Japanese club contract is such that he is not available for national selection, as it is with all the South African players in Japan.
He will continue to play Super Rugby for the Cheetahs.
Meyer has not rated Brussow since taking charge and the player has been described as a penalty liability and not a good enough all-round player.
It is something many, myself included, disagree with in every regard.
He is a huge loss to the national squad.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
In a perfect world these "people" would not only do time, but whatever the abuse or neglect they caused, they would suffer the same.......10 fold!
Thank GOD someone found him in time before it was too late. I'm so glad hes recovering and has the care and love from the clinic to help him. people like whoever threw him should be in front of a firing squad, or thrown from a car themselves. I hope they find whoever did this and they get punished to the fullest extent. love and BIG BIG kisses Joey!!!!!! <3
THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU for taking care of this little puppy Joey - no animal deserves to be treated like this - they give us nothing but unconditional love and this is how people repay them - these people are scumbags and that is saying it nicely.
I am praying for Joey and also praying that the vicious idiot that committed this heinous crime is caught and punished to the extent of the law! What kind of person does things like this?
My thoughts and prayers are with Joey. May GOD take him in his arms to comfort and heal him. I pray he makes a full recovery and finds his "forever home".
I wonder how the people who did this to Joey would like it done to them...How would they like to be thrown out of a car window in a bag...shame on them...
It is so disturbing to read stories like this. Thank goodness for ones like you who will care for these poor animals. About 3 weeks ago, my 84-year-old father was sitting on his porch in Chattaroy, WV, with a friend when a car drove by @ about 35 mph. The car did not even slow down and something was thrown out the window. The friend said that garbage was thrown out and my Dad said "That isn't garbage. That's a kitten." The poor little thing was just sitting in the middle of the road, too scared to even move. It was only about 3-4 weeks old. The friend went out and scooped him up. My brother and his family have taken him in and I visited and saw him last weekend and he is the sweetest little kitten ever. They said he was very scared and shy at first but now he is "Mr. Personality." His name is "Potter". I will never understand why or how people can treat poor little animals so badly.
Get the neanderthals and put 'em under the jail. Get well Joey and I hope you find some kind folks who will help the memory of this treatment subside and disappear for you.
So sorry Joey that people were so mean to you. Such a saddening and heinous act of cruelty. I hope you find a good home soon! Prayers for you with all my heart!
Get the neanderthals and put 'em under the jail. Get well Joey and I hope you find some kind folks who will help the memory of this treatment subside and disappear for you.

"June 28th brings the first ever UFC event to the shores of New Zealand. Most of the world may be comically unaware that Australia and New Zealand are two completely different countries, but neither can deny that the fate of their MMA scenes are unequivocally linked. So it's understandable that Australians are perhaps even more excited than their neighbors that the UFC is back on their side of the world, because it sets up a potential rivalry for the future. Think Wallabies vs the All Blacks, minus the boots and add the Octagon.
"So why else are Aussie coaches, fighters, and fans so excited for a show that isn't even in their own country?"

Biliary Cancer
Biliary Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma)
Risk Factors
Cholangiocarcinoma is the growth of cancer cells in the bile duct. The bile duct are a number of branching tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gall bladder and small intestine. Bile is a fluid that helps digest food and eliminate waste from the body.
Cholangiocarcinomas can be divided by their location:
- Intrahepatic—develops in the bile duct branches that are located in the liver
- Perihilar—develops at the point where the branches of the bile duct join and leave the liver (most common form)
- Distal—develops in the area of the bile duct that is closer to the small intestine
The exact cause is unknown. Gene defects may lead to the growth of cancer cells in the bile duct.
Many different gene defects have been found in tumors. p53 gene abnormalities and K-ras gene abnormalities are two common gene defects that have been seen.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your risk of cholangiocarcinoma include:
- Having a chronic condition that causes inflammation of the bile duct such as primary sclerosing cholangitis, ulcerative colitis, bile duct stones, choledochal cysts
- Cirrhosis of the liver or another condition that affects the liver or bile duct such as polycystic liver disease, Caroli syndrome
- Infection by parasites called liver flukes (more common in Asian countries)
- Age older than 65 years
- Overweight or obesity
- Exposure to a radioactive substance or toxic chemicals
- Family history of bile duct cancer
Other possible risk factors are:
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- Hepatitis B or C
- Pancreatitis
In the early stages of the cancer, there may not be any symptoms. As the cancer grows, symptoms may include:
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)
- Abdominal pain
- Fever
- Weakness, fatigue
- Decrease in appetite, weight loss
- Itchy skin
- Dark urine, pale stool
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Blood tests will help to evaluate how the liver and gallbladder are working. These tests may also help to find tumor marker, indicators of cancer in the body.
Tests may be needed to create images of the liver and bile ducts such as:
- Ultrasound
- CT scan
- MRI scan
- PET scan
Other tests may be done to gather more information about the cancer and affected bile ducts such as:
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)—x-rays and a long, flexible tube with a camera to examine the bile duct
- Angiography —x-rays of the blood vessels
- Laparoscopy —thin tube with a camera on one end to examine the bile duct
- Biopsy —a sample of the bile duct cells is removed and examined
The treatment plan depends on the size and location of the tumor (stage) and your overall health.
Surgery may be done to try to remove the cancer. The bile duct reaches into many organs and surgery may involve more than one organ. For example:
- Intrahepatic bile duct cancer—may include the removal of part of the liver or an entire lobe
- Perihilar bile duct cancer—may include the removal of part of the liver, bile duct, and gall bladder
- Distal bile duct cancer—may include the removal of part of the pancreas and small intestine
If the cancer cannot be removed, other types of surgery may be done to relieve symptoms. A small tube may be placed inside of a cancerous bile duct to allow bile to flow through it.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Different forms include:
- External radiation therapy—radiation directed at the tumor from a source outside the body
- Internal radiation therapy—radioactive materials placed into the body in or near the cancer cells
- Radiation may be done along with surgery. It may also be the main treatment if cancer cannot be removed.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This treatment may be used before or after surgery. If the tumor cannot be removed, chemotherapy may be given, either alone or in combination with radiation therapy.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials may be recommended if treatment options are limited for your type of cancer. These trials could offer treatments that are not currently available to most. Talk to your doctor about these options.
You may be able to lower your risk by:
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly
- Taking precautions to prevent cirrhosis, like getting a hepatitis B vaccine and avoiding or limiting alcohol
- Not smoking
- Avoiding exposure to toxins

SALEM -- An off-duty Salem police officer is in critical condition after his wife ran him over in a pickup truck, police said.
Shirley Teresa Nunez, 47, reportedly entered another woman's home just after 1 a.m. Monday and threatened her with a handgun, according to Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings.
Nunez suspected the woman was involved in a relationship with her husband, Kenneth Nunez, Hastings said. The other woman was not injured.
Hastings said within minutes after that incident Kenneth Nunez was struck outside his home by a pickup truck his wife was driving. He was taken to Salem Hospital, where he was last reported in critical condition.
Shirley Nunez was jailed on charges including attempted murder, burglary and menacing.
Kenneth Nunez is a 7-year veteran of the Salem Police Department.

Sonar comes out of the box with a complete mechanism to manage security. Configuring security in Sonar will enable to cover 2 main use cases:
- Manage access rights to resources, information...
- Enable customization of Sonar for users
- Secure a Sonar instance by forcing login prior to access to any page
- Make a given project non accessible to anonymous
- Allow access to source code (Code Viewer) to a given set of people
- Restrict access to a project to a given group of people
- Define who can administer a project (setting exclusion patterns, tunning plugins configuration for that project, …)
- Define who can administer a Sonar instance
Built-in Security
Default Admin Credentials
When installing Sonar, an unique user gets created:
- Login: admin
- Password: admin
Add Users
A user is a set of basic information: login, password, name and email.
To create a new user, go to Configuration > Users > Add new user:
Change my Password
Log in and click on your name (the top right of the screen).
Enter the old password, the new one and confirm it:
The way authorization is implemented in Sonar is pretty standard. It is possible to create as many users and groups of users as required in the system. The users can then be attached (or not) to (multiple) groups. Groups and / or users are then given (multiple) roles. The roles grant access to projects, services and functionalities in Sonar.
A group is a set of users.
To create a new group, go to Configuration > Groups > Add new group:
To add/remove users to/from a group:
Special groups
Two groups have a special status in Sonar:
- Anyone is a group that exists in the system, but that cannot be managed. Every user belongs to this group.
- sonar-users is the group to which users are automatically added. This group can be changed through the Security Global Settings. See Global Security Settings, property sonar.defaultGroup for more information.
There are 4 roles in Sonar, 1 is global, the 3 others are defined at project level:
- Global roles:
- Global Administrators: have the ability to perform all administration tasks on the Sonar instance like global configuration, customization of the home page, of the time machine, etc.
- Project roles:
- Administrators: have the ability to perform administration tasks for a project by accessing its settings
- Users: have the ability to navigate through every service of a project, except viewing source code and settings
- Code viewers: have the ability to view source code of a project
Default project roles
It is possible to configure the system so that when a new project is created, some users/groups are automatically granted roles on this project.
In the example below, once a new project has been created:
- All the users in the sonar-administrators group can administrate (Administrators), access the project (Users) and browse the source code (Code viewers).
- The myAuditor user can access access the project (Users) and browse the source code (Code viewers).
Security Settings
- Default user group: any new user created will automatically join this group.
- Force user authentication: this is really the first question that should be answered when setting the security strategy in Sonar. Can anybody browse the Sonar instance or do you need to be authenticated?
- Allow users to sign up online: this means that anybody can access a form to create himself an account in the system. Note that after filling up the form, the user should log in.
- Import sources: if set to false, source code will not be accessible for any user, to restrict access to source code for some users only, see Code viewers role.
Delegation to an External System
In order to leverage existing infrastructures, Sonar provides the capability of delegating authentication and authorization to external systems through plugins:
- LDAP with the Sonar LDAP Plugin
- Active Directory with the Sonar LDAP Plugin
- PAM with the Sonar PAM Plugin
- Crowd: with the Sonar Crowd Plugin
Settings Encryption
Encryption is mostly used to remove clear passwords from settings, ie the database or SCM credentials. The implemented solution is based on a symetric key algorithm. The keypoint is that the secret key is stored in a secured file on disk. This file must be readable and owned by only the system account that executes the different Java process (Maven Plugin , Ant task, continuous integration server, sonar server, ...).
The algorithm is AES 128 bits. Note that 256 bits cipher is not used because it's not supported by default on all Java Virtual Machines (see this article).
How to generate the secret key
An unique secret key is shared between all the parts of the Sonar infrastructure (server and code analyzers). It is generated online with the administration console (Configuration -> General Settings > Encryption). Follow the instructions to store the key in a secured file on the server, generally in
~/.sonar/sonar-secret.txt. If the file is elsewhere, then declare its path with the property
sonar.secretKeyPath in conf/sonar.properties and restart the server.
If you want to encrypt properties that are used by code analyzers, then copy the file on all the required machines. Use the same property
sonar.secretKeyPath to change the default location.
When this is done, you can start encrypting settings.
How to encrypt settings
The administration console used to generate the secret key allows also to encrypt text values. Simply copy the encrypted texts in the appropriate locations.
See the Security section of the FAQ.

I think this is the place to post this.
I've got a steel player friend who wants to be able to run a control box out from his amp to his steel and have controls for 2 or 3 pots on his amp so he can adjust them on the fly. I thought about just mounting a switching jack on the back of his amp for each control he wants on the box, running a snake of cables to the box, and operating them from there (like a multi version of a plug-in expression pedal, but instead of a pedal just using regular pots). This would technically work, but clearly there are HUGE disadvantages to this setup, namely:
1) bulk of cables
2) finding room for/drilling holes for all the jacks
3) noise
4) buffering the controls so that the long cable runs to the control box don't cause tone loss
5) even heavily shielded cables would likely pick up unwanted noise with amp controls
6) myriad other issues
So, my next thought was to do one of 3 things:
1) do some sort of midi setup that drives step motors, with his control box sending the midi signals to control the step motors which would be mechanically coupled to the pots
2) make some kind of arduino control that can drive either step motors or plain old dc motors that are coupled to the pots
If I did either of these mechanical solutions, I would either have to have some sort of feedback as to the position of the knob so that I could stop at the knob's max tortion, or i would need the motors to be belt driven so that they can just be allowed to "slip" if the pots go too far.
right now, i'm imagining one other solution, which would simply involve 9v DC motors, a couple of buttons (Up and down), and sending battery voltage to the motor (Switching power polarity for up and down) that i could couple to the pots. it would have the same drawbacks of the arduino/midi solutions, except no programming. I'd need the belt drive setup mentioned above though, because there would be no feedback of knob position.
I think the safer would be midi or arduino instead of the plain old power buttons, but I have NO idea how to program any of this. Never used Arduino or programmed an IC in my life, and MIDI is almost foreign to me. So I'm coming to you guys for guidance. What do you think?

I got drunk one night and had sex with a guy I didn't know. I want to know if he's clean or not but I'm too shy and embarrassed to ask. What do I do?
Start by seeing a doctor, nurse practitioner, or health clinic to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and pregnancy. You will also need to go back to be retested for HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) again in 3 months, since it can take a while for that infection to show up in tests.
It's good to ask a partner about STDs, but it's even more important to get tested. People who have STDs often don't know that they're infected. That's why it's important to use a condom to help protect against STDs every time you have any type of sex.
Unfortunately, alcohol and drugs take away our ability to make good decisions about things like condom use and sexual partners. When you're going out, always let someone know where you'll be, and plan a safe way to get home. Stay aware of your surroundings, who you're with, and how sober you and the people around you are so you can stop things before you get into a situation you don't want to be in — or one that's possibly dangerous.

"Sortadella" Cheddar
8 comments:
- Crooked Shade Farm said...
Of course there's risk. There's a risk of being hit by a bus, too. Life shouldn't be about being risk free, but about making one's own choice of whether to take the risk. I make raw milk cheeses and uncultured cheeses all the time, as did my grandmother and her mother before her--and probably before that. It's a "risk" I choose to take, just like the open kettle canning of jelly that I do. It's pretty sad that fear of lawsuits by people who won't take responsibility for their own choices, or fear of government intervention, must affect those of us who are responsible adults.

You're absolutely right. However, some folks take our recipes as endorsements. Happy cheese making!
- February 5, 2014 at 9:50 AM
- Kansas Cheese said...
Could you please provide a link for the recipe for those willing to take the risk? Or provide a way to contact Steve?
I have a pot of 2 gallons on the stove to try it out, went to get the recipe and now I am stuck! I have had problems with a bad batch of rennet (read: a batch of rennet gone bad, it was good at one point), and thought it would be the perfect time to try the acid cheese and age it instead of feeding it to the dogs, since we are snowed in and under arctic blast. I would hate to try and reproduce it by memory. Given my Swiss cheese memory...
I think all cheese making/cooking/heck - living- has risk. I'm fine with you withholding endorsement, I understand you don't want to get sued, but I would find it unfair to withhold information from those interested in trying something new. I promise I won't sue you or Steve

I contacted Steve and I'll get right back to you.

I look forward to hearing from you or Steve. Thank you for your help.
Now, if I could only get the weather fixed this easily...

Created by the IOC in 1983 in response to the growing public interest in sports practice and the development in the trend in health/fitness and physical activity, the most important aim of the Sport for All Commission is to encourage and support the efforts and developments disseminating the health and social benefits to be gained by all members of society through regular physical activity. This goal can be achieved through a cooperation via International Sports Federations (IFs), National Olympic Committees (NOCs), and national sports organisations.
The Sports Department works with the Sport for All Commission and organises the Commission meeting once a year. This Commission is the expert consultative body on this subject. Its role is to establish guidelines for SfA strategy. By following the guidelines and recommendations made at each Conference, the Commission must also ensure that all the means available are employed.
Sport for All is a movement promoting the Olympic ideal that sport is a human right for all individuals regardless of race, social class and sex. The movement encourages sports activities that can be exercised by people of all ages, both sexes and different social and economic conditions.
Health and social benefits
The Commission, applying the Fundamental Principles and Rules of the Olympic Charter, will encourage and support the efforts and development of other organisations already involved in Sport for All, thereby further disseminating the health and social benefits to be gained by all members of society through regular physical activity. Sport for All helps to put the Olympic Movement's values into practice in terms of promoting health, education and well-being through sports activities practised by all categories of the population without distinction. Sport is also a means to achieve development objectives in terms of both establishing policy and organising local sports events.

A high-speed thermoblock heating system adds to its efficiency, producing delicious bean-to-cup specialty beverages in a flash. The advanced frothing system embodies Juras fine foam technology, for delicious milk foam with a feather-like consistency. The coffee and milk spouts are height-adjustable from 2.6 to 4.4 inches to accommodate a variety of cup sizes, and integrated cup illumination in amber and white enhance the brewing experience. Highly energy-efficient, the IMPRESSA F7 is ready to brew when you are, cup by cup, with each cup easily personalized to your tastes. The automatic switch-off, integrated energy-saving mode and the Zero Energy Switch© that completely disconnects the machine from the power supply, make this a highly energy-efficient model.
frothXpress PLUS System
Milk Based drinks at the touch of a button! The frothXpress PLUS system helps you to prepare perfect cappuccinos and lattes cup after cup. It automatically siphons milk from the cold milk container, combines it with hot steam and delivers hot, frothed milk into your cappuccino cups. Turn the dial of the frothXpress from cappuccino to latte and the frothXpress Plus will deliver hot steamed milk with very little or no froth for that delicious latte. -Programmable! Using the programmable steam button (with auto-stop) lets you fill cup after cup with exactly the amount of hot milk amount you like. The result: always the same taste and no more frothing into a pitcher and no more wasted milk! Set the programmable steam button from 3 to 120 seconds. During frothing you can always stop or prolong the action. Either push any of the steam buttons to stop immediately or use the rotary dial (behind the door) to dial a longer frothing time. - Fill as many cups as you want then add your shot of espresso and serve identical lattes or cappuccinos. Temperature control! For that extra hot Cappuccino or Latte move the frothXpress Dial from the 12 or 6 oclock setting towards the 2 or 4 oclock setting. This will increase overall milk temperature. Turning the dial to the 3 oclock setting will completely stop the flow of milk. Only hot steam will come out. Dual Frother Plus For frothing and steaming smaller amounts of milk (for one or two cups) the Dual Frother Plus is fast and easy to use. With two settings for latte (steaming milk) and cappuccino (steaming and frothing milk). Immerse the DualFrother PLUS into your milk pitcher and push the permanent steam button for immediate and continuous action. Push again to stop.
An internal processor keeps track of all activities. The machine will inform you via display about all maintenance functions. The more you take care of your machine, the longer it will last. Certain procedures will not allow you to continue to make coffee, others let you continue to brew coffee but the message wont go away until the function is performed.
Automatic cleaning cycle indicator prevents coffee oil build-up in the brew chamber. A short 15 minutes automated tablet cleaning program with clear instructions in the LED display insures clean inner parts and coffee that will never tastes oily or rancid. No inner parts need to be removed. The display will remind you automatically after approx. 200 cups of coffee.
Aroma+ grinder now twice as fast By perfecting the cutting angle inside the grinding cone, the JURA engineers have managed to increase efficiency significantly. As a result, the perfect aroma can now be achieved in all its natural fullness in half the grinding time. So now coffee lovers can enjoy pure and perfect coffee indulgence with less preparation time and less noise. The powder chute for ground coffee can be used for additional coffee varieties such as a decaffeinated blend.
The IMPRESSA F7 makes it easy to customize coffee settings to your liking. When the machine is on and the display shows READY, push and hold the P-button until the display shows FILTER. This indicates that you are in programming mode. Turn the left rotary dial clockwise and the F7 will guide you through 11 programming and look-up functions: FILTER, HARDNESS, AROMA, TEMPERATURE, TIME, AUTO-ON, AUTO-OFF, STATS, LANGUAGE, ML / OZ. AND 24 HR AM/PM). Once you select a function, just press the button inside the dial and the display will show you the options for this function. Dial the option you want and push the button to confirm. Push the P-button to get back to making coffee, indicated by READY in the display.
Height-adjustable coffee and milk spout This offers a hot water function for tea and a steam portion function so that milk can be heated automatically for hot chocolate topped with foamed milk. These performance features are just as much a part of the high-quality automatic machine as the innovative cappuccino system. So you can prepare trend specialities without even having to move the cup. Simply turn the switch and delicate milk foam that is as light as air and of the finest quality and consistency will flow into your cup before coffee is added to create your classic cappuccino. Both the coffee and milk spout are height-adjustable on a continuous scale, so you can treat yourself to a great-tasting cup of coffee using any standard cup.
- Touch the 1-cup button once, twice or three times for mild, regular or strong coffee. When the F7 starts grinding, the display shows the last cup size used in oz. At this time the left rotary dial illuminates. Just turn the dial and change the cup size from 1 oz. to 8 oz. It can't get any more convenient. - Push the 2-cup button and the F7 Classic will always produce twice as much coffee as shown in the display. So, if the cup size is set to 7 oz. the F7 Classic will brew a total of 14 oz. With the height adjustable coffee spout any size cup will fit easily underneath. - Two step pre-infusion cycle moistens and conditions the ground coffee. Maximum flavor extraction with perfect crema topping. - The Impressa F7 Classic grinds from 5 to a maximum of 16 grams of coffee from mild to extra strong. - Choose from two temperature settings. Some like it hot, some don't. - The Impressa F7 Classic froths and steams milk with the DualFrother PLUS or with the automatic frothXpress system (both are standard; for more information see below) After steaming/frothing your milk, the F7 without delay grinds the beans and pressure-brews the espresso into your cup. No more work, no more guessing. - 64 oz. removable water container. Good for 40 espressos at a time. - Integrated professional solid steel conical burr grinder for consistent and aroma-saving grinding. Six settings allow you to adjust the fineness for all kinds of beans - from light to dark roasts. - 8 oz. bean container. Grind up to 30 portions of coffee before refilling. - Frother can be used to release hot water to quickly pre-heat your cup or for that perfect Cafe Americano or to make a cup of tea in seconds. The hot water function is also programmable from 1 to 16 oz. - New CLEARYL Water Care System . Removes chlorine, lead, aluminum and copper from your tap water for a better tasting coffee. A special organic additive removes almost all carbon and eliminates decalcifying altogether. - Electronic CLEARYL cartridge change indicator makes sure that you always have the best water possible. - Separate funnel for pre-ground coffee. Use for decaf or flavored coffees. The moment you lift the lid of the funnel, the F7 knows that you want to use pre-ground coffee. It actually asks you via the display to add ground coffee. - 18-bar power pump with 1450 watt stainless steel lined ThermoBlock heating system. Fast continuous operation for use at home or in the office.
- 10-digit LED display dialog system. Gives you short, plain language instructions: "Ready", "Heating", "Steam Ready", "Fill Water", "Clean Unit" etc. - Illuminated brewing area. Whenever you push a button, two LED lights behind the coffee spout will illuminate your coffee. The lights will turn off automatically if the machine is not used for one minute. - Choose from seven languages in the dialog system. English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch. - Select from "Continuous-on" or "Auto-off" from 1/2 hour to 9 hours in one hour increments.

20 percent pay cut in the cards?
Monday - 1/28/2013, 2:00am EST
Hoping for a buyout this year? Would you gladly take early or regular retirement immediately if offered a before-deductions payment of $25,000. If the answer is "yes," then good luck with that.
The odds of you being hit with a pay cut, of up to 20 percent, are greater than your chances of a buyout.
During the early years of the current recession, it was not unusual for private-sector workers to take temporary pay cuts (of a few months to a year) ranging from 5 to 20 percent. People continued to work their regular five-day shifts, but were paid less. Even unionized groups opted for the temporary pay cut rather than layoffs. Now, temporary pay cuts may be coming to the federal workforce.
Federal agencies are tight for money and these may turn out to be the good-old-days! Things are likely to get tighter before they get better. Even if politicians don't drive the government over the fiscal cliff, force it to sequester itself or continue to keep punting on their fiscal chores, things are going to get tougher in the opinion of most fed-watchers.
Buyouts will never again hit 1990s totals, when tens of thousands of people were paid to leave and agencies consolidated or contracted out functions the Clinton administration deemed "overhead".
In recent years, buyouts have been carefully targeted. They have been limited to specific jobs, grades and even geographic areas.
The only widescale use of buyouts in the past couple of years has been in the rapidly downsizing U.S. Postal Service. But even there the payouts have been much less than those available to workers at other federal agencies. The 2011-2012 time period was a good one for buyouts outside of the USPS. But time and money are not on your side this year. Two reasons:
- Buyouts are most cost-effective for federal agencies if people take them and depart early in the fiscal year (which begins Oct. 1). Waiting until mid-way in the fiscal year — like March or April — means a greater cost to the government in salary and then retirement benefits.
- Even if Congress fails to force agencies to cut jobs or programs or demands deeper spending cuts, many are already programmed into agency operating plans which, in most cases, are based on stopgap continuing resolutions, which are themselves a continuation of earlier CRs that were extended.
Predicting the fiscal future is tough to impossible. Given the original timetables set by Congress and the White House we should, by now, have gone over the fiscal cliff, prepared for a debt-ceiling-triggered shutdown and sequestration in a matter of weeks. And the House scheduled, then cancelled, a vote on a continuation of the federal pay freeze. None of this has happened. Some or all of it could still happen.
Meantime, while the executive branch waits to see how and when the legislative branch of government will get its act in order, agencies are doing what they can to do more with less. This includes everything from freezing hiring to planning for 22 days of furloughs (one day per week in most cases) to cut costs. While a furlough is better than a layoff, it would still mean a 20 percent pay cut for the average fed.

Experimental website aims to overhaul RFP process
Never again should an agency try to buy the services of an "information distribution platform designer." Never again should vendors have to write hundreds of pages to bid on a potential contract. And never again should contracting officers have to copy and paste from old and unproven request for proposals to create a new one. Ensuring these things actually never happen again are the simple goals of RFP-EZ, one of the first pilot programs delivered by the Presidential Innovation Fellows Program.

|Introduction | Best performing standard lenses for the PEN E-P5 | Best performing standard zoom lenses for the PEN E-P5 | Best performing wide-angle primes and zooms for the PEN E-P5 | Best performing telephoto primes and zooms for the PEN E-P5
The depth of high quality primes and zooms for the PEN is, arguably, the most compelling reason to invest in the Micro Four Thirds system over rival mirrorless camera offerings. If you're already a PEN E-P5 owner or you're looking for advice or insights in lens performance in advance, this guide will aid you in making the right choice. Read onto find out which lens models in the range perform best optically.
Externally, with its stepped metal top plate and concealed screws the Olympus PEN E-P5 bears the closest resemblance yet to its film-era predecessors of the 60's. Internally, as you might expect, the camera couldn't be more different. Like the vaunted OM-D E-M5, the latest PEN has a 16-Mpix LMOS type sensor mounted on a stabilized platform that helps reduce blur from camera shake on 5 axes, as well as continuous shooting at up to 9fps.
The new model even adds some features that the OM-D lacks such as a focus peaking, a new mechanical shutter with a top speed of 1/8000th sec (very useful shooting wide-open at f/1.4 or 1.8), and built-in flash and WiFi. It also boasts a new optionally available articulated electronic viewfinder (EVF), the $279 VF-4, which has a higher resolution (2.36 million dot) and a larger, magnified view for improved clarity.
Of course the camera is just a part of the system; the lens is arguably the more important and should be considered as a longer-term investment. We've analyzed 22 lens models from Olympus, Panasonic and Sigma, and while we've not covered every model available it's still an extensive range from which to make a considered choice.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
Overall, the E-P5 looks like it should offer much of what has made the E-M5 so popular in an even smaller, more portable form factor. Most importantly, you get the same image quality and superb 5-axis in-body image stabilization system (with a year's refinements too). It's certainly a much better camera than the E-P3 or either of the cheaper PENs, and one of the nicest mirrorless models we've yet seen. Of course it's entering a very competitive marketplace, up against hugely capable models such as the Sony NEX-6 and Fujifilm X-E1. We're very much looking forward to getting our hands on a shootable production model to see how it measures up.

Missing some Panasonic lenses
Thanks for trying to create a comparison article, however it seems incomplete given that the old Panasonic Lumix G 20mm F1.7 ASPH was never tested by you. Also the more recent Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 ASPH has not been tested by you.
These lenses have been widely available for quite some time...
Indeed it has been so long since that 20mm was released, there is actually a new version soon - the Panasonic Lumix G 20mm F1.7 II ASPH (which you should test) but people will still be curious as to how it compares to the MkI version (which you have not tested).
I hope you can catch-up on your Panasonic Lens testing backlog for the sake of data completeness.

Re: Missing some Panasonic lenses
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
Panasonic Lumix G 20mm F1.7 II ASPH and version I are definitely the top priority for our micro four third lenses road map. Thanks for you suggestion http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Lenses/Camera-Lens-Database/Panasonic/Panasonic-LUMIX-G-20mm-F17-II-ASPH

West Point returns home tonight looking to improve on their tremendous start to their district schedule after dominating Lake Cormorant 42-14.
Tonight they take on a truly untested Hernando that have lost two in a row since their lone victory on the season in week three.
The Green Wave jumped off the bus from a two-plus hour ride up north and built up a 42-0 lead over the Gators early before the defense finally broke down in the fourth quarter.
Just days after coming up short on their biggest fight of the season, Hebron quickly erased the 52-50 double overtime loss to Park Place and put their focus on the reigning 8-man football champions in Kemper Academy.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs a good it stings a little bit,ŌĆØ head coach Tri Nason said. ŌĆ£They know how it feels now and they donŌĆÖt want it to happen again.
Last week the Crusaders overcame a 22-6 half time deficit to send the game into overtime and eventually prevail after stopping Will Corben-Rogers diving effort on a two-point conversion.
Oak Hill Academy is still searching for their first win on the year and as the season rolls along the teams donŌĆÖt get any easier.
Tonight, the Raiders get back into district action when they take on Leake Academy after a two game road trip that saw them get shutout 40-0 in both games.
Leake has had a decent season thus far, scattering two wins among four losses over a six game span. Those wins came against Immanuel and Kirk.
Head coach Benjie Merchant said all the teams theyŌĆÖve played so far have improved across the board from last season, mostly with new additions.
School was out at Fifth Street Middle School, but there were a handful of students sitting in a classroom Wednesday afternoon learning another lesson.
They werenŌĆÖt in detention, but these girls, the West Point junior high cheerleaders, were meeting like they have been doing all semester and more importantly becoming better people in school and the community.

Coming off a scrappy 26-20 overtime victory over Louisiana Tech last weekend, Mississippi State will venture between the hedges to Athens to take on a rare SEC opponent in Georgia (2-2).
The two teams have met just 22 times in the conferenceŌĆÖs storied history.
MSU will look to win back-to-back games this season if they can find a way to pick up their explosive offense that has been missing since the first two games.
Kelsey Redus and Isabel Facella had another good outing at the pool last week for the Green Wave swimming team.
Redus finished ninth in the girls 50-freestyle while Facella placed in the top 20 for the green and white. Complete times and scores were not available as of press time.
Head coach Stephen Stockton said it looked as though several swimmers were a little tired with it being on Thursday.
ŌĆ£They gave a great effort nonetheless,ŌĆØ he said.
