I am building a math exercises database, I would like to use couchDB and then store the exercises in a json format, so I can store meta-data with each exercise.
I have troubles having a valid json with all the Latex syntax, what would be a good way to tackle this issue? I have thought about encoding the latex but I am not sure it's a good idea, above all if it will need to be decoded by a mobile device...
Example of data:
{"taglist": null,
"flagcount": null,
"category": "Algebre",
"chapter": "Polynomes",
"difficulty": 1,
"viewcount": null,
"hint": null,
"question": "Soit $P \in \mathbb{R}[X]$ scindé sur $\mathbb{R}$.\\ \begin{enumerate} \item Montrer que $P'$ est aussi scindé sur $\mathbb{R}$. \item Montrer que les racines multiples de $P'$ sont aussi racines de $P$. \item Ce resultat reste-t-il valable dans $\mathbb{C}[X]$ ? \end{enumerate}"
"solution": null}
Moreover, as I might need to encrypt the "solution" because I do no want it to be accessed without permission, maybe I should store only the encrypted form in the json?
Or maybe the solution is to store the latex another way... ? I am very new to this kind of problem, I appreciate any help ;).

Magic C Dwight Howard formally requests trade
ORLANDO, Fla. When Magic star Dwight Howard signed a contract extension in 2007, he joked that he and Mickey Mouse would be in Orlando forever.
Now Howard wants out, putting one of the NBA's most dominant big men on the block at the start of training camp.
Howard acknowledged for the first time Saturday that he has formally requested a trade. It came a day after the team granted New Jersey, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers permission to talk to Howard's agent, Dan Fegan, about possible deals.
The All-Star center is eligible to opt out of his current contract in July 2012.
Wearing a retro Magic hat, Howard spent a stoic half-hour explaining his reasoning and expressed empathy for a fan base that had to watch Shaquille O'Neal depart for the Lakers in 1996. Howard likened his trade request to a divorce that only one party wants.
"I've done everything for this city. I don't think people understand the magnitude of love I have just for this city," he said. "It's beyond basketball. I think people, anybody should understand that. For me this has just not been a city I enjoy playing basketball in. I love everybody here, that's why it's been so tough."
He said the decision went deeper than what happened on the court, but also said recent playoff disappointments played a role. He alluded to the hurt he felt as he watched the Lakers celebrate their 2009 NBA championship on the Magic's home floor.
"I've been back and forth," he said. "Mainly because the people here really care for the city. Nobody's gonna understand that. And if you hate me because of a jersey, then you never really loved me. That' how I feel."
Magic general manager Otis Smith said he would still like to see Howard eventually decide to stay in Orlando, but in the meantime they would explore options that were in the best interests of the Magic.
"When you invest seven years in a player and that's what he decides, then you have to deal with that from that angle. But it's not the end of the world," Smith said. "Like I said before, the Orlando Magic franchise is what it's about. We like to make this into an individual game, but the fact of the matter is it's a team sport. And we'll continue to move forward. "
Smith said there is no timetable or deadline for a trade. Likewise, he said he hasn't allowed himself to get caught up on how the team might adjust if Howard does depart.
"Anytime you lose the best player on your team you have to adjust to that," Smith said.
Talk of Howard's possible departure from Orlando exploded Friday after the center denied an ESPN report that he met with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov and general manager Billy King on Thursday in Miami without the Magic's permission. It followed reports that Howard planned to request a trade to the Nets.
Fegan said in a statement that any claims of tampering are false.

Well, what seemed inevitable is now official. The NBA season is going to be less than 82 games for its teams this season because owners continue to lock out players without a new CBA. The league announced tonight that all games through Nov. 14 are canceled–that means wiped away, not postponed as earlier reports speculated might happen before today's seven-hour negotiation session. For the Hawks, the decision tosses aside games at Minnesota, vs. Boston, at Chicago, vs. New York, vs. Utah and at Orlando. The new tentative season-opener is now Nov. 16 vs. Indiana at Philips. Season-ticket owners will get refunds with interest for the canceled games, including exhibitions. Alex Meruelo still is awaiting league approval of his purchase of the team from ASG, though he's already made several trips to Atlanta and is up to speed on team matters. Why did the league cancel two weeks instead of one? Think it has anything to do with players getting paid every other week during the season

Courageous leadership inspires former POW to overcome fear, lead others
Wednesday - 5/28/2014, 1:15pm EDT
Overcoming fear is a major hurdle for many people in the workplace.
"It's one of the biggest derailers of leadership and performance of all kinds in the workplace and in our lives," said Lee Ellis, former Air Force colonel and leadership expert.
Ellis spoke to Federal News Radio coordinating producer Lauren Larson about his own experience encountering and overcoming fear as a prisoner of war in the infamous Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War.
"I thought I was pretty tough," he said. "I had flown 53 combat missions over enemy territory of the highest order, and I didn't have a lot of fear there. But facing a communist interrogator, face-to-face, when you have no power, no control, and they have control over your life and your food and your shelter and all that sort of stuff, that took a different kind of courage than I really ever had to use before."
Ellis said he did all right, but didn't do as well as he wanted to at times. He was able to draw strength and inspiration from his immediate leader, Capt. Ken Fisher, he said.
"He was mentally tougher than I was," Ellis said. "He'd been a wrestler and he was six years older and I think that made a little difference. I just learned from him. I watched him and I kept pushing myself. I finally developed this philosophy that I teach now which is 'Lean into the pain of your fear to do what you know is right.' To me, that helps me understand what I need to do."
Following the war, Ellis served in various leadership roles in the Air Force, with his final two jobs running leadership schools focusing on officer development. Now, he serves as a leadership consultant and has had his own company for the last 15 years.
"I do a lot of leadership assessment also, so understanding human nature, understanding leadership and leadership principles," he said. "I do executive team building, executive coaching, leadership workshops and then also motivational speaking."
While Ellis was a POW, he saw many examples of courageous leadership. His senior ranking officers were Col. Robbie Risner, Cmdr. James Stockdale and Cmdr. Jeremiah Denton. Future Arizona senator and presidential candidate John McCain was also at the Hanoi Hilton with Ellis.
"The leaders went through first and most often, the torture," Ellis said. "Some of these guys, most of them came in the military right after World War II or right as World War II was ending, so they were kind of the old generation. But they were in their early 40s, very young by my standards today. But they were very experienced and they were well schooled in leadership and very courageous and that made all the difference in the world, because they created a climate or a culture there of leading with honor, as I call it, and set a standard that our goal was to return with honor."
With that as an inspiration, Ellis wrote the book "Leading with Honor: Leadership Lessons from the Hanoi Hilton."
Ellis also recently returned to Vietnam to visit the prison camp, which left him with a lot of mixed emotions.
"That was a heavy, oppressive experience in every way you can imagine," he said. "Being back in that place. ... It was just oppressive to encounter the old prison but also the communist lies. I think the worst thing about it was just realizing how communism is built on lies and when I see that trend coming, not necessarily the trend of communism, but the trend of ideologies and parties being built on lies, it really upsets me. I came home with new commitment to the truth and trying to show people why every time a lie is told, some of our freedom is taken away."

Everybody gets a little nervous on their first day at the new job. It's just kind of a feel it out, how should I dress and look and act kind of time. But Britney Spears nailed it pretty good in her new X-Factor judges gig, in a tight short pink dress that just about speaks to why Britney Spears is on the show — eye candy.
Of course, the girl is going to get a little catty in her wardrobe now that Demi Lovato has also signed on in this sort of combination judge's table slash psych clinic that the X-Factor has geared up for Season Two of the show that seems to have no purpose really other than to extract even more money from teen girls. But I suppose making money is a purpose unto itself. And Britney in tight pink, that's a good way to get the wallets open. Enjoy.

Mahboob was picked up by police and later his body was found on railway tracks
November 1 will always bring memories of pain and anguish to the family of Qaseema Bee, 21, a widow from Lalithabagh locality in old city.
For on this 'unlucky' day her husband, Shaik Mahboob, went missing from the house after a police team came to pick him up. Two days later his body was found on the railway tracks between Uppuguda and Falaknuma railway station.
The ordeal for the family began in the early hours of November 1 when a CCS police team came to the house of Shaik Mahboob to enquire about the whereabouts of his brother-in-law, Ghouse, an alleged property offender. Mahboob, who collected garbage, stayed close to the house of his in-laws.
However, on not finding Ghouse at his house the police picked up his father, Madaar.
The team then headed to Edi Bazaar and detained one Qasim, a relative of Ghouse. "The policemen enquired about Ghouse and detained us. Later in the evening we were brought again to Lalithabagh and we waited for Mahboob to come.
Police felt he could give them some clue," said Qasim.
Meanwhile Mahboob, who reached the house and came to know about police picking up his relatives left the house saying that he was going to the police station, the family members say.
However, later in the night Mahboob called his wife and said that he was ending his life due to police harassment and disconnected the phone. The family immediately rushed to Uppuguda and searched for him as he indicated that he was near Uppuguda. "Though it was raining heavily we searched for him for three to four hours but could not locate him," says Qaseema Bee, wife of the deceased.
It was only on November 3 that Qasim received a call that Mahboob's body was found on the railway tracks. "As I could not understand the language I asked the police to speak. They informed about Mahboob's death and immediately let us off," Qasim said.
The family alleges that two years ago when Mahboob and other family members were picked up by the police they were beaten up with leather belts. "We told police that he is not coming to our house for past six or seven years but again they come and harass us," says a family member.
The family has not come out of the shock as yet. "He headed to work in the morning and came back in the afternoons. Neither did he have the habit of smoking or consuming alcohol," says Hassan, his uncle.
He is worried about the two children left by Mahboob. Who will look after two-year-old Khaja Hussain and four-year-old Hassan Basha?
When contacted the Central Crime Station (CCS) officials denied having either summoned Mahboob or illegally detaining his relatives.

Fulham were tonight held to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League by Dutch club FC Twente.
The Cottagers took the lead thanks to Andy JohnsonтАЩs 19th minute finish which came about when he intercepted Twente defender Dwight TiendalliтАЩs poor squared pass in the back third.
Fulham continued to attack the Twente goal at Craven Cottage but were unable to pierce the opposing defence but they only had themselves to blame for the inefficiency in front of goal.
The Dutch club found themselves on level terms four minutes before half-time when Luuk de JongтАЩs powerful header hit the post before falling into the back of the net as it took a deflection off Cottagers goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.
Although the Australian had no idea of it, the goal will go down as a keeping error and put down on the scoresheet as an own goal.
Clint Dempsey came close twice early in the second half and Steve Sidwell put his header over the crossbar with about 20 minutes remaining but the home side couldnтАЩt find a winner as they had to settle for a point in their opening Group K outing.
Fulham (ENG): 1 (Andy Johnson 19тАЩ)

text: Lopez: Genii will stay in Formula 1 as long as we are interested 4 September, 2013 Gerard Lopez with Kimi Raikkonen Team owner Gerard Lopez insists that he and his organisation are committed to Formula 1, at least for now and he is adamant that the team is not for sale. In the past weeks, he has consistently played down the importance of the confirmed news that Lotus, the Enstone based team formerly known as Renault and Benetton, has debts of € 120 million. He told Russia's Formula 1news.ru that the actual number is not significant to Genii, the investment firm he leads. So, asked if he is sticking with Formula 1 and with the name Lotus, Lopez answered: "I think so. I have already said that we will stay in Formula 1 as long as we are interested. That was the case two years ago, also last year, and nothing has changed. Lotus launch in January "However, not everything depends on us. I cannot say what Formula 1 will be like in three to five years. Our interest depends a lot on whether we are among the best teams in the championship. To win, to fight [with] the best – this is our main motivation to stay," he insisted. Indeed, he said that Lotus cannot be compared to Mercedes or Ferrari, given that Genii "do not sell cars". Formula 1, for an investment firm, "is a platform, not an advertising space", said Lopez. "Generally, having an F1 team in itself is definitely not a project that can bring profits. For us it is enough that the team is just not unprofitable," he added. For that reason, Lopez said, Lotus is not for sale. "We do not hide that we are looking for partners, we talk about it openly, but we are not talking about a sale of the team. It's not the same thing," he insisted. (GMM) Subbed by AJN.

Michigan Broncos
Although the talent level and expectations were high enough for the
Broncos to be playing in December, the execution and consistency was
not, resulting in a disappointing 5-7 season. With a break here or
a timely big play there, the final record could just have easily
been 8-4 for Western Michigan, which lost three league games in a
span of five weeks by a combined eight points. The Broncos finished
the regular season strong, especially on defense, lending hope that
the good vibes will bleed into the offseason.
Offensive Player of the Year: RB Brandon West
Defensive Player of the Year: CB Londen Fryar
Biggest Surprise: With the postseason officially out of
reach, the Broncos turned a Nov. 17 trip to Iowa City into their own
personal bowl game. Western Michigan floored Iowa on Senior Day,
28-19, getting 367 yards and three touchdown passes from Tim Hiller,
easily the quarterback's most complete performance of the season.
Biggest Disappointment: Although there were a few to choose
from, losing on Oct. 6 to Akron on the final play was an outcome
that sent Western Michigan into a month-long funk. Seemingly on
their way to a 3-3 record, the Broncos inexcusably permitted an
89-yard kick return for a touchdown with time running out, losing
Looking Ahead: Assuming the right side of the offensive line
can be rebuilt, Western Michigan has enough returning veterans to
erase the memory of last season's underachievement. It's incumbent
upon Hiller to build on last year's solid finish, and mak

Western Michigan 16 ... Temple 3
It took a while for Western Michigan to wake up, but a
five-yard Branden Ledbetter touchdown catch in the second quarter would be all
the points needed. The Temple offense gained a mere 146 yards and managed just
three points on a second quarter Jake Brownell field goal. The Broncos put the
game away with a one yard Mark Bonds touchdown run and a 33-yard Chris Kelly
field goal in the third.
Player of the
Michigan RB Mark Bonds ran 24 times for 105 yards and a touchdown, and caught a
pass for 13 yards.
Stat Leaders: Temple - Passing: Vaughn Charlton, 6-25, 92
Rushing: Jason Harper, 9-40. Receiving: Jason Harper, 2-44
Western Michigan - Passing: Tim Hiller, 24-39, 276 yds, 1
Rushing: Mark Bonds, 24-105, 1 TD. Receiving: Herb Martin, 7-100
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Considering this was a disappointing year, closing
out with wins over Iowa and Temple certainly eased the pain. The defense showed
up and the team started winning again. With so many close losses, and with the
way the team played against the Hawkeyes and Owls, there's some momentum
generated into the offseason. It shouldn't take much work to get into MAC title
contention next year.
Nov. 17
Western Michigan 28 ... Iowa 19
Western Michigan stunned Iowa with three Tim Hiller touchdown
passes including strikes to Anthony Middleton from 35 and seven yards out, with
the first one making it 19-0 midway through the first half. Iowa found its
offense with three Jake Christensen touchdown passes, but three turnovers proved
costly hurt most by a fumble in the final few minutes leading to a
game-clinching 30-yard Chris Kelly field goal. The Broncos outgained the
Hawkeyes 489 yards to 397.
Player of the game:
Western Michigan QB Tim Hiller completed 26 of 45
passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns.
Stat Leaders: Western Michigan - Passing: Tim Hiller,
26-45, 367 yds, 3 TD
Rushing: Brandon West, 30-116. Receiving: Brandon West, 9-93, 1 TD
Iowa - Passing: Jake Christensen, 20-37, 249 yds, 3 TD, 2
Rushing: Albert Young, 17-95. Receiving: Brandon Myers, 6-59, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
That's the Tim Hiller the MAC has been waiting for. He bombed away on Iowa with
confidence in his throws and making good decisions time and again taking what
the defense was giving him. For one of the first times all year, the defense
started to resemble last year's group that got into the backfield early and
often with four sacks. Most shocking was the time the O line gave Hiller to
work. It was fine for the running game, but Hiller had just enough time to
operate and make almost every keep throw to keep control of the game.
Nov. 7
Central Michigan 34 ... Western Michigan 31
Central Michigan sealed the MAC West title with a one-yard Dan
LeFevour sneak with 12 seconds to play, after just missing on a sneak on the
play before, to cap a wild fourth quarter. CMU held a 10-7 after three, and then
the fireworks began with each team scoring 24 points in the fourth quarter.
Western Michigan got two Tim Hiller touchdown passes in the final frame to keep
up with CMU, who got a five-yard LeFevour run along with a 14-yard touchdown
pass to Antonio Brown as the two defenses couldn't come up with a stop until
late. Trying to run out the clock, LeFevour fumbled leading to a 15-yard Brandon
West touchdown with 1:34 to play for a 31-27 WMU lead. A long pass to Bryan
Anderson set up the final score, going 65 yards in eight plays.
Player of the
Central Michigan
QB Dan LeFevour completed 23 of 38 passes for 235 yards and a
touchdowns with an interception, and ran 18 times for 72 yards and two scores.
Stat Leaders: Central Michigan - Passing: Dan

Rushing: Den LeFevour, 18-72, 2 TD. Receiving:

311 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Brandon West, 12-72, 1 TD. Receiving: Herb
Martin, 7-38, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Lack
of a consistent running game and struggles early on cost WMU a chance to beat
Central Michigan. The D did what it could on the late goal line stand, but by
then the big play had already happened to all but seal the win for the Chippewas.
There was about a minute left when CMU had the ball on the six-inch line down
four. WMU should've thought about allowing the score to get the ball back with a
shot at a field goal. Instead, the inevitable touchdown gave the ball to the
Broncos with just enough time for an ill-fated attempt at a miracle. Now comes a
trip to Iowa to likely make the lousy season plunge further into the abyss.

Eastern Michigan 19 ... Western Michigan
Eastern Michigan held on to the ball for 40:29, including
12:41 in the fourth, getting a 55-yard Dontayo Gage touchdown run, a 19-yard
Jacory Stone catch, and Zach Johnson field goals from 25 and 50 yards out as
part of a 19-0 scoring run. Western Michigan started off the scoring with a sack
for a safety, but the offense turned it over six times and only managed 199
yards of total offense.

Rushing: Pierre Walker, 33-151. Receiving: Jacory Stone, 5-70, 1 TD
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... What was
that? Eastern Michigan's defense isn't that good, but the WMU offense crashed
and burned giving up six turnovers and didn't threaten to change things around
after the game started going south. The defense isn't blameless, giving up 255
rushing yards and allowing the Eagles to convert third down after third down.
This disappointing season could take a good turn up with a win over Central
Michigan next week, but it'll be too little, too late.
Oct. 20
Ball State 27 ... Western Michigan 23
Ball State went 79 yards in nine plays, capped off by a
one-yard Frank Edmonds touchdown run with 1:09 to play, to get the
win. Western Michigan got three Mike Jones field goals a one-yard
Tim Hiller touchdown run, and a 50-yard scoring pass to Jordan
White, but Ball State kept pace with Nate Davis touchdown passes
from 34 and 44 yards out, along with Jake Hogue field goals, until
the final drive. The two teams combined for 15 penalties.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Devastating. Western Michigan needed one
defensive stop against Ball State late, didn't get it, and now the
MAC title hopes might be gone, as are any bowl hopes, without
winning out. Fortunately, there are winnable dates with Eastern
Michigan and Temple ahead, along with the showdown against Central
Michigan. First, beating EMU is a must, and to do that, the mistakes
have to stop. Tim Hiller can't throw three picks again.
Oct. 13
Western Michigan 17 ... Northern Illinois 13
Western Michigan got a one-yard Mark Bonds touchdown run in
the second quarter, took the lead with a seven-yard Branden
Ledbetter scoring catch in the third quarter, and led the defense do
the rest, as NIU couldn't score in the second half after getting a
59-yard Matt Simon touchdown catch in the first quarter and a Chris
Nendick field goal in the second. NIU was outgained 396 yards to 333
and only had the ball for less than nine minutes in the second half.

It might not have been the prettiest offense performance in the win
over Northern Illinois, but with the defense cranking things up a
notch for a full 60 minutes, the Broncos got over the crushing loss
to Akron to get back into the MAC race. Tim Hiller had an efficient
day throwing the ball, and Mark Bonds provided nice balance, but
there will have to be more explosion to beat Ball State next week.
Oct. 6
Akron 39 ... Western Michigan 38
A wild game with 992 yards of total offense became a
game-of-the-year candidate with an all-timer of an ending. Western
Michigan took a 38-24 lead with 12:25 to play on a seven-yard Mark
Bonds run. Akron couldn't respond until Jabari Arthur caught a
51-yard touchdown pass, his third score of the day, with less than
five minutes. to play. WMU couldn't run out the clock, and instead
of risking a punt return for a score, chose to take a safety with 15
seconds to play. On the free kick, Alphonso Owen fielded the ball
and went 11 yards before getting stopped. Before going down, he was
able to get the ball to Andre Jones, who took it 78 yards for an
improbable score with no time left on the clock for the 39-38 win.
The play overshadowed a huge day from Arthur, who caught 15 passes
for 223 yards and three touchdowns, and big performances from both
quarterbacks. Akron's Chris Jacquemain threw for 389 yards and four
scores, and WMU's Tim Hiller threw for 375 yards and three

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
How mentally tough is Western Michigan? After losing in brutal
fashion to Akron, the team has to quickly regroup, forget about this
gaffe, and blowout a bad Northern Illinois team on the road. The
parts are working. Tim Hiller has been excellent. There's good
offensive balance, and there's consistency and explosion. The
defense is a big problem, but the offense should be able to outbomb
most teams anyway. The season is far from lost, but now there's no
margin for MAC error.
Sept. 29
Western Michigan 42 ... Toledo 28
Western Michigan ran for 280 yards, with Brandon West and Mark
Bonds each going over 100, and each scoring twice as part of a 28
point mid-game run for a 35-14 lead. Toledo kept fighting, getting a
late 35-yard Jalen Parmele touchdown run, and a 15-yard Andrew
Hawkins score, but it wasn't nearly enough. WMU held on to the ball
for 37:48.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... WMU
is starting to wake up. The running game dominated Toledo, while the
defense started to play a little like it was expected to when the
season started. There still isn't much of a pass rush, but the pass
defense was tough, allowing the Rockets to complete just nine of 23
passes, while Tim Hiller was ultra-efficient. This was how the team
was expected to play, and now it has to be considered among the MAC
favorites again after a lousy 0-3 non-conference start.
Sept. 22
Western Michigan 51 ... Central
Connecticut State 14
Helped by five turnovers forced by the defense, Western
Michigan rolled without a problem. A 32-yard Boston McCornell
interception return for a touchdown gave the Broncos a 17-0 first
quarter, and then after a three-yard Adrian Hull touchdown run for
CCSU, the Bronco offense exploded for 34 straight points helped by
Tim Hiller's second touchdown pass of the day and a five-yard Mark
Bonds touchdown run.

Finally, Western Michigan gets its first win of the year, and it
doesn't matter that it came against Central Connecticut State. The
defense started to play like the D of last year, with several plays
made in the backfield and forcing several mistakes and turnovers.
The offense wasn't exactly clicking, but it took advantage of every
opportunity. Now the real season begins with a date at Toledo next
week. Could this be the spark needed for the rest of the year?
That's asking for too much, but it was a much needed win.
Sept. 15
Missouri 52 ... Western Michigan 24
Missouri got out to a 31-3 halftime lead highlighted by a
24-yard Jeremy Maclin touchdown catch and a 25-yard Tommy Saunders
scoring grab. But Western Michigan came back to make it interesting,
starting with a 46 yard interception return for a touchdown from C.J.
Wilson. Tim Hiller connected with Branden Ledbetter for a 27-yard
score to make it 38-24 Mizzou, but that was as close as the Broncos
would get. Daniel ran for a 35-yard score and Chase Patton added an
18-yard touchdown run to pull away.

Frustration can't start creeping in yet. At the end of the day, WMU
was supposed to get blown out be West Virginia and Missouri and it
was supposed to lose on the road to Indiana. The offense has taken
too long to get going, but when it does, there's been good
production from Tim Hiller and the passing game. Now it has to
figure out how to roll from the opening kickoff. What's the team's
biggest difference from last year? The pass rush isn't there.
Sept. 8
Indiana 37 ... Eastern Michigan 27
Indiana jumped out to a 31-7 first half lead helped by two
James Hardy touchdown catches, a 24-yard Josiah Sears scoring grab,
and a 44-yard Greg Middleton fumble recovery for a score, and then
Western Michigan came back. Down 34-7, the Broncos answered a
23-yard Austin Starr field goal with a 98-yard Brandon West kickoff
return for a score as part of a 20-3 run. It wasn't enough as the
Hoosier defense finally stiffened late, but not before Tim Hiller
found Jamarko Simmons and Brandon Ledbetter for touchdowns.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
Broncos aren't bringing the pressure they were able to throughout
last year, and it's killing the defensive back seven. The offense
took a while to get going against the Hoosiers, and it was helped by
IU letting up, but QB Tim Hiller still
came through with a strong 343-yard performance with Jamarko Simmons
showing why he's one of the MAC's elite offensive playmakers with 14
catches. To have any shot against Missouri, the offense has to be
bombing away from the word go, but there has to be decent pass
protection for Hiller, who was sacked eight times by IU.
Sept. 1
West Virginia 62 ... Western
Michigan 24
Western Michigan shut down the West Virginia running game was
shut down ... in the first quarter. The Mountaineers only gained 16 on the
ground in the first frame, but still had a 14-7 lead as Pat White threw a
19-yard touchdown pass to Dorrell Jalloh and combined with Steve Slaton on a
50-yard score. Eventually, everything worked as usual for the Mountaineers, who
finished with 316 rushing yards and turned the jets on with White tearing off a
brilliant 38-yard run and Slaton scoring on two one-yard runs to go along with a
58-yard dash. Western Michigan stayed around for a half on the first of two
Jamarko Simmons touchdown catches and a two-yard Tim Hiller run, but the defense
couldn't slow down the WVU machine.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... West
Virginia can rumble on anyone in America, so there's no reason to be too
concerned about the way the Broncos were blown out. The problem was how the
offense couldn't keep up the pace with an attack good enough to throw on almost
any secondary. At least, it should be good enough. The quarterback situation is
still up in the air, as Tim Hiller and Thomas Peregrin each struggled. On a
positive note, Jamarko Simmons was incredible catching 14 passes for 144 yards
and two scores.
Sept. 1 – at
West Virginia
Offense: Unlike most schools that run the spread
offense, West Virginia aims to open lanes for its prolific ground
game, rarely putting the ball in the air more than 20 times a game.
The Mountaineers want the ball in the hands of its two junior
Heisman candidates, quarterback Patrick White and running back Steve
Slaton. Along with receiver Darius Reynaud, they form the fastest
offensive trio in America, and are threats for six with even a hint
of daylight. White is an underrated passer that rarely misses his
target, but needs more help from a receiving corps that's suspect
after Reynaud. Few schools rebuild on the offensive line better
than West Virginia, but how will the unit react without its
long-time quarterback Dan Mozes and long-time coach Rick Trickett?
Defense: Lost in all the yards the Mountaineer offense gained
in 2006 was all the yards the defense allowed. West Virginia
allowed 35 or more points three times last fall and was torched
through the air repeatedly over the second half of the year. Worse,
this once relentless defense had trouble getting to the quarterback
and looked a step slow. Rich Rodriguez is banking on a few tweaks
to the back eight and an influx of faster players as the solutions
in the team's 3-3-5 stack formation. Led by playmaking senior
safety Eric Wicks, the secondary has a glut of really talented
athletes that need to gel into a cohesive unit.
Sept. 8 - Indiana
Offense: The IU spread offense has the pieces in place with
rising star quarterback Kellen Lewis about to come into his own as a
leader, and a good receiving corps to put up big numbers, led by
James Hardy. There's speed at running back, but Marcus Thigpen and
Demetrius McCray have to be more productive. The X factor is the
line, which the late Terry Hoeppner did a great job of putting
together in the 2006 recruiting class. Rodger Saffold and Pete Saxon
are just two who should upgrade the front.
Defense: The IU defense has struggled over the last few years
to slow anyone down, but now the youth movement should produce
results. The goal is to bend but not break, and now there has to be
less breaking. It's still a young overall group, but there's
experience and potential, especially at corner where Tracy Porter
and Leslie Majors should be among the Big Ten's best. There's little
proven pass rush up front, while the linebacking corps is small and
quick by design.
Sept. 15 – at Missouri
Offense: If all the parts are working as expected, this
should be one of the nation's five most productive offenses with an
embarrassment of riches to work with. Junior QB Chase Daniel is
growing into a star leader with more than enough weapons to choose
from. The tight end combination of Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman
is the best in the nation, Will Franklin can fly on the outside, and
Tony Temple leads a small, quick backfield that'll rip through the
holes created by a talented, experienced line. The problems?
Consistency and proven play in crunch time. The numbers are going to
be there, but they have to come against the top teams in the big
Defense: The whole will be greater than the sum of the parts.
A pass rush will emerge eventually from the outside linebackers as
well as end Stryker Sulak, while Brock Christopher has the makings
of an All-Big 12 performer at middle linebacker. The secondary will
be fine thanks to the return of starting corners Darnell Terrell and
Hardy Ricks, but replacing safeties David Overstreet and Brandon
Massey won't be easy. There's tremendous speed and athleticism in
the back seven, several good young players to get excited about
among the backups, and an excellent tackle pair in Evander Hood and
Lorenzo Williams to anchor things up front. Now the D has to prove
it can come through on a consistent basis against the top teams.
Sept. 22 - Central Connecticut State
Sept. 29 – at Toledo
Offense: Injuries hit the offensive line last year and killed
the production and the consistency. With John Greco back at left
tackle and a slew of big redshirt freshmen, the front five should be
better and could be fantastic is David Perkins and Jerry Aguwa
return to their pre-injury form. The spread offense should improve
with quarterback Aaron Opelt looking better and Clint Cochran
healthy again after a knee problem. The receiving corps is big,
fast, and so far, disappointing. That could quickly change
considering all the interesting targets. Jalen Parmele and DaJuane
Collins form a good 1-2 rushing punch that needs to stay healthy
with the off-the-field issues of Richard Davis and Scooter McDougle.
Defense: Defensive coordinator Tim Rose has done a good job
over the last two years using a flexible 3-4 alignment that
occasionally morphs into a 4-2-5. Now it has to be better after
getting bombed on by everyone over the first half of last year and
only produced once the schedule lightened up. Seven starters return
along with plenty of depth, especially up front, and now there have
to be more big plays and more pressure into the backfield. Greg Hay
and Keith Forestal form a strong 1-2 linebacking punch, while the
safety tandem of Tyrrell Herbert and Barry Church is among the best
in the MAC.
Oct. 6 - Akron
Offense: The offense was a major disappointment last
season with almost no production from a veteran offensive line and
too much of a reliance on the passing game. Now the running game,
with a good 1-2 punch of Dennis Kennedy and Andre Walker, should
provide more pop, but the the line, with four new starters, has to
be far better. The quarterback situation will be unsettled going
into the fall with Carlton Jackson, Chris Jaquemain, and Sean Hakes
all in the race. The receiving corps is fast and experienced, and
now everyone has to play beyond their talent level to help out
whoever the new passer will be.
Defense: The 3-3-5 defense of Jim Fleming was excellent last
year, and it should be even better with eight starters returning and
the right pieces in place. To run this type of defense, you need big
linemen. Check. The Zips have 300-pounders in a rotation at tackle
and big size at the other two spots. You need playmaking
linebackers. Check. Three starters return with excellent depth to
rotate in. You also need a secondary to hold it's own. Not a
problem. Four starters return in the back five led by veteran
corners Reggie Corner and Davanzo Tate.
Oct. 13 – at Northern Illinois
Offense: New offensive coordinator Roy Wittke will put his
stamp on the attack early on with more passing plays, more variety,
and more funky motions and formations. That'll all mean more from
the passing game, and while it wasn't ignored last year, it was
mostly used when Garrett Wolfe was either tired or shut down. Six
starters return, but this is still a young group with only two
seniors on the depth chart. The line was a problem this spring, but
it's very big with the potential to be great ... next year. There
will be a steady rotation of backs, led mostly by Montell Clanton
and Justin Anderson, and more passes spread around, with Britt Davis
the number one target. Dan Nicholson has to be a steady leader of
the show.
Defense: The NIU defense is steady with several good, sound
players, but for all the quickness and all the athleticism, there
weren't nearly enough big plays, not enough production from the
secondary, and a good, but not great, year against the run. While
the corners will be better, expect more of the same from the front
seven; for good and bad. End Larry English and tackle Craig Rusch
will be regulars in the backfield. This won't be the nation's 90th
ranked defense again, and it'll do a good job of bending, but not
Oct. 20 - Ball State
Offense: The offense grew into something special as Nate
Davis emerged as one of the MAC's star passers. He should be even
better after surviving his true freshman season, and with four
starters returning on the line, he should have more time to operate.
The receiving corps should be fantastic led by tight end Darius Hill
and receiver Dante Love, who's growing into a good number one
target. Don't expect too much from the running game even with the
expected emergence of quick sophomore MiQuale Lewis.
Defense: Awful for the last two seasons, the defense started
to get a little better as last year went on and should make even
bigger strides with plenty of experience returning. Six starters are
back, and most of the new starters have seen enough time to be ready
to hit the ground running. The 3-4 is good at getting into the
backfield, but there haven't been enough sacks and not nearly enough
consistent production against power running teams. The pass defense
has been non-existent for the last two seasons. Corners Trey Lewis
and Trey Buice have been around, and can hit, but if they don't
cover better, the Cardinals won't be able to take the next step.
Oct. 27 – at Eastern Michigan
EMU's defense hasn't been productive in
years, but if there's not a major improvement this year with ten
starters returning along with a slew of experienced depth, it might
never happen. Junior Daniel Holtzclaw is a superstar middle
linebacker who'll be the one the rest of the defense revolves
around. Tackles Jason Jones and Josh Hunt can't stop the run, but
they're regulars in opposing backfields. As long as the corners and
ends start to produce, and the experience and quickness at all spots
makes up for a general lack of size, things should be better after
finishing 116th in the nation against run and 98th in total defense.
Defense: New offensive coordinator Scott Ispohording has his
work cut out for him despite getting seven starters back along with
a ton of experienced depth. The supposed wide-open offense was awful
with no ground game from the running backs and even less of a
passing attack with quarterbacks Andy Schmitt and Tyler Jones
basically running, running and running some more. The line should be
better with three returning starters and a decent interior, but the
offense won't go anywhere unless Pierre Walker, or possible Jones,
turns into a reliable tailback. The loss of top receiver Eric
Deslauriers means the passing game will be spread out among several
options with the hope for former quarterback Dontayo Gage to turn
into a true number one.
Nov. 6 - Central Michigan
Defense: Statistically, the defense struggled throughout last
year. Actually, it wasn't that bad as many of the numbers came when
the game was already decided. This year's D doesn't have a Dan
Bazuin up front, but it has Steven Friend leading a group of good
tackles, while there should be a good rotation of ends. The
linebacking corps gets better with Ike Brown back from the knee
injury that cost him almost all of last year, while the secondary
gets three starters back, along with promising corner Chaz West.
This won't be a rock of a defense, but it'll be good enough to win
another title with.
Offense: Thanks to the emergence of quarterback Dan LeFevour,
the offense went from decent to ultra-efficient, leading the MAC in
yards and scoring. The passing game became fantastic, and the ground
game, while not always getting enough from the backs, hit home run
after home run. Now there will be more running from the backs,
especially Ontario Sneed and Notre Dame transfer Justin Hoskins, and
less running from LeFevour. The receiving corps is good enough for
LeFevour to spread the ball around to several different targets. The
line won't be as good as last year, after losing two key starters,
but it'll be fine.
Nov. 17 –
at Iowa
Offense: The Jake Christensen era starts after four years of the Drew
Tate regime, but backup quarterback Arvell Nelson is a terrific prospect who
could push hard this fall. With the 1-2 rushing punch of Albert Young and Damian
Sims, the ground game will be strong if the questionable offensive line pulls
out a better season than last year (when injuries were a major problem).
Dominique Douglas and Andy Brodell are emerging targets, and they'll shine with
a passer like Christensen winging it. As good as Christensen might be, the
offense will try to run first.
Defense: You basically know what you're getting with the Iowa defense.
It's not going to do anything fancy, it's not going to bring any funky blitzes,
and most teams should be able to get yards through the air without a problem.
However, everyone can hit and there are few mistakes made. Eight starters
return, led by end Ken Iwebema and one of the Big Ten's best lines, while the
replacements for the departed starters are good. Forcing more turnovers, making
more plays behind the line, and generating more pressure are all vital to coming
up with a better year.
Nov. 24 - Temple
Offense: There
was a little bit of improvement; the offense averaged 10.92 points per game
after averaging 9.73 in 2005. There's plenty of experience and a major infusion
of talent at running back and receiver, but can any of them play? The attack
will rely on several true freshmen all over the place while praying for a major,
major improvement on the offensive line. The quarterback situation is
solid with Adam DiMichele and Vaughn Charlton each good enough to start after
seeing plenty of time last season. Whatever happens, the offense will average
more than a nation's worst 215.67 yards per game.
Defense: The good: The D improved giving up nine fewer yards and four
fewer points per game than in 2005. The bad: The Owls were 117th in the nation
in total defense and 118th in scoring D. The 2008 version should be tremendous
once all the freshmen and sophomores are crusty veterans, but for now, there's
good competition at almost every spot with no sure-thing starter. The defensive
line should be far better with an instant infusion of talent, while the back
seven has potential, especially at linebacker, to make a big jump in production.
It would be nice if a true shut-down corner could quickly emerge with the hope
that JUCO transfer Tommie Williams will be that guy. Don't expect miracles, but
the overall numbers should improve.

Mumbai, Thane and Kalyan will go to polls on April 24. The election commission said over 7 crore voters from Maharashtra will elect 48 Lok Sabha members over three days next month.
The first phase of the polls will be held on April 10 in which voters of Buldhana, Akola, Amravati, Wardha, Ramtek, Nagpur, Bhandara-Gondia, Gadchiroli-Chimur, Chandrapur and Yavatmal-Washim (all 10 seats in Vidarbha) will take part.
The second phase, to be held on April 17, will cover 19 constituencies falling in Marathwada and Western Maharashtra regions. These are Ahmednagar, Baramati, Beed, Hatkanangle, Hingoli, Kolhapur, Latur, Maval, Madha, Nanded, Osmanabad, Parbhani, Pune, Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, Shirur, Shirdi, Solapur, Sangli and Satara.

As per the latest figures provided by chief electoral officer, Maharashtra, Nitin Gadre, the state at present has over 7 crore voters. However, for those who have yet not registered, the election commission has announced a massive drive across the state on March 9.
The election commission also announced holding by-elections for the assembly seat of Sillod due to the death of the sitting MLA, Subhash Jhanak, on April 10, along with the Lok Sabha polls.
Gadre also announced setting up of a call-centre to register complaints against the candidates who defy the rules of model code of conduct or exceed the expenditure limits prescribed by the EC.
However, the election commission is still struggling to update the photo electoral rolls in its database. "We are now close to 76%. We are hopeful of improving the figure in the coming days," Gadre added.
On top cop apppointment
Nitin Gadre, CEO, state election commission on Wednesday refused to comment on the issue of appointment of Rakesh Maria as city's new police commissioner. He said the matter is between the election commission of India and the Home department of state government

Someone is always unhappy with the music
Music is the lit dynamite of liturgical debates. It is the struck match in a parched field; the gasoline-soaked rag stuffed in a bottle and tossed, flaming, into the crowd. Music is a marker: "Thee's to the right; You's to the left. Please, no talking."
I once walked into the Bishop DeFalco Retreat Center in Amarillo, Texas, and paused at the sign prohibiting firearms. I looked around for the other sign directing me to the hymnody conference.

Dominance: Empathy, Cooperation, Fairness and Reciprocity in Animals?
In this recent TED talk, top primatologist Frans de Waal discusses his early years and the disquiet he felt at the prevailing obsession with aggression and dominance in defining primate social behaviour. Social interactions within many species, but particularly primates, is in reality a complex mosiac of different dynamics, most of which have nothing to do with competitiveness and dominance. Perhaps this provides some evolutionary signposts as to the origin of moral behaviour in humans?
Videos: Recent scientific research about dogs.. and us.
Despite their unparallelled popularity amongst humans, until the end of last century there had been very little dedicated scientific inquiry into the domestic dog. Not into its behaviour, the beguiling history of its domestication or even that ubiquitous bond they seem to have forged with our species.
Nowadays it doesn't take too much effort to find snippets of useful information on the internet, but it's often the same old stuff. However, this programme "The Secret Life Of The Dog", an episode of the popular BBC series Horizon, should be required viewing for anyone with a real interest in dogs, and their unique relationship with us. Those from the UK have probably already seen it, but for the rest of us it's a real treat.

What is Your Musical "Slam Dunk"?Posted By from October 29, 2012
Greets from the road!
Each tour has an outer experience and an inner experience. This tour has been especially wonderful in terms of the inner journey.
Outer stuff: The shows, posters, Facebook posts, and fan interaction, travel, making new friends, etc.
Inner stuff: What's going on inside emotionally, reaching for artistic goals, new melodies / tunes that become a fresh "soundtrack" of the tour, where I stand on my scale of inner peace, etc.
The last few gigs have been quite satisfying on the inner plane, and here's why - I am experiencing a new level of "harmony" between my playing on stage and my core values.
Here are some guidelines which hopefully will stimulate some ideas – and please feel free to disagree with me:
Becoming the Artist You Are Supposed to Be
You can't get the deep satisfaction I am describing through imitating someone else.
Others may inspire you, but the gem and the gift to the world is YOU in your full honesty. It might feel fragile and unfamiliar to you at first to accept the idea that YOU are valuable and precious, but it's special and that's what I'd want to hear from you.
The big question you need to ask yourself is "what is my musical slam dunk?"
Be clear on what your values are, and work at them day by day as you practice. If you are blown about like a leaf in the wind, imitating someone one day, then something or someone else the next day, or employing a "gimmick" – you can't get to this deep satisfaction I am describing.
Or if your slam dunk is "A" but you are doing "B" because you want others to accept you, you'll probably never achieve the artistic heights you could – because being an artist is a 360 degree full on, HONEST endeavor.
If you are a beginner or a young person learning who you are and just starting to play, be clear on what you like about other people's music as you learn the craft of music.
This can be tricky when you are under a teacher's guidance – as students tend to adopt the likes and dislikes of their teachers.
Just be honest. What do you like and what do you dislike? It's all ok!
My "slam dunk" is a combination of things…
After two separate gigs people told me they felt a "warm flow" come over them during my gig as their smiles beamed. Dang, that's what I'm talking about! I made people feel good – that's evidence of my slam dunk!
Knowing what I don't like helps too.
While this may sound grumbly and negative – I am clear on these points.
Only honesty with your own values combined with diligent work of slogging it out day by day, will ultimately bring about a deep, meaningful experience for you and the audience.
What are your values, musically or entertainment wise? (be honest!)
What's your slam dunk?

GOP split 3 ways in mayor's race
Prominent candidates' focus has been more on each other than lone Democrat
With three high-profile Republicans vying to become San Diego's next mayor, party members and right-leaning voters are largely divided as they decide between candidates with distinguished pedigrees and divergent styles.
Should they go with experience? Vote for the fiscal hawk? Or back the one with lofty plans for the city's future? About the only thing they agree on is that Rep. Bob Filner, the lone major Democrat in the race, can't be allowed to become mayor.
With the Republican base fractured in its support for the candidates — City Councilman Carl DeMaio, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and state Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher — the mayor's race is quickly becoming a free-for-all as each tries to convince party faithful that they represent the best chance to defeat Filner.
President Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment — "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican" — has been violated several times this month as the race began in earnest with three forums in eight days.
DeMaio blasted Fletcher for accepting union endorsements and crafting a late-night deal in Sacramento to expand redevelopment in San Diego. Fletcher labeled DeMaio as a divisive figure at City Hall and a hypocrite for accepting support from developers. Dumanis harped on her opponents' lack of experience while they criticized the sizable public pension she'll collect when she retires.
Tony Krvaric, head of the local Republican Party, said he doesn't have any problem with fierce competition among the three candidates.
"I think that whoever makes it out will be better for it," he said. "I'm actually encouraging people to pick one and get in behind him or her, give 'em money, volunteer for them, do whatever, but just make the commitment upfront to unite post-June."
The race is technically nonpartisan, but party politics play a major role. The conventional wisdom is that the crowded field means no one will win outright in the June 5 primary, so the top two finishers will compete in a November runoff. Filner is a heavy favorite for one of those slots because he is the only high-profile Democrat running, and his party has the most registered voters in the city by a wide margin.
DeMaio, who helped craft a ballot initiative headed for the June ballot that would replace pensions with a 401(k)-style plan for most new city hires, is fashioning himself as the only candidate who will follow through on reforms that would end San Diego's financial woes. He says his Republican counterparts, who also support the initiative, would rather talk about a brighter future for the city.
"It should concern each and every one of you to hear someone wanting to be San Diego's next mayor declare the fiscal crisis is over because either it's a stunning admission of ignorance of the true nature of the city's financial problems, or it's a revelation that they are not committed to make the reforms that the city needs to make in its budget, in its pension system," DeMaio said. "You should accept neither."
Dumanis, 60, said the three Republicans have basically the same ideas but that DeMaio and Fletcher lack the experience necessary to take action. She has made several not-so-subtle digs at the age of her far younger opponents (DeMaio is 37; Fletcher is 35).

Hi folks.
I'm in search of something that can view reg files in an external viewer. If you're familiar with IrfanView, you know you can press the space bar to view the next file in the directory, F2 to rename, F7 to move, delete to delete and so on. IrfanView can view ANSI files that contain text but not Unicode files so renaming to reg files to txt does not work.
The only viewers I've been able to find is Lister (part of Total Commander) and a bunch of registry hive viewers. Lister only lets you go forward and back. No editing or anything else.
Anyone, know of something that functions like IrfanView but for reg files?
