Expressing concern over the burgeoning "love-related" violence, MLCs Chukka Ramaiah and K. Nageshwar have asked the Government to study the problem from the social and psychological angles apart from dealing it with a firm hand legally.
At a press conference here on Sunday, Mr. Ramaiah said the series of such incidents in recent times was disturbing and said the problem should be studied comprehensively involving sociologists, psychologists, legal professionals and the police. This time-bound committee's report should be put up for public discussion and taken seriously in order to prevent such attacks. Stating that classroom atmosphere is disconnected with society, he said colleges need to engage students and provide other means like sports, extra-curricular activities, literary activities and social issues to channelise their energies. There is a need to change the mindset of students to deal with such issues effectively. Referring to teachers indulging in indecent activities, he pointed out that there could be nothing low in the life of a teacher than losing the confidence of students.
He said the production, sale, distribution and transportation of acid should be strictly regulated. He reminded that West Bengal had banned easy availability of acid and similar steps should be taken here also.
Prof. Nageshwar said there was a strong co-relation between such heinous acts and portrayal of "love" in vulgar form in films. He said that the film and television industry should observe self-regulation or else they are bound to incur the wrath of the society given the growing crime. He said education in colleges had become a torture with focus only on the "success rate" .
Non-bailable offence
He felt attacks by spurned lovers should be treated as non-bailable offences as the softer side of law was encouraging a feeling among culprits that they could go scot-free. Fast tracks courts should be established to try these cases.
Madhusudhan Reddy, general secretary, Government Junior Lecturers Association, said they were planning to conduct seminars in all the districts to sensitise students on such issues. Juluri Gowrishanker, president, Ramaiah Vidya Peetham said television channels were glamourising crimeand they would mobilise people to put pressure on the channels to do away with such tendency.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo / Marie De Jesus, Gannett
ALBANY (AP) -- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he no longer plans to call lawmakers back to the Capitol after issuing an executive order to free up $16 million in flood aid Wednesday.
Cuomo, a Democrat, had said he was open to calling a special session of the Legislature to make state funds available to property owners hit by recent flooding in the Mohawk Valley and Niagara County if the Federal Emergency Management Agency didn't make grants available.
Instead, Cuomo said Wednesday he would dip into the state's own disaster funds, with a blessing from legislative leaders.
"It's a lot of money, but it's your neighbors saying, 'We're here to help you,'" Cuomo said in Herkimer Wednesday.
All told, Niagara, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida and Herkimer counties will share the aid, which also includes money to help the counties plan better for future flooding.
The possibility of a special session had given hope to advocates who had seen their issues languish during the regular 2013 legislative session, which wrapped up late last month. Most notably, Cuomo's 10-point "Women's Equality Act" did not pass both houses after Senate Republicans balked at a measure to strengthen the state's abortion laws and Assembly Democrats refused to take it out.
Homeowners would be eligible for up to $31,900 in grants and loans, according to Cuomo's office, while businesses would qualify for up to $50,000 under the state program. More than 500 homes were damaged in the recent round of flooding, which came after heavy downpours hit already saturated areas of the state in recent weeks.

Stagnant wages, immigration fuel Singapore squeeze
"We need to slow the intake of foreign workers and concentrate on raising the productivity and incomes of Singaporean workers instead," he said.
The government in recent years has also courted events such as Formula 1 - a predominantly European sport with little local following - and allowed two casino resorts, where citizens must pay a $78 fee per day to gamble, while foreigners enter for free.
"Some feel that we're creating this place to be a playground for the rich," said Eugene Tan, assistant professor at Singapore Management University. "There are people who genuinely feel that Singaporeans don't come first."
The PAP has long rejected policies such as a minimum wage or public retirement pensions, arguing welfare state-style policies would undermine competitiveness, foreign investment and economic growth. But it increasingly recognizes its hold on power will be undermined if a large section of society is left behind.
"Economic growth must benefit all members of the community," top government adviser and former Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong said last month. "Otherwise, our community may be divided by differences in income levels within it."
Analysts expect the government - whose coffers are flush with last year's budget surplus estimated at about 7 percent of GDP - to announce Friday increased retirement fund contributions, training for low-income workers, tax cuts, rebates and cash handouts.
Part of the reason for the jump in income inequality has been the success of Singapore's richest - billionaires whose fortunes largely stem from banking and real estate development. According to Forbes' list of richest Singaporeans last year, eight of its 11 billionaires made their money in banking or real estate.
The island also has the world's highest percentage of millionaires - households with at least $1 million in liquid assets - at 11.4 percent of the country's 5 million population, according to a survey last year by Boston Consulting Group. Rolls Royce, whose least expensive model in Singapore costs about $850,000, said sales in the city-state soared 171 percent in 2010.
"The PAP has made it a central plank that it is a party for all," said Tan, the assistant professor. "Once enough people feel that is just rhetoric, then that would really undermine the government's legitimacy."

PMA cadet drowns in family outing in Ilocos Sur
More News from Frances Mangosing
MANILA, Philippines—A Philippine Military Academy cadet drowned while trying to save his younger brother and an uncle during a family outing on New Year's Day in Ilocos Sur.
Cadet Bryx Lee S Betong, 19, was declared dead on arrival at the Cervantes Hospital in Cervantes town, a statement from the PMA said Thursday.
His younger brother was swimming in a mini-irrigation dam at sitio (settlement) Bao-angan in Comillas South when he was carried away by a strong current. An uncle tried to save him, but both were pulled down by the strong current, and Betong tried to save them.
The cadet was able to save the two, but he drowned in the process. He was pulled out of the water unconscious.
Betong, a native of Benguet, was an original member of PMA Class "Sinag Lahi" 2017.
He was a recipient of a schooling grant in the Japan National Defense Academy and left PMA for Japan in April last year and was scheduled to graduate in 2017. He was on a holiday break during the incident.
The PMA expressed its condolences over the "accidental" and "untimely" death of Betong.
"The Philippine Military Academy has extended support to the family of Cadet Betong. Immediately after knowing about the incident, PMA sent personnel to Mancayan to look into the concerns of the family regarding the wake and burial of the cadet. The Command will also look into the benefits that his family is entitled to brought about by his being a cadet in the Academy. The Command will extend any form of assistance, which is within its capacity, to the bereaved family of Cdt Betong," PMA spokesman Captain Lynette Flores said.

75 Mile BeachIn the great tradition of many Australian place names, 75 Mile Beach on Fraser Island, was so named because it is approximately 75 miles long. Due to the constant movement of sea and sand, it's not always exactly 75 miles long, but then, '75.173 Mile Beach' just wouldn't have had the same ring to it. 75 Mile Beach runs along most of the east coast of Fraser Island. While it may not be the best place for swimming due to dangerous currents and plentiful Tiger sharks, it is extremely beautiful and...

Elizabeth Park Rose GardensThe Elizabeth Park Rose Gardens was the site of Maryborough's second official cemetery, which closed in 1873. As the town expanded the cemetery was deemed a public health risk, and by 1907, moves were made to remove headstones and remains to the new cemetery. In 1921, the land was converted to a public park, and now is full of beautiful rose gardens.

Lake McKenzieThere are many different aspects to Fraser Island, but the awe-inspiring beauty of Lake McKenzie makes it probably the most visited natural site on the island. It is a 'perched' lake, which means it contains only rainwater, no groundwater, is not fed by streams and does not flow to the ocean. The sand and organic matter at the base of the lake form an impervious layer, preventing rainwater from draining away. The sand here is pure, white silica and is not only beautiful to look at but feels be...

Lake WabbyLake Wabby is relatively close to the ocean side of Fraser Island and unlike the other lakes, it supports several varieties of fish. It is known as both a window lake and a barrage lake. Window lakes form when the ground level falls below the water table. Barrage lakes form when a sand blow blocks the waters of a natural spring. This phenomenon is easy to see at Lake Wabby. On one side its deep green waters are bordered by a giant sand dune that is slowly moving into the lake. In a century or so...

Mary RiverThe Mary River has been known by many names, with the Aborigines calling the river Booie, Moonaboola, Numabulla or Mooraboocoola. It was named the Wide Bay River until September 1848, when Governor Fitzroy renamed the river in honour of his wife, Lady Mary Fitzroy. The Mary River is unique in that it flows from south to north with its headwaters near the Sunshine Coast hinterland and its mouth at River Heads just south of Hervey Bay.

Port of MaryboroughA deeper site was selected to replace the first shallow port of Maryborough which was located upriver at the original township. Wool, tallow, hides and timber were exported through the busy port and many coastal vessels brought supplies for the settlers. At one time the wharves stretched from the far end of Queens Park to beyond the Granville Bridge. At the marina you can see the last remnants of the original wharfs. Between 1859 when Maryborough was declared an official Port of Entry and 1901...

Post subject: duplicate entries in wdm 4.5.2 with wrong mac adress
we have about 130 Wyse devices right now but using wdm only local (not in our network) mainly because we use another pxe-server with enteo netinstall (osd) in our network.
I´m working on it to change this, but this will take some time until bosses decide to spent some money for the help from wyse.
But my main problem is that the wdm 4.5.2 installation creates a second entry in the database after pushing a new image (which we have modified) onto a device. This second entry has a wrong mac-address (always the same wrong mac address).
If I delete both entries and reboot the device then only one correct entry is created then.
Does anyone has seen this even in older versions ?
We had this from time to time with older wdm-versions too.
Thx 4 hlp (cause german support seems not to be a help)

Had this problems with 941GXL and with V90L.
Always updated older versions with the new one (941GXL Version to 546 and V90L Version to 576).
At this moment I did a test and upgraded same three devices a second time with the new Image and nothing like that happend.
Seems as this only happens when upgrading older versions to an actual (modified) image taken from a configured device per pxe.
Second entry is created after first boot of new image after image is applied.
Could it be that there is something wrong on that image ?
Had this problem even with other new created Image (actual image modified with our company settings).
Actual I update a 941GXL with Image 3.010.431.512 to 4.010.546.512 and have this strange effect.
One entry with correct mac-adress and Imageable=yes and one entry with wrong mac-adress with Imageable=no. Everything else is the same (including Name).
Deleting the wrong entry causes a restart of the device but the good entry stays correct.
Updating this device a second time does not show this effect.

young grasshoppers...gather near...
The HAgent on XPe uses NetBIOS to determine the MAC address.
If you've disabled NetBIOS support (manually under TCP settings, or via Option Tag) you'll see results like this as it can't determine the MAC and generates a random value for the MAC to maintain a unique ID.
Alternately, if you happen to have Dual NICs (fiber or wireless addon) then that it could be reporting that MAC instead. Only have 1 NIC enabled at a time.

The WDM and the new devices are not in our network, just connected over a switch.
Its not a random mac-adress which is wrong, always the same one.
I´m using just the internal NICs.
Today tried and updated three devices at once.
No error. Everything fine. I have changed nothing.
Will try if this happens only when i upgrade one device next time.
But thx 4 trying to help.

Eventually found the problem.
Enabled automatic upgrade of hagent and so the devices are getting the actual hagent 220.127.116.11 from WDM.
Since then the actual Image (Build 546) for 941GXL had hAgent 220.127.116.11 and the actual Image (Build 576) for the V90L had hAgent 220.127.116.11.
Think with the actual hagent 184.108.40.206 this problem seems not to appear.
Will test this later.

I have experienced the same problem with a sticky MAC address. Every time I send an image to a thinclient (in my case v90LE XPE), the discovered record in WDM(4.5.3) gets an additional record with the same devicename and a ghost MAC address. This is very annoying because only the new record can be used tot send jobs to. The MAC address is owned by the thinclient that I used to build my image.
I have a separate development environment where I create images. At first I thought that because I connected (only once) the development Thinclient to the production network I corrupted the WDM database in some way. After removing the developement Thinclient and reinstaling WDM with a clean database I still had the problem. So I suspected that my image in some way stored the MAC address of the development thinclient.
After building a new image from scratch (wyse build 596) the problem went away. My original image was also based on build 596 so probably something went wrong during the building process but I don't know what?
Hope this is some help.

Pat Barry vs. Shane Del Rosario (TUF 16 Finale)
A battle between a pair of heavyweights has been added to the slate for the TUF 16 Finale.
Pat Barry (7-5 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and Shane Del Rosario (11-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) are targeted for a meeting in December. Sources with knowledge of the fight booking on Tuesday confirmed the matchup to MMAjunkie.com (
The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale takes place Dec. 15 at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas with a main event between TUF 16 coaches Shane Carwin (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) and Roy Nelson (17-7 MMA, 4-3 UFC).
In addition, of course, the TUF 16 Finale will include the welterweight finals of this season's show, which currently airs on Friday nights on FX. Barry is one of Carwin's assistant coaches on the show.
Barry finds himself in fairly critical need of a victory. The popular heavyweight is just 1-3 in his past four fights. In May, Barry suffered a first-round TKO loss to Lavar Johnson at UFC on FOX 3. That fight was a trip back to the loss column after a January "Fight of the Night" knockout win over Christian Morecraft at UFC on FX 1.
But prior to that victory, Barry lost consecutive fights to Cheick Kongo by knockout and Stefan Struve by submission. In the former, Barry nearly had Kongo finished, but the big man, despite being out on his feet, survived and stunned Barry with a knockout punch in one of the most talked-about comebacks in MMA history.
Del Rosario in May made his UFC debut, but suffered a second-round TKO stoppage against Stipe Miocic on the promotion's all-heavyweight main card at UFC 146. That was Del Rosario's first fight under the UFC banner after going 3-0 with three first-round stoppages for Strikeforce.
For those of you out there that aren't big fans of the ground game, this match should please you. I would say it's almost a must win for both guys. Pretty certain that someone is getting knocked out in this one. Shane is more likely the more skilled grappler if it does hit the ground, but Barry has been improving.

Today's inspiration board started as an ode to the pop of deep red in the floral designs from this wedding, but since has transformed into a manifestation of my favorite fall flavors (how's that for alliteration?). It was unintentional, really, but when I started naming colors I got carried away longing for a Starbucks Caramel Hot Chocolate and cranberry scone. All in all it has been an extremely warm September and now October, but Monday's rain storm brought a chill that has made my nose and toes just a little less warm than the rest of me. The glow of the candle light and caramel drizzle are just enough to warm me right back up. These details would look so fantastic for a bridal shower! They'd look equally as delicious mixed into a wedding, but I seem to have engagements on my mind – shout out to my beautiful big sister who just got engaged on Sunday!! So without further ado here are some autumnal details and fall flavors we adore!

Hey ladies,
I have been working hard each day to eat very healthy but I have found that I have lost weight over the last 3 weeks. I've had an ultrasound and the baby is doing great and all the test came back fine. So yesterday I decided to count my calorie intake over the last several days and it was HALF of what all the articles and books say I should be eating. I am gluten intolerant so all the breads, pastas, and pastries I eat are gluten free, but I'm not sure that it makes THAT much of a difference.
My question is: How do you eat healthy AND get all the calories you need each day? I eat tons of fresh fruits and veggies each day but they just don't have a high calorie count.
Thanks for your help!!
Eating Healthy and Calorie Count

I'm expecting twins and so my caloric demands are supposed to be even higher. I've had morning sickness so far, so definitely haven't been getting as many calories as I need. I, too, am worried about how I'm going to get enough calories in. I just got a book written my a University of Michigan specialist in multiples, Dr. Barbara Luke, and she has some great recipes and ideas in there. I'm pretty sure you're not expecting twins, but I think a lot of the suggestions should hold true for anyone trying to eat healthy and get that baby sufficient calories. She says to eat often, ESPECIALLY in the first two trimesters). I think the 5-6 small meals is a good idea. And focus on protein and folic acid during this first trimester.
She also gives a green-light to ice cream and milkshakes and even cheeseburgers. I think I'm going to have to pound quite a few of those to keep these twins growing and healthy. I have always been underweight for my height (I've been asked on a number of occasions whether I have an eating disorder, and my nickname in elementary school was "feather"), with a fast metabolism, so I know I'm in for a challenge trying to get these babies the calories and nutrients they need.
I have a two-year-old daughter and when I was pregnant with her I read "What To Expect When Your Expecting" and aimed to follow those guidelines, I ate very healthy and managed to put on forty pounds during that pregnancy, but I STILL don't think I got enough calories. I ate a lot of veggies and fruits, cottage cheese, and yogurt. I don't think I was eating quite enough meats and calorie-dense foods.
I'm still going to eat lots of whole grains, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables, but this time I'm also going to be tucking into those cheeseburgers and milkshakes. I would have been critical of someone who had suggested that last time. But I know those calories are going to be important to these babies.
I found a list in Dr. Luke's book of 25 Food All-Stars (the 25 best foods for eating when pregnant). Thought I wiould share them:
Coldwater Fish
Lean Beef
Lean Pork
Lean Poultry
Beans, Peas, Lentils, Chickpeas
Peanuts, Cashews, Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds
Sweet Potatoes/Yams
Citrus Fruits
Wheat Germ
In the back of the book, there is a list of recipes that are great for when you are pregnant too, and they include:
beef and bean chili (if you're not getting heartburn!)
beef stew
beef stroganoff
meat loaf
steak salad with tomatoes, cheese, and walnuts
french toast with ham and cheese
ham quiche
pasta with peas and ham
cashew chicken
chicken and dumplings
chicken and wild rice casserole
cobb salad
Waldorf chicken salad
ceasar salad with shrimp
linguine with clams
citrus salmon
salad nicoise
salmon burgers
tuna salad
asparagus quiche
pumpkin pancakes
caprese salad
Greek salad (with pasteurized feta)
lasagna with vegetables
powerhouse granola (with almonds and dried fruits)
pumpkin muffins
pumpkin bread
Weekend hash browns (with eggs and muenster cheese)
Yogurt guacamole
Basic Fruit Smoothie (with tofu, egg whites, and dry milk)
She also recommends buying protein/high-calorie shakes if you are not meeting your caloric needs.
I really think I didn't put enough emphasis on eating meat and eggs my first pregnancy.
Thanks for the info everyone! I really appreciate it. :) I've started eating more smaller meals throughout the day and that has really helped my engery level over the last several days. I'll just have to wait and see how much it helps my overall weight gain. The more people I talk to the more I'm being told not to fret over it. To just eat what I like, when I like and as long as the babies healthy not to worry too much about being right on track with weight gain. I also found out that low weight gain during pregnancy runs in the family. Good thing to know :) Thanks again for the suggestions/advice!
I am going to go back to 5 times a day as soon as I'm out of this MS funk... I only need 1570 a day in the first trimester. it is easy to get that in, hard to only get that in with all fruit I'm eating. I think I've gained 1-2 pounds. I need to cut back actually...

I''m with you. While I agree with Jeff that a heavy grounding of an encapsulated keel will *potentially* cause long term water damage if "not taken care of". But I hope he doesn''t mean he would rather have externally bolted on "fin keel" in a grounding, as opposed to keel''s which are a full or modified full keel (which many encapsulated keels are).
It comes down to simple physics that, in a grounding, there would be more torque and force on a typical fin keel vs. a typical full or modified full keel. In a full or modified full keel there is just so much more keel area to hull area to absorb all that grounding force. Really, think about it, cruisers careen full or modified full keel boats all the time. It is *much* more rare to ever see a fin keel do that.
(FYI for those that don''t know what Careening is go here )
This past summer I saw a very large modified full keel boat, on the hard, with a *huge* chunk taken out of the forward part of the keel(3-4 inches deep and about 8 inches high). It must have repeatedly banged up against sometime hard for a while. There was splintered fiberglass and whatnot all over and the damage must have been there for a while because the "chunk" had big barnacles all over it. Obviously this area needs to be completely cleaned out, removed and fiberglassed again but it seemed to not cause any real long term damage. I really don''t think many bolted on fin keel''s would have taken it as well, especially if it was an iron keel . I think that is one of the few advantages to these full/modified full keel designs (if its designed that way), because they can design a generous amount of "deadwood" area to this area of the keel to absorb and "sacrifice" the forward edge of the keel while saving the rest of the boat. Kind of like "crumple zones" on a car.

Review by independent budget analyst differs from mayor's projection of surplus
In an interview, Goldstone said he envisioned continuing with the city for an additional two to six months. He cautioned people not to overreact to the analyst's numbers, which he called a "fictitious deficit" because most of it involves discretionary spending that may or may not be approved by the new mayor and City Council.
"The mayor's five-year outlook and the assumptions used in the outlook were confirmed by the IBA," Goldstone said.
"She, though, decided to put into her chart the financial data that we had quantified in our report, which are clearly risks to the city's 2014 and beyond budgets. We've set money aside. We have built our reserves to cover these kinds of uncertainties. I don't believe that this generates a structural budget deficit because it is short-term in nature."
He added that the uncertainty of each of the issues raised in the analyst's report is exactly why they were left out of the mayor's projections but identified as future risks.
Goldstone said the numbers used in the report will likely change as additional information becomes available, such as the pension system releasing its annual actuarial evaluation in January.
Councilman Todd Gloria said the task for city leaders will be to maintain fiscal discipline so that San Diego doesn't return to the recent years of annual budget deficits.
"It's going to be a challenge for the council and the new mayor without question, but it's still a far better position than where we were in say 2002, 2005," he said.
The five-year outlook, which Sanders implemented years ago, is the first step in a long process for the 2013-2014 budget that won't get finalized until late spring.
The numbers typically change over the ensuing months as financial information, such as revenue projections and pensions costs, become solidified. The fiscal year begins July 1.
Ending a longtime problem with city expenses outstripping revenues — known as the structural budget deficit — has always been a goal of Sanders'. In February, he declared the problem over — an announcement that may have been premature, if the budget analyst is right.
"After years of cutbacks, we see the light at the end of what has been a very long and dark tunnel," Sanders said at the time. "Today, I'm pleased to report that the city's decades-long structural budget deficit is history."

Dual Sport adventure weekend in the North Georgia Mountains
Had a great time with my brother and a friend over a 3 day journey, 258 miles in the North GA mountains. We did a loop starting and ending in Elijay and traveled 260 miles on fire and forest service roads. This was our first dual sporting adventure and we had a blast! Can't wait to do more.
Bikes - 2011 Husky TE310, 2013 Husky Terra 650, KTM LC4

Khale -
How do you like the 310? How many miles have you put on the bike?
Just getting ideas of various smaller bikes and yours has good specs.:deal
Also, do you have the GPS starting point for the loop you took or map for Elijay?
I would share the map on here, but I didn't create it. I'll consult with the map creator to see if he cares to share here. He spent a long time plotting it out, so I want to be respectful of his work and if he wants to give up the route. I can tell you we traveled on Wolf Pen Gap Rd, Mulkey Gap Rd, Coopers Creek Rd and Old Highway 76. Some other advriders have suggested Hale Ridge, Patterson Gap, Wilks rd, and Poplar Stump.
I can respect that too of course....the roads help, I can probably piece together
a route from that. Itching to go riding again when....tornadoes pass!
Moved to ATL 5 years back from California and only been in the dirt once.:cry
(But I only bought my bike about 8 months back - mostly commuting to work here and there ugh.)
Looks like ya'll had fun. I was up there on my 950 Adv 2 weeks ago.Have you done Duncan Ridge around Suches or Tray Mt near Helen? A friend and I used to go from Dalton to Clayton on FS roads a lot when he had houses in both places. A lot of good riding up there.
Old Hwy 2 west of blue ridge, Big frog Loop , Old dial road . Dang I have to get back down there :clap
Good video, Kyle.
I recognize most of those roads, (except the first one in the video)
Looked like getting that 650 around that gate was about as hard as a KLR....
I'm hoping to get back up there again soon as the weather warms up a little...
3 other Great roads are Flat Creek rd, Flatland rd, and especially Charlies Creek road...
Don't suppose you have a GPS track of the route? Great video. Looks like a lot of fun!
Yo guys!
I've got the KML for the route if you want feel free to PM or email me. Spent a lot of time mapping it out don't want to just throw it out into the wild. Happy to share with any of you ADV guys! If I find you on the trail though you owe me a beer :evil

ACC Football Pre-Bowl Game Power Rankings
ACC Football Pre-Bowl Game Power Rankings
The college football regular season is over as well as all of the conference championship games, and all that's left are the hundreds (at least it feels that way) of bowl games. The ACC season ended the way we expected it to end for quite some time with the Florida State Seminoles winning the conference championship and advancing to the BCS Title Game, but the fact that they ultimately ended up playing the Duke Blue Devils in the conference championship game was quite a surprise.
Despite the national perception that the ACC is one of the weaker power conferences in the country, especially compared to their brethren in the SEC, it was a good year for the Atlantic Coast Conference. The ACC moved into a new era in 2013 adding two new schools to the league to give them 14 members. While many will claim that the conference is rather mediocre on the football field and adding two more teams only added to that mediocrity, the ACC did end up with 11 bowl eligible teams, all of whom received bowl invitations. That is more than any other conference and an accomplishment the league should be proud of.
As I deliver a set of power rankings in the ACC prior to bowl season, both the top and bottom of the conference is fairly self-explanatory. However, the middle of the conference has been incredibly difficult to figure out all season long, and the same is likely true at the end of the season. That being said, I have come up with power rankings in the ACC heading into the bowl season.
14. Virginia
Virginia was easily the worst team in the ACC this year, and it has put Mike London squarely on the hot seat. They had a promising start to the season with a win over BYU, but it was all downhill from there for the Cavaliers who finished with an abysmal 2-10 record.
13. North Carolina State
Dave Doeren will get a pass for a rough first year at NC State that was hampered by key injuries at important positions, but with eight straight losses to finish the season and no wins against conference opponents, the pressure will be on Doeren to deliver some wins next season.
12. Wake Forest
Unfortunately, this was the end of the line for Jim Grobe. The Demon Deacons were 4-8, but with a two-point loss to Louisiana-Monroe, a three-point loss to Miami, and a two-point loss to Vanderbilt, things could have ended differently. With a senior quarterback in Tanner Price Wake Forest should have had a better season, but with the way it turned out there's no debating they were one of the conference's worst teams.
11. Maryland
The Terrapins have had quite an up and down season in their final year in the ACC. They got off to a 5-1 start with all five wins coming against teams that are not playing in bowls, and then their season spiraled out of control until Maryland managed to salvage it with an upset of Virginia Tech. They are not as good as their 7-5 record would indicate, and a bowl game in their own backyard against a Marshall team that went to the Conference USA Championship Game is far from a guaranteed win.
10. Pittsburgh
The Panthers had an up and down season in their first year in the ACC, but they have wins over Duke and Notre Dame that look impressive on their resume. Three of their wins came against bowl-eligible teams which is more than you can say for half of the conference. Pittsburgh will hope to secure a winning record by beating MAC champion Bowling Green in the Little Caesar's Bowl.
9. Boston College
What an incredible turnaround made by new head coach Steve Addazio, who took a two-win team and turned them into a seven-win team in his first year at Boston College. It should be noted that of those seven wins only two came against teams playing in a bowl game, but Boston College did have a rather impressive season and has an intriguing bowl matchup against Arizona.
8. Syracuse
Syracuse was far from the prettiest team in the country, and they certainly took their lumps against some of the ACC's top teams. But they deserve a lot of credit for overachieving and reaching a bowl game with a rookie head coach and a young offense that last lost several key starters from last year. At the end of the day, they beat everyone in the Atlantic Division except Florida State and Clemson, and that deserves some recognition. The reward for the Orange is a bowl game against Minnesota, the third Big 10 team they'll face this season.
7. North Carolina
It was a tale of two halves this season for the Tar Heels, who looked left for dead after a 1-5 start to the season. But they were able to turn things around with five straight wins before finishing the season with a two point loss to Duke in a game that could have put them in a tie atop the Coastal Division. North Carolina needs a win over a tough Cincinnati team in the Belk Bowl to ensure a winning record this season.
6. Georgia Tech
The Yellow Jackets had a rough finish to the regular season with a loss to Clemson and a double-overtime loss to instate rival Georgia. But they do have an early-season win over division-champion Duke to hang their hat on, and they should have an exciting bowl matchup against Ole Miss in one of three bowl games between the ACC and SEC.
5. Virginia Tech
It wasn't always pretty, but the Hokies had a good season. Outside of the season opener against Alabama all of Virginia Tech's losses were in close games, and they also have wins over six bowl teams, including East Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Miami. The Hokies didn't always win pretty, but eight wins is a solid season that can get even better if they make it nine wins with an upset over UCLA in the Sun Bowl.
4. Miami
They're still not the Hurricanes of the past, but Al Golden has this program on the right track. Despite a three-game losing streak in November, Miami took some big steps forward this season and was certainly among the best teams in the conference. They have a great opportunity to end the season on a high note and make a statement against future ACC team Louisville in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
3. Duke
The Blue Devils not only won a mediocre yet competitive ACC Coastal Division, but they won 10 games this season, including an eight-game winning streak. Part of the attention Duke gets is due to their low expectations, but their season would be considered a great success even if they didn't have a historically bad football program. However, a good season means a quality bowl game, and the Blue Devils may have a hard time in the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M. Still, that shouldn't take away from the season they've had.
2. Clemson
Some are calling Clemson undeserving of a BCS bowl game, but they're 10-2 and their only two losses have come against Florida State and South Carolina. The Tigers have beaten everybody else on their schedule, and at times their offense has been as dynamic as any other in the country. That should make for a high scoring and entertaining Orange Bowl against Ohio State.
1. Florida State
We've known the Seminoles were the best team in the ACC for quite a while. They weren't challenged much all season, not even in the conference championship game. But they should receive a stiff challenge in the BCS Title Game against the Auburn Tigers as they look to prove themselves worthy of being the No. 1 team in the country.

The European Commission's proposal for a pan-European telecommunications super-regulator was widely derided at a major seminar in Westminster on Thursday.
Delegates at the Westminster eForum consultation seminar on the EU telecommunications review — consultation on which is due to close in a week's time — were almost unanimous in their condemnation of the suggestion.
Many, though, also acknowledged flaws in the current system.
"The current framework has certainly not created a common regime across EU member states," said Carphone Warehouse's head of telecoms regulation, Rickard Granberg, who complained that the differing pace of regulation and fragmentation of remedies between member states "does create difficulties and obstacles for a fixed telecommunications operator wanting to enter the market".
However, Granberg said that "on balance" his company disagreed that one regulator would be the answer. "We need a swifter and more detailed enforcement of existing rules," he explained, adding that this could "only be done by national regulators".
That view was echoed by Professor Peter Humphreys, director of the European Policy Research Unit at the University of Manchester, who suggested that national regulators knew their individual markets best.
Humphreys argued that the option of a single EU regulator, independent of the European Commission, was "not politically saleable", and claimed that the alternative — extending the Commission's power of veto to cover remedies imposed by national regulators — would lead to greater consistency.
"It seems quite sensible for the Commission to propose… a moderate power of veto," said Humphreys. "This does not mean a one-size-fits-all approach [but] I don't think the Commission is thinking this way. There should be every expectation that the Commission should continue to act in the restrained way it has so far," he continued, adding that the EC had thus far been "an honest broker", relying heavily on consultation and aiming predominantly for a "consensual approach".
BT's representative at the event, director of European affairs Stephen Crisp, also supported the extension of the veto to cover remedies, but added that BT was "not ideological about vetoes" and "[suspects] a European regulator is not the right answer".
Crisp also said that BT was "opposed to [the Commission's favouring of] structural separation" between incumbents' service and wholesale departments — a fate that has already befallen BT itself, which had to create the Openreach services spin-off at the insistence of Ofcom.
Ofcom's director of international, Alex Blowers, said he was "surprised" that there had been "a degree of support from certain players in the industry" for the idea that the EC should be able to veto remedies imposed by national regulators.
"There is a legitimate concern [that] in a number of member states it looks like regulation has been dilatory and half-hearted, but it is not a legitimate concern that can be [solved] by a veto on remedies," Blowers told the audience. While conceding that there would always be problems with a consistent quality of regulation across 25 member states, he suggested the solution was to get regulators "to work more efficiently between each other".
"We believe there is an argument for greater coherence and consistency of regulation [but] national market difference needs to be reflected," he elaborated.

Army: Leesburg woman did not find anti-tank missiles in garden shed
Sunday - 6/30/2013, 12:49am EDT
UPDATE: Monday - 7/01/2013, 4:41pm ET
WAHSINGTON - An Army spokesman from Fort Belvoir tells WTOP that contrary to previous reports, a Leesburg woman did not find anti-tank missiles in her garden shed Saturday.
The woman had actually found artillery rounds, or projectiles fired from a cannon- like Howitzer.
It's still not clear how the artillery ended up in the woman's shed.
The artillery was armed and ready to be fired, the spokesman says.
Neighbors were evacuated and the rounds were taken to a safe location and destroyed.
EARLIER: Sunday - 6/30/2013, 7:59pm ET
WASHINGTON - A Leesburg neighborhood was evacuated for hours Saturday when a woman found two anti-tank missiles in her shed around 1:30 p.m. in the 500 block of Rockbridge Drive. She called 911 and the discovery prompted a full response from the Loudoun County police, fire department, bomb squad and the U.S. Army.
The Army was able to disrupt the firing mechanisms on the devices but they were taken away and destroyed. Nobody was hurt and the residents have now been cleared to return to their homes. The police continue to investigate.
Loudoun County Battalion Chief James Williams says residents in a 400-yard radius of the live military ammunition were evacuated.
"No one was hurt, and nobody seems to know where the devices came from. All is clear now," Williams says.

Crackdown on guns with expired licenses launched
ILOILO CITY—The Philippine National Police in Western Visayas will conduct house searches, confiscations and other police operations on holders of guns with expired licenses.
Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz, Western Visayas police director, said holders of firearms with expired licenses will also be charged with illegal possession of firearms after Jan. 13, the start of election and gun ban period.
"We have given all holders more than enough time to renew their licenses. We will apply for search warrants for residences of gun owners," Agrimero told the Philippine Daily Inquirer on Sunday.
There are 37,821 registered firearms in Western Visayas as of August, based on records of the PNP's Firearms and Explosives Unit office. But 33,675 of these, or 89 percent, had expired licenses.
Those with expired licenses include 29,573 individually owned firearms and 4,102 juridical firearms, or those procured by government agencies and private institutions or organizations.
The most number of firearms with expired licenses was recorded in Negros Occidental, including Bacolod City, with 13,318, followed by the province and city of Iloilo (13,310), Capiz (2,940), Aklan (2,065), Antique (1,540) and Guimaras (502).
Cruz said that 11,000 of the 33,675 firearms with expired licenses in the region have been checked. Among those checked, holders of around 2,500 have renewed their licenses and another 3,800 will be renewed before Jan. 13.
Some of those that were checked were reportedly stolen or sold but whose ownership documents have not been transferred or processed.
Around 22,000 firearms with expired licenses still remain to be verified, said Cruz.
Cruz called on gun holders to renew their licenses before the lapse of the deadline.
"This will be our last appeal. We will then have no choice but to confiscate these firearms and file criminal charges against the owners," he said.
