Octave bindings to the xraylib functions
Xraylib is a library to provide access to data sets from different published works on spectroscopic and imaging techniques using X-ray fluorescence. Although the target applications are on X-ray fluorescence, cross sections of interactions like photoionization, coherent scattering and Compton scattering, as well as form factors and anomalous scattering functions, are also available.
This package contains the binding to access the xraylib functions from Octave, a scientific computation software.
This Octave add-on package is part of the Octave-Forge project.

Theo Epstein made a name for himself in Boston as he harnessed the power of sabermetrics to spur the Red Sox on to two World Series titles.
But the former Boston general manager has an uphill task waiting for him at his next job, with the Chicago Cubs. Like the Red Sox, the Cubs have endured years of missed opportunities, but they have many more cracks in their baseball foundation than the Sox had when Epstein arrived.
If the boy wonder who won it all with the Sox hopes to have similar success in Chicago, he may need more than statistics and data.

Confession websites overall have too few visitors for the minimum counts monitored by Internet tracking firms, but Lassally says her sites generate more than 100,000 unique visitors a month.
"As a group, it is growing, but it's growing from a very small number," says Bill Tancer, general manager of global research at New York measurement firm Hitwise.
He says among almost 20 confession sites reviewed, there has been a 139% growth in online traffic in a year's time.
A trailblazer in these sites premiered in 2000 as dailyconfession.com. It gets about 200 confessions daily. The 4,500-confession backlog is because the statements are vetted before posting, says creator Greg Fox of Orlando. He says every confession is reviewed for content with light editing for typos. Sexually graphic statements or gratuitous foul language are not posted.
Most of the sites encourage reader comments, but ivescrewedup.com does not.
Troy Gramling, pastor of the non-denominational Flamingo Road Church in Cooper City, Fla., launched the website to coincide with a teaching series on confession over Easter weekend.
Since then, the evangelical church site has generated more than 12,000 confessions and has logged almost 200,000 page views.
Most of the confessions are about sex.
"Sex is a big deal in the sense it's everywhere," he says. "It's only natural that if you have a confession site, that's what a lot of people are in bondage to — a lot of sexual experiences."
While Gramling's site is affiliated with his church, traditional confession among Roman Catholics (known as "reconciliation") seems to be declining.
A poll of 1,260 U.S. Catholics last spring by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., found just 2% receive the sacrament once a month or more; 14% receive it once a year; and 42% do not receive it at all.
There's an overall greater tolerance in society, which on the downside also has translated into a diminishing sense of sin, says David Roozen of the Hartford Institute for Religion Research at Hartford Seminary in Connecticut.
"It's easy for them to convince themselves that what they did is not that bad," he says.

Square, the payments company known for its smartphone and tablet credit card readers, has reached a deal with Whole Foods to offer its checkout system at several U.S. stores, the second national retailer to allow card processing from the startup.
The deal comes more than a year after Square partnered with coffee purveyor Starbucks to process payments at thousands of its stores and suggests the San Francisco company may be eyeing bigger fish than the food trucks and mom-and-pop shops where it is commonplace. Read More »
Square's resident grandmotherly adviser, who was profiled last month in The Wall Street Journal, appeared on a segment of NBC's Today show earlier Friday to recount how she joined Twitter to chase down her busy grandson, Brian Grassadonia, about a family trip. Read More »

As payment company Square gears up for a possible 2014 initial public offering, billionaire Chief Executive Jack Dorsey is returning some of his stock to create room for more hiring and acquisitions.
Dorsey told Fortune that he is giving back roughly 10% of his stake, representing about 3% of Square. A company spokesman confirmed the news. Read More »
Square, the payments startup with a square credit-card reader, is eliminating a monthly flat-fee option for smaller businesses in favor of its usual "per swipe" fee.
Starting Feb. 1, Square will charge merchants 2.75% each time they swipe a credit card, or 3.5% plus 15 cents for a transaction entered manually, according to the company's website. Read More »
Silicon Valley entrepreneur Jack Dorsey is trying to pull off two high-profile initial public offerings in the span of one year.
Square Inc., the payments startup with a square credit-card reader that plugs into Apple and Android-based mobile devices, has held discussions with banks including Goldman Sachs Inc. and Morgan Stanley about a 2014 IPO, said a person familiar with the matter. No bank has been hired and the timing of a deal could change, the person cautioned.
The public offering would come on the heels of Twitter Inc., which is expected to start trading shares Thursday. Square Chief Executive Officer Dorsey co-founded both San Francisco companies and remains chairman of the microblogging website. Read More »
Square, the mobile-payments company, is introducing a new service that lets people transfer small amounts of money to each others by sending emails. It's free, and signing up is a cinch. But you have to put a lot of trust in Square. Walt Mossberg has the review. Read More »
The untold tales of Twitter's founding are piling up.
In the latest edition of the New Yorker, writer D.T. Max explores the lofty philosophies and big ideas that helped co-founder Jack Dorsey go from college dropout to billionaire entrepreneur.

F ilm director Rahat Kazmi is ready with his movie "Impatient Vivek",based on and meant for the young. His earlier project,his debut film "Dekh re Dekh" might not have fared well at the box-office , but the young director is excited about the current one releasing this Friday. Rahat was in the Capital recently to promote his latest release. Excerpts from the interview.
What is "Impatient Vivek" about?
The film is the story of a rich boy Vivek (Vivek Sudershan) who hopelessly falls in love with Shruti (played by Sayali Bhagat).After a cold response from the girl, the boy gets impatient and kidnaps the girl. His hasty actions leave him in a lurchand lead to nasty situations which form the basic plot . The film focuses on impatience and its consequences.
It is quite an aberrant topic — impatience. Impatience is a big part of life nowadays, especially among the youth. They are always in a hurry. Most of their decisions defy logic and are a result of impatience. The film sheds light on this aspect and its outcome. The film is full of twists and turns which form a comic plot and will leave the audience in splits.
Are comedies ruling the big screen at the moment?
Well may be, but comedy would not be the proper description for this movie. There is humour , but it is very intense and addresses a serious issue. It is based on a true story. Humour has been added to the plot so that it becomes all the more enjoyable. Binding the audience is an important task. So, yes there is laughter but not mindless comedy.
What is the USP of the film?
"Impatient Vivek" is a beautiful love story which at times tickles and at times touches the core of your heart. It is a cute film about transformation. Everybody can associate with the characters in the movie. The movie is very real and in any particular scene you can say, 'hey this exactly happened to me.' The smile that comes on your face as you think this is the USP of the movie.
The cast of the film is young and new. How do you think the audiences are going to accept them and the movie?
In the past, especially in the last two years, we have seen only good films last at the box-office, irrespective of the cast. Many films flopped despite superstars and many (films) were successful without any (superstars). You can't fool the audiences . The movie has a good script with a strong message. The actors have given it their best. I hope the audiences shall give a good response.

I really like this, others must have simply missed it.
I don't know if you're using pure black for the dark areas, but it sure is dark and I don't think there would be that much contrast in such a setting.
I'm not sure about these gestures of figures in the background. You definitely need other team members for his flag to make any sense, but they need to fit into the environment well.
For colours, he looks pretty aggressive so we should probably go with red.
flag = red
armour = dark red
recess armour padding = dark grey
hair = dark blonde
clouds = dark yellow, light grey highlights
sky = dark blue
the gun handle looks too long, lighting should shine on his leg too. It will also get to the gun, give that some attention.
Average idea, cool execution, good composition, pretty nice armour design and non-cliche clouds. It's going well, I'd like to see the progress!
October 24th, 2008 #3
I would say work on the flapping of the flag, it seems pretty generic right now. I think it is looking pretty good, and it might be cool to have some light sources on the armor itself... which would look kind of cool... the downside is that light emitted from tech on the armor would be a bad idea in real design because it makes for an easier target.
Also be conscious of the sharpness of details when you do them. It might feel odd if you have really sharp lines for his earrings, yet his ears are blurry even though they are the same distance from the camera.
Can't wait to see how you resolve the legs.

Hey, glad to see you've been working!
Please post smaller images. It's nice to see new textures, and attention to detail on the weaponry. But where is the colour?!
- I notice a lot of marines/military characters holding their knives in reverse, which I think would work really well here
- using a serrated edge along the knife's whole blade will lessen its effectiveness. You could put it near the hilt like you have with the scabbard, or just on the 'spine' of the knife.
- I don't like these new clouds nearly as much. They looked cool earlier, instead of messing with them, just add colour. Just my opinion though.
- I really like the furry loin cloth. Colouring it in a light brown will make a nice compliment to his red armour (assuming it will be)
- take the lights on his ab armour all the way down, not just the uppermost plate (just my opinion)
- lol @ WIP sign

Post-High Court verdict, board divided on line of action
The tussle between moderates and hardliners on the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) over the next course of action, following the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya title suits, is likely to dominate Saturday's working committee meeting here.
The issue is whether the AIMPLB will become a party in the title suits as an intervener when the issue comes up before the Supreme Court considering that the Uttar Pradesh Sunni Central Waqf Board has decided to appeal against the September 30 verdict.
The AIMPLB legal committee meeting, held on October 9 in New Delhi, is understood to have favoured the idea of filing an appeal. A decision on the issue would be taken on Saturday.
While some AIMPLB members, representing the hawks, want to challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court, there are others who feel that the option of reconciliation should be explored in addition to filing an appeal. "The legal option should be taken as failure to do so would be a historical blunder, but the option of reconciliation should also be explored," an AIMPLB member said on condition of anonymity.
Saturday's meeting, in the Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulema, will be presided over by board chairman, Maulana Rabey Hasni Nadwi. Vice-president Maulana Syed Kalbe Sadiq, general secretary Maulana Syed Nizamuddin, assistant secretary-general and spokesman Maulana Abdur Rahim Qureshi, the convener of the AIMPLB's Babri legal committee, Syed Qasim Rasool Ilyas, and members of the working committee will attend.

Manufacturing sector to get fresh boost
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Boosting the manufacturing sector will be a highlight of the government's updated Philippine Development Plan (PDP), with economic officials having a consensus this strategy would address what critics describe as "jobless growth" the country is experiencing.
The Aquino administration's economic team is in the process of updating the PDP for 2010 to 2016 with the aim of making the country's robust growth meaningful—one that actually results in poverty reduction and does not benefit only the rich and the middle class.
Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said the government wants the updated PDP to be focused on generation of substantially more and higher quality jobs so that the still high poverty incidence will significantly be reduced.
"We want to see a revival of the country's manufacturing sector. We want to focus the government's development program on generating more employment opportunities and high quality jobs," Baliscan said.
The government's economic team is expected to release the updated PDP before the end of this year.
To boost the manufacturing sector, Baliscan said, the government will have to address problems in the bureaucracy that makes it difficult for investors to do business in the Philippines.
He also said the government intends to allocate more funds for infrastructure to complement the requirements of industries.
An increase in the budget for education and training also is expected to be part of the updated PDP so the country can meet the labor requirements of potential investors in the manufacturing sector.
The Philippines was one of the few countries that avoided contraction during the global recession in 2009. Also, it posted robust growth in 2012 and in the first quarter of this year at 6.8 and 7.8 percent, respectively, thus grabbing the spotlight amid a lackluster global economy.

Commissioner of Police explains car owners about Apex court directive
The city police, intensifying their campaign against use of dark films on car windows and windshields as per the directive of the Supreme Court, launched a special drive to remove all such films from vehicles other than those having 'Z' and 'Z plus' categories.
Commissioner of Police J. Purnachandra Rao launched the special drive by removing the film from some of the private vehicles passing by at Siripuram junction on Friday.
He explained to the car owners that the Supreme Court had issued clear directives against use of any kind of film on car glasses.
The Apex court, in its judgment, had clarified that visual light transmission limits (VLT) of 70 per cent on the front and rear and 50 per cent on the side windows was applicable only to the glass manufactured with the tint. The court explicitly banned use of black film or any other material upon the safety glass, side glass, even if it conforms to the VLT limits.
The vehicles being used by persons with Z and Z plus categories may use such films provided a high-level committee cleared it and gave a written permission, the Police Commissioner explained.
The city police held a meeting with car décor providers as part of the campaign. The police had been directed by the Apex court to not only challan the violator, but also remove the film from the vehicle, Mr. Purnachandra Rao said. RTO Vivekananda Reddy, ADCP (Traffic) V. Suresh Babu, traffic inspector D. Rajeswara Rao, and III Town inspector K. Lakshmana Murthy were present.

ST. LOUIS -- Quarterback Jason White, whose Oklahoma Sooners are still vying for a national championship despite losing last weekend's Big 12 championship game, on Tuesday was named college football's player of the year by The Sporting News.
The St. Louis-based publication also named Utah's Urban Meyer its coach of the year. Meyer led the Utes to a 9-2 record and a berth in the Liberty Bowl on New Year's Eve.

i'm new here and came across this post, just thought i'd chime in... dollars to donuts the court you came across was put in by these guys:
they build and service clay courts all over the northeast, mostly new england but also upstate ny. there are actually a lot of nice clay courts tucked around in the hills of nh, quite a few with various summer camps, but many retirees have them too. all around franconia notch and crawford notch, so if you think this was near mt. washington it was probably these guys who installed it/serviced it. many think clay is the way to go in northern new england cause the cold ground is hard on hard courts, splits them right in half after a few years. netco (the name of the company) is associated with the tamarack tennis camp, and the owner, mike kenney, is the skier bode miller's uncle. i bet if you call him he might be able to tell you which one you're thinking of.

Product description
"The Achitecture of Happiness "is a dazzling and generously illustrated journey through the philosophy and psychology of architecture and the indelible connection between our identities and our locations.One of the great but often unmentioned causes of both happiness and misery is the quality of our environment: the kinds of walls, chairs, buildings, and streets that surround us. And yet a concern for architecture is too often described as frivolous, even self-indulgent. Alain de Botton starts from the idea that where we are heavily influences who we can be, and argues that it is architecture's task to stand as an eloquent reminder of our full potential.

Author information
Alain de Botton is the author of three works of fiction and five of nonfiction, including "How Proust Can Change Your Life, The Consolations of Philosophy, "and "The Art of Travel. "He lives in London.
Review quote
"De Botton is a lively guide, and his eclectic choices of buildings and locations evince his conclusion, that "we should be as unintimidated by architectural mediocrity as we are by unjust laws." --"The New Yorker" The next time I'm at a party, and the conversation turns to "serious topics," like what the stock market did today, I think I'll suggest we talk about something more important: architecture. I'll ask the investment banker why he bought the house he did and insist he answer the question. And then I'll start quoting Alain de Botton. --"The National Post" If this book were a building, it would be a contemporary reading room, I think, with big windows, and clean, built-in bookshelves with a fold-out step ladder just right for fetching slim volumes from the top shelf. The elegant clarity and brisk humour of his style, accompanied by pages of photos, opens your eyes to the rich possibility of thinking about your home, and your city, in a new way. --"The Toronto Star" "De Botton's books are the literary equivalent of the Slow Food movement. They demand to be lingered over, not because the concepts are difficult but because they are rich and deep. Be prepared to put down your book frequently and turn his last few sentences over in your mind, testing his theses against the rooms and buildings you know well." --"The Globe and Mail" "In this simple, entertaining and brilliant book, Alain de Botton explores how architecture speaks to us and why it affects all aspects of human life. His great strength is to explain things we always knew but never understood." --Christopher Hume, Architecture Critic, "Toronto Star" "How did we ever manage without deBotton?" -- "Sunday Times "(U.K.) "[de Botton] deals with questions of style, ideas of beauty, notions about why certain structures appeal to us. The author argues that we love beautiful buildings because they solidify ideas we have about ourselves and our world. They put into concrete form our aspirations; they compensate for our human weaknesses; in short, they make us happy. Virtually every page contains a sentence any essayist would be proud to have written. A lyrical and generously illustrated monograph about the intimate relationship between our buildings and ourselves." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Singlehandedly, de Botton has taken philosophy back to its simplest and most important purpose: helping us live our lives." -- "Independent" "From the Hardcover edition."

Rare Crown Trifari vintage snake bracelet. This bracelet is very scarce on the market today. The bracelet is in excellent condition & is signed with the older crown Trifari & a copyright symbol.
This Trifari bracelet is very detailed from it's retro-deco styled head & tail to it's flexible spring gold tone coiling body. The head has faux ruby rhinestones, faux emerald eyes & a forked tongue. The tail also has faux ruby's. The gold tone in this bracelet is all intact. The signature which is in a rectangle cartouche, is at the tip of the tail on the inside.
The bracelet is larger than most (approx. 1" larger) measuring 9 3/4" around the outside & 7 1/2" on the inside when relaxed. It will fit a forearm or an upper arm fine (depending on your size) but may be to big for some wrist. It also could fit a small neck if expanded to it's fullest-10" & could possibly be worn as a necklace. The snake's head measures 1 6/8" long from it's forked tongue to the end of it's ruby's. The head of the tail measures 1 1/2" long. The snakes body measures 7 6/8" around. The width of the snake is 5/8" wide at the head, 3/4" wide at the tail & the body is almost a 1/2" wide. The snakes body will open 4" wide on the inside & will open 2 3/4" wide at the front.
I don't like taking a picture with me wearing jewelry but I thought you might like to see what this bracelet looks like when it is worn on a forearm arm. Just don't look at my ugly arm. The size of my arm where the bracelet is measures 9" around. If you are thinner than that, it would need to be placed higher up on your arm-possibly your upper arm.

Russell: WT likely out of race for playoffs
Saturday's 35-21 win over West Texas A&M did more than give the Midwestern State Mustangs their first outright Lone Star Conference title.
It probably knocked the Buffs out of the Super Region Four playoff picture and will send them back to the Kansa Bowl for the second time in three years.
Barring any unforeseen upsets — which can and do happen in conference play — WT will have a hard time making it back into the top six in the region.
They would have to beat a 1-8 Texas A&M-Commerce team — which won't help their strength of schedule much — and then hope to jump over three teams — Northwest Missouri, Ouachita Baptist and Humboldt State — who are all playing teams with better than .500 records.
Add to that the fact that Abilene Christian's hold on the No. 5 spot is tenuous — playing a 2-7 Incarnate Word team — and the Wildcats have a win over the Buffs, and it looks more and more like another trip to Topeka, Kan.
The Mustangs are almost assured of the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye if they take care of business against Northeastern State (7-3).
But No. 10 Central Missouri could make it a little interesting if it knocked off No. 2 Washburn — which beat No. 3 Pittsburg State and No. 4 Missouri Western, but lost to No. 6 Northwest Missouri.
The Mustangs' win over the Buffs was just one of four MSU wins over WT on the weekend.
The women's soccer team got things started with a 2-1 overtime win over the Lady Buffs in the LSC semifinals Friday in Abilene on the way to the conference tournament championship.
The cross country team followed that up Saturday morning by beating the field to claim the South Central Regional Championship to qualify for nationals. The Lady Buffs were well back in 11th.
The men's soccer team closed out the winning weekend with a 2-0 win over the Buffs to wrap up the postseason bid and extend their home winning unbeaten streak to 41 matches.
n n n
MSU's No. 3 ranking in the AFCA poll was the highest ranking in team history, but the d2football.com voters did them one better, putting them at No. 2 in their poll Tuesday.
The Mustangs and Colorado State-Pueblo switched spots in the d2football.com poll. The two teams have one common opponent: West Texas A&M. The Thunderwolves — who are undefeated and the top team in Super Region Three — beat WT 26-24 in the season opener.
Abilene Christian is No. 12 in the AFCA poll and No. 7 in the d2football.com poll. The Buffs dropped out of the AFCA poll and are 25th in d2football.com.
n n n
Midwestern State's Kevin Birdow picked up Lone Star Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors for his play against West Texas A&M.
The 6-foot-2, 250-pound defensive end recorded five tackles including two sacks of WT quarterback Dustin Vaughn and hurried him three other times.
The senior from Palestine helped the Mustangs hold the Buffs — the ninth-ranked total offense team in NCAA Division II — to just 267 yards, more than 200 under WT's average of 476 entering the game.
n n n
Former Rider standout Paul Mason is becoming a bigger part of the Angelo State offense as he caught a team-leading three passes for 50 yards and a score in the Rams' 34-14 win over Incarnate Word.
Mason, who also had four yards rushing and one punt return, caught a 42-yard touchdown pass for ASU's first score of the game. Teammate Nathan Bayless of Burkburnett caught two passes for 13 yards.
In his final home game for Tarleton State, Jason Billings of Nocona had one of his best games with three tackles, including one for a loss, in the Texans' 44-3 win over Millsaps College — their fourth straight. Blake Wiest of Henrietta, who had been doing more of the kickoff chores for TSU, only kicked off once.
Vernon standouts Aston Whiteside and Darien Williams both had five tackles for Abilene Christian in its win over Texas A&M-Commerce. Whiteside also had a tackle for loss, forced two fumbles and got a quarterback hurry, while Williams also broke up a pass.

1. Welcome to a leaner, meaner, angrier Michigan.
These aren't the bruising Wolverines of the past. This is Lloyd
Carr's most athletic team yet.
2. For the third straight season, Wisconsin will
start out red-hot and get flattened in November. 9-1 is possible
before facing Penn State and a road trip to Iowa.
3. Ohio State won't slip much in the defensive
back seven despite all the huge losses. The secondary will be
tremendous as the season goes on.
Sept. 30 Ohio State at Iowa
An Iowa win in Kinnick Stadium over the Buckeyes would likely
mean it's a one game season (October 21st at Michigan) for the
Big Ten title. Ohio State will be coming off a tough battle with
Penn State and could be walking into a bear trap.
T1. Iowa
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 7-1
Drew Tate, Sr.
- The
Iowa offense will be much like the 2005 version with balance, occasional
explosion, and a few moments of baffling rough spots. There won't be
many down moments if Drew Tate is a Big Ten Player of the Year caliber
quarterback he's supposed to be, but he can't get banged up. Albert
Young leads a talented backfield that should combine for close to 2,000
yards behind a talented line with a nice mix of steady veterans and
great young prospects. The receiving corps is fast but inexperienced;
while the tight ends will be the stars right away with three great
Defense - The strengths of last season are the concerns of this
year, and vice versa. The Hawkeye D had to replace one of the nation's
top lines, and now the front four should be among the best in the Big
Ten. The 2005 linebacking corps was among the best in the country, and
now big-time replacements are needed. The corners were strong last year
and safety was the question mark, and now, you guessed it, the opposite
is true. The run defense should be great even after losing all-star
linebacker Chad Greenway and Abdul Hodge thanks to a big, quick, and
very active front four that should be special over the next two seasons.
The pass defense needs some tightening, but that might not happen for a
while until the new corners get settled.
season will be a success if …
the Hawkeyes win 11 games and comes up with at least a share of the
Big Ten title. They'll be favored in every conference game but two (at
Michigan and home against Ohio State).
T1. Ohio State
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 7-1
Troy Smith, Sr.
Good-bye Tressel ball, and hello Tressel ball with a kick. QB Troy Smith
should make the spread offense sing making big play after big play with
his legs as well as his arm. The receivers are big, fast, and talented
with Ted Ginn Jr. appearing to be ready to blossom into a superstar
wideout. The backfield is full of talent with star freshman Chris Wells
ready to push possible All-Big Ten runner Antonio Pittman. The line
might be the best in the Jim Tressel's six years in Columbus with a
world of talent, especially at tackle.
Defense Ohio State loses a slew of superstars and top NFL draft
picks from the nation's number five defense, but it's unlikely to slip
much with a tremendous array of athletes ready to step in. There's no
reason whatsoever to worry about the back seven that has to replace all
its starters. The secondary looked fantastic at times this spring with
enough 4.4 speedsters to keep the NFL scouts drooling, but it has to
come up with more than the six interceptions last year's crew helped
pick off. The linebacking corps has seven good options to rotate with a
good mix of hard-nosed run stoppers to speedy outside defenders. The
line needs to come up with a steady pass rush, but that's nitpicking;
All-America tackle Quinn Pitcock and the boys will be a rock against the
season will be a success if …
Buckeyes play for the national title. The schedule is too favorable and
the Texas games comes just early enough that anything less than a game
on January 8th, 2007 in Glendale, Arizona will be a major
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 6-2
Mike Hart, Jr.
- The
offense was a major disappointment last year finishing ninth in the
league in total offense with inconsistency on the line and banged up
running back Mike Hart the main reasons for the problems. New offensive
coordinator Mike DeBord isn't going to change things up too much, but
the call has gone out that everyone has to be in better shape. The line
has trimmed down and should be more athletic, and the backs appear to be
the most fit they've been. The passing game needs Steve Breaston to
finally play like a number one receiver, while Mario Manningham should
emerge as more of a star with quarterback Chad Henne getting better and
better. If Henne goes down, watch out. There's no quarterback depth
Defense - New defensive coordinator Ron English will be the man
under the microscope as he attempts to unwrap the athleticism and talent
that have been hiding behind the just-safe-enough-to-get-beat D. There
won't be wild blitz schemes or anything crazy, but there will be a bit
more aggressiveness in an attempt to come up with more big plays. The
potential is there to be great with a fast back seven with too many good
safeties to get on the field at once. The line should be better with the
likely emergence of Alan Branch as a star tackle and LaMarr Woodley
about to blow up as a pass rushing terror on the outside.
season will be a success if …
wins 11 games and beats Ohio State. The schedule has too many problems
to go unbeaten, but the team is good enough to be in the hunt for a huge
Penn State
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 6-2
Paul Posluszny, Sr.
Anthony Morelli will be fine. The highly touted prospect should be a
steady, productive quarterback with some fantastic receivers to throw to
and two veteran running backs to hand off to. Tony Hunt is an unsung
producer who should crank out another 1,000-yard season even with Austin
Scott getting a little more work. Derrick Williams, Deon Butler, and
Jordan Norwood forms one of the nation's best young receiving corps. The
offensive line will be an issue with only one returning starter, but
that one, tackle Levi Brown, is among the best around. The attack won't
crank out 422 yards and 34.4 points per game again, but it'll be
Defense - It's not going to be anywhere near the killer D of the
last few seasons with only four returning starters, but it's not going
to fall off the map. It all begins and ends with one of the nation's
best linebacking corps led by Butkus Award winner Paul Posluszny, who's
expected to be fine after suffering a knee injury in the Orange Bowl.
Tim Shaw and Dan Connor are tremendous producers who should get plenty
of all-star honors. The secondary needs to be completely replaced, but
the corners should be fine with Justin King getting the starting nod.
Jay Alford is an all-star tackle who'll lead a decent line that should
get better as the year goes on.
season will be a success if …
finishes second in the Big Ten race. It's not a good enough team to get
through the conference season unscathed, but there won't be much of a
slip, if any.
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 5-3
OT Joe
Thomas, Sr.
- Only
three starters return to the nation's 14th best scoring offense, but
things aren't all that bad with a typically enormous Badger line led by
All-America tackle Joe Thomas and underrated quarterback John Stocco
back for his third season as the starter. After that, things are up in
the air with a gigantic group of running backs looking to find a number
one runner to replace Brian Calhoun and a lightning fast receiving corps
with only three catches last year among the top three prospects.
Defense - The potential is there for a fantastic season if
everyone stays healthy and all the young players live up to their
talent. The defensive line went through major problems last year thanks
to injuries and inexperience, but all the pains will pay off with a
deep, experienced, and very, very good group returning with several
potential all-star talents led by tackle Nick Hayden. The back seven has
rock-solid experience in the middle with Mark Zalewski at linebacker and
safeties Joe Stellmacher and Roderick Rogers at safety. There's a flashy
young talent on the outside needing sophomore corners Jack Okegwuonu and
Allen Langford to stay healthy and sophomore outside linebackers DeAndre
Levy and Jonathan Casillas to be major disruptive forces.
season will be a success if …
UW wins at
least a share of the Big Ten title. There are way too many question
marks to ask for an unbeaten season, but the talent is good enough and
the schedule is relatively easy.
6. Michigan State
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 4-4
Drew Stanton, Sr.
- The
offense wasn't always consistent after hitting the wall at some strange
times, but it should be among the most explosive in the nation after
finishing fifth in total yards and 18th in scoring. Quarterback Drew
Stanton leads the tremendous array of skill players with outstanding
veteran receivers to work with to go along with a group of running backs
that bring a nice combination of lightning speed and good power. The
line isn't anything special, but it just has to be merely decent for all
the stars to shine.
Defense - With one of the nation's best offenses to work with,
all the defense has to do is not be awful. It's a D that would like to
attack and be ultra-aggressive, but it didn't generate any sort of a
pass rush last season and didn't come up with nearly enough takeaways
for head coach John L. Smith's liking. The line should be a bit more
athletic, but it'll be slightly undersized on the ends. All three
starters return to a linebacking corps that has to be more disruptive.
Safety Greg Cooper moves to corner, but that means Otis Wiley and JUCO
transfer Nehemiah Warrick have to shine as the new starting safeties.
season will be a success if …
the Spartans win nine games and goes to a bowl. This is hardly a
great team, but there's no excuse to not win at least eight with a win
over a power like Ohio State or Notre Dame thrown in there.
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 3-5
Dorien Bryant, Jr.
- The
starters should be excellent with enough experience and talent returning
to put up big numbers on everyone in the Big Ten. However, things could
go in the tank in a big hurry if there's a massive rash of injuries with
no experienced depth anywhere. The starting five on the offensive line,
which allowed a mere nine sacks last year, should be among the best in
the Big Ten, Kory Sheets is a great looking young back, and Dorien
Bryant and Kyle Ingraham (assuming he's back after being suspended due
to academic problems) will form one of the league's best 1-2 receiving
punches. Curtis Painter is a great running quarterback who needs to
fine-tune his mechanics. New offensive coordinator Ed Zaunbrecher,
formerly of Florida and Illinois, will do wonders with the quarterbacks.
Defense - The defense was one of the 2005 season's biggest
disasters thanks to a porous secondary that never had a reliable
starting foursome and finished last in the Big Ten. There are plenty of
good defensive back prospects, but it's still a shaky situation going
into the season needing several untested prospects to instantly become
reliable playmakers. The front seven should be fine as long as everyone
stays healthy early on with pass rushers needing to emerge to replace
Rob Ninkovich and Ray Edwards. The linebacking corps won't have any
all-stars, but it'll produce.
season will be a success if …
Purdue wins
eight games. The 13-game schedule has plenty of rough patches, but there
are only six games against bowl teams from last year.
T8. Illinois
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 2-6
Pierre Thomas, Sr.
Things didn't work out so hot in the first year under Ron Zook and
offensive coordinator Ed Zaunbrecher finishing last in the Big Ten in
scoring averaging 17 points per game, but even though Zaunbrecher left
for Purdue there's hope for a night-and-day improvement depending on the
emergence of a line that did next to nothing last year. Now it's up to
former Akron coordinator Jim Pry to make the attack more potent. The
addition of Oklahoma transfer Akim Millington at tackle boosts an
experienced line that should be able to open more holes for the solid
1-2 rushing punch of Pierre Thomas and E.B. Halsey. The quarterbacks
should finally have time to breathe and push the ball downfield more to
the speedy young receiving corps, but who will the number one passer be?
Tim Brasic is the incumbent, but true freshmen Isiah Williams and Ben
McGee will join three others to try to take over.
Defense - The Illini defense showed heart and never gave up, but
it was horrible with several players not fitting what Ron Zook and
defensive coordinator Vince Okruch want to do. Speed is at a premium,
and it'll take some more growing pains for the fast, young defenders to
get their feet wet. Being more physical is priority one after getting
shoved all over the place last year finishing with the nation's worst
run defense. The line will be the biggest problem until halfway through
the season, but there are several linebacker options and good safeties.
season will be a success if …
wins five games. Getting to six and a bowl game might be a little too
much to ask out of a team that still needs a few years to emerge.
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 2-6
Matt Spaeth, Sr.
Offensive coordinator Mitch Browning has his work cut out for him and
the Gopher system. After finishing seventh in the nation in total
offense, tenth in scoring and third in rushing, Minnesota has to replace
star tailback Laurence Maroney and, possibly, Gary Russell, who's
doubtful thanks to academic issues. There's almost no depth anywhere,
but the starters should be solid as long as they're healthy. Amir Pinnix
is a small, quick back who'll carry the load early on, while the passing
game should be serviceable with veteran quarterback Bryan Cupito back
along with starting wideouts Ernie Wheelwright and Logan Payne. The
whole is better than the sum of the parts on the line.
Defense - The Gopher D always tries hard and it has its moments,
but it doesn't have the talent or athleticism to hang with the better
offenses. The front four is undersized and the back seven is a bit slow,
so it's a full defensive effort to keep the dam from breaking. Sometimes
it works, sometimes it gets ugly. Sophomores Steve Davis and end and
Dominic Jones at safety are good young players to build around, while
there are enough veterans and enough experience to hope for a more
consistent season.
season will be a success if …
wins seven games and goes to another bowl. There are enough layups to
have a nice base of four wins, and some upsets have to come.
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 1-7
James Hardy, Soph.
- Head
coach Terry Hoeppner knows how to get offensive production, and there
should be more in his second year with a veteran quarterback in Blake
Powers and, arguably, the best receiving corps IU has ever had led by
6-7 James Hardy. There's speed at running back, but not a lot of proven
production. The line has nice young players to build around, but no
depth. Expect the wide-open, four-wide attack to be more consistent and
occasionally explode.
Defense - The IU defense wasn't exactly a thing of beauty last
year, but it wasn't all that bad in the first half of the season. And
then the roof caved in allowing 41, 46, 42, 41 and 41 points over the
final five games. All four starters return to a decent secondary, but
there are wholesale changes being made on the front seven. Playing to
the personnel, the linebacking corps is woefully undersized, but very,
very fast. It'll be in charge of roaming around and being disruptive,
while the big defensive line concentrates on stopping the run.
season will be a success if …
IU wins six
games. It's a tall, tall, tall order for such a young team and with so
many new starters.
Predicted record:
Conf. record: 1-7
Tyrell Sutton, Soph.
- It's
Garrick McGee's offense now taking over for Mike Dunbar, but don't
expect many big changes from last year with the exception of more
two-back sets to get Terrell Jordan in the backfield at the same time as
franchise runner Tyrell Sutton. The offensive line will be one of the
best in the Big Ten with an anonymous group of rock-solid starters and
helped by the return of center Trevor Rees after missing last year with
academic issues. The receiving corps gets top-target Shaun Herbert back
to lead the young but big group that should allow the offense to push it
downfield a bit more. The real concern is at quarterback where C.J.
Bacher, Andrew Brewer and Mike Kafka will try to replace four-year
starter Brett Basanez.
Defense - The good: Northwestern forced 30 turnovers last year
bailing itself out of several big jams, and it should do so again with
nine returning starters. The bad: There might not be much improvement to
a run defense didn't stop anyone last year and a total D that finished
dead last in the nation allowing 480 yards and 34 points per game. The
line is very big and very, very young. Consider it a work in progress
outside of rising star Kevin Mims at one end. A pass rush has to be
generated from somewhere, possibly from veteran outside linebackers Adam
Kadela and Nick Roach, while the middle should be fine even after the
loss of tackling machine Tim McGarigle. The secondary could surprise if
speedy corner Marquice Cole grows into an All-Big Ten caliber playmaker
and the safeties improve with the return of Bryan Heinz, but the second
corner spot will be an Achilles heel all season long.
season will be a success if …
Wildcats win seven games and go back to a bowl, but with the tragic
death of head coach Randy Walker, who knows what shape the program will
be in.

IceRays avenge blowout loss to Bucks
Corpus Christi takes back end of home-and-home with Laredo
CORPUS CHRISTI - Protecting a lead on home ice has been troublesome for the IceRays of late.
With their playoff hopes needing a victory, they found a way to lock things down.
Corpus Christi held off the Laredo Bucks in a 2-1 thriller on Friday night at the American Bank Center.
The victory, before a season-high crowd of 5,362 snapped a two-game losing streak for the IceRays (19-23-4, 42 points) and kept them three points behind Arizona and six behind Rio Grande Valley for the final two playoffs spots in the Central Hockey League's Southern Conference with 18 games to go.
"The guys did a great job, but we're not satisfied with this," IceRays coach Sylvain Cloutier said. "We've got to keep going (tonight at Rio). This is a big win, but we've got to move on.
"They showed me that we have it in the dressing room. Now, it's a matter of being consistent. They've got no excuses. They showed me they can do it and they've got to do it again (tonight)."
Goalie Kris Tebbs, who missed Thursday's 7-1 loss at Laredo with the flu after having a 102-degree temperature earlier in the week, turned in a strong performance with 29 saves.
He also got a couple of breaks, with two Laredo shots clanging off posts, including an early third-period breakaway by leading CHL rookie scorer Darryl Smith after an IceRays turnover.
For one night, that showed the IceRays' luck changing after they blew two-goal leads in suffering gut-wrenching losses their past two times on home ice.
"(The posts) helped me out a little bit today," Tebbs said. "The luck was with us today, so we'll take that gift.
"Everyone came together and the crowd helped us a lot. Everyone played hard, took bodies and sticks and didn't give them much."
All the scoring came in the first period, with IceRays defenseman Ryan Crane giving his team a 1-0 lead with a right-circle wrist shot on the power play at 4:05.
The IceRays then doubled their lead at 14:23 with a highlight-reel goal from captain Justin Quenneville.
After taking a pass from linemate Chris Richards deep in his own zone, Quenneville skated up the left wing, slipped around Bucks defenseman Adam Rivet at the Laredo blue line, and then went up and across the left circle before slipping a shot between goalie Andrew Martin's legs.
Tebbs allowed only Serge Dube's goal late in the first but was perfect after that. He was helped by the makeshift checking line of Jeff Grant, Jeremy Leroux and Chris Shaffer, which shut down the Bucks' dangerous trio of Smith, Brent Cullaton and Alex Goupil.
"Corpus played well," Bucks coach Terry Ruskowski said. "They took charge of the game. They were physical and forechecked. They played better than we did and they deserved to win."
Laredo 1 0 0 - 1
Corpus Christi 2 0 0 - 2
FIRST PERIOD 1, CC, Crane 1 (Bennett, Bachand), 4:05 (pp); 2, CC, Quenneville 15 (Richards), 14:23; 3, Lar, Dube 8 (Kozak, Agarunov), 17:54. Penalty Hand, Lar (tripping), 2:40.
SECOND PERIOD - None. Penalties Leroux, CC (cross-checking), 1:22; Reynolds, CC (cross-checking), 4:39; Richards, CC (holding), 6:58; Hand, Lar (boarding), 11:23; Bennett, CC (unsportsmanlike conduct), 15:56.

Sergeant (Retd) Bernard Morgan returned to the once classified Type X machine, which he used in 1944 to encrypt messages telling aircraft where they were needed, at famous codebreaking site Bletchley Park ahead of the 70th anniversary of D-Day in June.
The 90-year-old also met his modern day equivalent, RAF Aerospace Battle Manager Flight Lieutenant Vikki Thorpe, during his visit to the Bletchley Park heritage site in Buckinghamshire yesterday.
The Type X machine was used to encrypt messages that told aircraft where they were needed for immediate action, before sending the coded messages back to Britain to be actioned, and was vital in helping the RAF's air superiority before, during and after D-Day.
About 12,000 of the machines, which were large and heavy and needed four men to carry them, were built by the end of the war.

The Moral Quandary
Moreover, Saddam, despite his brutal record, is not now carrying out the type of mass slaughter he did against the Kurds in the late 1980s. Iraq today is not like Rwanda in 1994, when Hutus were massacring Tutsis, nor Bosnia in the early and mid-1990s, when Serbs were killing Muslims. So, however cruel Saddam's regime might be, it is not perpetrating the type of atrocities that could normally justify a humanitarian intervention. For this reason, Human Rights Watch has not called for intervention in Iraq, as it did in the cases of Rwanda and Bosnia. (Peter Bouckaert, despite his encounters in Iraqi Kurdistan, remains opposed to military action.)
Finally, there's the fundamental fact that we have not been attacked by Iraq--a major distinction with Afghanistan and Al Qaeda. If Saddam did obtain a nuclear weapon, of course, it would represent a major peril, but most experts agree that the threat is not imminent, undermining the Administration's case for a pre-emptive strike. "Pre-emption and imminence go together," Michael Walzer observed at the NYU forum. "Nobody expects an Iraqi attack right away, so there is nothing to pre-empt." Nor, he said, could a war against Iraq be considered just, according to the strict criteria for making such a judgment. What is justifiable, Walzer said, is "using the threat of force to enforce the inspections system."
But what happens if that threat fails? Strikingly, at the NYU forum, FitzGerald, Gitlin, Urquhart and Walzer all agreed that if the United Nations finds Iraq in noncompliance with Resolution 1441, it would have no choice but to act. "If there's a clear violation of the UN, we would have to go to war," FitzGerald said, summing up the panel's view. Certainly a war conducted under the aegis of the UN would be preferable to one waged unilaterally by the United States; a UN-authorized assault, by embodying the collective will of the international community, could blunt the anger that might erupt if the world's lone superpower went it alone.
Yet here, it seems, the left faces a trap. By insisting that any action against Iraq be undertaken multilaterally, it seems bound to endorse the decisions of the UN--even if they include a declaration of war. Yet, as was clear during the deliberations over Iraq, the Security Council has become more and more subservient to the will of the United States. What's more, the forces unleashed by an invasion--even if backed by the UN--could still be catastrophic. If the Security Council sanctions a war, does that automatically make it just?
There must be another way. One nonviolent alternative, proposed recently in these pages by Andrew Mack (a former aide to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan), would seek to bolster the internal Iraqi opposition by lifting most of the sanctions on Iraq and opening up the country to foreign investment and other forms of international engagement [see "Containing Saddam," December 16]. A more hardheaded policy of "containment-plus," proposed by Morton Halperin and others, would combine an expansion of the no-fly zones in Iraq to cover the entire country, more intensive surveillance and inspections, and the use of precision airstrikes against targets not destroyed voluntarily on the ground. If evidence of an Iraqi nuclear program did emerge, a raid like the one Israel carried out in 1981--this time with UN backing--could effectively dispose of it.
The great drawback of such an approach, of course, is that it would do little to relieve the suffering of the Iraqi people. Sadly, one might simply have to live with that. In the end, the moral case for intervening in Iraq is very strong, but not strong enough.

Anyone got a twitter feed they use? I've tried "installing" quite a few and none seem to work, not sure if it'd be my PHP version, jquery versioning issues or what.
I get no errors and a completely blank screen, I've tried debugging and such. Any ideas?
There can be 101 reasons, its hard to guess since your message does not tell anything.
How you have tried to debug? You should check first if you are using Twitter API version 1.1. If you are. how you are using? Are you using any Twitter library? If yes, most of them use cURL, make sure your server has cURL enabled.
Just spoke to my hosting provider. Apparently twitter has blacklisted them, so not sure what to do now
Tried it, only creates a blank page due to blacklist
Thanks anyway

Southside Community Center opens to the public
By Rob South, WKAR News
LANSING, MI – The city of Lansing held an open house last night for the new southside Community Center in the former Harry Hill High School. The city has been talking about putting a community center on the southside for nearly two decades.
City Council President Derrick Quinney was on the search committee that chose the school. He also was in the first graduating class from Harry Hill in 1973. Quinney says the city invested two-point-two million dollars fixing up the building which includes a pool, gym and auditorium.
The Lansing Public Schools is leasing the center to the city for one dollar a year.

Two Baldwinsville residents are featured in "The Adventures of Rudolph," Central New York's annual holiday family ballet, which will be performed at 11 a.m. Saturday Dec. 11 at the John H. Mulroy Civic Center in Syracuse.
Christina Kwiek, 17, is cast as Rudolph in the performance. A senior at Baker High School, Kwiek has 14 years of dance training at the Center of Ballet & Dance Arts and five years of performing in the production of "The Adventures of Rudolph." She previously held roles as a soldier, elf, reindeer and Rudolph in the production.
Gretchen Grade, 15, is cast as a snowman and reindeer in the performance. A 10th grade student at Baker High School, she has 12 years of dance training through the Center of Ballet & Dance Arts. This is Grade's fifth year performing in the production of "The Adventures of Rudolph." She previously held roles as a soldier, snowman and reindeer in the production.
It is a week before Christmas and Santa's elves are busy making presents. The evil Witch Winter Grey kidnaps the elves so that they might make presents just for her. Only Santa's reindeer Rudolph can penetrate the gloom around the witch's castle with his bright nose. When he arrives at the castle, he and the elves make a plan to escape from the witch.
One of the gifts the elves make for the witch is a magic mirror of truth, which will show the witch what she really is - an ugly hag. The elves and Rudolph refuse to tell her the secret of the mirror until she agrees to release them and change her evil ways. The witch agrees and is transformed into the beautiful Witch Winter White.
When the elves, Rudolph and Witch Winter White return to Santa's workshop, it is Christmas Eve. They find Santa disheartened because there is no snow and the reindeer, who move through the air by stepping on snowflakes, will not be able to fly. Witch Winter White offers her help and begins her magical dance that fills the air with snowflakes. The reindeer can fly and Christmas will come after all.
