Ex NLR mayor's mug won't be rockin' sculpture
Posted: August 16, 2014 at 1:51 a.m.
Dear Otus, We have a spectacular view of the Big Rock Quarry bluffs from our condo on the south side of the river. We're a little concerned now that they plan to sculpt the thing into "Mount Rockmore." Is the sandstone even suitable for that? Do they plan to use dynamite on it? And who do they plan to carve other than Bill Clinton? I hope it's not Pat Hays. Does the public get to vote? -- Ralph Patrick, Little Rock

- Here's my (poorly worded) letter
- I am the publisher of the longest running youth website online launched 01 October 1995, we are over 10 years old and still running - and it runs because our costs are as low as we can keep them. Our users are youth and teens, people who use AOL and other public mailing services because they dont have corporate accounts. That means I have to accept whatever you want to do, and that means a site with no margin for additional expenses is about to get an optional bill.
That option is to pay a fee to the companies that already are rewarded for their online services (like you AOL). You are rewarded by revenue derived by offering competitive services that attract and retain your user base something you create through ongoing technology, including devising competitively placed email services. Now that the user base is large, you have turned your revenue requirements against small content providers whose lifeline to users is email. The internet access revenue model is changing those who control access to people can now generate revenue from those who do not. AOL used to be a gated community with AOL content available strictly to AOL subscribers. It appears it wasnt too hard to think of their users in the same way: as a gated community with can monetize the e.postal service the moment it hits their server.
Could you imagine if the city you lived in (say New York) told the US Postal service that sure, you can deliver mail to our city, but unless you give us an additional fee, that mail might not get to the user, or will arrive in a way that its unrecognizable as mail, and therefore discarded.
Thats what AOL wants to do to the world.

- Mostly to cut back on spam and phishing...
- This move, that so many people are seeing as a bad thing, can be a good thing. This gives legitimate 'for profit' companies a way to ensure that their legitimate email gets to their end users, while ensuring that 'phishing' type emails about their company get blocked.
Any company that uses a bonding service such as goodmail, are also going to register specific server IP addresses for their email. So that anyone else pretending to be the business will end up having their email blocked or modified, and the companies legitimate email will get through intact.
There are already bonded-sender programs on the Internet that ISPs are already using. They are setup differently in that there isn't a per-message fee, but they still exist. This simply takes things one step further, and helps ensure there is some cost-sharing related to the delivery of thousands to millions of emails. (Think of a company like ebay that sends a number of emails per item bid (one message to each current auto-bidder as each new bid comes in), resulting in hundreds of thousands of messages per day. Just that much in legitimate traffic has a cost on the server end for AOL and Yahoo (more servers needed to handle the higher traffic load). Getting some type of cost recovery on that seems more than fair, and the bonding ensures that that bogus ebay messages are blocked as non-legitimate.)
Even if eventually this fails, something like it is needed. Something where for a fee (I would recommend less than .05 cents per message, not 1 cent per message), legitimate companies can register their real server information in a database, and others can use it for enforcement. The fee helps to ensure that the heavy users are covering more of the costs, and the light users are covering less.
There is SPF/Sender-ID, but so many people are splitting camps on this, and many don't understand it, so it isn't gaining the traction it needs to really take off. (Some hosting companies are starting to auto-create SPF records for their customers, but make bad assumptions, resulting in the user's emails being blocked when they use their own ISP to send.) There is also Yahoo's competing Domain-Keys 'signed message' technology that gmail is also making use of, but it also is getting very slow adoption.
At least with this sender-bonding, both AOL and Yahoo have come to an agreement on a technology that can help at least cut down on the forgery of bonded companies. I'm not sure this is something everyone can make use of though, but perhaps it will help set a framework for the future.
What most people don't realize already is how much companies spend for anti-spam technologies. AOL, Yahoo, MSN, and Google probably spend the most on protecting their customers, as they build their own systems in-house, and thus have the larger research costs. Smaller companies (1000 users to 25000 users) usually end up having to purchase very expensive anti-spam hardware device, or opt for less-effective software solutions. These can range in price from $10,000 up to $100,000 for things that include the most advanced technologies. (It used to be a few years back that one company wanted a commitment for at least $100,000, since then they have been bought out, and things have changed.) On top of the device costs are the subscription costs for rapidly updated signatures, and other on-going services. So anti-spam isn't cheap.
Ultimately this effort of AOL and Yahoo is likely to fail as the consumer awareness parts weren't done first, or not done properly. Too much bad publicity got our first, and there are too many fear-mongers playing on things that simply don't make sense. Had this been laid out in layman's terms clearly and plainly at the very first, with all of the possible Q&A items addressed up-front, this would have had a much better chance. Now this is all political without any rationalization on what is really being attempted, and everyone will see this as generally bad.
What people might get is what they don't want. If AOL and Yahoo drop out of this, they may just end up link-disabling ALL email, and image disabling ALL email, just to ensure their customers are getting pornographic emails that are based on embedded images, and phishing emails based on embedded URLs. They wouldn't go that far this year, but at some point (possibly two years out) the spammers are going to get bad enough with embedded image spam and phishing spam, that going back to the days of plain-text emails could become necessary if people don't take a stand to start protecting legitimate emails better now.
Even if people just rally around the SPF/Sender-ID or Yahoo Domain Keys technologies, we can start fighting spam better now, and help prevent an eventual meltdown of too much junk compared to non-junk reaching users.
I hope at least the people complaining so much about this at least take the time to study SPF, and setup the proper SPF settings for the domains they own, so that outsiders can be blocked from pretending to be someone they are not.

- Threats are not the ticket
- You sound like a shill for Goodmail, AOL or Yahoo. A very nasty
one at that. Threatening to trash people's regular email if they
don't go along with paid email will result in an even greater revolt
against the three banditeers.
BTW, have you ever heard of the PARAGRAPH?

- Good idea, bad implementation
- I applaud the idea that mass marketers that want to guarentee delivery of their unsolicted email into my inbox should pay the internet equivalent of bulk rate postage. Part of the problem with unsolicted commercial email has been the extremely low cost per message for the sender.
Where I see a problem is in the proposed implementation. Today, delivery of unsolicted mail outside of cyberspace is controlled and policed by the US Postal Service, which has government oversight. The email equivalent should also have government oversight to insure fairness to all users and to make certain it is operated in the best interest of email recipients, not the senders or shareholders that profit from it use.
Frankly, I would like to see the US Postal service in charge of this service, as it would be a natural extension of their existing mission.

Memorial wins regional lacrosse championship
While lacrosse is considered the fastest-growing team sport in Evansville and around the country, Sam Curtis was hooked from the start.
Even before lacrosse became a club sport locally four years ago, Curtis had been attending clinics.
"It's new," said Curtis, an attacker who had one goal and one assist in Memorial's 10-7 victory over Castle in the Southern Indiana High School Boys' Lacrosse Championship on Saturday at Harrison's Romain Stadium. "There's so much you can do with the sport. It's so versatile as far as players go and everything. It's something new and exciting and fun."
Eric Miller had six goals and three assists to lead the Tigers.
Curtis will play lacrosse and football at Hanover College. Memorial teammate Angelo Butturi, a midfielder who had one goal and three assists against Castle, will join Curtis on Hanover's NCAA Division III lacrosse team.
"We're really psyched to go up there together," Curtis said. "We're hoping to fight for the opportunity to begin playing right off the bat."
Teammate Ben Porter, a midfielder who had two goals against Castle, will play for Elmhurst (Ill.), an NCAA Division III school.
Locally, Memorial has a 33-2 record against Southern Indiana league opponents over the past four years — both losses were against North.
"We have great kids," said Tigers coach Butch Drake. "They do what they're asked to do and they go beyond."
Memorial, 12-7 and ranked No. 17, will face Homestead in the consolation state tournament on May 20 at Fort Wayne. Drake said that teams ranked No. 13 through 20 compete in the consolation tournament. When asked what the Tigers needed to do to advance to the state championship tourney in the future, Drake said: "Win games we're not supposed to win. We played approximately 10 out of town teams this year and that's where our seven losses came from."
Although lacrosse is growing, it's not as rapid as Davis would like.
"There was $300,000 of unused college scholarship money for lacrosse last year alone," Drake said. "We have 36 teams in the state. We need to spread the game to areas such as Vincennes, Tell City and Boonville. I wasn't here when soccer was coming about."
Soccer was sanctioned by the Indiana High School Athletic Association in 1994 and flourished thereafter.
Four years ago, Memorial's lacrosse club program had 28 players. This year, the Tigers have 57.
"It's all growing," Curtis said. "We all had sticks in our hand when it started a few years ago. We're starting to compete with the northern teams and the Indianapolis teams, (players) who have had sticks in their hands since they were six or seven years old. We're competing with them and it goes all the way down to getting our feeder league started. Evansville lacrosse — younger kids are get attached and that's how it happens. It's just a wonderful thing to see everybody come out more in town and see everyone getting better."
Castle, which had the first area girls' team this year, had to play an intrasquad scrimmage because Zionsville canceled. Castle Blue defeated Castle White, 7-4. Next year, Castle will move up from the junior varsity to the varsity level.
"Our improvement over the course of the season has really surprised me," said Castle coach Emily Garrett. "We went from a group of girls who didn't really have a strong understanding of lacrosse to a very competitive JV team."
In order for Castle to improve, it needs to face local competition instead of traveling all the time, Garrett said.

Discussion in 'Fly Swaps' started by Thomas Mitchell, May 7, 2009.
im new to tying and cant tie any spey flies, so im gonna tie a freight train variation
I will be doing a skunk/spey variation or a "mini moal" type fly.
ok. Blue steelie dubbing, grey spey hackle and kingfisher blue wing it is!
What a cast of characters this swap has pulled in! I can't wait to see these fly photos.
I think I'm gonna do a 'red butt purple peril'. or some variation thereof. And Mumbles, who YOU talking about Characters!!:rofl:
You for one! There are a lot of really good characters...
Thanks dude! :thumb: You are as well. I am excited about all these swaps going on right now. I have been a tying machine as of late. Now I'm going to need to get out and fish all of them when they start rolling in!
well i have been done with my flies for a while, but just havnt got around to sending them out yet. but they should be out this week. and again, i cant wait to see the flies. ill try and post a pic later.
I should have my Steelhead bee's (Roderick Haig-Brown style) done by the end of the week.
Thx guys. Mine are done as well. I'll start the photographs as soon as I start receiving flies.
ed, why are you naked in your avatar? kinda creepy... reminds me of buck.
i just found out today(well i think) that my flies are a skunk. dont know for sure.
My flies were sent to you this morning. I have included a postage paid return envelope with my flies. I hope you like em. I have attached a picture of the fly if you look closely you can see it in the roof of the steelhead's mouth.
Just finished.
Originally I was going to send out flies left over from last season. Instead I tied up a bunch of my favorite unweighted swung pattern called the "Half Ass". It is a soft hackle. It was designed for fishing in the surface scum, or the first couple of inches under it. This is one of my three go-to-flies during the warmer part of the fall season in the drainages where the fish are keying on October Caddis. It also makes a great comeback fly after a miss when skating topwater.
The way I prefer to fish it is to cast about 30 degrees down and acros. Mend once big and let the fly dead drift for a few feet. Fish it all the way to the hangdown and make sure you wait a good few seconds after the fly stops before beginning the next cast. This pattern is generally fished in the slower water where it is partially glassy on top with current lines if fished unweighted with a floating line. It will fish anywhere when using the appropriate sink tip.
Should have them out in the mail in the next day or so.
Thanks guys! Matthew dropped his off in person so I'll start photographing and posting to the gallery (already set up) this weekend.
Headed to the post office this morning.
finished my flies tonight. After I tied up a couple of spey variations of a green-butt skunk, I decided that I didnt really get what I was looking for. So I settled for a nice, small october caddis type low water soft hackle, hell it might even pass off as a small shrimp as well....you get the idea. Should be in the mail in the next few days.
I've received flies from:
Matthew G
Arthur V
First sets of photos are posted:
Please get them in the mail by this Friday as I'm mailing everything out the following Friday, June 12th.
I noticed the pics of my fly weren't up yet so I double checked with my wife that she sent it out the other day. She said it didnt go out until Friday, and that it was $4.00. I only enclosed $2 so I may have to send you a couple more bucks this week.

It's one thing to pick a bag of apples from an old tree by the side of a gravel road. It's quite another to spend all day in an orchard trying to earn a living climbing ladders and harvesting box after box of fruit.
All agricultural work is both demanding and dangerous, and working in orchards is one of the most difficult tasks in modern agriculture. Indeed, it's such hard work that a lot of Americans simply can't or won't do it, which leads to labor shortages and immigration issues we continue to fail to come to terms with.
It's interesting to note we'd never considering harvesting grain fields by hand. I live in a small town surrounded by fields of wheat. At the end of the summer, large and complex machines reap the grain in the field, then thresh it, and finally winnow it. The three-step process is automatic as the harvester rumbles across the wheat field.
Why not use machines to harvest fruit orchards? We could free people from the back-breaking tedium of hand picking fruit, training them instead to run machines that could do the work more quickly and safely. Lower-priced produce could then benefit us all.
The good news is that agricultural engineers are making real progress toward exactly that goal. In the process, they've found it useful to change trees themselves. Here's the story.
Machines operate most easily in unchanging conditions. Lawn mowers work because grass in a lawn makes up a pretty uniform surface. Mowers can't cope with truly major bumps or depressions.
One challenge for creating machines that could harvest an orchard is that traditionally fruit trees have all been quite different. They are "bumpy," you might say, with this particular tree pruned years ago in one way, while that tree over there has a different shape.
So the first step in moving toward the mechanization of orchards has been creating trees that are much more similar to one another. Along the way it's also been useful to make the trees shorter. Tthere's no need to have a 22-foot tall apple tree, with its fruit way up off the ground, when a much shorter tree will do.
Another step forward hinged on what I think is a truly clever idea. Instead of letting the trees grow in their usual way, ag engineers had them pruned to keep them growing in just two-dimensions. You could say these trees make thin apple "hedges."
With that innovation, the next step is to design mechanical pickers that can move along the thin rows of short trees, reaching out to pick the fruit.
One idea is to use camera sensors to determine where a piece of fruit is, and then power a robotic-arm that can pick it individually. Before you think that's too fanciful to be true, remember your car was welded together by robotic arms.
Qin Zhang, Ph.D., of Washington State University works on agricultural automation issues including the goal of mechanically harvesting fruit trees.
"People all over the word are putting great effort into developing mechanical fruit harvesters. I will not be surprised if we see mechanically harvested apples in the stores in ten years," he said to me recently.
Although mechanizing agriculture always entails periods of economic adjustment for all concerned, I've got to wish Dr. Zhang the best.
The equivalent of a combine harvester for fruit would be a labor-saving device that could help a lot of people in several ways, both in the field and in the grocery store.E.

Orchestra ready for classic as it makes bow in capital
Posted: May 22, 2009|
DERBY-BASED orchestra Sinfonia Viva aims to enhance its growing reputation by making its London debut tomorrow
The orchestra will perform at King's Place as part of the venue's East Meets West Festival.
Viva will be joined by North India's star violinist Kala Ramnath who originally performed Seasons – her own improvised work fusing South American and South Asian music – alongside the orchestra and 180 school pupils during a Derby-based education project in 2007.
Viva chief executive Peter Helps explained: "It is wholly appropriate that our debut concert in London should feature work that was first pioneered through an education programme here in the East Midlands – showing the unique diversity of the orchestra. Our profile in the East Meets West Festival and the challenging nature of the programme, bringing together different musical genres, will be an opportunity to show the London audiences that the East Midlands is certainly alive and kicking when it comes to pushing the classical music boundaries."
Kala Ramnath is one of the stars of Indian classical music. Described as "a musician of giant-like qualities" by Jazzwise magazine, she is a leading figure of the Mewati Gharana, a school of music and dance that goes back to the 16th century.
She said: "When I first played with Sinfonia Viva in Derby, I could see the limitless possibilities of the meeting of the two musical systems, bringing out the best in both."

Originally written on The Colts Authority | Last updated 4/3/12
After Dallas Clark was released and Jacob Tamme departed in free agency the tight end has been moving up the team needs chart. The team started to address that today by signing former Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Kyle Miller. Don't too excited folks. Miller couldn't make the final roster for the Jaguars who were so hard up for anyone with receiving skills that they actually signed Greg Cowan at one point. OK, I made the last part up but Greg certainly would have been competitive with that group.

Ok, first of all, I have been away from Daz for over a year and a half but I got bitten by the bug again so I grabbed studio 4.5 pro recently and started playing again. I had been reading about the autofit feature so I decided to give genesis a try with some of the gen 4 content I have. I loaded up the default genesis figure then autofit the Hardcore outfit for M4 over to him and everything fit very well, though I did have to use a little smoothing/collision on the shirt, even the boots belt and holster all came over just fine. Then I applied some morphs to genesis (just some dial settings on the standard ones) and sure enough the whole outfit automagically adjusted itself for a perfect fit to the morphed character. Being pretty pleased with the results I saved this as a scene and went off to do some other things.
Ok, when I loaded up the scene later I originally thought the morph following of autofit was no longer working, but I looked closer and it seems that the smoothing modifier is missing on the shirt. Does studio not save smoothing modifiers in the scene when working with autofit clothing? Smoothing and collision is my current favorite feature of studio and I just need to know the best way to use it.
Another question I have, when converting gen 4 items for genesis, can I saved the converted items as some sort of preset or asset or do I have to convert them each time I want to use them?

Lipemia is frequently seen during the course of diabetes mellitus. It usually occurs transiently as part of the syndrome of acute insulin deficiency, disappearing rapidly with insulin therapy. Less commonly, chronic lipemia is encountered that is not always abolished by insulin administration. A role for carbohydrate (CHO) induction in these cases was suggested by the finding of endogenous as well as exogenous particulate fat in the plasma of 3 insulin-requiring patients with chronic diabetic lipemia, and was evaluated in 2 of them in a Clinical Research Center as follows: Each was given [1] a high-CHO, no-, or low-fat diet and

A fantasy comes to life
Actor in 'Scooby' gets role he always wanted
Growing up, Noah Fish and his buddies had their own version of Scooby-Doo's Mystery Inc. Gang. They solved any high jinks going on in the neighborhood with each kid portraying a different character and Fish picturing himself as the charismatic Fred.
And now, he's living out those childhood fantasies portraying that same character on stage as "Scooby-Doo Live! Musical Mysteries" travels across the country.
"It's a blast," Fish said. "It is absolutely one of my favorite roles to date because of the connection I have to it personally watching the cartoons and growing up with it. Playing a role I watched so much as a kid is an experience of a lifetime."
Tickets are still available for Scooby-Doo Live on Wednesday at The Centre.
Scooby and the Mystery Inc. Gang are called upon to solve an epic mystery — find a troublemaking ghost haunting The Centre's Aiken Theatre.
There are crazy ghosts, perplexing puzzles and plenty of Scooby Snacks.
The interactive show includes big musical numbers such as the cartoon's theme song, "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?," as well as groovy tunes "Round Every Corner" and "We're Mystery Inc."
There are new characters as well as the characters that generations of guests will remember.
Fish said one of his favorite aspects of the show is how interactive it is. Shaggy asks the audience to "help them out" by watching for the ghost.
"When the kids see the ghost they yell, 'Ghost, ghost!' " Fish said, laughing. "The kids really seem to love it. They get to play charades; it is really something fun for the family."
He stressed that it isn't just for kids. Adults can appreciate the nostalgia of seeing one of the nation's longest-running cartoons come to life on stage.
Tickets for the show are still available from $14.50 to $60, with some tickets including an opportunity to meet the cast.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Ryan Nassib threw for 246 yards, Jerome Smith ran for 144 yards and Syracuse handed No. 11 Louisville its first loss of the season in a 45-26 victory on Saturday.
Playing in the last home game of his career, Nassib directed an offense that gained 524 total yards. Nassib went 15 of 23 and passed Donovan McNabb to move into second place on the school's career passing yards list behind Marvin Graves
The Orange (5-5, 3-3 Big East) blew the game open with three touchdowns in the second quarter and Louisville (9-1, 4-1) allowed more points than it had in any game this season. Syracuse is a win away from bowl eligibility with road games against Missouri and Temple left.
Teddy Bridgewater completed 36-of-49 passes for 426 and three touchdowns for Louisville, who fell into second place behind Rutgers in the Big East race.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Collin Klein ran for two touchdowns and No. 3 Kansas State bolstered its national title hopes with a victory at Big 12 newcomer TCU.
The Wildcats improved to 10-0 for only the second time under coach Bill Snyder, and moved within two wins of likely reaching their first BCS championship game.
Only a few minutes after the start of Kansas State's game, and a rare turnover by Klein, SEC newcomer Texas A&M finished off its 29-24 victory at Alabama, the No. 1 team in the BCS standings and AP poll. The Aggies win gave their old Big 12 rivals at K-State a boost.
AUBURN, Ala. — Aaron Murray passed for 208 yards and three touchdowns, freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall each ran for more than 100 yards and No. 5 Georgia overwhelmed Auburn, sending the Bulldogs back to the SEC championship game.
Georgia (9-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) was methodical in its dominating win. It scored the first shutout for either team in the series since the Bulldogs' 28-0 win in 1976.
BATON ROUGE, La. — Zach Mettenberger passed for 273 yards and two touchdowns, and ninth-ranked LSU kept alive faint hope of a Southeastern Conference title with a victory over No. 23 Mississippi State.
Looking sharp a second straight week, Mettenberger completed 19 of 30 passes without an interception. His top target was Jarvis Landry, who had nine catches for 109 yards — both career highs — including a 19-yard touchdown to help the Tigers (8-2, 4-2 SEC) beat the Bulldogs (7-3, 3-3) for the 13th straight time.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Jelani Jenkins returned a blocked punt 36 yards for a touchdown with 2 seconds remaining and No. 7 Florida rallied in the closing minutes to beat Louisiana-Lafayette.
The Gators (9-1) scored twice in the final 2 minutes to avoid the biggest upset in school history.
Florida did little on offense most of the day and looked to be in serious trouble when quarterback Jeff Driskel left the game with an ankle injury.
CLEMSON, S.C. — Tajh Boyd threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns in No. 10 Clemson's victory over Maryland, the Tigers' sixth straight and record 12th in a row at Death Valley.
Clemson (9-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) had little trouble with the banged-up Terps (4-6, 2-4), who again started linebacker Shawn Petty at quarterback because of season-ending injuries to their four scholarship passers.
The Tigers ended things early as Boyd passed for a 13-yard touchdown to Adam Humphries and a 28-yard score to DeAndre Hopkins. In between, Clemson defensive end Corey Crawford brought a Petty fumble 16 yards for a touchdown as part of his team's 21-point first quarter.
Clemson star receiver Sammy Watkins left the game in the second quarter with a lower leg injury.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Connor Shaw threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score as No. 12 South Carolina beat Arkansas.
Shaw was 15-of-23 for 279 yards for the Gamecocks (8-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference), who finished with six league wins for only the second time in 20 years in the SEC.
Arkansas (4-6, 2-4) will now have to beat both Mississippi State and LSU to make a bowl game after starting the season No. 10 in the country.
It was only the second win over the Razorbacks in the last seven games for the Gamecocks and it broke a three-game losing streak during which the Hogs embarrassed South Carolina by double-digits.
STANFORD, Calif. — Kevin Hogan threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns in his first collegiate start, and No. 16 Stanford overcame four turnovers to rally past No. 13 Oregon State and stay in control of its Pac-12 title hopes.
Cody Vaz fumbled late in the fourth quarter to give the Cardinal (8-2, 6-1) the ball at the Beavers 29. The only Oregon State (7-2, 5-2) turnover turned out to be the difference.
NORMAN, Okla. — Landry Jones threw for 277 yards and two touchdowns, Damien Williams ran for 99 yards and two scores and No. 14 Oklahoma beat Baylor to move Bob Stoops into sole possession of second place on the school's career wins list.
Backup quarterback Blake Bell scored on a 55-yard keeper in the fourth quarter for the longest run by a quarterback in the Stoops era.
Lache Seastrunk ran for 91 yards and three touchdowns for Baylor (4-5-, 1-5 Big 12), the last score getting the Bears within eight with 1:26 to play after quarterback Nick Florence got in on the 2-point conversion.
AUSTIN, Texas — David Ash passed for 364 yards and two touchdowns and No. 19 Texas honored former coach Darrell Royal by whipping Iowa State.
Ash had a 61-yard touchdown pass to Mike Davis in the first quarter. Johnathan Gray ran for two touchdowns for the Longhorns (8-2, 5-2 Big 12), who won their fourth in a row.
Texas paid tribute during the game to Royal, who died Wednesday at age 88. Texas lined up in the wishbone, the formation Royal introduced to college football in 1968, on the Longhorn's first play. Instead of a run, Texas ran a trick play that resulted in a 47-yard pass. Steele Jantz passed for 133 yards for the Cyclones (5-5, 2-5) but was under constant pressure from the Texas defense.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Ka'Deem Carey ran for a Pac-12 record 366 yards and scored five touchdowns, powering Arizona to a rout of Colorado.
Carey, who carried 25 times, broke the record of 357 rushing yards set by Washington State's Rueben Mayes at Oregon on Oct. 27, 1984. The sophomore's five rushing TDs tied a conference record.
With Pac-12 leading passer Matt Scott out with a concussion, junior college transfer B.J. Denker completed 12 of 14 passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns in his first start for Arizona (6-4, 3-4). He also ran for 44 yards and a touchdown. In his first start this season, Colorado's Nick Hirschman was 12 of 13 for 123 yards and one interception. Christian Powell rushed for 137 yards and two scores for the Buffaloes (1-9, 1-6).
LOS ANGELES — Marqise Lee caught 10 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown, Curtis McNeal rushed for 163 yards and two more scores, and No. 21 Southern California bounced back from consecutive losses with a victory over skidding Arizona State.
Matt Barkley threw for 222 yards and three TDs while becoming the leading passer in conference history for the Trojans (7-3, 5-3 Pac-12), who overcame a slow start and five turnovers to snap their two-game skid. USC hasn't lost three straight since 2001, former coach Pete Carroll's first season.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Brandon Coleman caught his second touchdown of the game on a 31-yard pass from Gary Nova with 8:49 to play and No. 24 Rutgers survived a valiant effort by mistake-prone Army in posting a victory.
LUBBOCK, Texas — Eric Stephens took the snap out of the wildcat formation, rolled to his right and threw a 3-yard jump pass to Darrin Moore for a touchdown in double overtime to lead No. 25 Texas Tech past Kansas.
Kansas quarterback Michael Cummings couldn't connect with Tre' Parmalee in the end zone on fourth-and-9 for Kansas to end the Jayhawks chances.
AKRON, Ohio — Four Massachusetts interceptions led to 19 points as the Minutemen won for the first time at the Football Bowl Subdivision level, defeating Akron.
TROY, Ala. — Corey Robinson completed 25 of 28 passes for 322 yards and a touchdown to lead Troy in a win over Navy.
Backup quarterback Deon Anthony ran for two touchdowns and was 9-of-12 passing for 93 yards and a score for the Trojans (5-5).
Gee Gee Greene ran for 150 yards and a touchdown, while quarterback Keenan Reynolds had three rushing touchdowns for the Midshipmen (6-4), who had a five-game win streak snapped.
SAN DIEGO — Adam Muema ran for two touchdowns and Everett Beed returned a fumble 52 yards for a score, leading San Diego State to a win over Air Force.
RALEIGH, N.C. — Mike Glennon threw two touchdown passes while Tobais Palmer returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score to help North Carolina State beat Wake Forest and secure bowl eligibility.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Robert Godhigh rushed for two touchdowns and caught a third, and Georgia Tech held off North Carolina in the highest-scoring game in Atlantic Coast Conference history.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Michael Rocco threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Jake McGee with 6 seconds remaining and Virginia rallied from a 10-point deficit to stun Miami.
Rocco threw four touchdown passes and Virginia (4-6, 2-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) won its second in a row after a six-game losing streak. It was the Cavaliers third straight win against the Hurricanes.
BOSTON (AP) — Everett Golson ran for a touchdown and threw for two more on Saturday night to help No. 4 Notre Dame beat Boston College 21-6 and keep its national championship hopes intact.
Taking the field one hour after top-ranked Alabama lost to No. 15 Texas A&M, the Fighting Irish (10-0) remained unbeaten and in the hunt for a spot in the BCS title game. And a week after needing triple overtime — and a lot of luck — to get past unheralded Pittsburgh, Notre Dame eased past a longtime rival that had twice before spoiled its hopes of a No. 1 finish.
Golson completed 16 of 24 passes for 200 yards, connecting with Troy Niklas for a 7-yard touchdown at the end of the first half and with John Goodman from 18 yards out early in the second.
Chase Rettig completed 27 of 34 passes for 247 yards for BC (2-8), which is off to its worst start since going 0-11 in 1989.

Nearly a third of BP shareholders yesterday rebelled against pay policies that tripled chief Bob Dudley's pay last year, although the company won the backing of frequent critic Standard Life Investments (SLI).
With a 20% stake in Russia's Rosneft, BP also sought to play down the risks to the company of the Ukraine crisis.
Discussing Scottish independence, Mr Svanberg told BP's annual investor meeting in London: "It would not have, I would say, any major implications long-term but anything that creates uncertainty will always mean more caution from business investors."
He added: "Our commitment to the North Sea certainly continues."
But Mr Dudley, in line with his comments in February, pursued a more robust line.
He told the event at the Excel Centre: "We have a £10 billion programme of investment over the next 10 years in the North Sea. Therefore uncertainty does make us think carefully about issues like currency and other things."
Edinburgh-based SLI, long a critic of executive pay at BP, agreed to back the oil giant's remuneration policies citing positive progress despite a trebling in chief Bob Dudley's package to £5.2 million last year.
Mike Everett, SLI's governance and stewardship director, told that meeting that BP's pay policies had improved but "the journey is not yet complete".
"In light of these improvements we have decided, this year, to support the remuneration resolutions," he said. "However, I want to make clear the importance we place on the remuneration committee exercising its discretion diligently and effectively."
This didn't stop other investors giving BP a rap on the knuckles with 31.9% of investors failing to support the company's remuneration report.
Its pay policies for the coming three years were backed by a healthier margin in a separate vote.
Private investor John Farmer said: "The remuneration is inappropriately high given the catastrophic record of the company."
Another small shareholder, Mike Porter, contrasted the salaries paid to executives with returns to shareholders after year in which BP's profits fell 22%.
Mr Svanberg said: "The energy industry is truly global. We compete in a global market and BP must ensure that we are able to attract and retain the best people. Executives must be rewarded according to the company's success."
BP's directors tried to reassure investors about the prospects for its near 20% stake in Russian oil giant Rosneft despite to ongoing disputes in the Crimea region. Mr Dudley said BP acted as a "bridge" between Russia and Europe..
Mr Putin has told European leaders a dispute over Ukraine's gas debt to Russia could affect supplies of Russian gas to Europe and proposed urgent discussions on the matter.
But Mr Dudley played down the threat: "Neither side can or will turn this (the gas pipelines) off.
"It would be a significant problem for everyone."

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently re-launched their website, Oscars.org. The organization included a section titled Collection Highlights. The section contains more than 10 million photographs, 165 thousand film and video assets, 80 thousand screenplays, 50 thousand posters, 20 thousand production and costume design drawings, and more than one thousand special collections of well-loved films like Singin' In the Rain and It's a Wonderful Life.
And now, the Harry Potter film franchise has been added to this elite collection with movie posters, on-set stills, press clippings and fun facts from all eight films.
Personally, I enjoyed viewing the collection. It was like going through a virtual scrapbook of Harry Potter memorabilia. Though the images overlap each other, I just had to click on a spot or the corner of the one I wanted to view and the image expanded. One has to scroll down the page to view everything in the collection. The photos and press clippings brought back memories for me of waiting for each film and each book to be released. I almost had forgotten that Tim Roth was initially considered for the role of "Severus Snape"; and now it's hard to imagine anyone else but Alan Rickman portraying the Professor of Potions. I even forgot the 2006 press story of the 1962 Ford Anglia being discovered in Cornwall. That had been a mystery because the car had no engine!
Thanks to The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for letting us know about this wonderful collection!

Sensory Extinction : Its Effects on Target Sterotyped Behaviors in Adjacent Non-Programmed Situations
Dolphin, Duane J.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectPsychology; Behavior modification
The problem. Recent studies have demonstrated that sensory extinction procedures can be effective in decreasing behavioral stereotypies. When a sensory extinction procedure is not continually maintained, the potential exists for an alternation between schedules of reinforcement and extinction. Studies from the animal literature indicate that this alternation can give rise to schedule interactions and result in possible unwanted effects on the target stereotypy. This study will assess possible additional effects of sensory extinction procedures on behavioral stereotypies in adjacent non-extinction settings. Procedure. Sensory extinction procedures were developed for two subjects. The procedures were then introduced and withdrawn in strict alternating fashion. The frequency and cumulative time spent responding was assessed during extinction as well as non-extinction periods. Findings. For both subjects, stereotyped responding in periods when the extinction procedure was introduced decreased below baseline levels. In the non-extinction periods for one subject, responding increased over baseline levels. During a second phase, response levels for both subjects again decreased beLow baseline levels during extinction periods. Response measures also decreased for both subjects below baseline levels in periods when the extinction procedure was withdrawn. Conclusion. The sensory extinction procedures used in the study were effective in decreasing stereotyped responding. These procedures also had an effect on the stereotypies in the non-extinction settings, as these responses deviated from baseline. Recommendations. The study indicates that sensory extinction procedures can lead to unintended effects on responding in adjacent non-programmed settings. Clinicians using such procedures need to assess what the exact effects, if any, will be. Further research needs to assess whether these findings extend to more clinically relevant situations.

But I do think it's wrong on some terms and that they should tell you if they do at least be honest. And try and talk to a girl for a couple months or more to see how they act.

Originally written on No Guts, No Glory | Last updated 8/31/12
There's nothing better for a defensive player than to be able to not only recover a fumble, but to scoop it up and take it in for a score. On the flipside, there's nothing worse for a defensive player than to scoop up a fumble and run the wrong way. And that's what happened Thursday night when Kent State's Andre Parker scooped up a fumble on a punt return and returned it 58 yards in the wrong direction in Kent State's game against Townson. But believe it or not, Parker's play wasn't the worst part of all of this. That distinction goes to the Townson players who ran Parker down and stopped him from scoring a safety for Townson. [BSO]

Yup have all ME's on PC. General idea is get all games on PC unless it is console only, racing game or co-op (games like Splinter Cell: Conviction, Army of Two etc.)
Unfortunately I don't play much of the ME3 co-op and generally playing the hell out of other games or other co-op games (Blame Vital and Silva ) though slowly but surely I am working through the ME series again, already done ME1 and onto ME2

The Aeroporto Rio de Janeiro S/A Concessionaire will begin taking over operations of Rio de Janeiro Galeao International airport on 11 August, after signing a concession contract for the airport earlier in April.
The transition will take three to six months and be supervised by state-owned operator Infraero, says Odebrecht Transport, which owns 30.6% of the concessionaire.
Singapore's Changi Airport owns 20.4% and Infraero maintains a 49% stake under the 25-year concession that was signed on 2 April and awarded in November 2013. Odebrecht and Changi paid R$19.01 billion ($8.48 billion) for the concession.
The concessionaire plans to invest R$2 billion before the Rio 2016 Olympics begin. This is up from an initial offer to invest R$1.4 billion during the first two years.
The investment includes 26 new jet bridges in a new concourse connected to terminal 2 and an 80% increase in the area of aircraft apron adjacent to the passenger terminal complex, according to Odebrecht.
"The airport is a symbol for the city of Rio de Janeiro and we have a very extensive improvement programme that includes training, resources and investments of some R$5 billion during the [25-year] operation," says Luiz Teive, president of Aeroporto Rio de Janeiro, in a statement.
Changi said in November that it intends to increase annual passenger capacity at the airport to 60 million by 2038 in an effort to make Galeao the "international gateway for Brazil and South America".
Galeao airport handled 17.1 million passengers in 2013, Infraero data shows. This was down 2.3% from 17.5 million in 2012.

GNOME Cleartext Passwords: Bug or Feature?
The current discussion in the Ubuntu forums is about a possible security hole in GNOME, specifically about GNOME registered users having their passwords appear as cleartext on the keyring. Not a bug, say its defenders, but the security concept behind the GNOME keyring.
In the discussion thread, the discoverer of the "blatant security flaw" gave an example of how it happens in Ubuntu 9.10. The user starts Ubuntu and registers on the desktop. The path through the Applications | Accessories | Passwords and Encryption Keyrings menus arrives at the keyring manager. Clicking on the Login folder shows the application processes and programs (including WLAN and mail accounts) and their respective passwords.
A right mouse click on an entry shows a context menu of properties, one of its tab being for keys. Clicking Password pops up a screen asking whether keyring access is allowed, for which no restrictions exist. The passphrase then appears and can be viewed as cleartext.
Critics of this approach provide a scenario whereby a profile owner has multiple users allowing access to the account. Operating in WLAN mode he wants to ensure that his keyring passphrase is secure. The suggestion is to further secure it through the user password so that guests need to know the profile owner's password before discovering what the keyring passphrases are. As it is, so goes the argument, users without much technical knowhow can easily steal the passphrases, so that additional password protection would deter "99% of potential identify thieves."
Defenders of the GNOME keyring strategy assure that only registered users have access to passphrases, the solution being to "lock your screen if you walk away." Defenders refer to the gnome-keyring security philosophy that suggests just that: locking the screen and creating guest logins. For those who still consider this a problem, so far no hard and fast solution exists. However, it is being actively discussed, among other places in the gnome-keyring mailing list.
It is a massive holeIt is an incredible, massive hole in security - anyone with physical access to the keyboard and display can reveal all passwords in plain text. I can think of many situations where "lock your screen" simply does not apply, because you are in a hurry, because you are forgetful, because you are socially engineered into leaving your screen unlocked.
There are many environments where this level of incompetent insecurity is simply unacceptable, where as a consequence Linux is unacceptable - including environments with a Clear Desk Policy which I have worked in.
UselessSounds like KWallet for GNOME.. and I'll remove the useless pile of rubbish as soon as I figure out how.

Yes. That is what I was saying. The difference is each zone has multiple copies of its self. So you can choose one that has less people in it. It is more like WoW and EQ than it is Guild Wars.
I like the multiple copies of zone because you have a greater chance of completing hard quests. For example there is a quest in the Wild Lands where the wounded child only appears once every 6 hours. No problem if he isn't there, pick another instance. If he isn't in those then you can chose the epic version of that instance where less people if not no one goes into and finish the quest.
You can group up in the zones like EQ.
