Aggies/ BYU, the Series
Despite facing BYU on the grid iron just once, in 2011 as the Cougars beat NM State, 42-7, the Aggies have a long history with other teams from the state of Utah, including WAC member Utah State, Southern Utah and Weber State. NM State holds a 1-0 record against both Weber State and Southern Utah, while Utah State holds the series edge at 32-7. The Aggies faced Utah State earlier this season.
NM State has only played two of the four current Independent football schools in Army and BYU. The Aggies first met Army in 1999, as the Black Knights won 35-18 in West Point, N.Y. NM State then hosted Army in 2000, winning the home game at Aggie Memorial Stadium 42-24, behind 21 points in the second quarter.
Walker at BYU
NM State head coach DeWayne Walker is familiar with the BYU football program. Back in 1994, Walker served as defensive backs coach under then head coach LaVelle Edwards. The Cougar went 10-3 that season, as Walker helped guide BYU to a 31-6 win over Oklahoma in the 1994 Copper Bowl.
Walker recruited quarterback Steve Sarkisian and defensive back Tim McTyer to BYU. He was also the first African-American coach to be hired at BYU.
Scouting the Cougars
This season the Cougars have been a balanced team through the air and on the ground, averaging 235.1 yards passing and 163.9 yards rushing a game. BYU has been outscoring its opponents 27.3 points per game to 14.7 this season. With a 6-5 record the Cougars have been great in the red zone, converting on 79 percent of their trips inside the 20-yard line. This past weekend the Cougars lost to San Jose State, 20-14, in San Jose.
Individually for BYU, quarterback Riley Nelson has thrown for 2,011 yards and 12 touchdowns in nine games for the Cougars, averaging 223.4 yards in the air. Nelson has also rushed for 183 yards and a touchdown. Jamaal Williams leads the rushing attack for BYU, averaging 62.0 yards per game with 11 touchdowns, while Cody Hoffman leads the receiving corps. Hoffman has recorded 78 catches for 952 yards and six touchdowns.
Brandon Ogletree leads the Cougars' defense with 82 tackles on the season, followed by Danie Sorensen with 62.

BYU quickly scored on a nine-yard touchdown reception by Matt Edwards from Jake Heaps to give the Cougars a 35-7 lead with 3:14 remaining in the third. The Cougars tacked on another touchdown in the fourth quarter to yield the final score.
The Aggie offense moved into Cougar territory on its initial drive to open the game. But inside the BYU 30-yard line, the Cougar defense sacked Christian who fumbled and BYU recovered near midfield.
BYU took advantage of the miscue. The home team drove 52 yards in 12 plays capped off by a four-yard touchdown run by Bryan Kariya to put the Cougars up 7-0 with 5:38 left in the first quarter.
The Cougars opened the second quarter with the ball on their own 36-yard line. After a BYU penalty to open the quarter, safety Donyae Coleman made his fifth interception of the season at the Cougars' 39-yard line to give the NM State offense good field position.
A few plays later Turner converted a 4th-and-1 with a 12-yard gain up the middle to move the Aggies to the BYU 17-yard line. Soon after the conversion Christian connected with Franklin for a three-yard touchdown reception to tie the game at 7-7 with 9:40 left before halftime. Christian went 5-for-5 on the scoring drive.
On the ensuing drive, BYU marched 90 yards in 15 plays to score on a 20-yard touchdown pass from Heaps to Ross Apo. The score gave BYU a 14-7 advantage with 3:25 before the half.
After the Aggie offense went three-and-out on the next possession, BYU took over inside NM State territory with 2:14 remaining. The Cougars capitalized with another scoring drive as Apo caught an eight-yard touchdown reception from Heaps with 30 ticks left on the clock. Apo's second score of the game put BYU up 21-7 just before the half.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves saw a two-goal third period lead evaporate, but left wing Brett Sterling and goaltender Matt Climie came through in the shootout to give the Wolves a 4-3 win over the Toronto Marlies Friday night at the Allstate Arena.
Sterling tallied twice in regulation and was the only skater on either team to score in the shootout during his first game back in Chicago's lineup since Jan. 18. With the win, the Wolves (30-21-5-4) snapped a three-game winless skid.
"For a team that had a lot of new faces tonight, I think we really played a strong game," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "I really tip my hat to the new guys who played hard and Matty was outstanding in net."
Chicago opened scoring just two minutes into the contest when defenseman Jeremie Blain's shot from the far point was kicked out by Marlies goaltender Drew MacIntyre, but forward Michael Davies jumped on the rebound at the side of the net and hammered the puck home into an empty net.
The Wolves doubled their lead with a power-play marker at 4:17 of the second period. Left wing Darren Archibald snapped a shot from the slot that was stopped by MacIntyre, but he coughed up a rebound that Archibald collected. He slipped a pass to Sterling at the side of the net to set up his first of the night.
Toronto (35-20-2-5) cut the Wolves lead to 2-1 with a power-play marker of its own at 14:07. Defenseman Korbinian Holzer fired a shot from the near faceoff dot that Climie stopped, but the puck laid in the crease and right wing Spencer Abbott was left unmarked back door and he tapped home the puck.
Climie (17-18-3) delivered 31 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped all five shootout attempts.
Sterling's second marker of the night came at 17:48 of the middle frame and re-established Chicago's two-goal advantage as he redirected a Darren Haydar shot over MacIntyre's glove.
MacIntyre (7-2-2) posted 24 saves in regulation and overtime and stopped four shootout tries.
Toronto forced extra time with two goals in the third period. The Marlies closed within 3-2 when right wing Greg Scott stripped a Wolves player at the Chicago blueline, broke in one-on-one with Climie and stick-handled around the netminder at 2:35.
The Marlies knotted the score at three when defenseman Morgan Rielly's one-timer from the near point snuck through traffic and over Climie's shoulder with 5:34 remaining in regulation.
The Wolves travel to Peoria for an Illinois Lottery Cup contest against the Rivermen at 7 p.m. Saturday at Carver Arena. They return home at 3 p.m Sunday for an Amtrak Rivalry game against Milwaukee. For tickets, visit ChicagoWolves.com or call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

A recent project has reexamined artefacts originally excavated at Port Arthur during the 1970s, but which have not until now been fully studied due to a life cut tragically short.
After nearly four decades on the shelf, the collection of pioneering University of Sydney archaeology student Maureen Byrne has finally been analysed, opening an extraordinary window into the daily lives of Australia's most hardened convicts.Though 35 years have passed since Byrne unearthed the rare artefacts from Australia's first prisoners' barracks at Port Arthur, her findings had never been examined. Byrne's untimely death at the age of twenty-four from a severe asthma attack left a planned second excavation of the site unfulfilled; her collection unscrutinised and stowed away for safe-keeping at the site.In July 2012 the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority (PAHSMA) hosted and co-delivered a University of Sydney Advanced Archaeology workshop in archaeological artefact analysis. Seven students led by Dr Martin Gibbs spent two weeks at Port Arthur sorting, cataloguing and quantifying the artefact recoveries from the 1977 excavations at the First Prisoner Barracks site.
PAHSMA's Jeanne Harris provided professional advice and support for the duration of the period. The course participants undertook the first structured assessment of this material since its initial recovery some 35 years ago. At least two Honours level projects have been developed from the course; these will take place in the 2013 academic year.

Moment of silence planned Feb. 16 for 10th anniversary of fatal crane collapseWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
A moment of silence is planned for 2:22 p.m. Feb. 16 in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of the crane collapse during construction of the Veterans Glass City Skyway that killed four workers and injured four others.
Robert Lipinski, Mike Moreau, Mike Phillips and Arden Clark, all members of Ironworkers Local 55 of Toledo, were killed in the accident on Feb. 16, 2004.
Josh Collins and Roger Henneman of Ironworkers Local 55 and Allan Hedge and Mark Buck of Operating Engineers Local 18 were injured.
Asking for the moment of silence are Mayor D. Michael Collins; Joe Blaze III, business manager for Local 55; Shaun Enright, president of Northwestern Ohio Building & Construction Trade Council; along with other labor leaders and elected officials.
"Unions have made jobs safer, but there are construction projects that carry a risk, when despite the skill and experience, equipment or some other failure kills or injures one of our brothers or sisters," Enright said in a news release. "It is important that we never forget these four men who died or those who were injured and that we continue to push for industry safety standards through collective bargaining."
"For all of those who worked on the Veterans Glass City Skyway, it was a dream job for them to build something that our community will have for years to come," Blaze said in the release. "We as a union will never forget the brothers that we lost and we ask the community to join us in remembering them."
"The iconic span of the skyway is a constant reminder of the marvels of our accomplishments, but it is also a constant reminder that our community lost four of its own in the process," Collins said in the release. "I urge all residents of Toledo and the surrounding area to join us in a moment of silence at 2:22 pm to honor these men."

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Although backpacks are most often used to haul school supplies, a good-quality pack can be pressed into service as anything from a diaper bag to a daypack for hiking or travel. But with so many choices, how do you choose the best backpack for your needs? Experts say you should keep the following factors when shopping for a backpack:
Price isn't always the best indicator of quality. Our Best Reviewed models range from $20 to $100, with some highly durable, lifetime warranty bags coming in at about $50. That said, an expensive backpack will have more features: internal organizers, reflective detailing for better visibility, extra padding and sometimes a built-in laptop sleeve. All those extras add weight to the pack, so consider whether you really need a lot of pockets and zippered pouches.
Capacity is key. When choosing a child's pack, first look for one that's big enough to hold everything he needs for school, then work backward from there. It should fit him comfortably now but still leave room to grow. Weight also matters; experts recommend that children carry no more than 10 to 20 percent of their bodyweight in a backpack.
What do you want to use the backpack for? The best packs will serve you well in everything from bike commuting to traveling and hiking. We have separate reports on purpose-built hiking packs and laptop bags, but many of the bags in this report can do double duty.
If you have orthopedic problems or frequently haul a heavy load, you might prefer a wheeled backpack. Most have tuck-away straps so you can wear the pack on your back while navigating crowded areas; smooth-rolling wheels and telescoping handles let you pull the pack behind you when terrain and crowds allow. Some are specially sized for children.
ConsumerSearch evaluated dozens of reviews from both experts and owners to guide you in choosing the best backpack, from preschoolers to college students to businesspeople. We take into account performance, comfort and durability to find a backpack that will be a good fit for any life stage or activity.

Specialist led transformation of Children's Hospital
Starkey D. Davis, a pediatric infectious disease specialist who oversaw the transformation of Children's Hospital from an aging downtown hospital to a nationally recognized academic institution, died Dec. 27 at a Wauwatosa hospice of heart disease. He was 81.
"He loved children. He was always interested in curing children. I think that sums it up," said his wife, Kathryn.
As head of the hospital, Davis pushed to have it moved to its current site as part of the Regional Medical Center in Wauwatosa. Under Davis, the new Children's Hospital developed one of the first pediatric HIV-AIDS programs in the country, expanded its pediatric ICU and neonatal ICU units and a variety of subspecialties. »Read Full Article

MSO Pops delivers a Gershwin treat
Style, elegance, foot-tapping rhythms and soaring melodies filled Uihlein Hall on Friday evening, thanks to a particularly fine Milwaukee Symphony Pops concert.
The orchestra, under the baton of guest conductor Jeff Tyzik, presented an evening of George Gershwin. It avoided the most often heard of Gershwin's pieces, in favor of lesser-known works, capping the evening with concert excerpts from his quintessentially American opera, "Porgy and Bess."
From the spicy "Cuban Overture" to Tyzik's arrangement of "Rialto Ripples," Gershwin's first published piece, the "Overture" from "Funny Face" and an orchestral arrangement of his string quartet "Lullaby," the performance captured Gershwin's unique musical signature. »Read Full Article
