Sept. 19, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Crusader defense forced four turnovers, but it was not enough as the Holy Cross football was defeated by Harvard 25-24 at Harvard Stadium. The Crusaders led by 12 points in the fourth quarter, before the Crimson rallied to score 13 unanswered points down the stretch. Holy Cross falls to 0-2 on the year with the loss, while the Crimson open the season at 1-0.
The Crimson took a 3-0 lead at the 7:39-mark of the first quarter on a 29-yard field goal by Patrick Long. The Crusaders came right back to go in front 7-3 just over three minutes later, when senior quarterback Dominic Randolph (Amelia, Ohio) threw a nine-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Jon Brock (Acworth, Ga.). Harvard was then able to cut the Holy Cross lead to 7-6 before the end of the first quarter, on another 29-yard Long field goal.
Early in the second quarter, senior placekicker Matt Partain (Libertyville, Ill.) hit a 24-yard field goal to increase the lead to 10-6. On the Crimson's next possession, junior cornerback Michael Wright (Fort Washington, Md.) intercepted a pass which he returned to the Harvard 18-yard line, putting the Crusaders back into position to score. Seven plays later, senior tailback Terrance Gass (Sicklerville, N.J.) had a one-yard touchdown run to make the score 17-6 at halftime.
Harvard moved the ball deep into Holy Cross territory early in the third quarter, before junior linebacker Andrew Cialino (Medford, N.J.) intercepted a pass at the one-yard line to end the drive. Senior strong safety Daryl Brown (Stone Mountain, Ga.) would add the Crusaders' third interception of the night later in the third quarter. But Holy Cross was unable to convert on the turnovers, and then early in the fourth quarter Harvard's Chris Pizzotti threw a 68-yard touchdown pass to Marco Iannuzzi to make the score 17-12.
The Crusader special teams would force the fourth turnover of the day later in the fourth quarter, when senior defensive back Ty Shaw (Aurora, Colo.) recovered a fumble on a punt return at the Crimson 26-yard line. That play set up a one-yard scoring run by Randolph, giving Holy Cross a 24-12 advantage. But Harvard refused to go away, and Pizzotti scored on a pair of one-yard touchdown runs to give the Crimson the lead, 25-24 with 1:42 left to play.
Randolph completed 27 out of 52 passes for 239 yards on the night, while senior wide receiver Brett McDermott (Mansfield, Mass.) caught a team-best six passes for 61 yards. Pizzotti hit on 30 of 44 passes for 370 yards to lead the Crimson, while Iannuzzi added 11 catches for 174 yards.
Partain made all three of his extra point attempts in the game, breaking the school record with 59 consecutive extra points made.
Holy Cross returns to action on Saturday, Sept. 27, when it travels to Georgetown for a 1:00 p.m. game.

FRESNO, Calif. – For the first time since 2004, the University of New Mexico women's tennis team will compete in the final match of Mountain West Championships. The Lobos (17-7) defeated the San Diego State Aztecs 4-2 on Saturday evening to advance in the conference tournament.
"Another incredible team effort by this young Lobo team," interim head coach Kelcy McKenna said. "Each of these girls played with phenomenal heart all day long. We fought through a tough doubles point and competed well from top to bottom during this match. I am incredibly proud of these ladies!"
On Sunday morning, the Lobos will compete for their first ever MW Championship title and the opportunity is well deserved. UNM defeated Nevada and SDSU in the same day to earn a spot in the championship match. The Lobos battled the Wolf Pack on Saturday morning and then wrapped up the day with a victory over the Aztecs.
UNM kicked off the semifinal match by winning the doubles point in a tight battle. SDSU recorded an early 8-3 win in the No. 2 spot, but the Lobos held on in the No. 1 and No. 3 positions to eventually earn the point. Freshmen duo Rachana Bhat and Susan Baklini defeated SDSU's Isabelle Hoorn and Tami Nguyen in a tiebreaker at seven-all. All-MW Honorees Michaela Bezdickova and Lizetter Blankers finished the job with a victory in the No. 1 spot.
Natasha Smith and Dominique Dulski fell in doubles, but were the first two wins in singles play. Their quick victories put the score at 3-0.
Meredith Hopson and Blankers fell to their Aztec opponents allowing SDSU to remain in the match.
Bhat powered past Hoorn in the No. 6 position to clinch the match and continue her perfect singles record. She is now 15-0 in singles play.
The second-seeded Lobos will face the No. 1 seed of the tournament, the Fresno State Bulldogs on Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. PT. The winner of Sunday's match will claim the conference title and an automatic bid into the 2014 NCAA Women's Tennis Championships.

YOUTH RESOURCES: Teenagers and depression: Sufferers may need a listening, referral for help
To children or teenagers suffering from depression, the feeling that nothing in their world is right is a common thought.
Depression often is thought to be a mental health illness affecting only adults. But according to the World Health Organization, major depressive disorder is the leading cause of disability among Americans age 15 to 44.
Depression can occur in children of all ages as well. Typically, childhood depression occurs most often during the adolescent years.
Risk factors for depression in young people include having a family history of depression, negative childhood experiences and early exposure to stress, neglect, abuse and loss of a loved one.
Children who have attention, learning, conduct or anxiety disorders also are at a higher risk for depression.
Depression is an illness that is easily overlooked. It should be treated just as any other illness. Adolescents who have depression are at significantly higher risk for substance abuse, recurring depression and other emotional and mental health problems into adulthood.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, youths who have depression may show signs that are slightly different from the typical adult symptoms of depression. Children who are depressed may complain of feeling sick, refuse to go to school or cling to a parent or caregiver. Older children and teens may sulk, get into trouble at school, be negative or grouchy or feel misunderstood.
Some other common indicators include frequent sadness, tearfulness, crying, inability to enjoy previously favorite activities, hopelessness, low energy and social isolation.
The good news is that depression is a treatable illness. Parents should seek professional diagnosis when their children's feelings of depression persist and interfere with the child's ability to function.
A family physician often is the best resource to refer them to a qualified mental health professional who can diagnose and treat depression in children and teenagers.
Teenagers often are the first to notice signs of depression within their close friends. The following tips are beneficial to get help for a friend:
Get your friend to talk to you. Acknowledge that your friend seems bummed and ask him if he wants to talk. A listening ear always shows care and concern. By listening and responding in a nonjudgmental and reassuring manner, you are helping in a major way.
Encourage your friend to get help. Have him talk to a parent, counselor or other caring adult. Offer to go along and give him support to seek help.
Stand by your friend's side. Depression can take a toll on relationships, but remember that once treated, your friend will go back to being the person you know and love.
Speak up if your friend is suicidal. If your friend is either joking or serious about suicide, tell a trusted adult immediately. You could save his life.
Many teenagers suffering from depression wonder if the pain will ever end. Do not be afraid to seek help for a teenager showing signs and symptoms of depression.
It is a real illness that can be cured, giving hope to those who feel that, in their world, everything is wrong and nothing is right.

I got taken in by this 'bugger' also.
I wanted to read a Google Book off line and downloaded a Good Book reader and it changed my home page to 'arccosine.com' which gave me a 'Google Search' screen 'look-a-like' I changed my homepage back to Google search and then discovered my wireless internet connection had been changed from 'public' to 'home' creating an unsecured internet connection. I switched it back to 'public' and went looking into my 'Services' to see if anything 'popped' out at me as unusual. I don't know enough about how computers work but am trying to learn.
I downloaded an application called 'GooReader' and think this may be where the 'infection' came from as it offered several services I have never even heard of before and I did not opt into any of them. By the time I was finished with the screens they presented offering all of these unwanted services I began to notice 'changes' made to my computer. The name of signer on this 'GooReader' is "Solimba Aplcaciones SL" The time stamp is Wednesday March 12, 2012. I have searched for this in my registry – no show. I have searched for this in my installed programs – no show. When I clicked on the application again it let me know it was already installed and asked if I want it to reinstall. I closed the dialog box and decided this is 'bad news'. Can someone guide me through the process of figuring this out? I ran McAfree and it showed all clear.
Two individual 'Diagnostic System Host' (WdiSystemHost) are listed in 'Services' – One has me locked completely out and one I can modify.
I downloaded the 'SvchostAnalyzer' from A&M Neuber Software and it gave two warning instances as follows:
Process: svchost.exe
File Access is denied, Run program as Administrator!
Group: No Microsoft file
Services: 0
The second instance which showed up later appearing along with this one:
Process: svchost.exe
File Access is denied, Run program as Administrator!
Group: No Microsoft file
Services: 0
How can I investigate if someone has 'remote' use of my computer? What are the steps I need to follow to track this down? Or what should I be looking for?
DcomLaunch has me frozen out.
I don't know enough about this subject to be of much good at tracking down what damage may have been done and what was 'snagged' from my computer and perhaps 'sent' to some unknown person. Just very creepy and it takes a real CREEP to do this to people. Time for me to learn what these JERKS are doing to us and how to intervene for our protection.

""An enigmatic talent who remains a tantalizing mystery"Pat Deighan & The Orb Weavers are a four piece rock band from Charlottetown PEI. The band is made up of Pat Deighan, guitar, vocals; Shayne Coady on drums, vocals; Dan Wagner, bass, vocals and John Mullins, guitar. They are a band with a strong musical vision that can be heard on their most recent album, In A Fever, In A Dream and the quirky Night Light where Pat shows off the beginnings of the Orb Weavers sound. In A Fever In A Dream is best described as a collection of tunes that rock. As the principal songwriter, Pat has a natural gift for writing songs in various styles with special attention to melody and great hooks.The new album contains 11 tracks. "The lead off track, Anna Marie is about someone who is lost", explains Pat. "It has a beautiful back up vocal from Catherine MacLellan", he adds. Another standout track is Marigold, which originally showed up on Eyes for Telescopes very first album Please Survive from 2001. "That song just begged to be redone", declared Pat while discussing the tracks on the album. Other highlights include Los Diablos and Here Too Long as well as Goodnight Charlie which was inspired by some lines from Charlottetown poet John MacKenzie. Pat adds, "At the end of the day, the listener will make the ultimate decision about whether this album is good or not." Their first album Night Light was released in November 2004."Night Light is a simple pleasure superbly executed by a musician with a natural gift for songwriting and a laid back approach to the playing of his songs.""Deighan's hooky guitars and vulnerability burrow their way into your soul."

Skin care professionals use many tools to analyze clients' skin. The most common is the Fitzpatrick scale. Developed in 1975 by Harvard dermatologist Thomas Fitzpatrick, MD, the Fitzpatrick scale was created to classify a client's reaction to the sun based on skin color, featuring a range of types from I–VI, with I being the lightest and VI being the darkest. (See Fitzpatrick Scale and Correlating Sensitivity.) The original Fitzpatrick scale stated that Fitzpatrick type VI never burned; however, it is now known that this is not the case and, regardless of color, everyone will burn at some point. Another tool is the Global Heritage Model, which differs from the Fitzpatrick scale in that it classifies how clients' skin will respond to topical activity and UV exposure based on their hereditary background, and not simply the color of their skin.
Because numerous people are of mixed hereditary backgrounds and many color their hair, wear colored contacts and may tan, either via topical products or UV exposure, it is increasingly difficult to determine a client's heritage based solely on appearance. This is where the Global Heritage Model comes in. (See Global Heritage Model.) This tool helps determine the skin's response to topical stimuli based upon inherited melanocyte activity. Once you are able to determine how each client's melanocytes are likely to react, you will be better able to choose the best treatments and ingredients to suit each and every client.
Environmental protection
Skin is designed to protect from a variety of daily environmental insults. One is DNA damage within the nuclei of the keratinocytes due to UV exposure—the end result of which is likely skin cancer. With that in mind, if you look at the environment of the polar regions of the world, it is cold and dry with very little UV exposure. Because of this, clients whose ancestors come from these regions tend to have lighter skin, hair and eyes. This has to do with both the density of the melanin produced by the melanocytes, as well as how quickly those melanocytes respond to external stimuli. Because UV exposure is less intense in these regions, the inherited melanocyte response is often slow for these individuals, meaning they are less prone to produce pigment within the skin. It is because of their less-responsive melanocytes that clients of polar-region ancestry are able to tolerate more active topical treatments—they are less likely to produce pigment due to surface stimulation. As a result, they are not as likely to develop post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from treatments, but are more prone to developing skin cancer.

Shaunie O'Neal Says Basketball Wives LA Cast Sprinkled With 'Trash'
It's no secret that the reality television hit series Basketball Wives franchise has come under much criticism from the public and media outlets, but usually executive producer, Shaunie O'Neal, usually is there to stand up and defend the show's appeal. During a recent interview with Ebony Jet, Shaunie addressed some of those concerns once again, touching on her feelings about being blamed for portraying black women in a negative light, being accepted and shunned by fans, and not being particularly happy with their choice for the show's
Los Angeles cast. Shaunie claims that though 'Basketball Wives L.A.' does follow the concept of having (former & current) wives & girlfriends of basketball players, she says "there's a little bit of trash kind of sprinkled" in the show:
On Being Accused of Portraying Black Women Negatively
"I get a lot of flack! People say to me: 'You're saying the portrayal of Black women is bad on TV, but your show is one of the number one reasons why it is.' Guess what? I agree! But you look at those credits — it's more than me executive producing it. I brought this vision to a table full of people, a table full of executives, and since then it has taken on its own new thing."
On Being Embraced By Fans
I'm starting to get how Michael Jackson might have felt back in the day," she says laughing, and only half-kidding. "I've never felt so much love, and never really knew that it was that kind of fan base. I never really imagined we would be these celebrities because of the show."
On Trying To Bring Some Balance To The Miami Show
"I'm trying to get some type of balance on. Even Basketball Wives Miami — can we show Tami and I going to Project Girls and giving a girl a semester's worth of tuition? Can we show that we actually have sat down and had good times and laughed like girlfriends? It's not always the two minutes of drama that you get after eight hours of taping and somebody getting on somebody's nerves. I get that it sells; I get that that's what people wanna see, but can we show that these ladies actually can conduct themselves in a respectable manner? That they do know how to use the English language correctly? We aren't always going off.
On Working With Shed Media & Not Being Happy With the Los Angeles Cast
"Honestly, they've distorted it a little bit. I really came in with the concept of having a group of women that come together and are associated by the game of basketball, whether it be their husbands, fiancés — there's some long-term relationship with a man in basketball and the game of basketball — and that's how we formed this sisterhood and friendship," she says. "The L.A. cast — there are some wives and fiancés, which I'm fine with. But there's a little bit of trash kind of sprinkled into that cast that I'm totally against. I was really very hands off with that cast."
"Yeah, you know they have Jackie Christie, I love her — they have a long lasting marriage and it works. There's also Malaysia Pargo, you've got Imani who was the former fiancée of Stephen Jackson — they went to the altar, you get that connection. These ladies have been around forever in the game of basketball. But then you've got people that just might've slept with somebody. I'm not OK with that," O'Neal says. "It's just drama and … that's not my vision. I don't think that all money is good money. I don't need it that bad. So we are having some issues. I've kind of just had to take a backseat and shut up and just let it go, let it ride. It's David and Goliath right now."
Is Shaunie throwing a jab at Gloria's sister Laura when she says 'you've got people that just might've slept with somebody'? She didn't really try to sugar coat that.
Shaunie also reveals that the decision making for the Los Angeles cast was determined by 12 people, and she was outruled as a producer.
