Charlie ran and blamed it on Liam, causing a major rift in their friendship. His family was extremely poor until his mother remarried a controlling, cheating man named Jeffrey. Liam hated Jeffrey from the beginning and pushed his mother to see what a terrible man he was, but she refused to, driving Liam out of the house.
Season 1 EditLiam, a student of West Beverly Hills High School, was introduced as a nice, good-looking, valiant and confident bartender who met Naomi Clark while she was staying at a hotel. He is very troubled. The two entered into a mutually flirtatious relationship, though Naomi did not initially know of his status as a high school student. Later, however, Naomi soon saw him in one of her classes, and discovered that he'd been attempting to dodge school. She also learned that she'd accidentally tipped his parents off to this by sending him a gift. At school, Naomi offered to tutor Liam when a teacher requested a volunteer. Sensing his resentment, she later apologized for what had happened with his parents, asking if they could start over. When the two actually sat down to study, however, it became clear that he was smarter than he'd let on. During a drive in his car, Liam explained that he'd largely been dodging school because he'd became bored with it. Later that night, Naomi learned that Liam was involved in street racing.

Liam then gets on his motorcycle to stop Annie from leaving catching her right on time and proposing to her and telling her he loves her, and of course she said yes because who wouldn't he is one hot piece of ass. Annie is lucky af
Naomi ClarkEdit
When Naomi was living alone in a hotel where Liam works as a bartender they flirt with each other and both of them think that the other one is older so Naomi send him a gift and accidentally his mother find it and send Liam to school. The two of the start dating but in the season one finale Jen, Naomi's sister sleeps with him because Naomi threw a party that Jen didn't approve off. Liam sleeps with her because he thinks that Naomi told everyone at school some private stuff that Liam told Naomi after he confessed his feelings to her, Naomi thought that Liam hooked up with Annie, which was not true and the two break up.
Throughout Season 2, Liam tries to tell Naomi that he slept with Jen but he contemplates the decision because Jen is Naomi's older sister and doesn't want her to feel even more betrayed. Eventually, Liam, Ivy, Teddy, and Dixon come up with a plan to tell Naomi what happened. Naomi is upset by the betrayal but eventually forgives Liam but not Jen.
Jen ClarkEdit
In Season One, Naomi had attended the prom with him. Upon discovering that she told someone about what they talked about later, Liam was left to believe that he'd been betrayed. He then followed Jen to bed, where the two acted on their mutual spite for Naomi. Upon finding Liam half-naked, Naomi left the room after declaring their relationship over. Liam then became remorseful when Jen identified herself as Naomi's sister. Believing Annie Wilson to be the other girl, Naomi chastised her out in the open. This prompted Annie to leave the party while reporting the underage drinking to the police. Later, Naomi was comforted by Jen. The party came to an end, however, when police officers arrived on the scene.
In Season Two, Jen continued to manipulate and sponge off her sister Naomi for several months. She kept Liam from telling Naomi the truth about Prom Night by approaching his mother. Unbeknownst to Jen, Liam recorded one of her confession/threats on his cellphone as proof, but later erased it. At a horse race several of the high school students set up an elaborate Oceans 11-type stunt to ruin Jen. Naomi overheard Jen reveal everything to Liam and told Jen to get lost.
Ivy Sullivan EditIn season 2, when they first met, the two got in a fight when they have a car accident. They later reconcile at a Halloween Party and start to be friends. After a party, at Liam's basement, the two kiss and start a discreet love story,she helps him overcome his nemesis, Jen Clark. Liam eventually asks Ivy to a dance, but it soon becomes apparent that has his eyes set on fellow student Naomi Clark. Ivy then decides it is best for her and Liam to merely be friends, assisting him in his pursuit of Naomi by texting her to go and see Liam. At some point Liam told her that he and she will never be together again which ended their "relationship". They stay good friends.
Annie WilsonEdit
Liam shows interest in Annie since he met her, and in the second season they begin to grow closer. Annie was there for him, when he needed someone to talk to, and they started to share secrets. At the beginning of season 3 Liam is mad at Annie for not returning his calls the whole summer, and Annie appoligizes. Later they kiss but Annie tells him that they can't happen, because of his past with her best friend Naomi.
Liam then asks Naomi if it would be OK if they started dating, and she tells him that it's OK. But Annie rejects him again, when he gets her into trouble. Liam then tries to show Annie that he has changed, and even moves into the Wilsons to be closer to her. Liam then discovers that she is dating Charlie, Liam's halfbrother. He then uses a girl to make Annie jealous and gets beaten up, which leaves Annie realizing that she wants to be with Liam. Everything seems OK until graduation, where Liam tells Annie that he doesn't want to go to college, which leaves Annie feeling betrayed; they break up. Annie then goes to Liam before he leaves and tells him that she will wait for him to come back and the kiss goodbye.
In the fourth season Liam is back and proposes to Annie twice, but she rejects him both times, partly because she isn't ready to get married. Liam then get into a relationship with Jane, a woman he met in Alaska. When they're relationship ends, Liam and Annie almost reconcile during the holidays but he then rejected her so he could be with Vanessa
In Season 5, Annie told Liam she still loved him but he was too drunk to respond. It was then obvious he didn't feel the same way because in the next episode, he started seeing a married woman named Sydney. When Liam found out Annie was Author X, he accused her of using him and he told her he didn't need to know how the book ended but he then took back Sydney, a woman who actually used him. Liam decided he would move to Australia to start a new life with Sydney. To fund his move to Australia, he asked Annie to buy the bar. When the explosion happened, Annie hoped this would make Liam realize he loved her but all he said to her was, "The good thing about cancellations is you can always reschedule." Sydney then told Liam to read the end of Annie's book. He read the book and realized how she felt about him, and he also realized how he felt about her. She eventually accepts his proposal. The others then learn of the news on their phones.
Jane Mcdohpy Edit
She is portrayed by Kristina Apgar. She was the wife of his fishing partner Jim, and Jim ended up dying, and Liam ended up falling in love with Jim's wife. She came to Beverly Hills to be with Liam. She found out she was pregnant with her seemingly dead husband, Jim. When she found out Jim was alive, she left Liam to be with him.
VanessaEditVanessa is the girl who hit Liam in episode "Acquaintance Be Forgot?". After realizing something was going on with Annie, he gets worried and starts to look for her. While Liam is searching, a driver does not notice him, which results in Liam laying unconscious on the street. Vanessa, the driver, runs out to see if Liam is okay. She dials 911 and reports a hit and run, keeping the fact that it was herself who needed to be reported and instead keeps it a secret. Annie soon finds out that Liam was in an accident, and contemplates on whether she should come back, but makes the decision not to. When Annie does return, she goes straight to the hospital but finds Vanessa. Liam explains how Vanessa was the one who reported the hit and run and has been by his side everyday since the accident. Liam says to Annie, "When I found out that you were in trouble, I dropped everything and went looking for you. When you found out that I was in trouble, you went shopping for paperweights." Annie offers to Take Liam home, but Liam tells her that he has a ride and that Vanessa is going to drive him. Liam says goodbye to Annie and he and Vanessa leave. Vanessa soon becomes Liam's girlfriend, and they do everything together such as skydiving and going on road trips. However, she soon became obsessed with his career, causing him to break up with her. It was then revealed that she had blackmailed a director to give him a lead in a film. When she leaves, he comes back and discovers that she has taken all of his money. Later in the season, she comes back. In season 5, she blackmails Liam into giving her another chance. When she accidentally falls off a balcony and gets washed away by the sea, Liam does not phone the police nor get any kind of help.
In "Blood is Thicker Than Mud" Silver goes to the doctors office for a regular physical and her doctors discusses with her, about her past family's medical history. She says that because her mother and grandmother both passed because of breast cancer, that she should get tested for the cancer gene. Silver is shaken isn't taking the thought of having cancer well. She confides to Liam about her situation and eventually asks him to come with her to the testing.Ink "Blue Ivy" Vanessa begins to suspect there's something going on between them and she continues to blackmail, and lie her way into Liam's heart. Liam eventually finds out about Vanessa's mischievous ways and breaks up with her and demands that Vanessa leaves by the time he comes back. Silver gets her results sent by mail to her, and she finds out she has the cancer gene. Silver goes over to Liam's place to tell him. Liam tells her that he broke up with Vanessa and that she took all the money in the register. Liam realizes that Silver has a paper in her hand which is the note from the doctor saying Silver has the cancer gene, and the two embrace. Liam and Silver end up having sex the same night.

|Woman With 7 Aliases Charged in Boone Thefts
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 26 September 2012 08:59
A woman who fled the Boone Mall area with goods stolen from several stores was apprehended by Boone Police. Late Tuesday afternoon, Boone Police were called to TJ Maxx after a woman fled with goods after stuffing them in a bag then fleeing from the store. With a vehicle description,
the car was stopped on US 421 at Linville Creek Road, with two women and a man inside. The woman then admitted to police the theft of goods from the Mall, and a search of the car turned up stolen goods not only from TJ Maxx, but from Belk and JC Penney. The woman gave a name to police as she was being charged, but that turned out to be one of several aliases she is alleged to have used, and her real identification came back to Tammy Lynn Hodge of Vilas. Her real ID turned up seven outstanding warrants from around the area, and the 39-year old Vilas woman was jailed on those and the new larceny counts from the Boone Mall thefts.

The filmmaking team of Lana and Andy Wachowski is best known for writing and directing The Matrix trilogy. The visual and verbal ideas in those films have become part of a zeitgeist, had a lasting effect on cinematography, and, not incidentally, brought in upwards of $1.5 billion at the box office.
The Wachowskis cannot be faulted for resting on their laurels. Their subsequent project is the colossally ambitious Cloud Atlas, which is based on David Mitchell's complex, best-selling 2004 novel.
Mitchell, called a modern-day James Joyce, has been quoted as saying, "As I was writing … I thought, 'It's a shame this is unfilmable.'" The tale is comprised of no fewer than six separate, intertwining storylines that take place in different time periods ranging from the 1800s to the distant, post-apocalyptic future. There are action-adventure, romantic, sci-fi and comedic elements. Some characters seem to reincarnate later. Sometimes actors play multiple characters of different genders or different races. The cast includes Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, Hugo Weaving and Doona Bae.
To help tackle the sprawling project, the Wachowskis enlisted director Tom Tykwer (Run, Lola, Run; Perfume: The Story of a Murderer). Cinematography duties were divided between two co-equal "first units," one with longtime Tykwer collaborator Frank Griebe behind the camera and the other with Oscar-winner John Toll, ASC (The Thin Red Line, Braveheart, Legends of the Fall). Toll's task was to help the Wachowskis film the first, fifth and sixth storylines, while Griebe and Tykwer simultaneously undertook the remaining threads.
Prior to Toll joining the project, Griebe performed extensive tests, in part to determine the right format and lens combination. Eventually the filmmakers settled on the Super 35 film format with Master Prime lenses. Most of the scenes were filmed in 3-perf mode, but plate shots and others bound for compositing were often done in 4-perf to allow repositioning in post without sacrificing resolution.
"Because some male actors play females, and vice versa, and for certain other story reasons, we have extensive makeup and prosthetics in the film," says Griebe. "We tested a lot of different lenses, and we always looked at film side-by-side with footage from the latest digital cameras. Things just looked better on film. With digital, you see everything. You see all the details in the face. It feels synthetic. There's no life in the picture. Film also has grain. We did a lot of research on adding grain to digital images, and it looks good, but it's just not the same as real film grain."
Griebe says that while digital is right for certain projects, he would always prefer to shoot film. "There is always change in the movie business," he says. "But film looks more organic. The decision should be about how it looks, and about the circumstances under which we will be shooting. I admire films like The Master, shot on 65mm and The Dark Knight Rises, shot on IMAX. That makes a statement."
Toll joined the Cloud Atlas production after the decision to shoot film had been made, but he was in agreement with that choice. "I was happy to hear that Frank had done tests and we were shooting on film," he says. "In addition to the aesthetic and makeup issues, the logistics of the schedule were very demanding. Our unit started on location in Mallorca and we shot on board ships and in fairly rugged, mountainous terrain there, as well as in remote forest locations in southern Germany. Shooting in those environments, I was much more comfortable with the flexibility of film cameras, and the reliability of film emulsion technology. Knowing that I could just pick up a film camera, put it anywhere, and expose with certainty the way we've always done was important to me."
One theme of the movie is the connectivity and common challenges of humankind through history. Considering that there were three directors and two cinematographers, along with six different eras spanning five centuries, there were concerns about how to make the film hang together as a whole.
Toll notes the unique level of collaboration on the project. The Wachowskis and Tykwer developed the project, wrote the script, oversaw the production design, and directed the film as a very close, unified team.
"We almost had to think of Lana, Andy, and Tom as one person," says Toll. "This approach extended to all aspects of the production. During prep, we talked extensively about how to somehow visually connect the stories in a way that wasn't heavy-handed. To emphasize the commonality and the inter-connection between individual characters, we never seemed to land on one specific idea that worked for the overall project. The film takes place over 500 years in completely different environments. The production design and art direction, while being extremely impressive, was primarily unique and specific to those periods. Frank and I were using the same film emulsions, shooting with the same type of lenses, and had a similar approach – a kind of a rich, dramatic, natural style. We were able to see each other's dailies and keep track of how the stories were being realized, but at one point, I just accepted the idea that if we just made each segment of the film look as visually impressive as possible, things would work out."
The primary film stocks were KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219, and KODAK VISION3 200T Color Negative Film 5213. For helicopter and other daylight plate work that required maximum resolution, Toll used KODAK VISION3 50D Color Negative Film 5203.
"I found the use of a variety of film emulsions to be essential for flexibility for different times of day," says Toll. "5213 was wonderful in high-contrast, midday situations, but I would switch to 5219 for late-in-the-day, lower light scenes. I also like to play with the blue layer, pull an 85 and expose but not correct out the blue. I prefer to do that as opposed to trying to time it in. The 50D material was also a great asset for plates and wide vistas for the extensive VFX work."
For scenes that unfold in the energy industry in 1970s San Francisco, Calif., Griebe established the period in part with fluorescent and neon lighting. He signaled contemporary time by mixing color temperatures. For the 1930s settings, he tried to stay with tungsten sources.
Scenes for the fifth segment, which portrays a highly technical, futuristic world, required many visual effects shots. Corporations have completely taken over the world, and look-alike clones work as their employees. Contrast this with the first segment, which is set in the 1840s and follows a young lawyer who travels from the South Seas to San Francisco in a four-masted schooner.
Post-production and color timing was handled at ARRI's lab in Berlin. Griebe supervised the grade over the course of three weeks with his colorist, Traudl Nicholson, and the directors joined in during a fourth week.
Toll was working in North Carolina on Iron Man 3 during this period, but was able to see a final cut of the film in a screening room there and send timing notes to Griebe and Nicholson. "I asked my camera crew to join me in the screening," he says. "I had told them nothing about the film and asked them to give me an honest reaction to it and the fairly unfamiliar type of film structure. I saw this as my own private little focus group, and they really enjoyed it. After the screening I even gave them a short quiz just to be sure they weren't telling the boss what he wanted to hear. It was fantastic really."
Audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival agreed, giving the film a 10-minute standing ovation at its world premiere.
Toll points out that the film was financed independently, and that the Wachowskis sought Mitchell's approval of the script and the restructuring of the story before making the final decision to go ahead.
"There seemed to be nothing commercial about their commitment to this story," says Toll. "Getting it going was a monumental effort made possible only by their level of commitment and passion. I think this is the same reason many of us have become filmmakers. When I received the offer to join them in making this different and unusual type of film, I said 'Why not, let's go make a movie!'"

I seriously have stared at this comment for about two full minutes and I still cannot understand what he's trying to say.
You know the sonic series of games by SEGA, right? Basically in like 2002 they made a black sonic who was all angsty and dark and edgy and yadda yadda yadda, and in the games he starred in one of the things you could do is use soap shoes to skate around on railings and things. It was, as my 10 year old mind recalled it, pretty fucking sweet.
EDIT: the real question here is what he could possibly mean by "the better games", as sonic games started to be terrible right around the time Shadow The Hedgehog became a character. Does he mean Sonic Adventure 2 ? that is literally the only game that is both non-terrible and has Shadow as a character.

HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — The Bank of Japan on Tuesday announced a major change in its policy stance, adopting a target to achieve a 2% increase in consumer prices and saying it will now conduct asset purchases on an "open-ended" basis to boost its monetary stimulus.
Both decisions had been widely flagged and followed intense pressure from the recently elected administration of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for the central bank to act more aggressively to spur growth and end an era of falling prices.
Felix Zulauf's yen for Japan
The hedge-fund manager explains why he expects Japanese stocks to climb — and why investors need to tread carefully to avoid getting tripped up by currency devaluation.
At the conclusion of its two-day policy meeting Tuesday, the central bank said its "price- stability target" of a 2% year-on-year increase in consumer prices will replace its previous "goal" of a 1% increase in inflation.
"Under the price-stability target ... the bank will pursue monetary easing and aim to achieve this target at the earliest possible time," the central bank said in a statement.
The central bank's adoption of an explicit inflation target is a major policy change in the world's third-largest economy, which has experienced lingering deflation for much of the past two decades.
In November, Japan's core consumer prices, a measure that excludes fresh food, fell 0.1% from the year-ago month. The Bank of Japan had set itself a goal of achieving a 1% increase in prices. Read more about November inflation and other indicators.
Policy panel's votes
Seven of the nine members on the bank's rate-setting board voted in favor of the 2% price stability target at the latest meeting, while the decision on open-ended asset purchases was unanimous.
"Taking into consideration that it will take considerable time before the effects of monetary policy permeate the economy, the bank will ascertain whether there is any significant risk to the sustainability of economic growth, including from the accumulation of financial imbalances," the central bank said in a statement.
The central bank said it will pursue "aggressive monetary easing" aimed at achieving its 2% price stability target "through a virtually zero interest-rate policy and purchases of financial assets" for as long as the bank deems appropriate.
The open-ended asset purchase program would take effect from January 2014, once the current program ends, the central bank said.
Meeting expectations
The Bank of Japan had said after a policy meeting last month that it would increase the size of its asset purchases to 101 trillion yen ($1.14 trillion) by the end of this year, from about ¥65 trillion at the end of 2012. The central bank didn't announce any additional monetary stimulus for 2013 on Tuesday.
"The Bank of Japan's policy overhaul met the markets' expectations and also managed to get the magic words 'open-ended easing' into the headlines. However, there is little 'bold' here," Julian Jessop, chief global economist at Capital Economics, wrote in a note to clients.

Kerry Washington's impeccable taste is reflected in her choice of TV and film roles (Scandal, Ray, The Last King of Scotland), her red-carpet hits (in Prada, above), and her constantly changing, always flawless beauty looks--the girl can pull off a prom-ready updo and bright lip as easily as a loose wave and bronzed complexion. She popped up at Django Unchained's Berlin premiere with a bold lip and even bolder bangs, so we asked her beauty team to spill their secrets.Skin
Makeup artist Carola Gonzalez started by smoothing Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Foundation ($59) in #9 on Washington's skin. Then she applied Cle De Peau's Concealer ($70) in Honey under the actress' eyes. She skipped blush and powder, opting for bronzer instead. "Dior's DiorSkin Nude Natural Radiance Bronzing Powder ($52) in Mocha #007 is a great shade for darker complexions," Gonzalez says. "It accentuates her cheekbones without taking away from her eyes and lips."
Next Gonzalez used Dior's Iridescent Eyeshadow Palette ($60) in Earth Reflection with Trish McEvoy's Medium Laydown Brush #40 ($42) to create depth on Washington's eyes, applying the darkest shade onto her eyelid and crease. "Blend shadow in a downward motion, which will open up the eyes and make them look bigger," Gonzalez says. She lined Washington's bottom lashes with the same shade, switching to Face Stockholm's Sable Fluff Brush #11S ($24). "Having the right brushes is imperative," Gonzalez says. Urban Decay's 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil ($19) in Underground came next, applied along the entire lash line before Gonzalez reached for her favorite mascara, Covergirl's LashBlast Mascara ($9) in Very Black. "By applying four or five coats you won't need false lashes," she says. Her trick to layering mascara? "Use an eyebrow brush to separate wet lashes between coats."
Red lipstick always stands out against a white dress, and Gonzalez decided on a deeper red shade since it's winter. She smoothed Nars' Pure Matte Lipstick ($25) in Terre De Feu on the actress' lips, blotted, and added another coat.
"Since the dress and makeup were clean and sleek I wanted to make her hair sexy and voluminous," says hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew. She dried Washington's tresses with a dryer on medium heat and used Sultra's Curl, Wave and Straight Iron ($210) to smooth her dry locks without actually straightening them. As for the bangs, "I razor cut them to leave the ends undone, flat-ironed them with height at the root, and left the ends straight," Sturdivant-Drew says. She finished with Schwarzkopf's Supersoft Fixing Hairspray ($3). Obviously Washington isn't the only one with great taste.

Both Miyazaki and Shibuya sat down for an interview with Japan's Weekly Famitsu to talk about Dark Souls 2. Miyazaki explained that his removal as director was a company decision, and while he did feel some sadness at the decision, he had no problems with it. As supervisor on the project, he would serve 2 functions, "First, and this is pretty much done, I'll be deciding the overall direction for Dark Souls 2." explained Miyazaki. "I'll also be informing the new team of what core mechanics should remain as a sequel to Dark Souls, as well as any problem points [in Dark Souls] that should be addressed."
As the new director for an already established popular series, Shibuya remarked that he is definitely feeling a lot of pressure. However, he has been given a lot of free space with which to develop the new game. "Dark Souls is a game with a lot of thought in the vision of its overall world, so it can be difficult at times to understand what Miyazaki is thinking—but since he's available for me to ask questions, we can put our interpretations together to help move forward." remarked Shibuya. "Miyazaki has a great deal of knowledge about fantasy, so it's quite a learning experience."
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are notoriously unforgiving games with a rich dark atmosphere and overbearing sense of loneliness and foreboding. Addressing the concerns of fans that Dark Souls 2 might lose some of the things that made the previous games so appealing, Miyazaki assured that Dark Souls 2 would remain true to the series. "It's been announced as a sequel to Dark Souls, so there is definitely a core element that must be preserved." Miyazaki said. "The difficulty and sense of achievement, the action base, level design concept and so forth. But I feel that also means that aside from such core elements, the rest can be left to the director's discretion."
Looks like I'm still going to be getting my ass handed to me...
Dark Souls 2 currently has no release date.

O-legal activity: When is Oregon's 'O' a no-no?
EUGENE, Ore. - When does O-fficial school spirit cross the line from O-k into O-legal activity?
A former Pac-12 official sparked controversy among Oregon fans with comments to Fox Sports.
"Pac-12 says players are allowed to salute God and the country," said Mike Pereira, the former interim coordinator of officiating for the Pac-12 who works as an officiating analyst for Fox Sports, "and the 'O' is saluting neither and, therefore, violates the rule."
Some Duck fans might disagree.
"It's not a college, it's a culture," rapper Xile offers in "O Time."
Peirera, still a consultant to the Pac-12 on officiating matters, has since Tweeted and posted a story that he now thinks his initial assessment was wrong - and apologized to Oregon fans.
"I told them it is OK for Oregon players to quickly flash the 'O' sign to celebrate a good play." he wrote. "But it must not be prolonged and cannot be directed at an opponent."
This isn't the first time Oregon and its fans have navigated allegations of O-legal activity.
The University installed an O on the side of Autzen that exceeded the size legally allowed in Eugene. The image at right shows the O as installed - and the O that would have complied with city code.
The City of Eugene let it slide - until a complaint from a member of the public brought the violation to the community's attention.
The complaint was later dropped, and the big O remained.
The first video for "I Love My Ducks" by Supwithchugirl featured the Oregon Duck mascot, leading to a suspension for the person inside the suit. The song has since become one of a number of popular fan anthems, and Oregon now controls when and where the Duck mascot can appear under an agreement with Disney that officially severed the character from his distant cousin, Donald.
And fans seem committed to the O symbol, celebrated in Duck-Hop hurrays like "O Time" and "Put Your Os Up" by Xile and Chris Ray and O-Official by LeLe and J. Philly.

Morningstar is an independent service that rates mutual funds and variable annuities.
For each fund/account with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's/account's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. Where applicable, Morningstar's performance rankings are based on linked performance that considers the differences in expense ratios, while actual performance data shown does not reflect such differences.
The top 10 percent of funds/accounts in a category receive five stars, the next 22.5 percent receive four stars, and the next 35 percent receive three stars, the next 22.5 percent receive two stars and the bottom 10 percent receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund/account within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Morningstar proprietary ratings on U.S.-domiciled funds/accounts reflect historical risk-adjusted performance, are subject to change every month. They are derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

As far as doubleheader sweeps go, this one was pretty satisfying.
Two shutouts and a barrage of game two hits paced the Lady Bisons to victory over archrival Belmont in the two side's final meetings as Atlantic Sun foes, Saturday. The sweep also pushed Lipscomb (27-13, 5-5 A-Sun) back to .500 in the Atlantic Sun and back into the conference race.
The first game, as has happened often in 2012, was a pitcher's duel. Neither side pushed across a run until the seventh inning, with Lipscomb senior Whitney Kiihnl limiting Belmont (8-29, 3-7 A-Sun) to one hit total in the game, a Hannah Irwin single to lead off the fourth inning.
Kiihnl did her best to help out at the plate as well, collecting two of Lipscomb's five hits in the first game.
The Lady Bisons pushed across the game's lone run in the seventh thanks to timely hitting and luck. Freshman Gracey Aguirre blooped a double down the right field line, then came around to score after a Kristen Sturdivant liner to left field was dropped.
Kiihnl had one of her best performances of the 2012 campaign, throwing a one-hit shutout and striking out a season-high tying 11 batters on the way to her 19th victory.
"We'd developed a bit of a mental block, so it was good to get the win," said Lipscomb head coach Kristin Ryman. "We're much better when we play loose."
Game Two – Lipscomb 9, Belmont 0 (Five Innings)
Playing loose was no problem in the second game. Lipscomb pounded out a dozen hits and run-ruled Belmont to complete the sweep of the Bruins.
Lipscomb got on the board in the second inning. After senior Mollie Mitchell drew a lead-off walk, senior Caroline Mason reached on a throwing error after laying down a sacrifice bunt.
After an Elliott ground out, Mitchell scored and Mason moved to third on a passed ball. A single by Aguirre brought in Mason and gave Lipscomb a 2-0 lead.
The Lady Bisons poured in five runs in the third, helped by a Mitchell two-run homer that scored sophomore Rena' Cothron. Aguirre, Sturdivant and sophomore Bridgette Begle each had run-scoring singles in the fifth inning to balloon the lead to seven runs.
Sturdivant would add her season's fifth home run in the fifth inning, a two-run opposite-field shot that just cleared the right-field wall and scored Aguirre.
Aguirre, the freshman from Houston, Texas, has been tearing the cover off the ball of late. She's hitting .444 in her last 10 games with five doubles, a home run and nine runs batted in.
That would be enough for Anderson to earn the run-rule shutout. She scattered five hits and no runs in five innings while not allowing a walk.
"I thought Ashley had a lot of good movement on her pitches today," Ryman said. "They really didn't get many solid hits off her."
The Lady Bisons will be on the road next weekend, squaring off against Atlantic Sun foes Kennesaw State (April 20) and Mercer (April 21).

Submission MS Research Invent "Almost" Still Photos->
mikejuk writes: Microsoft Research has just invented "almost" still photography and you can try it out for yourself with a free to download app that converts video clips into photos with just a hint of movement. You simply drop your video clip onto the app and mark out the areas that you want to move or stay still. The result is sometimes slightly spooky and sometimes amusing. Could this be a future art form?
