|Relevance of isotopic and molecular biomarkers for the authentication of milk according to production zone and type of feeding of the cow.
MedLine Citation:

|The first objective of the present paper was to assess the potential of both isotopic ( (18)O/ (16)O in milk water) and molecular biomarkers (terpenes, fatty acids, carotenoids, and vitamins) and milk color to discriminate the production zone (lowland or upland areas) from which 49 tanker bulk milks were collected over one year from a total of 204 farms. The milk water (18)O enrichment was higher in lowland (<500 m altitude) than in upland (>700 m altitude), but the delta (18)O values failed to discriminate systematically the production zone at the scale of the year because of its high variability related to the sampling period. In contrast with vitamins A and E, carotenoids, and milk color measurements, terpenes and fatty acids were confirmed to be relevant tracers of the production zone. The milk compounds with the strongest discriminative potential were fatty acids, which were determined by high-resolution gas chromatography. The calculation of fatty acid ratios, which permits the limitation of using fatty acid relative quantity expressed in percentage of total fatty acids to be overcome, was shown to be particularly relevant in discriminating upland from lowland milk ratios. The selection of two pairs of ratios, namely, iso-C17:0/C18:3 n-3 and iso-C15:0/iso-C14:0, enabled the authentication of 100% of the highland versus lowland milks whatever the season. The second objective was to evaluate the relevance of fatty acid composition to discriminate milks according to the proportion of corn silage in the diets of dairy cows. The selection of two fatty acids ratios, namely, trans11 cis15-C18:2/trans11-C18:1 and cis9-C16:1/iso-C16:0, enabled the correct classification of 100% of the milk samples according to the proportion of corn silage in the basic fodder rations (<25% vs >30%). The relationship between the milk production zone and the type of forage fed to the cows is discussed.

The research focuses on exciting collective oscillations of metal electrons called plasmons, and on directing light through nanometer-thin metal films, about a thousand times thinner than a human hair. The result could empower integrated circuits or facilitate a super-lens with seven times the strength of a standard microscope, opening further research into fields such as studying microorganisms and viruses.
Other applications involve bouncing light around an object by cloaking it with a metamaterial film. Instead of the object reflecting light and thus causing it to be seen, the light manipulation can make it invisible.
Plasmonics is an emerging field, but it has its limitations due to the loss of energy in the metal layers, which dissipate the plasmon energy into heat. Kaveh-Baghbadorani's research focuses on developing hybrid metal/organic nanowires that essentially work as an energy pump to compensate for metal losses in plasmonic nanostructures.
This energy pump results from exciton radiation, an electronic excitement in the semiconductor nanowires. Kaveh-Baghbadorani explains that the exciton functions somewhat like a hydrogen atom – negative and positive charges are bound together. The research is examining energy transfer from excitons in semiconductor nanowires to different metal materials used to cover the nanowires, as well as the effects of the thickness of covering organic layers in energy transfer.
The researchers want to know how the dynamics of excitons are affected by the use of different organic materials, and how lifetime and energy transferring processes of nanowire excitons are modified by changing the design of the nanowires or the thickness of organic spacer layers.
Kaveh-Baghbadorani's advisor, Hans-Peter Wagner, a UC associate professor of physics, is one of the co-researchers on the project. "To achieve our goal, the knowledge of exciton relaxation and energy-transfer processes in plasmonic semiconductor nanowire heterostructures is of crucial importance," says Wagner, whose lab has a growth facility to allow researchers to produce a variety of plasmonic structures. The lab also has special optical methods to measure exciton relaxation processes on a sub-picosecond time-scale.
Co-researchers on the project include Wagner; Qiang Gao, research fellow, and Chennupati Jagadish, professor of engineering, Australian National University, where the semiconductor nanowires are produced; and Gerd Duscher, professor of engineering, University of Tennessee.
The American Physical Society meeting is the largest meeting of its kind in the world, and focuses on research from industry, universities and major labs. The meeting brings together nearly 10,000 physicists and students to share their groundbreaking research.
The University of Cincinnati was the first institution west of the Appalachian Mountains to offer a PhD in Physics.

Kapsch Declines on Sale of Stake in Russia Venture: Vienna Mover
Kapsch TrafficCom AG posted the third-biggest decline in the Austrian ATX Prime Index today after the maker of road toll systems said it will sell its stake in a Russian joint venture.
The shares dropped as much as 2.6 percent to 42.28 euros, the lowest intraday price in two weeks. The stock was down 2.5 percent at 11:48 a.m. in Vienna, taking the total decline this year to 26 percent.
Kapsch is selling its 33 percent stake in United Toll Systems to joint-venture partner OAO Mostotrest for 6 million euros ($7.6 million), the Vienna-based company said in a statement today. Kapsch plans to focus on implementing and operating toll systems, rather than operating roads, it said.
"The foundation of the joint venture was to utilize potential synergies, that is to have a door opener to future large-scale orders," said Daniel Damaska, an analyst at Raiffeisen Centrobank who has a hold recommendation on Kapsch, said in an e-mailed note. "It has to be assumed that Kapsch TrafficCom does not see these synergies anymore, which means a return to the beginning in the Russian market."

What's being said
This lawsuit is going be a brutal one. This has all the factors to make this a real problem for the law firm. The issues of sexism, and tribalism always make for tough cases. Since the EEOC decided that the allegations were true in regards to the boys club atmosphere, the plaintiff's lawsuit is only bolstered by their findings and will help her case.

it is French porn - only dubbed into German
should blow his load in her ass so the one licking cunt can lick it out
Mdr C'est naze
Who s bitch
Wat een zalige kontjes en heerlijk sperma
Frustrated. That's what I am. I'd like to try these techniques, but my wife won't let me.
who is the blond girl?
i love italian pussy...very hot...;-)
pump her full of cum

why is my hand and chest all sticky oh yes just had an amazing wank !! wat a vid 10/10
mejor buen mbiente
At 26 minutes there is a great nail scene
@Enigma, tell your wife that you will leave her....force her....or look for a slutty lover, that's what I did :)
i m so wet when i think of it..i'll have hem ALL
love being fucked in the ass and have my cunt licked
One of the top vids I've seen... every vid should have this excitement level and well done!

Soul Deep stay true to their ethos with a blinding debut EP from Athens-born liquid funk obsessive mSdoS. First track "Visionary" takes deep rolling bass and rapidfire hi-hats and adds his own special sampling touch to create something a little unusual. "Down To Monaco" is the thrillride you hoped it would be, given its Need For Speed-esque name. Winding through bright, jazzy brass and tough Amen breaks it's a no-nonsense soul-filled ride through the Riviera. Title track "Cosmic Keys" doesn't disappoint, as sci-fi sounds whip past and lighting fast breaks are sonically positioned somewhere in the great beyond. Big bass cements it as a perfect homage to early D&B while adding an interesting spin. Finally, "Dark Matter" builds tension and unease as dark, disturbing bass rolls through passing brass sections and faster-moving percussion. A strong EP that shows while a DJ at heart, mSdoS can produce like the best of them.

text: my lonesome have been working on a set of mufflers that don't sound like fecal matter. I am having a difficult time finding just the mufflers (race mufflers). I DO NOT want an entire exhaust system. I do have the capability of fabing up mufflers, I have custom made equal length headers to an x pipe thus far. I DO NOT want the mufflers to have those two little connections keeping them together. I will be making this a side exit. The motor is a carbed 5.5 lt small journal sbc. Should be able to make power to 7800 or so rpm. I am looking for the highest frequency/note/tone/pitch I can get. I very much enjoy the higher, crisper, cleaner sound the euroapean v8 makes. I hate with a passion the rumble of the harley/dumptruck American v8. I have heard flowmasters on these cars. I don't know if it was the particular flowmaster series or what. But that m3 was a dumptruck. I am trying to avoid that. Sounds like a chevy small block doing a dyno pull to me... htt p: //w ww.youtu be. com/watch?v=Y-mGGf5Ncx8 h ttp://ww w.yout ube. com/watch?v=5BhxWH9Dg_M]BMW E92 M3 Eisenmann race exhaust - YouTube[/url] amazing high frequency sound htt p://w ww.youtube.co m/watch?v=SbT0IqFIfnc]iPE Innotech E92 M3 Evolution Valvetronic Exhaust System F1 Sound - YouTub h ttp://www.y outube.com/watch?v=n_n8HiJzA6A]BMW M3 iPe Valvetronic Exhaust Sound (Drive By, Downshift, Rev) - You Tube Here is a cutaway of a corsa muffler. ht tp://s805.b eta.photobucket.co m/user/Phastek/media/March%202010%20Show/Corsa1.jpg.html?filters[term]=recent&filters[primary] =images I am rather sure that the chambers in the muffler can be designed as such to reflect frequencies to cancel out the unwanted frequencies. I just can't find the math anywhere to determine the dimensions of the chambers. I am working with 17.9 inch long primary tubes that are 1 and 5/8 in diameter, they go into a 2.5 inch collector, that then goes into a 3 inch x pipe, that will then go directly to the side exit mufflers. I am keeping it as short as possible to help retain the sound I am after. This is what I am avoiding. htt p://ww w.youtube.c om/watch?v=klmAQFh1l-E]Magnaflow Exhaust on a Chevy Truck - YouTube Same motor different car different mufflers... http://w ww.youtube.com/watch?v=IVWZMKMmjMQ So does anyone know how to design the muffler to achieve this? Or designing a resonator to do this? Or simply the chambers inside the muffler to do this? I am so stuck. Also I don't think a helmholts resonator of any kind will do the trick. that would only cancel out the freq. I think this is more like a musical instrument where the sound entering is not going to be the sound at the bell of the horn coming out.

Pretty sick rail steez for sure! Some of the best ive seen!
But am i am curious to know, am I the only person in this sport that thinks the rail riding is getting a little bit ridiculous lately? How many different combinations of 270 on and off with taps and presses can keep me sayin "ooooohhhh"? Definitely no hatred intended boys, no doubt you look good doin what you do, but I think a few more kicker hits and definitely some air tricks would separate your video from the rest of the bunch these days.

^ Actually I think rail riding is FINALLY getting close to where it should be. For to long wakeboarders have just been getting by with back lip 90 out, 270 on 270 out….. ect ect. This is the progression that needed to happen and is why wakeboard rail riding is looked down on, but we still have a long ways to go. Props to steffen and nico for helping pave the way!

The Mawlamyaing Strand Hotel
Top of the range in Mawlamyine
What we say:
It's got nothing to do with Rangoon's famous Strand Hotel but Mawlamyine's Strand does possess a prime spot on the road of the same name and is both the town's largest and most upmarket accommodation option at present. The Mawlamyaing Strand, with yet another interesting town spelling variation, is located at the northern end of the riverfront road north of the central market and adjacent to Attran, so it also has some great views across the estuary. This relatively new five-storey construction is indeed probably the most imposing building in the downtown area and at least has the advantage of plenty of rooms, so you'll have a good chance of some availability in high season, though it's very popular with Thai tour groups.
Rooms are excellent and while price-wise it's firmly in the midrange category, it's definitely way more than twice as good as some of the rundown guesthouses offering shabby rooms at half this price. Rooms are spic and span with all mod cons, there's a spacious lobby with very helpful and friendly staff (Westerners are still something of a novelty), a bar and restaurant and a rather good buffet breakfast is included in the room rate. They also offer free WiFi, though not unusually for Burma, it didn't work when we visited. Superior rooms are really a good deal for Mawlamyine and the more expensive deluxe choice has larger rooms on higher floors, so better views. They also have large family rooms, called royal deluxe, which would be suitable for a couple with two or three kids.

I think there are guys on here that would sooner leave their sleeping bag rather than their spotter... I think it really depends on terrain and species you are hunting. In some areas your hunt would really suffer if you didn't have one.
A spotting scope and tripod are one of the heaviest items in my pack next to water and I am wondering if it is really worth that extra weight. Just curious what opinions you guys have.

It depends on the terrain, where I hunt elk a spotter would do you no good, you can't see very far so it stays home. When hunting mule deer I can see for miles and the spotter is a must then.

It all depends on terrain, open country with good vantage points, it's in my pack. Dark timber and such, it stays in the truck.
In the country I hunt it's a must, couldn't even imagine not having my spotter.
"Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I fee. One is the colors that fly high and proud The red, the white, the blue. The other one's got a rattlesnake With a simple statement made "Don't tread on me" is what it says and I'll take that to my grave. Because this is me. I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs. And I've said it before but I'll say it again 'Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land. And a country boy is all I'll ever be."
Really depends on the terrain, the species, the objective, the weapon and quite honestly; how far I am into the season and how much tolerance I have for the extra weight.
I am trying something a little different during rifle elk this season. Spotter will get a bunch of "park & spot use but it will stay behind. If all works as planned I'll carry my 15x50 swaro slc binoculars with a small tripod that I can mount them on for spotting. They are a little bulky for around - the -neck but manageable, and they are close enough to my spotter that I may be able to keep it to one set of glass.

I always have a spotter. I would feel naked without one.
Spotter always for me. Yes it's bulky in my pack but it's a must. There are some light weight spotters out there that are affordable you may want to consider that.

BEDFORD TOWNSHIP — A 14-year-old Bedford Township youth was questioned by Monroe County sheriff's deputies about a bomb threat Friday afternoon at Bedford Public Schools.
The incident occurred at 1:43 p.m., when a call came into the district's administration building advising there was a bomb in a school cafeteria.
School Resource Officer Randy Krupp responded, along with sheriff's deputies and members of the Special Response Team (SRT), who already were working in the district due to security concerns over the past few days.
Deputies and SRT members responded to each school within the district and met with the principals while completing a thorough search of the buildings.
During this time, no evidence was found to determine that the threat was valid.
Deputies investigated the call and determined it had initiated from a residence in Temperance.
After deputies questioned the juvenile, he was released to his father, pending charges to be sought. Officer Krupp and Deputy Jay Johnson are continuing the investigation.
Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Monroe County Sheriff's Office at 243-7070.

This was a must-see matchup, the 43-year-old greatest closer in history and the 22-year-old highly hyped rookie phenom, Mariano Rivera for the Yankees vs. Yasiel Puig for the Dodgers with Los Angeles down to its final out with no one on in Game 1 of a day/night doubleheader.
"It's a situation that I'm trying to get him out and I'm sure he's trying to hit a home run," Rivera said.
Rivera won the showdown, getting Puig looking at a 93 mph pitch sailing on by, nailing down the Yankees' 6-4 victory Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. But the 6-foot-3, 245-pound Cuban right fielder made an impression overall. ...

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said its final rule on employment-based wellness programs, released yesterday, supports workplace health promotion and prevention as a means to reduce the burden of chronic illness, to improve health, and to limit growth of health care costs, all while ensuring that individuals "are protected from unfair underwriting practices that could otherwise reduce benefits based on health status."
The final rule continues to support "participatory wellness programs," which generally are available without regard to an individual's health status. These programs reimburse or reward employees for such initiatives as joining a fitness center, attending health education seminars, or completing a health risk assessment with no obligation to take further action.
The rules also outline standards for nondiscriminatory "health-contingent wellness programs." These generally reward individuals who meet a specific standard related to their health; for example, quitting or cutting down on tobacco use; achieving a specified cholesterol level, weight, or body mass index; or, if the individual fails to meet these goals, taking certain other healthy actions.
The maximum reward that employers may offer employees under appropriately designed wellness programs is 30% of the total cost of employee-only coverage under the plan, except for tobacco-use program rewards, which max out at 50%. The final rule also requires that health-contingent wellness programs be reasonably designed, be uniformly available to all similarly situated individuals, and accommodate recommendations made at any time by an individual's physician based on medical appropriateness.
The final rule, issued jointly by HHS, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Department of Labor, will be effective for plan years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014.
Meanwhile, a recent Wall Street Journal article reported that nearly 90% of employers offer incentives, financial rewards, or prizes to employees who work toward specified wellness goals, up from 57% in 2009. The article continues with pros and cons of popular types of programs.

Martyrs Give Victory to Love, Says Pope
Notes That Motivation Is Divine Charity
| 3296 hits
VATICAN CITY, JAN. 1, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Martyrs achieve the victory of love over hatred, Benedict XVI said on the feast of the first martyr, St. Stephen.
The Pope said this last Wednesday before praying the Angelus with those gathered in St. Peter's Square. He began by recalling how Stephen "was stoned at the gates of Jerusalem and died, like Jesus, invoking forgiveness for his killers."
"The deep bond that unites Christ to his first martyr," said the Holy Father, "is divine charity. And the same love that brought the Son of God ... to obey even unto death on the cross, later brought the apostles and martyrs to give their lives for the Gospel."
"We must always highlight this distinctive characteristic of Christian martyrdom," the Pontiff added. "It is exclusively an act of love, toward God and toward man, including our persecutors."
Benedict XVI continued: "Over the centuries, how many sons and daughters of the Church have followed their example, from the first persecutions of Jerusalem to those of the Roman emperors, and on to the ranks of martyrs of our own times?
"Today, in fact, not infrequently there comes news from various parts of the world of missionaries, priests, bishops, religious and lay faithful, persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, deprived of their freedom or prevented from exercising it because they are disciples of Christ and apostles of the Gospel. Sometimes people also suffer and die for communion with the universal Church and faithfulness to the Pope."
He then recalled the Vietnamese martyr Paul Le-Bao-Tinh -- who was also mentioned in the recent encyclical "Spe Salvi" -- and explained how "suffering is transformed into joy by the force of hope that comes from faith" because "Christian martyrs, like Christ and by union with him, intimately accept the cross and transform it into an action of love."
"What from outside is an act of brutal violence, from the inside becomes an act of love," said the Holy Father. "Christian martyrs achieve the victory of love over hatred and death."
The Pontiff concluded his remarks by calling for prayers "for all those suffering because of their faithfulness to Christ and His Church. Mary Most Holy, Queen of Martyrs, help us to be credible witnesses to the Gospel, answering enemies with the disarming power of truth and charity."

text: Motivation and recognition - two separate but similar stimuli. I would say that motivating creativity is to open the white-board to blue sky innovation. The recognition for taking the blue sky and creating something concrete can take the form of monetary, peer recognition, senior recognition and industry recognition. In the end, in my personal opinion, I think we all want to be recognized for our contributions, know we are moving peddling and collectively riding in the same direction toward success and bring meaning to the equation - regardless of our chosen path.

West Jefferson Hills unveils high school building options
It could be up to the taxpayers to decide if a project to renovate or construct a new high school in West Jefferson Hills moves forward in a timely fashion.
Community members for the first time on Monday night reviewed options for modernizing Thomas Jefferson High School. The possibilities are: an overhaul of the more than 50 year old high school or construction of a new facility. That could occur on either the site of the current high school or on a recently purchased property along Old Clairton Road.
Yet, each option came with a hefty price tag – ranging from $60 to $72 million. And funding a high school project, in any form, likely will require a tax increase, board members said. "Whether we're talking renovation or we're talking building new, we're still over $60 million," board member Darlene Schreiber said. "It doesn't matter which way we go when it comes to the finances. It's still a significant amount of money."
To finance the project, the board could seek voters' permission, through a referendum, to raise taxes above a Pennsylvania Department of Education-issued index. That, though, would not occur until, at the earliest, spring 2014, board Vice President Shauna D'Alessandro said.
The state issued index is 2.2 percent for West Jefferson Hills for the 2013-14 school year and board members last month already agreed not to raise taxes above that rate.
"I think we have a chance in this district, because we're not like the other districts. We're Happy Valley here," D'Alessandro said. "It's amazing. People come here and they don't leave. We do have a lot of buy into this school district, so I think that we do have a chance at passing a referendum, but it's not something that the board does. A referendum is a community effort."
The district has not raised taxes since the 2008-09 school year. The tax rate for the 2012-13 school year is 21.08 mills.
Another option would be to raise taxes to the index each year, "systematically," for several years, D'Alessandro said.
"To raise taxes every year by the index so as not to go to referendum, it may take us seven years," D'Alessandro said. "If we have to depend on the future to go up that percentage of a mill, we could jeopardize ourselves financially. That's what I don't want to see happen here."
D'Alessandro recommended bringing in an expert, Mike Paston, of the Upper Dublin School District, to talk with residents about how a referendum is conducted. Other board members agreed to the idea.
Passing a referendum is a "political campaign" and takes a community buy-in, D'Alessandro said.
"It is going to involve work," D'Alessandro said, noting that community members will be tasked with getting their neighbors to understand that the high school project will affect all property owners. "It is important that at the end of the day, the community understands and appreciates the value that a good school system brings to them."
Residents at Monday's meeting showed support for the idea, but said they would like to have a dollar figure for how much taxes could go up.
"I want to be able to give them a figure," said parent Dan Deabner, noting he already is working to convince others to support the project.
Options for high school upgrades vary greatly.
No matter which option is selected, the high school stadium and field house likely will remain on the existing site in the 300 block of Old Clairton Road, district architect Ryan Pierce said. Reconstructing the facility, built nearly 10 years ago, would cost between $7 and $10 million.
A renovation of Thomas Jefferson High School would cost about $60 million. That project would be completed in August 2019.
The project would include the demolition and reconstruction of the auditorium and main gymnasium and the addition of a food court. A natatorium would be added, classrooms upgraded, the library modernized, interior finishes renovated, heating systems replaced and fire suppression systems installed.
"The proposed renovation is upgrading this building to provide the same or similar programs to what a new facility could provide," Pierce said.
While this project would have a lower construction cost than other options presented, it does have its downfalls, Pierce said.
Temporary trailers would be needed for classes during construction, Pierce said. Additional retaining walls also would be needed on the site.
Another option is to build a new high school on the current Thomas Jefferson site, costing about $72.4 million. The project would be completed in August 2018.
The new high school would be built on property bordering Wakefield Drive.
The project would have "high site costs" and the building layout would need to be structured around the topography of the site, Pierce said. Large retaining walls also would need to be built.
The third option is to construct a school on the newly acquired, 151 acre property along Old Clairton Road. That project would cost $69.5 million. Construction would be completed in December 2017.
For both new buildings, the current high school would be used for education during construction then demolished and used for parking, Pierce said.
The district could seek Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification for both new buildings, Pierce said. That could lead to future cost savings, he said.
There are more pros to building on the newly purchased site, which is "fairly flat" and open, Pierce said.
For both new constructions, the administration facilities could be moved to the high school for an added $1.1 million, with hopes of a long term savings, Pierce said.
Residents applauded the plans.
"I could not be more happy that we're all here considering this," parent Jill Bertini said. "I wish it was 10 years ago that we were doing this and we could all be in the new high school right now, but it is what it is."
The next step is for the school board to rank the options, Pierce said.
Yet, finances will play a role in that decision.
"One of the things that has been a staple of this board and this school district is fiscal prudence. And as much as we want these items to happen — we want to make our district look beautiful and accommodate all of our children for academic reasons — we can't lose sight of the fiscal prudency," school board member Marianne Neel said. "We have to be conscious of what our residents, our constituents, can and cannot handle."

Posted by Tom Fornelli
After getting my new copy of EA Sports' NCAA Football 12 on Tuesday, I took the time to simulate the entire 2012 season to see what the video game thinks is going to happen this year. In order to make things realistic, I even went through all the trouble of updating rosters to reflect what they currently look like.
That meant moving Russell Wilson from NC State to Wisconsin, removing Terrelle Pryor -- not to mention benching the suspended Buckeyes for the first five games of the season -- removing WaShaun Ealey and Caleb King from Georgia's backfield and so on and so forth.
No need to thank me, it was a labor of love.
So how did things turn out?
Well, it looks as if we'll once again have a non-BCS school finish the year undefeated -- the only school to do so -- but it's not Boise State or TCU. In fact, Boise State finally got its shot at a national title, but it couldn't come through.
Who did?
Let's find out. First we'll start with the conference champions (Records don't include conference championships or bowl games).
ACC -- North Carolina 9-3 (6-2)
Big 12 -- Texas A&M 10-2 (8-1)
Big East -- South Florida 9-3 (6-1)
Big Ten -- Wisconsin 11-1 (7-1)
C-USA -- Houston 12-0 (8-0)
MAC -- Western Michigan 10-2 (7-1)
MWC -- Boise State 12-0 (7-0)
Pac 12 -- Oregon 9-3 (7-2)
SEC -- South Carolina 11-1 (7-1)
Sun Belt -- Troy 10-2 (8-0)
WAC -- Fresno State 8-4 (7-0)
And how about those BCS bowl games? Well I'm glad you asked.
Rose Bowl -- Wisconsin 49, Oregon 46 OT
Fiesta Bowl -- Texas A&M 38, Ohio State 17
Orange Bowl -- North Carolina 28, Alabama 20
Sugar Bowl -- Houston 48, South Florida 13
BCS National Championship -- South Carolina 24, Boise State 22
Yes, that's right, the Ol' Ball Coach has added another national title to his resume. Boise State did have a chance to topple the BCS machine, but couldn't pull through. Trailing 24-16, Kellen Moore hit Kyle Efaw on a 16-yard touchdown with 3 minutes left, but the Broncos couldn't convert the two-point conversion. The Gamecocks ran out the clock and celebrated a national title. Oh, and Stephen Garcia was the game's MVP. Let that marinate in your brain for a minute or two.
As for awards, I hope Houston quarterback Case Keenum used all that time off last season to build himself a trophy case because it looks as if he's going to need one. Keenum not only won the Heisman Trophy, but the Maxwell, Walter Camp and Davey O'Brien trophies to boot. That's what happens when you lead Houston to a 14-0 record yet still finish second in both polls.
Now, if that's not enough info for you, let's take a look at some of the season storylines by conference.
-- Jimbo Fisher hits the sophomore slump. Florida State doesn't even qualify for a bowl berth after finishing the year 5-7 with a 3-5 mark within the ACC. FSU loses to Oklahoma, Wake Forest, Maryland, NC State, Boston College, Miami and Florida. And of those losses, only the loss to Florida was by less than 10 points.
-- Al Golden has Miami on the right track. Sure, the Canes only went 8-5 during the season, but they did finish 6-2 in ACC play, just missing the ACC title game thanks to a 27-17 loss to North Carolina
-- Duke goes bowling! That's right, Duke finishes the year 7-6 with a 4-4 mark in the ACC, including a two-point win over UNC. Though the Dukies do lose to Florida in the Music City Bowl. I have no idea who Steve Spurrier was rooting for while watching.
-- Boston College is the "best" team in the Atlantic Division. The Eagles finish the year 8-6 with a 5-3 mark in the conference. They even nearly beat UNC in the title game, losing 29-27.
Big 12
-- Oklahoma can't handle the pressure. The Sooners started out the year 7-0 before getting shocked by Kansas State on the road -- where else? -- 24-21. They also lost at Oklahoma State 38-24 to end the regular season and kill their hopes of a BCS berth.
-- Texas won't be terrible two years in a row. The Longhorns finish the season 11-2 with a 7-2 mark in the Big 12. Though they do lose to Oklahoma and Texas A&M, which stings a bit.
-- Where have you gone, Blaine Gabbert? Missouri needs you. The Tigers finished the season 4-8 with a 2-7 mark in the conference. Seems they're going to miss Colorado, Nebraska and the North Division.
Big East
-- The Big East is respectable. While no team in the conference finished the season with less than three losses (Pitt being the only with three), seven of the eight Big East schools won at least seven games, with Rutgers holding the only losing record.
-- Louisville can't finish. The Cardinals led the Big East most of the season before losing four of their last five games to finish 3-4 in the conference.
-- Casino or football field, Dana Holgorsen has a tough time winning anywhere this year. The Mountaineers went 2-5 in the Big East during his inaugural campaign.
Big Ten
-- Who needs Jim Tressel and Terrelle Pryor? Ohio State went 4-1 in its first five games of the season while so many of its playmakers sat out, and though the Buckeyes struggled in Big Ten play, they still finished the year 9-4 and got an at-large berth to the Fiesta Bowl. Oh, and they still beat Michigan.
-- Not that Michigan minded all that much, because Brady Hoke made believers out of the faithful in his first year. That Michigan loss to Ohio State? That was the Wolverines only Big Ten loss of the regular season, as they went 7-1 to win the Legends Division.
-- Wisconsin loves Russell Wilson. Wilson and the Badgers tore up the Big Ten all year long until the final week of the regular season. Then, after being 11-0 and ranked #1 for the majority of the regular season, the Badgers fell at home to Penn State 42-28. Though I guess beating Michigan 34-13 in the first Big Ten Championship Game and then Oregon in the Rose Bowl took some of the sting out of it.
-- New kid Nebraska gets picked on. The Huskers went 3-5 in Big Ten play, even losing to Minnesota. Though that wasn't as embarrassing as the 13-7 loss to Ohio -- University, not State -- in the Texas Bowl.
-- USC isn't on probation in virtual reality. So the Trojans were able to win the Pac-12 South division, even if they did lose to Oregon 35-14 in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship.
-- Utah enjoyed their move more than Colorado. The Utes finished the season 5-4 in conference play while Colorado went 3-6.
-- Andrew Luck should have gone pro. Stanford and Luck were off to a very nice start to the season, opening 7-0. Then Luck broke his arm, missed the rest of the year and Stanford finished 10-3.
-- The East still stinks. Sure, South Carolina wins the national title, but no other SEC East team managed to win more than four games in the conference. Meanwhile, in the West, LSU had the worst season of anyone, going 7-6 with a 3-5 mark in the SEC. Les Miles needs to eat more grass.
-- Will Muschamp did OK. Florida finished the season 9-4 with a 4-4 mark in the SEC, though Charlie Weis' offense needs some work. The Gators never scored more than 21 points against a SEC opponent not named Vanderbilt.
-- Alabama needs to fire Nick Saban, PAAAAWWWWWWWL. Oh the indignity of Alabama's 2012 season. Not only did the Tide lose the SEC title game to South Carolina, but then they went and lost to North Carolina in the Orange Bowl. Since when does Alabama play in the Orange Bowl, PAAWWWWL? NICK SABAN HAS GOT TO GO.
-- Auburn doesn't miss Cam Newton as much as you'd think. Even without their Heisman winning quarterback, the Tigers still manage to go 8-5 with a 4-4 mark in the conference. Not great, but not terrible either.
-- TCU would like to get to the Big East ASAP. The Horned Frogs lose twice in 2012, and not just to Boise State. Unlike 2011, TCU wasn't able to escape San Diego State, losing 33-30 at Qualcomm Stadium.
-- Notre Dame is back! The Irish finish the year 10-3, and feature one of the most potent offenses in college football. Why they're painting Brian Kelly over Touchdown Jesus as you read this.
-- BYU finds independence to be constricting. The Cougars first season free of the shackles of conferencedom does not work out very well, as BYU finishes the year 4-8 and even loses to Utah State along the way.
-- While I already went over the disrespect Houston received, what about conference mate Southern Miss? The Golden Eagles finished the regular season 11-1 before losing to Houston in the C-USA title game, and they couldn't even sniff the Top 25.
And that's it. There's the entire 2011 season right there according to a video game. I suppose at this point there's no point in even watching any of the games. Now, if you don't mind me, I'm going to go try and wrap my head around Stephen Garcia leading South Carolina to a national championship.
Can you imagine that party?

Like Garcia Can Stay Sober For A Whole Year
South Carolina has a good team with a top notch RB & WR. But how long can the " Ole Ball Coach " keep his Jekyll & Hyde qb sober. How many times has this kid been in trouble? Most school would have already put him in the road. But the Ole Ball Coach knows he has no chance of winning the SEC east without Drunk Boy. I never thought he would sell his soul for win but i guess the SEC east needs one coach that will sell his soul and mervin meyer is gone so now steve is the cover up boy. Time will tell if the sell out works.

EA Sports hasn't yet made such an obvious mistake as breaking the Sugar Bowl - SEC tie-in.I am fairly certain that due to a SEC team being in the NC, the Sugar Bowl does not have to choose an SEC team. The automatic tie in is lost when S. Carolina makes the title game. Again, this is a simulation, not a prediction. Who hasn't simmed a season and seen some jacked up results. It's really not worth getting your undies in a bunch.

Our aggrevation isn't so much over the results, but the claim that he "tweaked" the game; albeit only to align recent transfers to their correct teams.
EA Sports hasn't yet made such an obvious mistake as breaking the Sugar Bowl - SEC tie-in. This simulation did, so we're questioning how far the tweaking actually went. Some of us are quite surprised at how our teams were 'simulated' to perform and are simply wondering what amount of tweaking was done to them in order to get the results that were posted.
Otherwise, you are quite right. It's just another opinion about the upcoming season.

Cannot give much credibility to a guy who does not even know which conferences play in which bowl. SEC champion plays in Sugar. IF SEC champion plays in National Championship game ( as Auburn did last year and as SEC has done for last 5 years) then SEC still plays in Sugar. In that case, Sugar chooses who it wants from SEC. Last year when Auburn played in championship game, Sugar chose Arkansas over S Carolina which was SEC East Champ. But author of this article does not even put SEC team in Sugar.

William Elias of Canton. / 2012 photo by PATRICIA BECK/DFP
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against the Federal Home Mortgage Corp. filed by metro Detroit real estate broker William Elias, whose short sale business was blacklisted by the government-sponsored loan corporation last fall and raided by the FBI.
U.S. District Judge John Corbett OMeara of Detroit granted Freddie Macs motion to dismiss Elias suit late last month, according to court filings.
In the lawsuit, Elias, a Canton resident who advertised himself as metro Detroits short sale expert, claimed Freddie Mac officials were wrong to place him and his Elias Realty on its Exclusionary List of entities with whom it wont do direct or indirect business.
The action effectively banned Elias from doing short sales for at least two years, all but killing his 100-employee firm.
Freddie Mac placed Elias and his firm on the list after its investigators determined that he ran afoul of federal guidelines for short sales by, among other things, charging prohibited $995 up-front fees in the guise of computer software.
OMeara dismissed Elias eight-count complaint that the blacklisting amounted to defamation, civil conspiracy and other infringements. The lawsuit was filed in January.
In February, the FBI raided Elias Realtys Livonia headquarters and Brighton sales office, seizing computers and short sale documents. No criminal charges have been filed against Elias in the case.
Elias did not return a phone message today seeking comment. His attorney, former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, was out of the country and unavailable for comment.
In an April interview with the Free Press, Elias defended his controversial buy and bail strategy for assisting borrowers trapped in underwater mortgages. He claimed Freddie Mac targeted him because his short sale business cost the loan corporation too much money.
Freddie Macs attorney did not return a phone message for comment.

'Double zero' stalls Melandri momentum
10 September 2012
Marco Melandri is confident he can recover his momentum next time out in Portugal after seeing his shortlived World Superbike Championship lead wiped out with an unprecedented double DNF at the Nurburgring.
Determined to put on a good performance for BMW on home soil, Melandri appeared uncomfortable from the start of race one, but was holding down a solid third place when he tucked the front under braking for the Dunlop hairpin.
Though Max Biaggi's subsequent win hauled him back ahead in the overall standings by 6.5 points, Melandri looked on course to overturn that deficit again in race two when it was the Aprilia rider's turn to take a tumble.
However, while Melandri would work himself up to the front of the field, another front-end crash at turn eleven would consign him to his second retirement of the day and his fourth of the season.
While Biaggi's recovery to only 13th means the championship remains finely poised with just 9.5 points between the Italians with two rounds and four races remaining, Melandri admits the accidents have left him perplexed.
"This was my first time getting a double zero. It was two different races, but with the same result. I am very disappointed for the team that is working so hard. In race one I struggled a lot with the rear grip and was losing a lot compared to the guys in front of me so I was trying to catch them in braking.
"I was braking very hard every time but in corner eight I took a bump and just lost the front. I don't know what caused my crash in race two yet. I was on the straight and lost the front. That was strange. Now I will recharge my batteries and fight back in Portugal."

A Jacksonville family gathered to celebrate a birthday for a man who was killed last July at a Westside bus stop.
Police said Michael Siegrist was killed during a robbery at a bus stop on Jammes Road in July. That is where family and friends met to honor his life Monday night.
Siegrist would have turned 35 on Monday and the person responsible for his death still has not been found.
"I think somebody should have known something or somebody might have said something to somebody else. He was murdered senselessly. He was trying to defend a girl who was getting her purse stolen," said Michael's father, Vinny Siegrist.
Friends gathered with balloons, flowers, signs and candles to honor Siegrist Monday night and in hopes that anyone with information about Siegrist's murder will call police.

For the second straight year, there are no spectators at The Players on Monday.
Last year, a bad storm with high winds came through Ponte Vedra on the weekend before the tournament and the clean up process prevented the golf course from being open to spectators on the first day of the week.
With limited spectator involvement on Monday to begin with, the Tour decided to keep the golf course closed again this year to fans, opening on Tuesday for the first time.
No doubt the cost of services provided on Monday exceeded the revenue generated so closing on the first day of the week would be no big deal. The problem is, there are a lot of fans that really enjoy Monday. It's always been a chance for some "purists" to look over the golf course and perhaps stand on the range and just watch players hit balls.
Monday's never been about the party, it's always been about the golf without the extra thousands of spectators who are there for different reasons than to examine Bubba Watson's length or J.B. Holmes' shot shape.
With just media, players and officials at the golf course, the equipment examination by players that happens every week is magnified. Equipment manufacturers are represented at every tour stop early in the week and The Players is no exception. What a golf club feels like in your hands ins a very personal thing and the reps running the trucks know some players are going to tinker every week and others are going to stick to what they know. The number of players who work on their own clubs is virtually nil compared to 25 years ago.
Arnold Palmer was perhaps the most famous "tinkerer" when it came to altering his clubs when he deemed necessary. Now, the equipment trucks can be so precise that players rely on the "guys in the truck" to work on their sticks and get it right.
The most celebrated equipment change this week is Jim Furyk's putter. The Ponte Vedra Beach resident went to a new Odyssey putter before last week's tournament in Charlotte and shot 7 under 66 in the final round, finishing second. Interestingly enough, Furyk's new putter is 38 inches long and counterbalanced in the grip.
The other equipment news this year is how many players are hitting the new TaylorMade Speed Pocket irons. Titelist has had a polymer insert in their AP irons for a few years but TaylorMade's Speed Pocket irons now have a polymer in the slot that softens the feel and increases the speed of the face for a faster launch.

From the Labs: Biotechnology
New publications, experiments and breakthroughs in biotechnology–and what they mean.
Scientists engineered this three-month-old frog to make a new fluorescent protein in its muscle tissues.
Glowing from Within
A new fluorescent marker illuminates tissue deep within living animals
SOURCE: "Bright Far-Red Fluorescent Protein for Whole-Body Imaging"
Dmitriy Chudakov et al.
Nature Methods 4: 741-746
RESULTS: Using genetic-engineering techniques, scientists have altered a red protein found in sea anemones to create a fluorescent marker that can be used to study living tissue deep in the body.
WHY IT MATTERS: The light from existing fluorescent markers is difficult to detect through layers of tissue, so the use of such markers has been limited to dissected or surface tissue or to transparent animals, such as worms. This new marker emits light in the far-red part of the spectrum, which can better pass through living tissue. That means the marker can be used in live animals to help researchers track molecular and cellular activity, such as the rapid division of cancer cells, in real time.
METHODS: By inducing both random and directed mutations in the anemone protein, scientists altered it to create new compounds that are brighter than the original one. They then tested the new proteins both in frogs and in human cells, showing that they shine much more brightly than those previously available.
NEXT STEPS: Collaborators of the scientists will soon begin testing the proteins in mice. Although the markers aren't bright enough for whole-body imaging of humans, they might eventually be used to image human tumors that are near the surface of the skin, such as melanoma and breast cancer.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
On Molina's sixth day in jail, her family mortgaged its Laguna Niguel home to pay the $25,000 nonrefundable fee on the $250,000 bail.
Not much has changed in the case during the past 20 months—except that the prosecution now allegedly admits that there was never any definitive evidence of a contact wound.
On May 28, 1999, Lampel says Orange County Deputy District Attorney Robin Park, the prosecutor in the Molina case, made what he characterized as a "bombshell" of an admission. According to Lampel, Park told him, "It turns out there wasn't exactly a contact wound. The shot was from two to three feet away."
If Lampel's account is accurate, both the defense and, apparently, now the prosecution agree on the location of the gun when it was fired—a distance that mirrors Molina's story. Park declined to answer any questions about the case, saying only that she wants to "make sure that the defendant has a completely fair trial."
Though a key piece of evidence prompting the arrest and murder charge has been thoroughly debunked, the prosecution of Molina nevertheless continues. On July 17, she will stand trial at the main courthouse in Santa Ana on first-degree murder charges. If convicted, she could spend 35 years to life in prison.
Although he wore shorts, sneakers and an old white T-shirt when he entered a Laguna Beach coffeehouse on a recent afternoon, Jack Holder was obviously no sightseeing tourist. He carried himself in a way that screamed cop. Dark sunglasses rested on his bright-red forehead. His first name is tattooed in script on his meaty left forearm. Several nearby coffee sippers glanced at him but quickly looked away, seemingly intimidated.
Holder is a retired Los Angeles Police Department homicide detective. During his 27 years of service, he reluctantly guessed, he worked on "500, 700, maybe more" homicides. He was instrumental in solving the infamous Hillside Strangler case that dominated national headlines in the late 1970s. He left the force a decade ago and now spends his free time working as a private detective. In January 1999, Holder reviewed the case against the woman and joined the defense team.
"I bleed blue," he said of his allegiance to law enforcement. "But I just don't understand how this murder case got filed. I would have thought that somebody along the line would have said, 'Wow, wait a minute. We have no case here.'"
Holder's stubby, battle-scarred fingers tore off the plastic lid to his blended-mocha drink. He tossed aside the straw, took a final swig and shook his head.
"This was an accidental death. It was a horrible thing, but it was an accident. [Molina] never even let her boy miss an appointment with his pediatrician. She had no record of ever abusing the boy, and every part of her story checked out," he said. "I don't necessarily want this known, but I believe her so much that I would have taken this case for free."
If Holder is right, petty ego is a significant factor in the prosecution of Shantae Molina. He believes Guest became annoyed when Lampel was hired and then "set out to show everyone who was boss." Tapes of the detective's interviews in the case suggest Holder has a point. A clearly angered Guest drilled several witnesses for information not merely on Molina but also on her attorney, insinuating that Lampel had coached witnesses to alter their stories about Molina's post-shooting statements. (In those tapes, everyone associated with the case—more than a dozen people—adamantly denies the accusation.)
Ironically, the tapes reveal that it was the police who almost desperately tried to get Molina's friends and family members to change their stories. At one point, just after the baby had died, Guest and a partner lied to Molina's father, claiming falsely that his daughter had refused to give a statement to police and that they had information that he was hiding the truth about what had happened. A police videotape also shows Guest badgering Molina after reading her the Miranda warning that specifically states suspects have a constitutional right to have an attorney present during questioning. When she asked for a lawyer, he chided her, "You're an adult; you're 20 years old." She repeated her request four consecutive times before the detective backed off.
Even more alarming to Holder, the sheriff's investigation was in his view shoddy—if not downright incompetent. Guest dismissed the mysterious footprints found near Molina's bedroom wall on the afternoon of the shooting, saying oddly that he did not believe it to be a "criminally placed footprint." The term caused Holder to chuckle. "I'd love to know how to tell the difference between a criminally placed footprint and one that is not," he said.
Holder pointed to other holes in the prosecution's case: on the day of the shooting, less than 10 minutes before Molina heard what she thought was a prowler, a burglar alarm was triggered at a residence not more than 20 homes away. Detectives—perhaps locked into their view that Molina had fabricated a story about hearing noises—apparently failed to explore the possibility of a connection. Then, in filing for a warrant to arrest Molina, Guest attached as evidence the initial Sheriff's Department report of the shooting. There's just one problem: Holder said the report supports Molina's version of events. "Guest never really spelled out his case for murder to get the warrant," he said.

Donna Stewart, College of Management, recently was recognized by the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference for her 13 years of service. She received a plaque from the WIAC during a Chancellor's Cabinet meeting.
Stewart's tenure as UW-Stout's women's NCAA faculty athletic representative coincided with the merger of the Wisconsin Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WWIAC) and the Wisconsin State University Conference (WSUC) into the WIAC in 1997.
Stewart, who teaches in the operations and management department, stepped down from the volunteer position in 2010. She advocated for the student-athlete, promoted varsity athletics across campus and served on the WIAC Eligibility Exceptions Committee.
She worked as a volunteer at the WIAC indoor track championships UW-Stout hosted on several occasions.
"Donna most impacted athletics by advocating for fair and equal opportunities for all athletes on our campus," UW-Stout Athletic Director Duey Naatz said, "and working with the conference to define and implement eligibility-related policy."
